Jade of Rebirth

Chapter 168: Heavenly Priest Messenger

Emperor Zhang Wu frowned slightly, and slowly raised his head. His eyes were looking in the direction of King Jing, and he said in a cold tone, "Third brother, how do you explain?"

Prince Jing saluted Emperor Zhang Wu respectfully, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Father, this secret letter was only obtained from the fifth prince. I'm afraid I have to ask the fifth prince about its origin?"

Yu Li smiled and said sarcastically: "His Royal Highness Jing, this matter is no small matter, it concerns His Royal Highness Zhao's reputation and life, His Highness doesn't ask what is indiscriminate, and does not investigate clearly to use it as a notarization in the court, isn't it too rash?" As he said that, he paused, and then said, "Or you... you thought you could use this to bring His Royal Highness Zhao to justice?"

"What do you mean?!" King Jing swept his eyes away, and stared at Yu Li viciously with his long eyes, "You are a male wife who was born as a concubine, what right do you have to be presumptuous here?"

"Third brother!" Yuan Heng took a step forward, blocking Yu Li behind him, his usually gentle face was extremely cold, without any trace of warmth at all, "No matter what background my princess is, he is also my wife now, You insulted him in front of me, where do you put me? Or are you really going to be my enemy?"

King Jing wanted to fight him again, but was reprimanded by Emperor Zhang Wu:

"Shut up! What's the proper way?!" Seeing that the three of them stopped talking, he said slowly, "The most important thing now is where did this secret letter come from, and who is going to use it to frame Lao Jiu?"

Seeing this, King Ning looked at Feng Feiyuan and said, "Father, since the third brother said he got it from the fifth prince, why not just ask the fifth prince."

Seeing this, Feng Feiyuan curled up the smile that seemed to be a smile, stood up and saluted slowly, and said to Emperor Zhang Wu: "His Majesty the Emperor, this letter was given to me by His Royal Highness King Jing."

As soon as he spoke, the audience was in an uproar!

His Royal Highness King Jing, is it a thief calling for a thief to frame and frame King Zhao? !

"Are you talking nonsense? When did I give you this secret letter? It was clearly you who gave it to me!" Jing Wang suddenly changed his face, and he was no longer calm and calm before. He pointed at Feng Feiyuan and was extremely annoyed. The evidence proves that I gave it to you?" Then he said, "Oh, I see, you clearly came to our country to provoke us to pray for the harmony of the royal family... You first used me to frame the ninth brother, and if the frame failed, you came to frame me, Yes or no?"

Emperor Zhang Wu also found it unbelievable when he heard it, but Feng Feiyuan gave him a good impression, and the other party was a foreign guest, so he held back his anger and said, "Fifth Prince, do you have evidence for this matter?"

"Yes." Feng Feiyuan said, and said to the attendants who followed behind, "Bring the things up!"

Everyone followed his gaze, and saw an attendant dressed in the style of Tiansi Kingdom come up with a wooden box, stood in front of Feng Feiyuan, and then opened the wooden box to Emperor Zhang Wu, and everyone stretched their necks Looking at it, I saw that the wooden box was decorated and carved exquisitely, and there was a very shiny night pearl inside!

Feng Feiyuan pointed at the Ye Mingzhu and said, "Your Majesty, this Ye Mingzhu is the evidence that His Royal Highness King Jing bribed me. My nephew has also been framed in the country, so I don't want to frame His Highness Zhao Wang, but I am a foreign guest, so I don't agree to it. Wang was afraid that King Jing would harm me, so he pretended to agree, hoping to reveal his true colors when the incident happened."

King Jing sneered when he heard the words: "I thought it was some kind of evidence, what kind of evidence is this night pearl? There are many rare treasures in our country, and there are many night pearls. I am not the only one who owns them. Maybe some other princes and ministers have them too. How about you?" How can I prove it's mine?"

What Jing Wang said was natural and reasonable. After all, there was no engraving on the Ye Mingzhu, so why should it be said to be his?

Everyone observed Zhang Wudi's expression and knew that Zhang Wudi was also skeptical.

