After Lord Tian explained the situation to Queen Zhou, he personally went to the city gate to pick up Suzaku and others. The imperial city of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info has now been controlled by Wen Tiren's minions, and in addition to the emperor in the court, only Lord Tian still has some ability to carry it with Wen Tiren. Although Suzaku and Sai Shiqian put Gonggong Liu, Zu Dashou, Sheng Tianyue and others into the sedan chair, it was really Lord Tian who opened the way to enter the palace smoothly.

"Qinglong, it's not that they want to see me, it's that you want to see me, right?" Hearing that there was a lot of movement outside, he was still carrying a sedan chair, and he followed a lot of brocade guards, Chongzhen asked Zhu Qing.

"The emperor is sage, and the last general is also forced to do so." Zhu Qing responded.

"It's a last resort. Have you already returned to Beijing? Chongzhen smiled faintly.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the last general received the crown carrier pigeon on the way back to Beijing." Zhu Qing said frankly.

Chongzhen nodded, sure enough, it was Qinglong, and he would always have foresight.

"Get down!" The three adults who were still sitting in the sedan chair just now were driven off the sedan chair by the race time as soon as they entered the Imperial Academy.

The three of them are guilty of their ability, and letting them sit in a sedan chair is just to get by.

Lord Tian and others walked into Chongzhen's imperial study, although it was a study, but the emperor's study was extraordinary, and it was no wonder that he always held some secret meetings here.

"Ministers, see the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "Unlike Zhu Qing, Tian Daren and others wanted to kowtow and say long live when they saw Chongzhen.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen sat in the main hall of the imperial study and said to the ministers under the hall, "You call me up in the middle of the night, what is the so-called matter?" Chongzhen also got straight to the point.

Lord Tian and the others got up and looked at Zhu Qing beside the emperor, and motioned for him to speak.

Chongzhen smiled slightly, "I knew that it must be your Qinglong's idea." Go ahead! There is nothing to wait until the morning to talk about it. Chongzhen took a sip of tea.

"At the end, I will report to the emperor about the Beijing suburb store, and show Xue for the two adults, Killing Wind and Liu Qingfeng." Zhu Qing bowed to Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen heard the word Zhaoxue, he was not very happy, "Zhaoxue? Are you saying that I wronged both of them? ”

"The last general will not dare, but this matter is strange, and someone framed him." Zhu Qing responded.

"Oh? What's the difference? Who planted it? What is the dirt planted? Chongzhen's series of questions made Suzaku and Sai Shiqian and others sweat for Zhu Qing.

Ran Zhu Qing said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, is it recommended by Wen Tiren that Zu Dashou sent troops?" ”

"Exactly." Chongzhen responded.

Zhu Qing nodded and continued, "Okay! Wen Tiren didn't know that the Beijing suburb store was the rear of Kaifeng. ”

"Of course I know, otherwise how would he recommend Zu Dashou to guard the fortress on the outskirts of Beijing?"

"Good. The emperor agreed to Wen Tiren's invitation, presumably the emperor also had the same idea as Wen Tiren? Zhu Qing asked boldly.

"What do you mean?" Chongzhen said suspiciously.

"If I guessed correctly, the emperor is worried that Kaifeng will not be able to suppress the invading army, or rather, is he worried that Kaifeng and the invading camp will merge?" Zhu Qing's question became more and more acute.

Of course, Chongzhen would not say that he was worried about the merger of the two armies at this time, even if he had such thoughts, but he still hurriedly avoided suspicion and said, "Kaifeng is the front gate of the capital, why not send more than 100,000 troops as the backing of Kaifeng?" Chongzhen asked rhetorically.

"The emperor is wise, and there are 100,000 troops guarding the suburbs of Beijing, which can indeed provide strong backup support for the defense of Kaifeng City. However, has the emperor ever thought about what the consequences would be if the 100,000 army was not Kaifeng's reinforcements, but Kaifeng's enemies, trying to flank Kaifeng before and after? Zhu Qing gradually led the topic to the conspiracy of the Wen Tiren group.

