Section 290

I mean, the laws of the empire are fair and strict. Conviction requires a complete chain of evidence and a public trial in the court. I have never heard of direct conviction and sentencing without trial. Even the emperor of the empire cannot violate this, right? "

In fact, he still had a lot of luck. After all, there was no evidence. Even the witness Ou Shang had been killed. As long as he did not admit his guilt, what could the court do to him?

It was just that considering that his father might be very eager to welcome his elder brother back, all this was already a general trend in the empire. The result of his stubbornness was that Wu Heng was unwilling to come back, and he would be despised by the empire, especially his father, and his future would certainly not be good.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiwen thought of giving in and accepting Wu Heng's return. At least he could keep his impression in the emperor's mind stable. At worst, he could let Wu Heng be proud for a while, and when he handed over the method to cure the gene collapse, his value would be exhausted. In the future, he would have the opportunity to overthrow him again and start all over again.

But now, the emperor's decision was like a heavy blow to his head, like a line of bright big words covering him, telling him very directly and cruelly - he was abandoned!

This made Xiwen no longer able to think so much. In a hurry, he directly brought out the laws of the empire to pressure people: "It is illegal to convict without trial. I don't plead guilty, I don't accept it! Even if there is really a trial, there is not enough evidence to convict me! "

The emperor did clean up some of his messes at the beginning, but those were not enough to form a closed chain of evidence pointing to him, otherwise the emperor would not believe that he actually hurt people because of jealousy, because from beginning to end, he never let others know the most critical steps.

And now, this seems to be the only life-saving straw he can grasp. He stared at the judge, and the veins on his forehead popped out one by one.

The other party just spread his hands helplessly: "How dare we violate the imperial law? Of course there will be a trial. Your Highness, don't worry. I just informed you of the result of the trial in advance so that you can prepare yourself mentally early. "

"——As for the evidence, didn't Commander Wu Heng also claim to be innocent at the beginning? Why was he convicted? I thought your Highness should understand it very well. "

Xiwen was shocked and his face turned pale.

The judge shook his head gently. He laughed, and inexplicably revealed a bit of sarcasm, just looking down at the embarrassed third prince:

"As for the evidence? If your majesty says yes, then yes. "

When the others left lightly, Xiwen still stood there motionless and stiff, like a solidified statue.

·

At the same time, in the palace.

The light brain projection gave off an illusory and blurred light, shielding everyone in the palace. The emperor was communicating with the person on the other end.

The screen projection reflected a snow-white space, a snow-white ceiling, snow-white walls, everything was pale, and even the image of another person became blurred under the influence of some force.

"You can give up your own son, but use him to please a fake... You are worthy of being the emperor of the empire, so cruel!" A cold voice came from the other end of the light brain, with a faint smile.

The emperor had a blank expression on his face, and his tone seemed a little sad: "There is no way. As a prince of the empire, this is the sacrifice he should make for the empire. ”

After saying this lightly, he turned his gaze to another person: "Can't you crack the "Life Essence" obtained from the Desolate Star Region?"

The other person made a "tsk" sound and stopped talking.

The emperor then stabbed him again: "If you can study the principle of the Life Essence, why would I go to such great lengths?"

The tone of the other person gradually changed: "I said that the essence of this Life Essence is not consistent with our long-standing pharmacy system. It's like a brand new system has been developed and integrated into it, as if it suddenly jumped out of another world... I don't know anything about this. Give me time! Just give me some more time, I will definitely figure it out!"

At the end, his tone was almost fanatical.

"How many decades? Hundreds of years?"

Seeing that the other party was speechless for a while, the emperor sighed softly and said calmly: "We don't have that much time, so we can only blame Xiwen for his bad luck. "

Chapter 241 Rebel 25

November 3, 723, was a special day for the entire empire. Because the "Light of the Empire" that was once exiled and expelled by them returned to the welcome of everyone in the empire.

This was the result of more than a month of hard work by the empire. At the beginning, the other party was very cold to the empire. If it weren't for the concerted efforts of the empire from the emperor to the ordinary citizens, the attitude of the former commander-in-chief would have softened little by little, and finally everyone had waited for the good news -

The former commander-in-chief of the empire, now the eldest prince of the empire recognized by the emperor himself, decided to return to the empire temporarily to wash away the treason that was slandered that year. No one knows whether his words are true or false, or whether he was moved by the emperor's fatherly love and couldn't let go of the knot in the past, so he awkwardly chose such a compromise.

According to him, even if he is not ready to return to the empire and does not want to accept the identity of a prince, he cannot suffer injustice in vain. He never owed the empire, but the empire owed him, so why hide like a house mouse? He wants to thoroughly discuss the merits and demerits of the past, get the rewards he deserves, and then leave openly and honestly.

——Everyone chose to ignore the last half of the sentence. As long as the person is willing to come back, are you worried that you won't be able to retain him later? What a waste the emperor and imperial ministers must be!

This is the mentality of most people. If something goes smoothly and successfully, you may only be a little happy, but if you have to work hard and go through all kinds of twists and turns, and finally see the hope of success, it will be enough to make people ecstatic!

