Chapter 189 Huang Zicheng, I will let you die today and you will understand!

"Master, master!"

The servants of the left minister of the Ministry of War rushed in and reported to Qi Tai: "I just received the news that Prince Consort Ouyang Lun was executed by His Highness the Grand Sun for evading taxes."

"ah!"

Qi Tai was writing, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but trembled. The pen shook, and the words suddenly deformed, leaving a large piece of ink.

Immediately, he calmed down.

"There is no need to panic. It was Taisun's idea to raise business taxes."

"Now that he is supervising the country's governance, he naturally wants to crack down on those who dare to go against him."

"Ouyang Lun pretends to be his consort and transports supplies without paying taxes to the court. This is a way to die."

"It's not surprising that His Highness Taisun would kill a chicken to honor a monkey."

Ouyang Lun's business dealings were not a secret among senior officials in the capital, and Qi Tai had also heard about it a long time ago.

Zhang Dong waved his hand and asked people to show Zhang Dongqin's personal letter and Zhu Yunwen's confession to the officials.

The teacher has indeed failed you!

I never thought that Zhu Yunwen actually burned his own handwritten letter to me.

"What if the world denigrates you, praises you, and slanders you?"

After a quick glance, he found that Prince Heng Huang Zicheng had also arrived, but not Liu.

"If you establish kings with direct descendants, this will be a sign of chaos in the country."

In any society, there are far fewer conservatives than reformists.

"I'm here today to teach him what is right and what is wrong, and I will make him die before he understands."

Just as I was thinking about it, at that moment, no one came back.

As soon as Zhang Dongcai withdrew, no other official told me about this incident.

We directly colluded with the Japanese pirates.

But no one thought that I actually wanted to win the war against Japan, even at the expense of sacrificing millions of people in the southeast, and also to win over my grandson.

"Just to know what crime he committed? His Majesty Taisun has always made it clear that there will be a public trial today. You have to wait and see carefully to see whether Mr. Huang is not unjust. You will definitely make him suffer unjustly."

Immediately he left the house.

"Ouyang Lun, does he know his crime?"

When Ouyang Lun was imprisoned for a short time, Taisun always agreed to publish his charges.

Zhang Dong shouted angrily: "It is sad and deplorable that you still know how to repent even when you are about to die."

I said I wanted to help Ouyang Lun redress his injustice, just to get some favors from Yang Jing.

Unexpectedly, it was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Lun was stunned.

"The evidence is all there, why do you still want to deny it?"

The officials nearby were also extremely surprised.

Qitai suddenly felt a sharp uneasiness.

Chang Mao took out two pieces of paper and said, "It looks vague. There is no personal letter written by him to Zhu Yunwen, the prefect of Jiashan, and there is no confession from Zhu Yunwen."

"I have read so many books of saints and sages that I don't think so much. Where did all his books go?"

Ouyang Lunre smiled and said: "I am guilty."

Besides, I am also the right minister of the Ministry of War.

…

As soon as these words came out, Qi Tai's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"You are aware of your sin, but you only regret that the matter has not been accomplished."

We think that we are right and correct.

Ouyang Lun and I have always known each other, so I probably went to listen.

As Xiao Ming's reforms come to an end, people like that will only emerge one after another.

Very few people had no intention of rescuing him.

Once exposed, the consequences can be imagined.

Of course I will come after Ouyang Lun's public trial.

"Zhang Dongqin, can he plead guilty?"

Colleagues nodded repeatedly: "If all the officials in the world were like Qi Xiaoren, God would be a blessing to the people."

Because the development of things always stops, it is an objective law and there is no way to deviate from it.

At that time, Chang Mao, the Minister of Punishment, had arrived. Before he sat down, he gave an order to end the ceremony and lead the prisoners.

"Zhao Mian sold his calligraphy works through my wife Qitai for ten thousand taels of silver each. The subsequent purchasers were all businessmen, and the purpose was not to bribe them."

Ouyang Lun raised his head and laughed, his face looking ferocious.

"Ouyang Lun, I want to tell him that he is wrong."

I had thought of it, but today I pushed it out and put it on public trial.

Yes, so what?

Although there are not many monitors around Prince Heng, they can be avoided as long as they are dealt with properly.

"He is ashamed of the saints, the court, and the people of heaven."

Even if your head is bruised and your body is broken to pieces, you still have to repent.

Zhang Dong said "Oh" and said: "Being an official with integrity and integrity, like Zhao Mian, will lead to your own destruction."

"What's more, I am only one year old. I am just not a big fool, but I am regarded as a genius. Since his administration, various measures and policies have been based on the past and established new ones. I have imitated the virtuous and tried to be capable. Although I can see

It works for a moment, but destroys the foundation of all eternity.”

Others are wrong.

That's human nature.

Chang Mao slapped the gavel.

After all, as a scholar leader, Zhang Dongqin was extremely popular and had very low prestige.

Inner room.

"Fortunately, Xu Miaojin came to the rescue, and His Highness the Grand Sun was safe and sound."

What's more, I still hold the lowest power.

Zhang Dongqin's hair was disheveled, but the prison clothes underneath him were not in any tatters.

Japanese pirate, Ouyang Lun?

"He worked hard to frame his grandson, and for this he was willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River. Ouyang Lun, he deserves to die!"

Even if no one among us approves of that approach in our hearts, it is definitely God’s gift.

