Chapter 567 The Kong family is suspected, and the Chen family committed the crime
Even if the assassination of Zhang Tai made some politicians with a keen sense of smell feel a different urgency, they did not predict what kind of drastic changes would follow. Until the next day, the emperor suddenly held a palace meeting in the Qianming Palace. Except for the Chinese calligraphy, cabinet ministers and several princes, none of the courtiers above the fifth grade fell. It was almost a big situation that had never happened after the case of the Golden Rebellion, and even His Royal Highness, who had not been cheered up for a long time, was edicted. Although the emperor on the throne did not look very solemn, it also made a group of officials nervous.
With a "bang", a memorial on the imperial case was photographed, which made the hearts of the ministers beat again coincidentally, and they only felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"Lv Jian, you will say what you have done in public." The low tone of the emperor broke the silence.
The last supervisor came out, and the style stepped forward a few steps, and the blue robe was particularly conspicuous in the front row of the robe.
This thorn again! At this time, many officials were secretly connoyant.
The fourth prince's heart sank, but he climbed up with joy. It was not until then that he dared to make sure that today's situation was indeed for Lv Jian.
Although the spearhead pointed to Kong Zhishang, it was impossible for the emperor not to know that this was a trouble for the storage position, but he did not hesitate to hold a public discussion - he handed it over the memorial in the morning and summoned hundreds of officials the next day. What does this prove? It proved that, as he had expected before, the emperor was not completely satisfied with the qualification of the crown prince, the crown prince.
Add one more point to the calculation.
In Lv Jian's loud speech, the uncontrollable inhalation sound in the main hall sounded one after another.
It turned out to be the impeachment of Kong Zhishang to break the incident and buy a murderer!
At first, the matter was just one or two rumors, which were heard by a left of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, so he summoned two supervisors to negotiate and made them secretly investigate the rumors.
Although the imperial history can be told by rumors, on the one hand, the matter involves the fairness of the imperial examination, and on the other hand, it is related to the important ministers and relatives of the emperor, so it cannot be reported by rumors alone, at least to detect whether the rumors are credible.
"After the visit, Weichen has verified that there is indeed a rumor and is waiting to be written in the constitution. Zhang Tai, who did not want to be involved in the case, to be assassinated. However, under the order of the official, the imperial history of the case with Wei Chen suddenly disappeared. According to the investigation, two days ago, this person secretly broke the matter and had his servant as evidence." Lv Jian's words fell, and the right-hand man who heard the rumor first issued circumstantial evidence, and directly inferred that the missing imperial historian secretly linked with Kong Zhishang, so he leaked the secret, so that Kong Zhishang killed and killed his mouth in order to cover up his crime.
It goes without saying that this right-hand man is a close relative of Qin, and the missing imperial history, who was originally the queen, cheated Qin Huiren. His disappearance was obviously what the queen did when she saw that she couldn't kill her mouth and let the Kong family make up for it.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince had expected it and arranged for his eyes to go to the imperial private residence as a servant as a witness.
Of course, Kong Zhishan will not sit back and wait for death, saying that he is innocent and questioning that someone has been defiled.
Youdu then proposed that Su Ming, a new science detective, is also one of the certificates, and there are several certificates such as Zhang Shishu.
Kong Zhishang refuted that Zhang Shishu was only heard indirectly. Even if there are rumors in the world, it is not empirical, and it may not be deliberately spread by people with ulging intentions.
"Holy, don't edict Zhang Tai to go to the hall and ask the truth." Qin Xiang came out at the right time to stop everyone's rhetorical disputes.
Zhang Tai and his son also disappeared, making the case complicated again.
"The case must be strictly inspected! Let the three law departments work together to deal with the case. Even if they dig three feet of the ground, they should find Zhang Tai and the imperial historian involved in the case. The emperor finally decided to appoint Su Yi, a cabinet bachelor, to preside over the case. Kong Zhishang was temporarily dismissed from his post for inspection. He was banned from living in a private residence, guarded by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and was not allowed to communicate with anyone, including his family.
