Chapter 670 Three in One(2/2)
But when the man raised his head, he still couldn't see the face covered under the big beard.
Emperor Yongkang held the note in his hand, knowing it, but he didn't rush to open it and read it. Instead, he asked Xue Heng: "Who are you? Who are you going to sue when you beat Dengwen drum?"
Xue Heng looked at Chu Yuan: "Reply to Your Majesty, Xue Heng, a wise man, will sue the Prime Minister Chu Yuan."
What?
Who is the sue? It seems that I didn't hear it clearly.
Everyone in the hall, who had their heads hanging down, raised their heads in surprise and did not come to their senses for a moment.
Chu Yuan was startled, looked at Xue Heng carefully, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, frowned and bowed, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know this person."
Everyone looked upwards, but saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time. He held the note in his hand and did not open it for a long time. Instead, he was in his hand, looking very hesitant. When everyone in the hall, including Chu Yuan and Xue Heng, was a little relieved, Emperor Yongkang sighed, his voice seemed to be stern: "Chu Aiqing has been an old minister of three dynasties. He is also a loyal and important minister left by the late emperor. I... I really can't bear it..." Speaking of this
Inside, the voice was actually choked. He held the note in his hand, "I won't open it for now! I just want to hear the truth from you, my dear, but have you done anything to sorry for me, Dazhou. As long as it is the truth, I... open the net. I can't take the old minister before my father's body is cold... This is to make the people of the world feel disappointed! In front of everyone, you can't say, you can go to the back hall with me, but our king and minister... okay?"
His sincere heart towards the ministers immediately made the ministers standing below red. How could this kind of protection not move people?
A hint of anxiety flashed across Fang Zhao's face, and he couldn't help but look at Xue Heng. However, when Xue Heng saw that he was conscious of his urge to be calm, he barely suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. Xue Heng sighed in his heart, his cousin and brother-in-law are really not an official. Who is standing here is not a human sperm? The emperor can act, can the ministers below not cooperate with the emperor to act? Such a drama can't even deceive the ghost, but they are going to deceive people. His cousin really believed it.
He thought so in his heart, and a little resentment and anxiety appeared on his face.
The Jing'an Hou who was standing on the side glanced around Fang Zhao and Xue Heng, and then he immediately took it back. This was getting more and more interesting.
Chu Yuan was disgusted by the emperor's behavior. His expression suddenly became dark, his eyes were not only red, but tears also flowed down his cheeks covered with gullies: "Old minister... has nothing to say. The old minister has worked diligently for forty years... Your Majesty asked, which made the old minister feel ashamed. It made Your Majesty have doubts about the old minister's heart. This is the fault of the old minister!"
As he said that, he slowly knelt down, "The old minister does not defend himself, the old minister is waiting to take the crime!"
Xue Heng held his hand in a sudden. After all, Prime Minister Chu, he was so clever. He dared to beat the drum and just after the emperor showed his intention to move him, then, without any real evidence, he would not have such courage. Those who were determined to seize the opportunity to take him down must have the ability to die. He knew that he was doomed, so he simply kept silent and looked aggrieved.
This is not a clear way to tell the world that the emperor would confess whatever charge he wanted. Instead, he became a loyal minister who had to die and had to die.
So what about the emperor? An emperor who can't tolerate old ministers? An emperor who is good at making dramas? Such a suspect emperor has to carry it on his back if he doesn't want to.
Xue Heng could understand this principle, and all the ministers in the court could figure it out, and the emperor naturally understood it better than anyone else.
His hand held the fold tightly, this old man!
Xue Heng's head turned slightly and then he turned to Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao was stunned. Since he woke up immediately, he saw him kneeling down with Chu Yuan: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Chu is loyal, no one in the world knows this? The ministers in the court are even more obvious to all! You can't doubt the prime minister just by a man's words! Your Majesty! This is to make the people in the world feel heartbroken and make the ministers in the court feel heartbroken!"
As Chu Yuan’s disciple, Fang Zhao was the first to stand up for Chu Yuan, and this seemed unexpected to everyone.
After hearing Fang Zhao's words, Chu Yuan's body suddenly froze. At this time, you really don't need to be like this, okay!
Fang Zhao has made his way forward and is the first to be in front of Prime Minister Chu. So what about the other people in this hall who are close to Prime Minister Chu?
