Chapter 954: King Xiang has fallen
After reading the file, Tian Chenghe's two slightly stubby eyebrows shook rapidly, and the anxious look on his face was swept away. He weighed the file monk with his hand, and then looked at Zhang Jie.
"Where did Brother Zhang get such things?"
In fact, Zhang Jie also felt strange about this sudden appearance of the file, he could be 100% sure that when he checked it for the first time, this volume did not exist, in other words, someone stuffed it in later. Of course, the examination of the file began this morning, and at noon I encountered the episode of "raiding the house", during which it is very likely that someone took the opportunity to get in, and it is not easy to find out who did it.
After all, Zhang Jie is only a man in the Ministry of Officials, and the officials are complex, so it is impossible to sort out these messy accounts clearly. After listening to his simple description, Tian Chengsi also felt that this was deliberately done by someone, in order to bring down King Xiang with their hands.
The two came to the same opinion, and they couldn't help but look at each other, it seemed that the whirlpool of infighting in the court did not subside with the strong return of Doctor Qin, but only became more secretive.
"No matter who did it, as long as it can be used by you and me, it is worth using, and the top priority is to verify how much of what is written in the dossier is true!"
Zhang Jie was not very interested in the people behind the scenes, he just wanted to complete the errand promised to Doctor Qin as soon as possible. But Tian Chengji looked at him with a gloomy face.
"Brother Zhang doesn't know that as soon as this thing comes out, it will be destroyed by the blood of the Son of Heaven, isn't Brother Zhang afraid?"
Although what Tian Chengsi said was terrifying, there was no trace of weakness in his eyes, but there was an inexplicable fire of excitement.
When Zhang Jie heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"These words don't seem to come from the mouth of a general, can it be that I can't believe Zhang Jie? Since Zhang has already taken this step, he never thought that there would be a day of turning back!"
"Okay! Then Tian and Brother Zhang will advance and retreat together!"
What is revealed in the dossier is the record of Li Xu, the king of Xiang, who had contact with the Tibetans, and there are roughly two points that are extremely fatal, one is to collude with Yu Chaoen to frame and kill the so-called "political enemies", and the other is to secretly flatter Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, in order to replace Li Chenghong as the "Son of Heaven".
If any of these two opinions are announced, Li Yu will definitely have no chance of survival. Although Li Chenghong once became a puppet son of heaven under the support of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, he once used his extremely limited authority to protect some people, and also eliminated the vicious Yu Chaoen behind Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's back, so the current court has a trace of sympathy for this former puppet son of heaven.
The behavior of Li Xu, the king of Xiang, was completely different, colluding with thieves to kill the courtiers, and groveling in an attempt to stand on his own, all of which were despised.
In less than an hour, more than eighty percent of the people involved in the case were arrested and brought to justice, and before midnight, key confessions were obtained, as well as some correspondence that had not been destroyed.
Tian Chengsi took a confession to see Zhang Ji, the young man of Jingzhao, who was imprisoned in the barracks, and Zhang Ji, who was originally extremely hard, was suddenly like a deflated pig's urine bubble, obviously he knew that he was in trouble.
However, Tian Chenghe's purpose in coming to see Zhang Ji was not just to discount his backbone and see his wilting appearance, but for another purpose.
"Zhang Shaoqing is a person who understands current affairs, and he also knows what kind of attitude the imperial court has towards the traitors who collude with Fanhu......
"The matter has come to this, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
Tian Chenghe, a hard-mouthed person, has seen a lot, of course he knows where the biggest weakness of these people is, I saw him smile and approach Zhang Ji, leaned over and stared at him and said:
"It's really admirable to disregard your own safety, but doesn't Zhang Shaoqing want to think about his wife, sons, and brothers? They want to live in this world with the shame you left behind, as slaves, slaves, and ......prostitutes."
Tian Chengsi snorted a few times in a row, and his face showed a very regretful expression.
"I heard that Shaoqing's children are in their prime of life, can you bear to watch them fall into hell on earth?"
"You, you ......"
When it comes to his children, Zhang Ji's backbone can't be lifted up by anything, his eyes are sad and angry, and he is helpless.
"As long as Shaoqing is willing to cooperate with Tian, you will certainly not escape death, but Tian dares to swear to the sky that your wife and children will be safe and sound, how about it?"
"Hugh...... Don't think about it!"
Zhang Ji's tone was both hesitant and firm, Tian Chengsi calculated his entanglement, and he was not in a hurry to persecute, the jailer moved a stool and placed it opposite Zhang Ji, and he sat down for a long time.
"Shaoqing doesn't have to rush to refuse, think about it carefully, and after tonight, there will be no more chances, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army have already begun to take people, including King Xiang!"
When it came to King Xiang, Zhang Ji was like being pricked by a needle, and the whole person jumped up excitedly.
"King Xiang, what do you want to do with King Xiang?"
Tian Chengsi smiled dryly:
"When it was agreed to punish the Tang traitors, wasn't Shaoqing also present? Regardless of their status and status, they will all be executed! The children of his clan will also sit together!"
