Mr. Wang also said: "Your Majesty, these evidences were collected from Taifu Han's house by Mr. Zhou and other officials. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. No one framed Taifu Han."
Zhou Chun continued: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang said is true. Many officials from the Yushitai were present at that time. As for the crime of rebellion, Your Majesty and I also have witnesses."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face was filled with anger.
He stood up abruptly and said angrily: "What witness? Bring them up quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he ordered the guards outside: "Come here, bring the witness Han Wu to the palace!"
Zhou Chun gave an order, and the guards outside escorted a tied-up young man in.
This man was sallow, thin, and dressed in rags. He looked like a poor man at first glance.
Seeing him, Taifu Han felt very strange. He didn't know this person at all.
At this time, Zhou Chun said: "Your Majesty, the witness Han Wu has been brought to the palace. Han Wu, please kneel down quickly!"
As soon as Han Wu walked in, he was frightened by the majestic atmosphere in the hall!
When Zhou Chun shouted, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud and said in fear and fear: "I see you, the emperor."
Emperor Hongyuan looked at Han Wu majestically and said in a deep voice: "Are you Han Wu? Tell me, did Taifu Han instruct you to rebel?"
Han Wu timidly glanced at Emperor Hongyuan, then glanced at all the ministers, and finally stopped at Taifu Han and said: "Yes, Taifu Han and the villain are from the same hometown. A month ago, Taifu Han wrote to the villain, saying that the current emperor is extorting excessive taxes and being debauched.
He was unprincipled, cruel and unkind, and lacked the sage wisdom of the late emperor, so he gave Xiao a sum of money and asked Xiao to lead the rebellion in the village."
"What? How dare you, Han Bing, be so rebellious and slander me like this?" Emperor Hongyuan glared at Taifu Han angrily, his face dark with anger.
Taifu Han said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know this person at all, and I have never written to him. Someone must be plotting against me. You must not believe it."
Emperor Hongyuan snorted heavily, "How dare you deny so much evidence? You are simply guilty!"
At this time, Zhou Chundao said: "Your Majesty, when I went to arrest Han Wu, he and several villagers from Hanjia Village were about to lead a rebellion. Fortunately, I discovered their plot in time and stopped them from rebelling, otherwise there would be endless trouble."
"Zhou Chun, you are talking nonsense! These evidences are all fabricated by you. I don't know Han Wu at all, let alone instigating him to rebel!" After saying that, Taifu Han looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said, "Your Majesty, please believe me, veteran.
I have no doubts about you."
At this time, Han Wu suddenly said: "Master Han, stop pretending! It was you who wrote to me and instigated me to take the lead in the rebellion. You said that you made suggestions to the emperor, but the emperor repeatedly refused to listen and even scolded you. You are dissatisfied
The emperor's actions are why he asked us to rebel so that you can benefit from it!"
When Zhou Chun heard this, he said coldly: "Your Majesty, what Taifu Han did was simply an evil plan. He has the heart to rebel and wants to destroy the country of Chu. According to the law, everyone in his family should be executed!"
As he spoke, he glanced deeply at Taifu Han.
Only by killing everyone in his family can the others be frightened.
Taifu Han turned pale with anger. He said angrily: "Zhou Chun, you designed all this. I have no grudge against you. Why did you design me?"
Zhou Chun quickly winked at Prince Rui across from him, then looked at Taifu Han and said coldly, "Taifu Han, do you think the emperor will believe you if you beat me up? You have been slandering the emperor recently and maliciously slandering him.
Your Majesty, you are simply disloyal and have evil intentions."
Taifu Han was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You are simply framing the blame and slandering me. I have been loyal to the emperor all my life. The reason why I said that is because I hope that the emperor will no longer be addicted to Taoism and for the sake of the emperor's dragon body. This elixir is not at all
It is not a good thing. It contains highly toxic substances. Once a person takes too much, it will damage the body. Many emperors in history died of poisoning because they were obsessed with elixirs. I only care about the emperor, but you accuse me of having evil intentions!"
Zhou Chun pointed at Taifu Han angrily, "Taifu, you are so brave, how dare you curse the emperor?"
Taifu Han was stunned, "When did I curse the emperor?"
Zhou Chundao: "You said that taking too much elixir can lead to poisoning and death. What if this is not a curse on the emperor? As far as I know, the emperor took the elixir to strengthen his body and live forever. How dare you slander the elixir? What crime do you deserve!"
Emperor Hongyuan's face was so gloomy at this time that he could shed water. He glared at Taifu Han and shouted sternly: "Bold Taifu Han, you are not only embezzling and accepting bribes, but also have bad personal ethics and are plotting to rebel. Now you dare to curse me, come on,
Arrest Taifu Han and execute him immediately!"
When Taifu Han heard this, his face turned pale.
He looked at Emperor Hongyuan sadly and advised: "Your Majesty, even if you want to execute me, I still have to say that you can't go on like this. If you continue to be arrogant, indulge in wine and sex, and ignore the government, what will be recorded in the history books in the future?
You? Do you want people to say that you are a cruel and cruel tyrant? Or a foolish king who cannot distinguish between right and wrong? "
"You! Han Bing, if you haven't repented until now, I will kill your nine tribes!" Emperor Hongyuan pointed at Taifu Han and said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Taifu Han's body went limp, he felt weak all over and looked disappointed.
Others were so frightened that they were walking on thin ice.
Including some of Taifu Han's disciples, they were too scared to speak at this time, as if they were facing an abyss.
Although they were dissatisfied with the emperor in their hearts, they dared not speak out.
At this time, Li Jin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Taifu Han was just impulsive. He did not curse you, he just cares about you."
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Taifu Han only cares about you and causes chaos. Taifu is your teacher, and he will never curse you."
A courageous official stood up and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Taifu Han is dedicated to serving the people. He is just talking without hesitation. Please forgive him once."
"Please, Your Majesty, spare the life of Taifu Han." Half of the bold officials in the hall said in unison.
Hearing these voices, Emperor Hongyuan looked at everyone in disbelief.
He didn't expect that half of the people supported Taifu Han.
The more people support Taifu Han, the more people do not support him.
It turns out that Taifu Han’s reputation in these people’s hearts is so high that it even surpasses that of the emperor!
It seems that Taifu Han cannot be retained anymore.
Thinking of this, he was filled with anger, and he said angrily: "Okay, for the sake of all of you interceding for Taifu Han, I will only attack the other three tribes!"
Taifu Han looked at Emperor Hongyuan in disbelief, his heart dropped to the bottom of his heart.
He stepped forward tremblingly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is me who is guilty, and it has nothing to do with my family. I am willing to die. Please only deal with me, and not with my family. They are innocent."