"I'm asking!" The person who came forward was from the Censorate.
"I'm going to discuss it!" This is a member of the Ministry of War.
"I'm asking!" This is a person from the Ministry of Revenue.
"I'm asking!" This is a member of the Ministry of Rites.
"I'm asking!" This is a member of the Ministry of Justice.
"I'm asking!" This is a person from the Ministry of Works.
"I'm going to discuss it!" This is the person from the Five Cities Military Command.
"I'm asking!" This is a person from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing!
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
...
Emperor Yongkang looked on it. Slowly, he didn't have time to see who the person mentioned was and where he came from. He had already kneeled half of the hall.
Chu Yuan's face turned pale all of a sudden! It's really over now! I can't die this time.
Hulala knelt down so many people, and Jing'an Hou laughed. What did the emperor think at this time? Whose court is this court? Is it the emperor's? Or Chu Yuan's? Originally, he saw that Xue Heng and Fang Zhao were a little tricky, and thought that Fang Zhao was smart and knew that he was going to be thrown out as an abandoned son, so he wanted to rise up to the devour. But he didn't expect that among these two people, Xue Heng would be the main one, and he was the leader. Judging the situation and grasping people's hearts is accurate.
Whose subordinates are such talents? How could he be willing to use such people as an introduction? It is simply a waste of talents!
Emperor Yongkang looked at the half-kneel minister and laughed: "Okay! OK! OK! I am really united and talked to everyone!"
Whole heart? A word of common words?
It's not a good thing to put here!
These kneeling people were in a cold sweat immediately! Damn it! How could they follow Fang Zhao to make a fuss? That's just a shrewd guy!
Emperor Yongkang held the note in his hand and felt a little regretful. If he knew it was the current situation, he shouldn't have been bothering with Chu Yuan just now. Now he must have everything on the note in his hand. But he had already said it before and had to listen to Chu Yuan himself. Now he looked at the ministers kneeling all over the ground and immediately went back on his word. The show just now was in vain.
What he wants now is a step and a ladder down.
But there were so many ministers standing there, but none of them stood up to set a step for him. His eyes couldn't help but narrow. After so long, wasn't there anyone in the court who had a voice for himself as a king?
At this time, Guo Changhe stood up: "Your Majesty, although Your Majesty is concerned about the relationship between the king and the minister, the rules are unbreakable. Deng Wen Gu was established by the Grand Master, and this is the only way for the people to complain directly. If Your Majesty even blocks this road, what should the people in the world? Please think twice."
Emperor Yongkang looked at Guo Changhe deeply, and his feelings for this person improved a little. He sighed and looked at the minister kneeling in the hall, "Guo Aiqing's words are reasonable, but this minister in the court..." As he said that, he shook his head, "I have to consider everyone's opinions."
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled in his heart and stood up: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been differences between the king and the minister. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. If the ministers have no king in their eyes, this minister can be a minister who deceives the king. On the contrary, if the king only listens to the words of the ministers, but does not have the arbitrary spirit, this king can be a king who is obedient. In the eyes of the ministers, if the ministers are allowed, they can listen, and if they are not allowed, they can ignore them." His eyes swept in the hall, "This order of the king and the ministers is really the principle."
This is extremely blunt. He spoke to the emperor with a bit of admonition. However, the identity of Marquis Jing'an was quite special. He was the husband of Princess Hui and the emperor's uncle. He had also been on the battlefield with the late emperor. The late emperor had repeatedly stated in public that Marquis Jing'an was no different from his opposite-sex brother. Therefore, after saying this as half a minister and half an elder, it was no longer appropriate.
This is the "force" emperor, don't have any worries, don't just think about personal relationships, don't listen to the advice of subordinates in everything, and have the arbitrary spirit.
Emperor Yongkang felt relieved and stood up in fear. After bowing to the Marquis of Jing'an, he said: "Listen to the Marquis of Jing'an, I couldn't help but think of the previous emperor's teachings to me." He looked helpless, "All the beloved ministers have risen. Everyone in the world can have their own selfishness, but I can't..."
Who dares to say anything at this time when the person who rises from the ground can't help but sigh that success is the court, failure is the court. If you are not careful, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
Emperor Yongkang then sat back on the dragon throne, slowly opened the note, and looked carefully. Everyone below secretly looked at the emperor's face, but no one could see any other expression from his face.
