Chapter 390

"Your Majesty, this is Lord Liu Changyu, the magistrate of Pingcheng. According to him, a special organization called the Hero Pavilion suddenly emerged in Pingcheng five years ago. This organization specializes in oppressing the people and looting their homes. Five years ago, the Seventh Prince was still in the feudal Pingcheng Why didn't the Seventh Prince report the emergence of such an outrageous organization in Fengdi Pingcheng under his jurisdiction? And according to Mr. Liu, he had written to the emperor many times to report the Hero Pavilion, but he did not get a response from the capital for a long time. The investigation revealed that Lord Liu's memorial was intercepted before it even reached the capital, if my guess is correct, this must be related to the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty, please look into it!"

Nangong Yizhi, Ling Muer, and the prefect of Pingcheng knelt before the emperor.

On the main hall, civil and military officials stood on both sides, and everyone whispered to each other when they heard this, and there were quite a lot of discussions about this matter.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious when he heard the words, but his old illness relapsed in a fit of anger, and he began to cough violently, "Ahem, there is no king in the world, such things happen within the scope of my jurisdiction. Seventh prince, you , what do you want to explain."

The unhurried Qin Xuanting twitched his lips into a smile. After looking at Nangong Yizhi and Ling Muer from the corner of his eye, he shook his head and took a step forward.

"Father, what is the Hero Pavilion, I don't understand it. When Pingcheng was enfeoffed, I have always fulfilled my duties and managed Pingcheng in an orderly manner. All the people in Pingcheng have witnessed this. As for the Hero Pavilion that the son of Nangong said has something to do with my son , is purely fabricated by him out of thin air, please father and emperor to learn from it!"

Knowing that Qin Xuanting would not admit it, Ling Muer immediately stood up, "Return to the emperor, the Hero Pavilion has existed in Pingcheng for five years, and it has already caused panic to the people of Pingcheng. Master Liu also said that the Seventh Prince brought people to suppress the Hero Pavilion together. , although the result failed, it can be seen that the Seventh Prince knew the existence of the Hero Pavilion, but why did he deny it today?"

Hearing this, the emperor's sharp eyes shot over again, and when he looked at Qin Xuanting, there was disappointment in his eyes, "Old Qi, how do you explain it?"

"Father, there is nothing wrong with accusing you of any crime. I will naturally not admit to things that I have not done. Although I don't know where the second wife got the news and why did I frame him, but since the second sister-in-law said yes What Mr. Liu, the prefect of Pingcheng, said, so why don't the emperor ask Mr. Liu if he said such a thing, or is it all made up by the second emperor's wife!"

When his name was called, Liu Changyu hurriedly knelt on the ground. "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, and the humble minister will know everything without saying anything."

"Liu Changyu, you have been the magistrate of Pingcheng for more than ten years. You really said that there were bandits occupying you? You have to be honest, otherwise, I will cut off your head!" The emperor was furious. Fishy and salty.

The old eunuch on the side hurriedly handed over the tea.

Liu Changyu hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor again when he heard the words, "Your Majesty is aware that I have been fulfilling my duty in Pingcheng these years, governing the prosperity of Pingcheng, and collecting taxes every year is far ahead. Credit. As for, as for the Hero Pavilion that the second concubine said just now..."

Liu Changyu paused, looked down at Ling Mu'er cautiously, then looked at Qin Xuanting quietly, and finally shook his head, "I don't know what the Hero Pavilion is, and I don't understand what the second concubine and Nangong Shizi are talking about. What, please look into it, Your Majesty."

"What did you say?" Ling Muer was instantly shocked when she heard this, and immediately squatted in front of Liu Changyu, "Master Liu, do you know what you are talking about!"

"Second Prince Concubine, do you know what you are talking about!" Master Liu raised his eyes, his expression confused and meaningless, "What about the Hero Pavilion, what accusations against the Seventh Prince, you should not talk nonsense in front of the holy car, even though I don't know you Why do you have such a deep hatred with the Seventh Prince that you slander and frame her so badly, but this humble minister will not join you in doing evil."

As soon as Liu Changyu's words came out, there was an uproar in the surroundings again.

He said a few words but excused himself and the Seventh Prince's innocence, and even accused Ling Mu'er of deliberately framing the Seventh Prince in a disguised form.

Ling Mu'er only felt a burst of fire rushing to Tianling Gai in an instant, "Liu Changyu, you didn't say that before, you told us everything about the Hero Pavilion, you, how can you bite back?"

"What's the backbiting? Could it be that the Second Sister-in-Law was exposed by Master Liu and said something out of hand?" The Seventh Prince sneered and immediately looked at the Emperor, "Father, although I don't know when I offended the Second Sister-in-law, but I also ask Father to be clear, this minister really doesn't know about the Hero Pavilion in Pingcheng, and the prefect of Pingcheng can also testify for this minister, all this is the second emperor's wife who fabricated it out of thin air to frame this minister."