"Qinglong, of course I know that this 100,000-strong army is a double-edged sword, but I want you to understand that slandering the ministers of the DPRK and China without real evidence is a capital crime. Moreover, your behavior has gone far beyond their words. This is the last chance I give you, if you can't convince me tonight, let alone Killing Wind and Liu Qingfeng, even you and these people who are with you tonight will not escape punishment! Chongzhen said, his tone suddenly stern.

Tian Daren and the others couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in their hearts. Even Queen Zhou struggled for Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing replied without changing his face, "Your Majesty, if there is no real evidence, Zhu Qing will not come to face the saint tonight." ”

"Okay, I hope you can prove what you said." Chongzhen sneered.

"Actually, all this is a conspiracy of Wen Tiren. He colluded with Zu Dashou to send troops to the Beijing suburbs in order to attack Kaifeng with the army in Tongguan! For this reason, he conspired with Li Zicheng, not only helped Li Zicheng settle the cremation case of the Criminal Department, but also matched Li Zicheng and Zu Dashou. Moreover, in order to get Li Zicheng's strong support, he also made fake jade seals without authorization and tampered with the holy decree of reward, in order to achieve the purpose of intensifying the internal contradictions of the army and provoking Zhang Xianzhong, and then helping Li Zicheng seize Zhang Xianzhong's military power......" Before Zhu Qing finished speaking, the Imperial Academy suddenly rioted.

After Wen Tiren got the news of the spies, he summoned Jiang Dong to rush to the Imperial Academy. Because he didn't know that Zhu Qing had returned, he thought that it was just Lord Tian and others making small moves, so he didn't alarm Tie Song of the Iron Mask Gate, and obviously he didn't know that Tie Song had been arrested.

"Which villain said bad things about his official in front of the emperor?!" Wen Tiren was angry and even more domineering.

When he rushed into the imperial study, he was immediately stunned, in addition to Lord Tian and other people who were not in tune with him, there was also a person who made him sleep, and that was Zhu Qing.

"Lord Wen, the one who impeached you is the last general!" Zhu Qing turned around and met Wen Tiren's eyes.

"You...... How are you?! Wen Tiren panicked.

"Isn't Lord Wen going to return to Beijing within a day? Why, now that the general is back, it seems that Lord Wen is very unhappy. Zhu Qing sneered.

Wen Tiren never expected Zhu Qing to return to the capital so soon, and he entered the palace one step earlier than himself, but now he has no intention of saying more, and there may be a way out in front of the emperor, not to mention that except for Zhu Qing and Sai Shiqian, Wen Tiren did not see anyone else who made him uneasy.

"Humph! Qinglong, if I, Wen, chewed the root of my tongue behind your back, would you be happy? Wen Tiren quickly entered a state of argument.

"Lord Wen dares to say no?" Zhu Qing responded.

"There is no basis for words! Your Majesty, Qinglong slandered Weichen, please ask the emperor to make decisions for Weichen! Wen Tiren shook Zhu Qing with a cold eye, then turned to Chongzhen and said.

"Old Wen Ge is really fast, the wind in this palace blew on the Wen Mansion all of a sudden, I am ashamed of myself." Regarding Wen Tiren's sudden appearance, Chongzhen naturally knew that Wen Tiren must have made a lot of moves.

"Weichen was just worried about the emperor's safety, so he asked Da Neijia to send troops to patrol the night, and the minister had just learned that Zhu Qing and a group of people were trying to kill the emperor, so he rushed to the rescue. Please Emperor Mingjian. "Wen Tiren said with false compassion.

When Tian Daren and the others heard this, they all sneered in their hearts. Chongzhen also smiled slightly, "That's really hard Wen Ge is old." ”

"Weichen is loyal, please let the emperor know it." Wen Tiren bowed again.

