Chapter 61: Imprisoned for redress

Zhao Hui was called by the queen early in the morning.

The queen looked at Zhao Hui carefully, and said with a smile: "My Hui'er is really getting more and more beautiful, she is a big girl." ”

Zhao Hui became shy, blushed and said, "Queen Mother." ”

The queen looked at her and said, "It's time to get married." ”

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, then her face turned a little pale, and she said: "Queen Mother, the son doesn't want to get married, and I want to accompany you and my father more." ”

"Really, your father still wants to marry you to that kid of the Zhuo family, since you don't want to, then forget it. The queen said deliberately.

"Ah, who are you talking about?" Zhao Hui was a little dumbfounded, and she didn't react yet.

"Forget it, since you don't want to, don't worry about it. The queen said.

Zhao Hui was anxious this time, and hurriedly grabbed the queen's arm and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother." ”

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, I know that the female university is not in the middle." ”

Zhao Hui knew that it was the queen mother who teased her, lying in her arms and spoiling, her heart was bubbling beautifully, and she was sweet.

After Zhuo Yi said goodbye to his mother, he rushed to the palace and asked to meet the saint at the gate of the palace.

The eunuch passed the request.

Emperor Zhao nodded and said, "Xuan." ”

When Zhuo Quan heard that Zhuo Yi was coming, he was secretly anxious, knowing that he might come this time to avenge Peng's grievances.

Zhuo Yi arrived at the Jinluan Palace, Zhuo Yi knelt down and bowed and sang: "Chen Zhuo Yi greets Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "I heard that you were severely injured and had amnesia before, are you all right now?"

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and the minister has recovered. ”

Zhao Huang said with a smile: "Okay, it's good to be healed, and you should pay more attention to your body in the future." ”

When Zhuo Yi heard this, he said, "Your Majesty cares about my body." But he still said: "Thank you for your concern, and the ministers will pay more attention." ”

Zhuo Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

When Zhuo Quan heard this, he said secretly: "It's not good." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Yi and said, "Oh, something is coming." ”

Zhuo Quan opened his mouth and said: "What can you do to play Your Majesty, don't hurry up and retreat." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Quan and said, "Eh, what's the matter, but it's okay to say it." ”

Zhuo Yi looked at Zhuo Quan, and saw that Zhuo Quan was winking at him, so he didn't say anything. He struggled for a moment and said, "The minister wants to sue Fang Zhao, the general of the ancient monument, as the general who deliberately murdered him." ”

The ministers were all shocked when they heard this, Zhuo Quan frowned, and sighed helplessly.

Emperor Zhao was also stunned when he heard this, then frowned slightly, and said, "I'll talk about this matter later." ”

An old minister with a gray beard stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought that there must be something strange in the matter of the general, but now that Captain Zhuo has returned, he is the person who knows the matter best, why not listen to him tell him what is going on? It is not a trivial matter for an important minister of a country to be framed at will." ”

As soon as the old minister said, two more people stood up to reconsider.

Emperor Zhao frowned, very angry in his heart, he didn't want to mention it again about Ji Peng, but someone would always mention it, which made him upset. But there was no way, so he asked: "Okay, since you said that Fang Zhao was a deliberate murderer general, there is evidence." ”

Zhuo Yi looked up at Emperor Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is the evidence, and the minister is there the whole time." ”

Emperor Zhao didn't want to dwell too much on this, and said, "Okay, then tell me what's going on?"

Zhuo Yi told all the situations of the first battle in the North Entrance that year. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were very shocked, and they couldn't imagine that a generation of military gods would die like this.

The old minister before said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is clearly a murder, a generation of military gods actually died under such calculations, if you can't give an explanation to the world, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world." ”

The two ministers who had previously reconsidered also fell to their knees and said loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhuo Quan and several other ministers stood up and said that they would investigate the matter thoroughly.

Emperor Zhao had a headache when he saw these three ministers, and they had to mix everything. But they were ministers, and they couldn't really do anything to them, and just when they were helpless, a voice sounded.

"That's just your words. ”

With the words, Uncle Lian Zhen stood up.

Zhao Huang saw that Lian Zhen stood up, as if he had something to say, and asked, "Lian Aiqing seems to have something to say?"

Lian Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has received a recital from General Fang, according to General Fang's words, the enemy was chasing too closely at that time, and he was worried that opening the city gate would give the enemy a chance, so he reluctantly did not open the city gate and held the city." Later, the enemy had no choice but to retreat, and he had a meritorious service to the country. As for the general, he completely disrespected the holy will, and only then did he fall for the enemy's tricks by sending troops privately, and I hope that His Majesty will see clearly. As he spoke, he took out a copy of the notebook and handed it over.

