Stigma

Duan Mingchong clenched his hands in his sleeves, and said with difficulty: "Father, Sui Anhou...Looking at your face is ugly, let's take a look at the emperor Xuan first."

The emperor frowned, and while he was thinking, Dali Temple said: "The matter of passing foreign countries has been delayed for several days and there is no definite number. Now that hundreds of officials have been waiting here for a long time, your majesty should make a decision early. That's it."

There is not a good thing in the people of Sui Yan Xindao Dali Temple, I remember you too.

Jiang Enhe frowned as he watched from the sidelines, and couldn't hold back his cold voice at this time: "What did you mean by Lord Hou?"

Dali Temple said indifferently: "Why did Mr. Jiang say this? It was not a trivial matter to collude between Lord Hou and Nanjiang. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Gann said: "You..."

The emperor frowned, interrupted the quarrel between the two of them, and said, "Forgetting, can you still hold it?"

Since the emperor asked this sentence, naturally he would not care about his body.

Although Sui Yan's mind was a little confused, he could still hear such secret words. He fell on the ground, supported his body with his hands with difficulty, and reluctantly said: "The criminal minister is fine."

Duan Mingchong's nails fell into the palm of his hand, and he suppressed his impulse to step forward.

Sui Yan's legs were cold and numb, and she straightened up slightly.

Dali Temple Qing tilted his head and glanced at Sui Yan before bowing and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has carefully distinguished Sui Anhou's handwriting from the handwriting of the letter received by the princess of Nanjiang, and it is indeed the same. A few days ago, the minister was ordered to check Sui Anhou’s residence. The rice paper used in his study was also the same as this letter. The evidence was gathered, and I hope your majesty will be convicted."

The letter was placed on the table in front of the emperor. Emperor Beilan looked down and looked at him. He looked up at Sui Yan and said coldly, "Forgetting, did you really do this?"

Sui Yan said: "The minister has never done it."

The emperor said: "Then how do you explain these letters?"

Sui Yan raised his head slightly and said, "The minister has never done this before. Where does one know how these letters came from?"

This was too disrespectful, and the emperor's face sank slightly.

Duan Mingchong said hurriedly: "Father, I am waiting to be free in peace and time, and I am accustomed to having no words. I hope you will be forgiving for one or two."

Sui Anhou disrespect the emperor, his brother didn’t say anything, but the prince came first to sue the guilt. Everyone present had heard about the prince who was the same year old, and looked at Duan Mingchong. The look in his eyes is also a little vague and weird.

The emperor's face was blue and he lowered his voice and said, "Shut up!"

Duan Ming Chong slightly nodded to plead guilty.

Sui Yan saw that the emperor was so angry by Duan Mingchong's words, he secretly smiled in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.

He tilted his head and said with some doubts: "The ministers have no access to political affairs. Over the years, they have been able to do nothing by relying on the kindness of his majesty and the protection of the prince. Come find something to do for yourself? Letters and handwriting are very easy to imitate. What kind of evidence is this?"

The implication is that if I contact outsiders to harm the emperor, do I have enough to eat?

Man Chao also heard what he meant, and some people even noticed the four words "Prince Shield", and cast their eyes faintly toward the prince.

It seems that the rumors are not groundless.

The emperor was only half-dead by Duanming Chong, and now Sui Yan's chest hurts because of his anger. He almost indifferently looked at Sui Yan who was kneeling on the ground. Have you done this?"

Sui Yan knocked his head again and repeated: "The minister has never done it."

Dali Temple said indifferently: "Master Hou is really a deep city. Is it because of your excuses that things related to foreign countries can be easily revealed?"

Sui Yan said, "Yeah, that's what I think."

Dali Temple Qing: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Enhe and Song Xian couldn't hold back one of them, but they turned their heads and laughed.

There was already a buzzing in Sui Yan's ears, these people kept talking in his ears, and he was almost a little impatient.

"The things I have done will not be hidden from others; things that have not been done will not be recognized even if they die," Sui Yan said, looking at the Dali Temple Qing on the side. If you say that the witnesses are gathered together, then dare to ask, where are the witnesses?"

Dali Siqing, who had been standing quietly and looking at each other, said: "We originally sent someone to capture the princess of Nanjiang, but she refused to be arrested. We couldn't have to use a bow and crossbow to take her. Shot..."

Sui Yan interrupted him: "Where are people?"

Dali Siqing hesitated.

