Chapter 12: The Big Taboo of Being a Prince

As the emperor, you should give you a sense of being able to look up to the mountains, but at this time, the expression of Emperor Yang Jian was very complicated. He stared at his minister Gao Yang, who was angry and angry, as if he was saying: When I was young, I chatted with you on the same bed, and two of them were in the same bed, but now you are involved with the prince, and you have changed.

Gao Yong didn't know His Majesty's mood, so he took the confession from his left sleeve and held it up with both hands.

An internal official stepped forward to take the confession and handed it over to Du Ankang, and then presented it to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian put away his expression and immediately opened his confession. After looking carefully, he frowned and angrily slapped the dragon throne and shouted: "It's outrageous! What a good Wang Jingjiang, who actually grabbed the captain of Zuo Beisen Mansion, and colluded with eunuch Cao Jinxing to assassinate the prince! Before the prince was deposed, he dared to commit crimes. He was so ruthless?"

Several officials present were shocked. Shangshu Ling Yuexishan hurriedly stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think this is true?"

Yang Jian handed the confession to Du Ankang, signaled him to present it to Yuexishan, and then asked Gao Yang: "Gao Yang, is the content of the confession true?"

Gao Bing said truthfully: "The humble position is the minister of Dali Temple, responsible for reviewing the world's criminal prisons. If there is no sufficient evidence, how dare you frame the officials of the imperial court? Wang Cang has confessed and is willing to accuse Wang Jingjiang. As the Minister of War, Wang Jingjiang has a high position and a powerful position, but he is ashamed of his love for His Majesty and has committed a great and unruly act. He begs His Majesty to punish him severely and will never tolerate him."

When Yang Jian heard this, he nodded.

After reading the confession, the Secretary Ling Yuexishan passed on it and transferred it to others, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gao personally interrogated it, and expected that the testimony was true. However, Wang Jingjiang was an important official in the court, and it might be a bit weak to rely on confession alone. According to the opinions of the humble minister, it is better to deal with the major matters to discuss today. As for the case of Wang Jingjiang, the three departments will be held to try it out later, and then the decision will be made."

As the Minister of War, Wang Jingjiang's immediate superior was Yuexishan, so he naturally had to help him. At the same time, he also reminded His Majesty that today's discussion was to depose the crown prince.

Yang Jian nodded again, then looked at Gao Yang and asked, "Yue Aiqing said it is reasonable. Today I convened a court discussion to discuss the deposing of the crown prince. Gao Yang, do you think that by taking out evidence of Gao Jingjiang's plot to assassinate the crown prince can prevent the crown prince from being deposed? Wang Jingjiang's crime and the crown prince's crime are different."

Gao Feng bowed and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I just exposed Wang Jingjiang's evil deeds, and did not stop Your Majesty from deposing the crown prince! Your Majesty has thought too much."

Yang Jian opened his mouth and was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Very good! If it's okay, get out of here." Yang Jian waved his hand, and was so annoyed by Gao Yang.

Unexpectedly, Gao Bing took out another memorial from his right sleeve and said again: "Your Majesty, I still have important things to report!"

Yang Jian subconsciously touched his side, where is my knife?

Du Ankang, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, went down to receive the memorial himself, for fear that His Majesty would be furious.

Yang Shuang knelt quietly on His Highness, laughing in her heart, Gao Feng was a real dog, and her character was also intoxicating. If His Majesty hadn't understood him, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the court.

"I want to see what else can you report!" Yang Jian snatched the memorial.

After opening the memorial to browse, Yang Jian's face changed drastically.

"Bang!"

The memorial was suddenly closed by him, and then he actually stood up and asked coldly: "Is this true?"

Gao Feng still had a proud expression and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, there is someone to prove it. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Wang Jingjiang in person!"

"King Xuan Jingjiang! And King Qin!" Yang Jian's face was slightly darker and he immediately ordered.

Du Ankang quickly sent someone to communicate.

The important officials in the palace looked at each other, what happened?

Is this guy Gao Yang starting to make trouble again?

However, Yang Jian had no intention of saying anything, but weighed the memorial and looked at Yang Shuang and Zhuge Nantian.

"Gao Yong, how did you learn about the memorial?" Yang Jian asked.

