Chapter 199: A Gift of Victory
As soon as Qiu Gong's head came out, the shape in the Wenhua Hall was reversed again, and even Zhu Youzhen, the great son of the Great Tomorrow, was moved, and personally got up from the throne, got off the Danqi and came straight to Yao Zhenglong. I saw that the head placed on the ground of the main hall was already blue and black, and there was a faint smell. Qiu Gong had been in Chongzhen for eight years, and Zhu Youzhen recognized it, looking at the stiff face of the head, he was vaguely the calm and loyal man.
Unexpectedly, meeting again was actually this situation, Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed a few points of crystal, and he took a long breath and reflexively returned to the throne, his face became more and more dark, and he was silent for a long time.
"Say! Go on, how did Commander Qiu martyr! ”
Zhu Youzhen's words were like a thunderbolt in court, which frightened the faint people.
"Long live Hui, it was Li Xin, the chief soldier of the three guards, who colluded with the Tartars, attacked and broke the city at night, took advantage of the chaos to kill the commander of Qiu, and later wanted to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces......"
This time, Yao Zhenglong recounted with emotion how Li Xin colluded with the Mongol Tatars to assassinate Qiu Gong and him in order to seize the power of the Three Guards.
After these words, some people in the Wenhua Hall were happy, some people were sad, Liu Lingyu was among the former, at this moment he was already cold, this Gao Shanwei commander is both a party and a witness, plus the Datong prefect and Shanxi Xingdu Division commander Tongzhi named impeachment chapter corroborate, Li Xin's service is petted, and the crime of assassinating colleagues may not be able to escape.
Liu Yuliang was triumphant, he pulled back a game so easily, his eyes swept over Zhang Sizhi, and he saw that he was bowing his eyebrows at the moment, as if everything in the palace had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this old man was really cunning, pushing others to take the lead, and he hid behind and retreated decisively when he saw that the opportunity was not good, and he really didn't misunderstand him. Li Xin, Li Xin, how? Is the silver of the white flower in vain?
Looking at the great emperor Zhu Youzhen on the throne, his body seemed to be trembling faintly, and the eunuch Wang Chengen stood on the side of the throne, looking at the emperor worriedly. Sensitive courtiers can immediately guess that the emperor's body is indeed sick, but now is not the time to estimate the emperor's body, Gao Pin will murder Gao Pin Bian, this is a scandal that has never been seen since the dynasty, once this matter is exposed, I am afraid that the world will be in an uproar.
What's more, what is even more serious is that this border general who is suspected of murdering the border general is actually the one who overstepped the public opinion and crossed the ranks, who should bear this responsibility. The ministers trembled, not so much the responsibility, but who will carry the black cauldron, Zhu Youzhen is classified as the Son of Heaven, the responsibility is naturally not his, but someone has to carry the black cauldron......
The big guys are privately counting who will carry this black cauldron, and even Liu Lingyu, who is blocking his life, is already dead and ready to resign himself to fate, but Xue Guoguan stepped forward and pointed at Yao Zhenglong and reprimanded:
"With a head, it will be used as evidence to sue the general army of the three grades of the dynasty, and the court has a strict law, how can it be such a child's play?"
Yao Zhenglong was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained: "Li Xin colluded with the Tartars to harm Commander Qiu, so that this matter is true......"
Xue Guoguan didn't wait for him to finish, so he bowed to Zhu Youzhen on the throne.
"Long live, the stakes are serious, and we must not judge based on just one side, and I ask Long Live to instruct Yousi to immediately rush to Datong to investigate this matter thoroughly, and to clear the innocent and punish the guilty!"
What can happen now, Zhu Youzhen nodded and agreed with Xue Guoguan's opinion.
Today's court meeting was full of twists and turns, and the ministers were eye-opening, and this matter was very important, and someone immediately set up a lawsuit to charge the Chengdu Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to jointly investigate Li Xin's case.
This was unanimously agreed by Liu Yuliang and Xue Guoguan, the chief officials of the three divisions are all marginal figures, neither belonging to Liu Yuliang's line, nor to Yang Sichang's line, and have nothing to do with the recent hot emperor Zhang Sizhi.
If these people were to investigate, they would not dare to deceive for the benefit of some people. Soon, the ministers unanimously agreed and asked Zhu Youzhen to decide.
Zhu Youzhen vetoed this proposal.
"Li Xin is just a reckless man, and he doesn't need my ministers to go out, so this matter can be handled by Dongchang and Jinyiwei."
Liu Yuliang was awe-inspiring, the emperor obviously couldn't trust the minister anymore, so he handed over such an important matter to his domestic slave, but even if it was handed over to the eunuch to investigate, this matter was not impossible.
Today's court meeting quickly became a stage for Liu Yuliang and Xue Guoguan to perform, Liu Yuliang jumped up and down is understandable, Xue Guoguan is so enthusiastic is intriguing. However, one thing is certain, he has relieved the siege for the emperor several times, and the emperor will definitely write it down.
Compared with Xue Guoguan's appearance, Liu Yuliang is not beautiful enough, the emperor just pardoned him not long before he jumped out and tossed, is it too stable to be an idle official, and wants to go to Nanjing to retire?
Anyway, after this debate, the shells and gunpowder were loaded, and they waited for the person with the torch to light the fuse......
