royal husband

"My Majesty, please make the eldest prince the crown prince, so as to rectify the foundation of the country." The courtiers who supported the eldest prince seemed to be discussing it. After the minister asked for the crown prince, the other courtiers who supported the eldest prince echoed one after another. .

The eyes of Helian Yuxi who was sitting on the side and Ying Zihui who was pretending to be calm were full of tension.

In order to allow Ying Zihui to sit on the crown prince in one fell swoop, they secretly planned for two years, and even planned to kill Zhou Lian and his family, the real hero of the war.

Ying Zhengjing rubbed his chin, "Well, Hui'er did a good job this time, so do the other Qing family think Hui'er is worthy of the crown prince?"

Even though Ying Zhengjing seemed to be thinking about it and asked the opinions of other ministers who had not expressed their opinions, in fact Ying Zhengjing was very disgusted with the fact that the courtiers united to make Ying Zihui the crown prince, and at the same time he was suspicious.

Ying Zihui has already had so many ministers speaking for him before he takes the position of prince. If he is really made the prince in the future, won't it affect his own political power?

Shen Chaoyan stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think the eldest prince can afford the position of crown prince."

When He Lianyao heard this, his complexion sank immediately, and he said in a tone of hidden anger, "Master Shen, your words are misleading, the Great Prince's recovery of the city captured by Qian Luo is indeed a great achievement of the Great Xia. , is the perfect candidate for the crown prince, so is it possible that Mr. Shen has someone more suitable than the eldest prince?"

Shen Chaoyan, I knew you would not settle down, but so what, the one who has won the battle now is the first prince, not the second prince you support.

He Lianyao looked at Shen Chaoyan very unkindly.

Shen Chaoyan is Shen Qianxue's older brother, much younger than He Lianyao, but it's just such a person who took the position of the head of the six departments, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and firmly suppressed him as the Minister of the Household Department, and now he wants to speak out to stop him It's no wonder Helian Yao is not angry when his grandson ascends to the position of son.

"Lord Helian, if you want others to know, you must do nothing yourself."

Shen Chaoyan glanced at Ying Zihui meaningfully.

Hearing Shen Chaoyan's words for the first time, He Lianyao's back stiffened immediately, and subconsciously retorted, "Master Shen, what exactly do you want to say?"

Did Shen Chaoyan know about our assassination of Zhou Lian?No, I concealed this matter very much, even past the emperor's eyeliner. It is impossible for Shen Chaoyan to know, but why would he say such a thing?

Ying Zhengjing also narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Shen Aiqing, I also want to know the meaning of your words."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen..."

Shen Chaoyan interrupted He Lianyao's words, and said decisively, "Back to the emperor, I found that Lord Helian and Concubine Shu are collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country."

Collaborating with the enemy?

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as Shen Chaoyan said these words, the people present were immediately speechless, and those supporters of the First Prince did not dare to speak out.

After all, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime. If it is true, wouldn't those who help the First Prince also follow suit?

Ying Zihui himself was also taken aback.

He just calculated Zhou Lian's family with his mother and grandfather. When did he collude with the enemy and betray the country?

Although He Lianyao was also frightened by Shen Chaoyan's words, he soon said with a framed face, "Your Majesty, I have devoted my whole life to Daxia. Shen Chaoyan is clearly framing my minister, and I asked the emperor to be my minister."

Damn it, what kind of tricks is Shen Chaoyan playing?

Although He Lianyao did not do anything to collude with the enemy and betray the country, for some reason, Shen Chaoyan's words made He Lianyao feel very uneasy, and he even stopped calling Master Shen, and directly called out Shen Chaoyan's name.

"Your Majesty, this concubine and her father are wronged. Collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country is a felony. Even if I give my concubine the courage, I will not dare." He Lian Yuxi's eyes turned red immediately, and she was about to cry. He glared at Shen Chaoyan, "Master Shen, I have no grievances with you, why did you wrong me like this?"

Seeing his mother defending, Ying Zihui also wanted to speak, but before he could speak, Helian Yuxi stared back.

"Shen Aiqing, do you have evidence?"

Ying Zhengjing asked casually, but Ying Zhengjing's tone was obviously cold.

"Your Majesty, the matter is of great importance. If there is no evidence, I dare not speak out." Shen Chaoyan took out a letter with obvious burn marks on the surface, and handed it to the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch got the letter and immediately presented it to Ying Zhengjing.

Ying Zhengjing took the letter, opened it in front of everyone, and read it carefully.

I saw that the envelope containing the letter was burnt a lot, but luckily the contents inside were still clearly visible.

The content of the letter is astonishing, and it is still a contract.

It clearly stated that He Lianyao, He Lian Yuxi and Zhou Lian conspired together with Qian Luo to win Zihui to win the crown prince in the future.

Shen Chaoyan continued to cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I found this letter by chance when I went to the General Zhou's mansion to pay homage a few days ago. It was God who favored me in Daxia, so I was able to use the burned general's mansion to find evidence. .”

Helian Yao said angrily, "Shen Chaoyan, you framed him. My Helian family has never had much contact with General Zhou. How come there are letters?"

Shen Chaoyan looked at He Lianyao, and asked, "Lord He Lian, did you send someone to General Zhou's mansion a few days ago?"

"Zhou Lian died in this battle. I sent someone over to offer condolences. What's the problem?" He Lianyao turned back, and immediately cupped his hands at Chaoying Zhengjing, "Your Majesty, Shen Chaoyan..."

"enough."

Ying Zhengjing clenched his right hand into a fist, interrupting He Lianyao's words.

The word 'enough' carries obvious anger.

He Lianyao also saw that Ying Zhengjing's appearance clearly believed the content of the letter, and quickly defended himself, "The emperor's minister is really wronged. I never wrote any letter to Zhou Lian. It's nothing but a false accusation by Shen Chaoyan."

Helian Yuxi also panicked, "Your Majesty, the concubine and the concubine's father really did not collude with the enemy and betray the country, please the emperor to investigate clearly."

"Up to now, do you still dare to accuse me of framing?" Ying Zhengjing ignored He Lian Yuxi, looked at Yang Shaochuan indifferently, and said, "Yang Shaochuan, show the letter to He Lianyao."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yang Shaochuan took the letter respectfully, walked up to He Lianyao, and gave the letter to He Lianyao.

He Lianyao quickly grabbed the letter and opened it.

This time, the whole person froze on the spot.

"Father (Master Helian)?"

He Lian Yuxi and the others looked at He Lianyao nervously, as if putting all their hopes on He Lianyao.

"How could this be...how could this be..." Helian Yao couldn't believe it, because this letter was indeed a letter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the handwriting on the letter was clearly the same as his handwriting, but Helian Yao was sure of himself No letter like that was ever written.

Ying Zhengjing patted the table next to him heavily, "He Lianyao, are you convicted?"
