Chapter 1108: panic
When the medicine was halfway through, the Imperial Army came back.
also brought evidence that Gongqiu and the second prince colluded to plot a rebellion.
Just such a proof, enough for the emperor to have an excuse to kill him.
The imperial study was very quiet, the sky was already dark, Xi Ping lit the candles, and the huge space was instantly bright as day.
The emperor was alone, looking at the evidence slowly, the more he watched, the tighter he squeezed, and finally he threw the thing out of his hand.
Xi Ping looked worriedly at the wheezing emperor, but did not dare to make a sound.
After a long time, the emperor asked him to pick it up, and then he looked at it again.
couldn't hold it in the middle, so he went to sleep on the couch for two hours. Restless sleep, at dawn, the emperor got up again.
After getting up this time, he asked Xi Ping to take a few things and prepare to face with a sullen face.
In fact, because of his health, he has not gone to court for many days.
As soon as the emperor appeared, many officials in the court were stunned.
However, what they didn't expect was that the turbulent winds and clouds in the court on this day were shocking. Regarding the fact that Gongqiu and the second prince were arrested for treason, the whole court and opposition were shocked.
Some people are well-informed and know that Gongqiu has been arrested, and they have something to do with Liu Guifei. They thought that Gongqiu and Concubine Liu had some hidden secrets, but they didn't expect to help the second prince to rebel?
Some people don't know, but seeing that Gongqiu hasn't appeared in front of people for two days, they guessed that something might have happened to him.
There are also some officials who are closely related to Gongqiu. At this time, their faces are pale, and their sense of existence is minimized.
But the emperor's actions this time were drastic, and the movements were very big.
He ordered the fifth prince to supervise the matter, and the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate will have a joint trial, and they will definitely investigate the case clearly.
Because the criminal evidence found by Gongqiu also involved officials who colluded with the three judicial divisions, and all the officials involved were taken into custody.
The emperor directly assigned the Minister of Punishment, Master Jing, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Censor of Youdu of the Inspectorate to be in charge, and others were not allowed to interfere and obstruct.
The third prince frowned slightly when he heard that the person in charge was the fifth prince. But it is not surprising that the battle between him and the second child is almost on the bright side, and the father and emperor will not rest assured that he will take over.
The fifth brother doesn't have a strong sense of existence, but he doesn't care, but secretly 'reminds' him a few words.
However, what the third prince did not know was that the fifth prince used this incident to not only convict the second prince of conspiracy, but also took the opportunity to eradicate several of the third prince's officials.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
The emperor was not in good health. After the matter was explained, he returned to the harem.
The imperial study was very quiet, and the emperor fell into a deep sleep with his eyes closed.
However, people outside the palace were panicking. The forbidden army was arresting people in the whole city.
Meng Yunzheng was regarded as an important witness and went to Dali Temple again to cooperate with the investigation.
Shu Yu has been at Jing's house, but Master Jing has not come back. He has been staying at Dali Temple for three or four days.
Fortunately, he knew that Shu Yu was waiting for news, so he asked his entourage to go home to get his clothes, and passed Meng Yunzheng's message by the way.
Shu Yu felt relieved knowing that he was safe.
However, this turmoil lasted for more than half a month before it subsided.
Meng Yunzheng also stayed in Dali Temple for half a month before being released.
