Chu Yi said slowly: "It is my fault that I frightened my father. I dare not shirk the blame, so I ask my father to punish me."
"If you don't find out the real culprit behind the scenes, I'm afraid I will really punish you." The emperor's eyes were full of majesty, cold and domineering.
Chu Yi bit his lip and said, "My son, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
He always looked cold and resolute, but now he looked slightly hesitant, and there was a hint of worry and unbearability in his eyes.
"But it doesn't matter." The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Yidao.
Chu Yi glanced at the emperor and finally said: "The person who planned this incident behind the scenes has evil intentions and ruthless actions. The people he recruited are all dead soldiers. If they fail, they will commit suicide. Looking at the world, there are not many people."
It can be done. Looking at the capital, there are many princes and nobles in the capital. Almost every prince and noble family will raise some loyal dead soldiers to protect the owner from disasters. However, there are not many people who can raise these dead soldiers on such a large scale.
There are only a few people in the court hall."
The emperor's eyes narrowed and he said, "Keep talking."
Chu Yi said slowly: "The first one should be the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Both the Prince of Chu and the Crown Prince have been on the battlefield for many years. There are many such people around them. The Crown Prince of Chu even brought hundreds of personal guards back to the capital from the border. Those people are not usually
Lived in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. But when something happened yesterday, the Crown Prince of Chu stood in front of the hall and killed the most assassins. If those people were from the Prince of Chu's Mansion, the actions of the Crown Prince of Chu would definitely chill the hearts of the other dead men, so Chu
The palace can be excluded."
When he said this, he did not say how loyal the Chu Palace was to the emperor, which eliminated the emperor's suspicion of him.
The emperor nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked: "What next?"
Chu Yi glanced at the emperor and said: "The former Zhenyuan General's Mansion, the Su Mansion, also had many dead soldiers, but the Su Mansion has been exiled by his father, and the people in his mansion have been dispersed long ago. It is impossible to think of such a person."
Things come up."
The emperor put one hand behind his back and said slowly: "What else?"
Chu Yi glanced at the emperor and said: "My eldest brother used to raise a lot of actors and actresses at home. After my eldest brother was imprisoned in the sect's mansion, he was afraid of being used by other people with ulterior motives..."
When talking about Chu Yuan, Chu Yi only said this sentence. The emperor turned his head and glanced at him, his head was slightly lowered.
But the emperor asked: "Why don't you continue talking?"
Chu Yi replied: "Father said that we are brothers, and he will definitely not kill each other. What's more, he is now imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and he would never do such a dishonorable thing."
When the emperor heard this, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he immediately said: "Chu Yi listens!"
Chu Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the emperor said with great majesty: "Chu Yi, the leader of the Jingji Guards, did not manage the city strictly, acted poorly, failed to detect the crisis, and almost caused a catastrophe. I think Chu Yi is the first offender and lacks experience.
Go to the first-grade prince's official position, be demoted to a county king, and then go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive ten bans. If you commit another crime in the future, you will not be leniently spared!"
Chu Yi did not defend himself, but bowed and said: "Thank you, Father!"
After Chu Yi left with a group of guards from the capital, the emperor returned to the study, and Eunuch Zhu also followed. The emperor looked at Eunuch Zhu and said, "If you have anything to say, just ask!"
Eunuch Zhu said softly: "My servant is puzzled by something. What happened this time is clearly not Prince Jing's fault, so why should the emperor punish him?"
