   Chapter 599 Confession (1)

What?

  Li Chang?

   What are you kidding? !

   Emperor Yongjia, who had not slept well all night, summoned Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment into the palace early in the morning. Yao Shangshu stayed up all night in the punishment department, entered the palace with red eyes, and respectfully presented Jiang's confession.

  Emperor Yongjia quickly opened the dossier, glanced over, saw Li Chang's name, and was immediately furious. Huo Ran got up and slammed the file in his hand to the ground, with a gloomy and stern tone: "Yao Shangshu! Is this the result of your interrogation after staying up all night?"

  Emperor Yongjia treated his generals very highly. Not so close to the civil servants, but rarely angry at the civil servants. There are very few people who are so stern as they are now.

   "It's just ridiculous!"

   "The fifth prince, Li Chang, studied and practiced martial arts at an early age. He didn't like to compete with others on weekdays. He didn't even say a few words in front of people. He was busy in the Ministry of Industry and did not have much contact with courtiers."

   "You actually said that the mastermind behind the instigation of the Qian family was Li Chang?"

The last sentence,   , burst out with anger.

   is probably the kind of complicated emotion that "I don't know better than you what kind of virtue my son has."

   Yao Shangshu is worthy of being a Shangshu, and he did not panic when he was angered by Emperor Yongjia. He cupped his hands and replied, "Please, the emperor, calm down and listen to the minister."

  Emperor Yongjia sneered: "Okay, tell me, I would like to hear what you have to say."

  Yao Shangshu has been in charge of the Punishment Department for many years, and he is very calm. In the face of Emperor Yongjia's anger, he could report one by one in a slow manner: "After Jiang Muliao entered the Criminal Department, he refused to admit it at first. Later, punishment was used. I asked for a whole night, and only then did I recognize the fifth prince. I thought that Jiang's staff would not tell lies."

   There is only one breath left at the last breath, what else is there to cheat?

  The Prison of the Ministry of Justice is no joke.

   The more calm and calm Yao Shangshu became, the more annoyed Emperor Yongjia became. He tightened his face and said angrily: "You go back to the punishment department now and continue the interrogation. I don't believe that Li Chang would do such a thing..."

   Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu hurried in: "Report to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is asking to see you outside the hall!"

   Really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.

  Emperor Yongjia calmed down: "Let him in, I just have something to ask him!" Then he glanced at Yao Shangshu, and said coldly: "Yao Shangshu also stay, and listen to what Li Chang will say."

  Yao Shangshu replied in a deep voice, took two steps back, and stood aside.

   After a while, the fifth prince, Li Chang, walked in quickly.

Emperor Yongjia had six sons and three daughters. Among the five adult princes, the eldest prince Li Yi had been favored for more than ten years, the second prince Li Jing was named a prince, and everyone admired, the third prince Li Hao was both civil and military, and the fourth prince Li Xian had also had them in recent years. A good name.

   Only the fifth prince, Li Chang, is mediocre and almost dull, and his presence is almost nonexistent.

The last time    was talked about a lot was because he beat up the fifth concubine a year ago, and Yu Shangshu, the official department, went to the palace to complain with snot and tears.

  In a rage, Emperor Yongjia declared Li Chang to enter the palace, slapped Li Chang twice in front of Yu Shangshu, and ordered Li Chang to kneel to Yu Shangshu to plead guilty, and then imprisoned Li Chang for three months as a punishment.

   After that, Li Chang was completely silent.

   Every day I go to the Ministry of Industry to order a mao, and in the early morning I stood in the prince pile to collect the number. The rest of the time, he mostly went to the Third Prince's Mansion to pass the time. As for the marital relationship with the Fifth Prince, there is no need to mention it. If it weren't for the fact that the royal family could not reconcile, Yu Shangshu could not wait to take the fifth prince concubine back to live in Yu's house.

  Compared with before, Li Chang gained weight again and walked a little slowly. A pair of eyes were squeezed into two slits by the flesh on his face.

   Anyone who looks at it will only think that this is a stupid person, not a bad person.

  Emperor Yongjia glanced gloomily at the Fifth Prince and then at Yao Shangshu.

  Look at my fifth son, does he seem like someone who can assassinate the prince?

   In all fairness, Yao Shangshu didn't believe it either. However, he trusts the trial officer more, and the evidence in black and white.

  Li Chang salutes him.

   "Li Chang, I have something, I'll show it to you." Emperor Yongjia held back his anger and gestured: "It's right in front of you, pick it up yourself."

  Li Chang responded, picked up the file from the ground, and read it quickly. Then, unexpectedly, he knelt down: "My son came to the palace, just to apologize to the emperor."

   "The Qian family brought gifts to the third brother's house, but the third brother didn't see them. I often go to the third brother's house, and I am familiar with Jiang's staff. When he mentioned the Qian family, I met them privately."

   "It was Erchen who instructed the Qian family to contact the four families of King Zhu Wei and Shen to assassinate the crown prince. The third brother didn't know about it from the beginning to the end. The father and the emperor wanted to beat him and punished him, and the children and ministers recognized it!"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

   Yao Shangshu: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia's face was frozen, with no expression at all.

   Yao Shangshu quickly recovered after the initial shock and stared at Li Chang's face. Trying to find expressions like "guilty" and "actually I'm here to blame" from this fat face.

But Li Chang looked righteous and did not even feel ashamed, and continued to speak frankly: "Prince Concubine ignored our brothers and poisoned our mother-in-law. After the Prince returned to Beijing, he vented his anger with the Crown Princess. Just die in vain!"

   "The third brother has many worries and forbearance everywhere. I don't have so many scruples."

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for several years. The prince is away from the Beijing office, and has been with thousands of personal soldiers around him. The defense is strict, and I have never had the opportunity to do it. Fortunately, I went to Jiangnan this year. The five Jiangnan families were already uneasy. In the name of the third brother, I sent a message to the Qian family. The Qian family had bad intentions, and when the bait hit the bait, they immediately took the bait. I used the dead man who had been buried for seven or eight years to assassinate the prince. It’s a pity , a dancer rushed out and blocked the first blow for the prince."

   "Having reached this point, I encouraged them again and sent troops to besiege the Governor's Palace. The emperor also knew what happened later."

   "Anyway, I have done everything, and there is nothing I dare not admit."

   "They are husband and wife, and they don't treat our brother as a family at all. Why can't I take revenge? It's a pity that there is no chance, otherwise, I will definitely send someone else..."

   Before he finished speaking, he saw Emperor Yongjia with his face ashen, his legs flying like a fly.

  Li Chang was kicked in a heart-wrenching foot, and immediately let out a miserable cry, flew a few meters away, and slammed into the pillars in the hall. With a wow, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

   This heartfelt blood spilled on the ground paved with jade, which was especially shocking.

   "You bastard!" The blood of Emperor Yongjia's whole body was surging upwards, and he was furious: "You are simply not worthy of a human being! I will personally kill you this **** today!"
