Chapter 622: The Faint Monarch and the Minister

Faced with everyone's proposal, Gu Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will announce it to the world." ”

Finally this day has come, after all, he still has to announce the death of the imperial brother.

As for what kind of pressure he will endure in the future, he is also ready.

After speaking, Gu Xun looked at Wen Ling, "If this is the case, the people will definitely talk about it." ”

Wen Ling pursed his lips, "It's the emperor, not only for the brutality of killing, but also for the Jin Kingdom, upright, and what the people say." ”

Everyone listened like this, except for Gu Xun, everyone else also felt the same way.

With the current situation, we really shouldn't care too much about the opinions of the people, as long as we do the right thing, every decision we make is for the benefit of the country and the people, so why are the people dissatisfied?

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a guard at the door came with a message, "Kang Yi has recruited!" ”

The crowd rose one after another.

The guard repeated, "Kang Yi recruited, saying that Prime Minister Du and Zhang Tianshi were colluding together to assassinate the first emperor!" ”

In the torture room, there are many ways to ask people to survive but not to die.

"I'll go and see." Gu Xun immediately got up, subconsciously wanting to find a mask, but remembered that the mask had been damaged.

Looking up at Wen Ling, "You have to come with me." ”

Wen Ling nodded.

Gu Xun didn't wear a mask anymore, but went directly to the dungeon with his true face.

Kang Yi, who was dying after being tortured, was covered in blood in the dungeon before he was poured a bowl of ginseng soup and embarrassed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kang Yi raised his head, looked at the person who came, a trace of dark light flashed in his gloomy eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Second Highness is really a good plan, and he actually used such a skill to hide from the world. ”

The jailer directly submitted Kang Yi's testimony.

In fact, the testimony was written early in the morning, but Du Zhong has already run away, and now he is not worried about startling the snake, Kang Yi resisted when he was caught, Kang Yi has a body of martial arts, although it is not very good, but it is a little stronger than ordinary men, just because of this, torture is enough, not to mention that there are eunuchs assassinated today.

"Kang Yi, what is your identity!" Gu Xun looked at Kang Yi coldly.

"So far, even if the slave says it, is there still life?" Kang Yi gasped, whether he said it or not, it was a dead word.

"If you don't say it, this death wouldn't be so simple." Rong Bing, who came over, looked at the confession and said sternly, "I know that Zhang Ji was arranged by Du Zhong to assassinate the first emperor, but he concealed it, he is the accomplice, if he doesn't say it, he will ask for life and death." ”

Thinking of the criminal law of the Criminal Department, Kang Yi's pupils shrank for a while.

Seeing Kang Yi's reaction, Gu Xun was also very satisfied.

Gritted his teeth, "I also recruited the matter, that's it, Zhang Ji obeyed Du Zhong's instructions, used the first emperor's feelings for succession, and deceived the first emperor with the theory of ghost and god reincarnation, in order not to let the first emperor suspect, and in the court with a lie to Zhang Ji, the two of them made a play, the first emperor would not suspect, plus Du Zhong cooperated, Zhang Ji predicted, the first emperor would believe it. ”

Speaking of which, it was just Zhang Ji pretending to give examples of a few things that had not yet happened, and Du Zhong secretly sent people to cooperate, so that the former emperor with hopes was convinced of the theory of reincarnation.

Wen Ling listened quietly on the side, Gu Xun closed his eyes, "The imperial brother was also killed by Du Zhong." ”

“…… Be! Du Zhong secretly recruited several blood generals with Eli, and according to the original plan, he assassinated His Highness and framed the crime on the Second Highness, thus making the Second Highness lose the hearts of the people...... Ahem......" Kang Yi said in a hoarse voice.

Wen Ling listened, but felt strange, "Kang Yi, then, what role does he play in it, and why do you collude with Du Zhong?" ”

Kang Yi's gaze fell on Wen Ling instead, and smiled, "Because he is a eunuch, the sin slave has suffered a lot of ridicule, although the first emperor promised the sin slave to allow the eunuch to practice martial arts, but the eunuch is a eunuch, ridiculed, looked down upon, is a yin and yang person who is neither male nor female......" Saying, Kang Yi's eyes showed some cruelty, "I just want them to see, eunuchs, can also control their life and death, eunuchs can also be above 10,000 people, Du Zhong promised me, when he takes power, he will agree to open the East Factory, and the eunuchs will be included in the official position instead of the slave position." ”

Kang Yi opened his mouth heavily, and this reason sounded reasonable.

When Kang Yi spoke, his eyes flickered slightly.

Wen Ling frowned, could it be just because of Quan.

If it was because of power, it would be possible for Kang Yi to find Du Zhong, but why did Du Zhong look up to Kang Yi again? According to what General Huo said, it was Du Zhong who spoke for Kang Yi back then, and the first emperor allowed Kang Yi to enter the palace, and this is just the relationship between Du Zhong and Kang Yi?

After thinking about it, Wen Ling suddenly remembered something, and before he could ask, he saw a look in his eyes, "I haven't told me yet, what is my identity, and what is my relationship with Du Zhong!" And Du Zhong, why does he have such a mountain order in his hand? ”

Kang Yi moved his lips, obviously not wanting to say much.

The criminal officer on the side said, "Weichen suddenly remembered that there is still a criminal law in Wei State. It is to coat the wounds below the person's neck with sweets such as honey, and then put the person's body in a box full of insects and ants, so that the insects and ants will eat the flesh of the person without dying, or they may lay eggs on the person's body, and the eggs will melt quickly in the summer, so that the person can watch the flesh of his body be eaten gradually inch by in......"

