Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies

Everyone was so frightened and silent because of his rage that King Wu kept clenching his hands nervously.

Because he was "frail and sickly", he had never seen the emperor's wrath. Now that he saw it, he realized how narrow-minded he had been.

However, in fear and trembling, what he saw was not only the anger of the emperor, but also the majestic appearance of the emperor wearing a dragon robe.

If one day he sat on that chair, he would definitely be more majestic than this.

King Wu thought so.

"How come you have evidence that the Yu family is collaborating with the enemy?" Looking up, Emperor Yuanwu stared at him angrily.

The King of Wu was so frightened that he crawled over on his hands and feet, grabbed the hem of Emperor Yuanwu's clothes, and expressed his love in tears.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty... In fact. As early as when my father, Emperor Long, was ill, Yu Qian found me. He promised me that he could help me ascend to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan, as long as I made him a king after he ascended the throne. A prince with a different surname."

"I have been frail since I was young and have been pampered. While I am grateful to my father, I also feel like a useless person. Therefore, I could not refuse Yu Qian's conditions, so I reached a cooperation with him."

"After that, he taught me to do many things, such as to please my father, His Majesty and King Shen... I followed his instructions, and step by step, I fell deeper and deeper into trouble."

"On the night of the palace coup, he asked me to kill you, who was most likely to take the throne. I couldn't stand the temptation of power and almost took action."

"But when I saw you and King Shen working together to defend against the enemy, regardless of their previous grudges, I suddenly realized that I have never been instigated by Yu Qian again."

"And these letters were obtained by me from Yu Qian. At that time, I obeyed his advice. Perhaps I felt that I did not have the guts and ability to betray him, or perhaps in order to gain my trust, I allowed me to have access to these letters, and Retained.”

"I was deceived and bewitched by Yu Qian, and I did a lot of bad things. These things are like knives, piercing my heart all the time, making me uneasy day and night."

"Your Majesty, I really can't stand the torture of my conscience, so I came here to surrender to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish me."

He said his sincere words very nicely, avoiding the important and choosing the light, and completely placing the blame on Yu Qian.

He himself had picked it off cleanly. Maybe people who didn't know the truth would sympathize with him as the person who was being coerced.

Emperor Yuanwu slowly sat on the dragon chair, holding his forehead with both hands. His face was buried in the shadows, making it impossible to see his true emotions.

Does he believe what King Wu said?

He didn't believe it, because the evidence that King Wu and Prince Wu Ti of Northern Qi collaborated with each other was currently hidden in the Chengming Palace.

King Wu came to him with evidence against Yu Qian, just because he was worried about getting him out after the collapse of the Yu family.

So he simply took the initiative to "explain" and pushed the Yu family, who everyone was shouting and beating, into a manure pit. Their bodies were covered with shit, and no one cared whether the Yu family really stinked.

He wanted to use this trick to exonerate himself!

If he hadn't known who King Wu was, he might have been confused by King Wu's emotional performance.

But the focus at this time is not to investigate the truth or falsehood of what King Wu said, but to use King Wu's sword to completely destroy the Yu family.

Emperor Yuanwu raised his eyes and seemed to have calmed down. He said calmly: "I was excited just now. After all, Yu Qian has been loyal to two generations of emperors. I should not conclude that he is treasonous and treasonous just because of a few letters."

"Third brother, it's not that I don't believe you, but everything should be verified to avoid misunderstanding innocent people."

"Let's do this. I'll keep these letters for now. Whether or not the Yu family is guilty or not can be determined only after the truth is revealed."

"You are the master of suffering. I will give you the opportunity to redress your grievances at any time. However, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, you must be put in jail first. Until all the things you have committed are found out and the results are obtained, I can deal with you. .”

"Think about it while you are in prison. Do you have any evidence that can prove Yu Qian's crime? It will not only help me to relieve my worries, but also for your own benefit."

The King of Wu did not expect that Emperor Yuanwu would imprison his brother on New Year's Eve. He was shocked and frightened, and begged and called out: "Brother, tonight is New Year's Eve..."

Emperor Yuanwu said matter-of-factly: "Third brother, the laws of the Qin Dynasty don't pick dates, and neither can I, because I can't show favoritism for any reason."

"Since you have the courage to take the initiative to confess your mistakes, it means that you are an upright and brave person. I believe you will understand my decision. Go ahead! I will ask the cell leader to lay out more hay to avoid freezing you."

The King of Wu felt regretful. If he had known that the emperor was so harsh, he would have waited until after the New Year dinner to admit his mistake!

Before he could react, Emperor Yuanwu gave Eunuch Lu a wink. Eunuch Lu agreed and had the "sick" third prince sent to the cell in a sedan chair.

As Emperor Yuanwu said, there was a lot of hay in his cell and it was clean, but other than that, there was nothing else.

In this weather where every drop of water turns to ice, if he stayed there for just a few days, he would really turn into that sick man who walks unsteadily with every step he takes.

But despite this, King Wu was still determined to be traitorous. He was so frightened and angry that he recalled the heroic appearance of Emperor Yuanwu when he was angry.

Ambition grows little by little.

After King Wu was taken away, Emperor Yuanwu's expression suddenly changed. He slowly put the letter into an envelope, and then handed it to Eunuch Lu to keep it.

King Liang looked at him in surprise and uncertainty, because just now, His Majesty Long Yan was furious. Why did he act like nothing happened as soon as King Wu left?

King Liang racked his brains, and it took him a long time to realize that his majesty was acting. Isn't it too scary?

"Prince Liang," Emperor Yuanwu's gentle voice sounded at this time, "some people like to be smart, thinking that they can hide the truth without knowing it, but they don't know that whether they lie to themselves or others, one day they will be exposed. , are you right?"

This is what he means. As long as you understand the meaning, you will know that His Majesty is warning him.

King Liang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty and will never have any second thoughts."

Emperor Yuanwu smiled half-heartedly: "It's the King of Liang who understands me."

"I am a person who likes to be loyal. As long as I can handle things from my heart, sometimes I can pretend to be confused and turn a blind eye."

"But if some people knowingly commit crimes and insist on challenging my bottom line, then I will become cruel and destroy my relatives for justice. It's nothing. Prince Liang, don't let me down!"

This is telling him that if he wants to save his head, he must be willing to become a knife and cut wherever he points.

King Liang broke out in a sweat. It was only at this moment that he fully understood that his Majesty had already known everything, including the theft of the funerary objects.

The appearance of King Wu may have been deliberately arranged by His Majesty, with the purpose of getting King Wu to stand on the side of attacking the Yu family.

I can still live with my beard and tail intact at this moment, not because he is Your Majesty's uncle, but because he is still useful.

In order to survive, he must be obedient and get rid of everything His Majesty wants to get rid of, otherwise he will become the one being eliminated.

Who let the handle be held?

The emperor's scheming is indeed unfathomable

"Go down!" Emperor Yuanwu waved his hand calmly.

King Liang retreated softly. When he reached the door, his legs went weak and he could hardly stand - this emperor's thoughts and tricks were terrifying.

After all, Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao did not wake up naturally because Ah Liu came to report that something happened to Xue Wei.
