Chapter 949 Misfortune (Last Part)

When dusk approached, Wei Liang came to the Heavenly Prison and asked someone to open the prison door and let Li Ling come out, the latter was not surprised at all. He only came out and let someone untie his own constraints, and smiled: "Have you figured out the case?"

Wei Liang nodded: "Your Majesty has personally issued an order to make a conclusion. You have been framed by someone, so you can let you go back. However, this matter has not been completely concluded, so you cannot leave the capital. For details, the prince will explain it to you in detail." As he said that, he led Li Ling out and sent him to the Ministry of Justice before stopping.

At this time, the carriage that sent Li Ling here the day before yesterday was parked there. The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing half of Sun Bi's face: "Go up and speak." Only look at his expression, but he couldn't tell his inner happiness. Li Ling did not hesitate, nodded to his teacher, then strode over and boarded the car.

Wei Liang nodded slightly at him, then turned back to the yamen. This case involves a lot. The Ministry of Justice has been busy these days, and even though it is almost dark, there is still no yamen.

"You have suffered in the past two days." In the car, Sun Bi poured a cup of fragrant tea for Li Ling and handed it over.

Li Ling took it with both hands and smiled: "It's not a bitter thing, at most it's safe." Then he went straight to the point, "Prince, this matter has been found out. Is there any conclusive evidence to prove that it was the prince's man who designed it behind the scenes?"

"The evidence may not be conclusive, but the matter has been settled, because the prince explained the truth in front of his father." Sun Bi said with a sigh. He really didn't expect that the prince's fear of his father was so great that he did not even dare to lie and protect himself.

Then, he told the story in detail before the emperor after entering the palace. Li Ling was secretly shocked, and felt that the prince was indeed too bad this time. But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that after all, the prince has been suppressed by his father over the years. In addition to resentment, he also has fear and worry about gains and losses. In order to protect himself, he naturally can easily tell the truth.

Moreover, in Li Ling's opinion, what he said may not be the truth. After all, in the words of the prince, he was just blinded for a while. The one who really made the decision was the individuals under his command, such as Mr. Mo, and several subordinates from the Eastern Palace. This made him have a hint of doubt: "Did your highness not think about exposing his refusal?"

Sun Bi smiled: "The father also asked me what I think about this matter."

"How did the prince respond?" Li Ling immediately became interested.

"I said that the prince has always been very sensible in dealing with people and things, and should not have done such a bold and absurd act. All decisions must be hidden from him by the people below. He should have been completely unaware of the matters in the northern border and Meizhuang in Jiangnan." Sun Bi said slowly, and then saw that Li Ling's face first showed surprise, just as before when he said these words before the emperor, the expressions of the officials around him changed.

These people thought that the opportunity was in front of him, and the King of England would definitely seize the opportunity to put the blame and successfully defeat the prince. But the result was completely beyond their expectations. Sun Bi actually said good things to the prince, thinking that he was innocent!

Is this the King of Ying who has been fighting with the prince recently and has a great team? How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the prince and replace him and speak out to protect him? He doesn’t know what it means to betray the tiger and return to the mountain. Is there endless troubles?

Sun Bi could clearly see this idea from these people, but even after leaving the palace, he did not explain the whole story to them. Perhaps only Wen Ming thought of something, with a deep thought expression on his face. But now, Li Ling, after being surprised at the beginning, soon laughed out loud.

This made Sun Bi feel a little embarrassed: "Don't you blame me for not being able to help you revenge them?"

"If you do evil, you will die of your own life, and they will always be punished. I think even if the prince will not be too involved in this matter, others will inevitably be unable to escape."

"But the problem is that the only master behind all this is the crown prince. Don't you blame me for letting him go?" Sun Bi continued to ask. Rather than asking Li Ling's mood, it is better to say that he is taking the exam for his opinion on this matter.

Li Ling took a sip of tea and then said seriously: "Your Highness, do you know what I think the most about after I just knew that I was about to be relieved of my sin?"

“What is it?”

"It's whether you will face a greater crisis next. The prince is really too anxious to deal with me this time, so he reveals such a big flaw. But the real key to his failure is that he, the prince, is too unworthy of his name.

"The prince is the crown prince, the crown prince of a country, and he has hated me as a minister, but he has never found a chance to get rid of me. After it is difficult to succeed on the surface, he can even use some despicable and unpredictable means. This is really the sorrow of being a crown prince. This is not the power that the crown prince should have. Even ordinary princes can be more comfortable than him, such as you and the Yongwang at the time.

