Chapter 523 He Is Mean, and I Am Itching to Do It
Ning Chen glanced at the censor who scolded him, "Who do you think you are? You are worthy of calling me by my name?"
"Ning Chen, your scandal has been exposed, why don't you admit your guilt?"
The censor said loudly.
Ning Chen sneered, "What scandal did I do?"
"As the king of Daxuan Town, you had an affair with the empress of Wu State and gave birth to a son... You are the spy of Wu State lurking in Daxuan, colluding with the enemy and treason, your crime is unforgivable."
Ning Chen said indifferently: "Where is the evidence?"
The censor pointed at the woman, "She is the witness."
"She is the wet nurse of the prince of Wu State, and she has seen you several times in the palace of Prince Qing of Wu State."
Ning Chen snorted coldly, "You just find a woman and dare to frame me... Your means of framing are a bit stupid?"
"Sir, her identity has been found out, and she is indeed the wet nurse of the prince of Wu State."
The prince spoke.
Ning Chen turned his head and looked at him, "What can that prove?" The prince said, "She saw you and the Empress of Wu go to the Qing Palace late at night to visit the Prince of Wu... and you and the Empress of Wu stayed at the Qing Palace." Ning Chen said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, how could the nurse of the Prince of Wu appear in the Golden Palace of the Great Xuan Palace?" "Is the word of a woman from Wu worthy of trust?" The prince sighed and said, "I don't want to believe that you are collaborating with the enemy and treason, but the evidence is in front of me, and I can't help but believe it." Ning Chen sneered, "Evidence, just based on this woman?" The prince said in a deep voice, "After you returned from your diplomatic mission to Wu, the soldiers of Wu were equipped with a bow called a composite bow, which is exactly the kind used by Ning'an Army." "You can say that you stole the technology of Wu... But you went to Wu. How to explain the glass, toothpaste, and fine salt brought back from the country? "
"Everyone knows that you are good at creation. After you went to Wu, these things appeared in Wu. If you say it is a coincidence, it will be hard to convince people?"
"According to the investigation of the spies lurking in Wu, these things appeared suddenly, but they could not find out who invented them?"
"The most important point is that when you were demoted, the army of Wu pressed on to put pressure on Daxuan... After you returned to the court, the army of Wu retreated. How to explain this?"
Ning Chen showed disdain, "This king does not need to explain. If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. I have said so much, but it is all speculation."
The prince said in a deep voice: "Pan Yucheng, the gold-clothed supervisor, Feng Qizhen, the silver-clothed supervisor, and Chen Chong have all accompanied you on your mission to Wu... I think they should know something?"
Ning Chen's eyes sank.
But he did not explain. At this time, the more he protected Pan Yucheng and others, the more suspicious they would be, and the more dangerous they would be.
"Then the prince should really ask them."
"The 200,000 troops at the border have also followed me to the land of Wu. Your Highness might as well ask them as well."
The prince's eyes narrowed, "Sir, are you using the 200,000 troops at the border to put pressure on me?"
Ning Chen said indifferently: "The 200,000 troops at the border are your majesty's soldiers, the soldiers of Daxuan, not my private soldiers. How can you say you are putting pressure on me?"
A censor jumped out and said loudly: "Ning Chen, don't be so clever. You are a good debater. You have all the evidences, but you still don't plead guilty?"
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is guilty of treason and collusion with the enemy. He deserves death!"
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is the king of Daxuan Town, but he had an affair with the empress of the enemy country and gave birth to a son... Such a traitor should be executed by slow slicing!"
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is a spy lurking in Daxuan, trying to shake the foundation of the country. I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to behead Ning Chen in public to correct the law."
"I second the motion!"
"I also second the motion!"
All the censors and imperial officials jumped out.
At this time, Li Hanru stood up, "Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand... You all say that the prince is a traitor to the country... But after thinking about it, I can't think of anything that the prince has done that is not good for Daxuan." Ji Mingchen then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the prince invented muskets and cannons to strengthen the military strength of Daxuan... Is this also called treason?" Li Zhixing followed closely, "The prince fought north and south, intimidated various countries, and protected Daxuan from losing an inch of land... If this is called a traitor to the country, I think there should be more such traitors. Several. "
Right Prime Minister Zong Sibai coughed a few times, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have just returned to Beijing and am not very familiar with the prince... But I have heard of his deeds. "
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that your majesty was critically ill some time ago, and the prince rushed thousands of miles to retrieve the Immaculate Ice Lotus for your majesty to ensure that your majesty is worry-free... The prince I saw at that time was covered with wounds and blood. Such a traitor shocked me greatly. "
"Let me say something disrespectful. Except for the prince, no one in the whole court can do it, right?"
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly.
He believed that Ning Chen was greedy for money and lustful, but he didn't believe a word of Ning Chen's collusion with the enemy and treason.
"Your Majesty, merits are merits, and faults are faults... This woman is the wet nurse of the prince of Wu State. Her identity has been confirmed, and her words must be believed. "
A censor stood up and said. "Your Majesty, Ning Chen has not done anything that is not good for Daxuan, but he has a son with the Empress of Wu. Now Ning Chen has great power. If he has a different mind one day, who can stop him?"
"Your Majesty, don't raise a tiger to cause trouble!"
Li Zhixing said angrily: "Bullshit, you are telling the truth about something that didn't happen. Do you know how to predict or calculate?"
A censor suddenly rushed to Ning Chen and shouted: "Ning Chen, do you dare to curse and swear on the life of the prince of Wu? If you dare, I will believe you."
Ning Chen's face darkened.
Pa! ! !
A loud slap landed on the censor's face, whipping him several times in place and falling hard to the ground.
Bang! ! !
Ning Chen kicked him again and kicked him several meters away.
The whole court was stunned and shocked.
"Ning Chen, you are so presumptuous... In the court, you dare to beat the court official. You have no respect for the emperor and deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, Ning Chen ignored the emperor's face and disturbed the court. It is really disrespectful... Please issue an order to punish him severely!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't deal with Ning Chen, where is your majesty's majesty? Where is the law of the country?"
Emperor Xuan frowned and looked at the censor jumping up and down, feeling extremely annoyed.
The prince suddenly asked, "Why did you get so angry just now, disregarding the dignity of the court and beating the court official?"
Ning Chen said indifferently, "He is mean, and I am itching to do it... We just help each other."
"Is it related to the life of the prince of Wu?"
Ning Chen said word by word, "As a human being, why should you be so vicious and curse a baby in swaddling clothes?"
The prince said, "Although it is a baby, it is also the prince of the enemy country... Moreover, this is the best way to prove your innocence. You only need to say that the prince of Wu died young, and then..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Chen appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Ah...!"
The prince screamed heartbreakingly!
Because Ning Chen's foot stepped hard on his injured foot, he stared at him with cold eyes and said word by word, "The distance was too far just now, and I didn't hear clearly. What did His Royal Highness the Prince say just now?"
