Chapter 985: Knighted

There are only two possibilities, one is that Cao Chong and others noticed it in advance, but looking at the expressions of Cao Chong and others, it is obvious that it is not, and the other is that there is further conspiracy.

When the soldiers went to search Liu Xun and Zhou Budo's residence, Huang Yueying suddenly came up with a guess, Xu Jing was desperate and had to fight to the death, could it have been arranged by someone earlier?

If this is the case, then Liu Xun and Zhou Budo's room will definitely be able to find the head of the sheep, and if the other party can even let Cao Chong go first, it must not be Zhou Budo who wants to be framed.

Since Huang Lan was executed, Huang Yueying has been observing Huang Quan, she doesn't think that Huang Quan will take revenge for Huang Lan or anything, but it is also a habitual observation.

Today's Huang Quan did not show any flaws, on the contrary, he was very calm, but it was this calmness that made Huang Yueying suspicious.

Since Huang Lan was killed, Huang Quan has been very worried, but today he is so calm, isn't it strange?

Thinking of the soldiers now going to search Liu Xun's mansion, Huang Yueying suddenly felt that something was wrong. If you find it in Liu Xun's room, it will be a big trouble, and you can't wash it clearly.

The only way is to let the other party show his feet, but who is Huang Quan Xu Jing? Is it so easy to show the horse's feet? Even if you want to show your feet, it's not a matter of rushing time.

Huang Yueying could only put her idea on the contractor.

This package foreman is the strangest thing about Huang Yueying, whether it is in Cao Chong, Liu Xun, Zhou Budo, which room is searched, he can't run away from the charge of bribery, such a serious bribe, he is not afraid of being killed like Huang Lan?

However, the foreman not only enthusiastically admitted that he had been bribed, but also looked at the expression of the foreman, as if he had not found the head of the sheep. Still nervous. I didn't find out that the head of the sheep was falsely accused. Find out that it is bribery, this package foreman prays for a greater sin, is he sick?

When the contractor came, everyone knew about his family, a wealthy businessman, but he was far from rich enough to own an entire Qingshan jade.

And his wealth is still his own generation who got rich by the rise of the Sichuan army, and his ancestors were poor and became rich. Where did the ancestral green mountain jade come from?

Huang Yueying expected that the foreman of this package did not have Qingshan jade at all, at most someone asked him to frame him, and the maintenance of jade is a very complicated science.

It is certain that Xu Jing thought of framing, it was Cao Chong who came out to reduce the title, and it was impossible for the contractor to learn it in such a short time, so he let Huzi use a camphor wood handkerchief.

When the camphor wood cloth encounters Qingshan jade, it will corrupt the jade, and it will lose its luster after a long time. If it is passed down from generation to generation, will you not know?

Now the contractor finally knew what he was wrong with, looked at Huzi and said, "But you also use ......"

"If I don't use it, how can I hide it from you. But you don't see that I'm carrying a piece of paper. Huzi casually took out a piece of paper and shook it in front of the foreman. The foreman was black and fainted.

Huang Yueying smiled and said to the ministers: "Everyone knows that the maintenance of Qingshan jade requires a lot of capital, even if the contractor did not wipe it with a camphor handkerchief just now, his father and ancestors are poor, where did the ancestral Qingshan jade come from."

In fact, generally speaking, the collectors of precious Qingshan jade are some rich and powerful elegant people, I think that several adults in our court have the ability to collect, Lord Xu Jing, do you say yes? ”

Huang Yueying said and suddenly her voice turned cold: "This is obviously not the foreman's thing, but someone took it and hid it in a flower pot to blame Cao Chong and the eldest prince, and said that this foreman is a relative of the former captain of the Great Prince's Guard." Framing the prince, what a big guts. ”

"Xu Jing, what's going on?" Liu Zhang said to Xu Jing in a cold voice.

"I, I ......" Xu Jing scolded the foreman 10,000 times in his heart. turned his head to look at Huang Quan, but Huang Quan didn't look at him, Xu Jing finally knew that he had been used completely.

Originally, I found the head of the sheep, and I felt that although the matter was big, I was nothing, even if I offended the eldest prince, it would be good to repair it later, not to mention that there was Huang Quan, and I could make friends with the second prince, and now I ...... He was completely reduced to an outcast.

"Hand over the contractor, Xu Jing, to Jinyiwei, and be sure to find out the truth of the matter." Liu Zhang ordered in a deep voice, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to escort Xu Jing.

"Liu Xun, Cao Chong, this sheep's head appeared in Xun'er's room for no reason through the pot of ice wisteria, although it proves that it is not the foreman, excluding bribery, but you also need to clear your innocence, and you also cooperate with the investigation."

"Yes."

Liu Xun and Cao Chong were about to leave, and everyone thought that this matter was over, when suddenly a soldier came over: "Your Majesty, I found this book under the pillow of the eldest prince's bed, because it has the signature of Chen Qun, the criminal minister of the Wei State, so the general asked me to present it to the emperor." ”

"Chen Qun." Liu Zhang took a book, and the five big characters on the cover came into view: "Nine products are in the right system." ”

The people around frowned when they saw those five words, including Huang Yueying.

"Xun'er, why do you have this thing in your room?"

Xiao Furong looked at Liu Xun suspiciously, everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, even if Xiao Furong didn't know any political strategy, they also knew that Liu Xun had the influence of this hidden in his room.

