Chapter 201: A Sharp Turn

A perfect painting of the inner officials is about to be revealed, revealing the incomparably evil true nature, which will bring a huge shock to the heart of the Son of Heaven, and then produce a domino effect, completely shaking the foundation of the Son of Heaven's trust in the internal officials, this is the wonderful ending that the foreign officials are waiting for! At this point, Yang Pu and the others remained silent, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, quietly waiting for the coming of the closing moment.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Qiming felt like he was in a dream. After several big dramas such as staying in the middle of the temple, sealing and returning, and Fu Que were staged in succession, the confrontation between the DPRK and the Chinese and foreign ministers was full of tension, so it was full of tension, as long as the Son of Heaven let go of his hand, it would definitely form a thunderous momentum, which would mean the collapse of the palace of internal official power!

However, at this time of crisis, will the "internal minister" Wang Zhen stay out of the matter? It seems hard to believe.

Xining finally came back to her senses from her stunned statelessness, bowed down and trotted a few steps, kneeling in front of the throne, "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged, I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!" Your Majesty treats Weichen well, Weichen wants to see Your Majesty, the imperial guards will let them go when they see people, and never stop them, how can Weichen use the jade pendant given by the emperor? At the beginning, the young eunuch Liu Ji often went to the palace on behalf of Weichen, in order to facilitate his actions, Weichen transferred the imperial jade pendant to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji accidentally lost the jade pendant on the first day of the first year of orthodoxy, Weichen was worried that His Majesty would be guilty, so he concealed the matter, Weichen knew that he was guilty, but the jade pendant was not lost by Weichen in Xuanwumen! ”

It seems that the movement in the temple really did not alarm Xining, so Xining came to be interrogated by surprise, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't stand Xu Gong shaking out the detailed facts of the case one after another, in such a short period of time, he didn't have time to justify himself one by one. At this moment, he once again counted the old accounts on the head of Liu Ji, who did not see anyone alive or dead, and his words naturally would not be convincing.

Most of Jiuqing's faces showed disdainful expressions. The emperor opened his mouth to say something, but finally snorted heavily and turned his face sideways suddenly.

Liu Ji? As soon as Zhu Qiming thought of this person, a trace of doubt immediately flashed in his mind, and he always felt that Xu Gong's investigation results were a little regretful.

Wang Ji came out of the class, "Your Majesty, Xining is suspected of murdering King Yue, the evidence is conclusive, if Your Majesty thinks that there are still omissions in this case, then Xining will be handed over to the Three Law Divisions for trial." ”

Yang Pu immediately spoke out, blocking Xining's last retreat: "Your Majesty, since Xining is suspected of colluding with the Warat people and conspiring to calculate the king of Yue, and Xining has mentioned Liu Ji several times, then the defeat of Zhao Gang is worth investigating in detail, so it is not appropriate for Jinyi Wei to investigate this case, and it is appropriate for the three law divisions to be tried, and the military department should participate in the trial." ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and waved his hand, it seemed that he had thought of Yang Pu's invitation, and suddenly saw Wang Zhen quickly stepping into the Yongsu Palace, so the emperor waved his hand in the air for a moment, and then slowly put it down.

Yang Pu and the others looked at Wang Zhen who suddenly appeared, and their eyes showed a little surprise.

It seems that Baiguan must have missed a move somewhere, so Wang Zhen was able to appear at the right time! Zhu Qiming suddenly felt apprehensive in his heart, but the emperor sealed his mouth early with the sentence "If you ask a question, you will answer", all he can do at the moment is to wait and see what happens.

"Your Majesty, the minister can testify that the jade pendant was indeed not lost by Xining."

Wang Zhen's words undoubtedly dropped a shock bomb in the Yongsu Palace, and Jiuqing was shocked, raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and expressed the deep doubts in his heart with his eyes.

Thinking that Wang Zhen dared to wade into this troubled water, he was not afraid of setting himself on fire, and he must have made a fortune, Zhu Qiming's heart hung up.