As the form changed again and again, the ministers changed their casual mentality at the beginning, and began to be cautious in their words and deeds, and no one commented on Li Xin's case in vain, for fear that they would fall into it if they did not pay attention.
Originally, this was just a dirty affair between the border generals fighting for power and profit, but now it has become a bargaining chip for the cabinet ministers to wrestle with the court.
After the initial chaos, Liu Lingyu also reacted, this matter is not over before a thorough investigation, so he will not be implicated immediately, he instantly sorted out his previous speech in the main hall, and felt that the only thing he could be caught as a handle was to bite Li Xin to death in public and behead more than 700 people for the true and credible news.
This matter is not up to him Liu Lingyu to decide, all he can count on is that in the game between several ministers, Liu Yuliang was killed and did not leave a piece of armor. can look at the current situation, only a lonely Xue Guoguan is in front of him, and he can't help but look at Zhang Sizhi with a little complaint. didn't want to meet Zhang Sizhi, Zhang Sizhi shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Liu Lingyu's heart was awe-inspiring, and then there was a chill, at this time, Zhang Ge Lao actually made the calculation of losing the pawn to protect the car, and he didn't plan to stand up and speak at all. Indeed, if it were me, I wouldn't have stood up and said more. It seems that his only way is to fully fall to Xue Guoguan, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and this is an unbreakable iron law.
Just when some people were proud and some people were about to despair, suddenly a eunuch outside the Wenhua Hall sang: "The commander of the Beijing camp, Fang Zhenghua Palace, is here to see you!" ”
What is he here for? The ministers in the palace were all stunned, now is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, no one will move troops at this time, when there is no military to speak of, what is the matter? It must be a great urgency to be able to yell and ask for a meeting in such a hurry.
In the midst of a lot of discussions, Fang Zheng turned into an iron armor and entered the palace and bowed.
"The people and horses of the three guards have arrived outside the city, and the matter is serious, please let me show it!"
Someone unconsciously asked.
"Which Three Guards Commander?"
Fang Zhenghua replied: "Which other three guards can it be, there is only one in the world, naturally it is Li Xin, the general soldier of the three guards of Zhenyu, Yanghe, and Gaoshan who is now sealed by the Holy Shangqin!" ”
The ministers woke up like a dream, but they fell into the fog again. Didn't it say here that Li Xin colluded with the Tartars to harm Commander Qiu, why did he say that he gave a gift to repay the victory?
Liu Lingyu was overjoyed, he was only afraid that the situation was like a stagnant water, since the person concerned, Li Xin, came to disturb the situation himself, he couldn't ask for it, so he asked impatiently:
"What a reward, what a gift?"
Fang Zhenghua said word by word: "Defeated the Mongolian Tartars and inserted the Han Department, and beheaded more than 700 heads below the Tartar Pseudo County King, and all the heads were outside the Beijing Division, offering a gift to Long live!" ”
There was a buzz in the Wenhua Palace, good guy, could it be that what Liu Lingyu said was true? Everyone knows that when Li Xin went, there were only more than 100 horsemen around him, and he was able to behead more than 700 levels of the most capable Han tribe among the Mongolian tribes with weak soldiers, what kind of terrifying organizational combat ability was this? In this way, Yao Zhenglong's shouting of grievances seems a little subtle. Many people have drawn a knot in their hearts, a knot of doubt, a knot that cannot be untied for the time being.
The ministers' eyes were bright, and Fang Zhenghua obviously supported Li Xin, otherwise he could have asked the eunuchs around him to report the matter. In other words, at least half of the people in Dongchang and even the entire celebrant were in favor of Li Xin, and the emperor handed over the matter to them......
Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who had been sitting upright, his calm face seemed to have eased a lot, and the ministers couldn't guess whether he was happy or angry at the moment, and they still didn't dare to speak more.
Liu Yuliang couldn't hold his breath, Li Xin really sent the head of the victory, and it was necessary to identify whether it was true or not. If it was true, he would be completely finished, as for Yao Zhenglong and the head of the Qiu Commander Envoy that he got out of nowhere, compared to the head of Qi Tu and the more than 700 Mongolian Tartars under his command, the weight is not a little lighter. In the eyes of those who have a heart, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yao Zhenglong is afraid of war, and the wicked sue first. Anyway, once it is confirmed, the previous overwhelming advantage will no longer exist, and the water will be completely muddyed......
Zhu Youzhen, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but he was asking Yang Sichang, only five words.
"Yang Qing, what do you think?"
Yang Sichang replied without thinking about it:
"To welcome the team to Beijing, you can find the Mongolian Tatars of the Han Department in Beijing to identify the head of the map, but in fact, it will be rewarded, and the crime will be added to the first class!"
Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Just according to what Yang Qing said!" ”
Fang Zhenghua saluted again and left the Wenhua Palace......
The inspection of the first level will not be completed for a while and a half, and there is no need for the ministers to spend time in the palace and wait, Zhu Youzhen also felt that he had a headache, so he waved his sleeves, and the little eunuch sang sharply:
"Retreat!"
Liu Yuliang looked at the emperor on the throne and his voice trembled, hoping to get a chance to play against the emperor alone. Who knew that the emperor didn't look at him at all, and walked away, leaving the lost Liu Yuliang in the Wenhua Palace......
