The two came out of prison, and Dai Zhou still looked at the confession in his hand with disbelief.
Ma Zhiyuan pleaded guilty before.
But he only admits his sins.
There is no news about the person behind the scenes.
But now he is holding news about the behind-the-scenes commander Li Xiaogong, the Qizhou Incident.
Although everyone had previously speculated that Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong was behind the scenes of the whole matter, no one had any definite evidence.
But the situation is different now. Ma Zhiyuan, the number one figure in the Qizhou officialdom, proved that Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian, was the mastermind behind the whole matter.
This means different.
But what Dai Zhou didn't understand was why Zhao Chen had to sing a counter-tune with the emperor?
We must reveal the identity of the master behind the scenes.
Even now Dai Zhou doesn’t know whether this confession document should be presented to the emperor?
"His Royal Highness, this confession document..."
"The confession documents are reviewed and archived with the Ministry of Justice, and then the Ministry of Justice is handed over to the Shangshu Province, and then the Minister of Justice is approved by Fang Xiang and Wei Xiang." Zhao Chen took over Dai Zhou's words.
Dai Zhou was slightly shocked.
Zhao Chen asked him to do this, obviously trying to make trouble for this matter.
Could it be that Zhao Chen really wants to deal with Li Xiaogong at the same time?
"The emperor is kind to his brothers, but this does not mean that Li Xiaogong can do whatever he wants. Since he has made a mistake, he should pay the price."
"What I don't want to see is that after this matter is resolved, Li Xiaogong can return to the court." Zhao Chen seemed to be explaining to Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou seemed to understand a little.
The emperor has not dealt with Li Xiaogong now, and maybe Li Xiaogong can really return to the court in the future.
This is extremely unfair to the courtiers.
The so-called emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he was a Hejian prince.
If Li Xiaogong is being brought back to the court in the future, the so-called Tang Dynasty law will really become a joke.
"Although Ma Zhiyuan's evidence is evidence, we do not have any direct evidence to prove that Li Xiaogong is the main instructor of this matter."
"So it can't kill him."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as Li Xiaogong can't appear in the court again in the future, there will be nothing wrong." Zhao Chen said again.
Dai Zhou nodded.
As long as Li Xiaogong is suspected, all officials will not accept the fact that he returns to the court.
This also completely cut off Li Xiaogong's future path.
"Your Majesty has the assistance of His Highness the King of Han, although it is my blessing in the Tang Dynasty!"
"It's just that His Highness the King of Han will probably be evil to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor will be furious at that time." Dai Zhou understood Zhao Chen's meaning.
But at the same time, he was also worried that the emperor would think that Zhao Chen would do this and deliberately oppose him.
Then I will inevitably hate Zhao Chen.
This is not a good thing for Zhao Chen.
"That's okay." Zhao Chen smiled calmly.
Anyway, he was about to go to the front line, so he didn't care whether the emperor was angry or not.
If Lee Hyo-gong can really return to the court, this will be the biggest disadvantage for everyone.
The two of them did not speak anymore, but returned to the Dali Temple Office.
The children and students of the businessmen in the yamen have sorted out the interrogation case almost exactly.
When they saw the two of them coming back, they hurriedly got up to greet them.
"This is Ma Zhiyuan's latest confession. Go to the Ministry of Justice to invite the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice to come over." Dai Zhou handed the confession in his hand to one of the businessmen's children and students.
The above content happened to be seen by the children of businessmen and students.
Seeing Ma Zhiyuan's latest confession and the Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong whom he verified, the faces of the businessman's children and students also changed drastically.
"Mr. Dai, is this true?" The businessman's children and students seemed a little unbelievable, and looked at Dai Zhou in surprise.
"Of course it's true, go quickly." Dai Zhou nodded, then looked at Zhao Chen again.
He didn't know what kind of scene would happen after the incident became a big deal?
...
"Fang Xiang, look at this." The next morning, Fang Xuanling had just arrived at the Shangshu Provincial Government Office and was pulled aside by Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng took out a note from his arms, and then handed it to Fang Xuanling with a cautious look on his face.
"What's wrong, this is it like this?" Fang Xuanling smiled, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Wei Zheng rarely talks to himself in this way.
What could be so mysterious, or so worried.
"You see first!" Wei Zheng shook his head and did not explain to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling smiled, and then opened the fold in his hand.
But after taking a look, Fang Xuanling's expression changed immediately.
He thought the matter in Qizhou had been almost resolved, but the note in his hand told him that the matter was far from over.
Zhao Chen actually went to Dali Temple prison to interrogate Ma Zhiyuan himself.
The key point is that Ma Zhiyuan even said the name of the person instructing the person behind the scenes.
Although it is just a name and no other content, it is enough to cause a huge wave in the court.
"What is His Highness the King of Han doing?"
"Didn't you say before that His Highness the King of Han did not express his opinion on Li Xiaogong's matter?" Fang Xuanling was a little confused.
Wei Zheng also had a serious expression on his face.
Although he did not go to see Zhao Chen directly, when he met Cheng Yaojin, he learned that Zhao Chen did not intend to continue to pursue the truth behind the scenes.
But what is going on now?
"I don't know either. Now that the matter is in our hands, how should we do it?" Wei Zheng shook his head and then asked Fang Xuanling.
This matter involves major issues.
Should they report to the emperor immediately?
"Your Majesty the Emperor did not impose the punishment he deserved to be. It is estimated that His Highness of the King of Han was worried that Hejian would return to the court one day."
"But if you report it directly to His Majesty, His Majesty will probably annoy the King of Han."
"And this matter was directly handed over to the Secretariat from the Ministry of Justice, and it is probably the idea of ​​His Highness the King of Han himself, otherwise he could have handed over to His Majesty the Emperor to deal with it." Fang Xuanling said slowly.
I immediately understood why this memorial came to the Shangshu Province?
Wei Zheng's face was slightly dark, and Zhao Chen's actions would undoubtedly anger the emperor.
Moreover, doing so would not be of any benefit to Zhao Chen himself.
He couldn't quite understand why Zhao Chen made such a choice.
"Then let's review this memorandum directly and hand it to His Majesty the Emperor?" Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling asked.
Fang Xuanling nodded.
It seems that this is the safest way to do it now.
Zhao Chen probably hopes they do this too.
Otherwise, why should the Ministry of Justice hand over the memorial to the Secretariat?
"I just don't know what His Highness the King of Han is thinking. In fact, His Majesty's previous attitude was already very clear, but he was unwilling to hold the Prince of Hejian responsible."
"Otherwise..." Fang Xuanling shook his head again, and then did not continue to say.
Wei Zheng also understood what he meant.
"Then let's find someone to review the memorandum." Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling said.
Chapter completed!