Chongzhen saw that Wen Tiren was so serious, so he turned to Zhu Qingdao, "Qinglong, Wen Ge Lao is loyal, if you don't have real evidence, blood spurts people, I will deal with it impartially!" ”

When Wen Tiren heard this, he glanced at Zhu Qing and the others, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Hmph!" ”

"If Qinglongkou has no certificate, he is willing to be punished!" Zhu Qing responded.

"Good! You Wen Ge Lao controlled the cremation case of the Criminal Department, do you have any credentials? Chongzhen asked.

"The last general has a confession here, please review it by the emperor!" Zhu Qing said, and presented Sheng Tianyue's confession, and at this time, Wang Chengen, the celebrant supervisor, was not there, and it was Queen Zhou who personally presented the confession for Chongzhen.

Wen Tiren didn't know who this so-called confession came from, and he was really worried in his heart.

Chongzhen's confession was listed, and he sneered in his heart, "Elder Wen Ge, this is the confession of Sheng Tianyue, the servant of the Criminal Department, he said that you went to his house on the eve of the criminal department's cremation case and asked him to help deal with the assassination case in Chengdong Village, so there was the later criminal department cremation case, and it was the intention of the assassin to burn the assassin's body to cover up the assassin's invasion of the army, in fact, it was to calm the turmoil for Li Zicheng...... Is there such a thing?! ”

When Wen Tiren heard this, he was shocked, these are all facts, how did Zhu Qing get Sheng Tianyue's confession? When this case was decided, Zhu Qingyuan was in Kaifeng, and now he has just come back, and he is definitely not Zhu Qing's Sheng Tianyue! Is it killing the wind?! Wen Tiren quickly thought of Killing Feng and Liu Qingfeng who were thrown into prison! But when he thought of the murderous wind at this time, he smiled coldly.

"Elder Wen Ge?" Seeing that Wen Tiren did not answer in time, Chongzhen asked.

"Oh, Emperor Qiqi, there is no such thing, Weichen has never been to the Sheng Mansion, let alone manipulated any cremation case. There is no physical evidence, and based on just a so-called confession, I am afraid that someone fabricated information to frame Weichen. "Wen Tiren is Wen Tiren, even if he has a confession, his face still does not change.

"Good! Do you want human and physical evidence? General Ben will give it to you! Zhu Qing smiled, then turned around and gave a look at Sai Shi Qiandao, who shouted outside the study, "Bring it up!" ”

As soon as the game was drunk, everyone looked out, and when they saw Sheng Tianyue being escorted in by the Jinyi guard, Wen Tiren broke out in a cold sweat in his heart. He couldn't wait to step forward and tear Sheng Tianyue apart!

"The criminal minister Sheng Tianyue knocks on the emperor!" After Sheng Tianyue entered the door, he glanced at Wen Tiren, nodded to Zhu Qing with a wry smile, and then knelt down to worship Chongzhen.

"Sinners?" Chongzhen was puzzled, "Squire of the Criminal Department, what are you guilty of?" ”

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister should not listen to Wen Tiren's slander, Your Majesty!" Sheng Tianyue said goodbye.

"You ......" Wen Tiren just wanted to scold. Chongzhen interjected, "Oh? How so? Recruit from the truth! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sheng Tianyue bowed again, "The day before the emperor personally tried the assassin case in Chengdong Village, Wen Tiren came to my house to find me, saying that he hoped I could help him solve this matter, he didn't want others to know that this was the work of the Chuang army, and Wen Tiren also persuaded me to cooperate with the Chuang army. At that time, I was afraid of Wen Tiren's power and luck, so I had no choice but to help him create the cremation case of the Criminal Department, so that the assassin's body could not be examined. Later, Jin Yiwei found out the clue, and Lord Killing Wind personally interrogated me, so that I had this confession in the emperor's hand, and the criminal swore that every sentence was true! Although Sheng Tianyue said that he was trembling, he finally explained truthfully, and he didn't dare to say half a lie in front of Zhu Qing.

