There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 186
"If there is anything, we can't talk about it later!" Emperor Jing Yuan was obviously a little impatient.

It's so easy for all the officials to return to their hearts and enjoy themselves, why does this fourth child keep making troubles.

"Your majesty!" The queen smiled at the emperor.

"Yan'er hasn't come back for a long time, presumably there is something to report, and it's not bad, just let him talk about it!"

Seeing that the queen had explained everything for him, Emperor Jing Yuan could only wave his hands: "Say something quickly!"

"Father, when General Tang was on the front line, rebels appeared in the camp at the rear, attracting barbarian soldiers and almost burning our food and grass!"

"If the sons hadn't worked hard for each other, I'm afraid the [-] stones of food and grass would have been destroyed!"

Xia Houyan looked at Xia Houjue with burning eyes.

"Third brother, you have been in charge of this camp in the rear all the time, and I want to know the truth about that night?"

"Why do the enemy soldiers know the location of our granary? Is there a traitor collaborating with the enemy? Should you report this to the emperor?"

The whole barracks knew what happened that night, and everyone couldn't be blamed.

His people are wearing masks, so it is impossible to be recognized. As long as they bite to death and refuse to admit it, the blame will be firmly placed on Xia Houjue's head.

Hehe, he said it all.

As long as there is Xia Houyan, Xia Houjue will have to shed his skin even if he does not die.

"Yes!" The queen stared at Xia Houjue with burning eyes.

"Prince, is what Prince Chen said true? Why didn't you report such a big matter to your father?"

Emperor Jing Yuan also looked at Xia Houjue suspiciously, with the obvious meaning of asking him to explain.

Xia Houjue picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly, his eyes were full of haze and coldness.

Look, this is his good father, good brother, good mother, all of them are really good!
Since Xia Houyan is really heartless, why is he being polite?Collaboration with the enemy and treason?Then it depends on who it is.

"Father!" Xia Houjue put down his wine glass, stood up respectfully and saluted.

"There are indeed traitors collaborating with the enemy and treason in the barracks, and my son is still guilty of covering up, so I ask my father to punish me!"

"You!" Emperor Jing Yuan's face turned livid.

"Have you found out the matter? Who is the traitor? Have you caught him yet?"

"No, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a major case. My son dare not preside over it, so I ask the emperor to decide it himself! The only thing my son can do is to bring you witnesses back..."

"Witness?" Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Since it has been brought to Beijing, I want to try this big case myself. Come, bring witnesses!" Emperor Jing Yuan was almost furious, the veins on his forehead were very abrupt, lying on his forehead like twisted centipedes.

Isn't the Great Xia Dynasty prosperous enough?Also colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.

To do such a mediocre thing, you must punish the nine clans, and you must tell the world that he will be infamous for thousands of years.

"Father..." Xia Houjue hesitated, and reminded him kindly.

However, Emperor Jingyuan mistook it as an intercession, and he waved his hand, "You don't need to say more, if it's really your subordinate, I won't implicate you for the time being!"

Xia Houjue: "..." Involve him?Not yet?hehe!
Forget it, everything that should be done has been done, some people just want to die, and he can't stop them.

Witness Tulu was quickly brought up.

During the torture all the way to Beijing, he lost a lot of weight, and his face did not have the pride and pride that was unique to him when he first met him, only the oppression and frustration of being defeated.

When Wu Huada was leading him into the main hall, he raised his head in a daze, and saw the princes sitting under the emperor's hands at a glance. He immediately jumped into a rage and cursed like blood in his eyes.

"Which one is Prince Chen?"

"You bastard, you don't keep your word, you lie to me, you are despicable and shameless!"

There was an instant uproar in the hall.

The gazes of the ministers, the emperor's relatives, and even the court ladies and eunuchs all pointed to Xia Houyan beside Xia Houjue.

Everyone held their breaths, their hearts were beating like drums, and their faces were pale with fright. Only Xia Houjue was still sitting there, pouring tea and drinking slowly, as if all voices were blocked.

"So you are the King Chen!"

Tulu's bloodshot eyes were as big as eggs. If he hadn't been bound by shackles, he would have stepped forward to tear Xia Houyan to pieces immediately.

"Presumptuous!" The queen was furious.

"You're just a defeated general. It's okay to see our Great Xia Emperor not being polite. You dare to curse at King Chen loudly. Damn you, Your Majesty, why not..."

The queen was extremely anxious.She didn't know what happened on the front line, but her intuition told him that it wasn't a good thing?
How did the good-natured Yan'er get involved with these savages? It's really nonsense.

"The queen doesn't need to talk too much, let him talk!" Emperor Jing Yuan sneered.

"You tell the ins and outs of the matter, if you can confess to the traitor, how about I spare your life?"

"Is this what you said?!" Tulu was tempted instantly.

They were born in the grasslands, and they have never read any books on sages, and they don't know what to kill or not to humiliate. They only know that as long as they can survive, there is still a chance for revenge.

"His Royal Highness Chen Wang of the Great Xia Dynasty sent me messages several times. The first time he sent his subordinates to tell me the location of the food and grass, and let me go for a sneak attack! The second time, he told me the attack plan of the Great Xia Dynasty, and asked me to set up an ambush !” He said simply.

"But..." Tulu just wanted to scold the king of Chen, you are not a good mother, why did you have to set up heavy guards when you handed out the news, which made him never please him.

Thinking about it later, this can't be a trap, right? ?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed all the way to Beijing, swearing in his heart that if he could see this man, he would definitely skin him with his own hands.

Unfortunately, before the words were finished, the hall erupted.

The royal family members are full of civil and military affairs, and their eyes are like sharp arrows, shooting straight at Xia Houyan.

If eyes could kill, let alone Xia Houyan's death, even Xia Houjue and his wife who were sitting by the side would be covered in blood and suffer some injuries.

"Prince Chen plotting rebellion?"

"His Royal Highness Chen is collaborating with the enemy and treason..."

"I didn't expect that as a prince, I would do such a thing..."

"Tsk tsk! Even if he wants to frame the prince and disagree with the prince, he shouldn't do such a stupid thing!"

"That's right!"

There are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with the queen mother and child, but they usually dare not speak out.

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is the descendant of the emperor's original consort, Empress Jing Min, with a noble status, while he, the Prince Chen, is only born of a successor, and his status is completely different.

But this mother and son are still restless, secretly doing all kinds of small tricks, and in the first few years they even covered it up, but in recent years they didn't even bother to cover it up, and pointed their swords directly at the East Palace, everyone knew Sima Zhao's heart.

"emperor!"

Several old clan members who were originally married to princelings stood up and said jointly.

"His Royal Highness Chen has committed such a shameful thing, and it is already clear, please the emperor quickly convict, and comfort those loyal souls who sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield!"

"Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly, and give justice to the people of the world and General Tang!"

"Your Majesty! Please also investigate this matter thoroughly!!"
