Chapter 324: The Evidence Is Conclusive
There are so many things in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and Emperor Zhiyou didn't see the orders of the courtiers, in the final analysis, he was still capricious, but fortunately it only lasted for one day.
Although the officials of the Menxia Province and the Imperial Historical Observatory felt that the emperor's order was somewhat inexplicable, they did not refute the impeachment on this occasion.
When the sun rises the next day, everything is business as usual. The courtiers will not be stopped by the guards of the palace when they enter the Xuanzheng Hall or go to the Zichen Hall to ask for a meeting.
But Ye Xian no longer needed to go to Zichen Hall to test and verify anything, from the mouth of Zhang Dawei, the general of Zuo Yiwei, he had already got the answer and knew the truth in Yongqing Palace.
He didn't care about Concubine De's life and death situation, but he definitely cared about the survival and decline of the Ye family.
He knew very well that now that the Ye family was on the verge of the abyss, he could not deal with it with trembling and careful.
He didn't close his eyes last night, and spent the night discussing with the elders and children of the Ye family what to do next, but he could only come up with a way to respond to all changes with the same.
Although the Ye family's chess pieces were pulled out, the emperor didn't say anything at all, and it looked as if nothing had happened.
In such a situation, Ye Xian naturally would not go to Zichen Hall to intercede or ask for guilt or anything, and he would not leave the emperor with the impression that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
All he could do was to make the children of the clan cautious and ready to deny everything.
Zhang Guard has already abandoned chess, no matter what he confesses, Ye Xian will deny it. As for Wang Wen and other deeper chess pieces, since they are chess pieces, they naturally will not leave any marks of the Ye family, so it is better to deny them.
Although the loss of these chess pieces made Ye Xian feel deeply damaged, it also shook the foundation of the Ye family.
What made Ye Xian deeply uneasy now was the vague attitude of Emperor Zhiyou.
The emperor is not a patient person, what are the plans for holding it down like this?
With such worries, Ye Xian stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, and immediately saw Wang Yuanfeng walking forward.
"Lord Ye, I heard that General He sent a letter of plea to Zichen Hall overnight, and it was also lost in the sea. The situation in this palace seems to be not good. Wang Yuanfeng said this, lowering his voice.
They were the central officials, and their position among the courtiers was too prominent that no courtier dared to surround them, which made it convenient for them to speak.
Wang Yuanfeng vaguely knew about the affairs of Yongqing Palace, and seemed to have an inseparable connection with the Ye family, but he didn't know what the specific matter was, and when he saw Ye Xian's haggard look at this moment, he couldn't help but be surprised.
From the time he met Ye Xian, what Ye Xian showed was calm and calm, and he had never seen such a worried performance now.
What does the matter in Yongqing Palace have to do with the Ye family?
Ye Xian only nodded, and he really didn't have the interest in talking to Wang Yuanfeng.
What He Yingtang did, of course he knew. Concubine He De is the sister of He Yingtang's in-laws, and now that Concubine He De has an accident, He Yingtang is anxious to intercede in the palace, which is reasonable.
But he can't do anything. - Even if he knew that the Ye family had stepped on the edge of the cliff, he still couldn't move.
Only when the emperor reacts, he can take advantage of the situation, and this kind of dangerous and waiting taste is really very difficult.
At this moment, Ye Xian doesn't know yet, and more difficult things are still to come!
After the early dynasty, Zhao Dajun came to the Zichen Palace, respectfully presented a thick stack of music to Emperor Zhiyou, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the details that the ministers have found in the past two days. Not only that, but the minister also found some ruffians in Liuyun Lane, who mixed in with the homeless, deliberately instigated and incited the anger of the homeless, and the reason why the riot was so rapid had a lot to do with these ruffians. ”
Emperor Zhiyou's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fell on the thick dossier, and he only said, "Two days...... That's all you find?"
Zhao Dajun paused, and then replied: "Your Majesty, this is indeed investigated by Zuo Yiwei's soldiers, and there are many files drawn from Jingzhao Mansion, Yushitai and other official offices, but the ministers have already verified them one by one. That riot is not over as it seems, and there are still many court officials who have paid close attention to this riot. ”
Zhao Dajun himself did not expect that so many things could be found in a short period of time, let alone that so many court officials would feel that there was something wrong with this riot.
Jingzhao Mansion and Yushitai are also full of doubts about this riot, and they have not given up investigating in the past few months, and it is only when he pursues that he can find so much evidence.
It has been carefully preserved, and there is no evidence of oblivion.
"Who are the court officials who are paying close attention to this uprising?" asked Emperor Zhiyou as he continued, still not opening the files.
"There were officials such as Zhang Heng, the imperial historian, Wang Dongzhen, the head of the household, and they heard that the ministers were investigating the riots, so they informed them of these things. Zhao Dajun said this, not hiding the source of these clues.
"Since they have these clues in their hands, why don't they present them as soon as possible?" Emperor Zhiyou frowned and continued to ask.
Zhao Dajun's expression suddenly became a little strange, and finally plucked up his courage and said in a difficult voice: "They don't dare to present it...... Because these clues all pointed to General He and Lord Shang Shuling, they didn't dare. Please ask the emperor to look through these files, and he will understand. ”
In fact, Zhao Dajun understands Zhang Heng's approach very well, because if it were him, he would do the same.
Before the Yongqing Palace incident appeared, how much the emperor relied on and trusted General He and Shang Shuling Ye!
These two people are the emperor's henchmen, do these officials dare to present such clues?
If the emperor hadn't sent him to investigate this riot now, so that the court officials would notice something wrong, probably these clues would never have appeared in front of the emperor.
After listening to Zhao Dajun's words, Emperor Zhiyou changed slightly, and finally reached out to read those files.
As Zhao Dajun expected, Emperor Zhiyou only flipped through the ten or so pages of the dossier, and his expression became furious: "Zhao Dajun, those ruffians are indeed at the behest of Ye Xian and deliberately caused this riot?"
Looking at the confession on it, Emperor Zhiyou's eyes were red, and anger seemed to erupt from his eyes.
He remembered the edict he had made a few months earlier, these ruffians caused this riot just to make the prestige of the Son of Heaven ruined?!
No, it's not these ruffians, it's Shang Shu Ling Ye Xian!
Ye Xian planned this riot, the purpose of which was to make me guilty and punished by heaven?
This is shaking my throne, this is Ming Huanghuang's rebellion!
Its heart should be punished, and its heart should be punished!
Ye Xian is my Shangshu Order, and he is the person who I carry with one hand and help the Central Pavilion with the other, how could he do such a thing?
For a long time, for a long time, Emperor Zhiyou slowly spit out a sentence: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." ”
