Zhang Dang's pupils shrank, Han Gang was really ruthless.

It's not that he didn't want to ask the queen to send Yushi directly to Jiaozhou to investigate the case, there are all his people over there, and it is easy to get any result you want. The climate of Jiaozhou is different from that of the Central Plains, and if the imperial historian sent to investigate the case dies of illness in the local area, it will inevitably be suspected of wanting to kill people, so the nature of the whole thing will be serious.

Seeing Zhang Dian hesitate, Han Gang was greatly disappointed in his heart, and even the bold Zhang Zihou, who had enjoyed Qingfu in Tokyo for several years, became timid. It's dawn, but when can you retreat?

was about to go out of class to speak, but he saw a figure on the right side flickering, and Zhang Dian still stepped out first.

Standing in the hall, he rushed to the queen and said, "Your Highness Mingjian." The imperial history was ordered by the Son of Heaven, but it can be heard, and there is no limit to the authenticity of the book. This does not mean, however, that impeached persons are not allowed to plead their innocence. What today's imperial history says is nothing more than a frame-up, and the minister Zhang Dun also asked His Royal Highness to send people to find out the truth one by one, and return the ministers to innocence! ”

Seeing that Zhang Duan suppressed his anger, his voice was trembling to defend himself, and he nodded involuntarily to the queen.

"Since Zhang Qing said so, let's find out."

She didn't want to pay attention to this matter in the court, but she didn't know how to end it. The front asked Zhang Dan to go back, and Zhang Dan stood back. asked Zhao Tingzhi to keep his mouth shut, but those imperial historians intensified, and they felt very uncomfortable. Zhang Dian now asked for verification and confronting one by one, and Xiang agreed to the queen without thinking too much.

As soon as he responded to the queen, Zhang Dian immediately said: "The imperial history said that Zhang Dian 'commanded the government and regarded the officials in the courtyard as dogs and horses, Xue Xiang did not dare to fight, and Su Song did not dare to argue'. Now that Su and Xue are in the palace, why don't your highnesses ask them first. ”

"Su Qing, Xue Qing. What do you guys say? "Ask the Queen.

Su Song held the wat board and rushed to the queen to owe it, "The minister has been lucky to enter the West Mansion recently, and he doesn't dare to live up to the Holy Trust." ”

Xue Xiang also followed: "Zhang Dian knows the secret court, and its written judgment is based on it if it is feasible, and it is disputed if it is not feasible, and the minister only knows how to do things according to his duties." As for the imperial history, the minister said, "only know the promise". The Liao people invaded Goryeo, and Zhang Dian said that he wanted to save it, but he couldn't say that he couldn't say that he couldn't save it, but he had to say a word to let him Yelu Yixin be? ”

Xue Xiang brought a gun and a stick, indicating his attitude. But there is no real evidence, how can Zhao Tingzhi come up with it: "Zhou Cheng, a member of the Privy Council, occasionally committed a minor mistake the day before yesterday, Zhang Dian ordered to be whipped hundreds of times, his buttocks were rotten, and the bones were visible. ”

Zhang Dian glared and raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Dian is in the secret courtyard, and he is the head of the West Mansion, can't he even punish the officials?" Zhou Cheng leaked his military opportunity outside, and everyone in the Privy Council knew about it, which can be described as a minor mistake? This generation of treacherous people is used to deceiving officials, and they have not been punished severely, and I don't know what will happen to them in the official affairs of the secret court? ! ”

Qiang Yuanming immediately said to Lu Shang: "Your Highness, Zhang Dian is still unrepentant in the palace, and his wanton prestige in Xifu can be seen!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Dian wanted to refute, Zhao Tingzhi took the first step, "Yushi Danren, how can it be unfounded?" Even though Zhang Dian is clever in this matter, Zhang Kaiguan said that the Fasi and the Zhang family were privately brewing in Jiaozhou, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, even if there is Su Zhang's tongue, it is difficult to get rid of it! ”

Among the more than 10 or 20 counts of impeachment against Zhang, some of them were in collusion with others, which could not be ascertained, and some of them were said to have snared party henchmen, which was also unclear, and there was no distinction between official and private affairs in these respects. Whether it is right or wrong, it all depends on whether the queen accepts it. There are also some small things, which can be regarded as making up the number of words. What can really be verified and shaken to Zhang's position, one is that Zhang Kaiguan said that there is a division, and the other is that the Zhang family brewed privately in Jiaozhou.

