Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 552

[Chapter 552]

King Jin knelt down on the ground, and when he heard this, he quickly raised his head and looked at the emperor with a sad face: “Father, what kind of person is my son, you should know clearly in your heart, and my son admits that you have been with eldest brother all these years. Fighting has caused the father to worry a lot, but the son always remembers the father’s teaching, brothers can fight, but they will never do anything that damages the Dali Dynasty.”

The emperor narrowed his eyes sharply, and a deep disappointment flashed in his eyes: “Young third, I really misread you. I thought that although you were a little careful, you were still a gentleman, but I really didn’t expect you to be a gentleman at all. Downright villain!”

How could he say such a thing so boldly after the dyke burst and harmed so many people?

“Your Majesty, when you say this, I’m not forcing your son to die?” King Jin’s face turned pale, and as soon as his voice fell, tears welled up in his eyes, “My son always bears in mind the teachings of the father, and wakes up three times a day. , always thinking of taking the father as an example and doing things that are beneficial to the people and the court, but the father thinks that the son is a villain, such an assertion, what kind of face does the son have to live in the world?”

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, not wanting to look at King Jin’s expression again: “Since you don’t want to admit it, I will ask you personally. The salt merchants in Jiangnan and the officials in Linjiang City confessed that they checked the salt tax last time. After that, a total of nearly three million taels of silver were donated to you, is this true?”

“No, it’s completely nonsense.”

“Some people have confessed that the reason why Linjiang burst the dyke is that you want to destroy the evidence of forged salt tax account books and tax silver. Is this true?”

“No, Erchen doesn’t know about it.”

“If you don’t admit these two things, then you won’t even recognize the case of beggars hiding silver in the capital.” The emperor turned and sat back on the throne, looking at King Jin indifferently: “This is the end of the matter. I don’t want to talk to you any more, just ask you one question, do you know the sin?”

The King of Jin panicked in his heart: “Father, my son doesn’t know what’s wrong, and I ask Father to show it.”

“Didn’t you say it before? After I issued the decree, you should have returned to the capital with King Ling, but you stayed in Jingling City for a few days, obviously disobeying the decree.”

King Jin’s heart couldn’t help sinking: “Father, the reason why my son stayed in Linjiang City is to help Master Qi to complete the work of cutting and straightening Linjiang, and the rainy season in Jiangnan will happen at any time. Come, when the heavy rain pours down, the embankment of Linjiang will not be able to be preserved, and my son is also for the sake of the people of Linjiang City…”

“I don’t care who you are thinking about, I only know that after receiving the will, if you disobeyed and disrespected me, it is already extremely disrespectful to me. Is it possible that you are not even willing to admit the crime you said?”

King Jin clenched his fist tightly, looked up at the emperor’s icy expression, and a chill hit his heart: “My son…I am willing to admit it.”

“That’s good, you are my son anyway, I won’t kill you all, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the life crime is inevitable. If you disobey the decree and disrespect, I will remove your title of King Jin and confine you to your current residence. Mansion, without my will, you are not allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to visit!”

King Jin couldn’t help trembling: “Father, do you want to imprison your son?”

“Defying the decree and disrespecting it is a capital crime. It is an extra-judicial kindness for me to imprison you. I have exempted you from the title of the prince, but the servants who should be served and served will not be exempted. In the future…you can do it yourself. ”

King Jin couldn’t help his eyes turning red: “Father, why do you treat your son like this? The son believes that since he took over the errands as an adult, he has done everything he has given to his father, even the great emperor. My brother has been suppressed, and I have been working hard to endure it. Is what I have done for so many years, is it worthless in the eyes of the father? The elder brother is narrow-minded, you can tolerate him many times, this time he went to Jiangnan completely. He doesn’t care about the life and death of the people, he can be said to be doing nothing, you don’t punish him, but you punish me, is it because the mother and concubine have a low background?”

King Jin couldn’t help roaring out the thoughts in his heart, and then put his hands on the ground, tears falling down.

The emperor looked at him coldly, his eyes swayed slightly for a moment, and he returned to a calm state: “The third, my background is also not high, just because I know this kind of suffering, so over the years, I have treated you and your mother. The concubine is very fond of you. If you come out and talk about things, then I ask you, have you been bullied by slaves in the harem because your mother and concubine are not of high birth? Punish them, but have you fallen once? You can only see the badness of others to you, but you can’t remember the kindness of others to you. ”

“Father, your kindness to your son will always be remembered in your heart.”

“You go down, I don’t want to see you again.”

King Jin was stubbornly clenching his fists and his chest couldn’t stop rising and falling: “Father, my son is not convinced. If you want to confine your son, the son will recognize it, but you also ask the father to explain the reason and the son. Make it clear, so that Erchen can understand.”

The emperor picked up the book on the table and threw it directly in front of King Jin: “You can see for yourself.”

King Jin picked up the memorial and browsed it quickly, and after reading it, his face became paler and paler: “Father, my son, I don’t know why the beggars have silver hidden in them, and they did not instruct them to smuggle the tax silver into Beijing. Someone is deliberately framed. , ask Father Emperor Mingcha.”

“Those people have already admitted that they were instructed by you behind their backs, and I have also asked people to verify that your two uncles and the staff in the mansion did have contact with them.”

“How is that possible?” King Jin shook his head quickly. Those salt taxes were not handed over to the government at all, but were sent directly to the capital in the form of silver bills, so there would be no beggars hiding money into the capital at all. This is clearly someone. Deliberately framed! Could it be that King Ling who came to ridicule him, King Jin suddenly raised his head and said, “Father, my son, this is all arranged by the eldest brother. We have been fighting for so many years, and he has long disliked me and held a grudge against me. In the heart, taking advantage of my absence in Kyoto this time, I used the Li family and my two uncles to fabricate evidence to frame me.”

“Framed?” The emperor smiled coldly. These things have been verified by the Shadow Guard, but King Jin still refused to admit it. “Okay, if you said that you were framed, do you have evidence?”

King Jin thought quickly: “Father, the salt tax, tax, and silver are of great importance, and the amount is huge. It is impossible for the Li family to raise such a large amount of silver. As long as people investigate the Li family, they will surely find clues. ”

“Thirdest, the seized silver taels are not a dozen or hundreds of thousands of taels, but more than two million taels. Do you think the Li family has the ability to raise so many silver taels in a short period of time to frame you?”

King Jin opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He couldn’t tell the truth of the matter, because the salt tax bill was gone now, and the father would think that he was arguing to clear his name. Let King Ling and the Li family find a chance to bite back.

What should I do? What should he do?
