Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 307 The Confused Old Case

For King Guangtong and King Yangzong, avenging their mother has always been their wish for these years.

Years of planning have made them obsessed with this matter to the point of paranoia.

Therefore, they would not allow anyone to slander their biological mother Su Shi at all.

After hearing what King Zhennan said, King Guangtong suddenly became furious.

"Nonsense, how could mother lie to us? It wasn't enough for you to force mother to death. After she died, you poured dirty water on her body. Zhu Huixun, you are really vicious and not a son of man!"

Looking at this posture, if it wasn't for the captain of the Jinyiwei who was pulling him aside, King Guangtong and King Yangzong might rush forward at any time and repeat the fight at the Zhengdan banquet.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu frowned, his face darkened, and he shouted softly.

"King Guangtong, stop making noise and roaring!"

As he spoke, he also set his sights on King Zhennan, waiting for his explanation.

So, under the attention of everyone, King Zhennan gave another version of the truth.

In his mouth, he never wrote the poem slandering Renmiao. That poem was originally forged by Zhu Huijuan to frame him.

Zhennan Wang's chubby face was full of pain, and he said.

"At that time, I first had a son, Yin Xun, and my eldest brother was over thirty years old, but he never had any heirs."

"Therefore, after learning that the minister's wife was also pregnant, the eldest brother became ill-intentioned, and imprisoned the minister under the guise of his father's order, and then secretly reported to the court, saying that the minister slandered Renmiao."

"For this reason, my eldest brother secretly found a poor student who is good at imitating handwriting from outside, and wrote this poem slandering Ren Temple, replacing the poem I wrote in the restaurant."

At this point, Zhennan Wang seemed to recall the scene where the brothers broke up back then, and couldn't help but wet his clothes with tears, and choked up several times.

Zhu Yinyuan, who was at the side, stepped forward to support his father, and continued his words.

"This matter, my uncle also had a temporary idea. After he ordered someone to write the forged poem, he sent his men to take the child outside the city to deal with it secretly."

"But at that time, the backyard of Prince Min's Mansion was under the control of Mrs. Su. At that time, the property in the mansion was stolen frequently, but it was still impossible to find out who it was. So Mrs. Su personally checked the people who entered and exited, and just happened to bump into the person of my uncle. go out."

"Su suspected that they were the ones who stole the property of the mansion, so they detained them and interrogated them strictly, only then did they learn the truth."

At this time, Zhennan Wang's mood gradually returned to calm, and when he mentioned Su Shi, he said coldly with a trace of disgust in his expression.

"However, after Mrs. Su learned the truth, she did not immediately report to her father, but secretly stole the poem and threatened me with it."

Hearing the words, the ministers below were stunned.

This is too tortuous, right?
But if you say it that way, it makes sense.

However, this is too different from what Guangtong Wang and others said.

Also, the logic is all right.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some ministers will stand up and ask.

"What the lord said is too unbelievable. According to what the lord said, Princess Min had passed away at that time, and the backyard of Prince Min's mansion was in charge of the Su family. When she found out about this, she didn't report it to King Min. Instead, she wanted to threaten the lord, a prince. Why?"

King Zhennan sighed, his eyes fell on the two brothers of King Guangtong, and said.

"It's not for her two sons!"

Then, King Zhennan continued to explain.

"At that time, the first emperor had newly ascended the Great Treasure, and my brothers and I were older, and each of us was crowned and married. There was news from the imperial court that within a year or two, we might be conferred by the imperial court."

"The canonization is a good thing, but once you leave the Min Palace and set up your own house, you will need silver for everything in the guard of honor, the palace, servants and maidservants."

"Fourth and fifth brothers, because they were young and frivolous, they were not loved by their father and had little savings. Su was worried that they would have a hard time after leaving the mansion, so she began to steal property from the mansion to prepare for the future of her two sons. "

"Because the person who stole it was the Su family himself, so I couldn't find out who the thief was after many searches, but this matter happened to me by chance."

"After all, Mrs. Su is a concubine's mother, and my father is getting old. I was afraid that my father would not be able to bear the blow, so I secretly warned Mrs. Su to stop stealing and not to investigate in the past."

