Chapter 406: Persecution

Xu Lizhen's deeds are too bad, and it is not uncommon for the DPRK and China to calculate others for each other's interests, and it is not uncommon for them to be framed by intrigue, but it is rare to destroy people at every turn like this, leaving people without leaving chickens and dogs.

In addition, Xu Lizhen acted too unscrupulously when he was in power before, and later offended many people in the DPRK and China in order to win the sacred heart of the household department.

Now seeing that he is in debt, there is no chance to recover again, and there are so many people who want to fall into the well and put him to death.

Emperor Tianqing "slammed" and closed the fold sent by the Imperial Procuratorate: "Not only does he disregard the grace of the saint, he does not want to serve the court in the upper position, and he kills people with his strength, this fang is simply damned!" Come to someone, spread my will, Xu Lizhen is cunning and vicious, the crime deserves death, and he is sentenced to beheading......"

Rong Guangsheng held the wat board in his hand and only felt that his heart was raised, and he was relieved when he heard that Emperor Tianqing directly gave death Xu Lizhen breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could rest assured, he suddenly heard the prince speak.

"Father!"

The crown prince suddenly stepped forward, "I'm afraid that Xu Lizhen's matter not only involves the Cui and Hu families. ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at the crown prince sharply.

Rong Guangsheng also slammed his face.

The prince said in a deep voice: "Xu Lizhen was ordered to patrol the salt, if he only tried to seek profits, he could collude with the people of Cao Yun to cover it up for him in exchange for huge profits, Guo Yueguang and others would not refuse, but he directly bypassed Cao Si and attacked the Hu family, and killed the Hu family for the sake of private salt account books, and even lynched Lord Shen who had no intention of getting involved, which was by no means just for gold and silver. ”

"In addition, if Cui Le has already shouldered all the blame for the Hu family's affairs, and no one has pursued the Hu family's old affairs after the Cao Yun smuggling salt case, Cui Le's demotion to the official position has long been unable to hinder him, why did Xu Lizhen take the risk to kill Cui Le, and even kill everyone in the Cui family?"

"Unless, Cui Le knows not only about the case of private salt, but also holds the handle of him or other people's lives in his hands, then they don't dare to leave the slightest trouble."

Emperor Tianqing's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the crown prince.

Rong Guangsheng couldn't help but say: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinking too complicated, maybe Xu Lizhen is just too ambitious, greedy and vicious. ”

The prince raised his eyes and looked at him: "He is indeed greedy and vicious, but if no one indulges him, how can he do such a heinous evil deed alone?" ”

"My father hates the collusion of courtiers, Xu Lizhen is innocent of killing people, if he only punishes his people and indulges the real murderer, it will not only be difficult to calm the resentment of the Cui family's daughter, but also lead the world to talk about the incompetence of the court, and will indulge the real murderer with impunity, and ask my father to think twice."

Shen Zhongkang stood at the head of the crowd, and when the prince finished speaking, he also spoke: "What the prince said is reasonable, Xu Lizhen's matter is not only about the Cui and Hu families, the cases he has handled for many years for the imperial history may not be unjust, even if it is not for the people he colluded with, it is difficult to guarantee that he has not been as vicious as the Cui and Hu families in other matters." ”

"When Cui's daughter complained on the street, there were many onlookers, and just through her mouth, everyone said that Cui Le did more than one or two evil things for Xu Lizhen, and Hu Yan also personally testified that there was someone else who wanted to kill him, if Xu Lizhen could not be strictly interrogated to find out the truth, it would probably lead to speculation from outside."

"The old minister implores His Majesty to order the three divisions to strictly interrogate Xu Lizhen, thoroughly investigate the old cases of Cui and Hu, and give Cui's daughter and Hu Yan, and also give an explanation to the courtiers and the people."

