Chapter 180: Death Confesses Guilt
The Empress Dowager wanted to make a clean next decision, but suddenly thought of the words that the little emperor said in front of her that day, so she decided to listen to the little emperor's words first.
Maybe you should really let go and let the little emperor break through on his own, when the little emperor was brought over by the eunuch and palace maid, the queen mother was still uneasy in her heart.
"See Grandmother Royal."
The little emperor saluted one by one, and then stood up, looking at the appearance of his imperial grandmother, he was even more puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has already told the empress dowager about Zhang Zhenglu and Li Ning."
The Empress Dowager is so trusted, Zhang Zhenglu will definitely have inner misfortune, and the heart of interceding for the other party is dead at this moment.
The little emperor suddenly had some regrets, he shouldn't have let the Empress Dowager meddle in this matter, and he did it quietly, maybe he could.
The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the little emperor who didn't speak, and she probably guessed what the little emperor was thinking.
"Your Majesty, although the mourning family is old, they also know that there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers in this world, then it can be called what kind of world it is, Zhang Zhenglu has done such an ugly thing, and the mourning family has no face to keep him, just to protect the face of his other family members."
"Imperial grandmother, my sons don't dare to say that, before Zhang Zhenglu attacked the Jiangshan Society, he really had merit, and I wouldn't have killed him directly, at most he would be punished to a bitter cold place, so that he could realize how bad his behavior was."
The Empress Dowager herself didn't expect that the little emperor would have such a mind and pattern, and she felt even more melancholy and vain at this time.
"The mourning family supported you to the throne, but they have always treated you as a child, and the power is in their own hands, and they are always not at ease with you, for fear that you will make a mistake, but I forgot, as time passes, you have grown up slowly, and many things can have your own choices and behaviors."
At this moment, the little emperor suddenly felt that the Empress Dowager seemed to be much older, and immediately walked over to support the Empress Dowager and slowly sat in his place.
"Imperial grandmother, my brother is thin, you supported me to this position, it is not easy for you, these are all in the heart of Sun Tzu, just did such a thing, it has nothing to do with you, it is just his own lack of heart."
"Alas......"
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh and looked in the direction of the palace gate.
Zhang Zhenglu had already entered the prison at this time.
After being pressed into the prison, he can still be guarded by the people of the Royal Forest Army alone, and only Zhang Zhenglu has this honor.
When Gu Qingshan walked in, he only smelled the smell of wine on Zhang Zhenglu's body, and immediately frowned.
I saw Zhang Zhenglu sitting in the building, and there was a table next to him, and there were some drinks and dishes on it, which didn't look like he had come here to suffer at all, but was a little leisurely and complacent.
It's just that there are some deviations in the plain clothes and the usual gorgeous clothes.
"Master Gu, why are you here today?"
Zhang Zhenglu slowly stood up, looked at Gu Qingshan walking in, and sneered.
"The Empress Dowager specially ordered me to interrogate you."
"I was framed by someone, I don't know anything, the little emperor listened to the greedy rumors, disregarded the face of the old minister, and directly put me in prison, what a lack of affection."
It's all come to this point, and I still don't admit anything, and I try my best to splash dirty water on others.
"There's no one else here now, you don't have to say these high-sounding words, you and I know what you've done."
"I don't know, I'm dedicated to the country, for Dahua, I haven't done anything, I suspect now that you are framing me, so I don't agree with your inquiry about me at all, let the court change people."
Zhang Zhenglu did not have the panic and humility of the prisoners at all, but expressed disdain for Gu Qingshan's words.
"Do you think that the Criminal Department is all your people, and you can escape with another person? During this time, rumors have been rampant, and you probably only care about how to retaliate, and you don't care about these things at all. ”
What..
Zhang Zhenglu paused for a second or two as he walked forward, then continued to walk forward boldly, shrugging his shoulders.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think your people are still fine? The reason why you are so leisurely is that you feel that no one can move you? Do you have a lot of power in your hands, and are you everywhere with people you promote? ”
was told through his heart, and Zhang Zhenglu was not in a hurry.
"So what? As a veteran of the two dynasties, is it a problem for me to promote a little useful? ”
"Absolutely...... But using power for personal gain, that's your fault, it's your crime, you see if there's a problem? If there is no problem, draw a charge, and you will suffer less. ”
Gu Qingshan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then threw it in from the cell.
Zhang Zhenglu took it, which is nothing more than saying that he despised the king, formed a party for personal gain, abused power for personal gain, brutalized the people, and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Take out one by one, it is all a matter that should destroy the nine clans.
"It's all unwarranted, and I will never admit my guilt."
After reading these charges, Zhang Zhenglu let out a sneer and threw away all the papers in his hand.
"You know in your heart that you have not done it yourself, now that you have confessed to this crime, I can still ask for a favor like the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, leave you a whole corpse, and protect your family, if you are obsessed, then when the evidence is full, you will die without disaster. You should know the law of Dahua very well! ”
That's because he knew that Zhang Zhenglu made a decision in his heart, no matter what, this can't be confessed.
"If I really commit any of these sins, it will be a crime of beheading, and you will want to save all my family members for me with just a few words."
"Do you think you can act so recklessly with your back to Liu Jun? Liu Jun is good to your daughter now, but he just wants to win you over and suppress me, when I die, this three-legged scene, once it is broken, do you think Liu Jun will keep you? ”
Unrepentant.
"This official shouldn't have come today, you have to admit this crime clearly or not, and if you go to the prison of the Criminal Department, you will have to suffer some hardships no matter what."
Gu Qingshan, who said this, walked out with his sleeves up.
Zhang Zhenglu looked at Gu Qingshan's back alone in the prison, and his silver teeth were about to shatter.
"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, this is the best daughter red you just wanted, we went and bought you two more jars, you drink quickly."
The two jailers silently opened Zhang Zhenglu's cell door and sent things inside.
