Three memorials, each one more deadly than the last.
It was not until this moment that all the officials in the palace suddenly realized that today was not about killing traitors, but a crazy counterattack launched by traitors against civil servants. The first two memorials had already pulled down dozens of people, and their momentum was like a rainbow piercing the sun. , unstoppable, and the third memorial was even more murderous, directed at Cao Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
The DPRK could not hide the news. Even though there was no evidence for many things that happened, everyone knew who did it. For example, in the assassination of Qin Kan in the downtown area, everyone knew something about it.
Seeing that Cao Yuan collapsed like mud as soon as Qin Kan finished speaking, the ministers understood better.
Zhu Houzhao glanced coldly at Cao Yuan who was lying on the ground, then automatically ignored him and said: "My Zhengde Dynasty has a lot of new things. The courtiers hired murderers to assassinate their colleagues. It actually happened, and it was still in the imperial city. Right under my nose! Qin Kan, now that the thief has confessed, who is the mastermind behind it? "
Qin Kan glanced at Cao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, and the sinister smile on his lips made Cao Yuan feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his hands and feet became cold.
"You, what are you looking at me for? It's not me! You are clearly setting me up! You are killing Zhongliang!"
Under the huge psychological pressure, Cao Yuan finally lost control. The veins on his neck popped out, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
The eyes of the officials in the palace became strange, and all their eyes were on Cao Yuan's face like spotlights.
Qin Kan rubbed his nose, a playful smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Master Cao, Your Majesty and all the colleagues in the court are here. Which of your ears heard my name just now?"
"After Qin Kan finished speaking, the nobles in the hall suddenly burst into disgraceful laughter, while the civil servants in the hall had ugly expressions.
Cao Yuan was dumbfounded. He sat slumped on the cold tile floor, with more and more sweat on his forehead.
He found that he had done a stupid thing, a very fatal stupid thing. The stupidity of this thing was roughly the same as that of the man in the fable who said "there are no three hundred taels of silver here". The normally shrewd and cunning Cao Cao Yuan, today he was really frightened by Qin Kan's memorials one after another. He didn't know how many back-up men Qin Kan had ambushed and waited for him, so he unconsciously messed up his position.
"II" Cao Yuan's plump face became paler and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. After stammering for a long time, he finally forced out a righteous expression and said: "I am afraid that you will falsely accuse loyal ministers, so I remind you in advance. For a moment, I have nothing to do with the assassination in the downtown area, so please don¡¯t accuse me unjustly."
This explanation was so weak that even the civil servants scorned it. It was too far-fetched.
Qin Kan smiled and said: "No wonder Mr. Cao has endured the wind and rain for a long time, but he remains strong. His cautiousness is admirable"
No matter how pale the explanation was, after saying a few words, Cao Yuan's face regained some color, his mood became much more stable, and his fat body stood up unsteadily.
Since Qin Kan didn't identify him in front of the palace, it seems that the so-called capture of the assassin was probably just a trick of the Qin man, pretending to be a ghost. It's a shame that he couldn't calm down, but he didn't bring it upon himself Thinking of this, Cao Yuan felt Much more relaxed.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair and groaned dissatisfied: "Have you chatted enough? Now tell me, how did those two assassins confess? I want to know who is so bold and dares to buy a murderer to stab me in the thigh. .¡±
Qin Kan put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the person recruited by the assassin is none other than Cao Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War."
Boom!
As if a drop of water fell into a boiling oil pan, the palace suddenly exploded.
Cao Yuan was originally in a slightly relaxed mood, but was sent to the eighteenth level of hell by Qin Kan's words. His oily fat body shook hard for a few times, and he collapsed to the ground again with a plop.
"You, youQin Kan, are you fooling me?" Cao Yuan pointed at him angrily.
Qin Kan opened his eyes innocently: "No, that's what the two assassins said in their confessions"
"But just now, didn't you say you didn't have me?" Cao Yuan was so frightened that his brain was short-circuited.
Qin Kan sighed: "Master Cao, you have to understand that I just didn't have time to mention you, and I didn't say it wasn't you."
"Yes, but you clearly just now"
Qin Kan showed a sympathetic expression: "I just wanted you to enjoy as much pleasure as possible in the remaining life. I am so kind-hearted. Although I cannot be called a seven-level pagoda, I should at least be regarded as a kind and virtuous person. Loaded"
After saying these innocent words, everyone, including Zhu Houzhao who was sitting on the dragon throne, let out a loud sigh in their hearts.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s really rare to see someone with such a virtuous character, yet they have the nerve to say that they are ¡°virtuous and generous¡±
??Many people in the hall suddenly became very curious about Qin Kan's birthplace, Qinzhuang, Shanyin, Shaoxing. They wanted to investigate on the spot to see if the ancestors of the old Qin family chose the wrong Feng Shui when they were buried. Otherwise, what happened? To give birth to such a wicked creature
"Haha, haha! Okay! Cao Aiqing is indeed the mainstay of the country. He dares to buy assassins to assassinate the lord of the dynasty. His courage is getting more and more limitless" Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, he was full of murderous intent. After laughing twice, Zhu Houzhao quickly darkened his face and said angrily: "The warrior in front of the palace, strip off Cao Yuan's official robe, take off his official hat, throw him into the imperial prison, and interrogate him strictly before the factory guards! "
The pale-faced Cao Yuan screamed at the top of his lungs that he was wronged, but was rudely dragged out by the warriors outside the palace.
