Plead guilty and tell the person behind it! "

Cai Bo looked at Pu Chen with mixed feelings in his heart.He followed Pu Yang's wife, Jiang Ji, for decades, since Jiang Ji was still a young lady who had not left the cabinet. Jiang Ji first married the son of the Yuan family, and then married Pu Yang after she was widowed.In his heart, Jiang Ji's children are like his own children, especially after his own wife and children died of illness during the war, serving Jiang Ji and Pu Shi became the only purpose of his life.However, when he saw the woman in Xikou Lane, when he recognized the woman's identity, he had no choice.He looked deeply at Pu Chen, he really wanted to tell him everything, but he couldn't.

"Who is the person behind you?" Pu Chen asked again.

"The person behind me is Prime Minister Qi." Uncle Cai pointed at Qi Chen, "The head of the family has always opposed the establishment of the king of Chu as the prince. It was you who bribed me with a lot of money, ordered me to kill the head of the house, and promised me glory Fugui. I was deceived by lard and killed the Patriarch. Who would have thought that you would not only kill the Patriarch, but also frame the Young Master!" Cai Bo said this, plopped down on his knees, and shouted at Puyang's coffin, "After I killed the Patriarch, I couldn't sleep or eat well. I didn't have a good night's sleep. Today, I will confess in front of the Patriarch's spirit. I, Uncle Cai, have done such things that are worse than pigs and dogs. Now I can only apologise with death!"

"Nonsense!" Qi Xiang's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Come here! The suspect is talking nonsense, framing important officials in the court, framing the king of Chu, drag it down, drag it down!"

"Slow down!" Pu Chen shouted.Although he didn't know why Cai Bo retracted his confession in front of the hall, he knew very well that if he didn't protect Cai Bo at this moment, he might never be able to find out about this matter in the future.

Pu Chen and Wen Tao guarded Cai Bo behind him, and Pu Chen said to the King of Chu, "Qi Xiang, why should you be in such a hurry? Even if Cai Bo is talking nonsense, Qi Xiang can wait for Cai Bo to finish his words. The clearer will clear himself, If it was really him who framed him, we will find out after an investigation. It's not that Pu doesn't trust Qi Xiang, it's just that my father was killed by a traitor in Jiankang, no wonder Pu is extra careful in everything, I believe the King of Chu will not blame him."

Although some of the officials in the hall are under the Qi family, many of them are already biased towards the crown prince and are dissatisfied with the Qi family's domineering in recent years.Now the cause of Pu Yang's death has been found out. Hearing Cai Bo's words, it was actually the Qi family who killed the great Sima of the dynasty for the sake of King Chu's seizure of power. The hidden dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts was ignited.At this moment, several old ministers have spoken uprightly: "Let him say it, and see what he can say!"

Seeing the completely out-of-control situation in the court, the King of Chu had quietly ordered someone to notify Qi Yan to increase the number of imperial troops he transferred.

Cai Bo took out a stack of letters from his bosom, presented them to Pu Chen with both hands, and said, "Young Master, these are the evidences that Qi Xiang bribed me and ordered me to kill the Patriarch. I hand it over to the Young Master in this hall, and then I'm relieved." After finishing speaking, Cai Bo got up suddenly.He didn't wait for everyone to slow down, he had already crashed into Pu Yang's coffin!

The incident happened suddenly, Pu Chen was still focused on the letter, and when he realized it, Cai Bo had already spattered Chaoyang Palace with blood, and died on the spot!

The old slave who betrayed the Lord and begged for glory was tortured by his conscience before he died, and pointed out the real culprit behind it.This scene is so convincing, it is so convincing!

"You...you are talking nonsense!" At first, Qi Chen thought that he could be escorted to Dali Temple to be dealt with slowly, but Cai Bo committed suicide on the spot. He, who was always good at planning, also lost his courage to advance and retreat at this moment, and lost his voice. Said, "I've never, never written anything like this!"

Qi Chen rushed towards Pu Chen, subconsciously wanting to take the letter over to read, but Pu Chen turned sideways and put away the evidence properly, not giving Qi Chen a chance to contact him.He took a few steps back, stared at Qi Chen and said, "Qi Xiang, what else do you have to say now?"

Qi Chen had never been so embarrassed in his life. Standing in the court hall, facing the whispers of all the officials, he couldn't say a word.How, how did it become like this?Obviously Cai Bo himself admitted that it was Pu Chen's personal bodyguard who killed Pu Yang, how could this happen?

"If you deliberately framed it, how could you lose your life!"

"Unexpectedly, it was Qi Xiang's hands."

"If it's at the hands of Prime Minister Qi, then the King of Chu..."

Baiguan looked at Qi Chen and King Chu with complex meanings.Suddenly, His Highness walked out of a man in his 40s, with steady steps and deep socketed eyes, and he said loudly: "Qi Chen is arrogant and domineering, and disorderly governs; It has long been obvious that he took the position of prince and replaced him. Now that the Qi family has murdered the great Sima and framed the young master of the Pu family, his wolf ambition cannot be tolerated! Your majesty is seriously ill. Colluding with Qi Chen to kill important ministers and harm Zhongliang is really a crime of treason!"

