"Empress Dowager, Wen Yuanbo and Xinke Jinshi Fang Liang beat the drums, and they want to go to the temple to face the saint's grievances, and there are important matters to play." In the whispers of the ministers of the Taihe Palace, the guard who had gone to inquire about the news hurriedly came, knelt down on one knee in front of the palace and prayed to the Empress Dowager Zhang, "Wen Yuanbo and Fang Liang have been taken outside the noon gate, please make it clear to the Empress Dowager." ”

"Wen Yuanbo and Fang Liang?" Hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback, Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang were the main culprits in the rebellion case, and now they are not locked up in the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, how can they run out and beat the drum to voice their grievances?

King Yue's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but look at Wei Xin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was standing in front of the main hall, could it be that Wei Xin released Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang? It is not appropriate for these two men to appear here now, and it is clear that their grievances are related to the king of Yue.

Wei Xin's face was stunned, he didn't know how Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang were released from the edict prison of Beizhen Fusi, and the eyeliner he left in the edict prison did not report to him.

The unexpected appearance of Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang made the civil and military officials in the hall feel extremely surprised, just imagine, who has such a big courage to dare to privately release the imperial court, and let the two of them beat the drums and rumors on such an important day today, it is simply bold.

Empress Dowager Zhang was also confused by this incident, she never imagined that Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang would come out of the edict to sue the emperor, and couldn't help but look at King Yue suspiciously, seeing King Yue's gloomy face, she was even more puzzled in her heart: It seems that King Yue doesn't know the details of this matter, who did it.

"The Queen Mother, Wen Yuanbo and Fang Liang are the main culprits in the rebellion case, these two actually escaped from prison and intended to disturb the court, please ask the Queen Mother to order them to be taken down and punished." Taking advantage of the Empress Dowager Zhang's stunned moment, King Yue bowed down and said in a deep voice.

"The Queen Mother, the Beizhen Fusi Edict Prison is heavily guarded, Wen Yuanbo and Fang Liangneng must be assisted by the same party when they escape from it, please take it down for interrogation immediately and find out the same party." Wang Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, realized the situation and said that Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang are now trapped beasts, and once the two of them are allowed to go to the palace, they will definitely "retract their confessions", which will cause the consequences of Yan Zòng.

"Queen Mother, the rebellion case involving Wen Yuanbo has made the situation in the capital turbulent, and the people are panicked, and the minister feels that this is an opportunity to appease the people, and the Jiuqing will be tried above the main hall, and right and wrong can be immediately distinguished in black and white!" As soon as Wang Jie's words fell, Zhou Zheng said loudly, he naturally knew how Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang left Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Prison.

"Queen Mother, according to the ancestral system set by Taizu, the Son of Heaven will personally interrogate when the drums are sounded, please send a decree to bring Wen Yuanbo and Fang Liang to the court, and ask what is going on." Yang Rong glanced at Zhou Zheng and then opened his mouth to make his position clear to Empress Dowager Zhang, in his opinion, Zhou Zheng is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and acts steadily, and now he takes the initiative to contradict King Yue on the matter of Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang, so there must be a hidden secret, so he immediately agreed with Zhou Zheng.

"Come on, pass on Uncle Wen and Fang Liang to the palace." Hearing that Yang Rong moved out of the ancestral system set by Ming Taizu, Empress Dowager Zhang no longer hesitated, and without waiting for the civil and military officials on the scene to open their mouths and give a deep order, she wanted to see what Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang's intentions were.

When King Yue heard this, his face couldn't help but change a few times, and for some reason his heart was inexplicably flustered, and he turned to look at Fan Yong, the Marquis of Wuzhong, who was standing among the nobles behind him, and glanced at him.

Seeing this, Fan Yong immediately understood King Yue's intentions, and then left the noble queue on the pretext of relieving himself from the latrine, and walked out of the Taihe Hall quickly.

Li Yuntian noticed Fan Yong leaving, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer, it seemed that King Yue had begun to mess up and wanted to use force to solve the problem.

"The criminal minister Chen Tianlei knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince is a thousand years old."

"The criminal minister Fang Liang knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

Soon after Fan Yong returned from outside the palace, Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang were brought into the Taihe Hall by several guards, and the two of them were dressed in white prison uniforms, knelt down in front of the hall under the gaze of everyone at the scene, and saluted the prince sitting on the dragon chair.

"Uncle Wen Yuan, the mourning family asked you, you are not in the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, who released you?" After the two of them finished bowing to the prince, Empress Dowager Zhang shouted with a stern expression.

"Empress Dowager, the criminal persuaded the jailer in the edict prison, so that he used the strategy of stealing beams and changing pillars to release the criminal minister and Fang Jinshi from the prison, and was escorted by a thousand households from the Beizhen Fusi to the Dengwen drum to beat the Dengwen drum." Chen Tianlei raised his head when he heard this, and explained to the Empress Dowager Zhang in a deep voice that the thousand households in Beizhen Fusi in his mouth were Liang Sheng.

"The Queen Mother, the ministers are not strict, please punish the Queen Mother." Hearing this, Jin Yiwei commanded Wei Xin to hurriedly walk out of the queue and bow to the Empress Dowager Zhang to ask for guilt, with a look of annoyance on his face.

He had already guessed that it must have something to do with Liang Sheng and others, otherwise it would be impossible for Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang to escape from the edict prison, and he couldn't help but regret handing over the edict to Liang Sheng, the military attachés of the Beizhen Fu Division, God knows that they were so bold that they dared to let the imperial court prisoners privately.

