Chapter Fifty-Three: The Criminal's Mind Alone
Chu Nanyue ignored it, and only continued to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the last general has used his own money to calm down the situation, and secretly, the last general, His Royal Highness the Sixth and Lord Zhang Song still have not given up the investigation. ”
"Xing Ziyi, you should be quiet first!" Seeing the emperor's displeased face, Tanglin Shuo warned Xing Ziyi in a cold voice.
"General Chu, what is the result of your continued investigation?" The Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, this is the thief's confession, and it is clearly written." Chu Nanyue directly presented the things in his hand.
The palace people forwarded the confession to the emperor, and the emperor raised his eyes and looked at it for a long time before he said coldly: "Hire thieves, steal the people, and frame General Chu...... Xing Ziyi! How daring! ”
Wai Lang, a dignified member of the military department, would do such a lawless thing, and the signature and drawing were right in front of him, and Xing Ziyi was not allowed to quibble.
"Your Majesty, I'm ......"
The confession letter smashed itself at Xing Ziyi, and Xing Ziyi fell to her knees, unable to help but panic.
"Father, if you think about it, all this may have been strange from the beginning. At that time, above the court, Xing Ziyi was the only one who objected to General Chu's strategy of governing the army, doesn't this seem to be deliberate? Tanglin Shuo said beside him.
When the emperor heard this, he looked at Xing Ziyi and said coldly: "You wanted to give me a hint from the beginning, and you wanted me to keep this thought. You said that there might be chaos in General Chu's army, but within a few days, there was really a theft case in the capital, what is your purpose? ”
People who make things out of thin air often have additional ulterior motives. In order to prove that her remarks are true, Xing Ziyi did not hesitate to collude with thieves to make trouble in the capital.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" Xing Ziyi bowed his head and said.
"Your Majesty, the last general is also very curious, why does Lord Xing have to frame the soldiers of our army." Chu Nanyue also said.
Could it be that if she is framed, what benefits will Xing Ziyi directly get?
On the top of the main hall, Xing Ziyi was silent, and it took a long time before he raised his head and said, "The sinner is a sin who deserves death!" The guilty minister saw that General Chu had won the trust of the emperor, and not long ago he was appointed with a heavy responsibility, and the criminal minister served in the military department of the central government for 15 years, and he was just an outsider, why is this?! ”
Looking at Chu Nanyue, Xing Ziyi's face showed indignation: "Chu Nanyue is a female streamer, so that's it." But she is young, and His Majesty handed over the Beijing suburb garrison to her, is Your Majesty really relieved? ”
The emperor looked down at Xing Ziyi at the bottom of the stairs and asked, "Do you think that General Chu will lose the army if he gets the position of commander of the garrison, or do you think it will be unfavorable to you?" ”
The emperor spoke straightforwardly, but the ministers were awe-struck by it. Chu Nanyue gained military power, and the military department was naturally unhappy, but this kind of thinking should never be shown, let alone the current frame.
The emperor's eyes became more and more murderous: "You are greedy for power, if you confess it yourself, I am afraid that it will be better, why bother to make such righteous and awe-inspiring words now, make a show for me!" ”
The so-called worry, Zhongjun, is just an excuse for his greed to be unsatisfied, and then he is jealous of Chu Nanyue.
Xing Ziyi has been a member of the military department for fifteen years, and he is also conscientious, and the emperor has always trusted, and he doesn't want to be so disappointed today.
The ministers all talked and sighed.
"Master Xing, you are so confused!" At this time, Jing Ninghou also came out and sighed.
Chu Nanyue looked at Jing Ninghou's fast-changing attitude, and felt funny in his heart, probably the Chu family has survived by relying on the "wall grass" like living method for many years.
She looked at the appearance of all beings in the court with cold eyes, and remembered that when he was accused by Xing Ziyi before, those ministers were eager to take the opportunity to step him down.
It can be seen that among many ministers, they only talk about interests, and where there is a daily friendship.
However, in the emotion, Chu Nanyue's doubts still did not dissipate.
Xing Ziyi's motives are too strange.
It took so much effort that officials were even involved in the stolen people's homes. Xing Ziyi just wanted to pull her Chu Nanyue off the horse.
But Chu Nanyue asked herself, even in her previous life, she had never had any grudges against Xing Ziyi.
But if it is for the sake of interests, even if he is not in the position of the commander of the garrison, it will not be Xing Ziyi's turn to sit there.
Chu Nanyue thought in her mind, and she suddenly remembered a person.
Xing Ziyi's replacement candidate who was hard to recommend at that time was Dongling Yan.
On that day, almost everyone thought that something was wrong with the army under their rule, and the emperor almost listened to Xing Ziyi's advice in anger.
Xing Ziyi did not recommend herself, but recommended Tanglin Yan very firmly. It was only later that because of the intercession of Tanglin Shuo and others, everyone shifted their focus to investigating the case, rather than her position as a general.
Chu Nanyue raised her eyes and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the last general suspects that Xing Ziyi is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, and there are other people behind Xing Ziyi." ”
At the front of the crowd, looking at Chu Nanyue, it was Dongling Yan's smiling eyes.
"There is another person...... the emperor narrowed his eyes deeply, turned his head to ask Xing Ziyi, and said, "Xing Ziyi, I will give you another chance, the main offender and the accomplice are charged differently. Whether you are your own idea, or is there someone behind you, you are invited from the truth! ”
The emperor's voice was loud, and the sound of his words echoed in the hall. When Xing Ziyi heard this, she bowed her head more and more.
"Your Majesty, it is the sinner's own jealousy that is too strong, and it is the idea of the sinner alone, which is really an unforgivable sin! Ask the emperor to punish him! Xing Ziyi gritted her teeth and said.
"But you framed me, and you didn't get any benefit at all, so why should you ......" Chu Nanyue couldn't help frowning.
She wanted Xing Ziyi to tell the person behind her as the court, but Xing Ziyi was more loyal to that person than she imagined, and things became difficult.
"General Chu thinks that I must have a benefit to frame you?" Xing Ziyi snorted coldly. "As long as I can harm you, I don't care if I can benefit or not."
This seemed to be true, but Chu Nanyue couldn't believe it.
Chu Nanyue looked at Xing Ziyi in front of her, as if trying to make a final dissuasion: "That sentence, can you really bear the consequences of doing this?" ”
Such a sin is punishable by death.
Chu Nanyue saw that Xing Ziyi really swallowed with difficulty, with fear in her eyes, but after pausing for a while, she still closed her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister has confessed, I just ask Your Majesty to let the criminal minister die happily for the sake of the guilty minister, who has also worked hard for many years." Xing Ziyi said.
The emperor frowned almost invisibly, and only after a while did he open his mouth and order: "Someone, take Xing Ziyi, a member of the military department, into the prison and give ...... Hang oneself. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xing Ziyi kowtowed and said loudly.
