Chapter 76 Pleading For Brothers

Mother Zhao quickly supported her, her face changed slightly: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Chu supported the armrest of the rosewood chair, and forced herself to be calm: "I'm fine, I'm just too excited."

The old lady said: "It seems that your complexion is not very good, and you have lost a lot of weight, but you haven't had a good rest?"

Mrs. Chu nodded: "Yes, it's been hot recently, so I don't have much appetite."

After finding a reason, Mrs. Chu went back to her yard, turned away the maids in the house, held onto Mother Zhao's hand tightly and said, "Quick, send someone quickly, and you must get Erlang back. Tell him that something happened to me here." Big deal."

……

Chu Shuo was the Duke Protector's Mansion who returned in the future.

After getting off the horse, he entered the gate, and walked away in stride amidst the respectful voices of all the servants.

Lian Mo could barely keep up with his pace.

Chu Shuo went back to his own yard and found a reason to get Lianmo to step down, and the image of the elegant nobleman fell apart, and he lay limply in the grand master's chair.

His face was ashen, his lips were pale, and his limbs trembled slightly.

He is not reconciled, why did the seamless plan fail?It also implicated the prince's biological mother and his natal family.

At that time, he was secretly discussing with the prince how to make up for the previous failed plan, when he heard the news that the emperor had ordered the search of Mu Enbo's mansion and Concubine Hua had been ordered to die.

At that time, the prince lost half of his soul, and he himself was also with a sharp sword hanging high, his face turned pale with horror.

Later, the prince was called away by someone sent by the emperor.

It was his good elder brother who came to invite the prince himself.

Chu Shuo was panting heavily, he still remembered the eyes of his elder brother, it was so cold and lifeless, like a beast without emotion.Before leaving, he gave himself an emotionless glance.

Chu Shuo's whole body was cold, and his hands and feet felt cold.

The prince was taken away by Chu Rui himself, I am afraid that it will not end well.

And he, the dog leg next to the prince, probably won't end well either.

However, soon, Chu Shuo calmed down again.

Conspiracy is a capital crime for Zhu Jiu Clan. He is the second son of the Duke Huguo's Mansion. If treason is really involved, the entire Duke Huguo Mansion will be implicated.Thinking about his good brother, he probably wouldn't leave him alone.

For the sake of the entire Chu family, maybe he has to excuse his crime or conceal it.

But when he comes back, he will definitely clean up himself severely.

But Chu Shuo was not afraid.As long as there is a mother, it is not the elder brother's turn to teach him a lesson.

Thinking about this, Chu Shuo regained his composure, asked someone to come in to help him wash his hands, redressed himself, and went to Mrs. Chu's yard.

Chu Shuo reappeared in front of people, wearing a gorgeous brocade suit, a purple gold jade crown that symbolizes status, a ruby-studded jade belt around his waist, a lustrous gown made of suet jade, and even the jade fingers on his wrists are bright and noble. .

All the maids and servants who passed by took a peek and exclaimed in a low voice: "Our second master is getting more and more handsome."

……

"Erlang, are you alright?" Seeing her son coming in, Mrs. Chu rushed over and looked Chu Shuo up and down. She was dressed in brocade clothes, which set off her nobleness and elegance, and Mrs. Chu felt relieved a little.

"Mother, I'm sorry to make you worry." Chu Shuo said softly, "Brother said just now that he wants to punish me."

"What did he do to you?" Mrs. Chu raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "He dares!"

Chu Shuo sighed: "My mother loves her son so much that I have already made my elder brother dissatisfied. This time I was implicated by the prince, and my elder brother will definitely take this opportunity to deal with me."

Mrs. Chu said: "Tell me quickly, what's the matter with the prince?"

Chu Shuo was silent for a while, and said, "I guess, it's not very good."

Madam Chu's face turned pale, and she quickly grabbed her son's sleeve: "Will that implicate you?"

"It depends on the mood of the eldest brother." Chu Shuo said with a wry smile.

Madam Chu's complexion changed several times, and she was thinking about the battle between heaven and man.

……

At night, the emperor's thunderous wrath continued.

The crown prince, who had been established as the crown prince for nine years, was actually arrested by the emperor and sent to prison. Even the crown prince's two sons and two daughters, including the crown prince, side concubine, and more than a hundred people in the East Palace, were all in one pot.

The prince was abolished because of treason!
Some courtiers also entered the palace overnight to ask to see the emperor.

The prince is the crown prince, and the crown prince is abolished, and the foundation of the country is shaken.The bloody battle for the heir apparent will turn the court into a cloud of smoke and blood will flow like rivers.

The emperor has only King Shou and the crown prince under his knees. If the crown prince is abolished, the emperor has no sons under his knees, so he has to adopt from the clan. At that time, the entire clan will be caught in bloody competition again.

This is what courtiers do not want to see.

If the crown prince conspires against him, he should die.

But you can train the grandson of the emperor.

The prince was originally mediocre, and he committed the crime of treason, so he deserved to die.

But the grandson of the emperor can still be cultivated.

However, these courtiers who worried about the country and the people hurried out of the palace not long after entering the palace, and kept silent about the deposed prince, not even a word of pleading for the emperor's eldest grandson.

……

After disposing of the prince, the emperor was in a bad mood, but it was not enough to anger the people around him, it was just kicking a little cockroach away.

For Chu Rui who has made a great contribution this time, it is still a reward for merit.

But Chu Rui knelt down and asked the emperor to forgive him.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's wrong with Mount Heng?"

Chu Rui seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth, but in the end he kowtowed to the emperor and said, "This time the prince conspired against him, and the prince's aides also participated in it."

The emperor said: "I know. Tomorrow Chuqing will take people to ransack the house and arrest people." Among these people, four are noble families in the capital, and it just so happens that he is extremely disgusted with these deeply rooted and evil families. , Taking the opportunity to ransack the family and exterminate the family, it can also fill the treasury and save money.

Chu Rui raised his head and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, my second younger brother...was also involved." Then he lowered his head in pain.

The emperor laughed instead. He had known for a long time that the prince was plotting rebellion, and Chu Shuo was also involved, but he kept silent and watched how Chu Rui would deal with this matter.

"Involving treason, according to the law, the family must be ransacked and exterminated." The emperor's voice could not hear the joy or anger.

Chu Rui's forehead touched the ground: "Please learn from the emperor. The Chu family is loyal to the court and has never had a second heart. The second brother did such a rebellious thing, which is also the reason why the minister is negligent in discipline. The minister does not defend the second brother, but only asks the emperor For the sake of the loyalty of the Chu family, spare the lives of hundreds of people in the Chu family."

The emperor asked the eunuch beside him: "Yang Hai, what do you think?"

Yang Hai said: "In my opinion, I can't blame Chu Shizi for this. An eldest son who is not loved by his mother has inherited the position of the eldest son. A second son who is favored by his mother has no chance of being the eldest son. I won’t be reconciled. Chu Shizi has been working by the emperor’s side all the time, and he’s been so busy these days. The previous son was sick and insisted on working as an errand. But this second son of Chu, no one in the capital knows that Mrs. Chu loves the second son of Chu ? This child who is favored by his parents has somewhat unrealistic ambitions."

Of course the emperor knew this, but he sympathized with Chu Rui.
