Identifying Prince Leng or the Crown Prince in Court

The next day in the morning, the prince went out to play:

"Father, the people who went to Yaocheng have returned, and they have also brought back the children who witnessed the murder!"

The emperor was silent after hearing this, and motioned for the child to be brought to the main hall.

There were about five children in their 13s and 14s, and a few middle-aged men.

The emperor looked at them and asked, "Where are you from?"

A middle-aged man clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, the common people are from Yaocheng."

The emperor was silent and looked at the children!

"what about you!"

Several children hurriedly answered: "We are from Yaocheng."

"I'm from Zhangcun."

"I'm from Liujiatun."

"I'm from the city!"

The children responded in a flurry of responses.

Because they were in such a hurry, they didn't find anyone to teach them the rules, so these children just said whatever they wanted.

The emperor nodded and did not care about their unreasonableness.

At this time, the emperor asked: "I am here to ask you, did you see when King Leng's enemies killed people in Yaocheng before this year?"

A child nodded: "We saw it, we all went to watch, beheaded directly, and killed several of them!"

"I saw it too, because one of them was my brother. I heard that he was going to kill him, and I wanted to see him for the last time, so I saw it with my own eyes!"

The emperor frowned and continued: "Can you tell me about the situation at that time!"

The children looked at each other and said nothing.

The middle-aged man next to him took the initiative and said: "Common people, let's talk about it, I was also there at the time!"

The emperor suddenly asked: "Who are you and why are you there?"

The man said: "The common man's name is Liu Da, and he is a corpse puller."

"If someone in the city dies and has no money to send it away, just give me a copper plate and I will pull the body down in a mass grave."

"That day, I heard that someone was going to kill someone. King Leng's people gave me a tael of silver and asked me to dispose of the body afterwards."

The emperor frowned and continued to ask: "Then tell me why King Leng wanted to kill them at that time!"

Liu Da scratched his head and said: "This little guy doesn't know. It seems that these people asked King Leng for money, but King Leng refused to admit it. The two sides quarreled, and those people scolded King Leng."

"King Leng had them beheaded."

The emperor's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and Liu Da recounted the entire scene without interrupting Liu Da.

After he finished speaking, the emperor's face became even more ugly, and people in the court also started talking.

After a while, the Minister of the Ministry of War came out and said: "Your Majesty, King Leng has robbed the people of their wealth and sacrificed their lives. He must be punished for his crime!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Leng is so ambitious that he must be severely punished!" The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel also followed suit and agreed.

When the two of them said this, the courtiers all echoed in agreement.

At this time, the prince said: "Father, King Leng has violated your trust and disregarded human life. This matter should be investigated thoroughly."

The emperor was also very angry. Just when he was about to be furious and punished, suddenly, one of the children asked curiously:

"Hey, you are so interesting. Why do you say you want everyone to kill you?"

As soon as the child spoke, everyone looked at the child.

The emperor frowned: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The child hurriedly pointed at the prince and said, "You are not asking us to identify King Leng. He is King Leng, but why are you talking so strangely?"

The ministers in charge were stunned.

Jun Wentian remained silent. At this time, he seemed to have caught something and hurriedly came out to ask:

"You just said that he is King Leng?"

Jun Wentian refers to the prince.
