……

On this day, the time of the next morning court was three o'clock in the morning, and Yan Pengfei, as the chief judge, had already arrested all the officials involved in the case at one o'clock in the morning, and the trial was already open before noon!

Under Yan Pengfei's various means, the case progressed smoothly, and all the officials involved in the case had no room for denial, and when it came to Youfei, the case was already over, and the interrogation results of the case had been handed over to Huang Yourong.

Yan Pengfei's efficiency is not unpleasant, and after getting the results of the interrogation, all the core members of Huang Yourong's party are also overjoyed, and they only feel that they are not far from bringing down Zhao Junchen!

At this time, in Huang Yourong's mansion, all the core members of Huang Yourong's faction gathered together.

Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held the charges confessed by Lu Shunde and others, looked excited, and said loudly: "Yan Shilang did a good job this time, not only did he clear the case so quickly, but he also successfully involved Zhao Junchen!" I see that tomorrow morning, how will Zhao Junchen defend himself! ”

Young Master Zhang Cheng also nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, thanks to Yan Shilang's ability to handle things this time, although the case of the Huai River flood has nothing to do with Zhao Junchen, most of the other crimes confessed by the officials of the Ministry of Industry and Household are related to Zhao Junchen!" Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, we will be impeached together tomorrow morning, I am afraid that no matter how clever Zhao Junchen is, it will be impossible to get rid of the guilt! ”

And as Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng's words fell, all the Yellow Party officials also responded one after another.

"Yes, then Zhao Junchen is still digging his own grave in the morning today. Say that if the crime of the household official is related to him, then he is willing to increase the guilt by one degree. Now that the evidence is conclusive, we are already on the verge of victory! ”

"Haha, if we can take this opportunity to bring down Zhao Junchen in one go, we will inevitably make a big splash in the court, but after the fall of Zhao Junchen, we have to prepare to take over in advance, and we can't let other factions benefit."

Time. In the guest hall, everyone was jubilant.

In the face of the praise of all the officials and colleagues, Yan Pengfei did not have the momentum in the public court at all, but hurriedly said humbly: "Your Excellency is too good, and it is because of the proper arrangement of Huang Gelao, Zhang Shaofu, and Lin Shangshu, and the help of all colleagues, so that today's results are achieved." In the final analysis, Pengfei is actually just running errands, but he doesn't dare to do it. ”

On the other hand, Pavilion Lao Huang Yourong has been up and down in the sea for many years, and in addition to his rich experience, he also has some inexplicable premonitions in officialdom battles.

Now. Looking at the confessional evidence in his hand, Huang Yourong understood his plan, and he was also happy in his heart, but vaguely, he always felt that something was wrong!

So. Huang Yourong didn't say anything to celebrate with others at this time, but just turned his head to look at his "wisdom and courage" - Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar!

At this time. Huo Zhengyuan also frowned slightly.

After noticing Huang Yourong's probing gaze, Huo Zhengyuan slowly spoke: "It's naturally a good thing that things are too smooth, but if it's too smooth, something will be wrong!" Nowadays, our plan is too smooth, and the smooth lΓ¬ is a little unbelievable! However, with Zhao Junchen's scheming methods that he has shown from the past, we should not have been left to our calculations! ”

After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's words, the lobby of the Huangfu, where the original atmosphere was extremely joyful, suddenly became quiet.

Indeed, some time ago, Zhao Junchen suppressed Huang Yourong's party in the party struggle, which made everyone remember it vividly, and they all thought that Zhao Junchen was an opponent who should not be underestimated.

Now, a plan that is so obviously aimed at Zhao Junchen is actually going so smoothly, and it is a little strange that after Huo Zhengyuan's reminder, all the officials of the Huang Party also feel that something is wrong.

"Master Huo, you mean, there is fraud in this?" Huang Yourong asked slowly.

"Impossible!" Before Huo Zhengyuan could answer, Yan Pengfei had already preemptively spoken.

Before, in the face of everyone's praise, although Yan Pengfei was humble again and again, he was still quite proud in his heart.

Now, seeing that Huo Zhengyuan was worried that this was just a trap of the enemy, but he had somewhat negated the results of his work, Yan Pengfei didn't even think about it, and he already refuted it.

