Chapter 701: Chu Ruocai pleaded guilty
The three of them glanced at the scroll in the real person's hand, and then looked at the grandmaster, and suddenly trembled with fright, and actually knelt directly on the ground: "Ge Lao, please also know that everything was instructed by Chu Ruocai to do it, and it has nothing to do with our handsome, and it has nothing to do with us, and it ...... with us."
"It has nothing to do with you?" Hu Qingyan asked lightly.
"I'm waiting for ......" The people of the three families glanced at each other, and finally they all knelt down with dead faces.
Someone has to be responsible for this, and if they don't take it, they will have to bear it.
"Your Majesty!" Without waiting for them to finish, Chu Ruocai suddenly turned around and threatened Lao Jiu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, King Ming's rebellion is already conclusive, and today it is even more powerful in the Golden Palace, and he does not take His Majesty in his eyes at all, our Southern Army swears to support Your Majesty to eliminate this rebellion, and if there are unsubordinate people who dare to stop it, our Southern Army will never tolerate this rebellion, and I am willing to support Your Majesty's Zhengguo Law and Dynasty Program!" ”
"What do you say?" After that, Chu Ruocai looked at the people of the three families as if no one was looking.
The people of the three families are already in turmoil at the moment, knowing that the matter has been leaked, if this matter follows Chu Ruocai's statement, then as long as everything is safe except for King Ming, but if Lao Jiu can't get rid of it, then they can't afford the result.
But why aren't people greedy for life, these people finally gritted their teeth, and said at the same time: "Our handsome resolutely supports the new monarch and the country!" ”
Lao Jiu was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't understand the threat in Chu Ruocai's words, and he didn't know what the secret agreement was, he only knew that at this time, the Lin family and Hu Liu Zhang were really in the public to show the carriage and horses, and clearly supported him to get rid of King Ming, and even all the people who were not subordinate.
These three parties spoke out so firmly, which is almost equivalent to the fact that as soon as he ascended the throne, he eliminated internal troubles.
And all he needs to do is get rid of King Ming.
However, his dream was about to be shattered after all, and as soon as he saw that the real person of the country reached out, he directly wanted to kill Chu Ruocai with one palm.
"How dare a real person!" Lao Jiu was shocked.
But at this time, the real person is rare and ruthless, and he hurts the killer.
However, King Ming stopped him again and saved Chu Ruocai.
"King Ming!" The real person shouted angrily.
The situation changed again and again, making it difficult for all the ministers to understand, but Mo Bai looked at Lao Jiudao: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill him or kill me?" ”
"Chu Ruocai provoked the monarch and ministers, and he should be punished!" Hu Qingyan was the first to kneel.
Zhang Bangli was the second, but no one expected that the third would be King De.
At this moment, King De's face was pale: "Your Majesty, it was the ministers who fell for Chu Ruocai's tricks and mistakenly believed his slander, so that Your Majesty was deceived, Chu Ruocai's crime was extremely evil, and he also asked His Majesty to put the place to death, the minister did not know the truth, so he made an unforgivable accusation, it is really an unforgivable crime, the minister asked His Majesty to be gracious, and the minister himself was decided!" ”
Lao Jiu looked at King De's frightened face and was shocked.
Until now, he didn't know what had happened, and then when he saw King De say it, he suddenly stood up, rushed to Zhang Wu's side, pulled out his knife, and immediately killed himself.
But with the presence of internal guards, how could such a thing be tolerated, and they immediately stopped it.
But when he snatched the sword of King De, the internal guard turned his head and saw the real person of the country staring at him sharply, which made him stunned, as if the real person was blaming him for many things.
King De failed to grab the knife, and hit his head against the pillar again!
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and King De fell to the ground with a bang.
Lao Jiu looked stunned, the real person didn't say a word, the internal guard was silent, Hu Qingyan was silent, and King Ming was also silent.
Only Chu Ruocai immediately fell to the ground, he knew that he was finished.
King De's suicide has taken the blame for His Majesty, so no one in this palace will stand up to support Lao Jiu.
Even King De was forced to commit suicide, who can have a harder head than King De.
Even King De, who supports His Majesty the most, is gone, where does Lao Jiu still have the majesty to deal with King Ming?
In the end, Chu Ruocai smiled bitterly, looked up at King Ming, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with him?" ”
Chu Ruocai pointed at the sect master, Mo Bai understood what he meant, but he didn't bother to answer at all.
