Chapter 1180 : The jade seal is fake and was exposed in public
When the second prince heard this, he became anxious.
If the empress reverses the verdict, he will have no chance.
"Father, many years have passed since the witchcraft case. I heard that it was my father who personally interrogated and concluded the case." The second prince stepped forward and said worriedly: "Father has an eye as bright as a torch and a heart as careful as hair. Naturally, he will not make mistakes in his trial.
! A thorough re-investigation will definitely disgrace my father’s reputation, so I ask my father to take back my order!”
Prince Rong immediately said: "What the second prince said is absolutely true! How can there be any mistake in the case that the emperor personally reviewed? I know that the emperor cares about the third prince's feelings and loves his son very much. It is pitiful that the emperor loves his son with all his heart, but the third prince does not
You may not be able to understand it, otherwise, you will definitely not force the emperor to re-investigate the witchcraft case!"
If the second prince was applying eye drops to Xuanyuan Jin in a roundabout way, then Prince Rong was applying eye drops to Xuanyuan Jin openly.
Moreover, the word "force" was also used, for fear that Emperor Tianxi would not be dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Jin's son as he expected.
As soon as Prince Rong finished speaking, several courtiers stood up and objected to the re-investigation of the witchcraft case.
"Your Majesty, the evidence of the witchcraft case is conclusive. Moreover, many years have passed and most of the people involved in the case have died. Sun Shoufu has already committed suicide in fear of the crime. I think there is no need for a thorough investigation."
"Your Majesty, I second my opinion. The facts of the witchcraft case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. A re-investigation will only bring disgrace to the Emperor's reputation. There is no other benefit. Please withdraw the order."
"Your Majesty, I second your proposal..."
The courtiers stood up one by one, while Tangbao watched quietly not far away.
Originally, such important court matters would not be discussed in a place like this.
Who made Prince Rong lose his temper?
Sugar Baby suddenly felt a little grateful to Prince Rong.
If Prince Rong had not used his identity as the beautiful aunt to attack his little brother, it would have taken a lot of effort to re-investigate the witchcraft case.
Now, Prince Rong's operation has fulfilled the little brother's wish.
"Oh! Prince Rong is such a good man." Tangbao sighed.
Xia Siya: "..."
I don’t understand what sugar baby means.
In her opinion, the people in Prince Rong's Mansion are all bad.
"Su Tang, are you okay?" Princess Linghua said, reaching out and touching Tang Bao's forehead.
No fever!
Sugar baby: "..."
Xuanyuan Jin also quietly looked at the courtiers who spoke loudly, but he was no longer as angry as before.
In his heart, he was secretly calculating the list that Sugar Baby would give him that day.
Several names on that list matched up with these people.
However, the official positions of these people are not high.
Those in high positions did not reveal anything.
Xuanyuan Jin remained calm and lowered his eyes.
He was not worried that Emperor Tianxi would be persuaded to take back his life.
He believed that even his father probably did not believe in his heart that his mother would harm him.
Tangbao is right, the things that have been stuck in his heart for many years may have been a thorn in his father's heart.
Now, re-investigating the witchcraft case may be what my father has in mind!
There are those who oppose re-examination, and naturally there are those who support re-examination.
For example, Yang Wei from General Mansion.
"The emperor is wise, and the empress has always been virtuous. She will definitely not do anything to cause trouble in the palace. The witchcraft case back then must have some hidden agenda!" Yang Wu knelt on the ground and said loudly with red eyes.
He was a dignified general. When he heard the emperor's order to re-investigate the witchcraft case, he was so excited that he almost cried.
No matter what, you can't let anyone destroy it.
Yang Wu suddenly regretted it very much.
When he started the fight just now, he should have taken the opportunity to punch King Rong a few more times!
Emperor Tianxi's eyes swept across the courtiers kneeling on the ground one by one.
"My decision has been made, dear friends, there is no need to say more!" Emperor Tianxi said with a majestic voice, and his tone did not allow for words!
The Emperor's golden words, since he said this, naturally he will not change it.
The second prince knew clearly that Emperor Tianxi was protecting Xuanyuan Jin by doing this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He had no choice but to stand up and return to his seat.
Princess Mingli pointedly said: "The second prince doesn't have to look sad. With me here, I will definitely help the second prince to realize his wishes!"
The second prince was horrified.
"You, what did you say?" The second prince asked with some stuttering: "What did I, the prince, think about?"
Princess Mingli was very charming. She glanced at the Second Prince and said in a deliberately long tone, "Whatever the Second Prince thinks, I will think."
Second Prince: "..."
His face changed.
Naturally, he wanted to ascend the throne and rule the world.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't thought about anything," the second prince said without confidence.
Princess Mingli secretly despised the second prince.
With this little concentration, still thinking about competing for the throne is really a daydream!
Princess Mingli thought this in her heart, but she gave the second prince a wink again. It seemed casual, but she said meaningfully: "I, the majestic princess of Western Qin, was once the imperial concubine by default. Is it possible that in your day, Yan?
Can I only be a princess?"
The second prince's heart beat wildly several times.
His mind was rapidly calculating the meaning of Princess Mingli's words.
Obviously, Princess Mingli is not willing to be the prince's concubine, and she wants the position of Queen Dayan.
If there is help from Western Qin, I can do it even if I don't know...
The second prince was moved!
Then, the look in Princess Mingli's eyes also changed.
Princess Mingli understood what the second prince was thinking when she saw his appearance.
I couldn't help but despise the second prince again.
Emperor Tianxi once again wanted to grant the Sky-shattering Bow to Xuanyuan Jin, but was once again opposed by Prince Rong.
"Your Majesty, the witchcraft case has not been re-examined, and the result is unknown. I think it is not appropriate to award the Sky-shattering Bow to the third prince for the time being." Prince Rong said.
King Cheng'en took a handful of tooth decay and couldn't bear it anymore.
"What's the matter with you?" King Cheng'en pointed at Prince Rong and said, "You have repeatedly opposed the emperor's decisions and actions. Do you think the emperor should be in charge of you?"
As soon as King Cheng'en finished speaking, Prince Rong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty clearly shows me, but I am frightened! I never meant this!" Prince Rong said loudly: "I am loyal to the Emperor, and heaven and earth can learn from it! The reason why I am like this is because the Sky-shattering Bow has always been owned by emperors of all dynasties.
Besides the jade seal, it is the most important token of the emperor——"
When Prince Rong said this, he suddenly sighed and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me straight away. I overheard someone rumoring that the jade seal used by the Emperor is fake..."
Before Prince Rong could say anything, exclamations of exclamation began one after another.
The expressions of many ministers changed.
Emperor Tianxi's expression also changed.
You know, the jade seal is a symbol of imperial power.
If the jade seal is fake, can the throne still be secure?
It has to be said that Emperor Tianxi did not expect that the matter of the jade seal would be exposed from Prince Rong’s mouth!
