Madam, protect me!

Han Dynasty Palace.

The King of Han raised his wine glass, touched it lightly with Wang Yue, and said, "Brother Wang, you and I will drink this cup together!"

Under the Wang family's promotion, everything went very smoothly.

With the gradual reform of the imperial examination system, aristocratic families almost monopolized the source of Jinshi.

The Wang family has been involved in the court for many years. There are members of the Wang family in the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples. Coupled with the operation of Jing Zhaoyin, more than half of the local officials in the entire Gyeonggi Province can participate in the denunciation of Li Xuanjing.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the next court meeting to attack Li Xuanjing.

Wang Yue drank the wine in the cup and said, "Don't worry, no one can save him this time!"

After a long time, the slightly drunk King of Han returned to his bedroom.

A figure has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Jing Zhaoyin, the King of Han smiled and said, "Fu Zhi, you came just in time. I didn't enjoy the drink just now. Please have a few more drinks with me!"

Wang Yue relied on his family background to be arrogant, but the King of Han actually didn't like getting along with him.

Only when you meet a close friend while drinking wine can you enjoy yourself to the fullest.

He picked up the jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for Jing Zhaoyin himself. After Jing Zhaoyin took it, he did not drink it and said, "Your Highness, Xie Xiaoyu is dead..."

The King of Han drank a glass of wine and asked casually: "Xie Xiaoyu, who is Xie Xiaoyu?"

Jing Zhaoyin took the wine pot from his hand, and the King of Han suddenly woke up and asked: "What, she died, how did she die, and when did she die?"

The head of the prince's inner palace was one of the last two participants in the East Palace incident.

Jing Zhaoyin said slowly: "Last night, she died of a sudden illness. It is said that she contracted some serious disease. In order to prevent it from spreading to others, her body was burned by her family that night."

King Han glanced at him and asked, "Did you do it?"

Jing Zhaoyin said: "I thought His Highness did it."

"I have never given such an order." The King of Han looked suspicious and said, "It's not you, nor me. Could it be King You? He doesn't let us do it, but he does it himself. Doesn't it mean he doesn't trust us?"

Jing Zhaoyin thought for a while and said, "It's also possible that no one took action, and she really died of a serious illness."

The King of Han said: "Isn't this a good thing? Is Ding Fang still alive?"

Jing Zhaoyin nodded and said, "Still alive."

The King of Han waved his hand and said: "That's okay, you don't have to be suspicious all the time. After this incident, find someone to get rid of Ding Fang. No one will ever know about that incident. Come, drink, drink." …”

He drank a few drinks by himself. After getting drunk, he looked at Jing Zhaoyin and suddenly asked: "Just now, I want to ask you a question. You have to answer me honestly. I have wanted to ask you this question for a long time... "

Jing Zhaoyin said: "What's the problem?"

The King of Han looked into his eyes and asked: "My father loves the prince so much, and the prince treats you well. You followed the prince back then and had a bright future. Why did you risk killing the nine tribes and choose me?"

Jing Zhaoyin thought for a while and said: "When I entered the East Palace, the prince was already the prince. Everything I had was given by the prince. I didn't owe much to the prince. At that time, there were many people around the prince, including Many of them are relatives of the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it will not be my turn to reuse me. However, unlike His Highness, I and Your Highness both have the honor and loss. After these years together, I believe that Your Highness will not treat me badly... "

The King of Han patted him on the shoulder and said: "That's natural. If I ascend the throne, although I can't grant you a title of marquis, I will definitely grant you the title of prime minister. At that time, you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people..."

Jing Zhaoyin cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank Your Highness in advance."

He took the wine glass from King Han's hand, helped him to the bedside, and said, "Your Highness is drunk, so you should rest for a while."

King Han lay on the bed, closed his eyes, waved his hand gently, and said: "I am indeed a little tired. Go and do your work. I will take a nap."

Jing Zhaoyin slowly exited the hall and closed the door.

