Yuan Hao nodded: "Yes, he is indeed a good son raised by Mu Aiqing. He is also very courageous."
Mu Zongping was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't know what His Majesty meant by these words.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Yuan Hao on the throne slap the dragon's case fiercely and angrily yelled: "Come here, tell me my decree to arrest Mu Xingze immediately, and everyone in the second room of the Mu family will be banned."
Mu Zongping was startled and fell to his knees on the ground, too frightened to speak.
Prince Yuan Qirui stood up and asked: "Father, I wonder what crime this young master of the Mu family has committed? Why did your Majesty want to arrest him?"
Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and snorted softly: "Is the prince feeling distressed? Yes, after all, you are the one who single-handedly promoted me. Why are you so eager to seek my throne?"
Yuan Qirui's expression changed drastically after hearing these words. He knelt down in a hurry and tried to keep calm: "Father, I don't know what I did wrong to make my father so angry."
"Ah."
Yuan Hao sneered: "Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you."
As he spoke, he threw a stack of letters and accounts on the throne at Yuan Chunrui's feet: "Take a good look at it for yourself to see if I have wronged you?"
Yuan Qirui picked up a letter on the ground, which turned out to be a letter between him and Yang Shijie, the magistrate of Xingping County.
There was a thump in his heart, and the hand holding the letter trembled. He dropped the letter and crawled a few steps forward on his knees: "Father, I have been wronged."
"Yeah?"
Yuan Hao's voice was flat and he couldn't calm down his anger: "You raised private soldiers, colluded with courtiers to leak examination questions, and you still dare to quibble when all kinds of evidence are in front of you. Do you want me to announce all the witnesses and testify against you personally? You
Will you admit it?"
Yuan Qinrui's face was pale, and his mind was in a mess. He didn't know why Yang Shijie's matter was exposed? The key was that he didn't hear a trace of it.
Yuan Hao knew the doubts in his heart. He snorted coldly and said: "Prince Jing, tell me! Tell all the civil and military officials what good deeds my prince has done?"
Yuan Shuo Lin responded with a yes, stood up and said to everyone: "Princess Jiahe was kidnapped, and the mastermind behind it was Tongshun Gambling House. In order to find the whereabouts of the princess, I sealed the gambling house in its secret room.
Li discovered the account book of the collusion between the gambling house and Han Xiang, and handed it to his father, but his father did not publicize it in order to stabilize the situation in the court.
Following my father's orders, I went out of the city to search for the princess's whereabouts. When I arrived in Xingping County, I found that the county magistrate Yang Shijie led a hundred elite soldiers to besiege the princess. I killed her alive, captured Yang Shijie, and raided his mansion. Unexpectedly, I
Evidence of collusion between Yang Shijie and the prince was found.
It turned out that over the years, the prince had used the terrain in Xingping County to secretly ask Yang Shijie to train troops for him. He had trained thousands of elite soldiers, and their armor and weapons were extremely sophisticated.
The king secretly brought Yang Shijie to the capital and handed him over to his father for interrogation. However, he did not expect that the prince did more than that. He actually bribed the examiner of the examination, leaked the examination questions, and supported his own people in order to cultivate his power.
, I don’t know that Taifu Sun, who was bribed by him, has already reported this matter to my father."
After hearing what King Jing said, all the officials were shocked, especially the courtiers who supported the prince's party, who were already trembling with fear, feeling that their lives were in danger.
The most surprised person was the prince. He suddenly raised his head and looked at his father, with disbelief on his face.
Yuan Hao said with a cold face: "Prince, you are still too young after all. This world is my world, and the courtiers are my courtiers. If you are so eager to take my place, then I will help you!"
"
Then he gave an order: "It is my decree that the prince intends to rebel and his moral conduct is too bad to be the crown prince. From now on, he will be deposed as prince and will be executed at the Meridian Gate three days later."
"His Majesty."
Prime Minister Han, who had been silent until now, stood up. He knelt on the ground and said, "It's none of the prince's business. The old minister did it in the name of the prince. The prince is innocent. Please consider the love between father and son."
Forgive the prince for punishing the old minister."
