The next day, in the morning court, Chu Chen, together with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, reported that Princess An Xiao encountered a large number of murders on her way to Beijing for the second time. After a joint trial by the three departments, the evidence and confessions obtained were publicly presented to Your Majesty in the morning court.
.
The scripts that were started in the morning must be read out in the morning.
Eunuch Zhang received the memorial submitted by Chu Chen. After taking a look at it, he almost couldn't hold it and his face turned a little pale. But it was about Princess An, so he gritted his teeth and read it out to the emperor without reminding him.
As the emperor listened, his face gradually darkened, and then darkened again.
Zhang Zaifu's grandson, Zhang Chengze, fled to Nanliang, leaving behind a large number of trained killers. The leader of the killers contacted Empress Shun in the palace, and robbed and killed Princess An Xiao on the way because Empress Shun concubine hated An Xiaojun.
Lord, I don’t know where I got the news that there would be heavy rain that day, so I planned to kill someone in the heavy rain.
The confession was given by the killer leader who was captured alive by Princess An Xiao. The evidence is conclusive. Please, Your Majesty, punish Concubine Shun.
The emperor loves flowers like jade so much these days. Everyone in the civil and military dynasty and the three thousand beauties in the harem are known to everyone. They have all become the exclusive favorites of the royal family.
Chu Chen made it clear that he wanted the emperor to punish the concubine.
The courtiers were all stunned. They looked at Chu Chen standing firmly in the court hall, and then looked at the emperor's dark face, like a black cloud pressing over the mountain. It was so scary that Chu Chen didn't even have the slightest fear in his heart.
I admire you very much.
The courtiers all thought that Prince Shanqin's Palace and Nanyang Palace seemed to have reconciled recently. Princess Changning also went to Nanyang to play. Oh, by the way, among the people who followed Princess Anxiao back to Beijing, there was also Chu Chen's biological sister.
Princess Changning. If those killers killed An Huajin, Chu Siyan probably wouldn’t survive.
Thinking about it this way, you can understand what Chu Chen did in the court today. After all, she is her biological sister.
The court hall was filled with civil and military officials. For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Chu Chen said righteously, "Your Majesty, Zhang Chengze fled to Nanliang, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, followed the concubine for his own personal enmity, contacted the collaborators with the enemy and betrayed the country, and harmed others. It is difficult to guarantee whether he was a spy from Nanliang buried in Dachu. Here.
Waiting for a woman in His Majesty's harem, as soon as she was favored by His Majesty, she began to make trouble. Fortunately, Princess An Xiao brought the Nanyang Palace secret guards with her, otherwise if he succeeded, wouldn't Nanliang dare to immediately raise troops and directly attack Nanyang City?
I wonder if you can face the King of Nanyang who has just lost his granddaughter. At such an old age, he endures grief and responds to the enemy. Is there any chance of winning? I beg your majesty to punish the concubine."
Chu Chen never mentioned the word "immortal". After all, Concubine Shun is now pregnant with His Majesty's heir.
The emperor said nothing and looked at Chu Chen solemnly.
Chu Chen lowered his head and said in a sonorous tone, "Your Majesty, women are a disaster and can bring chaos to the country. There are many examples since ancient times. Your Majesty is a wise and holy king. Please make your decision."
"Chu Chen!" The emperor gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"I'm here."
The emperor held his breath and couldn't get up or get down. For a moment, he didn't know how to make a decision in this situation. How to convict the woman he liked, and how to come to a conclusion when everyone in the court knew about it.
.He seemed to be in a dilemma for the first time in so many years.
This dilemma was obviously given to him by Chu Chen deliberately cooperating with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
He patted the dragon chair heavily, stood up and left the morning court without saying a word.
Eunuch Zhang was startled and quickly chased after him.
His Majesty has been in power for twenty years, and for the first time, he ran away in anger.
Chu Chen raised his head and looked at the emperor who was leaving. His heart sank and he looked at Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan smiled gently at him.
Chu Chen snorted coldly and turned away with a dark face, but after all, his calm heart was not so restless.
The emperor left, and the morning court could not continue. The courtiers looked at me, I looked at you, and they all looked at Chu Chen.
Prince Jing, who was qualified to enter the court, walked up to Chu Chen and showed him the admiration of a warrior, "Little Prince Chen, you are amazing."
After the case was tried and the result was obtained, it was quietly sent to the south study room and openly displayed in the court, catching His Majesty by surprise. This result can be said to be heaven and earth.
It can be seen that Chu Chen really wants to deal with the concubine in the palace.
Prince Shan's Mansion has always been a royalist party and belongs to His Majesty's party. Prince Shan has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years, or it is a way of survival. In short, it is still in His Majesty's heart. Now Chu Chen does not communicate with His Majesty, so
To slap His Majesty in the face, Your Majesty is not a very generous person. I am afraid it will be difficult for Shanqin to live in the palace from now on.
