Chapter 125 The real intention
"Father, my son's case in Qingming Temple was not malicious at all, and the organization setting up did not hurt anyone. I just want to remind my father that the prince connives with the Prime Minister Lu Nanchang and the officials to protect each other and form cliques for personal gain!"

"Prime Minister Lu Nanchang celebrated the Chinese New Year as an official and committed countless evil deeds. The most egregious of them was colluding with the Nanman barbarians, buying and selling military information, and even framed Zhang Changfeng, the Minister of War at that time!!!"

Just now, Xie Qi discovered that the arson was fake, and the real intention was to take advantage of the chaos to burn the evidence of Lu Nanchang's crimes that he and Yan Dongze had painstakingly collected over the years!
"You mean, the battle three years ago?"

The emperor sat upright and gradually listened carefully to Xie Qi's words.

Three years ago, it was because someone colluded with the Nanman that Xie Qicai was defeated and captured and became a hostage.

However, at that time, it was Lu Nanchang who exposed Zhang Chengfeng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and was ordered to destroy the entire Zhang family!
"Yes, Father, actually Yan Dongze was one of my lieutenant generals back then. After the defeat, he led the remaining soldiers back to the camp, only to find that someone from Beizhao was killing people in the army!"

"So in desperation, he took the rest of the people and others to lurk secretly and established Huya Village outside the capital in order to find out the truth about that year."

"I was in the Southern Barbarians and didn't know anything about the Zhang family, but I used the power of the little emperor to find out that it was Lu Nanchang who colluded with the Southern Barbarian general Lin Haizhi back then! This resulted in Beizhao's defeat!"

"A year ago, Yan Dongze tried to go to Nanman to rescue me. Only then did I know that Lu Nanchang would not hesitate to collude with other countries in order to help the prince harm me, and even framed Master Zhang!"

"Later, an accident happened that Dongze and Lu Manman met, and he pretended to poison Lu Manman, threatening her to help us find evidence from the house. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Lu Manman successfully obtained the forged documents of Lu Nanchang. The official seal of the Ministry of War!”

"Father, this is the official seal. If you look closely, you can see the difference. The more than a thousand people who survived the incident are in the capital now and can go to court to testify at any time!"

"Furthermore, I discovered in the Southern Barbarians that the third brother did not die due to the failure of the peace talks. He was instigated by someone in the Southern Barbarians, and was finally killed by Lin Haizhi. The Southern Barbarians are currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and their national power is empty. They are willing to negotiate for peace!"

"I seriously suspect that Lu Nanchang is behind all this. There was a fire in my palace just now, and I found that someone wanted to take the opportunity to burn the evidence, so I had no choice but to disturb my father's rest late at night.

"Father, I originally wanted Yan Dongze to assist Su Chenxu in investigating Su Jingping's death, so that he could expose the Crown Prince and Lu Nanchang's actions openly in the hall, but they should have discovered my private actions... "

Su Jingran's death was unexpected by Xie Qi, but the Qingming Temple case was indeed his fault. Xie Qi wanted to prevent Lu Nanchang from blaming Su Jingran's death on himself.

The only thing we can do is to find out the truth and prove our innocence!

Unfortunately, for three days, neither Su Chenxu nor Yan Dongze could find any clues.

He didn't even know how Su Jingran disappeared from the room out of thin air!
"Lu Manman didn't want to kill his father and told Lu Nanchang everything. It's normal for them to be on guard."

The emperor slowly said that what Xie Qi said about Lu Manman was consistent with what he knew, but to prove that what Xie Qi said was true, it needed to be verified slowly.

"Father?"

Xie Qi was stunned and looked at the old man in the high position in disbelief. The emperor actually knew...

Immediately, Xie Qi smiled bitterly. Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from the emperor!
"Father, these are all the criminal evidences about the prince and Lu Nanchang that Yan Dongze and I have collected in the past three years. I hope my father will check them!"

Xie Qi took out a thick stack of memorials from his arms, including the layout plan of the initial palace that Lu Manman had stolen from the Prime Minister's Palace, Lu Nanchang's secret letter and several forged official seals!

Suddenly, just when Xie Qi was about to present evidence, Xie Qian rushed in regardless.

"Father! Father is not good! Second brother, he is going to rebel!!!" Xie Qian looked nervous and hurriedly pushed away the eunuch who stopped him, looking very urgent.

Suddenly, the eunuch chief paused when he was about to take the evidence, and turned to look at the emperor at a loss.

The second prince said that the prince had committed many crimes, but the prince said that the second prince wanted to rebel?

This……

Who is real?
Xie Qian rushed into the hall, was obviously stunned when he saw Xie Qi, and shouted nervously.

"Father, my son found out that Xie Qi and Yan Dongze had the intention of treason. Not long ago, they sent more than a thousand dead servants to sneak into the capital, and 30,000 troops were stationed outside the city, waiting for orders at any time!"

"And, just now, I saw a fireworks display from the army. The 30,000-strong army may have moved!!!"

Xie Qian spoke plausibly and had the momentum to bring order to the chaos. He stared at Xie Qi who was also in the hall.

"what?"

The 30,000-strong army was supposed to follow Dongze and return to the capital to receive the reward. They should have left after the celebration banquet. Why were they still secretly stationed outside the capital?

The emperor was horrified. He really didn't know who to listen to for a moment. He looked around at the two princes below. One was really more powerful than the other!
"Father, before Lu Manman returned to Beijing, he was poisoned and coerced by Yan Dongze, and was even threatened to kill the prime minister. This is evidence. If father doesn't believe it, you can summon Lu Manman at any time!"

Both of them also have witnesses and physical evidence. The only person who can prove the authenticity is Lu Manman!
Unfortunately, the poison in Lu Manman's body has been detoxified, and it is impossible to find out whether she has been poisoned by Yan Dongze before!
Did Yan Dongze pretend to poison and wanted Lu Manman to find evidence?

Or was he poisoning intentionally to kill Lu Nanchang?
All this has long been over!
"emperor……"

The chief eunuch standing in front of Xie Qi had no idea. He looked at the emperor without saying a word and wondered whether he should get evidence of the prince's involvement.

"This is impossible, those 30,000 troops have already left!"

When Xie Qi heard that Xie Qian said that someone set off fireworks for the military gathering, he immediately rejected it.

At that time, the 30,000-strong army was brought by the third prince Xie Si to guard the border. Because Xie Si was captured, they fought hard and held on, preventing the southern barbarians from breaking through the border.

That’s why Xie Qi decided to take them back to Beijing to receive their rewards and reunite with their families!
After the celebration banquet, Yan Dongze had ordered the army to return to the border, and it was impossible to appear outside the capital again!
"But Yan Dongze has already led his men in from outside. What else do you have to say, Xie Qi?"

Xie Qian strode forward and asked sternly, causing Xie Qi to be at a loss and his eyes widened in shock.

Yan Dongze actually led people to rebel?

"Xie Qi, I heard that your palace was burned down tonight. Isn't it all a good show that you directed and acted yourself! Just to take the opportunity to get close to the emperor!!!"

Xie Qian stepped forward step by step, and every step was on Xie Qi's fate. Xie Qi's heart tightened, and he finally understood the true intention of the fire...
