Chapter 1492 Prince innocent
"King Xiang has been captured."

Chun Yudian was a little uneasy, and came to look for Yang Xinxiang, "You and my family were also involved in what happened back then."

"Back then, Aye didn't get involved too deeply. He just made people push those people behind his back to take action." Yang Songcheng pressed his hand, "Calm down."

"Our two families are now grasshoppers on the same rope." Chunyu Dian felt relieved, sat down and said, "He wants revenge!"

"Yes, I just didn't expect him to take the clan first."

……

"King Xiang has been captured."

King Zhen and King Yong, who had returned to Chang'an all the way, immediately made an appointment to meet after hearing the news.

In the past, the two brothers were afraid of the jealousy of the false emperor and his son, so they never dared to meet in private except to participate in activities in the palace.On the way back to Chang'an, there were fewer taboos and many things were talked about.

This is when he walked out of the palace, King Zhen couldn't help but retreated back, and the steward said: "My lord, it's not a false emperor who is in power now."

"Yes!" King Zhen came out again, looked at the spring outside, and said, "The one in the palace is my brother."

King Yong was even more timid when he left the mansion, and even asked people to inquire about it first, and only after he was sure everything was fine, he came out slowly.

When they met, the two smiled at each other, feeling a little enlightened.

The two drank wine and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"I don't know what King Xiang did to attract him. I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with the clan." King Yong was a little worried.

"Even if you are dissatisfied, King Xiang is also an uncle according to his seniority. It is not a serious crime, how can he win?" King Zhen's eyes became more determined, "If we meet, I will definitely persuade you."

"That younger brother kills people like hemp!" King Yong shook his head.

"That has to be said."

The two looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.

They were imprisoned in Chang'an, but the little brother was doing well in northern Xinjiang. The gap is a bit big!
……

After King Xiang confessed, he was taken into the palace.

The emperor stood outside the hall, watching King Xiang being brought down the steps.

"Your Majesty!"

A horned dragon guard shouted.

King Xiang knelt down obediently, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Do you want to see the old man's joke? Or do you want to humiliate the old man?"

"I'm not interested in watching your jokes, and you don't deserve my humiliation."

The emperor looked at him with his hands behind his back, "I just want to ask, what I did to honor the emperor back then, was it for the Tang Dynasty? Was it for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes." King Xiang admitted very bachelorly.

"His innovation failed. The Tang Dynasty has reached the generation of the false emperor Li Mi, and the country has declined. If I hadn't come out to clean up the mountains and rivers, I am afraid that they would have been broken. Then, what good will the broken mountains and rivers do for you?"

Han Ze glanced at the emperor and saw his calm expression, thinking that King Xiang was lucky.

"Hahahaha!"

King Xiang suddenly laughed out loud, leaning forward and backward.Probably because the wound was pulled, he took a deep breath, then looked at the emperor and said: "Someone offered millions of dollars, and a hundred hectares of fertile land asked me to help. At that time, I only had money and land in my eyes. As for the Tang Dynasty Jiang Shan, at that moment..."

King Xiang thought about it carefully, "The more temptations you face, the more courageous you will be. The country is broken... I have money! What are rich people afraid of? The worst is to go to a grass head king. After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, no Are there any sons of the clan who become the brains or generals of the rebels? Couldn’t this old man be able to?”

"Desire is charming!"

The emperor shook his head, "I suddenly discovered that in fact, you and the rich merchants are all the same goods, and under the profit, you can sell your family, country, and the world."

"Don't people live for themselves? What is the world, what is the country, the old man is full of wine and food, and the beauty is by his side, the old man is the emperor, hahahaha!"

"The wealthy businessman has made more money, so he wants to be an official. When an official becomes a high-ranking official, he wants to be a prime minister. When a clan son becomes a prince, he wants to...be an emperor!"

The emperor ordered: "King Xiang's family will be exiled to their hometown in Northern Liao, and they will not be pardoned."

"Yes!"

There were attendant officials who recorded the emperor's orders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Xiang thought he was doomed, so he couldn't help being ecstatic when he heard the words, bowed his head and knelt, and then said with his bruised forehead: "After Emperor Xiaojing was poisoned to death, I feel very guilty. On the anniversary of death, the old man will fast for a day..."

"What are you?" asked the emperor.

"Atonement."

"Atonement?" The emperor waved his hand, with a sneer in his eyes.

"Take it away!" Wang Laoer ordered King Xiang to be dragged away, came up and asked, "Your Majesty, let him go like this?"

The emperor nodded.

Later, Lin Feibao came.

The emperor stood outside the hall, blowing the chilly spring breeze.

"Prince Xiang is getting old, so I don't think he can hold on halfway."

"Yes!"

……

Immediately, King Xiang's charges were announced.

"It turned out to be him?"

Liang Wang was also quite shocked when he heard the news at home, "Emperor Xiaojing treated him well back then, but I didn't expect that he stabbed Emperor Xiaojing in the back."

"This is betrayal!" Li Han sighed.

The steward laughed and said, "However, His Majesty is so magnanimous that he just exiled his family."

"They're all clans!"

