The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 675 Different opinions
Yan Beiqin was indeed deceiving the emperor. The 10 taels of silver was indeed missing. It was found in the back wall of the warehouse and had already been counted. It happened to be 10 taels of silver.

The ministers whispered to each other, and the emperor was caught in a dilemma. He understood why the crown prince would deceive the emperor, but with so many civil and military officials present, if he did not take the blame for this matter, then what was his might? The crown prince was his own son after all. This time he made a contribution and found 10 taels of silver for disaster relief. Is he going to be punished for a small lie?

Liu Weixiang is putting all his eggs in one basket. King De is his last resort. If he pulls the crown prince off the horse before he is convicted, King De will definitely not treat him badly. At least his life is safe. Even though the hope is slim, he still refuses to let go. If he is really questioned, he knows exactly what will be waiting for him.

Yan Beiqin guessed that there would be such a situation, but he also knew that his father would not easily depose the crown prince. Liu Weixiang took himself too seriously, since the moment his father knew that he was partial to King De, What he said is not so important, and it is even less likely to play a decisive role.

The emperor did not depose the prince, but he needed a reason, a step, and before that, he didn't know what to do.

Yun Changqing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is involved in a serious case, and he is guilty of a crime. I shouldn't have said much, but I have to say a few words for the crown prince. Please give me your permission."

The emperor nodded in a deep voice: "Ping Qinghou has something to say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking you, Yun Changqing said, "My lord Liu said that the prince is deceiving the emperor, but I don't agree with you. As we all know, the emperor handed over the case of the disappearance of 10 taels of silver to the prince. There are many colleagues present. They all tried the case. During the investigation, it is normal to tell a few lies to the prisoner and let the prisoner confess. It's just a humble minister."

Wang Huilun, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, stepped forward: "Reporting to the emperor, the subject can testify. During the trial of the case, such a method will indeed be used. Firstly, it can confuse the criminal's thinking, and secondly, it can also obtain some useful testimony. "

The emperor nodded slightly, and took advantage of the situation and said: "In this way, it is understandable for the prince to deceive the emperor."

There were those who helped Yan Beiqin, and naturally there were also those who were hindered. Zheng Yunsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I thought otherwise. It is one thing to try a case, but now it is in front of the emperor, and the natural etiquette It's different, the prince's deception is a matter before his eyes, and he should be punished heavily."

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials opened his mouth, all the ministers came forward to remonstrate: "The humble minister thinks that he should be punished severely, and the humble minister thinks that the situation is justifiable..." Everyone has their own arguments, and they can't argue.

Yan Beirong tilted his head to look at Yan Beiqin, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes seemed to say: In order to get rid of Liu Weixiang, it's really hard for you.

Like him, Yan Beirong also wanted to get rid of Liu Weixiang, but their goals were different. Yan Beirong just wanted to get rid of a person who knew too much, while Yan Beiqin wanted to get rid of a corrupt official. official.

Now that Yan Beiqin is on the cusp of the storm, Yan Beirong is not even a leaf, he can indeed show off in front of him.

The previous dynasty was in a state of turmoil over the prince's deception, and the harem also received the news. When the queen heard about it, she trembled with anger, and said angrily, "Is it all reversed? That's the prince, but they said waste It's useless!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Lian Xin patted her on the back to comfort her: "The emperor has a solid foundation in his heart, and he will not really depose the prince. Liu Weixiang jumped the wall in a hurry, and the emperor will not listen to his words."

"The emperor doesn't care about Liu Weixiang's words, but he doesn't necessarily care about others. Especially in this situation, the civil and military officials are divided into two forces. One group said that they should be severely punished, and the other group said that they should not be severely punished. Your Majesty It’s really hard to say how we will choose in the end.”

Lian Xin paused in her hands, opened her eyes wide and said, "Your Majesty, is it true that the Emperor will depose the Crown Prince because of this matter?"

The queen sneered and asked, "What does the emperor care about most?"

"The might of an emperor."

"The prince deceived the emperor, did he not take the emperor's majesty into his eyes?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness obviously didn't mean that."

"This palace knows this, and the emperor knows this too, but now the courtiers want to keep the emperor from knowing. Under the dilemma, the emperor may depose the prince in order to preserve his imperial prestige."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lian Xin also became anxious after hearing what the queen said. Is it a trivial matter to depose the crown prince?If it is really instigated by the officials, it will be even more difficult to help His Highness the Crown Prince to that seat again.

The queen frowned, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid the happiest person right now is Concubine Qiu. She is looking forward to day and night, hoping that the crown prince will be abolished so that his son can sit in that position. Now the opportunity is in front of her. Definitely proud."

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about these things, Your Majesty should think of a way quickly."

"What can I think of? It's the early court time. Although I am the queen, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if the emperor really abolishes the crown prince, it has nothing to do with this harem woman. Where did she come from?" qualifications."

"Then what should we do?"

The Empress fell into deep thought, and really couldn't think of a way out, she sighed and ordered: "Lian Xin, you go to the East Palace immediately, tell the Crown Princess about this, and listen to what the Crown Princess has to say."

Lian Xin understood, she quickly agreed and ran out. Of course, she is not stupid. Going to the East Palace at this time is bound to cause people to gossip, so she brought some things to strengthen her body, and swaggered to the East Palace, as if she was going to reward the Crown Princess look like.

Yun Lanyue was still sleeping, and Lian Xin came when she was sleeping soundly, so it's not a good temper to be woken up.

"What's going on? The prince is back?"

Qiao Cui looked anxious, and said: "Madam, the crown prince is still in the hall, it's Aunt Lianxin who has come, I have something important to report to Madam, Madam should get up quickly."

It is definitely not a trivial matter for Lian Xin to come here in person, Yun Lanyue woke up, got up quickly, and came to the side hall.

Lian Xin had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When she saw Yun Lanyue, she saluted first, and then said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this servant is following the Queen's Majesty's order, and is here to ask Madam what to do now."

Yun Lanyue didn't understand, so: "Aunt Lianxin, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know?" As she spoke, Lian Xin looked at Qiao Cui who was beside Yun Lanyue.

Yun Lanyue subconsciously protected Qiao Cui behind her, smiled and said, "Aunt Lianxin, what happened?"

"In the main hall, there is a discussion about the prince's deception and deposing of the prince. The empress really didn't hear about it?"

Hearing this, Yun Lanyue's eyes widened with a dazed expression.
