The second prince, Zhou Han, was famous for his bravery and bravery. As a prince, he guarded the border for three years. He made many military exploits and was quite popular among the military men in the country.
Qian Zhen was brought out by him, and now he is valued by the emperor and selected into the Forbidden Army. Isn't this a recognition of Zhou Han?
As a result, Zhou Che was inexplicably chopped off. How could he not be angry?
"Sixth brother, you are too impulsive."
Beside him, a gentle-looking man also sighed softly.
This is Zhou Che's eldest brother, the eldest prince Zhou Yuan. He is kind and gentle in nature and is known as the "successor of peace in the world".
Then came the indifferent-looking Lao Sanshou Song - dressed as a scholar, and he was indeed a scholar. He was proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was praised as one of the most talented people in the world.
The fourth prince didn't come. He was special because he was a psychopath.
The last person with a sneer on his face was the fifth prince Zhou Ming, who was good at business, good at raising scholars, and had many staff and followers. It was he who invited Zhou Che into the palace for a drink, and also said that Zhou Che had raped his fiancée.
Qian Feng and his son are his mazai, and he is responsible for this catastrophe.
And the reason why Qian Zhen blocked the way was because he asked Qian Feng to signal, or the second prince also intervened?
However, none of this matters.
Zhou Cao looked at Zhou Che, waiting for his answer.
"He deserves to die," Zhou Che said.
"You fart!"
"He has made great achievements on the frontier, and now he is a general of the imperial army beside my father."
"Who do you think you are? You can kill him with just one knife if you say he deserves to die!?"
The second prince had a bad temper and immediately roared.
"Second brother, calm down your temper."
The emperor was neither happy nor angry, he just glanced at the second prince lightly.
"Yes..." Zhou Han could only retreat with regret.
The emperor looked at Zhou Che again: "Tell me the reason."
Zhou Che cupped his hands and said, "He was acting against his will. He knew that I was carrying a holy edict, but he deliberately blocked the way."
"Resisting and disobeying the decree and ignoring the dignity of the royal family are one of the crimes."
"The envoy cannot see the king, and the son cannot see the father. This is the second crime."
"The third crime is to prevent your son and minister from being able to clear himself up, to drink sin for no reason, and to have sinister intentions."
"With these three crimes, does this person deserve to be killed?"
The emperor was shocked and glanced at Zhou Che seriously, his eyes full of surprise.
He nodded: "If you deserve to be killed, you should be rewarded."
"Come here, take fifty taels of gold and reward the sixth prince!"
"Here!"
The eunuch bowed.
Everyone's expressions changed again, but no one dared to say anything.
The emperor's behavior has always been like this, and rewards and punishments are very clear.
One moment, you will be rewarded with money for your merits, and the next moment, your whole family will be killed for your crimes. This kind of thing has not been done before.
Zhou Che bowed and said, "Thank you, Father, for the reward."
"Moreover...if this person doesn't kill him, but talks nonsense in order to survive, and confesses the person behind it, I'm afraid it won't be good, right?"
"Brothers, please tell me, right?"
An obvious look of panic flashed across the second prince's face.
Finally, when he saw Qian Zhen's head, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Zhou Che didn't take it seriously.
The second child has military exploits, but his image is too poor to bring him down just because of such a small thing.
In the end, Qian Zhen still took the blame.
In this case, it would be better to chop off the money with a knife and the shock will come quickly, and you can also use this to establish your authority.
"besides!"
Zhou Che added: "As for the second emperor brother asking me what it is, I will answer you right now."
"I am the Sixth Prince of Daxia, Zhou Che, whom everyone calls a loser."
"But, even if I am a loser, I still have royal blood in my body, and I am also a member of the royal clan!"
"Not what the Second Emperor Brother said!"
The second prince suddenly became angry!
"Second brother." The emperor glanced at him and said, "I apologize to your sixth emperor brother."
The second prince glared: "Father!"
"Huh!?" The emperor frowned, his eyes swept across, and he was already half angry.
The second prince's body trembled, and he could only hand over to Zhou Che: "Brother Huang made a mistake, I am here to help my brother."
"No problem!" Zhou Che waved his hand calmly.
The emperor looked at him with strange eyes and nodded again: "Come here, I will reward the sixth prince fifty taels of gold."
This time, there are no reasons.
"Here!"
The eunuch brought another plate of gold.
Huangfu Yun looked slightly happy.
It was not because of the gold, but because of Zhou Che's transformation that he won the emperor's favor!
"Father!"
Sure enough, the fifth prince Zhou Ming, who suppressed his shock when he saw the second prince deflated, stood up.
His face was full of grief and anger, and he said: "Last night, I kindly invited the sixth emperor's brother to drink in the mansion, but he used the wine to insult the emperor's sister-in-law. Please punish me!"
After he spoke, many ministers echoed:
"What you do is really an insult to the royal family!"
"The matter is true, your Majesty, please depose the sixth prince!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
The emperor frowned and looked at Zhou Che: "Lao Liu, can you plead guilty?"
"I don't admit it." Zhou Che shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, I haven't even met Zhen yet, so is it too early to call him sister-in-law?"
"Can you insult someone without passing the test!?" Fifth Prince Zhou Ming said angrily.
Zhou Che asked back: "I was drinking in your house, and you just watched me insult her?"
"I'm drunk!"
"What about the other people in the mansion?"
"You are the prince, how dare they stop you?" Zhou Ming snorted coldly.
"I don't dare to stop you. I think you witnessed it?"
"Of course! I have a witness!"
"Then bring out witnesses, otherwise I will never plead guilty!"
"Are you talking back?" Zhou Ming sneered: "Bring everyone here."
"yes!"
After a while, two guards, three servants, and six maids were brought up.
The Emperor glanced at them: "Have you all seen the Sixth Prince insulting the Zhen family?"
Everyone responded in unison: "I saw it."
"Did you hear that? Lao Liu, what else do you have to say!?" Zhou Ming shouted immediately.
Zhou Che was unmoved, and had his servants and maids pulled down first, and asked the two guards: "Let me ask you, have I insulted Mrs. Zhen?"
"yes!"
"Then let me ask again, did I insult you?"
The atmosphere was condensed.
Huangfu Yun was stunned for a while, and when she came to her senses, her pretty face turned red.
The ministers even exploded:
"It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance!"
"How can a majestic prince say such a thing in front of a large crowd?"
"Stop talking, it's embarrassing for the historian to remember!"
"Shut up, everyone!" Zhou Che said impatiently, "It's humiliating to ask a question in front of you. As a prince, it's okay for me to suffer unjust injustice?"
Everyone was speechless.
"Asking you two!" Zhou Che shouted.
The two guards looked at each other and said immediately: "Go in!"
Then, Zhou Che called the remaining people over and asked them one by one, but got the same result: insult, insult in.
Before they came, they had already prepared their confessions.
Zhou Ming wanted to trample Zhou Che to death completely, so the more serious the crime, the better.
Going in and not going in are two different concepts.
If you go in, you don't have to run away from the crime of immorality. If you don't go in, you can get away with being drunk and rude.
"Lao Liu, what else do you want to test? Do you want to find a nanny to test Zhen's body?" Zhou Ming sneered.
Zhou Che glanced at him: "No need."
"Then please ask Father to convict you!" Zhou Ming said immediately.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Zhou Che refuted him and turned to the emperor to salute: "Father, I can prove my innocence, but I need my father to lend me something."
