Chapter 852 The terrible serial plan
"Bang......"
At the moment when the second prince was about to explode, Emperor Xia had already arrived in front of him. While leaning down, he slapped his shoulder with a slap like a huge mountain pressing down on him, almost knocking the second prince to pieces.
The second prince was shocked!
Only then did he remember Emperor Xia's martial arts prowess, and he immediately did not dare to act rashly!
"Second brother, please be patient!"
Emperor Xia's voice was filled with relief: "The rebels in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment are the ones who deserve to die. They will die if they die. In fact, it is not a big deal!"
"The question now is, did you have any difficulties in forging the imperial edict to kill people?"
"If so, just say it in front of your brother the prince, the imperial censor and me. If there are extenuating circumstances, I believe your brother the prince will understand and I will make the decision for you!"
"Say it!"
Emperor Xia's hint is very obvious!
He would never admit that he was the one who issued the secret edict, and the second prince must bear the blame.
Now, as long as the second prince can find a justifiable reason, he can smooth things over for him.
The second prince understood and felt relaxed.
The third prince and the fifth prince also understood it and said quickly: "Brother Second Prince, since my father has spoken to this extent, please stop hiding it and speak out your difficulties!"
"Get up and speak!"
Emperor Xia's tone became gentler and he retracted his palm.
"yes!"
The second prince stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The expression on Xia Tian's face was unpredictable: "Brother Er Wang, then tell me about your difficulties!"
"Listen alone!"
"good!"
The second prince began to perform: "Father, prince and brother, now that things have come to this, I will tell the truth!"
"explain!"
"As a prince, my father has taught us since childhood that we must be diligent and love the people, we must get along with the ministers of the court, we must be supported and loved by the ministers of the court, and we must be a respected prince and a revered prince!"
"So, after I arrive in the fiefdom, I will send some souvenirs to the ministers of the DPRK and China every year to express their feelings!"
Speaking of this, the second prince emphasized: "It's really just a souvenir, not a gift of gold, silver and jewelry!"
"Father, prince and brother, you must believe in me!"
Even the second prince himself didn’t believe this!
Xia Tian was noncommittal: "Then why did you go to the Criminal Department Prison to intercept and kill the major rebel families?"
"Because yesterday, the remnants of these rebels sent me a letter with flying knives, threatening... If I don't find a way to save their families, they will frame me in the execution ground... frame me for funding their rebellion.
!”
Emperor Xia and Xia Tian both looked at the second prince deeply, which meant a lot.
The second prince was shocked: "Brother Prince, Brother Wang, I was shocked and frightened, so I took the risk and drafted this secret decree privately, secretly entering the prison of the Criminal Department to kill those rebels!"
"Why......"
"Actually, Brother Wang, I am also very helpless!"
"I was impulsive!"
The second prince's acting skills are not weak, and Emperor Xia is also very cooperative, with a look of realization on his face: "So that's how it is!"
"The second child is confused!"
"Everyone can see that you led troops from thousands of miles away to quell the rebellion this time. You cannot be with them, so why are you afraid of their slander?"
"Have you ever heard of a saying in the wilderness, which is that impulse is the devil!"
"My son is wrong!"
The second prince looked remorseful: "I really know that I was wrong. If I encounter something like this in the future, I will confess it to my father and the prince's brother first. I will never be so impulsive!"
"Remember the lesson of this time!"
Emperor Xia and the second prince sang in harmony, vowing to make this matter a big deal and make it a trivial matter!
"Prince, what do you think?"
Xia Tian smiled!
The smile is a bit evil!
"Brother Er Wang, the gifts you gave to those wealthy families and ministers of the DPRK...are they really souvenirs?"
"yes!"
"Really no gold, silver or jewelry?"
"No!"
The second prince raised his hand: "Brother Wang, you can swear to God!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Tian took out another memorial from his sleeve: "Father, what is written in this memorial is exactly the gift list that Brother Er Wang gave to each family last year. The gift list not only contains gold and silver jewelry, but also many peerless treasures!"
Second Prince: "..."
The hearts of the third prince and the fifth prince sank!
Emperor Xia took a deep look at Xia Tian.
This guy is really prepared!
But how many things did the second brother give away?
Why did Xiaojiu keep holding on to her?
He reached out to take it, opened it, and his expression immediately turned gloomy: "In the 19th year of Kaiyuan of Great Xia, there are hundreds of top-quality pearls and thousands of taels of gold..."
Suddenly.
Emperor Xia's breathing was much thicker, and a vein popped out on his neck, as if he had a ferocious blue dragon tattooed on him!
He raised his head, stared at the second prince coldly and said, "This traitor of the Niu family dares to falsely accuse the second prince of giving such a heavy gift. He deserves to die!"
Cold sweat continued to break out on the forehead of the second prince. He felt the emperor's anger and said quickly: "Father, you are wise. These are all fake gifts. The Niu family has ulterior motives and deserves to be punished!"
"Brother Er Wang, is it really true?"
"certainly!"
The second prince couldn't stop sweating from his guilty conscience.
"Hehehe..."
Xia Tian smiled again!
"What are you laughing at, brother Prince?"
The second prince felt even more guilty and emphasized again: "Brother Wang has really been framed!"
Emperor Xia looked at Xia Tian's smile and felt bad again!
Xiao Jiu definitely has another trick up his sleeve!
The second child is in danger!
really.
I saw Xia Tian's sleeve move, and another memorial appeared in his hand: "Father, this is the list of things that the Imperial City Division copied from each house when they ransacked the house!"
"The gold, silver and jewelry given by the Second Prince Brother have been stored separately, and they can all be matched!"
The second prince was shocked!
How can you argue with this?
The corners of the third prince's and fifth prince's mouths twitched!
This is indeed a trap set by Death Laojiu.
A very deep hole.
"What an injustice!"
The look on the second prince's face became even more aggrieved: "The rebels wanted to frame me, so naturally they did it perfectly. This gold and silver jewelry is not unique to me, and my name is not engraved on it, so it cannot be considered evidence!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Brother Er Wang, the Imperial City Division has also copied many beauties from various families, and they are all Yue girls unique to your fiefdom!"
Speaking of which.
Xia Tian moved his sleeves again and reappeared the memorial in his hand: "Father, this is the confession of the Yue girls. It contains their detailed information. They were first taken into the palace by the two prince brothers, and then given as gifts to the wealthy families in the imperial capital.
people!"
"Brother Er Wang, what else do you have to say?"
The second prince was shocked and lost his mind. He suddenly didn't know how to lie: "This...this..."
All the witnesses and evidence are available!
Emperor Xia looked constipated!
Xiaojiu's plan was so intricate that there was no way for the second child to survive!
The second child, the third child, and the fifth child thought they were smart and asked for secret orders to kill people and silence them, but they fell into the trap of the prince, which even made him feel uncomfortable. How terrible!
These three idiots!
At this time.
The imperial censor said righteously: "Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive that the second prince bribed the ministers of the court, secretly drafted the imperial edict and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, privately killed the prisoner with ulterior motives, and violated the national law in every case. I believe that he should be arrested immediately
, handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial and punishment!”
"Your Majesty, please grant me permission!"
Chapter completed!
