Chapter 867: Life and Death Are Unpredictable

After getting the emperor's consent, Gonggong Long turned to Lan Ziyi and asked:

"Wei Hou, what do you think the merits and demerits are offset?"

Lan Ziyi arched his hand:

"Obey the holy will."

Grandpa Long smiled and nodded, and then he said:

"Wei Hou you and Dai Gong are both loyal ministers of the imperial court, as soon as the emperor nods, Wei Hou can let go of his humiliation, Dai Gong can travel all the way south from Northern Xinjiang to the capital at night, loyal ministers, loyal ministers, all loyal ministers. Such loyal courtiers and the court have been alienating people to eat soil outside the fortress, and we are in a high position, and some adults in the capital have ghosts for the emperor, and the world is so unfair, but it will make the loyal ministers cold.

Father-in-law Long's words were clearly to take people to open the knife, Lan Qianzhen heard Father-in-law Long mention that he ate soil in Beizhen, for fear that he would take the opportunity to open his mouth to leave himself in the capital, and his brows naturally furrowed when he was worried. However, Lan Ziyi was not as anxious as his father, because Grandpa Long's words were not for Lan Qianzhen to hear. Sure enough, after a short pause, Gonggong Long turned to question Zhang Mingyue and said:

"Zhang Shoufu, why did you stop the emperor from summoning the prince into the palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Now there are five people in the Qinzheng Palace, and Zhang Mingyue is the only one standing with Zhang Mingyue, fighting against the inner court and generals with his own strength, the pressure can be imagined, but Zhang Mingyue was obviously not frightened, not only was he not frightened, but he was also determined, as if this summoning was no different from the previous court meetings. After being asked by Gonggong Long, Zhang Mingyue arched his hand slightly and said:

"The guards are not prepared, the etiquette is not careful, and the prince cannot be welcomed."

Long Gong Justice:

"It happened suddenly, and besides, the people in the market are in turmoil, how can you find Qi Honor Guard to take advantage of public opinion?"

Zhang Mingyue smiled and said:

"Since the father-in-law also knows that the people are in turmoil, then he shouldn't summon the prince into the palace at that time, what if the prince encounters something unexpected on the road?"

Zhang Mingyue focused on strengthening his tone when he spit out the word "accidental", he raised his head and looked directly at Gonggong Long, and what was written in his eyes was that you understand and I understand. Gonggong Long was a little furious when Zhang Mingyue looked at him, and he took a deep breath and asked:

"The prince was not in the East Palace that day, what were you doing on the street?"

Zhang Mingyue said:

"I don't know why the prince went to the street, and I don't agree with the prince going to the street, I only know that the prince was bewitched by a traitor and didn't listen to my advice that day."

Grandpa Long asked:

"Who is the adulterer?"

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Li Chenghai, and the old capital is too shou Luo Yingmin."

Lan Ziyi heard that Zhang Mingyue had also involved Luo Yingmin in the matter of the prince's patrol, and immediately spoke:

"Luo Yingmin is not an immortal, how did he manage to reach the ears of the prince in the old capital? How did he bewitch the prince? ”

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Luo Yingmin is a greedy and cruel scoundrel, the food of the capital to help the victims will be detained by the officials in Heyin, and then sold to the victims at a high price. Na Luo Yingmin and Li Chenghai colluded, and the correspondence has been found by the imperial history, and the two should cooperate inside and outside, and conspire to disrupt the capital with the disaster of Heyin, isn't this a traitor? ”

Zhang Mingyue's words cleverly avoided the relationship between Lan Qianzhen and Luo Yingmin, and at the same time showed that he had enough evidence, and Lan Ziyi knew that he would not be able to gain anything if he continued to entangle, so he shut up. At this time, Gonggong Long asked:

"How is the head of the chapter going to deal with these two people?"

Zhang Mingyue said:

"The two were handed over to the detention of the Criminal Department, and after the interrogation was clear, they were beheaded and abandoned to the market, and their family property was confiscated."

Lan Ziyi sneered:

"Before the trial was judged, Shoufu had already arranged for the killing of the head, and Lord Shoufu was really thoughtful."

