Chapter 358: Everyone pushes the wall
Today, the court will be rested, and the emperor and all officials do not have to go to court.
Before dawn, outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, there were a lot of court officials who were braved by the cold wind and snow to welcome the prime minister to release him from prison.
However, what everyone unexpectedly was that before the good news of the prime minister being released without acquittal, the bad news of beheading and raiding the house came.
Everyone was stunned.
Eunuch Fu entered the prison with the imperial edict.
He waved the Buddha Chen: "Xun Xiuyuan, please accept the order."
…
Eunuch Fu came out of the prison and was surrounded by ministers.
Mr. Yang asked in disbelief: "Master Fu, did you make a mistake? Did Your Majesty really issue an order to execute the Prime Minister? How is that possible?"
Eunuch Fu raised the whisk and quietly separated the hand Yang Ge Lao put on his arm: "The Miscellaneous Family is just a decree. If you have any doubts, go to the palace to find the Supreme Emperor to ask clearly."
After he said that, he left without giving everyone a chance to pester.
Everyone could not believe that the Supreme Emperor would deal with the Supreme Prince Xun so hastyly, and the group rushed to Zhaoming Palace to seek the meeting with the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor specially called Zong Zhengxi over.
Although he is young, he will sooner or later carry this country on his shoulders.
Zong Zhengxi had just finished reading the evidence of Xun Xiangguo''s crimes, and he was so shocked that he couldn''t speak.
His vision is really bad.
How did he not distinguish between loyalty and treacherous at the beginning? He was close to Prime Minister Xun and far away from Lu Yuan, which almost led to a big mistake.
Zong Zhengxi felt so guilty that he couldn''t speak.
He really wanted to ask his father, is he a failed emperor?
But he didn''t have the courage to ask.
The Supreme Emperor glanced at his son who was silent and said earnestly: "Come on your spirit, you are the emperor, and you must not lose the emperor''s dignity in front of ministers."
"My son understands."
Zong Zhengxi put all his emotions back into his heart and tried hard to restore himself to the emperor''s majesty.
The Supreme Emperor said to Eunuch Fu, "Let them come in."
"Yes." Eunuch Fu looked at the gate, "Xuan—My dear masters—"
Everyone hurried into Zhaoyang Palace.
Today there are too many officials who meet the saints, and the warm pavilion is not big enough. The Supreme Emperor and Zong Zhengxi summoned all the civil and military officials in the East Hall.
His eyes swept, and he immediately smiled: "I''m thinking about paying me a favor early in the morning. I''m really interested. Why didn''t Lu Yuan come? Is he not sociable, or is he not as the emperor as me in his heart?"
All civil and military officials were very embarrassed.
They did not come to the palace to pay tribute, but came to plead for the Prime Minister Xun. At least half of the officials also came to hear the news from the street, fearing that they would not be able to catch up with the fun.
Lu Yuan did not come, which doesn’t happen to mean that he and the prime minister are not on the same path?
Say Cao Cao arrived.
Lu Yuan is "coming".
He had already entered the palace, and the evidence of the prime minister''s crime was presented to the Supreme Emperor. He deliberately walked around and pretended to be there.
"I, please see the Supreme Emperor, please see Your Majesty."
Lu Yuan treated the courtesy in a regular manner.
I am used to seeing his arrogant and domineering appearance. I have restrained so much recently, but it makes people uncomfortable.
"Flat."
The Supreme Emperor raised his hand.
Lu Yuan stood up straight and looked at the civil and military officials with some surprise: "Are you all here for the affairs of Prime Minister Xun?"
Yang Ge Lao was shocked: "So are you?"
"yes."
Lu Yuan generously admitted, "He was sentenced to beheading his home. I am here to praise the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty for being aware of his thoughts and to eliminate the disaster for the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Mr. Yang choked hard.
A grandmaster, it’s okay if he can’t beat the censor with firecrackers. Even a treacherous slander like Lu Yuan can’t win, it’s so embarrassing!
Old Yang Ge shook his sleeves angrily and stopped paying attention to Lu Yuan. He turned to the Supreme Emperor and Zong Zhengxi and said, "Your Majesty, I don''t know what crime the Prime Minister has committed. Is the house going to be scouted and beheaded?"
The Supreme Emperor smiled and said, "I have all my blessings and deeds, show them the evidence of the prime minister''s crime!"
Eunuch Fu walked towards civil and military officials with a large pile of evidence of crime on a tray.
Everyone began to circulate.
Lu Yuan reminded the old master Yang on the side: "Be gentle, you will be punished if you destroy the evidence. If you want to help the prime minister get rid of the crime, you won''t use such a stupid method. Do you need this to teach you how many tricks?"
Yang Ge was so angry that he was overwhelmed.
The traitor is as shameless as King Miao!
"Shangshu Huo, look hurry up, wait behind you."
"Mr. Li, I took it down."
The Minister of Rites, who just wanted to make up for the numbers and change his power, said it was very unfair.
Shu Huo’s expression was very solemn.
Lu Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "Looking so carefully, can you be looking for whether he was written on it?"
Huo Shangshu glared at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It''s just a joke, don''t take it to heart, otherwise Mr. Huo would seem guilty."
Huo Shangshu circulated the booklet in his hand to the Minister of Rites with a slight expression.
Minister of Rites: Thank you, no need.
"These are only some evidence of crimes, and there are still many... I haven''t found it, maybe the house can be raided out."
Lu Yuan said this on purpose, testing everyone''s reaction.