After a long time, Emperor Yongkang silently put down the memorial and looked at Chu Yuan: "Chu Yuan, there are many more than 30 crimes in this memorial. I won't say anything else, just one. If it is verified, I can't tolerate you!" He stood up suddenly and threw the memorial in front of Chu Yuan, "Travel the enemy and treason! My Prime Minister of Great Zhou actually carries the enemy and treason!" He looked impatient, "Since twenty years ago, you and Bei Liao were flirting with each other. The censor Gan Haichao showed clues, and you were framed and killed by you! Train the enemy and treason, framed the loyal and kind! Chu Yuan, what should you do?"
Everyone in the hall was shocked by the emperor's roar and dared not speak!
Collaborate with the enemy and treason!
Oh my God! You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing without evidence. However, this crime of collusion is the most difficult thing for others to obtain evidence.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Xue Heng. Who is this person? If someone unknown is not known, it would be impossible for him to obtain these evidence. Is there anyone behind him?
When everyone remembered the emperor's behavior, they felt cold. Isn't this a play directed and acted by the emperor?
But Xue Heng was still confused. He only had the evidence in Yunzhou. But now the memorial is not only written as the one he knew. It even involves the old case of Gan Haichao.
When Princess Yunyin was enthroned, the identity of Concubine Chen in the palace was no longer a secret. Everyone knew that she was the daughter of a criminal minister, which forced her and the emperor to separate her childhood sweethearts, which led to the good princess becoming an illegitimate daughter of unknown origin. Thinking of Princess Yunyin, he seemed to understand why she was in a hurry to attack Chu Yuan.
The Gan family did not rehabilitate for a day, and there was a stain on Concubine Chen.
At this moment, Chu Yuan calmed down. He actually picked up the memorial thrown by the emperor and read it seriously. He really didn't do this matter of colluding with the enemy! But this memorial is really interesting. It's all real, but he changed the matter and did not mention the matter between him and Jin Cheng'an. Instead, he forced a crime of colluding with the enemy. Seeing the matter of Gan Haichao, he wanted to laugh even more. No one knew better than the emperor why Gan Haichao died back then. At that time, the late emperor was just a prince and could not be liked by the emperor, and was also named King Xia. It can be said that he had no chance of being in the throne. But the late emperor was not a person who accepted his fate. He borrowed troops from Bei Liao privately and ambushed the King of Jin who returned from suppressing the rebellion. He colluded with pirates and took the life of King Lu who went to patrol the coast. These things were swept by himself, but they were revealed by Gan Haichao. He had long suspected that he had been involved with Jin Cheng'an's father, Duke Lao Jinguo, and thought that all this was done by him and Duke Lao Jinguo, and planned to rebel. He planned to expose it, but the late emperor found out. So he took the initiative and directly took the life of Gan Haichao's family. There was no one in it. When the Gan family had an accident, the current emperor was already 14th and 50 years old, and he was already sensible. It was impossible for him not to notice it. Now he pressed the charge on himself like this. He really couldn't argue! This was the blame for the late emperor! He first appeared, and there was no place in this world to be reasonable.
If you dare to reveal the past, the emperor must kill the nine Chu clans!
No! Absolutely not! I am so old and have enough money. But hundreds of people in the Chu family cannot get in. And I have been implicated with my subordinates today. If I don’t know the tact, these people will not have a good end. But it is absolutely not possible to ask me to accept my fate like this. This is a treason for the nine clans. No matter what, I have to save my life in a flash.
He took the note and looked at it again and again, trying to find a breakthrough. Until he looked at it for the fifth time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. This time he put the note together. Then he smiled slowly: "Your Majesty! The charges on this note are not recognized!" He looked at Emperor Yongkang with his eyes open, "I don't know what Your Majesty saw from the note, but the old minister saw something else from the note." He raised the note in his hand, "The case of Gan Haichao is this note.
The old case from more than ten years ago has already been settled. Now it is revealed, is it that Emperor Gao made a wrong judgment? Or is it that the late emperor found it wrong? Now that it is revealed, the old minister can only think of one reason. That is, someone wants to use this case to turn it over! So who is this person? Why should he hold on to the old case?" After he paused, he bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid, I have to ask Concubine Chen and Princess Yunyin!"