"Uncle Wen Yuan, since you have already confessed your guilt, why do you want to beat the drum and voice your grievances, what are your intentions?" At this time, King Yue stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Tianlei, and shouted in a loud voice, "The evidence of your case is conclusive, do you still want to overturn the case!" ”

"Queen Mother, the minister has evidence that the minister was wronged." Chen Tianlei's eyes suddenly burst into two flames of anger when he heard this, and he glared at King Yue with great anger, and then kowtowed heavily to Empress Dowager Zhang

As he spoke, Chen Tianlei began to untie his clothes widely, and quickly took off his shirt, only to see that his upper body was densely covered with scars, including whiplashes and burns, which looked a little terrifying.

There was a commotion in the main hall, and the civil and military officials pointed to the injuries on Chen Tianlei's upper body and whispered, those injuries were obviously new injuries, and Chen Tianlei's meaning was also obvious, he was beaten into a trick.

King Yue's brows furrowed, his fists couldn't help but clench, he felt that he was really careless, he didn't even look down on Chen Tianlei and Fang Liang to make the two jump out and make trouble at such a critical moment.

"The queen mother, the minister was tortured, in order to save the family had to bear the responsibility, the minister originally just thought that he was caught in the officialdom of the struggle for power, but unexpectedly the king of Yue deceived the minister, and even said that the minister secretly colluded with the prince of the Han Dynasty to rebel."

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Chen Tianlei knelt down to the Empress Dowager Zhang again, and then touched the ground and said loudly with a sad and angry expression.

"Bold Chen Tianlei, your collusion with the prince of the Han Dynasty has been conclusively incriminated, how can you deny it." After listening to Chen Tianlei's words, Yang Tianen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, suddenly opened his mouth to scold, and then said to the Empress Dowager Zhang seriously, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the courtiers tried the case of Wen Yuanbo's collusion with the prince of Han to rebel, although the evidence of the crime was conclusive, but Wen Yuanbo refused to admit his guilt in order to escape responsibility, so he was punished with a big sentence. ”

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, Yang Tianen had not spoken before this, he originally thought that Yang Tianen was a centrist, but now it seems that Yang Tianen has decided to take refuge in King Yue, or he has already taken refuge in King Yue, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to exonerate King Yue.

"The Queen Mother, the minister thinks that Lord Yang is reasonable, and dares to ask who in the edict prison has not been punished? Some of those who tried to get through the border had to be severely punished. Subsequently, the right deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, Cheng Yong Hou Hu Dahai spoke without losing time.

After listening to Yang Tianen and Hu Sihai's defenses, many officials in the hall secretly nodded and thought that what the two said was reasonable, after all, no one would honestly confess to the crime before committing a major crime.

"Queen Mother, the criminal minister is one of the culprits in this case, and he knows the ins and outs of this case very well, and the criminal minister not only led the framing of Zhen Guogong, but also participated in the assassination of Yiguo Gong, which is really an unforgivable crime."

Seeing that the civil and military officials at the scene were confused by the sophistry of Yang Tianen and Hu Sihai, Fang Liang, who was kneeling beside Chen Tianlei, suddenly spoke, and said loudly to the Empress Dowager Zhang with a gloomy expression, "Originally, Ah Qiu promised to keep the family of the criminal minister, but he never expected that he would concoct this rebellion for personal revenge, and delusionally wanted to take revenge on King Guò Yue!" ”

"A-hate?" Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, it was the first time she heard this name, and the civil and military officials in the hall also showed suspicious expressions on their faces, except for Fang Liang and Yue Xiang, even Wang Jie and Fan Yong, who followed the King of Han, and others didn't know about Ah Qiu.

"Empress Dowager, Ah Qiu is a high-ranking official of the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan, originally my Ming person, and later took refuge in the Northern Yuan." Fang Liang knew that everyone didn't know about this matter, so he explained in a deep voice, "According to the criminal ministers, the reason why Emperor Daxing fell for the trick of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was because Ah Qiu planned it, and after the Ming army of Liaodong led by Zhenguo Gong entered the customs, he was vigorously wanted for this person. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang was taken aback, and never imagined that Ah Qiu would have such a background.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder the name is so familiar!"

"I heard that the reason why the fall of the Fallen Horse Pass back then has a lot to do with this person."

"This Ah Qiu is the confidant of the leader of Warat, and he has won the trust of Tuhuan."

"He still dares to come to the capital? I don't know how many soldiers and people of our Ming Dynasty died in his hands! ”

"Could it be that this person has something to do with what happened in the capital recently?"

……

There was a commotion in the main hall, and the civil and military officials at the scene still remembered the fact that two years ago, the two troops of the Northern Yuan Tatar and Warat combined forces went south and almost conquered the capital.

"It's ridiculous, how can the prince of Yue Gui be the prince of the Ming Dynasty and interact with the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" After being stunned for a moment, Wang Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately opened his mouth and angrily reprimanded Fang Liangdao, "You don't want to talk nonsense here and deceive people's hearts!" ”

"The Queen Mother, the guilty minister is not a fool, Ah Qiu is now in the Taihe Palace, as long as the Queen Mother allows the guilty minister, he will find out." Fang Liang ignored Wang Jie's accusation, but kowtowed to Empress Dowager Zhang and said loudly.

"Is there such a thing?" Boom, the Taihe Hall suddenly exploded, and all the ministers looked around to find out Ah Qiu.

King Yue never imagined that Fang Liang would say such an astonishing remark, his eyes suddenly showed a panicked look, at this moment his attention was focused on Fang Liang, and he didn't notice that Li Yuntian in the corner of the main hall was secretly watching him, and a subtle smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
