This Ji Gang's method of rectifying people is really not simple, no wonder he won the appreciation of Ming Chengzu, Ming Chengzu needs to suppress someone, Ji Gang can collect all the evidence, regardless of the source and credibility of the evidence, at least on the surface, people are speechless, relying on the evidence collected by Ji Gang, Ming Chengzu can justifiably kill a group of dissidents and consolidate the power he usurped.

It is precisely because of Ming Chengzu's trust that it is more difficult to overturn the case identified by Ming Chengzu based on the evidence collected by Ji Gang.

However, despite the fact that it was a case approved by the emperor, Yang Qiuchi still decided that he must find a way to re-investigate the case. Putting aside his year-old friendship with Miao Wang Yun Tianqing and Yun Lu's grace to save his life, on the matter, Yun was also wronged because of himself, if he couldn't keep him, then he really responded to Ji Gang's words, and it would also make his subordinates feel cold. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi decided to re-investigate the case even if he insisted on it.

Yang Qiuchi was about to speak, but Ming Chengzu spoke first, and his words were very cold: "Yang Aiqing, why did you instigate Princess Yunlu to lead troops to surround Beizhen Fusi and attempt to hijack the Imperial Prison?" Do you still have a royal law in your eyes? ”

This sentence is very serious, if it was changed to before, Ming Chengzu would have been furious and ordered Yang Qiuchi to be taken down and punished. Now he can ask like this, it is that there is already a matter of Ji Gang framing Yang Qiuchi before, although Ming Chengzu still trusts Ji Gang very much, but when it comes to Yang Qiuchi, he has more or less doubts in his heart, and Ming Chengzu has always hoped that Yang Qiuchi can grow into a force to balance Ji Gang's power. Therefore, as a last resort, he didn't want to ruin Yang Qiuchi's important chess piece.

Yunlu hurriedly said, "No! Father, it wasn't the Hou Ye who instigated me to go, and we didn't plan to hijack the edict! We just went to Ji Gang and asked him why he wanted to arrest my brother. But he refused to come out to see me......"

Ming Chengzu waved his hand: "Lu'er, don't talk yet, my father knows that your surname is kind, you must be provoked!" Turning his head, his eyes were blazing, staring at Yang Qiuchi.

Since the emperor didn't let her speak, Yun Lu naturally didn't dare to say anything more, but just hugged his brother tightly, for fear that Ji Gang's brocade guards would arrest Yun Xuan.

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said: "Weichen has always taken the maintenance of the royal law as his own responsibility, and handled cases impartially, how dare he know the law and break the law." Weichen dared to ask, I don't know where the emperor's statement just now came from? ”

"Ji Aiqing said, you led the escort team to rush into the Beizhen Fusi, shouting that you want to turn the edict upside down, and many of Ji Aiqing's subordinates heard it. Is there such a thing? ”

Yang Qiuchi regretted it very much, he said this impulsively at that time, and was caught by Ji Gang on a sore foot, what should I do? After thinking about what Liu Ruobing said, he immediately had an idea to deal with the villain by means of a villain.

Yang Qiuchi said indignantly: "This ...... This is simply made out of nothing! Wechen definitely never said this! ”

Ji Gang pointed at Yang Qiuchi: "You...... You ......" He didn't expect that Yang Qiuchi, who had always followed the rules, would also deny it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong with me?" Yang Qiuchi sneered and stared at Ji Gang: "Which ear did you hear me say that I was going to turn the edict upside down?" ”

"I ...... I heard it in both ears, and so many of my men! Ji Gang blushed and shouted.

"You're spewing blood! I didn't say that! My men don't hear it with so many ears! Besides, I'm also a deputy commander, and I'm going to prison, which is also within my purview, how can I talk about hijacking? If the edict is robbed, I, as the deputy commander, will also be guilty of the crime, and if others want to rob the prison, I will only stop it, so how can I hijack it myself? This is all your Ji Gang's bloody mouth! If you don't frame Lao Tzu for a day, won't you feel comfortable? Yang Qiuchi jumped to his feet and shouted and scolded, looking extremely aggrieved.

