Chapter Five: Court Debate Confrontation (2)

First, the Dengwen drum that had been silent for several years was ringing, and then the bell of the Jingyun Bell in the Forbidden City also rang, making the people inexplicably wonder and confused. Then there was a wonder that the people had not seen for several years. One official sedan after another was shuttled through the streets of Beijing, with only one direction, the palace inside.

Wei Zhongxian pulled Wang Tigan and ran into Wenhua Hall. There was a layer of sweat on both of them. Seeing Emperor Tianqi sitting upright on the dragon throne in the middle, Queen Zhang Yan also sat down at the lower head, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "I bow to the emperor, Empress."

Emperor Tianqi looked bad, but he still squeezed out a smile to Wei Zhongxian, who was extremely loyal to him, and said, "Zhongxian, please be calm."

Wang Titan stood up to thank him for his kindness, stood aside, Wei Zhongxian stood there and bowed and asked, "Report to the emperor, I suddenly heard that the emperor ordered someone to ring Jingyun Bell and summon all civil and military officials to court. What happened?"

"Zhongxian, you should take good care of your family. If this continues, how can I feel at ease to entrust state affairs and government affairs to you?" Emperor Tianqi sighed helplessly. The queen Zhang Yan next to him had no expression and looked at Wei Zhongxian coldly. Originally, it was impossible for him to go to court to discuss politics in the main hall. The so-called harem cannot interfere in politics, but this time it involves royal clans, so it is said that it is an exception.

"I am negligent in discipline on weekdays, and it is my fault!" Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said in pain. His ability to cry was comparable to that of the Uncle Liu of the Three Kingdoms. He cried as soon as he wanted to cry. He was truly the ancestor of the eunuch.

"Okay, I know that you must have helped me with state affairs on weekdays and neglected to discipline me. However, I really cannot protect the crimes that Wei Liangqing committed this time, otherwise my face would be gone. Do you have to understand this?" Emperor Tianqi said with a heartbroken and helpless look.

"The emperor has no complaints about how he dealt with me. I just hope that the prince can spare my nephew's life by paying his life in his past service." Wei Zhongxian knew the character of Emperor Tianqi very well, and his ears were very soft. If you insist, it would be counterproductive. After saying this soft words, with Emperor Tianqi's character, Wei Liangqing's life will be temporarily saved, and there is still a chance to turn the tables.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible. Although the Duke of Ningguo Wei Liangqing tried to openly insult the beautiful woman chosen for the emperor, although he had not succeeded, he had committed a crime of great rebellion. He should kill the nine clans according to the crime. The emperor thought that his family was in the court, and it was already a blessing to not kill the nine clans. If he spared his life, then I would like to ask the emperor where is the national law of the Ming Dynasty and what is the majesty of the emperor?" The words of Empress Zhang Yan stabbed Wei Zhongxian in his heart. He heard Wei Zhongxian kneeling on the ground tightly clenched his hands, and even the resentment fire was sprayed in his eyes. Empress Zhang Yan, the bitch, actually stabbed him. He was simply ignorant of life and death. When I took the Zhu family's country, the first one to kill was you.

"Emperor, my nephew is young and ignorant. He was seduced by the beautiful girl Tian Shulan. He did such a confused thing. Please let the emperor know clearly." At this time, it was just right to throw Wei Liangqing into seducing by Tian Shulan. He guessed that the Emperor of Heaven must have seen the beautiful girl Tian Shulan. If it weren't for her beauty, his lustful nephew would have been fascinated by dizziness and suffering from this disaster.

Sure enough, when Emperor Tianqi was said this, his beautiful face with Tian Shulan with pear blossoms and rain just now came up in his mind. He, the true dragon emperor, was still a little moved, let alone these ordinary people. He believed in his heart, because he knew that Wei Zhongxian would not lie to him, and such a loyal person should be able to believe what he said, but Tian Shulan looked innocent and kind, so how could he do such a lack of virtue? Even if he wanted to seduce, there was no need to seduce Wei Liangqing. She was already a beautiful woman, and the one who wanted to seduce was me, the emperor. It must be Wei Liangqing that did not tell the truth to his uncle Wei Zhongxian, which made him misunderstand such a loyal person, so he said: "But I see that beautiful girl Tian Shulan is a weak woman. Even if she seduces her, how could she seriously damage the lower body of the Duke of Ning Guo?"

