Chapter 25 A sword pierces the heart

The atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense. Prophecies themselves are not a terrible thing. They can also be encountered in sacrifices and banquets, but prophecies in the court are given a deeper meaning, which is often associated with usurping the throne, so it is extremely

Taboo, generally not talk about it publicly.

However, since the emperor wants to talk about prophecies at the court meeting, it means that he does not believe in the prophecies, and does not pay attention to the content of the prophecies, but wants to talk about prophecies in the court.

Only Yang Guang's stern voice replied in the hall, "The reason I asked the court to discuss this matter today is because this is the first prophecy I have encountered since ascending the throne. I want to express an attitude, otherwise, similar

Prophecies will appear one after another, which is a disturbance to the court, and I will never allow it!"

There was silence in the hall, and many people's eyes were quietly turned to Yuanshou. Yuanshou, who was the inner historian, was one of the seven majors. He sat in the three seats in the left head. Coincidentally, Pei Ju was next to him.

Yuanshou looked at the ground with a deep face. He had no such issue in the letter I received yesterday. Now the sudden increase in this issue caught him off guard.

Although the prophecy was not what he did, what happened at noon yesterday made him the biggest suspicion. He was still a little uneasy. He slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Jin opposite him. Zhang Jin nodded slightly and expressed his support.

He, Yuanshou, let go of his heart.

Yang Yuanqing, the other protagonist of the Prophecy, stood behind the right head. He attended the court meeting as the general of the yumendao march. He was a foreign official. Although he also had the identity of a general of Zuo Xiaowei, in fact he did not ask about Zuo Xiaowei.

The specific matter of the matter is just a title, which was extremely common in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although Yang Guang publicly stated that the prophecies in the court were just to show his attitude, Yang Yuanqing still had an intuition that Yang Guang was actually drunk, but he used the prophecy to build a platform for Guanlong nobles and Shandong.

The gentry continued to fight, or in other words, to make their hatred deeper.

At this time, Yang Guang's voice came from the hall, "Cui Aiqing, you are Jingzhao Yin, the prophecy is your responsibility, and it will start with you!"

Cui Bosu wrote a detailed memorial to Yang Guang yesterday. He remembered everything that happened. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and walked out of the court.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers, this prophecy began to be circulated about five days ago. The content is very simple, 'Jing Xiangyang, Yuan Risheng, went to the Western Regions and wanted to be king!' Just these twelve words, the object he refers to is the one he refers to

It is obvious that it is General Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Yumen Road. According to our investigation, this prophecy was transmitted from two lines, one is a beggar and the other is a child. We initially investigated the line of children, but because it involves too wide

, No disseminator was found, but after General Yang came back the day before yesterday, he also started to investigate the matter. He checked from the line of beggars, and finally he found a disseminator, whose name was Wang Ji, who was in Fengdu City.

The little beggar leader, according to his generation, was a man with a goatee and taught him that he was about thirty years old."

When Cui Bosu said this, everyone in the hall looked at the left guard general Yuan Shangwu, the man in the palace. The surname was Yuan, with a goatee, about thirty years old, and all his characteristics pointed at him.

At this time, Yuanshou couldn't hold back his anger. He knew that sooner or later he would fall on his head. He stood up and bowed to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, can you let me say a few words!"

Yang Guang glanced at him and asked Cui Bosu first, "Cui Aiqing, will this matter involve the Inner Historian of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Cui Bosu nodded, "It will involve the Yuan Dynasty, but can I let the minister finish his words?"

"Yes, Cui Aiqing, please continue."

Yang Guang smiled at Yuanshou again and said, "Shi Shi Yuan, please be calm and do not be impatient. I will give everyone a fair chance."

Yuanshou had to bear the anxiety and retreated to the court. Yang Guang looked at him deeply and said to Cui Bosu: "Please continue to say something like Cui Aiqing."

Cui Bosu continued: "General Yang found this prophecy spreader. He was more cautious and wanted to verify it. At noon yesterday, the commander of Qianniuwei Yuanmin led a group of subordinates to drink in the Hongyun diner next to the big men in Fengdu City. Yang Yuanqing

So he took the witness to find him first, and it turned out that it had nothing to do with Yuanmin, but the accident happened at this time. Yuanmin's subordinates killed the celebrity's witness, and a conflict broke out in the winery. Finally, the officials led the yamen runners to bring everyone back

Jingzhao Prefecture Men!"