"I didn't!" Ling Mu'er immediately knelt down in front of the emperor. She was very grateful that she had given the emperor the pills last night to maintain his sanity. Otherwise, the emperor would be so confused that he would arrest her together, "Your majesty, the seventh prince and I We have never had any enmity, so how could we frame him for no reason? It is really because we found something wrong during this trip to Pingcheng, so we brought the prefect back to Beijing to return to his command! The sudden rise of the Hero Pavilion in Pingcheng, everyone in Pingcheng You know, the emperor can randomly select the people to conduct investigations. Also, I suspect that the Hero Pavilion was established by the Seventh Prince in order to rely on the Hero Pavilion to overwhelm the people in order to obtain money, and the reason why he needs so much silver is because he secretly Privately set up an army-team. Your Majesty, don't let such rebellious people with bad intentions let you go, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Ling Muer's impassioned words, the Seventh Prince only felt it was amused, "Second Emperor's Sister-in-Law, how did this Prince offend you, you want to frame me like this! No one in the court who knows how to build an army without permission is the one Second Emperor Brother, you are too impatient to just pull a scapegoat for Second Emperor Brother to get rid of the crime, right?"

"That's right, Second Prince Concubine, you not only framed the Seventh Prince, you even framed an old official who has been loyal to the emperor all his life and never had any intentions. You are too much." Liu Changyu stood up in time when he received someone's eyes, and he was completely overwhelmed. Ling Muer slapped her hard.

"Your Majesty, this is not the case."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Nangong Yizhi immediately pointed to Liu Changyu, "Lord Liu, although I don't know why you refused to admit what you said before you came to the court, but if you have any difficulties, as long as you say it, the emperor will make the decision for you. Are you having any problems?"

"Weichen..." Liu Changyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Xuanting.

"What is the meaning of Nangong Shizi's words? Prefect Liu is just telling the truth. Could it be that there is a reason for framing the Second Emperor's Sister-in-law? Isn't it wrong to frame me?"

Qin Xuanting snorted coldly, "We all know that Prince Nangong and Brother Erhuang have a good relationship, and we can understand how you and Sister-in-law Erhuang want to exonerate Brother Second Emperor, but that is the charge of treason after all, Father Huang Shengming , even if the two of you find any reason to quibble, you will not let the treasonous minister go!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Xuanting turned around, "Father, the second emperor's brother conspired to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and now he wants to confuse others to frame his son, please return to the father to take down Nangong Shizi and the second emperor's wife!"

"Qin Xuanting, you..." Ling Mu'er was in a hurry, disregarding Qin Xuanting's identity as the prince, and bluntly speaking his name, which aroused the emperor's fury.

"Enough!" The emperor Longyan was furious, and he slammed his fist on the dragon chair, "Shut up, everyone, how can you make noise here!"

The emperor's angry eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Ling Mu'er, "Ling Mu'er, I promised you ten days to investigate and clear up Chen'er's grievances, but if you frame innocent people at will, I'm afraid Take it back!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Seeing the Emperor's anger, Ling Mu'er knew that now was not the time to be brave with him, "Your Majesty, even though Mu'er is the second concubine, how could she frame the Seventh Prince without any grievances? If I really If you want to frame others, you have so many princes, why don't I frame others, but the Seventh Prince?"

Seeing that the emperor's eyes relaxed a lot, Ling Muer looked at Liu Changyu again, she was very sure that this person must be threatened to some extent, and she was afraid that if she continued to entangle with him, she would not get any useful news.

"Your Majesty, Shao Chen is innocent, he has never had any intention of rebellion, please give Muer time to continue to let Muer investigate!"

Fearing that the emperor would agree, Qin Xuanting hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Father is wise, father, someone dares to set up an army-team privately to plot rebellion. If we hadn't discovered it in advance, I am afraid that the current capital would have been in chaos. For those who plan to rebel Father should act decisively."

"What does it mean to make a quick decision? Did the Seventh Emperor want Father to kill Shao Chen? Shao Chen is your imperial brother, why are you so eager to kill him? Could it be, what are you covering up?" Ling Muer Said aggressively.

"Ling Mu'er, you..." Qin Xuanting was impatient and stood up abruptly.

Seeing this, Nangong Yizhi immediately protected Ling Mu'er behind him, "What does the Seventh Prince want to do? This is where the emperor decides everything above the court. Why, is the Seventh Prince trying to kill someone?"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious. Seeing the noisy people below, he felt that his body could no longer support him, but he knew he couldn't fall down.

"About who is behind the private training of soldiers, Nangong Yizhi, I order you to investigate immediately. I promised you ten days to clean up Shangguan Shaochen's grievances. If you can't find evidence to prove his innocence, then After ten days, he will be beheaded for public display, you have eight days left!"

"But Your Majesty..." Nangong Yizhi wanted to say something, but Ling Muer hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.

Nangong Yizhi immediately understood that Qin Xuanting must have caused this in advance, and I am afraid that it would be meaningless for him to say more today.

"The minister leads the order!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and when the tide was about to ebb, he made a show to the eunuch, and the eunuch immediately took out the imperial edict that he had prepared in advance.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, called and said, because the post has been vacant, and the concubines in the harem have no head. Concubine Min used to take care of me when I was seriously ill. Her virtuousness and virtue can be seen in the sun and the moon. I announced Concubine Telimin as the empress. The Empress Dowager Ceremony will be held at the end of the month, hereby!"

The emperor looked at the overjoyed Qin Xuanting, although his expression did not change, his tone eased a lot, "Let's go prepare with your mother and concubine."

"Yes, father!" Qin Xuanting was extremely excited, and after speaking, he looked at Ling Mu'er with provocative eyes.
