Chapter 310: Seizing the throne and murdering Prince Ning
"Father, I was really unaware of the murder of Prince Ning Feiyuan. Someone must have deliberately framed me and slandered me."
Emperor Ming got a headache when he heard about this. It had been more than a month since the incident and he had no intention of doing anything to Beigong Yu. However, this fool kept pursuing the matter and even did not stop during the New Year. He would cry out his grievances from time to time, leaving him no peace.
Emperor Ming was annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. "According to what you said, who is deliberately trying to frame you?"
Beigong Yu glanced at Beigong Shu who was not far away, his eyes were gloomy, "I thought that Prince Ning was a noble prince, and the court officials only dared to respect him and did not dare to take action against him. Only some people who wanted to eliminate dissidents would not want Prince Ning to be in good health."
"Father, although the Dali Temple is under my supervision, my fourth brother is the God of War of Beiliang. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. How could I want to see him get into trouble? I'm afraid someone wants to kill two birds with one stone, and while attacking my fourth brother, bring me down as well, so that they can be the only one in power."
As soon as Beigong Yu said this, the faces of the King of Wei, the King of Qi, the King of Shu, and the King of An who were present all turned pale.
asshole!
Beigong Yu was out of his mind. What he said just now was just short of pointing at their names and accusing them of plotting to murder King Ning.
Once he is accused of fratricide, it is unclear whether he can even keep his current position, let alone fight for the throne.
Prince An's face was full of innocence. "Father, I only know how to eat. I don't know anything else."
The King of Wei quickly came out to distance himself from the matter, "Father, when Fourth Brother got into trouble, I was still in Dayan, so I didn't know about this."
The King of Qi was also panicked, his expression unable to hide his grief, "Father, you know me well. The princess and the prince died one after another. I was so heartbroken that I didn't even leave the house. I didn't know anything about this."
After the two of them came out to clear themselves of the matter, King Shu's face turned pale and he almost couldn't maintain his gentle expression.
He underestimated Beigong Yu.
I didn't expect that this idiot would really find out about me.
He also found an opportunity to make trouble in front of his father during the morning court session.
It was he who murdered Beigong Youfeiyuan, so what? Beigong Yu's shouting here just proves that he has no evidence.
Without evidence, just deny it till death.
Beigong Shu also came out to play the victim, pretending to be gentle and harmless, "Father, I... I don't know about this either. Father knows, but I have been in my fiefdom for many years and only returned to the capital on the eve of the Emperor's birthday. I don't know anyone in the court."
"I don't think so." Beigong Yu retorted, "Father, I heard that Prince Shu gave gifts to the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister and the six ministers at the end of the year. When I went to the homes of court officials to congratulate them on happy events, I always met Prince Shu. I also ran into Prince Shu and the ministers in the court having a good chat several times."
"So what?" Beigong Shu was calm and even showed a warm smile.
"I am also the son of the emperor, and I am not in the capital for many years and cannot share my father's worries. I feel guilty. Now that I have returned to the capital, I would like to send some gifts to express my gratitude to the ministers for their hard work throughout the year. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"You!" Beigong Yu was almost angry.
He hadn't dealt with Beigong Shu for many years, so he didn't know that Beigong Shu was so eloquent.
It turned out that this man had been planning to seize the throne for a long time. First, it was the gift for the Emperor's birthday, and then it was the matter of the Dali Temple.
Beigong Yu's eyes flashed with a sinister look, "This doesn't excuse you for ordering someone to assassinate Prince Ning Feiyuan."
"Father, I am innocent." Beigong Shu cried out, "It is well known that the Dali Temple is the territory of Prince Jing. How could a prince who has lived in his fiefdom for many years place someone in the Dali Temple?"
"King Jing, please don't just cry thief and make random accusations when you can't catch the murderer."
Beigong Shu looked at Beigong Yu with a hint of provocation, his smile very gentle.
Beigong Yu was so angry when he saw him like this, but he suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, turned to Emperor Ming and said, "Father, I have heard Prince Shu mention living in his fiefdom many times, and I think he must miss it very much."
"Now that the Wanshou Festival and the New Year have passed, it is not in accordance with etiquette for Prince Shu to leave his fiefdom for so long. He should return earlier. As for Prince Ning's lung disease, I will find out the real culprit and give an explanation to my father."
"Yes, Your Majesty." With Beigong Yu taking the lead, people from the Ministry of Rites also spoke up, "It is inappropriate for Prince Shu to stay in Beijing for a long time."
Beigong Shu's face changed immediately when he heard this. He never expected that Beigong Yu would trick him in this matter.
He secretly clenched his fists and thought quickly in his mind.
It seems that the matter of investigating the source of his lungs was false, and the real purpose was to drive him back to his fiefdom.
He had finally returned to the capital from his fiefdom, how could he go back so easily?
Beigong Shu forced a smile, "King Jing and Lord Liu are wrong. The fiefdom is safe, and it doesn't matter whether I am here or not. What's more..."
He bowed to Emperor Ming with an earnest expression, "My fiefdom is far away, and I haven't been filial to you for a long time. I feel guilty as a subject. I beg you to stay by your side and be filial to you as much as possible."
Beigong Yu immediately retorted, "We have already fulfilled our filial duties to our father. Now that the King of Wei has returned, there are more capable people around our father. The King of Shu should return to his fiefdom as soon as possible."
“Father…”
"Alright." Emperor Ming interrupted their argument in a deep voice, glanced at Beigong Shu and made a decision, "After the Lantern Festival, Prince Shu should return to his fiefdom."
Beigong Shu was stunned, "Father, your son..."
"If there is nothing else, then leave the court."
After Emperor Ming said this, there was no turning back. Beigong Shu could only watch Emperor Ming leave and secretly clenched his fists.
Having achieved his goal, Beigong Yu felt relaxed all over, and walked up to Beigong Shu with a swagger, "There are only a few days left before the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, Prince Shu must cherish these last few days, after all, it will be difficult to return to the capital in the future."
Beigong Shu was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He said with a fake smile, "Beigong Yu, don't be too happy too soon. We'll see what happens."
"Okay, I will wait for Prince Shu in Kyoto, but I'm afraid Prince Shu won't have this opportunity."
Beigong Yu was in a good mood and laughed at Beigong Shu before leaving.
Beigong Shu was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of everyone. After returning to Prince Shu's Mansion with a lot of anger, he went straight to Chen Zhimo's yard.
After a while, the sound of porcelain breaking and the woman screaming in pain could be heard. It was not until half an hour later that it stopped...
…
The news that Beigong Shu and Beigong Yu had failed in their duel reached Lin Miaoyin's ears after the court session.
Knowing that the two of them were fighting through the lungs just to defeat each other, Lin Miaoyin couldn't help but feel a little angry.
In order to gain that position, they treated human lives as worthless and even wanted to take Beigong You's life as well. It was really disgusting. By the time they found the source of the lung disease, Beigong You would have been reincarnated long ago.
Lin Miaoyin glanced at the unconscious Beigong You and knew it was time to use a new treatment plan.
