Luoyang Brocade Chapter 386: Suspicion (2)
The emperor's grandson who was kneeling in the palace remained unmoved, but King Yan, who was originally quite confident, secretly thought something was wrong.
He knows the emperor's temperament very well. When you trust someone, it's best to fool them. But once he falls out, he becomes completely ruthless and ruthless.
I don’t know what was written in this pile of letters, but it actually made the emperor shaken.
A shadow cast over King Yan's heart.
For the past six months, he has been recuperating in Prince Yan's Mansion. After the injury healed, he couldn't wait to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. Because the prince has been recuperating and cannot go to court to govern, the emperor's grandson is leading troops outside. The emperor naturally asked him to go to court to listen to politics, and he also took on the errands of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.
He quietly wooed officials and cultivated cronies.
Everything went well.
However, the emperor's grandson returned victoriously from putting down the rebellion, and immediately wiped out all the meager advantages he had gained. Yesterday's grand celebration banquet had already made him jealous. What's more, he didn't expect that the emperor's grandson would attack him hard in the court today!
"Father, I can swear to God that I have never had any correspondence with King An, let alone the mastermind of the assassination." King Yan opened his mouth with a look of indignation: "If I have half the If you tell a lie, I will be willing to suffer the death penalty of being cut into pieces with a thousand knives!"
The King of Yan's vow of poison made the emperor's expression soften: "I didn't say I didn't believe you, so why did I make such a poisonous oath?"
The hard work over the past few years has indeed paid off.
The emperor still trusted him and favored him.
King Yan was not relieved because of this. The emperor's grandson chose this time to launch an attack, and the attack was fierce, and the method could not be that simple.
Sure enough, the emperor's grandson said loudly: "Grandfather, my grandson read these letters and didn't believe them at first. However, King An's words were unequivocal and he insisted that King Yan was the mastermind. Right and wrong, you can't just believe anyone. One-sided words. Since King An has been brought back to the capital, why not summon King An to the palace and confront King Yan face to face."
This is not a bad idea.
At this point, I don’t care whether I am embarrassed or not.
The emperor's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "Okay, now let King Xuan'an go to the palace!"
……
Compared to the good-looking Prince Yan, Prince An's image is far worse. He is fat, has small eyes, and looks stupid.
For this reason, the emperor never liked this son very much. When King An came of age, he was sent to the feudal land.
After many years of not seeing each other, King An is now fatter than when he was young. He was escorted to the capital in a prison car all the way, so he was naturally clean and tidy. His eyes were blank and dull, with a look of panic and cowardice.
After entering the Jinluan Palace, King An walked hesitantly and slowly, and knelt down in front of the emperor: "I have met my father!"
The emperor snorted in disgust and said coldly: "I don't have a son like you! You intended to assassinate me and the prince, and then launched an army to rebel. I really didn't expect that you would have such courage and ambition. ”
King An trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Father, please listen to what I have to say. What I did was all instigated by King Yan! How could I have such courage alone? There are letters. As proof, please give me a clear warning! Please forgive me for the sake of the love between father and son!"
The head banging was loud and heavy, and soon there was blood on his forehead.
The emperor did not relent at all and sneered: "You have a good idea. With just these few letters, you want to pour dirty water on King Yan. Do you think that I am old and confused? You can Let you fool me?"
"This letter was obviously forged by someone who imitated King Yan's handwriting!"
Wang An immediately cried: "Now that we have reached this point, I no longer dare to deceive my father. These letters are indeed written by King Yan to me."
"My son has been away from the capital for so many years and has never returned to the capital. I am not familiar with King Yan's handwriting. Even if I want to find someone to imitate it, it is impossible! Father, please don't unjustly accuse my son and let him go. The real mastermind!"
Wang An cried heartbreakingly, with tears and runny nose streaming down his face, looking extremely embarrassed.
The King of Yan glared angrily: "King An, you assassinated my father and launched an army to rebel. These are unmistakable facts. Now that you are at the end of your rope, you have maliciously framed me and put the blame on me. What else can a person like you do? How can I have the face to meet my father? How can I face the officials of the imperial court? How can I live in this world with dignity!"
He raised his head and looked at the emperor again, with a generous and decisive look on his face: "Father, I walk and sit upright, and I have never done anything detrimental to my father. If my father doesn't believe it, I am willing to die to prove my will." !"
After saying that, he stood up and rushed towards the pillars of the Golden Palace.
If he hits his forehead this time, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die!
The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Here comes, stop King Yan quickly!"
The imperial guard guarding the palace had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stopped King Yan who was about to die to prove his innocence before his forehead hit the pillar.
The officials were so shocked by this series of events that they didn't know how to react.
The emperor's grandson looked coldly at King Yan's show of singing and reciting well, raised a sarcastic smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Since King Yan insists that he is innocent, there is no need to be so excited to death. You have to live. Let’s hear what King An has to say!”
King An used his sleeves to wipe his tears and nose carelessly, his eyes were red, and he looked at King Yan with hatred: "King Yan, please stop being pretentious here! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be ambitious. , let alone step by step to get to where we are today."
"Since I want to testify against you, the evidence certainly goes beyond these letters."
The King of Yan felt a thump in his heart ~IndoMTL.com~ The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, but there was no guilt on his face: "What evidence do you have? Just show it in front of my father and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
He has always acted cautiously and confidently without leaving any evidence.
These letters were clearly forged by King An. What other "evidence" can Wang An come up with?
Wang An vigorously kowtowed to the emperor several times, with a look of remorse on his face: "These letters were written to me by King Yan, and I wrote a reply to each one. With King Yan's cautious behavior, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago. Burn my reply letter so clean that even the dust cannot be found."
"However, I was extra cautious that day. In order to prevent any changes in the future, I wrote each reply twice. One letter was secretly sent to King Yan, and the other was sent to the mother-in-law. In hand."
"The mother-in-law hid these letters in a very secret place in the palace. This place is known only to the children. It is under the bed in the mother-in-law's bedroom, counting from the right to the left, under the fifth floor ."
"Please, my father, please send someone to the palace where my mother and concubine were alive now to get these letters. If you compare them, you will know that what I said is the truth!" (To be continued.)
