Chapter 117 The Salted Fish Princess Will Not Be Cannon Fodder (28)
Late at night, when there are the most guards around the study.
Seeing Jiang Xiong walking out, Luo Yang used the same method as last time to stun the guard behind the study, then luckily flew to the roof and sneaked into Jiang Xiong's study quietly.
At this moment, Jiang Lai was lying on the sofa in the bedroom, eating grapes, and asked in a leisurely manner.
"Did you get it?"
"Well, how could she not get it with Jiang Ling's help?"
"That's fine."
Murong Dun, who had just arrived at the General's Mansion early the next morning, was about to go back.
Before leaving, he reluctantly looked at Jiang Lai many times and asked her an inexplicable question.
"When you get better, how about we go to the south of the Yangtze River to settle down? There are beautiful flowers like spring all year round."
Jiang Lai looked at him with a smile and nodded.
"Okay, I'll bring my parents with me then."
Murong Dun's expression froze when he heard this, and after a few casual words, he was pushed into the carriage.
"You guessed it right, we went to the palace as expected. Do you think Murong Dun is a fool? Why doesn't he want to think about why Luo Yang asked him to do this kind of thing? In the original plot, he liked Luo Yang and silently helped her behind the scenes. He is not the only man who knows this.”
"Lick the dog."
"Then let him taste the feeling of licking until there is nothing left."
Don't tell me, little Pudding is still a little excited.
In the court hall, all the civil and military officials bowed in unison and retreated. Murong Dun stayed behind and entered the imperial study in the name of visiting his father.
After all, he was his biological son, and now he was disabled. No matter how much the emperor disliked him, he still listened patiently to what he had to say, and then took the note he handed over.
"The above is all evidence that the general colluded with officials from the DPRK and China, accepted bribes, and interacted with neighboring countries in an attempt to betray the country for glory. I would like my father to take a look at it."
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned and opened the thick book in front of him. After carefully reading each word and sentence, his originally calm face became increasingly ugly.
With a "bang" sound, the emperor slammed the table and stood up, looking at Murongdun solemnly.
"You found these things in the General's Mansion?!"
Murong Dun expected that the emperor would be angry, so he calmed down and said.
"Yes, I found this object in the study when I accompanied my wife to visit home. The general is my father-in-law. However, this incident not only harmed the people, but also endangered the safety of the country and the country. It was extremely bad, so I could only I must endure the pain and righteousness to kill my relatives, and report this matter to my father in time!”
The emperor looked at him with a sullen face and said nothing for a long time.
Murong Dun was staring at him so much that his back was sweating, and he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists.
"Father..."
"Have you read the content above?"
"Of course I have seen it."
Murong Dun looked at the emperor's face and suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did the emperor ask this? If the evidence is conclusive, shouldn't we go directly to the general's mansion? Why do we still ask him if he has read the things above?
After a while, the emperor sneered, threw the book directly into Murong Dun's face, and said angrily.
"Look at what's written above!"
Murong Dun quickly opened the folding book, and when he saw the contents on it, his hand holding the folding book could not help but tremble.
"This...how could this...no, father, this is different from what I saw before!"
There is no evidence of Jiang Xiong's collusion with officials to bribe each other. Instead, there is a list of detailed lists. The names of many officials are indeed written on them, but what follows are not huge bribes, but just ordinary gifts. , the time is also Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year and other festivals. Looking at it this way, it is a completely normal record of human relations.
The time goes back to a few years ago.
After so many years of collecting these things, it’s really not that much.
"You are really blind. Is this evidence of bribery?! Do you want to alienate the relationship between me and the general?! Did you know that the general just handed over the offer to resign and return to his hometown not long ago! You say that this kind of person wants to rebel ? He only has a few daughters, what kind of rebellion is he planning? ”
"Father...Father, listen to me, this story must have been changed. The general is definitely not innocent, and I suspect that the incident between the eldest princess and the consort was also related to him. If you don't believe me, please take someone with you." After searching the general’s study, I found that it was full of rare treasures, including silk and satin that are rare in the palace. I was definitely not wrong!”
"You dare to raise the princess?! Look at the discount you handed over, three thousand gold ingots! Three years ago, the prince-in-law could have given away three thousand gold ingots! He gave such a valuable thing to the general, but the general didn't take it and gave it back. Go back, why did he really think that I didn’t know about it? How dare you defend him for his treason! You are so stupid! You are an incurable loser!
Looking at the disabled and stupid son in front of him, the emperor was extremely disappointed. When he thought that he actually spoke good words for the rebels, he immediately felt that his son must have some hidden agenda.
Destroying the general is equivalent to deactivating one of his right arms. This shows the sinister intentions of Murong Dun!
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. Murong Dun's mother had been involved in the rebellion. He thought of his feelings and let the mother and son go. Now they came out to act as monsters and disturbed the peace of the court. He thought so He waved his hand and ordered on the spot.
"Take off his title of King Pingyin and demote him to a commoner. He will not be allowed to step into the palace again!!"
Murong Dun's face instantly turned pale, and most of his soul seemed to have been taken away. He sat slumped in the wheelchair for a long time and was speechless.
Common people...
That means he has nothing to do with the royal family.
The emperor no longer wants his son! He even stripped him of his noble status!
The news that King Pingyin was deposed soon spread throughout the capital.
All the princes, grandsons, and nobles are talking about this matter. After all, deposing the royal family is already a very serious punishment. So what did Murong Dun do to make His Majesty so angry?
According to the law, common people were not allowed to live within ten miles outside the capital, were not allowed to wear silk and satin, were not allowed to use noble titles, were not allowed to hire slaves, were not allowed to go out in carriages and sedan chairs, and were not allowed to engage in commercial transactions.
For the nobles, this kind of punishment only saves one more life than beheading.
It seems that Murong Dun must have violated His Majesty's taboo, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to become a useless prince.
The noble sons who had some dealings with Murong Dun before were all avoiding him, for fear that they would be implicated if they had anything to do with him.
No matter how poor the nobles are, they still have a title. Having a title means they have a salary. No matter how wealthy businessmen or local officials are away from home, they have to serve them respectfully. They will have someone to support them all their lives just waiting to die.
Murong Dun is in a miserable state now. He cannot take servants with him when he goes out. He hopes that his useless legs will never leave the house in this life. (End of chapter)
