Marry the God of War Lord after rebirth

Chapter 48

"Huh!"

Full of uproar.

Hearing that Chu Zhao revealed his secrets that had been hidden for many years in public, and seeing all the courtiers casting suspicious glances at him, Emperor Jianyuan couldn't care less about maintaining his majesty as an emperor, calmly and excitedly stepped out of the dragon chair. Standing up, he pointed at Chu Zhao angrily, "Shut up, shut up! You unfaithful bastard!"

Because of his excitement, Emperor Jianyuan's face flushed, and he scolded Chu Zhao very loudly, and his fierce reaction seemed to be trying to cover up.

When it came to this kind of matter, although the courtiers didn't dare to say anything, it didn't mean they didn't think too much in their hearts. People who were closer would still make eye contact with each other.

All this was seen by Emperor Jianyuan, and he became even more angry.

In contrast, Chu Zhao was still calm, and he continued to state, "Obviously impossible, the hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable, no matter how much you have covered up his ugliness over the years, it will not be offset."

"Oh, by the way, after so many years, the emperor probably forgot how you let Concubine Wen go to die for you, but it doesn't matter, I will remember for you."

"At that time, not long after the emperor ascended the throne, assassins came to the palace..."

"Nizi, stop talking nonsense!"

Before Chu Zhao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Jianyuan sharply, and his eyes were still fixed on Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao's eyes were full of sarcasm, looking at Emperor Jianyuan as if he was looking at a clown.

The reaction was so intense, and the courtiers present were not fools, not to mention that there were quite a few people who knew what happened back then, but no one dared to mention it. Emperor Jianyuan was undoubtedly proving his guilt.

Chu Zhao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled mockingly, "Okay, you didn't push his mother and concubine to block your assassins in front of Chu Qin, Chu Qin didn't kill so many innocent women, and he didn't hate you, let alone rebel. Anyway, you are the emperor and you have the final say."

"Even if this Great Chu died in your hands, no one would say anything. Isn't it just a change of dynasty? The people don't care whether the surname of the person sitting on the dragon chair is Chu or something else. After all, no one treats them as human beings. No one cares." live their lives!"

Chu Zhao spread his hands, speaking lightly.

The ministers were shocked again, they never expected that His Royal Highness Li Wang would dare to say such words as subjugation.

Someone stood up to persuade him to be cautious, but Chu Zhao only took a look at him before retreating silently.

And Emperor Jianyuan was already furious when he heard Chu Zhao say that the country was subjugated, his teeth were gnashing, his chest was heaving up and down, and his breathing was extremely heavy.

Emperor Jianyuan grasped the dragon chair tightly, and stared at Chu Zhao with tearful eyes, "You beast, you actually said such rebellious words, well, it's really good."

"Come on, put this unfilial bastard in prison for me, and punish him severely. I will make him pay for his bastard words!"

Emperor Jianyuan's eyes were red with anger, he was panting heavily, and his fingers were shaking.

Jin Yuwei quickly appeared, this time the Jin Yuwei who rushed in without any hesitation stepped forward and grabbed Chu Zhao's hand, and wanted to escort him away, not because they were brave, but because they were afraid of death.

Those who didn't stop King Li last time, none of them ended well.

In order to survive, they could only obey the emperor's orders.

Chu Zhao did not resist, but he was not taken out of the hall either, because someone stood up and interceded for him.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty," the one who stood up was Marquis Ding'an.

He went to the center of the main hall and knelt down, cupped his hands and said to Emperor Jianyuan: "Your Majesty, a box of weapons can't prove that His Royal Highness King An is rebellious, but His Royal Highness King Li is right in saying that those dozens of lives should be given to the common people." explain."

Someone took the lead, and naturally there were those who agreed. The two ministers, Qi and Sun, who were the first to declare that they wanted to thoroughly investigate Chu Qin, stood up immediately and said in unison: "Please give the people an explanation, Your Majesty."

The rest of the courtiers also knelt down and begged for orders.

Emperor Jianyuan's face was gloomy.

Marquis Ding'an spoke again, "Did the emperor forget the result of the rumors last time?"

These words angered Emperor Jianyuan, but they also touched the worries in his heart.

In other words, he was no longer as convinced that Chu Qin would rebel as he was before going to court.

Emperor Jianyuan didn't take the confession to the people seriously, and not many people died, and they were all women. At that time, just ask someone to give some silver taels and send them away.

On the contrary, Chu Qin's whereabouts are very important. Emperor Jianyuan couldn't help thinking, has his beloved son really regarded him as the enemy who killed his mother all these years?

After a while, Emperor Jianyuan asked the courtiers to stand up with a dejected look on his face, "My lords also know the character of King An. I really don't believe that he would do such a thing. It's good to check it out. If you find it out, give the people a piece of cake." Confess, and return his innocence."

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan is still a good father who firmly believes in his son, and he can speak and act.

The courtiers shouted that the emperor is wise, and then got up.

Emperor Jianyuan ordered Marquis Ding'an and Father Qi to be responsible for thoroughly investigating the matter of King An, and then dispersed the court.

