Dajin royal family

Chapter 232 Pleading For My Brother

King Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this sentence.

When Cui Qi and Cui Yunxiang were caught, he was still at home waiting for his father to deal with the prince.Others don't know the relationship between the Cui family and the prince, but how can he, as the prince's opponent, not know?

"This is utter slander!"

King Qi retorted with a blushing face. To him, such words were tantamount to fantasy.

Just a moment ago he was still thinking about how to hypocritically plead for the prince's elder brother, but now he heard such news from his father's mouth, one can imagine the sharp contrast.

It is roughly similar to the mood of a melon-eating crowd who is suddenly identified as a murderer.

The emperor snorted coldly, the truth must be revealed now, what about the calm look just now?

"Father, I don't believe this kind of thing either. Let's not say that Qing Que is our brother's blood relative. Just because of his contribution to the Jin family, I will never believe that my second brother will act like this. Father, please be careful!"

The prince raised his head, and there was a small red spot on his forehead, which was obviously caused by the excessive force just now.

How could this be said by the king?

King Qi slandered in his heart, but at this time he was not in the mood to argue with the prince about these verbal gains and losses.

"Father, my son is willing to confront the assassin!"

King Qi cupped his hands and looked at his father with burning eyes.

Jiang Chengxiao was assassinated, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that it had to be clarified.Leaving aside the fact that his father is King Zhao, if he is found guilty of assassinating Jiang Chengxiao, he will most likely be severely punished by his father!
After all, Jiang Chengxiao's identity is there.

Looking at the two sons kneeling below, one with pleading expression and the other with indignation, the emperor couldn't help but sigh with emotion: The sons have really grown up.

The crown prince pleaded: "Father, how can you trust what an assassin says? My son believes that the second younger brother will never murder blood relatives. This must be someone who is separating the father and son of the Tian family. Please check it out!"

Eating a fly is no longer enough to express King Qi's mood at this moment.

"Father, my son never murdered Qingque, my son is innocent!"

King Qi imitated the crown prince's 'bang bang' kowtow, and the sound came to A Weng's ears.A Weng slowly closed his eyes, unwilling to watch this scene.

The sound of forehead hitting the floor resounding in the imperial study room, not only did not calm down the emperor's anger, but made him even angrier.

With a bang, the emperor slapped the table again, and the teacup wobbled and fell from above. It shattered with a bang, and the tea splashed all over the floor.

"At this moment, you are still deceiving me. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Didn't you assassinate Qingque to blame the Cui family and the prince!" Feelings.

It seemed that he was certain that King Qi had done this.

He really thought so in his heart, who was the biggest loser from the beginning to the end of this matter?
Prince!

Who is the biggest beneficiary?
King Qi!

With the help of Jiang Chengxiao's thorough investigation of Qi County, the matter of Cui Yunxiang and Cui Qi was captured, Jiang Chengxiao was assassinated, and the crime was blamed on the Cui family.

Who is behind the Cui family?

Prince!

Should he praise King Qi for being such a good trick?
Once he succeeds, taking this opportunity will not only kill the prince's people, but also damage the prince's status and prestige, and make Zhao Wang's mansion feel bad for the prince.

And he, King Qi, will also become the biggest beneficiary.

After hearing the emperor's words, the prince's face changed drastically first, and then he looked at King Qi incredulously, "Second brother, you."

"I don't, father!"

King Qi burst into tears, and argued, "Royal father, why did I do this to blame the elder brother of the prince? Could it be that the royal father believed that the son murdered Qingque just based on the assassin's words? Can't it be a dead man!"

Immediately, there was a 'bang bang' kowtow sound next to King Qi's ear, and the crown prince cried: "Father, what the second brother said is correct, if the murderer is a dead man, it is possible that someone with ulterior motives was sent here to frame the second brother." , to separate the father and son of the Tian family, the emperor can't trust the words of that assassin."

For a moment, King Qi was actually grateful to the prince for speaking for him, but soon after the emperor's words made King Qi hate the prince again.

"At this time, you still have to argue for him, but he is framing you!" The emperor patted the desk table continuously, with a look of hatred for iron.

King Qi wished he could flip the table, he did no harm but was so determined by the emperor to do harm.

"Father, there are really no sons!"

King Qi didn't know what to say. He wanted to confront the assassin, but after the prince's kind persuasion, his father didn't believe the assassin's words at all.

How does this allow him to prove himself?

