"Tell me, did King Rui send you there?" Xuan Zheng asked coldly.

Wei Nan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Xuan Wenguang put his foot on his stomach: "How dare you speak harshly in front of His Majesty?!"

Wei Nan endured the pain in his body, veins popped out on his forehead, but his eyes were wide open, as if you had the guts to kill me, I wouldn't be able to say a word even if I were dead.

Several people in Zichen Hall were in a stalemate, and someone outside the door came to report that Mr. Guandiguan, the Wude Secretary, was here.

"Inform him to come in." Xuan Zheng said in a deep voice.

Guan Di came in and when he saw the battle inside, he immediately asked Xuan Zheng if he wanted to go out and wait. Xuan Zheng waved his hand: "You're here just in time. You Wude Secretary is always very skillful. Try to find a way to get him to do it." Tell me everything you know.”

Guan Di took the order and looked at Wei Nan for a while, feeling coldness rising from his body. Then, Guan Di leaned into Wei Nan's ear and whispered a few words.

"Don't tell me? Are you stubborn?"

"Do you have parents? Do you have a son?"

"I'll seize your parents, wife and children, roast them over the fire, cut off the roasted meat piece by piece, and feed it to you."

"Catch your son and smash the joints on his legs, arms, and hands one by one in front of you..."

The more he talked, the uglier Wei Nan's face became, and in the end, his whole body started to tremble uncontrollably.

"If you are given a chance to speak, you must tell everything you know. Do you understand? If you explain everything clearly, your parents, wife and children will not be implicated. But if you are ungrateful, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Guandi is also a part of this, and the population of Wei Nan's family has been clearly investigated.

Xuan Wenguang looked on with a surprised look on his face. How could this kind of talk be better than what he used to do with real swords and guns?He beat Wei Nan half to death, but he didn't even give out any more useful information that he didn't know.

Wei Nan's face has changed obviously, from unwillingness, anger, indifference, and dedication to death, to fear, begging, fear...

"Go on, Your Majesty is merciful and will spare your life so that you can tell the truth."

"Now that you are in the palace and in front of His Majesty, even if you get out alive, your master will not keep you. It is better to find another master. At least Wude Si and the second prince will protect your family."

Guan Di's eerie voice kept echoing in Wei Nan's ears.

Wei Nan knelt on the ground, lowered his head and told the whole story. It was King Rui who asked him to deliver the letter to the Xiongnu camp. As long as the Xiongnu retreated, Beichu would withdraw.

Xuan Zheng was furious when he heard this, and Guan Di also showed a surprised expression at the right time, looking at Xuan Zheng as though he had no idea. He shouldn't have heard of the prince's secrets.

"Huh, King Rui is so brave!"

Xuan Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Since King Rui failed to cooperate with the Huns, how did the Huns retreat later?"

"Ayi Mei, the sister of the Xiongnu Chanyu, came to see Song Qinglan. After we discussed it, we agreed to send grain and seeds to the Xiongnu. Princess Pluto also sent some cultivated Chinese herbal medicine. In addition, since the Xiongnu grain and grass supply was insufficient, we retreated."

In order to avoid Xuan Zheng's suspicion, Xuan Wenguang did not say anything about Xuan Ming's pressure on the tribes to surrender to Yi Hesong.Xuan Zheng will not send anyone to investigate the details and order of events.

Xuan Zheng nodded faintly, with a plan in mind. He turned to look at Guan Di and asked him if he had important matters before entering the palace.

"I came here because I was entrusted by Mr. Liang Xianliang, the garrison of the capital, to deliver a message to His Majesty."

"Recently, wealthy households in the capital have been robbed and robbed. Mr. Liang and I are working on this case together. I recently found the hilltop of the bandits in Heifeng Village. During the investigation, I found that there were soldiers from Northern Chu near Heifeng Village. Moreover, the [-] cavalrymen that His Majesty once sent to King Rui to assist Yanmen Pass appeared in the suburbs of Beijing."

The more Guan Di spoke, the darker Xuan Zheng's face became and the gloomier his eyes became.

"Master Liang has already led people to investigate the matter. Because the matter involves the prince, it is so important that no delay can be allowed, so he asked the minister to go to the palace to report."

"Prince Rui is so brave!" Xuan Zheng waved his hand, and all the teacups and memorials on the table were thrown to the ground.

How dare that little bastard lie to him and say that he secretly took these [-] cavalrymen under his command and hid them in the mountains after they escaped from the battle and burned to death on the mountain?Is this a plan to station troops for rebellion? !

From this incident, it can be seen that when he raised private soldiers before, he punished him too lightly. After thinking about it, King Rui did not keep his promise and did not confiscate all the private soldiers.

He didn't take his father seriously at all.

Considering what Guan Di and Xuan Wenguang said, I am afraid that Heifengzhai assassinated Xuan Ming on the way, and it was King Rui who reported the news.

"Why did King Rui insist on killing his ninth brother?" Xuan Zheng looked at Wei Nan seriously.

There was a gust of wind at the door, and King Li suddenly burst in and shouted: "Because Uncle Nine Emperors discovered the explosion in Erchen Coal Mine, and it was King Rui who did it!"

Li Youcai was so anxious that he was dripping with cold sweat. Why did he just barge in without notifying King Li? !

"Father, please forgive me for barging in directly. I was waiting outside, but after hearing a few words inside, I really couldn't bear for my father to be deceived by King Rui!"

King Li knelt on the ground with a sincere expression and kowtowed heavily.

"In order to expose his son's private coal mining operation in Jiulonggang, King Rui had people light an open fire and blow up the coal mine, which affected hundreds of innocent people, ranging from white-haired old men aged 80 to [-], to young children waiting for food. The child was not spared from the death. The Nine Emperors Uncle had warned him after he found out about this, but he refused to change his stubbornness and tried to kill the Nine Emperors Uncle over and over again! Father, you will never let him go. !”

King Li was impassioned and indignant. He could not miss this opportunity for King Larry to dismount.

Xuan Zheng thought, if all this was his plan, he was also seriously injured.

King Li knew Xuan Zheng well, and when he saw him frowning and stroking the white jade finger on his thumb, he knew that he must be feeling distressed in his heart. He hurriedly shouted: "Father, King Rui is used to using bitter tricks. What happened last time when he went back to the coal mine?" I also used the bitter meat trick to escape the disaster, and I’m going to do it again this time!”

"On King Rui's side, my son also sent people to bring supplements. They were all frightening-looking flesh wounds, and they were all broken. He just took advantage of his father's soft heart and did whatever he wanted!"

"enough!"

Xuan Zheng was angry. The combination of so many clues and information completely overturned the image that King Rui had worked so hard to create in front of him.

Not only did he frame his brother and kill innocent people, he also raised troops and stationed troops without authorization to plan a rebellion. He even did not hesitate to collude with enemy countries and bandits to assassinate his imperial uncle.In this way, who knows what means he will use to deal with his father in the future?

Today, he finally understood the true face of King Rui.
