Chapter 67: Who's in the Game

Zuo Wei thought about it all night, the green tendons at the corners of his forehead throbbed and throbbed, there was no way to solve the current problem, Zuo Zhen didn't care about it first, at least he had to take the Zuo family out first, once the Zuo family fell, it was useless to say anything.

After a night's hard work, Zuo Wei was already physically and mentally exhausted, and his heart was always restless, seeing that it was time to go to the morning court, he rubbed his sore forehead, stood up and called people to prepare water to wash, changed into court clothes and went to the palace in a sedan chair.

Today's early dynasty is particularly different, and most of the ministers find the atmosphere of this morning court very strange, at least a small half of them are talking about the recent anecdotes in the prime minister's house, and it is obvious that some people are waiting to see the jokes.

Someone saw Zuo Wei arrive, and there was a little schadenfreude in their eyes, most of these people were officials of the Second Prince's faction, as for the people of the Great Prince's faction, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, there is a solution to the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they must not be laughed at by the officials of the Second Prince's faction.

Zuo Wei listened to the questions of the colleagues around him, his face showed an extremely helpless wry smile, his heart sank a little, his eyes turned to the group of officials opposite, he could see the intentions of those people, but he had no way to relieve himself, it was really difficult, and today's morning dynasty was going to be delayed again.

Today is a little special, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Zuo Wei.

As soon as Mu Haoyu arrived, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and when the ministers knelt down and saluted, they didn't call out, and the ministers could only kneel.

When the discerning official saw the emperor's cloudy look, he secretly said that something was wrong, and secretly glanced at the left eye, and he had already guessed most of it, and what would happen next can be imagined.

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Haoyu opened his mouth, he angrily reprimanded Zuo Wei: "Zuo Wei, are you guilty? ”

This sound fell, so frightened that the kneeling ministers trembled in their hearts, their heads hung lower, and secretly said to themselves, Lord Zuo asked for more blessings, it seems that the emperor is not light, and even the early court deliberations have been pushed back. came up directly and asked Zuo Wei to blame.

"The minister is guilty." It is difficult for Zuo Wei not to admit his guilt, and he is even more worried about what crime the emperor will treat him.

"The good daughter you raised, I also remembered that you had promised the name of Zuo's precious concubine for the sake of your dedication to the country, but now you are not satisfied with the murder of your daughter and the destruction of Hening's appearance. I also want to have bad intentions towards the lord of Zunyi. The more Mu Haoyu spoke, the more angry he became, and he directly picked up a stack of folds on the table and threw it towards Zuo Wei.

Mu Haoyu didn't pretend to be this time, he was really angry, not to mention anything else, just a little Zuo Zhen had a crooked heart towards the county lord of Zunyi, and it would not work if he stepped on his bottom line, no matter whose daughter she was, she couldn't just scold her lightly.

He was a treasure in the palm of his hand, how could he allow others to hurt, even if he had the slightest intention. If you don't say it, no one will know, once you find it out, it will be despising the imperial power, the county lord of Zunyi is the county lord who was personally decreed by Mu Haoyu, and no one can be disrespectful to the county lord of Zunyi.

The ministers below were shocked, and the emperor threw something to mean that this matter was definitely stricter than imagined. For this reason, the ministers did not dare to look at Zuo Weizuo, who was injured by the sharp corners, and they all secretly exclaimed in their hearts, good guy arson with women is a terrible crime, plus the victim is the princess of the dynasty and Ning, it is even more unkind, once the crime is confirmed, Zuo Wei and the entire Zuo family have to pay the due price, even if they don't die, they have to take off their skin.

However, some people's attention was focused on the last sentence that the emperor said. How does it sound a bit like talking about Princess Hening being injured, in essence, it is indeed emphasizing the content of the last sentence, and the four words of Zunyi County Lord broke into his ears in a grand manner.

Although a few ministers inexplicably felt that the emperor's intentions seemed to be more concerned about the second half of the sentence, they did not think deeply, thinking that the emperor had a little protection of the county lord of Zunyi, and that was all, and now they should pay more attention to the affairs of Zuo Wei and Prime Minister Ouyang Ye.

There are also some ministers who feel that the emperor is angry. But he will not really dismiss Lord Zuo's position, even if Zuo Zhen hurt the princess, but before his life is at stake, he will not really dispose of the important ministers who are used in the dynasty for the sake of small tricks and hatred between women.

