Chapter 1180: The Imperial Seal is a fake and is exposed in public
The second prince became anxious when he heard this.
If the Queen Mother overturns the verdict, he will have even less chance.
"Your Majesty, the witchcraft case has been over for many years. I heard that it was Your Majesty who personally investigated and concluded the case." The Second Prince stepped forward and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, your eyes are sharp and your mind is meticulous. Naturally, you wouldn't have made a mistake! A thorough re-investigation would be a disgrace to your reputation. I beg Your Majesty to rescind your order!"
Prince Rong immediately said, "The Second Prince is absolutely right! How could a case personally investigated by the Emperor be wrong? I know the Emperor is concerned about the Third Prince's feelings and loves him dearly. It's a pity that the Third Prince doesn't understand the Emperor's deep love for his son. Otherwise, he would never have forced the Emperor to re-investigate the witchcraft case!"
If the Second Prince's words were meant to flatter Xuanyuan Jin in a roundabout way, then Prince Rong's words were meant to flatter Xuanyuan Jin openly.
Moreover, he used the word "force" for fear that Emperor Tianxi would be dissatisfied with his son Xuanyuan Jin if he did not meet his expectations.
As soon as Prince Rong finished speaking, several court officials stood up and opposed the reinvestigation of the witchcraft case.
"Your Majesty, the evidence in the witchcraft case is irrefutable. Furthermore, many years have passed, and most of those implicated are now deceased. Prime Minister Sun even committed suicide out of fear of guilt. I believe a thorough investigation is no longer necessary."
"Your Majesty, I second this motion. The facts of the witchcraft case are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. Re-investigating it would only tarnish your reputation and serve no other purpose. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order."
"Your Majesty, I second the motion..."
The court officials stood up one by one, and Tang Bao watched quietly from a distance.
Normally, such important court affairs would not be discussed in such a place.
Who made Prince Rong lose his patience?
Tang Bao suddenly felt grateful to Prince Rong.
If Prince Rong had not attacked the little brother in the capacity of a beautiful aunt, it would have taken a lot of effort to re-investigate the witchcraft case.
Now, Prince Rong's actions have fulfilled the little brother's wish.
"Oh! Prince Rong is such a good man." Tang Bao sighed.
Xia Siya: “…”
I don't understand what Tangbao means.
In her opinion, everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion was extremely bad.
"Su Tang, are you okay?" Princess Linghua said, reaching out and touching Tang Bao's forehead.
No fever!
Tang Bao: “…”
Xuanyuan Jin also looked quietly at the court officials who were speaking loudly, but he no longer had the anger he had just had.
In his heart, he was secretly calculating the list that Tang Bao gave him that day.
Some of the names on that list match these people.
However, these people's official positions are not high.
Those in high positions did not reveal anything.
Xuanyuan Jin remained calm and lowered his eyes.
He was not worried that Emperor Tianxi would be persuaded to revoke his decision.
He believed that his father probably didn't believe in his heart that his mother would harm him.
Tang Bao was right. The thing that had been lingering in her heart for many years might have also always been a thorn in her father's heart.
Now, re-investigating the witchcraft case may be what my father is thinking!
There are those who oppose the re-investigation, and naturally there are also those who support it.
For example, Yang Wei from the General’s Mansion.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the Empress has always been virtuous. She would never do anything to bring chaos to the palace. There must be other hidden secrets in the witchcraft case back then!" Yang Wu knelt on the ground and said loudly with red eyes.
He was a general, but when he heard the emperor's order to reopen the witchcraft case, he was so excited that he almost cried.
No matter what, we can't let anyone destroy it.
Yang Wu suddenly felt very regretful.
When he was trying to stop the fight just now, he should have taken the opportunity to punch Prince Rong a few more times!
Emperor Tianxi's gaze swept over the court officials kneeling on the ground one by one.
"I have made up my mind, and there is no need to say more, my dear ministers!" Emperor Tianxi said in a majestic voice, his tone brooking no room for questioning!
The emperor's words are golden. Now that he has said so, he will naturally not change it.
The second prince knew that Emperor Tianxi was doing this to protect Xuanyuan Jin, but he could do nothing about it.
I had no choice but to stand up awkwardly and return to my seat.
Princess Mingli said with a hint of meaning, "Second Prince, there's no need to be so sad. With me here, I will definitely help you achieve your wish!"
The second prince was shocked.
"What did you say?" The Second Prince stuttered, "What am I thinking about?"
Princess Mingli, full of charm, glanced at the Second Prince and said in a deliberately drawn-out tone, "Whatever the Second Prince thinks, I think as well."
Second Prince: “…”
His expression changed.
Naturally, he wanted to ascend the throne and rule the world.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This prince didn't think of anything." The second prince said weakly.
Princess Mingli secretly despised the Second Prince in her heart.
With such little determination, you still want to fight for the throne. It's really a daydream!
Princess Mingli thought so in her heart, but she gave the Second Prince another coquettish look, seemingly casually but meaningfully saying: "I am the princess of Xi Qin, once the tacitly recognized imperial concubine. Could it be that in your Great Yan, I can only be a prince's consort?"
The second prince's heart was beating wildly.
My mind was quickly calculating the meaning of Princess Mingli's words.
It is obvious that Princess Mingli is not content to be a prince's consort and wants to be the queen of Dayan.
If I had the help of Xi Qin, I might be able to...
The second prince was moved!
Then, the look in his eyes when he looked at Princess Mingli also changed.
As soon as Princess Mingli saw the Second Prince's expression, she understood what he was thinking.
He couldn't help but despise the second prince again.
Emperor Tianxi once again wanted to give the Zhentian Bow to Xuanyuan Jin, but was once again opposed by Prince Rong.
"Your Majesty, the witchcraft case has not been re-examined yet, and the result is unknown. I think it is not appropriate to give the Zhentian Bow to the third prince for the time being." Prince Rong said.
Prince Cheng'en bit his teeth and couldn't help it.
"What's wrong with you?" Prince Cheng'en pointed at Prince Rong and said, "You repeatedly oppose the Emperor's decisions and actions. Do you think you should be the Emperor?"
As soon as Prince Cheng'en finished speaking, Prince Rong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply terrified! I have absolutely no such intention!" Prince Rong shouted, "I am loyal to Your Majesty, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this! The reason I act this way is because the Heaven-shaking Bow has always been owned by emperors of all dynasties. Besides the Imperial Seal, it is the emperor's most important token of trust—"
Prince Rong sighed deeply when he reached this point, and then continued, "Your Majesty, let me be frank. I overheard someone saying that the imperial seal Your Majesty is using is a fake..."
Before Prince Rong could finish his words, exclamations rang out one after another.
The expressions of many ministers changed.
Emperor Tianxi's expression also changed.
You know, the imperial seal is a symbol of imperial power.
The imperial seal is fake, so can the throne still be secure?
It has to be said that Emperor Tianxi did not expect that the matter of the jade seal would be revealed from Prince Rong's mouth!
