The reason is very clear and straightforward. It is only now that everyone understands why Liu Chengfeng went to such unnecessary lengths just now. They have clearly dug a hole and are just waiting for you to jump.
The reason why he interrogated Jiang Tao was not because Jiang Tao had anything to do with Prince Ning, nor did he want to use Jiang Tao to bring trouble against Xiao Jing. He had only one reason. Since Jiang Tao could fake it, why couldn't Liu Chenggang do it now?
?
If it was someone else who committed the crime this time, perhaps this witness would be enough to convict Zhu Lin. However, Zhu Lin was the eldest son of Duke Chengguo and the successor of Zhu Neng, the general during the Jingnan period. Zhu Neng was in the battle of Jingnan.
He can be regarded as the first to contribute. After that, he followed Emperor Wen to conquer the Tatars in the north and conquered Annan in the south.
, martial arts is outstanding. For generations, the Zhu family has been famous for its loyalty and has won the trust of the palace. Every emperor entrusts the Zhu family with military and state affairs because of his heart.
Who would be convinced if someone is convicted based on too reliable witnesses?
Jiang Tao could be lying, but Liu Chenggang was naturally unreliable. Therefore, Liu Chengfeng said eloquently: "I don't think it's okay to give up such a confession. Zhu Lin is the heir apparent of Duke Cheng, and his status is sensitive, so he cannot be easily convicted."
Liu Chengfeng was really ruthless in his dismantling. With just one trick, he overturned Xiao Jing's so-called witness.
Xiao Jing touched his smooth chin angrily, glared at Liu Chengfeng, and said, "What are you talking about? Precisely because he is the eldest son of Duke Cheng, once he causes trouble, the harm to the court will be greater.
There is no room for any sloppiness, Liu Chengfeng, are you trying to help the tiger and defend the rebels?"
Liu Chengfeng responded with a smile: "Zhu Lin is a loyal queen. Whether he is a traitor or not is not up to you, nor is it mine. It all depends on His Majesty's decision after today's imperial judgment. You are a traitor on the left and a traitor on the right.
, confuse right and wrong, slander Cheng Guogong, what does this mean?"
Xiao Jing knew that he had made a mistake. What he said just now was too harsh. The emperor had not finalized the decision yet. He said this rashly. After Liu Chengfeng's counterattack, he calmed down and argued with Liu Chengfeng about this in the court hall.
It's futile, this case
The son could not be settled by quarreling. So he cautiously kept his mouth shut and said to Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, rebellion is a serious crime and must not be taken carelessly. This Liu Chenggang is indeed the long history of King Ning. I have verified it in many ways.
There won’t be any accidents…”
Liu Chengfeng interjected without hesitation: "Wei Chen has also verified in many ways that Jiang Tao must be from Prince Ning. So what's the result?"
Sometimes Liu Chengfeng's words are enough to make people angry to death. Xiao Jing's old face twitched and was abruptly interrupted by Liu Chengfeng's words.
Zhu Youtang coughed and put his hand on the court case. He hesitated at this time. After a long time, he said: "Ignore Liu Chenggang's testimony for the time being. Let's continue with the trial."
The meaning of this sentence is as deep as the essence of the mud. The so-called no need for the time being is actually to put aside the dispute. It is not good to say it is good. It is not good to say it is not. Xiao Jing's face suddenly became a little unsightly. It seems that relying on witnesses alone is enough.
It is impossible to convict Zhu Lin of the crime.
However, Liu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow at Xiao Jing, which was full of provocation.
This means:
Aren’t you trying to steal the credit? Aren’t you trying to trick me? Give it a try, and we will see the difference between you and me in this palace today.
Xiao Jing didn't dare to be careless anymore. He was indeed a little proud at first, because he thought he had a chance to win. Who knew that Liu Chengfeng would not confront him head-on at all, but went straight to such a crooked way, and actually made his ace
It was useless. He gritted his teeth, gave Liu Chengfeng a dark look in return, and then said: "My slave, there is still physical evidence."
It was this physical evidence that Zhu Youtang was waiting for. He became energetic and even his green and yellow face couldn't help but become a little glossy. He said, "Bring it to me and see."
After listening to the emperor's words, a young eunuch of His Highness quickly carried a copper plate. There were several pages of documents on the copper plate, and there were actually many letters layered on the plate. The little eunuch bowed and walked slowly up to the palace, and placed the copper plate on Zhu.
On Youtang's Imperial Case.
Zhu Youtang first picked up the document and looked at it a few times. Every time he looked at it, he raised his eyes and wandered around the hall. Those who saw it were confused, and some felt uncomfortable and uneasy.
Zhu Youtang's face was indifferent, and he seemed to be a little depressed. Then he picked up some letters and read them. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word. No one could see his face clearly through the bead chain in front of the crown.
, but there was a very depressing atmosphere in the palace. Some people smelled this unpleasant feeling and began to be careful even when breathing.
After reading all the letters, Zhu Youtang picked up a letter and handed it to one of the eunuchs, saying: "Read it."
