Deng Binyu looked at Gu Lingze provocatively, "I know all your tricks. If you want to kill me, then go ahead. I, Deng Binyu, don't expect to walk out of the hall alive today."

As soon as these words were spoken, many court officials knelt down and pleaded for him, fearing that Gu Lingze would get angry and kill the Minister of Revenue.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lingze laughed at this moment, and his voice echoed in the hall, making those kneeling people shudder for no reason.

"What a way to survive after risking one's life." Gu Lingze smiled, "Lord Deng knows that you are in this position, but I can't touch you at all, otherwise, wouldn't it confirm the crimes you have put me on?"

Deng Binyu leaned forward and shouted to Emperor Jing: "Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision."

At this time, the six guards of the Black Clothes Army could no longer sit still, and they all stood up and knelt before Emperor Jing.

"Master Gu played a great role in this battle in the northern border, and the title of Immortal Master is definitely not just for fame. If it weren't for Master Gu, I would have died on the battlefield long ago."

"I am willing to use my own life as a guarantee that Lord Gu is definitely not an evil person."

"I am willing to do so!"

"We two are willing too!" Ye Zhixue and Cao Bingquan also knelt down.

"We all wish!"

All the soldiers who followed Gu Tianhua to fight in the northern border knelt on the ground, and their cheers shook the sky.

Gu Lingze narrowed his eyes slightly, and an ambiguous look flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Zhao Chengmo walked directly to Gu Lingze and held his hand.

Gu Lingze raised his head and curled his eyes at him, "I'm fine."

Emperor Jing looked at Deng Binyu who was kneeling on the ground and narrowed his eyes. "Minister Deng, these soldiers are willing to guarantee Gu Lingze. Do you have anything else to say?"

Deng Binyu gritted his teeth and took two steps forward on his knees, "I have something to ask you!"

"Ask." Qi Yuanjing sneered.

Unexpectedly, Deng Binyu stood up and stared at Gu Lingze. "I heard that you once killed a million enemy soldiers in the northern border. Is that true? You don't have to be cunning..."

"Yes, that's me."

Deng Yubin: …

The whole court: ...

"Why, Lord Deng, do you want to go down and accompany them?" Gu Lingze looked calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.

The civil officials were like a pot of boiling water, completely boiling.

Prince Gong shouted in shock: "Do you know how cruel your actions will bring to Qianyuan Kingdom?"

"So what?" Gu Lingze still had the same expression.

"You! You deserve to die!" Prince Gong cursed with trembling hands.

Gu Lingze's lips slowly curved into a playful arc, "If I had left it alone, the enemy would have already flattened the nine cities in the northern border and marched straight in, taking half of Qianyuan."

Gu Lingze walked over slowly, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Gong will still be so confident in accusing the four countries of brutality and immorality by then?"

The military generals all looked angry. Everything Lord Gu did was to defend the territory, but in their mouths he became a tyrant.

We have to fight to the death on the battlefield every time. Is there any basis for mercy in war?

"I have no intention of becoming the national master, and I am not fighting to protect you bastards."

Gu Lingze's face was as gloomy as water. "I have always acted recklessly, but I will never associate with people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Gong and Deng Binyu trembled at the same time, and then clenched their fists tightly.

"Dai Zhengqi." Qi Yuanjing called out.

"I am here."

"Go and bring Shi Yangzhu and Li Weide to the palace!"

While Dai Zhengqi was picking up the person, Qi Yuanjing looked at Prince Gong and said, "Brother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Prince Gong tried his best to suppress his inner panic, not daring to look up at Emperor Jing's expression. He just cupped his hands and said, "I, I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."

Qi Yuanjing sneered, "I think you are the one who should think twice."

Dai Zhengqi led the two men to the front of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought the guilty minister Shi Yangzhu here with me, Li Weide."

Qi Yuanjing waved his hand and Dai Zhengqi stood aside.

"Shi Yangzhuo and Li Weide, I want to ask you, who instructed you two to disobey my orders and not help?"

The two men had their hands tied behind their backs and were kneeling in the hall. After listening to Emperor Jing's words, they all looked in the direction of Prince Gong.

Prince Gong was startled and shouted, "What are you looking at me for?"

Gu Lingze sneered. It was ridiculous that such a fool wanted to be the emperor.

At this time, many court officials also saw the clues, and Deng Binyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Prince Gong had completely lost his normal state at this moment, because he had received news earlier that Shi Yangzhuo and the other two saw the great victory of the Northern Border Army and were afraid that the Emperor would issue an order to punish them, so they fled overnight and their whereabouts were unknown.

Why is he appearing in this hall again at this moment?

Shi and Li were still hesitating, but Gu Lingze was getting impatient and asked directly, "Are you two going to tell me or not?"

Gu Lingze only asked simple questions without any threat in his words, but to the two of them it was like a death sentence from the God of Hell.

Shi and Li shuddered all over and said quickly, "Master Gu, Master Gu, don't be angry. This was all instigated by Prince Gong. Prince Gong has long been in collusion with the Crown Prince of Qianhan Kingdom!"

"Gu Lingze has given you two so many benefits that you can frame His Royal Highness Prince Gong!" Deng Binyu spoke first.

The two are now tied to the same rope. Once Prince Gong falls, he will surely die.

Gu Lingze laughed, "Master Deng is really quick-witted and can speak nonsense without hesitation."

Emperor Jing looked at Gao Yi and said, "Pass it on to Huo Jingwu."

Eunuch Gao shouted, "The Emperor has ordered that Huo Jingwu, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, come to the palace—"

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

"Stand up." Qi Yuanjing looked at Huo Jingwu and said, "Did you find anything I asked you to find?"

Huo Jingwu took out a book from his arms and handed it to Eunuch Gao. When Prince Gong and Deng Binyu saw it, they immediately changed color.

"This book was found behind the wall of Prince Gong's residence. Every tenth page was torn open, and there were letters hidden inside."

Emperor Jing threw the book directly at Prince Gong and asked coldly, "Brother, are you willing to read the contents of these letters for me?"

Prince Gong knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, someone has framed me."

Deng Binyu also shouted: "Your Highness Prince Gong is really wronged. The Crown Prince of Qianhan is now dead. Otherwise, you can testify with him face to face!"

Gu Lingze nodded, "Sure."

Prince Gong, Deng Binyu:? ! !

After a while, Qin Chuhan was escorted to the palace and knelt in front of Emperor Jing.

There was a sound of gasps in the hall. Everyone in the world had heard that the crown prince of Qianhan Kingdom had died in the battle. Even Qianhan Kingdom had acquiesced to this fact. Yet, he appeared in this hall. How could this not be surprising?

After Qin Chuhan entered the palace, before Emperor Jing could ask him anything, he looked at Prince Gong expressionlessly and said, "I had a secret letter with Qi Kangde earlier. As long as he interferes, I will help him ascend the throne of Emperor Qianyuan when I return victorious."

All the ministers who had previously stood on Prince Gong's side changed color and knelt down to apologize.
