177 Falling down, Infernal Affairs is not that fun
Today, the morning court of the Dongling Dynasty was exceptionally lively. It truly demonstrated what twists and turns are like, and what one wave after another is about to come.
Prince Su, who had not attended the morning court for a long time, suddenly appeared at the court and pointed out that there were many doubts about the wolf attack on Baicao Garden. He asked the emperor to reinvestigate the case and release Dong Lingjiu before the evidence was conclusive.
When the emperor was about to agree, the left prime minister Zhu Jie suddenly submitted a memorial saying that Yuwen Wuhua was colluding with the Nanling Dynasty and intended to rebel.
It was also pointed out that the reason why Yuwen Yuanhua was able to defeat the Nanling Dynasty was because the Nanling Dynasty did so deliberately in order to add to Yuwen Yuanhua's military merits, and the letters between Yuwen Yuanhua and the Nanling royal family were produced.
Yuwen Yuanhua knelt in the main hall and cried out for justice. The emperor was furious and immediately sent troops to Yuwen Yuanhua's residence to search the general's house. As a result, they found a dragon robe and some letters that had not been destroyed in time.
When the Imperial Guards presented the "evidence", the emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he asked Yuwen Yuanhua if he had anything else to say.
Yuwen Yuanhua continued to protest his innocence, saying that someone had framed him. However, the evidence was irrefutable. Even the Left Prime Minister brought several of Yuwen Yuanhua's cronies. Those cronies righteously accused Yuwen Yuanhua of colluding with Nanling, and said that if they refused to commit treason, Yuwen Yuanhua would kill their entire family. They had no choice but to pretend to be nice to Yuwen Yuanhua and wait for an opportunity to expose Yuwen Yuanhua's true face.
Everything happened so suddenly that Yuwen Yuanhua had no power to fight back and could only allow the Left Prime Minister to present witnesses and material evidence.
The Left Prime Minister Zhu Jie was the emperor's most trusted minister. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would understand that it didn't matter whether Yuwen Yuanhua had committed treason or not. What mattered was that there was now irrefutable evidence and the emperor would never let Yuwen Yuan go.
The military power in the hands of Yuwen Yuanhua has always been a major concern for the emperor. He has been planning to take action against Yuwen Yuanhua, but he was just waiting for an opportunity. The emperor was not satisfied with just defeating Yuwen Wuhua alone.
The previous incident of cutting grain supply was just the beginning. The emperor was forcing Yuwen Yuanhua to choose a new master. Yuwen Yuanhua did not disappoint the emperor and chose to lean towards the ninth uncle.
It is only a matter of time before Yuwen Yuanhua is captured. But if the Ninth Prince can be captured at the same time, then Qi would be a better choice.
Taking advantage of the Ninth Prince's imprisonment, the Emperor quickly took action against Yuwen Yuanhua and quickly made it a solid case.
No one talked about Yuwen Yuanhua's allegiance to the Ninth Prince openly, but everyone knew in their hearts that if Yuwen Yuanhua was executed for treason, would the Ninth Prince be able to get away with it?
If the Ninth Prince had not been imprisoned, perhaps something unexpected would have happened. However, the Ninth Prince was in prison, and there was both witnesses and evidence regarding Yuwen Yuanhua's affair. Unless Yuwen Yuanhua could prove his innocence immediately, he would be dead.
The emperor had been prepared for this situation long ago and had been waiting for a good opportunity. No doubt, the fact that the noble families had submitted a memorial to accuse the Ninth Prince would be a good opportunity.
Can……
Just when the emperor was "deeply distressed" and thought he had won the battle and was about to order Yuwen Yuanhua and those in the army who were not bribed by the emperor to be dragged out and beheaded, Yuwen Yuanhua "was extremely frightened" and "trembling" climbed up, and then "accidentally" revealed something in his arms, which fell at the feet of Prince Su.
This was definitely not an accident, it was premeditated. The emperor's face changed, and when he was about to signal the eunuch to pick it up, Prince Su picked it up first: "What is it?"
As soon as it was unfolded, Prince Su's face changed drastically. He picked up several letters at his feet and opened them one by one under the Emperor's gaze. The more he read, the uglier his face became. He stepped forward and kicked the Left Prime Minister Zhu Jie hard: "Asshole."
