Zhang Shen's accusation was so painful that every word was so heartbroken that he was not polite. What's more valuable is that he did his homework in advance, peeling off the cocoons and slightly deducting them. After a long speech, he suddenly gained the recognition of many people in the court.
Zhang Shen finally bowed to the ground and choked and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be observed. The imperial court ordered officials to collude with local commands to stir up a mutiny. He was a wise man to take troops and prepare for the deputy envoy of the Dao. Most of them had to torture confessions, for the sake of their own selfish interests.
, It is of great importance. If Your Majesty does not deal with it immediately, if everyone follows the example, the country may be in danger of overthrow. The empress suggests that another imperial envoy should be appointed to go to Tianjin Wei. On the one hand, Jiang Xin will be pardoned, and on the other hand, Xu will be temporarily taken
Qian, start with the Tianjin Wei commander, and the truth will be revealed at that time. The people who were slaughtered in Tanggu will be fair and Jiang Xin will be fair."
The final conclusion is almost fatal. In fact, everyone thinks that something is strange about the mutiny. Why don’t mutiny sooner or later? But mutiny at this time? It’s just... it’s just because someone is provoking it. Who will benefit the most? To put it bluntly
It's just Xu Qian, so I thoroughly investigated Xu Qian, but I couldn't take action from Xu Qian, because Xu Qian was a attendant and was not easy to punish him, but he could temporarily put him under house arrest. The most appropriate entry point should be the Tianjin Wei Commander Hong
Kuan, because of a rebellion, he had no choice but torture. Since this is the case, he will punish his crime first, and there will be a chance to torture. As long as he cannot survive the punishment, he must confess who colluded with him. At that time, all the truth will be
All surfaced.
Many of the court officials nodded secretly and felt it was reasonable. At this time, someone stood up and said, "I have to discuss it with great importance. If you need to investigate thoroughly, you must investigate it thoroughly. The court will not wrongly accuse the good people.
You must not let go of a treacherous person, and even if it involves a mutiny, you must be careful.”
Many people came out to respond, and ministers stood up like a lantern: "I'm going to discuss it."
Jiajing couldn't help but frown. He was already prepared to deal with it, but he was just pretending to be stupid. Who knew that today was so intense? He squinted his eyes and didn't say a word. He didn't care about it yet, but at this time, someone was in a hurry.
The eunuch hurried in because His Majesty had an order. If there was news from Tianjin Wei, he would need to report it immediately whenever and wherever he was discussing it. It was logically a very rude act, but it was just a matter of fact.
Because Jiajing's order did not add a court discussion in advance, countless ministers rolled their eyes.
It's really outrageous. The court discussion was about what occasion, and the eunuch broke in as soon as he said it. What does Your Majesty mean? Is it because there is no such etiquette in the palace?
Jiajing is now like someone has relieved him of the siege. Although he knows that when he gets it, someone will definitely scold the palace for not having any rules. Now he doesn’t care about so much and hurriedly says, “Come on, hand it over.”
A memorial was handed over, and the memorial was sent by Xu Jie. Xingye was all about the process of the Tianjin Wei case. The final conclusion was that the person behind the scenes of this case was Jiang Xin.
It would be fine if Jiang Xin just confessed his guilt and was punished. What is even more terrifying is that even those gang members who killed innocent people have already obtained it. More than 40 living people have confessed their guilt, and their confessions have also pointed to one person.
—Jiang Xin.
With a witness, the crime is true. If it is an ordinary person, maybe you can do it and let someone do perjury, but these more than 40 accomplices cannot force them to do perjury. After all, they
It is also a death row. Since it is a death row, what are you using to threaten them? Moreover, this case involves 'treason'. The crime of treason is certainly not cut into pieces, but it is not impossible to kill the clan. It has reached their level.
, no longer threatened, and he was unanimously accusing Jiang Xin of the mastermind.
In this way, the facts are very clear. Jiang Xin is the mastermind, and there is absolutely no doubt. Not only are these accomplices arrested, but even the head of the Jiang family has been brought to justice. It was Jiang Xin who ordered the head to go and search again.
After these gangs, the group of gangs finally killed innocent people in Tanggu, disguised themselves as merchants, took the road guide issued by Tianjin guards and fled far away to Shandong.
Xu Jie has also investigated the checkpoints along the way. On the day of the incident, a group of merchants who were guiding the Tianjin guards on the road appeared. This proves that these people are indeed the real culprits who harmed the people of Tanggu. It is precisely because of the military preparations.