"Your Majesty, there was a maid next to Tian Shulan, and it must have been the two who worked together to hurt the nephew's body!" Wei Zhongxian said quickly. At this time, ministers had already felt that several cabinet ministers were handling affairs in Wenyuan Pavilion. Recently, they had come the fastest. Although they knew the whole story, the inside story was complicated and not as simple as the surface. They were all standing aside and in a consistent manner. At this moment, the opinions were very neat. Gu Bingjian, Wei Guangwei and three other cabinet ministers met. They were all old foxes who had worked together for many years, so they decided to bring their ears.

"It turned out that there was a maid present at that time. Someone came and brought the beautiful girl Tian Shulan Xuan into the hall." When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he had a question in his heart and brought Tian Shulan Xuan in.

"The beautiful girl Tian Shulan bowed to the emperor, Empress." Tian Shulan walked in from outside the hall wearing a plain white skirt, and Yingying knelt down and said.

"Flat."

After Tian Shulan thanked her, she stood up with her head down.

"Tian Shulan, I'm here to ask you, was there anyone else present when Duke Ning Guo and you were alone in the woods?" Tianqi asked, and ministers walked into the hall one after another. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and found their own position and stood there. Only then did no one make a sound.

"Yes, there was a maid next to me at that time. Lord Ning Guogong took care of me diligently along the way. Before going to the woods, he even told me, saying..."

"say what?"

"The beautiful girl dare not say it!" Tian Shulan knelt down in a hurry and said.

"You said, I forgive you for not guilty!"

"Thank you, the emperor, he said, as long as he says, I don't have to be a show girl, and he also said that the emperor would listen to his uncle. As long as his uncle doesn't tell the emperor, no one knows that I am a show girl, and he also said, "

Emperor Tianqi changed his color and Wei Zhongxian's face was pale. He knew that his nephew's beauty was so beautiful that he said everything. These words were probably really said by Wei Liangqing. Liangqing, you are so distorted. How can you help you like this? Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt a sense of hatred for Wei Liangqing. If he had known it, he would have let him stay in the capital calmly. Wei Zhongxian was about to go crazy now.

"What else do you say?" The Emperor of Heaven's temper is about to break out even if he has a good temper.

"He also said that I followed the emperor's diseased ghost, so it's better to follow him. The show girl really can't say what she said below." Tian Shulan knelt on Xiu and sobbed anxiously.

All the officials in the hall took a breath. At this time, whoever stood up to help Wei Liangqing speak was purely seeking death. It's over. This time, Wei Liangqing is dead, even if he doesn't die, it's over. In fact, it's over now. His lifeline has made two weak women poke into hornet's nests, and he is still lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground!

Emperor Tianqi's face turned pale. He originally wanted to leave Wei Liangqing a life, but now it seems that the queen is right. Can such a person still stay?

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty. I never thought that he would talk so nonsense to others outside." Wei Zhongxian could no longer cry.

"Zhongxian, I know it's not your fault, so you get up first." Emperor Tianqi's trust in Wei Zhongxian was still unshakable.

Wei Zhongxian felt a little relieved after hearing this. Liangqing, it’s not that my uncle doesn’t save you, it’s that you are so unsuccessful. Fortunately, the Wei family has Liangdong, Pengyi and others, otherwise they will be really the last one.

"Wei Zhongxian, if you hadn't indulged him, would Wei Liangqing say such a traitor and offend?" Zhu Yinglong appeared at the door of Wenhua Palace in court uniform, and pointed his finger at Wei Zhongxian who was still crawling on the ground and crying.

