Chapter three hundred and seventy-six preemptive ministers have iron evidence
One night is enough for Chang Xiao to understand too many changes in the court. After all, Chang Xiao has only been away for more than ten days. Everything that happened in these ten days was all learned through Chang Sheng and some servants of the Chang family.
It is clear, even if it is not completely understood, it can be said that it is almost inseparable. After all, the changes in the past ten days, no matter how bizarre, are not too unexpected by Chang Xiao.
Before Chang Xiao came, he had already put Jin Yun Ping'er and others into the purple gourd. Even some servants who had cultivated their true energy had also put them away. If things changed beyond his expectation, he would directly
After fighting and escaping, Chang Xiao became very relaxed and casual when he stood in the morning.
In today's morning court, Chongzhen is optimistic, Changxiao is relaxed, and all the officials are sad and angry!
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and naturally looked at Chang Xiao who was standing there alone. Chongzhen's eyes and Chang Xiao's eyes met each other. What Chongzhen saw was that Chang Xiao was born because he ordered his house to be confiscated.
The meaning of resentment. After all, Chang Xiao was not an ordinary minister and had the right to resent him as the emperor. Chongzhen was not surprised at all that Chang Xiao had such resentment. On the contrary, he felt that Chang Xiao's expression of this expression meant that they were close to each other.
In addition, the fact that Chang Xiao came to the morning court showed that Chang Xiao was not particularly resentful of him. Otherwise, with Chang Xiao's cultivation level, he could just walk away and everyone would break up. Chongzhen would not be able to use his limited resources specifically for this purpose.
He sent troops to hunt him down, but Chang Xiao still went to court, which shows that the conflict between them is not insoluble.
I have to say that Chongzhen's reasoning is not wrong. The only thing wrong is that the initial basis of Chongzhen's reasoning is wrong. If he knew that Chang Xiao was also a being with dragon energy, what he deduced would definitely not be like this.
!
What Chang Xiao saw in his eyes was Chongzhen's kind smile, and a slight hint of apology.
It was a great favor for an emperor to show kindness to a minister like this, but unfortunately, Chang Xiao was not an ordinary person. If Chongzhen wanted to apologize and give up his chair, that would be the best outcome.
Chongzhen does not need to blame You Changxiao. Only one person with dragon energy can survive. Chongzhen did not have the ability to discover Chang Xiao's identity. This is Chongzhen's biggest failure. Chang Xiao can hide his dragon energy. This is
The greatest success is that before Chang Xiao succeeds, as long as Chongzhen discovers that he has dragon energy in his body due to slight negligence, he will be doomed. Chang Xiao is like climbing on a cliff. Standing on the top of the cliff is Chongzhen. As long as Chongzhen discovers
If Chang Xiao is killed, a stone can knock him off the cliff. But if Chongzhen cannot find it, as long as Chang Xiao can climb up the cliff and stand behind Chongzhen, he can kick Chongzhen off the cliff. In fact, it is like this
Just a simple game.
The two people only looked at each other for a moment. Chongzhen then looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, and his eyes flashed slightly. These officials were all mediocre and incompetent. They were worse than pigs. They were just a waste of food.
, can’t eat meat yet! From time to time, he jumps up and bites the owner in an attempt to occupy the owner’s position. It’s really abominable!
But Chongzhen couldn't do anything without the officials, so he could only endure it and work harder.
All the officials looked at each other in private, and one of the fourth-rank officials suddenly raised his head. This was a gloomy, dark and cold face. It was Zhang Fengxian, Mr. Zhang's father. At this time, his eyes were full of hatred, and his eyes were burning with blazing fire.
, wishing to burn Chang Xiao into ashes, he held up a thick stack of memorials, his whole body trembled with emotion, and he opened his mouth to say something.
But at this moment Chang Xiao opened his mouth and said loudly: "I, Chang Xiao, have a plan to report!"
The voice was loud and loud, and Zhang Fengxian's words were immediately suppressed.
All the officials were stunned and looked at Chang Xiao.
Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "Chang Aiqing, please speak."