Instead, Zhang Bangli looked at him: "Chu Ruocai, this official has something unclear, who revealed the news of Qu Guogong's death to you?" ”
"Huh?" Chu Ruocai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand what this meant, but he glanced at King Ming: "I didn't lie, Qu Guogong was indeed killed by King Ming!" ”
"Until now, you still want to use this to instigate hundreds of officials?" Zhang Bangli suddenly became angry: "Long before the bloody case in the suburbs of Beijing, Qu Guogong was secretly executed by the state for the crime of unforgiveness, and the state kept this matter secret, where did you get the news from, and tried in vain to take advantage of the fact that this matter was not announced, and planted the matter on the head of King Ming, intending to persecute King Ming?" ”
"What?" Chu Ruocai was stunned.
Even more confused than him are the hundred officials, Qu Guogong has died a long time ago?
"Come on, go and get the secret file that Qu Guogong was disposed of!" Zhang Bangli immediately commanded.
Suddenly, an official came out of work and went out immediately.
At this time, Chu Ruocai's body shook, and finally a mouthful of old blood spurted out, pointing at King Ming: "It's you!" ”
Mo Bai finally looked at him, and his voice was cold: "Do you remember that this king said before that he wanted to bully this king with such a thing as you?" ”
Chu Ruocai's body shook again, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Do you really think that this king doesn't know what you want to do? When he came to this king, he said that His Majesty wanted to kill me, and instigated this king to rebel. At the same time, he went to His Majesty and said that the king was going to rebel and instigated His Majesty to get rid of my Ming Palace. This king looked at you coldly and pretended to be smart, and watched how you killed Lin Huayao. You really didn't disappoint this king, and you really sang a good show, but you can't imagine this result! ”
"Your Highness, are you saying that all this is Chu Ruocai's ghost?" Fang Shuai's person immediately stood up and asked with an angry look at Chu Ruocai.
Mo Bai nodded: "As soon as this fool entered Beijing, he came to the door to instigate the king to rebel, no matter how stupid the king was, he would not do anything that was painful to his relatives and happy to his enemies, but this fool didn't know where he knew that Qu Guogong was dead, and he actually made a bloody case in the suburbs of Beijing, and then used this to release rumors, saying that Qu Guogong was the victim of the bloody case, which caused panic among hundreds of officials." ”
Hu Qingyan said at this time: "Yesterday, there was a rumor that Qu Guogong died in a bloody case on the outskirts of Beijing, and we will know that someone must manipulate this matter." At that time, it was only a treacherous plan, intended to provoke the relationship between the dynasty and the southern army, after all, Qu Guogong was really dead, and the murderer pointed to the Lin family, if the news of Qu Guogong's death was announced, it was likely that the ministers would be suspicious. ”
"So the official temporarily suppressed this rumor, who would have thought that this was actually done by the Southern Army himself, the purpose was to use the death of Qu Guogong to instigate some people who wanted to get rid of King Ming, but I didn't expect that there were really people who were bewitched by him and fell for his scheme......"
"If it weren't for the Ming Wangfu staring at him all the time and finding the most critical evidence, today this official is only afraid that he will not be able to speak clearly, that is, we can come up with evidence to prove that Qu Guogong has already been secretly disposed of, and we are only afraid that he will be slandered and fabricate evidence for King Ming."
Speaking of this, Hu Qingyan glanced at King De who fell to the ground, shook his head slightly, and finally said: "But let Chu Ruocai exhaust his skills, he will eventually reveal his flaws, otherwise we, the ministers of the palace, are afraid that we will be played with by a mere Chu Ruocai." ”
With Hu Qingyan's words, everyone's faces were changing.
In fact, Hu Qingyan glanced at King De, but more people looked at Lao Jiu.
The so-called people who wanted to get rid of King Ming are obviously not only King De, King De is just a pawn, and the real person is His Majesty.
His Majesty must know the truth about Qu Guogong's death, but when Chu Ruocai said it in public, he did not deny it, and he also used this to kill the king.
Lao Jiu also listened to Hu Qingyan's words, but at this moment he was always a little confused, he noticed some problems, but no matter what, it seemed that there was a layer of fog in front of him, but he couldn't disperse and couldn't see the truth clearly.
He didn't know how it became like this today, he didn't deny the matter of Qu Guogong, what he wanted was not to slander King Ming and kill Qu Guogong, but just to ask Chu Ruocai to represent the Southern Army, and the three marshals of Hu, Liu and Zhang supported him to kill King Ming, so as to reduce the pressure on the court.
Everything was done by King De himself, and he was not the mastermind behind it at all.
But under the eyes of the ministers, he didn't know how to explain it at all, he did not deny it and ordered to kill King Ming, at this time he couldn't say, I just wanted to kill King Ming, so I didn't deny it.
Is it to blame the king of virtue?
