Chapter 695: Refusal to admit guilt
Lord Liang twisted for a long time, but he didn't say half a word.
Xiao Chenye didn't want to waste time, tomorrow morning the court was going to announce the prime minister's charges, how could he let Lord Liang stumble there.
"Well, that's fine. If Lord Liang can't say it, let me say it, sentence the prime minister for the crime of bullying the king, read that the prime minister has been loyal for many years, strip him of his title, demote him to a commoner, and issue a border pass! When do you know how to serve you, and when will you come back! Lord Liang, how do you say this? ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen, no opinion." Lord Liang hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and bowed his head.
Seeing this, the prime minister turned his head sharply and glared at Lord Liang: "Liang Guocai, you traitor, cross the river and tear down the bridge." If there was no me back then, you could sit on the current Taifu, do you really think the emperor can let you go? ”
"Lord Lin, you did something wrong first. The emperor's order is above, but you have gone the opposite way, and now you have made the emperor angry. You should thank the emperor for not killing, do you think you can still escape the crime of bullying the king?" Lord Liang said it so eloquently that several ministers who were watching the play couldn't help but praise it in their hearts.
His words not only betrayed the prime minister, but also pleased the emperor, what a killing two birds with one stone!
"Liang Guocai, don't be too happy!" Prime Minister Lin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red. Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Chenye: "Your Majesty, you said that Weichen committed the crime of defrauding the king, then the emperor has evidence, when did Weichen deceive you!" ”
He has been breathing for a long time to get to this day, just to find a chance to get rid of Xiao Chenye, but he didn't expect Xiao Chenye to come back so soon, he wanted to pretend not to know, but he never thought that Xiao Chenye was so cunning, and he already knew what happened!
It's just that if there is no evidence in hearsay, how can you be convicted?
"Someone, pass on General Tang!" Xiao Chenye didn't want to talk nonsense with the prime minister, so he directly sent someone to call General Tang.
Half an hour later, it was already dark, and General Tang rode his horse and whip to the council hall as fast as he could, and as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
You don't have to think about it to know what's going on here.
"Weichen, knock on the emperor."
"General Tang, can you bring the evidence for me?" In this matter, Xiao Chenye was already sitting on the dragon chair.
I saw General Tang answer, and then took out a letter in his arms and presented it with both hands.
How could this letter be in his hands!
Seeing what General Tang had in his hand, the prime minister was shocked.
"Prime Minister, open it and see for yourself. This kind of font, the whole country, I'm afraid only you can write it. Xiao Chenye said as he casually sipped the tea in the cup.
But for the prime minister, he can't confess his guilt today no matter what!
Although this word Weichen can write, it does not mean that it is written by Weichen. Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”
Hearing that the council hall was becoming more and more lively, Du Yan couldn't sit still, got up and walked outside, and a few little maids saw this and hurriedly followed behind.
"The prime minister is really eloquent, but right now, in my opinion, you are quibbling!" Xiao Chenye also lost his patience and said loudly: "People."
The evidence is there, and you are still quibbling, come on! With torture, I don't believe it today! ”
"Weichen is sitting upright, and the emperor can be punished!" The prime minister is also a dead duck with a hard mouth, but he doesn't bow his head, which makes Xiao Chenye even more angry.
"Ahh
As soon as Du Yan walked to the main entrance, she heard her father's miserable screams from inside the house.
Although her father had no feelings for her, she couldn't help it when she thought that her father was being tortured in the house at the moment, and she wanted to sit idly by.
Directly pushed open the door and walked in: "Your Majesty, don't do it!"
Seeing Du Yan coming, Xiao Chenye hurriedly raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to stop.
finally stopped, and the prime minister collapsed directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Du Yan walked over quickly: "Father, are you okay!" Although she is stubborn on weekdays, she doesn't seem to care about her father's life or death, but seeing her father being tortured like this at this moment, Du Yan can't help it.
"Queen Mother, although this criminal minister is your father, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and please don't interfere in this matter!" Dali Siqing felt that when he saw that Du Yan had compassion, he opened his mouth to remind.
After Du Yan helped the prime minister up, he stood up, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and looked directly at the Dali Siqing with a pair of eyes: "The emperor is tired of traveling and driving, and he is a little confused, is it possible that several adults are also confused." Even if the prime minister is at fault in the first place, you should also convince people with virtue, how can you even agree to the emperor's torture and do such a ridiculous thing, and you are not afraid of the people's jokes when you say it! ”
Seeing that Du Yan seemed to be angry, Xiao Chen fell cold and lowered his head at night, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Since the queen mother admits that the prime minister is at fault first, then we can't ignore it!" Dali Siqing is a straightforward person, even if the person standing in front of him is the current queen, he is fearless.
But Xiao Chenye couldn't stand it, that was his little lady. How can you let others bully.
"Lord Bao, pay attention to your words when you speak!" Xiao Chenye was calm and confused, and his tone of voice was slightly displeased.
Seeing Xiao Chenye speaking for herself, Du Yan was secretly happy in her heart.
But he also knew that he shouldn't offend these ministers too much because of this matter at this time, so he coughed lightly and signaled Xiao Chenye to rest assured, after all, the two had been together for so long, and they had already had a tacit understanding.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it really shouldn't be like this, but the prime minister refuses to admit his guilt, and in the laws of our dynasty, those who refuse to admit their guilt should be sentenced to death!" Lord Liang had already stood up at this moment, but he was still hunched when he spoke.
The prime minister was already angry, and he was even more angry when he heard Lord Liang's words, and immediately got up and kicked Lord Liang to the ground: "You ungrateful villain, I promoted you in vain!" ”
"Bold!" Xiao Chenye frowned, and said loudly: "Come on, hold the prime minister!" ”
The other people on the side were also shocked at the moment, no one thought that the prime minister, who was exceptionally calm no matter what he did on weekdays, would make such a ridiculous move in front of so many people today.
Du Yan didn't expect it.
When he was surprised, he didn't forget to persuade the prime minister.
"As the prime minister of a country, the prime minister should have seen it earlier
Be reasonable, but don't embarrass others. Du Yan understood it, and now everyone looks at the prime minister unpleasantly, and as soon as they see that the matter is revealed, they all begin to find a way back for themselves.
directly and without hesitation, he pushed the prime minister to the forefront. 、
At this moment, the prime minister has been directly pressed to the ground by two guards, kneeling on his knees, but his face still looks like he is not admitting defeat.
He looked at Du Yan and snorted coldly: "Thank you to the queen mother, Weichen is guilty!" After speaking, he looked at the ministers around him with cold eyes, and his eyes were full of sarcasm: "However, don't be too happy, sooner or later, such a thing will happen to you." ”
The crowd was silent.
Du Yan looked at it, and knew that these people were afraid that they were happy to laugh at the moment, how could they remember the prime minister's warning.
"Okay, since the prime minister has confessed his guilt, then do as I just said! The hour is getting late, so let's go back and rest early. After Xiao Chenye finished speaking, he got up and glanced at Du Yan.