Song Xian kindly answered him on the side: "...Xu is the officer of the Xing Department. The officers and soldiers of the crossbow didn't look very good. They didn't shoot them, but just shot them directly."

Sui Yan gave a thoughtful "Oh" and asked earnestly: "Everyone is dead, then how do we know whether the princess of Nanjiang Former Dynasty was deliberately killed by you to make a deadly proof?"

Dali Temple said: "The Southern Dynasty princess wanted to escape in fear of sin, so we had no choice but to shoot her, Hou Ye, even if you want to get rid of sin, you don't have to guess like this."

Sui Yan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said lightly: "I'll say it for the last time. I haven't done this before, I don't admit it."

The emperor's face was very gloomy. He looked at Sui Yan who was trembling on the ground, and all the compassion in his eyes disappeared.

Dali Temple Secretary also didn't bother to argue with Sui Yan, and said: "Your Majesty, the evidence is solid. If people who are familiar with foreign countries are not severely punished, people in the court will not be able to follow suit? I hope that your Majesty will order a conviction to try to follow suit."

The emperor looked at Sui Yan for a long time before speaking with difficulty.

"Waiting for years, colluding with foreign enemies and rebellious, violating the law and committing crimes..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Mingchong knelt down and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, think twice, this matter is not proven. If you have a hasty conviction, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Suixun also heard the chill in the emperor's tone, and frowned, "I hope your majesty will think twice."

Sui Yan heard dimly, his body swayed slightly, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

The emperor had already decided on Sui Yan’s punishment a few days ago. Now the questioning in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is just a cutscene. He did not listen to Sui Yan’s excuse at all. He just wanted to take this opportunity to stand up. .

He would not allow a man to mix with the crown prince he had cultivated. The only way was to kill him or let the prince give up.

The prince was mild-tempered, but he was unexpectedly stubborn about Sui Yan's affairs. He couldn't kill Sui Yan openly, so he could only think of other ways.

The emperor said after a pause, before continuing: "...To seize the title, the rod is fifty, and you can't leave the house for a year in confinement."

Duan Mingchong: "Your Majesty!"

Suixun frowned and knelt down and said: "I beg your majesty to think twice. Forgetting to return from a serious illness a few days ago, you must not be able to bear such heavy responsibility. I hope that your majesty will allow his ministers to be punished for forgetting."

Although fifty sticks is not a serious punishment, Sui Yan's body is too weak. If he really suffers fifty sticks, half of his life must be taken away. If it is more serious, the whole person will be destroyed.

In the eyes of the emperor, the reason why the prince was so greedy for Sui Yan was nothing more than a beautiful skin.

The love that is said is so deep and righteous, but if Sui Yan is really abandoned, how can the young prince who has not changed anything abandon the position of the ninety-five for the sake of a waste person?

This is how people are, especially those of the royal family.

Calm and indifferent.

The rumors of Duan Mingchong's walk prevented the emperor from directly killing Sui Yan, and the emperor has been in charge of the world for many years, and how young Duan Mingchong can fight.

He couldn't kill Sui Yan, he could only let Duan Mingchong take the initiative to let go.

Sui Yan thought to himself: "Hit it, hit it, I'll see what the people of the world say about you."

There is no fear in his heart, but there is a kind of relief-let him kneel here and wait for a group of people to quarrel, it is better to sin and let him sleep comfortably.

But before he had completely fainted, the Dali Temple on the side suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing to report, which is also related to Sui Anhou."

The emperor was full of irritability, and frowned when he heard these words: "What's the matter?"

Dali Temple said: "Bring people up."

Soon, people from the Xing Department dragged in from the outside with all their bodies dirty, and forced her to be beside Sui Yan, kneeling heavily on the ground.

Sui Yan glanced at Xianyi, forcibly holding the last trace of Qingming, and thought in confusion: "Didn't it mean Xianyi went to the south of the Yangtze River to shelter from the limelight? How could he still be caught?"

Jiang Enhe was anxious about Sui Yan's stick responsibility, but when he saw Xiyan being brought up, he opened his eyes in amazement for a long time.

The emperor frowned: "Who is this?"

Dali Temple said: "This is the person who murdered His Royal Highness the Five Princes on the Chenghuang Temple Long Street four years ago."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at Xianyi in surprise.

Xiu Xu was injured, and his expression was sullen. His hands were tied behind his waist with chains, and he raised his head with some difficulty and glanced at Gan Enhe.

Gann and the hands in their sleeves were shaking slightly.