On the brocade couch, King Han slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were less drunk and more melancholy, and he said: "Fu Zhi, Fu Zhi, after so many years, you are still unwilling to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me... "

A moment later, Prince You’s Mansion.

King You looked at Jing Zhaoyin with surprise on his face and said, "It's not me. I haven't had anyone do it to me. Why, is there something wrong with her death?"

Jing Zhaoyin thought for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe she really died of illness."

King You's mind was no longer on this matter. He looked at Jing Zhaoyin and said, "It doesn't matter whether she died of illness or not, as long as she dies, that's fine. Having said that, Mr. Lin, have you ever considered coming to my place?" Service, whatever the King of Han can give you, I can give you, and I can give you more..."

Jing Zhaoyin did not answer, but clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to leave."

Looking at his leaving figure, King You showed a look of pity on his face and said: "It is a pity that such a rare talent cannot be used by this king. Why did these smart people choose the mediocre person, Lin Fuzhi?" The same goes for Li Xuanjing..."

He had recruited Lin Fuzhi back then, but Lin Fuzhi chose the King of Han.

He also recruited Li Xuanjing several times.

Li Xuanjing chose King Chun.

If he could get help from these two people, he wouldn't have to worry about the big thing failing, and he wouldn't have to take the risks he had back then.

I really can’t figure it out...

The moment he stepped out of Prince You's Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin's expression became a little more solemn.

He did not go to Jingzhao Mansion and went straight back to Lin Mansion.

Not long after, a homing pigeon flew out from the Lin Mansion and soared into the sky...

at this time.

Spiegel Si Tian Lao.

A middle-aged woman huddled in the corner of the cell, her body shaking uncontrollably.

At a certain moment, the cell door was opened. She raised her head and glanced, her face immediately turned pale, she rolled over, kowtowed heavily on the ground several times, and said in a trembling voice: "See, your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia looked down at her and said coldly: "Tell me what you did back then. I will spare your nine clans and keep your whole body..."

When he was caught in the Mirror Division, Xie Xiaoyu knew that everything was over.

She has been very cautious these years and doesn't dare to make any small mistakes.

Only what happened back then could be the reason why she was caught in the Mirror Division.

Being able to save the nine tribes and leave the whole body behind was a gift that she could not even imagine.

She was overjoyed, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, your majesty, thank you for your kindness, I am willing to say anything!"

Not long after, Emperor Xia walked out of the prison of the Mirror Division.

His black hair had turned into silver threads, and vertical and horizontal wrinkles appeared on his face. In less than a quarter of an hour, he changed from middle-aged to old.

Although everyone in the Mirror Division was shocked, they did not dare to show any signs of surprise.

However, after he put a pill into his mouth and the aura on his body fluctuated, his hair turned from white to black, the wrinkles on his face quickly disappeared, and his skin became firm again.

Emperor Xia took a long breath and said, "Let Li Xuanjing come to see me."

After a long time, a figure slowly walked into the room, bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia asked: "When did you know about the East Palace matter?"

Li Xuanjing said: "Not long ago."

Emperor Xia continued to ask: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Xuanjing said: "It concerns the two princes. Without verification, we dare not disturb His Majesty."

Emperor Xia glanced at him and asked, "Are you waiting for the Wang family to take action?"

Li Xuanjing was silent for a moment and said: "I don't understand what your Majesty said..."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to pretend in front of me. You killed the Wang family's legitimate son at night. Didn't you just force the Wang family to take action? Take this opportunity to severely damage the Wang family and avenge your past. You followed. In my twenty years, others don’t understand you, how can I not understand you?”

Li Xuanjing did not speak.

Emperor Xia didn't show any sullen expression. He paused and said, "If you don't move, it's done. If you move, you won't leave any room. Kill them all. No wonder people call you King Li Yan."

After saying that, he changed his voice, his eyes became deep, and he said slowly: "However, this is indeed a good excuse. In the past few years, the Wang family has produced two martial arts semi-sages. I don't know what their surnames are in this world." It's time to remind them, as for Li Long and Li Xing..."

The expression on his face became complicated, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These two traitors..."

…

Chang'an.