Chu Chen had a sullen face and said to King Jing expressionlessly, "King Jing is very grateful. This case is of great importance. Your Majesty trusts and respects me. Naturally, I have the responsibility to advise His Majesty. It is my duty to give advice without any shirk."
King Jing smiled, "But my father looks very angry."
Chu Chen had a stern face, "Your Majesty is a wise king. If you want to be angry, you are also angry that someone wants to murder Princess An, and your Majesty's love is in vain. That's why your Majesty is angry."
He absolutely refused to admit that he was the one who made His Majesty angry. The person who made His Majesty angry was like a flower.
King Jing was speechless for a while, "Everything you said is right."
Chu Chen snorted and ignored King Jing.
Just pretend to be good and clever, don't think he doesn't know what he's doing behind the scenes. With the person he almost pulled into the situation three years ago, the Shanqin Prince's Palace is determined not to join the king-respecting party. He'd better not waste his efforts.
The emperor left the Jinluan Palace angrily. After walking for a while, he finally stopped under the shout of Eunuch Zhang and cursed, "Chu Chen deserves to die!"
Eunuch Zhang was frightened to death and immediately said, "Your Majesty, young prince Chen... you have done a great job in handling the case."
How could he die!
The emperor turned his head sharply and glared at Eunuch Zhang.
Eunuch Zhang knelt on the ground with a "pop" and did not dare to say a word.
The emperor couldn't calm down for a while. He never expected that Hua Xiyu would be involved in An Huajin's robbery and murder case. She even joined forces with Zhang Chengze's people. Now it was openly revealed to the court by Chu Chen.
How could he protect her?
If he really does not punish the crime, can all the civil and military officials still believe in and support his majesty?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But if there is a crime to be punished, what crime should be punished? She is now pregnant with his heir, not to mention, she has won his heart so much. How can he let go?
A good general is rare, and a beautiful woman you love is also hard to find.
The emperor stood facing the hot sun for a long time. His anger was still there, but he still had some sense. He knew that he could not just ignore the courtiers and ordered in a deep voice, "Preach my decree and disperse the court."
"Yes." Eunuch Zhang got up from the ground.
The emperor then said, "Let Chu Chen come to see me in the south study room."
"Yes." Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but sweat for Chu Chen.
The emperor turned around and went to the south study room.
He originally wanted to go to Hanxiang Palace to question Hua Siyu, but the evidence Chu Chen gave was really conclusive. He knew that questioning would be useless, so he might as well not go to see Hua Siyu for now.
Therefore, Eunuch Zhang returned to the Jinluan Palace to convey His Majesty's decree to disperse the dynasty, and then asked Chu Chen to go to the South Study Room.
When Chu Chen was called away, some people were gloating about his misfortune, some were sweating for him, and some admired his courage. They felt that Prince Shan and Prince Shan had been together for decades, and finally there was someone with different backbone who would not pat His Majesty's thighs and flatter him.
The descendants of Xianxing.
Today is not a court meeting, so Prince Shan naturally doesn’t know what Chu Chen did, and Chu Chen didn’t tell him either.
So, when he got the news, he was so shocked that he didn't hold the tea cup in his hand and let it fall to the ground. His expression changed several times and he stood up. He wanted to enter the palace, but he stopped and thought for a while.
He sat back on the chair.
A staff member looked on with fear, "My lord, you don't know what the young prince did in the court today?"
Prince Shan shook his head, "If I had known about it, I would have stopped him of course. He had just entered the court and was being favored by Your Majesty, and he made such a fuss. He plotted against Your Majesty and slapped His Majesty in the face. How could Your Majesty spare him?"
p>
The staff were also worried, "What should we do? It is said that His Majesty was very angry and left the court for the first time. Later, he called the young prince to the imperial study alone. Now the young prince is still in the imperial study."
He was afraid that if Chu Chen went in head and tail and came out lying down, it would be very bad.
After all, Prince Shan had been living under the nose of the emperor in Beijing for half his life. When he suddenly heard the news, he couldn't sit still for a while. Now that he calmed down, he thought more clearly, "No problem, Chu Chen investigated the case and it was established."
Gong. Although his behavior in the court today angered His Majesty, His Majesty could only scold him a lot without beating him or killing him."
The staff felt relieved. Yes, if His Majesty had not lost his sense, he would have scolded him and not dared to do anything else.
"Every mansion has a way of establishing a person, and every person has a way of establishing a person. My king's way of establishing a person has been engraved in the bones of your majesty and the courtiers. So far, Chu Chen has entered the court.
, he carries a strong label of being the grandson of the good prince, and he is respected in front of others, but may not be looked down upon behind his back. But today, after he did this, who will dare to look down on him in the future?" said the good prince.
, but smiled, "What a good boy, he is worthy of being my grandson. I should praise him for his good work."
