After saying that, the man laughed again. "Oh, I forgot that the traitor killed his father and brother in the past, so he got the throne, but he didn't get the imperial seal. Although he has been looking for the whereabouts of the imperial seal in the past few years, he has never found it. How dare he prove himself in front of me? "
"Traitor?" Before Luo Qingyan could say anything, the curtain of the side hall was opened again. "Who are you talking about? You said you are a member of the Cao clan. Do you know that the Cao clan is the real traitor? How much money has the Cao clan corrupt, how many loyal ministers have they killed, and how many bad things have they done. You just hate me because I god rid of the Cao clan. I don't know how long you have planned before you came up with such a charge."
"Kill father and brother?" Xia Huanyu walked out of the side hall slowly, his face full of coldness. "At that time, the emperor was seriously ill, and the crown prince was in charge of dealing with the state affairs. At last, the crown prince died, and finally I ascended the throne. In the eyes of others, it was indeed strange, but I've been hiding the truth as I promised the crown prince. I have a letter written by the crown prince. Since someone raised such a doubt in front of everyone today, and my brother is no longer alive, for the sake of the stability of the State of Xia, I should tell the truth to everyone."
As Xia Huanyu spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve. "Han Mingqing, you and the crown prince Xia Chun were very close at that time, and you must be the most familiar with his handwriting. Come and check if the letter is written by him. If you are sure, read the contents of the letter to everyone."
Han Mingqing was surprised when his name was mentioned. Then he responded and walked out of the courtiers. Liu Wenan handed the letter to him. He took it and looked at the envelope. He was a little surprised and took out the letter. He looked at it carefully, but didn't say anything for a long time.
"Is this letter real or not?" Someone asked.
Han Mingqing hurriedly replied, "The handwriting on this letter is indeed the former crown prince's. I'll read it to everyone. Greetings. I knew that I don't have much time left. Recently, I noticed that Wenxi seemed to mind the matter of the Cao clan very much. There must be hatred in her heart. I am worried that things would change in the future and be unfavorable to you, so I wrote down what happened in the past for you to use when you need it. If Wenxi didn't do anything out of line, please continue to hide the secret."
After a pause, he continued, "In the 23rd year of Qian Ming, father was seriously ill and ordered me to deal with the state affairs. Although I was appointed as the crown prince because of my identity as the eldest prince, I don't like to be an emperor. I always admire freedom and want to do what I want to do. As long as my family is harmonious, I will be satisfied. I knew that my father's condition was bad, but I didn't want to ascend the throne, so I begged my brother Xia Huanyu to take over the throne and ascend the throne on my behalf. Then I went out of the Jin city with my family to settle down. My brother, Xia Huanyu, had always respected me. Although he didn't want to, he dared not refuse. After that, I pretended to be dead and lived in seclusion for nearly six years with my family. I was seriously ill and my body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, so I wrote all this down."
Xia Huanyu looked at Liu Yinfeng, who was standing at the head of the group of officials, and said indifferently, "Prince Xian also knew what happened that year. My brother came up with this idea because he was afraid that it would cause the displeasure of the courtiers who supported him at that time and cause some trouble. I have kept this secret for thirty years. No matter how others misunderstand it, I never say a word. Now, it's time for the truth to be known to the world."
Liu Yinfeng's face was also a little pale. "Yes, the truth was indeed like what His Former Majesty said."
The man sneered and said with determination, "The letter can be forged, and the testimonies can also be forged. You just need to take out the imperial seal and let everyone identify it together. Then we will know whether it is true or not. His Former Majesty, don't you dare?"
"Of course!" With a cold expression on his face, Xia Huanyu said, "You asked me to take out the imperial seal, then where is the so-called real imperial seal you mentioned? Since you don't take anything out even if you want to identify it, how can I know whether or not you have other intentions? "
The man smiled faintly and said, "Of course I will take out the real imperial seal. But please release Miss Cao the crown prince's wife. The real imperial seal is in her hand. DoesHis Former Majesty think that imprisioning her in the palace can prevent others from finding out that the imperial seal in your hand is fake?"
The hall was soon filled with noise. Luo Qingyan and Xia Huanyu didn't expect that he would mention Cao Wenxi like this.
With a colder look in his eyes, Xia Huanyu raised his voice and said, "What are you talking about? How could Cao Wenxi be in the palace? "
The man said unhurriedly, "His Former Majesty, don't lie. Our lady has been locked up in the palace by you for many days. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the palace to see if our lady is in the palace or not."
Neither Xia Huanyu nor Luo Qingyan spoke, but the man laughed. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? " When the hall was in a stalemate, another voice came, "Your Majesty, [;£ fl/P JaL ] from Weiyang Palace."
Luo Qingyan frowned and nodded, "Call her."
Qian Liu hurried in with an anxious look on her face, "Your Majesty, your majesty, something happened to her majesty."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan's face suddenly changed. He stood up and asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me, what happened to her majesty? "
