Chapter 336: The court was jointly testified
In the huge Zhenghe Palace, there was only Zhuang Yan's angry voice, and he ordered someone to bring all the people to the center of the hall, and after a while, nine people, including Liu Gan, went to the hall.
Among the nine people, three of them are officials of the imperial court, and their official positions are not small, and they are all three-grade officials, which is a shame for a court, and it is ridiculous to fall into the ears of the people, and the face of the court and the country has been lost.
Zhuang Yan said angrily: "You are all my courtiers, and you have also been selected through the township examination and the palace examination, but you see, one of you is in charge of scientific examinations, and the other is in charge of official promotion, don't you feel ashamed of these things you do?"
Liu Gan immediately knelt down and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, He Changxu united these people to give false testimony, and implored the emperor to investigate." ”
When He Changxu in the train heard this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Liu Gan and said angrily: "Liu Gan, don't spray people with blood, what did the old man wronged you? ”
"He Changxu... Liu Gan's eyes widened, and his teeth clucked: "You threatened Zhang Tian's wife, children, and mother to make false testimony to correct me, and you also asked He Xian and Pan Wencheng to unite those two people to design and frame me, and you even fabricated a note, and I never signed any note." ”
He Xian didn't comply, and said angrily: "Liu Gan, don't bite people like a mad dog, you said that Zhang Tian wronged you for false testimony, but why did I hear that Zhang Tian pointed out to you at the beginning, but suddenly changed his words inexplicably halfway, saying that he himself was unwilling to fall off the list and deliberately designed to frame you?"
If it was really Lord Shangshu who framed you, why did you want Zhang Tian to change his words? Isn't this an extra move?
Besides, I and the right squire were unjustly locked up in a prison cell, how can we conspire with those two people?
Not to mention that after Wei Xiancai turned himself in, he actually identified the two of us, and we were also imprisoned in Dali Temple because of suspicion.
Could it be that we are full of food and support, let Wei Xiancai confess to us first, and then we will go to the tightly guarded cell to discuss with Wei Xiancai and Sun Laishi how to frame you, who already have suspicions?"
"You --- you are reversing black and white, Wei Xiancai did identify the two of you after he turned himself in, he was telling the truth, it was after the two of you went in that all the testimony changed, and it really became false. Liu Gan looked at He Xian with hatred, and really wanted to immediately pounce on him and drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Pan Wencheng arched his hand at Zhuang Yan and said: "Your Majesty, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, Zhang Tian and Qi Xian identified Liu Gan at the beginning, and it was because of the two of them that they raised people to make trouble."
But later Zhang Tian suddenly changed his words, because Liu Gan arrested his wife and children and threatened him, Zhang Tian was forced to change his words.
Later, Wei Xiancai went to Dali Temple to surrender, but claimed that it was my Ministry of Rites to make trouble, this fact is a misunderstanding, Wei Xiancai has a local accent, he is a ritual official, his mouth 'Ministry of Rites', in fact, is the Ministry of Officials, which led to me and Zuo Lang being unjustly imprisoned.
Fortunately, he later took out a note, on which the clerk was clearly written, and even a signature, which cleared the two of us of suspicion.
Your Majesty, Liu Gan kept claiming that we had wronged him, but he would not lie in black and white, and he begged the emperor to compare his handwriting with the signature on the note, and the truth would naturally be revealed. ”
Zhuang Yan looked at Liu Gan coldly and gave Liu De a look, who understood and ordered the little eunuch next to him to take some of the folds on Liu Gan in the past.
After a while, the little eunuch handed over a few folds, Liu De took it, turned around and put it in front of Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan opened the fold and compared it with the note presented to him early in the morning, and after a while, he saw that he was thundered and angry, and slammed the fold and the note and threw them on the ground, "Liu Gan, take a good look at yourself, my eyes are not blind, this is not your handwriting, who is it?"
Liu Gan was startled, crawled over on his knees, picked up the notes on the ground, and took a closer look, it was really exactly the same as his own handwriting, he was stunned and frightened, "Your Majesty, this is not written by Wei Chen, there are many masters of folk imitation handwriting, and the handwriting is not enough to believe the emperor." ”
Zhuang Yan looked at him with cold eyes: "In this way, someone has also forged the chapter on this?"
Liu Gan nodded again and again, choked up: "Yes, Your Majesty, this chapter is also fake, this is designed, just to frame Yu Chen, this is... ”
"Enough, the more you talk about it, the more ridiculous it becomes, forging the official seal is a capital crime, who is so bold, you still want to quibble when the matter comes, I originally thought that you are an old minister, and you have also made significant achievements in the imperial court, so I wanted to deal with you as appropriate.
But not only did you not have the slightest repentance, but you also wanted to put the blame on others, and I should deal with you harshly with this attitude. ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, wronged, the emperor... Liu Gan crawled on the ground and cried bitterly, these evidences are all in front of him, even if he was wronged, but he has no evidence to overturn the evidence in front of him, he only hates, hates He Changxu for doing things too desperately.
Only Liu Gan shouted miserably in the court, Zhang Tian and Qi Xian did not speak, at this time, the two of them were like transparent people, silently standing behind the crowd, Zhang Tian pulled his fingers and glanced at Qi Xian uneasily, the latter's eyes were indifferent, he knew that Qi Xian hated himself.
Qi Xian is a righteous gentleman, and he, he is just a person who cares about the life and death of his family and wants to take the test.
Thinking that his family was still in He Changxu's hands, Zhang Tian shuddered, he knelt and begged Qi Xian, begging him to make false testimony with him. Although Qi Xian promised not to tell the truth, he must hate himself in his heart.
But what can he do? He Changxu is holding his life, and he only blames himself for being too greedy, and he will be on the list when he falls off the list, knowing that these officials are not aggressive, but he still wants to make such a big incident, and he has reached this point, he can only pray that after the matter is over, his relatives can return to his hometown safe and sound, and then he will die without regrets.
There was an eerie silence in the court, Liu Gan shouted in his mouth that he was wronged, his eyes looked at the ministers who had talked and laughed with him, and at this time, no one stood up to intercede with him.
He looked at Shen Qing again, the latter was also expressionless at this time, could it be that Xiao'er didn't see Shen Qing? Or did Shen Qing want to protect himself, so he left him alone?
Liu Gan looked at He Changxu's face again, those eyes, vicious like poisonous snakes, were locking him, seemingly staring at him, for fear that he would make any moves, and He Xian and Pan Wencheng both had mockery in their eyes.
Yes, you all think that I Liu Gan must die, right, you think that I will take the blame for you, and you will be safe and sound, right?
Hahaha... I'm a person who would rather die and the net is broken, and if you want me to die, then I'm going to pull you on my back.
Liu Gan looked at He Changxu coldly, and suddenly laughed sadly, and the laughter was like a ghost in the court, terrifying.