I didn't think that if I directly revealed my identity from the beginning and took the initiative to return to the empire, the empire would be happy for a while. Maybe I thought it was right for the eldest prince to return to his roots. But now, the eldest prince, His Highness, has been "cheated" by everyone after everyone's efforts. After that, he has to find ways to make people stay willingly. Doesn't this make everyone extremely interested and excited?

Therefore, when the Star Network officially launched a live broadcast on the entire network to welcome the return of the former light of the empire, no one on the Internet thought it was making a fuss, and they all praised the emperor for his thoughtfulness. To be beautiful - it means to pay attention to every detail, so that the eldest prince, His Highness, can feel the sincerity of the empire and feel everyone's joy for his return. Maybe he will stay here completely?

With such a beautiful vision in mind, the scheduled live broadcast time has not yet started, and various messages on the Star Network have already burst out with great enthusiasm. When the official live broadcast room is fully opened, everyone is even more majestic. Dang swarmed in.

What appeared before their eyes was a vast and profound starry sky in the universe.

This is a space station on the border of the empire. When overseas spaceships enter the empire's territory openly, they will usually stop at the space station first and pass inspection to ensure that all procedures are legal before leaving.

And this time, His Highness the First Prince's first stop when he returned to the empire was at this space station.

At this time, there were dozens of warships parked neatly near the space station. They were floating in the vast starry sky, and they seemed to have specially made a passage, and these warships symbolizing the major legions were on the side. Looking forward to it.

Even the former empire commander "Wu Heng" and the third prince Xiwen who was once defaulted as the empire's heir have never had such a pomp. Thinking about it, only the emperor who visited the military area in person could receive such treatment. ▓思▓Rabbit▓online▓read▓read▓

There was a roaring sound all over the star network.

〖According to the imperial etiquette, this is a guard of honor that only the crown prince can have, right? Your Majesty, this is not a hint, it has been made clear. We should have done this a long time ago. When His Highness the First Prince arrives, we will immediately understand His Majesty's intentions. 〗

〖Yes, yes, yes! That's how it should be! The more you value His Highness the First Prince, the better. You should use the Crown Prince’s throne to knock him out, making him so dizzy that he can’t even think about leaving the empire. How can being a bandit leader in a garbage area like the Wild Star Territory compare to being the crown prince of an empire? The entire Wild Star Territory is not as good as a corner of our empire! 〗

〖The eldest prince, why hasn’t His Highness arrived yet? I have been looking forward to this day for more than a month, and I am really anxious to wait. I just hope that the ministers of the empire will be smarter, so that they won’t be able to stay even after everyone else has arrived! 〗

〖Of course not! If they are such trash, we taxpayers will unite to protest and beat them up. Not only that, but they must also be sent to the trial hall. After all, His Highness the First Prince is related to the future of the empire. If we cannot keep people here properly, I think it is appropriate to convict them of treason. They must all be spies deliberately sent by the Covenant! 〗

〖Hiss——I’m a little worried now that I say that. The Star Alliance won't really do anything. 〗

Under everyone's expectation, anxiety, and nervous gaze, the mighty black torrent was like a group of whales swimming across the ocean, traveling smoothly to the depths of the starry sky. The warship in the middle, guarded by many small airships, had a dark gray steel-like color, and its surface lines were extremely smooth.

〖It’s here‌It’s here‌! 〗

〖Shh——〗

At this moment, even though they knew that everything around them was just a virtual live broadcast on the Star Network, many people still fell silent in unison, as if they did not dare to disturb the familiar warship anchored on the space station.

At this moment, from the empire, in the opposite direction to the black torrent coming from afar, a warship of a similar model slowly came out. The two warships, which were almost the same in appearance, looked like two warships. Two identical large iron-gray fishes criss-crossed in the vast starry sky, and then stopped above the space station.

It's just that one wants to enter the country and the other wants to appear on camera. The former was welcomed at the highest level, and the imperial officers who had been waiting for him for a long time went up to greet him. The latter is like a prisoner, waiting for inspection.

Originally, the people in the Star Network who wanted to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first saw only the Imperial officers trotting out to greet him. When they wanted to see the Crown Prince coming down from the flying ship, they were blocked by the warship docked at the space station, and they immediately complained.

〖? ? ? What the hell is going on? On such a special day, everyone has to come to greet the Crown Prince. Where did this warship come from that is so ignorant? Must it take this route, must pass through this space station, and must block the Crown Prince from entering the camera? I praised the Imperial officials for their good work before, but now I see that they are really not worthy of praise! 〗

〖Real name insults to Imperial officials, a bunch of trash! 〗

〖That's right, even if there is any mission, put it behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Can't you wait a little longer? It's okay to leave the country at another space station! Are all the people on this warship a bunch of idiots? 〗

〖Wait, I think I guessed what this is. In fact, if you just look at the number of this warship and the one of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should be able to guess it. These are all warships belonging to the Court of Justice, specially used to transport serious criminals. 〗

〖! I understand too! So this is a warship heading to Exile Star? And who else could have betrayed Exile during this period of time? Of course, it is the one we all know
