Chapter 423 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
The young eunuch hurried forward to help, and the messenger tremblingly took out General Wang's handwritten letter from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said anxiously in a trembling voice,
“Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter from General Wang of the Northern Border.
The border is in danger. Recently, the Guyue army led the people to violate the alliance between the two countries and cross the border to launch a surprise attack.
They plundered the people's property and food, disrupted the stability of our Daliang border, and the people on the border suffered terribly.
They are numerous and powerful. General Wang led his soldiers to fight back day and night, but unfortunately our army ran out of food and grass, and finally was outnumbered and had to retreat to a corner. The general begged the emperor to send troops to reinforce them. "
When the messenger reached this point he burst into tears.
*
At this time, a minister cried out in surprise.
"That's not right, didn't the Guyue Kingdom sign a defeated nation treaty with Daliang?
I remember that it was the Crown Prince who came forward to resolve the situation and signed a document to prove that they could not invade for five years. You actually went back on your word and were dishonest. You are really a mean person! Damn it!"
Then I heard the messenger's words,
“Reporting to the Emperor, this massive invasion by Gu Yue Nation was not accidental, but a premeditated plan.
General Wang has already found out who the mastermind is, and it's all written in the letter. There are also intercepted letters."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kun realized that this was a serious matter and glanced at Eunuch De, who quickly presented the courier's letter to the emperor.
Everyone knew that there was a traitorous spy in the court, but they didn't know who it was. They held their breath and waited for Emperor Kun to finish reading the letter!
Emperor Kun's hand trembled, and General Wang's letter fell to the ground.
*
Eunuch De hurriedly bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, and then he heard the "huffing" sound from Emperor Kun's throat, followed by the sound of a heavy palm slapping on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty? Your hand?"
Eunuch De hurriedly went to check Emperor Kun's hand, and blood was already dripping onto the ground.
Eunuch De shouted hurriedly,
"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician?"
Emperor Kun seemed unaware that his palm was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"The traitor, the traitor!"
After saying this, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Emperor Kun's mouth. Emperor Kun was so angry that he closed his eyes and passed out before the imperial doctor even came to him.
"Father? Father?"
King Rui shouted and ran forward quickly.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
The ministers were so frightened that they cried out in unison, but they did not dare to run over.
*
Judge Zhou, Imperial Physician Wang, and Imperial Physician Qi hurried forward and gave Emperor Kun emergency treatment. After more than a dozen silver needles were inserted, Emperor Kun's complexion eased a lot.
At this time, Prince Rui, who had been observing the development of the situation, knew that it was his turn to take the stage. He whispered to Emperor Kun,
"Father, how are you feeling?"
Emperor Kun closed his eyes and did not answer.
"President Zhou, why hasn't our father woken up yet?"
Judge Zhou bowed and said,
"Prince Rui, don't be anxious. The emperor suddenly fainted due to anger. He will wake up after the acupuncture is completed."
"Thank you!"
Liang Hengrui nodded and thanked him.
"I am ashamed and do not deserve the word of thanks."
Judge Zhou bowed and said.
None of the ministers dared to speak.
At this time, everyone saw Eunuch De bending down and hurriedly picking up the letters scattered on the ground.
King Rui walked over and said,
"Eunuch De, show it to me."
"This? Prince Rui, why don't we wait until the emperor wakes up?"
"No need, my father is so angry that he is vomiting blood! How can I just stand by and watch?"
After saying this, he took it from Eunuch De forcefully without allowing him to object.
*
Liang Hengrui took a quick glance at a few letters and said in disbelief,
"how could this be?"
The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, stumbling back several steps. Pretending that he could not support his body,
"King Rui, what's wrong with you?"
Several ministers around him hurried forward to support him.
Then the letter in King Rui's hand fell to the ground again.
"The king is fine!"
King Rui said, his hand trembling as he pointed at the letter on the ground and muttered,
"No, not the prince. How could it be him?"
Every clear word reached everyone's ears.
A few ministers curiously bent down to pick up the letter. Everyone leaned over to look.
When they saw it, they were all furious. Some couldn't believe it, and some jumped up and cursed.
Suddenly the situation got out of control.
*
"Thief, traitor, thief!"
"What? The prince? Impossible. Absolutely impossible."
"Yes, the Crown Prince has a kind character. The Ancient Moon Nation must have framed His Royal Highness!"
Upon hearing this, objections from several factions arose again.
"How is that impossible? Isn't it clearly written that when the Erha Prince heard that the prince was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, he threatened to destroy the capital and rescue the prince?!
If they knew that the crown prince was imprisoned in the clan house again, who knows what crazy actions the enemy country would take? ! "
"That's right! You said it was a frame-up, why didn't you frame someone else? You all should use your brains! What has the prince done during this period of time? Which lord can come and identify the handwriting."
Several more people came forward and compared the letters carefully. One old official was so angry that his beard stood up.
“Yes, the handwriting on this letter is the prince’s.
I am familiar with the prince's notes. How is it possible? The outbreak of the epidemic in Jiangnan City was man-made?
The letter clearly states that this is a conspiracy written and directed by the prince himself to gain political achievements and establish prestige for himself! Alas! How could the prince be like this? You can only know a person’s face but not his heart! "
"Ah? People's hearts have changed. The prince's actions have disappointed me so much! I have always defended him in vain!"
*
After hearing what the few people said, the letter was passed among the ministers.
Some people beat their chests and shed tears.
"How could this be? The catastrophe in Jiangnan City caused countless casualties. It turned out that it was not a natural disaster but a carefully planned man-made disaster.
Oh my God! I can't believe that this was made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"
Someone stood up to refute.
"How could the prince not be able to do it? The prince is no longer the innocent prince we once knew!
He has been completely bewitched by Concubine Fang in Yi Qiu Courtyard.
You have forgotten his request at the celebration banquet to have his two children listed in the royal imperial edict.
He cleared Concubine Fang's reputation as a prostitute and appointed a good-for-nothing woman as a concubine.
If all these things had not been supported by great merit and political achievements, how could the royal family have recognized this woman and her children?"
"Yes! Sir Li, it makes sense now that you explain it!"
"How can such an evil person be worthy of being the crown prince? I beg the emperor to see clearly and depose the crown prince. He must be deposed."
Someone took the opportunity to shout.
The ministers were excited, and for a moment the atmosphere in the hall turned into a crusade.
Such recklessness was due to the fact that Emperor Kun was unconscious and unaware.
*
Emperor Kun also slowly woke up at this time. He seemed to have had a dream in his coma, a trap set up specifically for the prince.
The prince was like a trapped animal in the net. He ran into obstacles everywhere and his head was bruised and bloodied, but he could not get out of the net.
