The emperor's eyes instantly became sharp, and he glanced at Cang Bo Yi with a hint of gloom.
Cang Bo Yi said calmly: "I am the regent and have the responsibility of supervising the court and the prince. King Mo almost killed Princess Mo with a sword in Feng Yue Tower in public. Everyone in Feng Yue Tower could see it clearly.
The king advised you at that time, but you did not listen and actually killed Princess Mo. If the people knew that King Mo did not repent and killed his wife with his own hands, would such a cruel and bloody man also commit regicide one day? Or Common people? "
The emperor's brows also furrowed a bit, and as expected, his anger changed direction.
Cang Tingchen, who was originally proud, changed his face when he heard the last sentence: "Uncle, you are so alarmist. I have never thought about regicide and the common people?"
"It doesn't matter whether you think about it or not. What matters is what His Majesty thinks and what the people think? After all, everyone has seen with their own eyes that King Mo killed the princess he hit with a sword. He can even kill his own princess without any scruples. It's so cold and cruel. , is there anything you can't do!" Regent Cang Bo Yi asked.
Cang Tingchen looked at his father's stern eyes and was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground: "Father, calm down, please don't be deceived by the emperor's uncle. Is he deliberately sowing discord and slandering his sons?"
"If you don't have such thoughts, why are you afraid of slander!" The emperor was furious.
The emperor was the most suspicious. Naturally, the emperor would not have thought that his most cherished son could be so cold-blooded and cruel.
Maybe one day, he will really take action against himself or other princes.
Cang Tingchen was so frightened that his whole body trembled: "My son, I respect my father the most. I have never dared to have such thoughts. I ask my father to take a closer look."
Eunuch Wu walked in and spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the young master from Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion asked to see you and said he was here to testify."
Cang Tingchen's face turned cold: "Father, Yan Tianming and Ye Xingchen are in the same group, he will definitely speak for Ye Xingchen."
Originally, the emperor did not want to call witnesses, but he just heard what the regent said. King Mo has been too proud recently, and he has been very active in the court recently and has won over several ministers. He really needs to be punished.
"Let him in!" the emperor snorted coldly.
"Yes." Eunuch Wu immediately announced.
Yan Tianming walked in from outside the hall, followed by several people, including men and women, as well as Tang Yu and Tang Feng.
Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted: "See your majesty, long live your majesty!"
The emperor swept over coldly: "Yan Tianming, who are these?"
"Back to Your Majesty, they are all people who came together to testify. Yesterday, they were with me at Fengyue Tower and saw King Mo stabbing Princess Mo with his own eyes. If the regent hadn't passed by and came to the rescue, Princess Mo would have been chopped into pieces on the spot. Meat!" Yan Tianming explained immediately.
"Your Majesty, I can testify that King Mo really wants to kill Princess Mo." A young man said, it was Zhou Cai, the son of the Minister of Rites, and a good friend of Yan Tianming.
"Young ones can also testify." Others agreed.
"Your Majesty, I am a servant in Princess Mo's courtyard. Princess Mo just returned to the house tonight. King Mo first humiliated Princess Mo with words, and then killed Princess Mo with one palm. Your Majesty, please make the decision for my princess!" Tang Yu said and kowtowed loudly.
The emperor's face was extremely expressionless, but his reason kept him calm: "Although King Mo doesn't want to see Princess Mo on weekdays, he doesn't kill anyone. What's the secret behind this?"
Cang Bo Yi raised his eyebrows. The emperor was worthy of being an emperor. He was indeed shrewd, but he did not speak.
The emperor wanted to kill himself in every possible way. If he knew that he cared about Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen would definitely die a violent death.
"Back to Your Majesty, the cause of this incident is the one hundred thousand taels given to Princess Mo by the Zhenguo Duke's Palace. A few days ago during the Ghost Festival, the Zhenguo Duke's wife suddenly went to the palace in the middle of the night to beg my princess for help.
Later, the princess went and saved Mr. Yan's life. Then the Duke of Zhen and his wife gave the princess one hundred thousand taels as a reward.
The prince said in front of Mrs. Zhenguo that these one hundred thousand taels belong to my princess, and he will never interfere and let the princess handle it by herself.
As a result, when the princess came back today, the prince got into a fight because of the one hundred thousand pairs of princesses, and even killed the princess. Please keep your Majesty in mind! "Tang Feng explained clearly and clearly, word for word.
The emperor was furious: "King Mo, did you kill Ye Xingchen just for these one hundred thousand taels?"
"Father, please calm down. My son is not doing it for these one hundred thousand taels, but because Ye Xingchen used these one hundred thousand taels to buy the top card of Fengyue Tower. The top card is a man. My son is the majestic King Mo. How can he tolerate this?" That's why I took a heavy blow, but Erchen never thought of killing Ye Xingchen." Cang Tingchen explained.
"Cang Tingchen, you are really shameless. You dare to do something but don't take it seriously. Now that everyone is dead, you still shirk your responsibility like this. I really look down on you." Yan Tianming retorted immediately.
Father Ye twitched the corner of his mouth. He wanted to buy a top-notch man for one hundred thousand taels. Was this girl Xingchen kicked in the head by a donkey?
Ye's mother didn't take it seriously at all: "Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. Why can't women? The prince asked my daughter to remain a widow for three years. She just went to listen to music and didn't do anything excessive. Why not?"
[As expected of my mother, this idea is really advanced. 】
[Dad, you can go directly to King Mo. The emperor the year before last sent people to send people to Henan for disaster relief. King Mo took half of it, and even had people melt it into silver ingots and hide them in a back mountain cave three miles away in the eastern suburbs. . 】
[Also last year, the reason why so many soldiers at the border froze to death was because King Mo embezzled the soldiers' winter military supplies and used reed catkins instead of cotton, so the soldiers could not bear the winter. 】
[This year, the money for building the river embankment was handled by King Mo again. He was not a little greedy, so he exchanged all the money for banknotes and hid it in Jufeng Bank. 】
Father Ye was shocked. These were all serious crimes of confiscating homes and exterminating families. How could Xingchen know this?
"Nonsense, a woman should obey the three virtues and the four virtues, and obey her husband when she gets married. Mrs. Ye is so serious that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Cang Tingchen snorted coldly.
Now that they were all broken up, there was nothing left for him to take care of.
Seeing that his wife had been humiliated, Ye's father immediately became angry: "Your Majesty, I want to join King Mo to take Mo's money!"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was extremely shocked: "Ye Qing, what did you say?"
"Ye Yongcheng, don't frame me!" Cang Tingchen was furious.
"Back to Your Majesty, King Mo embezzled half of the silver coins you sent to Henan for disaster relief the year before last. He had the silver melted into silver ingots and hid them in a back cave three miles away in the eastern suburbs. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check. !" Father Ye said sternly.
Cang Tingchen was completely shocked. He looked at Father Ye in disbelief. How could he know that he had embezzled money and had a place to hide it.
The emperor's face was ashen, and the aura around his body was filled with danger and coldness. His sharp black pupils shone with cold light: "Ye Qing, if what you said is true, you should know the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The cold voice was full of pressure.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee with my life and property that every word is true." Father Ye said solemnly.
Daughter, you must not cheat your father. He would risk his life for you.
Cang Tingchen's back was covered with cold sweat. He would never admit it, not even to death. He raised his head and glanced at a little eunuch in the corner, winked at him, and the little eunuch quietly retreated.
But all this was seen by Cang Bo Yi: "Who are you going to secretly report to?"
The cold voice resounded throughout the hall.
