The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 268 Collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, please establish a prince

In the study room, the atmosphere was so heavy that one hardly dared to breathe. The royal princes, military ministers, six ministers, and all civil and military officials of the third rank or above, who knelt on the ground, played together. Kneeling here to ask the emperor to deal with the current Eighth Prince!

Once the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is convicted, everyone in the Eighth Prince's House will be punished, and the Eighth Prince will also be sentenced to death!
"Your Majesty, the eunuch Xiao Chuzi is Duan Jinchu, the righteous daughter of Feng Nantian, the chief rudder of the Tianying Society. That day, some common people saw Xiao Chuzi ride a ride with the rebels from the Tianying Society, and implored the emperor to wipe out the harm for the country and society!"

"Your Majesty, right now the chaos is rampant and the country is at stake. It's all due to the collusion between the Eighth Prince and Xiao Chuzi. I hope the Emperor will make a decision soon!"

"emperor……"

"Cough cough!"

Two heavy coughs interrupted another minister's request. Chu Muyuan leaned on the dragon chair, his face flushed from coughing, and his body was extremely weak. Water, wipe the handkerchief, looking anxious and dignified.

"Take care, Your Majesty!" All the ministers kowtowed hurriedly.

When Chu Muyuan's condition abated and his cough gradually subsided, a minister said: "Your Majesty, in this eventful autumn, I hope that the Emperor will establish a prince as soon as possible, so that the society and the people will be safe!"

"Prince Li..." Chu Muyuan lowered his head, slowly repeated these three words, then raised his head, his sharp eyes swept down like arrows, and said in a vigorous voice: "You think I'm about to die, so I'm going to die soon. Are you in a hurry to let me establish a crown prince? Or do you want the new crown prince to ascend the throne and force me to abdicate!"

"The emperor calm down! I dare not! I have no such intention!" All the officials kowtowed again and bowed their heads deeply.

Hearing this, Chu Muyuan gradually calmed down, "Then tell me, which prince do you want to support as the crown prince? Let me think about it."

"Your Majesty, looking at the several adult princes, King Jing Jing is still reserved and stable. He is the best candidate for the prince. I recommend him!"

"Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Li's words and recommend King Jing Jing as the crown prince!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others belong to King An Jing!"

The two ministers took the lead, and then followed suit. Only Prince Su and Prince Cheng remained silent, another person, Chu Yunxuan, frowned and pursed his lips tightly, and another person was Prime Minister Xu , remained silent.

"Snapped!"

"Zhen, what we need now is not a prince, but someone who can protect me!" Chu Muyuan suddenly slapped the imperial table with force, staring at the official hats below, his veins bulging, "As for the crown prince, no one can discuss it again today! I know the candidate for the crown prince, and I will make a crown prince for me in a hundred years!"

"emperor--"

Chu Muyuan stood up, "The most urgent task now is to put down the chaos! I have decided that the imperial conquest will be carried out personally, and the affairs of the court will be temporarily handled by King Anping, and King Anping and King Anxuan will follow me to the front line! Prime Minister Xu, plan immediately. The decree, the three armies, I swear to my Tiansu soldiers to live and die together, not to destroy the rebels, and swear not to return to Beijing!"

Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked and immediately said: "Think twice, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, how can he drive himself to conquer? What if something goes wrong—"

"I have made up my mind, you can't say anything more!" Chu Muyuan interrupted again, with a firm expression on his face, and said fiercely: "I will pass on my order again, and order Fang Yuxian, Marshal of Xiliang Pass, to mobilize [-] troops. When the order arrives, Immediately send troops to meet Zhen and Luo Ying in Fenyang! I don't believe that Yinghui will be an impenetrable fortress that day, invincible!"

"The emperor can't do it!"

"The emperor's personal conquest is the most important thing. Most of the rebels are from the Jianghu, with high martial arts..."

"Snapped!"

There was another loud noise, and all the ministers were shocked to shut their mouths. Chu Muyuan said sharply, "Whoever dares to object again, I will kill you!"

"I will obey your orders!"

The trembling foreheads of all the ministers were almost stuck to the ground, and no one dared to say a word.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Standing up, someone repeated the old saying, "Your Majesty, how to decide on the matter of the Eighth Prince? At least the Eighth Prince must be brought back to the capital for trial!"

"You said that Xiao Chuzi's son disguised himself as a man and entered the palace as a fake eunuch. How can you prove that the charred corpse that was burned to death in the respect room was someone else, and Xiao Chuzi had escaped from the palace and mixed with the Eighth Prince? Did you witness it with your own eyes? Where is this witness?" Chu Muyuan said coldly.

"Father, my son thinks that you can dig the grave of Xiao Chuzi, dig out the scorched corpse, and order him to inspect it carefully. Although it has been buried for nearly two months, it should still be possible to determine whether it is male or female and whether it has roots. On the night of the fire in the worship room, Li Quanshui, the eunuch in charge, also disappeared at the same time. My servant suspects that the charred corpse is Li Quanshui. I went to work for the Tianying Association!" Chu Yunli bowed and said in a calm voice.

"Really?" Chu Muyuan looked coldly at Chu Yunli, slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and said lightly, "Yunli, you know that the Eighth Prince Chu Yunhe is my own son and your own brother, if he He is really collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I will not forgive him lightly! But if it is found out that he was wronged, and you co-sign the minister to write a letter, you have ulterior motives, and it is an unforgivable crime to put your own brother to death!"

"Father calm down!"

Chu Yunli was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head and said, "My minister did not form a party for personal gain, and jointly framed the eighth younger brother. My minister only found out that Xiao Chuzi was a fake eunuch because the court had been unable to attack the rebels for a long time. , and the eighth brother has always been close to Xiao Chuzi, even to the point of life and death, so it makes people suspicious!"

"Reporting to Father, I remember that when the admiral's mansion caught Lao Xinghutong Tianyinghui's rebellion that day, it was an order sent by the eighth brother to spread the word. If the eighth brother really colluded with Tianyinghui, how could he do this? "Chu Yunxuan frowned deeply, glanced at Chu Yunli lightly, cupped his hands and said, "My son thinks that the eighth brother is still the eighth prince now, and it's not appropriate to arrest him. It's better to ask the eighth prince to return to the capital and confront him in court." , find out the truth!"

"Well, King Anxuan's words are right!" Chu Muyuan nodded, his eyes fell on Chu Yunli's face again, and his tone became colder again, "King Anxuan, do you know where Luo Ying's money for the frontline war came from?"

Chu Yunli raised her head slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Go back to father, I don't know!"

Chu Muyuan said: "This 20 taels of food and grass was given by the Eighth Prince! Boss Mu Tianqingmu handed it over to the Eighth Prince, and then the Eighth Prince handed it over to me to help the court fight. If the Eighth Prince He is collaborating with the Tianying Society, so why should he hand over this considerable amount of money to me instead of the Tianying Society?"

"This--"

All the ministers sighed for a while, they couldn't believe it, but Chu Yunlan frowned tightly, glanced at Chu Yunli from the corner of his eye, and saw that his face was still expressionless, and he just lowered his head and said: "Father, the emperor's lesson! This minister is just thinking about the country, and has no other intentions!"
