Until the uncle and nephew were sad that "enough", the sage sighed: "Okay, let all Aiqing take a look." ”

The palace supervisor asked the chamberlain to bring the box to Jian Guogong, Xu Ye and others to see. The ministers all looked at it, and saw half an iron tiger talisman and half an iron arrow cluster sigil lying in the box. The iron-making skills of the Western Turks and the Xueyantuo tribes were inherited from Persia and Dashi, and are not the same as those of the Central Plains, so they are easily recognizable. What's more, the curly patterns on the tiger talisman and the arrow cluster talisman are similar to the text, and many well-informed ministers have seen it in the Turkic tribe and the Xue Yantuo tribe.

When the Taizong Dynasty frequently fought with the Turks and Xue Yantuo, the military generals led by Xu Ye, the Duke of Jianguo, did not know how many tribes they swept and how many spoils they obtained, so they naturally had a deep impression of these enemies. Even many of the ministers who had been envoys to and from tribes were very sensitive to these items - there is no doubt that this was indeed the stuff of the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo!!

As for the other witch Gu in a small box, it is just a puppet covered in needles and bloodstains. No matter what the eight characters of birth are written on the puppet, they are not the same as the first two "evidence of collaborating with the enemy". After all, it is easier said than done to bury a witch Gu and win, and there may be people who are self-righteous and defend King Peng that this is just someone framing him. However, it is extremely difficult to obtain the Tiger Talisman and the Arrow Cluster Sigil, and it cannot be obtained unless it is captured or collaborated with the enemy.

Jian Guogong Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and said in a deep voice: "Sage, since the physical evidence has been found, let Dali Temple start to examine the evidence." Of course, it is necessary to continue the search for physical evidence. If it can be determined which tribe King Peng is colluding with, the old minister is willing to go to the frontier to teach them a lesson that he will never forget!! ”

As a general who exterminated the Turks, the general of the march who killed Xue Yantuo, could it be that he still couldn't recognize it, this was all made after the booty he captured back then?! It's done vividly, but it seems to have overlooked some details - the curly patterns on each tribe's tiger talisman and arrow cluster sigil represent the name and totem of the tribe, which is unique. Of course, there are many tribes of Turkic and Xue Yantuo, hundreds of large and small, maybe these are two tribes that the Tang Dynasty has never discovered?

"It's just a few tribes, how can Xu Aiqing go out again? Isn't that a contempt for them? The saint shook his head, "Aiqing, don't worry, if I find out the whereabouts of these tribes, I will definitely not let them go!" If they hadn't deliberately sowed discord, why would Uncle Peng have been so confused for a moment and committed such a crime of treason?! With Jian Guogong guaranteeing the authenticity of the tiger talisman and the arrow cluster sigil, he can be completely relieved.

"Xuanqi, no matter how good you are, if you check King Peng's mansion, as well as all the courtyards and manors, I can't tell you what clues you can find - by the way, I suddenly remembered that some time ago, Uncle Peng Wang gave Uncle Lu a few Zhuangzi near Nanshan? I heard that those Zhuangzi are also the beloved places of Uncle Peng's uncle......"

Hearing this, several lightning-like gazes immediately shot towards King Lu, who was full of bitterness. King Lu was stunned and instinctively looked at King Jing for help. King Jing pretended to be looking at the "physical evidence" carefully, and there was no reaction at all: if King Lu couldn't wait to send himself to death for a little money, he would never learn what "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way", even if he can save it for a while, he can't save a lifetime. It's also time for him to truly understand the simple truth that only by saving his life can he enjoy wealth and glory.

As a result, King Lu, who was recognized as loving money as his life, hesitated for a long time before revealing the tragic color of a strong man with a broken wrist: "I can't say all the Zhuangzi and gold, silver and jewelry he gave him...... I can't tell what the problem is!! The minister doesn't dare to ask for it anymore, if the saint doesn't dislike it, then accept it! Xuan Qi can also check casually......" After saying these words, he almost cried, as if he had cut off the flesh of his heart.

"It's rare for Uncle Lu to be so generous." The saint raised his eyebrows with a smile and gave him a thousand gold as compensation.

However, how can a mere 1,000 gold compare with the value of those Zhuangzi and the gold, silver and jewelry? King Lu's flesh hurt so much that his heart was broken, and when he walked out of the Liangyi Palace, he even stumbled a little.

After receiving the exact news, the ministers were finally completely relieved. There was no suspense about the outcome of the case, and they didn't have to pay too much attention to it, so they withdrew after a short time. King Jing, who was walking at the end, looked back, exchanged a glance with the saint without a trace, and then withdrew from the Liangyi Hall in silence.

However, on the first day, such strong physical evidence was found, and the three divisions were immediately extremely excited. King Peng and his descendants were immediately brought out for interrogation, and Princess Peng and many other relatives became witnesses.

King Peng naturally always denied it, insisting that he had never seen any Turkic people or Xue Yantuo people, and the physical evidence must have been framed. As for the things that witches hated to win, he didn't even know about it, maybe something went wrong when Princess Peng was taking care of the inner house. All in all, in his mouth, none of the physical evidence that has been available has anything to do with him, he is just innocently framed.

However, his children and grandchildren were not as determined as he was, and there were always one or two who couldn't bear the weight and poured out everything that should be said and what should not be said.

