Zhu Youjian glanced at Wei Zhongxian, with hesitation on his face: "Sister-in-law, this..."

Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Wei Zhongxian is related to the treasure ship case."

There was another commotion among the ministers of His Highness, but Zhang Yan didn't expect Zhang Yan to bring this matter up.

"Sister-in-law, you say that Mr. Wei was involved in the treasure ship case, do you have evidence?"

"Yes." Zhang Yan presented the folder in her hand.

Zhu Youjian looked at Wei Zhongxian, pondered for a while, and winked at the guards in front of the hall.

The man took the booklet from Zhang Yan and sent it to Zhu Youjian.

Flipping through the content of the brochure, Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "Where is Lin Sanhe's witness?"

Zhang Yan said, "Just wait outside."

"Xuan."

Not long after the order was handed down, Lin Yue led a person into the hall from outside.

Wei Zhongxian thought of a sentence - raising tigers is a problem.

Although he has always used Lin San as a tool, it is still a bit difficult to face the situation where the tool has turned his army against him. As for the person who went to court with Lin San... Seeing that face, he felt like swallowing As sick as a fly.

Guo Zhen.

Yes, the eunuch Guo Zhen was in charge of the former internal official supervisor, but how could Guo Zhen fall into Lin San's hands?

Wei Zhongxian had a very bad premonition.

"Lin San, now in the main hall, there are all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about Wei Zhongxian harming you. Tell the truth about your investigation of the treasure ship case, and the emperor will naturally uphold justice for you."

After Lin Yue finished his ceremony, Zhang Yan, who was given a side seat by Zhu Youjian, stood up and said encouragingly.

"yes."

Lin Yue agreed, and glanced at the ministers present: "In June of this year, the first emperor was playing in Taiye Pond. Unexpectedly, the newly built treasure ship sank, and the first emperor accidentally fell into the water. Since then, he has suffered from the root of the disease. The crane goes westward. Jinyiwei and Dongchang De Xianhuang ordered the investigation of the treasure ship case. In July, Guo Zhen, the eunuch who was in charge of the internal affairs supervisor, was ambushed in Jinling Tower and disappeared. On the same day, Ling Yunkai, the general banner of Jinyiwei, was severely injured by a man named Zhou Tai. Pei Lun, a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiwei South Town, went to investigate the incident, because Pei Lun had an affair with Zhou Taizhi's accomplice Yin Cheng, Chen Linsan was appointed by Wei Zhongxian to supervise Pei Lun to handle the case."

"During the investigation of this case, Chen and Pei Lun found out that Guo Zhen had a connection with Beizhai, a member of the Donglin party, so they joined the investigation together. As the investigation deepened, Chen found that things were more complicated than imagined. Guo Zhen might Involved in the Treasure Ship Case, the reason why he disappeared in ambush is probably because the mastermind behind the Treasure Ship Case wanted to kill people to silence him."

"What happened later further confirmed my guess. On the day Zheng Zhang of the East Factory took over Jinyiwei's document warehouse, someone raided the document warehouse at night and set it on fire. The internal officials' shipbuilding supervision documents sealed inside were burned. There is a Hokusai to check."

"Later, I found out about the movements of Shen Lian and the others through the collected information, and immediately went to Shandong to get them. How did I know that Lu Wenzhao, a thousand householder of Jinyiwei, and his party members appeared at this time, disrupting the minister's trapping plan. At that time, Xu Xianchun, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, appeared with a brigade and killed Lu Wenzhao and others. Zhou Tai jumped into the Yellow River with Beizhai, and his life and death are unknown."

"Based on the idea of ​​seeing people alive and dead, I visited both sides of the Yellow River many times and found that there is a possibility that Zhou Tai and Beizhai survived. At this time, Wei Zhongxian ordered the minister to stop the investigation and return to Beijing to report on his work. The minister returned After Beijing, he reported Zhou Tai's possible survival and Lu Wenzhao's suspected murder, and asked to continue digging into the treasure ship case, but Wei Zhongxian dispatched the warehouse to inspect and liquidate the inventory."

"However, the queen's empress is holy, and the Zhichen has a heart to pursue the truth, so she transferred the minister to the Kunning Palace as a cover, and the minister continued to secretly visit the treasure ship case. During the time when the late emperor held the funeral, Wei Zhongxian's precautions weakened. I found some clues while searching Lu Wenzhao's home, and then followed the clues to find Guo Zhen, who was under house arrest in a semi-abandoned courtyard in Shuntian Mansion."

"According to Guo Zhen's account, both he and Lu Wenzhao were under Wei Zhongxian's subordinates, and Wei Zhongxian concocted the Treasure Ship case with the purpose of assassinating the late emperor. As for the later statement that Guo Zhen had an affair with Beizhai and other Donglin party members, I think that This is all a series of tricks Wei Zhongxian uses to confuse the public, to blame disobedient officials, and to suppress dissidents. Even the fire in Jinyiwei's document library may be a bitter drama written and directed by Wei Zhongxian. The battle on the North Shore was also when Wei Zhongxian knew that the minister had already laid a net. Once Bei Zhai and Zhou Tai were captured, he would know the truth. Of course he would not sit back and watch this happen, so he sent Lu Wenzhao to chase and kill Bei Zhai and others, disrupting the minister's plan. plan, and later ordered Xu Xianchun to kill Lu Wenzhao and others regardless of personality, in order to kill them and silence them."

