Chapter 489: The trial begins

/a

When Zheng He returned to the palace, the palace gate was almost locked.

At this time, Zhu Di had already returned to the inner palace, Zhu Di did not have many concubines, Zheng He inquired about the inner division, and knew that the emperor was still staying at the queen's place tonight, so he went directly to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, are washing Zhu Di's feet. Although Empress Xu was already noble, and now she is a queen, she doesn't need to do this. But the husband and wife are very affectionate, and now she has become the queen of the world, this point remains the same, as long as her husband stays in her room, she must serve her husband to wash and change clothes.

Zhu Di has a pair of old cold legs, it is very comfortable to scald her feet with hot water, Queen Xu dried her husband's feet, Zhu Di retracted her legs back on the bed, covered with a quilt, the palace maid carried the bucket down, MILFs cleaned their hands, returned to the bed and sat down, whispered with her husband, and chatted softly.

At this time, a palace maid quietly came in, stood on the edge of the screen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zheng He's father-in-law asks to see you!" ”

"Oh, Sanbaosi is here, call him in."

Empress Xu knew that Zheng He's request to see him at this hour must have something important, so he smiled softly at Zhangyao and said: ...... Don't get too tired yourself, I'll go take a bath! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di agreed, Xu Hou flashed out, Zheng He stood in the outer hall, bowed down to see Niangniang away, and then walked in gently.

Zhu Di glanced at him and asked, "How to hold ......?"

Zheng He said: "Back to the emperor, what Yang Xu said is not false. The slave and maid went to the prison to inquire about the prisoner, and if they couldn't hide it, they had already submitted the person's certificate separately and protected it according to the emperor's instructions. ”

"Isn't there a falsehood......

Zhu Yan leaned on the pillow, staring at the candle flame on the wall, slightly distracted.

Zheng He stood quietly and waited for a long time before he said softly: "The emperor seems to be very disappointed......

speculated on the holy will, and raised it face to face, only Zheng He and Gou'er, who had been following and waiting by Zhu Di's side, would dare.

Zhu Di muttered: "Sanbao, Shuangyuwei colluded with the Koukou, this is one thing: Yang Xu shielded maritime merchants and smuggled for profit, this is another thing. Although this incident was exposed because of that incident, there is no necessary relationship between the two. It's just that because of one thing, another piece was discovered. ”

Zheng He listened quietly and did not interject.

Zhu Di said: "But", there are people who are stunned to connect these two things and come up with evidence. Now it is proved that Yang Xu's incident has a hidden secret, not just as it appears on the surface, so ...... Another thing, is it also false? ”

Zheng He said obediently: "Your Majesty, maybe ......" Shuangyu Wei's affair with the Koukou is true, after the accidental robbery of the Luzon merchant ship, some people pretend to be clever and forcibly link this matter with the parties involved in another matter, in order to obtain greater benefits. ”

Zhu Di smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, then it's easy to do." What if not? ”

Zheng He owed a debt and did not answer.

Zhu Di nodded, shook his head again, and suddenly asked: "Sanbao, you say, who is the person who hears the most lies in this world......

Zheng He understood what he meant, was silent for a moment, and replied bitterly: "Back to the emperor, it's the emperor!" ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if a person is full of lies, can he still see the truth and make the right decision......

Zheng He said in a low voice: 'The emperor is wise and powerful'...... wise."

Zhu Yan glanced at him and reproached: "Do you want to join the lying team against me?" ”

Zheng He bowed and didn't dare to speak again.

Zhu Di said: "Wise and martial, smart and wise, then you have to hear the right information to make the right judgment."

I won't hide it from you, originally, I didn't mean to kill Yang Xu, but if he was really corrupt, he would be indispensable. Officials are the ones who govern the world for me, and officials are greedy and despicable, and will corrupt all discipline to the point of ruin.

However, I am very afraid now, and I am afraid that Shuangyuwei's collusion with the Kou is also fake. I, I have just sat in the world, and it has only been more than half a year, and the soldiers who have followed me to kill in the east and west, and the blood-stained robes will be corrupted and degenerated to this point? It's just a matter of lying about the military situation and passing the buck, and even dare to frame the bureaucrats! Although they were pirates, this ...... How bold you have to be,"

He was silent for a moment, and said to himself: "A man who has been a soldier all his life and has never been a fancy man, has told the truth in front of you all his life, and has only enjoyed the glory and wealth for a few days, and he tells lies in front of you, and he speaks in a manner that is bold and unscrupulous!" Sanbao, Yang Xu and I have merit, Qiu Fu and I also have merit, if it comes to understanding and trusting, Qiu Fu has been following me for more than 20 years, and I trust him even more, but if he ......, "Isn't it terrible to say?" ”

Zheng He glanced at Zhu Di and said cautiously: "The slave believes that no matter what the Duke of Qi has done, he wants to evade responsibility, or he has a personal grudge with the Duke of Fuguo, but ...... His loyalty to the emperor has not changed. What's more, Qi Guogong has always been in charge of Beijing, how is the truth of Xidong...... "If the emperor is deceived, why can't Qi Guogong be deceived?" ”

Zhu Di closed his eyes and said softly: "I hope so!" I hope so! ”

The emperor is not a person who is directly responsible for hearing the case, and he always feels that it is normal for the emperor to personally reconcile the prisoners. However, in fact, no matter in ancient or modern times, it is very taboo for the supreme ruler to bypass the judicial organ to meet and inquire about such a serious suspicion of a senior member of the imperial court.