Zhuo Yi's eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty is clear, Weichen has no trace of concealment, there are still many soldiers in the First World War, as long as they are all recruited to confront each other, I believe the truth will be revealed." ”

Lian Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Everyone knows that they are deeply favored by the general, so they will naturally speak for him. I have a few things to ask you, Captain Zhuo. ”

Zhuo Yi knew that his affairs were coming, from the moment he said that, he didn't think about dodging, what should come would come sooner or later, rather than being manipulated, it was better to give it a go.

Lian Zhen said: "In the first battle of Yuncheng, I heard General Shen say that you decided to give up Yuncheng and evacuate in advance, right?"

Zhuo Yi nodded and said: "I mentioned it, but at that time, the general of Yuncheng was General Shen Liang Shen, I can't be the master of this matter, at that time, Yuncheng had been guarding the city for many days without seeing reinforcements, and there were only three thousand guards in the city, how to resist hundreds of thousands of troops, it was just a sacrifice in vain." ”

"It doesn't matter if I send reinforcements or not, what you have to do is to carry out the order. Okay, Yuncheng is even Shen Liang's dereliction of duty. What about the Xunyang County Order?" Lian Zhen asked with a sneer.

When the ministers heard this, they all started to talk about it, and they didn't understand what this Xunyang County order had to do with Captain Zhuo.

Emperor Zhao also looked puzzled and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhuo Yi said: "Xunyang County Ling participated in and connived at his nephew's human trafficking, and secretly abducted and trafficked a large number of women and children on the island in the lake outside Maple Town, which is a heinous crime. At that time, we went up to check and found that there were many disabled children. The traffickers maimed children who could not be sold and sent them out to beg in a horrific manner. What's even bloodier is that those children are boiled into medicine and sold, and some people think that if they eat it, they will be immortal. ”

The ministers of the court and the central government were terrified when they heard this, and Emperor Zhao was also full of anger, and shouted: "This kind of person should be cut with a thousand knives." ”

The ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Lian Zhen said: "Yes, this kind of person really deserves to die, but he is an official of the imperial court, and his death should also be reviewed by the Criminal Department, and then executed, not killed by you privately." Anyway, he is dead now and has no proof, so naturally let you do it. ”

There was a silence in the court, and Emperor Zhao also woke up from his anger, looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "You killed the Xunyang County Order before?"

Lian Zhen said: "Your Majesty, I have the wanted portraits of several people here. He said as he pulled out several wanted warrants from his body.

Emperor Zhao asked Wang Rui, the eunuch next to him, to get it, he read them one by one, and then threw the wanted notice at Zhuo Yi, and said angrily: "You are such a big dog, you dare to kill the court officials privately." ”

Zhuo Yi said: "Weichen knows that he ignores the law and is willing to be punished. I just beg His Majesty to investigate the murder of the General and give him justice. ”

Zhuo Quan also hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is the minister who is guilty, and the minister has no way to discipline him, if His Majesty wants to punish him, he will punish the minister." ”

Zhuo Yi looked at his father and said, "Father, you don't have to bear the blame for me, I will bear what I do by myself." ”

"Hmph, it's time to be tough, where are your accomplices?" Zhao Huang said angrily.

Before Zhuo Yi could reply, Lian Zhen said impatiently: "Someone saw them enter Zhuo's Mansion together. ”

The emperor shook his hand and said, "Where are the Praetorian Guards?"

At the entrance of the court, a Wei Wuzi wearing armor and a knife entered the main hall, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said: "The Praetorian Guards are here."

The emperor threw out the wanted warrant and said, "Go to Zhuo's Mansion immediately and arrest the remaining people one by one." ”

Wei Wuzi was Lin Feng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he turned around and led the Praetorian Guard towards Zhuo's Mansion.

Lin Feng divided the Praetorian Guards into two pairs and said, "One pair will surround Zhuo's Mansion for me, and I will not let go of the birds all the time." The second team went in with me. After speaking, he took the lead in rushing towards Zhuo's mansion, and the doorman at the door wanted to stop him and was directly pushed open.

Ding Lan didn't know why, looking at the forbidden army who broke into his home, he only felt panicked in his heart. Hurriedly looked at Steward Liu and asked, "Steward Liu, where is Yi'er?"

Steward Liu was also panicked and said, "The young master was taken to the early dynasty by the master." ”

Ding Lan looked at Lin Feng and asked, "General Lin, why did you trespass on your private house?"

Lin Feng took out the emperor's warrant and said, "I am ordered by His Majesty to search the Zhuo Mansion and arrest the fugitives, and no one shall stop me. ”

The leader of the forbidden army is naturally not a stupid person, and he also knows that the emperor values Zhuo Quan, but he does not dare to offend Ding Lan. So he whispered to Ding Lan: "Mrs. Zhuo, I am also acting on orders, I am really offended, I will make amends another day." ”

Ding Lan only felt uneasy in his heart, and asked, "You said that you were arresting fugitives, where did my Zhuo family come from?"

