Chapter 822
In this matter, anyway, the Seventh Prince was such a darling, he escaped first, and when he escaped, he hadn't notified himself that he was an older brother, so he could use it to his advantage.

Now, I just insisted that when I escaped, I really had reached the most critical time, and if I didn't escape, I would die. If I think about it, the emperor would not blame him too much for his helpless son in the face of reality. , that is not easy to say.

The Seventh Prince also said pitifully: "Father, I was also deceived by those officials. They told me that the flood would come in a while, and I was afraid that as a prince, I would A mistake, they also have to suffer, so, disregarding Erchen's wishes, they forcibly took Erchen away. At that time, Erchen was in a daze and didn't know what happened! Father, please be careful!"

"What you said sounds good. I have been dizzy and don't know what happened? Then how did you know to go back to the capital? Seventh brother, along the way, no magistrate from Jiangnan sent you to the capital, right? Lies at least It has to be a little tricky! Besides, you and I are brothers, since they are afraid that you, the prince, will make any mistakes, so they take you away, so why are you not afraid of being a prince? Did I miss anything?"

The seventh prince scolded the second prince in his heart, and said: "Second brother is wrong, what do they think, how do I know? I really didn't know what was going on at the beginning. After leaving Jiangnan, they told me what happened, and they also said, second brother, you got the news, you already came back before me!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The second prince blushed angrily. "You get together with the local magistrates all day long, and you are well-informed with them. Except when I first came to Jiangnan and had a meal with them, I never got together with them again. How did you get the news early? It is clear that you colluded with the local officials. When you learned that the flood was coming and the dams were not working, you ignored the lives of the local people and me as an older brother, and ran away alone with those corrupt officials. Me! Lao Qi, won’t your conscience hurt?!”

The fact is, just like what the second prince said, the seventh prince didn't want to take care of the second prince's life. He even wished that the second prince would die in the Jiangnan area.

Having been exposed by others, the Seventh Prince was more or less a little guilty, and angrily denied it again and again.

"That's enough, can't you two treat this place as a vegetable market?" the emperor roared.

"Father, this son has been wronged!"

"Father, this son has been wronged!"

The second prince and the seventh prince shouted together.

The emperor was furious: "You two have been wronged? What is wrong with you two? As an imperial envoy appointed by me, you have left your post without authorization and neglected the people. You two bastards, do you even know your last name? The face of the ancestors is almost lost by you!"

The second prince and the seventh prince dared not speak.

The emperor threw a memorial in front of them fiercely: "You can see for yourself!"

It is a memorial about the situation in the Jiangnan area at the moment. It is clearly written that the flood season in the Jiangnan area is stable, and there is no flood at all.

At this moment, the second prince and the seventh prince couldn't help being stunned.

"It's impossible..." The Seventh Prince couldn't believe it, "I obviously went with the local magistrate, and it's impossible for them to lie to me..."

The second prince was also surprised and couldn't help himself.If there is really nothing going on in the Jiangnan area now, then the two brothers escaped back like this, what is this?

I'm afraid this time even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to wash away my guilt.

For a moment, the second prince and the seventh prince were completely panicked.

"Royal father, this is not true. The banks of the south of the Yangtze River are flooding right now. The local corrupt officials have already got to know their sons and daughters. The dams built before are just some face-saving projects. They can't stand up to anything at all. This memorial is absolutely fake..." The seventh prince tried to convince the emperor of the emotions he described.

The emperor scolded extremely corruptly: "Shut up, you! The facts are already in front of you, and you still refuse to admit it. Do you think that if you don't admit it, you can be exonerated? How could I have given birth to you like this? A stupid son?!"

The seventh prince and the second prince glanced at each other. Now, they are keenly aware of one thing. Now, no matter how much the two brothers disliked each other before, they must unite now.

Because both of them fled back from the Jiangnan area, but now there is no flood in the south of the Yangtze River, then the two of them will get the same guilt.Lose all!
"Father, there must be some kind of conspiracy in this. Both the son and the seventh brother have been deceived. Please find out!" The second prince hurriedly said.

The Seventh Prince also quickly agreed.

However, the emperor didn't want to hear the two of them defending themselves here.

Especially for the Seventh Prince, the emperor has given the Seventh Prince several chances. The previous few times, because the Seventh Prince would not shake his roots, the emperor was willing to be a loving father and chose to keep the Seventh Prince, a stupid son, but now Well, what the Seventh Prince has done has already threatened the royal family and his reputation as the emperor in the eyes of the emperor, so the emperor is no longer willing to keep him.

The same is true for the second prince.

The two imperial envoys for flood control, together with a group of corrupt officials, directly abandoned the common people and fled for their lives when the flood was about to come. What do the common people in the world think?
Now, no matter how much the emperor loves these two sons, he must give them the most severe sentence to stop the mouths of the people in the world.

"Come here, I will lock these two beasts into the sky prison first, and let them go later!" The emperor gave an order.

"Father, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong..." It was the second prince who said this.

"Father, my son was wronged. My son was deceived by them, please forgive me..." It was the Seventh Prince who said this.

However, no matter what the two of them said, this time, the emperor had already made up his mind that he would never let them go easily.

Amidst the yelling, the second prince and the seventh prince were just taken away.

After the main hall quieted down, the emperor began to think about other issues.

For example, how should the fugitive corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River be dealt with...
