Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 729 Full of loopholes
Emperor Yun Jing's words were straightforward without any concealment, Zhu Sheng's back was covered with cold sweat almost instantly when he heard this.

His Majesty, he really knew.

Or... His Majesty really knows everything.

Zhu Sheng's heart trembled, and he subconsciously clenched his hand to hold the wat board. His eyelids were half drooped, carefully avoiding the emperor's sight, and then he took a sneaky glance at Liao Zhen from the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, the latter nodded inconspicuously at him, Zhu Sheng understood, and immediately pretended to be "wronged and humiliated", and shouted at the emperor for injustice.

"This, this is really wronged, Your Majesty!" Holding the wat board in his hand, Zhu Sheng cried out his true feelings, "Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged!"

"Oh? I'm wronged." Emperor Yun Jing raised his eyebrows in response, "So, what I've heard is all false?"

"Back when the Jingyang uncle's mansion was in trouble, Zhu Qing really never intervened at all. He never threatened Jiang Zhe, never bribed Liu Wen, and never instigated Sun Ying or Hu Yun?"

"But it's completely different from what Liu Wen and Sun Ying confessed." Mo Jingyao rolled his pupils, and his eyes sank quietly, "How should I say it, Zhu Qing."

"Do you need me to find Hu Yun and the others to confront you in court?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, you misunderstood. What the old minister said was not to deny the mistakes he made when he was confused—" Zhu Sheng bowed deeply while holding the wat board, and moved out of Liao Zhen in a hurry. The series of routines taught him before the early court.

"The meaning of the old minister is that many of the actions that the old minister did back then were all due to being deceived by the villain, and they did not come from the old minister's heart... I hope your Majesty will learn from you."

"Deceived?" Emperor Yun Jing sneered, "Then Zhu Qing, tell me, which villain did you get deceived by, and how did he deceive you?"

"Yes...it's like this, Your Majesty." The bowed Zhu Sheng's voice trembled slightly, and the fingertips holding the wat board also trembled faintly, "When Jingyang Bozhan Shirong was still alive, Zuoqin Capital Censor Sun Ying has not dealt with him much."

"That day, Sun Ying came to look for the old minister, saying that he had a lot of criminal evidence about Uncle Jingyang's "deceived the emperor and intended to rebel", and said that he himself was a soft-spoken person in the court, and he could not compare with the status of Uncle Jingyang's mansion. Don’t dare to show His Majesty lightly and impeach the Duke’s House.”

"So I rushed to look for the old minister to see if I could present this memorial to Your Majesty through the old minister's channel."

"The old minister knows that the relationship between Sun Ying and Uncle Jingyang has never been good. Therefore, the old minister was worried that he was deliberately framed by the imperial court. When he first heard about it, he didn't dare to agree."

"But I couldn't bear it. His words were too sincere, and he swore his personality with the old minister... The old minister really couldn't resist him, so he had to agree to read the criminal evidence in his hand first, and then make another plan."

"Unexpectedly, the veteran saw the so-called 'criminal evidence', and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became," Zhu Sheng said, and he couldn't help but sighed, "In addition, with Sun Ying by his side, he kept bewitching the veteran with words... ..."

"The old minister believed this to be true, and was filled with righteous indignation for a moment. Impulsively, he declared that Uncle Jingyang was impeached by Sun Ying despite going up to the court-the rest of the old ministers covered him."

"Later, the veteran saw that the case had been investigated for a long time but there was no progress, and Sun Ying kept slandering the veteran's ears non-stop."

"The old minister was coaxed into a daze by him, anxious that the evildoer would not plead guilty for a long time, and in his confusion, Liu Wen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment who was in charge of this matter, was born, and together with the Minister of Dali Temple, he oppressed Jiang Zhe to settle the case as soon as possible. thoughts."

"So, Your Majesty, the old minister has indeed done something wrong this time, but these wrong things done by the old minister are definitely not from the original intention of the old minister, Your Majesty!" Zhu Sheng bowed to the end, and when he got up, he burst into tears. .

"The old minister was only patriotic, and fell into the trick of the villain when he didn't notice for a while--I hope His Majesty will find out!"

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform looked at his crying face coldly, and felt that what he said was full of loopholes, and this person's face was really thick to a certain level.

Look at his sincere look, maybe he even tricked himself into it, and really regarded himself as a utterly loyal and peerless loyal minister!
— This is really ridiculous.

"In this way, Zhu Qing believes that you are not to blame for all the crimes, but to blame Sun Ying who not only planted the frame to frame Uncle Jingyang, but also maliciously deceived you?" Mo Jingyao pulled the corners of his lips, and his voice was Unspeakable sarcasm, "Zhu Qing, is that so?"

"Naturally, the old minister should have been punished for believing the traitor's nonsense." Zhu Sheng narrowed his eyes, not admitting it, but also not denying it.

"Heh." The emperor snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"But Zhu Qing, what I have heard these days is more than just this one thing." Emperor Yun Jing casually raised his hand and straightened his sleeves, his eyes deepened, "I also heard that three years There is also your shadow behind the major scientific examination fraud case—”

"Furthermore, the informant also took out many handwritten letters left by Chao Ling. I have compared the handwriting in detail and checked the time. I have confirmed that those letters are indeed written by Chao Ling."

"Not only that, judging from the time recorded in the letter... Zhu Qing, you seem to have used the scientific examination to take bribes and cheat, and make friends with secret parties more than ten years ago. What do you say about this?" ?”

"This... This is pure slander!" Zhu Sheng bit the bullet and argued forcefully, "Your Majesty also knows what happened back then. There were indeed people who took bribes and gave bribes in the old minister's mansion."

"It's just that the man is in charge of the old minister's mansion. The old minister didn't know about it at all, and that stubborn slave had pleaded guilty three years ago - Your Majesty was the one who interrogated this case personally!"

"As for those handwritten letters...Your Majesty, how convenient is handwritten forgery? Right now, there is an example of His Royal Highness framing the King of Nan'an. Don't be fooled by such inferior tricks of villains again."

"Of course, the veteran said this, not to shirk, but I don't know the person who reported the veteran..." Zhu Sheng paused his tone, "There are other evidences in hand."

He felt that the fire didn't burn hard enough, and thought that the courtiers who reported him would most likely not be able to provide any evidence, so he raised his head boldly and swore an oath with confidence.

"If any of the ministers present can provide evidence, the old minister is willing to plead guilty immediately without delay—"

"Oh? Really?" Emperor Yun Jing grinned suddenly upon hearing the sound, "As long as someone can show evidence, you will never delay."

"Then Zhu Qing, that's what you said." Mo Jingyao smiled lowly, and then slowly turned his eyes to glance at the ink book brocade that was rarely carried to the court. The meaning of his smile was unclear, "Jin'er, I remember my uncle The affairs of the government and this matter are handed over to you to investigate and deal with."

"How, have you found any strong evidence there?"

　I'm so sleepy, I installed the air conditioner upstairs when I was going to sleep yesterday, okay, I didn't fall asleep until eleven o'clock at noon
