Chapter 84: Liu Wentai's Sins

Zhang Yu confessed so frankly, naturally there is a reason, he knows his current situation, and he also knows that he can't escape a dead word whether he recruits or not, there is no way, the first emperor died in his hands and collapsed in eight days, once Zhu Houzhao wants to be strictly investigated, he will not be able to escape the blame!

What's more, Zhang Yu doesn't want to suffer from flesh and skin anymore, and he knows that even if he can bear the pain of flesh and skin, with his understanding of Liu Wentai, he will still confess his plot to kill the first emperor, not to mention, why should he suffer from flesh and skin, and there is no need to cover up the guilt of Li Dongyang and others who want to kill their mouths.

In line with the psychology of wanting to die and everyone will die together, Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai both confessed honestly, and confessed Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and at this time, it was naturally the turn to summon Li Dongyang, Xie Qian had resigned and returned to his hometown, and he could not be summoned for a while, but it was enough to have Li Dongyang, and everyone knew that these three ministers were wearing a pair of pants.

Ma Wensheng's lips trembled with anger at this time, he had the deepest relationship with Emperor Hongzhi, and even in his heart, he felt that Emperor Hongzhi was undoubtedly more wise and respectful than Emperor Zhengde behind him, and now the Emperor Hongzhi he respected the most was actually killed, which made the political vision he placed on Emperor Hongzhi go down the drain, naturally he was furious, and directly patted the back of the chair: "Bring Li Dongyang here!" ”

It was a harsh winter, and it was a sunny day, everything was silent, and the vision was excellent, and the officials saw Li Dongyang being escorted from afar.

Some civil servants began to secretly think that they would have to wait until they returned home to burn the poems they had written for Li Dongyang.

Some civil officials began to worry that the fact that they had asked Li Dongyang's mother to add a decree grade would become a lever for their own crimes.

Some civil officials secretly congratulated themselves that they had nothing to do with Li Dongyang and other ministers, and they were actually just having fun today, although they may have offended Ma Wensheng, but they would not commit a capital crime in the end.

In fact, most of the civil officials present did not have much to do with Li Dongyang and others, and the officials who really had intersections with Li Dongyang rushed to intercede last night, or it can be said that they came to reincarnate in a hurry, and they have now been sent to prison.

In fact, most of the civil officials present did not have much to do with Li Dongyang and others, and those who really had intersections with Li Dongyang rushed to intercede last night, which can also be said to be in a hurry to reincarnate, and has now been sent to prison.

Even Jiao Fang and Xu Jin secretly rejoiced in their hearts at this time, fortunately, His Majesty insisted on his own views at that time, and he made a desperate bet to send the officials of Li Dongyang's faction to the edict and prison first, otherwise they would not be able to determine whether the interrogation at this moment could go smoothly.

When Li Dongyang came over, all the civil officials present lowered their heads, avoiding being seen by Li Dongyang like a plague god, and they were afraid that Li Dongyang would identify himself as also involved in the murder of the king.

Li Dongyang also noticed the expressions of the officials present, he naturally has no mood to thank these officials for interceding for himself, he can only sneer now, sneering that these officials are living too hypocritically, obviously they are here to intercede for themselves, and now they are afraid of themselves.

Li Dongyang never thought that he would have today, never thought that he would walk into the Forbidden City as a felon, and walked on this Fengtian Gate, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was in high school and was a hairpin, and he also suddenly remembered the scene when he was summoned by Emperor Hongzhi, and suddenly remembered the first day he entered the cabinet, how high-spirited he was at that time!

But at some point, his thoughts went back to the night when he and Liu Jian and Xie Qian quarreled with Emperor Hongzhi, and the way they looked at Emperor Hongzhi angrily pointing at him before he took his last breath.

The heavy shackles made a piercing sonorous sound on the bluestone slab floor, which also pulled Li Dongyang's thoughts back to reality, he looked at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting behind the jade curtain, and also looked at Ma Wensheng who was wearing a seven-beam crown, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had to admit that he lost, and he lost very badly!

"According to the order, Li Dongyang is suspected of rebellion, and he will be immediately removed from all official positions, demoted to a commoner, and executed according to the edict after deliberation!"

Liu Jin, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant supervisor, first stood up and read a will, according to the procedure, interrogating Li Dongyang had to remove him from his official position, this will had been prepared as early as when Li Dongyang was sent to prison, and Liu Jin now recited it again to naturally inform Yu Baiguan's meaning.

After Liu Jin finished reading the will, Ma Wensheng shouted: "Kneel!" ”

Li Dongyang smiled slightly, but he didn't twist, and suddenly he knelt down like a jade pillar in the golden mountain, this kneeling naturally means that he, the head of the cabinet, has lost all his majesty in the court for decades, and this kneeling naturally means that the power of the original three cabinet ministers has been eradicated has become an irreversible fact!

Ma Wensheng told Li Dongyang the confessions of Zhang Yu and others, and asked Liu Wentai again: "Liu Wentai, the Li Gefu you confessed is this Li Dongyang Li Gefu?" ”

Liu Wentai nodded and lowered his head.

"Answer this official loudly, yes and no!"

Ma Wensheng roared angrily, at this time he was almost on the verge of an emotional outburst, and his heart was already more furious than Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Wentai shuddered: "Yes, it's Li Dongyang!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, and also looked at Li Dongyang, although he had already expected today's result, but at this moment he still felt worthless for Emperor Hongzhi, frankly speaking, Emperor Hongzhi's life was unfortunate, his mother was killed, and he had to face the crisis of being assassinated from the beginning of his birth, but he did not choose to take revenge or turn himself into a ruthless person after he became the emperor, but he still did not escape the end of being killed.

Ma Wensheng was obviously in the same mood as Zhu Houzhao, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and asking Li Dongyang: "Why did you kill the first emperor?!" ”

Li Dongyang kept his mouth shut and didn't answer!

Ma Wensheng almost wanted to go crazy, so he stood up directly, completely ignoring any image, and pointed at Li Dongyang: "Answer me!" ”

Li Dongyang smiled and only said: "Ma Wensheng, don't be in a hurry to ask the old man, you should ask Zhang Yu first, why did he harm the first emperor, you should ask Liu Wentai, whether he was telling the truth, why did he not tell His Majesty and obediently listen to our mercy when he was coerced, you should ask him, how did he kill two generations of kings successively!" ”

Kill two generations of kings?!

Li Dongyang's words exploded on the spot like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the officials present were all shocked, even Zhu Houzhao himself was shocked, killing one generation of kings was shocking enough, and he actually killed two generations of kings!

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized how unsafe it was to sit in this position.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask in person: "What's going on, Liu Wentai, you recruited from the truth!" ”

"He won't recruit, Liu Wentai is obsessed with power, and it took a lot of thought to become the judge of the Tai Hospital, but the previous dynasty Xianzong did not cure Wan Guifei by Xianzong's anger, so he took the risk to kill Xianzong, Xianzong has no way to faint the monarch, everyone looks forward to his early death, naturally no one is held accountable, and now His Majesty intends to change Li Yanwen to take charge of the hospital, because Li Yanwen knows more about medical science, Liu Wentai is willing to listen to us in order to protect his official position and is afraid that we will expose him!"

Li Dongyang said it very naturally, and Liu Wentai was anxious on the spot: "You are talking nonsense!" ”
