The eighth prince is ambitious, this is a well-known thing, and for the golden throne, the eighth prince has made a lot of efforts over the years.It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the eighth prince even sacrificed the Western Liang Kingdom for his own selfishness, and promised to give so many cities to others."
Your Majesty, now the evidence is conclusive, this is a letter written by the Eighth Prince, and he can't escape this time!""
What if the eighth prince refuses to admit it, saying that he didn't write it?"
Xie Jinghuai's cold eyes swept towards Prime Minister Liu on the side.Prime Minister Liu Cheng said indignantly: "How can you not admit this, this letter is written by him, this is his handwriting." ”"Can't anyone imitate handwriting?"
Xie Jinghuai asked rhetorically again.Prime Minister Liu Cheng was speechless for a moment, frowning and not knowing how to turn back, Xie Jinghuai was right, there are no longer a few cases of planting false accusations since ancient times, and Prime Minister Liu has heard a lot of cases that imitate handwriting, so it is not impossible for the eighth prince to use this as an excuse.Prime Minister Liu paused, then saw the seal at the end of the letter, and said: "This trace can be faked, but this seal is real, he can't say that this seal is also fake." ”"It's not fake, but what if it's stolen?"
Xie Jinghuai lightly opened his thin lips and said lightly."
How can there be such a coincidence in this world!"
Liu Cheng is quite immediate.As a bystander, Xie Jinghuai looks at these things more rationally and clearly, unlike Prime Minister Liu, who only wants to bring down the eighth prince.He was wearing a dark blue robe, standing with his hands in his hands, even if he stood next to the emperor, he did not lose his momentum at all."
The eighth prince insisted that this trace was forged and the seal was stolen, how could he be convicted?
He is a prince, and if there is no solid evidence, I am afraid that it will not be easy to do. ”Xie Jinghuai kindly reminded.As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the imperial study, and the emperor and Prime Minister Liu Cheng knew very well that what Xie Jinghuai said made sense.The position of the eighth prince is consolidated, and there are many ministers in the court who follow him, if there is no solid evidence, I am afraid that even if the decree is convicted, those individuals will make a big fuss.Thinking of those ministers and the eighth prince, the emperor felt irritable in his heart.As an emperor, others only see the glamorous and beautiful, but no one can understand his worries and sorrows, and sitting in this position, he can't do anything.For example, now, he is bent on getting rid of the Eighth Prince, but because of various factors, the Eighth Prince's arrogance has been so far.Gu Qian has been by Xie Jinghuai's side for a long time, and he also knows that some things cannot be solved by force."
Then the hard-won evidence, that's it?"
Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who has always been calm, is a little unwilling.After fighting wits and courage with the Eighth Prince for so many years, the Eighth Prince wanted to get rid of Prime Minister Liu, and Prime Minister Liu wanted to get rid of the Eighth Prince, and now the evidence that was finally obtained cannot be convicted of the Eighth Prince, and the Prime Minister has some anger in his heart."
Since you can't defeat him completely, you can only give up."
Even the emperor sighed."
But if it goes on like this, let's ......"
A hint of worry appeared between Prime Minister Liu's eyebrows.Xie Jinghuai sat aside and leaned back in his chair: "This king is more anxious than the prime minister, but there are some things that can't be rushed." ”Prime Minister Liu sighed, and then lowered his head."
Let's wait, the eighth prince is even more anxious than you, this letter is not any evidence now, if the eighth prince really forced the palace to rebel that day, it is real evidence."
Xie Jinghuai pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows."
How can you really rebel, then won't the emperor be in danger!"
Liu Cheng said excitedly.Gu Qianteng stood up suddenly, then stood in front of everyone and patted his chest and said, "Isn't this me and my husband, my husband and I will naturally protect the emperor." ”"Princess Rui, even though you and Lord Rui are strong in martial arts, there are only two of them, and the Eighth Prince also has military power under him."
Gu Qian said again: "What are you afraid of, doesn't General Meng also have military power under his hands?"
”"The eighth prince is just a prince, he won't have a lot of military power in his hands, if this king guesses well, the eighth prince will only have 50,000 at most."
Xie Jinghuai rationally analyzed the situation."
Lord Rui's guess is right, there are indeed only 50,000 people under the hands of the eighth prince, Lord Rui also saw this letter just now, if we are willing to agree to send troops when we leave the country, we will suffer from the enemy."
Prime Minister Liu Cheng was worried.Xie Jinghuai's index finger tapped lightly on the table: "No, leaving the country will not help with this." ”"Why?"
Several people said in unison, I don't understand why Xie Jinghuai is so sure that he will not agree to help when he leaves the country, the conditions offered by the eighth prince are a full ten cities, which is equivalent to half of the Xiliang Kingdom, what a temptation."
This king has some friendship with the departing emperor, if he informs the departing emperor, he must sell his favor to this king."
Xie Jinghuai's sexy thin lips opened lightly and said lightly.Prime Minister Liu Cheng was a little unconvinced: "Lord Rui, the conditions given by the Eighth Prince are ten cities, and the Emperor will really ......"
Prime Minister Liu Cheng looked at Xie Jinghuai questioningly, not that he didn't want to believe Xie Jinghuai, but the conditions offered by the Eighth Prince were so tempting, if it was just an ordinary friendship, how could the Emperor be willing to give up such good conditions?"
The prime minister doesn't have to worry about this, the matter of leaving the country is left to this king."
Xie Jinghuai's expression was indifferent, but his cold face was full of confidence.Gu Qian also said: "Prime Minister Liu, you just believe in your husband, your husband will do it if he says it's okay." ”"Your Majesty, if you believe in this king, don't take this letter to heart."
Xie Jinghuai raised the letter in his hand and looked at the emperor sitting on the throne.The emperor looked at Xie Jinghuai and did not answer immediately, but paused for a while before the emperor said in that calm tone: "Okay, I believe in you!"
”"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!"
The emperor looked at Xie Jinghuai and said this.Xie Jinghuai responded when he heard the emperor's words: "This king will repair the book to the departing emperor now." ”Since the emperor trusted him so much, he couldn't let the emperor down, so Xie Jinghuai said to the emperor and left with Xie Jinghuai.Only the emperor and Prime Minister Liu Cheng were left in the imperial study, there was no one else, Xie Jinghuai and Gu Qian had also left, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng asked: "Your Majesty, do you believe that Prince Rui can really persuade the emperor to leave the country?"
”"I believe in worry-free, and I believe in him."
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Liu Cheng and replied."
Lord Rui is resourceful, and he should really be able to convince the emperor to leave the country."
Prime Minister Liu Cheng was a little hesitant, but thinking about Xie Jinghuai's ability, he also felt that it was not an impossible thing.The emperor said well, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.()
