After hearing Wang Shenyan's confession, they were shocked when they heard Wang Shenyan's confession, they didn't expect that Wei Liuxing and his ilk would vainly trust orthodoxy and use the methods of evil demons to do tricks and murders, without the gentle and jade-like style of Confucian disciples, and greatly lost the style of Confucian gentlemen.

This day was early in the morning, and King Yin of Kaifeng Mansion brought the collected case files, and went to the court hand in hand with Yang Ji, the secretary of Dali Temple.

This time the early dynasty was on the fifth watch day, and the sky was not yet bright, but I saw that the lights in the Zichen Hall were bright, and the hall was already crowded.

Then the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stood on two sides, the civil officer on the left and the military attache on the right.

The first on the left is the same as the Ping Zhangshi, and the first on the right is generally a privy envoy, and they are ranked according to their official positions.

Generally, the upper court is a Beijing official with more than five ranks, but the imperial history platform does not require a work rank (of course, the imperial history is generally not less than seven ranks).

After coming over for a while, I saw Emperor Zhao Zhen and Empress Dowager Liu E coming to the main hall one after another to sit.

Then I heard the eunuch shouting: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

At this time, I saw an imperial history from the Imperial History Observatory come out and say: "Official, Weichen has something to play." ”

This person was the superintendent Cao Xiugu, so I heard him say loudly: "Wechen impeached Meng Ming, a senior political scholar, and set on murder and hurt people, so that my Confucian children were bleeding in front of the hall of the University of Tokyo; Weichen also wanted to impeach Meng Ming for tampering with the holy school, deviating from the scriptures, and causing trouble to the scholars, in the long run, the holy school will fall into the treacherous way, for the sake of the world, and also ask the official family and the court to carry out the punishment of the gentleman, and kill this fang. ”

After he finished playing, he then handed over the recital, Zhao Zhen picked up the recital and looked at it, and saw that Cao Xiugu listed Meng Ming's twenty major sins, all of which were unpunishable sins.

The more Zhao Zhen looked at it, the more angry he became, all these incriminating evidence were all made by chasing after the wind, hearsay, and fabrication, and there was no evidence at all, and it could not withstand scrutiny.

Of course, the biggest one is that Meng Ming is a "villain" who has the "five evils", and has the ability to confuse the public to rebel, and he and Shao Zhengmao and Hua Shi and others who were killed in history are "different worlds" and must be killed.

Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore at this time, he angrily threw the song on Cao Xiugu's face, and then stood up and walked to the high platform of the main hall.

Then I saw him angrily pointing at Cao Xiugu and saying: "It's just nonsense, look at what you wrote, it's all false accusations and fabricated words, do you know what the crime of slandering the court officials is?" ”

At this time, Cheng Lu Zongdao in the imperial history came out and said: "Qi Guanjia, the Imperial History Observatory has always heard of rumors, please don't intimidate Cao Yushi, if you are convicted for your words, then who dares to supervise the hundred officials in the imperial history of the Taiwan Imperial Academy, and take the dynasty as a platform." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Lu Aiqing, the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory and the Imperial Counselor's Yuan have heard about it, and they can't be honest and maliciously framed, you go and see what is written on the recital of this imperial history, it is simply polluted my eyes,"

Lu Zongdao picked up the recital and hurriedly looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, this was simply a frame-up, and he suddenly felt a fever on his face.

He threw away the piece directly before he finished reading it, and then pointed at Cao Xiugu and scolded angrily,

I heard him shout: "Okay, you Cao Xiugu, under the pretense of rumors, you actually framed the court officials, what is your intention?" It is simply to smear and disgrace Taiwan's admonitions. ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked Cao Xiugu to the ground.

Lu Zongdao bowed down to Zhao Zhen at this time and pleaded guilty: "Official, there is such a scum in my imperial history platform, it is indeed the fault of the Weichen Imperial Majesty who is not strict, and I also ask the official family to punish and remove the Weichen Imperial History from the post of Zhongcheng." ”

Zhao Zhen said at this time: "Lu Aiqing, you are serious, and you are also unintentional, but you must remember this lesson, and the Yushitai must not have this kind of despicable behavior of framing colleagues again; In the future, those who dare to maliciously frame the officials of the imperial court will be guilty of the same crime as the crime of framing. ”

At this time, King Yin of Kaifeng Mansion followed him and said: "Official, Weichen is now presenting the case files of the bloody case of the protesters in the University Hall of Tokyo and the assassination of Meng Yuma to you. ”

Zhao Zhen sent a eunuch to take over the case file, and then looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he devoted, and finally his face showed a look of shock.

