Chapter 197: Confrontation in the court
The prince's gaze turned between King Duan and Mu Beichen, King Duan secretly pointed out that there was a problem within the forbidden army, in fact, the spearhead was directly aimed at Mu Beichen, regardless of whether the facts existed, according to his father's suspicions, the forbidden army in the palace of the prince is bound to have a big blood change, as for Mu Beichen, who has 100,000 forbidden troops in his hands, he is not valued by his father as before, and it is too heavy...... It is not for nothing that the prince has been imprisoned!
You must know that the emperors of various dynasties have not experienced several assassinations, because the most taboo thing for the emperor is that the people around him are unreliable and collude with the chaotic parties.
The prince's five fingers slowly clenched into a fist, Duan Wang was removed by his father and the emperor for a short time, and he would definitely not be reused in a short time, if the 100,000 forbidden troops were held in his hands......
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak, when he raised his head to meet Lu Congwen's gaze and shook his head at him.
Mu Beichen smiled coldly: "This king has ordered the forbidden army and the inner guards who are responsible for guarding Fushou Palace to take down, if the second emperor brother is eager to know the result, it is better to interrogate it in person, the old master is difficult to abandon, after all, those people have a deep friendship with the second emperor brother, compared to this king to take over for more than a month, the prestige is insufficient, if the second emperor brother is willing to go, maybe they will miss the second emperor brother's past kindness for a while, and take the initiative to explain it is unknown." ”
"You!" King Duan glared at Mu Beichen fiercely, he didn't hear it, what Mu Beichen meant by the fact that those forbidden army commanders were his subordinates before, and Mu Beichen had no possibility to subdue him in just a few months, maybe he was dissatisfied with the emperor's method of handing over the Praetorian Guards to Mu Beichen, and it was unknown to frame Mu Beichen.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, several people looked at King Duan's eyes a little flickering, and the meaning was unclear.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear, I don't know if the thief who broke into the palace at night is ...... What does it have to do with the cloth at the gates? Sun Qian got Lu Congwen's secret signal and asked out loud.
This asked the voices of many people, to be honest, they were waiting for the court in the Linde Hall early in the morning, but I don't know why the emperor suddenly sent someone to inform them that several important ministers of the court came to the Zhaode Palace, but they were still confused from beginning to end, except that they knew that someone had broken into the palace at night and left a booklet, they didn't know anything else, what could they say.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a sentence that is not unhappy." The rich and hearty voice came from a column of military generals, Yan Zhengdao's hair was half white, his body was hidden, his tiger eyes were like torches, and the momentum of fighting on the battlefield made his whole body full of a strong atmosphere, which was not comparable to ordinary Wenchen.
Yan Xun didn't hold it, and watched his father walk out, reaching out to support his forehead, just hoping that his father could have a little vision, don't say something nonsense at the moment when the emperor is angry.
"The old minister is a rough man, so he said directly, this thief who still mentions what Lao Shizi is, King Duan is anxious to put the blame on King Jing and wait for the matter to be clarified, the old minister sees, the key is not the booklet and cloth flags, but the Ye family was slaughtered and asked the Zheng family about the crime, whether it created an unjust case."
"If this matter is not understood, there will be as many booklets and banners as there are, one will be hung today, and one will be thrown away tomorrow, and there will be no names written on it, so that all the people in the capital will be arrested and tortured."
"I don't know if the Ye family has descendants and old ministers, but the blood book is hung at the south city gate, and no one can be bored to write and play, why doesn't the emperor look through the old cases between the Ye family and the Zheng family, so as to inform the world, show the benevolence of the saints, and reassure the people."
Yan Xun stroked his aching forehead, his father is really ...... What I was afraid of, I said it in a few words, and offended a large number of people, including the one who was on the highest.
Duan Wang Yin Owl's eyes glared at Yan Zhengdao fiercely, he didn't expect this old man to tell his scheming in front of the ministers and his father, although this is known to everyone, but it is really different in broad daylight.
The emperor's face is getting darker and darker, gloomy and dripping water, if you want to say who can't speak the most in this court, it should be Yan Zhengdao, what is the booklet and cloth flags, that means that the city gate and the palace are allowed to let some people come and go, and the Zheng family's entire family was imprisoned by the emperor himself, and now it is taken out and said to be an unjust case, and it is also announced to the world, so that the emperor's face remains, this is not to tell the world that he made a mistake and killed the wrong person?
The emperor stared at the booklet on the ground, and the two rays of light turned into fire, eager to burn it to ashes, but he knew that it was useless to burn only this booklet, as Yan Zhengdao said, this is just a copy of the booklet, and the person who sent the booklet must have more in his hands.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department bowed down: "Your Majesty, the evidence and material evidence of the Ye family's case are conclusive, the minister does not dare to deceive at all, all the confessions and physical evidence are still stored in the Criminal Department, and after the trial was completed at that time, His Majesty personally approved it, how could it be wrong, the minister was wronged!" ”
This is for other ministers, he tried the case correctly, but it is the emperor who is guilty, and whoever uses this case to talk about things must consider the emperor's face.