"I said how things were so coincidental, I didn't burn in the morning, I didn't burn in the evening, but I burned the night before my personal trial. Elder Wen Ge, what else do you have to say? Chongzhen shouted coldly to Wen Tiren.

"You...... You're spewing blood! Wen Tiren pointed at Sheng Tianyue angrily, and then turned to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty! The squire of the criminal department slandered Weichen! It must have been Jinyiwei who used torture to extract a confession, forced him to write this false testimony, and forced him to say what he just said. Weichen and Weichen have never been to the Sheng Mansion before the trial, Your Majesty! ”

Jin Yiwei's torture to extract a confession was not without reason, and Wen Tiren's argument was somewhat reasonable, but he was soon slapped in the face by Zhu Qing's evidence.

"You said you hadn't been to the Sheng Mansion? So look, what is it? Zhu Qing said, taking out a plum blossom from his sleeve, it turned out to be a lame evening water!

When Sheng Tianyue saw it, he said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, it is this flower, on my house that day, Wen Tiren also broke one." ”

"Qinglong, what do you say?" Chongzhen was a little foggy when he heard this, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, this is the famous plum blossom in the old capital, lame late water, not to mention the emperor's imperial garden, even the capital is difficult to find this thing, but our criminal department squire Lang Sheng must be very popular, and there is a lame late water in the house. On the same day, Lord Wen visited Master Shan, so he folded a lame evening water in his house. Zhu Qing explained.

"Squire of the Criminal Department, it seems that I am going to your house to have a good look at this rare plum blossom. Hum! Chongzhen was very disgusted with corruption and bribery, so he sarcastically ridiculed Sheng Tianyue.

Sheng Tianyue had no choice but to bow his head and dare not speak.

"Master Shan, you are corrupt and pervert the law yourself, don't pull me into the water! I've never seen any crappy late-night water! Wen Tiren also said coldly to Sheng Tianyue.

Sheng Tianyue glanced at Zhu Qing helplessly, now that he has fallen out with Wen Tiren, if he can't bring down Wen Tiren, his Sheng Tianyue will come to an end in his life.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Lord Wen still doesn't give up!" Brother Shi Qian, show Lord Wen his treasure. Zhu Qing turned to the game and moved the road.

"Yes, General!" As he spoke, he took out a box from his chest and presented it to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, this is the lame evening water that the Shiqian brothers had to take from the Wen Mansion in order to investigate the case, and it can be seen that Lord Wen likes this plum blossom very much, so he specially asked senior craftsmen to engrave this flower in the glazed water, and he also paid for it." Zhu Qing explained.

Chongzhen opened it and saw that there was indeed a lifelike crappy evening water inlaid on a piece of porcelain in the treasure box, and there was really a red stamp of Wen Tiren on the back!

Wen Tiren saw that he was really angry, and he dared to steal it from his head in this game! In fact, only Sai Shi Qian can do this!

"It deserves to be the first plum in China." Chongzhen sighed, and asked Wen Tiren with a colorless face, "Elder Wen Ge, look at it, this is your red poke, right?" But you told me that you hadn't seen a crappy late water. How can you let me help you? ”

"This ...... Emperor! Wechen was confused for a while! Weichen wanted to borrow a plum from Master Shan, but he never instigated him! "There are all human and material evidence, and Wen Tiren can still see the stitches, which is really not simple.

Chongzhen is not a fool, of course he knows that Wen Tiren is quibbling, but he shook his hand and said, "I can not pursue the cremation case, Li Zicheng has already recruited An, you want to win over the relationship in private, I can understand, but I heard that you forged my jade seal privately, stamped it with a red stamp, and passed on a false holy decree." I ask you, can anyone who wants to cover my red stamp?! ”

When Chongzhen said this, he slapped the desk angrily, and Long Yan was furious.
