Chapter 25: Zhang Xiude's confession
Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong, nodded, and said in a sincere tone: "It's just that I'd rather believe it than believe it." Effective is naturally good, and if it doesn't, then there is nothing to lose. Sun Aiqing rest assured, I know what to do in my heart. ”
Originally, Sun Chengzong entered the palace with a little anger, and the words he was about to say were also a little intense, after all, the one who believed in the Dao of immortal cultivation in Daming did not bring any benefit to Daming.
It's just that now when he sees Zhu Youxiao's appearance, Sun Chengzong can't say these words, so he can only point to it, since Zhu Youxiao has said so, he can't say anything.
"Since this is the case, the minister will leave, and Your Majesty will take care of his body." Sun Chengzong stood up and saluted, then turned around and walked outside.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong's back, the expression on his face eased a lot, and he slowly fell into contemplation.
For Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao has a good impression in his heart, and most of this good impression comes from the ending of Sun Chengzong's previous life.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked on a large scale, and in November, it attacked Gaoyang.
Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, led the whole city to defend the city, but the city was broken and captured, and he hanged himself.
His five sons, six grandsons, two nephews, and eight nephews were killed in battle, and more than 100 members of the Sun family were killed, and Sun Chengzong was seventy-six years old.
Sun Chengzong's ending is not a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty, the building collapsed, the society collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty was lost.
Standing up from the wheelchair, Zhu Youxiao walked to the door of the main hall with an expressionless face.
The sky outside is still gloomy, the sky is full of snowflakes, and the air is slightly cool.
Raising his head and looking at the sky, Zhu Youxiao said softly: "In this life, I will not let you end up like that, and the Ming in this life will not be the same as in the past." ”
"This country will not be overturned again, and the society will not collapse again, so even if I am designated as the first faint monarch of the ages, I will not hesitate."
Seeing Zhu Youxiao standing there looking at the sky, a touch of worry flashed on Chen Hong's face, and after a while, he walked to Zhu Youxiao's side and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's cold, be careful." ”
Zhu Youxiao turned around and glanced at Chen Hong, walked back to his wheelchair, and then lightly ordered: "Push me back!" ”
Following Zhu Youxiao's instructions, Chen Hong took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Zhu Youxiao's wheelchair to disappear into the dark palace, they seemed to have walked into a huge mouth of darkness, and soon disappeared and never disappeared again.
After Sun Chengzong walked out of the palace, news about the palace spread.
Your Majesty is sick, and he has reached the point where he is not good at walking. Although it is said to be infected with wind chill, the scope of this infection wind chill can be widespread.
This Ming Emperor was infected with the wind and cold and died, that is not one, and the courtiers are in a very strange mood.
Dongchang, in prison.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Sun Yunhe in front of him expressionlessly, but Sun Yunhe stood aside in fear, obviously afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be angry.
"Someone spoke?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Sun Yunhe and asked directly, he was really in a hurry, if he couldn't ask anything, then this matter would be a big deal.
The emperor has been waiting for news from his side, if there is no news from his side, then Wei Zhongxian feels that he is afraid that it will come to an end, and he doesn't want to die.
"Father-in-law, someone has spoken." Sun Yunhe hurriedly took a few steps forward, and then said respectfully: "Zhang Xiude has spoken. ”
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was overjoyed, and he stood up directly and walked into the prison, asking as he walked, "What did he say?" ”
"Father-in-law, the lower officials haven't had time to interrogate yet." Sun Yunhe hurriedly bowed down and said, with a flattering smile on his face.
In fact, it's not that he didn't have time to ask, but he couldn't ask, Sun Yunhe didn't know what Wei Zhongxian wanted to ask from Zhang Xiude's mouth.
Once you ask yourself, if you don't ask the right question, wouldn't you want to eat melons? Sun Yunhe is not stupid, he can see from Wei Zhongxian's attitude that this must be a big case.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Sun Yunhe appreciatively, and the expression on his face was very satisfied, this Sun Yunhe is very good and can be a man.
Led people to the cell, Zhang Xiude had already been brought up at this time, the person was tied to a pillar, his head was bowed, and his body was covered with bloodstains, obviously left after torture.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Xiude's appearance, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but he was all happy, and finally spoke, as long as someone spoke, this matter would be much easier.
"Zhang Xiude, I heard that you are willing to say it? Then you just say take a look. With that, Wei Zhongxian sat down on the chair brought by the little eunuch behind him.
"I am, I framed Xiong Tingbi, I don't know anything about Liaodong, I haven't been there, my things, those things are told to me by others." Zhang Xiude raised his head and said in a trembling voice.
Wei Zhongxian immediately became excited, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"It's Li Ruzhen, the chief soldier of Liaodong." Zhang Xiude said directly: "At that time, Li Ruzhen invited me here and gave me three thousand taels of silver. ”
After saying this, Zhang Xiude lowered his head directly, and seemed to have used all his strength to faint.
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Come here, let him draw the detainment, loosen his ties, and take him down for healing, don't let him make mistakes." ”
The clerk hurriedly took the evidence, and then took Zhang Xiude's hand to draw a pledge on it, and then the person was carried down.
Wei Zhongxian holding the paperwork was simply a treasure.
Glancing at Sun Yunhe, Wei Zhongxian opened his mouth and said: "You keep an eye on me, our family will enter the palace right now, if something happens to him, you know what will happen to you." ”
Sun Yunhe naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely handle things well, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people into the palace, and finally got what he wanted, this is a good opportunity!
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Li who was packing up his things, there was no expression on his face, this was a charlatan, he ate well and dressed well in the palace, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not pity him.
Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao instructed: "Take care of him, don't make any mistakes." ”
"Yes, my lord, the slave knows." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed and nodded, not daring to be the slightest slack, he knew that the emperor of his family was far from what he showed.
Returning to the warm pavilion in a wheelchair, Zhu Youxiao learned that Wei Zhongxian was coming.
Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Let him come in!" ”
It didn't take long for Wei Zhongxian to walk in from outside with a happy face, obviously this was good news.
