A Clash of Gods - Chapter 819

[Chapter 810]

Hu Bowen claimed that the confession was forced by others, Long Tai was startled, but the King of Huainan changed slightly.

“Forced by others?” Sima Changshen had already lost no time in exclaiming, “Hu Bowen, you said that this confession was forced by others. Are you saying that this is not the truth?”

The King of Huainan said coldly: “Hu Bowen, the confession you signed and detained was interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. What do you mean by being forced by others?”

“Your Majesty, someone threatened the life of the sinner’s family and ordered the sinner to write this confession to frame the Duke of Zhen.” Hu Bowen raised his head and said, “The sinner has thought about it, the emperor’s long grace is mighty, if the sinner is To deceive the sage with ignorance of conscience, to frame Zhongliang, even the ancestors and sects of sinful ministers will not be able to let them go.”

“Framed Zhongliang?” Su Zhen had already said, “Hu Bowen, what do you mean by that?”

“Marquis of Wuxiang, in order to assist the state, the old prince, regardless of his advanced age, put all his energy into it.” Hu Bowen said loudly, “Someone forced the criminal minister to write a confession to frame the old prince, naturally he wanted the criminal minister to frame Zhongliang. Although the offender has committed a serious crime, he is not willing to make mistakes again and again.”

The corners of King Huainan’s eyes twitched, and he said coldly, “Hu Bowen, the emperor is here, and the officials are here too. You should be more careful when you speak.”

“Your lord ordered Hu Bowen to bring him here. Could it be that he wanted to testify against him in public?” Sima Changshen snorted coldly, “Now that Hu Bowen has revealed the truth to the sage, does the lord not let him speak?”

Longtai glanced at Sima Changshen before asking, “Hu Bowen, you said someone threatened you, but who is that?”

Without hesitation, Hu Bowen raised his finger to the King of Huainan: “Your Majesty, before the sinful minister sent his envoy to Dongqi, the King of Huainan instructed the sinful minister to join forces with Liang Xiong to sabotage the mission of Jinyi’s envoy. He threatened the sinful minister, if the sinful minister would not obey. , the minister’s family will not be protected. The minister is extremely confused, and in order to protect the safety of his family, he made a big mistake.”

There was a commotion all over the place, and all the ministers were amazed. Originally, the King of Huainan insisted on letting Hu Bowen testify. Everyone thought that after Hu Bowen came out, he would testify that Sima Lan was the one behind the scenes. No one would have thought that Hu Bowen pointed directly at Huainan Wang is the mastermind behind it, which is beyond everyone’s expectations.

The King of Huainan’s face was extremely ugly, and he said sharply: “Hu Bowen, you are so bold, how dare you talk about it here.”

“King Huainan, Hu Bowen’s confession falsely accused my father of being the man behind the scenes, so you don’t think he was open-mouthed. Now Hu Bowen has reined in his horse and told the Holy Master the truth, but you say that he is open-mouthed.” Sima Changshen also said sharply: “Your Majesty’s means of turning the clouds over the rain is really amazing.”

“It is well known throughout the dynasty that your Sima family is determined to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace. For the benefit of my great Chu, the emperor sent Jinyi as an envoy to Dongqi to marry Princess Tianxiang, and also to set up Princess Tianxiang as the queen.” Huainan Although Wang’s face was ugly, he was still calm at the moment, and said coldly: “Princess Tianxiang comes to our country of Chu, and your Sima family’s wishful thinking about controlling the harem will be shattered. Hu Bowen, isn’t what this king said exactly what you admitted?”

However, Hu Bowen said: “My lord, because of this, once the mission is really destroyed and cannot complete its mission, many people will naturally think that it was done by someone sent by the old prince. Do you remember that before the mission, you I told the guilty minister that once this matter is successful, it will kill two birds with one stone, not only can we target the Sima family, but also the Jinyihou can take the opportunity to suppress the emperor’s life.” Having said that, he looked at Qi Ning. at a glance.

Qi Ning was dressed in court clothes, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his face expressionless, and he didn’t say a word.

After Hu Bowen appeared, Sima Lan didn’t speak, only then did he sigh lightly and said: “My lord, this old minister knows that Su Ri is doing things, and you and I have slightly different political views, but the old minister always thought that even if our political views were different, it was all for my sake. Chu can be prosperous, and we can discuss some things slowly.” Shaking his head, “My Sima family has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and it is already a great honor.

The emperor thought that the old ministers had been loyal to the country for many years. This title of duke has already made the Sima family grateful.

What’s more, it is necessary to prevent the mission from going to Dongqi because of this. Although the old minister is confused, it is not so unbearable.

Why did the lord use this method to trap the old minister in disloyalty!

”

Sima Changshen did not miss the opportunity to say: “Your Majesty, the King of Huainan is framed and framed, and his heart is ill-predicted, please ask the Emperor to investigate!”

The King of Huainan was already pale at this time, but at this time, one of the ministers stepped forward and said loudly: “Your Majesty, Hu Bo Wen committed a capital crime, and now he is talking nonsense here. He deliberately slandered the prince, and he must investigate carefully. The lord is bright and upright, and he has never worked hard for my great Chu, but now he has to be framed by a traitor, and the minister will vindicate the lord.”

