Wei Zhongliang turned his head and looked at Fang Chen.
"Queen, I didn't lie. I did everything. I can explain it to you and everyone else."
"You're talking nonsense!" Fang Chen couldn't let Wei Zhongliang take the responsibility alone, he had to drag the eldest prince into the water.
"His Highness's master previously admitted that it was the eldest prince who did it! Do you doubt that my words are false?"
"How dare you question me!!"
Wei Zhongliang took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and continued to explain.
"There is a murderer who is an eighth-grade expert in our Prime Minister's Palace. His name is Zhang Yang. He is a figure in the world. He was recruited to work for me three years ago."
"I instigated this person and planned to assassinate His Highness the Second. Zhang Yang has a good relationship with the people on Changyun Island and knows His Highness's master Lin Changyun, so the two sides joined forces to assassinate His Highness the Second."
"His Highness indeed had no knowledge of this matter. I did this because I have always supported His Highness and did not want His Highness to go to the border and lose his position as Crown Prince. Therefore, I wanted to kill His Second Highness to pave the way for His Highness to become the Crown Prince."
Since Wei Zhongliang has to bear everything, he must make everything reasonable.
But such rhetoric cannot deceive smart people.
Many people feel that what happened this time is that the eldest prince abandoned his car to save the handsome man!
The eldest prince felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw his father taking responsibility for him.
But he thought about it and followed his father's words.
"A month ago, Master came to me and asked me to do something unfavorable to His Highness. I refused at the time. Two days ago, Master came to me and said that through the military parade, the Royal Guards were short of supply, and we could deal with the Second Highness.
Your Highness, I couldn't help but fall out with Master at that time, and I warned Master not to do such a thing."
"I admit that I want to be the prince, but I will never do anything to harm my second brother! I never thought that Master would join forces with the Prime Minister and kill his second brother behind my back. I am really sad!"
"The two guards in my house are Master's disciples and my two senior brothers. I didn't expect that they would also be involved."
"Everything was done behind my back and I had no idea!"
I have to say that the eldest prince's acting skills are really great.
With both voice and emotion.
Tears streamed down my face, and I was filled with grief.
Many civil and military officials present, as well as major generals, already believed it.
There is no contradiction between the two people's explanations.
Moreover, the eldest prince has always shown great support among the people, and on many important occasions, he will show his love for the second prince.
Not to mention, last time the second prince said that he had planned the black powder, and the prime minister exposed the second prince's lie to the court. At that time, His Majesty wanted to convict the second prince, but the eldest prince knelt down and begged to protect the second prince.
There are many such scenes, so people who don't know the truth know that the two princes have a very good relationship.
Some people know that there are many doubts in it, but they dare not speak out easily.
You must not talk nonsense at this time, otherwise you will lose your head.
Everyone is waiting for the emperor's decision.
Lu Yuanzhang finally spoke.
"This matter has been investigated clearly. It was completely done by the Prime Minister. His Highness indeed had no knowledge of it. Although His Highness's master was involved, those who do not know are not guilty."
"Come here, put the Prime Minister into the sky prison, seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion, confiscate all the Prime Minister's property, and put everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion into the sky prison!"
"The Queen of Autumn asks to behead!"
Lu Yuanzhang made a trial and executed the prime minister and his family.
All family property was confiscated and transferred to the national treasury.
Of course, Lu Yuanzhang and Wei Zhongliang had already discussed it, and Wei Zhongliang and his family would not die.
When the time comes, the person will be replaced secretly.
The civil and military officials did not have any opinions, and the generals did not say much.
Everyone knows that if the overall situation is taken into consideration, this is the best outcome!
Fang Chen was surprised. Is this the end?
Just a few words and that's it?
Fang Chen's previous plan was not like this!
Just killing a prime minister is definitely not enough.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. I have objections to Your Majesty's decision. I think His Majesty is lying!"
Fang Chen used it to make trouble.
"Mother, I am really unjust!" The eldest prince was still defending.
Fang Chen shouted angrily: "Don't call me Queen, you are not my son! You are the murderer of my son!!"
Everyone knows that the eldest prince is not the son of Long Qingxue, but the son of the emperor's late wife Yun Caidie.
The two princes have the same father and mother.
Lu Yuanzhang was surprised to hear that the queen was still pestering her.
The emperor and the queen had a very good relationship. Many times, Long Qingxue was more resourceful than Lu Yuanzhang. Lu Yuanzhang could not solve many things because of Long Qingxue's advice.
What happened to Long Qingxue today?
Previously, he single-handedly went to the military parade and made a big fuss, causing the matter to get out of hand, so all civil and military officials and major generals came here to deal with the matter.
Now, Lu Yuanzhang has put the case on trial, asking the Prime Minister to bear everything, and asking others not to say anything or interfere.
And every word the Queen says may make this matter even bigger, making it difficult to deal with later.
However, the queen's face was full of murderous intent, and she obviously wanted to put the eldest prince to death!
Lu Yuanzhang's heart was full of uneasiness.
Could it be that the queen could not see the current situation clearly? Or was it because of her son that she completely lost her mind?
So, Lu Yuanzhang said: "Queen, everyone is deeply saddened by the death of Your Highness, but the matter has been investigated clearly and there is no need to discuss it further!"
Lu Yuanzhang bit the last few words very hard, and the meaning was very clear. Queen, please stop talking. If this matter is not handled well, the royal family will completely lose its prestige!
Lu Yuanzhang wants to wake up the queen.
Fang Chen naturally understood Lu Yuanzhang's intention. Lu Yuanzhang asked him not to say it, but he insisted on saying it.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly! It is not only because of the death of my son, but also related to the dignity of the royal family!"
"I have a way to prove that His Highness is lying!"
"Prove he is the murderer!"
Lu Yuanzhang was shocked!
He was confused, could the Queen really not understand?
"Queen, since you suspect His Highness, then lock Him up first and then investigate in detail."
Lu Yuanzhang took a step back to give the queen enough face.
But Fang Chen would not give him face.
"Your Majesty, as you all know, I am the master of Qingling Palace. We have a very powerful elixir in Qingling Palace that can make people speak the truth."
"Since Your Highness believes that you are innocent, please take the mantra pill from Qingling Palace, and then the truth will be revealed."
As soon as these words fell.
Lu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with anger.
The eldest prince's heart also hit rock bottom.
Wei Zhongliang's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Civil and military officials and major generals still dared not say anything.
"The Queen has such a powerful elixir, why didn't I know about it?"
"Queen, please think twice before doing anything."
Lu Yuanzhang wants to wake up the queen again.
The Queen cannot be allowed to make any further mistakes.
Otherwise, what happens next will affect the whole body and be out of control.
But the queen still went her own way.
"The alchemy technique of Qingling Palace is endlessly changing. There are many kinds of elixirs. Your Majesty cannot possibly know that of all the elixirs, the Mantra Pill is just one of them. I have one in my body."