The emperor's eyes were slowly moving, looking at the faces that were full of doubts, and he had to look at them. "Sir, you said that the jade pendant was not lost by Xining, what is the evidence?"

"Your Majesty, on the third day of the first month of the first year of orthodoxy, Xining had found a minister, he said that he handed over the jade pendant to Liu Ji for convenience, but Liu Ji lost the jade pendant on the day of Zhengdan, and could not find it, Xining was very worried, so he asked the minister to discuss. Your Majesty, Xining privately awarded the jade pendant to Liu Ji, and finally accidentally lost it, this is not a trivial matter, if Your Majesty wants to investigate the crime of Xining's loss of jade, the minister is willing to share the crime with him! ”

It's the first day of the first year of orthodoxy again? Wang Zhen and Xining's caliber are completely consistent, so there is no doubt that the jade pendant is not lost by Xining?

Since the jade pendant was lost on the first day of the first day and not on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, then the so-called inference that Xining absconded to the east side of the Xuanwu Gate after the destruction of the mouth on the eve of the first month, and that there is a jade pendant as evidence, cannot be established.

The chain of evidence has been loosened, and the consequences are extremely serious, Xu Gong has taken a lot of trouble to speak, and has come up with a lot of seemingly impeccable evidence and inferences, but he only needs to be caught by others to open a gap, and he is in danger of being overturned!

The emperor's face was obviously relaxed, indicating his change of mentality early. "Fleeing from Donghua Gate to Xuanwu Gate, if you want to leave no traces along the way, unless that person is responsible for martial arts, ordinary people will never be able to do it. Xi Ning has been serving me since I was three years old, if he says that he has martial arts, can't I see it? For so many years, I have always been alone with Xining, never defended, haven't I always been safe and sound? ”

Not bad! If Xining is a traitor, why is the Son of Heaven so safe? This is a simple logical common sense, and it is really difficult for others to refute it.

Yang Pu obviously sensed the seriousness of the situation, and walked to the front of the royal platform to salute, "Your Majesty, the matter of the jade pendant can be put aside, just talking about Xining's secret meeting with the envoy of Wara, this should always be conclusive evidence, right?" ”

Wang Zhen stared at Yang Pu coldly, "Lord Yang, the first emperor is newly mourned, the feast in the palace on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and the next day as usual to give food to foreign envoys, this matter does not need Xining to come out, but the Sprinkle family happened to have a secret letter here to send to Mahada black hemp, so Xining was entrusted by the Sprinkler family to go to the same hall. ”

"Why didn't Fang Cai Xining dare to declare his feelings!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Zhen's mouth, "Yang Pu, if others don't know, do you pretend to be confused!" Why did King Yue Jing go to the Lantern Market? Hmph, the matter involves the secrets of the government and politics, how dare Xining reveal half a point! ”

Wang Zhenwan mentioned that the secret covenant reached between the Ming Dynasty and Warat in the Cailou of the Lamp Market, the written covenant naturally had to be confirmed by the Son of Heaven, and sent a copy to the Warat envoys on the next day, that is, on the sixteenth day of the first month, this matter was not made public in the court, and most people did not know, but Yang Pu, who was one of the auxiliary ministers, should have heard about it.

After Wang Zhen's prompting, Yang Pu remembered the old thing, although he couldn't confirm the exact time when the letter was delivered, but it was inconvenient to say anything more.

It's really a rout! Xu Gong glanced at Zhu Qiming blankly, cheered up and said aloud, "How did the assassin know that Prince Yue would go to the Lamp Market?" There will be no one else who leaks the news, only Xining! ”

Xi Ning finally came to his senses, "No, Xu Gong, you are planting a sham!" As a close minister of the Imperial Family, how dare they listen, despise, and speak vainly? Didn't there be a plum that entered the Fengtian Temple that day? Plum has a long tongue! ”

"Yes, Plum Mouth Broken." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the brocade guard outside the palace: "Bring the plums quickly!" ”

Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they wanted to hear what Meizi would say! Taking advantage of this, Zhu Qiming recalled Wang Zhen's remarks about the secret letter.