Some people say that he did see King Peng and King Langling in private, as if they were secretly discussing something. At that time, he also wanted to call the king of Langling County and ask him why he came to King Peng's mansion, but the king of Langling County had King Peng's henchmen by his side, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Some people say that he feels that the parts around King Peng often change, his face is always very unfamiliar, and when he replies, he doesn't look like an authentic Chang'an person at all, but has a strange accent. Presumably, these people must be the tribes that King Peng secretly cultivated somewhere!!

Some people also said that he had seen Princess Peng hold a banquet, and Princess Anxing secretly met with King Peng for some reason. At that time, he felt that there might be some unspeakable relationship between the two, after all, Princess An Xing was notorious outside, so he didn't dare to make a noise. Now that I think about it, I probably have a conspiracy.

It is also said that when King Peng's eldest grandson was born, he was so happy that he rewarded many treasures. And those treasures are almost all things from the Western Regions, unseen, unheard of, and priceless. According to King Peng's food seal, even if he has spent several years in the treasury, he can't get back these treasures, and there must be some shady transactions in private.

All in all, the three divisions have obtained all kinds of circumstantial evidence from the mouths of most of King Peng's children and grandchildren. No matter how cautious King Rao is, it is impossible for King Peng not to leave any traces. Even if he cleans up many traces afterwards, it is impossible to completely eliminate those who inadvertently find clues. And these people may be his concubines, they may be his descendants, and more likely they may be some slave or tribe.

Even if none of these people knew what King Peng had conspired with the King of Langling County and Princess Anxing, wasn't there still the master of King Peng's Mansion? Didn't he "just hear" it? With this witness of the first accusator, all the testimony and evidence can be perfectly connected!!

What? Don't think this important testimony is enough? Isn't there still the long history of King Peng's Mansion and many other subordinate officials? How could there be one or two cronies hiding in it who knew the inside story?! If they don't confess at the moment, it must be King Peng who took control of their family and threatened them with their lives!! As long as they know that after they confess to King Peng's rebellion, they can keep the peace of their family, how can they not confess?

Sure enough, after the interrogation, more testimonies were given by officials of King Peng's mansion. not only confirmed that King Peng did have a heart of treason, but also hooked up another clan king with real power. The king of Langling County is just a pretense, a puppet of King Peng who is deliberately trying to get rid of the Yue Wangfu and use the power of the Yue Wangfu. Secretly, the county king who can help King Peng and communicate with the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo tribes is the conspirator of King Peng!!

It was only at this time that the ministers who thought that the saint just wanted to avenge the king of Yue came back to their senses - it turned out that the saint set up this game, not only to let King Peng taste the taste of "treating others in his own way", but also to lure out the hidden rebels! He was suspicious of the King of Yong'an and the King of Hejian who were guarding the frontier, and even the King of Jiangxia who had inherited the heir, and wanted to take the opportunity to pull out the chess pieces they had hidden in the capital, and then wait for the reaction of these two county kings!!

Indeed, if King Peng wants to rebel, of course, he can't be empty-handed, and he must hold the military power to have a chance to succeed. And if he hadn't colluded with the King of Yong'an County or the King of Hejian County, who had led the army for many years, or secretly wooed the old subordinates of the King of Jiangxia, where would he have the confidence to frame the Yue Wangfu? Why is it so arrogant? As if everything is under control?

However, even if King Peng's case caused a storm in the city, implicated dozens of officials, large and small, and made the court new, the king of the clan who secretly rebelled was still dormant. As a result, the sage had to temporarily close the case and close the case of King Peng. As for the hidden rebel, he can only continue to investigate without a trace.

At the court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival, the three divisions took the initiative to report the beginning and end of King Peng's rebellion and evidence in an orderly manner. In the end, Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Imperial History Zhongcheng believed that according to the law, King Peng should be sentenced to death. Since he is the prince of the clan, he can save his last face by hanging himself or taking poisoned wine.

"Well, how can I bear it?" The sage shook his head, "King Peng is my uncle after all......"

"In the previous case of King Yue's rebellion, didn't the second father's family be deposed as concubines and exiled to Lingnan?" In the clan, King Jing and King Lu wanted to speak and stopped, only King Xin'an Jun took over, "After all, my uncle and grandfather did not really plot rebellion, and collusion with foreign enemies did not affect the border garrison for the time being. Uncle and nephew also feel ...... It is true that my uncle and grandfather did not sin to death. ”

"......" The ministers were silent for a while--Wait, don't you uncle and nephew have a tacit understanding? Why is it that the saint is just a little embarrassed, and the king of Xin'an really thinks that he can't bear it? Could it be that you haven't discussed it in private, do you want to let King Peng live?!

"So-" The saint pondered for a moment, and was about to bow his head in agreement, when he saw the prince offer a column, and said aloud, "The saint is clear." Rebellion due to unscrupulous intentions is not the same thing as colluding with foreign enemies, colluding with outsiders, and plotting against others! Weichen thinks that the rebellion case of King Peng is completely different from the rebellion case of King Yue and the rebellion of the abolished prince during the reign of the first emperor!! It should be punished severely!! ”

"This ...... It also seems to make sense. When the saint heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows.

"......" The ministers exchanged glances: The king of Xin'an and this king actually disagreed?! What the hell is going on?! Shouldn't they be the young men that the saint has been favoring most lately? And aren't they friends who have been friends for many years? How can they be opposed at such a time?!
