Then he suddenly thought of the silver that his boss had sent him a few days ago, and his face darkened. The silver was really hot to hold.
The second prince came today not only to talk about this matter, but also to intercede for the two brothers. The two princes were embarrassed, so he was the only one left alone. Outsiders would inevitably have bad speculations, and this was the time for him to reflect
A time for brotherly respect.
"Father!" The second prince looked at the emperor's face that suddenly darkened and hesitated in his heart.
I thought about it and decided not to mention it today. After my father forgives those two people in two days, nothing will happen to him. Besides, his eldest brother is kneeling outside the door and he doesn’t mention it. His father will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
He is cold.
"The eldest brother has been kneeling for two days. Why don't my father call the eldest brother in and ask what is going on so that he can atone for his sins. Besides, the third child has been detained in the mansion for several days. Since there is no fraud case,
Do you think you can spare your third brother?"
What the eldest prince said was unclear, and the second prince also wanted to find out the truth.
The emperor took a deep look at the second prince. Although the second prince also had small thoughts, he still cared about brotherhood.
"Hmph! Now for your sake, I will give him a chance to clarify the facts. De'an, go and call the eldest prince in."
De'an took the order and hurriedly ran out of the imperial study. He knew clearly in his heart. How could the emperor care about the second prince's face? Wasn't it because the eldest prince had been kneeling for two days in a row that he softened his heart?
When he went out, he glanced at Xiao Quanzi who was standing outside the imperial study room and scolded: "Follow me."
The eldest prince has been kneeling for so long. How can he support the eldest prince alone?
Xiao Quanzi was so busy that he jogged to keep up.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, your Majesty asked the old slave to invite you in!" After De'an finished speaking, he stepped forward to help the eldest prince.
Xiao Quanzi also stepped forward to help, but the eldest prince had been kneeling and had lost all feeling in his legs. Now when he was helped up, he felt a terrible pain in his knees and could not walk at all.
The eldest prince was carried into the study by De'an and Xiao Quanzi. As soon as he entered the study, he struggled and fell to the ground.
"Father, my son has done something wrong. All I have to do is punish him. Father, please don't get so angry. Otherwise, even if your son is dead, he will be blamed for it." The eldest prince's face was full of self-blame.
, looking at the emperor's eyes filled with tears, full of regret.
De'an stood beside the desk, lowered his head, and couldn't help but admire the eldest prince's good tricks in his heart. The emperor was already soft-hearted towards him, but if he did this again, after all, he was the eldest son who had loved him for so many years. How could the emperor not forgive him?
he?
The emperor saw that the eldest prince seemed to sincerely repent, and looked at him with admiration. He couldn't help but think of the eldest prince when he was a child. At that time, he had done something wrong and he looked at him like this, fearing that he would be punished.
punishment.
In fact, the ultimate purpose of the eldest prince doing these things is for himself. Although there are some unscrupulous means in the process, he still has filial piety. If he had not seen himself worrying about money all day long and wanted to share his worries, he would not have done such ridiculous things.
However, it shouldn't be wrong to harm two veterans of the court later. Wan Xuenian was so loyal to him, but now he didn't end well. How could the Wan clan be willing to do so?
Now Wan Xuenian's coffin is still parked in Wanfu's mourning hall. If Wan is not given an explanation, it will not only chill the heart of the old minister, but also have his spine stabbed by people all over the world.
"Now I will give you a chance to explain this matter in detail."
The second prince was given a seat and sat on an armchair beside him. He looked at the eldest prince kneeling in the lower room. But he was thinking in his heart that his father might have softened his heart a long time ago. He came at the right time and gave him the chance.
At the foot of the father's steps.
The eldest prince pondered for a moment, then glanced at the second prince, knowing that his father would not like him telling the truth. What is the purpose of the second prince's presence? Isn't it just to use the second prince's mouth to spread the so-called truth?
?
"I really don't know the origins of those moneymen. I also got the news from Guo Shi, saying that Mr. Wan and Mr. Song committed fraud. I had some troubles with the two adults before, so I wanted to ask Guo Shi to find out. As for the
Who directed Guo Shi, but Erchen did not know. In the subsequent confession, Guo Shi believed that he had something to do with Erchen, so he blamed all these things on Erchen."
The eldest prince had already thought of an excuse a long time ago, and now he spoke it confidently, as if it was true.
The emperor's face slightly condensed, it seemed that the boss was quite scheming! He glanced at the second son sitting on the seat, and saw surprise on his honest face, as if he didn't expect the truth to be like this.
In fact, the second prince's heart was in turmoil. He didn't expect that his eldest brother had already thought of a countermeasure. This was a complete defeat.
It seems that the eldest brother will not be severely punished this time. The second prince only feels that Wan Xuenian's death was really in vain. He is afraid that he will be charged with many crimes after his death. Even Song Shujing will not be spared. The two hundred thousand
Two pieces of silver entered the other courtyard of the two families and became a talisman for the two of them.
The emperor was thinking a lot. For the sake of the dignity of the royal family, what the boss said is the best suggestion. If everyone in the world knew that the eldest prince had framed an old minister in the court and acted recklessly, and the money
How could a prince with such bad moral character become one of the heirs of Dayan?
The emperor closed his eyes. He was not unmoved by Wan Xuenian's clear lesson from death. But since this matter was already wrong, he could only make it wrong.
People are always in control of themselves, and everyone has their own helplessness. Even if he is an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants.
"According to what you said, there is someone else behind Guo Shi?" The emperor seemed to be very surprised, his eyes were like sharp arrows, making the eldest prince tremble.
"I don't know yet, but Guo Shi was interrogated by Mr. Hu and has now been handed over to Dali Temple. I am just guessing, otherwise I can't explain why Guo Shi did what he did."
The eldest prince didn't panic at all about lying in front of the second prince, but when facing his father, he always felt a little guilty.
His father would not believe his words, but in order to make up for his reputation, even the loyal and loyal ministers in the past were abandoned. The eldest prince would not think that this was all for him, and the money played a big role.
"Huh! It's been two days, and there's still no movement from Kuang Zhaoying, and I haven't asked why yet." The emperor thought of Guo Shi, who was still imprisoned in Dali Temple, and felt a little unhappy.
Guo Shi can't stay!
The second prince spoke at the right time, "Father, that Guo Shi is really hateful. He was not instigated by anyone. My eldest brother was also wronged."
The second prince walked out of the palace gate, turned around and forgot about the majestic palace. His honest face suddenly darkened, and he sneered.
He could already guess the outcome of this matter. He was afraid that Guo Shi would die suddenly in prison in the next two days.
And Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing cannot be vindicated in the end. Instead of being charged with fraud in the imperial examination, they can also be charged with other crimes!
For example, plundering people's wealth and anointing, accepting bribes, and opening the door for businessmen who want to take advantage of loopholes.
