Chapter 338: This Is a Frame-up!
In fact, Yue Guiren was a spy he sent to the emperor, not for anything else, but just to find out the emperor's latest movements.
After all, he is a foreign minister in the end, and it is impossible for him to enter the palace anytime and anywhere, and the news that a concubine can bring to himself is far easier and more true than that of the secret guard.
This Yue Guiren was the daughter of one of his subordinates before, and after the death of that subordinate, he ordered someone to send Yue Guiren to the palace after conditioning, in order to help him do things.
It's just that I don't know why, this matter was actually known by the emperor.
Zheng Zecheng originally thought that after he confessed, the emperor's anger would be less, but who knows, the emperor actually sneered more and more, and said repeatedly: "A good one only has money to shine on, and a good one doesn't matter!"
When he said this, he turned around again, took a man's middle coat from the chair, threw it on top of Zheng Zecheng's head, and said coldly: "Then you explain to me, what is this?!"
Zheng Zecheng suddenly felt that there was darkness in front of him, he reached out and picked up the clothes, he was puzzled before, but when he saw the symbols on the clothes, his eyes widened instantly.
Because of the habit of so many years, he always embroidered a pattern on his clothes. Originally meant to be safe, it has now become its own unique mark.
But......
"Your Majesty, Weichen...... This must be someone else's frame-up!"
Although Zheng Zecheng didn't know why clothes with his own logo appeared in Yi Chunxuan, and he couldn't figure out whether this was his own clothes, he definitely couldn't admit it now!
After all, once he admits it, then he can't get away with the crime of fornicating with Yue Guiren! Because in addition to fornication, what other reason would make him leave his middle clothes in Yi Chunxuan?
Seeing the sound of Zheng Zecheng kowtowing again, the emperor didn't believe a word.
He originally came to see Yue Guiren on a whim, but who knew that he saw that she was hiding things in a panic.
The emperor was originally curious, so he insisted on going to see it, but when he saw what she was hiding, he instantly became angry.
That's Zheng Zecheng's clothes.
A concubine is actually hiding a foreign minister's clothes, what does this mean? It shows that there was a quarrel between them!
The emperor ordered someone to beat the Yue Guiren half to death, but the Yue Guiren couldn't bear it and finally confessed that he had a relationship with Zheng Zecheng, and kept saying that he was forced by Zheng Zecheng.
So, the emperor ordered someone to announce Zheng Zecheng into the palace.
At this time, hearing Zheng Zecheng's defense, the emperor was almost angry: "I want to know, who will frame you? Is it her?"
He casually pointed to the more noble person, and saw that the more noble person kept shaking his head, and the tears on his face became more and more.
The emperor was disgusted when he saw it, and suddenly walked over, pulled out the towel from Yue Gui's mouth, and said sharply: "Okay, wow, then you are here to confront you, but I want to hear who is lying!"
As soon as he said this, the tears on the face of the more noble man became more and more, and he cried in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... The concubine is sorry for you!"
When she said this, she looked at Zheng Zecheng again and said: "Lord Zheng, your kindness has been repaid in this palace, and there is no joy in life and no hardship in death, please ask the emperor to give you death!"
In a word, the two of them were reconciled.
Zheng Zecheng was so angry that the green tendons on his neck burst out, gritted his teeth and said: "You are full of nonsense, I have ...... Zeng, He Zeng"
He never did anything excessive to the Yue nobles, after all, it was what he wanted to sacrifice to the emperor, and he didn't dare to have hundreds of guts!
It's a pity that the emperor didn't want to listen anymore, so he simply waved his hand and said coldly: "Come on, drag this pair of dog men and women out, and kill them with a cane!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Zecheng suddenly struggled desperately, and the nobleman next to him cried even more.
It's just that if you look closely, you will find that in addition to tears, there is more hatred in her eyes.
At the beginning, she did not enter the palace voluntarily.
Originally, before her father died, she had a childhood sweetheart's fiancé. But because Zheng Zecheng fell in love with his beauty and asked her to be a chess piece, he threatened himself with his fiancé. She had no choice but to enter the palace to serve the emperor, in order to save her fiancé's life.
Who knew that when she met a former fellow villager the day before yesterday, she knew that her little tiger brother was killed by this Zheng Zecheng three years ago!
Three years ago...... That's after I just entered the palace!
That person didn't know whose henchman it was, and probably had an enmity with Zheng Zecheng, he gave himself a piece of Zheng Zecheng's clothes, said that if he wanted revenge, he would take himself, and asked her if she was willing.
Naturally, she was willing.
Brother Xiaohu is dead, his father and mother are dead, and there is no hope in this world. It's better to live than to die, why not die?
But even if she dies, she has to avenge Brother Xiaohu!
That's why we have today's scene.
When he was dragged out by the inner guard, the eyes of the nobleman looked at Zheng Zecheng, and his heart was full of sadness.
Zheng Zecheng inadvertently saw her eyes, struggled more and more, and cried out: "Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen's explanation!"
The emperor was upset when he heard this, and when the inner chamberlain next to him saw it, he immediately stepped forward to gag Zheng Zecheng's mouth, and made another look, and the two were immediately dragged out.
After a while, there was a muffled sound of the board entering the flesh outside.
