Chapter 593 Uncle and Nephew (V)
Han Pu presented the fold, and Li Heng walked slowly over, took it, and delivered it to Emperor Daliang.
The expressions on the faces of the ministers were complicated. Those who were not sure what happened that night were lamenting in their hearts, and those who knew what happened were even more puzzled at this moment.
They never thought that things would develop like this. In their opinion, it didn't matter what the truth was that night. As long as there was this incident, His Majesty the Emperor could follow the trend and kill Chen Chao to avoid future troubles. For this reason, they did not even reveal it. Chen Chao's identity is to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from having the bad reputation of killing his nephew again.
But why did Han Pu finally find out the truth and tell it?
Many courtiers stared at Han Pu, feeling extremely disgusted with this Dali Temple minister.
The dean also looked at the Dali Temple Minister, with some strange emotions in his eyes, and he didn't know why.
"For unknown reasons, Huainan Marquis Song Ting conspired to assassinate Deputy Commander Chen. To this end, he did not hesitate to mobilize many monks just to kill Deputy Commander Chen that night. Fortunately, Deputy Commander Chen had a high level of martial arts and fought his way out of the encirclement. After thinking about it, I also learned that the matter was done by Huainan Hou, so I wanted to seek justice, but Huainan Hou was crazy and refused to give up, and finally died under the knife of Deputy Commander Chen. "
"I have investigated for a long time and found the truth. The evidence is conclusive."
Han Pu's words, in fact, after the siege, people don't need to believe what the truth is, they just need to know that the assassination was done by Song Ting, the Marquis of Huainan, and that Chen Chao would kill again after that. It is reasonable and reasonable, even if it is a bit excessive. What will be the problem. .🅆.
"How is it possible? The Marquis of Huainan has lived in seclusion for many years. He has never even met Chen Chao. He is a stranger. How could he have murderous intentions towards him?!"
Some officials were extremely angry and did not want to see the situation develop like this, so they couldn't help but speak for a while.
Han Pu frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, if you say that, then Deputy Commander Chen has never met the Marquis of Huainan, so why do you have to kill him?"
"this……"
Mr. Wang looked ugly and was speechless.
According to his logic, the Marquis of Huainan and Chen Chao had never known each other, so why did Chen Chao want to kill him, and why did Chen Chao want to kill the Marquis of Huainan?
"Han Pu, you said the evidence is conclusive, where is the evidence?
? Where? Could it be that you accepted Chen Chao’s benefits and chose to help him clear away his guilt? ! "
Some officials were determined to prove Chen Chao's charges, but by this time they had already lost their cool.
"If Mr. Han says whether there is any evidence, I don't know, but I can serve as a witness."
Suddenly, there was a voice in the banquet, and the loyal and brave Marquis Zhang Yu, who had been silent all this time, stood up. The Marquis said softly, "I am guilty. I was also involved in the plot to assassinate Deputy Commander Chen that night."
Zhang Yu knelt on the ground and said calmly, "I was in charge of the patrol camp. I was instructed by Song Ting that night to block Deputy Commander Chen's way of seeking help for him. I am ashamed of your majesty and of Deputy Commander Chen."
Everyone was silent when they heard Zhang Yu speak. As the biggest contributor to the uprising that year, Zhang Yu was not only one of His Majesty's closest ministers, but also the most prestigious among those people. He came out to testify about this incident. The matter is almost settled.
"Your Majesty, I am suing Ye Dayuan, the deputy commander of the right guard. Ye Dayuan, the deputy commander of the right guard, colluded with the Marquis of Huainan that night to drive away the left guard on the pretext that a monster appeared in the capital, leaving deputy commander Chen isolated and helpless. I have evidence of the collusion between Ye Dayuan and the Marquis of Huainan. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Just when everyone was silent, Yao Dao suddenly stood up and directly exposed his immediate boss Ye Dayuan.
Ye Dayuan's face suddenly turned pale. If he had been lucky before and thought that he could not be found, now that Yao Dao opened his mouth, he was completely pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Ye Dayuan hurriedly knelt down on the ground with a miserable expression, "Your Majesty, I am being coerced by the Marquis of Huainan!"
