Chapter 145: Substitute Judgment
"The grass people have something important to play!"
Zhuge Yuanba suddenly spoke, making the atmosphere that had just been quiet and smooth suddenly tense.
Han Mobei was angry, and at this time, he heard Zhuge Yuanba messing around, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to give an order to expel this person from the palace!" He is a cloth cloth, with no official title and no fame, how can he participate in national affairs, or even directly face the saints? Who gave him the right? Where is this behavior often placed? If you have a problem, go to Ying Tianfu, this is not the place for you to go crazy! ”
"That's right, Weichen seconded it!" Another civilian official stood up and reprimanded.
This time they seized the opportunity, thinking that they could rectify Zhuge Yuanba well.
Emperor Xia looked at Zhuge Yuanba and said, "Zhuge Yuanba, you have been demoted by me, and now you are white, you can't be criticized above the Golden Palace." I consider that you have been loyal to the country, so I will not punish you this time. ”
Zhuge Yuanba said: "Your Majesty, what the grass people want to report is related to Your Majesty, I went to find the Ying Tianfu Ya, and they didn't dare to accept it!" ”
"Oh? Something to do with me? Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Since it has something to do with me, let's hear about it!" A few Aiqing are calm and don't be impatient, see what he can say! ”
"Yes!" Several officials who jumped out responded in unison.
Zhuge Yuanba looked at Han Mobei, who was walking back to the queue, and suddenly stopped him: "Lord Han, you are slow!" What I want to report has something to do with Lord Han, so it's better for you to stand here and listen to it. ”
Han Mobei was stunned for a moment, looked up at Emperor Xia, and saw him nodding in acquiescence, so he stood aside to see what tricks Zhuge Yuanba played.
Subsequently, Zhuge Yuanba took out a confession from his sleeve and began to say: "Your Majesty, the grass people were trusted by Your Majesty and became the commander of the Iron Dragoon, and then they were assigned by the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army to go to Qiannan Mansion to inspect the Xinkang camp, where there was a gap with Xiao Congshan, and he was killed by mistake, so he was condemned by His Majesty!" After considering that Xiao Congshan's crime was extremely heinous, His Majesty was tolerant, but he only stripped the grass people of the position and title of commander, and was demoted to a commoner, and did not suffer from prison! ”
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That's right, this is a case that I personally tried, and my dignified four-rank commander was derelict in his duty and manslaughter, so naturally it can't be tolerated, what is the reason for you to mention this matter now?"
Zhuge Yuanba looked at Han Mobei and found that his face was calm, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Load it up and see how long you can fit it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Yuanba picked up his confession and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have been tracking down these days, and found that there were many suspicious points when the grass people accidentally killed Xiao Congshan, and after several investigations, it was found that Xiao Congshan was provoked by someone and deliberately targeted the grass people, after the grass people punched him, although Xiao Congshan was seriously injured, but he did not hurt his life, but later he was secretly poisoned by the people who provoked him, and he killed his life. Now, that person has been controlled by the grass people, this is his confession, please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces were in an uproar.
The fifth prince Xiao Yuan's face changed greatly, and Han Mobei's face also became gloomy.
They had already sent someone to Qiannan Mansion to get rid of the secret hand, but unfortunately the secret hand knew that it would be wiped out, so he took the money and fled, but he didn't expect to be caught by Zhuge Yuanba!
Trouble!
And at this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the Golden Palace: "Chen Xiao Conghu, please see Your Majesty!" ”
Xiao Conghu is the king of Ruyang!
As the former generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he is now just hanging on to his position, so he rarely participates in the early dynasty, and is leisurely an idle prince, but he didn't expect to enter the palace today to ask for a meeting.
Emperor Xia shouted: "Xuan! ”
Hai Dafu immediately sang: "King Xuan Ruyang!" ”
When the words fell, King Ruyang, who was dressed in a python dragon suit, slowly walked into the main hall, his momentum was deeper as a prison, and all the civil and military officials were photographed, and he was more respectful. This master is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even the emperor dares to scare him.
Walking to the center of the hall, King Ruyang and Zhuge Yuanba stood together, hugged their fists and said: "The minister begs to see Your Majesty, and I implore Your Majesty to be the master of the minister's tragic death!" He deserves it, he's punished by the law, and he has nothing to say! But if you are killed, you will not obey! ”
"Since Zhuge Yuanba can come up with evidence, he must ask His Majesty to investigate thoroughly."
Emperor Xia nodded, and Hai Dafu immediately went down, took the confession, and presented it to him.
"King Ruyang, don't worry, I will definitely find out!" Xia Huang Road.
At this moment, Han Mobei suddenly proposed: "Your Majesty, since it is an unjust case, it is better for the three divisions to try it, why discuss it in the Golden Palace?" ”
"Get out!" Who knows, King Ruyang glanced at Han Mobei with his tilted head and suddenly shouted.
Han Mobei's face was like sauce in an instant, but he opened his mouth and didn't dare to refute.
Emperor Xia didn't hear the conversation between the two.
