When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, his heart fell to the bottom.
Queen Lu next to her was even more beautiful, but Huaiqing still retained a trace of calmness.
Reason told her that Liu Jing was by no means willing to succumb to others. Even if she didn't rebel today, she would probably rebel after the Yizhou rebellion was over.
Now, it’s just that the time is more compact.
In addition, Huaiqing's eyes lit up, he stood up and asked, "Didn't Liu Jing go to Yizhou with the emperor's brother to put down the rebellion?"
"How can we rebel?"
"Or, he didn't go to Yizhou at all, or there was someone else who put down the rebellion in Yizhou."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing felt even colder in his heart.
If it is true as Huaiqing said, Liu Jing's rebellion was probably a long-planned one, rather than a whim or impromptu move.
"I'm afraid this son has long been disobedient!"
When he said these words, Emperor Jing Xing was disappointed and a little heartbroken.
He knew that Liu Jingnai was born to a palace maid. He suffered humiliation when he was young and had resentment in his heart.
He also admitted that he was indeed a little biased.
After all, Liu Yu was born to Empress Lu, and Empress Lu and he supported each other and walked together to this day. After all, they had a deep and deep love for each other, far more than the other concubines.
However, after Liu Jing left the palace, he felt that he had made up for it a lot.
You know, the other vassal kings will all be sent out to guard the borders.
Only Liu Jing was left by his side despite all opinions, just to compensate him.
What a mighty royal grace this is.
Even when Liu Yu was at his most ineffective, he even really thought about changing the crown prince to a crown prince!
If Li Changkong hadn't suddenly emerged and brought the crown prince into the limelight, the ownership of the throne would have been unknown.
Later, Li Changkong returned from the Northern Xinjiang victory and was awarded the title of General Anbei of the fifth rank at a young age. He knew that Liu Yu's position as crown prince was secure!
The entire noble family is taking advantage of Li Changkong's influence to move closer to Liu Yu. If he passes the throne to Liu Jing, there will be a power struggle.
At that time, the masters of the northern grasslands had already gained momentum and were eyeing Daqian.
At such a critical moment, if another civil and military factional dispute broke out in the Daqian court, it would really be a recipe for death.
So in that situation, he had no choice at all!
Therefore, in the subsequent battles between Liu Yu and Liu Jing, he was somewhat obviously biased towards Liu Yu.
But there is also a lot of cover for Liu Jing.
The most obvious ones are the counterfeit currency case and the witchcraft disaster. How did these two things happen? Who is the mastermind behind it? Do you really think that the emperor is blind?
But even so, he still did not choose to punish Liu Jing. Instead, Liu Yu suffered some crimes in prison because of the witchcraft.
Because of this matter, Empress Lu made a lot of trouble with him at that time.
Why did he do this?
Isn't it just to make this matter a smoother transition, to tactfully express one's intention to Liu Jing, and to ask him to voluntarily give up the fight for the heir?
Who would have thought that he would eventually take the most treacherous path?
Emperor Jingxing sighed quietly and said: "Gather all civil and military officials together and enter the Zhengde Hall to narrate the story."
As the emperor of Daqian, he has millions of people in Daqian on his shoulders.
But there is really no time to mourn the spring and autumn here.
And now the entire Qiandu City can only hold 30,000 imperial guards, so how to survive is the top priority!
Just as Emperor Jing Xing was about to leave, Princess Huaiqing suddenly stood up and said, "Father, I would like to attend this court meeting."
After hearing this, Emperor Jing Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, the group of people left quickly, leaving only Queen Lu looking at the backs of everyone, her eyes full of worry.
This is a time of crisis for life and death!
A moment later, inside the Zhengde Hall.
Almost all the civil and military officials were present, and whether it was Zhang Xun, the noble leader, or Jia Shengsheng, the prime minister and assistant minister, they all frowned and said nothing.
Although the rest of the people didn't know the specific situation, looking at this posture, they knew that something big had happened, and for a while, they also became worried.
Huaiqing followed Emperor Jing Xing into the main hall and stood at the forefront of the civil and military officials. This was the place where Liu Yu and Liu Jing were usually qualified to stand.
Seeing this, although the civil and military officials were a bit commotion, no one stood up to stop it.
"Where is Zhang Han?" Emperor Jing Xing spoke from the dragon throne. His voice no longer had the majesty of the past, but instead contained a hint of deep exhaustion.
"I'm here!" Zhang Han stood up from behind the military attache's queue and replied.
"Tell me what you know about the situation, and also tell the officials."
"promise!"
Zhang Han immediately began to talk about the causes and consequences of the counterfeit currency case, and how they discovered that the original Chen Shi was not the real Chen Shi but a fake Chen Shi.
At the end of the story, he shook his body and said solemnly: "My lords, just a few days ago, we caught the real Chen Shi in Anshan Lane, Yonglefang."
"And he brings crucial news!"
"The counterfeit currency on the market today has not been completely eliminated. Prince Jing's Mansion is still producing counterfeit currency in large quantities, relying on the oil and coal ink left over from the last counterfeit currency case."
"And all the counterfeit coins produced were sent to the state capitals around Qiandu City!"
"I thought that such a large amount of silver would definitely be used to recruit troops."
"Logically speaking, King Jing should be participating in the counter-rebellion in Yizhou. Even if he wants to recruit troops and horses, he should transport the banknotes to Yizhou. How could he send them to the surrounding state capitals?"
"After much thought, I can only find one possibility."
Having said this, Zhang Han retreated.
Everyone present is not a fool. He said it for this reason, and the rest of the people can naturally guess it.
And there are some words that, given his current status, he is probably not qualified to say.
After Zhang Han finished speaking, the entire Zhengde Hall fell silent.
The civil and military officials looked at each other, but for a moment they didn't know what to do.
This is a royal matter after all.
"Let Chen Shi enter the palace first." Finally, Emperor Jing Xing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, sighed and said.
Soon after, Chen Shi, dressed as a scholar, entered the Zhengde Hall under the leadership of two eunuchs.
Looking at the civil and military officials in crimson official robes, and the majestic Emperor Jing Xing sitting on the dragon throne, he thought of his scapegoat again, and for a moment he couldn't help but sweat dripping with cold sweat, and his legs became weak. With a pop, he knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Caomin Chen Shi, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Get up, and explain everything you saw and heard in Prince Jing's Mansion."
Hearing this, Chen Shi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I am aiding the evildoers. If I tell everyone, will I still survive?
I felt a little uneasy for a while.
"Why, you don't want to say anything?" Emperor Jing Xing's majestic voice came from the dragon chair. For a moment, Chen Shi was in a dilemma, and the two sides were frightened.
