In the court, everyone was trembling with fear, and many of them were still in sorrow that they were forcibly summoned here.

Emperor Wu sat upright on the throne, and anyone could see that there was a surging anger hidden between his eyebrows.

The prince and the fifth prince were all located in the hall. They lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

Ning Shanzhi's forehead was already sweating coldly. Because of Han Xu, the development of this incident had long exceeded what they had planned before.

If they follow their plan, Han Luoling will be killed, Han Xu will die, and the fifth prince will take the blame. The prince, the initiator, will bravely rescue the emperor at the critical moment and make great contributions.

But in the end, Han Luoling was not dead, and Han Xu was not dead either. Instead, the prince, who was the one who had lost his troops and lost his generals, Wu Ji was killed directly.

The most important thing is that Wu Ji wants to kill Han Luoling.

Although when Qinling and Emperor Wu arrived, Wu Ji was beaten to death by Han Xu and the prince never walked out of the carriage, as long as he was not a fool, he could think that it was the prince who was instructing him behind his back.

Emperor Wu looked at the crown prince, then the fifth prince, and finally looked at the civil and military officials.

Whoever his eyes fell on him would feel like he was being targeted by an ancient beast, and he was sweating coldly behind him.

"Qinling!" After a long silence, Emperor Wu spoke expressionlessly. The first person he called was Qinling.

During the entire incident, Qinling fought bravely to kill the enemy and led the Tiance army to defeat the beast tide, which was a great contribution.

However, he knocked Han Luoling out.

"I'm here!" Qinling had already taken off his armor, and a cloth shirt exposed his strong muscle lines. He walked to the center and knelt in front of the hall.

"Can you know the crime?"

"I know the crime, please punish your majesty." Qinling did not have any emotional fluctuations, as if he had been mentally prepared long ago.

All the officials were very complicated. If you want to talk about the people present, who has been with Emperor Wu for the longest time and who is the most loyal to Emperor Wu, it must be the Qinling Mountains.

When Emperor Wu was still a prince, Qinling accompanied him, and he was born and died. He almost died several times in order to save Emperor Wu.

This time, Qinling was even more concerned about the overall situation and had to knock Han Luoling out. In everyone's opinion, this was not an incomprehensible thing.

This is a loyal and brave act. You should not be punished. Even if you have to be punished, you can only say a few words at most.

However, Emperor Wu said, "Since you know your guilt, I think that you have been loyal for many years. I will spare your life. In the future, you will no longer be the commander of the Tiance Army. Go home to take care of your old age."

After Emperor Wu finished speaking, the hall was silent.

Unexpectedly, just because Qinling knocked Han Luoling unconscious, Emperor Wu turned him off directly.

Is a loyal minister who has been with him for decades and has been born and died countless times, but he is not as good as a concubine?

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

...

Soon, seven or eight officials left the list and pleaded for Qinling.

Among them is Hou Qian, the Minister of War, who led the military and once had a friendship with Qinling Mountains. He couldn't bear to see this Tongze ended in such a sad way.

Emperor Wu looked at these ministers with a cold look. He said, "Stop it all for me. If you plead for him again, you will go home with him to support you."

Now, the person who pleaded for love just now stopped talking, and only Hou Qian looked at Emperor Wu with a stubborn look.

Qinling said, "You don't have to plead for me."

After saying that, he kowtowed to Emperor Wu and said, "Sinner, I've said goodbye. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Dawu!"

After saying that, he stood up and left the hall without looking back.

Everyone looked at his back and couldn't help feeling sad.

A generation of loyal ministers ended up in such a sad end because of a concubine.

Sad, pitiful, lamentable.

But Emperor Wu did not give them more time to be sad, and then pronounced the next name.

"Ning Shanzhi!"

Ning Shanzhi heard that it was his turn, and his legs became a little weak, so he forced himself to come to the center to kneel down.

"The criminal is here!"

"The spring hunting matters are under your responsibility to see what you do."

"I know the crime!" Ning Shanzhi said, "Please spare your life!"

"Give up your life?" said Emperor Wu, "When did I say I'd kill you?"

"Your Majesty?" Ning Shanzhi was happy, but before he could laugh, he heard Emperor Wu continue to say: "I am thinking about such a big thing. Maybe you can't plan it alone, and there must be accomplices."

"Come here, take Ning Shanzhi into the Heavenly Prison and find out his accomplices!"

As soon as Emperor Wu finished speaking, several figures appeared from all directions. Ning Shanzhi was controlled before he could move.

These warriors who took action were all wearing black outfits, carrying a short sword behind them, and red dragon marks embroidered on their chests.

It is the terrifying Xuanyiwei.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu directly dispatched Xuanyiwei.

Ning Shanzhi's body suddenly collapsed, so scared that he couldn't even speak, and was dragged out like a dog.

The prince's face turned pale, and no one could keep his mouth shut under the torture of Xuanyiwei.

After dealing with the two ministers, Emperor Wu did not rush to mention the minister's name, but looked at the three princes below.

He said: "The amethyst unicorn lion was killed by me with my own hands."

"From its mouth, I found this."

After saying that, a jade pendant was thrown out of the Wu Emperor's hand, landed on the carpet, rolled a few times, and stopped in front of the fifth prince's toes.

"Father, son-in-law, son-in-law killed a young amethyst one-horned lion, but unexpectedly..." The fifth prince knelt down and quickly explained.

Emperor Wu gave up and stopped him from continuing to talk.

He said: "You can kill the young amethyst unicorn lion, which proves that you have made a lot of progress this year, and I am very pleased."

"However, you didn't think about the consequences carefully. If you didn't leave this jade pendant, the adult amethyst unicorn lion would not have pursued your position, and would not have wanted to kill the royal bloodline to take revenge."

"So, your accident triggered a beast tide, putting everyone in danger, especially your brother."

When everyone saw the jade pendant, they suddenly realized.

The jade pendant belongs to the fifth prince, so it naturally has his aura. Through the aura of the fifth prince, the amethyst unicorn lion can tell the prince and the third prince who also have royal blood, so he focused on taking care of the three of them.

"I punish you to face the wall in the Imperial Academy for three months and think about your mistakes."

"My son received the order and thanked my father." The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the wall in the Imperial Academy for March was not a serious punishment.

It seems that Emperor Wu still cares about his son, and in the whole matter, everyone who is sensible knows that the fifth prince is also plotted against.

"Get out."

"yes."

The fifth prince retreated to the side and stood there. Compared to before, his expression became much more relaxed.

"Xu Qi, do you have something to tell me?"

The prince was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground, suppressing his panic in his heart, and said to Emperor Wu: "I don't know what my father said?"

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know."

"Are you not going to give me an explanation about Wu Ji's affairs? Are you not going to give me an explanation to my Lingfei?"
