Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

"Your Excellency, Xu Yuan, Yin of the Yamen Prefecture in Kyoto, is here to see Your Majesty!"

At this time, Xu Yuan was kneeling in the main hall, his face was pale and his voice was trembling.

A mere governor, how can he be qualified to stand in the chapel and consecrate him on weekdays? !

He had thought about countless possibilities of kneeling in front of Emperor Tianjing, but he never thought that it would be like this.

"Xu Yuan, do you know your guilt?!"

Seeing Xu Yuan, Zhou Fan shouted coldly!

He gave Xu Yuan a chance, but Xu Yuan still wanted to remain neutral. He was hesitant and thought he could escape unscathed? !

Simply delusional!

Now Zhou Zheng's crime is no longer simply killing people in the street.

And if it involves collaboration with the enemy and treason, it is more likely to put the Zhou Dynasty into trouble again!

Who can protect him from such a serious crime? !

Even the current Holy Emperor would find it impossible not to kill Zhou Zheng!

What Xu Yuan did yesterday was obviously to give Zhou Fan a chance!

He had long wanted to secretly control the Kyoto Yamen in his own hands, and he had also tried to win over Xu Yuan over the years.

It's a pity that Xu Yuan wants to get rid of the mud in the court and stay out of it. It's really a daydream.

"My lord, I don't know..."

Xu Yuan was lying on the ground, trembling all over. ,

He could feel that the atmosphere in the court was unusual, and out of the corner of his eye he saw envelopes scattered at Emperor Tianjing's feet.

Xu Yuan is a smart man, and he quickly thought that these things must be closely related to Zhou Zheng.

"I don't know!?"

"As a Kyoto Yamen, I am responsible for the security of Kyoto!"

"The prince killed someone in the street. The evidence of the crime was clear, but you wantonly covered him up and allowed the prince to do evil and kill the people!"

"Do you agree with these?!"

Zhou Fan looked at Xu Yuan with a sneer. Since you, Xu Yuan, are unwilling to join his camp, I will take advantage of an opportunity to kill you completely!

Zhou Fan's questioning made everyone in the room turn their attention to Xu Yuan.

The same is true for Emperor Tianjing above.

Today, the information provided by Zhou Ting is enough to kill Zhou Zheng!

At this time, no one on Zhou Zheng's side can escape the relationship.

Facing Zhou Fan's attack, Xu Yuan's heart sank slightly.

Today, no matter what the reason for Zhou Zheng's murder was, as long as Xu Yuan did not arrest Zhou Zheng, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty.

It may range from being dismissed from office to being dismissed from office, or at severe risk, your home may be confiscated and you may be charged!

The eldest prince is not planning to let him go!

Not only the eldest prince, but no one present who was an official in the same dynasty stood up to say a word for Xu Yuan, which made Xu Yuan feel chilled.

After all, who doesn’t know the special nature of this matter.

To capture the prince is to commit the crime below, who dares! ?

Capturing and seizing the prince is an act of dereliction of duty, and is more likely to be interpreted as being part of the prince's party!

Not to mention Xu Yuan, if it were anyone else who was the governor of Kyoto Yamen, he would be powerless to face this matter.

"Prince, for your humble position, I owe you a huge favor."

At this time, the image of Zhou Zheng in Xu Yuan's mind was undoubtedly much taller.

Everything was as Zhou Zheng expected. If Xu Yuan did not act, today in the court might be the day of Xu Yuan's death!

"What your Highness said, I don't recognize."

Raising his head, Xu Yuan looked at Zhou Fan and responded.

This answer made Zhou Fan a little confused and unable to react.

deny! ?

What means! ?

"Xu Yuan, how brave are you to make excuses in front of the Holy Emperor!?"

"No matter how much you have a three-inch tongue, you can't even think of being deceived!"

Zhou Fan was a little angry and pointed at Xu Yuan and continued to scold him.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't understand what His Highness said."

"Recently, a series of incidents have appeared in Kyoto.

The listed murder cases are true, and I and the Kyoto Yamen did not dare to neglect in the slightest. "

"There is no bending of the law for personal gain, let alone malfeasance in duty. I hope your Majesty will understand clearly."

Xu Yuan kept kowtowing, his attitude was sincere, and it didn't look like he was cheating.

But at these words, the ministers shook their heads.

Naturally, they knew very well that Xu Yuan's words were of no use to them.

"Is it?"

"The result?!"

Liu Fu frowned. He didn't talk nonsense to Xu Yuan, but went straight to the point!

Older gingers are more spicy!

To be able to become the head of the hundred officials, Liu Fu's rank is still relatively high.

"Back to the Prime Minister, the eldest prince did come to see the official and asked him to arrest the prince."

At this time, Xu Yuan also had some anger in his heart.

These guys clearly don't want to make things easier for themselves.

In this case, Xu Yuan doesn't have to worry too much.

On the spot, he revealed the fact that Zhou Fan was looking for him late at night.

Seeing that Xu Yuan had sold him out, Zhou Fan's face turned pale, and murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.

The second prince Zhou Ting and his faction watched the show silently.

After all, Xu Yuan's words were undoubtedly telling everyone that Zhou Fan was not a good person.

He doesn't care about brotherhood at all, and even hopes to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

"Xu Yuan, don't change the subject!"

Liu Fu didn't expect Xu Yuan to say such words at this time and interrupted him directly.

I originally wanted to keep Xu Yuan alive, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

Liu Fu looked gloomy and had already written Xu Yuan's name on the death book in advance.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, the recent murders in Kyoto were indeed committed by the prince alone."

"My lord, the prince has been arrested overnight."

Xu Yuan raised his head, his expression unchanged, and responded in a deep voice.

And this answer made everyone's eyes widen in disbelief!

The prince was captured! ?

How can it be? !

Xu Yuan has the courage? !

What's more, Zhou Fan only came into contact with Xu Yuan last night, and even the courtiers saw Zhou Zheng strutting around the door of the mansion last night.

Why did Xu Yuan suddenly become a suspect? !

When making up a reason, you should also make up a decent one.

"The prince is in the Yamen cell now. Your Majesty can send people to investigate or bring him to trial at any time."

Xu Yuan was not surprised by everyone's attitude. Compared with the faces and expressions of Zhou Fan and others, he was actually much calmer.

Because everything was within his expectations.

"Come, go to the Yamen in Kyoto and bring the prince here."

Emperor Tianjing looked at everything happening below coldly, and then slowly spoke.

......

The prince's residence!

Gong Tan and others looked quite solemn at this time.

Although they are not in the court, they can vaguely guess that the situation in the court today must not be simple!

"Sister-in-law, if we really have to, let's rob the prison!"

Zhou Ping gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

If Zhou Zheng is really in a certain death situation this time, then this may be their only option.

"Confused!"

"What's the difference between prison robbery and rebellion?!"

After hearing Zhou Ping's suggestion, Gong Tan whispered angrily!

If such words were heard by someone with a heart, it would be a capital crime!

"Then what to do?!"

Others also looked melancholy. Zhou Zheng was furious and wanted to avenge Sima Cheng, which was naturally very satisfying.

But this time, there are too many things involved.

The imperial court will not allow it, and the prince and officials will make an article out of it!

"Miss Gong!"

"Kingto Yamen, someone wants to see you!"

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a rapid voice came from outside the meeting hall.
