Chapter 155 The Emperor is Furious
Emperor Yuanfeng was so angry that he paced back and forth in the imperial study.
All the furnishings and furnishings at hand were smashed and overturned by him, and the messy noise made him even more angry.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were so frightened that they knelt on the ground in fear. Anyone who dared to step forward to clean up the mess would be kicked away by the emperor immediately.
Emperor Yuanfeng was so angry that his chest heaved violently. The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt.
Fan Yuanqing actually died! He died inexplicably at the hands of the Tatars!
His two good sons were so audacious that they dared to collude with foreign enemies to kill the generals guarding the border!
Even before his father is dead, the two wolf cubs have begun to plot his position, using despicable methods and using all possible means. His empire will be completely destroyed by them!
Emperor Yuanfeng grabbed a cup and poured a cup of herbal tea, and his anger calmed down a little.
Recalling the Yu Lin battle report he received a moment ago, Tan Ziqian didn't seem to talk about being coerced.
Was it because he didn't deliberately report him out of consideration for his face? Or did Tan Ziqian himself not find out about being framed?
With his anxious heart somewhat calmed down, Emperor Yuanfeng decided to imprison his two sons for a few days to give them a good warning, and then let Li Shijie handle the matter quietly.
No matter what, this family scandal must not be made public. If people knew that the prince of the Zhou Dynasty collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and even murdered military officers guarding the border in order to seize power, the face and reputation of the royal family would inevitably be cast into a shadow, and the courtiers and people would also criticize him.
the ability to govern.
The distraught Emperor Yuanfeng went directly to Zhuang Meiren in Xinna to rest, completely forgetting his previous invitation to Concubine He.
He doesn't want to see the queen and concubine now, otherwise he might not be able to help but strangle them to death!
Of course, those two idiots alone couldn't have caused such a big disaster, and the two palace concubines' natal families must have also provided a lot of help.
When he thought that there were so many people secretly plotting his position, Emperor Yuanfeng wished he could order them all to be executed immediately!
It's a pity that he can't do it now!
He could kill the entire Dingbei Hou family regardless of the truth, but he could not use the same means to eradicate He Zhengqing and Zheng Feihong.
Neither Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion nor Duke Wei's Mansion are economical. Over the past decade or so, they have grown into behemoths, with disciples and connections all over the government and the public. The Wu family cannot bear the losses caused by a single move affecting the whole body!
The aggrieved Emperor Yuanfeng chose to escape temporarily at this moment and hid in the gentle village to put the annoying turmoil on hold for a while.
Wait until tomorrow when he is in a better mood, and then think of ways to deal with those two troublesome traitors!
Emperor Yuanfeng thought that his plans were very appropriate, but things often happened unexpectedly.
The morning court had just begun the next day, and Prime Minister Zuo and Duke Wei began to question the emperor about the reason for imprisoning the two princes.
question?
That's right, it's a question.
As the king of a country, he was actually questioned by his own ministers in the court!
What a ridiculous sight!
After the death of Marquis Dingbei, the power of the He family and the Zheng family became stronger and stronger, and now they even dared to challenge him, a great figure in the Nine-Five Years, in front of the court officials!
Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly felt a flash of regret in his heart.
Shouldn't he be so anxious to kill Beihou Mansion?
If Song Haocang still controlled the military power, the He family and the Zheng family would not be so arrogant and proud.
Although civil servants and military generals belong to two systems, they do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy when fighting for power.
He should let the three-party brawl end together, instead of slowly dealing with them one by one.
It's a pity that the done thing is now done, and it's all in vain to talk about regrets!
"Are your two beloved ministers questioning me? I can't even control my own son now? The Prime Minister and the Duke of Guo are so powerful that even I have to avoid their influence!"
In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Yuanfeng's face was gloomy, his slightly lowered eyes were brewing with vigorous anger, and his whole person exuded a chilling aura.
"We are all terrified! We don't know why the Holy One is angry? The two princes have done great work in disaster relief recently, but why are they imprisoned for no reason? I am just afraid that the Holy One will be deceived by others, mistakenly believe in slander and harm their close relatives. The safety of the emperor's heirs is related to the country and the country.
, please, Your Majesty, think twice before acting.”
Prime Minister He and Duke Wei immediately knelt down to plead guilty, but they showed no fear in their words.
The emperor suddenly imprisoned the two princes in the clan's mansion yesterday. Naturally, they were displeased by such a shocking incident.
I haven't received any relevant news recently, and the emperor's behavior is really puzzling.
"snort!"
Emperor Yuanfeng snorted heavily and couldn't help but get angry when he thought of Fan Yuanqing's secret letter.
If he hadn't been concerned about the royal family's face, he would have killed the two traitors as traitors!
Now we can only use the charges of forming a clique for personal gain and murdering Zhongliang to get rid of this matter. If they dare to question again, then Fan Yuanqing's secret letter will be photographed in their faces in private!
It doesn't matter if the two wolf cubs are just useless. He is still in the prime of life and wants to be crown prince in the future.
Emperor Yuanfeng was about to speak when two figures suddenly walked to the front of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. An urgent report was sent from the Yulin front line yesterday. Tan Ziqian successfully repelled the Tatar army. This was originally a great happy event, but it was mixed with two shocking things.
The conspiracy! The eldest prince colluded with the Tatar generals to threaten Yulinguan, and wanted to capture the Tan family's direct grandson as a bargaining chip for the siege. He even promised to cede Yulin Mansion to the Tatars, just in exchange for General Tan's head! So on and so forth
The evil deeds are truly appalling. Please, Your Majesty, deal with the rebels who collaborated with the enemy and seek justice for the innocent Northwest soldiers!"
As soon as the accusations were finished, another person also opened his mouth to report.
"Your Majesty, Fan Yuanqing, the governor of the Western Qin Dynasty, also has a posthumous letter. His Highness the Second Prince instructed the Xijing Prefect to win over Tan Ziqian. After Tan Ziqian sternly refused, he was retaliated by the Zheng family. The second prince wanted to join forces with Fan Yuanqing to cut off Yu Lin's supply of food and grass. Fan Yuanqing
He was thrown into the Tatar camp because he did not want to join in the conspiracy, and was later brutally killed by the Tatar generals. Before his death, he ordered his suicide note and evidence to be sent back, and he also asked the Holy One to deal with it impartially and appeal for justice for Mr. Fan who died in vain!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they handed over the letters and evidence, and during the process, they deliberately let their colleagues around them see the authenticity of the evidence.
The evidence is so solid that there is no room for sophistry. The two princes will definitely die this time!
Prime Minister He and Duke Wei were shocked and immediately knelt down to defend themselves.
"Your Majesty, you must not believe such clumsy slander! How could the eldest prince, who is dedicated to serving the country and the people, collude with the enemy and harm others? There must be a treacherous villain who deliberately framed him and put this terrible stigma on him.
On your Highness’s head, I also ask Your Majesty not to be deceived by lies and let conspiracies and intrigues sow the blood and flesh and blood ties!”