For ordinary people, today is an ordinary day.

For the courtiers, it is a bit special. Today is the mid-month court meeting, and officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an must get up early to attend.

It should have been a normal court meeting, but the atmosphere seemed extremely strange.

In the past, there were many dignitaries who rarely went to court for anything, but today there were many, and they were all upper-class dignitaries.

Among them, everyone can only stand at the back.

In front of them, there were also the Duke, the Prince, and the Prince.

The prince overseeing the country this month is the King of Han.

In the past court meetings, except for the prince who oversees the country, the other princes would not appear.

But today, except for Prince Rui and Prince Gong who did not go to the hall, there were five princes in the hall.

King of Han, King You, King Xin, King Xuan, King Ji... In recent years, this kind of scene of kings in the same dynasty is a spectacle that can only be seen in great dynasties.

Just now, King You read a memorial in public.

In the memorial, a few days ago, Li Xuanjing forcibly removed the murderer of Fengyang County from Zongzheng Temple as an introduction, detailing dozens of major and minor crimes against Li Xuanjing, the minister of Dali Temple.

These include forming parties for personal gain, excluding dissenters, exercising power and dictatorship, abusing power, taking bribes and perverting the law, murdering loyal people, disregarding human life, killing innocent people indiscriminately, harming the country and the people, and deceiving the Holy Spirit...

Each charge has corresponding detailed evidence, and there is more than one.

It only took King You an hour to finish reading this memorial.

At the end, he asked the three provinces to rectify the imperial court, severely punish traitors and sycophants, restore peace to the imperial court, and restore a clear sky to the people.

In the past, there were many people who impeached Li Xuanjing.

But never once has it been as powerful as this time.

After King You finished playing, King Xin, King Xuan and King Ji also expressed their support.

Four of the eight supervising princes stepped forward.

Then a group of dignitaries seconded the proposal.

The county kings include Ruyang County Prince, Dingping County Prince, Xingyang County Prince and Dongping County Prince.

The Dukes include Le'an County Duke, Jinyang County Duke, Xinping County Duke and Linru County Duke.

The marquis include Shouyang Marquis, Lantian Marquis, Huaiyang Marquis, Yunyang Marquis and Fengyang Marquis. As for those earls, viscounts and the like, they have no qualifications to stand up.

Following these dignitaries, some ministers also stood up.

Almost all officials from Jingzhao Mansion Office and Zongzheng Temple were dispatched, headed by Qing Zongzheng Temple and Jingzhao Yin.

There are two people from Zhongshu She, Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Zuosi Langzhong from Zhongshu Province, and a Huangmen Shilang from Menxia Province, both of whom are Shizhong.

Officials from the Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Weiwei Temple also stood up. Among the six ministries, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the right doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War...

More than half of the three provinces, six ministries, and nine temples stood up to support You Wang.

The Honglu Temple had almost no presence. The Dali Temple was Li Xuanjing's territory. The Sinong Temple was not interested in anything other than growing vegetables. Except for the Ministry of Justice, the three provinces, six ministries, and nine temples were all present.

The Censorate, which had always impeached Li Xuanjing the most, remained silent in this group impeachment.

This was the first time since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty that so many powerful officials impeached one person.

Even His Majesty, facing such an occasion, I am afraid he could not act alone.

It's a pity that the Dali Temple Minister didn't come to court today, otherwise, the court officials would know whether the Dali Temple Minister, who was always calm, could remain calm in such an occasion.

Facing the impeachment of the crowd, as the regent prince, the King of Han did not make any decision in the court.

He announced that he would discuss it next time because the matter was serious.

As the decision-making body of the court, all the pressure came to the Zhongshu Province after the court was dismissed.

Zhongshu Province.

On the table in front of the two Zhongshu assistants, there were piles of memorials.

They looked at each other with solemn expressions and solemn eyes.

These memorials came from the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, the states and counties in the capital, countless dignitaries in Chang'an, petitions from students in the academy, and even the two Zhongshu Sheren of the Zhongshu Province submitted memorials.