Emperor Tianqing's face changed instantly after hearing Shen Zhongkang's words, and he always felt that the sentence in his mouth, "The case in his hand may not be unjust", meant something, but before he could say anything, the second assistant Yue Zheng, who was originally standing quietly, suddenly spoke: "The old minister also feels that this matter cannot only punish Xu Lizhen alone. ”

"Everything he has done is not something that can be done by one person, murdering courtiers, destroying people, if there are such villains hidden in the court and not thoroughly investigating them, it will definitely be a disaster in the future, and the old minister also feels that he should let the three divisions strictly try this case."

Rong Guangsheng stood aside and just wanted to speak, when he saw Yue Zheng turn his head to look at him and said,

"Not long ago, Xu Lizhen just framed the third son of Rong, and almost killed General Rong for the crime of rebellion, I can't say that someone instigated it, General Rong must also want to investigate this matter thoroughly, so that he can find out the real murderer and return the third son of Rong to an innocence."

“……”

No matter how many words Rong Guangsheng had, he was all blocked back by Yue Zheng's words.

Xu Lizhen has a "murderous" enmity with him, and it is impossible to resolve the deep hatred, if he speaks for Xu Lizhen again or even says that he is unwilling to investigate thoroughly, what do the people in the court think of him?

Rong Guangsheng gritted his teeth and said, "What the second assistant said is. ”

There are Yuanfu and Cifu two people who spoke, and the prince spoke in front, and now even the military generals led by Rong Guangsheng have also said that they want to strictly interrogate Xu Lizhen, and the rest of the courtiers naturally echoed one after another, saying "His Royal Highness the Prince is reasonable", "What Yuanfu said is extremely true".

Emperor Tianqing never expected that the prince would jump out to stop him, and said with a slightly calm face: "In this case, Xu Lizhen will be imprisoned for the time being, and then the three divisions will be interrogated by the third division when the dynasty opens after ......the year."

"This matter should not be postponed until after the year."

The crown prince was obedient and obedient, and directly interrupted Emperor Tianqing's words, "The matter of Cui's daughter and Hu Yanming is boiling in Beijing, and the outside world also knows about the tragedy of the two families, if you don't find out this matter in time, I am afraid that the culprit will be boiling, and if it is taken advantage of again, I am afraid that it will hurt the reputation of the royal family......"

"Prince!" Emperor Tianqing drank lowly.

The crown prince looked at him with a sudden cold gaze and did not retreat at all: "Father, there are still a few days before the New Year's Festival, and there is evidence of guilt in the hands of the Cui family and the Hu family, and it is not difficult to investigate Xu Lizhen." ”

"If you can find out this matter before the end of the year and tell the world, it can not only appease the souls of those who have died, but also let the people know that the court will never allow villains to go free, and it can also promote the prestige of the father, but if this matter is delayed and ignored, it is inevitable that some people will speculate that the court is protecting the powerful and selfish."

"Erchen feels that this case should be tried as soon as possible."

Emperor Tianqing's face turned completely cold, and when he looked at the prince, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and his eyes were even more angry that could not be concealed.

The crown prince was dressed in a dragon brocade robe, stood in front of the palace with the eyes of Emperor Tianqing and said:

"The son doesn't want his father to bear the burden of covering up the evil name and talking about it, and he doesn't want to leave such a vicious person to cause trouble in the court, and he also asks his father to issue an order to strictly interrogate Xu Lizhen and severely punish those who collude with him."

Emperor Tianqing's expression was gloomy.

Recently, the prince is very sensible, he is relieved to entrust the affairs of the court to the prince to deal with, after the previous Jiuli Mountain was injured, he also delegated a lot of power, he thought that the prince had reined in his temperament and became obedient, and he was particularly comfortable everywhere according to his wishes, and he also found a few points of fatherly love.

But now looking at the eldest son in front of him, he suddenly remembered the appearance of this son a long time ago when he was against him everywhere for the death of Yongzhao, he followed Yongzhao with all his bones, and he was stubborn and stubborn, he was never the kind of obedient and obedient person at all, how could he believe that he would be as obedient as other sons, and it actually gave him the confidence to be against him everywhere now!
