Li Lifan laughed, glanced condescendingly at Yu Zuolin, and said, "Master Yu, as far as I know, the prince's trip back to the imperial capital this time is secretive and low-key. He only pretends to be an ordinary family visiting relatives and friends. . If Mr. Yu hadn’t insisted on escorting him and acted in an increasingly high-profile manner, which exposed the whereabouts of the prince, how could the prince be ambushed and his whereabouts unknown? "
Yu Zuolin really hates this Ion Fan. Isn't he in bad health? Wasn’t it true that you couldn’t even come to court some time ago? Why is he so energetic just after a long trip
However, although he was angry in his heart, he could only suppress it.
Hearing what he said, he was shocked and turned pale. He raised his head and said, "What do you mean by your right minister's words? What the prince encountered were robbers. Those people were robbing families and being extremely vicious. Even ordinary civilians, As long as they pass by that forest, they will not let it go. How does it have anything to do with being high-profile? "
The Seventh Prince also nodded, "Father, now is really not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong. The top priority is for Master Yu to lead the imperial guards to quickly find the fifth brother. This matter cannot be delayed. Among the missing people , and Princess Tianfu of Tianyu Kingdom, if this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor of Tianyu Kingdom, I’m afraid they won’t let it go.”
As he spoke, he winked at the ministers beside him.
Afterwards, several people in the queue behind Ion Fan stepped forward to agree, "Your Majesty, what the Seventh Prince said is absolutely true."
The emperor's brows were almost tied into a knot, and he tugged slightly with his fingers. Just as he was about to give the order, Li Fang said again, "The seventh prince's words are wrong. Your Majesty Yu's actions are really suspicious. If he is allowed to lead again, If people go looking for Prince Xiu, I am afraid that Prince Xiu will be in greater danger."
"What does the right minister mean by this?"
"Your Majesty." Ion Fan ignored the Seventh Prince's question and just raised his eyes and said, "Master Yu said that there were hundreds of robbers encountered. If they were dealing with ordinary civilians, how could they send so many people. I'm afraid. There are only three reasons.”
"What three reasons?" the emperor asked. Before Xiu'er went to the Mongols, he had a deep conversation with him and said that he could rely more on his right minister for everything.
The right prime minister had a deep affection for him and was meticulous in his actions, so the emperor naturally favored him.
"First, Mr. Yu acted in a high profile and exposed Prince Xiu's identity, so that the robbers made great efforts to deal with Prince Xiu."
"Second, the robbers saw the imperial guards led by Lord Yu. Such a large number of guards can also let people know that Prince Xiu and his party have a noble status, and they are not merciless in robbing families."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Zuolin and said with a smile, "But these two reasons are somewhat untenable."
"What do you say?" Suddenly a voice came from the right side.
Ion Fan took a look and found that it was the sixth prince who had always been silent and who rarely spoke and was often ignored by everyone.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he continued, "Whether it is knowing the true identity of Prince Xiu, or guessing the status of the group based on the guards led by Mr. Yu, anyone with any brains will know, Prince Xiu and his party cannot move. I believe that if the number of robbers reaches hundreds, then they are no ordinary robbers. If they have grown to such a huge size, the leader must be very smart."
"Smart people all understand that touching such people will inevitably cause a big sensation. At that time, there will even be officers and soldiers to exterminate them. Prince Xiu and his party only have a few carriages, and they don't have a lot of money. They want to It is unfeasible for a few carriages to take such a risk."
The Sixth Prince listened and nodded frequently, "That makes sense. These two reasons are indeed untenable. If that's the case, what about the third reason?"
Ion Fan glanced at the Sixth Prince again, then his eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice, "The third reason is that those people are not robbers at all!!"
"What??" The emperor frowned, "What does the right minister mean?"
"These people are not robbers at all, but they have known the identity of Prince Xiu for a long time and ambushed Prince Xiu there. Otherwise, how could they deal with Prince Xiu specifically? Prince Xiu and his party were all scattered. Shen The eagle is also dead, but the Imperial Guards led by Mr. Yu were only destroyed in half? You must know that Prince Xiu is very powerful in martial arts, and the guards around him are even more skilled. How can the Imperial Guards led by Mr. Yu survive these catastrophes? He escaped from the hands of bandits, why can't Prince Xiu?"
The emperor's expression suddenly changed. His words were so clear that everyone in the hall who could understand the meaning changed their expressions.
Even the Seventh Prince was shocked and even wanted to step forward to defend himself.
However, Li Liofan was one step ahead of him, his voice was high and sonorous, "Prince Xiu's identity was known and he was ambushed. Wasn't it all caused by Master Yu? As a result, Prince Xiu and his entourage were all missing and killed, but Master Yu instead Safe and sound, is this the escort Mr. Yu said? Haha, this is simply ridiculous. You and Prince Xiu have a personal vendetta. Who knows whether you are avenging your personal vendetta and deliberately keeping the imperial guards away from right and wrong. How dare you send someone who is looking for Xiu to do so? Will I leave the prince’s affairs to you?”
After hearing this, the emperor was furious. He stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, scanned the memorial on the imperial case, and said in a cold voice, "Come, I will put Yu Zuolin in jail and wait for your fate."
The seventh prince took a breath and hurriedly knelt down, "Father, please calm down, my lord, he..."
"There is no need to say more at this time. I ordered him to capture the prisoner. He was not loyal to his duty, but instead caused the disaster to Prince Xiu. Huh, I forgot that last time he ran to Jiangcheng for a concubine and left the imperial capital alone. . Acting like this and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions makes me deeply disappointed. Lao Qi, what you should do now is to look for your fifth brother, and if you bother with Yu Zuorin, you will make me doubt your intentions. "
The seventh prince's face turned pale and he lowered his eyes, not daring to say another word.
Yu Zuolin was completely stunned. When he saw this, he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has been wronged. Everything he said is true. The Prime Minister is clearly framing the fault."
The emperor didn't want to listen to him at all, he frowned and waved his hand.
The guard who escorted him down immediately blocked his mouth and dragged him down.
The emperor then breathed out softly and sat on the dragon chair again.
There was silence in the hall, no one dared to speak anymore.
After a long time, I heard the emperor's low voice, "The most urgent thing is to find Prince Xiu first. Right Minister, what do you have in mind?"
"Your Majesty, in addition to Your Excellency Yu, there were about a dozen Imperial Guards present at the time. Let them lead the way. If you search carefully in that area, you can always find clues."
