Chapter 672 Three in One(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 56
The appearance of the Miao family was an accident.ggaax
What Lin Yutong is most worried about
Someone hid behind and learned everything about the Fourth Master, but the Fourth Master and himself did not show anything. Otherwise, it would not have been like this.
The Fourth Master arranged a certificate
He also happened to send people from the Miao family. If so
It's too good to be the person behind
And I still don’t know who this person is.
With
She shook her head, can this Miao family come out
But it may not be that the Fourth Master and himself were stared at. There is another
That's Guo Yi. Guo Yi also interjected in this witness.
But he didn't know that all this was the result of the Fourth Master hiding behind his back. But what if he was not only the Fourth Master and himself were staring at Guo Yi, but also another group of people? Then from Guo Yi's body
Insight into Guo Yi's beating
It doesn't seem impossible either.
But who would be the person who could focus on Guo Yi and know that Guo Yi is important?
Is it the Emperor?
No! No! If I had someone from the Miao family in my hand, the emperor would have handled Jin Cheng'an long ago, would he still keep him for the New Year?
But if it weren't the emperor, who would this person be?
Lin Yutong looked at Chu Yuan's pale face and thought of someone - Jin Cheng'an!
She sat down slowly and said to Gan Shi softly: "Where are the Miao people? Aren't the Miao people all dead? Can't they pretend to be?"
The voice is neither high nor low, and it happens to be heard by people. It also conceals why she was so disobedient just now.
Gan shook his head: "Don't be impatient! Just listen."
Emperor Yongkang looked at Lin Yutong and felt relieved. It seemed that the appearance of this person was not within the scope of Yun Yin's calculations. That's right! Otherwise, either her own scheming was too terrible or that Gan's power outside was already scared.
And Miao Zhuang did not seem to hear Lin Yutong's words, kneeling quietly, lowering his head, and not defending whether he was a real Miao family. He only said: "Caomin's aunt is the concubine of Duke Jinguo. The Miao family's horse farm is close to the Northern Liao, and everyone knows this. But the Miao family always traded horses from Northern Liao to our Great Zhou. Many of the horses in the army were done by the Miao family. Although the Miao family made money and did business with Northern Liao, they never harmed the interests of the Great Zhou. This point should be evidence of this. Back then, the border guards were seriously injured in the battle with Northern Liao. It was the Miao family who gave the war horses in the horse farm to the border guards for free..." As he said that, he looked at the Marquis of Jing'an.
Marquis Jing'an looked at Miao Zhuang deeply: "I don't know if this person is a descendant of the Miao family, but what he said is true." Otherwise, he would not have won that battle back then. Although he was defeated by the late emperor, the Miao family made contributions to the country, and this cannot be denied. He was always more tolerant of the son left by the Miao family and Yun Yin's son-in-law who was left by the Miao family than others. This is also the reason. Of course, the more he contacted, the more he felt that the couple was a wonderful person. Instead, he forgot about the preference and care he brought out because of the Miao family. He had doubts about the sudden emergence of the Miao family and only told the facts he knew.
Emperor Yongkang nodded and turned to look at Miao Zhuang. It doesn’t matter whether this person is true or false. What’s important is that what he said is good for the current situation. “You keep talking.”
Miao Zhuang lowered his head again and said, "But after this incident, the nightmare of the Miao family began. No matter where he went, the bandits followed him like a shadow. The males in the family almost broke in a few years. Cao Min's father followed up with the aunt of Duke Jin's mansion, who were twin siblings. The father was afraid that the family would be broken, so he hid the news and handed over Cao Min's father, who was still in his infancy to his guards, and took them all the way south to Qiongzhou."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. The old man from the Miao family was really a bit courageous. The family's industrial power was in the north, but he brought the only male to the south. No one would have thought of this.
Miao Zhuang looked up at Lin Yutong on him: "Everyone said that my aunt is weak, that's the reason."
It is common for one mother to have twins, one is healthy and the other is weak.
Lin Yutong didn't agree. No matter how reasonable it was, these could not be the reason for her to determine that he was a Miao family.
"Caomin's father grew up in Qiongzhou, where he married and had children, and there was a part of the furniture that his grandfather asked him to bring out. Soon, in Qiongzhou, his father also supported a family business. However, fifteen years ago, the old Miao family members came to Qiongzhou and asked about their father's news. The father knew where the Miao family was, so he took in these people. Only then did he realize that something happened to the Miao family. Caomin's aunt said that she passed away early because of difficult labor. Thinking of the deceased Miao family, his father was scared.
