Chapter 157: Foreign Ministers Force the Palace

Wang Wenyan was born in a reckless background, and his previous experience was extremely rich, how could he be bluffed by Tian Ergeng, and he still snorted angrily in a drowsy state. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Tian Ergeng jumped out of the corner of his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to torture!" ”

"Ah......h

Tian Ergeng had just walked out of this torture room when he heard Wang Wenyan's screams of pain from his lungs again, and his expression felt a little happy.

Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang and others were locked in a cell, all sitting cross-legged, sitting in a precarious position, with awe-inspiring expressions.

They are all scholars and upright, even in this terrifying edict, it did not make him change color in the slightest, and he was at ease.

Tian Ergeng walked over, his face was hideous, and he looked at a few people with a smile and said: "Everyone, Wang Wenyan has already confessed, do you want me to torture me, or do you admit it yourself." ”

The five of them all snorted coldly and scolded bitterly.

"Eunuch lackey, pretentious, vicious, not a son of man!"

"You really think you can cover the sky with one hand!"

"When I wait to get out, I will definitely fight back!"

"Gelding, the day of destruction is not far off!"

The corners of Tian Ergeng's eyes jumped unconsciously, his chest rose and fell, he gritted his teeth fiercely, stared at a few people and sneered, "Very good, come here, torture them first, until someone is willing to say it and then stop!" ”

Zuo Guangdou was dressed in a white robe, with soft corners of his face and a calm but firm gaze, which was a standard Confucian student. He listened to Tian Ergeng's words, and just stood up calmly and straightened his clothes.

The five men were escorted to a torture chamber and circled so that they could see each other clearly.

The same torture instruments were placed behind them, and the jailers looked at the people they were about to torture with cruel expressions on their faces.

Tian Ergeng stood not far away, his eyes flashing with bloodthirstiness, revealing his white and brand-new teeth, and said, "Give them one by one, each for an hour!" ”

There were more than eighteen kinds of torture instruments in Jinyiwei, and except for those that caused death, each of them was piled up in the cell, and the mere look was terrifying.

But the five of them were very calm and unafraid.

Gu Dazhang had a big beard on his face, and he closed his eyes with a contemptuous snort, as if he was pretending to sleep.

Wei Dazhong's expression was indifferent, his eyes were full of fire, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Zhou Chaorui looked thin and weak, but he was the most calm, with a calm expression as if he was listening to a certain Confucian preaching.

……

The five men had no intention of being generous to righteousness, nor did they have the slightest fear, and let the torture instruments add to them.

Soon, there were all kinds of screams and scolding from the five people in the torture room.

Tian Ergeng's hideous face became more and more hideous, and his eyes were bloody and excited: "Yes, take your time, don't worry, everyone has a ......"

Tian Ergeng in the Zhenfu Division Prison had no scruples about facing many court officials, and the leaders of the officials were tortured, and the people outside were naturally unwilling to be calm.

Yang Lian was angry and hateful, and seeing that the excerpt did not react, he contacted more than 30 colleagues and rushed directly into the palace, and was finally blocked outside the Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Youxiao's temperament is naturally to hide first, treat things outside coldly, and pretend not to know.

Yang Lian was absent from class, but Zhu Xu couldn't be lazy. Yang Lian is a very stinky reader, if he is lazy, he can't really hit his palm.

The twenty-four histories are read over and over again, and they are turned over and over again.

"Your Highness, Jinyiwei has been tortured over there, do we really care?" Cao Wenzhao stood in front of Zhu Xu and whispered. Cao Wenzhao didn't understand the thoughts in his heart and his vague actions.

Zhu Xu looked at the book and said without raising his head: "It's okay, Wei Zhongxian knows it in his heart." ”

Cao Wenzhao's face flashed with worry, Zuo Guangdou and these people have a lot of relationship with Yang Lian, and now they don't take the initiative to deal with it, and when Yang Lian comes to the door, I'm afraid that they won't be able to solve it secretly.

Zhu Xu studied behind closed doors, but inside and outside the palace seemed to be turned upside down.

