Text Chapter 650 Murderous Breakthrough
Since the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and continued to set up the Tingwei Mansion, the Tingwei Lord, who was in charge of this institution, became a terrible figure in the eyes of the court officials with his majesty at the top of the Nine Qings.
As long as it is a person who is targeted by the Tingwei Mansion, it is difficult for him to escape his doom nine times out of ten. In this, there are many times when there is no reason to talk about it. All is just a struggle for power behind it.
Yuan Zhao is an outlier. Everyone knew that the majesty of the Tingwei Mansion had folded in his hands several times. The grievances between the two sides have been going on for a long time, and they have gradually become incompatible.
It's just that this kind of grievance has developed into today's life-and-death situation, which still makes the atmosphere at the scene extremely tense all of a sudden.
Wei Ji, the captain of the Great Han Dynasty, had a loud voice, and announced from the beginning with an indignant momentum that Yuan Zhao had always committed eighteen major crimes. The evidence is conclusive, and it is obvious that it took a lot of meticulous effort to weave this book of incriminating evidence.
“…… The third major sin is to send a fleet overseas without permission and bring back countless pearls, treasures, spices, herbs, and so on. The wealth can rival the country, and there is no imperial court to coordinate the jurisdiction, if it has different intentions, the country is in danger! …… The fifth major crime, for personal grievances, privately killed the king of Jiangdu and burned the palace. Chang'an was shaken, and the queen mother was sad. As a courtier, such disobedience is not punishable...... Crime ten, Yuan Zhao was on the grassland, did not ask the Son of Heaven, and killed the prisoner without authorization. The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu did not know what his intentions were when he had already been captured, and when General Li was ordered to escort him back to Chang'an, he was executed...... Crime fifteenth, during the hunting in the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain, in order to achieve his ulterior purpose, he instigated his subordinates to kill the general of Jiumen...... Moreover, during the detention of His Majesty the Emperor, he escaped with a guilty body, made a big fuss in the Imperial Governor's Mansion, robbed important Qin criminals, and tried in vain to conceal his criminal evidence......! ”
Wei Ji was full of spittle, and read these so-called charges aloud in the hall without stopping. Then he bowed down and handed over the signed and drawn things to the palace people around the Queen Mother who came over, his face was full of viciousness, and he sneered.
There is no doubt that this is the rhythm of wanting to summon Yuan to death! As the Queen Mother took over the crime, all the courtiers standing on the right joined the worship and echoed loudly, willing to ask the Queen Mother to be the master and cure Yuan Zhao's crime!
The Queen Mother's hands trembled a little, and she read these incriminating evidence at a glance and ten lines, and Yuan Zhao's bad deeds were vivid. A few were poking into her heart. The hatred in my heart can no longer be hidden. She looked around and saw the crowd of supporters, and her confidence was greatly increased. Just as he was about to remove the bead curtain, he personally came out and issued the Empress Dowager's decree, ordering the guards in front of the palace to take down the Yuan Zhao and kill him quickly!
However, several people from the Yilan Palace who followed her desperately grabbed her sleeves, regardless of the humility of her identity, knelt down in front of her, and begged the Queen Mother to be patient for the time being, and never go out to face the current situation in person.
"You minions are bold! Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it is the best time to punish the crime and Yuan Zhao and follow his forces...... What's so scary? Does he dare to do anything to the mourning family? Hum! ”
However, no matter how angry she was, these loyal palace people who had been by her side for a long time refused to let go.
"The Queen Mother must be angry, and she must not be mistaken by the ministers! Now that the situation is unclear, it is better to wait and see! Yuan Zhao...... I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”
The men knelt in front of them, blocking their way. The queen mother had no choice, so she sat down again, and read the guilt from beginning to end. The situation outside changed suddenly, she raised her head in some shock, and the old voice that spoke loudly below turned out to be Prime Minister Sun Hong.
"This is the Hanyuan Palace, the core of the Han Dynasty, in the absence of His Majesty the Emperor, how can he arbitrarily make any arbitrary rulings? What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, when does he need to work on the Holy Gymnastics of the Queen Mother and come out to preside over the overall situation? Hum! It's really nonsense, spread it out, and let those foreign kings in Chang'an know, wouldn't it make them laugh? Adult system! ”
The old turtle who was wise to protect himself actually took the initiative to stand up and express his attitude, and his words were so sharp. I can't help but be surprised. When they all turned their heads to look at him, they found that Gongsun Hong at this moment had changed his previous image, and the light in the corners of his eyes flickered, revealing the meaning of a sword!
"Prime Minister Gongsun, I think you're old and confused, right? Today, the most honorable person, except for His Majesty the Emperor, is not the Queen Mother? Since she is in Hanyuan Palace, she should naturally be the abbot of the government, which is a matter of course! ”
Zhang Tang looked at Gongsun Hong disdainfully and spoke sarcastically. If he is still a little jealous of Yuan Zhao, then he doesn't pay attention to this old puppet Gongsun Hong.
However, Zhang Tang was wrong. The old horseman, who has always been harmless to humans and animals, may have a tiger crouching in his heart. It has been sleeping soundly for many years, and when it really wakes up, it should choose someone to devour in order to repay its long-cherished wish!
