"Didn't you say that people hadn't found it yet? Why do you have to act now? ”

The Emperor asked suspiciously.

Ji Youze looked at Ji Youzhi, "Come on!" ”

Ji Youzhi touched his nose, "Compared to other people, the younger brother listens to the words of the elder brother, what is my life?" I look like a younger brother! ”

Ji Youze glared at him.

"If you don't want to say it, you can go!"

Ji Youzhi: "......"

It's really rare for my brother to do something like him!

"Didn't I say it was okay?"

Ji Youzhi muttered.

"Your Majesty knows, those who do our job know that they are boiling eagles, interrogating prisoners for several days in a row and not letting them sleep, and they can't bear it in the back, as long as we ask something critical, look at what they say, and check and interrogate in many ways, we can find a breakthrough."

The emperor nodded, "That's right, now we use this method to interrogate Lu Zezhong, Lin Xiang and others!" ”

Ji Youzhi continued to explain, "But it's not enough to boil the eagle, we also have to know some of the process of the other party's crime or the process of deducing the other party's crime, so we have to tell them stories little by little when they can't bear it!" ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, "This method is a second!" Not to mention anything else, Lu Zezhong, a wolf with ambition, we know that he and Princess Qing gave birth to Lu Yunsheng, a sinister species, and we also know his plans, so we have to make good use of this trick! ”

Ji Youzhi nodded and continued, "We are not only boiling eagles for the people locked inside, we are also boiling up the people outside, boiling the other party's criminal accomplices, and when they are anxious and worried, they are desperate and have no news, we find them, casually say something we know, make up some ambiguous answers, When the time comes, even if the mastermind who is locked up doesn't recruit anything, we can pinch his accomplices to death, and we can also make them confess the mastermind." ”

The emperor was overjoyed, and circled around the side hall with joy, "That's right, good, very good, I see, the clever use of your assassination plan is actually here, I thought you were just trying to judge Lu Zezhong, but I didn't expect you to have the intention of killing Lu Zezhong's henchmen in Beijing!" ”

"But Your Majesty, if we do this, it would be good if we could really catch them all, in case we fail......"

Ji Youze reminded.

"Youze, I believe in Youzhi, when it comes to arresting criminals and finding out the truth of the case, he has never disappointed me!"

The emperor gave Ji Youzhi the greatest right because he believed in Ji Youzhi.

"Good! Since His Majesty believes in him so much, then we have to act separately, you have already asked Zhenguo Gong to go out of the city to find Prince Yan, and seconded half of the Praetorian Guards to enter the city into pieces, and now it is time for them to play a big role. ”

As soon as Ji Youze said this, Ji Youzhi nodded and said, "You can order Zhenguo Gong to arrest everyone in the Li family, especially the men over fifty years old, and put them in prison!" ”

"Why over fifty?"

The emperor asked.

"To have prestige in the Li family, first of all, you have to have a high seniority, this person is so good at planning, which shows that his knowledge is not bad, and he is good at learning but did not participate in the imperial examination of my dynasty!

It means that he is older, or that he has the fame of the previous dynasty, so if the minister judges the other party by the first one, he is at least fifty years old, after all, even if he participates in the imperial examination and wins the first place, he will not have a few years to enter the official career! ”

"As for the second one, it's better to explain, his knowledge is very good, but he can't participate in the scientific expedition in my dynasty!"

"Can't you participate in the scientific expedition in my court?"

The emperor and Ji Youze repeated his words, and suddenly, Ji Youze exclaimed, "Unless he is a former dynasty scholar!" ”

Ji Youzhi nodded, "That's what I thought!" ”

Emperor: "Which one do you prefer more?" ”

"There are also scholars of the former dynasty who continue to be prominent in our dynasty, although they are not allowed to be reused, but they are marginalized, or they are released as prefects, and there are also prefects.

But the officials of the previous dynasty continue to be used in our current dynasty, and there are also those who slowly withdraw from the imperial court's political affairs, and they can all return to their hometowns with honor, or there are not a few who live in Beijing, if the other party is really a scholar of the previous dynasty, why not go out? ”

Ji Youze didn't care about anything else, and sat directly on the Taishi's chair and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he jerked to his feet.

"I see!"

Ji Youzhi and the emperor looked at him, "You know, oh, you don't know what?" ”

Ji Youze said: "This one of the Li family was either very famous and famous in the previous dynasty, or he had some trouble with the Taizu or the first emperor of our dynasty in the previous dynasty, and he was unwilling to be the wind music of our dynasty, or he had an enmity with the monarch of our dynasty, so he hid."

