Chapter 175 Jiang Kuo repeats his old tricks(1/2)

On the second day, above the main hall of the palace.

Jiang Kuo held the memorial in his hand and knelt down directly in front of the monarch in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I want to accuse His Highness of the Crown Prince of engaging in malpractice for personal gain and intending to commit rebellion!"

As soon as Jiang Kuo said these words, all the civil and military ministers in the room were shocked. The word "rebellion" was not something that could be said easily.

If he is found guilty of treason, there will probably be a river of blood in Kyoto.

"Rebellion? Jiang Aiqing, is there any evidence for the word "rebellion" in your mouth? If there is no evidence, your current slander against the royal family is a serious crime!"

His Majesty's eyebrows were a little more solemn. He looked at Jiang Kuo as if he were looking at a dead thing.

"Your Majesty, I know what I did today, and I also know the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince. As for the evidence, I have also found it."

Jiang Kuo is confident.

He firmly believed that the people under his command were fully prepared.

"Okay, I'll just listen to what the so-called evidence is from your mouth."

His Majesty's eyes were clouded and he spoke in a deep voice.

Jiang Kuo wanted to kill Prince Su Lixiao, so he didn't notice anything strange about His Majesty today.

He only thought that His Majesty heard that someone was plotting rebellion and the Emperor was furious, so he had a gloomy face and a sinister expression.

"Your Majesty, I strongly recommended His Highness Su Lixiao as the crown prince in the court that day. This matter was due to my negligence."

"I am your Majesty's only subject. In order to prevent His Highness from having any unwarranted affection for me, I once went to the Prince's Mansion to explain my position to His Majesty."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say much at that time, but I saw a very strange person in His Royal Highness."

When His Majesty heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

Su Lixiao, who was being accused on the side, stood in the court hall neither humble nor arrogant.

"Jiang Aiqing, who did you see in His Highness the Crown Prince's residence?"

His Majesty frowned and continued to ask.

"The remnants of the Western Frontier."

Jiang Kuo gently uttered the words "ke".

"It's ridiculous, Jiang Aiqing, regarding the remnants of Xijiang, Gu has already had people deal with them completely. Now, there is no longer a clan of remnants of Xijiang in Gu's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. How dare I say such lies?"

Jiang Kuo continued.

"Jiang Aiqing, why do you recognize the remnants of Western Xinjiang everywhere? Before Prime Minister Lin's incident, you were the first one to discover the remnants of Western Xinjiang in his mansion?"

Suddenly, His Majesty's voice changed and he asked Jiang Kuo.

Jiang Kuo felt very strange when he asked this question.

Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention the matter of Prime Minister Lin today? Isn’t that matter already concluded?

Jiang Kuo murmured in his heart.

However, there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

Now, he has actually accused Su Lixiao of treason in front of the civil and military officials of the court. If he can't tell the truth, he will die in a miserable way.

"Your Majesty, I am particularly worried about the matter with the remnants of Western Xinjiang, so I keep an eye on them."

Jiang Kuo explained bravely.

"Your Majesty, did you know? There is a coachman in the residence of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he looks like anyone else on the surface, he is a member of the royal guard of the remnants of Western Xinjiang."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was established as the crown prince because he wiped out the remnants of the Western Xinjiang. Now, there is a remnant of the Western Xinjiang hiding in his home. Your Majesty, this matter is very strange."

Jiang Kuo believed that the man in Prince Sulixiao's residence would be willing to sacrifice his life for him.

At first, he lied about saving the man's life, and the coachman had been thinking about how to repay him.

"Jiang Kuo, that man is just a coachman from the Prince's Mansion. How can you prove that he is the remnant of Western Xinjiang? How can you prove that he is the so-called Royal Guardsman you mentioned?"

When His Majesty saw Jiang Kuo moving out of the carriage, the evil look on his brow became more and more obvious.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as long as you find the coachman, I can prove in front of Your Majesty and all the civil servants and generals in the court that the coachman is the royal guard of Western Xinjiang!"