Just like the situation in the court just now, all the memorials pointed to the same person.

Dali Temple Minister Li Xuanjing.

These impeachment memorials were just a continuation of the matter in the court just now.

In such a situation, even impeachment of the two prime ministers would be more than enough.

Under the promotion of the Jinyang Wang family, the King of Han and the King of You rarely joined forces and expanded the situation to such an extent. They must have a big plan to target Li Xuanjing.

Considering the situation at the court meeting just now, I am afraid that something big is going to happen.

The Zhongshu Province is now facing a choice.

Complying with the King of Han and the King of You will inevitably cause dissatisfaction to His Majesty.

But with so many memorials submitted, they can't pretend not to see them.

This puts them in a dilemma.

Just as they were struggling, two figures slowly walked into the government office.

Seeing this, the two bowed one after another.

"See the Zhongshu Ling."

"See the Shangshu Ling."

The left and right prime ministers do not necessarily attend all court meetings.

They were not in the hall at the court meeting just now.

The right prime minister walked to the table, picked up a few memorials casually, flipped through them, and then threw them away, saying calmly: "Such a big battle, this is to clear the court, rare, rare..."

The left assistant minister of the Secretariat looked bitter and said: "Right prime minister, please stop talking nonsense, this matter has really become a big deal, what should we do?"

The right prime minister waved his hand and said: "Ask the Secretary of the Secretariat, Li Xuanjing is his disciple, whether to clear the house should be decided by him."

Another old man heard this and said lightly: "Since the right prime minister is interested, then immediately issue an edict to let the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Zongzheng Temple go to the Dali Temple to arrest people. If there is resistance, they can be killed on the spot."

The right prime minister was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "Are you really going to kill?"

Li Xuanjing made him extremely contradictory.

Sometimes, what he did made him want to chop his head off a hundred times.

But sometimes, his actions made him clap his hands and cheer.

Li Xuanjing was in the court, and he was so angry that he had a headache.

But if Li Xuanjing is really gone, the people of Chang'an will probably have to suffer again.

It's not good to have Li Xuanjing in the court.

But without Li Xuanjing, it will definitely get worse.

The left prime minister looked at him and asked, "Isn't that what the right prime minister meant?"

The right prime minister moved his lips and finally said, "In order to avoid the escalation of the situation, we have to arrest him, but we don't have to kill him on the spot. He is a third-rank official anyway. It's better to temporarily detain him in the Censorate and wait for your majesty to deal with him..."

The left prime minister looked at the two Zhongshu assistants and said, "Did you hear that? Just do what the right prime minister said."

After a while, the right prime minister stamped the edict, and then realized something. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the left prime minister, and said angrily, "You old fox..."

The Zhongshu Province's edict had just been drafted, and an official rushed in and said in horror, "My lords, it's not good, something happened outside!"

Something did happen in Chang'an.

After the court meeting, the officials and dignitaries who impeached Li Xuanjing in the hall did not return to their homes or yamen, but gathered at the gate of the palace.

Then, they walked along Chang'an Street.

These people were dignitaries, including officials from the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and various departments in the court.

Obviously, the court meeting impeachment was just the beginning of this action.

"Clear the emperor's side, punish the treacherous and corrupt!"

"Kill the treacherous ministers, and rectify the court order!"

The crowd shouted such slogans and walked on Chang'an Street. As they continued to move forward, the team continued to expand.

Figures continued to emerge from the mansions of the major dignitaries and officials to join the parade.

Some people who did not know the truth, seeing such a huge momentum, also boldly followed the crowd and shouted a few words at the top of their voices.

Almost at the same time, teams of students appeared from the large and small academies in Chang'an. They were filled with righteous indignation and excited. They shouted the same slogans, walked out of the academies, and marched in the same direction.

The people had never seen such a scene before. Most of them hid at home and stayed inside, only showing a pair of eyes behind the door or in front of the window.

The shops on the street also closed their doors one after another. Passers-by and peddlers saw it from a distance and immediately hid in the alleys.