Under Liu Zhang's rule, there is no literary prison, anyone can collect a nine-product zhongzheng system, but Liu Xun can't.

The core of the Sichuan Army is the New Deal, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is completely contrary to the Sichuan Army's New Deal.

also hid it under the pillow, so if Liu Zhang handed over the country to Liu Xun in the future, what would Liu Xun do? Isn't the New Deal in jeopardy?

All the ministers looked at Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang only turned a few pages, and there were dense annotations inside, all written by Chen Qun, and looking at the traces of this book, it was obvious that it had been read countless times.

When Chen Qun's Nine Grades were being formed, the Wei State was already dying, who else was there besides Liu Xun?

"Your Majesty." A soldier presented another item, and Liu Zhang took it and looked at it, sighing softly.

Huang Yueying took it and took a look, it was Liu Xun's governance strategy, which was completely contrary to Liu Zhang's philosophy, and it was written by herself, so she couldn't fake it.

Chen Qun's Jiupin Zhongzheng posthumous book, coupled with this gentle governance strategy, everyone looked at Liu Xun.

They don't know what Liu Zhang will do, everyone knows that Liu Zhang values the new policy more than anything else, and no one can question it.

And Liu Zhang's governance has always been aggressive, and Liu Xun's policy strategy has taken the opposite line completely, the two are combined, Liu Xun may be snubbed by Liu Zhang, maybe not, but in any case, may not be able to inherit Liu Zhang's foundation.

No one doubts that Liu Zhang will not pass on the country to such a prince.

"Xun'er, you go to cooperate with the investigation first, and then drive back to the palace."

Liu Zhang took Huang Yueying and left.

Cao Chong was really dignified now: "What a ruthless method, wave after wave." ”

Cao Chong looked at Liu Xun: "The eldest prince, although the results of the investigation have not been found, Cao Chong already knows that there are at least three waves of people who are not good for us, and the first wave is only aimed at me, that is, using ice wisteria to bribe the head of the sheep across the sea and the sky, that Xu Jing and the contractor are obviously like this."

The second and third waves were both against the Great Prince, and Cao Chong didn't know who it was, but the third wave was more clever and ruthless than the second wave.

The second wave of people wants to charge you with taking bribes, which is just to lower your reputation and make you stained, but the third wave of people obviously want to make the emperor completely disappointed in you. ”

Cao Chong said that he didn't know who it was, but this kind of thing, who could not guess who it was, looking at Xu Jing's eyes, he knew that Huang Quan was involved, but he didn't know if it was the second wave or the third wave.

But there is no evidence for this kind of thing, and Huang Quan's identity is not trivial, so he can't say it at all.

……

Fan Lixiang's Jinyiwei established on the basis of the Shenwei Army really has the temperament of Jinyiwei in later generations, no one thought that Jinyiwei's case-handling ability was so strong, but when the torture came out, he thought that Jinyiwei's commander was Fan Lixiang.

Like the foreman of the package, he is rich, and Xu Jing is a scholar, where can he withstand Fan Lixiang's toss.

Fan Lixiang quickly investigated the results, and the contractor had to sacrifice himself to frame Cao Chong because his family was threatened, and Xu Jing ensured his family's prosperity and wealth.

And Xu Jing quickly confessed to his comrades, and there was no need for many people to participate in this matter, but Xu Jing is not a fool, of course this kind of thing is easy to do in a group, he is not a person who takes personal sacrifice as a collective honor.

A large number of them were found at once, and Huang Quan was obviously implicated in them.

And everyone, including Xu Jing's scholar, knew why the head of the sheep was transferred to Liu Xun's room, and it had nothing to do with Huang Quan.

But Huang Quan was much smarter than Xu Jing and others, and he didn't leave any handle, but only the other ministers resisted the crime, and Huang Quan didn't say anything even under the investigation of Jinyiwei.

In view of Huang Quan's identity, Fan Lixiang was not good at extorting confessions by torture, so she had to temporarily suppress it and investigate slowly.

After this incident, Xu Jing and others fell, and the ministers were no longer able to oppose the reduction of titles.

In addition, public opinion is surging, all of them demand the implementation of the decreasing title, and the civil and military forces in the frontier, Wang Yue and Pang Tong also support the reduction of the title, and the reduction of the title is smoothly promulgated.

……

"His Majesty the Emperor's second edict, crowned Wang Yue, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Vulture Bone, so powerful, Pang Tong, Wei Wen...... For the third-class prince, Huang Quan, Gan Ning, Ake, Du Wei, Wang Shuang, Fan Lixiang, Xiao Furong...... For the fourth-class princes, Li Yan, Gao Pei, Liu Bi, Yang Huai, Cai Wei, Wang Lei, Zhou Budo, Cao Chong...... He is a fifth-class prince.

Zhu Liang, Wang Yi, Xi Fengchi, Hu Che'er, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, Zhou Yu, Cao Zhang, Wang Fu...... Duke of the first class, crowned ......"

The eunuch took the long reward document and read it aloud, and it took three eunuchs to finish reading, and the ministers were silent, and no one spoke. But obviously many people are still dissatisfied, including many generals, but they just can't say it.

Liu Zhang watched this scene quietly, and it was obvious that the previous matter was not over, and the most important thing was that there was one more important person in the frontier who supported the decreasing title. (To be continued......)