This remark was deafening. Everyone looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Xie Kun, who came from the Xie family in Chenjun, which was the mother's family of the crown prince. Because the family lost power in the Seven Kings Rebellion, the court in Nanjing now only leads a five-year-old. The petty officer of the product.

However, these remarks completely changed the direction of Chaoyang Temple today.

22, 22.

"The Qi family colluded with the king of Chu to disrupt the court and kill important ministers. This is really treason! I ask the prince to straighten the court and arrest the rebels!" After Xie Kun said, he knelt down in front of the prince.As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of courtiers in the hall also knelt down together.The official positions of these courtiers were not high, and most of them came from aristocratic families in the north. In the last years of the Jing Dynasty, they traveled south with Zhou Shao. Although they held an official position in the Southern Jing court, their power could not match that of the Qi family and the local aristocratic families in Wu County.

Pu Chen was secretly startled, it turned out that the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Chu had reached this point!In the past, the Nanjing court seemed to be biased towards the King of Chu, but in fact many of them were forced by the power of the Qi Clan.As the saying goes, a centipede is not dead, but many of these officials from the northern gentry have inextricable connections with the Xie family in Chenjun. As for Xie Kun, he is from the prince's mother's family. Unable to sit back and watch the king of Chu ascend the throne.

At this moment, the prince was standing on the side of the court hall under the gaze of everyone, his head was slightly lowered, and his expression could not be seen.

Pu Chen shook his head. Even though the crown prince has many supporters in the court, with the crown prince's ability, it may be difficult to reverse the current situation as a king. If it were not for his own weakness and incompetence, the court in Nanjing would not be what it is now situation.He was thinking about it, when suddenly a deep male voice sounded like a bell in the court.

"The king of Chu, Zhou Ya, did not come from a direct line. He coveted the crown prince for a long time. Qi Chen, as the prime minister, did not want to assist the country in governing the country. It has been several years. The father has repeatedly stated that the Jing Dynasty died of civil strife, and died of the disparity between the elders and the younger. The Da Sima even insisted on standing alone as the prince since the founding of Nan Jingfu, and he was the leader of the court. Gu is the former empress Chen The eldest son of the surname is the lonely prince. His name is righteous, he obeys God's will, and obeys all officials. His father is seriously ill, and the government is controlled by traitors. He is alone and helpless, worrying day and night. Now, even the great Sima kills traitors Today, Gu is in danger of dying, and he must find out the traitors in this court and distinguish right from wrong. If the outnumbered, the evil does not suppress the righteous, and die in this Chaoyang Palace, Gu will be worthy of this prince If God blesses me in Nanjing, the ancestors, the great Sima, and the heroic spirit are above, they will be able to help the lonely and help the court, and kill the traitors!

This is... the voice of the prince!

I saw that the crown prince Zhou Yan, who had always been timid and timid, was standing up straight at this time. Although he was still not as tall as the King of Chu, he had the air of a king.His gaze was like a torch, he held a saber in his hand, he spoke clearly, and spoke fiercely, as if he was a completely different person!Pu Chen almost couldn't believe his own eyes, he and Wen Tao looked at each other several times, and finally confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the prince, his stupidity before was actually a disguise!

The King of Chu looked at the prince in surprise, and after watching for a long time, he suddenly said: "Okay, my prince, brother, it turns out that this king underestimated you. You have been thinking deeply for so many years, but you have put on a good show! "The King of Chu chuckled a few times, pointed at the prince and said, "I think you are really stupid, I don't think I am stupid, you have been planning for several years, and you are waiting for today!"

The prince did not answer the King of Chu directly, but said in a straight voice: "There are traitors, I have no choice but to learn from Gou Jian's act of lying down and tasting courage. Today, your crime of killing important ministers has been exposed to the world, and Gu will come to do justice for the sky at this moment!" Well, the crown prince turned his sword and stabbed directly at Qi Chen with a lunge!

"Slow down..." Before Pu Chen could say "slow down", the crown prince had already pierced Qi Chen's chest with his saber!Qi Chen has been in a state of confusion ever since Uncle Cai pleaded guilty, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He never thought that the crown prince would stab him to death in front of all the court officials!When he realized it, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and the cold metal pierced into his body, and the last thing he met was the prince's bottomless eyes.

He fell down, looking at the exquisite wood carvings on the top of Chaoyang Hall, he couldn't figure out too many things, what happened to Cai Bo, what happened to the crown prince?Didn't their Qi family have already responded to everyone in the Nanjing court?what is it today……

He will never be able to think clearly about these questions, and he has fallen into eternal darkness.

All the officials present were silent for a moment.Only now did they realize that today's crown prince and King Chu are already two tigers fighting each other to the death.

"Come here, the traitors of the Qi family have been eliminated, and the noble concubine Qi and the king of Chu will be imprisoned." The prince gave an order, and hundreds of prince's attendants entered the hall in full armor.

King Chu laughed and said, "Brother Huang, you don't think that only your East Palace