Only Ouyang Ye knows the inside story of this outrage best, the emperor is just using the topic to play, if there is no Zuo Zhen disrespectful to the county lord of Zunyi. Zuo Zhen's matter should not be brought to the court. No matter how you look at it, it's a trivial matter, it's not worth being angry with the emperor, and it even has the intention of suppressing the Zuo family.

All in all, the lord of Zunyi is a precious person who cannot be said and touched, where the emperor's scales are, looking back at the past and looking at the past and the present, everything that is involved with the lord of Zunyi, whether it is reasonable or not, is to take the lord of Zunyi first.

Zuo Wei seems to have kicked the iron plate this time, thanks to his insistence on going his own way with Zuo Zhen, no matter how much he can't stop people from rushing to find death, Ouyang Ye lamented for Zuo Wei again, the good daughter he gave birth to, and put the whole family into it.

The eldest prince Mu Zhao glanced at Zuo Wei, who was silent, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he wanted to intercede for Zuo Wei, in his opinion, the whole thing was a small drama of the inner house battle, there was no need to waste time by taking it to the court, the court was set up to deal with national affairs, and should not delay political affairs for a little big thing, he felt that his father was making a big fuss, no matter what, he had to say a few words for Zuo Wei, at least not to implicate the entire Zuo family for this matter, it was a big deal to just dispose of Zuo Zhen, Why ask for a sin of conspiracy.

The eldest prince was just about to open his mouth to intercede for Zuo Wei, but was interrupted by Mu Haoyu, and did not give any minister who wanted to intercede for Zuo Wei a chance to speak.

Mu Haoyu didn't need to listen to Zuo Wei's defense at all, he convicted Zuo Wei of the crime resolutely, dismissed Zuo Wei's official position, fined him for one year, and reflected at home.

The emperor's decisive and resolute disposal method made the ministers present almost lose their eyes, this, just for a little thing, they were dismissed and went home, too, too ......

Some ministers want to say that the emperor is unfair, even if Zuo is only at fault, he should not be punished heavily, just think about it behind closed doors, there is no need to really remove from his official position, right?

I really didn't see that Princess Hening was so important in the eyes of the emperor, and some ministers muttered, why didn't they find out that Princess Hening was favored before, just hurt her face, and she was not really disfigured, so she took off Zuo Wei's official position. To say that it is too unsatisfactory to sit together.

Some words can only be thought about in the heart, and you can't really stupidly pick out and say that the emperor is angry and maybe looking for someone to vent his anger, and he just hit the muzzle of the gun. That's stupid.

The officials of the eldest prince's faction are in a hurry, and the left is the foundation of the eldest prince's faction, and it is the right hand of the eldest prince, how can it be said that it is degraded, and there are officials who are not afraid of death who are begging the emperor to take back his life under the instruction of the eldest prince.

Mu Haoyu knew that the faction of the eldest prince who had lost Zuo Wei would stand up and plead regardless of Yiqiē, and turned his gaze to the second prince, he was very much looking forward to it, his second son came prepared today, otherwise he would not have intentionally let go of Zuo's only life.

Sure enough, the officials of the Second Prince's faction moved. At the suggestion of the second prince Mu Rong, the officials of the second prince's faction played the impeachment of Zuo Weizuo for accepting bribes and bending the law for personal gain, a series of 12 crimes, and paid the evidence corresponding to the crime.

At this moment, the court blew up, and the ministers who already had opinions on the emperor's unfair handling broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that this was a premeditated trap, the second prince seized the opportunity to overthrow the eldest prince's faction, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence, the emperor was angry with the daughter of the Zuo family, and was angry with Zuo Wei and even the Zuo family. Of the twelve crimes, which one is enough for Zuo Wei to drink a pot.

"Bring it in." Mu Haoyu's face is even darker now, and just one glance can surprise people into a cold sweat.

Dozens of copies were presented, and a thick stack of incriminating evidence was placed in front of the emperor, and the ministers below were already silent, and they were all holding their breath for fear that a little noise would alarm the emperor. The consequences are unimaginable.

Mu Haoyu flipped through the pages of the incriminating evidence presented, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the more he looked at it, the chill in his eyes became even worse, and the hand holding the evidence couldn't help but tremble, obviously angry to the extreme, and it was difficult to vent it.

Mu Haoyu threw the evidence in front of Zuo Wei, who was kneeling. shouted angrily: "This is my good courtier, my good Aiqing!" He was so angry that he didn't want to speak again.