Yang Lian didn't see Zhu Youxiao for three days, he knew that he couldn't force the emperor by himself, so he found the first assistant Ye Xianggao, the second assistant Han Huoguang, the official secretary Zhao Nanxing, the left capital Yushi Gao Panlong and others, and moved most of the imperial court, blocked the front and back palace doors of Jingyang Palace, and knelt down in a large area.

Jingyang Palace, in the imperial study, Zhu Youxiao's face was extremely gloomy.

He sat on a chair, with piles of folds in his hand, all of which were to impeach Wei Zhongxian and argue for Zuo Guangdou and others. Among them, Zuo Guangdou has not finished writing, Yang Lian has completed the addition, and the excerpt of impeaching Wei Zhongxian for the thirty-two major crimes!

Wei Zhongxian knelt not far in front of him, trembling and trembling all over.

Zhu Youxiao ignored the excerpts, stared at Wei Zhongxian with eyes like knives, and said almost through gritted teeth: "This is what you did for me?" You go out to show me, the whole court is here, what do you want me to do? ”

Wei Zhongxian's head smacked on the ground, and his voice trembled: "Back to the emperor, Wang Wenyan bribed the inner court, and the cabinet evidence is conclusive. There is also evidence that the silver he bribed came from Zuo Guangdou and others, and if the foreign ministers persecuted too much, the emperor could hand over the slaves and maids. ”

Zhu Youxiao's face became more and more gloomy, and he said, "You say, the evidence is there?" ”

Wei Zhongxian lay on his stomach and did not move, his body trembled, as if he was very frightened: "Yes, it was Jiang Yanshan who took the bribe, and there is Wang Wenyan's handwriting as evidence." ”

Zhu Youxiao's gloomy face had just improved slightly, and a waiter hurriedly ran in with a plate of folds.

"Your Majesty, this is the excerpt of Ye Ge Lao and all the adults." The attendant handed the plate to Zhu Xu's side and said softly.

Zhu Youxiao resisted the urge to throw it out, took Ye Xianggao's fold and flipped it open.

After reading the whole article, Zhu Youxiao only remembered one sentence: 'If the foreign minister is wrong, it should be justified and well-founded, and I hope that His Majesty will still discuss it with the secretary.' ’

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, then looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was still kneeling below, and said coldly, "Go, check it for me, and if it is verified, it will be announced, if anyone dares to cheat for personal gain and bend the law for bribes, I will never spare it!" ”

Wei Zhongxian, who was trembling and kneeling below, showed a ruthless look on his face after hearing this. Zhu Youxiao's 'never forgive' naturally does not refer to Wang Wenyan, who has been verified, but the courtiers who are constantly making trouble and forcing the palace now!

"Slave obeys!" Wei Zhongxian's voice was still trembling, and his expression was indeed extremely excited. In this way, he has a holy decree, whether it is Wang Wenyan or Zuo Guangdou and others, the life and death are in his hands!

Wei Zhongxian respectfully withdrew from the imperial study, and without taking a few steps, he looked up in the direction of Jinghuan Palace, his eyes flashed, and he left quickly.

Soon, word came out from the edict prison that Wang Wenyan's evidence of bribery was confirmed, and Zuo Guangdou and others were 'unnecessary' to participate, which made the courtiers who were still blocked in Jingyang Palace extremely embarrassed. But they still didn't leave, and they extremely distrusted Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and asked Zhu Youxiao to immediately transfer the person to the Criminal Department and other legal departments for processing.

Where can Zhu Youxiao trust them, he still refuses to see them, and he reprimands them together, making them unable to advance or retreat, and becoming more and more embarrassing.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, they also have to eat and drink, which is a very bad step, but they also have to go down. Now that the evidence is conclusive, they have become 'unreasonable', and if they continue, they will anger the emperor and be driven out of the palace.

Yang Lian and the others went out of the palace, and after a little discussion, the people who belonged to their 'circle' all followed Yang Lian back to Yang's mansion. (To be continued.) )
