After hearing Li Yu's series of impeachments against Su Changzhen, Emperor Deqing's face also became serious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yu's list of the "ten major crimes" for Su Changyi, although the seriousness is not as serious as Wei Zhongxian of the previous dynasty, but every one of them is not to be underestimated, even if only one of the charges is confirmed to be true, Su Changzhen is also the result of dismissal and imprisonment, if these ten crimes are all confirmed to be true, then not only Su Changzhen will be beheaded, but his wife and daughter will also be affected, even if thousands of people are implicated.

I have to say that when Li Yu wrote this impeachment note, he was absolutely ruthless.

So, Emperor Deqing raised his hand, and saw that Zhang De, the great eunuch beside him, walked quickly in front of Li Yu, took the impeachment note in Li Yu's hand, and then handed it to Emperor Deqing with both hands.

After Emperor Deqing carefully read Li Yu's impeachment recital, his expression became more and more serious.

Then, Emperor Deqing raised his head and confirmed to Li Yu again: "Su Changyi's charges, do you really have tangible evidence in your hands?" ”

Li Yu looked calm and said: "Your Majesty, every crime that the minister impeached Su Changzhen has conclusive physical evidence or human evidence. For example, Su Changqi accepted the former Suzhou prefect Zhao Benqi's 30,000 taels of silver, then Zhao Benqi was transferred to Shandong after the expiration of his term of office in the Suzhou prefect, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself, and finally committed a crime, and now he is being detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, although the case of his conviction has nothing to do with the term of office of the Suzhou prefect, but the minister also went to the prison to interrogate Zhao Benqi in detail, and Zhao Benqi also confessed to the fact that he had bribed Su Changqi......

Another example is the matter of Su Changzhen dispatching private soldiers to suppress the people, and there are also several people in the hands of the minister who came to the capital to sue the emperor, and they can all prove that the minister's impeachment is not false......

Another example is Su Changyi's exclusion of dissidents and forming a party for personal gain, and the minister also has conclusive witnesses! The former Wujiang County Commander Li Yicheng was dismissed from his official position by Su Changyi because he refused to take refuge in Su Changyi, and this person is now living in the capital, and His Majesty can ask him for questioning......"

Then, in front of Emperor Deqing and hundreds of officials, Li Yu told in detail all the criminal evidence he had collected one by one, and every piece of evidence was provable, which once again increased the credibility of his impeachment.

For a while, all the officials in the Imperial Palace were shocked, even if some officials were originally Su Changyi's protégés, but in the face of countless conclusive and ironclad evidence, they did not dare to speak for Su Changzhen easily, for fear that they would be implicated, so they chose to protect themselves.

There are even some ministers with keen eyes, and the eyes that look at Li Yu at this time are even more meaningful -- it is impossible to collect so much detailed evidence of crimes just by relying on Li Yu's mere supervision of the imperial history, which will take countless time and energy, I am afraid that Li Yu has been instructed and supported by a certain force, but now I don't know which party this force is in the DPRK and China, and it is not clear what the intention of this force is to suddenly target Su Changji.

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Emperor Deqing's expression was slightly calm, and he also thought of the situation that someone was instructed behind Li Yu.

So, Emperor Deqing took a deep look at Li Yu and asked, "Are you alone in finding out all these criminal evidence?" I'm afraid it's impossible, right? ”

Li Yu still looked upright, and said calmly: "It's just the minister, of course, it is impossible to find out so much evidence, and the minister has also received the support and assistance of many colleagues during the investigation, such as the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lord Wei Lanwei, Lord Lang Zhongji of the Criminal Department, Lord Zuoji, and the right Senator of the General Administration Department Wan Jingren Wan ......"

Then, Li Yu reported a series of names, but after hearing Li Yu's report, Emperor Deqing was even more confused for a while.

Most of the officials listed by Li Yu are not of high rank, some are neutral people in the imperial court, some are marginal people of the "Zhao Party", "Zhou Party", and "Shen Party", and of course, there are some Qingliu who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but these people are mixed together, but it makes Emperor Deqing unable to figure out which force wants to bring down Su Changyi.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen secretly remembered the list of names listed by Li Yu in his heart.

Unlike the confused Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen had already guessed that the instigator behind Li Yu was Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, and the people listed by Li Yu must also be involved, I am afraid that all of them are related to Zhu Hejian, and Zhao Junchen may be able to find out one or two of Zhu Hejian's true power through these people in the future.

On the other side, after Emperor Deqing pondered for a moment again, he handed Li Yu's note to the great eunuch Zhang De again, and said: "Give Li Yu's impeachment note to the elders, after all, Su Changyi is a feudal official and a second-class member of the imperial court, and now he is far away in Nanzhili, if the imperial court wants to convict him, it should also be cautious." ”

As he spoke, the corner of Emperor Deqing's eyes swept towards the hundred officials.

The meaning of Emperor Deqing's statement is obvious-if someone among the hundred officials wants to speak for Su Changyi, now is the time.

However, the vast majority of officials in the Imperial Palace regard the four words "Mingzhe self-preservation" as a life criterion, and most of Su Changdi's protégés and former officials are selfish and corrupt officials, seeing that Su Changzhen is about to be in big trouble, how can they be willing to speak for Su Changzhen? As for those Qingliu, they have long seen that Su Changyi is not pleasing to the eye, so naturally they will not plead for Su Changyi.

For a while, there was silence in the Imperial Palace, and everyone was waiting to see what happened.

In the end, the person who spoke for Su Changyi did not appear, but the person who fell into the well jumped out first.

Shen Changmao, now as the first assistant to the cabinet, naturally read Li Yu's impeachment excerpt first.

After reading the impeachment excerpt, Shen Changmao's face was overjoyed - he once wanted to win over Su Changzhen to join the "Shen Party" to increase his momentum, but he was rejected by Su Changzhen, so Shen Changmao has always held a grudge against Su Changzhen - isn't it a good time to take revenge?

So, after handing over Li Yu's recital to Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao didn't wait for the rest of the cabinet elders to read the recital, so he preemptively made a list of his attitudes: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Yu's impeachment of Su Changzhen is credible!" In fact, in recent years, the old minister has also heard that Su Changzhen has done evil deeds in Nanzhili, but he is far away in the capital, and it has been inconvenient to verify, and now Li Yu's impeachment of Su Changzhen is all substantially proven, which shows that Su Changzhen is indeed a corrupt official and traitor who committed a heinous crime, and should be strictly investigated and dealt with, otherwise it will not be enough to be righteous and angry, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a holy judgment! ”

As Shen Changmao's words fell, the originally quiet Imperial Palace suddenly became lively again.

Those Qingliu who had already seen Su Changyi's displeasure, those political enemies who had conflicts with Su Changzhen, and the "Shen Party" officials who only looked forward to Shen Changmao's horse, all came out one after another, expressing their attitude of asking the imperial court to severely punish Su Changzhen.