When Cui Bosu said this, a snarling sound suddenly sounded in the hall. In fact, almost everyone knew about the wine shop that happened at noon yesterday, and it was far more detailed than what Cui Bosu said. Of course, Cui Bosu could not do it.

The processed contents were said above in the court, and every word he said was very cautious.

At this time, Yuanshou's face was already so angry that Cui Bosu said that it seemed fair, but in fact every sentence pointed to their Yuan family. He only said that his son killed someone. Yang Yuanqing interrupted his son Tui. Why didn't he?

Said it?

Yuanshou was about to leave the list, but Zhang Jin came out first. Zhang Jin was a bystander, and his mind was clearer than Yuanshou. He had already seen Yang Guang's intention. This was not a matter of pursuing the truth of the prophecy, it was obvious.

Put down the arena and let the Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry have the first contest. Cui Bosu is not Jingzhao Yin, he is the Cui family in Qinghe.

They were forced to not participate. If the Guanlong nobles did not face the battle, then Yuanshou would inevitably be punished for the crime of weaving prophecies. You must know that Yuanshou was the only representative of the Guanlong nobles in the cabinet.

Zhang Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter has nothing to do with me, the fortune winery is my family business, and I cannot stay out of it."

At this time, Pei Yun sneered, "Everyone knows that Hongyun Restaurant is a Yuan family property, and when will it become General Zhang's family property?"

Zhang Jin glanced at him and said lightly: "Is it okay for the Yuan family to give me the wine shop? Moreover, Censor Pei spoke without the consent of the emperor. This is despising the emperor!"

Pei Yun cried out inwardly, and he had to bow to Yang Guang and said, "I speak as I wish, please forgive me!"

Yang Guang waved his hand with a smile, "Today, it might be considered a debate in the court meeting. It is not necessary for the parties involved to participate, nor do you need to ask me in advance. I am also listening."

"Okay, let me talk first!"

Zhang Jin took the lead and said to Cui Bosu: "Cui Jun, I only have a few small questions. Can you answer?"

Cui Bosu saluted, "General Zhang, please tell me!"

"Actually, it's very simple. The first question is, what evidence does Cui Jun have to say that the beggar was the propaganda spreader? The second question is, why did Yuanmin kill the beggar?"

"Report to General Zhang, the beggar had a testimony. He admitted that he was the spreader of the prophecy and pressed his handprint to testify that I had submitted to the Lord yesterday."

At this time, an eunuch would hold a red lacquered wooden plate. The plate contained the memorial and all the evidence mentioned by Cui Bosu yesterday. Cui Bosu found a confession from the plate and Yang Yang said to the officials in the hall:

"Dear ministers, this is the testimony of the beggar who spreads prophecy. It has his handprint on it. The coroner of Jingzhao Prefecture has also confirmed that it is the handprint of this person. As for the evidence, we found ten hangs of money in his residence, but the prophecy is like this

It is impossible to have any evidence, but if Yuanmin does not kill him, he can stand in front of all the ministers to answer any questions. I believe everyone will understand whether it is true or not, but why Yuanmin wants to kill him

?”

The Xuanzheng Hall was silent, and I could only hear Cui Bosu talking, as if this was his Jingzhao Government Hall Men's Lobby, questioning the case, but this was the Xuanzheng Hall discussing military and national affairs. It really seemed a bit funny to discuss such prophecies and trivial matters.

.

But no one was funny. The Emperor of Sui had a cold smile on his face. The confrontation between the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong gentry, everything showed that this was not a small case that could be underestimated. Once the facts were determined, it was very likely to lead to a

The removal of the prime minister's position led to changes in the power structure of the court.

At this time, Yu Wen Kai, the Minister of Works, walked out of the court and said, "I will say a few words. Although Cui Jun has various testimony and confession, everything seems to be true, but there is a biggest problem here, the person involved dies.

Then I can use other reasons to explain what happened here. First of all, we General Yuan with a goatee."

Yuwen Kai smiled at Yuan Shangwu and said, "General Yuan, do you have any relationship with the beggar?"

The court burst into laughter, and Yuan Shangwu blushed and said, "There is absolutely nothing to do!"