After the discussion, the Kong family immediately became the suspects closely guarded by the Three Laws. At this point, the queen naturally dared not contact her mother's family again. Fortunately, there were three princes.
In the Kunren Palace, the queen obviously did not calm down in the past. She turned around in the warm pavilion like a headless fly. It was not until she heard that the third prince was waiting to see her outside that she shouted repeatedly. She forced herself to sit on the edge of the kang and sent her trusted female official to guard the outside of the cabinet and not let people take a step closer.
The queen picked up the third prince who wanted to salute: "How's it going?"
The third prince's face was full of solemnity: "Qin Xiang really took action and asked Lv Jian to hand over the memorial. Just now... The emperor has ordered the three divisions to be tried, which will be presided over by the Su Pavilion Department."
"Wolf ambition!" The queen re-tapped several cases, and her mind was also in chaos: "The Su family can't ignore the holy order. How can the emperor... Knowing that the back is Silang coveting the storage position... What should we do now? Among the three divisions, the Metropolitan Proccumen is controlled by Qin Huaiyu, Dali Temple..." The former Dali Temple Secretary was involved in the Jin Rebellion case and has been punished for a long time. He is currently the Dali Temple Secretary. Born in a family, it can't be ruled out that he is a member of Qin Xiang's party: "There is also Lu Ze, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who is recommended by Yu Yu, and he is also a saint's letter, and can't be instructed by this palace."
"The mother, this time it involves the imperial examination, and it is inevitable that the emperor will pay attention to it, but if the emperor gives this case to the Su Ge Department, at least it will not be controlled by the fourth brother." The third prince said, "Last night, I got the letter and immediately rushed to Shuntianfu. The murderer has been warned by my son. If he wants to save his family's life, he will not dare to talk nonsense. The imperial historian and Zhang Tai's father and son have been properly placed and will not fall into the hands of the three divisions."
"Zhang Tai is stupid! How can such a big thing be leaked to the dunk? His son will boast about it when he is really drunk? The queen's face was white, and her eyes were full of murderous intent. The third prince had no doubt that if Zhang Tai was present, he would be crushed by the queen's own hands.
"I also asked that Zhang Tai's son was drunk that day and didn't know what he said." In fact, Zhang Tai's son did not know his father's crimes at all, and naturally he would not reveal the secrets. Zhang Tai was really wronged.
But this truth, the third prince will naturally not be honest with the queen.
"All the words will be extinguished, and only the dead will be reassuring." The queen gritted her teeth.
That won't work. Zhang Tai and his son have been controlled by the emperor... The third prince coughed and his face was sincere: "Mother, this matter has come to an end. Even if Zhang Tai and his son are killed, the two prostitutes and the Tang family are not the main witnesses. They can't be convicted just by their ears... But there are two external releases Officials." The two Jinshi are the direct beneficiaries of the dance. If they confess to Kong Zhishang, it is conclusive.
"Mother, forgive my son and minister, if you do the words again at this time, the emperor will believe in the truth of the dance."
The queen herself also knew that she was impulsive, but she did not think of a two-size-all strategy, and her face was even more pale and ferocious.
"After the mother, the minister thought that this matter was undoubtedly the fourth brother's move to seize the reserve. If he wanted to get through this disaster safely, he would still be drawn from the bottom of the pot... On the way back to Donghua Princess, he had no intention to find out..." The third prince said that Pan'er's mother was raped and forced to commit suicide by Hu Shizhong: " The minister was assassinated in Pinan, and thanks to the bow and arrow in Pan'er's family, he survived. He had the intention to redress her grievances, so he arranged someone to inspect Hu Shizhong.
Talking and talking in detail about Hu Shizhong's new official's death and occupation, the third prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "My son has helped the craftsman's woman to check the evidence. Han Xiucai, a good friend of the craftsman, has entered Beijing with his certificate and is waiting for the right time to let him go to listen to the drum." Seeing that the queen's face was impatient, the third prince did not sell him any more: "Hu Shizhong is a confidite of Chen Changshi. He was promoted as the credit of his fourth brother."
The queen then focused: "Really?"
"There is no doubt that the minister has reported this matter to the prince, and the prince also said that he had to wait for the right time to hit the fourth brother."
