Chapter 199 Death is imminent, but I still don’t know it
Outside the imperial city.
Yu Zhongtian was outside the imperial city with his weapons.
The eunuch beside the emperor hurried to the city gate.
"General Yu, His Majesty has issued an order. If you feel wronged again, His Majesty will definitely help you. However, your action is a bit extreme. His Majesty has summoned all officials to the court, and also asked you to come to the court as well. His Majesty will definitely give you justice."
Yu Zhongtian cupped his hands and said, "My Lord, I need to bring a few soldiers and armor to escort the traitor Xie Yiren inside. I am worried about the imperial guards...
When the eunuch heard Yu Zhongtian say this, he quickly agreed.
Yu Zhongtian didn't say anything and ordered a few guards to escort the person in.
When Xie Yiren saw this, a hint of triumph appeared on his face.
I thought to myself, "Humph, you old man, you'll be in trouble once you enter the palace."
"Then please come in, old general." The eunuch said to Yu Zhongtian.
Yu Zhongtian stood there and said coldly, "Let's go in together after all the officials have arrived."
The eunuch nodded without saying anything.
After a while, all the officials arrived.
Yu Zhongtian followed the officials into the court...
Xie Shanhe was sitting in the hall at this time, and his face looked extremely ugly.
"Father, save me...Yu Zhongtian, the traitor...he...is crazy! Let me go..." Xie Yiren shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.
Yu Zhongtian stood in the court, his expression did not change at all.
Seeing this, Xie Shanhe said to Yu Zhongtian, "General Yu, we have something to discuss...but what you did is too extreme...release His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first..."
Yu Zhongtian nodded to the guards after Xie Yiren was released.
Xie Yiren pointed at Yu Zhongtian and said, "You old fellow, I've long said that you and the Daxia people are already in cahoots with each other... As expected, you dare to rebel openly now, right?"
At this time, Yu Pengcheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Grandpa has no choice but to do this. Grandpa saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was forming a clique for personal gain, covering up everything with one hand, and deceiving His Majesty! For the safety of the Great Zhou, I had to make an offensive move!"
Seeing Yu Pengcheng say this, Xie Yiren pointed at Yu Pengcheng and said, "You are rebelling, so why do you have to say it in such a high-sounding way!"
Xie Shanhe said to Xie Yiren, "Shut up first! As the saying goes, what's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true! Real gold is not afraid of fire! If you are innocent, they can't falsely accuse you!"
After saying that, he changed the subject and said to Yu Zhongtian, "General Yu, if you have solid evidence today, I will definitely kill my relatives for the sake of justice... But if you slander the prince! And you are not good at mobilizing the city defense troops, then you will not be able to escape the death penalty!"
Yu Zhongtian snorted in his heart, stepped forward and said, "All the officials in the court today, please bear witness! If I don't have enough evidence to convince everyone present, and if anyone disagrees, please grant me the punishment of killing all my clans!"
As soon as Yu Zhongtian's words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
Seeing this, Xie Yiren pointed at Yu Zhongtian and said, "Humph... You are so arrogant ! Okay... If you have evidence, show it to me!"
Yu Pengcheng and Yu Pengfei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are witnesses... Last night, we saw with our own eyes that the Crown Prince and his men killed the Twelve Evils! They just wanted to silence them!"
After the two people finished speaking, the people at the scene were stunned for a moment.
Xie Yiren laughed loudly and said, "That's it?"
"Isn't this enough? The Twelve Evils are key witnesses. You broke into the prison at night and assassinated the Twelve Evils. Doesn't that just prove that you are guilty?" Yu Pengcheng said.
General Yu said, "Your Majesty, isn't this ironclad evidence?"
Xing Li, who was standing beside Xie Yiren, couldn't help but smile and said, "Old General, you may be getting old and confused... Then I would say that it was you, Yu Pengcheng and Yu Pengfei, who killed the man... If not, this is your evidence, right?"
General Yu said confidently, "Yes... Moreover, we have evidence... His Royal Highness the First Prince can testify that all his confessions were made under coercion and inducement during his interrogation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the mastermind behind all this."
"That's all?" Xie Yiren said with disdain, "Xie Xunfeng is a traitor to the Great Zhou. His words cannot be trusted... General Yu, is this all the evidence you have?"
Xie Shanhe also said in a cold voice, "General Yu, if this is your evidence, it is a bit too far-fetched... Do you have any other evidence?"
Yu Zhongtian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are no more!"
Seeing this, Xie Shanhe couldn't help but reveal a sly smile on his face.
He thought to himself that Yu Zhongtian was really getting old and confused.
Isn't this just walking into a trap?
He immediately said as expected.
"Hmph... you just said it yourself. If anyone in this palace is not satisfied with the evidence you provided, you will admit your crime of treason! I will ask the ministers in this palace now! Do they admit your evidence?"
After hearing this, all the officials looked at each other...
No one agreed.
" Old thief Yu, do you have anything to say now?" Xie Yiren pointed at Yu Zhongtian and said.
Yu Zhongtian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you do not admit my statement... then what evidence do you have? We are colluding with Daxia. What evidence do you have to prove that the death of the Twelve Evils is not related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Seeing Yu Zhongtian preparing to act like a rogue, Xie Shanhe smiled coldly and said, "General Yu, I have tried to save your face several times. Since you don't want to... then I will not be polite. You don't have solid evidence! But I do! If you plead guilty now... I will spare your life for your military exploits and will not implicate you. You will all be exiled! However, if you are still unwilling to plead guilty, don't blame me for being ruthless."
When Xie Shanhe said this, everyone was extremely surprised.
Yu Zhongtian said with pride, "Your Majesty, if you have evidence to prove that I am guilty... you don't have to kill me... all of us in the Yu family can commit suicide..."
Xie Shanhe snorted coldly and said, "Well... you are about to die, but you are still so stubborn... don't blame me..."
Then he said "Call Princess Jianning and the Third Princess of Daxia, Xiao Yiran."
As soon as the eunuch's words came out, all the officials began to whisper to each other.
Yu Zhongtian smiled in his heart. He admired Xie Xunfeng very much.
His plan was truly flawless.
Xie Xunfeng had calculated everything the emperor and Xie Yiren were doing and thinking...
Although he appeared to be very calm, it was impossible for him to say that he was not panicking.
After all, he was gambling with Lu Qian with the entire Yu family and the Yu family army...
Now that he saw Xiao Yiran entering the hall, he knew that Xie Yiren was dead.
However, looking at the expressions of Xie Yiren and Xie Shanhe, they seemed to be on the verge of death, but they didn't even realize it...