As soon as he left the hall, Emperor Jianyuan immediately asked his servants to pass on the message to the person who was ordered to go to Prince An's Mansion yesterday.

Except for the servant who was killed, everyone else is alive. As for Emperor Tong Jianyuan's report, they have indeed said everything they should have said yesterday, including the box of weapons, but they focused on the bones and clothes and the reaction of the people.

Emperor Jianyuan naturally didn't think that Chu Qin, who had been living under his nose all the time and could only play with women's mud and couldn't support the wall, would have the intention of rebelling, so he didn't take the box of weapons seriously.

When he pushed Chu Qin's biological mother, Concubine Wen, out to protect him from assassins, Chu Qin was there all the time and saw it with his own eyes, but then Chu Qin had a high fever and forgot all about the past, and Emperor Jianyuan also tried After many times, I can be sure that he really forgot to rest assured.

Even in order to avoid future troubles, Emperor Jianyuan also got rid of all the concubine Wen's natal family. Emperor Jianyuan believed that as long as no one told Chu Qin the cause of Concubine Wen's death, as long as Chu Qin had no help from his family, there would be no threat. .

And he will never allow the scandal to come to light.

Of course, Emperor Jianyuan felt a little guilty in his heart, so he doted on Chu Qin very much. After knowing what Chu Qin had done, not only did he not stop him, but instead helped hide the aftermath, and passed many things Chu Qin did to Chu Zhao.

Emperor Jianyuan also personally taught Chu Qin, telling him to save face in front of others, and then marry a virtuous concubine, no matter what he is secretly, as long as others see him as a modest gentleman, dedicated and affectionate prince.

Anyway, with his father in charge of everything, Chu Qin can do anything, it doesn't matter if he is useless, or this is the best way.

Only Chu Qin is a waste, which is in the best interest of Emperor Jianyuan. After all, even if the waste remembers the past and knows the truth, what can he do?

For so many years, Chu Qin had pretended to be a good-for-nothing, and Emperor Jianyuan had become a habit of pampering him. It was because he really didn't take Chu Qin seriously, and almost forgot the reason for pampering Chu Qin.

Today, although Emperor Jianyuan was so angry at Chu Zhao's words and wished to behead him on the spot, Chu Zhao's words also reminded him, what if Chu Qin remembered the death of his mother and concubine?

Emperor Jianyuan suddenly panicked.

The people were summoned very quickly, these Golden Feather Guards were not well-informed, so they naturally didn't know what happened in the court hall today, Emperor Jianyuan asked them to mention what happened yesterday, and each of them honestly told them everything.

When he heard the gold, silver, jewelry and weapons in the secret room, Emperor Jianyuan's eyes darkened, and he waved his hand to let people go down.

After the people left, Emperor Jianyuan rubbed the center of his brows, and asked the servant next to him, "What do you think of this matter? Is King An really rebellious?"

This servant is also a person trusted by Emperor Jianyuan. After Yuanxi went to recuperate, he replaced Yuanxi and served Emperor Jianyuan personally.

The servant shook his head in fear, "Your Majesty, how do I know about such a big event, I just find it strange that His Royal Highness Wang An is so good, how can he disappear after a while?"

Emperor Jianyuan paused, yes, why did such a good person suddenly disappear, and there were so many guards with him.

Emperor Jianyuan recalled what Jin Yuwei said, that apart from the things found in the secret room, no useful clues were found in Prince An's Mansion, as if it had been cleaned up long ago.

Did King An do it himself, or did someone do it to frame him?

Chu Zhao's face immediately appeared in Emperor Jianyuan's mind, and how did Chu Zhao know about Concubine Wen back then?

Emperor Jianyuan ordered his servant, "Go, call the commander of Jin Yuwei, and the prince, I have something to ask him."

The Golden Feather Guards arrived first, and Emperor Jianyuan ordered directly, "Go secretly to find out the whereabouts of King An, and then find out what King An has done in private these years, and you must be fast."

"Yes!" The commander of Jin Yuwei bowed his hands and retreated, just in time to meet the prince who entered the door.

The crown prince was also there this morning, and he heard those words clearly. The crown prince was not surprised to see this commander at this moment. Their father and emperor are not big-minded, and they don't have much trust in people, let alone have done something wrong. .

It is inevitable that they are afraid.

The prince pursed his lips and smiled slightly, it was very good, suspicion was just what he wanted.

After entering the study, the crown prince saluted respectfully. Emperor Jianyuan called out, without going around the corner, and directly asked about the affairs of Prince An's mansion yesterday.

"The Lin family boy is really seriously injured?"

The prince nodded, "Yes, my son saw it with his own eyes. He was hung on an iron ring with injuries all over his body and was crawled over by mice. When he was found, he passed out and couldn't speak."

Emperor Jianyuan frowned, feeling that Chu Qin's actions were too disrespectful, and it's not right now to touch the Lin family, not to mention that the Lin family and his son will soon arrive in the capital.

He then asked: "Alright, why did your elder brother rob the Lin family boy and lock him in a secret room?"

The crown prince said: "I don't know the exact reason, I can only guess that maybe it has something to do with the third brother."