At this moment, the slogans of "clear the emperor's side, punish the treacherous and flattering", "kill the treacherous ministers, and rectify the government" could be heard throughout Chang'an.

The Censorate and the Ministry of Justice had received the imperial edicts from the three provinces and hurriedly led their troops to Li's mansion.

In many government offices, officials were also distracted from work and kept an eye on the movements outside.

They would never encounter such a big event in their lifetime.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui stood at the door of the palace, listening to the deafening sound outside, with a look of shock on his face, and murmured: "No way, are they serious?"

There was a trace of worry on his face, and he murmured: "Li Xuanjing, Li Xuanjing, you must hold on, don't let me down..."

Prince Chun's Mansion

Prince Chun summoned all the palace soldiers and guards, hurriedly mounted his horse, and said, "Go to Li's Mansion!"

There was no one in the street in front of Li's Mansion.

As the parade teams appeared one after another, the empty streets were gradually surrounded by water.

The dark crowd was endless.

Prince You stood in front of Li's Mansion, and behind him stood Prince Xin, Prince Xuan, and Prince Ji.

Behind them were the Jingzhao Yin, the Zongzheng Temple Minister, many dignitaries and court officials.

Prince Han stood beside Prince You and said, "Calm down, calm down..."

But his persuasion only stayed on his lips.

The door of Li's Mansion was closed. Prince You looked at the plaque of Li's Mansion, waved his hand, and said, "Go in, clear the emperor's side, and punish the treacherous and flattering!"

"Clear the emperor's side, punish the treacherous and flattering!"

"Clear the emperor's side, punish the treacherous and flattering!"

As soon as his voice fell, the crowd responded.

"Wait!"

A shocked and angry voice came from behind.

Prince Chun arrived with his people, walked through the crowd, glared at Prince You and others, and asked, "Do you want to rebel?"

Prince You looked at him and said lightly, "No one wants to rebel. We just want to rectify the government, kill the traitor Li Xuanjing for my father, and restore peace to the court!"

Prince Chun blocked the door of Li's mansion and said angrily, "Without my father's order, you are rebelling!"

Compared with the crowd outside Li's mansion, the troops brought by Prince Chun were really insignificant. A group of students surrounded them, and they were caught in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating.

Prince You waved his hand, and someone took Prince Chun to one side.

Wang Yue led a few people forward and punched out, and the door of Li's mansion collapsed.

Compared with the tense atmosphere outside, the inside of Li's mansion was particularly relaxed and harmonious.

Two beautiful girls who looked exactly the same were surrounding a middle-aged woman, laughing and playing.

There were still some figures in various places in the courtyard, gathering in groups of three or two, talking and laughing quietly.

After Wang Yue walked into the courtyard, he seemed to be unable to hear the sounds outside.

Not as if, but really couldn't hear.

But the slogans of "clearing the emperor's side and punishing the treacherous" were so loud outside that he could see their trembling lips and spitting when he turned around. How could he not hear the sound when he was only a few steps away?

It was as if there was an invisible barrier separating the inside and outside of the mansion.

The movement from the door attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.

Everyone looked over.

It seemed that there was a substantial pressure coming, and Wang Yue and the people beside him couldn't help but take a few steps back. On the contrary, the King You and others who walked in later seemed to have no effect.

The pressure of more than ten masters, as masters, they could clearly feel it.

But the one who put the most pressure on Wang Yue was the middle-aged woman who never looked at them.

There was no fluctuation of true qi on her body, but she did not hide another kind of aura on her body.

Wang Yue would never forget this aura, which was exactly the same as the aura of the two ancestors of the family.

How could there be a sixth realm in the Li Mansion? Did he invite the leader of the Sanqing Sect!

He wanted to retreat, but found that he could not move.

King You could not sense the master, let alone the sixth realm. After entering the Li Mansion, his eyes were searching for Li Xuanjing's figure.

He soon found Li Xuanjing.

He was playing chess with someone at the stone table in the courtyard.

King You naturally knew that Li Xuanjing liked to pretend to be calm no matter what the situation was, but at this time, he still had the mind to play chess, which was too much.

