Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 208
Speaking of this, Xiao Huanzi's voice became a little excited.

After King Jinlai was seized the throne by the former general Xia Zhong, all his descendants of the royal family were exiled to death. Only the youngest thirteenth prince, the former prince, was sent to the cold place of Beichuan. Time suddenly disappeared, and it was as if the world had evaporated. Even though Ming Shengdi sent many people to search for it, there was still no one alive or dead.

After so many years, even Ming Shengdi thought that the former prince should be dead, so he gave up and continued to search, but now a person who had been missing for nearly ten years reappeared in General Huwei's mansion, so how could he not let him go? Emperor Ming was startled.

"This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid Mr. An went to the palace to report what the father saw and heard in Li's mansion. This General Huwei really offended the father."

Xia Zijin said with deep eyes, but she didn't know why she didn't believe the truth of this matter. It didn't mean that he or she believed in the character of General Huwei, but that she felt that it all happened by coincidence.

It just so happened that Master Yushitai, who was drinking in a wine shop, encountered trouble in Li's residence. It happened that Master An followed him out of curiosity, and happened to let him discover such an important matter.

All of this is like a well-arranged net, just waiting for General Huwei to jump down, or someone will kick him down if he doesn't jump himself.

"The princess is right. The emperor has sent someone to arrest General Hu Wei and bring him into the palace. He will be interrogated in the hall right now."

"Well, good luck to him then."

Xia Zijin laughed, but she didn't care much about the situation of General Huwei. After all, Liu Anqi's martial arts were abolished by him. She resented General Huwei more or less in her heart, and even slightly hoped that he would be killed by Ming Shengdi. conviction.

What is it called?gloat?

Xia Zijin silently said a sentence of sin and sin in his heart, but he was in a very happy mood.

This side of Mo Shengyuan is holding a relaxed attitude of watching a good show, but in the solemn and solemn hall, it seems to be another situation.

General Huwei was pressed on the hall with his hands bound by the imperial army. He was old and his legs and knees were not very good. His knees hurt when he was suddenly pushed up like this. However, Ming Shengdi, who was leaning on the dragon chair, The deep and vigilant look made him tremble even more.

"After all, how did you get in touch with the former prince?" Ming Shengdi's tone was light, but full of repressed anger, and he spoke calmly with General Huwei like this, but it was just like a mountain rain was about to come. calm.

General Huwei shook his head in tears, and shouted: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! I have never known any former princes. I have been loyal to the emperor for so many years. How can you believe that?" Others have framed my minister!"

"Framing and framing?" Ming Shengdi sneered, "Why not framing others but framing you? You really think that I am too old to recognize what is the truth and what is the truth!"

In the end, the word "truth" fell on General Huwei like a frozen pillar of frost. Ming Shengdi stared at his expression, and nuzzled at Xia Chengqing who was at the side.

"Let him see for himself!"

Xia Shengqing bowed and nodded, and slowly walked from Ming Shengdi's side to General Huwei's, with a hint of flirtatiousness on his handsome and clear face.

"General Huwei, Mr. An is a careful person. After he found out about the matter in the house, he immediately reported to the emperor and asked the emperor to punish you."

"But the emperor is very fair and benevolent. He didn't immediately believe that you, general, are the kind of collaborators and traitors. Instead, he pressed the matter and investigated you, general."

"The slave also looked at Mr. An's misunderstood. The emperor's investigation will surely restore your innocence to General Huwei, but the result of this investigation not only makes the slave a little disappointed with you, but also disappoints the general who has always trusted you. The emperor's heart is extremely cold."

After finishing speaking, Xia Shengqing took out a large stack of things from his wide sleeves, and threw them all at General Huwei's feet.

"Here is the evidence of your correspondence with the former prince, general, in the past two years. It clearly states how much you have taken care of the prince in the past two years, and how deep your friendship with him is. The handwriting on the letterhead is clear. Clear, clear, clear, what else do you have to say?"

General Huwei was shocked, and looked down at the letters at his feet. The rough and unrestrained handwriting on the scattered letter paper was indeed the same as his own.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This is not a letter from a minister. Someone must have carefully set up a trap to frame this minister. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by the thieves!"

Ming Shengdi listened to General Huwei's cry of grievances, but he did not imagine that all this was a game set up by others for General Huwei like Xia Zijin. But suffused with cruelty.

"Li Wei, I'm not old enough to be foolish enough to know what you're thinking. The whole of this big business is my world, and who can murder you right under my nose?"