However, Yan Pengfei is not a mediocre talent after all, and seeing that everyone is focused on himself, he quickly figured out the reason.

"First of all, according to the lower officials, our plan is so smooth, it's not that Zhao Junchen didn't obstruct it, but that Zhao Junchen didn't have time to obstruct it at all! You must know that today's morning upwards, we are suddenly difficult, looking at Zhao Junchen's appearance, we are also caught off guard, and there is no time to prepare. Before the early dynasty, the people of the Three Law Divisions had already taken away the officials involved in the case from the Ministry of Industry and Households, and Zhao Junchen had no chance to meet with those officials involved in the case, let alone explain what he was told, and the lower officials finished the case in the shortest possible time, and Zhao Junchen had no chance to do anything from beginning to end, so these confessions would only be the truth confided by those officials involved in the case in desperation, and it was impossible to falsify! ”

Speaking of this, Yan Pengfei looked up and saw that most people were nodding at this time, and he couldn't help but feel more confident in his heart.

"Secondly, after the case was concluded, Xia Guan had already sent his henchmen to closely guard the officials involved in the case, and Zhao Junchen was absolutely unable to contact them, so it was impossible to overturn the case in the future, and the various crimes confessed by these officials involved in the case were exactly the same when compared to each other, and it was obviously impossible to make false testimony in a hurry! In this case, this evidence of guilt has fallen into our hands, and it has made us invincible, even if Zhao Junchen really has any tricks, we have nothing to worry about! ”

Seeing that what Yan Pengfei said was reasonable, everyone nodded again and again.

Seeing that everyone was convinced of his point of view, Yan Pengfei's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but his expression became more and more humble, and he continued: "In the end, and most importantly, even if things unfold according to the worst possibility, all of these things are just traps set by Zhao Junchen, and all the testimonies interrogated by the lower officials are all fake, but in this way. What can Zhao Junchen get? At most, Xia Guan and Liu Yushi will be implicated because the trial is unclear, but you adults will never be fine. But Zhao Junchen lost. But they are more than one-fifth of the main officials of the two ministries of work and households! They have always been Zhao Junchen's henchmen! For Zhao Junchen, this is definitely a choice that outweighs the losses! ”

…………

If it is an ordinary time, or facing an ordinary opponent, Yan Pengfei's inferences are naturally no problem.

But what Yan Pengfei didn't know was that Zhao Junchen's real plan was to use Huang Yourong's hands to dispose of some moths under his own door, and take the opportunity to show weakness to Emperor Deqing, and he had already begun to prepare for this.

So. Yan Pengfei's inference that "there should never be a problem according to reason" can only be "taken for granted" when encountering an opponent like Zhao Junchen who does not play cards according to reason.

Yan Pengfei was full of confidence, thinking that Zhao Junchen would never frame him at the expense of one-fifth of the main officials of the Ministry of Industry and Household to frame him as a mere servant of the Criminal Department!

However, in Zhao Junchen's view, it was just a sacrifice of some moths that would be removed sooner or later. can destroy him, a third-grade member of the imperial court, take the opportunity to control the criminal department, and by the way, reduce the precautions of Emperor Deqing, but it is a profitable deal!

However, Yan Pengfei did not know Zhao Junchen's thoughts and plans, and the rest of Huang Yourong's party were also unclear.

So, after hearing Yan Pengfei's reasons. Even Huang Yourong and Huo Zhengyuan still felt that something was wrong in their hearts, but they couldn't think of other opinions.

In the end, after Huang Yourong and Huo Zhengyuan glanced at each other, Huang Yourong nodded slowly and said, "Since that's the case." Tomorrow morning, let's go according to our original plan. As Yan Shilang said, in today's situation, Zhao Junchen can't play any tricks. ”

――Even if Zhao Junchen really played some tricks, in the end, it would only be Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an, who were in charge of the trial, who would be unlucky, and it would be impossible to implicate himself! In that case, why not give it a try?

Huang Yourong didn't say the above sentence, but it was the real reason why Huang Yourong made such a decision.

…………

At the same time as Huang Yourong and his party were deliberating, without anyone noticing, more than ten officials of the Three Law Divisions were secretly arrested by the fans of Xichang.

What these officials have in common is that they all participated in the arrest of the officials involved in the two ministries of work and household in the early dynasty!

