Liu Jian stepped forward and saluted Zhu Houzhao before saying, "Your Majesty, can you start?" ”

At this time, the ministers in the hall all had a bit of an atmosphere of sharpening their knives, first His Majesty left the palace without permission, almost shaking the country's foundation, and then the blood letter and self-hanging of Director Zheng, and finally ignited the dry wood in the depths of everyone's hearts, and there was a fire burning in everyone's heart.

If you don't take the opportunity to teach the Son of Heaven a lesson, the officials are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the next fright, and the safety of the Son of Heaven is related to the safety of all the people.

Even if some people know that Ye Chunqiu may be innocent, but today the drunkard does not mean to drink, in order to beat the Son of Heaven.

This is just like everyone knew back then, the so-called Eight Tigers were actually tossed by the Son of Heaven, not because the Son of Heaven was messing around, how could there be the arrogance of Liu Jin and others? But everyone is still doing something to the Eight Tigers, if it weren't for Jiao Fang's secret tipping back then, the current Liu Jin would have died a long time ago.

Countless eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao's body like a torch, and Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, the same line made him look much more stable, his eyes swept over all the people, and said: "Okay, I don't know who the chief judge is?" ”

Jiao Fang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this case is very important, and the minister is willing to do it for you." ”

Jiao Fang took the initiative to ask for help, and almost did not tell the truth, he was a dignified cabinet bachelor, and he was willing to serve as the chief judge, which was very in line with the wishes of all officials.

Zhu Hou glanced at Jiao Fang, in his heart, his impression of Jiao Fang was not bad, so he said: "If this is the case, then there is Lao Jiao Aiqing." ”

Liu Jian just glanced at Jiao Fang indifferently, and had no objections, silently retreating to the class.

The atmosphere of the entire Baohe Hall was tense to the extreme, everyone was thinking about the result of this imperial trial, at this time, a eunuch moved the Jindun under the emperor, Jiao Fang sat down, coughed, and said: "Please Ye Chunqiu." ”

"Please Ye Chunqiu ......"

"Please Ye Chunqiu ......"

Outside the palace, the eunuchs passed the words of the Baohe Palace, like a relay, until the noon gate.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu was dressed properly, and the servants of Dali Temple could not enter the palace, so Ye Chunqiu could only step in.

He entered the Baohe Hall with ease, and when he arrived in the hall, he saluted Zhu Houzhao: "Minister Ye Chunqiu, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Hou saw him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he smiled a little bitterly.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Jiao Fang sitting in the hall, knowing that today's chief judge was Jiao Fang, Ye Chunqiu was not surprised, and saluted Jiao Fang with a calm expression.

Jiao Fang showed an unfathomable smile.

At this time, some whispers came out, and many people were gearing up, and there was a situation where the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

This matter, after all, is too serious, since the suicide of Director Zheng, the public opinion of Qingyi has almost attacked Ye Chunqiu one-sidedly, and the so-called public opinion is like flowing water, which is roughly the case.

Under such 'public opinion', it is obvious that criticizing Ye Chunqiu has become politically correct and will get a good reputation, and how many people can resist this temptation?

Jiao Fang looked at Ye Chunqiu with a smile, and then said slowly: "Who is Your Majesty?" ”

Ye Chunqiu's face was calm, and he replied respectfully: "Hanlin serves Ye Chunqiu." ”

Jiao Fang said: "Offender Ye Chunqiu, are you guilty?" ”

This is an old routine, but some words have a deep meaning, for example, Jiao Fang directly added a criminal officer in front of Ye Chunqiu's name, and his attitude was already very obvious.

In the main hall, the falling needles can be heard, and everyone is waiting for the next confrontation.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu worriedly, he was very dissatisfied with Jiao Fang calling Ye Chunqiu a criminal official, as if he wanted to open his mouth, but remembered that he couldn't protect Ye Chunqiu's warning, so he had to purse his mouth in annoyance like a deflated ball.

Ye Chunqiu was still calm, and said, "What is the crime of the lower official?" ”

Buzzing......

A sentence of what a crime suddenly caused an uproar in the palace, and said that what a crime, you are really bold, do you know, you almost killed the emperor.

Jiao Fang smiled, looking disappreciative: "Oh, whether there is a crime or not, it is not the old man who has the final say, right and wrong, there is a public opinion." ”

Public opinion is the opinion of the masses, of course, there is no so-called mass opinion in this era, it is better to say the opinion of the scholars, in this strict pyramid-shaped scholar class, from the top of the elders, to the hundred officials, and then the famous scholars from all over the world, and then to the lowest children, they are the real masses.

These words are very beautiful, you Ye Chunqiu have touched the bottom line of the reader.

Jiao Fang said again; "The old man only asks one thing, and you have to repay it according to the truth."

Ye Chunqiu still said respectfully: "Jiao Gong, it's okay to ask. ”

Jiao Fang squinted, looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "The old man asked you, whose idea was it for Your Majesty to go to Datong?" Was it His Majesty's unauthorized move, or was it your Ye Chunqiu's instigation? ”

Ye Chunqiu had long known that Jiao Fang would definitely ask this question, because this question could not be answered at all.

In other words, no matter what answer you make, you will fall into a dead place.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways.

This case is really simple to ask, just need Ye Chunqiu to answer this question, after answering, the next thing is that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it.

Zhu Houzhao viciously caressed the imperial case, the whole person cheered up, and he said silently in his heart: "It was me who left the palace without permission, and it was me who left the palace without authorization...... Third child, you answer like this, I don't blame you, all parties are guilty, sin is bowing to me, I ......"

But seeing Ye Chunqiu take a deep breath, this young man showed an unusual old age, he raised his eyes and glanced at Jiao Fang, but he pursed his lips, as if he was thinking.

Everyone was looking at Ye Chunqiu, in essence, there was nothing disgusting and annoying about this person.

If it weren't for the boiling public opinion now, because the officials wanted to give His Majesty a dismissal, to let His Majesty know what he could do and what he couldn't do, if it wasn't for the fact that His Majesty's next adventure would be put an end to, many times, everyone's impression of Ye Chunqiu would not be bad.

Ye Chunqiu suddenly raised his head and said: "It was the instigation of the lower officials, the lower officials have the crime of ten thousand deaths, Your Majesty did not have the idea of going to Datong at the beginning, Your Majesty is young and cannot distinguish between right and wrong, the lower officials are so happy, before going to the disaster relief, he proposed to His Majesty, talking about the benefits of Datong, Your Majesty just moved the idea." ”

The words echoed in the main hall.

"At first, Your Majesty was unwilling, it was the lower officials who repeatedly made comments, and the fault of all this was not Your Majesty, but the lower officials."

Everyone was silent.

In other words, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Ye Chunqiu...... He confessed! (To be continued.) )
