Chapter 1212 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
"Eh?" Zhu Tianfu stared closely at the fake Xiao Chen and never looked at the real Xiao Chen again, "This time I saw it for real. There is no doubt that it is him. Prince, now that things have happened, you have to admit it."
Come on... Sir, please take off his pants, I know he has seventy pearls on his back, and that birth vision is the ironclad proof!"
It's not a secret anyway, so he seemed very sincere when he took the initiative to say it.
But there was doubt and anxiety in his heart. I wonder if Zhu Xiaochuan and the others would take off his clothes and pants to check the real prince? If that is the case, the prince would be in serious trouble, because not only does he have seventy-two sons,
As a natural symbol of Mingzhu, he also has something that a eunuch shouldn't have... a big man and a dragon.
"Well, Xiao Chen, I have made you feel wronged." Suddenly a majestic voice sounded from the darkness.
Zhu Xiaochuan, Shao Wenzhao and others who were sitting all stood up quickly, bowed their heads to the voice, and called themselves emperor.
But he saw Li Wanjiang slowly walking out from behind the scenes, looking at Xiao Chen and nodding slightly.
It turns out that this is not a joint trial of three courts, but a personal trial by the imperial chariot!
In any case, this is something that has never happened since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Xiao Chen should feel very honored.
Shocked, he immediately knelt down and shouted "Long Live Long Live", his voice choked with sobs.
A stone suddenly fell to the ground in Zhu Tianfu's heart, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, isn't this Li Wanjiang? You have the nerve to call us rebels, but you are the real traitors! Sooner or later, you will be like me.
Being beheaded, oh, oh, oh! I send my greetings to your ancestors for eight generations, and wish you a long life!"
"Li Wanjiang, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The prince Zhu Yuanqi of the Han Dynasty is still here, but he is in a place you would never expect. You would never even think of it! Hahaha..."
Before his laughter stopped, several guards in uniform covered his mouth and forcibly took him away.
"In order to prove your innocence, Aiqing, I can only do this. Don't blame me." Li Wanjiang sighed, "Aiqing, please be free."
"My lord, I'm not surprised." Xiao Chen was communicating with tears at this moment, not because he was grateful to the emperor, but because of Zhu Tianfu.
And those Tianxuanhui brothers who died on the battlefield...
Zhu Xiaochuan and others also came over to greet him and said they were offended.
Xiao Chen just shook his head slightly and wiped his tears silently, looking depressed and exhausted both physically and mentally.
But it’s not all pretending.
"It's getting late. My dear, you can't enter the palace now. It's better to go back and have a rest early and come see me tomorrow." Li Wanjiang was also in a bad mood. He comforted Xiao Chen with a few words and then drove back to the palace.
"Let's go, brother Xiao, I will take you back." Zhu Xiaochuan's face was not good-looking and his tone was deep.
"Why are you still afraid that a traitor like me will escape?" Xiao Chen had come back to his senses at this moment.
"Don't be ridiculous, brother is going to your house to ask for a drink and help you celebrate the settlement of your grievances," Zhu Xiaochuan said.
Saying goodbye to Shao Wenzhao and others, the two rode in silence all the way, not knowing what to say?
He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice that several black shadows in the darkness suddenly came and went, disappearing in an instant like ghosts.
Guess who they are?
After returning home, Zhu Xiaochuan immediately ordered all the imperial guards to evacuate, but he did not leave. It seemed that he really wanted to have a drink with Xiao Chen.
But when the food and wine were served, Zhu Xiaochuan just held the cup and sighed, having no appetite at all and no desire to drink.
"Hey, Lord Marquis, I can't bear your mood!" Xiao Chen's mood has recovered, "I have been wronged, and you are not happy for me, but what do you mean by sighing with such a grimace?
?Otherwise, you might as well send me to Jinyiwei Prison, so that you won’t be upset when you see me.”
"Brother, I am indeed upset, but it's not because of you. I already knew you were fine, just fulfilling official duties. Haha, if you are really a Tianxuan Society rebel, how can you come here at this time? Brother
Ah, you just came back, but you don’t know that the situation in our Fengyang... Dazhou is not very good," Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"Tianxuanhui is about to be wiped out. Isn't it a great thing to finally get rid of Tianxuanhui, a serious problem, and to dig out so many undercover spies? Brother, why are you so frowning... I see that the emperor is also worried.
...How come there really is a former prince Zhu Yuanqi?" Xiao Chen asked cleverly.
"Haha, this is really not guaranteed. Didn't you listen to what Zhu Tianfu said just now?" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"That Zhu Tianfu is just talking nonsense and biting randomly. How can you believe his words?" Xiao Chen said.
"I can't believe it, but look at his proud look! But these are all clues, so I won't mention them. It's just that there are too many officials who have been bitten by the Tianxuan Society, and the Jinyiwei Prison cannot hold them.
, the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment are also full, and although there are real spies among them, there are also many who are unjustly accused like you."
"Your brother has a high position and great dignity. The emperor can personally interrogate you and clear your name, but those officials cannot examine them all in such detail. This is a heinous crime. Anyone who cannot be sure of his innocence can only
If you can be punished as a traitor... you would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!"
"The prince formed a clique, and hundreds of people died after the incident was exposed. After clearing out the relatives, at least thousands of people died. This time, there are more implicated. I am afraid there are tens of thousands of people, even the king Zhongcheng of southern Xinjiang and the old man Murong Heng of the western region.
The old troops are all involved, and there are things I shouldn’t tell you, even some of the Emperor’s Black Dragon Guard generals are involved.”
"Actually, Tianxuan Hui didn't bite out so many people. They just caught one and interrogated them, and they bit out a few. After catching those few, they bit out a few more. The biting came and went, but
I don’t know when the end will be. Although Mr. Shao and I know that the underlings are trying randomly, we can’t intervene because the case is too big after all..."
Zhu Xiaochuan sighed as he spoke, with a frown on his face.
It seems that there is no need to ask him that many people in the Jinyiwei are involved, and their official positions may not be low. This is actually not surprising. Jinyiwei is a department that offends people, and how many people hate them!
It is estimated that some officials knew they were going to die after being caught, so they bit out all their people and used them as support. Damn it, I was wrongly accused, and you don't want to feel better!
Do you think you are the only one who can fabricate evidence and accuse us? This time, let you see the eloquence of us civil servants and the methods of military generals!
The initiator of this matter was Li Wanjiang, who ordered a thorough investigation in an effort to catch all the remaining members of the Tianxuan Society and eliminate them!
I thought it was a shaving operation, and it would be fine if I shaved cleanly, but unexpectedly, the knife was now shaving deeper and deeper, even the leather bones were damaged. Tianxuanhui didn't know that he had shaved cleanly, but he was going to die from the pain first!
But once he made his word as emperor, he couldn't change it day and night. He could only bite the bullet and keep going. In fact, he was already riding a tiger and it was hard to get off.