At the same time, under the arrangement of well-intentioned people, some prisoners and their families who had been convicted by Yan Pengfei, a waiter of the Criminal Department, were secretly taken to the capital.

And on the evening of this day, the house of Qin Huaiyuan, the young secretary of Dali Temple, ushered in a secret visitor, who was this secret visitor, and what he talked about with Qin Huaiyuan, but no one knew!

All of this is done in secret!

Under such an undercurrent, in the eyes of Huang Yourong and his party, what was originally a perfect plan that would never have problems is also undergoing a quiet change!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moon rises and the moon sets, and the morning of the next day finally comes.

Although Emperor Deqing has not yet arrived, in the Taihe Palace, the atmosphere is already a little solemn.

Many officials in the list were secretly looking at Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen at this time.

At this time, all the officials had already received the news, knowing that Yan Pengfei had already completed the "Huai River Flood Case" in just half a day, and that Zhao Junchen himself was also implicated, so they knew that there would inevitably be a good show in the court this morning.

What's more, if Zhao Junchen falls because of this, the current balance of power between the DPRK and China will inevitably be broken, and many interests, especially the two oil and water yamen, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, will inevitably need to be redistributed, but it will also make the hundred officials have to pay attention to the progress of this matter!

Under the attention of hundreds of officials, Zhao Junchen just stood quietly in the queue, with a look that seemed to be joyless and carefree, and seemed to be in his chest.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Huang Yourong, who was standing at the front of the queue of hundred officials, frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "Pretend!" ”

Zhou Shangjing, who was on the side, suddenly smiled slightly after hearing Huang Yourong's words, as if talking to himself, and seemed to mean something, and said slowly: "People have different statuses and different realms, and their views on the pros and cons of gains and losses will also be different. Sometimes, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses, but for those who are higher and see farther. But there is a hundred benefits and no harm, and sometimes. It seems to be a profitable business, but in fact, it is only to the detriment of oneself and others! All the qiΔ“ is actually right in front of you, but it's up to you to see if you can understand it. ”

Hearing Zhou Shangjing's sudden but inexplicable words, Huang Yourong couldn't help but be stunned, only feeling that Zhou Shangjing seemed to be pointing out something to himself, and faintly understood, but he couldn't figure it out.

However. Just when Huang Yourong was about to ask, the shouts of the eunuch Zhang De suddenly came from the Taihe Palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived!!"

In desperation, Huang Yourong had no choice but to press the doubts in his heart first, and saluted Emperor Deqing with all the officials, shouting long live.

In fact, even if Huang Yourong asked Zhou Shangjing, Zhou Shangjing would not answer in detail.

For this party dispute between Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen. Huang Yourong has already made up his mind not to help each other, just waiting for the snipe and clam to compete for the fisherman's profit, those words just now are just a momentary emotion, if he really has the heart to remind Huang Yourong, but he will not say it until this time.

…………

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

But it was said that it was in the middle of the Baiguan Mountain. After Emperor Deqing came to the Taihe Palace, he first glanced at Zhao Junchen's position intentionally or unintentionally, then sat on the throne and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After the etiquette process, the eunuch Zhang De came out of the column and shouted: "Something is done in the morning." Nothing to do! ”

As soon as the words of the eunuch Zhang De fell, Yan Pengfei, the servant of the Criminal Department, couldn't wait to come out. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are in charge of the holy decree, yesterday together with the Inspector Yushi Liu, and the Dali Temple Shaoqing Qin, together with the Huai River flood case suspected by a total of 19 officials from the Ministry of Industry and Households, and finally lived up to the Holy Hope, and now it has been investigated." ”

Although Emperor Deqing also got the news, he still pretended to ask, "Oh? Yan Aiqing is capable, but it is only a day, and the case has been interrogated clearly, I am deeply pleased, let's say, what is the result of the case? ”

Last year's Huai River flood, it was precisely because they asked the local yamen for kickbacks, but the local yamen refused, so they deliberately made it difficult, not only delayed the time of allocating silver for several days, but also withheld two percent of the silver, so it caused the flood in five prefectures and thirteen counties along the Huai River! Displaced more than 10,000 people! It's really a great crime! ”

After hearing Yan Pengfei's report, Emperor Deqing frowned, and was just about to order the punishment of the relevant officials involved in the case, Yan Pengfei had already spoken again first: "Your Majesty, the minister interrogated the officials involved in the two ministries of work and household this time, but the crime found was not only a Huai River flood case, but also many more shocking cases!" And the relevant officials involved are not only the current nineteen people, but also the vast majority of officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, as well as Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan! ”

Although they had already been mentally prepared, seeing that Yan Pengfei directly pointed the finger at Zhao Junchen, Zuo Lanshan and others, everyone in the Taihe Hall still couldn't help but change their expressions!

