"This move of yours is wonderful. On the battlefield of Shenxu, you delayed me by retreating. In fact, you already had a plan to let me get that inheritance, and your ambition is even greater." Li Yuguo said, "It's a pity that you You missed the best opportunity to kill me."
"Oh? I'm curious about how your old rival would analyze it." Ye Qiong said with a smile.
"First, you directly withdrew your men at that time. Little did you know that when we were practicing, we were the most vulnerable. If you had taken action at that time, my death would have been inevitable. Second... at that time, you killed my sworn brother and forced me to If my second sworn brother dies, then you can forge evidence and point the finger at me, and then you can have someone kill me first and then show off, and I will definitely die."
Li Huguo's words made veins on Ye Qiong's forehead rise. He also knew that he had made a mistake. The huge plan was mainly focused on the throne. In fact, the plan could be made more perfect, that is, to directly deal with Li Huguo.
But in fact, just like what Wutong Ye said, he wanted to torture Li Yuguo, and he already thought that he would win. Little did he know that pride is a taboo for military strategists, so Li Yuguo was taken to the sky prison, and he did not execute him, but waited until tomorrow If he is questioned in court early in the morning, there is a high probability that Li Huguo will escape death.
What is embarrassing is that all the previous evidence was used against the eldest prince and Ji Wushuang. Now there is no backup plan to deal with Li Huguo. Although Li Huguo may die, he is not certain to die.
"Even if you can escape death, so what. You are already on my list, and I will not let you have an easy time in the future. Okay... It's almost time now. It won't be long before the crown prince's coronation ceremony." The eldest prince said and left quietly, leaving Li Yuguo alone in the prison, meditating and silent.
Early the next morning, Li Huguo was brought to the main hall. At this time, Li Huguo was already wearing shackles and was kneeling in front of the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't speak, but the eunuch next to him shouted loudly: "Criminal Li Huguo, do you know your crime?!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder piercing the ears, so full of power that it made people's souls tremble and moved.
Li Huguo was in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I was on Shenxu Island when the incident happened, and there are many people who can testify for me."
"But the eldest prince and Na Ji Wushuang are your sworn brothers, right or wrong?" the eldest eunuch said.
Li Yuguo smiled and shook his head: "Yes, but that's not the case. We are sworn brothers and we don't get together for more than one day. Because the catastrophe in Tianlang City gave us a feeling of heroes cherishing each other, so we became sworn brothers with different surnames. Without the slightest understanding of their plan, Wei Chen just wanted to seek enlightenment, so he went to Shenxu Island. He narrowly escaped death on Shenxu Island. Wei Chen had His Majesty's glorious protection, so he was the leader. He originally planned to return to Beijing to tell His Majesty the good news, but Who would have thought... When the Dong Chuang Incident happened, this incident actually happened."
"So, you don't know anything about this matter?" the emperor said.
Li Yuguo said: "Yes, but I investigated one thing clearly!"
The emperor's eyes lit up: "Say it!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiong among the ministers became nervous. He thought to himself: Could it be that Li Hugo had evidence to prove his identity
However, Li Yuguo did not find the evidence as Ye Qiong thought. He said: "I can prove that the eldest prince is innocent. Even though Ji Wushuang has the intention to rebel, the eldest prince does not know about it!"
"Now that my eldest son is dead, is there any point in talking about this?"
"Your Majesty, if the eldest prince is really innocent, does your majesty want the eldest prince to be wronged?" Li Huguo said unceremoniously.
At this time, the emperor also fell silent. After a long time, the prime minister said: "You can't protect yourself now. You are just using procrastination tactics to delay your own death!"
"I have a gold medal to avoid death!" Li Hugo said, "And I have no motive to participate in this incident!"
Li Hugo took out a belt from his arms. This was the gold medal for immunity from death, and Li Hugo had stuck the gold medal on the belt in advance.
The emperor exclaimed: "Where did you get this death-free gold medal?"
"Reporting to your majesty, my father is General Li Guangyi of the Haotian duo. My father conquered many places and left behind a gold medal given by the late emperor. This gold medal can show my loyalty to Haotian, and I I'm still engaged to the princess, so why should I do those random things to delay my future?"
Li Huguo's words were appropriate. He first used the gold medal for immunity from death as a shield. In fact, he didn't know whether his father had a gold medal for immunity from death, but his father's loyalty was to the late emperor, not this emperor.
As a result, the current emperor cannot search his father's death-free gold medal. After all, how could he know everything the emperor and his father gave him
The queen next to her also nodded repeatedly when she heard this. She didn't expect that Li Yuguo had such a strategy and used the gold medal she gave him to make up a story.
Of course, the queen did not intend to expose it, because she also wanted to clear her son's innocence.
Seeing the gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor, the prime minister was speechless at this time and quickly pushed it down. After all, it was a symbol of imperial power. If anyone had any doubts about Li Huguo, it would be disrespectful to the late emperor. As the prince, Ye Qiong didn't have to talk too much.
This is equivalent to when playing cards, when you are at the end of your rope, a king bomb suddenly appears, immediately leaving everyone around you speechless!
Li Huguo's use of the death-free gold medal of unknown origin and the use of the death-free gold medal left by the late emperor are completely two concepts, one is heaven and the other is earth.
At this time, the emperor's expression also softened a little: "Even if this proves that you are not guilty, so what? Can you clear the grievances of the eldest prince?!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I promise to investigate the matter and get to the bottom of it within a month. If not, I am willing to die in front of the palace!" Li Huguo said respectfully.
The emperor stroked his beard and said slowly: "Okay, I will give you one month! But during this period, you are not allowed to leave the capital!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Li Huguo said.
At this time, Li Yuguo was removed from his shackles and imprisoned in this deep palace. At dusk, the queen came to Li Yuguo's residence in person.
Li Huguo now wears an anklet on his foot. This anklet cannot be taken off. Once Li Yuguo wants to leave the capital, the anklet will automatically notify the Ministry of Punishment, and Li Yuguo naturally has no intention of leaving.
Seeing the queen, Li Yuguo was about to bow down, but the queen said: "No need to give in, you used it beautifully this time, but what I don't understand is, why did you accept this promise?"
"If I didn't answer the call, the real murderer wouldn't have appeared." Li Huguo said.
The queen was shocked and immediately ordered the maids on the left and right: "You all should step aside. I want to have a private chat with General Li."
