The General's Conspiracy: I would rather be a general than a concubine

Chapter 54 The mastermind behind the scenes is Xiao Cheng


The person at the head said first: "Returning to the emperor, my minister's name is Yue Wei, and he is the envoy of the seventh-rank punishment department. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is guarded by this minister. This person's name is Bai Laosan, and he is a subordinate of this minister. The people in the middle delivered the food."

"You are Ye Qing's witnesses?"

Hearing Emperor Kang's question, Yue Wei hurriedly said in a respectful voice: "Return to the emperor, the third son Bai is the witness."

"Then tell me."

However, what Bai Laosan said next made Xiao Cheng's expression begin to change.

"Back to the emperor, someone came to visit the prison in the name of King An last night, but in fact they put poison in the food. After being discovered by King Dingbei, the man snatched the saber of the subordinate officer and injured the saber. Since he followed From the words of King Dingbei, the slaves learned that this person is the bodyguard next to the Second Prince, named Lou Wu!"

Bai Laosan said this very smoothly, it seems that he has practiced it many times in his heart.

After hearing this, Emperor Kang slightly frowned, before he could speak, Xiao Cheng said coldly: "Bold slave, who gave you the courage to slander me!"

"Why is the Second Prince so loud? If you don't know, I'd think you're guilty." Ye Jingchen smiled leisurely, and choked back unceremoniously.

Prime Minister Xue on the side is an old minister after all, he reacted very quickly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this person is just a petty official, isn't the testimony a little too thin?"

Xiao Cheng understood what Prime Minister Xue meant, and immediately said: "Who knows how you bribed people, there is nothing wrong with punishing them if you want to!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The person who spoke was an unexpected person for Xiao Cheng.

Yue Wei raised his head, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The lower officials are not witnesses, but there is one thing that has to be reported."

Hearing this, Emperor Kang nodded and said, "Let's talk."

"After King Dingbei disappeared last night, the officials were planning to go to the palace overnight to ask for instructions and to search and arrest overnight. But they were stopped and the officials were not allowed to intervene in this matter."

Seeing some hesitation on Yue Wei's expression, Emperor Kang immediately grabbed the joints in between and asked, "Who is that person who stopped you?"

Yue Wei pondered for a while, as if he was in a battle between heaven and man, he said after a while: "It's the second prince."

As soon as these four words came out, Xiao Cheng's face changed drastically.

But Yue Wei did not stop there, but continued: "The second prince said that the bigger the trouble, the better, and it would be better if he could be convicted of robbing and fleeing from prison. The lower officials were unwilling to agree, but the second prince did Pressed to the lower officials, the lower officials have no choice but to... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The expression on Xiao Cheng's face was as if paint had been splashed on it, and the colorful moment was brilliant.He gritted his teeth and pointed at Yue Wei: "You are talking nonsense, pouring dirty water on this palace!"

Last night it was clearly Yue Wei who said that he could not enter the palace overnight, and that the bigger the incident, the bigger the blow to Xiao Huan and Ye Jingchen!

But now that it's in Yue Wei's mouth, everything has changed!

After Yue Wei said this, he never looked at Xiao Cheng from the beginning to the end.

Ye Jingchen knelt on the ground abruptly, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, could it be that Tian Huang nobles can use their power to take people's lives and destroy their innocence at will? The guilty minister begs the Emperor, give me justice!"

And Xiao Huan, who has never spoken, also knelt beside Ye Jingchen at this time, and said in a deep voice: "What happened last night, if my son saved King Dingbei, he will be a party to the prison; if he doesn't save King Dingbei, he will He is the murderer who killed the courtiers. This kind of plan of killing two birds with one stone is not insidious, but it also makes people feel chills. The matter has come to this point, and the minister also wants to seek justice from the father!"

Kangdi's face was even more furious, and the matter was already clear at this point.He can tolerate the princes using tricks, but he cannot allow them to use tricks on Xiao Huan!

After reading this, Emperor Kang stepped down from the dragon case, walked towards Xiao Cheng, kicked him on the leg, pointed at him and cursed: "Nie Zhan, what else do you have to say!" He was the one who indulged Xiao Cheng too much. What's wrong, that's why the other party is so unscrupulous to harm his Huan'er time and time again!

Xiao Cheng was shocked and angry, and finally his face turned into a look of grievance and innocence: "Father, my son is wronged!"

"Injustice? You keep saying that others are framing you, but they are the ones who are hurt, and they are the ones who have evidence. What about you? Just relying on your red mouth and white teeth and these courtiers who are attached to you, you want me to believe you Was it wronged?" Emperor Kang lowered his head and tugged at Xiao Cheng's lapel when he said this, and asked, "Then you tell me, are you begging me or using your servants to threaten me? Are they complaining for you, or are they fundamentally wrong?" Just like you!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers in the palace immediately knelt down on the ground, and those who belonged to Xiao Cheng's faction trembled even more, and said in unison: "The emperor calm down."

Xiao Cheng's face turned pale, and he raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, can a few words from them be used as evidence? My son is your son, don't you know how he behaves?" ? Or, only the death of my son can prove my innocence!"

When he said this, it can be said that every word was sincere, coupled with the admiration and innocence in his eyes, the acting was even more penetrating.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Kang couldn't bear to get angry again.In the end, Xiao Huan was not in good health, and he was not around for four or five months a year.And Xiao Cheng has indeed fulfilled his duty as a good son.

Thinking, Emperor Kang sat back on the dragon chair with his sleeves thrown back, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and the relevant people will definitely not tolerate it!" But he didn't say that he would deal with Xiao Cheng's matter on the spot.

Hearing this, Ye Jingchen sneered slightly in his heart. After all, it was his own son. The emperor was notoriously soft-hearted. It seems that this matter might be a little bit more thunderous and rainy again!Thinking of this, Ye Jingchen was a little disappointed, if relying on Emperor Kang's temper, it would be extremely difficult to deal with Xiao Cheng, it seems that she had to make plans early and think of other ways.

She was thinking wildly, when she suddenly heard Kangdi's voice: "Ye Jingchen."

"The sinner is here."

Ye Jingchen came back to his senses immediately, and looked at Emperor Kang who was sitting under the golden plaque.

Emperor Kang coughed lightly, and said: "Your disguise as a man should have been executed as a warning to others. However, considering your great military exploits and the loyalty of Ye's family, the death penalty is exempted. However, the death penalty can be avoided. It is inevitable to escape the crime of life."

As soon as his words fell, the Minister of Rites stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the so-called parents who suffer from body hair and skin, it is better to cut off their hair and replace their heads as a warning."

More than half of the ministers agreed: "The ministers seconded the proposal—"

As for the rest, the crimes on their heads have not been cleared, so how dare they say no, they all fell silent immediately.

So, the situation turned upside down.

Kang Di looked at the situation with satisfaction, and immediately asked: "Ye Jingchen, do you have any objection to this handling?"
