Coming out of Concubine Chen's Hall, Jing Wenhao went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony without delay.It has been a few days since Jing Wenxi forced the palace to rebel, or Xie Xuan is a man of means, since he was appointed as the young minister of Dali Temple, he has almost lived in Dali Temple and has never been out. I can understand quickly.In the middle of the night yesterday, they sent someone to send a secret report, saying that the case of Jing Wenxi was almost understood, and they wanted to see him.

When Jing Wenhao arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xie Xuan was indeed already waiting in the hall.

"My humble servant sees the emperor." Xie Xuan saluted.

"Get up and answer." Jing Wenhao always admired Xie Xuan, so he didn't want to be bound by these courtesy.

"The rebellion case has almost been tried. The evidence is conclusive, and they cannot deny it. But the most troublesome thing now is that Yi Wang alone bears all the charges, including the case of Wujia Village, Mr. Lin Chi and his nephew. They were all contacted by King Yi, and the letters they exchanged were also used as evidence. This time, Junhou Zi was able to stand up because of the friendship of King Yi. This is also what Zijunhou said in his confession. In addition, King Ying He strongly denied that he was involved in this matter, so if he wants to punish King Ying as severely as King Yi, I am afraid that there will be some complaints from the court." Xie Xuan also had a headache when trying this case, Jing Yi and Zi Junhou The whole family is easy to talk about, seeing their deeds exposed, it is irrefutable, and the confession is faster than anyone else, but even though they are separated and detained, the caliber of the several parties is unexpectedly the same. Jing Wenxi was extracted.

"What do you think of this?" Jing Wenhao sat at the desk and picked up the file Xie Xuan handed over to read.

"Prisoners are detained separately and reviewed separately, but everyone's testimony is consistent, and I'm afraid it was premeditated. This matter can only be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the delay, the more unstable the wind in the court. After all, the King of England He is the emperor's younger brother." Xie Xuan said truthfully, "If the emperor intends to put the thief to death, he is doomed to endure the court's speculation."

"Hmph, speculation." Jing Wenhao frowned slightly, "Then let them talk. You go and make preparations, and bring Jing Wenxi into the palace generously."

Xie Xuan knew that Jing Wenhao had made up his mind, so he quickly took the order.

An hour later, the prison car of Dali Temple, escorting Jing Wenxi, entered the imperial city like a parade.Jing Wenxi endured strange gazes and all kinds of malicious curses all the way, his heart was full of anger, and he had nowhere to vent it. He knew clearly that what was waiting for him might be something even more terrifying. He had mixed feelings in his heart, but And helpless.

Jing Wenxi was taken directly to the clan mansion and stuffed into the interrogation room. The interrogation room was very cold. Jing Wenxi was only wearing hard work clothes. Thinking that he had worked in this clan mansion before, he treated him as a matter of course. Looking at the surrounding palace people, he said: "Bring me a thick coat, and make a cup of hot tea, preferably with charcoal fire, and bring a basin."

Never thought that no servant gave him a good face during the whole process, Jing Wenxi couldn't hold back his face more and more. He used to see that he was not submissive, but now that the wall is down and everyone pushes him, he feels uncomfortable, and shouted: " You dog slave, how dare you treat me so presumptuously."

The servant he scolded was already in charge, and he couldn't get used to Jing Wenxi's prestige when he relied on Jing Wenhao's favor for a long time, so he just smiled and replied: "My lord, are you not in Dali?" You've been in the temple for a long time, and you're going crazy. Look at it, this is the clan's mansion, and those who can enter here return cotton clothes and hot tea, aren't you joking?"

Without waiting for Jing Wenxi to attack, the eunuch continued: "However, there is enough charcoal fire. When you need to use a branding iron for torture, the prince will naturally see the fire. Please wait here."

"Dog slave, you, how dare you disrespect this king. Be careful that the emperor will come later, and you will have good fruit to eat." Jing Wenxi knew that what he did the day before yesterday disappointed Jing Wenhao, but if For the sake of the former empress, Jing Wenhao will not kill him completely. The messengers outside should also go out. If he can wait for his grandfather to come back, he will still have room for change.

"My lord, it's not that I'm a slave talking too much. Think about it for yourself. Which one of those who entered here can get out safely. You, please pray for your own blessing." The eunuch ignored Jing Wenxi after finishing speaking, and retreated. Jing Wenxi was left alone in the interrogation room.

Not long after, Jing Wenhao came over.

As soon as Jing Wenhao entered the door, Jing Wenxi knelt down, weeping, and said: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you finally came to see me."

Jing Wenhao ignored Jing Wenxi, went straight to the opposite of him, and sat down.

"Brother Huang, you have to believe me, it's Uncle Huang, he forced me." Jing Wenxi's slow face was full of horror, accusing Jing Yi of persecuting him, "He did everything, yes He found Lin Gap to set up troops, and he found Zi Junhou to rebel. I, I am just a pawn, Brother Huang. It is my fault, it is because I am too timid that I dare not expose this matter. I almost hurt Brother Huang, Brother Huang, please forgive me this time, forgive me this time."