King of Trust!

Some people in the hall were surprised to see this face, some felt hope, and more people felt fear.

"My brother Zhu Youjian bowed to the emperor!"

"Fifth brother, please calm down."

"There is a reason why Wei Liangqing can say such words. If no one supports him, would he, a little Duke of Ning, dare to say such words?" Zhu Yinglong glanced at the ministers in the hall and asked loudly.

"Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Wei, is a great success in the country, and I admire it very much. However, as Duke Ning Guo, Wei Liangqing, who is a fake talent show, should have performed his duties and repay the emperor's kindness, but he was arrogant and arrogant. He relied on the emperor's trust in his uncle, under the guise of Eunuch Wei, he fed his personal bags along the way, and received more than 200 million taels of filial piety from officials along the way, and countless treasures and antiques were numerous. Along the way, he was indulging in love with him. Here are the testimony of the chief executive of the talent show, Li Yongzhen, and Eunuch Li. Please take a look at it." Zhu Yinglong took out a thick stack of testimony from his arms and raised his hands.

Wang Ti took the testimony and submitted it to the Emperor of Heaven. Emperor of Heaven looked over and looked even more ugly. Wei Zhongxian already knew that he had been completely plotted against him. King Xin, a young man who was not dry, was fighting against him head-on. With your strength, you can find some evidence to defeat me? Don’t think about it! Wei Zhongxian’s hated teeth clattered.

"Fifth brother, isn't Li Yongzhen imprisoned in prison? How did you get these confessions?" Emperor Tianqi asked.

"Your Majesty, Li Yongzhen heard and witnessed the ugly behavior of Wei Liangqing along the way, and was unwilling to join forces. He was alone and weak, so he secretly recorded Wei Liangqing's evil behavior. After meeting a thief in Feiyundu, he was accidentally picked up by his aunt Tian Shulan and her maid. Just now, the time was in a hurry. The emperor only asked Wei Liangqing about some of his crimes of tyranny. He had not had time to say such a small crime of corruption!" Zhu Yinglong wrote it without any flaws and had sent someone to bring a message to Li Yongzhen. I believe he knew what to do. It would be a pity to have a counterfeit master by his side. These so-called testimony were all from Zhou Qiyuan. Even Wei Zhongxian's confidants could not recognize whether it was Wei Zhongxian's own work. As long as Li Yongzhen admitted that it was written by himself, everything would be perfect.

Zhu Yinglong has one purpose today, killing people to establish his authority, so that people all over the world know that he is not afraid of Wei Zhongxian. Even Wei Zhongxian's nephew was killed. Then the next time is when he secretly expands his strength. As the saying goes, seeking wealth and honor in danger, how can you succeed without taking risks? Seeking stability is not the time. After the troubled times, it is the time to seek stability.

Be good, after so many crimes, there are also conclusive evidence and physical evidence. Emperor Tianqi couldn't do it if he didn't kill Wei Liangqing. Finally, Emperor Tianqi issued an order to seize the title of Duke Ningguo of Wei Liangqing, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate's Three Judicial Departments to investigate. After the crime was found, he submitted it to Emperor Tianqi for criticism.

As for the beautiful girl Tian Shulan, Empress Zhang Yanqiang took the person in front of Emperor Tianqi. In front of many ministers, everyone thought so. Tian Shulan must have met Wei Liangqing in the resistance. Such a woman cannot serve the emperor, and Wei Zhongxian was even more unwilling to Tian Shulan enter the palace. Such a woman stayed by Emperor Tianqi and was still the one who believed in King Zhu Youjian, which was really a disaster. Fortunately, the queen took her over and lived in Kunning Palace temporarily.

Zhu Yinglong smiled bitterly in his heart. In the end, he used this method to protect Tian Shulan. He also wanted Tian Shulan to be his own person. He found an opportunity to ask Emperor Tian Qi to order to remove Tian Shulan's beautiful daughter, so that he could embrace the beauty.
