Chapter 162: Lying down and driving
When the two eunuchs brought in a soft collapse, everyone found that there was a "mummy" lying on top of the soft collapse...... Well, they don't understand what a mummy is yet...... On the top of the soft collapse lay Li Xiuwen, who was wrapped in gauze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Xiuwen's originally handsome face was still stained with dried blood at this time.
Zhu Youzhen looked at it for a long time, and then he could barely recognize that this was his good courtier Li Xiuwen, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Li Aiqing so seriously injured?" โ
Li Xiuwen "struggled" to get down from the soft collapse to salute, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time, and the ministers in the room felt a little distressed.
Although Li Xiuwen is now standing in his hostile camp, he is a young man after all. They are all old people, whose child is seriously injured like this, and the parents and elders are not distressed?
Instead, they were muttering in their hearts, is this Li Xiuwen really injured or pretending? They all rushed to the palace after hearing the news, so naturally they didn't know much about the situation at the scene.
Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Xiuwen was struggling to get up and salute, so he hurriedly got up and walked to Li Xiuwen's side, and said, "Aiqing is inconvenient, so you don't have to get up to salute, just lie down and reply." โ
"Your Majesty."
Li Xiuwen said with gratitude on his face, and then began to answer Zhu Youzhen's question: "The emperor doesn't know that that group of people is not a real trader, but some thieves pretending to be very skilled. Wei Chen and his subordinates tried their best, and the officers and soldiers who had the household money pass stepped forward to help, so that they could be subdued. โ
"How ?!! this happens"
Zhu Youzhen is not a fool, why don't you understand after hearing this?
This is not a merchant making trouble at all, but a conspiracy set up by someone with a heart to target this banknote!
He still has some understanding of Li Xiuwen's skills, if it is an ordinary trader's guard, how can he seriously injure him?
After figuring out the key to the matter, Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the gang of thieves?" โ
Li Xiuwen said with a sad and indignant face: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is the dereliction of duty of the minister!" We had already subdued the thieves, but we did not expect that they had taken poison beforehand, and when the ministers were about to interrogate them, they were all poisoned and killed. โ
Kill somebody to do away with a witness! Good means!
Zhu Youzhen sneered in his heart and continued to ask, "But there are other discoveries?" โ
"This ......"
Li Xiuwen pondered for a while before he said: "At that time, there was a leading steward, and when we were fighting, he took advantage of the chaos to escape......
"Can you catch this person?" Zhu Youzhen said.
"Didn't catch it."
Li Xiuwen shook his head, but said again: "It's just ......"
Zhu Youzhen saw that he was halfway through his words, so he didn't say any more, and hurriedly urged: "But what? In front of me, if there is anything to say, just say it. โ
"In the beginning, this man kept saying ......"
Li Xiuwen paused, and then continued: "It is said that it is the car of Lord Zhang's family, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites......"
Zhu Youzhen was shocked when he heard this, this matter turned out to be Zhang Zhifa's doing?
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Zhifa jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, he framed Weichen without any evidence, you can't believe his words!" โ
Several officials in Zhang Zhifa's faction also jumped out at this time, and they scolded Li Xiuwen, saying that Li Xiuwen had no evidence, framed Zhang Gelao, asked His Majesty to investigate, and so on.
Although officials are not allowed to do business, everyone has a family behind them, and there are many collateral relatives, and it is normal for some of these people to do business, and Zhu Youzhen also understands this.
Zhu Youzhen was already biased towards Li Xiuwen's rhetoric in his heart, but there was no evidence at the moment, and it was not good to speak coldly to Zhang Zhi.
After he stopped everyone, he smiled at Zhang Zhi and said, "Why should Zhang Aiqing be angry? This is just the man's words, and I naturally won't believe it easily. โ
"Huh-"
Li Xiuwen smiled coldly and said, "How can Lord Zhang know that the lower officials have no evidence?" โ
"Wow-"
The audience was in an uproar, only a few of them knew that this was Zhang Zhifa's doing, and most of them didn't know, and they all began to talk to each other in a whisper at this time.
There were a large number of officials present, and even the smallest noise could make a big noise, so it seemed very riotous.
"Huh-"
Zhang Zhifa also sneered, how could he be stupid enough to leave evidence and give people a handle when he did it after he carefully calculated?
"If Lord Li has evidence, he will take it out and let the emperor see it, so that people can be convinced. Otherwise, it is a great crime to frame the court officials! โ
Zhu Youzhen heard this, glanced at Zhang Zhifa, and then said to Li Xiuwen: "If there is evidence, you can take it out and let me take a look." โ
Li Xiuwen stretched out his hand "with difficulty" and touched the soft couch, and everyone's eyes followed his left hand, only then did they find a cotton package. Come to think of it, the evidence is inside.
Cao Huachun had been accompanying Zhu Youzhen, and when he saw this, he stepped forward, picked up the package, and presented it to Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen opened it in front of everyone, and when he saw the official lamp inside and the words on it, he glanced at Zhang Zhifa coldly and shouted, "Zhang Zhifa, what else do you have to say?!! โ
"Poofโ"
Zhang Zhifa knelt on the ground in response, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" โ
All the officials gathered around, and when they saw the words on the official lamp, they all shook their heads secretly, this adult is finished!
The words on the official lamp are naturally - the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Youzhen sneered: "Then I want to hear how you want to quibble." โ
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhifa's heart was completely cold, but he still argued strongly: "Your Majesty, this is Li Xiuwen's frame-up, it must be that he sent someone to steal the official lamp on the minister's mansion, I hope Your Majesty will see it!" โ
"I'll see it!"
Zhu Youzhen walked back to the back of the Longshu case and sat down, shouting: "Come on, escort Zhang Zhifa out of the noon gate, and punish him with a cane of thirty!" โ
Everyone present was shocked and knelt down to plead.
"Your Majesty is angry, Lord Zhang is old, if these thirty boards are beaten, I am afraid that my life will be lost."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Zhang can't stand such a big bang!"
โ......โ
People are rare in their seventies, and it is indeed not easy for people to live to be over sixty years old during this period.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhang Zhifa, who was kneeling on the ground, and was also a little unbearable, Zhang Zhifa's old bones would indeed be killed.
He waved his hand and motioned for the person who detained Zhang Zhifa to go down before he spoke: "Since Master Zhang is old, let's go back to my hometown to retire." โ
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Many officials shouted in unison, and as for what they thought in their hearts, no one could know.
In these years, people in the officialdom, as long as you are not from your own faction, it is already very good that they do not fall into the trap for you. is also this fateful, a large number of dismissed officials at an old age can no longer pose a threat to others, so let him spend his old age safely.
When a cabinet minister is gone, it is natural that someone will have to take his place. It's just that who will be the next "pavilion elder"? (To be continued.) )