The queen raised her eyebrows.
"At this time, the fourth brother intended to save the throne and wanted to take advantage of the dance to admonish the reserve in the case. If the reserve position is vacant... If he does not follow the direct leader, he should be wise. If Hu Shizhong's crime is exposed at this time and the reputation of the fourth brother is useless, he will certainly not let him indulge in the party and listen to the drum court at this jure, but the second master of the Chen family will Sir..."
"The Chen family will definitely kill people!" The queen said.
"When this happened, the fourth brother will certainly be anxious. If his mother did nothing, he would also take action and defile the prince if he wanted to kill his mouth, and be guilty of the prince's crime of perjugating the law."
"As long as we grasp the handle of Silang, we can turn defeat into victory." The queen's anger subsided, and then she regained her usual mood.
The third prince smiled and nodded.
"Sanlang, thanks to you this time..." The queen moved her mother's kindness for a moment and took the third prince's hand: "If you get through this disaster safely, the prince will definitely remember your credit. In the future... Since you have experienced difficulties and dangers, you will share honor."
The third prince will naturally say something "reasoningly" obedient and leave. When he comes out of Kunrenmen, his eyes gradually become playful.
The angry fourth prince had already arranged manpower to go to Xiangxi, pay attention to the two county magistrates who were born as Jinshi. He only waited for the queen's party to kill the words, and then took the evidence as the sword to kill the prince to force the throne.
But without further progress, there will be a mistake on the fourth prince's side.
In the afternoon, the fourth prince was discussing with several staff. Chen Changshi entered in a panic and whispered in the ears of the fourth prince.
The staff saw that the fourth prince's face changed greatly, so they filed out with interest. They were beating drums in their hearts and didn't know what had happened.
"Is this serious?" There were no outsiders in the room, and the fourth prince tightened Chen Changshi's clothes.
"It's true, the man went straight to knock on the drum and knelt down to present the certificate! Fortunately, the referee is one of us. He pressed the matter down and informed the second uncle, Your Highness. At this juven, we can't let Hu Shizhong have an accident. If he gets an improper recommendation, he will even force the people..."
The fourth prince was furious and punched the case several times: "What a Hu Shizhong! There are many beautiful concubines who can't sit and occupy the women... It's really a mess."
"Your Highness, if this matter is not pressed, it will be used in the future. It is sageless to attack Your Highness. How can we allow others to sit and enjoy the fisherman?" Chen Changshi thought that Hu Shizhong was recommended by him. He sweated coldly on his forehead and felt a needle-like prickly, but he had to analyze it hard.
The fourth prince forced himself to calm down and said halfway, "What you said is not unreasonable... This must be pressed, and immediately touch the details of the person who beats the drummer. If there is nothing to rely on... punish him, be sent to the army, and then... on the way... to escape the charge, he immediately inform Hu Shizhong and let him kill the woman. Keep your mouth shut and take good care of this matter."
Poor Han Xiucai came thousands of miles to Kyoto to make a complaint. In order to repay the assistance of the craftsmen in those years, he was also worried that local officials would protect each other, so that his employer was also a righteous person. After learning about this, he not only helped the road, but also contacted "relatives and friends" to compromise arrangements in Kyoto to help Han Xiucai properly Only by acting at the right time can we ensure that we achieve our goals.
Unexpectedly, he went to Dengwen Drum Academy and submitted a certificate, but he was involunally escorted to prison on the charge of foul charge.
It goes without saying who is the boss of the scholar.
Not to mention, Dengwen Drum Court is not Erye Chen, the drum division, covering the sky with one hand.
So the Ministry of Criminal Justice was soon reported. Second Master Chen obeded the law and followed the selfishness, and instead accused the meritorious person against him.
Although Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was busy judging the case of dance cover-up, he did not dare to take it lightly after being reported and immediately reported to the imperial court.
The emperor was furious and once again ordered a strict inspection.
The third prince asked for orders to go to Jianchang Prefecture to investigate Hu Shizhong's case in person, and the emperor allowed it.
And before the third prince started, he finally met the two secretly--
