Chapter 432: For the emperor brother
Chapter 432 For the emperor brother
Xia Tingzhen's eyes finally retracted from the temple, and then looked at the crowd.
In a hurry, Ji Xiu, who only wore a regular suit, was surrounded by several officials talking——
Xia Tingzhen's slightly narrowed eyes had an ironic sneer.
These officials believe that they are very good at judging the situation, thinking that Ji Xiu has been in the limelight recently, and sent a confidant to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and this confidant is highly regarded by His Majesty...
After all, it is just a group of foolish fools who think they are clever.
And during this period of time, what Ji Xiu took away from him...It was time to return it.
……
In the Zen room, Emperor Qingming coldly looked at the King of Xiang who kept defending.
"There are no outsiders at this time, just between you and my brothers, are you still reluctant to tell the truth with me?"
"Brother emperor, this matter really has nothing to do with his ministers!" Wang Xiang was already sweating profusely: "This must be someone who wants to separate the courtiers and the emperor!"
Emperor Qingming straightened his lips.
Separation?
Who would choose to do this?
"...From the point of view of Brother Yichen, it may not be the second elder brother who has made sense of the empress dowager. She acted in such a play and deliberately slandered my mother and concubine."
Regarding this unsubstantiated guess, King Xiang didn't dare to be upright and confident, and his tone was a bit weak and authentic: "It is clear that there is a gap in the things of the year, but it is so difficult to see that, who knows what he is adding up... …Maybe it’s because you don’t see the emperor's brother trusting his ministers alone, so he wants to get rid of him."
Emperor Qingming sneered, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
At this time, Han Yan walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, the minister found this thing in a locked box under the bed in the concubine Sun's room."
Han Yan held a porcelain bottle in his hand, and said, “The minister has let the Royal Physician Zheng examine it and confirm that the poison in this bottle is the same kind of poison in the pear soup.”
Looking at the porcelain bottle, Taifei Sun's eyes shook, and the blood on her face completely faded in an instant.
Don’t blame her for being cautious... She originally planned to return to the aftermath after serving the pear soup!
But who knew that he was spotted by the **** maid on the spot!
She has no time to hide the evidence!
Looking at her reaction, Emperor Qingming already had a judgment in his heart.
He slowly looked at the King Xiang standing there, and asked almost every word: "Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Xiang’s face repeated, and he opened his mouth, but he could not make a sound.
"The emperor, this is my work alone... he didn't know it!"
Suddenly Sun Taifei knocked her head heavily on the ground, and said with a trembling, "It is because of the trivial things in the past that I have always hated the empress dowager. I can't find a chance to start in the palace on weekdays... Thinking of going out to the palace to worship this time, it is a rare good opportunity. , The ghost was obsessed with the heart to do such a wrong thing for a while!"
Emperor Qingming sneered.
This mother is very competent.
Unfortunately, he didn't believe a word of these words!
"Mother concubine, don't cover up for your son..." King Xiang finally spoke, and said in a dumb voice: "It is your son who has troubled you."
"...Stop!" Sun Taifei shook her head to her son with her eyes distraught.
No, she is just such a son, and her son will never have an accident!
The king of Xiang has already knelt down, cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "Brother Emperor...this matter is indeed the work of the ministers..."
He is very clear about the temperament of his eldest brother. At this time, if he continues to quibble, he will truly be dead.
Emperor Qingming sneered: "This is an admission."
In the next instant, this cold smile was suddenly put away, and suddenly he raised his hand, and his sleeves swept toward the tea set on the elbow.
"boom!"
The enameled porcelain teapot fell to the ground, and the broken porcelain splashed out.
"...I almost believed your nonsense just now!"
Facing the emperor’s wrath, the king of Xiang prostrated himself on the ground, his figure trembled, and said: "The minister did this... also for the consideration of the emperor..."
"For me?" Emperor Qingming squeezed a weird smile from between his teeth, his eyes darkened to the extreme: "For me, I want to poison the queen dowager? I would like to hear, how can this be good for me!"
Finally, he used to think that even though the fourth brother was a little cautious, he was still under his control.
It seems that there should be no so-called trust among people in this world...including these simple-minded fools are not credible!
"The emperor is kind-hearted, knowing that the second elder brother has a heart of disobedience, but he is still just restraining..." Wang Xiang tried his best to make his voice sound less trembling. "The emperor always thought that as long as the queen mother is still in Beijing, the second elder brother will definitely Don’t dare to act rashly, but if things go on like this, it’s just a problem for raising tigers!"
"So, you have to pretend to kill the queen mother?" Emperor Qingming's tone was extremely ironic: "Have you ever thought about the possible consequences of doing this?"
"The minister...The minister just wants the emperor to make up his mind and take this opportunity to get rid of the second brother!"
"When will it be your turn to arrange my affairs!" Emperor Qingming was furious: "If you do this, it will only cause trouble to me and disrupt my original plan!"
Get rid of King Yan...Where is such a simple thing?
If it is so easy, why should he wait until today!
This idiot did so, not so much to force him to get rid of King Yan, but to force King Yan to rebel as soon as possible...
In the situation in Daqing nowadays, the whole body will be touched by a touch. Such an unprepared thing is equivalent to a sudden big change. Once it happens, how will he respond?
Keeping the queen mother’s life, even if it’s really reached that point, at least she can still be used as a hostage, making King Yan a little jealous——
And such an important piece was almost destroyed in the hands of this stupid thing tonight!
"Yes...it's the dull brother of the minister, and he dare not be smart anymore!" King Xiang confessed his mistake quickly.
"No, I found out now, you are not dull at all..."
Perceived the emperor’s scrutiny from the top of his head, the king of Xiang’s figure gradually stiffened on his prostrate.
"For me? Or because of your own dissatisfaction and private grievances with King Yan, or your own self-interest? Only when he is dead can you get more benefits and real power." Emperor Qingming's voice was slow and cold: "Four brothers Now, you still learn to kill with a knife. It really makes me look at me with admiration."
"My minister dare not..." Wang Xiang's voice was weak and perturbed.
Emperor Qingming closed his eyes: "I don't care what your purpose is, but once the disaster breaks out, the evil consequences will have to be swallowed by yourself—"
"Brother emperor, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister dare not arbitrarily advocate and act without the emperor brother!" Wang Wang repeatedly kowtowed his head and begged for mercy: "Brother emperor, please remember that the minister has not really made a big mistake. …Give the younger brother one more chance! In the future, the younger brother will work harder for the emperor brother!"