Sure enough, the officials who did not find themselves in the evidence of guilt were relieved at first, and after hearing Lu Yuan''s words, they raised their hearts to their throats.
Lu Yuan saw it, and the Supreme Emperor also saw it.
Although Zong Zhengxi was not as vicious as the two of them, he also noticed that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Old Yang, it''s hot, do you want to wipe your sweat?"
Mr. Yang said embarrassedly: "No, no need."
Shangshu Huo said seriously: "I don''t know where these evidences come from? Has anyone interfered with it and deliberately framed the prime minister? The prime minister is loyal to the court. I don''t believe that he will collude with the top ten princes, use war to support the war, raise private troops, and make false military achievements."
Old Master Yang said: "That''s right, even the Grand Governor of the Mainland can win a battle, so what''s wrong with the Prime Minister? According to what I see, I''m afraid that someone is dissatisfied with being returned to the court by the Prime Minister and wants to use despicable means to eliminate dissidents!"
The Supreme Emperor guessed that someone would question the authenticity of the evidence.
The Supreme Emperor said seriously: "I have my own method. I will come here to Xuanjiu and the Taifu entered the palace to appraise the handwriting."
The two are the most knowledgeable people in the Great Zhou Dynasty and have profound attainments in calligraphy.
The Supreme Emperor ordered people to take the handwritten letters of the ten princes and compare them with the handwriting in the secret letter.
Finally, it was confirmed that the secret letters with the prime minister were indeed the handwriting of the top ten princes.
Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Emperor took out another killer weapon - two secret letters from the Prime Minister who asked Xun Qi to send his troops to the frontier, one was to invite the ten princes to send troops, and the other was to ask the border army to launch a mutiny.
"It''s the handwriting of the prime minister."
Lin Jijiu said.
The tutor also nodded.
If the secret letters of the first ten princes can be pushed to the ten princes, saying that they deliberately framed the prime minister, then the handwritten letters of Prime Minister Xun launched a mutiny are irrefutable ironclad evidence.
I have done so much before, and I have pushed the prime minister into a desperate situation step by step, all for this handwritten letter sent to him to Huangquan.
The risk of doing so is actually huge.
Any time Xun Qi doesn’t trust the prime minister so much, any time Xun Liu is not saved, any time Xun Qi is not shaken...
No matter how wrong you make a mistake, you will not get this secret letter.
For a moment, there was no sound in the East Palace.
It seems that Xun Xiangguo''s minions were killed off guard.
Lu Yuan struck while the iron was hot: "Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, my grandfather''s 100,000 mysterious troops have come out of Miaojiang. On the way to join them, my grandfather will be able to reach the southwest border within five days. In addition, I also sent a letter to Zhang Feihu, asking him to lead the soldiers of the three armies to send troops to the west city. The 200,000 troops are at the city. I don''t believe that I can''t take the thief from the frontier!"
Zhang Feihu had just made great achievements in military affairs, and the soldiers of Yumen Pass were at a time when their morale was high.
If you add Miaojiang’s 100,000 mysterious troops, you don’t need to think about this battle and you will know that there is at least 70% or 80% chance of winning.
The Minister of Rites stroked his beard and said, "The army in Miaojiang is good at gu. I heard that a bottle of gu worms was put down, but I don''t know whether it is true or false."
Lu Yuan''s face remained unchanged: "It''s true."
Shangshu Huo said: "I have never heard of the so-called mysterious teacher in Miaojiang."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You have heard of it now, and you will see it soon. I hope you will be the party blessed by my grandfather''s mysterious army, not the thief who was attacked!"
The first step is to show evidence of the crime and make the master famous.
Step 2: Boasting about strength and shake your intentions.
Next is the last and most important step.
"The defeat of Xun''s country is decided, but I don''t know how many gangs he has in the court. This governor likes to start killings, and would rather kill one hundred by mistake than let one go. However, the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty are benevolent kings and are not willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If all the great masters can work together to eliminate evil and evil for the court and the people, they will definitely be able to make more achievements and leave their reputation in history!"
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, the East Palace was silent again.
What he said was not to redeem his sins, but to add more achievements. He intended to tell everyone that as long as he abandons darkness and turns to light, he can not only save his life, but also increase his title.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "When it comes to rewarding merits, the first one is always the first to be the best."
"The Prime Minister Xun has committed many crimes and is difficult to write. I beg the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty to punish him more severely!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled even more: "Old Master Yang."
Even Lu Yuan did not expect that the first person to denounce Xun Xiangguo would be Yang Ge Lao.
This was a hearty plot, and Lu Yuan gave everyone two choices: either the prime minister dies, and they live; or the prime minister dies, and they die with the prime minister.
Since the prime minister is going to die in the end, why not use the prime minister''s death to fulfill their lives?
If there was no stigma of cruelty and incorruptcy over the years, if there was no victory in the border guards a year ago, if there was no stirring up trouble by King Miao, if there was no major fallout from the prime minister, and the detention of this month.
Lu Yuan is afraid that he can''t scare them today.
Lu Yuan started playing this move very early.
-
The Ministry of Justice Prison.
Shangshu Xing and Mr. Hu sorted out the evidence of crime in the duty room.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past and entered the depths of the prison. He opened the thick iron door and entered the innermost cell.
"Lord, the big thing is wrong. The news of the border affairs leaked. The ministers petitioned, please ask the Emperor to punish you! The beheading of Caishikou, which was originally scheduled to be three days later, was changed to today!"
The secret guard said anxiously, "Lord, run away quickly!"