Yan Zhu, who was in the camp of the Empress Dowager, stood with Zhu Maichen, and he did not listen carefully to Wei Ji's so-called crimes. Yan Zhu, as a young talent who stood out from the Yuan Zhao back then, actually has always been jealous and afraid of this famous marquis deep down in his heart.
Once upon a time, the high-spirited Yan Zhu also followed behind Yuan Zhao and wanted to do many vigorous things. Later, however, he finally chose a different path. The wealth and power of the world have become the goal of his life's pursuit.
Of course, the reason for today's results is inseparable from the emperor's trust and reliance on him. What the young marquis can do, why can't he himself? Yan Zhu is also a man of all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and once the ambition in his chest is vigorous, it will be difficult to suppress it from now on. His goal is to surpass Yuan Zhao and become the most important minister of the dynasty.
Today, Yan Zhu finally openly stood in the hostile camp of Yuan Zhao. He never believed that Yuan Zhao could be defeated so easily. Therefore, during this period of confrontation in front of the palace, his eyes never left the direction of Yuan Zhao, paying close attention to his every move, wanting to find out what powerful killing moves the other party would hide.
Suddenly, Yan Zhu noticed that an inexplicable smile appeared on Yuan Zhao's face, and then glanced at the imperial doctor who was looking excited. Yan Zhu was shocked in his heart, because he had an illusion that Yuan Zhao's gaze was like looking at a dead person!
Yan Zhu, who noticed the abnormality, was about to whisper a few words to Zhu Maichen beside him, but unexpectedly, Prime Minister Sun Hong spoke up. Moreover, it is a harsh riposte!
"Zhang Tang, as a doctor of imperial history, one of the three princes of the imperial court, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and you should be loyal to the country. However, look at what you are doing now, you are just a politician who has disregarded the righteous for his own selfish purposes! Hum! In the old man's opinion, it's not that you don't understand the truth of this, but you deliberately confuse the public so that you can achieve your dark purpose! ”
Up and down the Hanyuan Palace, there was silence. No one expected that Prime Minister Gongsun Hong would suddenly break out under such circumstances. He stood there majestically, his hair was pale, not angry, and his words blurted out with righteousness and awe-inspiring words, which can be described as heart-wrenching.
Zhang Tang's face turned red all of a sudden, then white again, and then turned iron blue again in an instant. Is this still the Gongsun Hong he knows? was shocked and stunned, and forgot to immediately ridicule him. Gongsun Hong doesn't care about him, since it has already begun, it must not be tolerated. Whether it is to repay Yuan Zhao, or his own reputation behind him, or for the sake of this Han Dynasty, he wants to hold this stump and start fighting!
"Since my father-in-law Sun Hong, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the head of a hundred officials, is in his position and seeks his own government, today I make an oath here to defend the national system that His Majesty the Emperor has formulated long ago. That is, the Son of Heaven is sick, and he has his own prince to supervise the country! If there are others, they are all nonsense! ”
The voice echoed in the center of the hall, old and heroic, unquestionable.
"Prime Minister, how can the evidence of the crime investigated by the Tingwei Mansion become a random verdict in your mouth? In this way, when the temple protects Yuan Zhao, how can he serve the ...... of the people?"
Tingwei Wei Ji also held his breath, seeing that Zhang Tang did not respond immediately, he questioned Gongsun Hong loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he had already heard the old prime minister shout angrily.
"Weggy! Shut up! Now that you've jumped out, start with you...... The old man also has some charges in his hands, and you people can't escape. Especially you, Wei Ji, as the captain of the Han Dynasty, are in charge of the highest legal institution, but you know the law and break the law, disregard people's lives, and create countless unjust cases...... Don't you ask yourself at midnight, aren't you afraid that those unjust souls will chase after your soul and ask for your life? ”
Gongsun Hong said as he took the thick pile of charges that had been prepared long ago from the person next to him, he smiled coldly, flipped through it casually, and pulled out one of them. Thrown in front of the embarrassed Tingwei.
"Take a good look for yourself! Don't think that if you do something, no one will know. Between heaven and earth, there is justice...... Wei Ji, no matter which one of them is, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it is enough to raid the family and wipe out the clan! ”
What's going on? Including the queen mother and the crown prince, everyone in the hall stretched their necks and wanted to see a clue. But I saw Wei Ji reach out and pick it up in disbelief, looked at it a few times, his expression suddenly changed greatly, as if he had seen a ghost, he threw it to the ground suddenly, and pointed at Gongsun Hong with an incredible look, and his tone changed.
"Where did these confessions come from...... You, you...... This is not true! It's all a false accusation...... Queen Mother, you have to call the shots for your ministers! ”
Zhang Tang saw that Wei Ji didn't mean anything, he looked stupid, and knelt down at the foot of the front steps of the hall and kowtowed desperately, he was also surprised. I was about to ask what the hell it was. Gongsun Hong's cold gaze had already turned to his face.
"Don't worry, Doctor Goshi! This one is yours...... Check it out. ”
When Prime Minister Sun Hong casually threw out the second copy. Yuan Zhao nodded to the prince, and the prince Liu Ju, who was full of surprise, saw the soldiers lined up outside the gate of the main hall, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring!
