The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 165: It’s not appropriate to just say one thing!

Qin Yun took her arm around her slender waist and looked at the night through the window.

"I really hope that one day, all the conspiracies and villains behind the scenes will be eliminated."

Concubine Xiao Shu leaned her head on his shoulder, her face calm and gentle, and comforted him: "Your Majesty is wise and is an emperor of all ages. This day will definitely not be far away. I will pray for Your Majesty in the harem."

An ancient emperor?

Qin Yun laughed. It turned out to be his wife. He felt embarrassed by the compliments.

He rubbed her waist and said, "I do want to, but the process will be very long. Not long ago, I just ordered the detention of the Ninth Prince Qin Yuan, and he will be executed soon!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shufei's face showed surprise.

She raised her head and opened her beautiful eyes wide: "Your Majesty, killing the Ninth Prince, this..."

"What's wrong? Even you think I don't have the power?" Qin Yun frowned, thinking that even Concubine Xiao Shu was so surprised, not to mention the civil and military officials in the court.

Concubine Xiao Shu frowned and looked at Qin Yun in a dilemma, "Xiang'er is a woman, she doesn't understand government affairs, and she shouldn't interfere."

"But speaking of this, Xiang'er still wants to remind Your Majesty that if you kill the Ninth Prince and set a precedent in the dynasty, I'm afraid that princes from all over the country will not be convinced by Your Majesty in the future."

Qin Yun frowned; "I understand this, but I can't stand it this time!"

"Not only does he have an army, he even dares to send evil monks from outside the region to attack you! For this, even exterminating his entire family would not be enough to vent my anger!"

Concubine Xiao Shufei felt his arms around her getting tighter, and her heart felt warm.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, Xiang'er still hopes that you can handle this matter in the most rational way. For Xiang'er, the loss is too great and it's not worth it."

"Besides, isn't Xiang'er fine?"

Qin Yun frowned, his anger still lingering.

"No, who dares to touch my woman? Even if you have the slightest thought about it, you must die!"

Seeing his determination, Concubine Xiao sighed inwardly. As a woman, it was not convenient for her to continue to persuade him. Besides, what happened today was too vicious, even she was extremely angry.

"Or... Xiang'er, let big brother be the bad guy?" Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she suggested wisely.

After all, the Ninth Prince and Qin Yun are nominal brothers. If Qin Yun's hands are stained with his brother's blood, he will be blamed by future generations, even if the fault is with the Ninth Prince.

But it’s different if it’s done by human hands.

Qin Yun's eyes lit up. This was a good idea!

But then, he frowned slightly: "No, it's too fake, and it's too unfair to your brother."

"Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Jian is my favorite minister. Besides, you Xiao family can't be blamed for this. Your Xiao family is already in a difficult position because of me."

"After a hundred years, how can the royal family not be hostile to the Xiao family?"

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu's pretty face turned pale. She didn't think so much.

"Then your majesty, are you really going to personally order the killing of the Ninth Prince?"

Qin Yun suddenly grinned and said meaningfully: "Let's see the situation. This matter is not easy."

"But Xiang'er just reminded me that killing someone with a borrowed knife is the best strategy!"

Boo!

After he finished speaking, he hugged Concubine Xiao Shufei tightly and kissed her on her red lips, almost making them swollen.

Concubine Xiao Shufei's face was full of shyness, and she stopped asking about the Ninth Prince.

The two of them snuggled together, like a couple of gods, a perfect match.

Qin Yun held the beauty in his arms, looking at the night outside the window, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

The next day.

The entire imperial capital was shaken. The news that the Ninth Prince’s house was raided late at night spread like wings and spread into the streets and alleys!

One by one, the ministers dressed in court robes walked into the Xuanwu Gate with different feelings.

Even the harem was affected. Qin Yun got up from the soft bed, and the maids who served him were all very cautious.

The Tai Chi Hall is particularly solemn today.

Qin Yun walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe and looking extremely majestic.

"Everyone, please stand up!"

Everyone was together, and Wei Zheng could no longer hold back his excitement. He stood up, frowned, and asked, "Your Majesty, why was the Ninth Prince's house raided last night?"

Qin Yun waved his hand: "You will all know in a moment."

"Bring some people up!"

The ministers looked back and saw the kind-looking but embarrassed evil monk Canghua being dragged in.

Even some ministers who were Buddhists knew him!

"Hey, isn't this Master Canghua?"

"I once exchanged Buddhist teachings with the master of Chaotian Temple. He is well-known in the Western Regions and has many Buddhist disciples!"

"Why is he in such a mess? Could it be related to the Ninth Prince's house being confiscated?"

All the ministers looked at each other.

When the old monk Canghua saw Qin Yun's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but kneel down.

Qin Yun's face was grim: "Canghua, tell me all the bad things you have done over the years, and let the ministers hear them!"

"See whether I should raid the Ninth Prince's house or execute him!"

Execute Lao Jiu. These four words shook the Taiji Hall.

All the ministers were shocked!

There is only one crime that can get the prince killed.

The old monk Zanghua was under a lot of pressure. Facing each pair of eyes, he slowly told everyone what had happened.

From the poison of the Datura flower to yesterday's attempt to do something bad to Concubine Xiao Shufei, and according to Qin Yun's instructions, he insisted that the mastermind behind this was the Ninth Prince Qin Yuan.

During the process, all the ministers were shocked!

First, I was shocked that this seemingly righteous monk turned out to be such an evil monk.

The second is to be shocked by the Ninth Prince!

He was so low-key, so low-key that many ministers could not remember him. It was not until the news spread this morning that everyone remembered this person.

And Lao Jiu is actually rebelling!

Duke Dou, who rushed to the court upon hearing the news, bowed.

"Your Majesty, this evil monk has committed many evil deeds, and his words cannot be trusted! If you convict the Ninth Prince based on only one side of the story, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate!"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes. Duke Dou was over seventy years old and almost ready to be buried. Yet he wanted to meet the emperor today. It was obvious that he wanted to protect Old Nine.

And he is the elder of Dou Ji's clan, so it seems that Dou Ji is helping Lao Jiu.

He was unhappy and said calmly, "Ironclad evidence is also called one-sided testimony. Then what do you think can be used to convict, Lord Dou?"

Duke Dou's hair was white, and he was shaking, but he was full of energy and said, "Your Majesty, how can such a confession be called ironclad evidence?"

"Since this evil monk said that the Ninth Prince ordered him to do so, then I would like to ask, what evidence do you have to prove it? Do you have any letters? Do you have any financial transactions?"

"I even suspect that this evil monk was slandering others before his death, which only made things more conspicuous!"

"Hmph!" Duke Dou snorted coldly at Canghua.

The old monk Canghua's face turned pale. He really didn't have these things. He subconsciously looked at Qin Yun for help.

And Duke Dou's words also won the approval of many ministers. After all, the prince was not an ordinary person and might be framed!

Qin Yun had anticipated this a long time ago. Unless Qin Yuan was caught and a knife was placed on his neck, these ministers with vested interests involved would not show any mercy!

"Your Majesty, I also think that the matter of the Ninth Prince needs to be investigated!"

"I second this proposal. This will only make the princes of various places uneasy and will be detrimental to the rule of the court!"

Wei Zheng also stood neutral, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, aren't you being too hasty in arresting people? This matter should be tried by the three courts before making a decision."
