Chapter 423: The man behind the scenes has been found(1/2)

After hearing Zeng Erhe said this, Zhang Jing sat down patiently.

"What do you want to admit?"

Zeng Erhedao: "My name is Zeng Erhe. I was originally a military household in Tianjin Wei..."

Zhang Jing smiled: "No, you are not a military household in Tianjin Wei..."

Zeng Erhe was stunned.

Zhang Jingyi stood up: "Obviously, you still want to deceive me now. Do you think I haven't found out your details?"

Zeng Erhe trembled: "I... I am a military household in Datong Prefecture, and I used to be from Datong Prefecture."

"Why did it become Datong Mansion again?" Zhang Jingyi looked at him contemptuously.

"Before you come..., you have prepared a set of rhetoric, because you are afraid that you will learn your true identity and will harm your family."

Zhang Jingyi looked at him lightly without any expression: "Continue to talk."

"Just because... I killed someone, it was illegal..."

"Who did you kill?"

"I had an argument with people in Datong, and I was angry and killed people, so I escaped."

"What's next?"

"Then someone found me, kept me in a farm, and practiced bow and horse every day."

"Who asked you to come this time?"

“Yes…yes…”

Zhang Jing shouted loudly: "Say!"

Zeng Erhe had no choice but to say: "Liu Hongxun, Minister of Rites Liu Hongxun."

When Zhang Jingyi heard the three words Liu Hongxun, he immediately stood up, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

How could it be him?

Although he actually had some doubts, Liu Hongxun doesn't seem like a person who has the courage to do such things on weekdays.

Zhang Jing looked back and said, "Are you sure?"

"Confirm." Zeng Erhe said confidently: "Very sure."

So Zhang Jing frowned and said, "What did he say to you?"

"He...he said..." Zeng Erhe said: "He said it was very safe to ask me to do something. Go to Caihu Street to pick up someone at night. After receiving someone, I will arrange for me to go to Tianjin Wei..."

"I am a desperate person, and I can only obey their arrangements, so naturally I dare not refuse. Besides, he said that it was absolutely safe. If the prince was in their hands, you would never dare to do anything to me. Otherwise, my life would be like changing the prince's life. I thought to myself, if this is the case, I would not be afraid even if there were 100,000 troops in front of me."

"Just these?"

"No...no."

Zhang Jingyi was still shocked and said suspiciously: "Is it really Liu Hongxun, Minister of Rites?"

Zeng Erhedao: "Yes, it's him."

Zhang Jingyi's heart seemed to be unable to calm down for a long time. He stood up, walked a few more steps, and frowned deeply and said, "Is there anyone else besides Liu Hongxun?"

Zeng Erhe said with a sad face: "No more. Say life... I... I was deceived by them, I..."

Zhang Jing sneered and looked back at the clerk.

The clerk seemed to be shocked when he heard the three words Liu Hongxun.

You know... Liu Hongxun is a dignified Minister of Rites and a well-known figure in the world. He is the Qingliu in the Qingliu.

Such a person actually colluded with merchants and did these things.

Zhang Jing closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before she gently opened her eyes and said, "Go and call Deng Jian."

After a while, Deng Jian came.

Zhang Jingyi ordered: "Be prepared and go get people. I need to enter the palace immediately."

"Who will take this time?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "I need to go and ask for an order first."

Deng Jian nodded.

Zhang Jingyi immediately entered the palace and the emperor was in the West Garden, so Zhang Jingyi arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Tianqi was discussing matters with the cabinet ministers and ministers of various ministries at this time.

When he heard that Zhang Jingyi was coming, he did not hesitate to summon Zhang Jingyi in directly.

After entering the hall, Zhang Jingyi saw Liu Hongxun sitting on the side with a smile on his face.

Zhang Jing did not show any expression and saluted: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tianqi said with a gaze: "I mentioned you to all the ministers just now! I heard that you were applying for military academy, and there were 70,000 to 80,000 people. Ha... It's really scary, it's even more lively than the imperial examination. However, the ministers have different opinions, especially the Liu Qing family, who has some complaints about you, saying that it has caused many people to be out of childbirth."

