The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 215 Sudden Identification

In the next few days, Ming Han's treatment in the Forbidden Army Prison was greatly improved compared to before.

Although the cell is still stuffy, someone will bring him fresh water every day to bathe him. Although the food is simple, the cleanliness is better.

On this day, he put down his pen and completed the sketch of the bird gun.

The jailer brought clean water and brand-new clothes, and said that someone would be summoned in a while.

Ming Han lingered over the drawing with his fingers, hooked his lips, dried the ink on the paper, folded the sketch, and put it in his sleeve.

After the jailer brought the man out of the Forbidden Army prison, two guards came forward to approach him, and one of them pushed him coldly and unceremoniously, "Let's go!"

Two guards held Ming Han hostage, one on the left and the other on the right. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but the situation was beyond his control.

Soon, Ming Han was brought to Chongtian Hall.

The civil and military officials were divided into two shifts, and Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, who were dressed in royal crowns, sat on the two golden chairs placed side by side in the middle.

Ming Han's heart trembled, and the guard had already replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the person has been brought here!"

After finishing speaking, the guard gave Ming Han a push, and he knelt down, "The grass-roots see the emperor, the emperor's husband."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him indifferently, and didn't get up.

There was another person standing in the hall, wearing a black robe with narrow sleeves, it was Xiao Jingtian.

Ning Yuezhao spoke slowly, "Xiao Qing said that the matter of Yuquan Mountain was designed by Ming Han, now Ming Han, do you have something to say?"

Ming Han has been in prison for the past few days, because Zuo Ming ordered him to be treated kindly, and the jailer's attitude towards him is very relaxed, so he knows from the jailer that Jiang Nian has not been in court for more than half a month because of a serious injury to his right shoulder. .

Today, Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao came to court again, and all eyes were on his right arm.Previously, when the empress and the emperor's husband went to court together, they always covered each other with sleeves and robes and clasped hands.But today, Jiang Nianchang's legs were half bent, sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, and Ning Yuezhao also put one hand on his knees and the other on the armrest, in stark contrast to the intimacy of the past.

This can't help but make people speculate about the various previous rumors.

Ming Han quickly glanced at the guard who had just taken the sketch of the blunderbuss, only to see that the other party was looking at his heart, and did not look at him at all.Looking at the two people on the throne again, although they are not as close as before, they have never heard of a breakup.

He had just finished drawing the sketch of the blunderbuss, and he was mentioned in the Chongtian Temple. It seems that the emperor used him as a certificate of honor for the empress to consolidate his power, but!
A flash of light flashed in Ming Han's eyes, he settled down, and returned to his previous gentle appearance, "The joint performance of the two armies was indeed offered by Caomin, because General Xiao and Xu Caomin, if this time can defeat the royal spirit, then Xu Caomin had a place in the army. Caomin thought it was just a military parade, so he designed a plan based on the map of Yuquan Mountain. After listening to the general, he felt that Caomin's strategy was novel and might be able to win by surprise, so he adopted it."

After Xiao Jingtian listened, he sneered and remained silent.

Ning Yuezhao continued to ask: "But what about the machine crossbow erected on the north slope and the cliff edge that was blown soft in advance?"

Ming Han straightened up on his knees, and said with a smile: "The plan of the joint performance of the two armies was offered by the grass-roots people, but the emperor would fall off the cliff and be injured. The cold arrow was released, forcing the emperor to step on the ground that had been loosened by the gunpowder while avoiding the cold arrow."

He admitted so happily, somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

Ming Han continued: "Your Majesty, after the imperial husband and General Xiao fell off the cliff, the Caomin sent a dozen killers to search at the bottom of the cliff for fear of mistakes, but unexpectedly all the top assassins sent by the Caomin were killed by the imperial husband. .”

Immediately, someone questioned, "How do you know where to set up the cold arrow, so that you can definitely force the emperor to fall off the cliff?"

Ming Han blinked, "Caomin has studied the imperial husband's martial arts beforehand."

Xu Zhi immediately said: "It's ridiculous, the emperor seldom fights with others, how can you, a commoner with no rank or rank, be able to study the martial arts of the emperor!"

Ming Han pursed his lips and remained silent.

Xu Zhi turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, this person clearly said this to cover his crime."

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Xu Zhi casually, "Then according to Xu Ge's opinion, who is he taking the blame for?"

After finishing speaking, she also took a look at Xiao Jingtian.

Xu Zhidao: "The imperial husband was already injured after falling off the cliff, how can one person single-handedly pick out dozens of top killers, this is also very suspicious!"

Zuo Ming said coldly, "The imperial husband's killing of dozens of killers was witnessed by the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Northwest Army, so there is nothing suspicious!"

Someone from the Ministry of War immediately said, "No, when the Forbidden Army and the Northwest Army arrived, the dozens of killers had already died. Whether it was His Royal Highness who killed them is still to be discussed!"

Zuo Ming was a little annoyed, "At that time, there was no one else by the pool except the emperor, and he was not killed by the emperor. Now he can appear in front of you safely!"

The official of the Ministry of War sneered, "Then we have to ask our brave Royal Highness, maybe the so-called killer was ordered by him!"

These words are tantamount to dropping a boulder on a calm lake, stirring up waves!