He walked slowly to Li Xuanjing's side, looked at him indifferently, and was about to speak, but suddenly found that the person who was sitting with his back to him and playing chess with Li Xuanjing looked familiar.

He walked to the side and took a look. His face changed instantly and he said in a lost voice: "Father!"

Prince Chun walked in quickly. When he saw the familiar figure, he was slightly startled, and then his face immediately showed joy.

Outside Li's house.

Prince Han waited for a while and found that Prince You had not come out. He could not help but walked in and murmured: "Why did it take so long..."

Prince Xin, Prince Xuan, and Prince Ji also walked in.

But after they went in, not only did no one come out, but even no sound came out.

Something seemed to be wrong.

A county prince finally couldn't help but walked into Li's house and murmured: "Why didn't anyone come out? Let me see what's going on..."

Several princes, a group of dignitaries, and many officials entered the Li Mansion, but did not come out for a long time.

The people waiting outside were shouting slogans so loudly that their voices almost became hoarse, and their voices gradually became quieter.

The originally impassioned slogan became a little weak and lost its momentum.

Finally, after they couldn't shout anymore, some people wanted to go in to watch the fun. A young man walked out of Li's house and stopped them with his hand, saying: "Don't go in, I can't kneel down inside..."

As his words fell, there was a sudden vibration on the ground, stirring up a layer of fine smoke.

Just when people thought it was an earthquake, the outermost crowd found that they were surrounded by a group of guards wearing black armor.

Although the people inside could not see the scene outside, they found that there were suddenly some armored figures on the roofs of the surrounding houses.

"Custodes!"

"Who brought the imperial army here!"

"What are the Forbidden Army doing here, arresting Li Xuanjing?"

The common people and college students who were joining in the fun might not know who those people were, but all the powerful officials present knew them.

The Forbidden Army is His Majesty's personal guard. Although His Majesty does not need anyone to protect him, wherever the Forbidden Army appears, it is within the reach of His Majesty's will.

The appearance of the imperial guards shows that His Majesty is aware of the matter, but I don't know how His Majesty will deal with it.

At this time, there was finally movement at the door of Li Mansion.

Emperor Xia walked out of Li's house and said, "It was such an enjoyable game of chess. Although I lost, I also lost happily."

After everyone was stunned for a moment, no matter they were dignitaries or officials, they all knelt down and shouted: "See your majesty!"

At this moment, they were shocked and confused.

Why is Your Majesty here?

Although the academy students and the common people who were joining in the fun did not know the emperor, they did not hesitate to kneel down when they saw the person in front of him kneeling.

Emperor Xia glanced at the officials in front of the Li Mansion and said, "You are not working in the Yamen during office hours. What are you doing here? The imperial court has given you a salary and is not for you to hang out. Since you don't like going to the Yamen, There’s no need to go there anymore.”

This understatement undoubtedly completely ended their official careers.

The officials knelt on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to answer.

Emperor Xia walked back to Li's Mansion. At this moment, a large area of ​​Li's Mansion was already kneeling down in darkness.

He walked to the stone table and sat down. He looked at King Han and King You kneeling in front of him and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

King You and King Han looked at each other. In the end, it was King Han who spoke first: "Li Xuanjing controlled the government and acted against the will. He did not care about the court or the law at all. The courtiers and the people have been grudges for a long time. Today, they even caused riots and processions in Chang'an. My son has the responsibility of supervising the country this month, so he came to Li's Mansion to check on the situation."

King You followed up and said: "Father, there are hundreds of papers to impeach Li Xuanjing today. It shows how deep the resentment of the courtiers and the people is against him. This action of my son is also for the court and the world..."

Emperor Xia asked: "When you murdered the prince, was it for the sake of the court and the world?"

His words were calm, but when they fell in the ears of King Han and King You, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

King Chun, King Xin, King Xuan, and King Ji turned their heads at the same time and looked at them in extreme shock.

Not far away, Wang Yue was kneeling at the door. Although he could not move his body, his heart was already filled with turmoil.

