Chapter 145: Urgent Report
"If it's all such a frame-up statement, I don't need it in Great Xia."
Yuan Kangdi was angry.
But is it really good for the emperor to say this?
Is this still the same elegant emperor as before?
Is it really dementia?
"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, how can you be sure that this matter is framed without any evidence?"
Another imperial historian stood up and asked aloud.
Yuan Kangdi glanced at this person.
sneered in his heart, another Zheng family henchman.
"What you said is right, as the Son of Heaven, how can I condemn people without evidence."
When Emperor Yuan Kangdi said this, he suddenly raised his voice: "Come on, bring those few people who spread rumors about the prince." β
In a short time, in the astonished eyes of everyone, a dozen or so people were brought up.
One of them turned out to be the housekeeper of Zheng Yun's Mansion.
A lot of ministers here have seen it.
The moment he saw the housekeeper, Zheng Yun knew that everything was over.
After spreading the rumors, he gave the man a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and told him to leave Kyoto temporarily and hide.
Unexpectedly, instead of hiding, this dog thing was caught by the emperor.
"I give a few of you a chance to live, let's say, why are you spreading rumors to frame the prince and Li Xing?"
The emperor asked, and all of them fell to their knees.
In the end, all the spearheads were pointed at Zheng Yun's housekeeper.
Although the butler had already been recruited, in front of the emperor, he was still scared to sit on the ground when he was identified by these people again.
Trembling, he said, "The emperor ...... Your Majesty, my lord instructed me to do this, and after I finished doing it, he also gave me a 1,000 taels of silver tickets to let me leave Kyoto. β
After speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his clothes, trembled and handed it to the eunuch who was responsible for passing the evidence.
"Alright, take these people down!"
After listening to the testimony, the ministers understood that the emperor had been prepared for a long time.
Emperor Yuan Kang didn't pay attention to those imperial histories anymore, but looked at Zheng Yun: "Zheng Yun, why are you doing this?" β
Zheng Yun knelt on his knees, his eyes full of despair: "Your Majesty, the minister only wants to die quickly!" β
"I can give you a way to live, as long as you tell the truth."
Zheng Yun didn't say that he wanted to die quickly, and Emperor Yuan Kang might not have delved into it, after all, behind him was the Zheng family.
And the Zheng family is a big family that has existed for thousands of years, which is longer than the founding of Great Xia.
Almost the entire southwest of Great Xia was under the control of the Zheng family.
In order to stabilize the Zheng family, one of Yuan Kangdi's concubines was the concubine of the Zheng family.
Xing Guogong's wife is also from the Zheng family.
So for Zheng Yun, Emperor Yuan Kangdi just planned to remove him from his official position, and the matter ended here.
But now Zheng Yun's words are tantamount to telling Yuan Kangdi that they have other plans, so Yuan Kangdi has to be cautious about this windfall.
And this question also made many people nervous.
Although some people didn't participate in it, they were afraid that Zheng Yun would bite indiscriminately in order to survive!
Zheng Yun also realized at this moment that he had just been in a mess and said something he shouldn't have said.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He knew that something had been said.
Not only him, but even his family may be abandoned by the Zheng family.
It is better to be silent than to say more and be wrong.
"Zheng Yun, do you think that if you are silent, I don't know anything?"
"Do you think that if you poisoned Xing Guogong and lied that he had smallpox, I lost my right hand?"
"Do you really think that I have been tolerant of all these years, but I can't do it?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has never thought about it like this, the minister just asked the housekeeper to narrate the fact that the prince is the leader of the mountain bandits in the northwest, and there are not a few people who know it."
Zheng Yun wailed again and again, grabbed the ground with his head, and made a final struggle.
As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed.
Is this Zheng Yun insinuating them?
When Jiang Hong heard this, the anger in his heart suddenly jumped.
This dog thing, who made rumors about him, still dares to bite him, it is unbearable.
Li Xing had already noticed the prince's abnormal movement, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive, learn from Your Majesty, how to strategize." β
"I ......"
Jiang Hong wanted to refute, but found that he was powerless.
From the time they came in until now, my father has indeed been holding the initiative and suppressing these ministers to the death.
Especially the witnesses brought by my father, they are simply a stroke of genius.
"Hehe, you still want to bite the prince now." Emperor Yuan Kang smiled slightly: "To tell you the truth, the prince is not a mountain bandit who leads, but a secret decree I gave to the prince, asking him to pretend to be a mountain bandit, find out the bandits in the northwest, train a new army, and clear all bandits in the northwest." β
"Now that the new army has been trained, and the bandits in Lingwu have also been cleared, but you have framed the prince for robbing the people, and his heart can be punished, and it is not an exaggeration to behead all the doors."
The emperor's words are justified.
No one is powerless to refute it.
Liu Ji, the imperial lieutenant who has not spoken from beginning to end, is also Liu Guifei's father and the emperor's father-in-law.
Just glanced at Zheng Yun, who was struggling on his knees with disdainful eyes.
The heart said: "What a stupid person who doesn't know how to be flexible, he has already secretly explained to his people when he sees the big call today, and he can't come out." β
Even Zhou Fu, who had been demoted by three levels, couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at Zheng Yun at this time.
He really found a pig teammate, but fortunately, the people who had arranged the walk and rumors had already gone to see Hades.
However, the emperor revealed this information, and he had to inform the old man as soon as possible.
It is likely that the emperor will use the new army trained by the crown prince to attack the forces in the northwest.
And the first to bear the brunt is his Zhou family.
Liu Taiwei also has constricted pupils.
What does the emperor mean by doing this?
Could it be that this is a showdown, and we will attack the northwest in the future?
It's just that the emperor is too naΓ―ve?
Think that with the three or four thousand people trained by the prince, you can change the situation in the northwest?
Isn't he afraid of being attacked by other forces?
Let the face of the court that can still be maintained now be lost?
Officials from other forces also speculated about the emperor's intentions, and at the same time decided to report the matter to the family ancestors.
Li Xing was also thoughtful, he always felt that something was wrong.
Jiang Hong did have a little star in his eyes.
The father recognized him, and now he could justifiably lead the soldiers of Woniu Mountain to suppress the bandits.
Let all the mountain bandits and rogues tremble when they hear the name of his prince!
Just when everyone was thinking nonsense, the emperor had already asked Zheng Yun to take him down.
And at this moment, outside the Taiji Palace, a guard was holding a six-hundred-mile expedited military report, shouting while running, Hedong military report, six-hundred-mile expedited.
Urgent military report, no one dares to stop it.
So soon the guards arrived at the Taiji Hall, knelt on the ground respectfully, and handed over the report.
Qin Jin took the military newspaper and trotted to hand it to the emperor.
When Emperor Yuan Kangdi finished reading it, his face instantly became ugly, and he said angrily: "Such a big event, why don't you play it early, now that the anti-thieves are rising and losing Hedong City, they came to report it, and this Hedong governor should be killed." β