Reminiscent of the rumors circulating in the imperial capital recently, could it be that the empress and Xiao Jingtian had selfish interests, so the emperor took a slant and framed Xiao Jingtian for rebellion, and then resorted to cruel tricks, forcing Ning Yuezhao to dispose of Xiao Jingtian in order to get rid of his rival in love?
Seeing the flickering expressions of everyone, Yan Zhenglang came out and said: "It's ridiculous. If His Royal Highness did it, why would he get scars all over his body, and he may even no longer be able to hold a pen or use a sword with his right arm!"

Many officials present went to Yuquan Mountain to accompany the driver that day, and they were still deeply impressed by the way Jiang Nian was lifted from the bottom of the cliff covered in blood.If it is a bitter plan, the price is really too heavy.

The official of the Ministry of War gloated and said: "Oh, isn't this just stealing a chicken and not getting a lot of money! So, if you do your own evil, you can't live!"

In the eyes of these people in the Ministry of War, their general was completely framed.And a few days ago the general gave them a strict order not to look down on the emperor, and seeing how respectful his general was to the empress these few days, combined with those ambiguous rumors, he felt that it would be good if his general replaced someone as the emperor's husband.Now some people point out that this may be Jiang Nian's self-directed and self-acted trick, and their dissatisfaction has been transferred to Jiang Nian, wishing to pull him down immediately and make Xiao Jingtian and Ning Yuezhao a pair.

Xiao Jingtian glanced at the official coldly, "What are you talking about!"

The official shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Ning Yuezhao looked at Minghan, and said in a deep voice, "Did you take the blame for someone else?"

Ming Han lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "No...no."

Xu Zhidao: "Your Majesty, I see that Ming Han's words are flickering, I'm afraid there is something hidden in it!"

Yan Zhenglang reprimanded: "Xu Ge is overthinking too much, this matter is what Ming Han did, and he himself admits it!"

Xu Zhi ignored Yan Zhenglang, and just looked at Zuo Ming, "Commander Zuo, you threatened to investigate the matter of Yuquan Mountain within three days, but after only two days, you took General Xiao to question him. Ming Han was also imprisoned at that time. Into the Forbidden Army Prison, after you captured someone, didn't you interrogate him?"

Zuo Ming said coldly: "Of course there will be an interrogation. The officer is still in a secret mansion in Ming Han and found gunpowder."

Xu Zhi turned to Ming Han, and asked with a little surprise: "The northern slope of Yuquan Mountain, is it really your doing?"

The smile on Ming Han's face was a bit bitter, and he sighed, "The Caomin do know gunpowder, and that's no secret. The court and Chinese officials know all about the good things they did with the Caomin before."

After he finished speaking, the newly promoted officials in the DPRK and China nodded their heads one after another.

Xu Zhi glanced at Zuo Ming, "So, gunpowder alone can't convict Ming Han."

He turned around and continued to ask Minghan: "Have you ever given the gunpowder to others?"

Ming Han's face changed slightly, and he glanced at the throne, "No..."

Xu Zhi squinted his eyes, "Young Master Ming hesitated a few times, as if he was protecting someone! Thinking about how he is a commoner, how could he know the martial arts of the emperor's husband and the general, and then get a lot of gunpowder, please go to the top where's the killer?"

"Young Master Ming is also a Juren. According to the rules, he can be released as an official. Are you sure you want to ruin your own bright future in order to protect others?"

"The most important thing is, Ming Han, you have no grievances with the imperial husband, why did you murder him?"

Xu Zhi took a step closer, and Ming Han waved his hand, "Master Xu, don't talk about it, since Ming Han did this, Ming Han should be responsible for it!"

Just as Ming Han waved his hands, a piece of paper that was folded squarely fell out of his sleeve.

Ming Han was about to pick up the paper in a panic, but it fell at Xu Zhi's feet, and he picked it up first.

Xu Zhi opened the paper with a puzzled expression on his face, "What does it look like? It looks a bit like a machine crossbow, but it's different..."

Yan Zhenglang, who had always been diametrically opposed to him, took a look at the paper in his hand, and said in shock, "This is the sketch of the bird gun!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhenglang gave the things to the servant and presented them to Ning Yuezhao.

Some of the officials present had heard of the prestige of the blunderbuss. If they had a sketch of this thing and mass-produced it, then Daxing's army would be like a tiger with wings added!

Ning Yuezhao opened the scroll, glanced at it and handed it to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian reached out to take the sketch, but he didn't look at it carefully. He just pointed at Ming Han, "What does this mean?"

Ming Han's expression was indifferent, "I did it in prison with nothing to do in my free time, and now the grassroots are already dying, so I will dedicate this thing to the emperor's husband."

Xu Zhi keenly caught the mystery in Ming Han's words, and he asked, "Why did you dedicate this thing to the emperor? Didn't you want to put the emperor to death earlier?"

There was a trace of unnaturalness on Ming Han's face, "It's just a casual talk, Mr. Xu, don't worry too much."

Xu Zhi glanced around at the courtiers, and said solemnly: "The Forbidden Army has not found any substantial evidence to prove that the Yuquan Mountain incident was done by Ming Han, and Ming Han's words flashed in the hall today, if he is convicted for this, I'm afraid It's hard to stop the mouths of people all over the world!"

Xiao Jingtian, who had been silent all this time, approached Minghan, grabbed him by the throat, and said sharply, "Who are you instigated by?"

Ming Han was stubborn and silent, Xiao Jingtian stepped up his restraint, Ming Han's face gradually turned red, "Loose... let go... let me say..."

Xiao Jingtian let go of his hands, and Minghan sat slumped on the ground, clutching his throat and coughing heavily.

After Ming Han calmed down, he kowtowed in Jiang Nian's direction, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for you..."
