Chapter 915: The Crown Prince's Guilt The look between Yan Xinghe and Fu Ciyi at this moment did not look like they were rivals at all...More like an ally. The prince's heart suddenly began to get nervous, he remembered that he had sent people to investigate their relationship for many days, and he had also tried to test it many times, so Yan Xinghe probably would not betray him. If he dares to betray, he will use A Ting as a handle. By then, we will see whether Yan Xinghe can still be a powerful minister in the cabinet. Thinking of this, his heart began to calm down. At this time, Fu Ciyi spoke up: "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Long Yaodong has abducted women and wives and privately built a beauty farm. He has used this to make money, win over court officials, and attempt to control the court. He has killed countless people and his crimes are too numerous to list. He deserves to be punished." As soon as the words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. The corners of Long Yi's lips curled up. This brat is worthy of being his son, his blood flows in his body. He is manly, courageous and bold.
The elders of the royal family were all furious. An old man asked loudly: "Master Fu, do you have any evidence?" "Don't worry." After Fu Ciyi finished speaking, he raised his hand towards Yan Xinghe. Yan Xinghe followed up with a report: "Before the change of ownership, the famous Fufeng Restaurant on Zhuque Street was actually owned by the Crown Prince Long Yaodong. The prices of the food were high, and he used this to make money and bribe the court officials. This is one of his crimes. The second is that in the early stages of its construction, Fufeng Restaurant forcibly occupied the people's land and houses, harming many people." As soon as these words fell, the whole audience began to whisper. The prince's biological father glared at Yan Cheng: "Duke Yan raised a good son!" "Thank you for your kindness." Yan Cheng responded with a smile. The prince's biological father felt like he had punched cotton. He was helpless and it was not convenient for him to rush forward and fight with the Yan family at this moment. Jingzhao Yin asked in confusion: "Isn't the case over?" "On the surface, it's over, but in fact, all the people originally registered were the prince's servants. And he and Doctor Yang committed suicide out of fear of punishment, which is also suspicious." Fu Ciyi spoke again, "Your Majesty, I have evidence to prove that the two were murdered by the prince and made to look like they committed suicide out of fear of punishment." The emperor did not expect that these two powerful ministers, one the top scholar and the other the second, would do such a thing at the grand banquet tonight. What he didn't expect was that everything they told him was about why the prince was incapable of shouldering the responsibility. After all, he heard that many people were killed. The emperor said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, where is the evidence?" The prince said anxiously: "Father, they are talking nonsense!" "Whether it is nonsense or not, you can tell it by just listening to it." The emperor's face darkened. He raised his hand, signaling Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe to present the evidence. Seeing that the situation was not right, the prince shouted angrily: "Yan Xinghe, how did you promise me? If you continue to be stubborn, A Ting..." He didn't say anything further, but his words were full of threats.
"The one who is stubborn is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yan Xinghe said coldly, "As for A-Ting, I was just playing with her." After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands. Someone then presented the neatly organized case files and dossiers. The emperor looked at the mountain of information and his face turned red, as if a storm was about to come. "Just looking at the words on paper is not comprehensive enough." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Please ask for a witness." As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought over several beauties from the Beauty Manor. Not only that, the people whose land was originally expropriated to build the Fufeng Restaurant also came. One of them was Doctor Wen, the adopted daughter of Imperial Physician Yang. "What's going on?" The prince was full of disbelief. "When did you prepare these people?" His beauty Zhuangzi is not accessible to ordinary people. Similarly, the beauties inside could not come out easily. Although the beauties who came out were only a small part of the group, seeing that they could come was a betrayal. The prince was furious that such a little girl dared to betray him. Ah Ting knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I was abducted by the prince five years ago. I was first raped by him and then thrown into the Beauty Manor. Since then, ministers have been visiting the manor every night." "Not only did I suffer this, but my sisters did too." "I also had a good sister who was beaten to death by the prince because she refused to live like a prostitute." Ah Ting bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, please look into this!" The women who were on good terms with Ating all told her about how they were kidnapped and what happened to them. All the ministers present fell silent upon hearing this. Yang Shu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my grandson was knocked unconscious by the crown prince and thrown into a mass grave. More than ten years later, I learned that my grandson was not dead. My Yang family is lucky in this matter, but there are many neighbors who unfortunately lost their family members." Immediately, an old man came forward tremblingly, and incoherently told the prince about his wrongdoings: "I am already old, and I am not afraid that the prince will come to harm me again. No one else in my family is alive, and they were all killed by the prince. Please, Your Majesty, look into this matter and give us people justice!" "I will give justice!" The emperor clenched his fist and looked at the clan elders present with a stern gaze. None of the elders dared to meet the emperor's gaze. Fu Ciyi took out a list from his bosom and presented it to the emperor: "These lists are what Lord Yan and I have found during our investigation of the beauty Zhuangzi. They also include what A Ting helped to record. Please take a look, Your Majesty." "Bring it up." The emperor's face darkened. Eunuch Song quickly took the list from Fu Ciyi and presented it to the emperor. For a time, everyone was in danger. He was afraid of being implicated by the prince's beauty Zhuangzi. The emperor frowned, and after flipping through the list, he looked up at Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe who were standing below with dignity. How to say good things about them? Two thorns? After all, with such a list in hand, it can be said that half of the court officials are involved.
If we really want to talk about the guilt, the turmoil in the court can be said to be political instability, and its harm is equivalent to a major earthquake in the court. The two people in front of me would not have failed to consider this. But they still do it. In the long run, he should be thankful that Dajing has ministers like them! But at the moment, it is true that he, as the emperor, is in poor health, and the government cannot be in chaos, nor can it give foreign countries the opportunity to take advantage of it. Thinking of this, he closed the list. The list was torn up in front of civil and military officials. Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe looked at each other when they saw this. They had expected this a long time ago. So I copied several copies early on. The emperor said: "It is not that I will not investigate, but the mastermind behind this incident is the crown prince." As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers who had personal dealings with the prince in the past, especially those who had physical dealings with the beauty Zhuangzi and other women, all breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately turned the tables and began accusing the prince of all the faults and mistakes he had made over the years since he became the crown prince. "Long Yaodong has made no achievements in all these years as the crown prince." "Yes, I have never seen him do anything that benefits the people." "I have never seen him help the emperor solve his problems." "It was all because of him that the emperor got his arm bitten by a bear. I don't know if the prince did anything wrong at the time." "That's right. Many people fell off their horses at that time. Now I think it's not a coincidence." There will be another chapter later~