Gao Bing said truthfully: "Report to Your Majesty, it was the Duke of Ming Dynasty who told me, and I personally investigated it to ensure that it was correct and dared to report to Your Majesty."

Yang Jian looked at Zhuge Nantian and asked: "Duke Ming, how did you know? I am very curious."

"Report to Your Majesty, I found out by chance." Zhuge Nantian naturally could not say that it was Yang Shuang's idea.

However, his answer did not satisfy Yang Jian.

As the planner, Yang Shuang knelt down honestly, not caring about His Majesty's scrutiny, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This time, the mystery of the identity of Concubine Wan was exposed. Even if Yang Shuang successfully saved herself, she would be hurt.

Your Majesty is not stupid. The prince is clearly imprisoned in the Eastern Palace and ordered anyone to contact him, but he can still contact others to prove his innocence. What does this mean?

For the emperor, what he is most sensitive to is not how virtuous the prince is, but that he is not under his control.

The great achievements are beyond the lord, the prince is strong and the king is weak, these are all taboos.

Not every emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang. When he heard that his son had rebelled, he was not angry but happily sent troops to support him.

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for a long time, Wang Jingjiang and Qin Wang Yang Jun hurried into the hall.

The two thought that the matter of deposing the crown prince had been decided, but they did not expect to summon them, especially when their nephew and uncle met, they were even more confused.

"I am a friend of mine (son) to pay homage to Your Majesty!" the two bowed their hands and said.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Jingjiang and asked coldly: "Wang Jingjiang, I ask you, do you know Ding Wanquan?"

Wang Jingjiang immediately gritted his teeth and subconsciously wanted to deny it. However, after being in the officialdom for so many years, he understood the particularity of speaking, so he replied: "Report to Your Majesty, this name sounds very familiar, you should know it, Rong Weichen thought about it."

He pretended to think, but in fact he was a little panicked. Why did His Majesty mention him?

After a moment of pause, Wang Jingjiang said, "I remembered that when I was appointed as the governor of Pinglu, Ding Wanquan was the general Yingyanglang under Weichen, and he had not seen him for many years."

Yang Jian nodded and asked again: "Since you can remember Ding Wanquan, I will ask you again, why did Ding Wanquan resign at that time?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems to be related to a foreign woman. The specific situation is long and I really can't remember it." Wang Jingjiang said respectfully.

He felt bad premonition in his heart.

At this moment, Yang Jian threw the memorial in his hand and smashed it at Wang Jingjiang, and said angrily: "Can't remember it? Then take a look at the contents of the memorial! Your deputy general remembers Ding Wanquan, you personally removed him from his position, but you didn't remember him!"

Wang Jingjiang quickly picked up the memorial, opened it and browsed, and sweat began to emerge.

The identity of Concubine Wan was indeed revealed.

But fortunately, even if the palace maid and colleagues of that year testify to prove the identity of the nobleman Wan, it cannot be proved that he threatened the prince who made him frame him.

"Your Majesty, I remembered it, I remembered it. Ding Wanquan did have a daughter with a Khitan woman back then, but I never expected that this woman would be the nobleman Wan!" Wang Jingjiang said quickly.

Yang Jian shouted angrily again: "Gao Yong, let him see another memorial!"

Gao Yong immediately gave him the memorial.

Wang Jingjiang cursed secretly and was doing something, so he took the preview. After seeing this, the sweat on his forehead completely flowed out.

"I am wronged, I am wronged!" Wang Jingjiang knelt down and kowtowed, shirking away the suspicion.

But, do you really think the suspicion is so easy to get rid of?

With Wang Cang's suggestion, as long as the Wang family is captured, it can be proved that Wang Jingjiang sent someone to capture Han Qinhu's family to force Han Qinhu to assassinate the prince.

The two evidences support each other, and Wang Jingjiang has no room for maneuver.

Yang Jian looked at King Yang Jun of Qin and asked, "King of Qin, do you know what King Jingjiang has done?"

At this time, the King of Qin Yang Jun was so rude that he was also very calm and said quickly: "Father, my son is not aware of it at all. Please be careful and do not listen to some people's slander and falsely accusing the court of loyalty and kindness."
