"Shen Shi stop first!" Emperor Hongfu couldn't bear it anymore and stopped Shen Shi from continuing to quibble.

The imperial court electors, at least during his reign, attached great importance to the imperial examination, but it was helpless that he had only been in power for more than ten years, and during this period, there were two imperial examinations that could not be held due to national mourning, and the imperial examination of the first emperor inevitably had a situation of dancing, and the selection of scholars was unfair, and it was difficult for him to choose which people had real talent and real learning.

Not to mention that the scholars who have passed the imperial examination and entered the official ranks may also be affected by the corruption of officialdom, gradually deviating from the words of the sages, and only seeking fame, money and power, just like this Shen Shi!

He had also considered promoting Shen Shi to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, how could he have thought that this person would be extremely evil!

If it weren't for the demagoguery and instigation of these chaotic ministers and sinners, how could his descendants only have power in their eyes and have no monarchy, society, or even blood kinship!

It is normal for people to be angry, even if it is the respect of the Ninety-Five.

Emperor Hongfu's attitude really shocked Shen Shi's heart, and he could see the cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xue Hua's confession is not completely credible." Lan Ting said.

Shen Shi couldn't help but raise his head in disbelief, and his shocked look fell on the eyes of Emperor Hongfu and the four ministers, and they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows - what is this Shen Shi still lucky about?

"The emperor and the elders of the pavilion, since they believe that the father-in-law of the family is not as Shen Shangshu questioned, he was first captured and imprisoned overseas for several years before returning to his homeland, but immediately conspired with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers to frame the king of Linzi, then we should also believe the confession of the father-in-law, the father-in-law of the family inquired on Dongyingyi Island and learned that the escort for the Shen, Xu, and Sang families was not Xue Hua but Jinghai Hou Wen Xiao, today Xue Hua was suddenly arrested because of escape, and he confessed that Jiang Kuanfang was an accomplice of the King of Linzi, which was really too much of a coincidence, so the minister thought, The real purpose of committing Xue Hua is to clear the crime for Jinghai Hou. ”

"Zhao Lanting, you are simply reversing right and wrong, and it is just enough to frame this king, you don't even let go of the generals who guard Fujian, and you dare to say that you don't have a barbarian?" The king of Linzi had already stood up from the ground, and pointed at Lan Ting with Yugui is scolding.

"So did the king of Linzi admit that Jiang Kuan and the Shen, Xu, and Sang clans were guilty?" Lan Ting gave King Linzi a straight eye.

"You, you're quibbling!"

"No, I don't

agrees that Jiang Kuan is the mastermind, and the questioning is Xue Hua's confession, so he can't even buy Xue Hua is minister, right? The king of Linzi did not say a word when Xue Hua accused Shen Shangshu and Jiang Commander earlier, but now he suddenly questioned the minister's sophistry, forgiving the minister, who does the king of Linzi think Xue Hua is instigating? ”

The king of Linzi was speechless.

And at this time, Zheng Xiu finally spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the minister begs for the cousin."

Emperor Hongfu's mood at this time became more and more complicated.

Today, it was the prince's repeated suggestions that he summoned Zheng Xiu and King Qin to be present, but he didn't think that even Zheng Xiu had anything to do with this case at all, but after careful consideration, he still agreed to the prince's advice, after all, this country will be handed over to the prince in the future, if the prince can't dispel Zheng Xiu's doubts, he can protect Zheng Xiu for a while now, what about the future? Emperor Hongfu knew better than anyone that his body was already like a candle that was about to run out, and what was left for him was nothing more than that short period of time.

After he dies, who can he protect?

"Lin Ying, you speak." In the end, Emperor Hongfu still admonished.