And later, for the sake of the family's great cause, he had to hide behind and plan for the children of the family! ”

Ji Youze's speculation is a bit far-fetched in the eyes of the emperor and Ji Youzhi.

"It's all just speculation now, but according to me, Yuzawa's inference is close to the truth."

As soon as the emperor said this, Ji Youzhi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! Outside the palace, we can send a message to the Zhenguo Gong and let the Zhenguo Gong act. ”

The Emperor nodded, "Good! Then he waved his hand and hurriedly wrote an edict to let the dark guard take him out of the palace.

Seeing that the emperor had written an edict to the Duke of Zhenguo, Ji Youze proposed, "Does Your Majesty want Prince Yan to enter the palace to accompany him?" ”

Prince Yan, when the emperor first ascended to the throne, he was not crowned prince, just an ordinary prince.

Later, after he merged his patrol army into the Praetorian Guard, the emperor inspected the Xishan camp twice, and then crowned him Prince Yan!

The main reason why he was crowned Prince Yan was that he heard that the royal family over there in Xiling also had a reputation king, and the emperor knew that the honor king always scolded Xiling for this, so he took the opportunity to change the title!

"Prince Yan enters the palace at this time, I'm afraid it will make people outside panic even more."

"If Prince Yan doesn't enter the palace and there are not enough people, Your Majesty wants to reuse Long Wu?"

The emperor suddenly saw a hint of purity in Ji Youze's eyes! ”

Seeing his familiar gaze, the emperor's heart was at ease.

"What's bad in your heart?"

Ji Youze still said expressionlessly: "Let the palace let Longwu act, and Prince Xuanyan will enter the palace to escort!" ”

The emperor and Ji Youzhi were puzzled and asked him, "Why do you have to be escorted by Prince Xuanyan?" ”

"Lu Zezhong has not gone out since he entered the imperial study, and the people outside have never gotten the news of the imperial study, Prince Yan has entered the palace, what do we want to say?

When the time comes, his comrades outside will definitely be in chaos! ”

The emperor gave him a thumbs up! So he wrote the holy decree of Prince Xuanyan to enter the palace!

The dark guard quietly left the palace.

Ji Youzhi is a little autistic, obviously he is the elder brother, he should be the smart one!

"Now, shouldn't we go tell them stories?"

The emperor was in a good mood, he figured everything out, and with a back hand, he couldn't help but get excited.

"The second watch day is a good time to tell a story!"

Looking at the sky outside, Ji Youze became excited.

"Let's go!"

On the second watch, the guards in the imperial study sounded snoring, Lin Xiang and Lu Zezhong were a little drowsy, but the two of them were weak-hearted, so they didn't dare to sleep.

Hearing Song Xiang's snoring, Lin Xiang's old face turned the color of pig liver.

"This idiot!"

Lin Xiang was so angry that he scolded angrily.

Lu Zezhong said, "At this time, he can still sleep, and he is not afraid of losing his head at all!" ”

"I've never done anything bad in Xia, why be afraid of losing your head, it's Lu Shangshu, I'm afraid your head will soon be lost, right?"

is an official in the court, and he has reached the status of the prime minister on the left and right, who doesn't have a few eyeliner in the palace?

If this relationship can be handled, there is no need to develop, and naturally someone will give them a look.

is like Father-in-law Ling, he once received the favor of Song Xiang, so this time, he passed the news to him.

Good guy, he couldn't have imagined that Lu Zezhong would be so bold that he would dare to disturb the royal family!

"Song Xiang, who are you referring to Sang scolding Huai? Whoever kneels here is not clean! ”

Lu Zezhong said angrily.

"Even if I am not clean, I will not be unclean enough to disturb the innocence of the royal family, the mistakes I made are far from reaching the point of losing my head, but you Lu Shangshu, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and one of the six departments of the imperial court, are in charge of the economic lifeline of our dynasty, and the old man really didn't expect that you would do such a rebellious thing!"

"You...... You, you, you...... How do you know this? ”

Lu Zezhong was stunned, and for a while, it was like his brain was starved of oxygen, and there was no room for self-thinking.

"It's this rhetorical question that directly confirms his charges."

Lin Xiang was stunned, and Song Xiang was even more surprised.

