Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 84

Jun Hua accompanied Wei Chongrong to read the letter, and his expression became strange when he saw it, and he blurted out: “Brother Rong, is there something wrong? How could it be the third prince? How could he have this ability? “

If Wei Mao heard Jun Hua’s words, he would be grateful for his trust in him or dissatisfied with his low opinion of him.

Wei Chongrong let out a long sigh and couldn’t help sighing: “One stone kills two birds, Wei Lan’s abacus is very good.”

Wei Ming only had three sons. Wei Lan borrowed a knife to kill his elder brother and younger brother. Who else could he be if the crown prince was not his.

Jun Hua frowned and thought for a while, and said puzzled, “Will Your Majesty believe the King Qin’s finding out such a result?”

“Why don’t you believe it?” Wei Chongrong put down the letter, tapped his finger on the desk twice, and said slowly, “Although the royal uncle said that my father is fully responsible for this matter, I believe that he most likely still In addition, someone was sent to secretly pay attention to this matter. It is impossible for my father to say what he said. Like me, the most suspicious person is Wei Lan. It must be verified repeatedly when the third brother is found. I will try to help him clear his name, but the final result is still the same, which can only show two possibilities.”

“Which two possibilities?” Jun Hua asked curiously, still somewhat unable to accept this fact.

Wei Chongrong said slowly: “One is that Wei Lan’s methods are too superb, and the blame is perfect; the other is that the third brother pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but unfortunately the method is not neat enough and misses the point. That’s why my father Wang checked and checked. , all found on his head.”

Hearing Wei Chongrong’s statement, Jun Hua sighed: “Fortunately, His Majesty has only three sons, if there are more, the situation will be more complicated. If the third prince is convicted of murdering the prince, how will he be dealt with? Woolen cloth?”

“Murdering a prince of a country should be a capital crime.” Wei Chongrong’s tone was very serious, “Father King Heping County King pleaded with the third brother, but the uncle of the emperor’s attitude is unclear, and temporarily imprisoned the third brother in Zongzheng Temple, without specifying the details. treatment.”

“The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and Your Majesty must be in a dilemma.” Junhua couldn’t imagine the emperor’s mood at the moment.

Wei Chongrong frowned and said: “If the third brother is really a murderer, His Majesty will be embarrassed again, and the order to subdue him is also to avenge the prince’s brother, but if he is not, it would be terrible to kill the wrong…” Until now, Wei Chongrong frowned. Chongrong believed in Wei Mao.

Jun Hua thought for a while and asked, “Brother Rong, can King Qin tell His Majesty his suspicions about Wei Lan?”

Wei Chongrong shook his head and said solemnly: “My father and the king cannot say this. He has already found out that the third brother was the instigator of the murder of the prince’s brother. No matter how much he suspects Wei Lan, there is still a problem, the royal uncle’s side. , it is easy to produce some bad associations.”

Jun Hua was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized. The emperor has only three sons, and the eldest son is dead. If the second son and the youngest son are suspected of killing their elder brother, what will happen to the next heir? Wei Ming cannot believe such a statement unless he finds new evidence.

As Jun Hua thought, how to deal with Wei Mao, Wei Ming is very embarrassed. He is the youngest son he loved the most since childhood. Although his temperament is a little reckless, he can be impulsive when he does things occasionally, but in his mind, Wei Mao has always been He is a good boy with a pure heart.

Even with the overwhelming evidence, Wei Ming couldn’t convince himself that his younger son would be the murderer of his eldest son.

However, the evidence presented by Wei Zhao was the same, and the results of the investigation he secretly sent were the same.

Many people are begging for Wei Mao, for different reasons, some say he is young and ignorant, instigated by others, and some say he does not take advantage of power and is framed by others…

But these are not enough for Wei Ming to exonerate Wei Mao. He wants to prove that his son is innocent.

Jun Feili did not say a word from the beginning to the end, maintaining a silent attitude. What can he say? It was his son who died, and he was suspected of being the real murderer behind the scenes. He was also his son. He couldn’t say anything and could only silently wait for Wei Ming to make a decision.

On the other hand, Wei Zhao, after begging Wei Ming once and failing, entered the palace again within two days.

“Azhao, have you found any new evidence?” The person who testified against Wei Mao was Wei Zhao, but the person who believed him most was also Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao slowly shook his head, cupped his hands, and said, “Brother Huang, there is something I have to say.”

Wei Ming smiled wistfully, his smile was pale and tired: “If that’s the case, you can say it.”

“I don’t know how the emperor intends to deal with King Xiang, but I want to remind the emperor that the facts we see now may not be the real facts. In order to avoid regrets in the future, the emperor is dealing with King Xiang’s actions. When the time comes, be merciful.”

After digging three feet into the ground, he couldn’t find any evidence against Wei Lan. Wei Zhao didn’t think about it, but Wei Mao did it. But he believed more in his own judgment on people. Wei Mao was not like someone who would do or say that he could do such a treacherous thing.

Wei Ming restrained his smile and said solemnly, “Azhao, are you afraid that I will kill an innocent son by mistake?”