After he finished reading it, he handed over the file to the ministers in the political hall for circulation, Lu Yijian read it first, and then handed it to the governors to read, and it took about a stick of incense to circulate it.

Zhao Zhen handed over the case file to Zhang Huaizheng, the priest of the country, Zhang Huaizheng was shocked when he saw it, and then hurriedly asked him for guilt.

I heard him accuse: "The official, Weichen is guilty, I don't know that the country has such a scum who deceives the world and steals his name, Weichen has the responsibility of negligence, please punish the official." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at him noncommittally, and then asked him to step back and wait for his life.

Zhao Zhen asked the eunuch to return the case file to Yin Wangsui of Kaifeng Mansion, and asked him to continue to investigate the case and arrest the culprit.

He asked Lu Yijian: "Lu Xianggong, tell me your opinion." ”

Lu Yijian said: "Official, these two cases are actually a series of cases, planned and implemented by the same person, and now it seems that it was done by Wei Liuxing, a professor of Guozijian, who regarded himself as Confucian orthodoxy, and has always opposed Meng Juma's Xinxue, and regarded Xinxue as a flood of beasts, so he planned these two cases, and wanted to put Meng Juma, Xinxue and the University of Tokyo to death, and the means were despicable and should be severely punished." ”

At this time, Xia Zhu, the governor of the government, came out and added: "Official, there is a case in which the Tangut people are involved, and it should be thoroughly investigated to see if there is any suspicion of rebelling against the Great Song Dynasty and secretly communicating with the Western Xia." ”

At this time, Qian Weiyan, another governor of the political council, also came out and said: "Official, in fact, this is Wei Liuxing's defense of the so-called Confucian orthodoxy and the implementation of a "gentleman's punishment" against Meng Juma, which is purely a dispute within Confucianism. It is a bit too much to say that he collaborated with the enemy, and Wei Liuxing is also a master of Confucianism and is well versed in the "Huayi debate". ”

He then said: "Official, Wei Liuxing's handling of the problem is better to be cautious, and I also ask the official family to listen to the views and opinions of the people's Confucianism and scholars, so as not to cause violent criticism." ”

Let's not talk about the DPRK and China for the time being.

Moreover, after Meng Ming passed the letter to Yang Wenguang, Yang Wenguang was also stunned, and immediately led three platoons of cadets with guns to rescue the women and children detained by the "Dragon Gang", including Cao Ning, Gao Wenhuan, and Shi Yanbin.

He met Zhang Miaoniang, and under her guidance, he went down the sewer one after another and entered the so-called "Sanssouci Cave", during which Zhang Miaoniang also brought a few women and bought some clothes for the women and children in the cage to change.

Zhang Miaoniang marched all the way along the code she marked, and Yang Wenguang led the army to follow, he scattered the three rows of soldiers and marched in batches, so as not to attract people's ears and eyes, and leak the rumors, and then alarmed the bandits of the "Dragon Gang" and let them escape.

Yang Wenguang and a group of students were also shocked by the "unique cave" in the Sanssouci Cave, and they were overwhelmed by the flow of people, including homes, gambling houses, and snack streets; Seeing this hustle and bustle like the ground, I also felt incredible.

They didn't have time to take care of these, and they didn't have time to appreciate the different scenes during the period, so they didn't say a word, and hurried to the lair of the "Dragon Gang".

The group walked in the underground waterway for a long time, but Zhang Miaoniang had already seen the nest of the "Dragon Gang" in front of her, and was immediately overjoyed, and then took two steps and hurried forward.

Yang Wenguang knew that his destination was approaching, and quickly signaled to Gao Wenhuan behind him to let him play as a striker.

Gao Wenhuan took the order and left, and saw him wave his hand to the team members, and then he held a musket and paced towards the bandits' lair.

At this time, Yang Wenguang also arrived in front of the lair of the "Dragon Gang", he observed its closed stone door, and saw the three big red characters "Dragon Gang" written crookedly on the door, and immediately sneered a few times.

I heard him say: "Vulgar people, chickens and dogs and thieves, dare to call dragons." ”

Then he gave the order, and the cadets immediately knelt on the ground, armed with muskets, and made a shooting gesture, and surrounded the place.
