Chapter 118: Many Acts of Injustice
There was silence in the Fengtian Temple, an official's Chao Wat fell to the ground, "pop", the sudden sound stunned a large number of people, after a figure shook, the tense atmosphere immediately spread, and the suspense seemed to be rendered by a strange atmosphere, and successively lit up the eyes of everyone's expectation.
At this moment, Zhu Qiming just wants Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong to perform to their heart's content, and when the plot enters the second half, if the performance at this time coincides with the other scene in the second half, what a perfect satirical drama it should be!
And Yang Shiqi seemed to be in a hurry.
"Yesterday, there was a murder near Baiyun Temple, seven Taoist priests were killed, and the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division sent people to the scene to investigate, and they hurriedly evacuated the scene without giving any explanation." Xu Gong looked at Yang Shiqi lightly, stood upright, and did not bow his hand. "Zhang Tianshi has always had a relationship with Xiaguan, last night Zhang Tianshi sent someone to find Xiaguan and asked Xiaguan to come forward to investigate this matter, so Xiaguan went to Baiyunguan early this morning, and happened to meet His Royal Highness King Yue."
"Wait!" Yang Shiqi stared at Zhu Qiming for a long time, opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't dare to ask, turned his head to look at Xu Gong, "Why did King Yue go to Baiyun Temple?" ”
Xu Gong said indifferently: "Yesterday, there were two people, a man and a woman, who were killed together with seven Taoist priests, and that woman claimed to be a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and the lower officials knew her. When the lower official protected the king of Yue and returned to Beijing, this woman accompanied her all the way, she was very righteous, and rescued the king of Yue many times, she was killed, and the king of Yue naturally wanted to go to Baiyun to see what was going on. ”
Zhu Qiming waved his hand at Xu Gong and interrupted his words, "Her name is Ni Niang, but unfortunately Xiao Wang doesn't know her true identity, if Yang Yuanfu doesn't believe it, it is better to order Jinyi Wei to check her identity, so that Xiao Wang can be an understanding person." ”
With a "hum", the hundred officials exchanged their heads and began to discuss, and then the reprimands rang out.
"Who is so bold? Even King Yue's life-saving benefactor dared to kill! ”
"Killing that woman, do you want to be unfavorable to King Yue?"
"No need to check the neon ······ Well, the identity of that woman, everything is obvious, why bother! ”
······
From the fierce reaction of hundreds of officials, Zhu Qiming realized that the split had evolved into a rupture, and Yang Shiqi was powerless!
"Not long ago, that woman just went to Qingning Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said that the door of Qingning Palace will always be open to her, it is sad and lamentable, and the guests of Qingning Palace were killed for no apparent reason!" There was sadness in Xu Gong's voice, and after a while, his tone turned more intense, "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, there are at least ten eyewitnesses who passed by the murder scene, and two of them recognized the identities of some of the murderers, they are none other than Yang Yuanfu's eldest son Yang Ji's subordinates!" ”
Yes! The hundred officials were all shocked, and a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on Yang Shiqi, and their burning eyes seemed to burn a few holes in his court clothes.
Yang Rong's face on the side was different, his majesty was no longer there, and Yang Shiqi seemed to be desperately trying to hide his facial expression, and the deep meaning in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a moment of confusion.
The imperial doctor finally came, inspected the wound on Zhu Qiming's wrist, and carefully applied the medicine to him. The medicinal powder had a strong fragrance of reducing the truth, and Zhu Qiming felt that the smell of the medicine was a little pungent, so he inadvertently turned his head to look at the Yutai.
I saw that the emperor glanced at Xu Gong deeply, and Wang Zhen also looked at Xu Gong quietly, with a slight smile on his face.
The affairs of the temple are very delicate, and if the contradictions between the two sides of sharp opposition are irreconcilable, the winner will be decided, and the third party will try to play both sides. Left and right are simply fools' dreams! Tricking at both ends is the same as being left and right, not human.
On the contrary, if you can help one of them gain the upper hand without giving them a handle or helping them, then your future will be bright. At this moment, Xu Gong inadvertently ushered in a major turning point in his bumpy career.
