Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth confrontation (two)
The Third Prince's Mansion is quite close to the Imperial Palace.
Soon, Mr. Ding, who suffered serious head injuries, was carried into the Yiqing Hall.
This Mr. Ding is only fifteen years old, and he looks quite childish. He has a fairly handsome face, which is white and without any blood. I don’t know how serious the injury is on his forehead. It is wrapped in layers of thick gauze, and he can barely reveal his face.
eyes.
He looked pitiful and embarrassed.
Ding Chuang struggled to get up, but after a slight movement, he became dizzy and fell back heavily.
Emperor Jianwen frowned and said calmly: "You were seriously injured and unable to salute, so you lay down and talked. I forgive you!"
Ding Chuang looked pale and thanked him intermittently: "Thank you, thank you for your grace."
Emperor Jianwen asked coldly: "I ask you, is what is written in this letter true?"
Ding Chuang smiled sadly: "To return to the emperor, this letter was written by my father two months ago. My father seemed to know that there would be such a disaster. He wrote this letter just to save the lives of our mother and son."
"The letter was sealed and handed to me. My father told me that no one, not even my mother, would know about this letter until it was a life-or-death situation. I have never read this letter."
"My father was imprisoned in the Ministry of War for a whole month, and I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. I went to the Ministry of War prison to visit him several times, but I was stopped every time. No one dared to take the money if they wanted to use it."
"I thought this was the critical moment of life and death that my father said. I knew that I was of low status and was not qualified to meet the emperor. I heard that His Highness the Third Prince was kind-hearted, so I mustered up the courage to go to the Third Prince's Mansion."
"Fortunately, Your Highness is willing to see me. I am willing to die as a remonstrance. All I ask is that Your Highness will present this letter from my father to the emperor and restore my father's innocence. Even if I die, it will be worth it."
Ding Chuang was extremely weak. After saying this long speech, his face turned pale and he was almost out of breath.
Emperor Jianwen frowned even more tightly.
When Eunuch Lu saw this, he immediately called the imperial doctor.
Sheng Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked increasingly ugly.
This Ding Chuang kept claiming that he had never read the contents of the letter, and that he wanted to clear the name of Director Ding... This was actually the case. That night, he secretly ordered someone to lure away Director Ding and others who were guarding the warehouse, and he secretly
Sneak into the warehouse and remove three crossbows.
No matter what I have done, I will inevitably feel guilty. When I try to defend myself, I lose a little bit of confidence.
What's more, Emperor Jianwen didn't even listen to his explanation.
The imperial doctor came quickly. After a quick pulse diagnosis, he stuffed two ginseng pills into Ding Chuang's mouth. Then he handed over his hand and reported: "Your Majesty, this young master has been hit hard on his forehead. I'm afraid his brain has been affected. He feels so dizzy and painful."
, I don’t know how long it will last. I don’t have any good ideas. It’s better to rest!”
How can I resist carrying it around like this?
However, the imperial physician would never dare to say this last sentence.
Emperor Jianwen's expression was solemn and he didn't say a word. The imperial doctor did not dare to talk any more and quickly withdrew.
…
After a while, the imperial doctor was summoned again.
The people brought into the palace this time were even worse.
There was not a single piece of intact flesh on his body, and there were scars left everywhere after being tortured. Several wounds were still dripping with blood. He looked pitiful and terrifying at the same time.
The second prince stepped in first, and then several guards used wooden boards to carry the body and dying Master Ding into the Yiqing Hall. The father and son happened to lie side by side.
Ding Chuang sadly called out "Father" and burst into tears.
Chief Ding was still breathing. He was carried into the palace after such a tossing, and almost died. His lips moved, and he barely squeezed out a few words: "Wei, Wei, I have seen you, I have met the emperor."
Chief Ding only holds a sixth-grade official position and is not even qualified to attend the Great Court Meeting. This is his first time entering the Yiqing Palace and also his first time to meet a saint.
Ding Chuang struggled to turn sideways and said while crying: "Father, my son has listened to your instructions and presented the secret letter you gave me to His Highness the Third Prince...Father, the Emperor will never let you suffer injustice in vain.
!”
"Hurry up and tell the Emperor Ming the truth about the matter! You must not be coerced by others and gain an undeserved reputation!"
The eyes of father and son met briefly in the air.
At that moment, no one else could know what the father and son were thinking. Only the father and son knew it.
Director Ding's lips trembled several times, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Eunuch Lu had no choice but to call the imperial doctor again.
The imperial doctor was startled by Chief Ding's bruises all over his body. He reflexively checked Chief Ding's breathing, and then stuffed several of the best ginseng pills specially prepared by the Imperial Hospital into Chief Ding's mouth.
After Mr. Ding took the ginseng pills, he finally felt relieved. However, he still had no strength to speak for the moment.
Moving into the Qing Palace, Ding Chuang's cries echoed endlessly.
…
Emperor Jianwen's brows almost knitted into knots, and he looked at the fourth prince coldly: "You are interrogating officials in the Ministry of War like this?"
The use of torture during interrogation is actually a common thing. What's more, the fourth prince has already made up his mind to let Master Ding bear such a big blame, so he will naturally be tortured to death.
Chief Ding was allowed to breathe just so he could be dragged to the execution ground and beheaded in the future.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and reached the point of a confrontation in front of the saint.
Director Ding's pitiful look looks like he was "beaten into submission". Coupled with that damn secret letter, he is really full of words and can't explain clearly.
The fourth prince was filled with annoyance, and had no choice but to step forward to plead guilty: "My son was anxious and wanted to interrogate the truth as soon as possible, so his actions were unavoidably harsh. Please forgive me, Father..."
There was a loud bang!
A paperweight hit the fourth prince's feet heavily, and debris flew everywhere.
The furious Emperor Jianwen stood up, his eyes full of anger: "I asked you to find out the truth, not to frame you at will and find someone to blame!"
The fourth prince's face turned pale, and he knelt down to defend: "I would never dare! Please tell me from my father! My methods are a little too eager, but not enough. I will never frame you arbitrarily, let alone find someone to blame!"
Sheng Xuan, who had been kneeling and not getting up, suddenly felt cold in his heart.
Survive by docking your tail...
The fourth prince has already said such words as "I won't find anyone to blame". It is obvious that he has seen that the situation is not good and is planning to give up his arm...
How could he blindly follow such a cruel and cold-hearted person in the first place?
Sheng Hong obviously heard the implication of the fourth prince's words, a sneer flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, raised his hands and said: "Father, Master Ding is no longer able to speak, why not let me ask questions and ask Master Ding to nod or shake his head.
"
The fourth prince was shocked and said angrily without thinking: "Sheng Hong! You are taking the opportunity to frame me!"
Sheng Hong sneered and retorted: "How dare I compete with the Four Emperors!"