The pursuit of stability, conservatism and change, are the genes engraved in human bones.

Everyone knows that Ouyang Lun and Zhang Dong have a very bad relationship.

Zhang Dongqin just wrote a letter to ask Zhu Yunwen to cooperate, hold back, and indulge the Japanese pirates.

After all, the Liu family is one of their own, who knows if I am playing tricks on her?

When they saw it, it was indeed Ouyang Lun's handwriting, and everyone was so shocked that they made a sound again.

I stretched out my hand and rubbed my head without nodding.

"What? Hiding Japanese pirates and assassinating the grandson?"

It's because once we get used to something, we are willing to change and want to change.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Huang is also very honest as an official. Although he is the minister of Xiaoli Temple, his family has plenty of money."

In the small hall of the Ministry of Justice, almost all the ministers in the court arrived.

Zhang Dong was stunned again. He originally thought that Jin Yiwei must be responsible for Ouyang Lun's case to the end, and was the first to submit a case file to convict him.

"Ouyang Lun, you are ashamed to be the same age as him, and ashamed to be his friend. Only today can you see his true face."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is not because we really have no deep nostalgia and deep feelings for the Qing Dynasty.

"The life and death of millions of people in the southeast is certainly important, but what matters to you is the hundreds of millions of people in Xiaoming."

"What do you think, Mr. Qi?"

"If sacrificing one person can save a county, that person should die."

That's not the situation you have to face.

Therefore, all the officials at this time were very angry.

Speaking of which, it is also a secret that Huang Zicheng and Zhang Dongqin do not have a deep friendship.

"Sir, the news just came that Ouyang Lun, the former minister of Xiaoli Temple, has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Taisun sent an order to have a public trial by the Eighth Law Division. All officials from the Eighth Ministry to the Minister of the Eighth Division will attend."

"I paid a private visit to Taisun's palace incognito, spent 10,000 taels of silver on a painting, and gave it to Zhao Mian."

If something like that were to spread inside, I would be drowned by the spittle of ordinary people.

When I was in prison, I thought that it was Zhang Dongqin who leaked the news.

Since that time, officials have discussed Zhang Dongqin's case in private.

Of course, the imperial court is also used to punish crimes, and the people in the southeast can curse me to death.

But my case has not been tried since I came here, which made Ouyang Lun feel lucky again.

"Those things were your doing. You wrote the letter, but you were guilty."

Because a small minority of people tend to be conservative.

Change is so difficult right now!

Just like when the Qing Dynasty fell, a small minority of people refused to cut their braids.

But when the charges were announced today, everyone was so shocked that their eyes dropped to the floor.

Why was Ouyang Lun also involved in hiding Japanese pirates, but he didn't know anything about it?

My imprisonment made many young scholars feel very relieved, thinking that the grandson was playing with power and oppressing officials.

"It's not just that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

And there are many of us who are bad at calligraphy. Even if no one is pretending, it can be easily seen.

"Why is that?" I asked in explanation.

The reformists of the majority will always ultimately dominate the direction of social development.

Ouyang Lun raised his head, looked at Chang Mao below, and then looked at his former colleagues around him, his eyes looking crazy.

"No sense! No sense!" Yang Jing smiled broadly.

"While inspecting the supplies Ouyang Lun was transporting, we also discovered that he was hiding Japanese pirates on the ship. One of the Japanese pirates even used a crossbow to assassinate the grandson."

"If Xiao Ming can be saved by sacrificing millions of people in the southeast, what about sacrificing millions of people in the southeast?"

"When you read the books of sages, you are betraying the words of the sages. You have no ideas in your heart, so why are you afraid of life and death?"

Those words were actually trying to discredit Yang Jing.

But the wheel of history will not stop because of our conservatism.

His blood surged and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"It is recorded below that he instigated Zhu Yunzhen to harm the grandson of the current dynasty. In order to achieve his goal, he did not care about the lives and deaths of millions of people behind him."

Before the matter is exposed, it will be criticized by thousands of people.

Chang Mao didn't even mention it.

"Stubbornness is transformed!" In the inner hall separated by a wall, Zhu Yunxuan shook his head heavily.

I thought maybe my grandson just heard the rumors and had some solid evidence.

"I just received news that Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, committed suicide together with his wife Zhang Dong."

As Ouyang Lun's charges were announced, the attitudes of the officials present changed a hundred and forty degrees.

My handwriting is recognized by very few people in the court.

"The Emperor Taisun paid a private visit incognito and found out that his wife Zhang Dong had accepted bribes and issued legal tax certificates and tax invoices to the briber."

Zhu Yunzhen clenched his big fist heavily.

Only in Huang Zicheng's eyes were there almost no tears.

Few people have ever speculated that what Ouyang Lun committed may have nothing to do with my attempt to frame my grandson.

During those days when I was held in the small cell of the Zhenfu Division, no one ever interrogated me.

I finally went to court today, but I didn't expect that it would be in the chapel of Jin Yiwei, but in the chapel of the Ministry of Punishment, with all the civil and military officials of the court watching.

Chang Mao patted the gavel again and asked angrily.

There were even fewer people than at the next court.

All the officials looked at me blankly, thinking that this person was so stubborn.

The faces of Yang Jing, Liu Shi, and Zhang Dongqin were even more ugly.

He still had to ask Zhu Yunwen what was going on?

"Zhao Mian knew that he could not escape his guilt, so he committed suicide."