.He was afraid that he would die unexpectedly for no reason, and even more afraid that the young Caomin would encounter unexpected problems. So, he first placed Caomin in Fuzhou, and then began to investigate the affairs of the Miao family. But when his father left, there was no news. It was not until half a year ago that a entourage who had followed his father for many years came back and found Caomin and handed over to Caomin a few things. The above records the experience of his father's verification. Caomin then realized that everything about the Miao family was destroyed by Chu Yuan. His aunt's death was even more inseparable from the Chu family."
As he said that, a stack of paper came out of his arms, "This is evidence of Chu Yuan colluding with bandits and killing the Miao family." He pulled out a few pieces from it, "This is the letters from Chu Yuan and the national teacher of Bei Liao that Cao Min collected when he wanted to take revenge. Please check it out!"
Emperor Yongkang took the things in his hand and flipped them in his hand, making the look on his face even more difficult to look. He didn't care whether the evidence was true or false, but the letters he had to deal with the Northern Liao master were all true. Although the words were obscure, it was still not difficult to see that the two were indeed talking about some kind of transaction. No matter what the transaction was, one was the prime minister of the country and the other was the national teacher of the enemy country. If the two had only had a close personal relationship, who would believe this?
No matter what the letter said, Chu Yuan was already guilty.
Emperor Yongkang bent down and sneered and held the letter to the kneeling Chu Yuan, "You can see clearly whether this is the letter you wrote."
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and pursed his mouth tightly. The letter was written by himself, written by himself. But... this was just a draft written by himself. After writing it, he handed it to Jin Cheng'an, asking people to imitate the handwriting again. And imitators will deliberately reveal a few flaws when writing. On the one hand, this can make Bei Liao know his sincerity. Without sincerity, he will not write a handwritten letter. However, Bei Liao has people who know Chinese and Chinese characters, but it is difficult to tell the authenticity of the handwriting on the letter. There are no professional talents in this regard! On the other hand, if this letter is intercepted by the court, he can escape. Because the letter itself is fake. As long as you find someone to distinguish carefully, you will be the victim.
The original works given to Kim Sung-an were told to him and destroyed after using them. At the beginning, he burned them in front of him. Then, when he saw that he had never had any problems in this regard, he kept staring at them. Who would have thought that something would happen?
Could it be that Jin Chengan's subordinates had a problem? Chu Yuan closed his eyes, and he was not that naive yet.
This is obviously something that was deliberately left. There are so many letters in exchange for them, and the two letters left are the most important things. So who is betraying me? It is already very obvious.
But I really dare not give Jin Cheng'an out. Once it is given, the Chu family will be doomed. But if I don't say anything, what should I do if Jin Cheng'an cut off the roots?
His fists were clenched, trembling slightly, but he still opened his eyes: "I have nothing to say, the old minister confesses his guilt. And the old minister's guilt is not just these." Chu Yuan did not raise his eyelids, nor did he look at the emperor's face, but said: "The Miao family is indeed the work of the minister. Colluding with bandits not only killed the people of the Miao family. King Jin and King Lu are also the work of the minister..."
Before he could finish his words, he caused a burst of exclamation.
King Jin and King Lu were the brothers of the late emperor.
When Emperor Yongkang heard Chu Yuan talk about this, his hand suddenly clenched. The King of Jin and King Lu were obviously made by the late emperor, but Chu Yuan would not bear the blame on himself so inexplicably. Why did he do this? Emperor Yongkang remembered the evidence of the crime in his hand. If others could get the letters that Chu Yuan was entrusted by the Northern Liao Dynasty, would there be evidence of the contact between the Southern Liao Dynasty in Chu Yuan?
Yes! There must be!
But Chu Yuan would not take it out. He is negotiating conditions with him. He is trying to protect the Chu family.
The anger flashed in Emperor Yongkang's eyes, and this old man still refused to accept his fate! Once the evidence in his hand was known, how could he let such things fall into the hands of others? He thought it was a life-saving talisman, but sometimes it would become a death-demanding talisman. Let it go first, and then kill it. Is it interesting to talk about such conditions now? But then, his heart thumped. Chu Yuan forced himself to drag the case back. When his heart turned, he figured out the old man's plan, but he did have many things that were useful to him in his stomach, and he really had to cooperate and drag it up.