Zhao Tingzhi is a straightforward and the only choice. Otherwise, if you continue to quarrel and shout about those little things, and disrupt the situation for Zhang Dan, you will lose.

"Brother Guan said that Dali Temple and Jiaozhou are privately brewing, and it is equally easy to verify. Dali Temple has been verified by the Criminal Court. Jiaozhou belongs to Guangxi, and its own supervision department can be verified. ”

Zhang Dian has a wide range of power in the DPRK, and of course Zhao Tingzhi can't agree to what he wants.

Lu Gongshu bought all the officials of Dali Temple for Chen Shiru's mother murder case, and it was not that there was nothing to do in the end. Again, the key is in the emperor, and now the empress. But with the scale of the Zhang family's production in the Jiaozhou wine farm, it is too appalling, and once it is verified, no one can protect him.

However, the location of the Zhang family's wine field is in the fiefdom of Dongman, Guangxi, and the nominal proprietor has nothing to do with the Zhang family, and it will not be so easy for an outsider to investigate. Moreover, a large part of the profits of the sugarcane plantations in Jiaozhou are provided by molasses winemaking, and the Zhang family only accounts for a large share of it. The imperial court sent someone to investigate, which was tantamount to poking open a hornet's nest, and the result could be imagined.

Although Zhao Tingzhi doesn't know so clearly, it is certain that Zhang Dian and his family will not be able to eat such a large number of private brews. With a little knowledge, you can figure it out, just the raw materials don't know how many people will be involved, and it is impossible for Guangxi's Cao Division and Judgment Division not to know about it, and it is impossible not to receive benefits.

Cui Taifu has served as an official trial and criminal court for many years, and most of the officials in the court are his subordinates. And Zhang Dian led the army to attack Jiaozhi, and the court he invited to do everything and recommended nearly 100 people. After the success, all of them were rewarded and earned, and in the past few years, the party members spread all over the two roads of Quang Nam. If the trial court and the Guangxi Supervision Department are allowed to investigate the two crimes, it is right in their arms! ”

Jiaozhou's private brewing is a local matter, and it is normal to require the local supervisor to come forward to inspect and report. Both the transfer envoy and the torture envoy can come forward. But since Zhao Tingzhi said that Zhang Dian led the army to attack Jiaozhi, the party henchmen spread all over Guangnan and Nan. This is not trusting the local officials, in this case, it is customary to send courtiers to visit the local area, and if you don't trust the foreign ministers, it is okay to send internal servants. As for Dali Temple, you can also send an inner attendant to supervise and review.

Xiang Empress thought about it for a while, and was going to send an attendant to inspect, so that Zhao Tingzhi could not say that Zhang Dian could still deceive the court.

But Zhang Dian was waiting for Zhao Tingzhi's words, and he had now let go, "Since the imperial history said so, then it is better for the imperial history to go." The affairs of Dali Temple can be presided over by the Yushitai. The same can be done in Jiaozhou. There will be no objections. The imperial historian said that the ministers were privately brewing in Jiaozhou, and said that the Guangnan supervisors were all the ministers' henchmen, and if he sent other officials to Guangnan, if he could not let the imperial history get his wish, I am afraid that there would still be disputes. has been going back and forth like this, and I don't know how long it will take to return my innocence. Please ask His Royal Highness to send a royal history south to the state for verification! ”

After just a few words of dialogue, Zhang Dian set a trap and pitted Zhao Tingzhi step by step.

Sympathy flashed on the faces of the courtiers, even though there were more and more wealthy people in Jiaozhou, but in the eyes of most people, it was a miasma after all, except for merchants who wanted money and did not want to die, and officials who were unlucky, who wanted to go there, accidentally gave their lives. Some people even looked at Han Gang, it was too similar.

However, Han Gang's attention was not on the two of them, but on Cai Jing. Just when Zhang Dian said that he wanted Yushi to investigate the case, Cai Jing looked directly over and met Han Gang's gaze.

