Chapter 738: Chapter 610: Succeeding to the Throne of the Jin Dynasty (Climax, asking for Monthly tickets)_2

If the crimes of Prince Xiang were confirmed today, they wouldn’t merely be ’forced off the throne’, but they would be considered as party to Prince Xiang, collectively ’conspiring treason’! This is a great crime against the divine and natural order, and it would not be excessive for the Emperor to exterminate nine of their tribes.

Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi was standing below the throne steps, his face was as gray as death, and his body emanated a cold and restless aura.

Anyone with deep cultivation could sense that Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi was being targeted by several Divine Consciousness filled with murderous intent.

Especially the Emperor, Jingtai Emperor, his aura seemed to be choosing someone to devour.

However, Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi himself didn’t care, he appeared disoriented, preoccupied. Every now and then, he would raise his head and glance in the direction of Prince Xiang’s mansion.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle coldly: "What? What exactly is hidden in this Prince Xiang’s mansion that has you, Yu Zhanshi, so concerned?"

After glancing at him, Yu Zhanshi, Prince Xiang, fell silent.

Before the results of the search in Prince Xiang’s mansion came out, anything said now would be false.

He just hoped now that his subjects in his own mansion could make the right reactions.

The problem was this Marquis of Guanjun had mobilized seven heavenly level experts, looking at their layout, it was obviously a plan long in the making.

Not long after, Helian Fulong’s figure flew across the sky and landed directly in front of the Taihe Gate.

Flight was prohibited within the Forbidden City of the Jin Dynasty, but Helian Fulong didn’t care at this moment. He hurried into the hall and bowed to the Jingtai Emperor.

"Your Majesty, at the request of the Marquis of Guanjun, I went to search Prince Xiang’s mansion and successfully captured Master Xinhuan and Gumu in the eastern courtyard of Prince Xiang’s mansion, both of them were alive. These two were intent on committing suicide by poison but were frozen into Mysterious Ice by me and Jiang Yunqi!"

Just as Helian Fulong was halfway through his sentence, the court officials were already in an uproar, their voices rumbling like thunder. Even the personal intervention of the Minister of Rites, Hu Ying, was ineffective in suppressing the uproar.

All the court officials were shocked and silent, buzzing with discussions.

Luckily, Helian Fulong’s cultivation reached the heavenly level, which was enough to suppress all the noise.

"In addition, we took the study of Prince Xiang’s mansion and are cleaning up Prince Xiang’s correspondences and accounts. Prior to my arrival in the Imperial Palace, we had already found three incriminating talisman papers related to Prince Xiang’s treason. Besides -"

Helian Fulong’s voice paused, then he brought out a jade ornament in his palm, "while searching Princess Changning’s room, we found this ’dutic phoenix-shaped Hetian jade hairpin’ in her cosmetic case. It is identical and indistinguishable from the ornament in Li Yueer’s memory."

Prince Yu Zhanshi Xiang closed his eyes and looked up towards the sky, his spirit and energy were withered away in an instant.

The Tongzhengshi Right Canyi, Xu Yuanxian, was unwilling to give in. He felt his heart was being tightly clenched, knowing if Prince Xiang was accused of the crimes of assassination of the Crown Prince and treason, him and his family wouldn’t survive.

"You can always find a reason to frame someone!" Xu Yuanxian nearly spat the words out from between his teeth, "Prince Xiang is virtuous, how could he commit such a great sin against the divine and natural order? How do we know that these aren’t fabricated evidence?"

But at this moment, all the court officials in the hall, except the kneeling followers of Prince Xiang, were looking at him with cold and disdainful eyes.

At this point, everything was clear.

No matter how much they trust Prince Xiang, no matter how naive they are, they won’t be deceived by such words over and over again.

"Still trying to deny it?" Helian Fulong looked over with cold and mocking eyes, "The Marquis of Guanjun predicted that you followers of Prince Xiang would try to deceive and manipulate the officials and the general public. So this time, when searching the royal mansion, the Marquis of Guanjun specifically invited the Zhangyuan of Hanlin Academy, Shuntian Government and Jijiu of Guozi Bureau to proceed. They personally supervised all search procedures!"

In reality, the word ’invitation’ is just an elegant way of saying things. Li Xuan did not wish to disclose his purpose beforehand, so he used some harmless means towards these three, which could be considered as a bit of forced persuasion.

Luckily, by the time Helian Fulong returned to the palace, these three were already unhappy with Li Xuan’s impolite actions.

After hearing this, Xu Yuanxian was struck like a lightning bolt, completely silent. His consciousness seemed paralyzed, and he couldn’t think of any rebuttals.

The three men Helian Fulong mentioned were all respectable scholars of high moral character, holding high office in the court.

Only then did the court officials realize that the Zhangyuan of Hanlin Academy, the Shuntian Government and the Jijiu of Guozi Bureau, these three were not present at the court meeting today.

Jingtai Emperor lowered his voice and roared, "Yu Zhanshi!"

He moved and appeared instantly in front of Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi, gripping the prince’s neck, lifiting him high off the ground.

In a short instant, the bones in the neck of the Prince Xiang emitted a ’crackling’ sound.

Jingtai Emperor’s eyes were bloodshot, "I only have one son, Jianji, whom I treasure very much. You dare to harm him! You dare to harm him!"

What made him extremely resentful was that several months ago, he even had the thought of setting Prince Xiang as the ’Regent Prince’ as a precaution.

"Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Rites, Hu Ying, sighed softly. He walked out and came to Jingtai Emperor’s side, "Prince Xiang deserves to be punished! It would not be excessive to skin him and expose him to the sun, but he should be tried and sentenced according to the law, as a warning to the world!"

Jingtai Emperor’s arm muscles bulged, his eyes almost bursting with rage, glaring at Hu Ying, struggling with his emotions.

He wished he could strangle this treacherous beast right now.

Grand Secretary Chen Xun also stepped forward, his complexion solemn, "Your Majesty, please exercise restraint for the time being. Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi has a reputation for virtue that belies his true character, a hypocrite who appears loyal on the outside but is deceitful on the inside. Many officials and students in the court and in the world have been deceived by his false reputation."