Zhu Houzhao stood up, glanced at the ministers slowly with a livid face, and said with a sneer: "I always thought that although the ministers in the court had many restrictions on me, they were also loyal and upright gentlemen. I didn't expect that my court was full of evil spirits and monsters, with all kinds of appearances. No, I am a person in front of you, but you are a ghost behind my back. The so-called gentleman and the so-called loyal minister, how can I trust my own eyes again?"
When the ministers heard this, they were extremely angry, but Qin Kan's three memorials did drag down many people today. These people were usually sanctimonious and loyal ministers, and they really caused a lot of trouble for Zhu Houzhao. Everyone wanted to argue. There was no reason, so he could only blush and bow his head in silence.
Zhu Houzhao gently patted the memorial presented by Qin Kan, with an evil look in his eyes: "Accepting bribes from King Ning, colluding with officials and merchants to trade with vassal states, and buying murderers to assassinate the prince of the dynasty. These three cases will be pursued and investigated thoroughly by the factory guards. I don't care. These three cases are so involved, so many so-called loyal ministers are involved in them, and every one of them will take one! If the court does not put things in order, where will the world be?"
The ministers' hearts skipped a beat, and they suddenly felt frightened. However, Qin Kan quickly bowed and said, "I accept the order."
A conspiracy against Qin Kan was resolved by Qin Kan alone in the golden palace of the court. Not only that, the civil servants were defeated and fell into a quagmire.
The ministers were frightened, and even those who had nothing to do with these three cases remained silent at this moment. But all I could see was that Qin Kan's sleeves were still bulging, and he didn't know how much black material this evil beast like a Doraemon had hidden and ready to go. How could anyone dare to say anything anymore?
In this turbid court, there are not many people who truly have a clear conscience.
Of course, it¡¯s not completely impossible. At least Liang Chu, a bachelor, is one of them. Lao Liang has been a clean person and an official in his life. He has never been in any trouble in his life, and he has been issued countless good guy cards.
There was silence in the palace, and no one spoke for a long time. Just when Zhu Houzhao was so bored that he wanted to announce his resignation, Liang Chu stepped out of the palace and loudly said: "Qin Kan, I have been innocent all my life, I have nothing to fear!"
Qin Kan was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of helplessness: "Scholar Liang is saying this right now. Do you expect me to build a merit arch in front of your house?"
Liang Chu said angrily: "I want to tell you that I am upright and fearless, so I am qualified to ask you questions."
Qin Kan frowned and quickly searched in his mind about the investigation of Liang Chu by the Jin Yiwei spies. After much deliberation, he found that except that Liang Chu was in love with the fourth concubine in the house, and he was particularly fond of women. There is no other reason to use, and liking women on top is not strictly a treasonous thing. This is actually a very common phenomenon. For example, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Sheng, Yang Yiqing, etc. all have a strong liking for women on top ¡
His body suddenly trembled slightly. Qin Kan found that his thoughts seemed to have wandered far away, and he hurriedly stopped at the cliff. In his heart, he despised the shameless peeping behavior of his Jin Yiwei spies.
So Qin Kan snorted angrily and had to put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master Liang, even if you ask me, I will tell you everything."
Liang Chu hummed heavily: "There are many courtiers in the capital, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed. Just because you pull them down does not mean that you are clean. Let me ask you, what are your intentions of building ships and recruiting naval forces privately?"
After Liang Chu finished speaking, the ministers who were frightened one after another finally came to their senses.
Yes, so many people were brought down by this man named Qin out of nowhere today, but his crime is not small, and it is well known that Tianjin Donggang builds sea-going ships privately, so he can't deny it, right?
The palace gradually became noisy, and the ministers seemed to have drunk a pulse of vitality injected into their bodies, and they all became energetic and started to criticize.
Listening to countless scolding voices, Qin Kan remained calm, coughed twice calmly, and then said with a smile: "Colleagues, privately building ships is indeed a thing. Qin does not deny it, but Qin is the commander of the Jinyi Guards and a personal soldier of the Emperor. He obeys His Majesty's orders in everything. He builds sea ships privately Naturally, he obeys His Majesty's orders."
Hiss¡ª¡ª
Inside the palaceThere was a sound of gasps from the audience, and the noisy hall fell silent again. Everyone turned their attention in stunned silence, staring at Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the dragon chair with his legs crossed and leisurely as if watching a play.
As soon as Qin Kan finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao could no longer relax. Hearing this, he almost fell off the dragon chair. He opened his eyes as round as copper bells and looked at Qin Kan in the center of the hall with an innocent expression. And at a loss.
Qin Kan blinked at him: "Your Majesty, am I right?"
"Ah? Ahah!" After three modal particles, Zhu Houzhao finally understood the fact that Qin Kan was so unloyal that he took the blame.
"Yes! That's right, building sea ships and recruiting watermen is actually my order. Yes, it's my intention! I didn't admit it before, but Qin Kan accepted it on my behalf Yes, that's what it is!" Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily! .
Liang Chu stood dumbly for a long time, and finally he was agitated and said angrily: "Your Majesty, how could you"
"Stop! Stop talking, I know I was wrong" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, his dark and vivid eyes rolled, and he didn't know what good memories were evoked. He looked solemn and said with a heavy face: "I violated the ancestral rules. I am really ashamed of my ancestors and the country, so I have decided Well, I have decided to blame myself in the Ancestral Temple. Let's go together and leave!" (To be continued.