Xianyan looked at the anxious color on Gannhe's face, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly and blinked at him.

Gann could not wait to rush forward and beat her up.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly: "Is she... who hurt my emperor?"

Dali Temple said: "Yes, the minister sent someone to visit secretly for a long time, and found that this woman is very famous in the dark street in Beijing. Back then, before the Lantern Festival after the new year, she had received the appointment from the Sui'an Hou Mansion, and the minister also asked At that time, the people accompanying the five princes asked about it. At that time, it was a young girl who crashed into His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness was injured and poisoned."

The emperor looked at Sui Yan a little gloomily, and suppressed his voice: "Sui'an... Sui'anhou... what else do you have to defend? This person..."

He tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and directly took the zipper on the side and smashed it down, taking a few breaths according to the book case, and sternly: "This is the witness you want!"

Sui Yan held his hand and glanced at Xiu Xi with his head tilted, Xiu Xi was all messed up, and shook his head strenuously at him.

Sui Yan said to the emperor: "If your majesty wants to be convicted, you should convict it. Anyway, only the guilty minister has pleaded so many sentences. Your majesty still wants to punish me directly before he hears a word. If you want to come to the court, even if you say more than a thousand. Ten thousand words, your Majesty doesn't believe it either."

The emperor said angrily: "You...you are really clever, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Sui Yan said: "The criminals dare not...cough..."

Everyone hurriedly saluted, saying: "Your majesty calm down and guarantee the dragon body."

Duan Mingchong looked at Xiyan with an ugly expression and saw Sui Yan on the side. He could no longer help striding forward, and in the eyes of everyone, he held Sui Yan, who was almost a puddle of water, in his arms. .

Sui Yan could not even hold his hands, and fell into a warm embrace just before landing, and the familiar breath of Duan Mingchong came from all directions.

Sui Yan raised his head slightly, glanced at Duan Mingchong, and muttered: "Your Highness..."

Duan Mingchong hugged him tightly, knelt on the ground, and calmly said to the emperor: "Three or four years have passed since the Five Emperor Brothers. Dali Temple Qing only relied on external rumors to believe that Sui Anhou instigated this. Isn’t the woman too arbitrary for murdering the fifth prince? And the fact that Sui Anhou was framed for collusion with foreign enemies has not yet subsided, and you have turned out the truth about this file again. It’s a coincidence."

Duan Mingchong only felt Sui Yan's whole body hot, her hands were shaking with distress, and she gnashed her teeth.

"Even if this woman was the one who murdered the fifth prince in the past, isn't it because the second emperor brother found the medicine of the genius doctor?" Brother Five Emperors acted wantonly, and many enemies have been provoked over the years. It may be the hands of others, but Dali Temple Qing bluntly stated that Sui Anhou had instigated it. What is it for? Gu Ming said?"

The emperor didn't hear what he was talking about. He only knew that his son, whom he had cultivated for many years, was holding a man in the golden temple at this time, and he was still confronting him so fiercely.

He pressed the table firmly, and said sharply: "Prince, are you trying to rebel?"

Duan Ming Chong said: "I dare not, but just discuss the matter."

Sui Yan also couldn't hear what Duan Mingchong was saying with the Dali Temple Qing. He only felt a buzzing in his ears, and for a while it made him unclear where he was.

He leaned on Duan Mingchong, rubbed Duan Mingchong's neck lightly, and murmured, "His Royal Highness, I want to sleep."

Duan Mingchong hurriedly hugged him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

"I'll take you away right away."

Sui Yan nodded slightly and said okay.

The expressions on everyone's faces were difficult to distinguish.

The emperor gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Mingchong. After a while, he suppressed the killing intent, and said coldly toward the kneeling title: "You said, who instructed you to murder the five princes!? If there is a false word, beware. Your life!"

She shook her shoulders, bit her lip and looked at Sui Yan a little hesitantly.

The emperor sternly said: "Say!"

Xianyi leaned down slightly, and said with difficulty: "Yes...Yes..."

Duan Zhisu, who has been standing beside him quietly since the uprising, sighed slightly. When he was convicted just now, Yan was convicted and his expression remained the same. At this time, Xu felt tired and unexpectedly walked out a few times. step.

"Father."

The emperor said coldly: "What are you doing with you again?"

Duan Zhisu's expression was faint, he lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, and whispered softly: "It was Erchen who instructed her to murder the Five Emperors. This matter has nothing to do with Sui Anhou."

The emperor was taken aback, and the officials were in an uproar.