They all couldn't help but look at the emperor who came in from the side hall, Ji Youzhi, and Ji Youze!

These three must have heard what they just said!

The emperor sat high, Lu Zezhong was already trembling, kneeling on the ground and knocking his head on the ground, the cold sweat on his forehead layer by layer.

"I thought this matter would be very secret, but I didn't expect Song Xiang to know, so Song Xiang and Lin Xiang don't have to avoid it, let's listen to how Lu Zezhong started plotting to steal my Korean throne from twenty years ago!"

"Ah......h

Lin Xiang and Song Xiang couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and their faces were full of terrifying expressions.

"What's the matter? You are his accomplices! He didn't tell you that he wanted to usurp the throne? ”

When the emperor saw the expressions on the faces of Lin Xiang and Song Xiang, he couldn't help but be happy.

Lin Xiang hurriedly knelt down to express his loyalty and said, "The minister should die, the minister has been loyal to His Majesty all these years, if he really makes a mistake, the only thing is to use people inappropriately."

But to say that the minister and Lu Zezhong are in the same stream and want to seek to usurp the throne, it is absolutely impossible! ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "When I first ascended to the great treasure, the first time I opened Enke, the first champion I appointed, you figured out my thoughts, left people in the capital, and within a few years did it, and became an important member of Zhongshu Province, you tell me, who took your path?" ”

When Lin Xiang thought that it was time to interrogate Lu Zezhong's case of rebellion, the emperor directly asked him who took his path when Li Xu's official position was held, which undoubtedly told him that the emperor had already mastered everything about him.

It was not that he didn't know that the officials of the DPRK and China were in a relationship and sought a way out, but when he saw Li Xu's secret letters and the box of gold, he was shocked that this matter had become unimaginably serious.

"Your Majesty! The ministers employ people, promote people, never accept people's benefits, let alone form a party for personal gain, even Lu Shangshu intends to rebel, and the ministers don't know! ”

The emperor looked at Lin Xiang, who was kneeling below, a lot of age, trembling and trembling, and sighed in his heart, where is his usual high-spirited appearance in the court?

"I already know everything about you, and I already have evidence, and I'll settle accounts with you later!"

"Your Majesty! The minister is wronged! ”

The emperor didn't give Lin Xiang a chance to continue!

He patted the royal case and said angrily, "If you are unjust, you will speak with evidence in the future, and now I want to interrogate Lu Zezhong's case of plotting to usurp the throne, if you really did not participate, I will definitely return your innocence, but if the result of my interrogation is that you are also involved, I will not spare it!" ”

"Yes! The minister can stand the test of His Majesty! ”

Lin Xiang's solemnity deducted the emperor's head.

The emperor didn't let him get up with a serious face, he still let him kneel, and his eyes looked at Ji Youzhi!

They all walked a little bit, walked in front of Lu Zezhong and Lin Yu, looked at them and thought about it, frowned and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Song Xiang, but what Song Xiang said just now, it is obvious that he knows a lot!" ”

Song Xiang was shocked when he heard this, and he was quick to spit out just now, so he stirred himself in.

What to do?

If you say it, you will definitely fall into the injustice of Father-in-law Liu, if you don't say it, even if you are lucky to escape this time, you will lose the emperor's heart later.

"I ...... I was handed the news by someone, so I only knew about Lu Shangshu! ”

The emperor asked, "Who gave you the news?" ”

"Song Yuan, Song Yuan, you are really bold! Eyeliner can be inserted into my imperial study! ”

The emperor was furious and glanced at Ji Youze, "Write it down!" ”

Ji Youze nodded.

Originally, they weren't sure who Gonggong Ling was, and whether he had delivered the news outside the palace, but they didn't expect it......

"Your Majesty! This is none of Grandpa Ling's business!

Your Majesty! The minister should die Your Majesty, Gonggong Ling is not the eyeliner of the minister, Your Majesty, the minister should die, the minister dares to act in this matter, Gonggong Ling has mentioned a sentence or two to the minister, but he is really loyal to His Majesty, he is not the eyeliner of the minister, please be gracious to Your Majesty! ”

Ji Youze stood aside and contemplated, it seemed that Gonggong Ling was really not Song Xiang's person.

So is there or is he suspicious?

"Song Xiang doesn't need to be so anxious, Your Majesty has your own judgment, and then Your Majesty wants to interrogate Lu Zezhong's rebellion case, do you want to leave, or stay and hear the trial together?"
