Chapter 215 Gu Jinyun is imprisoned
This happened in the imperial court, and the murderer could kill people without any scruples, but no one in the court reacted. If the other party did not want to kill Gu Jinhui, but wanted to kill Emperor Chengxuan, he would probably be dead by now.
"There are assassins...protecting the emperor..."
It took a while before someone reacted. Everyone stood in front of Emperor Chengxuan, but there was no movement outside the hall.
"A bunch of useless trash. The assassins have already left. What's the point of them coming to protect the emperor now?"
Emperor Chengxuan pushed away all the civil and military officials in the city and glared at Gu Jinyun who was still kneeling on the ground and unable to get up.
"Loyal and Brave Marquis, do you have any rebuttal to the accusation made by the second son of the Gu family?"
"Your Majesty, I have never done anything like this, and these letters have nothing to do with me."
Faced with life and death, Gu Jinyun slowly found his voice and knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, my second brother must be dissatisfied with me taking the position of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. These days, Madam has made some small adjustments to their lives, so he holds a grudge and uses those non-existent letters to frame me..."
Seeing that Gu Jinyun's words were becoming more and more fluent, if he continued to speak, maybe he could make the matter go away.
Several other princes and their supporters stepped forward and asked Emperor Chengxuan to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The collusion between the prince and foreign enemies is no trivial matter. Emperor Chengxuan certainly cannot just believe Gu Jinhui's one-sided statement and sentence Gu Jinyun to death.
However, no one in the court stood up to say a word for Gu Jinyun. No matter who he entrusted the matter to, he would not feel at ease.
"Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught..."
Just then, a guard came running in to report.
"Who dares to attack and assassinate so boldly? Bring him in."
As Emperor Chengxuan's order came down, a burly man with a full beard was tied up by two guards and pushed into the hall.
It was obvious at first glance that the tied man was not a commoner from Daliang State, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked at him.
After the big man was forced to kneel on the ground by two guards, Emperor Chengxuan asked sternly, "Who are you? Why did you want to assassinate the second son of the Gu family?"
“My name is Daerha, and I was seen discussing matters with the eldest prince of your dynasty a few days ago by the second son of the Gu family.
The eldest prince promised me that he would lock up the second son and never spread the news. Who knew that the second son would rather crawl through a dog hole to tip off the dog emperor like you? In order to avoid being exposed further, I, Daerha, will naturally kill him immediately. "
Having said that, Dalha looked at Emperor Chengxuan with a sneer.
"Emperor Daliang, now that I am in your hands, I have no intention of living. Don't even think about getting any information out of me."
After Dalha finished speaking, without waiting for other people in the hall to react, he used his Qinggong skills to slam his head heavily into the pillar of the hall. His brain burst instantly and he was deader than dead.
Most of those present were civil servants. They had never seen such a brutal scene before and retreated in fear, looking at Emperor Chengxuan for help.
Emperor Chengxuan looked at Gu Jinyun, who was kneeling on the ground in an equally dumbfounded state, and sighed softly.
There is Dalha's testimony and Gu Jinhui's written evidence in this matter. In addition, all the civil and military officials in the court have lost confidence in Gu Jinyun. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot save him.
Of course, he is his son no matter what, and his cousin has done so much for him, he can't let anything happen to him.
"Cough cough cough..."
Emperor Chengxuan cleared his throat, and when all the civil and military officials in the court looked at him, he ordered: "The evidence is irrefutable that the eldest prince Gu Jinyun has colluded with foreign enemies. Imprison the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion along with everyone else. No one is allowed to leave."
Upon hearing Emperor Chengxuan's verdict, Gu Jinyun collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
It's over, he will never have the chance to get close to that position again in his life.
"puff……"
His body was not in perfect health to begin with, and at this moment he could no longer withstand the pain and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, and Gu Jinyun fainted instantly.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has fainted..."
When the chief eunuch saw Gu Jinyun fainted, he hurried over to check his breath. After confirming that he was still breathing, he looked up at Emperor Chengxuan.
As the chief eunuch's voice fell, all the civil and military officials in the court also looked at Emperor Chengxuan.
Emperor Chengxuan looked at Gu Jinyun who had fainted on the ground reluctantly, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Have someone send him back to the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion, and never let him step out of the gate for the rest of his life."
"Yes!"
As Emperor Chengxuan's order came down, the two guards who had just brought Dalha in carried him out of the hall.
As Gu Jinyun was carried away, all the officials returned to their original positions and waited for Emperor Chengxuan's verdict on them.
No one had said a word in favor of Gu Jinyun just now. Even if Emperor Chengxuan wanted to take advantage of the situation and punish a few people, he had no excuse, and naturally he could not vent his anger on other people.
He swept his eyes around the hall, and after instructing people to throw the two bodies on the ground into a mass grave in the suburbs, he ordered people to continue attending court.
It was unprecedented that a prince was imprisoned without anyone else being implicated. However, everyone knew that Emperor Chengxuan was in a bad mood and were happy to let the matter pass.
Compared to other people, Liu Lanqi was so angry that he spat out blood after knowing that Gu Jinyun was imprisoned and could not go out for the rest of his life. He was already unable to walk, and he completely collapsed on the bed.
Without Liu Lanqi's support, the Liu family fell completely into the hands of the two brothers Lin and Chen Ge'er. Even Tian and Aunt Tian stopped caring, not to mention other people.
Although she was in control of the entire Liu family, Lin couldn't be happy. Whenever she thought of her eldest daughter who drowned on New Year's Eve, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It wasn't until one day when Liu Tianshu met her outside the mansion that she came out of her sadness...