At this moment, a voice was heard saying:

"What if I have proof too?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw the prince in bright yellow brocade clothes slowly standing up from his seat, with a sneer on his face, he glanced at King Jing contemptuously, then bowed his hands to Emperor Zhang Wu and said: " Royal father, my son also has something to say."

Emperor Zhang Wu was also a little surprised, but he still waved his hand and said, "Just tell me."

The prince's feminine face was calm, and he said in a gentle voice: "One of my servants accidentally discovered that the third brother's bodyguard paid a lot of money to buy a craftsman who made a seal. I thought that my third brother was destroying his gold seal." It needs to be repaired, but someone reminded the minister that the matter of the seal is not trivial, and it is better to be cautious, so the minister kept an eye on it and asked the craftsman for questioning, and the craftsman confessed that the third brother gave it to King Zhao. The picture of the seal, let him copy one... I didn't know the use of the third brother's imitation of the ninth brother's gold seal, so I kept it a secret, and now that this matter comes out, I can't hide it."

As he spoke, he looked at King Jing with a gloomy smile, and said in a triumphant tone, "If Emperor Father wants to call him in for questioning in person, I will send someone to bring him here..."

After Emperor Zhang Wu heard this, Long Yan was furious, and suddenly jumped up: "Yuan Min! What else can you say?!"

Usually the emperor calls the ranking of the princes, but now he calls the full name of King Jing, which is a manifestation of his extreme anger.

King Jing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, my son and minister were wronged, wronged..."

"Oh, do you mean that the prince, the ninth younger brother and the fifth prince came together to wrong you?" The prince looked down at him condescendingly, "You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, Qin Huan, the Duke of Qin who was sitting below, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this matter. After all, His Highness King Jing is a prince, please consider carefully."

"Presumptuous!" The prince suddenly turned back and glared, and reprimanded loudly, "Qin Guogong, you said that there are many doubts, are you doubting the prince's words? Do you think the prince deliberately designed to frame Yuan Min? You must know that he sent this secret letter himself. We didn't force him to use the ground to frame Lao Jiu!"

Although Qin Guogong is arrogant and domineering, but facing the crown prince at this moment, he only dares to speak Weiwei repeatedly: "I dare not..."

Zheng Huai, the doctor of imperial history, who is the grandfather of King Jing, stepped forward to intercede: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing is still young, and he has done stupid things. Please see that he has hard work and no credit. Light hair falls on him..."

Seeing this, Yu Li hurriedly stepped forward and said to Emperor Zhang Wu: "Father, Doctor Zheng is wrong, King Jing is young, but His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is much younger than him, but he has always been modest and polite, and has never had the heart to kill people. What's more, Doctor Zheng, as a doctor of censors, when other officials make mistakes, do you forgive him because of his junior qualifications?"

Seeing that Zheng Huai was speechless, he turned back to look at Emperor Zhang Wu, saluted and said, "Father, do you still remember that someone poisoned the wine in the wine on New Year's Eve and killed the minister? That time it was settled because there was no evidence. , Because of this, someone has repeatedly harmed His Royal Highness Zhao Wang! Although His Royal Highness Zhao is young and inexperienced, he is also a righteous prince. He is your son. He has been targeted and murdered again and again. Is it too embarrassing?"

Emperor Zhang Wu was already angry with King Jing, but now that he heard Yu Li mentioning the incident of poisoning on New Year's Eve, he naturally put the last incident on King Jing's head, so he became more and more annoyed, and ignored Zheng Huai. With a green face, he said to King Jing: "Nie Zi! You have murdered your brother many times, will you kill your father and usurp the throne next time?! Someone, take him back to the palace and take care of him. He is not allowed to go out without my order, and no one is allowed to go out." Let someone visit, wait until he has reflected enough!"

When King Jing saw this, he felt as if he heard a thunderbolt. He walked up to his knees in amazement and unwillingly, and shouted: "Father, my son is wronged. Father, my son should not be put under house arrest. I want to see my mother and concubine, and I want to see my grandmother." ..."

Emperor Zhang Wu turned his face away unmoved.

King Jing was quickly dragged down by the guards and disappeared.Everyone also understood in their hearts that the competition among the princes is fierce now, and once King Jing is pulled down, it will be very difficult for him to have a chance to make a comeback.