Lin Feng took out the wanted warrant on his body and handed it to Ding Lan and said, "It's these people, someone saw them entering and leaving Zhuo's mansion with Gongzi Zhuo. Does Madame know?"

Ding Lan glanced at it, was shocked, and then handed the wanted warrant to Lin Feng and said, "These people are the fugitives you said?"

"Yes, if Madame knows, please tell me, and if I take someone down, I can go back to my life. Lin Feng said.

Ding Lan let out a long breath and said, "They have already left, I don't know where they went." ”

After Lin Feng searched for a while, he didn't find anyone, so he arrested a few people, took out the portraits of Zhang Tingyu and a few people and asked, "What about these people?"

The servant was terrified and said, "They have left in the morning." ”

After Lin Feng confirmed it several times, he collected his troops and returned to the palace to report to the emperor.

After talking to Zhuo Yi, Zhang Tingyu took his junior brothers and sisters, Da Niu and Kong Chao out of the city secretly.

Ji Hongxiu asked, "Senior brother, where are we going?"

Deng Junming was also very strange, because Zhang Tingyu did not tell several people the reason for their sudden departure.

Zhang Tingyu said: "There is danger in the city, let's avoid it for a while." ”

Ji Hongxiu asked, "Is there danger?

Deng Junming thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the matter of the Xunyang County Order?

Zhang Tingyu nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Ji Hongxiu asked, "What about Senior Brother Zhuo?" is he okay?"

Deng Junming said: "He is the son of General Zhuo, there should be nothing wrong, right?"

Zhang Tingyu shook his head, his face was a little solemn, and he said with some worry: "You stay outside the city for the time being, and I will go into the city to investigate." ”

Ji Hongxiu hurriedly said: "I'll go too." ”

Zhang Tingyu looked at her and said, "No, you all stay here with Da Niu and Brother Kong, and I will come back soon." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at Lin Feng, who was returning empty-handed, sneered at Zhuo Yi, and said angrily: "It seems that you want to bear it alone, then good, I will satisfy you." Come, put him in prison for me. ”

Zhuo Yi didn't resist, but said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to be punished, and please ask Your Majesty to be clear, and the general will be fair, he was framed." ”

At the sound of his own shouts, he was taken into the prison by the Praetorian Guards.

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Quan and said, "Zhuo Quan has no way to teach his son. "He originally wanted to demote Zhuo Quan and send him to guard the city gates. After thinking about it, he might have to reuse him next, so he changed his words and said: "Punish me for a year, and reflect on it at home." ”

The ministers had a look of surprise, and Lian Zhen was also surprised, the emperor raised it so high, and then put it down gently, it seems that he wants to reuse the Zhuo family. He secretly said in his heart: "It seems that that kid can't die this time, hmph, he can't die, I want you to shed your skin." Then he said, "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to hand him over to the Criminal Department for trial and ask about the whereabouts of his accomplices." ”

Song Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this group of people is lawless and kills the officials of the court at will, obviously they do not put the court and Your Majesty in their eyes, and they are different from the traitors. The prestige of the court cannot be trampled on, the law of the court cannot be provoked, and not killing is not enough to demonstrate the prestige of His Majesty. ”

The squire Ning Zeyi also followed closely and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhuo Yi knows the law and violates the law, and he should be guilty of one more degree." Harboring accomplices is even more of a crime. ”

The emperor was hot-headed by what they said, and said: "Okay, I will hand Zhuo Yi over to the Criminal Department for trial, and we must find out the whereabouts of his accomplices." ”

Zhang Tingyu returned to the city and went to the Zhuo family first, and saw that everyone in the Zhuo family was panicked. found Mother Zhuo and Steward Liu, who were about to go out, and asked, "Auntie, Steward Liu, what's going on?"

Ding Lan saw that it was Zhang Tingyu and said, "Zhang Gongzi, didn't you just leave?"

"Well, I'm not at ease, come back and take a look. Zhang Tingyu replied.

Ding Lan pulled Zhang Tingyu and said nervously: "The Praetorian Guards are here, and they are going to arrest you." What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Tingyu said secretly: "It seems that it has been exposed." So he gave a general account of the situation in Maple Leaf Town.

Ding Lan's face was full of anger when she heard this, but she also knew what the consequences of killing the imperial court officials without permission were, so she hurriedly said: "Since you have already killed, then you should leave quickly, the farther you go, the better." ”

Zhang Tingyu comforted: "I can't rest assured about Senior Brother Zhuo's situation, how can I just leave." ”

Ding Lan immediately said, "What about your junior brother, junior sister?"

Zhang Tingyu said: "I let them go out of the city and hide. ”

"There may be people in the house, you have to be careful these days. Ding Lan admonished.

Zhang Tingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, aunt, we will pay attention, I'll go and find out the news first." ”

When the morning dynasty ended, Zhuo Quan, who was tired, came back with heavy legs. His brow furrowed, a little angry, and a little worried.
