Xiao Chongjun was shocked when he heard the words "affiliate branch of the Xiao family". During the Eight Kings Rebellion, all his brothers died tragically, and in order to prevent future troubles, he drove out and killed all the descendants of the other seven queens.
But there is no guarantee that no fish will slip through the net.
Li Wei heard this but said: "Your Majesty, the regent's words are not credible. He is clearly fabricating an unfounded person to take the blame for him."
Xiao Chengyi sneered coldly and said: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Fengdu City to inquire and see if what I said is true?"
Li Wei said: "Your Majesty thinks we don't know that the people of Fengdu regard you as a god and obey your orders. I'm afraid you have already arranged everything when you came.
Even if we send someone to inquire, what we can find out must be your words, right?"
Xiao Chengyi really didn't expect that Li Wei actually had some abilities. He narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "You want to convict me without any evidence?"
Li Wei twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Who said it is without evidence?"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Chongjun and said: "Your Majesty, since the Regent mines ores in private, I think he must have elite weapons in his hands.
Just look at the weapons brought by the people brought by the regent, and you can tell whether the regent has any different intentions."
Xiao Chengyi was startled, and his face suddenly turned darker.
Xiao Chongjun looked at his slightly changed expression and said in a calm voice: "As Li Aiqing said, it is related to the reputation of the Prince Regent, and we must get to the bottom of it."
As he said that, he called out: "Come here, go check."
Lin Feng, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, accepted the order and immediately led his people to conduct an investigation.
Xiao Chengyi's eyes were heavy and he shook the hands hidden in his sleeves. It seemed that this time he had really met his opponent.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. After half a stick of incense, Lin Feng came back with some weapons. After presenting the things, Xiao Chongjun's expression changed.
He picked up a sword and waved his hand, and saw that the iron candlestick on the side was cut off.
All the officials in the palace were shocked and horrified.
Li Wei stammered: "Your Majesty, you saw, this... this sword cuts iron like clay, and is more powerful than anything in the palace. The people brought by the regent all use this kind of weapon."
, if he doesn’t have any objections, who can believe him?”
Xiao Chongjun looked at the sword in front of him and asked Xiao Chengyi: "How do you explain it?"
Xiao Chengyi frowned and said, "Uncle, you don't believe me?"
These weapons were prepared when he attacked the city that day to confuse Xiao Li. Who would have thought that they would become evidence against him.
Xiao Chongjun said: "How do you expect me to trust you? All the witnesses and physical evidence point to you, what else do you have to say?"
Xiao Chengyi sneered: "It turns out that Your Majesty has long suspected me. Since you can't trust me so much, why did you appoint me as regent? Are you giving me such power just to show the world?"
"You are presumptuous."
Xiao Chongjun was furious and slammed the table: "Yi'er, you disappoint me so much. I usually treat you well, but you actually... you actually..."
He was agitated and coughed violently.
The courtiers shouted worriedly: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Chongjun stretched out his hand to stop them. He felt sad, closed his eyes and said, "Here comes the Prince Regent who intends to rebel. He will be thrown into prison and will be punished."
