The evidence was clearly presented, but he still refused to admit it, and even made up such ridiculous remarks, saying that the Chen family had joined the camp and wanted to harm him!
After hearing this, Chen Qi was furious: "Why would my Chen family use the lives of a whole family to harm you?! Don't you think it's ridiculous? It's just that my Chen family wants to do something like a dragon, how can it be possible to lose a whole family of people?" When you come down, by then, our Chen family will be nothing but bones, so what’s the use!”
"It's just that you are narrow-minded and vicious. When you saw that my father was unwilling to do things for you, you turned around and killed the whole Chen family and replaced you with the governor you wanted to do things for you."
Chen Qi is not afraid of offending people now. He dares to say whatever he should or should not say!
In the court of Dong Zhao, the dignified prince actually took action to harm his family. If the court does not make the decision for him, no matter what the emperor or the prince, there is nothing to respect. At worst, he will leave Dong Zhao. The world is so big, he will Unbelief has no place for him.
But if the court doesn't make the decision for him and avenge the people of the Chen family who died in vain, don't blame him for being ruthless!
"Sir, please make the decision for the sake of the Chen family!"
Let’s not mention the issue of Qingzhou’s taxation last year. Although this matter is serious, it is not fatal. If the prince is willing to spit out what he has eaten, calm the matter and appease the people, it will not be a problem.
At most, he has made such a big mistake and can no longer be a prince. If he becomes a prince in the future, he can still live his life.
But as for the Chen family, people in the Chen family really died. Of the Chen family, only Chen Qi is alive. If the prince is not dealt with, the people will not be angry!
But Master Fu has no rules on how to deal with the prince.
Everything needs to be reported to Your Majesty before you make a decision.
The prince said: "Master Fu, you are a person who enforces the law impartially. Although it is said that these two letters point to Gu, there is no definite evidence that the case of the Chen family was carried out by Gu's people. Maybe someone knows about Gu and Chen." Because the family is involved, I sent people to destroy the Chen family and put the blame on Gu!"
Chen Qi twitched his lips: "Then the prince must prove his innocence. There are countless people who can frame the prince, but there are only a few. The prince should not randomly find someone to take the blame and fool others."
If there really is such a person, who could it be? !
In the whole of Dong Zhao, the only person who wanted the prince to be dead was none other than King Sui. Either the prince did it or King Sui did it. Chen Qi was happy to fight with the two brothers!
Chen Qilai seeks justice and wants to avenge his family, but if the royal family of Dong Zhao does not deal with justice and protects the criminals, then he will find an opportunity to take revenge himself. Even if he cannot kill the person, he will bite off Dong Zhao's body. Come with a piece of meat and let them know the pain.
Although the Chen family is not comparable to other official families, it is still a loyal and good family. However, they were killed and the monarch they were loyal to did not give them justice. Chen Qi was unwilling to accept it.
"If this is the case, dozens of members of my Chen family will not comply. When the time comes, I will bring a bucket of dog blood and pour it over the Tai Chi Palace!"
As soon as Chen Qi said this, everyone around him took a breath of air-conditioning. Where is the Tai Chi Hall? It was the place where the emperor met with his ministers every morning. Chen Qi said this because he intended to disrespect the emperor.
The prince was furious: "How dare you?!"
Chen Qidao: "Why don't you dare?! If you don't make the decision for our Chen family, we'll just wait and see!"
Master Fu had a headache: "Quiet, don't make any noise in the courtroom. That's it for today. I will leave the outcome of the case to His Majesty for decision."
Chen Qi laughed, his eyes a bit frightening: "I hope your majesty will deal with it impartially and not be partial."
Master Fu presented the results to the emperor.
"Of these two letters, one is a letter from the prince to Chen Fuyin, with the prince's private seal on it, and the other is a final letter written by Chen Fuyin to his son Chen Qi."
The emperor opened the envelope. Chen Fuyin had done a lot of practical things during his tenure in Qingzhou. The emperor had a good impression of him. When something happened to the Chen family, the emperor felt it was a pity that one of them was missing. A capable minister.
"The prince suspected that someone knew about his involvement with the Chen family, and killed the Chen family to put the blame on him."
Master Fu paused: "Your Majesty, how should we judge now?!"
Master Fu did not dare to pass judgment. After finding out the matter, he sent someone to send the prince back to the East Palace. Chen Qi was also arranged by him to be protected in Dali Temple.
The emperor's face was ugly, and he was very disappointed with the prince. Regardless of whether the incident involving the Chen family was the prince's fault or not, it was true that he reached into Qingzhou to collect money, increase taxes, and oppress the people.
Moreover, what happened to the Chen family was most likely his fault.
"Everyone in the Imperial City is aware of this matter. If the prince is not punished, it will be difficult for the people to complain."
"I've issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Chen family's case. I'll leave this matter to you to find out the truth and give justice to the Chen family. As for the prince...he, the prince, doesn't have to do anything."
Master Fu's heart stopped for a moment and he answered yes.
Not long after he left the palace, he heard news from the palace. The emperor deposed the prince and demoted him to Prince An. Because the Chen family's affairs were not clear, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in the East Palace and asked him to collect all the taxes levied by Qingzhou. Take it out and compensate the people of Qingzhou.
There are still doubts about the Chen family murder case, so the minister of Dali Temple is ordered to investigate thoroughly.
He also dismissed the current Sun Fuyin from Qingzhou and ordered the Minister of Civil Affairs to select a new Fuyin to take office in Qingzhou to appease the people.
While the people in the city were discussing this matter, Zhao Mingzhan, who had left the imperial city, returned with his people and went straight to the imperial city after a long journey.
"Prince Zhao is back?!"
"No, Crown Prince Zhao has been away from the Imperial City for some time. I heard he was on an errand, but I don't know what the errand was."
"Speaking of which, Prince Zhao is deeply favored by His Majesty."
"No."
"Hey, you said that Prince An, Prince An, is now Prince An. Do you think Prince An really killed Chen Fuyin's family?!"
"Didn't it mean that there are still doubts about the Chen family's case that have not yet been clarified, which is not enough to finalize the case?!"
"You believe it when people say it. What kind of case is this? A case of murder and genocide. Maybe it was to protect King An. Now I said it was suspicious. When the time comes, someone might be blamed for it. It doesn't concern King An. matter."
"Speaking of which, the Chen family is really unlucky, with only one Miao Miao left!"
"No!"
"Perhaps there is no chance of revenge. Who is King An? He is the biological son of His Majesty and Empress Yuan. They are very valuable. Even the lives of dozens of people in the Chen family are not as good as this one. Is it possible that King An needs to sacrifice his life?" Come to compensate?!”
As he was talking, a gust of wind came from nowhere, saying that the royal family was shielding Prince An and acting improperly, which made the students in the imperial city very angry. Some even proposed to write a book of ten thousand people, asking your majesty to punish the prince and treat the common people as blame.
But less than half a day after the incident happened, after Zhao Mingzhan left the palace, another imperial edict came from the palace, demoting King An to a commoner, and immediately imprisoned him in Yuanmingyuan, where no outsiders were allowed to visit.
As soon as this incident came out, the person who originally wanted to write a letter against King An was confused.
Common people? !
Common people? !
From being demoted from the Crown Prince to Prince An, and then from Prince An to a commoner, in just one day, the identity of the Crown Prince was completely stripped away.