Everything happened so fast that before everyone could react, they saw Prince Su walk up to the emperor with murderous intent and smash his hand into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, you have raised a good minister!"
"Uncle, calm down." The emperor didn't know what was going on, so he had to comfort Prince Su first.
"Calm down! How can I calm down? Should I watch this traitor open the late emperor's tomb and dig out the late emperor's body? Should I watch this traitor lead the troops into the pass and destroy my Dongling foundation? Your Majesty... you are so confused. If Dongling is destroyed, you will be a sinner for all ages like the previous emperor." Prince Su is so disappointed. Looking at the emperor's eyes, he is so disappointed.
The emperor panicked and quickly unfolded the things in his arms and checked them one by one. Before he finished, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell down on the dragon throne. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly shouted for the imperial physician to come.
At this moment, Prince Su drew out the sword he was wearing.
Prince Su was the only person who could bring weapons to court. The sword in his hand, although not called the Shangfang Sword, was the same as the Shangfang Sword. It could be used to kill tyrants and corrupt officials.
"Why are you arguing? If you continue arguing, I will kill him."
With a stern shout, no one dared to speak again. All the officials knelt down one by one and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Uncle, please calm down." The emperor's face turned frighteningly pale, with shock and anger on his face.
It was originally a good move, but no one expected it to come to this. The emperor looked at Zhu Jie and wished he could kill him as soon as possible.
The left prime minister Zhu Jie collapsed directly before the prince at this time, he knew that everything was over.
As expected, the emperor ordered that the left prime minister Zhu Jie collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, frame loyal officials, and exterminate all nine generations of his clan.
As for Yuwen Yuanhua and the Ninth Prince, of course they are fine.
Prince Su said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't let the late emperor down."
After saying that, he went to the Heavenly Prison in person, took Dong Lingjiu out, and brought Dong Lingjiu and Yuwen Yuanhua to Prince Su's Mansion.
What was the thing that fell out of Yuwen Yuanhua's arms? No one knew except the emperor, Prince Su and Yuwen Yuanhua.
Many years later, Feng Qingchen found out that the things were all the inside information that the emperor had instructed the left prime minister Zhu Jie to collude with the Nanling royal family to frame Yuwen Yuanhua and frame Dong Lingjiu.
Zhu Jie was originally a chess piece cultivated by the emperor. He was ordered by the emperor to pretend to collude with Nanling. However, after dealing with the royal family of Nanling, Zhu Jie actually developed rebellious intentions and wrote a letter to the royal family of Nanling, saying that the previous things were instructed by the emperor of Dongling, and that the information he gave was seven-tenths true and three-tenths false. This time, he attached the military secrets, military maps, and even the map of the previous emperor's tomb of the Dongling Dynasty to show his loyalty.
It is not impossible for an emperor to instruct his subordinates to collude with the enemy country and frame loyal officials, but if it gets out, it will bring shame to the Dongling royal family. No wonder Prince Su was so angry.
Fortunately, the letter was intercepted by Dong Lingjiu, otherwise, the Dong Ling royal family would have lost face.
It has to be said that the emperor's move was ruthless enough. If he really succeeded, Yuwen Yuanhua and Dong Lingjiu would have no way to defend themselves.
The evidence was irrefutable; Yuwen Yuanhua was doomed.
However, he did not expect that the emperor did not know people well. Otherwise, the emperor would have killed two birds with one stone, and Zhu Jie would have become the emperor's best hidden weapon to take down Nanling.
With the help of the Nanling royal family, get rid of Yuwen Yuanhua and let Zhu Jie gain the trust of the Nanling royal family. At that time, Zhu Jie will be the best counter-spy who can monitor Nanling's movements at all times and even give Nanling wrong information when the two countries are at war.
But in the end, the emperor misjudged the person, and a good move was ruined by him.
After years of planning, the emperor ended up benefiting from it. How could he not be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood?
However, Feng Qingchen knew nothing about all this right now, and she didn't want to know. Secrets were not something that the more you knew the better.
After hearing that the Ninth Prince and Yuwen Yuanhua were fine, Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard Wang Qi muttering, "What on earth is in Yuwen Yuanhua's hand that could have made Prince Su so angry and the emperor so angry that he vomited blood?" and the like, she just smiled and walked out...
The dark clouds dispersed and the gloomy sky gradually became brighter.
Feng Qingchen smiled. She believed that things would get better and better in the future...