"Brother, do you really think I'm stupid?" Jing Wenhao felt as if he heard Jing Wenxi's defense.

"Do you still remember the man who set fire to Dali Temple?" Jing Wenhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Wenxi, "That man is your dead man, I knew it early on, that's why I put his body in front of you .My good brother, you were quite deep at that time, and you were able to bear it."

"Huang, brother Huang, it must be, there must be some misunderstanding." Jing Wenxi still wanted to struggle.

"Oh, misunderstanding. You really don't cry when you see the coffin. Do you think that you can be saved if everyone's confession leaves you out?" Jing Wenhao walked in, "Joke. Why did you rebel, you Do you think I don’t know? You were not born to the emperor, do you think I don’t know? At the beginning, the queen mother had a private meeting with King Yi and gave birth to you, a wicked child. After the emperor knew about it, the queen mother demanded death to keep you and Prince Yi Wang, the father loved his mother so much that he endured it. Later, both of them passed away. The father was afraid that you would not be able to raise him well, so he asked me to kill you. King Yi should have told you this decree. This decree advises you to rebel with him."

"If you want to say that this King Yi is also eager to love his son, not to mention planning for you, even when he is about to die, he wants to leave you behind. To be honest, in this regard, I obey him, at least he can be regarded as a Competent father. However, you are different. When your father was alive, you knew that you were not born of him, and you were unfilial to him all day long. This is unfilial. My father and mother passed away. You take care of me so much, you are the most honorable prince in this world, but when it comes to rebellion, you are not ambiguous at all. Blame it on someone else, and that person is still your biological father. This is unrighteous. If you can admit what you have done like a man, I can still respect you and let you die happily, but brother, You are really worthless. Adoptive father, elder brother, and biological father are all ants in your eyes, what's the use of keeping you?"

Regardless of Jing Wenxi's surprise, Jing Wenhao finished these words in one breath.

Jing Wenxi, as if struck by lightning, froze in place for a long time before saying: "You, when did you know this?"

"When?" Jing Wenhao made a thoughtful look, then looked at Jing Wenxi, and said, "To be specific, when you let Concubine Zhen harm Li Xi, at that time I knew everything was yours." I did it with my good emperor uncle. But at that time, I suddenly realized that there was no one around me, so I couldn't stand you for a while. I was thinking about the case of Wujiacun, if I can kill your treasonous heart , I only thought about family affection, forget it, but in the end, who would have thought that it would force you to jump over the wall in a hurry, before everything was ready, so you hurriedly raised your troops."

"Now that you know everything, why did you bring me into the palace today? Could it be that you think..." Jing Wenxi's face was full of horror.

"Oh, it seems that the emperor still knows me very well. Since the emperor wants to pick you out, then I can only do it myself." Jing Wenhao ignored Jing Wenxi's surprised expression, and retreated behind the interrogation stand , sit down, take out a piece of rice paper, press it well, pick up a pen and start writing.

"You, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the people in the clan will criticize you? If you force your brother to death, aren't you afraid that the officials in the court will whisper? Do you really want to become the tyrant described by the historian? Also, there is your grandfather, you How do we explain to our ancestors?" Jing Wenxi was already terrified at the moment, racking his brains to find a reason to stop Jing Wenhao.

However, Jing Wenhao was not distracted, and still concentrated on writing. After a long while, he finally stopped writing, brought the calligraphy to Jing Wenxi, and said: "The clan is just a bunch of idlers, all relying on my family. Live with your heart. Any minister in the court who dares to speak irresponsible words will be deposed. As for the historian, they are all under my command. He will write whatever I ask him to write. Besides, tyrants are fine. It doesn't matter if you are a benevolent king, if you can be famous forever, don't care what he does. When I was young, I loved you and helped you to copy books and practiced your notes. Brother, you can see if you still look like it."

Jing Wenzhao looked up, and it was actually a letter of repentance.

[The emperor’s brother, I and the emperor’s brother are of the same blood, and I have been blessed by the emperor’s brother since I was a child. However, my intentions are not right, and I listen to the slander of the villain. I want to murder the emperor’s brother, take his throne, and replace him, which is really disloyal. righteous.Trapped in prison today, I realized that I regretted it, but I really have no face to face the emperor, so I can only kill myself to thank God.My younger brother, Jing Wenxiu's last pen. ]

"No, I don't want to, I don't want to die." Jing Wenxi looked at the note on the confession book that was the same as himself, and shouted, "I don't want to die, brother emperor, brother emperor, forgive me, forgive me."

Jing Wenhao grabbed Jing Wenxi's finger, pressed the ink pad on it, and then pressed the repentance book, and put the repentance book on the interrogation table.

Turning his head to look at Jing Wenxi like a torch, he said: "I can't help you".