The reason why Yang Qiuchi dared to deny it was because at that time in the Yamen Hall of Fusi in Beizhen, only Ji Gang's people and his own people were one-on-one testimony, and there were no other unrelated witnesses present, so as long as he refused to admit it to death, and insisted that it was Ji Gang who framed him, it would be difficult to determine, besides, Ji Gang had framed Yang Qiuchi before, the so-called "truth is also false when it is true", the lies said earlier were caught, and the truth told later will also make people doubtful.

Sure enough, Ming Chengzu looked at Ji Gang suspiciously, Ji Gang was even more aggrieved, his face was flushed with anger, and he roared: "The surname is Yang...... You...... You're fucking ......"

Gonggong Li said coldly: "Master Ji! In front of the emperor, you must not be rude! ”

Ji Gang was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and didn't dare to say anything more.

Yang Qiuchi stared at Ji Gang angrily, as if he had been greatly wronged.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

After a while, Ming Chengzu stared at Yang Qiuchi and said, "Yang Aiqing, what's going on?" ”

"That's right, Your Majesty." Yang Qiuchi listened to Ming Chengzu let him speak, and his heart was wide, "Wechen was ordered by the Holy Order to take charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, and it is within the scope of Wechen's duties to picket Jinyiwei Law and Discipline, even if Yun Su illegally kills and injures people's lives, it should also be investigated and dealt with by Wei Chen, but Ji Gang actually overstepped his authority to arrest people without authorization and tortured Yun Suo." Only then did Wei Chen go to Beizhen to Fusi to be an important person according to his authority. ”

Ming Chengzu nodded slightly, with a displeased expression, turned his head to Ji Gang and said: "Ji Aiqing, in the future, don't interfere in the matter of Jinyi Wei Law and Discipline, let Yang Aiqing take care of it." This is the duty of his Nanzhen Fusi. ”

When Ming Chengzu let Yang Qiuchi take charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, he was considering the checks and balances on Ji Gang, and now Ji Gang is acting beyond his authority, if Ming Chengzu does not express his stance to stop it, it will go against the original intention and fail to achieve the purpose of checks and balances.

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed and glanced at Ji Gang proudly. Ming Chengzu's words were equivalent to a slap in the face to him Ji Gang, Ji Gang's old face suddenly turned red, and he bowed down and said, "Yes, Weichen knows ......"

The second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, said: "Father, this Yang Qiuchi is favoritism, abuse of power, and let him be in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, it is very inappropriate, besides, this Yun Xuan is his subordinate, and he will review it, it is inevitable that he will take advantage of his shortcomings." ”

Ming Chengzu shook his head and said: "This is not right, Yang Aiqing, as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, really wants to say it, except for the commander Ji, all the Jinyi Guards are also his subordinates, if you can't picket because you are a subordinate, then who do you ask him to check?" Whoever is the deputy commander in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division will encounter this problem! So it's not his fault. ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to collide with Ming Chengzu, so he could only babble.

Ming Chengzu glanced back at Zhu Gaoxu, thought about it again, and said: "Gaoxu, the problem you just mentioned reminded me that it is indeed inappropriate to use Jinyiwei to supervise Jinyiwei...... "I pondered for a while, and said: "This matter will have to be solved in the future." ”

The Ming Dynasty paid special attention to the supervision and balance between the power organs, and the supervision system of the Ming Dynasty was the most perfect compared with the previous dynasties. For example, in the supervision of the six departments, there are not only the sub-district supervision of the 13 supervision envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also the counterpart supervision of the six departments in the six departments.

As for Jin Yiwei, due to the needs of political struggle, at the beginning, Ming Chengzu did not arrange a special supervision organ for reading, and only set up a Nanzhen Fu Division within Jin Yiwei to supervise, and now that the work of eliminating dissidents has basically come to an end, Ming Chengzu found that Jin Yiwei's own supervision of himself, this drawback is obvious.

It is precisely because of this consideration that after Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Yanjing, a new secret agency "Dongchang" was created, and the original purpose of this agency was to be used as the supervision agency of Jinyiwei. It's just that later the power was constantly surpassed, until it overtook the Jinyi Guard.

Ming Chengzu motioned for Yang Qiuchi to continue.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Weichen went to Beizhen Fusi to dignitaries, Ji Gang wantonly made things difficult, but he didn't give it, Weichen was about to enter the palace to find the emperor to solve this matter, and at this time Princess Yunlu heard the news and came." ”

The second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, said: "If my imperial sister is not provoked, she will definitely not bring troops to surround Beizhen Fusi, and the person who provokes this is you!" ”

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said, "The prince is not convinced. ”

"Not convinced? If you don't accept it, you can't ......! Zhu Gaoxu roared.

