At this time, the case of the emperor's tomb is confusing!

But who did it?

……

At this time, in the imperial study, Liu Jian, Yanwang Zheng Zhuang, Qin Fei, and Zheng Yizheng knelt on the ground in unison, all without saying a word!

And Zheng Wenzheng was sitting on the throne, looking at the two confessions of Xu Yang and Li Kang presented by Liu Jian and others!

Zheng Wen knew what they meant, and they presented these two letters to Zheng Wen, but they knelt down and didn't say a word!

is telling Zheng Wen that this matter is too big, it is a royal scandal, and they dare not investigate it again, and they also beg His Majesty to expose it and not to investigate it again.

Zheng Wen laughed angrily, he read these two letters, of course he knew that this was indeed a royal scandal, but he also knew that someone had slapped him in the face again.

If you don't investigate it anymore, it can only be regarded as an accident, then you can only let Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, confess the crime and expose this big case!

But obviously, Zheng Wen didn't approve of it in his heart, and he couldn't do it!

Zheng Wen, who came from later generations, still has a simple view of right and wrong in his heart, yes is yes, no is wrong!

He didn't approve of it in his heart, and forcibly pushed this kind of thing onto the two innocent ministers.

Obviously, Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were innocent, and they did not dare to do so.

And the four ministers who are kneeling also know, and the entire government and the opposition also know!

So he doesn't approve of that.

Nor can it be done!

If he did.

He is afraid that he will leave labels such as "mean and unkind" and "unknowable" in the history books.

And the current government and the opposition are afraid that it will chill many court ministers.

And the Ministry of Rites is just that.

The Ministry of Industry is a critical period of reform, implicating the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Sun Hua, Zheng Wen is afraid that the reform of the Ministry of Industry will be stillborn, which is a matter of self-cutting.

So he can't do that!

Zheng Wen laughed angrily, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? What are you doing on your knees? Get up! ”

And he said, "Let's check it out!" Didn't a few pawns die? Afraid of what? Then check. ”

The four people who were about to get up turned pale for a while when they heard this, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to get up, and they all said in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Zheng Wen listened, looked at them and said, "I know what you mean, and it's for my good!" ”

"After all, this is a royal scandal, it's not good for me to make a big fuss, and it's not good for the royal family, I know all this!"

"But I am a person, saying one is one, saying two is two, and I know right and wrong very clearly."

"In my eyes, right and wrong are always so clear, and there is no such thing as confusing right and wrong."

"I'm not afraid of royal scandals!"

"And Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I all know that these two bosses are loyal to the country, and it is impossible to do such a thing, and the entire government and the opposition also know."

"I can't let the loyal ministers be wronged, let the loyal ministers be cold, and let the ministers of the world be cold!"

"So, check it out!"

When Liu Jian heard this, his eyes turned red, and his body trembled with excitement, and he was deeply moved by the emperor's words. How many years, decades into the political arena, this is the most heartwarming words he has ever heard!

In fact, when Liu Jian got these two letters, he also thought that Sun Hua and Qian Chang were about to end, but he was afraid that his reputation would be dusted for the rest of his life, and he felt sorry for them in his heart.

The act of "persuading His Majesty to think twice" several times is just the duty of the prime minister to advise. He still hopes that His Majesty can check it out, and the two elders have a clear reputation!

When Zheng Wen repeatedly made the move of "checking down", his heart was excited and grateful!

And the expressions on Qin Fei and Zheng's faces were similar, but King Yan showed a hint of surprise on his face.

When Zheng Wen saw it, he didn't care.

"Check it, check it carefully!" Zheng Wen said with certainty again.

"Whoa!" The four people kneeling below answered in unison.

……

At this time, in the prison of the Criminal Department, Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, sat opposite each other in a relatively modest cell.

They were speechless for a while.

After a while, Qian Changcai said worriedly: "Old Sun, this time you and I are afraid that we will be implicated, but it's a pity that you and I have a clear reputation, maybe this time it is the real Qing history to leave a name, it's just a big notoriety, the old man is not so terrible about death, but he still takes care of my reputation!" ”

Sun Hua listened, shook his head, and then spoke: "Old Qian, you are worrying about the sky, I don't think so!" ”

"Oh, what do you think differently?" Qian Chang listened and said with a disapproving face.

"Old Qian, I think we're okay this time, and no one in the entire government and the opposition is cleaner than me." Sun Hua said.

Qian Chang listened, nodded, and then lowered his voice and said: "I know this, this matter really can't be done by us, but after all, it's a scandal, this matter is all in the Sacred Heart, Your Majesty is afraid that it won't be investigated, so we can only bear the blame!" ”

Sun Hua listened, smiled, shook his head again, and then said, "Old Qian, you still don't know Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, is a Ming Jun, and a different kind of Ming Jun!"

