Chapter 447: The Prime Minister is in prison

In the middle of the ocean, a small island appears completely covered with green vegetation.

The lookout on the mast rubbed his eyes to make sure that it was the island, and he lowered his head and shouted, "King, there is an island in front of you." ”

"Really?" Meng Tu ran out of the cabin with an excited face, holding an ancient book in his left hand and a telescope in his right hand.

After some observation and comparison with ancient books, he excitedly shouted: "Brothers, we have found it!"

Rushing out of the cabin a dozen rags of people is simply synonymous with dirty and sloppy.

After more than ten days of sailing, the fleet encountered huge waves, whirlpools and other more than a dozen dangers, and was attacked and chased by unknown huge sea beasts, only this one of the three ships remained, and there were only a dozen of hundreds of crew members left.

"We have finally found it, turn the rudder quickly, and sail directly to the isolated island!" Meng Tu was excited, feeling that the efforts of these days were worth it, and he could land on the island immediately, and when he found the ancient temple, he could get the help of a comeback.

......

Dahan, Imperial Palace.

The hall was very quiet, Ye Yunyang's face was relaxed, and he stood straight.

Opposite him were Li Fuchen and others, who were angry and unkind.

At this time, the deacon and eunuch outside shouted: "Dali Temple Shaoqing Duanmu Yu is ordered to come to see you." ”

The emperor opened his mouth and spat out one word: "Quasi!"

Since the last carjacking case was solved, Ye Yunyang used his network to successfully stuff Duanmu Yu into Dali Temple and served as Shaoqing.

Shaoqing is not a big official, only from the fifth grade, but he is the out-and-out No. 2 person in Dali Temple, responsible for the prison, arrest and interrogation.

Duanmuyu entered the office at the age of 50, and his motivation was no worse than that of young people, and he solved several major cases in just a few days and secured the position of Shaoqing.

A few days ago, he received a notice from Ye Yunyang, in the name of going out of the city to pursue fugitives, he went all the way north for 600 miles, completed the handover with Chen Shilai, and took Li Zhong and others back to the imperial capital and put them in the prison of Dali Temple.

Li Fuchen's people only stared at the holy temple and the Fenglin faction, although they also arranged a lot of eyeliner at the city gate, but they didn't pay attention to the people of Dali Temple at all, so that the prisoner cart swaggered past in front of them, and they didn't recognize that the person inside was Li Zhong.

Duanmuyu walked into the main hall quickly and saluted the emperor: "Weichen Duanmuyu, I was ordered to come to meet you." ”

"Flat. The emperor looked at Duanmu Yu and said, "Marquis Wu Ying sued Prime Minister Li Fuchen, saying that the evidence is in your hands, but is this true?"

Duanmu Yu stood up and replied, "Yes, Wu Yinghou handed over dozens of witnesses to Weichen, and he is now being imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple. Wechen had already interrogated them, and one of them, Li Zhong, was the main culprit, and he confessed to the assassination of Wu Yinghou. ”

Li Fuchen's breathing speed began to increase, and his face became ugly.

Duanmu Yu continued: "Weichen brought the confessions of Li Zhong and others, please ask Your Majesty to take a look. ”

After speaking, he took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch beside him.

"False, these so-called confessions must be fake!" Li Fuchen jumped out and said.

Duanmu Yu sneered: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty hasn't read it yet, and you don't know what the content of the confession is, so you jumped out to oppose it, and the meaning of wanting to cover it up is too obvious, right?"

Li Fuchen snorted: "No matter what is written on the confession, the true appearance will not be recognized." ”

Duanmuyu immediately said: "I also brought the witness, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can call Li Zhong and others to interrogate in the court." ”

The emperor took a cursory look at the confession and handed it to the crown prince with a frown.

The crown prince also took a cursory look at it, and immediately became angry: "Li Fuchen, as the head of a hundred officials, you should play an exemplary role for the civil and military officials, and you actually let the housekeeper go to the border in person and spend a lot of money to murder Wu Yinghou!

Li Fuchen insisted that it had nothing to do with him, and refused to admit it.

Ye Yunyang turned his head to look at Lu Xun's father and son, Lu Xuan hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, when Xiao Wang led his troops to attack Bian Rong, the other party justified that Xiao Wang's death was a manslaughter in order to survive, saying that their original purpose was to kill Wu Yinghou, and they came to the Han people to let them do it. When the seizures were counted after the war, a box of gold was found on it, with the words "made by the Han government" on it. ”

Li Fuchen said coldly: "Now that King Bian Rong is dead, there is no proof of death, of course you can say whatever you like! Your Majesty, the words of Duanmu Yu and King Rong Di are not credible, one of them is Ye Yunyang's nephew, and the other regards him as the savior of the Rong Di people, of course they will speak to him." ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Duanmu Yu, let people go to the palace." ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhong and the others were escorted to the main hall, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Li Fuchen's fierce gaze.

The prince asked: "Sinner Li Zhong, why did you appear in the Bianrong station, and how did you become a prisoner at the foot of Dali Temple, and you were recruited from the truth." ”

Li Zhong had already experienced the methods of Dali Temple, and he had already confessed, so he had nothing to hide, raised his head and said: "The villain is the second steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and on the orders of the Prime Minister, he went to Bianrong with 10,000 taels of gold and more than a dozen carts of supplies to bribe the King of Bianrong to assassinate Marquis Wuying. King Bianrong asked his generals to pretend to take refuge in Bai Di to deceive King Bai Di's trust, and then took the opportunity to enter the camp of the Han envoy, but killed the eldest prince by mistake. Later, the Bai Di people surrounded the Bianrong station, and the villain was captured by Wu Yinghou's subordinates, and then he was sent to the prison of Dali Temple......"