Chu Yuan knew that Emperor Yongkang could understand his thoughts, and naturally knew that he was now dying struggle. But now, the only thing he could fight for his family was this glimmer of life. With this buffer, the Chu family could leave a root. His eyes glanced at Lin Yutong and looked at Lin Yutong unexpectedly. Just this glance made him feel hope again. Whether the Chu family can live, maybe he has the chance to talk to this Princess Yunyin. He also has something that she may be interested in.
Emperor Yongkang narrowed his eyes and reached out to stroke his forehead, feeling dizzy.
"Your Majesty!" Lai Fu reached out to support Emperor Yongkang, and the prince over there also came over and helped Emperor Yongkang sit on the dragon throne. "Father, don't be sad for such a person."
The ministers below also thought that the emperor was angry with Chu Yuan. Not only the emperor did not expect that, but no one expected that this person was really a traitor and evil person.
"Your Majesty! Such a person is not enough to calm the anger of the people." Song Cheng, as the censor, was the first to stand up, "This is enough to kill the nine clans!"
Kill the nine clans?
The ministers were silent. Please, can you speak well? These nine clans include married daughters and grandsons. The Duke Jin family is covered. Of course, they include Princess Yunyin and the prince consort. Although this is not the serious grandson of the Chu family, it is in terms of etiquette and law, that is! When there are benefits, it is not the turn, but no one can avoid such things.
If you want to cut off the heads of the nine clans of the family, ask how many people in this hall have relationships with the Chu family within the nine clans. There are many relatives in-laws. Everyone is afraid of being implicated at this moment?
Guo Changhe looked at Song Cheng. This short-lived person offended all the things that should not be offended in a blink of an eye. He sighed and walked out, "Your Majesty! Although Chu Yuan has pleaded guilty, there are still many untrue details in it. It should be handed over to Dali Temple for detailed interrogation. Then he will decide."
Emperor Yongkang's head was buzzing with pain, and only one heard one saying he wanted to kill and the other saying he would postpone it and then kill it. The two had different opinions, but he knew that Chu Yuan's matter should not be urgent, and he could not do it like this.
Gan's hand was pressed on Emperor Yongkang's trembling hand and said softly: "What's wrong? It's so uncomfortable?"
Emperor Yongkang nodded, his eyes were blurred, his body was shaking, but his headache was so bad.
Gan said softly: "How about I help you back? Leave it to the prince for handling." As he said that, he glanced at the prince and smiled kindly.
How can I leave this kind of thing to the prince?
Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "Come on! Let's talk about this for the time being..."
Gan sighed in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules."
"I asked you to deal with it, why are you talking about it?" Emperor Yongkang roared irritably, and the hall suddenly calmed down. He looked at Concubine Chen who was embarrassed on his face in shock. Emperor Yongkang knew that he had overreacted, so he leaned on the back of the chair, looking so angry that he couldn't suppress himself. "Although he is hateful, he assisted the late emperor and me, I really can't bear it... Let me say, you know my feelings best..."
Everyone was a little aware. The emperor couldn't bear it and asked Concubine Chen to come forward. But the Gan family and Chu Yuan had a grudge. Naturally, they would not show mercy. She was Princess Yun Yin's biological mother, and she would never do anything that implicated the princess. The emperor really knew how to find someone. But that's right, what Song Cheng said was decided by the law. Now, in order to protect his daughter, he was not suitable for him to do this.
Jin Yunshun glanced at Concubine Chen and made a gesture of invitation.
Gan nodded slightly, walked over, stood on the imperial stairs, before the imperial arch.
"You are all pillars of the country. Everyone knows what kind of procedures should be taken for this case to be tried and judged. Chu Yuan confessed his guilt in court, and it seems that the case is clear, but it is not. First, Xue Heng only complained about thirty-six crimes, only one of the enemies and treasons, and there is a clear evidence. The rest have never asked. So, I would like to ask, what should the victims of the other thirty-five articles? If the case is not clear, the victims will not receive fair treatment. This is the dereliction of duty by the court, the dereliction of duty by all the ruling masters, and it will also be the dereliction of duty by Your Majesty. Second, the dereliction of evidence of treasons seems to be conclusive. But I want to ask everyone, is Chu Yuan covering up someone? Do you have a complicity? Do you have a party? Are there any crimes that have been confessed? Why is it for such a hurry to kill people? Are you afraid that something will be found? Are you implicated?"
