The Qingshan anti-party case has become the hottest case in the capital, and almost all the civil and military ministers from Qingshan Academy have been included in the list of anti-party and need to cooperate with the three law divisions to investigate in detail. But once you enter the Dali Temple, no one can come out of it, and every official who enters the Dali Temple will eventually be convicted, and then rely on the confession of the Dali Temple to arrest the suspects who have been implicated.

As soon as this case came out, the Qingshan scholars were panicked, including Yan Keran. As the captain of the Imperial Guard, the actual commander of the Imperial Guard, he still has to ensure that he needs to go to the official office every day, and every time he leaves home, he will say goodbye to his mother, because he doesn't know if he will have the life to go home again after going to the imperial city today.

"Senior Brother Liao Zhen is a group of people who have been imprisoned, and then more senior brothers have also been imprisoned one after another, once they are labeled as rebels, they will definitely be punished by the Nine Clans! Fortunately, it was okay to say silently for the time being. Yan Keran laughed at himself, "I can't protect myself, what else can I do to help them?" I'm just a little lieutenant after all. ”

After thinking about it, the carriage and horse had already arrived at the gate of the imperial city, and after entering the official office, Yan Keran planned to inspect the imperial city, and when he walked outside the Ming Yuan Palace, he deliberately stopped, he wanted to see what kind of things would happen in today's court meeting.

In addition to talking about the invasion of Xiliang and Xia Tang, the rest of the day is about the case of Qingshan's rebellion against the party, and every day the court meeting will decide the life and death of some people. For this reason, whenever Yan Keran came to the outside of the Ming Yuan Palace, he would deliberately stop for a while, and sometimes even wait until the dispersal of the dynasty. But what can Yan Keran do? Not to mention putting forward a personal opinion, he didn't even have the qualifications to step into the Ming Yuan Palace, and the position he was standing in was far away from the palace gate, and he couldn't see anyone inside or hear any sound.

However, in fact, the ministers in the Ming Yuan Palace at this time had their own opinions. Shen Qianji took the latest confession and presented it to Emperor Liang, and the confession provided a list of new ministers who participated in the rebellion. Some courtiers raised objections, arguing that the case had already been implicated and should not be continued, and that the minister could not be charged with rebellion just because he was born in Castle Peak Academy. However, the courtiers who supported Shen Qianji believed that the grass must be eradicated, and if they couldn't take this opportunity to wipe out those chaotic parties, there would be another rebellion like King Ling in the future, how could this reorganize the dynasty!

"Okay, don't quarrel, I still support Lord Shen's opinion, those who are in contact with foreign countries and plot to subvert Daliang must be severely punished!"

Cai Quan stood up at the right time and said: "The old minister thinks that what the Holy Lord said is extremely true! If Castle Peak Academy had instilled in the scholars from the beginning the idea of setting up a new emperor to achieve a lifetime of fame, then those ministers from Castle Peak Academy would have the intention of causing trouble, and Castle Peak Academy had a close relationship with Xiao Yunqi, and he was a key criminal arrested by the current imperial court. ”

After Cai Quan finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Xu Henian, so Emperor Liang asked Xu Henian to come out of the queue and recount all the things he saw in Mobei to all the ministers again.

Xu Henian said loudly: "Weichen was ordered to go to Mobei to supervise the army, and at that time, he happened to encounter Xiliang attacking Yecang City. Weichen has been urging the defenders to go out of the city to meet the Xiliang army, but they all refused to go out of the city on the grounds of insufficient military strength, resulting in the Xiliang army entrenched in Mobei for more than half a month. At first, Weichen also agreed with the judgment of the Xuanjia Army, after all, they were soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, but until King Yu ...... Oh, Wechen is guilty! It was Xiao Yunqi who suddenly appeared in Yecang City and regained control of the command of the Xuanjia Army, and he ordered the gate of Yecang City to be opened to let the Xiliang Army enter. The deputy envoy of the Tai did not want to see the land lost, so he organized the Divine Killing Cavalry to start a counterattack, but after all, the Divine Killing Cavalry had limited troops, and in the end they all died in the end! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers present were all surprised and inexplicable, and some shook their heads and said that they had been deceived by the benevolent and filial piety loyal army pretended to be by King Yu; Some were filled with righteous indignation, gritting their teeth at King Yu for making such a humiliating move; But there are still people who keep their own thinking, just like Xiao Moyan and Jiang Weizhen, who are suspicious of Xu Henian's words.

