Chapter 447: The South China Sea is sealed, and the prince is used for surgery

The accusation that Chongguo Duke Zhao Chen's criticism of the new law did not end because of his retreat to the court.

Not only did it not, it fermented within these few days.

A group of ministers, led by the Censor He Ye, requested the emperor to investigate the matter in a case.

On this day, the ministers stood outside the emperor's imperial study room and demanded to see the emperor.

The ministers led by the Grand Priest Xu Churen cursed the treacherous ministers who were also traitors who harmed the country and the people.

The crown prince of the country is related to the safety of the country. As the chief censor, he not only lost his duties, but even slandered the crown prince's candidate at a critical moment. His intention is to be punished!

Shao Chengzhang came in from outside and said, "The officials, Censor He, Liu Yusi, Duan Xianggong, and the Censorate, the Inspectorate and the Supervisory Office were asking for a visit outside."

"Let He Ye, Liu Yanzong, and Duan Zhijie come in!"

Shao Chengzhang went out and said, "Civilian He, Liu Yusi, and Gong Duan, Your Majesty let you in."

Several people looked at each other and entered the emperor's imperial study: "I'm going to see Your Majesty."

"Everyone is free of gifts."

"Your Majesty, I am brave enough to criticize the new law, which will cause trouble to the hearts of the people. Please punish the Duke Chongguo severely!"

He also submitted a letter of offering and said, "Your Majesty, this is the report of Li Xingzhi, the book boy of Duke Chong."

Shao Chengzhang took the confession and presented it to the emperor.

Zhao Huan opened it and said lightly: "In the eyes of the three beloved ministers, how should I punish Duke Chong?"

Liu Yanzong plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Duke of Chong Kingdom should be abolished and demoted to a commoner!"

Duan Zhijie said: "Your Majesty, the new law is related to the foundation of the country. Anyone who criticizes the new law should investigate it strictly!"

He Ye said: "Your Majesty, the prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

Zhao Huan kneaded the offering books into a ball and smashed them on He Ye's face.

The three judicial ministers were shocked.

The emperor said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Check it out again for me!"

"His Majesty……"

"I want you to check again!"

"yes!"

Duan Zhijie, He Ye and Liu Yanzong, one by one, understood the emperor's wishes.

The emperor was naturally angry and wanted to save Duke Chong.

But the emperor said that he would definitely not let this matter go easily.

Therefore, all three of them understood it.

The investigation must be carried out, but this matter must be left behind.

In this way, the three of them seemed to have figured out a signal: Regarding the candidate for the crown prince, Duke Chongguo was not completely eliminated!

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will investigate again immediately!"

The three of them walked out in a panic, and the ministers outside had already heard the emperor's angry voice from inside.

The three of them signaled everyone to leave immediately.

From the perspective of Heye, Duan Zhijie and Liu Yanzong, Duke Chongguo Zhao Chen must not be appointed as the crown prince.

It’s not that the three of them have conflicts with Zhao Chen.

But these three people are all ministers in the judicial system and their styles are cruel.

But based on his personality, if he ascended the throne, he would never be able to appoint such cruel officials as them.

Instead of doing so, why not drive Duke Chong out this morning to prevent future troubles.

But Duke Chong was the emperor's son after all. The three of them underestimated the emperor's feelings for this son, thinking that criticizing the new law would allow the emperor to make impulsive decisions.

The reason they think so is that the new law is very important to the emperor, and for the sake of the new law, the emperor is irrational.

But now it seems that the emperor is becoming more and more rational and deeper.

After leaving the palace, in the afternoon, the inspectors arrived at the Li Mansion and immediately took Zhao Chen's book boy Li Xing to the inspector later.

The military police of the Inspectorate looked ferocious: "Do you only know why we are trying to catch you?"

Li Xing was both nervous and scared, so he shook his head quickly.

"Slandering Duke Chongguo criticized the new law and provoked conflicts among the Tian family. However, the serious crimes will be beheaded at the least, and the worst will be executed!"

When Li Xing heard this, he was so scared that he was speechless.

He looked at Liu Yanzong who was sitting aside drinking tea and said in horror: "Liu Yusi, I didn't lie, I didn't lie!"

The military police slapped Li Xing several times, slapped him into bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

Liu Yanzong said: "I'll ask you and answer."

“Yes, yes!”

"Who is the closest contact with during Chongguo Fair Day?"

"When you come back to Liu Yusi, Chongguo has close contact with Hanlin Bachelor Shi Xianggong on the day of justice."

Shi Xun? That man is a firm supporter of the new law. If you want to cause trouble for him, you will definitely not be able to move.

"What else?"

"Duke Chong often goes to the queen's place."

"What else?"

"And... and Prince Yun would come to Duke Chong from time to time!"

Liu Yanzong raised his eyebrows: "Prince Yun?"

As if he remembered something, Li Xing hurriedly said, "Liu Yusi, I remembered it. A month ago, when Duke Chong and I were reading Duke Shi Xianggong's "New Analects of Confucius", Prince Yun came to Duke Chongguo. The two talked about "New Analects of Confucius". Prince Yun said that "New Analects of Confucius" is a fallacy. Now the Song Dynasty is corrupt and the political situation of the court is in turmoil. Duke Chongguo should go to the southwest, stay away from the storm, and seek positions in the army to prepare for the future!"

Liu Yanzong's ears stood up on the spot.

Prince Yun?

Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai!

I was thinking of killing you and going to the emperor to seek credit.

Do you know that the emperor has long wanted to get rid of you?

You didn't know how to restrain yourself, and you even ran to Duke Chong to commit suicide.

You rely on the support of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, you dare to do something random, right!

The military police of the Inspectorate quickly took out their pens and ink and recorded all the words of Li Xing.

Liu Yanzong sneered in his heart: Duke Chongguo can't move for the time being, so let's kill Prince Yun first!

So, for the second morning court, the Censorate immediately impeached Prince Yun.

The book of offering was presented to the emperor.

The voice of the Censor He Ye was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, Prince Yun criticized the new law, and his words confused the public and bewitched people's hearts. I ask Your Majesty to punish Prince Yun severely!"

Liu Yanzong immediately came up and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yun is hiding evil intentions and provokes the relationship between Your Majesty and Duke Chongguo, and intends to disrupt the government. We should investigate it strictly!"

When other ministers saw that they were impeaching the prince, they naturally had nothing to do with them.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has killed two princes.

The relationship between ministers and princes in the court can be as far as possible.

Now if anyone comes out to talk to the prince, isn’t this asking for death?

Zhao Huan was overjoyed.

He was thinking about pulling all the princes out and exorcizing them, but he was worried that those princes would have too serious resistance and some would not be able to hang themselves to commit suicide. By then, the emperor would not be able to bear the evil people who forced the innocent prince to death.

But now it's different.

When taking the Prince Yun sacrifices his sword, the other princes will naturally be in danger. They only think that this Tokyo city is a land of swords and seas of fire.

If you do the sealing matter, the resistance will obviously be much smaller.

The emperor said calmly: "Liu Yusi!"

"I'm here!"

"A thorough investigation of this case."

"I obey the order!"

All the ministers were shocked. It seemed that another prince in the Song Dynasty was about to die.
Chapter completed!