Song Cheng couldn't help but shrink back. He just stepped forward to show his loyalty. As he said that, he was suspected of being accomplices with Chu Yuan. It is undeniable that many people wanted to kill Chu Yuan in this hall, but this definitely did not include himself.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but take a breath. This woman forced everyone to say nothing. It was wrong to plead for Chu Yuan, and it was wrong to convict Chu Yuan. After that, I didn't plan to ask everyone to speak.
There were several old princes of the royal family who thought that the emperor was making a fool of himself, how could a woman point fingers in the hall? But when he heard this, no one dared to stand up and blame him. Why? Because Chu Yuan said that he was related to the death of King Jin and King Lu. This may be true, but it should not be all true. When the two princes died, Chu Yuan was not the prime minister? At that time, with his ability and official position, it was impossible to kill the two princes. Not only did he not have that ability, but the key was that he did not have that motivation. But he had no motivation, and the ministers in the hall had no motivation. The only one who had a motivation was the old prince. There was another person who knew who it was, but no one dared to say it. Those who died were anxious and could not mention it again. It was difficult for them to be alive. This melon field was too late to avoid suspicion, so who would dare to go up.
Lin Yutong thought to himself that some people are born with talent than others in a certain aspect. For example, Gan family easily suppressed the ministers in the court. This is the first time, and there is a second time. This is how people's habits are formed. Once everyone thinks it is unreasonable. Then the second time, it will no longer be strange and unacceptable. This is the first time, no one dares to refute in front of Gan family. Then the second time, they will at least calm down and listen to Gan family seriously. Because the first time left them too deep, they know that this woman is not easy to mess with.
What Gan wants is to ask the people below to slowly develop this habit.
Chu Yuan’s affairs were an opportunity for her. Moreover, Lin Yutong always vaguely felt that Gan’s words just now were not aimless. It was like an introduction, and it might explode at any time.
‘Is Chu Yuan harboring someone? Are there any accomplices? Are there any accomplices?’
What is the answer to this question? What does Gan want to do with this question?
Lin Yutong lighted her fingers gently on her legs, and she waited and saw.
Gan's eyes circled around the hall, as if he was patrolling his own territory, and then he said: "According to such a big case, according to the law, we should hand it over to the three departments for trial. Only after the case is clear can the case be submitted to the sages of Your Majesty to be punished. If each case follows the special case, and is scrambling to make a special case, and everyone will follow it in the future, what power can there be? The court has the law of jail for sentencing, so it should be executed according to the law. If a crime is the law, the crime should be judged according to the law. If the crime is the dead, there will be no life. If the crime is the wrong one, there will be no complaints."
Song Cheng suddenly stood up, glanced at Gan, and said, "But the emperor said something before, so he must not tolerate him. Now the Empress..."
"Yes!" Gan took Song Cheng's words, "The emperor's words are like water overflowing. After listening to the words of the emperor, I felt that Chu Yuan's affairs were big, but not the biggest. The biggest problem lies in that you think you can replace the law with words!" She said, her voice even louder, "If today's affairs cannot be judged according to the procedures of the laws and regulations, and judged and killed according to the urgent words of the emperor, then the whole world will think that it is a saying.
It can be used as a rule. In the future, there will be people who should be killed, and they will not be killed because of the words of the saint; there will also be people who should not be killed because of the words of the saint. If the words of the saint can replace the laws and orders and abolish the laws because of the people, then all the subjects and people in the world will not agree. The law is in vain and no one can follow it. They all follow the likes and dislikes of the saint. In the long run, there will be treacherous and slanderous people, many false accusations, and few who follow the laws and obediently. In the long run, the world will be in chaos!”
As she said that, she pointed at Chu Yuan who was kneeling in the hall, "Compared with these, what is the harm of a small Chu Yuan?"
The hall was full of hanging heads. For the first time, they knew that there was such a woman. She refuted the emperor's words and refuted the great truth. But this statement was right everywhere! It was irrefutable.
The hall was filled with women's majestic voices: "Minister cherishes his fortune and does not advise him, but his minister is afraid of punishment but does not speak. At that time, the country was really a general who was not a country! Your Majesty hopes that there will be more direct ministers in the court who speak out and give advice!"
"Be careful to take the training!" Guo Changhe was the first to stand up, bowed to the end, and said respectfully.
To be continued...