The board of the cane is different from the board of the torture rod, one can cripple a person but not die, and the other will break the internal organs of the person during the execution, and finally die in agony.
At that time, this board was invented by Zheng Zecheng, but he didn't want to, but today he used it on his body.
At first, Zheng Zecheng still had the strength to struggle, but later, he gradually breathed out more and took in less air, and his face turned purple.
I don't know how long it took for the two to gradually stop twitching, and there was no more movement.
"Your Majesty, they are dead. ”
Hearing this, the emperor waved his hand irritably and said coldly: "Throw them to the mass grave to feed the dogs!"
Such filthy people are buried in dirty ground, and they are only worthy of feeding dogs!
When he said this, he still didn't understand his hatred, and ordered: "You, take the Imperial Forest Army to the Zheng family, all men will be beheaded, and women will ...... All as military prostitutes!"
......
The Zheng family fell.
Just a month ago, the Zheng family of Dali Temple, which was still beautiful, is now a seal in front of the dry grass door in the courtyard.
It's just that no one knows why the Zheng family's Hulala Building collapsed.
It became a secret.
The emperor forbade everyone to mention this person again, and those who had a relationship with Zheng Zecheng were in a hurry to clear up their relationship with him, and those who had an enmity with Zheng Zecheng were celebrating behind their backs.
Throughout March, people in the capital were in a state of panic. There are many people who are afraid of implicating themselves, and those who hope to be able to get their sworn enemies into Zheng Zecheng's comrades.
Such a black smoke miasma, even the March day with this warbler flying grass seems to be a little darker.
The turmoil in the capital finally burned to the head of the Anling Palace.
It's just that it's not because of Zheng Zecheng.
Originally, because of the affairs of the Zheng Mansion, the officials in the court were all in danger, and they hated to treat themselves as quails, and the provincial emperor was vented to their heads by the emperor who was in a bad mood.
But who knows, their Beijing officials are honest, but someone from other places came to the capital with the latest news and returned to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, the riot in Anling County, Shandong, killed the whole family of the county officials, and now it has occupied the local area, and also attacked the three surrounding counties entrenched in one side, please send troops to suppress it!"
The man briefly explained the matter, which immediately caused the emperor's head to thump.
The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and the emperor asked angrily, "What's going on?"
Hearing this, the man suddenly snorted and cried: "Back to the emperor, this matter is because of King Anling." He deducted taxes in the name of the emperor, and the people of Anling County had a bad natural disaster, and countless people died in their families.
As soon as these words came out, they exploded in an instant.
The emperor's heart was also full of uneasiness.
He won't be unclear about the reason for this, because this thing was ordered by himself to do it!
It's just that at that time, when he ordered someone to do it, he just wanted to press this matter on Gu Qingchi's head, but he didn't let the people rebel.
Who knew it would be so serious!
He was frowning and thinking, when he heard an official say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, King Anling's move is really too much, Weichen asks you to punish King Anling and give an explanation to those disaster victims!"
As the man's words fell, several other officials also responded, they had never had a good impression of Gu Qingchi, and when they heard this kind of thing, they were even more angry.
This King Anling, he is a bastard on weekdays, but he actually did this kind of thing to use the safety of the country to collect money, this is to destroy the national body of Xichu!
As a result, in the concerted crusade of those officials, Gu Qingchi's charges became more and more serious.
The emperor was still a little flustered, but after hearing their words, he felt at ease.
It's just that some of the victims are making a fuss, so what? As long as there is a force to suppress it later, but at the moment, the uprising of these people has given him a good opportunity.
Being able to get rid of Gu Qingchi justifiably and make him ruined, isn't this the purpose of this plan he set in the first place.
Now it seems that as long as the goal is achieved, even if some Diao people are lost, so what? Anyway...... There are so many people in the Western Chu Kingdom, even if some Diao people die, the people will not be clean!
As soon as he thought of this, the emperor suddenly felt that his heart had settled down, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be impatient, you Aiqing, this matter will be discussed after asking King Anling." Someone, King Xuan'an Ling is in the palace-"
As a good brother with exemplary morals, he naturally couldn't immediately agree to the ministers at this time, but wanted to invite Gu Qingchi to ask him clearly.
Although the emperor hated to execute Gu Qingchi immediately, he also knew that he was in a hurry.
He has survived all these years, and now it is only a short time, and he can afford to wait!
......
Since Gu Qingchi's newlywed assassination a few years ago, the emperor has stopped all his errands in disguise under the pretext of letting him recuperate in the mansion.
In fact, the errands that Gu Qingchi could access were all inconsequential, but now that they have stopped, it is more convenient for him to do what he has to do.
Therefore, Gu Qingchi was happy to hear about his disguised suspension.
March day, breezy and bustling. Gu Qingchi didn't have to get up early, so he accompanied Shi Miaoyu to sleep until the third pole of the sun, and after breakfast, he was enjoying the boudoir for his wife's thrush, and he didn't want to be noisy by the knock outside the door.
"Lord, someone has come to the palace. ”
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi frowned, and said lightly: "Let him wait." ”
While he said this, he looked at Shi Miaoyu in the bronze mirror seriously, and was trimming her eyebrows little by little.
