Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

The king of Jin knelt on the ground, raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the emperor with a sad face: "Father, you should know what kind of person this son is, and son admits that you have been with your eldest brother all these years. Fighting made my father worry a lot, but my ministers always remember my father's teachings, brothers can fight, but they will never do anything that will harm the Dali dynasty."

The emperor narrowed his eyes sharply, and a deep disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Third son, I really misjudged you. I thought that although you were a little cautious, you were still a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be a complete one. A villain through and through!"

How could he say such a thing without shame after breaking the embankment and harming so many people?

"Father, if you say this, you are forcing my son to die?" King Jin's complexion turned pale, and as soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes. , always wanting to follow the example of my father and do things that are beneficial to the people and the court, but my father thinks that my son is a villain, such an assertion, what face does my son have to live in the world?"

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, unwilling to look at King Jin's expression again: "Since you don't want to admit it, then I will ask you personally. The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and the officials of Linjiang City confessed that they checked the salt tax last time. After that, I donated a total of nearly three million taels of silver to you, is this true?"

"No, it's completely nonsense."

"Someone even confessed that the reason why Linjiang broke the embankment was that you wanted to destroy the evidence of falsified salt tax account books and tax money. Is this true?"

"No, my son doesn't know anything about it."

"If you don't admit to these two things, then you won't admit to the beggar's Tibetan silver case in the capital." The emperor turned and sat back on the throne, looking at Jin Wang indifferently: "This is the end of the matter, I am here I don't want to talk to you anymore, I just ask you, are you guilty?"

King Jin panicked: "Father, my son doesn't know what's wrong, so please tell me clearly."

"Didn't you say it before? After I made the decree, you were supposed to return to the capital with King Ling, but you stayed in Jingling City for several days. It was clear that you did not obey the decree."

King Jin's heart couldn't stop sinking: "Father, the reason why my son and minister stayed in Linjiang City is to help Lord Qi complete the matter of cutting and straightening Linjiang. The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River will come at any time When it comes, when the heavy rain pours down, the embankment of Linjiang will definitely not be able to hold, and this minister is also thinking of the people of Linjiang City..."

"I don't care who you are thinking about, I only know that after receiving the order, you disobeyed and disrespected me, which is already a great disrespect to me. Could it be that you are not even willing to admit the crime you said?"

King Jin tightly clenched his fists, looked up at the emperor's icy expression, and felt a chill in his heart: "I'm...willing to admit it."

"That's good. You are my son after all. I won't kill you, but death is inevitable, and life is inevitable. If you disobey the order, I will remove your title of King Jin and confine you to the place where you live now." Mansion, without my will, you are not allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to visit!"

King Jin couldn't help trembling all over his body: "Father, are you going to imprison the minister?"

"Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a capital offense. I just imprisoned you as an extrajudicial mercy. I exempted you from the title of prince, but the rules and servants who serve will not be exempted. From now on... you can do it yourself. "

King Jin couldn't help his eyes turning red: "Father, why do you treat my son like this? I think that since I took over the errand as an adult, I have done everything that my father told me seriously, even if it is the emperor Brother is suppressed, and I have been trying my best to bear it. Is what I have done for so many years worthless in the eyes of my father? Brother Dahuang is narrow-minded, and you can tolerate him many times. This time he went to Jiangnan completely. You don't care about the life and death of the people, you can say that you have done nothing, you didn't punish him, but you punished me, is it because your mother and concubine came from a humble background?"

King Jin couldn't help screaming out the thoughts in his heart, and then propped his hands on the ground, tears fell down.

The emperor looked at him coldly, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he returned to a calm state: "Third son, my family background is also not high, and it is because I know this kind of suffering, so I have treated you and your mother for so many years. The concubine is extremely doted on. If you use your background to talk about things, then I will ask you, have you been bullied by slaves in the harem because of your mother and concubine's low background? Your imperial brother taunted you with words, but everything I know will Punish them, but one fall? You can only see the bad things others have done to you, but you can't remember the kindness others have shown you."

"Father, your kindness to my son, I will always remember it in my heart."

"Go down, I don't want to see you again."

King Jin clenched his fists and his heart heaved uncontrollably: "Royal father, my son is not convinced. If you want to imprison me, I will accept it, but I also ask father to explain the reason and my son. Speak clearly, so that my son will understand."

The emperor picked up the booklet on the table and threw it directly in front of King Jin: "Look for yourself."

The king of Jin picked up the memorial and browsed it quickly, and his face became paler after reading it: "Father, my ministers don't know why those beggars hide money on their bodies, and they didn't instruct them to smuggle tax money into Beijing. Someone is deliberately framed , Father, please be careful."

"Those people have already confessed that they were instigated by you behind the scenes. I have also had people verify that your two uncles and the staff in the mansion did have contact with them."

"How is it possible?" King Jin shook his head hastily. The salt tax was not handed over to the government at all, but was sent directly to the capital in the form of silver bills, so there would be no beggars hiding money in the capital. This is clearly someone Framed on purpose! Could it be that King Ling who came to taunt him, King Jin suddenly raised his head, "Father, my son knows that all of this was arranged by the elder brother. We have been fighting for so many years, and he has long since disliked me and has a grudge against me!" In my heart, I will use the Li family and my two uncles to fabricate evidence to frame me while I am not in Kyoto this time."

"Framed?" The emperor sneered, these things have already been verified by the Shadow Guards, yet King Jin still refused to admit it, "Okay, if you say framed, do you have evidence?"

King Jin thought quickly: "Father, the salt tax, tax and bank are very important, and the amount is huge. If the Li family wants to raise such a large amount of money, it is impossible to be flawless. As long as someone investigates the Li family, they will definitely be able to find clues. "

"Third brother, the seized silver taels are not tens or hundreds of thousands of taels, but more than two million taels. Do you think the Li family has the ability to raise so much silver taels in a short period of time to frame you?"

King Jin opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips. He couldn't tell the truth of the matter, because now that the salt tax and silver bills were gone, his father would think that he was trying to get rid of his crimes if he said it. Let Ling Wang and the Li family find an opportunity to bite back.

What should I do? What on earth should he do?