"That day when Su Shi went to inspect the gate of the mansion, he wanted to find a scapegoat to settle the matter, but he never thought that he would run into that unsuccessful candidate."

Speaking of this, the eyes of Guangtong Wang and the two also dodged a little.

Because part of what King Zhennan said was indeed true.

When they left the mansion, Mrs. Su did give them a lot of property, although Mrs. Su said it was her savings for many years.

But the two of them are not fools, how could the Su family get so much savings as a concubine.

But this matter involves their mother's reputation, and they cannot admit it no matter what.

However, King Zhennan ignored them and continued.

"Although I made an agreement with Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su was still worried, so she stole the poem and used it to threaten me not to speak about it."

"At that time, I was also afraid, so I responded to the matter in a moment of confusion."

"But later, the Su Clan made an inch of it, relentlessly, threatened with that poem, and continued to steal property from the mansion."

"I couldn't bear it anymore, so I found an opportunity to steal the poem, and then I reported Su's theft of property to my father."

"Father King Lei Ting was furious and wanted to start a family law on the spot, so Su Shi simply hanged himself because he was afraid that his two sons would be implicated."

He looked up and glanced at the prince and ministers present, Zhennan Wangdao.

"This is all the truth back then. If you have any doubts, feel free to speak out. This king will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

There was silence in the hall, and the officials seemed a little shocked by the huge amount of information, until a moment later, a minister came out and questioned.

"Since King Zhennan knew the truth back then, why didn't he tell the truth during the court trial?"

Zhennan Wang said helplessly on his chubby face.

"At the court trial, Ning Yanghou and others insisted on accepting that the so-called poem was written by me, and ignored my refutation. The king said that the poem was fake, but they didn't believe it. How can they believe anything else?"

"What's more, at that time, they didn't give the king time to present himself. They felt that the so-called chain of evidence was complete, so they convicted the king."

"Because of this, the king asked to see His Majesty to make a statement at that time, but they also refused to forward it."

At this time, King Guangtong finally couldn't bear it anymore and retorted.

"You're talking nonsense, it's clearly you who let my mother steal the poems back then, but now framed my mother instead!"

However, no one in the palace cared about him. After he was pulled away by Jin Yiwei again,

Another minister asked: "According to what King Zhennan said, the matter of slandering the Temple of Ren, from the beginning to the end, was framed by the previous generation to frame the prince. If this is the case, why didn't the prince explain the situation to the court?"

Zhennan Wang pondered for a moment and said.

"When the imperial court sent officials to investigate, the king was still in custody and had not been released. He didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't make a statement. Although the Su family stole the poems early, they only threatened them after the imperial officials left. My king."

"Not only that, but she also threatened the king, saying that if the king brought this matter to the court, she would say in turn that it was the king who threatened her to steal poems in order to escape the crime."

"The king was confused at the time, so he didn't submit it. As for later, after the king got back the poem, he felt that it had been many years, and there was no need to disturb the court."

"This matter is what this king did wrong. If the court convicts me for this, I am willing to admit my guilt."

All the ministers in the hall suddenly had a lot of discussion.

At this time, Chen Mao and the others finally couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to speak.

"What the lord said is all one-sided. Since the lord said that you had sent someone to get the so-called forged poem back then, where did the piece of evidence now come from, and why did it fall to King Guangtong? hands?"

Zhennan Wang snorted coldly, looking at Chen Mao with a hint of mockery in his eyes, said.

"The share that this king took back was naturally burned."

Chen Mao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him. He took a step forward and said with a sneer as well.

"That is to say, there is still no evidence to support what the prince said, is there?"

"This story is indeed full of ups and downs, but don't forget, my lord, this is before the imperial court. Any criminal case that cannot produce corresponding evidence is just sophistry."

"Huh~"

Another mocking laugh, this time even undisguised.

Chen Mao followed the source of the voice, but found that it was Zhu Yinxuan who spoke this time.

With a trace of pity on his face, he came to Chen Mao and said.

"Does Chen Hou still not understand?"

"The poem that was used to threaten my father had already been burned, but Uncle Si Wang said that his poem was left to him by the Su family."

"That is to say, the Su family does not only have one copy of this forged poem slandering Ren Temple!"
