Chapter 460 To show innocence
Chapter 460 To show innocence
The guards deliberately slowed down and were all waiting, waiting to see if things turned around.

Who dares to really disrespect Lord Xuan?If King Xuan was executed with a cane in public today, if he pursued him in the future, ten lives would not be enough for them to pay.

The two approached slowly, but Chu Xuanchi was still calm and calm, ignoring the courtiers who were watching the play on both sides, and waved his hands, signaling Chu Jiangnan and Chu Dingbei who wanted to intercede for him to go back, and then raised their heads to face each other. The king of Chu looked angry and said lightly.

"If my son remembers correctly, two years ago, when my son returned to the imperial court after pacifying the Ten Kingdoms, my father once said that my son can decide whether to go to court at will, and there is no need to kneel in front of the palace."

As soon as these words came out, King Chu's face suddenly became weird.

This is indeed what he said, but now he personally ordered someone to invite him to the court, and he made him kneel because he did something wrong and offended the holy face. So, what conflicts with what he said at the beginning?
However, regardless of whether there was a conflict or not, letting him kneel again seemed to be a bit dishonest.

While he was in a dilemma, Chu Sihai suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Father, please calm down, the fourth brother was injured in the hunting ground yesterday, it must be because the injury is not healed, that's why he didn't come in time, I hope the father will forgive me. "

When he said this, he spoke clearly for Prince Xuan at any time, but it also gave King Chu a chance to step down.

The King of Chu suppressed his anger, and finally waved his hands and said: "Since it is injured, then I will not pursue it. Come here and give me a seat."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li immediately brought two young eunuchs to carry the jade chair for Prince Xuan.

Seeing Prince Xuan, who was dressed in black clothes, sitting safely on a chair, looking at everything in the court calmly and calmly, everyone in the court hall couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Others say that Prince Xuan's achievements are so great that even the emperor doesn't pay attention to him. Also fearless?
Lord Hai speaks for Lord Xuan, but who is he actually helping? Who can't tell?

Even though the emperor was angry again, he didn't dare to treat Prince Xuan seriously, everyone could see this.

After Prince Xuan took his seat, Chu Sihai glanced at everyone in the hall, and suddenly said: "The Royal Arms Factory was attacked last night. Although there was no loss, those thieves were extremely bold, even daring to buy royal belongings." Coveted! Although this king failed to arrest the villain, he also hurt the villain. Now he orders everyone to go to the court, because he is afraid that the villain will pretend to be the minister of the court and want to get away with it. Therefore, today's special Please order my father to let the king personally inspect everyone's body and give everyone a chance to show their innocence, and please forgive me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately started discussing it. Although King Hai said that he was afraid of villains pretending to be courtiers, in fact, what he meant was that he was afraid that someone in the court would be the mastermind of this matter.

Dare to rob the weapons of the Royal Factory, this is the crime of Zhu Jiu Clan!
Although everyone seemed panicked, they were only worried that there would be another disturbance in the imperial city. As for who the villain was, they were just curious, and they were not afraid that the crime would fall on them.

Chu Dingbei had heard more or less about the troubles in the Royal Factory last night, but his father didn't let him deal with it, so he just ordered people to inquire about some news.

Hearing Brother Sanhuang's words now, he strode forward and was the first to respond: "In this case, everyone take off your clothes to show your innocence. This king will come first."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the neckline with his big palm and pulled it to both sides, and his coat and thin inner garment were taken off, revealing his strong body covered with large and small scars in front of everyone.

There are indeed a lot of scars, but they are basically old wounds. The latest wound seems to have been several months ago, and there is no new wound, so the thief last night is definitely not Prince Bei.

However, the scars on Prince Bei's body made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty feel a little unbearable and respectful when they looked at him. He came from such a noble family, and he was the emperor's own son, but he had to go to the battlefield to fight for the country in person.

In particular, there are two deep and long scars on this body, one from the shoulder to the chest, and the other from the chest to the abdomen. Judging from the shape of the scars, it is not difficult to imagine that the wounds he suffered at the beginning Multiple.

It was really not easy to survive such a serious injury.

Not only the officials couldn't bear to see it, but the princes also felt pity in their hearts.

Brother Seventh Emperor was an impulsive and quarrelsome boy in the past, but now he has really grown into a man and is a manly man.

Chu Dingbei didn't care about other people's eyes at all. After showing his body for everyone to see clearly, he gathered up his clothes, dressed neatly, and stepped back to the side.

Seeing this, the prince stepped forward and exposed his body in front of others. Next, the second prince also took off his clothes to prove his innocence to everyone.

All civil and military officials in the court hall immediately took off their clothes one after another. For a while, in the entire court hall, apart from Lord Hai and Prince Nan, only Prince Xuan who was sitting there hadn't made any move.