"Look, it's all good for me to see, 12 pieces of criminal evidence, how many innocent lives have been lost!" Mu Haoyu laughed angrily: "I raise you moths who eat imperial grain, I really have no eyes, these things are enough for your Zuo family to be beheaded all over the house, even I have no shame to face the innocent souls who are tragic in your hands." "Speaking of the painful place, the eyes are already red and dripping blood, the hall is quiet, the needle can be heard, and the ministers kneeling on the ground dare not squeak, lest they be used as a punching bag by the emperor.

The pages of evidence that fell in front of them, they didn't dare to reach out directly to take it if they wanted to see it, and a slight movement was like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing a circle of ripples, triggering the uneasy atmosphere now, and moving the whole body, they didn't want to be picked out and criticized.

"All the official positions that wanted to intercede before were demoted." Mu Haoyu spoke, "Zuo Wei will be temporarily detained and handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, and if it is true, it will not be tolerated!" ”

Mu Haoyu looked at the eldest prince Mu Zhao who was in a cold sweat again, "The eldest prince Mu Zhao supervised the felony of dereliction of duty and connived at the officials under him to deceive and conceal the law and despise the law. ”

"Yes, the son will not be dishonored." Mu Rong immediately stepped forward to receive the order, not to mention how happy he was, and glanced at Mu Zhao provocatively, meaning that you also have today.

Although Mu Zhao was nervous, he was not really messed up, he was shocked by the surprise of the second prince and his father's thunderous means, to say that none of the things that Zuo Wei did was unknown to him, but Mu Zhao was smart and smart, everything was done by Zuo Wei, and he was clean and did not interfere at all, even if everyone knew that Zuo Wei was his own person, but he could not be convicted without evidence, the second prince wanted to ask his father for credit, but it was even more wishful thinking, and now Zuo Wei has been exposed, must not stay any longer, although it is a pity to lose Zuo Wei's rare left and right hand, but he can't and can't protect Zuo Wei, so he has to lose his pawn to protect the car. If you want to blame Zuo Wei for being too careless, the fast back and forth was not dealt with afterwards, leaving it for people to grasp the handle, those officials who were involved with Zuo Wei can't ask for it now, the second prince now has the holy will, it is the time to do a big job to prove it to everyone, he can't fall into it again, only wait quietly, by the second prince to check, he wants to see when the second prince can jump.

There are more than a dozen officials involved in Zuo Wei's matter, and on the premise that there is evidence from the list, these people have been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department before they can leave the main hall, and their officials' families are also guarded by officers and soldiers.

Now the second prince is proud, and the eldest prince's faction is at a disadvantage, and all of them are shrewdly hiding at home to keep their eyes on the future in order to survive.

The second prince is not stupid, if it weren't for his father's light this time, he wouldn't have been so smooth to take down Zuo Wei and hit the eldest prince's faction hard, he wouldn't really get carried away, thinking that he could eradicate the eldest prince in one fell swoop now, he knew Mu Zhao's sex very well, and he must be accumulating strength waiting for a turnaround.

How can the second prince give the eldest prince a chance to turn the tables, the iron must be struck while it is hot, and if one can be eliminated, one of the officials of the eldest prince's faction can be one less, which is extremely beneficial to himself.

The court meeting was delayed for an hour, and it was not easy to settle all the things that should be played today, and then the court was dispersed, and the ministers dragged their tired and frightened bodies back to the mansion and closed the door, let out a word, and refused to visit the door.

The ministers were shocked and closed their doors to avoid trouble, and after this day, the ministers once again learned what is unpredictable. Fortunately, I was innocent and did not participate in it.

No matter how scared the ministers are, it is obvious that the deterrent effect that Mu Haoyu wants has been achieved, and it is thanks to him that he is helping the second child collect evidence behind his back, otherwise this good show will really not be able to sing.

Mu Rong really thought that those criminal evidence were easy to obtain, but he didn't know how much effort Mu Haoyu had behind his back, if it weren't for the lack of Mu Rong's city mansion, Mu Haoyu would not have used him to suppress the Great Prince's faction.

Mu Haoyu said in his heart, the two sons are not angry, fortunately, they have the value of use, if they are really scheming, they will be the ones who have a headache in the end.

As soon as Qiē entered the chess game according to the plan, look at the ability and means of the second prince Mu Rong, don't let people down.
