Chapter 276: Digging Holes for Each Other
In the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone turned their eyes to Wu Xukuan, Wu Xukuan stood upright, looking directly at the empress, the current situation has developed to this point, Wu Xukuan has lost the etiquette and respect for the empress in many cases.
Only a few big gifts, he had to do it!
For example, the bow of worship during the court.
The empress and Wu Xukuan looked at each other, the hall was silent, the empress looked calm, and she muttered for a while before she spoke: "Elder Wu Ge, what do you want to play?" ”
"Weichen wants to impeach Zhenfu Si Jinyiwei! Impeach the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Yuan Shengshi! Wu Xukuan stared at the empress, "Regarding the case of Yang Deyong, the saint has made a holy judgment, although Yang Deyong has dereliction of duty, but there is no crime of corruption and perversion of the law, the facts are clear, Yang Deyong deserves to be imprisoned, but the saint reads Yang Deyong is an old minister, who has worked hard for the court for decades, and he is old...... The saint issued a decree to dismiss Yang Deyong! This is the end of the case! ”
"But just last night, Jinyiwei broke into Yang Deyong's mansion at night and arrested him again in the inner prison of the Zhenfu Division. Jinyi Wei has no saint, violates the will of the saint, is bold, wanton, framed, and tells right and wrong, the government and the opposition are all complaining, and the saint and Weichen think that the yamen of the town and the Fu Division should be abolished, and the Jinyi guard should be disbanded, and the commander of the Jinyi guard Yuan Shengshi should be dismissed immediately, beheaded and shown to the public, in order to set an example! ”
……
Zhou An listened in the side hall.
He found out that Wu Xukuan's attitude towards the empress was really different, when he was doing things in the court before, he first let other people jump out and dig a pit for the empress, even if he jumped out directly, it was justified, he made a long speech, and then forced the empress!
But now, those steps are gone!
He just jumped out directly and told the empress that Zhenfu Si was guilty, Jinyiwei was guilty, and Yuan Shengshi was guilty.
Then tell the empress what to do!
Wu Xukuan is also tougher than before, since Kang Longji couldn't come to the court with the empress, he has behaved more and more unscrupulous!
Moreover, Zhou An knows.
Wu Xukuan never thought that he could directly let the empress abdicate from the court.
There is no such possibility!
As long as the public opinion of the government and the opposition thinks that the empress is not good, then Wu Xukuan can get more practical support, and even the support of literati.
Especially some corrupt Confucians who have long been famous, they have always had a strong opinion on women as emperors.
Even scolded the Empress of Shendu in the court back then, if it weren't for the Empress of Shendu doing a good job and being ruthless enough, something would have happened back then. And now, the Empress Shenzhao does not have the ability of the Empress of the Divine Capital, and even if she has the ability, she will not be able to use it.
Natural disasters are not her problem.
Wu Xukuan has been pulling her hind legs.
……
"Elder Wu Ge, about ......," the empress spoke.
"Holy!" Wu Xukuan didn't wait for the empress to speak to Jinyiwei, and directly interrupted: "Can Weichen dare to ask, Jinyiwei will arrest Yang Deyong again, but it's your will?" ”
Straightforward enough!
Wu Xukuan first said that the crime of Jinyiwei was unforgivable, and then directly asked the empress if she had instructed it.
If the empress admits it! It's not just Yang Deyong's business that admits it, but all the "evil deeds" of Jinyiwei are instructed to her, there is no doubt that as long as she admits it, the gossip will definitely spread like this!
But if the empress doesn't recognize it.
Jin Yiwei acted without authorization, but was persuaded by Wu Xukuan to be right! Yang Deyong was released before, but the empress ordered in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and the empress let go of the people, Jinyiwei dared to arrest them back, this is a crime...... The whole town can "copy and behead"!
Of course, the empress can be explained!
But she had to admit it again!
Because just last night, when Yuan Shengshi led people to arrest Yang Deyong again, he announced an edict to Yang Deyong and passed on the holy edict...... Yes, when Yuan Shengshi did things, he used the name of the empress!