Lord Haiwang was the one who led the guards to guard the workshop last night, and he even personally injured the thief. Naturally, there was nothing suspicious about it, but Lord Nan and Prince Xuan were different.

Chu Xuanchi picked up the fragrant tea brought by the eunuch, and sipped it carefully, Rushui never looked at anyone, nor did he seem to notice that the eyes of others were almost focused on him.

As for Chu Jiangnan, his face was calm and indifferent as before, but he stood there quietly, neither speaking nor making any movement.

King Chu's eyes fell on Chu Jiangnan, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

He didn't doubt his five princes, but all the officials had already undressed to show their innocence. As a prince, he should naturally set an example.

However, Chu Jiangnan still didn't move, standing there quietly, forming a whole, as if he was completely out of touch with everything around him and only lived in his own world.

He didn't move, no one dared to criticize anything, even the king of Chu couldn't bear to speak up.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on his Fourth and Fifth Emperors, Chu Dingbei suddenly strode forward and said in a loud voice, "Fiveth Emperor's body is sick, and he was healed by the immortal doctor and Murong Qiqi just now. The body has not yet recovered, the thief must not be him."

In fact, the brothers of the royal family all know that it is absolutely difficult to let Prince Nan take off his clothes in public. If you are in a hurry, you may just wave your sleeves and disappear without a trace. Why do you want to catch a thief or not? of.

If he asks himself clearly, he knows himself, and there is no need to explain to others.

Being able to go to court early today was actually beyond the expectations of King Chu and other princes. It has to be said that since Murong Qiqi appeared by his side, Prince Nan has really changed a lot.

After finishing speaking, Chu Dingbei changed his words, and said again: "At the hunting meeting yesterday, the fourth brother was injured. I saw it with my own eyes. Now I have only treated the wound on my body. How can I disclose it to everyone?"

But it was good if he didn't say that, once he said that, not only did he not exonerate Prince Xuan, but he seemed to be covering up something for him.

Although everyone knew about the injury on the hunting ground, it was such a coincidence that it inevitably made people suspicious.

For so many years, Prince Xuan has always been the champion of Autumn Hunting. Not only did he not win the championship this year, he was injured instead...

But King Hai injured the thief after Lord Xuan was injured. Thinking about it this way, Prince Xuan seemed to have no suspicions.

However, if there is really no suspicion, why didn't Prince Xuan take off his clothes and let everyone see what happened?As long as the injury is not in the place where King Haiwang was injured, there will be no problem, right?
Facing the doubts of the crowd, Chu Xuanchi still savored the tea leisurely, completely ignoring these doubts.

The King of Chu still had some doubts about himself as the fourth emperor, and now he couldn't help but said softly: "Si Huanger, since everyone has taken off their clothes, it's better for the fourth emperor..."

"Is the father suspicious of my son?" Chu Xuanchi put down the cup, looked up at him, there was a faint light shining under a pair of star pupils, but the light was too deep, as if hiding many secrets, but it was completely incomprehensible. Snoop one or two.

"My son has lived and died for the state of Chu for so many years. Father, will you repay my son with such a heart?"

Hearing this, the King of Chu was startled, and was immediately silenced.

Now that things are actually not just a matter of doubt or non-doubt, since everyone has taken off their clothes, why is Prince Xuan unwilling? Is there really some secret hidden in this?
Even Chu Dingbei couldn't see it, not because he doubted his fourth brother, but because he couldn't bear to see his old father being humiliated by the fourth brother in the court.

Brother Sihuang has always had such a temper, he never cared much about others, but his way of doing things will always hurt others.

He took half a step forward and looked at Chu Xuanchi, and said softly: "Brother Sihuang, since everyone has taken off their clothes, why don't you take off your clothes too, and let everyone see your injuries. In this way, you can convince everyone." gone."

"Brother Qihuang means that this king can't convince the public if he doesn't take off his clothes, right?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Dingbei.

Chu Dingbei suddenly panicked: "Brother Sihuang, I didn't mean that, it's just...just..."

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he was so shocked that he couldn't continue. The person he feared the most since he was a child was the Fourth Emperor. When it came to doubting him, he would never doubt that he would do things that would harm the country.

It's just that everyone took off their clothes, and he wasn't as shy as Brother Wuhuang, why didn't he take off his clothes?

Chu Xuanchi's eyes swept over the crowd, and finally fell on Chu Sihai's face. He said lightly: "Brother Sanhuang said that he hurt the thief, and this king is also injured. Since everyone insists on forcing this king to push his clothes Take it off, and the king will take it off for you to see."

He stood up, faced everyone, and finally reached out to untie his belt.

Forcing him to take off his clothes is a big crime, no one dares to look him directly, but they are all resentful in their hearts.

It's not what they wanted to force, it was their royal family who asked everyone to use this method to show their innocence, how did they end up forcing Prince Xuan to take off his clothes?Even if they had the courage to do so, they would not dare to do so!