He looked at the "corpse" of King De lying on the ground, and King De finally took responsibility for him with his own death, and he hated King De for being troublesome, and he could not come out to testify with his ministers.
At this time, pull King De up and "whip the corpse", I am afraid that it will chill the courtiers even more.
He had to carry this black cauldron for some reason.
The results of Qu Guogong's disposal were taken.
The ministers looked at it one by one, and when they saw that the Duke of Qu Guo was "colluding with the flag barbarians, leaking military information, and treason with the Lin clan, he gave the imperial wine ......"
"It's him, damn it!" Fang Shuai's people suddenly shouted angrily, and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please punish the nine clans of Qu Guochang, it's not so inadequate to comfort my soul who died in battle!" ”
After reading it, the officials of the Qu Department were panicked and uneasy, and the evidence was conclusive, and they no longer dared to have the slightest defense.
Then they knelt down in unison, and pointed the finger at the Lin family: "Your Majesty, Qu Guochang should be punished, and the Lin family should be punished......"
This group of people is still smart, and immediately pulled out the Lin clan to block the gun, they knew that no matter what, it was impossible for the dynasty to start a war with the Lin clan, and if they wanted to pursue Qu Guochang in a big way, they needed to investigate his collusion with the Lin clan to deal with the Ming king.
Therefore, as long as the Lin family is bitten to death, Qu Guogong's problem can only be turned into a big deal in the end, after all, if Qu Guochang is investigated thoroughly, he is afraid that all the Qu people under him will be implicated.
Chu Ruocai saw that the general trend had gone, only sneered twice, and then said no more.
Hu Qingyan didn't let him go, and finally asked: "Chu Ruocai, do you plead guilty?" ”
"Admit it, everything is done by me alone, it has nothing to do with the Southern Army, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!" Chu Ruocai wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, straightened his clothes again, and lowered his head.
"How dare you be so bold?" King Ming suddenly opened his mouth and asked again.
Chu Ruocai's heart was blocked, he was very sad, he had already confessed his guilt, and he had to force him to make up why he wanted to deal with the Ming Palace.
But as if a flash of inspiration, he suddenly reacted and looked at King Ming: "Is it because of Ning'er?" ”
This is a question sentence, but then he said to himself: "Because I once dealt with Tie Ning'er of the Ming Palace, I know that the Ming King has found out the truth, if I don't deal with him, he will take my life sooner or later, so I carried the big handsome behind my back and contacted King De to jointly design the Ming Palace." ”
After the words were finished, King Ming flashed, and his hand turned into a whip, and in front of hundreds of officials, he whipped his skin and flesh.
Cang Ming Zhenren was slightly angry, but Guo Chao Zhenren handed him the scroll in his hand, and after reading it, Cang Ming Zhenren's face was black and terrible, and he finally didn't say a word.
When many people saw this scene, they all stared at the scroll in the hands of the real people of the country, and everyone knew that it must be the ironclad evidence in Hu Qingyan's mouth......
"You have wisdom, but you don't use it in the right place, there should be a bottom line for being a man, and there should be a bottom line for being a hero!" Mo Bai looked at Chu Ruocai, who was dying: "I once said that I would spare your life, hoping to use your wisdom to deal with Qiman." ”
Chu Ruocai fell to the ground, his eyes were slightly dilated, and he said in a low voice: "Spare my family!" ”
His voice was too small, maybe only a few people heard it, but Mo Bai replied: "This king has a bottom line, but I don't know if Lin Huayao has it?" ”
Chu Ruocai sat up from the ground abruptly and grabbed his trouser legs, but the next moment, he finally let go and fell to the ground and lost his breath.
Lao Jiu looked at Chu Ruocai's corpse, and then looked at the reactions of the ministers, he suddenly understood that he was completely defeated, just like Chu Ruocai's corpse, there was no chance of a turnaround.
It's too fast, the turning point is too fast, and he was already going to behead King Ming in front of the palace before, how could this happen in the end?
The temple was very quiet.
No one said another word, and for a long time, Lao Jiu knew that he should speak, or should do something, but until the end of the enthronement ceremony, he could not say another word.
In fact, at this time, if he really has the courage and a chance to win, it is to be like King De, and use his own blood to dye the ending of King Ming red.
No matter how sober he is now, as long as he dares to die, he can make King Ming bear the notoriety of being forced to death by King Ming on the day the new monarch ascended to the pole.
This crime is no less than rebellion, all the right and wrong, compared with forcing the new emperor to die, is no longer important, as long as this trick, naturally someone will come to deal with King Ming in the name of avenging him.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it that way in the end.