So the empress can't deny it at all!
Otherwise, the false transmission of the holy decree is enough to punish the nine clans!
Wu Xukuan didn't say a few words from the time he opened his mouth to the present, but he forced the empress into a dilemma.
In fact, if this kind of thing happened in other periods, it would not have happened, and what courtier dared to question the emperor in public? Dare to dig a pit for the emperor? After saying that, the emperor still didn't dare to touch him?
Only Wu Xukuan can, Wu Xukuan dares!
He's too strong!
However...... What he didn't know was that the reason why Yuan Shengshi openly claimed last night that the empress would send an edict to arrest Yang Deyong again was to instruct Zhou An!
The Empress knows!
Zhou An asked Yuan Shengshi to do this!
Deliberately handed over the handle to Wu Xukuan!
He belongs to digging a pit opposite Wu Xukuan to see who digs deep!
……
"Jinyiwei handled the case last night, and I asked them to do it." The empress spoke, and she confessed.
"Holy Chrysostom, how can it be so repeated?" Wu Xukuan immediately asked.
"I received a secret report that Yang Deyong was corrupt and perverted the law, and the evidence is conclusive." The empress said very calmly, and gestured to her side again, "Grandpa Zhang......"
Gonggong Zhang immediately took out a stack of paper from his cuffs and presented it to the empress with both hands.
"This is Yang Deyong's crime, Yang Deyong has confessed last night that he has done all these years to bend the law and form a party for personal gain, and he has explained how he transferred the stolen goods......"
After the empress finished speaking, she threw out the "guilt".
Not to Wu Xukuan, but to Li Guangshan!
The empress is also a warrior, and as soon as she threw it away, the stack of paper flew down the steps, and Li Guangshan stepped forward to catch it.
Everyone looked at Li Guangshan.
Many people in the Manchu Dynasty showed a different color on their faces, and some people in Wu Xukuan showed a look of unease, Yang Deyong recruited? !
Only Wu Xukuan was still expressionless.
Li Guangshan read the "guilt", in fact, these are just Yang Deyong's confession records, which can also be said to be confessions, not only Li Guangshan is reading, but also some civil and military ministers standing behind Li Guangshan also leaned over to read it.
Those who can get to Li Guangshan's side are naturally people from the empress's side.
"What a guts!"
"A million taels?"
"Damn it!"
The people around Li Guangshan whispered one by one.
After Li Guangshan finished reading it, he looked at Wu Xukuan, and threw away all the stacks of accusations with his hand!
Wu Xukuan caught it and unfolded it.
The ministers of civil and military affairs behind him also leaned over to look at it together, and many ministers' faces were even more wrong, because they knew that what Yang Deyong confessed was true! For example, Yang Deyong shared how much money he shared in a certain disaster relief fund, and many people know about this.
Wu Xukuan was calm.
Look at it page by page.
Finally, on the third page, he saw a paragraph with waves in his eyes, in which Yang Deyong confessed that in order to help his uncle build a cemetery, he moved 30,000 taels of silver from the household department, and through connections, forcibly occupied a large piece of land in his hometown of Luobu County, Jiangzhou.
Yang Deyong also explained that the reason why he helped his uncle build a cemetery was because his uncle helped him when he was a young student.
There's something wrong with this content!
Wu Xukuan knows!
There is no such thing at all!
Wu Xukuan even knew that Yang Deyong deliberately confessed like this!
Because this is what Wu Xukuan ordered!
All the core members of the traitorous group have been explained by Wu Xukuan, because Wu Xukuan knows that before he fights the empress, any cronies around him have the possibility of being arrested.
If you are caught, you will be tortured to extract a confession.
Although Wu Xukuan believes in their loyalty, what if he can't bear it?
Then move!
Wu Xukuan let them recruit! But it has to be a half-truth! Fake must be difficult to verify! So...... As long as the confession is taken out, Wu Xukuan can be said to be beaten into a trick!
It's all fake!
Because some of them are fake, it's too easy to be considered a trick!
This can be regarded as Wu Xukuan's plan.
And Yang Deyong is acting according to the plan!