Chang Xiao said: "Yesterday, two fake eunuchs delivered false imperial edicts to my palace, and something like this happened at the feet of the emperor. It can be said to be extremely audacious. I thought there must be someone behind it, so I tortured them, and it turned out that
It turns out that the person in charge is the current Marquis. A Marquis pretended to pass on imperial edicts and raided the homes of courtiers. I wonder what he wanted?"
Um?
The officials were stunned. Didn't they say that Chang Xiao and Chongzhen would cover up this matter? Why did Chang Xiao dare to talk about it in such a big way? No, Chang Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to make the matter bigger!
After the officials were stunned for a moment, cold sweat broke out on their necks. Chang Xiao last time turned a small matter of jealousy into a catastrophe of bloodshed, confiscation of homes and annihilation of families. Hundreds of families were destroyed and killed.
With tens of thousands of people, a lot of seats were left vacant in the court hall. Do you want to repeat the same trick now?
All the officials looked at Chongzhen. This imperial edict belonged to Chongzhen, and the eunuch who passed it on belonged to Chongzhen. If Chongzhen admitted it and said it was a lie, they would not be able to turn the imperial edict into truth even if they told lies.
Originally, they did not expect that Chongzhen would deny the imperial edict, but they all felt that this imperial edict was signed by Chongzhen himself in front of hundreds of officials. No matter how shameless Chongzhen was, he always spoke well and would not lie to his face and deny it.
You should not treat the imperial edict as child's play.
Chongzhen did originally intend to keep the imperial edict vague. After all, this matter was a slap in his face, whether it was Chongzhen being pressured by hundreds of officials or Chang Xiao tearing up the imperial edict in public and killing the eunuch who passed it on. How can I put it?
It was Chongzhen who was caught in the middle and suffered the consequences.
However, Chang Xiao's words made Chongzhen enlightened. As long as he did not acknowledge the imperial edict, then all the things like being forced by officials and Chang Xiao tearing up the imperial edict would not be true, even if there are some miscellaneous notes in the unofficial history.
It’s just a confusing and unsolved case!
Moreover, Mr. Zhang was still forcing him yesterday and almost knocked him out. Today, Chang Xiao is going to send Mr. Zhang’s family to the guillotine. Speaking of which, this is also a good thing.
Chongzhen thought carefully and weighed it up. Now is not a time of peace. Internal and external troubles have made him miserable. It is best to rectify the court when the world is stable. Now is obviously not the best time, but Chongzhen
I was also afraid in my heart. If Chang Xiao didn't come back last night, it would not be Chongzhen who would make the final decision in the court this morning. Such a thing is really too dangerous. If we don't straighten it out, it won't be impressive. No.
If you set an example for all officials, it is really a kind of indulgence. In the future, the stories of today and yesterday may be repeated one after another in this court!
If the target is limited to the Zhang family, there seems to be nothing wrong. Moreover, there are frequent wars ahead. What Chongzhen lacks most now is money. The wealth of the Zhang family came with Taizu. Over the past two hundred years,
The accumulation is also a huge amount. If it is collected into the national treasury, Chongzhen will have a lot of money. Although the old Zhu family is named Zhu, they have done a lot of raising and killing pigs.
Chongzhen's expression changed from gloomy to bright, but it only happened in a moment. Chongzhen was also a very smart person. He approved a large number of memorials every day and dealt with officials who were like human beings. Naturally, his brain turned much faster than ordinary people.
He understood these things as soon as he thought about them.
Chongzhen immediately showed an angry expression and said: "Is this happening? How audacious. Who is that Marquis who did such a thing?"
Chongzhen said a word, and all the officials looked at him sideways. This emperor has become evil and shameless. The eunuchs and eunuchs that Chongzhen sent out in front of them all yesterday turned against each other and refused to admit their faults in one day. This
They were all taught by Chang Xiao!
Chang Xiao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the Marquis of the Zhang family!"
Chongzhen made a sound, showed a trace of hesitation, leaned forward and asked: "Chang Aiqing, do you have any evidence? Mr. Zhang has always been loyal and good, so he doesn't expect to do such a treasonous thing, right?"
Don’t let your lies lie!”