The emperor's every move is not unnoticed by people, and even the direction of the court can be easily reversed because of the will of the saint, how many officials who are good at drilling camps are trying to figure out the will of the saint to do things, such a big case that has attracted much attention, you go to meet the suspect in advance, what do you want to do? What do you want to tell everyone? , because it was not good to dispel the queen's mind, he met with Yang Xu without authorization, Zhu Di originally had his own remorse for destroying the law, but now he was very happy to be afraid.

Being deaf and dumb and at the mercy of others is something that no ruler can tolerate.

Fight the world, he succeeded: sit in the world, can he succeed?

Zhu Di made up his mind in his heart, if the evidence was conclusive and Qiu Fu was trapped in it, then he would not be spared.

The problems reflected by the war situation in Xidong have been extended from the extension of the novel to the inside, and he must stifle this bad sign, and appeasement will nurture adultery!

If you want to use him Zhu Di as a puppet, absolutely not!

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces tried the case of Shuangyuwei's collusion with the Koukou and the case of the Auxiliary State Minister's Office instructing Shuangyuwei to shield foreign merchant ships for smuggling for profit.

Xia Xun's case is a case derived from this case, which is attached to it, but it has a certain degree of independence, which of the two cases will be tried first and which will be tried later, the emperor did not explain, in short, this bad debt was thrown to them, Zhu Di only asked about the result, regardless of the process!

Today's official of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is surnamed Long Mingfei, his name is a good name, and he also looks like a talent, but when he sits there, he has no momentum at all, and he doesn't look like the director of the interrogation.

There is no way, he is the chief judge, but the judge of the five armies is only a five-grade official, and the officials on the side are all older than him, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Ying, the imperial envoy of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xue Pin, the secretary of Dali Temple. Even the crowd of auditors was bigger than him, and the three products of Jinyi and Wei all commanded the envoy Ji Gang.

The most impressive thing is that there are also supervisors, and the supervisors are the two princes, His Royal Highness Zhu Gaochi and His Royal Highness Zhu Gaoxu.

What about the judge on trial? Xu Hu and Wang Yuxia are also bigger than him, and the tonnage of Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary country, makes him even more frightened, who can hold down the field with such a thunderous lineup?

At this moment, the dragon judge who wanted to cry without tears really wanted to sing a paragraph "It's difficult to be an official...... : The prince and the marquis sued the official, and they want me, a small official, to judge the big official and the big official. They were the officials of the rulers, but I, the rulers who were in charge, how could I be in charge of the officials who were in charge of the officials, and the officials who were in charge of the officials, and the officials who were in charge. Officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, call me, call me, call me how to be an official? I've become a deflated officer caught in a crack in a stone! ”

Long Fei walked up to the hall tremblingly, first saluted the two princes, the princes, the Shangshu, the imperial envoy, and the governor, and then rubbed behind his main case, and instead of sitting, he stood up, and asked the two princes with a smile: "Your Highness, Second Highness, you two look at it...... Today, will we first try the case of the auxiliary state public covering up and smuggling, or the case of Shuangyu Wei's fornication? ”

"Trial Yang Xu first!"

"Trial Xu Hu first!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu spoke in unison, and then glanced at each other.

Before the two princes came, they had already received a message from their father, Zhu Di, who told them that Yang Xu was secretly in charge of the Flying Dragon secret spy and was in charge of detecting the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunant, and the two princes knew that Yang Xu still had such a force in his hands and was engaged in such a confidential task. Zhu Di told them that he had found out the truth about Xia Xun's shielding of foreign smuggling.

Smuggling, yes! It is true, but the real purpose under this package is to use the power of the local clans in Luzon to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, which is a major matter related to the stability of the country, so it doesn't matter if there is such a trivial matter as smuggling. The implication is that Yang Xu has been wronged, and this person must be protected, not only guaranteed, but also protected by changing the law.

Because smuggling, after all, is a violation of the law of the country, and the imperial court can do it expediently in order to achieve a greater purpose, but it cannot openly inform the world, and in order to achieve a greater goal, we, the legislative, judicial, and law enforcers, can corrupt the law of the country. Therefore, the crime of smuggling must also be erased.

In this way, invisibly, Zhu Gaochi has already gained the upper hand. Of course, he hopes that Yang Xu will be tried first, and Yang Xu will be innocent, so the Xu Hu case, which is like a mountain of ironclad cases, will be loosened, which will be more beneficial to him. And Zhu Gaoxu wants to try Xu Hu first, since Yang Xu can't be defeated, he has to confirm Xu Hu's crime no matter what, so that he is still protecting his own strength, and he will severely defeat the power of the imperial brother's family.

The two princes had different opinions, Long Fei was in a dilemma, and suddenly saw the three side trials, he immediately had a backbone, and asked with a smile: "So according to the opinions of the three adults, should we judge Yang Xu first today, or Xu Hu first?" (To be continued)