Yuwen Kai also smiled and said, "It can be seen that everyone understands that there are many goatee-bearded people, not necessarily General Yuan. And as General Yuan, would he do such things personally? He also told the beggar his surname,

Is this reasonable? This is a missed dong!"

Pei Yun also walked out and said, "Shangshu Yuwen, there are many things, not what you imagine here. I will only ask you one thing. If it were not for General Yuan's actions, why did Yuan Min kill someone to silence him? What was he afraid of?

Why don’t the government come to interrogate and prove the innocence of the Yuan family and kill the witness? Isn’t this a bit guilty?”

The argument between the two sides gradually gathered to the most critical place. Why did Yuanmin kill the beggar? Yuanshou said angrily: "Is it necessary for my son to kill a beggar to silence him? He has a temper. A beggar came to disturb him while eating.

I feel unhappy and want to kill him, is it a reason? He has a hatred for Yang Yuanqing and can't afford to offend Yang Yuanqing. Is it okay to kill a beggar to vent his anger?"

Pei Yun sneered, "I remember correctly, Yuan Min is twenty-seven years old this year, a 27-year-old Qianniu Guard commander, who knows the importance of that beggar, and knows that he is not good for the Yuan family.

The witness was that Yuan Min was unhappy and wanted to vent his anger, so he killed him and put the innocent Yuan family to death. Yuan Prime Minister, do you think it is possible?"

Pei Yun is worthy of being the chief officer of the Censorate. He knew that other links were missing and could not stand scrutiny. However, Yuanmin was unable to explain the other party's killing. This was the fatal point of the other party, so he grabbed it and couldn't explain it.

Then we can presume that the prophecy was organized by the Yuan family. In order to avenge the si, the prophecy was organized to frame the ministers. Yuanshou could not escape his guilt, so he could not continue to be regarded as the prime minister.

At this time, Zhang Jin snorted and asked Cui Bosu, "May I ask Cui Jun, Yuan Min admits that he is trying to kill someone to silence him?"

Cui Bosu shook his head, "He broke his both sides and was in a daze and did not ask for confessions, but Shiwei, who killed the witness, has admitted that it was Yuanmin's instruction, and here is his testimony!"

Zhang Jin smiled and turned to Yang Guang and the officials in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, all ministers, we all have brothers and parents. If Yuanmin didn't know, he killed this beggar out of protection for his father and brother. This is also a human being.

It’s normal, I think this is the truth. It’s not ruled out that Yang Yuanqing deliberately set up a plan and tricked Yuanmin!”

There was an uproar in the court, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Yang Yuanqing, including Yang Guang. In fact, Yang Guang had already guessed that with Yang Yuanqing's style of doing things, this was most likely his layout.

"General Yang, come out to confront each other!" Yang Guang began to turn from a bystander to a dominant player. Now the entire debate has reached its most critical moment.

This is also Zhang Jin's trump card. Yang Yuanqing did not admit it, nor did they admit it. Neither of them had any evidence. The witness died, and no new witness was found. In the end, this one was in the case.

Things can only be left alone.

"Shangshu Zhang, your conclusion is so ridiculous!"

Yang Yuanqing walked out and he bowed to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, according to Zhang Shangshu's words, it was really a design. If Yuan Min did not kill this person, now I will testify again, wouldn't I let myself dig my own grave?"

Zhang Jin sneered: "Even if Yuanmin doesn't kill him, you will kill him to silence him. You won't leave him to expose your yin plot."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and said to Zhang Jin: "According to what Zhang Shangshu means, everything is possible, is that right?"

"That's what's going on!"

Zhang Jin also did not give in to the trail: "You have no evidence, no new evidence, everything is dead and there is no evidence. You can say that Yuanmin killed someone to silence him, but I can also say that it was a trap you set. No one has any evidence, how can you

Let the Lord and the ministers convince?”

Zhang Jin took a step forward and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the Yuan family has been a famous noble for a hundred years and has its own guardians. I believe they will not do anything to organize prophecies."

Yang Guang's eyes turned to Yang Yuanqing, "General Yang, what else do you have to say?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I really have no evidence. I finally found a witness, but was killed and silenced. Finally, I had to bite me back, saying that I was a design to harm people. It was obvious that I was a victim of the prophecy, but in the end I became

Those who harm others will be inverted by black and white. Your Majesty, I really have nothing to say."