The Zhang family has many direct descendants in the court, and there are many descendants of the Zhang family in the court. Zhang Fengxian is also here at this time. He is Mr. Zhang’s father. Yesterday, Chang laughed and chopped his head in pieces at the gate of the Chang family.
My son, he gave his son's meat to hundreds of officials to eat, which has caused him to faint several times and vomit liters of blood. Today he came to the court with a black face, relying on his chest to hold on, if not for this breath
Hold on, Zhang Fengxian is probably already angry to death, and Mr. Zhang even carried it out in one breath yesterday, and is still being rescued. It is said that even future generations have begun to make preparations.
Zhang Fengxian originally came to complain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Chang Xiao took away the right to speak. He was feeling depressed, but when he heard that Chang Xiao had slapped him and poured dirty water on the heads of the Zhang family, he couldn't help but become furious.
He jumped up and shouted loudly: "Chang Xiao, you are spitting blood..."
Chang Xiao sneered and said loudly: "I have ironclad proof!"
The four big characters were so loud that Zhang Fengxian's subsequent words disappeared.
Chongzhen said oh again, his eyes flashed slightly. If Chang Xiao dared to say this, there must be irrefutable proof. Chang Xiao clearly wanted to frame the Zhang family. Chongzhen was like a mirror in his heart. Where did the iron proof come from in one night?
? Chongzhen was very curious, but also reassured. Chang Xiao had always done things well. Chongzhen sat back on the dragon chair and said: "Send it up!"
Zhang Fengxian's face had turned completely black. He was biting his steel teeth with bloodshot eyes, and the beard under his jaw was trembling desperately. Chang Xiao not only chopped his son alive, but also plunged the Zhang family into death. It was really...
He was so vicious. If he were not in the court now, he would definitely tear Chang Xiaosheng into pieces.
Zhang Fengxian doesn't think there is any ironclad evidence for Chang Xiao, because the Zhang family has always been cautious in everything they do, otherwise they would not be able to stand for hundreds of years. There may be some mistakes in other things, but they are not afraid of falsely spreading the imperial edict, because that
The imperial edict is true. Apart from persecuting Chongzhen, the Zhang family has never done anything else. There is no need to do it.
"Chang Xiao, if you can't come up with irrefutable evidence, our Zhang family will never give up on you."
Chang Xiao smiled casually and summoned a young eunuch to whisper a few words. The young eunuch glanced at Chongzhen. Chongzhen nodded slightly, and then the young eunuch went out.
At this time, all the officials had forgotten that they were going to impeach Chang Xiao and fight to the death. The originally planned steps were completely disrupted by Chang Xiao's bite. The most important thing was not that Chang Xiao's bite was
They had not expected that Chongzhen would become so shameless. They were a little confused for a moment and their minds were a little messed up. They could not find a better way to attack Chang Xiao for the time being. In addition, they were also curious about what irrefutable evidence Chang Xiao had.
Therefore, for a while, there was no other sound in the entire hall except Zhang Fengxian's huffing and puffing breathing.
Not long after, a squeaking sound came from outside the hall. The sound was like the sound of the wheels of a prison cart grinding against the ground. Sure enough, a wooden cart appeared in the hall. The cart was covered with a cloth, and a star was exposed on it.
A pale and bloodless head appeared. As soon as Zhang Fengxian saw this head, his body trembled and he almost cried, screaming: "My son, are you still alive?"
The head trembled slightly when he heard the call, and a pair of distracted eyes slowly opened. There was no spirituality in the eyes, and everything he looked at seemed dull.
Zhang Fengxian was very excited. He learned the bad news after leaving the court last night and led people to snatch his son's body. However, the servants of the Chang family were so impressive. In comparison, the servants of the Zhang family were just a bunch of drunkards. The alleys of Chang Mansion were full of people.
He was beaten alive before he could get in. Because of this, Zhang Fengxian's mother-in-law even hanged herself. If she hadn't been rescued in time, another life would have been lost.
Zhang Fengxian rushed forward, grabbed the curtain surrounding the prison car with trembling hands, and pulled hard, causing the curtain to fly. Then Zhang Fengxian, who was pale, took a few steps back and sat down on the ground!