The eunuch nodded, then took the letter and began to read: "Fu Cheng came to teach, and he was diligent and conscientious. In his declining years, I mourned that his learning was not passed down. His intention was very great. However, he wanted to make it effective.
Mr. Ersan, when you recruit disciples, establish a reputation, and show your light to the world, you have selfish motives and unwillingness. If it is the teaching of the Western Han Dynasty, there are often more than a thousand disciples, and the rich ones are as high as high officials, and the lower ones are also doctors...
"
The whole hall held their breath to listen. Only after listening to it did they realize that this was a letter. It should be a letter from Prince Ning to Zhu Lin. It seemed that this letter was very ordinary and did not involve anything.
The conspiracy is more like a pure discussion of academic studies, and Prince Ning warned Zhu Lin not to be complacent just because of some achievements. There is no limit to learning, and it takes a lot of effort to understand some of the great ways.
But here comes the problem. If the relationship between ordinary people is not close to a certain level, it is absolutely impossible to tell someone how to study and how to study. Usually only close teachers have this qualification. If you find a stranger to tell him
No matter what, people insist on treating you as a lunatic.
And judging from the names in the letter, the relationship between the two people is obviously very close, enough for Prince Ning to claim to be Zhu Lin's mentor and a good teacher and friend. Only in this way can this letter be established.
So there is nothing wrong with this letter on the surface, but if you chew it carefully, you will find that the relationship between Zhu Lin and Zhu Jinjun is extremely deep, and they have reached the point where they are like father and son.
In the bottom corner of the letter, Zhu Jinjun also said that his nephew wrote and wanted to buy some shares of Shentong Commercial Bank, but he did not have cash in hand. Now he sent a letter with a letter of 100,000 yuan to fund his nephew's expenses.
Ordinary people, who would be willing to give you a hundred thousand taels of silver at once? These are two people who clearly have a sworn relationship. One of them speaks like a teacher, teaching his favorite disciple, and at the same time he generously gives a sum of money to this person.
People spend.
The content is already very clear. If anyone still believes what Zhu Lin said and said that he and Prince Ning have never met each other, I am afraid no one will believe it.
This is not just an acquaintance, it is simply a hookup.
Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but said loudly: "This... this letter..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Jing's face became stern. Even though he always looked like a Maitreya Buddha in front of others, he always showed his terrifying side. He gritted his teeth and said harshly.
: "The prince still wants to deny it now. If there is no real evidence, wouldn't the Za family be afraid of you Chengguo Gongfu? You think the Za family is just relying on some groundless evidence.
Is Feng Lai deliberately looking for you to cause trouble? As of now, you can't do it even if you deny it in every possible way. The Zajia family once asked someone to check the handwriting of King Ning in the letter. It is undoubtedly written by King Ning. Moreover, the letter also said that you have intention
Purchase shares of Shentong Commercial Bank. A month ago, you did purchase these shares with 100,000 taels of silver and became the major shareholder of Shentong Commercial Bank. What else do you have to say."
"I...I..." No matter how calm Zhu Lin was, he could not deny it in the face of these hard facts. He was dripping with cold sweat, and his back was almost soaked with cold sweat. Even speaking became a little difficult.
.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing proudly saluted Zhu Youtang and said loudly: "The case has been made public. In addition to these letters, there is also a list of names, all of which have a close relationship with Prince Ning. Just now, the crown prince Zhu Lin said that he did not know him.
Prince Ning, your Majesty has now found out. The right and wrong are all before your Majesty. Please make a clear decision."
Zhu Lin collapsed to the ground with a pale face. At this time, let alone Liu Chengfeng, even Daluo Jinxian could not save him. The Crown Prince Cheng Guo was involved in colluding with the vassal king to rebel, not to mention that he would die without a burial.
Most of the entire family will be implicated.
It's over...it's completely over...
After Zhu Youtang saw the rosters, he was already extremely angry. Now Xiao Jing added fuel to the fire. After hesitating gloomily for a moment, he said: "The right and wrong have indeed been distinguished. First, Ning Wang and Chang Shi identified it, and now
There are also letters and rosters as evidence,
Zhu Lin, what else can you say? You are also a relative of the emperor, and I have never treated you badly. Even the word Zhu Lin was given to you by me. Your holy family is not unworthy, but now you are
If you do such an unfaithful thing, I can't protect you."
It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to be angry, and since the evidence was irrefutable, no one had the courage to stand up and defend Zhu Lin. Many people were sighing in their hearts. No one had thought that a century-old family like Duke Cheng would be lost in such a situation today.
On the ignorant children.
Zhu Lin could no longer say a word. He wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he could not utter a single word.
"Yes, yes, there is Liu Chengfeng. Isn't Liu Chengfeng the Prince Consort? Isn't he the commander of the Royal Guards? Maybe... maybe he can put in a good word for himself." Zhu Lin was really a life-saver this time.
I dared to grasp at straws and looked at Liu Chengfeng eagerly, only to see that Liu Chengfeng had already stood up from the class again.
Even if you don't yell at this guy, he still has to stand up and speak.
