The emperor's ascension ceremony has passed, and Emperor Xuanping's body is enough to support his daily attendance. Even if the ministers do not mention it, Emperor Xuanping should fulfill his promise and deal with the eldest prince and others who have been imprisoned for more than a year.

Emperor Xuanping had been thinking for a long time, and once he made up his mind, he would not hesitate.

On this day, after discussing political affairs with all the ministers, Emperor Xuanping suddenly said, "I want to go to the Tianzhu. I will meet the Marquis of Jinning, Zhenyuan, Duke Wei Guo, Duke Jingguo, Su Shangshu Mu, you four stay, let me go to Tianzhu later!"

Duke Wei Guo Jingguo Duke Su Shangshu was appointed as the minister of reign before the death of the late emperor, and was also the leader of civil and military officials. In addition, the Secretary of Mu of the Ministry of Justice, accompanied by the four of them, which shows that Emperor Xuanping's broad-mindedness is also obvious.

Duke of Wei Guo, Duke Jingguo looked at each other and bowed to him together.

Shangshu Su and Shangshu Mu also bowed.

After the scattered court, the four old ministers and Emperor Xuanping went to the Tianzhu together. As the commander of the imperial guards, He Qi led a group of imperial guards to accompany and guard them.

A group of people rushed to the prison.

Zhu Qijue, the son-in-law guarding the Heavenly Prison, led the guards to greet him, bowed and said loudly: "The last general will welcome the emperor."

Guarding the Heavenly Prison is a chore. You cannot leave a step without any action, and it is most likely to be hated. Zhu Qijue stayed for more than a year without saying a word. Emperor Xuanping was quite satisfied with his brother-in-law and helped Zhu Qijue up with his own hands: "Please get up with your son-in-law."

Zhu Qijue thanked the emperor for his grace. When he stood up, he quickly looked at He Qi.

He Qi nodded slightly.

Zhu Qijue immediately understood.

It seems that today we are going to interrogate the Hou of Jinning and Zhenyuan Hou.

...

The light in the prison was dim, and the sultry was mixed with an unknown stench, which smelled badly.

Compared with the Ministry of Justice, the Heavenly Prison in the Palace is better. At least, it is still clean and you can eat enough every day. Zhenyuanhou, who has been imprisoned for more than a year, each lost a lot of weight, with some food on his face and a listless spirit.

Both of them were locked in iron chains to prevent them from suddenly hurting people when they met the Holy Lord.

No one knows how much resentment the two of them have in their hearts. However, they can't tell from the surface.

The two knelt down together and gave a full tribute: "The guilty minister has met the emperor."

Emperor Xuanping glanced and said lightly: "Jinning Hou Zhenyuanhou got up and replied, there is no need to kneel down."

There is no warmth in the tone.

Only after sitting on the dragon throne did he realize that the heights were cold. He could not be merciful and ruthless in his position. If he had to stop, there would be endless troubles in the future. Therefore, he had to take this opportunity to severely punish the Zhenyuan Hou of Jinning.

The Hou of Jinning and Zhenyuanhou were already ready to die. The two of them neither cursed nor knelt down and cried and begged for mercy. After thanking the emperor for his grace, they stood up together.

With this movement, the iron chains on the wrists and ankles rustled.

He Qi pressed his right hand on the hilt of his waist, and his eyes were coldly staring at Jinning Hou Zhenyuanhou.

Zhenyuan Hou of Jinning smiled bitterly in his heart.

They were locked up for more than a year without being hungry, and each had two illnesses. No matter how good they were, they could not help but be so soft. Not to mention that they were locked by thick iron chains, even if they had no iron chains, they did not have the ability to suddenly assassinate the emperor under the noses of He Qi and others.

Furthermore, they want to save their tribe's lives and let their children and grandchildren escape this disaster. How dare they do anything to defeat the death penalty?

Under the attention of everyone, Jinning Hou Zhenyuan waited slowly on the chair.

Emperor Xuanping sat three meters away, and Duke Wei Guo Jingguo Su Shangshu Mu also sat down on both sides of Emperor Xuanping. It also had the intention of a three-court trial.

The person who was interrogating today was the emperor. Four important officials came to the trial, so there was no need to open their mouths for the time being. Just listen with your ears.

"Marquis of Jinning," Emperor Xuanping pointed out the name of Marquis of Jinning: "I ask you, on the way that day, the Pei family left Beijing and encountered a group of bandits. Those bandits were pretended by the secret guards of the Zheng family, right?"

Over the past year, Emperor Xuanping has not been idle and has already secretly asked someone to investigate the Zheng and Wei families. This investigation is a pile of deadly black materials.

The face of Jinning Hou turned pale, but he did not deny: "Yes."

Duke Wei Guo Jingguo was all disgusted and whispered: "Bastard!"

One whispered: "Don't be fooled!"

Emperor Xuanhe had already found out that the incident was done by the Marquis of Jinning. He was concerned about the eldest prince and the fourth prince, so he let it go.

Emperor Xuanping's expression did not move and continued to ask: "On that day, the eldest brother and the fourth brothers joined forces to assassinate me. The Marquis of Jinning knows about this! Those three sharp and unparalleled daggers were given to the Emperor's brother privately by the Marquis of Jinning. Is it right?"

The Jin Ning Hou's face turned pale again and replied in a low voice: "Yes, the guilty minister deserves to die."

It's all this to this point, and it's really meaningless to argue.

Since Emperor Xuanping was so sure, there were naturally evidences. Everything he had done was traces. After ordering a strict investigation, everything could be found clearly.

Emperor Xuanping continued to say lightly: "The Great Emperor's Brother Fourth Emperor is your nephew. Over the years, you have been secretly planning and working for the Great Emperor's Brother, hoping that the Great Emperor's Brother will be made the crown prince. The father passed away and went west. The Great Emperor's brother had the will to kill me during the period of his father's death. Although you have not taken action, you know this."

Hearing this, the Marquis of Jinning was already as depressed as earth.

Emperor Xuanping said coldly: "Marty of Jinning, you are a good general of the Great Chu and have made great contributions to the court. But you are too selfish and have made many big mistakes of disobedience. I have been imprisoned for more than a year, and from today on, I have cut off your title and given you a glass of poisonous wine. The Zheng family is exiled to the border."

"Are you convinced of this kind of treatment?"

The Marquis of Jinning was full of sadness and obscureness, and perhaps, there was endless regret.

His lips moved, and it took him a long time to spit out a few words: "The criminal was convinced and willing to die. Thank you for saving the life of the Zheng family."

Emperor Xuanping did not kill the whole Zheng family and destroyed it, which was very kind.

Furthermore, Zheng Qinghuai and He Qi had a good relationship. The Zheng family was exiled to the border and went to the He family's territory to survive. In the future, He Qi inherited his title and became the chief general of the border, and he could also take care of the Zheng family.

Emperor Xuanping looked at Zhenyuan Hou again: "Zhenyuan Hou, you really don't know about the assassination. The mastermind of this matter is the eldest brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the Concubine Wei Xian were plotted and became scapegoats."

"The fifth emperor's brother, Concubine Wei Xian, has long been dead and has accompanied his life. You have been implicated by them. If you have never done anything ruthless, I will save your life."

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. From today on, I have cut off your title and ordered you to guard the imperial tomb. Without an imperial edict, you must not leave the imperial tomb. The Wei family will also move out of the capital. In the future, without my permission, you must not step into the capital."
