A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Li Hu knelt on the ground and said, "General Li Hu pays respect to His Majesty."

"In fact, when His Royal Highness Zhan Wang came to the capital, he did not intend to rebel. Ever since the Emperor ascended the throne, His Royal Highness Zhan Wang intended to be a wealthy prince in his fiefdom, and he never thought of rebelling."

The King of War never rebelled, nor did he ever think about rebelling.

This sentence caused an uproar in the hall, and one stone caused a thousand ripples.

Among the people present, the older ones had witnessed the struggle for the throne with their own eyes, and the fact that Prince Zhan left the capital and returned a few years later.

Young people have also heard these things. Everyone in the world knows that the King of War is guilty of treason and should be executed.

But Li Hu's words today made everyone suspicious again.

Is Li Hu just talking nonsense, or is there some other hidden story behind what happened back then?

Emperor Xuande stared at Li Hu for a long time with a sullen face before he asked in a cold voice, "Since he had no intention of rebelling, why did he lead his army into Beijing that year?"

In fact, according to Emperor Xuande's true intention, he most wanted to drag Li Hu away and chop him into pieces.

But the more he hated her, the more he forced himself to suppress his emotions. He wanted to show the court officials that his mind and bearing were no less generous than Zhou Yangze's.

Li Hu raised his head, looked past Emperor Xuande, and glanced at Concubine Xian in a subtle way. It was so subtle that even Shen Zhixiu didn't notice anything unusual.

The virtuous concubine clenched her fists under her sleeves, and did not look directly at Li Hu, but suddenly looked at the prince.

Li Hu immediately withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and made up his mind.

Then Li Hu said, "Your Majesty, the reason His Royal Highness Prince Zhan came to the capital was because he received a message from Princess Yongjia."

"Princess Yongjia said in the letter that Concubine Yu was crying all day in the palace. The emperor treated Concubine Yu even more coldly, and even refused to treat her well with food and drink."

"Your Highness Prince Zhan is filial, so he led the army back to the capital. His original intention was to have a discussion with the Emperor and then take Concubine Yu away."

Concubine Yu was the biological mother of Prince Zhan and had been living out her days in the palace. After Prince Zhan was killed for treason, Concubine Yu fell seriously ill and could not recover.

Even though Prince Zhan had rebelled, Emperor Xuande still gave Concubine Yu a grand funeral. He posthumously conferred the title and buried her with him. There was no ambiguity at all.

So when Emperor Xuande heard what Li Hu said, he flew into a rage, "When did I ever treat Concubine Yu in a hostile way? After I ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yu lived together in Shoukang Palace. I have always been respectful to Concubine Yu. I also respect Concubine Yu when I am filial to the Empress Dowager."

Recalling what Li Hu said, the letter was written by Princess Yongjia. Emperor Xuande looked at her coldly again, "Yongjia, tell me, when did I treat Concubine Yu harshly?"

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has ruled the world with filial piety.

If this word gets out, his reputation in this life will be ruined.

Princess Yongjia knelt on the ground again after hearing this, "Brother, I don't know what letter he is talking about."

She turned and glared at Li Hu, "You said that this princess wrote a letter to King Zhan, where is the letter?"

She just couldn't believe that Li Hu could still produce the letter after more than ten years.

As expected, Li Hu's expression froze. "I don't have the letter. Your Highness burned it after reading it."

"But what I said was the truth. Li Jingchuan stepped on the corpse of our prince and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in exchange for his military merits and was crowned king."

At this point, Li Hu's hatred was unstoppable. He didn't look at Princess Yongjia, but stared at Li Jingchuan with wide eyes, "You are also a military general. You use this method to gain military merit. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"I thought that all the soldiers on the battlefield were upright people, but now it seems that I was wrong."

Li Hu's sarcastic words made Li Jingchuan feel ashamed, and he asked himself this question countless times.

Emperor Xuande was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean Li Jingchuan stepped on your corpses in exchange for military merit and became a king? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You are at the gates of the city, so what's wrong with me sending troops to suppress you?"

Although he asked this question, Emperor Xuande actually already had a bold guess in his mind.

If it is really as he thought, then the Li family will never escape the blame.

Li Hu said: "The prince stationed his army outside the city and did not intend to bring the army into the city. He went to see Princess Yongning first and brought three carts of gifts to Princess Yongning."

"But when Your Highness went to Princess Yongning's villa, our garrison was attacked by unidentified soldiers. Our people did not want to cause a conflict, so they just drove them away and did not kill anyone."

"At that time, I felt something was wrong, so I went to the other courtyard to ask the prince to return to the station."

"Later, Princess Yongjia suddenly came and knocked the prince unconscious in the tent. She also attacked me and others. When I woke up again, there were corpses all around me."

"The Li family held up a big banner and shouted that the rebels had been wiped out."

As Li Hu spoke, Emperor Xuande was also recalling what happened back then.

That year, he received news that the King of War had suddenly arrived at the city gates and stationed troops outside the city.

Yongjia also sent a letter to the palace, which was a declaration of war written by the King of War. After that, two more conflicts occurred outside the city, and it was said that many people were killed and injured.

At that time, he had not yet issued an order to Li Jingchuan to quell the war, and wanted to see what the King of War meant.

But suddenly news came back from outside the palace that all the people in Princess Yongning's villa had been massacred. He was so angry that he immediately issued an order to kill the rebels without mercy.

Yongjia happened to be in the palace at that time, and he directly asked for this imperial decree on behalf of Li Jingchuan.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xuande said coldly: "Li Jingchuan killed Zhou Yangze because Zhou Yangze first massacred Yongning's villa. How can I allow him to live?"

Li Hu shook his head. "Your Majesty was deceived. After I woke up, I put my battle robe on a dead soldier. I also cut his face several times and threw him next to the prince's body."

"We are similar in stature, so the Li family thought that man was a junior general."

"After that, I quietly went to Princess Yongning's villa, intending to tell Her Royal Highness the truth."

"But when I arrived outside the courtyard, I happened to see Princess Yongjia leading people in. Within half an hour, the courtyard was littered with corpses."

As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, Princess Yongjia angrily said, "You are talking nonsense. His Majesty heard that Sister Yongning's villa was massacred, so he ordered the Marquis to go out of the city to wipe out the rebels."

"After we wiped out the War King, we went to Sister Yongning's villa and found that she was gone. It was also on that day that we found Su Yuanzhou in the villa and brought him back to the mansion."

At this point, Princess Yongjia faced Emperor Xuande and cried, "Brother, I am indeed jealous of Sister Yongning. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities towards that child over the years."

"But she is my own sister after all. How could I possibly destroy her life?"

Emperor Xuande glanced at Li Hu and Princess Yongjia with an inquiring look. Now the question was whether Yongning's villa would be massacred first, or Li Jingchuan would put down the rebellion first.

Su Yuanzhou glanced at Emperor Xuande's expression, and suddenly put his hand on his forehead, "Hiss..."

His action also attracted the attention of others.

"Yuanzhou, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Xuande asked with concern.

Su Yuanzhou frowned, "Your Majesty, I vaguely remember something, but I have a severe headache."