"I don't have to do anything about birth?" Zhang Jing said: "This... I don't know why."

"It is said that many people have gone to recognize words and learn arithmetic."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "What's wrong with letting people recognize words and learn arithmetic?"

Emperor Tianqi did not speak, but looked at Liu Hongxun.

Liu Hongxun said in a big way: "The so-called gentleman works hard and villains work hard. Only when everyone performs their own duties can the world be peaceful. What's the use of just learning some words? Instead, it makes people feel uneasy and the people become restless."

Zhang Jingyi was not angry today, but looked at Liu Hongxun with a meaningful look and said, "Is that so? What Liu Butang said makes sense."

"Since there is a reason, it is better to know the mistakes and correct them." Liu Hongxun seemed very pleased and stroked his long beard.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty asked me to recruit talents and gather some outstanding people to Donglin Military Academy. After thinking about it, I can only choose to select talents by using the exam method, so... I don't plan to change."

"You..." Fortunately, Liu Hongxun is a elegant man. Otherwise, I would be afraid that a sentence would appear at this time: Whoever is surnamed Zhang, how dare you spend the time of the Sa family?

When Emperor Tianqi saw it, he started to quarrel again and said, "Okay, stop making noise, I will say justice."

Emperor Tianqi paused and said, "Zhang Qing is doing a good job. Isn't it always advocated by ministers on weekdays? Why is it that people are idle today? What's wrong with the people being able to read and arithmetic? Why are you restless? You guys are asking you to say good things and bad things, but they all seem to be reasonable and speak so quickly every day. Is this what the ministers should do?"

Emperor Tianqi glanced at the ministers and continued with lack of confidence: "Recruiting students, the money was not yours, but I took it out of the treasury. The military academy has nothing to do with you, it is me and Zhang Qing who are selecting talents. This has nothing to do with you, but what are you talking about here?"

"Didn't Liu Qing say that he should do his own duties? In this case, you should manage your Ministry of Rites well, that this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in other people's business. As the Minister of Rites, you should not be a bad example for the people of the world, so as not to get the time, people's hearts will be fluctuating and they will never be able to produce."

Emperor Tianqi would not give Liu Hongxun the chance to say anything, so he immediately looked at Zhang Jingyi: "Zhang Qing, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, I found the clue."

When he heard the clue, Emperor Tianqi was shocked. He stared at Zhang Jingyi, looking energetic: "These traitors and rioters are full of clues."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes suddenly widened a little, and he said, "Do you have any eyebrows?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "That's right!"

Emperor Tianqi stared straight at Zhang Jingyi and said anxiously: "Who is it?"

After the loss of the prince, Emperor Tianqi became even more angry with these traitors and rebels!

At this time, Zhang Jing said: "It's in this hall."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became silent.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Ministers of various departments in this hall, look at me, and look at you, and I can’t help but feel like a ray of light on my back.

Are there any unrest around me?

Is this Zhang Jingyi slander?

Or... take it seriously...

Emperor Aoki immediately became alert.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, immediately began to cough.

An eunuch immediately leaned in outside, and Wei Zhongxian gave the eunuch a wink.

After a moment, the eunuch had already led several guards to hold the sword outside, not daring to let out his anger, just waiting for a command.

Emperor Tianqi ruthlessly patrolled the ministers and finally said bluntly: "Okay, I said why the capital has been uneasy? It turns out that there are traitors around me!"

"I have been killed by these traitors over the years. I can't be guarded against it. Haha, today I can be considered as having a look of the emperor, but I have caught someone right. Zhang Qing, who is this person?"

Zhang Jing took a deep breath.

He could feel a solemn atmosphere in the hall.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Jingyi's eyes fell on Liu Hongxun.

When Liu Hongxun saw this look, he immediately said, "Marquis of Xinxian, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Liu Butang, do you still want to deny it now?"

"Denied?" Liu Hongxun's fear of fear was changed and said furiously: "What are you damning? What are you talking about? I...I am not a rioter, I am worthy of the world and the court! Yes, yes, I have more honest advice to you on weekdays, and you must have used this to revenge me. Good, Zhang Jingyi, you..."

Zhang Jingyi did not do it easily.
