Just when the emperor was about to retire, Princess Maoling shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! This matter today is too strange! That Ge Qing is obviously pretending to be a ghost, his words cannot be trusted!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, that Ge Qing knows the Bone Shrinking Skill," Yao Tai also said, "He can do things that ordinary people can't do, but you must not be deceived by him and let the real culprit go!"
"Your Majesty, I also implore you to investigate the matter more clearly in the palace." Concubine Fu also expressed her position, "I have been wronged and wronged. Even if gods come forward, there are still some people who don't believe me. I beg your Majesty to protect my concubine in front of all the civil and military officials. Clear your name!”
"Ge Qing is dead, and the other people have also admitted to being false. What else is there to be interrogated for?!" The emperor was also very frustrated. He wanted Shang Qiyan to explain it clearly to him in private. After all, there were many things he really wanted to know about this matter. I don’t understand, “Which of you has the ability to revive Ge Qing, and I will continue the trial!”
"Your Majesty, this is clearly a trap prepared by Concubine Fu and others in advance. They discussed it with Ge Qing in advance and asked him to pretend to admit it first and get away with it.
Then, in the main hall, he pretended to be a ghost, which not only completely cleared his suspicions, but also laid a lead. From then on, everyone in the palace would inevitably be wary and suspicious of each other. Princess Maoling said, "Otherwise, why didn't Ge Qing explain who the real culprit was?" Instead, he made such confusing remarks to confuse the audience. "
"Not only that, Ge Qing also used the mouth of gods to exempt others from the death penalty. This was clearly intentional.
Anyway, he himself could not escape the death penalty. In this way, he not only saved his master, but also protected his family, and even made the witnesses change their stories. It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone. "Yao Tai and Princess Maoling are indeed husband and wife, they sing and harmonize, and they work together perfectly.
"Father," the fifth prince who had been silent at this time stood up, "Princess Maoling and uncle Maoling are so aggressive, but there is no conclusive evidence, and they just rely on guesswork to forcefully place such a stigma and serious crime on their mother. On the concubine’s body. As a son of a human being, I really can’t bear it!
Why did Ge Qing say that he was instigated by my mother-in-law? He couldn't have found those witnesses himself, right? !
Didn’t the person who presided over the trial review it over and over again to make sure it was correct? Or is it presented to the Emperor Father only if he cannot determine the authenticity of the matter?
Regardless of whether Ge Qing is really possessed by the God of Japan or is pretending to be a ghost, why did all those people change their stories? Instead of sticking to his previous testimony and exposing Ge Qing?
Or think more deeply, why is my mother and concubine always framed? One wave after another?
If Ge Qing was his mother's concubine, then he should have refused to say that it was the mother's concubine who instigated him from the beginning to the end, so why go to all the trouble to go through such a circle? !
There was no doubt about the guilt, not to mention that all the witnesses now confessed! "
The fifth prince really couldn't stand it anymore this time. The Yao family was too domineering, oppressing others, being unreasonable and unreasonable.
"Uncle, princess, no matter how much you feel sorry for your daughter, you still have to be reasonable." The emperor couldn't stand it anymore. "I'm not old and stupid. This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Fu! As for who really instigated Ge Qing, I will send people to continue to investigate. But just for the sake of quick success, we cannot wrongly accuse good people out of thin air."
As soon as the emperor said this, Yao Tai and his wife couldn't make another mistake.
After all, all this quarreling and arguing will ultimately lead to nothing.
The most important thing is that what Ge Qing does is really unpredictable.
You said that he and Concubine Fu were in the same group, so he couldn't afford to recruit Concubine Fu.
What's more, his family members were all outside the palace at that time, so they were not held hostage by Concubine Fu's people.
If they weren't from the same group, why did he save Concubine Fu in the end?
But why did those few also change their tune?
Is it really the law of heaven and the possession of gods?
Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but no one could tell what was going on.
"That's it for now, let's disperse first!" The emperor put his hands on his waist unconsciously. He had been sitting for too long and his back was sore.
"Father, I still have something to report." The fifth prince crossed his arms and moved forward.
"Is there anything else?" The emperor's tone was somewhat impatient.
"Recently, rumors about the emperor's eldest grandson are spreading everywhere in the capital," the fifth prince said. "They are all untrue and ridiculous nonsense."
"What kind of big deal is this? Do you want you to mention it in the court?" The emperor said after hearing this, "You don't need to say it, I already know it."
"Father, don't you think this is a big deal?" the fifth prince asked.
"Rumors only stop at the wise. Those who spread these rumors are fools." The emperor chuckled, "Just take it as a joke."
"My son thinks so too, but some people don't think so. In the past two days, more than a dozen officials' families have come to my son's house for help..." the fifth prince said.
"Help? What can I ask for help?" The emperor frowned.
"Just because these officials were on the roster, they were afraid of something unexpected, so they came to see Erchen. Erchen thought that no matter what, this was a rumor related to Lin'er after all, and it was related to Chao Gang, so he couldn't ignore it, so he boldly Report this matter to my father."
"What roster? Why did something unexpected happen? What is going on? Tell me in detail." The emperor immediately forgot about the pain in his back and asked the fifth prince to tell him in detail.
"Mr. Liu Mizhang Liu specially made a list of people who participated in spreading rumors related to Lin'er.
They also ranked their crimes from serious to light, and then wrote recommendations on how to deal with them, including removal from office, exile, demotion, transfer, etc.
Some people did spread the rumors, but some didn't. But whether there is or not, Master Liu's move seems to be contrary to the laws and ethics of the court, and I think it is extremely undesirable.
Not only that, but I heard that the Concubine Xian was doing the same thing in the palace. Nowadays, people in the harem are in panic, and two timid palace maids even tried to commit suicide. Fortunately, they were saved. "
The emperor was already very anxious. After hearing what the fifth prince said, he was almost fuming with anger. He asked in a deep voice: "Where is Liu Mizhang?! Who told you to do such a thing?! How dare you eat a bear's heart?" Is the leopard so brave?!"
Liu Mizhang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I deserve death for my crime!"
It was useless for him to deny this matter, because too many people knew about it.
Besides, since the fifth prince dared to speak out about this matter in court, he must have conclusive evidence in his hands. Nothing else is needed, just the testimony of those on the list is enough.
He also regretted that this matter was done in a confidential manner.
But having said that, there are so many people involved in this matter that it is impossible for no news to leak out.
"Do you still know that you deserve to die?!" The emperor looked at him with a cold look in his eyes, "You are so dear to me!"
Then he said: "Concubine Xian! You really deserve the word Xian!"
At this time, everyone understood that what the emperor said was obviously irony.