The criminal officer described the terrifying picture in the most loyal voice.

Even Wen Ling frowned when he heard it, but Kang Yi couldn't even breathe.

"I ...... I said......"

Kang Yi is indeed not a hard bone.

Compared with a clean one, this kind of criminal law is too cruel, it is better to give him a simple one.

"Du Zhong's original name is Wei Zhongyun, and I am a eunuch who was driven out of the Wei Palace!" As soon as Kang Yi said this, Wen Ling felt that the news was a little more true.

Not bad as she guessed.

Kang Yi claimed to be a eunuch who cut himself outside the palace, it must not be the palace of the Jin State, at that time the Jin State was not long after the founding of the country, before that, although the first emperor was a vassal king, he could not live in the palace, let alone a eunuch, and this place was used as a palace, more than 40 years ago, it was the half-abandoned prince palace of Emperor Wei Huan, and he would not consider what to recruit healthy eunuchs. If Kang Yi was not a eunuch who cut himself outside the Wei Palace, but a eunuch who was driven out of the Wei Palace, then it would have passed.

According to what Kang Yi said, everyone knew that it was the former Empress Wei who tried every means to trip up other princes in order to make her son, that is, Emperor Wei Xian, sit firmly on the throne. And Du Zhong was originally the prince born after the untouchables were pregnant and entered the palace, and there was no power behind his mother's family, so he was later framed and driven out of the palace.

So Du Zhong was not for the throne at the beginning, he just wanted to take revenge and get back what belonged to him, so he assumed the pseudonym Du Zhong, incognito, met the first emperor, and then wandered with him, at first he wanted to borrow the name of the first emperor to make his own reputation, but the emperor was far away, and he took the opportunity to be tired, and he died one after another, and he also changed his appearance, how to recognize him again with the mediocrity of Emperor Wei Xian.

Du Zhong's Rushan Ling does have a group of followers, and over the years, these followers have not only taken it as their responsibility to support Emperor Zheng, but now they are privately recruiting people with the belief of recovering the Wei State. Originally, he wanted to split the Wei territory, take advantage of the turmoil in the situation, take advantage of the opportunity to gather momentum, take advantage of the lack of ability of Emperor Wei Xian, and the four countries were weakened due to the long-term civil war, he just took the opportunity to rise up, find an opportunity to return to Wei, and sit on the throne of God in a bright and bright way. But who knew that there had been no chance for so many years, the five countries were deadlocked, and Du Zhong had a chance, but the first emperor trusted Du Zhong on the surface, but he secretly had doubts over the years, and secretly sent people to monitor Du Zhong, but the first emperor never said it to others.

Over the years, Du Zhong has secretly opened up the passage connecting the Prime Minister's Mansion to the outside of the city, but in fact, the passage has already been prepared.

But who would have thought that the eldest prince would borrow troops to unify the five countries, and also secretly develop Gu people, because of the existence of Gu people, Du Zhong had to change his plan, and things were repeatedly delayed for another three years, and now it is just a good opportunity.

After Kang Yi finished speaking, everyone already understood.

Wen Ling stared at Kang Yi and pursed his lips, "I still didn't say, what does it have to do with Du Zhong?" But a eunuch, Du Zhong has such a big plan, why do you cooperate? ”

Kang Yi smiled, "I'...... There is a brother who is also a eunuch...... On an errand in the Wei Palace, his name was Shoukang ......"

Of course, Wen Ling didn't know about the things in the Wei Palace, but Gu Xun's face sank, "Shoukang, it's actually my brother." ”

"Know?" Wen Ling looked at Gu Xun with surprise in his eyes.

Gu Xun nodded, "Shou Kang is the eunuch that Emperor Wei Xian trusts the most, and the state of Wei is a traitor, and the faint monarch trusts the eunuch." Although Shou Kang has no power, he is very good at coaxing people, Emperor Wei Xian is a mediocre person, he likes Shou Kang like this, and he is very easy to be bewitched. When the elder brother broke Wei, he lured the eunuch with profit, and the eunuch was very clear, knowing that the general trend of Wei had gone, so he gave the map of the palace, and the faint king had no heart, and the generals of Wei were no longer willing to be loyal to him, and the imperial brother promised to accept Wei after he would not hurt the people of Wei State for a cent, and he treated those who surrendered equally in exchange for an easy attack on Wei State, but after breaking through Wei State, Shoukang disappeared ......"

In fact, this is normal, eunuch, where is the bone of loyalty.

The family and country have been broken, the general trend has gone, is it possible for Shoukang to die for a faint king?

But no one felt wrong at that time, and there were more eunuchs fleeing at this time.

But at this moment, Kang Yi said it, Gu Xun also remembered something, Shou Kang turned upside down, isn't it Kang Shou, Kang Shou and Kang Yi?

"What is the connection between Shoukang and Eucommia?"

Gu Xun asked.

Kang Yi smiled, his face was proud, "If it weren't for my brother, how could he get out of the palace alive?" I'm afraid that he would have died in the hands of the queen a long time ago, let alone today. ”

Wen Ling looked at the pride on Kang Yi's face, and roughly understood.

I am afraid that the two brothers want power and respect, not being treated as eunuchs.

It's nice to say, but it's still a minion of trends.

They don't want to be minions.

They want to be powerful ministers.

A respected and feared minister.

"Brother is in the Wei Palace, what are you doing for that Du Zhong?" Wen Ling asked, this sentence is the most important thing to ask.
