Chapter 384 Murong Jie's Purpose
The empress dowager was sitting beside the empress, seeing her trembling fingertips, the empress dowager sighed quietly in her heart, what a crime.
The crown prince raised his head and looked at Murong Jie, "Although I stole the blood antelope horn, I was fighting with the brothers of the King of Liang. How can I say that I am disloyal and unfilial? If the uncle means that I was stabbed by him After more than thirty knives, you can still consider him as an elder brother and be filial to him, then please forgive me for not being a saint, I can't do it, so I can deal with it as the uncle wants."
Master Cui said: "His Royal Highness, the one who needs the blood antelope horn is not His Royal Highness King Liang, but Princess Zhen Guo."
The prince was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Liang Shulin at the door. Liang Shulin lowered his head and did not look into the hall.
"This... this palace doesn't know." The prince argued, but he wanted to tear Liang Shulin into pieces.
Murong Jie suddenly slapped the armrest of the chair, and said sharply: "Is it possible to excuse yourself if you don't know? Now that Princess Zhen Guo is in danger because you stole the blood antelope horn, you have committed the crime of disloyalty and disfilial piety. For the prince, you don’t do business, do these sneaky things every day, to seek personal grievances, you think the blood antelope horn is the only lifeline for King Liang, so you order someone to steal it to cut off his way of life, no matter who uses the blood antelope horn, You're all guilty of murder."
The Taifu stood up again, and retorted: "My lord, what you said is not appropriate. The prince said that he intended to steal the blood antelope horn to intimidate the king of Liang. He didn't know that the slave would lose it. This was unintentional." Wrong, although there is a mistake, it can be forgiven, and the prince also has a previous reason for doing this. The king of Liang broke into the palace for a folk girl and hurt the prince first, regardless of brotherhood. Although the prince's revenge is irrational, it can be forgiven. Well, the Prince Liang’s serious injury was not caused by the prince. You said that he committed a felony murder, which is unreasonable. I think it’s not true. It’s at most a personal revenge. He didn’t know that the eldest princess needed blood antelope horns to save her life. Yes, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and he is no wonder."
Murong Jie said coldly: "Those who don't know are not guilty? This king wants to ask the royal clan and the court ministers, do you know that the blood antelope horn is used to save the princess?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all said they knew, because they had already posted the imperial list to find the blood antelope horn, so how could they not know?
"This king posted the imperial list and paid a lot of money to find the blood antelope horn. Anyone who cares about the princess knows about it, but the prince said he didn't know. It's nonsense. You can visit the princess' mansion a few times, how can you not know about it? "
The prince said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I just don't know, I care about the eldest princess, but I'm not a doctor, how can I know what medicine to use? Besides, what good is it for me to kill the eldest princess? Mr. Gong must have a motive, right?"
Murong Jie said coldly: "You went to the gate of the princess mansion the other day, and someone overheard you asking the concierge if the princess needed blood antelope horns for help, and the concierge told you yes, after asking, you muttered, You have to get the blood antelope horn, and you have a porter to testify, and you still don’t admit it?”
Hearing such injustice, the crown prince was furious, "You are spitting blood, I have never spoken to the concierge at the gate of the princess mansion, but I just saw that little bitch come out and learned that she is the sweetheart of this useless man, King Liang, so I immediately He ordered someone to arrest him, and he didn't stay for a quarter of an hour, so you Murong Jie, if you want to enter the palace, you have to produce ironclad evidence, instead of blindly framing him."
"Shut up!" The queen jumped up in shock and stood up abruptly, "Stop talking nonsense."
The prince was startled, and looked at the queen blankly, not knowing what he said wrong.
Murong Jie said with a livid face: "You said before that you took Wang Yi'er away because she was provocative and insulted you. You took her away in a moment of anger, but now you said you saw her come out and learned that she is the sweetheart of King Liang. , and immediately took her away, which sentence you said is true?"
The prince said angrily: "You are so cunning, how dare you use my words like this? I have no inconsistencies. She first made provocative words, and then I learned that she is the sweetheart of King Liang, so I took her away to take revenge on King Liang. That's right, Bengong admitted that he wanted to seek revenge on King Liang, but Wang Yi'er was not harmed. I just arrested her and went to the imperial temple to listen to Buddhist music. The women of the people went to war so violently that they even summoned hundreds of officials and clan relatives to enter the palace to discuss their crimes, so you are targeting me and trying to pile up charges to depose me so that you can ascend to the throne and fulfill your hegemony ambitions, right?"
The crown prince's stern questioning got Mr. Liang's approval, and Mrs. Liang said in a strange way: "That's right, the prince's questioning of the crime today is also incoherent. He just made up a crime and magnified it so that everyone feels that the prince has no virtue, and then mobilizes everyone to depose the prince. It's ulterior motives."
Murong Jie was not impatient at all, and said: "Whether this king is accusing him of crimes or whether the crown prince has really lost his morals, we will know soon."
He looked at King Bao'an, the deputy head of the clan, "Uncle Huang, Xiao Wang wants to ask Uncle Huang a word, if the current crown prince forcibly seizes the princess of the state, detains him forcibly and asks his servants to insult him, what crime should he propose?"
King Bao'an said: "If this crime is confirmed, it will be abolished!"
Murong Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, at this point, I will sort out the past and the consequences for everyone, so as to relieve everyone's doubts. Just now the Taifu said that the king's questioning of crimes has no rules, and it is a crime to pile up casually. However, all things originated from one person, that is, the queen. The queen's eccentricity made the prince domineering and indifferent, and also made the king of Liang suffer a lot of grievances and abuse. Everyone knows that the king of Liang, Murong Xin , is a cruel man, but is it true?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The queen didn't expect that Murong Jie would accuse her of crimes in the end, and was suddenly furious.
Many people suddenly understood when they saw this, today's crime discussion was not about the crown prince, but the current empress.
It is a fact that the crown prince is incompetent. What the crown prince has done, whether he is deposed or not, is not the most important thing right now. However, the actions of the queen and the grand tutor will directly affect this battle for imperial power.
This means that the battle for contention has already started in the imperial court, but many foreign ministers don't know it.
Everyone's guess is correct, but Murong Jie has another purpose, that is, he wants to stop the things that the queen planned to do first.
The empress once said that if she wanted to seize the title of King Liang, even though she was still a prince, she was very different from a prince. A prince had no real power, but a prince had it. A prince had soldiers and a fief.
Another point is that he wants to justify the name of King Liang, and let everyone know that someone deliberately smeared the violent and vicious King Liang that was rumored outside.
Why did Murong Jie rectify the name of King Liang? In these years, he has never said a word for King Liang, and he has not investigated all kinds of things behind it. It is because at that time, no matter who King Liang is, it will not affect his normal life. Life, the king of Liang at that time, only asked for a normal life.
However, it is different now, since he is determined to depose the crown prince, he has to rectify the name of King Liang, so that the clan and all the officials know what kind of person King Liang really is.