After reading the confession, Emperor Xia was furious: "How can this be reasonable! actually designed to murder Viscount Xiao Congshan and frame the commander of the four products, where is this person being held now? Does he have a command behind the scenes? ”
Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "Your Majesty, this person is imprisoned in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, as for the person behind the scenes..."
He deliberately paused, and Ye Xiu, the top military attache on the right, finally opened his closed eyes, slowly stepped out, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the prisoner was imprisoned by the minister, and last night the minister interrogated this person, and this person finally opened his mouth and confided the truth, and the truth... It is everything that Yuan Xiao, the governor of the Chinese army, instructed behind the scenes! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister can prove that it was Yuan Xiao who sent Zhuge Yuanba to Qiannan Mansion! It was he who suggested it and the minister approved it. Now it seems that this person has a vicious heart and a heinous crime, and he has set up a vicious plan, step by step, to frame Zhuge Yuanba! The minister is guilty, first, he was negligent, and he actually let such a black sheep hide in the governor's mansion, and secondly, he used people poorly, and let sinister people like Yuan Xiao hold important positions. Third, the employment of people is unknown, Zhuge Yuanba is loyal, Yuan Xiao is treacherous and insidious, and he can't distinguish between right and wrong. Wechen is guilty! ”
Ye Xiu stood up, and all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.
It's going to be something, it's going to be something.
Zhuge Yuanba, King Ruyang, now even Lord Ye Xiuye has stood up!
This force is about to tear open the roof of the Golden Palace.
Han Mobei's forehead began to sweat, Xiao Yuan's legs began to tremble, Yuan Xiao was actually caught, didn't he say that he had no worries? There can be such a big mistake.
Emperor Xia had already stood up when he heard the sound, and his face was angry: "How can this be reasonable!" The dignified governor of the government actually did this kind of thing, it is really a cancer among the hundred officials, where is this person now? ”
Ye Xiu continued: "Back to Your Majesty, in order to prevent Yuan Xiao from escaping or being killed by the instigators behind him, Weichen controlled him in advance, and without the power of interrogation, he tried this person at night, and asked Your Majesty to punish Weichen!" ”
Emperor Xia said: "For the sake of the merits you will make up, you are not guilty." What clues did the interrogation come from? ”
Ye Xiu shouted: "Yuan Xiao has a hard mouth, and he would rather die than obey." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuan and Han Mobei breathed a sigh of relief.
"But under the coercion and temptation of Weichen, Yuan Xiao finally spat half an hour before the start of the early dynasty!" Ye Xiu continued.
In an instant, Xiao Yuan and Han Mobei were relieved and raised their throats again, they were really afraid, they didn't expect that the plan was so perfect, and they all collapsed, especially the three heavyweights who attacked at the same time.
Emperor Xia looked at the eyes of everyone in the hall, and the civil and military officials did not dare to breathe.
"Since he spit out, is he the real murderer, or is there someone behind the scenes?" Emperor Xia asked.
Ye Xiu hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Xiao dares to frame the Iron Dragoon Commander and the brother of the King of Ruyang, they have no grievances in the long days and no enemies in the near future, if there is no behind-the-scenes instructions, he Yuan Xiao naturally does not dare to do this!" Your Majesty, the behind-the-scenes commander is in a high position, and Weichen doesn't dare to say it! ”
"Say!" Emperor Xia said angrily: "I dare to ignore the laws of the court to frame Zhongliang and disregard people's lives, I will never tolerate it!" ”
Ye Xiu said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Xiao confessed and instructed him to be Han Mobei!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar, so the officials talked about it, which was unimaginable.
The dignified Governor of the Left Army, the second rank of the Governor's Office, actually instructed the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army to frame Zhongliang, which sounds incredible at first glance.
Everyone looked at Han Mobei, Han Mobei slowly closed his eyes, he was silent on the surface, and panicked like an old dog in his heart.
The acting skills of politics made him calm down, and then he knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged, wronged!" Weichen has never known Yuan Xiao, and has never crossed paths with him, this is his slander, this is his wrong, and even this is the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes, please let Your Majesty know it!"
Xiao Yuan, the fifth prince, also hurriedly knelt down and explained for him: "Father, this is definitely a frame-up, a big frame-up!" Lord Han is dedicated to the country and conscientious, how can he frame Zhuge Yuanba? There's no reason for that! Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”
At this time, the king of Ruyang actually spoke.
King Ruyang shouted, "Who said there is no reason? His Majesty had intended to integrate the forbidden army and select a major governor of the forbidden army, and Ye Qiu, the son of Zhuge Yuanba and Lord Ye Xiu, was the best candidate. His Majesty has consulted with his ministers several times about this matter! Han Mobei is suspicious and scheming, he covets the position of the Governor of the Forbidden Army, and designs to deal with Zhuge Yuanba, Lord Ye Xiu and the ministers, so that we can have a gap with each other, causing the position of the Metropolitan Governor to fall into his family! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed dramatically.
What does it mean to meddle in the integration of the forbidden army and covet the position of the governor? This is to place people around Emperor Xia, so what do you want to do?
Emperor Xia looked at Han Mobei coldly, and there was no angry reprimand, but this expression made Han Mobei feel frightened, terrified, because he knew that Emperor Xia was really angry.