After finishing speaking, Ming Shengdi remembered what Mr. An said again, his sharp eyes swept over General Huwei's face, and said with a sneer: "General Jianguo... Heh, you are going to help him go to the prince to destroy the prince." After leaving my Dalai’s country, go to open his Jinlai’s country, right?”

"I treat you well, and I don't expect you to go into battle like those young generals to kill the enemy and protect the country, but at least as a Dalai man and my subject, you should have the duty and sense of shame. There is nothing left, tell me how you want me to punish you!"

What kind of crime is collaborating with the enemy and treason? In the past, there was a military official who had a close personal relationship with the Taifu of a neighboring country, and was sentenced to death by Ming Shengdi.

Now the charges placed on General Huwei's head are far more than that simple. Thinking of the upcoming consequences, General Huwei couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Your majesty and ministers are wronged! The prince in the previous dynasty was square, round and flat, and the ministers didn't even know, so why would you work hard for him?"

He was still defending himself, but Ming Shengdi still believed in his heart that this matter was true. Even if there was something hidden in it, since those evidences pointed to the Li family, it showed that this Li Wei had nothing to do with the previous dynasty.

Even if there is even the slightest possibility, Ming Shengdi never wants to take risks!

After all, he himself also took the throne from others, Ming Shengdi has always been very taboo about such things in his heart, for fear that the debts Zeng Jin committed will be repaid.

"Don't say any more! Whether you are wronged or not is up to God to judge! Come, someone, Li Wei, an unfaithful and unjust traitor, will be thrown into the prison by the government. The eldest son of the emperor will be fully responsible for this case, and the investigation will be clear. What did Li Wei do when he colluded with the previous crown prince and who did he contact, the case will be closed immediately and I will personally convict him!"

"As ordered!"

Immediately, some imperial guards clasped their fists and dragged General Huwei down. No matter how much General Huwei yelled for mercy, Ming Shengdi didn't even look at him any more. He only thought about how to get this budding prince of the former court to be with him. All related cancers are eliminated.

Just at this moment, Xia Qin who came in a hurry passed by General Huwei who was dragged down by the forbidden army, that General Huwei seemed to have seen the last straw, and immediately shouted: "Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince! I beg you to intercede with the Emperor on your behalf! Your Royal Highness, you know how loyal I am!"

The Imperial Army hastened their movements to take General Huwei away, lest he say anything to offend Ming Shengdi.

However, Xia Qin's brows were covered with dark clouds, and he took a deep look at General Huwei who was now in a state of distress, restrained his eyes and went into the hall to respectfully worship Emperor Ming.

"I see my father! I heard that my father, General Huwei, had any collusion with the prince of the previous dynasty. This... I thought, General Huwei has always been a loyal person, and he probably wouldn't do such a thing. Father Your Majesty, do you want to investigate further? It may be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? The evidence in black and white and what An Aiqing saw with her own eyes, how can you tell me that I misunderstood him?"

Ming Shengdi raised his eyebrows, fixedly looked at Xia Qin who was bowing and speaking politely, and suddenly said: "You are pleading for Li Wei like this, is it possible that you have some deep friendship with him?"

Emperor Ming Shengdi's question surprised Xia Qin. He knew that Emperor Ming Shengdi always hated princes and ministers forming cliques for personal gain, and that General Huwei is now involved in a treason case. It is a big bad if he thinks that he has any connection with the previous dynasty.

I only heard Xia Qin hurriedly denied: "Father misunderstood, my son just... I just think that General Huwei, as a veteran, has never done anything out of the ordinary for your father in these years. It must be because of his loyalty and righteousness. How could such a loyal person collude with the former crown prince if you are brave and loyal to your father and emperor."

Ming Shengdi hadn't spoken yet, but Xia Shengqing who was standing beside Ming Shengdi spoke lightly.

"Since your Royal Highness, you are not familiar with General Huwei, how can you guarantee his character and behavior? The emperor can naturally judge whether it is true loyalty or false loyalty. The servant is light-hearted, but you are so loyal to the prince. A rebellious minister pleading for mercy will chill the emperor's heart."

"you"

Xia Tian stared at the indifferent Xia Shengqing, his eyes narrowed with suspicion and shock. Why did Xia Shengqing fight against him repeatedly recently? He could still be fooled by Xia Shengqing's prevarication words once or twice In the past, he thought he didn't mean it, but with today's obvious stabbing, he had to re-examine Xia Shengqing.

Ming Shengdi naturally agreed with Xia Shengqing's words, waved his hands impatiently at Xia Tianqin and said: "You don't have to say anything good to make me worry, I have already handed this matter over to Bin'er, what is the truth, he will give me an answer." Confession."