Zhao Tingzhi's face began to turn pale, and now it is not clear where he has fallen into Zhang Dian's trap. This is to fight to break the net, in case the imperial history sent to verify dies in the local area, then it will be recognized as murder. If he is only impeached and removed from office, he may be able to recover in a few years. But the crime of killing people and killing people has fallen, and this life is over, Zhang Dian dares to gamble like this?

"Jiaozhou miasma, how can Yushi go?" Cai, who has come back to his senses, is indeed squeezing the imperial historians.

Zhang Dian glared at several imperial historians viciously, "Jiaozhou does have miasma. But if you go, Han Xuanhui will go, the officials will go, and tens of thousands of soldiers will go, will the imperial history not be able to go? ! ”

Zhang Dan's questioning, Zhao Tingzhi and Qiang Yuanming didn't dare to talk, maybe the miasma may not be as good as the body, but what if Zhang Duan took a risk.

When they first heard the details of the winter solstice night, they all laughed at the timidity of the two kings, and if the two kings dared to come down and pray for the Son of Heaven, the whole situation would change. But when it came to pass, they were all afraid. It's about their own lives. Even if Zhang Dan was convicted on suspicion of murder and silence, what is the meaning of that to himself who has already died? What's more, with the relationship between Han Gang and Zhang Tun, how could it be

"Your Highness, I am willing to go!"

A voice broke the silence. The courtiers followed the prestige, but it was Cai Jing.

Cai Jing left Zhao Tingzhi and Qiang Yuanming's group, walked two steps forward steadily, and waved to His Palace, "Your Highness, Minister Cai Jing is willing to go!" ”

Not Li Qingchen. Han Gang, who has been observing several suspects, can finally be determined now. Otherwise, it should be Li Qingchen who stands up, even if he can't dare to go south to Jiaozhou like Cai Jing, but at least he can help his subordinates ease their cheeks and maintain the prestige of Yushitai, otherwise, Li Qingchen will no longer have a status in Wutai.

But now it is Cai Jing who stands up. It can be seen that Cai Jing is undoubtedly the one who plays a leading role in the center of the whole thing. It seems that Cai Qu's plan has been noticed by Cai Jing and other imperial historians, so there will be today's scene. Because Zhilu Dao Cai really wanted to abandon him, he planned to take a gamble.

In the attention of the courtiers, Cai Jing said in a solemn and solemn voice: "The imperial court has set up a constitution, so it is important to send the ears and eyes, and the responsibility of strict discipline." Investigating treachery and distinguishing falsehood is the duty of imperial history. As for the miasma, as Zhang Shumi said, since the hundred officials and the three armies went, Cai Jing could also go, how dare he spare his life for the sake of state affairs. ”

Although the result was not so perfect, Zhang Dian also fought for a buffer.

As long as an official leaves Beijing and goes abroad, his fate cannot be in his own hands. The imperial history impeached the important ministers, if you can't chase and fight hard, you have to wait for the opponent's counterattack. When Cai Jing returned, the situation in the court changed greatly, and there was no place for him to show his performance. As long as Cai Jing does not die in the south, Zhang Dian can rest assured.

But Han Gang didn't feel that Cai Jing was forced to come out.

With Cai Jing's fame in later generations, as well as his past performance, he should consider that Zhang Dian would force Yushi to go south to Jiaozhou, which was Han Gang's old skill. Cai Jing also glanced over, but he didn't expect Han Gang to keep staring at him, and after his gaze met, he immediately retracted.

"But outside the south, life and death are unknown. Before the minister left Beijing, there was a chapter that was presented to His Majesty, Your Highness. ”

"What Zhangshu?"

"For the sake of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, you can't reuse the bachelor of the Senior Administration Palace, the envoy of the Xuanhui North Academy, Han Gang!"

Cai Jing has a beautiful demeanor and a loud voice, standing on top of the palace, which is really pleasing to the eye, but what he said shocked almost everyone.

Han Gang turned around and looked at Zhao Tingzhi and Qiang Yuanming sympathetically, "You have all taken advantage of it." ’
