When Taifu Zhao saw that a good court hearing was disrupted by a group of common people, he said: "Your Highness, are you going to allow these unruly people to cause trouble?
My grandson is already dead, but they are making false accusations here. His Highness the Crown Prince did not arrest them but actually accepted their petition. Where do you want to put me?"
Yuan Chen turned around and cast a cold gaze on Zhao Taifu and said: "So many people have come to frame Zhao Jie, I dare to ask Zhao Taifu, why don't they frame others?
If your grandson is innocent, what do you have to fear? Don’t you, a grandfather, want to give your grandson his innocence?"
Taifu Zhao's expression changed as he was choked by him. He covered his chest and said, "His Royal Highness, what a good trick!"
He thought Yuan Chen really wouldn't intervene, but it turned out that he had already made preparations to use the people to save Mu Rufeng.
Once this matter comes to His Majesty, there will be no chance for the Zhao family to stand up.
"It was my great master who taught me well."
Yuan Chen smiled slightly and said: "Taifu Zhao is not feeling well. The case has been adjourned for retrial. Someone is here to send Taifu Zhao back to rest."
As he spoke, he said to Taifu Zhao: "Teacher, please take care of yourself."
Taifu Zhao gritted his teeth and held on to prevent himself from falling. He was helped out of Dali Temple by the guards. When he got on the carriage, he could no longer hold on and fell onto the carriage, unconscious.
In the palace, the royal study.
Yuan Chen presented the people's petition to Emperor Beichen, and then told the whole story of the incident.
After hearing this, Emperor Beichen looked a little ugly. He looked at the thick stack of paper, slapped the table and said angrily: "This is simply lawless!"
Although he knew that Zhao Jie acted in a romantic manner, he did not expect that he would kill so many people.
There were dozens of good girls who were humiliated by him, and many women couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide in shame and anger. However, none of these cases were brought before him, which shows that the Zhao family has reached the point where it can cover the sky with one hand.
situation.
It was his mistake, because he cared about Taifu Zhao's status and was too indulgent, which caused widespread resentment among the people.
He squinted his eyes, looked at Yuan Hao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Prince Ping, is this how you try the case?"
Yuan Hao lowered his head and said: "Father, please calm down. It was my son and minister who neglected me and almost caused a catastrophe."
Emperor Beichen sneered: "Is it an oversight, or is he colluding with the Zhao family? What benefits did that old man Zhao Linxuan promise you? Did he help you seize the throne and assassinate the prince?"
Yuan Hao was shocked and said hurriedly: "Father, my son and I have been wronged."
Emperor Beichen said angrily: "It's unfair, do you think I don't have an informant in the Zhao family? Do you think I don't know the good things you have done?
Do you know why I agreed to let you try this case? I just wanted to see if you would show your fox tail. Sure enough, the Mu family didn't agree to your threat, so you decided to hit the Zhao family. It's a pity.
Nothing but joy."
Yuan Hao shrank, his heart was already in chaos, he put his head on the ground and said: "I have been to Zhao's house, but I just paid homage to Zhao Jie."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Beichen threw the Zhenzhi on his body and said, "What is your identity? Your Majesty, Prince Ping, is going to pay homage to a notorious courtier. Aren't you afraid of losing the face of Prince Ping?"
Yuan Hao felt a pain in his back. He did not dare to raise his head and could only beg for mercy: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
"Are you aware of your mistake?"
Emperor Beichen snorted coldly and said, "I wish I could die soon."
Yuan Haocheng was frightened and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
Yuan Chen saw this and spoke: "Father, please don't wrongly accuse your second brother of something that has no basis or evidence.