King You and King Han plot to kill the prince?

How is that possible?

The King of Han actually hid such a big thing from the Wang family!

The officials and dignitaries kneeling in the courtyard also had expressions of extreme astonishment on their faces.

At this moment, it is no longer important to clean up the emperor and punish the traitors.

Conspired to kill the prince, King You and King of Han plotted to kill the prince?

How could such a thing happen!

Didn't the prince pass away due to illness back then?

After they came to their senses, there was no longer any surprise in their hearts, only fear.

The King of Han and King You conspired to kill the prince.

Even if they were princes, this was an unforgivable crime.

And today they are following King Han and King You to force King Qing to side... Your Majesty, you don't think they are the accomplices of King Han and King You, right?

King Han and King You were so frightened that they completely forgot about Li Xuanjing. King You said in horror: "Father, what are you talking about? How could my son murder the prince? You must not listen to the slanderous words of treacherous people! "

The King of Han also immediately said: "Yes, Father, this must be Li Xuanjing's conspiracy. You must not be deceived by him!"

Emperor Xia looked at them and said calmly: "He Dong, Xu Zhi, Gu Wenhan, Zheng Tianxing, Wu Zongguang, Xue Xue, Zeng Yan, Sun Jin, Xie Xiaoyu, Ding Fang... Why, I need to tell you how you murdered the prince. Yes, say it one by one in front of everyone present?"

The bodies of King Han and King You went limp at the same time.

All they said was that they were plotting to kill the prince, and they still had a glimmer of hope.

Saying these names one by one shows that the father already knows everything and there is no possibility of quibbles.

They thought they were hunters today, but unexpectedly, they were the prey.

As King Han and King You fell, the kneeling figures in the courtyard also fell.

It's over.

This is the only thought that goes through some people's minds before they faint.

Although the Crown Prince and the other princes are all His Majesty's children, the Crown Prince and the other princes have completely different meanings to His Majesty.

The prince is the only heir that His Majesty had with the late Queen before he ascended the throne. His Majesty's affection for him is naturally not comparable to that of other princes.

If not, he would not have become completely decadent after the prince's death, ignoring government affairs, pursuing immortality, and no longer establishing a prince.

Conspiracy to kill the prince is equivalent to conspiracy. King You and King Han are so bold...

Li Qian, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, also knelt among the crowd.

How could he not witness the killing of Li Xuanjing with his own eyes.

He failed to witness Li Xuanjing, but he witnessed something else.

The prince was actually designed to be killed by his father?

His father had always been a timid and cowardly figure in his eyes.

I never expected that my timid and cowardly father could do such a bold thing.

At this moment, in addition to the fear of the future, for the first time, he felt the admiration for his father in his heart.

This conflicting mood made him feel complicated and unspeakable for a moment.

Outside Li's Mansion, just when everyone's kneeling legs were almost numb, a figure holding a whisk came out of Li's Mansion, and in a high-pitched voice, he said loudly: "Li Long, King of Han, Li Xing, King of You." , the crime of murdering the prince cannot be pardoned. He should be immediately deprived of his position as prince, demoted to a commoner, and escorted to Dali Temple to await his fate..."

The powerful officials who were still kneeling outside looked confused and shocked when they heard this.

What plot to kill the prince, isn't he here to kill Li Xuanjing?

Students from major academies also had confused expressions on their faces. Obviously, they did not expect such a result.

Even if the emperor showed up to protect Li Xuanjing, they would dare to argue and argue.

But out of nowhere, a plot to murder the prince came up, and everyone didn't know what to do.

At this time, the eunuch continued: "Students from all major academies can leave on their own because they want to be deceived by others. The rest will be handed over to Dali Temple until it is found out whether they are related to the rebellion of King You of Han Dynasty. , and then deal with it..."

It was originally meant to collect people's heads, but now it may turn into giving away people's heads.

When they arrived at Dali Temple, they fell into the hands of Li Xuanjing. Whether it had anything to do with the rebellion was not up to them.