"He doesn't value his personal reputation so much, he values practicality, and he is realistic and truth-seeking."

"Let's just talk about this matter, it is a big matter in the hearts of the ministers of the government and the opposition, and they think that it is not clear how many important ministers will lose their posts and abandon their posts. But in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that he will think that someone is deliberately blocking him, he will not turn big things into small things and small things, and he will pass by for the sake of his reputation, he will only check it hard. ”

"Moreover, Your Majesty will not let the minister bear the notoriety for him. Look at it! ”

When Qian Chang heard this, he didn't defend himself, and only after a while did he speak: "I hope so!" ”

Sun Hua was also silent for a while, and then said with some worry: "It's just that Your Majesty is young after all, and he has just ascended the throne, and if he continues to be so tough, there will be a lot of things!" ”

"If you and I are sacrificed, it will be good to be able to exchange for a stable situation!"

When Qian Chang heard this, he was so stunned that he didn't dare to speak again!

The scene suddenly became awkward.

At this moment, a small official walked into the cell and said with a smile on his face: "Two adults, congratulations, Your Majesty has ordered the case to be re-examined, and the two adults will be able to go out immediately." ”

The two listened.

Qian Chang looked embarrassed.

But Sun Hua was worried!

……

And the Tang Palace.

Tang Wang Zheng Jiao and Xie Yu sat opposite each other.

Xie Yu took the lead in speaking with a worried face: "Lord Wang, you have played really big this time. I didn't expect you to dare to make a fuss on the mausoleum of the first emperor, Lord, are you crazy! ”

Zheng Jiao's face was expressionless, so he said: "Cousin, it's not alone, it's really not alone. My father was so good to me, how could I make a fuss about his mausoleum! ”

Xie Yu looked incredulous, and after a while, he spoke: "Lord Wang, who are you not?" I inquired, and the word 'prince' was mentioned in the confessions of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites. Xie Xiong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is my uncle, and in the confession of Xu Yang in the Ministry of Rites, 'Shangguan' is mentioned, and Li Kang in the Ministry of Rites is not exactly your person? Why do you hide it from me? ”

Xie Yu didn't believe it, so he tried it.

Zheng Jiao listened, a little helpless, and then repeated: "Cousin, it's really not lonely, it's really not lonely!" I swear that this is not alone! ”

"Lord Wang, you really didn't do it, it's unlikely, right?" Xie Yu asked with some uncertainty.

In fact, Xie Yu didn't quite believe that Zheng Jiao did it, but all possible evidence showed that Zheng Jiao did it, so Xie Yu had to suspect it.

"It's not alone!" Zheng Jiao repeated again.

Xie Yu carefully observed Zheng Jiao before he spoke: "Lord Wang, if you didn't do it." You have to be careful, this is a false accusation against you, but I don't know who it is this time? ”

Zheng Jiao listened, nodded, and then said: "Gu is also thinking about this problem, but Gu has thought about it again and again, but he is still not sure, you help Gu analyze and analyze!" ”

"Gu believes that there are only three people in the court who have the ability to frame Gu, one is Xiao Jiu, one is the eldest brother Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang, and the other is the second brother Zhou Wang Zheng Tong."

Xie Yu listened, nodded in agreement, and then spoke: "Lord, Your Majesty can't do it, he doesn't need it, he won't, let alone make a fuss on the emperor's tomb to frame you." As an emperor, from my observation of him, it is impossible for him to do such a thing, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zheng Jiao listened, nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Jiu can't be, this lonely agrees." What about the lonely eldest brother Yan Wang? ”

Xie Yu listened and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "King Yan, right?" There's no reason for that! I can't think of any reason. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Prince Yan has been very silent. Shouldn't it be him? ”

Zheng Jiao listened, nodded in agreement, and then spoke again: "Could it be my second brother King Zhou?" ”

Xie Yu listened, and after a long while, he spoke: "Shouldn't it?" Prince Zhou was just violently attacked by His Majesty a few days ago, although he still has the strength to do this, but it is obviously not worth the loss to do so! He should have been silent for a while, he shouldn't have come forward, this can't be what he did, right? ”

But there was still a hint of uncertainty in Xie Yu's tone.

Zheng Jiao listened, nodded and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, but who did it?" ”

"Could it be that your other brothers did it?" Xie Yu said with some uncertainty.

"Impossible, they don't have such a big force in the capital, I can't imagine who has such a big power, and can cultivate so many die-hard forces in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites at the same time, if anything, this person is too deeply hidden!" Zheng Jiao said so sure on his lips, but he was not so sure in his heart.

Xie Yu listened to it before he spoke: "There is still too little information, and the people directly related to it are all dead, and the prince still has to prepare for the worst!" ”

For a while, there was silence in the Yan Wangfu.