"And what is the root cause of all this? It is not the constraints of the prince's identity, but the guardianship and suppression of his Majesty. His Majesty has never been truly at ease with the prince. No, it should be said that he has never been at ease with any minister, and he is always afraid that he will be seized from power. Especially in his eyes, the prince's natural successor has always been the biggest hidden danger.

"In fact, what he was worried about was not the prince who wanted to suppress it, but the minister below who had the possibility of challenging his power. It was just that the prince was at the peak of this force. Therefore, the crown prince had been suppressed for a long time, with the two ministers first separating power, and then the King Yong and His Highness successively, which was nothing more than making it difficult for him to truly grasp the power.

"And this time, once the prince is convicted of the case and deposed as the prince, what's next? The Dayue court will not stop setting up a prince at this time. After all, the emperor is old and the country must be guaranteed, right?

"According to the current situation of all the princes in the court, I am afraid the most suitable candidate will fall on you, Your Highness. You will become the next prince, and then you will continue to face the various pressures and blows that the prince has encountered before.

"So, in my opinion, taking this opportunity to get rid of the prince is a blessing and a disaster. At least in the long run, it is definitely much more beneficial to us to keep the prince than to replace him. Of course, if His Highness is really eager to get to that point, I cannot object. After all, the prince and the throne are only one step away, and if His Majesty now has a good fortune, the prince will indeed be easier to seize the throne than an ordinary prince."

Li Ling said so many things in anger, and he could not say them all, and this time he said them all. Because he knew that he had been tied to Sun Bi at this time, and he had no shyness to share life, death, honor and disgrace. Moreover, Sun Bi's various performances and reactions this time were indeed far beyond his expectations. This is a choice that only a true wise man would make.

Sun Bi looked at Li Ling in surprise. After a while, she came back to her senses and her expression became solemn: "You are right. I have such concerns, so I didn't take the opportunity to attack. Sometimes, it would be better to weaken his power and reputation while continuing to push him forward and attract more people's attention.

"And now, I can't really surpass all brothers in the many views and reputations of the court and the people, and I can't doubt the position of prince. Since there is no foolproof, it's better to take a step back and take a slow look.

"At least our goal has been achieved this time. Not only will you rescue you from this incident, but you can also take the initiative and take the opportunity to attack the prince's forces. For example, some of the guys in the court who had jumped happily before, as well as the people from Meizhuang, and the two Huaihe River's expenses!"

Li Ling nodded in agreement: "Your Highness said very much, especially this Fei Chong. He colluded with the prince in front and wanted to harm me and the Cao Gang behind. He really couldn't let him go." Thinking about the original account, it was really a new and old hatred, Li Ling naturally wouldn't let him go.

"Don't worry, this person can't escape severe punishment. Just a rebellion is enough for him to drink a pot. There are various other problems. If you put them together, it is reasonable even if you kill the house."

A third-rank governor was now as vulnerable as a local chicken and a dog in the eyes of the two.

This is true. Now that the situation is reversed, the prince will have to pay a heavy price. The most important thing is that it is heavy, and it goes without saying that the outcome. Once it is found out that it is true, one will be in a position of rebellion, that is, if you falsely accused of a crime, the charge will fall on you, which will be enough to make him lose his official position and lose his life. After all, this time he sued Li Ling for corruption and even a serious crime of rebellion.

Li Ling nodded and exhaled another breath of turbid air. As long as this person is removed, the Cao Gang will naturally be able to turn the danger into safety. But then, he thought of another point: "By the way, your highness, there is still one more person, and you must not let him go."

"Oh? But who is it?" Li Ling is so concerned, and he is still deliberately mentioned it now.

"I don't know what his name is now, but in the past, Mo Li, was one of the culprits behind the Southwest Rebellion. It was just because he saw the opportunity quickly that he actually escaped. This time, the prince was able to almost kill me, because he was behind the scenes. He was very terrible, meticulous and vicious, and was always hostile to my Dayue court." Li Ling introduced it carefully.

"It's him..." Sun Bi was stunned. In fact, he should have had some impression of this person. After all, he was also present during the Southwest Rebellion. However, he was not as deep as Li Ling, so he was not impressed. But he still said: "Don't worry, he will definitely not be able to escape this time, because the prince also called him out in the palace just now."

Li Ling was stunned and then felt relieved again. The prince was the most timid and cowardly. In order to get rid of his crime, he would naturally push all his mistakes to others.
