Chapter 218: The Fall of Prince Yun's Mansion
Seeing that Su Kang knew nothing and was still willing to let Fu Jingrong go to see his young lady, Mei'er's eyes suddenly turned red.
All the dissatisfaction and grievances seemed to have found an outlet, "Master, the prince has a childhood sweetheart who has come to the capital."
Su Kang was completely unaware that Fu Jingrong had a childhood sweetheart. When he saw Mei'er's appearance, his first reaction was whether his daughter had suffered any injustice.
Then Su Kang recalled that Fu Jingrong had always looked like he had no temper no matter what he said, and he became furious.
"Good boy, you dare to lie to me."
No wonder she refused to listen to anything he said and refused to leave. It turned out that she came here to "apologize for her crime".
...
The hot sunshine filled the entire Luojing land.
When Su Kang was feeling upset because Fu Jingrong had a childhood sweetheart.
There was someone who was much more depressed than him.
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
Prince Yun, who had been ordered to reflect on his actions behind closed doors in his mansion for several days, once again knelt in fear and trepidation beneath the imperial desk.
"I beg the emperor to see clearly and clear my name."
As early as when Lady Yong'an struck the drum to report the incident early in the morning, Prince Yun already had a bad premonition.
However, just before he was summoned into the palace by the Emperor, he discovered that the people he had hidden in the palace had been dealt with by Emperor Mingqing as early as when the people from the Marquis of Changping's Mansion were imprisoned.
If his daughter was still...
Wouldn't he be so passive?
But there is no point in thinking about these things now. He has already become a suspect. If he does not clear himself of the suspicion in time, he will really be labeled as an "accomplice" of the Changping Marquis' Mansion this time.
Something could happen to him, but it must not happen at this critical juncture.
If he had delayed a little longer...
Delay a little longer...
Looking at Emperor Ming Qing again, during this period, he seemed to be hit hard by the deaths of the third prince and the sixteenth prince.
Although he looked energetic, he gave off a sense of decadence.
If the mental fluctuations are a little bit bigger, the cough will not stop, and in serious cases, even coughing up blood.
Like this moment.
"Prince Yun, what else do you have to say now?"
Emperor Ming Qing tightly grasped the handkerchief that he had just used to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he wished he could stare a hole through Prince Yun.
Prince Yun knew that this was his only chance to defend himself.
No matter how stern the Emperor Ming Qing's eyes were, he still faced the challenge head on, looking directly into the Emperor Ming Qing's eyes, his eyes full of the awe of being ready to die, "Your Majesty, if you want to accuse me, you can always find a pretext.
When the bandits were wiped out, everyone in the court knew about it. The Ministry of Justice collected all the bandits' supplies in the mountains, and everyone knew that their clothes, shoes and hats were placed in the Dali Temple as evidence. If someone wanted to use these things to steal the stolen goods and frame someone, why would they bother to do so? "
Prince Yun's words were simple, but if you think about it, you will know that the only people who can easily enter the Ministry of Justice and do it without anyone noticing are the Vice Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice and people from the Dali Temple.
The Vice Minister and the Minister of Justice were the confidants of Emperor Mingqing, and Gu Xiuyan had just been reinstated as the Minister of the Supreme Court. After being arrested by the entire Changping Marquis's residence, Emperor Mingqing asked someone else to take his place because he was seriously ill in bed...
It is obvious that Prince Yun wants to muddy the waters in the court.
Seeing through Prince Yun's thoughts, Emperor Ming Qing sneered, "Is it the thief crying thief?"
As soon as Emperor Mingqing said this, Prince Yun's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, whenever Emperor Ming Qing heard his explanation, he would more or less pause and think carefully. But today, when he heard it, instead of thinking about it, he sneered.
This is something unprecedented.
A feeling of uneasiness spread from Prince Yun's heart.
Just when he wanted to use some old friendship to "appeal to the emotions" and "persuade the emperor with reason" to show how loyal he was, Emperor Ming Qing took the initiative to throw a memorial on his head.
"You are such a bastard that you even dare to covet Su Kang's wife. Prince Yun, have I really been too lenient with you over the years, causing you to forget your actual position?"
Emperor Ming Qing even knew that he coveted Su Kang's wife! !