Zhang Mingyue smiled:

"Wei Hou, you are a military general, I don't blame you for reading less, but before you speak, you should still go and see my Dazheng Law, and see if in my Dazheng, you should be killed if you are greedy for ink."

Lan Ziyi didn't plan to continue to entangle with Zhang Mingyue, he came out and bowed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the punishment of the head of the chapter is too indiscriminate, and whether the two adults abandon the city should be considered in the long run."

Father-in-law Yu also arrived at this time:

"Ziyi is right, Li Chenghai has been in the temple for so long, and I have asked a lot of questions, and he persuaded the prince to go to the street that day just to let the prince understand and understand the suffering of the displaced people, and he did not mean to make trouble."

Father-in-law Long listened to Father-in-law Yu's words, turned around and bowed slightly to Father-in-law Yu:

"Since Brother Yu has asked, I don't think there will be a problem."

It is not surprising that Zhang Mingyue detained the black cauldron of the prince's patrol on Li Chenghai, about Li Chenghai's father-in-law Long and Lan Ziyi have already passed the anger, and Father-in-law Yu has no reason to be bad about Lan Ziyi, so the position of the three of them is actually the same at this time. After being polite to Gonggong Yu, Gonggong Long said to Zhang Mingyue:

"Zhang Shoufu, the prince does not live in the East Palace, it is already disobedient to go to the street without permission, you are the first assistant of the court, and the most trusted person of the prince, not to dissuade His Royal Highness at that time, but to shift the responsibility to others at this time, you not only shirk the responsibility but also drive people to extermination, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

Zhang Mingyue was not surprised by Grandpa Long's attitude, he had already realized the current form, even if he would not be suppressed by the other party because there were few people on his side, it would be difficult for him to compete with the other party, there were too few people on his side after all. Zhang Mingyue smiled, and then he said:

"Who doesn't know Father-in-law Yu's methods, if Father-in-law Yu asks, then Li Chenghai will definitely not dare to hide anything. But the fact that he colluded with the local magistrates and intended to cause chaos is clear, and I have his letters here as proof. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, if Li Chenghai had not instigated it, the prince would definitely not have gone to the street without permission, which Li Chenghai could not get out of. ”

Long Father-in-law says:

"Li Zhongtang and Lord Luo should not be beheaded and abandoned on trumped-up charges."

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Then ask Father-in-law Yu to send the people to the Criminal Department, and after interrogation by the Criminal Department, we will convict them of any crime."

Lan Ziyi said at this time:

"Taichengwei has already interrogated Master Li, and then he will be sent to the Criminal Department for interrogation, wouldn't it be a problem to suspect Taichengwei's interrogation."

玉公公 says:

"Zhang Shoufu, I have already tried the person, he has no intention of rebelling, and there is no point in sending him to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department has always been in charge of Li Chenghai, what can Zhang Shoufu expect their own people to try if they are released? Master Li did do something wrong, but he has also been loyal to the court for decades, and there is no merit and hard work, your Du Yi can be reinstated as an official, can't he Li Chenghai? ”

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Father-in-law Yu said it well, a merit and demerit are indeed speechless. But I want to ask my father-in-law, Du Yi's fault is just a dereliction of duty and letting the mob cause chaos, while Li Chenghai's fault has caused chaos in the capital, and the people have suffered many deaths and injuries, can these two people's mistakes be the same? During Du Ji's tenure, the nobles in the capital gathered their hands, the bandits were silent, and the capital was governed by him in an orderly manner, and Li Chenghai was in office

For many years, he has only eaten a vegetarian meal in the corpse, and he has no merits and no political achievements, so what is the merit and hard work? ”

Grandpa Yu snorted and said:

"You are the official secretary, who has merit and who has it, how much merit and how much merit depends on your mouth, what do we others have to say?"

Father-in-law Yu's choking sound somewhat stimulated Zhang Mingyue, he stared at Father-in-law Yu and said:

"The assessment of officials is registered, and if the father-in-law doesn't believe it, he can go to the ministry to check it himself, so there is no need to say this kind of cool talk."

Father-in-law Long was afraid that the two would quarrel, so he said:

"It's better to do this, take the fame of Li Chenghai and Luo Yingmin, confiscate their family property, and let others redeem their bodies, what do you two think?"
