After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

In just a few words, he proved that the court officials in the palace were guilty of conspiracy to rebel.

Xun Zhan and Xia Ling are both skilled and courageous. They just received the secret letter today and cannot tell whether it is true or not, so they dare not act rashly. In order to protect their lives, right? It is better to believe it than not to believe it.

How could Xia Ling let them die with Xia Yu just because they didn't speak up for him?

He has such a vicious heart, how can he be worthy of ascending the throne and ruling the world in the future?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent."

The sounds of people crying and protesting were heard, and Shen Jinmo felt that these people were making too much noise.

These court officials should see Xia Ling's true nature clearly, so as to avoid any death-defying protests when the Eastern Palace is executed in the future. Shen Jinmo did not expel these spectators.

He simply asked someone to find a few people with loud voices to kick a few people and stuff cloth into the mouths of a few people, and the noise in the hall then stopped.

Xun Zhan rubbed his ears that were ringing from the noise and glanced at Xia Ling with a half-smile.

He pointed his finger at the surroundings and then labeled these people as Xia Ling's faction.

"The Ming King has no throne, no support from the people, and no submission from the court officials. How dare he rebel with five or six hundred people? Does he think he has lived too long?"

If the current situation is concluded, no matter how you look at it, Xia Ling will be the final beneficiary.

No matter how stupid Xia Yu was, it was impossible for him to make such a plan in front of everyone.

What's more, everyone in the court knows that Xia Yu is not only not dull, but also a person who acts extremely steadily and cleverly.

Xia Ling clenched his fists into fists hidden in his wedding gown. The moment he lowered his head and frowned, he realized where he was wrong.

He wanted so many things, so many that Xia Hong must have been suspicious of him by now.

But Xia Ling didn't suffer any loss, for one thing, Xia Hong didn't want him to live.

Secondly, what he wanted to see clearly in today's game was how many guards Xia Hong had around him and how strong he needed to be in order to kill Xia Hong.

"Xun Zhan, you are throwing this dirty water on me just to protect King Ming?"

Without waiting for Xun Zhan to answer, Xia Ling looked at Xia Hong and burst into tears.

"I have admired Shu'er for many years. With the grace of my father, I am able to marry Shu'er as the Crown Princess. I am afraid that Shu'er will be wronged, and I am also afraid that the world will see that my family neglects the general who protects the country. For the past few months, I have been focusing on the preparations for the wedding."

"I am the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. How could I be so ignorant as to choose the day of my wedding to make such a joke?"

"It's not the first time that the Crown Prince is marrying a Crown Princess. Don't portray yourself as the infatuated person who wants to be with General Han for the rest of his life."

Xun Zhan wanted to say a few more words, but Xia Yu pulled Xun Zhan with his hand hidden under his sleeve.

When their eyes met, she shook her head slightly, signaling him not to speak any more.

If we dig deeper into some things, and find ourselves biting each other in front of so many people, it would be a loss of face for the royal family.

Xia Ling did not ignore Xia Yu's small actions. He did use some tricks today, but are Xia Yu and Xun Zhan good people?

If they were not so weak, these two would have surely ascended the throne by stepping on his corpse.

"Furthermore, the King of Ming has never said the reason why he mobilized the troops today. Only Lord Xun, a close minister of the King of Ming, has been so eloquent that he keeps throwing dirty water on me."

"If I was really worried about framing the King, why would I have informed Father of all the changes the day I learned about the King's deployment of troops?"

"I have been wronged. I beg Your Majesty to give me justice."

The two sons in front of him each had loyalty, filial piety and the royal family's etiquette in their hearts, and chose to keep the peace when they had the upper hand.

In front of foreign nations, not only did he try to kill his own brother, he also used his father as a target to whitewash himself.

"All right."

These two words suppressed the commotion in the hall, and Xia Hong raised his hand slightly: "Everyone, stand up. Lord Shen will take the Dali Temple to investigate this matter. Before the truth comes out, no one is allowed to discuss this matter privately."

Naturally, in today's almost open game, there was no so-called truth at all, let alone the so-called difference between winning and losing. The only thing was who Xia Hong was willing to listen to.

"Your Majesty obeys your command."

Xia Hong stood up with the help of the chief eunuch, his dignified face seemed exhausted by what was happening before him.

"Today, the Crown Prince's wedding has caused such a mess. The Crown Princess has suffered a lot of injustice. Send the two jade ruyis that I treasure to me tomorrow."

"Your Highness, I thank you for your grace on behalf of your father."

Xia Hong's eyes fell on the foreign envoys around him, and he seemed to have regrets: "It's a rare opportunity for you envoys to come to our Celestial Empire, but..."

Hesitant to speak, Shen Jinmo continued the conversation very naturally.

"The envoys have come to our Heavenly Dynasty to celebrate the joy of the Eastern Palace. I am sorry that we have not entertained you well enough today. Your 100th birthday will be in half a month. Why don't you invite the envoys to enjoy the mountains and rivers of Great Xia with you?"

"allow."

He bent down and helped Xia Ling up, and then said, "I will leave this matter to you and Wang Heng to arrange. I believe that the prince will not let me down."

The Wanshou Southern Tour, which had always been managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Shen Jinmo, was now being personally managed by Xia Ling. How could this not be considered a favor from Xia Hong?

Xia Ling, who had been worried about how to seize the opportunity to travel south, felt like good luck had fallen from heaven.

These foreign envoys noticed Xia Hong's preference and showed even more respect to Xia Ling.

The emperor left the East Palace under the escort of the imperial guards. Xia Hong sat on the imperial sedan chair, with Shen Jinmo and Xia Yu standing on his left and right sides respectively.

With a doting sigh, Xia Hong reached out and patted Xia Yu's head: "Why is my little Jiu unhappy?"

The tears that had not been shed when I was wronged, flowed down because of this sentence of comfort.

"Tell me whoever wronged you, and I'll chop off their heads for you."

Pretending to be strong, Xia Yu wiped away the tears in his eyes with his sleeves and choked up, "Father knew everything that happened today."

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago."

He handed his handkerchief to Xia Yu and said, "I know every word the Queen said to your mother when she met her."

"It would be impossible for these court officials to bring the sharp blades into the palace without my tacit consent."

Xia Yu lowered his head, his teeth grinding, "Father, don't you believe me?"

"Silly child, if you didn't believe it, you would have died under Wang Heng's sword long ago."

"You are the son of me and my eldest sister-in-law, so I should treat you differently. After tonight, who in this court, including the civil and military officials and foreign countries, doesn't know that my little nine is both loyal and filial?"

"My eldest sister-in-law and I are both proud of Xiaojiu."

Both Xia Ling and Xia Yu lost something and gained something tonight.

They restrained each other and complemented each other. Xia Hong, as the father, thought he had done an excellent job.

"When these envoys see brothers killing each other, will they have other thoughts?"

Xia Hong curled his lips slowly and said, "I will let them be destroyed in the same way they were born."

The purpose of summoning the envoys was not to congratulate but to intimidate.

This Da Xia is his, Xia Hong's Da Xia. Let alone these foreign and small countries, even if it is his own son, if he causes any trouble, he will pay with his life.
