Chapter 406 Transfer to the Imperial Clan House
After Wang Yuyi finished speaking, before Emperor Kun could say anything, Li Shilang rushed forward like a madman, grabbed his arm, and said with a grudge,
"Who slapped her? Who hurt her?"
"what?"
Imperial Physician Wang was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
At this time, the captain of the guard took over the conversation.
"Lord Li, please let go. I have already investigated the matter thoroughly. Li Liangdi suddenly reported that the prince had secretly kept the dragon robe, which caused dissatisfaction among several ladies in the East Palace.
Therefore, she had a small physical conflict with Lu Liangyuan and Qian Shiqi. "
*
Minister Li roared,
"What little conflict? People are dead! Dead! You clearly knew it was not safe for my daughter to return to the East Palace, so why didn't you send someone to protect her?
What's your intention in letting yourself be hurt by those two crazy women for no reason?
My daughter was killed by you. You killed her because you failed to protect her.
My poor daughter! You died so unjustly. Daddy will definitely ask the emperor to redress your grievances, and he will never give up until he has avenged you."
Li Nantong seemed to have lost his mind and turned into a mad dog, barking and biting whoever he caught.
*
At this moment,
Donggong Lv Liangyuan's father was unhappy to hear his daughter being belittled like this.
He stepped forward and pointed at Li Shilang and asked,
"May I ask, Lord Li, what did your daughter do? We are all clear-sighted people.
Being struck to death by lightning out of nowhere, how much wrath from heaven and people must one have to have to be punished by heaven? !
Besides, my daughter is weak and helpless. What's wrong with beating your daughter when I'm so angry?
Did everyone at the scene become the murderer?"
"You?! You're just making a false argument. If your daughter hadn't done it, my Baoqi wouldn't have died."
"You're messing around."
The two wiped their faces and started clinking.
*
At this time, an old minister who couldn't stand it any longer stepped forward and asked,
"Sir Li, there are so many people in the palace today, including us, how come nothing happened after that thunder?
Why did God kill your daughter alone?
God is watching what people do. Whether your daughter did a good thing or a bad thing, our wise emperor will make the decision.
But you are so adamant that your daughter is innocent.
Then, does that mean the prince is not innocent?
Or was it you who masterminded all of this, and you and your daughter colluded to frame the prince?"
"You? You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
Another person who seemed to know the situation stepped forward and asked,
"Sir Li, your daughter is not favored in the East Palace, but you can't frame the prince like this, right?"
"Oh? I see. This is extremely vicious."
For a while, there was a lot of chatter in the hall, and the various factions took the opportunity to attack each other again.
*
Li Liangdi's father felt heartbroken as he listened to the repeated questions and thought of his daughter's sudden death.
But thinking of his son who had returned home safely, he closed his eyes, knowing he had no choice.
Then he knelt on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed several times to Emperor Kun.
"I beg the emperor to see through this and redress my daughter's injustice! I beg the emperor to see through this and redress my daughter's injustice!"
The repeated weeping and wailing words seemed to infect and resonate with the audience, and the ministers of Prime Minister Xiao's faction also knelt on the ground and petitioned.
"Your Majesty is wise! I beg you to be more discerning."
"Your Majesty, Donggong Li Liangdi has the courage to stand up and expose the truth for the sake of justice. This action should be commended and protected.
There will be more Li Liangdi who dare to stand up and challenge evil in the future. Our Daliang will be clear and prosperous in the future.
Your Majesty is wise, please be careful and don't let the righteous people feel disappointed."
"I beg the Emperor to severely punish the prince."
Emperor Kun showed no expression, but the Empress Dowager was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted,
"What are you doing? Forcing the emperor to abdicate? You all keep saying that the emperor is wise.
But you accused the prince of treason without any reason, is this how you, as subjects, are loyal to your king?"
The ministers kneeling on the ground did not stand up after hearing this, but kowtowed one after another,
"I dare not. I beg the emperor to be vigilant and severely punish the prince's illegal behavior. Return peace to our Daliang."
When the stalemate was at its peak,
*
Just at this time,
The eunuch outside the hall hurried in to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Kang requests an audience."
"Xuan."
Hearing this, everyone shut up and looked towards the door.
Prince Kang, who was already in his seventies, walked in supported by someone.
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Kun leaned forward and stretched out his hand.
"No need to be polite, old uncle. Please take a seat."
Eunuch De quickly had someone bring a chair and asked the old uncle to sit down.
The Queen stood up and greeted her.
"Uncle Royal is well!"
Prince Kang nodded to her, turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother, panting, and said,
"Imperial sister-in-law is well!"
The Queen Mother said unhappily,
"Prince Kang, you are old now, so why not accept your age? You should take care of yourself and stay at home to enjoy your grandchildren.
Don't worry about the affairs of the court! It's not good to be tired. "
Prince Kang's breathing stagnated, and he replied,
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother is absolutely right. I remember that you are a few years older than me, right?!"
"Humph!"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her head away in anger and ignored him.
Prince Kang was seen laughing while breathing like a bellows.
*
He turned around with a changed expression, and said unhappily to Emperor Kun in the manner of an imperial uncle,
"Your Majesty, today I heard that the Crown Prince secretly hid the dragon robe and intended to rebel. I was so angry that I almost fainted. Your Majesty must not tolerate such a traitor."
He finished speaking while panting, and the Queen exclaimed,
"Old uncle, are you going to convict the crown prince based on only one side of the story?"
The Queen Mother was also angry and asked with a stern face,
"Prince Kang is really getting old and confused! Whether the prince is really plotting treason has not yet been tried, and the matter has not yet been concluded.
What do you mean? Are you trying to convict the prince unilaterally?
As a highly respected Zongzheng of the Zongrenfu, are you so upright in your conduct?"
"You? Your Majesty Queen Mother, you are wrong. Although I am old, I am not deaf. As a member of the royal family, as long as I live, I will never allow any scandal to occur in the royal family."
"What is a scandal?" the Queen Mother asked repeatedly. Today she really couldn't stand this old man who came uninvited and jumped around everywhere!
*
Emperor Kun was tired of listening and had lost his patience.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was really angry, Emperor Kun coughed twice.
Then Eunuch De shouted loudly,
"Quiet!"
In an instant, everyone in the hall's mouths were sealed, and there was complete silence.
Emperor Kun looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and the ministers standing beside them, and slowly spoke,
"Today, the Crown Prince was reported for hiding the dragon robe and plotting rebellion. Is it true or false?
No matter what the purpose of the informant is, even if the person has suddenly died, the matter must be thoroughly investigated.
This case will be handed over to Chief Guard Li and the Imperial Clan Bureau for a thorough investigation."
