Chapter 530 The old man recognizes the way to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!
boom!!!
Hearing Wen Hu's words, everyone in the palace seemed to have a thunderclap in their minds.
Incredibility is written on everyone's face.
Especially Chen Changyun, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
Wen Tai, who had been fighting against everyone before, couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were full of shock.
Yuan Xiu stood on the steps and said, "Wen Hu, do you want to testify against your uncle?"
Wen Hu said seriously: "Your Majesty, in my heart, there is only right and wrong, nothing else."
Yuan Xiu asked: "What is your evidence?"
Wen Hu said: "My uncle originally asked me to contact Cui Wuming, but I objected to my uncle killing Chen Shangshu, so my uncle sent his loyal uncle to go there. Mr. Dong, before going to court, I had
Uncle Zhong has been sent to prison."
"brute!"
Wen Tai became anxious, kicked Wen Hu and shouted angrily: "You were brought up by Uncle Zhong, if you throw him into prison, can he still survive?!"
Wen Hu couldn't avoid being kicked by Wen Tai, and said without changing his expression: "Uncle Zhong has fallen into this fate because of you."
"You treacherous son!" Wen Tai was trembling with anger.
Wen Hu hugged Dong Xiao and said, "Uncle Zhong has already written his testimony. He will tell you whatever you want to know. Please be kind to Mr. Dong. He is old, so don't let him suffer."
Dong Xiao said: "The punishment of the imperial edict is to deal with those who are dishonest. The use of punishment is only a means and not an end. If you are willing to be punished, there is no need to use punishment."
With that said, Dong Xiao glanced at Wentai and asked, "I just don't understand why the Zuo Prime Minister would do this? Cui Wuming is not from the Zuo Xiangfu, so if he is asked to kill Chen Ke, the Zuo Xiangfu can obviously put aside the relationship.
And why let him imitate the Impermanence Sword?"
"Humph!" Wen Tai snorted coldly, turned away, and said coldly: "What do you know!"
Wen Hu said: "My uncle tainted himself in this way because he was sure that you would not be able to find evidence and you would not be able to convict him. At the same time, you could sow discord between Your Majesty and Xu Qingshan."
Yuan Xiu walked down the steps, looked at Wen Tai with a sigh, and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, you really have good intentions!"
Wen Tai said proudly: "I owe nothing to Your Majesty. I have done nothing but merit for Dajing."
"Really?" Yuan Xiu walked up to Wen Tai, and Dian Chen followed closely as a personal guard.
"Look at these evidences of corruption. Headed by you, the left prime minister, how much money have the left party officials embezzled in total?"
"Where were you when the court was short of money?"
"When there was a shortage of military funds for fighting Ye Dan, did you get the money?"
"When there was a shortage of money to build the Xishan Dam, did you take the money?"
"When the local government was short of disaster relief funds, did you get the money?"
"You relied on the power given to you by the imperial court to move boxes of money to your own homes. You earned money from the people of Dajing, but you turned a blind eye to the difficulties of the imperial court and the people. You still have the nerve to say that you have contributed to Dajing but not faulted it.
??”
“Do you think I’m a fool?!”
Facing Yuan Xiu's questions, Wen Tai finally couldn't stand it anymore and staggered back.
Du Xuhe quickly stepped out of the queue to help Wen Tai, then fell to his knees and shouted: "You are wronged! Both the left prime minister and us are wronged!"
Yuan Xiu pointed at Du Xuhe and said loudly: "You are wronged! The person who is least wronged is you. You are the biggest corrupt official in this dynasty!"
Du Xuhe said: "Your Majesty, I need to tell you the evidence!"
Wen Hu interjected: "Your Majesty, I have already compiled the corruption evidence of left party officials into a book, and also included the income and expenditure of the left prime minister's office."
With that said, Wen Hu looked at He Yin and continued: "Before going to court, I have sent the booklet to the Ministry of Punishment."
Wen Hu's betrayal made He Yin a little confused. He nodded blankly to Wen Hu and said, "There is Uncle Laosha County."
Du Xuhe sat down on the ground, knowing that it was useless to argue anymore, with a look of despair on his face.
Yuan Xiu gave Prime Minister Zuo a cold look, turned around and walked towards the steps.
"Dong Xiao! He Yin!"
"exist!!"
"You arrest people based on Uncle Shaxian's book and take all relevant people to prison. Don't let anyone go!"
"yes!!"
"As for the left prime minister, he should be removed from office first and sent to the Ministry of Justice!"
"Haha, hahaha..." Wen Tai suddenly laughed, and everyone looked at him.
"I have been doing well all my life, but I didn't expect that I would eventually fall into the hands of one of my own people. I really have raised a white-eyed wolf!"
Wen Tai sighed, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the hall in a big way.
When a guard came to escort him, he shouted angrily: "I know the way to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Wen Hu knelt down facing Wen Tai's back and kowtowed heavily.
"Lu Zhao!"
"Du Xuhe!"
"Zhang Baiguan..."
Dong Xiao called out the names and arranged for the guards to take away the left party officials from the palace one by one.
Seeing that many people were missing from the palace, all the officials were sighing. They did not expect that the Left Prime Minister would fall so quickly, and they did not expect that today's turmoil would end in this way.
Everyone focused their attention on Wen Hu, who was still kneeling facing the palace door with a determined look on his face.
"Wenhu." Yuan Xiu shouted while sitting on the dragon chair.
"I'm here!" Wen Hu immediately stood up, walked a few steps towards the steps, and knelt down again.
"You killed your relatives out of righteousness and served well in protecting the country. I will reward you well."
Wen Hu cupped his fists and said: "I am not doing this for the sake of glory and wealth, but because I am an official of Dajing, so I have to do things that are beneficial to Dajing!"
"You don't have to, but I have to reward you." Yuan Xiu thought for a moment, patted the armrest with his fingers, and said: "According to the decree, from now on, Wen Hu will be promoted to the title of Marquis of Shaxian County, and he will be promoted to walk on the central platform with a sword!"
Wen Hu suddenly bowed down and said: "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness!"
Hearing this, all the officials secretly looked at Yuan Xiu and Wen Hu with strange eyes.
Wen Hu was Wen Tai's nephew and the purest leftist. Even if he rebelled and betrayed Wen Tai, the emperor should be on guard against him. Even if his previous crimes were not settled, he should not be rewarded like this.
He actually sealed him directly!
Moreover, although walking around with a sword on the central dais was an official position casually given by the emperor, and it sounded like a guard, in fact, he had entered the core level of the central dais, second only to the four ministers of the central dais.
Gradually, the officials figured it out.
I am afraid that this civil servant has already turned to the emperor's side. He is the emperor's secret thorn in the Zuo Xiang Mansion!
From now on, there will be one less civil servant in the court, but there will be more civil servants.
He must be the new dignitary of Dajing.
Baiguan can think of it, and so can Yuan Li.
Looking up at the emperor's brother sitting on the dragon chair, Yuan Li was beating his heart, thinking that he was still a little less scheming than the emperor's brother.
He didn't know how good the relationship between the emperor brother and Wen Hu was, or what other secrets the emperor brother knew.
A feeling like a light on my back arose spontaneously.