The civil and military officials are all in danger, they don't dare to breathe, looking at Han Mobei who is kneeling, as if it will be their turn at any time!
Several princes also silenced their voices, because they were afraid that they would be like Xiao Yuan, so embarrassed.
At this moment of silence, Hao Yun came out of the ranks.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to play!" Hao Yun said.
Zuodu Yushi Du is going crazy, what happened this morning is too turbulent, why did you jump out and participate again, don't harm the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it's almost unpopular. I'm your chief, but I'm the heart of a wet nurse.
Xia Huang said coldly: "Yo, what do you want to play?" Go ahead! ”
Hao Yun took out the stack of evidence from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen received a secret letter that Han Mobei colluded with the third division of Dongchang to take charge of the high father-in-law, this is evidence, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it thoroughly!" ”
When Han Mobei heard this, he sat down completely on the ground.
The civil and military ministers swallowed their saliva, dumbfounded, the impact this morning was too great, and they couldn't turn the corner!
But it is very confirmed that Han Mobei is finished.
Hai Dafu was also frightened, and quickly knelt down.
Emperor Xia looked at Hao Yun and asked, "Secret letter?" ”
"Yes, it's a secret letter!" Hao Yun faced it calmly.
Emperor Xia was not suspicious, this person was known as a mad dog, and giving him this secret letter was indeed the most suitable person.
"Bring it on!" Emperor Xia shouted.
Hai Dafu hurriedly went down to take the evidence, presented it to Queen Xia, and knelt honestly.
After Emperor Xia browsed, he threw the evidence to Hai Dafu and shouted, "Let's see for yourself." ”
After speaking, his gaze moved to Han Mobei and Xiao Yuan.
"King Ming, can you get involved?" Who knows, Emperor Xia suddenly asked Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost urinated.
It may not be a big crime to frame Zhuge Yuanba, and he can still maneuver with his relationship. But participating in the integration of the forbidden army and colluding with Dongchang, this violated the emperor's weakness and backlash, and he was just about to choose the crown prince, so he thought about the throne?
"The retainers don't know, the retainers don't know." Xiao Yuan kept kowtowing, at this moment, he trembled, and he didn't know what to do in fear, only knowing that he would rather die than admit it.
Emperor Xia looked at Han Mobei and asked, "Han Mobei, the words of King Ruyang, the words of Hao Yun, the words of Ye Xiu, and the words of Zhuge Yuanba, do you have anything to say?" ”
Han Mobei opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but when he saw Emperor Xia's cold gaze, he suddenly realized that if he still insisted on not admitting it, then the Han family and the fifth prince Xiao Yuan would be harmed next!
No, it's a no-no!
Therefore, he slowly kowtowed and said, "The sin deserves death, please forgive your majesty!" ”
Emperor Xia laughed angrily: "Good, good, good!" You're so bold! He is worthy of being my good courtier! Where is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”
The three directors hurriedly came out of the ranks.
"Headed by the East Factory, the three divisions cooperated, and thoroughly investigated! No toleration! Who dares to cover up, there is no forgiveness for killing! Emperor Xia sent out a solemn killing intent.
The three divisional chiefs tightened their hearts and immediately received the order.
Hai Dafu, the palm print eunuch of the East Factory, also hurriedly kowtowed to receive the order.
As soon as Emperor Xia waved his hand, when the forbidden army outside the palace entered the palace and was about to drag Han Mobei away, who knew that Ye Xiu had something to say.
was so frightened that the civil and military officials who had just put their hearts at ease thumped again.
You can't fucking finish it all at once!
No matter how old you are, you're scared!
"Your Majesty, Weichen has the champion Hou urgent military report here!" The scheming Ye Xiu took out the last sharp weapon, a sharp weapon that could not only hurt Han Mobei, but also deal with the Han family.
"Oh, what military newspaper?" Emperor Xia asked.
Ye Xiu said: "Fifteen generals above the fourth grade, including the champion Hou Shen Han Mobei, withheld military salaries, accepted bribes, formed parties for personal gain, disregarded people's lives, framed Zhongliang, disobeyed the Holy Ming, and attempted to rebel!" ”
"Whew..."
Before Ye Xiu's words were finished, he could hear the sound of heavy breathing left in the Golden Palace, like the sound of pulling bellows, like a big mountain, pressing on everyone's chest.
Han Mobei prostrate on the ground, kept kowtowing with his head, and begged: "Wechen is guilty, what Wechen did has nothing to do with the Han family, please Your Majesty be clear!" ”
Xiao Yuan on the side was also like ashes, and his head was blank there.
Emperor Xia smiled angrily: "Today is really a good day, everything is crowded together." Since the champion Hou sent an urgent military report, it is naturally impossible to frame Zhongliang, since this is the case, Dongchang and the third division will check carefully, Ye Xiu, you are the governor of the Chinese army, and the secretary of the military department, you are also involved in the joint investigation! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Ye Xiu and Huo Xingye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, responded in unison.
In this way, Han Mobei was dragged away by the forbidden army, like a dead dog, crying bitterly.