Mentioning Chu Zhao, Emperor Jianyuan was enraged almost instantly, and he slapped the table heavily, "It's this evil again, I shouldn't have kept him in the first place!"

The prince felt that Emperor Jianyuan really had murderous intentions, so he seized the opportunity to fight, "The third brother is very possessive and treats Lin Xingzhi as his own. Maybe he has some intentions to please the Lin family. In Pinqiu During the banquet, the elder brother said a few words about Lin Xingzhi, and the third younger brother took action on the spot."

"Perhaps the eldest brother was angry at the Pinqiu Banquet on the second day, and it was not easy to target the third younger brother. That's why he arrested Lin Xingzhi and wanted to vent his anger on him."

Emperor Jianyuan snorted coldly, "It's true that everything started because of this beast, it seems that it's really hard to keep him," said Emperor Jianyuan, and at the same time, he grasped the case with more force.

The prince didn't answer, but he was very happy with Emperor Jianyuan's reaction. It's hard to get rid of Chu Zhao, but it can't stop an emperor from killing him.

Emperor Jianyuan didn't say too much about Chu Zhao, but asked the prince what he thought of the box of weapons found in King An's secret room.

The prince did not mention this matter to the people, because he knew that Emperor Jianyuan didn't care. Emperor Jianyuan wanted to be famous, but he never put the lives and deaths of the people in his eyes.

He changed direction, starting from worrying about the safety of Emperor Jianyuan, "Father, you can't prove anything with just a box of weapons. On the contrary, the disappearance of elder brother is very strange. My son is worried that elder brother will be used by someone with a heart."

"How do you say this?" Emperor Jianyuan asked.

The prince explained: "Today the third younger brother mentioned the past in the court hall, but he was only two or three years old back then, and no one said so much after that, how did the third younger brother know?"

Emperor Jianyuan nodded. It was indeed strange for Chu Zhao to know about Concubine Wen, but the point was whether Chu Qin knew or not.

"My son is worried that someone will deceive the elder brother with the matter of the concubine Wen, and will make the elder brother do something irreversible impulsively. Father, the son proposes to strengthen the guards and inspections of the central and imperial palaces in the near future, so as not to have ulterior motives. Unruly people take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble."

"It would be bad if I disturbed the royal father."

Emperor Jianyuan listened to the prince's words very pleasantly. He not only found an excuse for King An, but also thought about his safety. After a little thought, Emperor Jianyuan agreed to strengthen the guards and patrol, and let the prince take charge.

The prince naturally wouldn't respond, and said a lot of words of comfort to Emperor Jianyuan before he was ready to resign.

But before leaving, the crown prince reminded Emperor Jianyuan one more thing, "Father, there is one more thing, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Emperor Jianyuan raised his head, "It's okay to be straightforward."

"My son is worried that someone will use the name of big brother to deceive others, and even pretend to be big brother to take the opportunity to enter the palace, which will be detrimental to father..."

Emperor Jianyuan understood, the most important thing is that this matter is not groundless, it happened in the time of the first emperor.

The first emperor's personal servant was replaced by an assassin, and the first emperor was almost killed by the assassin.

"Then arrest them all first, interrogate them clearly before reporting to me, and I will allow you to handle special matters."

"My son obeys the order," the prince bowed his head, a smile flashed across his eyes.

……

Coming out of the study, the prince turned around and went to the middle palace again.

Empress Chen was well-informed, she already knew what happened in the early court, and also guessed that the prince would come, so she directly ordered someone to bring food and have lunch with the prince.

The prince repeated what he and Emperor Jianyuan said to Empress Chen, and was praised by Empress Chen, "You are right, such a good opportunity, it is absolutely impossible to turn Chu Qin over, if you really catch him, hit harder It doesn't matter, after all, he likes to let mice eat people, and he is not one more at critical moments."

A person's flesh has been eaten up, what's the use of the remaining bones, no one will know that it is the emperor's favorite eldest son.

The prince nodded, expressing his understanding.

At the same time, he mentioned another idea of ​​his, "Mother's Queen, I want to spread the real reason for Concubine Wen's death in the name of Chu Zhao..."

"There's no need to do so," the prince was interrupted by Empress Chen before he could finish speaking.

"Chu Zhao is not Chu Qin. He is neither stupid nor concerned about your identity. If he refuses to admit it and find out that you did it, he will definitely make a big fuss. Not only will your father be dissatisfied, but he will It is also very likely that they will attack you in public."

"Although it won't kill you, it will make you lose face, so how can you be a prince?"

"It's my son who didn't think carefully," the prince said, but he was unwilling in his heart. He wanted to get rid of two people at once.

Empress Chen picked up a chopstick dish for the crown prince, and said, "I'm too impatient to eat hot tofu, don't worry, my son."

This damned person will die sooner or later, Empress Chen showed a meaningful smile.

……

All parties dispatched a thorough investigation into the disappearance of King An and the matter of neglecting human life. As a result, a few days passed without any progress, and there were no clues. King An was still missing. .

Just when everyone thought that things would continue to be deadlocked, a secret letter was sent to the palace and placed in front of Emperor Jianyuan.

At the same time, the Lin family father and son arrived in Beijing with the trafficked people on the same day.