Half a month later, the news came that King Xiang felt that he had committed a serious crime and committed suicide by hanging himself in the middle of the journey.

"This must be his handwriting. This man will take revenge, that's evident!" Chunyu Dian shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity for King Xiang."

……

The matter of King Xiang was over, and many dignitaries, even high-ranking officials, came back one after another from Chang'an City.

"What should I do about the servant's naturalization?" Liu Qing and Luo Cai were discussing this matter.

"Don't take this as an example?" Luo Cai said, "We can only let go of the previous ones, otherwise the world will be shaken."

"Your Majesty's temper, I'm afraid he won't agree. And when you failed to honor the emperor, how could your majesty let go?"

The outside world felt that the emperor would definitely choose to let the past go.

The atmosphere finally eased up a bit.

"Let them guess." The emperor laughed in the palace.

"Your Majesty, King Zhen and King Yong are asking to see each other!"

The emperor was taken aback, "It's been almost half a month since they came back, but I forgot to see them."

Han Ze asked: "Did the slaves invite them?"

"I told you that you don't need to call yourself a servant." The emperor frowned, but Han Ze smiled and said, "The servant called himself a servant for half his life, and I asked the servant to change it, but he couldn't change it."

"Let's have a family dinner!"

The king of Qin asked the queen to tell the queen that there was a family dinner in the afternoon.

Immediately, King Zhen also got the news.

In the afternoon, the two entered the palace.

"There are a lot fewer people in the palace." King Zhen said.

The servant leading the way smiled and said, "Your Majesty let many people out of the palace."

King Zhen and King Yong exchanged glances.

This little brother is very deviant!

The two were brought into the hall, only to see that the emperor's family had arrived.And there is their acquaintance... Yi Niang.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

The two looked at the emperor carefully by saluting.

The most impressive thing about the emperor is his pair of eyes, which are deep and seem to be smiling, but it makes people feel that there is endless majesty hidden in them.

like who?

King Zhen thought of filial piety to the emperor, and there were about three images between the two, so the rest were probably like that Huang Fengyi.

King Yong met Huang Shi back then, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that the emperor and Huang Shi looked quite alike.

The son and the mother are blessed, this is a folk saying.

"Exemption." The emperor said with a smile.

Han Ze came over, "You two kings, please sit down."

The emperor sat in the middle of the upper head, the empress and prince, and King De sat on the other side, and King Zhen and King Yong sat opposite them.

"I've seen the queen, I've seen the prince."

Salute on both sides, then sit down.

"When Yang Lue brought me out of Chang'an, it was quite difficult for the two of you," said the emperor.

King Zhen didn't speak, and King Yong said: "After Aye left, someone impeached me and said that I and my second brother should be imprisoned. Fortunately, A Weng did not agree. But even so, the two of us will not go out."

"Until someone in the palace commits suicide." King Zhen said quietly.

"Someone committed suicide?" The emperor waved his hand, indicating that the food and drink would be postponed.

"Yes. A few days after poisoning Aye, the empress recovered most of her body, and immediately ordered people to investigate the matter of poisoning. As soon as a servant was found, that servant committed suicide..."

Suicide in fear of crime also makes sense!

Han Ze felt that the clue was probably broken.

"Ah Weng asked people to investigate carefully, and it turned out that the man did not commit suicide, but... homicide!"

There are people behind...Han Ze was terrified.

"Aye has gone, if he poisoned people, then those people must be a mess at this moment." Yong Wang said: "Ah Weng and grandmother were furious immediately, and they should be strictly investigated immediately."

"I searched and searched, but no clue was found. Ah Weng fell ill again, and my grandmother took over the government. The two of them didn't know how to negotiate, and even made an exception to let the experts from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple enter the harem..."

Han Ze explained to the emperor; "All the cases that happened in the palace have always been resolved internally. Even if they can't be found out, outsiders will not be allowed to intervene."

"I know."

This is a bit of a family ugliness.

There are so many dirty things in the harem, so there are rumors that the harem is very dark.Once it is known to the outside world, the majesty of the emperor will be greatly reduced.

In order to maintain majesty, emperors throughout the ages have worked hard in this area. In a word, mystery is right.

The emperor asked: "Has it been found out?"

King Zhen squinted at the emperor, "The minister was able to enter the palace a few months later, and only then did I know... After those good investigators entered the harem, they followed the silenced servant to find some clues. They followed the clues all the way, and found A concubine there."

Concubine?

The emperor's eyes became brighter, "Back then Aye was slandered for molesting his father and concubine..."

He seemed to see the man behind him grinning.

"The concubine didn't wait for them to take her, so she hanged herself in the bedroom with her belt. This time she really committed suicide."

King Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "If that bitch doesn't commit suicide, he will die."

"She wanted to save her family with death." Yong Wang sneered, "But the empress was furious, and immediately confiscated her house and exiled them all to the barren land..."

"Is that concubine related to Aye?" the emperor asked.

King Zhen shook his head, "The concubine's elder brother, who was a secretary by Aye's side, was expelled for making a mistake."

"The concubine wrote a final letter before committing suicide, one of which was..." Yong Wang said:
"The prince is innocent!"
