Transmigrated into the daughter of the prime minister, and thrived in space
Chapter 285 The Emperor Faints
The emperor was neither anxious nor impatient. He took a sip of tea and thought to himself: In this case, it is better to do it today than to wait for another day!
Today is the day!
"Minister An, please speak!"
Everyone was shocked and put down their wine glasses and chopsticks... They all looked at the emperor and then at An Bingduan.
An Bingduan's lips trembled, he knelt down, and immediately burst into tears.
"That year, I was still a small grain officer, responsible for transporting grain to the border. On the way, I met Chen's deputy general Zeng Li, and intercepted a letter of treason from him. I reported it to Mu Xincheng, the prince of the Mu Mansion at that time, and he presented it to the emperor... As a result, the Chen family's white robe army was convicted of the serious crime of treason."
Everyone looked solemn and listened carefully, but they didn't hear any clues.
"But, I later learned that the collision with Zeng Li was planned by Mu Xincheng... On the night he presented it to the emperor, I, I learned the truth. The letter of treason was written by Shi Wenbo, Mu Xincheng's scribe, and he took advantage of Zeng Li's unpreparedness to replace the letter of help in his arms with a letter of treason... I... I was afraid of Mu Xincheng's power, and I was reluctant to give up the wealth and glory he promised me. In the end, I betrayed my conscience and took the credit for catching Qi Tianheng!"
He took a deep breath and continued with a resolute attitude: "For so many years, I have been condemned by my conscience. There are tens of thousands of taels of Qi State gold confiscated when Qi Tianheng was captured in the secret vault of my home. At that time, a total of hundreds of thousands of gold were confiscated, and Mu Xincheng and I divided it 40% and 60%! I, your servant, deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
The emperor's hand, stroking the dragon throne, had blue veins exposed and was trembling slightly.
Although he knew from the beginning that the Chen family might be wronged, he was still haunted by the demon of the weak master and strong ministers, so he hastily convicted and ordered the execution... Therefore, he could not let it go for a long time and refused to forgive himself.
However, when the details of the false accusation were exposed so blatantly, I still couldn't control my anger and hatred.
After all, if these people hadn't instigated him, perhaps he wouldn't have killed Li'er's father and brother with his own hands, and Wen Ming wouldn't have lived in revenge for so many years...
The human heart is very complicated. Even though he knew that the most fundamental reason came from the fear deep in his heart and the so-called way of the Son of Heaven, when someone really ran out and told the truth -
This naked truth became the best reason to cover up the past, so the emperor was righteously and justifiably angry, even roaring and cursing!
It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the condemnation of conscience and suppressed pain he had endured over the past decade!
An Bingduan was so frightened that his face turned pale, tears streamed down his face, and he kowtowed repeatedly.
Soon, his forehead was bruised and bloody!
When he was knocking his head to the ground, he caught a glimpse of Li Mochen's calm face, and saw a meaningful arc on his face. He cried out, "He deserves to die! He deserves to die!"
An Bingduan wiped the tears and blood from his face and continued speaking with a choked voice.
"Now, the grandson of General Chen Qingzhi of the White Robe Army, Marquis Wennan, has found me and told me to tell the truth...or else he will kill me. I have no choice but to risk my life to confess my crimes to the public!"
An Bingduan's tone began to become ambiguous, and when he said the word "truth", he paused deliberately, as if there was some other meaning behind it!
At this time, everyone in the hall no longer cared about the "truth" of the Chen family's white robe army. Now everyone's attention was on -
Wen Nan Hou Si Wenming is the grandson of General Chen Qingzhi!
This statement was like a thunderclap that shocked everyone in the hall, and all eyes flew towards Si Wenming like flying knives!
His eyes were filled with surprise, and even gradually with fear. He stood up and dodged unconsciously.
It seemed that in the next second, this handsome young man, who was so respectful in the past but is now the grandson of a guilty minister, would crush everyone on the field.
Human nature is complex!
Just now everyone felt that the injustice done to the deceased old General Chen Qingzhi was the greatest, and everyone looked at him with great sympathy, and felt an extremely heavy and empathetic sense of injustice. But now they just felt that everything was the result of the painstaking efforts and deep calculations of the grandson of this traitor.
Some old officials and ministers, after expressing their deep sympathy, recalled that they had either helped to incite the Chen family and strangle the White Robe Army, or had been the knife that assisted in the strangulation...
Everyone is as frightened as a rabbit!
Especially when he learned that Chen Qingzhi had a grandson still alive, he became even more panicked, and his heart was as surging as a flood that broke through a dam.
One wave higher than the other, drowning the insignificant conscience!
The shock in her heart was like a raging storm, making Yu Xiaoqiao's face pale. She subconsciously covered her slightly open mouth to stifle the scream that was about to burst out.
It turned out that the reason for his heroic sacrifice was not to clear the injustice of the Chen family's White Robe Army, but to make public the secret that Si Wenming was the grandson of Chen Qingzhi!
He easily eliminated Si Wenming, the most powerful arm of Li Lingyan in seizing the throne.
The malicious intention was beyond my expectation.
Yu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look at Li Mochen who had a calm expression, then turned to look at Si Wenming.
She took his cold hand and squeezed it tightly, feeling his whole body tense.
Obviously, the sudden situation in the palace was beyond his expectations.
A look of astonishment also appeared on the emperor's usually gentle face. Of course, it was not because of Si Wenming's identity, but how An Bingduan knew about it and how he was used so openly.
He was so angry that he coughed several times and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. A hint of red could be seen in the wrinkles.
"Shut up! I allow you to state your crimes and mention the Chen family, but I do not allow you to speak nonsense and bark like a madman!"
An Bingduan had a loyal face and tears streaming down his face. "Your Majesty, what I said is true. It is all true! There is absolutely no lie. I have the letters between Chen Qingzhi and Si Wenming's mother, Chen Jiangli. Chen Jiangli is Chen Qingzhi's illegitimate daughter!"
This statement stirred up a thousand waves again!
"Minister An, let's not talk about whether Marquis Wennan's mother is Chen Qingzhi's illegitimate daughter for now. Where did you get these letters? Could it be that you sneaked into the Si Mansion and stole things?" Li Lingyan stood up and slowly walked into the hall.
An Bingduan looked uneasy and whispered, "It was... it was obtained when Chen Qingzhi was strangled..."
The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, "If you seized it that year, why did you report it only now?"
The emperor seemed a little dizzy, his body swayed for a moment, and he coughed violently again. His handkerchief was covered in blood. He shouted angrily, "Tell me! We have seized it a long time ago, why did you report it only now! How can you confirm it is correct! Marquis Wennan, it is impossible..."
As he spoke, his vision went dark and he slumped down on the dragon chair, his body shaking.
The Chen family's White Robe Army may be wronged, and I can face up to my mistakes back then, but Wen Ming's identity must not be exposed, otherwise, everything will be different!
Not only will it be difficult to have a fair retrial of the Chen family’s case, Wen Ming may also become the second Chen Qingzhi!
I will not allow it, I will never allow it!
