"Your Majesty, I was wronged! I didn't collude with the enemy, and I didn't treason!" Xia Yuanzheng acted very hard, completely forgetting the pain, and cried proudly,
"Your Majesty, I was really wronged! There are a batch of weapons and arrows at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but I didn't collude with Dongfeng Kingdom at all, and even cheated the other party once! Please learn from your majesty." ah!"
"Li Aiqing, you say that Xia Aiqing colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, do you have any evidence?! If you slander officials higher than yourself, once you are found out, you will be dismissed." Bai Lijue said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, I dare not! I have evidence to prove that what I said is true." Li Wenchang took out another memorial from his sleeve and held it in both hands, "This includes the Please read Xia Yuanzheng's correspondence with the enemy, as well as the whole story of this matter."
The servant waiting at the side immediately took it and handed it to Bailijue.
Bailijue took it over, and after looking at it twice, he was immediately furious, and threw the memorial directly in front of the kneeling Xia Yuan, and said angrily,
"Xia Yuanzheng, okay! You are really brave! Look at what is written on it, what else do you have to say!"
Seeing this, all the officials craned their necks. They really wanted to see what was written on the memorial. Seeing His Majesty's furious look, Xia Yuan was being sentenced, it was definitely a certainty.
Chen Jingsheng frowned, he didn't expect that such a big event would happen to him only a few days after returning to court.
Selling weapons and arrows is such a felony, but it is necessary to ransack the family and exterminate the family. Xia Yuanzheng has fallen, and his daughter will naturally not be able to be a queen. Maybe their Chen family can produce another queen.
Xia Yuan was shaking his hands, holding the memorial in his hands, and after looking at it for a few times, he began to howl,
"Your Majesty, this is all nonsense! The minister never did such a thing! The signatures and fingerprints of those ministers are all fabricated!
What's more, I also have a memorial here, please read it through Your Majesty, I believe that after reading it, Your Majesty will definitely understand that I am innocent! "
Xia Yuan was talking about the end, there was no panic in his tone, he also took out a memorial from his sleeve, handed it to the servant next to him, and asked him to hand it to the emperor.
Bailijue naturally knew what was inside, but he took it over pretendingly, and looked back and forth carefully several times.
The officials below looked at His Majesty like this, and seeing that his anger seemed to have subsided, they were even more curious in their hearts, what exactly did Xia Yuanzheng show, and could there be a turning point in such things? !
Li Wenchang thumped in his heart, looked at the other officials who were loyal to Prince Rui, and exchanged expressions of calmness and calmness.
On the surface, Prince Rui has always been an idle prince, he has never let the early court and does not participate in political affairs, so at this time, he is not above the court, but just entrusted this matter to his confidantes to complete.
Therefore, seeing that Xia Yuanzheng took something out of his bosom, Li Wenchang and the others couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and cold sweat started to break out on their palms and forehead.
Bai Lijue finished reading at this time, closed the memorial, and asked in a calm tone, "Xia Aiqing, is what you said here really true?"
"Your Majesty, I guarantee it with my life. The above things are all true." Xia Yuan stood up straight, and said sonorously.
"Yeah." Baili Jue nodded lightly, and said, "My dear friends, you should also read these two memorials. Tell me who is real and who is fake."
Bai Lijue asked the servant to pass the two memorials to the officials for circulation, then looked at Xia Yuanzheng, and said, "Xia Aiqing, stop kneeling, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Yuan was getting up from the ground, feeling the pain coming from his knee, he couldn't help grinning.
Tsk, kneeling too hard just now, it hurts like hell. In the moment of excitement, the performance was a bit too hard.
Chen Jingsheng read Li Wenchang's memorial first, and then opened Xia Yuanzheng's, but after just a few glances, he felt his eyebrows twitch.
Prince Rui? All of this was done by Prince Rui? !
First, they colluded with Yan Peng, the general of Dongfeng Kingdom, and deliberately instigated Xia Yuanzheng and others to sell a batch of seemingly defective but actually qualified weapons and arrows to the other party. Evidence of treason.
In the end, he changed hands and took those weapons and arrows out of Yan Peng's hands, transported them back to the northwest fiefdom, and used these weapons and arrows to pretend to be the private soldiers he raised.
During this round and round, not only did he frame Xia Yuanzheng and the others, get rid of them, he also obtained the batch of weapons and arrows.
Seeing so much news, Chen Jingsheng was greatly shocked, Prince Rui, how dare he do such a disobedient thing!
Not only did he collude with people from the enemy country, he even raised soldiers in his own fief, and did so many things, Chen Jingsheng didn't believe that Prince Rui didn't want to rebel!
After Chen Jingsheng read it, he passed it on to the officials behind him in a daze, then raised his head, looked at His Majesty's calm face, and couldn't help thinking, His Majesty is so calm now, could it be that he already knew the news
Even Xia Yuanzheng and everything mentioned in the memorial just now had the participation of the emperor.
Chen Jingsheng couldn't help guessing, and his heart sank little by little following his guess.
The emperor is no longer the previous prince, and he is not the emperor who needs to rely on him when he first ascended the throne. Now his control over the officials and the entire court is no longer as weak as he thought before.
Such an emperor is no longer within his grasp.
Chen Jingsheng couldn't help thinking about the military power in his hands, should he go back to the southeast border? If you stay in the court, I'm afraid...
And just as Chen Jingsheng was thinking wildly, the two memorials had been quickly circulated among the officials.
After everyone finished watching, there was a horrified expression on their faces. Li Wenchang looked at the expressions of everyone, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and the cold sweat on his head became more and more.
When Xia Yuanzheng's memorial was passed to him, he almost couldn't wait to open it to check it out, but the more he read it, the paler his face became, and finally he could hardly hold the memorial with trembling hands.
Li Wenchang took a deep breath, barely letting himself collapse on the ground, and kept thinking about the countermeasures to solve this matter, thinking about rebuttals.
However, the things so clear in the memorial, and the evidence given, actually reminded him that it's over, everything is over.
Everything that Prince Rui did was known to the Emperor, the evidence was conclusive and there was no room for refutation.