Sure enough, when the other ministers heard this, they all kept silent, did they dare to accuse the emperor? Of course not!
"What Lord Ling said is reasonable, and the minister also thinks that someone is taking advantage of the Ye family to cause trouble, the purpose is to cause riots, disturb the hearts of the people in the city, and undermine the stability of the Zhao. Wang Ze also stood up.
"Foreigners, hmph, Lord Wang, a scholar of the military department, is more likely to make a fuss than the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and the old minister asked, even if the foreigners mixed in, how did they know about the Ye family?"
"If you have a heart, you can naturally find out."
"The Xishan Hunting Ground is heavily guarded, they will not be able to fly away, otherwise how to transfer more than 100 people from the Ye family inside, Lao Chen asked again, how much manpower is needed to move more than 100 corpses, how much effort does it take to carry them, how much distance is there from the Ye family's mausoleum to the Xishan Hunting Ground, even if the foreign clan lurks in the city, they can still make a big fanfare, and they are not afraid of others finding out?"
"This ......" Wang Ze's face twitched, his face was a little ugly, "General Yan decided that the Ye and Zheng families were unjust, so how did General Yan know about it, could it be that he knew something?" ”
"Lord Wang, please be careful!" Yan Xun said: "Father didn't mean that. ”
The Yan family has heavy troops, and they are already deeply feared by the emperor, and if this hat of collusion with thieves is pressed down, the Yan family will be in trouble.
Chu Wangzhi frowned, thought about it for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, is it not something in the booklet...... When the bodies of more than 100 members of the Ye family were found in the Xishan hunting ground two days ago, the minister remembered that the letter said that the evidence would be presented to the saint, could it be ......?"
After being reminded by Chu Wangzhi, everyone obviously remembered the scene at that time, and suddenly remembered the three-day appointment between Rong Ruo and the emperor, and they were speculating in their hearts, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"Just look at it." Yan Zhengdao boasted two steps and walked to Zheng Zhi's side.
Yan Xun and Chu Wangzhi glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Both of them understand that the reason why this booklet has not been mentioned, in fact, regardless of whether it has anything to do with the Ye family or not, the emperor is even more angry that someone actually dared to break into the palace at night, not to mention the fact that it offended the royal dignity, and also made the emperor afraid.
"This ......" Yan Zhengdao quickly flipped through the book, and after reading it, his face changed greatly, and he turned around and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the facts of the Ye family have an inside story, and the old minister petitioned for the descendants of the Ye family, and the emperor made a clear decision." ”
"Clear?" The emperor sneered: "It's a threat to me, I'm really getting bolder!" ”
The Son of Heaven was furious, and all the ministers knelt down together: "Your Majesty is angry." ”
Mu Beichen walked over, took the booklet from Yan Zhengdao's hand, flipped it and handed it to the prince, the prince frowned after reading it, and asked the chamberlain to hand it over to King Duan to read, so that everyone in the hall read it, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Ling Zhucang."
"The minister is here."
"What do you have to say?"
"Minister......" Ling Zhucang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, touched his forehead with the sleeve of his official robe, his face was flustered, and he was sincerely afraid: "The minister doesn't know." ”
"You tried the case, and you let you arrest the person, and now you don't know what to tell me?" The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his right hand, raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Bastard! What about your confession and physical evidence, didn't you just assert that there was not a trace of problem in the trial of this case, and now tell me, what is going on above, is there such a thing as a Xiangshan vein? ! ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... It's the minister's negligence, and the minister must check it carefully when he goes back...... The matter of the ore vein, but this alone does not mean that ...... "The Zheng family did not murder the Ye family."
The second half of the sentence Ling Zhu swallowed stiffly, the Criminal Department has tried countless cases in a year, and he quickly arrested people after the Ye family's affairs came out, plus the evidence was conclusive, the case was broken in two days, of course, now that I think about it, there are inevitably some people who are fueling the troubles, but what is the use of saying these things now, Ling Zhucang can only bite the nail on the wrong case, otherwise he is dereliction of duty!
"Lord Ling, you don't have to go back if you want to ask about the case, if one of the parties to the vein is not on the spot, why bother to go far." Chu Wangzhi is gentle and elegant, he still does not lose that indifferent elegance when he is middle-aged, and his voice is also a harmonious whisper exclusive to literati, he rolled his eyes, and there was a light smile on the corner of his mouth, which was a harmless middle-aged Confucian scholar.
But the people who were looked at him didn't think so, Wang Ze's whole body trembled, only feeling that Chu Wangzhi's eyes were like poisonous snakes, and when he looked at him, his whole body was cold, goosebumps rose all over his body, half of his strength was also drained, the soles of his feet were soft, and he knelt on the ground.
"The emperor is shengming, the minister was bought from the Ye family in black and white, and the minister and the minister have a deed!"
