Chapter 85 Lord Qin Requests an Audience
Especially after learning about Ji Yunzhi's fate a few days ago, Li Shenxiu could almost conclude that Jiang Wan must have had the same great opportunity as himself and was able to travel back in time!
He was filled with hatred.
As the supreme ruler of Dayu, it was only natural for him to live a second life. But why should the foolish girl of a traitor's family also have a second chance?
She even took the initiative before me, and now she is making trouble for me everywhere, obviously wanting to come and claim the lives of her Jiang family from me.
So Li Shenxiu wasn't really stupid, he was just evil. He knew full well what kind of blood debt he owed to the Jiang family, so he tried every possible way to slaughter the Jiang family again.
For the sake of his own life and the future throne, he even cruelly gave up the person he loved most, whom he had thought about all his life. But why was this time completely different from his previous life?
"Mother, I am wronged!"
Every call is filled with tears.
"Bah, you are being unfairly accused!"
Li Chengxiu grumbled in anger and, using the knowledge he'd learned from his fiancée, offered his Sixth Brother some warm words of comfort. If it weren't for Wanjie's warning glare, he would have rushed over and given the brat a beating.
"I've already caught you by the wrist, and you're still standing here trying to be stubborn? Do you think my father is as stupid as you? Seriously, Li Laoliu, I will never acknowledge you as my brother again.
It's okay for people to be a little stupid, but being as stupid as you is really a loss of face for our Prince team, you know?
People outside who don't know the truth might think we're all as clueless as you. If this gets out, won't the whole capital be a laughing stock?
I have an announcement to make. From now on, I am unilaterally severing my ties with this guy. Next time, don't tell anyone you're my brother, or I'll cut you off and you're done for!
He actually dared to frame his wife in front of him. It was obvious that he didn't take him, Li Laosi, seriously at all!
I clearly remember not holding back when I beat this guy last time. How come he's forgotten the pain even though his scars haven't healed yet, and he keeps popping out looking for fights every day?
Who is this?
Bah, nothing!
Li Laosi's chattering attracted Li Laowu's strong support.
"Fourth brother is right. I also think it's too cheap to be brothers with Li Laoliu! I'm such a smart prince, I can't let him tarnish my reputation. I also announce that I will unilaterally end my brotherhood with this kid!"
Although he didn't know what it meant to dissolve the brotherhood, it sounded very powerful, so Li Jingxiu decided to agree with all of his fourth brother's remarks.
"Get out of here, both of you!"
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to kick these bastards.
However, his sons were smart and young, so after they had released what they needed to release, they moved aside as quickly as possible.
"Come here! Take Li Shenxiu to the Heavenly Prison and let the Dali Temple conduct a thorough trial. I must take a good look at what's going on behind this to see which other gods are directing the country from inside."
The last sentence almost broke the relationship.
Duke Cheng'en's face suddenly changed and he quickly knelt down.
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!
How could the Sixth Prince, a son of the royal family and so young, survive imprisonment? How would he stand before the imperial family and the civil and military officials of the court in the future?
Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of our father-son relationship, please don't be so cruel to the Sixth Prince! Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"
This was half and half, not only because he was afraid that the Sixth Prince would say something he shouldn't say during the interrogation, but also because he had to save his reputation! Otherwise, what would he use to compete with the other princes for the throne in the future?
"Oh, Lord Cheng'en has considered everything. I think what you said makes some sense. The prince was sent to the Heavenly Prison on the charge of murdering the crown prince. It would not sound good if it were spread out. Otherwise, how about this..."
The emperor looked at Li Laoliu, who was crying with tears and snot on his face, and his voice was cold.
"If we take back Li Shenxiu's throne, we won't have to worry about him getting out and becoming a laughing stock. What do you think, Lord Cheng'en?"
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
Duke Cheng'en looked up with tears in his eyes and looked into the emperor's eyes. He knew clearly that he was challenging the emperor's majesty, but for the sake of his family's future, he had to bite the bullet and take the risk.
"When my father was still alive, he repeatedly instructed me to support the Huai King's cause and to take good care of the family's descendants and look after my younger brothers and sisters.
Poor Fifth Sister, she passed away at such a young age. I don't even dare to think about how I will report this to my father when I see him in the future. Your Majesty, please, for my father's sake, spare the Sixth Prince for once!"
When Zhao Heran mentioned the father-in-law, except for Li Laoer and Li Laowu who were confused, the expressions of the others who knew the situation changed slightly.
The emperor thought of the wise old man of the Zhao family, and his anger couldn't help but ease.
No matter how arrogant he is now, to be honest, if the old patriarch of the Zhao family had not had the insight to recognize heroes, there would be no founding emperor of Dayu today.
He had owed someone a huge favor in the beginning, so he had to repay them bit by bit. As a person, one should never forget one's roots!
"Zhao Heran, this is the last time I will give face to the father-in-law. If you dare to..."
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel, Lord Qin, requests an audience!"
The chief steward Wang Sande came in to report with courage.
"What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know. But Lord Qin said he has something important to report. I beg Your Majesty to see him."
The emperor and Jiang Huailiang looked at each other.
"Has anyone been restless lately?"
"I haven't heard of it, what's the matter?"
"Then why did Qin Zhenning look for me? I'm busy with the court and the harem every day, and my mind is almost dizzy."
Jiang Huailiang looked outside and turned around to ask.
"Then will Your Majesty see him?"
"See you! Come on, let's go take care of the government affairs first."
As the emperor was speaking, he walked to the door and saw his handsome and elegant Minister of Personnel standing outside the door with a respectful look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"No need to be polite! What urgent matter brought you to the palace?"
The emperor personally felt that he knew this man quite well. Although they had only spent a short time together, he could tell by his words and actions. Qin Zhenning was definitely not someone who was out of tune with others. He definitely wouldn't come to the palace to visit unless he had nothing to do.
Sure enough, the other party nodded and set off the bomb.
"I have come to report the audacity of Zhao Heran, Duke of Cheng'en, in his attempt to murder the crown prince. Your Majesty, would you allow me to enter the palace and report the entire matter?"
"What did you say?!"
The emperor couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. Zhao Heran had nearly pawned all of his family's underwear to help his eldest son secure the crown prince position. He'd finally gotten his eldest son the throne, and now he was plotting to murder him?
