As these evidences were presented, discussions began to rage in the court.
Even the neutral officials who had always thought that Xiao Yu could not do this could not sit still. Now this can be said to be irrefutable evidence.
Some officials also dug out some special totems from the Qishan Kingdom and compared them with the ring on Xiao Yu's hand.
There is no need to put them together, anyone with a sharp eye can tell at a glance that they are the same thing.
This totem has the intention of forming an alliance with the royal family of Qishan Kingdom. Xiao Yu actually formed an alliance with the royal family of Qishan Kingdom?!
Not to mention that after comparison of the letters exchanged, they were exactly the same as Xiao Yu's handwriting.
There were also several Xizuo from Qishan Kingdom who personally identified him, including the confessions of bandits from Jizong Mountain, saying that they were all former soldiers of Xiao Yu.
When Xiao Yu failed in his rebellion in Dengzhou, although he took the initiative to hand over the military power of Dengzhou, he was still unwilling to do so, so he arranged them in the hinterland of Jizong Mountain in order to continue to maintain contact with the Qishan Kingdom.
At the same time, he was training his troops deep in the mountains.
Only a few people had the nerve to talk about military training and conspiracy, which made Xie Songhua want to laugh.
Could it be that just a few thousand people could overthrow the grand opening?
This matter is ridiculous no matter how you look at it, but now that all the evidence is in front of you, it is impossible to refute it.
Xie Songhua couldn't help but look at the man sitting over there. He still had no expression on his face, as if he didn't care about what everyone was pointing out at the moment.
The people in the hall were beginning to feel uncertain in this situation. If he was really caught like this, could King Chen still be so calm?
One piece of evidence was read out by the officials handling the case, and no one dared to speak. They just looked at Emperor Yufeng and Xiao Yu who were sitting opposite each other.
After reading and displaying all the evidence, almost an hour passed.
Mr. Zhong couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say about these accusations against you?"
This cautious tone, at such a nervous time, made Xie Songhua inexplicably feel a little funny.
Reminds me of a joke in a TV series adapted from the Internet: Who is kneeling and why are you suing me?
However, Xiao Yu did not have such an arrogant attitude. He just said his first words since his appearance calmly, "I have nothing to say, these are not facts."
The Minister of Dali Temple secretly glanced at Emperor Yufeng over there, feeling that his back was soaked, but he had to ask carefully again: "Then...does the prince have any evidence to prove that these are all
Is it a frame-up against the prince?"
Xiao Yu's eyes fell on him, and he said very seriously and calmly: "No."
this……
Even though everyone present was speechless due to the low pressure at this moment, they couldn't help but be shocked by the words Xiao Yu.
Even if it is known that Emperor Yufeng has always defended Xiao Yu, even if many people speculate that Emperor Yufeng may still protect Xiao Yu in the end, but...
But at least let’s make a show of it and come up with some rebuttal evidence in a decent way, right?
It’s really not true. It’s appropriate to scream twice that I’m wronged. With such an attitude, even Emperor Yufeng would find it difficult to protect him!
Everyone knows that although Xiao Yu lived in Dali Temple during this period, his Zhenfu Division was not affected at all. Huang Zicheng even appeared in front of everyone with his royal guards from time to time!
Thinking of this, some people wondered why in such a situation today, none of the Jin Yiwei were seen.
With their pervasive habits, it is impossible that no strong rebuttal evidence could be found for their master.
Unexpectedly, the first person who couldn't help it was Mrs. Huayang. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Xiao Yu and said: "Xiao Yu! Don't be so lawless just relying on His Majesty's trust in you!
Today is a joint trial of three departments, and everyone in the world is watching. All the evidence at the moment shows that you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. In view of your identity, and also because of His Majesty’s trust in you, you are given the opportunity to speak for yourself.
, to prove that he has never colluded with the Qishan Kingdom.
If you have such an attitude, even if your majesty favors you, you will not be able to violate my laws of Daqi! Daqi is the Daqi of my people in the world!"
These words were resonant, and at the same time they gave some confidence to some people who had never dared to speak out.
Immediately, court officials came out to denounce Xiao Yu's crimes and asked Emperor Yufeng to give a fair verdict.
After the first one, there was a second one, and then one after another a bunch of people came forward.
Xie Songhua quietly looked at these people and found that unlike the group of petty officials who stood up in the court last time, many of the people who stood up this time were important officials of the court.
Take a closer look...
These people seem to be the Third Prince’s people?
She subconsciously looked at Han Jian above, but he kept looking at his nose and heart, as if his soul was not here at all.
Han Jian formed an alliance with the third prince?
In fact, the prince was puzzled by this. When he saw several supporters of the third prince standing up, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Jizai who was standing aside.
The other party was sitting there in a daze, but the prince, who knew him well, could still tell that he had changed his strategy.
Because of Emperor Yufeng's attitude towards the Zhao family and Xie family, as well as Mrs. Huayang's sudden siding with him, he began to plan to take risks and stand on the opposite side of Xiao Yu.
Seeing the current situation, the prince's heart began to sink involuntarily.
What happened to Zhao Qingshan forced the Zhao family and him to keep a low profile.
Now that King Chen's matter has reached this stage, Jin Yiwei and King Chen have not yet come out with any strong rebuttal evidence.
As Mrs. Huayang said, no matter how much Emperor Yufeng trusted Xiao Yu, he could not risk the disapproval of the world and just forcefully excuse him.
Now that the Third Prince's people have stepped forward to help put pressure on him, I'm afraid that Uncle Wang will really capsize this time.
If something happens to King Chen, he has a lot of resources at his disposal. Now he doesn't dare to act rashly because of Zhao Qingshan's matter, but the third prince has benefited from Mrs. Huayang...
No, there is also Han Jian. Who doesn't know that Han Jian and Xiao Yu are mortal enemies.
After this incident, Mrs. Huayang and Han Jian will definitely help the third prince get the resources that originally belonged to Xiao Yu.
One goes down and the other goes up...
The prince couldn't help but shuddered, and his breathing became a little rapid. Could it be that he would stumble here and lose to the third child like this?
No! He is the crown prince of the East Palace and the legitimate son of the Middle Palace. He cannot lose!
Otherwise, sooner or later, Xiao Jizai will be kicked out of this position. Since ancient times, no deposed prince will have a good ending.
He gritted his teeth and stood up, "Father, Uncle Wang has been through life and death for so many years, guarding my territory in Daqi, and has made great contributions. This time on the trip to Dengzhou, something happened suddenly. It was not Uncle Wang's intention. My son.
I think this is clearly a conspiracy laid against Uncle Wang.
The Qishan Kingdom is a small country, and it is only an island country. Even the total number of islanders on the island is less than the population of my province. Only when the people in power have lost their minds will such an island country challenge a powerful country like Qishan.
The Great Nation of Dakai!”
What he said also aroused the echo of many people.
This is why many people currently believe that this matter cannot be true.
only……
There is no evidence!
The third prince also stood up slowly, but with a somewhat troubled look on his face, he looked at Xiao Yu, "Uncle Wang, no one believes that you would do such a thing, but now all the evidence is there.
Don't you have even one word of defense here?
Or do you yourself agree with the evidence?"
He paused as he spoke, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yu's thumb, "At least, Uncle Wang should be able to tell us where this thumb came from, right? Uncle Wang once managed the Dengzhou Guard, and he also knew something about the Qishan Kingdom.
Yes, he must know the totem of Qishan Kingdom better than the rest of us, so why does Uncle Wang wear such a ring on his finger?"
