Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Prime Minister, please save the lord, I have kowtowed to the prime minister." Concubine Di was about to kneel down

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!" Zhao Pu hurriedly cupped his hands in front of Concubine Di, "Your Majesty is such a disgrace to the old minister. Now the prince's matter has yet to be clarified. If the evidence of the prince's guilt is convincing, no one can save him. If the prince is innocent, the old minister will definitely be punished." All to help."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Concubine Di nodded, "Baili, quickly take Prime Minister to the study."

Baili brought Zhao Pu to Defang's study. Zhao Pu walked to the southwest bookshelf and saw a purple box. When he opened it, there was a jade pendant and a book inside. Zhao Pu closed the box and walked out of the study. When he left Nanqing Palace, he said, " Empress, no matter what happens during this period of time, please be sure to keep the Nanqing Palace steady, and you must not do reckless things, otherwise it will only make the prince more dangerous."

"Yes, Prime Minister, I will meet you." Concubine Di nodded

"Farewell" Zhao Pu arched his hands and returned to the prison. Taizong took the box and took out the jade pendant inside. This is also a piece of fine jade with fine carvings, exquisite patterns, and oily jade. It is made of hanging ropes. They are all very particular, Taizong asked, "Is this the jade pendant Li Yu gave you?"

Defang looked up, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is exactly this thing."

"What is this?" Taizong took out the book in the box. The cover of the book said [Yu Luan] and opened it. There were two pieces of paper sandwiched in the book. After reading it, Taizong's face suddenly changed, and he asked loudly, " Tell me! What are these!"

Defang looked at the book and was even more panicked, "Your Majesty... yes... it was given by Li Yu... to the words written by him..."

"You really get along very well! The words I wrote are given to you, and the jade pendant is also given to you! Then what are these two pieces of paper! Li Yu died the day he wrote these two words! How did you get them! "

Defang's head buzzed when he heard this. When he followed Qi Wang Tingmei into Li Yu's inner room, Mrs. Zheng Guo showed them these two pieces of paper. After reading them, he took them back to the mansion, but he called himself He just wanted to help the king of Qi, and then he returned to the mansion. If he saw everything now, wouldn't he be committing a crime of deceiving the king.

"What? I have nothing to say!" Taizong glared at Defang, "You entered the county government that day and saw everything, right?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Enough! You dared to bully the emperor back then, and even dared to resist the edict when you came out of the capital. Why do I still trust you now!"

"Your Majesty! That...that paper was given to the minister by Mrs. Zheng Guo, and Uncle Wang was also present."

When Taizong heard Mrs. Zheng Guo's name, he was even more angry, "Your Uncle Wang has passed away!" He looked at Defang and said, "Will the dead testify for you!"

"Your Majesty! The minister was really wronged! The minister did not kill the king, absolutely not!"

"I don't want to hear it!" Taizong threw Li Yu's jade pendant to the ground, and the jade pendant shattered immediately. Zhao Pu was also taken aback by Taizong's move. Taizong tore the two pieces of paper to pieces, picked up the book and threw it at Defang, the book slapped on Defang's chest, and then Taizong pointed at Defang and shouted, "Zhao Defang! You can hear me clearly! I don't care if you are the son of the late emperor, but now you have committed the crime of killing the king, who is it?" I can't save you either! What Li Yu! What Mrs. Zheng Guo! What jade pendant! I can't understand a word! All I know now is that you colluded with the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty and intend to murder me!"