Hearing what Ye Dayuan said, almost everyone understood that it was almost impossible to use this incident to attack Chen Chao.
Ye Dayuan now puts the blame on the Marquis of Huainan, which is just a last ditch effort.
Li Heng took the letter from Yao Dao and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Liang took a look twice and said,
He didn't show any anger, he just smiled and said, "You are such a good minister of mine."
The courtiers said nothing.
Tai Shiling's face looked a little ugly.
At this moment, the Taishi Lingcai realized belatedly that he had jumped into a trap targeting the Chen Dynasty, which made him somewhat regretful, but he was not worried about anything.
There was no collusion between himself and those people.
Many people were disappointed, and many people realized later that the emperor had never wanted to kill Chen Chao. .🅆.
The second prince's face changed slightly, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up so that no one could see it.
"In this case, the descendants of the Song family who are deprived of the title of Song Ting will not be allowed to enter the officialdom for ten years. Zhongyong Hou Zhang Yu deprived him of his title, deprived him of his official position, and imprisoned him in the palace for one year. Ye Dayuan deprived him of his official position and was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. The rest of the people involved in the case , Han Pu, the Minister of Dali Temple, will judge the case in accordance with Daliang Law, and there is no need to ask me for instructions."
Emperor Liang made a decision on the matter in a few words.
"Transferred Song Lian to be the commander of the right guard, and Chen Chao took over as the commander of the left guard."
The emperor's next decree shocked everyone.
This made the courtiers who had come out to speak earlier feel very embarrassed. They had tried so hard to prevent Chen Chao from turning over, but now they all became a joke.
What made them feel even more terrified was that they had guessed the emperor's mind wrong from the beginning.
The second prince's eyes were stern.
The scene was silent.
No one expected that Chen Chao would not only escape unscathed, but even take another step forward at this moment.
After becoming the commander of the left guard, there was only the empty chair in front of Chen Chao.
The position of the garrison commander of the Daliang Dynasty seemed to be in the bag of the young military officer in front of him. It was only a matter of time before he sat on it.
The third prince showed some joy on his face.
The eldest prince's expression became a little complicated.
Song Lian, who was finally able to speak, came out and thanked Chen Chao together.
Emperor
Your Majesty's arrangement is ingenious. Song Lian's prestige in the lineage of the garrison commander is enough for him to suppress the Right Guard Office, and the Left Guard Office has Chen Chao. With the relationship between the two, Chen Chao will have fewer obstacles in doing anything in the future in the capital.
"Since everything has been investigated, please take your seats, my dear ministers."
The Daliang Emperor waved his hand, and it seemed that he had no intention of continuing to deal with the other court officials.
The officials stood up and sat down again.
The bigwigs who remained silent never spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial."
After the officials sat down, another voice sounded at the table.
Hearing this voice, the officials were startled and looked at a certain place in the table. They found that the person who spoke was an official from the Tianyu Court.
Many bigwigs who had not spoken all the time turned their heads and looked over there. They knew that the real storm had finally come at this moment.
Compared with the storm that followed, what happened before was really not worth mentioning.
It can be said that many people have been waiting for this moment since they knew that this banquet had begun.
This storm started when Chen Chao returned to Beijing, and rumors were everywhere in the capital. This was the prelude to this storm, which had been accumulating until now, and finally kicked off.
An official from the Tianyu Court came out, knelt on the ground, and said calmly, "I, Liu Tong, have investigated Chen Chao, the commander of the Left Guard, for plotting against the country!"
Hearing this, the Emperor of Daliang had no expression on his face.
There was an uproar at the table.
Compared with murder, the crime of plotting against the country is much greater.
If the murder was true, His Majesty could ignore it, but if the crime of plotting against the country was confirmed, then no one could save Chen Chao.
Because plotting against the country is often the same as the other four words.
Conspiring to usurp the throne.
Throughout the dynasties, how many emperors could ignore this matter?
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Chen Chao is the younger brother of the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty, and he is of royal blood. He entered the court as an official to subvert the world!"
These words were even more shocking!