"King Yue was in too much of a hurry when he left, and he only brought nearly a hundred guards with him, Your Majesty, my lords, there had just been a homicide there, Xu Gong was naturally worried about the safety of King Yue, so he personally drove King Yue back. On the way, the horses were frightened by hungry people fighting for food, and the carriage accidentally turned into the inner courtyard of a private house, and when the carriage returned to the street, it was intercepted by more than 200 people, more than 10 of whom secretly applied throwing knives. Those people were so ostentatious and blatantly murderous, so that the lower officials couldn't believe their eyes, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who was arrogant to the point of unscrupulousness! ”
"Although the lower officials had already taken precautions and strongly persuaded King Yue to change to a very ordinary carriage, King Yue was still not immune to assassination, who has such great ability? Xia Guan was puzzled. ”
"Xu Gong, you're lying!" Yang Shiqi shouted: "You said that you were guarding King Yue, but according to the official news, when the flying knife attacked the carriage, you could have pulled out the embroidered spring knife, with your martial arts, it is not difficult to block the flying knife, but you took the lead in avoiding the side and ignoring the safety of King Yue, why is this!" ”
"Ouch!" Xu is wound was painful, Zhu Qiming screamed softly, broke free from the hand of the imperial doctor, and turned to look at Yang Shiqi, "Yang Yuanfu, after Xu Qianhu's persuasion, Xiao Wang has already taken precautions, although the carriage is ordinary, it is equipped with iron armor, and Xiao Wang is wearing soft armor, so the flying knife can't hurt Xiao Wang in the slightest." When those people showed their flying knives, Xiao Wang had already seen them, and immediately ordered Xu Qianhu to get out of the car and keep an eye on those people, so that no one could escape. Alas, fortunately, Xu Qianhu had the foresight and repeatedly reminded Xiao Wang to pay more attention, otherwise, no matter how strong Xu Qianhu's martial arts are, it will be difficult to ensure that Xiao Wang will not make any mistakes. ”
Wang Zhen chuckled all the way to Yang Shiqi, "Yang Yuanfu, it seems that the capital has also become a river and lake, and the wind is high and the waves are urgent!" Someone first killed King Yue's life-saving benefactor, and then attacked King Yue himself, it must have been deliberate and planned for a long time! ”
Zhu Qiming was shocked, and always felt that there was an indescribable strange smell in Wang Zhen's words.
"Wang Zhen, what do you mean!" Yang Rong said angrily to Wang Zhen: "You are insinuating, what kind of crime you want to add!" ”
Wang Zhenhui looked coldly, "Yang Rong, the identity of the person who is now invited to the Fusi of Beizhen is unknown, is it difficult for Yang Ji himself to say, what are you lacking in?" And you are you, Yang Ji is Yang Ji, if the two of you are not implicated, are you so impatient? ”
Yang Rong was about to have a seizure, but he heard an official in the distance snorting and saying, "His Royal Highness King Yue, since you are well-protected, what ······ Injuries on your hands······ What's going on? ”
"At that time, there was a pair of mother and daughter next to the carriage, and was seen by the king of Yue, the king of Yue was worried that the flying knife would hurt them, so he wanted to get out of the car and drive the two away, but there was really a flying knife flying towards the mother and daughter, and the king of Yue disregarded his personal safety, and waved his arm to shoot down the flying knife, but injured his wrist." Xu Gong said.
The hundred officials in the hall nodded their heads, sighed and sighed, and when they raised their eyes to look at Zhu Qiming again, there was more praise in everyone's eyes.
On the one hand, there is a prince who sacrifices his life to save people, and on the other hand, there is an auxiliary minister who deliberately protects his shortcomings, and it is self-evident who is who, such a comparison makes Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong feel frustrated.
I saw Yang Rong Tengteng running to the throne and kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, someone is making a big fuss about today's affairs, and the words are aimed at Yang Yuanfu and the ministers. ”
Divert your gaze? Zhu Qiming couldn't help but gasp. Whether it is said that Yang Rong is suspicious, or that he is sensitive, in short, Yang Rong's words carry a lot of weight, as soon as this statement comes out, even if Yang Ji's criminal evidence is conclusive, once it is linked to the fact that someone is secretly pointing at the auxiliary minister, it will be engraved with the suspicion of political disputes, and Yang Ji's criminal evidence will not be so credible.
Zhu Qiming was a little worried, thinking that the emperor could only cross the thorns laid by Yang Rong with great wisdom at this moment, otherwise he would have to retreat and issue an order to release people, and retreating would mean that all his previous achievements would be wasted!