Xue Hua is a protégé of Shen Shangshu, and he has lived in Fuzhou Shenmen for a long time, so it can be said that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all dependent on Shen Shangshu, so Shen Shangshu's trust in Xue Hua is a matter of course, but Gu Juren is very different." Zheng Xiu looked at Gu Jicang and seemed to smile casually: "If I remember correctly, Gu Juren seemed to have deliberately clarified at first who he would be arrested by when he returned to China, right?" ”

"Indeed it is."

"Then Zheng asked Gu Juren again, are all the inside information you inquired about when you were in Dongying?"

"And that's true."

Zheng Xiu bowed his head and turned to face Lan Ting: "So Zhao Duyu, I thought this was a trick of the Tojo Daimyo." Deliberately let Gu Juren know the so-called hidden secret, of course, it is half true and false, otherwise it is difficult for people to believe that it is true, and then deliberately connived at Gu Juren to escape from Dongying and return to China, and at the same time told Jiang Kuan that Gu Juren had returned to China, so that Jiang Kuan could arrest Gu Juren in time, in this way, if the King of Linzi wins, of course it will be beneficial to the Tojo Daimyo, in case the King of Linzi is defeated, Wen Xiao can also be eradicated as the Linzi King Party, if there is no Jinghaihou in Fujian to guard, wouldn't the Japanese be more assured and bold to plunder the southeast coast? Therefore, the minister's opinion is that although Gu Juren has not made a false confession, he has been subjected to

Used by the Daimyo of Tojo. ”

Gu Jicang frowned, of course he didn't agree with Zheng Xiu's opinion, but it was difficult to make a strong refutation for a while.

Of course, Lan Ting didn't want Lord Yuezhang to fight alone, so he immediately said: "So, according to what Wei Guogong has seen, this incident is completely a conspiracy of the Dongying Daimyo forces?" ”

Over the years, Wen Hou has guarded Fujian, although he has not completely wiped out the Japanese invaders, but he has indeed defeated dozens of Japanese attacks, and protected the coastal residents from more disasters, and Wen Hou will be punished...... The ministers are only afraid that the people of the Fujian Association will be in turmoil, so won't they give the Japanese more opportunities to take advantage of? ”

Zheng Xiu did know a lot about Emperor Hongfu.

He understands that Emperor Hongfu is most concerned about the matter, and it is indeed the livelihood of the people, for such a wolf invades the monarchy from time to time, and it is really nerve-wracking to the tumor, and it is really painful to be able to eradicate such a tumor, thanks to Jinghaihou to guard the coastal defense, the matter of burning, killing and looting has been alleviated, and the stability of one side is the most important thing, especially the military generals who guard the border, but it is not possible to say that it can be changed.

As long as a rationality is proposed, Emperor Hongfu will inevitably favor a safer trade-off, because if Wen Xiao is rashly punished, in case of causing the southeast coast to get out of control, this will inevitably become the biggest failure during the reign of Emperor Hongfu.

It's a pity that Zheng Xiu's opponent today is Lan Ting.

"Wei Guogong is determined, no matter whether Jinghai Hou is guilty or not, the king of Linzi County, Chengguo Gong and Shen Shangshu, etc., must be guilty?"

In Zheng Xiu's eyes, the smile had long since faded, he just looked at Lan Ting, and there was a response in the blink of an eye.

"Yes. Therefore, before the king of Linzi wants to ambush and kill, there will be a widow who deliberately reveals where Gu Juren is, because in the eyes of the Tojo Daimyo, if it is not within our clan, his heart will be punished, and even if the king of Linzi has one day to inherit the unification, he no longer needs his assistance, it is very likely to cut off contact, and even turn against him. Therefore, it is better to take the opportunity to eradicate Jinghaihou, which is a greater benefit to the Japanese invaders. But no matter what the situation, the king of Linzi and many of his followers must be guilty of the crime. ”

As soon as Zheng Xiu's words fell, Lan Ting witnessed that the King of Linzi seemed to be struck by the gold brick ground, barely jumping up half a foot on the spot, and all his anger was transferred to the Duke of Wei.