In the imperial study room, King Qi's sobbing was in sharp contrast to the quiet environment.

At this time, Chen Ling went out to see him.

"What is he doing here!"

The emperor was getting annoyed right now, and just yelled angrily.After scolding, remembering Chen Ling's identity as an inner guard, he said, "Let him in."

A Weng brought Chen Leng in after receiving the emperor's order.

If it was possible, Chen Ling actually didn't want to come in at this time to cause trouble, but he had to come in again.

"Your Majesty, the assassin committed suicide in prison." Chen Ling lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Humph hum," the emperor pursed his lips, as if a sarcastic laugh was squeezed out of his throat.

"There is no proof of death, it really is a dead man."

The emperor looked at King Qi unkindly.

Seeing this, King Qi sat paralyzed on the ground, what else could he say when the matter had developed to this point, the murderer was gone, and the father firmly believed that he had murdered the prince, no matter how he defended himself, in the eyes of the father, it was all sophistry!

"Stop quibbling?" The emperor satirized King Qi coldly.

In the past, he always felt that although this son was a little reckless, he was not as thoughtful as the prince, and he could be regarded as a 'pure' good boy.But this incident reminded him that King Qi is not a good person.

If you don't make a move, it's all right, and when you make a move, you aim at the prince's weakness, trying to punch the prince down.

King Qi's eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance. How high-spirited he was when he came here, he is now so lost and painful.

"How should I deal with you?"

The emperor gritted his teeth, stared, got up and walked back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back.He no longer cares whether King Qi admits it or not, because besides King Qi, he can't think of anyone else who would do this.

Whoever succeeds in this matter will gain more than King Qi.

"Murder the clan brothers, assassinate the court ministers." The emperor closed his eyes, his fists were clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again.

These two, no matter which one, King Qi has to accept, not to mention Jiang Chengxiao's special status.

What should he do to give King Zhao a satisfactory explanation?

He hasn't revealed his subconscious intention of blaming the prince, after all, he discovered it early this time, and King Qi's treacherous plan failed.

At this time, the crown prince, who was bleeding from his forehead, cried and persuaded: "Royal father, after all, the second younger brother is my son's brother and a mother. He made a mistake this time. As an elder brother, I can't set an example to persuade him Goodness, sons and servants have an unshirkable responsibility."

"Father, please reprimand my son, and let the second brother go around."

The prince cried very touchingly, the fat on his face was all piled up, his eyes were squeezed into a slit, and tears flowed down from the two slits.

The emperor looked at the crying prince with pear blossoms and rain, and sighed in his heart.The crown prince may be thoughtful, but it is inseparable from his health, my attitude towards him, and my worries about the crown prince.

It is rare for him to treat his brothers with such kindness.

"King Qi, you know your mistake!" The emperor roared angrily when he came to King Qi.

"I'm right, I didn't assassinate Qing Que, I didn't do that!"

Although King Qi's eyes lost their brightness, he obviously did not do this kind of thing, how could he admit it, so after hearing what the emperor said, he immediately refuted it fiercely.

"you!"

The emperor pointed at King Qi with one hand, his cheeks flushed with anger, "You still don't admit it at this time!"

"I didn't assassinate Qing Que, I didn't do it, why did I admit it!" King Qi refuted, staring at his father with a stiff neck.

Not to mention that he didn't do it, even if he did it, he can't admit it.Once it is confirmed that he assassinated Qingque, it will be fine.

What would the royal father think?
The king of Qi dared to kill the brothers of the clan who had no grudges, and blamed his elder brother, the prince. Will he do something rebellious in the future?

Second, he didn't do it at all, he was taking the blame for others!
It's even more impossible for him to admit it.

"You bastard!"

The emperor kicked King Qi's chest and knocked him to the ground.

The prince has sharp eyes and quick hands, rushed over, hugged the emperor's thigh tightly, and shouted at King Qi: "Second brother, you just admit it, father will not hurt you in any way."

"Father, the second younger brother is still young, if he does something wrong, the son will inevitably be held responsible as an elder brother, please forgive the second brother, and punish the son!"

The fat on the prince's face was squeezed on the emperor's thigh, and the strength was really not small.

"Prince, please let go. You are still taking responsibility for this little bastard at this time. I will definitely not spare him lightly today!" , the emperor really couldn't break free for a while.

King Qi is also an honest man, if he didn't do it, then he didn't do it, even if he was kicked by the emperor, he still stuck his neck, "Father, my son didn't do that!"