"Ministers, did you hear me clearly? Xiao Yunqi has returned to Mobei, and the Xuanjia Army has become a rebel army in his hands, they have obviously reached some kind of agreement with Xiliang, which is clearly the act of the rebellious ministers and thieves! ”

"Holy!" Xiao Moyan finally couldn't bear to speak, "Regarding Lord Xu's narrative, Wei Chen feels that there are several points worth scrutinizing: one is how did Xiao Yunqi suddenly appear in Yecang City? As far as Wei Chen knows, the imperial court is already wanted in the whole country, how did he escape so many checkpoints and successfully enter Yecang City, and he didn't even know about the prison army Lord Xu himself. Second, if the Xuanjia Army opened the city gate and let the Xiliang Army enter the city, then the loyal and patriotic Lord Xu would be the first target to be removed, after all, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage for their conspiracy to let Lord Xu come back alive to report the news? So Weichen dares to ask Lord Xu, how did you manage to return to the capital unscathed? ”

Being asked like this, Xu Henian was a little overwhelmed, after all, what he said was a lie, and it was not up to him to say how to round it at the moment. So Xu Henian peeked at Emperor Liang and wanted to get some instructions from him.

Seeing that Xu Henian didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Moyan persecuted: "How? Is the escape process too thrilling? Lord Xu can't even talk about it now! ”

"Lord Xiao!" Shen Qianji spoke, "Although the question you asked is also reasonable, there is still an obvious suspicion of being in the same party." I have your name in this confession. ”

Xiao Moyan seemed to have expected that he would have such a day, and he was even more fearless at the moment, "Dare to ask Lord Shen, what kind of crime did Wei Chen confess in his confession?" ”

"Naturally, Lord Xiao also participated in the rebellion and provided private help for Xiao Yunqi to seize the throne. Both of you are Xiao Yunqi's party! ”

"What is the evidence? Confession alone is not enough to determine the crime, and there is no need for Weichen to remind Lord Shen of this! Who provided the confession, Wei Chen is willing to confront this person in court on this big hall! ”

"Lord Xiao, Mingyuan Palace is the place where the court will meet, but not the place where the case will be tried, and the trial will naturally be handed over to Dali Temple, do you still need the old minister to remind Lord Xiao?"

Cai Quan was obviously on Shen Qianji's side, and Jiang Weizhen came out and said: "The difference between what Cai Xiang said! The court meeting was originally a place for ministers to propose state affairs, and these days the case of Qingshan's opposition to the party has been discussed in the Ming Yuan Palace? Could it be that the words of the previous pilgrimages were not counted? Or maybe the court meeting has already been decided by a few ministers, you say yes, you say yes, you say yes! ”

Cai Xiang was choked for a while, he hadn't met such an eloquent opponent for many years, and he couldn't find the right words to refute for a while.

"What Master Jiang said is extremely true, this court meeting is a place to discuss national affairs, and the case of Qingshan's opposition to the party is a national matter, so it can naturally be discussed in Mingyuan Palace!" After Shen Qianji finished speaking, he bowed to Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang immediately expressed his support for his words: "I have always believed that the court meeting is a place where ministers can speak freely and serve the country, and anything can be discussed as long as it is beneficial to the country!" ”

"Master Xiao once said that relying on confession alone is not enough to determine the crime, in fact, Weichen has witnesses and physical evidence, and the witnesses are those sinners who have been imprisoned to confess, as for the physical evidence, Weichen has found the correspondence between Qingshan Academy and Xiao Yunqi, many of which covet the throne, and the signature is Lord Xiao."

Xiao Moyan began to think back to the past when he had been to the academy before, and he did help the academy write a small number of documents for King Yu, but the content of them definitely did not involve such a highly confidential matter as the throne. Moreover, the epistle is not only signed by itself, but also .......

"These letters were all found by the commander of the Tai Shan Academy in Qingshan Academy, and all of them are evidence of the rebellion of Qingshan Academy. In addition to the signatures of some of those already on file, there is also a ......"

Seeing that Shen Qianji looked a little embarrassed, Emperor Liang couldn't help but be unhappy, frowned and asked, "Is there anything that can't be said clearly?" There is nothing to hide about the major affairs of the family and the country, Lord Shen, you can just say it! ”

"Yes, Holy One! Among those letters, there is also the signature of a person, who has always been by the side of the saint, and is carrying out the task of protecting the safety of the imperial city, he is the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, Yan Ke Ran! ”