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar.

Even those who have always supported Li Fuchen have been shaken in their hearts.

Although this was only Li Zhong's words, there were dozens of companions who were arrested with him, so it was not possible for a group of people to all commit perjury.

The emperor's face sank like water, although he was dissatisfied with Li Fuchen for a long time, but after all, the other party was in an important position, and rashly moving him was likely to cause turmoil in the court, and he had been thinking about a perfect strategy.

The last looting convoy incident, it was out of this consideration that he finally chose to make peace with the mud.

Ye Yunyang also saw this, so he attacked in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, intending to defeat the enemy with one move.

The evidence is conclusive, and it is in public, and this matter cannot be downplayed.

Duanmu Yu clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, murdering nobles is a big crime, and Li Fuchen, as the prime minister, knows the law and violates the law, which is even more of a crime!"

As soon as his words fell, Lu Xun pointed at Li Fuchen and said, "Okay, it turns out that you are the real murderer of this king's beloved son! Your Majesty, Xiao Wang asks you to bring this person to justice, so as to comfort the soul of the deceased in heaven!"

Li Fuchen's henchmen were all panicked, and if he fell, they would not want to have good fruits to eat, just like the original military department.

The emperor bowed his head slightly and asked for the prince's opinion.

The prince said loudly: "Father, the evidence and material evidence in this case are all there, Li Fuchen bought a murderer to assassinate Wu Yinghou, the evidence is conclusive, please ask my father to make a holy judgment." ”

The ministers of the prince's faction clasped their fists one after another and said in unison: "Please Your Majesty." ”

Although it feels a little bit like falling into a well, it is not unfair.

The emperor frowned and shouted at Li Fuchen: "Prime Minister, what else do you have to say now?"

Li Fuchen glared at Ye Yunyang, gritted his teeth and said: "I have been in the officialdom for decades, but I didn't expect to lose in the hands of you, a milky boy, I am really unwilling." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled indifferently: "Prime Minister, do you want to know where you are defeated?"

"I want to hear it in detail!" Li Fuchen squeezed out these four words.

"First of all, you underestimate the enemy, you shouldn't underestimate Benhou. Ye Yunyang said one by one: "Second, you are too conceited, conceited to the point that you use a strategy twice, whether you rob the convoy to kill people with a knife, buy off the king of Bian Rong or want to kill people with a knife, since Ben Hou can defeat your first conspiracy, the second time will naturally not be a problem;

Li Fu's chest rose and fell for a while, but he couldn't refute it.

The crown prince shouted: "Li Fuchen, just now my father asked you, why didn't you answer, it's too lawless!"

Li Fuchen smiled sadly, his two arms naturally drooped, and said: "The matter has come to this point, the old minister has nothing to say, just let the emperor send and fall." I hope that Your Majesty will think of my hard work and achievements, and not kill the old ministers. ”

With that, he knelt on the ground with his legs bent.

The emperor took a deep breath and ordered: "Where are the guards in front of the palace! Put this lawless person in the heavenly prison, and the three law divisions will be tried publicly, except for the crime of attempting to assassinate the nobles, there are any other violations of law and discipline, and all of them will be investigated!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The emperor stood up, and before leaving, he said, "The crown prince and Marquis Wu Yinghou will go to the imperial study, and the rest of the people will disperse." ”

After saying that, the emperor strode away, and the ministers shouted long live again.

Ye Yunyang silently hugged his fist at Lu Xun: "This favor of King Rong Di, Ben Hou has remembered it, and there will be a reward in the future." ”

Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Xiao Wang did this to avenge the dead Lu Zhi, Ye Jungong does not need to be polite." If there is nothing else to do, Xiao Wang and the dog will leave, and if there is leisure in the future, invite Wu Yinghou to the Northland as a guest. ”

"Definitely. ”

The ministers left one after another, and the prince walked down the Danqi and whispered to Ye Yunyang: "Well done, three times five divided by two, Li Fuchen will be done!"

He smiled modestly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it falsely, I have a feeling that His Majesty doesn't seem to approve of this very much, and it won't be a scolding to summon you and me to the imperial study, right?"

The crown prince's eyes widened: "It is very likely that my father does not want to touch Li Fuchen for the time being, and put him in prison, purely because he has to do it in front of everyone." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find a helper, otherwise we will definitely have no good fruit to eat when we get to the imperial study!" Ye Yunyang said in an anxious tone.

The prince didn't understand, so he asked, "What kind of helper are you looking for, who can be scolded for us, where can we find it?"

Ye Yunyang looked at him with a slightly disdainful gaze and said, "Of course it's your family's precious daughter, besides her, who else in this world can make the emperor angry?"

The prince's eyes lit up, yes, how did he forget about the Makui!

He immediately instructed the little eunuch with him to go to Princess Yuying's bedroom as quickly as possible, and told her to hurry up and go to the imperial study.

As for the two of them, of course, they tried to delay as much as possible.