Ming Chengzu stared at Zhu Gaoxu, a little unhappy in his heart, such unreasonable words are not like what a person should say.

Zhu Gaoxu saw Ming Chengzu's displeasure, and hurriedly shut up, somewhat regretting it in his heart.

Ming Chengzu said to Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Aiqing, why are you dissatisfied?" Let's hear it. ”

Ming Chengzu used his actions to tell Zhu Gaoxu that the king of the world, to establish prestige, violent suppression is important, but when necessary, it can also be convincing, if the courtiers are not convinced, or blindly suppress the courtiers, but it is not a way for a Ming monarch to govern the country.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "If there is anyone who provoked Princess Yunlu to hijack the edict, it is not Wei Chen, but Ji Gang. ”

Ji Gang was furious and shouted: "When did this official provoke the princess, you must have evidence for what you said!" ”

"Absolutely!" Yang Qiuchi said coldly, "Let me ask you, in Beizhen Fusi, your guards are surrounded by embroidered spring knives in their hands, why are you so angry?" ”

"That's because you claim to be turning the edict upside down, so you want to take it down!"

"Oh? I have already said it just now, I didn't say that, and besides, it is also within my duty that I, the deputy commander, want to go to prison, so why do I want to rob the prison? If this is considered a prison robbery, and you, the commander of the envoy, enter my Nanzhen Fusi, can it be regarded as attacking the Jinyi Guard Yamen and attempting to riot? ”

Ji Gang was speechless for a while: "This ...... How can this be compared! ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "Okay, even according to the lies you made, because I want to rob the prison, you send guards to surround us and take me down." Let me ask you, why are you just bluffing and shouting that the price of murder is sky-high, but you have not seen you come up and do it? ”

Ji Gang was a little flustered and didn't know how to answer.

He didn't expect Yang Qiuchi to see the problem so accurately, in the past, he framed people, and when the evidence was taken out, the emperor looked at it and killed him. Why did everything go wrong when I got here in Yang Qiuchi? If it was said that the prince saved Yang Qiuchi last time, but not this time, how can you say that this time the framing seems to be showing signs of going to the hall again!

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "You can't answer, I'll help you answer, you deliberately let your guards shout, shouting and killing shook the sky, as if there was chaos in the yamen, in fact, it was your own people who were shouting and screaming there." Your purpose is very simple, that is, you want to bring Yunlu's 500 iron horsemen into the yamen, so that she can be framed for attempting to rob the prison. That's why I said, if anyone really provokes Princess Yunlu, that person is you! ”

"You talk nonsense! You...... You're spewing blood! Ji Gang was in a panic and anxious, so he took Yang Qiuchi's previous words and used them again.

"Is it that we will find out as soon as we investigate," Yang Qiuchi turned to Ming Chengzu and said: "Weichen is in charge of Jinyi Wei's law and discipline picketing, and suspects that Ji Gang instructed his guards to deliberately create chaos, bewitch and attempt to frame Princess Yunlu. Wechen asked the emperor for approval to let Wechen file a case to find out about the matter. ”

Ji Gang panicked, he did instruct his subordinates to do this, if this really needs to be investigated, he knows that those subordinates are not all in line with him Ji Gang, and there may be defections, and they will even confess without even being tortured. That's not just a one-size-fits-all approach.

Ji Gang hurriedly glanced at the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, hoping that he could send rescue soldiers to save him.

Zhu Gaoxu coughed and said to Ming Chengzu: "Father, let's investigate the Yunxuan murder case first, this is the key." ”

Ming Chengzu glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Okay, anyway, Lu'er didn't rush into the yamen with his troops, and the edict is also good, so I won't mention this matter in the future." He turned his head to Yang Qiuchi and said: "Even if Ji Aiqing overstepped his authority to arrest people, Yun Suo's case should be tried by you, but the evidence found now shows that Yun Suan did kill someone, this is not Ji Aiqing's frame, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Ji Gang suddenly became happy, and squinted at Yang Qiuchi proudly.