Everyone looked, only to see that the person who suddenly stood up was actually Dou Kui, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

Dou Kui was a die-hard friend of the King of Huainan, and it was not surprising to everyone that he stood up to speak for the King of Huainan at this time.

Longtai pondered for a moment, and finally asked: “Hu Bowen, you said that this confession was written by King Huainan coerced you, and that the person who instructed you to destroy the mission was the uncle of King Huainan, so what evidence do you have to prove it? It’s just empty words, How can I believe what you say?”

Hu Bowen lay down on the ground and said: “Everything that the guilty minister said is true, but there is no other evidence in his hands. At that time, it was Qian Raoshun, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who forced the guilty minister to write this confession. The minister cannot write down this confession, sign it, and the family of the minister is at stake.”

Longtai glanced at Qian Raoshun, and said coldly, “Qian Raoshun, is there any such thing?”

The Minister of Punishment, Qian Raoshun, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, “Your Majesty, Hu Bowen… Hu Bowen spit out blood, minister…!” Before he could finish speaking, the King of Huainan sneered: “Your Majesty, Hu Bowen Here he is like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately, this person is guilty of heinous crimes, and now he is deceiving the emperor, the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the nine clans involved, must not be forgiven lightly.”

However, Hu Bowen said sharply: “Master Qian, you were in charge of the punishment of my Great Chu. Back then, you were considered to be impartial and judged the case, and you were even praised by the late emperor. Shouldn’t you tell the truth today and frame Zhongliang and Liangliang?” Now that someone is going to frame and murder his old man, I, Hu Bowen, don’t care about the lives of the whole family, and tell the truth to the emperor, are you still obsessed?”

The King of Huainan clenched his fists with both hands, and his face was even more ugly. Qian Raoshun lay on the ground, looked up at Longtai, and shouted abruptly, “Long live Qi, this minister deserves death, and I beg the emperor to punish him!”

Qi Ning has been watching from the sidelines, this case is being tried in full view, but the development is unexpected. Among Hu Bowen’s overthrow of his confession, Qi Ning has already realized that something is wrong. At this time, Qian Raoshun suddenly pleaded guilty to the emperor, and Qi Ning Knowing things is even more unpredictable.

“What crime did you commit?” Longtai asked in a deep voice.

Qian Raoshun glanced at King Huainan, and saw that King Huainan was also staring at him, with the granite floor of the sacrificial platform on his forehead, “Report to the sage, Hu Bowen’s confession is indeed… It is indeed a confession forced by torture. Huainan The king secretly summoned the minister, and ordered the minister to have Hu Bowen sign the confession, no matter whether it was coercion or enticement, so that he could frame the old prince. Signed and detained on this confession, all the words in this confession were written according to the instructions of the prince, the minister…the minister bends the law for his own sake, is ashamed of the Holy One, and asks the Holy One to punish him!”

The King of Huainan was already pale at this time, and he couldn’t help but take two steps back, but suddenly rushed forward a few steps, pointed at Qian Raoshun, and shouted sharply: “Qian Raoshun, do you know what you are talking about?”

Qian Raoshun raised his head, looked at the King of Huainan, and said with a look of fear: “My lord, this minister…I really don’t dare to deceive the king, and I don’t want to frame Zhongliang. I can lose my head, but… ..but no conscience.”

The ministers were already in an uproar at this time.

If what Hu Bowen said was not enough to be believed by everyone, then as soon as Qian Raoshun said these words, everyone felt that all this must have been planned by the King of Huainan.

As we all know, Qian Raoshun has always had a close relationship with the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan and the Sima family fought in the court. Qian Raoshun has always been the main general of the King of Huainan, and won the trust of the King of Huainan. As a confidant of the King of Huainan , Qian Raoshun rebelled in public, and everyone was surprised.

“It turns out that all this was planned by the King of Huainan.” Sima Changshen sneered: “Don’t you think it’s too despicable for the lord to frame our Sima family by such means?”

The King of Huainan ignored Sima Changshen and stared at the calm Sima Lan. Instead of being angry, he laughed. The laughter spread far and wide. The ministers thought that the King of Huainan had admitted and framed Sima Lan, but he was still in front of the emperor. Laughing wildly is really rude and disrespectful.

Longtai glanced at the king of Huainan, and finally said, “Why is Uncle Huainan laughing?”

“Your Majesty, the court has such a huge traitor. It seems that I am really right on the side of the Qingjun this time.” King Huainan carried his hands on his back: “Sima Lan is virtuous, but insidious and cunning, and he secretly bought Qian Raoshun, which is beyond my expectations. .” Staring at Sima Lan, he said with a sneer, “Mr. Zhen Guogong, good trick!”

Sima Lan glanced at the King of Huainan, and his tone was still calm: “Justice is in the hearts of the people, the lord wants to trap the old ministers for being unfaithful today, so he even wants to stop the ceremony of the sacrificial ceremony. Mr. Qian and Hu Bowen have not lost their conscience and revealed the truth to the emperor. If the prince immediately asks the emperor to apologize, I will still beg for mercy for the prince.”

“The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people.” Sima Changshen sneered: “To obstruct the sacrificial ceremony, to frame Zhongliang, and to sabotage the mission’s courtship before, each of these serious crimes is appalling, and now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are here. As proof, if it doesn’t work out, what are the laws of the imperial court?”