When Jiang Kuo said this sentence, he was particularly confident.

Because he had already given instructions to the coachman yesterday.

This bodyguard of the Western Xinjiang royal family is feared by everyone in Western Xinjiang. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have a higher status in the hearts of the royal family than ordinary civil servants and generals.

Therefore, in order to distinguish the members of the royal guards in Western Xinjiang, the royal family specially asked each of them to plant a kind of Gu insect in their bodies.

Of course, this kind of Gu is not harmful to the guards.

"It's just a coachman. Do you think you would find him and then beat him into submission so that he would admit that he is a guard of the Western Xinjiang royal family?"

His Majesty already had a hint of impatience on his face regarding Jiang Kuo's words and deeds.

"Your Majesty, I will never give in to the coachman. Your Majesty and all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty are here now. How can I dare to act like this?"

Jiang Kuo saw that His Majesty was increasingly invisible to him today, so he quickly and carefully replied.

"Your Majesty, the way to test whether the other party is a member of the Western Xinjiang royal family is very simple. Those royal guards have been planted with poisonous insects by the Western Xinjiang people. This kind of poisonous insects is on the chests of the guards. Just point to their chests.

If you tap it, the voodoo will appear."

"Okay, I'll just follow your wishes."

Although His Majesty was responding to Jiang Kuo, the person His Majesty was looking at was Prince Su Lixiao.

Su Lixiao was still above the court, standing steadily with a calm expression, unmoved.

It was as if Jiang Kuo was not the one suing Jiang Kuo for the crime of treason in this court today.

"Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Kuo knelt down to thank His Majesty.

Then he glanced at Su Lixiao in the court hall, and seeing that he was still fearless, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Su Lixiao was indeed as confident as ever.

Even though he is already behind bars, he can still be so calm and composed!

Regardless of their different positions, Jiang Kuo still admires Su Lixiao very much. He has always wanted his grandson Su Chen'an to have the same tenacity as Su Lixiao.

"Your Highness, I am offended!"

Jiang Kuo was very confident about his arrangement, so he pretended to apologize to Su Lixiao in the court hall.

However, Su Lixiao was not too surprised by Jiang Kuo's behavior.

"Master Jiang, I have a clear conscience, so anyone in my Prince's Palace can be summoned by my father!"

Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo aside and changed her words.

"But if what happened today is finally found to be not what Mr. Jiang said, how will Mr. Jiang prepare to give an explanation to this palace?"

The Prince's Mansion cannot be searched just because you want to.

Jiang Kuo wants to bring someone out from the Prince's Mansion for interrogation today, so he must give His Highness a satisfactory explanation.

"Your Highness, I am an old man in this court. If this matter is found to have nothing to do with Your Highness, I should apologize to His Majesty and apologize to His Majesty!"

When Su Lixiao heard this sentence, the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Apologize?"

He looked at Jiang Kuo with a playful expression on his eyebrows.

"Lord Jiang, you slandered this royal family member for treason, and in the end you just wanted to cancel it with just a light apology?"

The meaning of Su Lixiao's words was obvious. He was very dissatisfied with Jiang Kuo's words just now.

"...!"

Jiang Kuo did not expect that Su Lixiao would not care about the coachman in his house at this time, but would actually start to care about him, Jiang Kuo.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Jiang Kuo just wanted to kill Su Lixiao as soon as possible.

So, in order to confirm Su Lixiao's conspiracy as quickly as possible, he patiently asked for answers.

"I thought Lord Jiang Kuo you should commit suicide to apologize!"

"...!"

Jiang Kuo didn't expect that Prince Su Lixiao would force him to risk his life in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

Su Lixiao looked at the disbelief in Jiang Kuo's eyes and said with a smile.

"Master Jiang, who do you think you are suing? I am the Crown Prince who has been sealed by my father!"

"If you want to drag the crown prince of a country into trouble, then you must be willing to die. If you don't even dare to do this, why should I let you, a little minister, talk nonsense and slander?"