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many loopholes in this case that have not yet been clarified, and Yun Xuan cannot be hastily punished heavily." ”

Ming Chengzu frowned, snorted, and said with some displeasure: "What's the loophole in this case?" ”

This case was personally reviewed and approved by Ming Chengzu, and of course he was not happy to hear Yang Qiuchi pick on him.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Although there are many eyewitnesses who have proved that Yun Su killed that person, Ji Gang only extracted evidence that was unfavorable to Yun Xuan, and there were many witness testimonies that were not extracted, and these testimonies were beneficial to Yun Xuan. ”

"What evidence?" Ming Chengzu wondered.

"According to Weichen's understanding, Yun Su's personal guards and Jinyi Wei pickets only saw Yun Suo being surrounded and beaten by unknown people, and did not see Yun Suo killing."

Ji Gang said coldly on the side: "His own personal soldiers, of course, are facing him, can what they say count?" ”

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "It turns out that you also know that the testimony of your own soldiers cannot be counted, so why did you use the testimony of your own soldiers just now to prove that I said what I said to turn the edict upside down?" ”

Ji Gang was a little embarrassed: "The emperor asked you to say that Yun was stunned to kill this case, what are you going to do otherwise?" ”

"Okay, let's talk about this case, you neither extracted the testimony of eyewitnesses who were in favor of Yun Xuan, nor did you ask the person to do an autopsy to fill in the autopsy, and there is no clear evidence to prove how the victim died."

Ji Gang sneered: "So many people saw him kill someone, what are you doing with the corpse?" Besides, you should investigate ordinary cases in Tianfu Mansion, maybe you need to fill in that thing, but we don't care about that set. ”

"Then what evidence do you need to investigate the case?"

"Hmph, as long as the criminal confesses, the case can be concluded......" As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered that Yun Xuan did not admit his guilt, which was not in line with Jinyiwei's previous rules.

It's not that Ji Gang ignored this trick, after he arrested Yun Stunned back, he immediately began to torture to extract a confession, but he didn't expect Yang Qiuchi and them to act quickly and make a fuss, and Yun Stunned's bones were relatively hard, and he couldn't pry his mouth open for a while, so he couldn't extract Yun Stunned's confession.

Yang Qiuchi laughed: "Ji Gang, you also found that Yun Xuan did not admit his guilt?" Haha, you seem to be shooting yourself in the foot today, how about it? Does it hurt? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor? Hahaha! ”

Ji Gang snorted heavily, but he couldn't speak.

Yun Lu had been listening to them from the sidelines, she didn't understand the trial of the case, and she didn't understand the evidence, but seeing that Yang Qiuchi was in a relaxed mood, and Ji Gang looked a little depressed with a gloomy face, guessing that Yang Qiuchi had the upper hand, she was very happy at the moment.

Yang Qiuchi turned to Ming Chengzu and said: "Your Majesty, in the case of Yun Su's murder, the testimony of witnesses who were in favor of Yun Su's was not extracted, this loophole is one; The cause of death is unknown due to the failure to fill in the corpse grid, this loophole 2; Criminals always shout injustice, this loophole three. Who is the so-called scoop who attacked Yun Stunned, and why is he fighting, it has not yet been clarified, this loophole four; It is not known who the victim's surname is, and this loophole is five. Any of these five loopholes are enough to show that this case is suspicious, and Yun Su cannot be punished heavily. What's more, Yun Su is the son of King Miao, if there is no convincing evidence, it may be difficult to convince the public, and it will be difficult to convince King Miao. ”

Ming Chengzu nodded, he actually didn't know what the evidence of the criminal verdict needed to be really sufficient, in a nutshell, Ming Chengzu was also a layman in trying the case, and it was more by feeling.

After listening to Ji Gang and Zhu Gaoxu's words and reading the testimony of so many so-called eyewitnesses, Ming Chengzu trusted the two of them, so he had a preconceived idea that this case could be decided, even if King Miao could have an explanation. That's why it was decided to impose a heavy sentence on Yun Xuan. Now after listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, I feel that this case is still quite flawed, and it cannot be hastily decided.

Now that he has found the clue, Ming Chengzu acted decisively, and immediately said: "Okay, since this is the case, Yang Aiqing, I will allow you to re-investigate this case, and after finding out, give me an explanation." ”

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "Weichen commands!" ”