As soon as Yan Pengfei's words fell, he saw the inspector Liu Quan'an coming out and reporting to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, the minister tried the case with Lord Yan and Lord Qin yesterday, and the crimes of the two ministries of work and household that were found really made the minister angry!" As the inspector of His Majesty, the minister's duty is to sit idly by, but he wants to impeach a group of corrupt officials with Zhao Junchen for a total of nine crimes! Guilty of guilt! ”

After hearing Liu Quan'an's words, Emperor Deqing glanced at Zhao Junchen again, intentionally or unintentionally, but his expression became more and more stern, and he said slowly: "Oh? The Nine Deadly Sins? Guilty of guilt? So much? So strict zhΓ²ng? Come on. ”

"One of Zhao Junchen's crimes, corruption! According to the confessions of all the officials involved in the case of the Ministry of Industry and Households, since Zhao Junchen became an official in the Ministry of Households, he has repeatedly falsely reported the amount and embezzled the public bank of the imperial court, totaling no less than one million taels! Among them, on July 2 of the previous year, April 15 of last year, and the ninth day of the first month of this year, the amount involved in the three times was the largest! It's all based on 100,000 taels! ”

"Zhao Junchen's second crime, forming a party! According to the minister's investigation, over the years, Zhao Junchen has benefited from the convenience of the silver and grain of the Ministry of Users, used the treasury silver of the Ministry of Household as his own use, bribed the officials of the imperial court, and showed favor to the officials of the feudal territory, and now he has become a party of his own in the court! Among them, a total of Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Lide, the right waiter of the Criminal Department, and Zhan Shanchang, the waiter of the household department...... There are 12 officials above the third grade, and there are countless officials below the third grade! ”

"Zhao Junchen's third crime, disloyalty! Zhao Junchen is valued by His Majesty, not only in charge of the treasury of the household, but also in charge of the internal transport warehouse of His Majesty, but Zhao Junchen does not want to serve the monarch loyally, but instead takes advantage of his position, not only greedy for the treasury of the imperial court, but also greedy for the internal treasury of the Imperial Court! If someone checks the accounts, Zhao Junchen will take advantage of his position, or transfer the silver of the household department to the internal carrier warehouse, or transfer the silver of the internal carrier warehouse to the household department, so that no one can catch his handle, but the treasury and the internal treasury deposit silver has been privately greedy for nearly half of the ink! Not long ago, Zhao Junchen moved 1.3 million taels of silver from the internal treasury to supplement the shortage of household inventory! ”

"Zhao Junchen's Four Crimes ......"

"Enough!"

However, just as Liu Quan'an had just read out a third of Zhao Junchen's crime and was about to read out the fourth article, he was suddenly interrupted by the angry Emperor Deqing.

It's just that I don't know the purpose of Emperor Deqing's interruption, is it because he is really angry? Or is it because if Liu Quan'an continues to read it, Zhao Junchen will really be indefensible?

However, at least judging from Emperor Deqing's expression at this time, he seems to be really angry! But while he was angry, Emperor Deqing did not forget to give Zhao Junchen a chance to confess.

"Zhao Junchen, Liu Yushi impeached you for these crimes, but is it true?"

In the face of Liu Quan'an's impeachment, between the horror of hundreds of officials and the panic of friends, Zhao Junchen still had a look of joy and anger.

It wasn't until Emperor Deqing called his name and asked him that Zhao Junchen steadily came out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Yan Pengfei, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Liu Quan'an, the inspector of the imperial history, with ill intentions, and took the opportunity of the trial to bend into a trick, so as to frame the minister of the court!"

Between the eyes of hundreds of officials, Zhao Junchen raised his voice and said!

……

Well, the second update is still a big chapter of 5,000 words.

Still asking for praise!
