Chapter 487 The sword comes

"In private matters, selfishness is very important! In public matters, there is no achievement! They are all nothing but wine and rice bags! What use do you have!"

Emperor Mingde stood on the stage and looked down at everyone below.

If the prince was still here, how could this situation happen today?

Thinking of this, Emperor Mingde's eyes changed, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Fortunately, the prince died young, otherwise when he gave up the throne, it turned out that "this prince is not the prince" and the consequences would be...

Emperor Mingde suddenly regretted that he had established the crown prince too early, which caused him to focus on cultivating the crown prince in the early years and neglected to discipline his other sons.

Seeing the three remaining sons acting like cockfighters all day long, only focusing on each other's mistakes, he was not without disappointment and regret in his heart.

But now, it's too late.

Starting from Mr. Cao, everyone circulated the evidence in their hands and read it, and then fell into silence together.

King Xuan and King Yi were shocked when they heard what Emperor Mingde said.

This is the first time that my father has spoken about this topic so clearly in front of everyone.

"Father, calm down! The fourth brother has made a big mistake and deserves to be punished. There is no need to get angry because of him!"

King Yi looked at Emperor Mingde's livid face and quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Fourth brother! I didn't expect you to be so bold! You..."

After reading the evidence in his hand, King Xuan looked at King Zhuang in disbelief.

Forget about colluding with foreigners, he was actually allowed to leave a city! This is simply going to break the heavens!

The people who circulated the evidence never showed the things to Yongle Bo and the others. Prince Zhuang was worried: "Father! My son is wronged! I don't know where this bastard got these things from, and now my father doesn't even ask." Just to convict the son, is the son really so unbearable in the heart of the father?"

It was okay that King Zhuang didn't speak. Once he spoke, the anger in Emperor Mingde's eyes could no longer be suppressed: "Don't even ask? Those are all letters between you and the traitor Song Yifei! There are also the traitor and the foreigner. Signed and stamped testimony!”

"Are you saying that these are all fabricated by Prince Ping? Ah?!!"

Emperor Mingde knew that his son was stupid, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid!

He has ambition but no means, so he is easily taken advantage of. As long as his means are better, he can also take a high look.

Prince Zhuang's expression suddenly changed.

How dare Song Yifei keep the letters between the two? !

Seeing King Zhuang's unwillingness to give up, Zhong Lizhou added: "Witnesses, physical evidence, and correspondence are all here. If the emperor still has objections, there is a Tatar Khan who can help testify." .”

Before entering Beijing, Zhong Lizhou had made complete preparations.

The Tatars are just their defeated generals now, and it couldn't be easier to get the other party to testify.

When King Zhuang heard this, he immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "You are often at the border and often deal with people from foreign races. Who knows if you and your father united with people from foreign races to frame me?"

"Father! My son has always been in the capital and has never left. How could he collude with foreigners? His evidence is full of loopholes and cannot be trusted at all!"

Yongle Bo followed immediately: "That's right! His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang has never left the capital, so how can he collude with foreigners? On the contrary, Prince Ping and his son are often at the border. Maybe they have united with foreigners to frame His Highness!"

A group of people looked at Zhong Lizhou again.

Both sides held their own opinions, and what they said made sense. What surprised them even more was Prince Ping's calmness and ease of movement at the moment.

Master Cao and others squinted their eyes and looked at Zhong Lizhou quietly.

I have never noticed before that Prince Ping is so old?

And he looks obviously different from the emperors and grandsons in Beijing.

"Uncle Emperor and Yongle Bo don't need to quibble. My father and I have been guarding the border all year round. When we meet foreigners, we fight with weapons. There is no such thing as what you said. In addition, His Highness Prince Zhuang used the lives of Master Song Yifei and his junior sister. The testimony clearly stated how he was blackmailed, how he was placed into the Jiang family, and how he was framed by the Fifth Emperor Uncle afterwards."

"The witnesses and evidence are all here. If your uncle feels that I framed you, please come up with evidence instead of getting angry and talking about it."

After Zhong Lizhou finished speaking, he stepped back, not bothered at all by Prince Zhuang's words.

Ji Fengshou's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his mind began to take stock of what Ji Changying had said before.

The emperor is not the only one with these three sons. Since their family has already offended someone, why not...

"What else do you have to say?! Since you said it was framed by others, then provide evidence to prove that these are all false!"

Emperor Mingde looked at Prince Zhuang with some disappointment.

Not as good as a mere teenager. He is really old but not wise!

Things happened so suddenly that King Zhuang did not expect that Zhong Lizhou would suddenly attack, let alone Song Yifei, who was still alive and arrived in the capital alive.

For a while, he couldn't produce any evidence at all.

Seeing Prince Zhuang's speechless expression, Yongle Bo secretly hated him for failing to live up to his expectations, but thinking that if today's events were not explained clearly, not only Prince Zhuang, but also their Yongle Bo Mansion would not end well.

He immediately fell on the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty! I am not as eloquent as my son, but my loyalty to Your Majesty is a lesson! When Your Majesty had nothing, I used all my property to help Your Majesty march north. , I have never retreated from my loyalty. I didn’t expect that only more than 20 years ago, the old minister’s family would be questioned like this! I have no intention to do it, so I can’t argue with you, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Ming De stood there and looked at Yongle Bo: "No matter how much friendship you have, it will be exhausted. Come with the sword!"

He reached out towards Eunuch Liu who was standing aside.

Eunuch Liu's heart trembled, and he respectfully presented the sword with both hands.

The people below were all tense at this moment. Yonglebo was shocked by Emperor Mingde's words.

"I will kill this unfilial descendant with my own hands today! For the sake of my dragon throne, he surrendered without fighting and ruined the family fortune! I just pretend that I have never given birth to a loser like you!"

Emperor Mingde took out the sword in his hand and slashed at King Zhuang.

"His Majesty!"

A group of people exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. King Zhuang was even more frightened by Emperor Mingde's attitude. He knelt on the ground and kept retreating. He looked at Emperor Mingde with some horror: "Father! You really want to do this?" kill me?"

He thought it was just to scare him before, but he didn't expect it to be real!

"I have killed more people than you have eaten! Do you think I am too old to carry a knife?!"
