"The ministers have no such intentions, ask the emperor to learn from them!" While he begged for mercy, another minister also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others thought that Prince Lian was out of the intention of training the prince, and they absolutely didn't know that he had such wolf ambitions, and the ministers were all deceived by him. ”

His words were agreed by the others, kneeling on the ground and nodding non-stop, but no matter how they argued, Yinzhen's face was as ugly as ever, and after glancing around, he stared at Long Keduo, who was still standing, and said: "Long Keduo, what about you, were you also deceived by Yun Zhen?" ”

Hearing that Yinzhen changed his title, Long Keduo's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the emperor, the ministers, like all the ministers, don't know the true intention of Prince Lian, but they are deceived by him and make ......."

"Enough!" Yin Zhen interrupted Long Keduo's words with a loud shout, and then walked up to Long Keduo, who was trembling, and said word by word: "They listened to Yun Xi's words and were instructed by him, which is understandable in my opinion, but you are my uncle, I have always respected and relied on you, and I have never treated you lightly, but you colluded with Yun Xi to deceive me and calculate my son, Long Keduo, you are really kind, kind!" ”

Listening to Yinzhen's angry voice, Long Keduo was extremely frightened, and kowtowed again and again: "The emperor forgives the sins!" The minister should die, the minister is really confused for a while, not intentionally, and please ask the emperor to read it for the sake of the minister's loyalty, and spare the minister's mistake this time! ”

"A piece of loyalty?" Yin Zhen sneered, "If you have the face to say these four words, I will panic for you." Hate to the extreme, his words unconsciously mean, he hated betrayal the most in his life, especially betrayed by the people around him, and Long Keduo undoubtedly committed this taboo.

Staring at Long Keduo, who kept kowtowing, Yin Zhen barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "What kind of benefits did Yun Zhen promise you to let you listen to him like this?" ”

Long Keduo didn't dare to answer, and still kowtowed, but his appearance did not make Yinzhen angry, but made him more and more angry, pointing at him and gritting his teeth: "Don't say yes, right?" Good! Good! I really have a good uncle. ”

After that, he pointed to a cadre of ministers and said, "What about you, what benefits did Yun Xi promise you?" Where did the ministers dare to answer, they kowtowed one after another, asking Yinzhen for forgiveness.

As long as Yin Zhen thought that Hongli's death was related to these people, the breath in his heart couldn't be eliminated, and he said coldly: "All of you have read books, and many of you are still from the imperial examination, you should know the seven words of 'benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and honesty', but you ask yourself, which of these seven words has been done?" Is it loyalty or filial piety? Is it propriety or righteousness? Yi Zhen said, you didn't do a word, but you learned that set of skills to deceive the king! ”

The ministers were scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads, but Yinzhen was still angry, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, every step was like stepping on the hearts of the ministers, which made their already overwhelmed hearts sink again.

Just when they were frightened, Yinzhen suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone! ”

With Yinzhen's words, the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall opened, and a group of guards who were outside at some time walked in, waiting for Yinzhen's orders.

Yin Zhen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of cold light, "Escort all these people down and put them in the prison of the Criminal Department to wait for interrogation!" ”

He didn't say that it made those ministers shocked, even Yun Xiang's face changed suddenly, he knew that Lu Dao was related to Hongli's life and death, even if these ministers were at the mercy of Yun Xu, not intent on harming Hongli, the fourth brother would not give up, but he never thought that he would put all these ministers in prison, you must know that among these ministers, there are many people in high positions, and being imprisoned will have a great impact, even the operation of court affairs will also have an impact.

Seeing that the guards were about to make a move, Yun Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the ministers are at fault, they are also at the mercy of others, not intentionally, and ask the emperor to open up on the Internet." ”

"You don't have to say any more, everything will be discussed after the trial." Yin Zhen's attitude was extremely resolute this time, and even Yun Xiang's words didn't make him change his mind.

As soon as they heard that they were going to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, all the ministers panicked, even Long Keduo was no exception, and kept saying, "The emperor forgives the sin!" The emperor forgives the sins! ”

It's a pity that no matter how much they shouted and begged for mercy, they couldn't change Yinzhen's mind, and more than a dozen ministers were all escorted down by the guards. With so many courtiers in prison together, there will be many words in the capital tomorrow.

After everyone was escorted down, Yun Xiang said: "Your Majesty, although these ministers are wrong, they are only wrong in believing Yun Xi's words, not deliberately deceiving the emperor. ”

The next moment, a mean voice sounded in Yun Xiang's ears, "If they don't call it cunning like this, then I really don't know what cunning is, especially Long Keduo, I trust him so much, and I actually colluded with Yun Yu, deceived me and didn't say anything, and made Hongli die in vain, if I don't treat their crimes, how can I be worthy of Hongli?!" ”

"The younger brother knows that the emperor is very sad because of the prince's affairs, but at most they are only being used, not intending to harm the prince; Besides, the emperor has locked up so many ministers at once, and many vacant positions have come out, which will inevitably affect the operation of various affairs of the imperial court. ”

Yin Zhen stared at Yun Xiang and said coldly: "According to your meaning, without these people, things can't be done?" ”

"Brother Chen didn't mean this, just ......" Without waiting for Yunxiang to finish speaking, Yinzhen already said: "It's okay if you don't mean that, let other officials take over the empty position, if you really can't handle it, hand it over to me, and I will deal with it." These people are colluding with Yun Yu behind my back, and they must not be tolerated. ”

Yin Zhen had already said this, Yun Xiang still said something, sighed and said: "Then how is the emperor going to deal with Long Keduo, he has always been the emperor's uncle." ”

Yin Zhen said coldly: "He is loyal to me, he is my uncle, if he is not loyal to me, he is nothing." ”

Hearing this, Yunxiang understood what Yinzhen meant, for Long Keduo, Yinzhen not only will not have a trace of affection, but will be more strict than others.

After being silent for a while, Yun Xiang said: "Tomorrow, the three divisions will interrogate Yun Xu, will the emperor go to hear the trial?" ”

Yin Zhen didn't answer his words, but just threw down a sentence, "I'll talk about it then." ”

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere with the previous dynasty, it does not prevent the news of the previous dynasty from reaching the harem, and at this time, everyone knows that Yinzhen is secretly investigating the cause of Hongli's death, and found out that Prince Lian Yunzhen is related to Hongli's death. This matter can be called the first major event since Yinzhen ascended the throne, so whether it is the previous dynasty or the harem, they will focus on tomorrow's triage of the three divisions.
