In order to let the court officials see the exciting scene, Wei Zhongxian also ordered people to light the awakening incense at a specific time.
In this way, when Li Rui brings Yan Song and other ministers to Kunde Palace, they will see exactly what Wei Zhongxian wants them to see.
At that time, even if they have all kinds of clever words and smooth tongues, they will not be able to explain the truth.
Li Yong, Yan Song and others kicked open the door of the Kunde Palace with great force as if they were raping someone. What they saw and heard shocked all the ministers present.
The Queen and the Empress in the palace realized immediately after they woke up that they were being plotted against, and they wanted to escape from here.
But the timing of Li Rui's arrival was too coincidental. When Li Rui and his ministers barged in, the two of them had not had time to respond.
The veterans behind Yan Song looked at the clothes scattered on the ground and recalled how ridiculous the war scenes here not long ago were.
Cai Yuanmao, the Minister of Rites, looked at this scene and cursed angrily with trembling fingers: "Li Yong, Li Yong, you are simply worse than a beast!"
"No, no, the two of us didn't do anything. Someone is setting us up!" The Queen explained with a look of horror on her face.
Li Rui felt happy, but still said with a stern face: "Mother, is there someone framed for this matter?"
"Why don't others frame me, but why do they frame the emperor's brother?"
At this time, Wei Zhongxian also reminded him: "Your Majesty, it turns out that the Queen is not crazy!"
After Wei Zhongxian's reminder, Li Rui's eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly realized: "Mother, you are pretending to be crazy?"
"Sure enough, you pretended to be crazy and scared your father to death. It seems that the instigator behind this was Li Yong, the thief! It was you who instigated your mother to pretend to be crazy to scare your father to death, so that you could take advantage of your identity as the eldest son. Inherit the throne!"
The eldest prince Li Yong was caught red-handed by the officials. In fact, many officials knew that this matter must have been framed. As for who it was, everyone knew that Du Ming,
"I have never done any of these, don't try to taint someone's innocence!" the eldest prince said coldly.
Li Rui took advantage of his strong energy and pressed further: "But you never expected it!"
"My father made a succession edict long ago under the upright and bright plaque, which led to your previous plan to scare my father to death in the end!"
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Li Yong retorted and looked at the ministers for help.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Who asked the emperor to write the edict to let the third prince Li Rui succeed to the throne? Now, who among the ministers and officials dares to speak out for the eldest prince.
"Huh? I put the hat on your head randomly?"
"Then why did the Queen Mother appear in Father's palace that night with her hair disheveled and like an evil ghost?"
"And what about Queen Mother who was crazy and now she is sober?"
"This this..."
A series of questions left the eldest prince Li Yong speechless.
Li Rui looked sideways at the Queen's palace and asked, "Since Li Yong can't answer the questions, why don't I ask you, Queen Mother, to answer the questions I just asked for him?"
The queen did not respond to Li Rui's questions face to face, but said directly: "I am upright and innocent, and no one instigated me to murder your majesty, as you speculated. As soon as I entered the palace, your father, the emperor, He is already dead!"
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous! My father was in his prime, how could he have gone off to the west without your pretending to be a ghost that night, my mother?"
"Moreover, my mother was crazy and crazy a few days ago, but now she is in good spirits! What kind of miraculous medicine did Mo Liyong ask for for you, or what kind of miraculous medical method does he know?"
"Since Li Yong can restore the madman to his original state, I will issue an order to search for the insane person in the capital. If he can be cured, I believe that you two are curing the disease today. If he cannot be cured, Okay...just wait for me, I will get to the bottom of your father's death!"
"Fart, the reason I went to your father's palace that day was because I wanted to scare him, but when I got there, your father had no breath at all and his face was bloodless!"
"Your father was clearly the victim of that damn demon concubine Li Wanji..."
The Queen spoke the truth, but none of the ministers wanted to believe her at this moment.
At this moment, the eldest prince also told the story that he was called into the palace today and fainted to the ground after seeing his mother for a while.
Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, Li Rui immediately shouted: "Come here, put the Empress Dowager in the cold palace. As for the traitor Li Yong, he will be thrown into the sky prison immediately. No one is allowed to visit her without my order."
Li Rui gave an order, and a group of fully armed soldiers rushed out and dragged Li Yong down. Another group of old palace maids escorted the Queen Mother into the cold palace.
Li Rui refused to let the two of them speak, and everything here was basically clear.
Anyone who is not stupid knows that this was done deliberately by Li Rui. His purpose was to scare the monkeys and make his throne more secure.
However, after all, this is the royal family's own business. He, Li Rui, is so shameless and resorts to such despicable methods. He also loses the face of his elder Chen Li family.
In order to prove the eldest prince's crime and make him socially dead, Li Rui specially asked Wei Zhongxian to spread the news throughout the capital.
Just like this, rumors about the royal family immediately spread throughout the city. Even the late emperor was frightened to death by the conspiracy between the two of them.
Although Li Xuanji was fatuous and incompetent and did not deserve the sympathy of the people, this did not affect the people of the world from enjoying such a powerful melon as the royal family.
When Zhou Yi heard the news that the Empress Dowager was framed, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that Wei Zhongxian, the dead eunuch, was too insidious and vicious.
However, Zhou Yi knew that it was time for him to leave the capital and return to Yongzhou, his own three-acre area.
Zhou Yi summoned Bai Sheng and left a letter, saying: "Bai Sheng, I will return to Yongzhou soon. Give this letter to Wei Zhongxian. It contains the plan I made for him. You can find a suitable time." Give the letter to him and he will understand it naturally after reading it. Then you can also use his power to find out more information!"
Bai Sheng took the letter respectfully, curious in his heart what plan his master had made for the dead eunuch.