Speaking of which, the audience was completely silent, civil servants and military generals looked at me and I looked at you, all with blank faces.

At the beginning of the Treasure Ship case, Jin Yiwei was investigating, but it was taken over by Dongchang just at the beginning, and Dongchang was under the absolute control of Wei Zhongxian, outsiders could not get any information about the progress of the case. Now Lin Yue said so much in one breath , The amount of information is so large that it cannot be digested for a while.

How did this matter have anything to do with Wei Zhongxian? It stands to reason that he should not assassinate the late emperor, after all, everything he had was given by the late emperor——some shrewd officials began to doubt the authenticity of Lin Yue's speech.

"Lin San, I can't figure out why Wei Qing wanted to harm the emperor."

Zhu Youjian asked questions that they wanted to ask but were not easy to ask.

"For the throne." Lin Yue looked at Wei Zhongxian coldly: "Wei Zhongxian's couple, Hakka, was the late emperor's wet nurse. It was because of the late emperor's love for the wet nurse that he was able to become an excellent minister and achieve what he is today."

This is a well-known thing.

"In the summer of this year, the late emperor once told Empress Yi'an that Wei Zhongxian's Daxing Literary Prison was not what the late emperor wanted, and he intended to order Fengsheng's wife, Hakka, to move out of the palace. The attitudes of the two changed, so they accelerated their plan of exchanging posts. Because the late emperor had no heirs, the two secretly selected pregnant women and sent them to the palace and arranged them to sleep with them, pretending to be pregnant with dragon sons. When the late emperor was sick in bed, Ke Shi once said that once a pregnant maid gave birth to a baby, she would become the heir apparent. Empress Yi'an advised her repeatedly after learning about it, but the late emperor finally did not agree with Ke Shi's proposal. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the Ke family was worried that the matter would be exposed, so they took the pregnant maids out of the palace to murder them, and I wanted to capture the perpetrators, and they are now under custody outside the palace."

As soon as this remark came out, many officials remembered the story of Lu Buwei in the pre-Qin period, and then contacted Zhu Youxiao for so many years. The heirs he had obtained over the years were either stillborn or died strangely. They believed Lin Yue's words 70% to 80%.

"You...you...spitting blood." Wei Zhongxian pointed at Lin Yue and cursed. He never thought that this kid's mouth was so vicious. The treasure ship case was obviously done by Zhu Youjian, and the younger brother killed his elder brother to get the throne. It's really not a rare thing, but when the boy turned a corner, he assassinated the emperor. The key is that it is also connected with the matter of collecting pregnant women and sending them to the palace. The two things are not next to each other. Put together a conspiracy.

"Wei thief, you have corrupted the imperial court, you are bold enough to plot rebellion, and everyone will punish you." Lin Yue turned his head to look at Zhu Youjian, clasped his fists and said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send the Hakka family to the palace to confront the witnesses. In addition, the murdered court lady His body has also been found, and now it is properly kept outside the city, and the emperor can send officials from the Ministry of Punishment and court ladies to identify it."

Wei Zhongxian was furious, he didn't expect that he would be caught by wild geese all day long, which made a little eunuch feel bad. The key is that he can’t tell the truth, so it’s hard to tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that the treasure ship case was not done by me, but by the current emperor Zhu Youjian. The key point is that you have to produce evidence, but the evidence is there——Guo Zhen , Is it possible for him to identify Zhu Youjian? If you really want to do this, it will be tantamount to forcing Zhu Youjian to the side of Empress Yi'an, and there is no room for change.

Zhu Youjian looked at Empress Yi'an, Zhang Yan, and then at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, with a look of perplexity, and finally sighed: "Ms. Xuanke."

The guards in front sang: "Xuan Ke's family goes to the hall."

...

Two hours later.

Today's morning court has lasted for a long time, but none of the civil and military officials dared to complain, because the incident was too big.

At this moment, Ke Shi collapsed in the hall, his face was so pale that no trace of blood could be seen.

This is what many people expected, because since Empress Yi'an dared to come to the Qing Palace to participate in the Qing Dynasty, she must have a lot of evidence. It is difficult for the Ke family who was caught off guard to stand up... It is as difficult as going to the blue sky.

The death lady-the child in the death lady's belly-the confession of the death lady's family-the murderer's confession-the testimony of the court lady who knew the death lady-plus the testimony of Empress Yi'an.

These are all linked together to point to Ke Shi, and she can't even argue.

"Well, you are a Hakka. Brother Huang thinks that you have been kind to him in nurturing him, you have loved you in every possible way, and you have never treated you badly. I never thought that you had ulterior motives and wanted to steal the great treasure by stealing the beam. You are so vicious, even if you are late, you will not be able to get rid of it." I hate you in my heart, but I think you are a girl and the emperor's brother's nurse, so I will give you a decent way to die."

Zhu Youjian patted the armrest of the dragon chair: "Come on, drag Keshi to the clothing bureau and flog him to death."

The guards on duty outside the hall walked into the hall, set up the Hakka family who shouted "forgive me" and walked towards the Huanyi Bureau. No one in the civil and military courts dared to intercede, and what was even more surprising was that Wei Zhongxian's expression did not change much. .

Why is there no change? There is a reason.