The stakes are big, Wang Zhen definitely doesn't dare to lie, then, the news that he left Qingning Palace and returned home was revealed, and finally fell into the ears of the Tartar thieves, there is only one possibility, that is, Xining used business as a cover to do evil in secret!

It's a pity that the hundreds of officials have made mistakes, giving the internal officials a chance to take advantage of, even if they speak out rashly, I am afraid that it will be useless, but will be suspected of participating in the internal and external official power struggle.

Suddenly, Ma Shun hurriedly ran in, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei was ordered to go and take Meizi, but Meizi ran away as soon as she saw Jinyiwei, and finally jumped into a dry well and fell to her death!" ”

As soon as Ma Shun's words fell, Wang Zhen blurted out: "Meizi committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”

What a suicide in fear of sin! This conclusive language reveals the ruthlessness and determination of the temple conspiracy to the fullest, a palace maid with a broken mouth, just used to carry all the suspicions, although with a trace of the aura of Xianxi Palace, but in the face of the illustrious power, she is still insignificant, and it is not a pity to die.

However, she was clearly fearless in the Yongsu Palace, why did she have a nervous breakdown and be so timid?

The emperor doesn't care about the doubts in other people's hearts, of course he has to believe what he wants to believe! "Dead is dead! She may have inadvertently slipped her mouth and was taken advantage of by thieves! ”

made such a big move, but in exchange for such an unbearable ending, Yang Pu and the others would be extremely frustrated. Zhu Qiming was not depressed, he looked out of the door and faintly realized something.

There was a strong wind outside, and the long palace road reserved an unhindered passage for the strong wind, and where the wind passed, the trees bent their waists, the green grass bowed down, and the windows and leaves on the temple that blocked the wind were beaten so loudly that they were afraid that they would shatter the next moment.

Wang Zhen turned to face Zhu Qiming, and the deep meaning in his eyes flashed with the essence light, "His Royal Highness King Yue, the Sprinkle family is a little curious, when Xu Gong found that jade pendant on the east side of the Xuanwu Gate, was His Royal Highness present?" ”

The whereabouts that I thought were hidden still fell into the eyes of others, sad! Zhu Qiming sighed secretly, he didn't want to hide anything, and he couldn't hide anything. "It was one day in February, just after nightfall, when Commander Xu pointed out the jade pendant, this king was by his side."

"Interesting!" Wang Zhen smiled indifferently, "In other words, at that time, the thousands of guards guarding the Forbidden City were standing with King Yue, and there were only dozens of guards around the emperor. ”

I saw that the figures in the hall shook together, and the body of the monarch and the minister shook instantly, and the range of movement was extremely large, as if it had been struck by lightning.

Wang Zhen took the art of language to the extreme, and in just a few words, he sketched a terrifying picture, on which the ghost of the heart should be punished wandering freely!

I'm afraid that the emperor will be shocked, and he will have no sleep tonight!

The emperor's face changed, and after a long time, he slowly walked off the royal platform and came to Xu Gong's side, "Xu Gong did not live up to the order of the Empress Dowager, and he was very diligent in investigating the case. ”

Rising and falling? Transferred out of the palace forbidden land? This is a rotten plot staged in the temple! Zhu Qiming was still secretly complaining about Xu Gongming, and saw the emperor slowly coming over.

"King Yue is quite interested in the Forbidden City, so it is better to live in another courtyard."

"Your Majesty!" Yang Pu urged the old leg to run to the emperor and kneel down, "There is already a surge of public opinion outside the noon gate, for the sake of prudence, the old case still needs to be investigated in detail." ”

Wang Zhen glanced at Yang Pu impatiently, "How else can I investigate in detail?" Don't worry, Lord Yang, the Fuque outside the noon gate has been persuaded away by Guo Jin. ”

I saw that Yang Pu's body that had just been propped up fell softly again.