Yang Shiqi also came to the throne and knelt down, "Your Majesty, if it is a big trial today, I will ask Your Majesty to order the arrest of the unscrupulous son of the minister to be imprisoned, and Your Majesty will move to Beizhen Fusi for personal trial, why listen to the words of King Yue and Xu Gong here?" If it is not for the trial, then please ask Your Majesty to order the Jinyi Guard to release him. ”
"Release?" Wang Zhen questioned: "Don't you still have to verify your identity!" ”
"It's not difficult to verify your identity, Your Majesty, there must be many people in Jinyiwei who know Yang Ji, even if no one in Jinyiwei recognizes him, wouldn't it be easy to bring people to the ministers for identification? The minister didn't want to say anything, but Jin Yiwei acted like this, and the minister couldn't help but ask, what is the meaning of the drunkard! ”
The emperor was slightly shocked, his eyes swept to the hundred officials, and then he slowly stood up, "Yang Qing, you have been ordered by the first emperor to be on his deathbed, assisting me for many years, and you have worked hard and made great achievements, how can I be unkind to you?" Yang Qing rest assured, no one will arrest Yang Ji and put him in prison, and today's matter will end here, and we will discuss it later. Come! ”
The eunuch entered with the hall, but was grabbed by Ma Shun, who came in a hurry. Seeing Ma Shun, Zhu Qiming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Shun knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Beizhen Fusi to see it with his own eyes, and that person is Yang Yuanfu's eldest son Yang Ji. Yang Ji personally said that he instructed more than ten people to throw knives at the seat of King Yue, and he also said that he killed a total of nine people with his own hands, and instructed others to kill nearly 100 people, causing countless injuries and disabilities······"
"Shut up!" Yang Rong's thunderous roar shook everyone's ears, "Jinyiwei abuses torture and forces people to confess, setting up a situation like this, which makes the world's soldiers feel cold!" ”
The emperor watched Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong for a moment, then turned to Ma Shun and said, "Bold!" Didn't you say that only identity verification? Why Unauthorized Hearings! ”
"The minister is wronged!" Ma Shun said suddenly: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei treats Yang Ji like a guest, and after the minister goes back to verify his identity, he leads a group of people to apologize, and he has all the good things to say, but Yang Ji just refuses to leave, and all the things that the minister has just played are all shouted out by Yang Ji himself." ”
Yang Shiqi cried on the ground: "Jinyiwei is worthy of being the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the minister's unscrupulous son fell there, and the minister has nothing to say, and now only Zhishi can complete Jinyiwei's painstaking work!" ”
The emperor turned his head to look at Zhu Qiming, and Zhu Qiming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister was reckless and inadvertently caused a big disaster. The minister only suffered a little skin injury, but Yang Yuanfu and Yang Ge Lao suffered a great grievance, and the minister dared to ask His Majesty to move to Beizhen Fusi and appease Yang Ji with a holy oracle, if Yang Ji really received the hearing, the minister was willing to be guilty of the same crime as Jinyiwei! ”
······
Ma Shun led the way, and more than 100 people from the monarch and ministers entered the Fusi of Beizhen, but they did not go to the Jinyi Guard, but went straight to a spacious hall.
The lights in the hall were bright, the fragrance of wine was overflowing, and Yang Ji could be seen from a distance intact and sitting in front of the dining table with a big grin, scolding his mother while eating meat: "Damn, Jinyiwei is a fart!" If you want Lao Tzu to come in, Lao Tzu will come in, and if you want Lao Tzu to go out, Lao Tzu will go out? Don't! If you don't kneel in front of Lao Tzu and beg your grandfather to tell your grandmother to cry for two or three days, Lao Tzu will never go out! ”
Hearing these harsh words, the monarch and the ministers could no longer take a step, and they all stopped outside the hall door.
"What is Lao Tzu able to kill a hundred or so people? It's just a swarm of ants! ”
Such words are really true, from the mouth of Yang Ji, falling into the ears of the monarch and ministers, making cold air flutter down the spine.
"What if you hurt King Yue? He didn't die, Lao Tzu said that it was a misunderstanding, so he had to ask Lao Tzu to plead guilty! ”
Dare to say such presumptuous words, and if you listen to it again, you can only pollute the ears of the monarch and the minister! Seeing that Yang Shiqi's face was pale, he was eager to rush into the hall and plug the rotten mouth, but he was still a step too late.
"I don't want to think about it, without my father's assistance, can he sit firmly on the throne of the Son of Heaven? I don't know whose country it is! ”
Before Yang Ji's words fell, he saw Yang Shiqi kneeling on the ground in a dejected manner, tears in his eyes, and the angry flames in the eyes of the hundred officials were instantly ignited, and a large number of people knelt down together, and a loud voice sounded in the crowd, announcing Yang Ji's death sentence.
"Your Majesty, how can there be half a point of the law of the system! If this person is not punished for Ling Chi and rebuilt, the king will not be the king, the minister will not be the minister, and the country will not be the country! ”