Prince Yun became even more panicked.
No one knew about this except his confidants.
A face suddenly flashed through Prince Yun’s mind, but he quickly denied it.
No.
impossible.
Over the years, he can be said to have given him a second life.
There was no way he could do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Prince Yun cried out again, "Others don't understand me, but doesn't Your Majesty understand me either? Your Majesty, I am a playboy and a scoundrel, but I was also brought up with etiquette and morality since I was a child. I know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. Although I am a playboy, I am definitely not the kind of lowly person who covets other people's wives..."
Emperor Mingqing obviously didn't want to listen any more, and he threw another stack of letters at Prince Yun's face.
"I already know that you secretly colluded with the Second Prince to kill the Third Prince and colluded with foreign nations to harm loyal officials and betray the entire Yuan Dynasty. Don't try to make excuses. The more you try to make excuses, the more disgusting it will make me feel."
Emperor Mingqing had already heard about what Prince Yun had done over the years.
However, Emperor Mingqing still chose to turn a blind eye, not because he was so magnanimous, but because, after all, he and Prince Yun had some connection.
When he was in a weak position, he was able to maintain his position until now thanks to the help of King Yun.
A long time ago, he and Prince Yun had been uncle, teacher and friend for a period of time, but good things are easy to fade away after all.
No matter how strong the feelings are, they will be erased by the torrent of time and things and people will no longer be the same.
In the past few years, he had lost count of how many messes he had settled for Concubine Xian. No matter how much favor Prince Yun had shown him, he had now repaid it.
As far as today's situation is concerned, even if the emperor comes, he cannot save Prince Yun.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ming Qing’s attitude became more resolute.
When Prince Yun saw Emperor Mingqing speaking with such an expression, he thought to himself that something was not good.
Just when he was about to crawl to the feet of Emperor Ming Qing regardless of everything, Emperor Ming Qing spoke faster than he moved.
"Someone is coming."
The royal guards who had been prepared and waiting outside entered the palace and surrounded Prince Yun.
Emperor Mingqing slowly turned around and stopped looking at Prince Yun.
"Drag Prince Yun away."
After a pause, he added, "Throw him into the Heavenly Prison, but don't let Prince Yun die first."
The prison...
Once he enters the prison, it basically proves his guilt...
Prince Yun's eyes were dim and he fell to the ground helplessly.
The imperial edict came down from the palace very quickly, and in an instant, Prince Yun’s mansion was in chaos.
All the beautiful wives and concubines of Prince Yun's mansion were taken to the prison of the Jingji County Government. The servants either escaped or were caught.
These days, first the entire Changping Marquis's Mansion was imprisoned, and then the Yunwang Mansion was implicated for colluding with the North, implicating dozens of officials of all ranks, and the Tianlao prison did not even have enough space to detain people.
For a while, the court was in panic.
For Su Kang, this incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
While all the officials in the court were living in fear, Su Kang and his family had a rare moment of peace and quiet.
In the evening, Su Kang went to the back garden to "plot" with Su Sui'an under the pretext of "taking a walk after dinner".
Seeing Su Sui'an brewing tea in an elegant manner, Su Kang sighed with genuine satisfaction.
"The Prince Yun's Mansion is completely finished this time. I can rest assured now."
God knows, after he found out that Prince Yun had coveted his wife a few days ago, he couldn't eat or sleep well every day.
Now that the matter of Prince Yun's mansion being raided has been settled, Su Kang can finally put his mind at ease.
You know, Prince Yun had a very good relationship with the emperor when he was still a prince, which is why Prince Yun's mansion has enjoyed wealth and privileges over the years.
If it weren't for the serious crime of treason, the emperor would not have been willing to take action against Prince Yun's mansion...
Regardless of whether Prince Yun was a traitor or not, his usual actions had already offended many of his colleagues.
Now that the emperor has taken action against Prince Yun's mansion, I am afraid that it won't be long before all of Prince Yun's previous crimes of tyranny will be exposed. If Prince Yun wants to make a comeback, he will have to make contributions to the Yuan Dynasty that can rival the founding of the country.
Prince Yun couldn't turn the tables, so he posed no threat to Su Kang.
If there is anything else that worries him, it's probably...