The road is protected, so the road is unobstructed, and the officers and soldiers along the way have no suspicion, but they just think that the caravan has something to do with the military and military road, or the owner of the caravan is the brother-in-law of the military road, or the government office of the caravan is the brother-in-law of the military road, or the government office.
Brothers and the like, this is very common, and the officers and soldiers on the checkpoints along the way naturally dare not search.
The head of the Jiang family, his accomplices and officers and soldiers from various checkpoints have finally confirmed that there is no need for Jiang Xin's confession at all, and this case has been officially concluded.
Deng Jian was only framed, and according to the report, Jiang Xin was indeed greedy for money during his tenure, but he enslaved Tianjin Guards to serve as hard labor. Such deeds have proved that what happened to Tianjin Guards and anyone else
It doesn't matter, the only thing that has something to do is this Jiang Xin.
After reading the report, Jiajing looked gloomy and terrible. He glanced at the ministers in the hall, but saw that Zhang Shen was about to open his mouth and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!" Jiajing shouted loudly, his voice and expression were stern!
Zhang Shen was shocked. He was a censor. How could the emperor let him stop talking? However, Jiajing knew that he was in anger at first sight. He was short of breath and did not dare to speak anymore.
Jiajing pondered for a moment, and the entire Chongwen Hall was quiet. No one knew what happened, and what the memorial sent was about.
After a long time, Jiajing had an idea and immediately said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Wang, come with me."
After saying that, he quickly went down to the palace with a memorial and led a group of eunuchs and guards to the warm house.
The ministers in the court were confused, and no one knew why the emperor was so strange. Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao looked at each other and rushed to the warm room. However, they left this minister but didn't know what to do. After all,
The emperor didn't say that the court would go away and it seemed inappropriate to leave now, so he could only stand there.
Zhang Chan now regrets a little. As a censor, he was scolded by the emperor. It's so great. I knew I should show some kindness and directly confronted the emperor. But now I think about it, it seems that I didn't think so.
It was like I was in the wrong, and I missed a chance to be a straight minister.
Compared with the cold Chongwen Hall, the warm pavilion is much more comfortable. The whole pavilion is hot, with thousands of kilograms of firewood and coal burning underground in this warm pavilion, making it seem like a warm spring even though it is early winter.
Jiajing handed the memorial to Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao for circulating it. After Yang Tinghe saw the memorial, he was shocked. Not only was this Jiang Xin so cruel, but he was even more shocked by the group of royal lieutenants.
In order to seize the thief, more than 200 royal lieutenants did not rest, sleep, eat or drink, and traveled all the way from early morning to the next day, and then seized a group of thieves with zero casualties. These thieves were both habitual bandits.
It is another defeated enemy, so it is impossible to surrender. At this time, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh: "The Wuying Palace Captain is the best in the world, I'm aware of it."
Yang Tinghe didn't touch much on his face. Things were clear, so he naturally wouldn't play any tricks anymore. For him, it doesn't matter if this thing can be accomplished, but it doesn't matter if it can't be done. After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet and has not interfered too much.
necessary.
When Wang Ao saw the memorial, he was amazed and couldn't help but say: "What Mr. Yang said is not bad, and he is the best in the world. The captain of the Wuying Palace is indeed worthy of his name."
Both of them chose to avoid the important things in a tacit understanding, and suddenly praised the captain of Wuying Palace, but avoided talking about Jiang Xin's affairs.
Because there is a problem in Jiang Xin that no one can avoid. I am afraid that this is also the reason why Jiajing asked them to come to secretly trade. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to publish it directly to the public during the court discussion?
The two of them guessed that they were right. Jiajing looked cold and said, "What do you think Jiang Xin will do?"
This is strange. Even though it is a serious crime of treason, he still has to ask others how to deal with it. The reason why he asked this is because there is a procedural problem.
The problem is that after Jiajing ascended the throne, Zhengde was distinguished everywhere. Jiajing also issued an order to denounce Zhengde's appointment of evil spirits. Although in the Jiajing Dynasty, there were many messy and dirty things, but Jiang Bin of Zhengde Dynasty,
Liu Jin and others are really nothing compared to each other.
But now, just under the feet of the emperor, Jiang Xin actually appeared. Jiang Xin is a man with great sin. His sin is probably no less than Liu Jin. If he had made this person's evil things public, what would have been the result?
No matter how bad Liu Jin is, Emperor Zhengde has dealt with it, and Jiang Xin is even worse. Although the emperor also needs to deal with it, what will he think in the eyes of the world?
What Jiajing needs to consider is this issue of face.
That's why he asked Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao what to do, because Jiajing was unwilling to publish the memorial to the public. Once it was published, it would definitely cause an uproar.
