Chapter 110: The Su family was rehabilitated, and the Zhai family was exiled
Around noon.
Xi Xiangyu returned to the prison with a few side dishes and a pot of wine.
"Lord Zhai."
Xi Xiangyu smiled and sat directly opposite Zhai Tianyao.
Looking at the wine and food on the table, Zhai Tianyao smiled indifferently and said, "Is this a severed head wine for Zhai?" ”
Xi Xiangyu waved his hand and said, "Lord Zhai misunderstood, this is just a little bit of the lower official's mind." Lord Zhai used to be a squire in the military department, although now the tiger has fallen into Pingyang......"
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there would be such clever people as adults in the Criminal Department."
At this moment, Zhai Tianyao was not polite, and after finishing speaking, he directly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of food, and then drank it all with a full glass of wine.
Xi Xiangyu smiled, not feeling uplifted by Zhai Tianyao's mocking tone.
"Lord Xi, thank you for your kindness. However, Zhai has nothing to say, and Lord Xi doesn't have to waste his efforts. ”
Zhai Tianyao said with a smile.
"I know." Xi Xiangyu took a sip of wine, and then spoke again: "This official knows what Lord Zhai is thinking, but while Lord Zhai is unwilling to think about himself, he should at least think about his family......"
Hearing this, Zhai Tianyao was stunned for a moment, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his eyes looked at Xi Xiangyu.
"You...... Is it the Prince's man? ”
Zhai Tianyao asked uncertainly.
Xi Xiangyu smiled.
"Who is this official, Lord Zhai doesn't need to worry, Lord Zhai only needs to know, forging the documents of the Ministry of War and framing the ministers of the court, this matter is to destroy the nine clans, if Lord Zhai has been unwilling to let go, has Lord Zhai ever thought about your wife, what will happen to your child?"
Xi Xiangyu said expressionlessly.
"This matter can be big or small, presumably Lord Zhai should also understand the seriousness of the matter. Someone asked the official to tell Lord Zhai that if things stop here, everyone would be able to get along, and as for Lord Zhai's choice, it was up to Lord Zhai to decide. ”
After speaking, Xi Xiangyu slowly stood up, didn't say anything, turned around and left the cell.
Looking at the back of Xi Xiangyu leaving, Zhai Tianyao fell into deep thought. At this moment, Zhai Tianyao couldn't see that this soldier was undoubtedly the prince's person.
At this moment, Zhai Tianyao showed a bitter smile on his face, he had already understood the meaning from Xi Xiangyu's words, the prince wanted to confess his guilt and take all the charges down.
Zhai Tianyao took a deep breath, and after a moment, shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, Zhai Tianyao finally made a choice in his heart.
"Someone! Someone! I want to see Master Ma! ”
……
Zhai Tianyao took all the charges, which made Ma Wenjin feel a little unwilling. Although Zhai Tianyao is a squire of the Ministry of War, everyone can think of the forgery of the documents of the Ministry of War, if Zhai Tianyao has no one behind him, he will never have the courage to do such a thing.
But Zhai Tianyao has now taken all the charges, and Ma Wenjin has no way to investigate. can only present the crime signed by Zhai Tianyao to Li Deyi.
The next day, above the morning meeting.
In response to what Yu Zhai Tianyao did, Li Deyi was extremely angry. And this time at the court meeting, the prince, who was still in solitary confinement, also came to the Jinluan Hall under the orders of Li Deyi.
"Prince, Xiangye. Twenty years ago, I remember that the two of you personally handled this matter, I wonder what the two of you think about Zhai Tianyao's forgery of the documents of the Ministry of War? ”
Li Deyi stared at the two of them, although he knew in his heart that the two of them might be the biggest black hands behind the scenes about Zhai Tianyao, but in the absence of evidence, even if he was the Son of Heaven, he couldn't do anything with the two of them.
Hearing Li Deyi's words, Li Gan hurriedly stood up, arched his hand, and said indignantly: "Father, the son knows his mistake!" In this matter, the son failed to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and was used by the villain, so he begged his father to punish him! ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!"
Cai Jing also said at this moment.
I have to say that the two of them are too cunning, and in just a few words, they put all the fault on Zhai Tianyao. The two portrayed themselves as a person who was blinded by the villain.
Li Deyi frowned slightly, stared at Li Gan with a sharp gaze, and then spoke: "In this way, the emperor and Aiqing were also used by villains, and you are not to blame for this matter." ”
"But!"
Li Deyi's words changed sharply and said: "General Su is the pillar of my Dawu Dynasty and has made great achievements for my Dawu Dynasty, but now he is because of the villain's framing, and he has ended up in a complete end, both of you have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!" If the two of you had been able to see what was going on, this unjust case would not have happened. ”
Hearing this, Cai Jing and Li Gan immediately knelt on the ground and said with a pious face: "Please also ask Your Majesty to punish you!" ”
Li Deyi pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Thinking about the two of you is also an unintentional mistake, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." The crown prince Li Qian, the prime minister Cai Jing due to the unfavorable investigation, led to the tragic death of Zhongliang, and was specially fined for five years to set an example! ”
Seeing that His Majesty's punishment of the two was just innocuous and insignificant, many ministers looked helpless.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Li Mingyu, the old Yan King, stood up and arched his hand towards Li Deyi: "Since the matter of General Su has now been investigated, Weichen hopes that His Majesty can tell the world about this matter and return General Su's innocence." ”
Hearing this, Li Deyi nodded.
The Su family was finally rehabilitated after 20 years, which made many people applaud, especially when some people learned that Zhai Tianyao, the former military squire, was demoted to a commoner by Li Deyi because of the framing of Zhongliang, and dozens of people from the Zhai Mansion were exiled to the frontier, which moved them even more.
When Su Ling learned the news, the grievances that Su Ling had buried in his heart for more than ten years finally found an outlet, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Although the mastermind behind the scenes has not been punished, being able to rehabilitate the Su family has already made Su Ling cry with joy. And the Su family's office was able to be rehabilitated in such a quick time, and all this credit was due to Chu Mo.
Shizifu.
"Young master, there is news from the palace that the Su family has been successfully rehabilitated, and Zhai Tianyao has been exiled to the frontier, but Cai Jing and Li Qian are safe."
Yu Zixuan reported all the news he got to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was not surprised when he heard this. Because it was all in his expectation.
Li Deyi is not a fool, things have developed to such a point, how could he not know that this matter has a lot to do with Cai Jing and Li Gan, but these two people, one is the current prince, and the other is a high-powered minister, even if Li Deyi knows that this matter is involved with them, he can't help them at all.
Chu Mo couldn't help but wonder, is this considered Li Deyi's sorrow?
