Chapter 498: No greeting?
Chapter 498: No greeting?
When the gentlemen heard Princess Anguo's confession of guilt, they just thought that the princess was a little too arrogant.
When the emperor issues an edict of repentance, it is equivalent to admitting his mistakes.
For the emperor, that would be recorded by the historians and passed down from generation to generation. Once it was passed down, it would inevitably be brought up for comment and criticism from generation to generation.
The consequences are really too serious.
Besides, how could the emperor be wrong?
Even if there really was a mistake, it was someone else's fault, not his.
Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of emperors who have issued edicts of repentance. Moreover, they were only made when they were forced into a last resort.
However, their emperor agreed so easily.
If this face was correct, would the adults suspect that the emperor they were loyal to had changed?
"My dear brother, you are the ruler of a country and you can correct your mistakes. Then the crimes of others should be investigated to the end. Do you think this is right?"
"That's natural. That's natural."
"It should, it should."
"Princess Anguo is right."
All these adults agreed submissively.
They finally realized how powerful Princess Anguo was.
Although the princess was newly conferred, her style of doing things in a decisive manner is not new at all. It seems as if she was such a person in her previous life and has never forgotten it in this life.
"What you gentlemen have in your hands, in addition to the autobiography of Lord Min Zhicai, is also the evidence of why we lost the battle of Yicheng that year."
"The evidence was provided by a man named Ma Yuan. He used to be my husband's subordinate. Unfortunately, he couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed my husband and Dachen. Fortunately, at the last moment, he found his conscience and left these evidences."
"These evidences are sufficient to prove that Yicheng was sold to Dayan by our King Huai. The purpose was just to make my brother's position unstable so that he could take advantage of the opportunity."
"If the people in the General's Mansion had not paid a heavy price, our Dachen might have changed hands three years ago."
This news was too explosive.
Except for a few parties involved, everyone else was shocked.
"In addition to the physical evidence, this princess also has a witness. Bring the witness up here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Si walked into the hall with a man who looked not in good spirits.
This person is Chen Cang who has been locked in a secret room.
"Who is this?"
Some adults had doubts about this witness.
This kind of conspiracy to usurp the throne does not seem to be related to the person in front of me.
"This man is a killer kept in Prince Huai's mansion. A few months ago, he entered the general's mansion to assassinate someone. However, he was not very skilled and was caught by me."
"The person he entered the General's Mansion to kill was not me, but Ma Yuan's widow who was staying at the General's Mansion."
The more they listened, the more confused they became. How did this bring up another widow?
"Someone discovered the things that Ma Yuan left behind. They thought the things would be in the hands of his widow, so they wanted to kill her and take the things back. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Ma Yuan was smarter than they thought. How could he give such a life-threatening thing to his wife and children, who were the most important to him?"
"The things that Ma Yuan left behind are now in the hands of you gentlemen?"
"Chen Cang, I see your old master. Why don't you say hello?"
