Chapter 248 Persuasion
Shen Liuzhen knew that he was very wary of him, and this collection of poems alone could not get him out of trouble.
So I thought about it and said:
"After Zong Ai was executed, His Majesty issued an order detailing his major crimes. Among them, there were slanderous rumors to sow discord, saying that Prince Jingmu had the intention of treason, which caused Prince Jingmu to be wronged, imprisoned and died. Later, Zong Ai was afraid of being raped by Emperor Taiwu. It was discovered that the act of regicide was possible."
Prince Chongsu sighed deeply, as if there were thousands of emotions and heartaches in his heart, and asked solemnly:
"I know all this, so what?"
Shen Liuzhen changed his steps and said: "At that time, there were many people who supported Zong Ai for their own selfish reasons. In order to exonerate themselves, they insisted on proving that there was no such thing. They said that the prince was not wronged and that Emperor Taiwu died. Later, Emperor Shi Yuwu, who was supported by Zong Ai, was also justified. He said that there was no evidence for the crimes His Majesty listed..."
He paused and asked: "Your Majesty, just imagine, if I had taken out this collection of poems and made it public, wouldn't it have given those people more excuses to say that the prince's death had nothing to do with Zong Ai and that he was already ill... But I know that’s not the case.”
Shen Liuzhen emphasized his tone and said: "I cannot tolerate the world's tolerance and doubts about Zong Ai's actions, and I cannot tolerate any stains and injustices on Prince Jingmu!"
Although these words of Shen Liuzhen came from the heart, they were interpreted with impassioned and impassioned justice.
He is not this kind of person... He never likes to show his feelings in front of others.
Even though he was really sorry and heartbroken about Shi Yuzhen's death, he only said a few words to U Lei in a normal way.
Even when I spoke to Xie Yuan, my tone was reminiscent and regretful, with a regret that nothing could be done about the changing world.
However, Prince Chongsu is an upright and loyal person, so he will definitely like this kind of righteous and awe-inspiring person even more.
Therefore, from the moment he entered the door, he was already making a show in front of him.
Don't be a villain who wants to be submissive, but a hard rock who can see the awe-inspiring righteousness from a few steps away and who is not afraid of the dangers of power.
Sure enough, when Shen Liuzhen looked at Prince Chongsu, he saw the light of emotion in his eyes.
"My lord, isn't that what you hope?" Shen Liuzhen asked sincerely.
Prince Chongsu looked at the enshrined golden statue of Shi Yuzhen, his eyes flashed and he said nothing.
Shen Liuzhen didn't rush him either.
After a while, he said: "Wulei did a good job. He was able to take back the throne, vindicate Tianzhen, and resolve his grievances. I am very happy and grateful... I used to think that he was deliberately chosen by Emperor Taiwu as his direct descendant." The emperor's grandson is used to check and balance Tianzhen. He rarely gets along with Tianzhen on weekdays and is polite. He will not take Tianzhen's grievances to heart. Looking back later... I was wrong."
Shen Liuzhen followed his words and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, like Prince Jingmu, is a kind-hearted person who values friendship and filial piety... Your Majesty, please go out and help him."
After hearing this, Prince Chongsu slowly walked to the front of the enshrined golden statue, carefully placed the poetry booklet in his hand on the table, then turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, walked aside, and said in a tired tone:
"I'm old... I used to be as high-spirited as you. But now after a lifetime of hard work, the result is this... I no longer have the energy to do anything."
Shen Liuzhen said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please think about Prince Jing Mu. Among those who oppose His Majesty today and secretly plan to usurp power and seize the throne, which one has not condoned Zong Ai, the culprit?
They all once resented Prince Jingmu because he did some practical things that hindered their interests. They were also among those who slandered the prince for treason!
They wish that His Majesty would lose the throne so that Prince Jingmu would be infamy for eternity. We cannot let them win, Your Majesty!"
Shen Liuzhen's tone was very exciting. Prince Chongsu's eyes flickered, and his gray hair was clearly shocked.
He stopped spinning the beads in his hand, looked at Shi Yuzhen's golden statue, and asked calmly:
"Who do you mean by them?"
Shen Liuzhen looked at the back of Prince Chongsu, a smile of success flashed across his lips.
He starts to care about and understand the details, which means that he already has something to take care of!
"Back to the prince... the people who allowed Zong Ai to usurp power at the beginning, Prince Mu He and his faction were the chief culprits. After your majesty came to power, they originally wanted to punish him, but unfortunately they insisted that they were ignorant and pushed a few pawns to come out as scapegoats. , there is insufficient evidence, so it has never been successful...
This time I was sent by Your Majesty to the front line to supervise the battle. I saw with my own eyes that his disobedience was obvious and obvious to all. The failure of this war must be held accountable. Your Majesty discussed with me and wanted to invite Prince Chongsu to come out and hold them accountable for their crimes. And clean it up and root it out to avoid future troubles."
Prince Chongsu stood with his back to Shen Liuzhen, and the room was quiet. Only the green smoke from burning Buddhist incense filled the air.
Shen Liuzhen bowed slightly, lowered his head, and waited anxiously for his reply.
Time seems extremely long...
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, and the Buddhist beads in Prince Chongsu's hand began to rotate again. The moving beads hit another one, and the sound was crisp. Just listen to him say:
"You go back first and let me think about it."
Shen Liuzhen raised his arm and wanted to say something more, but he reminded himself that he couldn't say any more. Going too far would be counterproductive.
So he said "yes" respectfully, turned around and left.
Shen Liuzhen followed the servant who led the way out of the door without saying a word. When he arrived at the door, Liu Qinbing saw his serious face and asked him:
"How? No?"
Shen Liuzhen sighed and said: "He said he would consider it... but I think he has already agreed. Let's go back and sleep in the cage. In such a cold day, the quilt is still warm..."
After saying that, he stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.
Liu Qinbing looked at Shen Liuzhen's back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Good guy, such a familiar confidence again...
…
His Majesty the Emperor met with all the frontline generals one by one, asked some questions, and listened to some words. However, he made no conclusion.
Rumor has it that His Majesty is planning to find someone to investigate the case, including the accidental death of Prince Mu He on the front line. He also promised those generals who complained about his injustice to investigate the case together.
And this candidate is Prince Chongsu, who has been staying at home since the death of Prince Jingmu.
Suddenly, the front door of Prince Chongsu began to be crowded again. There was an endless stream of people coming to see him, and they were surrounded by cars and horses.
However, he still saw no one.
Just when everyone thought that it was impossible for Prince Chongsu to go out to take this job, and His Majesty the Emperor would definitely send someone else, Prince Chongsu... went to court...