Wei Zhao remained silent, although Wei Ming might not be ruthless towards his son, but once something goes wrong, it cannot be undone. The national mourning is coming to an end, and thousands of people have been involved in this matter, so the disposal of Wei Mao cannot be dragged on forever.

Seeing that Wei Zhao was silent, Wei Ming’s expression became even more sad. This decision is really too difficult to make.

Inside Zongzheng Temple, Wei Hao followed the guards and went down to the bottom step by step. As he walked, he looked left and right, the expression on his face was indescribable. This cell located under the Soshoji Temple is dedicated to imprisoning members of the royal family who have committed serious crimes.

After walking all the stairs, there was still a long passage with no end in sight. Wei Hao followed the jailer forward without saying a word, but he was thinking about who designed this ghost place. Lost rhythm.

After several turns, Wei Hao finally heard the jailer say, “His Royal Highness King Wu, this is the place.”

Wei Hao waved his hand and motioned for the jailer to wait here. He stepped forward alone and pushed open the wooden door that appeared in front of him. Pushing the door and entering the house, Wei Hao saw a whole side of the iron fence. Wei Mao was behind the iron fence. He was sitting in the corner, not sure if he was awake or asleep.

Wei Hao looked up and down, left and right, and found that the place where the descendants of the Tian family were imprisoned was different from an ordinary prison cell. The room was clean and had no peculiar smell. The stone bed was covered with thick straw and a quilt. Wei Mao can’t be frozen.

He walked to the fence and firstly called out “Kitten” in a low voice, but no one paid him any attention. Wei Hao thought Wei Mao was asleep, so he suddenly raised the volume and shouted loudly, “Kitten, don’t sleep, the sun is drying your ass!”

Wei Mao raised his head lazily: “Uncle Sixth Emperor, you can’t see the sun in this place.”

Wei Hao saw that he was in a good mood and still wanted to make fun of himself, so he waved to him: “Kitten, come here, let me see if I’m hungry and thin?” It was the first time he saw him after Cong Wei Mao was imprisoned. , is naturally very worried about his physical condition.

“What? If I can’t get enough to eat, will you catch me two mice?” Wei Maowo refused to move on the spot, and his tone of voice was half-dead. The Sixth Emperor Uncle of his family has been ostentatious in the palace since he was a child, and he has never called him by his name once.

Wei Hao listened to Wei Mao’s words and said solemnly: “As long as you are really willing to eat, let alone two, I can catch you even twenty. Come on, kitten, don’t be angry, come here quickly, I I can’t see you clearly today, so I won’t be able to deal with the fourth brother when I go back.”

Hearing this, Wei Mao raised his eyebrows and slowly moved over from the corner. Wei Hao hurriedly pasted it, stretched out his hand from the gap between the fences, first shook Wei Mao’s hand forcefully, then touched his face, and sighed, “It’s really thin, it’s pitiful.”

Wei Mao sat on the ground leaning against the iron fence and asked in a low voice, “Who asked you to see me?”

“Of course it’s the emperor’s brother, and the fourth brother.” Wei Hao said naturally: “What is this place? Zongzheng Temple’s cell, how can I get in without the emperor’s permission. Kitten, are you being kidnapped? Are you stupid?”

Wei Mao gave him a white look and continued to ask, “Did the royal father tell you why he asked you to come to see me, is the fourth uncle finding new evidence? Or did he believe that I was the murderer of the prince’s brother, and wanted to give My last supper?”

Although Wei Mao was already trying his best to hide it, at the end of his words, he still showed a little panic. Compared with being framed as the murderer of Wei Xuan, what he felt more terrifying was that Wei Ming and Jun Feili doubted him, even they refused to believe him?

How could he attack the prince’s brother? From childhood to adulthood, he was the person who loved him the most in the palace. Even if he got into trouble, when his father and mother wanted to punish him, the prince’s brother would gently intercede for him. There will be someone better than him.

It’s fine if other people don’t believe him. Why don’t the father, the queen, and the queen believe it? He has never coveted the throne, and he is very self-aware. He knows that what Wei Xuan can do may not be what he can do. The king is the goal of his life.

Wei Hao is higher in seniority than Wei Mao, but younger than him. He grew up with him since childhood. Seeing his rare sad expression at this time, he hurriedly comforted him, “Brother Huang must believe in you, otherwise he will I won’t let the fourth brother verify the case again and again…”

“But the fourth brother didn’t find out anything, right? Everyone said that I was the murderer of the prince’s brother…” Even the elder brother of his princess was also a witness against him, but what he said, he He wasn’t told to do it at all.

There is also the correspondence between him and the three princesses of Nanyue brought by Ruan Shao. They obviously only talked about eating and drinking in the letter, and where the military affairs were involved, the two of them clearly did not understand what things were, it was simply inexplicable. .

The elder sister’s dowry is even more funny. He doesn’t have a name, let alone colluded with her family. He even used it as a threat to force her to kill the prince. He still doesn’t know that woman. Whether it looks square or flat.