Soon, one after another, people were arrested and put in prisons set up in the barracks, and there was a trend of overcrowding.
The crying and scolding of the prisoner obviously stimulated Zhang Ji to fidget, Tian Chengsi felt that the time was ripe, so he said:
"I believe that Shaoqing's family will be reunited here soon, so there is no need to ...... in a hurry"
"Tian Chengsi, don't say it again, if you want Zhang to do something, just say it!"
"Sure enough......, I know the current affairs!
Tian Chengsi smiled and high-fived, and soon someone brought a written confession and put it in front of Zhang Ji.
"Shaoqing only needs to sign and draw a pledge on it, and Tian will ensure that your wife and children are worry-free and will never break their promise!"
I saw Zhang Ji sneering twice.
"I hope you keep your word, otherwise I won't let you go when I get to the Netherworld!"
When Tian Chengsi saw Zhang Jie with his confession, he exclaimed:
"It's done, with Zhang Ji's confession, King Xiang has no chance of turning over!"
Zhang Jie was vaguely worried.
"In case ......"
"What's in case, isn't what we are doing now exactly what Doctor Qin wants but it's inconvenient to do?"
As a result, the two did not hesitate anymore and went to the Ten Kings' Mansion to arrest people in person.
Half an hour later, the gate of the Ten Kings' Mansion was surrounded by water, and hundreds of torches illuminated the entire street as if it were daytime.
Standing in front of Tianzhang and the others was a young man of about twenty years old, who was lowering his head at this time, and his body was still trembling uncontrollably. Zhang Jie sighed secretly, this is King Xiang with hidden ambitions, but overnight, his fate has been very different.
"Take it back!"
Li Xuan finally didn't embarrass his father's face, and the scene of crying and begging for mercy did not appear, and he was taken out of the Ten Princes' Mansion who was quite obedient.
Since the Shenwu army recovered Chang'an, there has never been an army entering the Ten Princes' Mansion to arrest people.
At the same time as Tian Zhang and the others arrested King Xiang, they presented the original story of the matter to Qin Jin in detail and reported the situation in official documents.
At that time, it happened that Pei Jing entered Beijing overnight, so he handed over the secret report to Pei Jing.
"Look at it, King Xiang's misfortune has happened!"
Pei Jing seemed to know that something was going on, and he was not surprised after reading the secret report.
"King Xiang's collusion with Yu Chaoen to kill the courtiers is already a semi-open secret in Chang'an, but no one is willing to lift the lid, didn't the doctor already know about it?"
Qin Jin sighed lightly.
"I used to think that things in this world could be simply distinguished by black and white, but in the past few years, there have been many dangers, so I have never had this kind of thought, King Xiang's matter, I wanted to see it in Rong Qing's face, as long as he knew about the convergence, he would turn a blind eye to the past, who expected him to provoke Zhang Jie and Tian Chenghei, and now there is no possibility of covering up the past!"
While he was talking, Tian Chengsi and Zhang Jie came together.
After arresting King Xiang, such a big thing as arresting King Xiang was not enough to explain the whole problem clearly, so the two of them rushed to see Qin Jin non-stop after arresting King Xiang.
However, when the two saw that Pei Jing was also present, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The relationship between Pei Jing and King Xiang is well known, and he is the same brother of Pei Zhaoyi, the mother of King Xiang, and the two of them muttered secretly, could it be that Pei Jing got the rumor, and he came here to intercede for King Xiang?
Pei Jing was of course a very discerning person, and he knew that Tian Zhang and the others had a secret report about King Xiang, so he wanted to get up and avoid it, but Qin Jin stopped him.
"Rong Qing is not in a hurry to leave, don't worry, listen to it, listen to what your nephew has done. ”
In this way, Tian Zhang and the others couldn't figure out what Qin Jin meant, and their words flickered and stumbled.
Seeing this, Qin Jin waved his hand and smiled:
"You two just say it, don't worry!"
Zhang Jie secretly observed Qin Jin for a while, and then he was sure that Doctor Qin really let them have something to say and not have to worry about it, so he concisely described how King Xiang had something to do with him, and how the subsequent events evolved to such a situation.
If you look at it alone, this is just an accident that can't be coincidental, if King Xiang didn't ask Zhang Jie for his wife and uncle Du Zhen, if Zhang Jie didn't sternly refuse King Xiang, if Du Zhen didn't take revenge, maybe there would be no today......
However, Zhang Jie believes that even if there are no accidents, other accidents will definitely happen. In other words, some people will poke these things out sooner or later, and the fate of King Xiang is unchangeable.
"Some?"
Qin Jin was surprised, he heard some taste of conspiracy from Zhang Jie's words, could it be that there is a hidden black hand behind the Xiangwang incident? Zhang Jie explained in detail about the episode of the sudden appearance of the file, he and Tian Chengsi are both outsiders, and they have only been in Chang'an for more than ten days, so naturally they have not had the opportunity to hear the secret rumors about King Xiang, and the appearance of the file is obviously deliberately done by someone, hoping that they will know.
"Go and check, check now, but see which one is going to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman!"
