Without too much delay and hesitation, Yang Zhen's gaze finally fell on Wang Xijue: "Elder Wang Ge, as far as my Jinyiwei's spy reported, five days ago, you invited that Liao Cheng to your mansion, and you still had a secret conversation with him in the study for a long time, but is there such a thing?" ”

"I ......" Although he had the worst plan in his heart, but when Yang Zhen exposed it in public, Wang Xijue's face turned pale suddenly, and he snorted, and he didn't know how to respond for a while. But anyone who can observe his expression has the answer.

Yang Zhen didn't mean to ask him to answer, but continued to ask: "And as far as I know, Elder Ge, you don't have any contact with this imperial historian on weekdays, let alone any friendship. In addition, those who can enter the old study of the Wang Pavilion are all high-ranking officials in the court, and there are only a few people who can talk to you secretly for a long time. But I don't know why Ge Lao would have such a meeting with such a seven-grade imperial history? And not long after you met, this Liao Yushi came to my Jinyiwei to surrender, what is the connection? ”

Although his words seem to be doubtful, in fact, every sentence is to prove that what Liao Cheng did was instructed by Wang Xijue. The latter couldn't reply to half a sentence at the moment, and the look of horror on his face confirmed this speculation.

This made the surrounding officials very shocked and panicked. What shocked them was naturally that this matter was actually related to a cabinet minister, and what panicked was Jinyiwei's pervasive detection ability.

In the past few years, Jinyiwei has always been low-key, so low-key that many officials have begun to ignore their existence. Or Yang Zhen, the governor of the Jinyi Guard, has always been taken seriously, but the Jinyi Guard, who no longer arrests and tortures people indiscriminately as before, has been left behind, and no one thinks that this is still a threat.

Until today, they knew that the power of the Jinyi Guard had always been around them, and even more powerful than ever. Even the dignified cabinet assistant is under their surveillance when he meets people in his own house, not to mention these people themselves, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring around.

This realization made everyone feel a chill rising from their backs, and there was a lot of fear in Yang Zhen's eyes. At the same time, many people are still very happy, fortunately they have always been honest and have not done anything out of the ordinary, let alone secretly against Jinyiwei, otherwise I really don't know what the result would be.

And Wanli didn't have so many thoughts, his eyes were already fixed on Wang Xijue's body: "Elder Wang Ge, what Yang Qing said is the truth?" ”

At this time, how could Wang Xijue lie and deny it? So he could only kneel down and say: "The minister is guilty, so the minister is doing this for the stability of the court, and I hope Your Majesty will know it!" ”

"Ha......" Wanli laughed angrily, but his eyes were full of angry flames: "Okay, good! You, Wang Ge Lao, are really a loyal minister of the imperial court, and you can actually come up with such a clever plan to deceive Yu Zhen! ”

Seeing his extremely angry appearance, all the officials were even more silent, and naturally no one would stand up for Wang Xijue. When Shen Shixing saw it, his heart sank even more, but he didn't expect that his wishful thinking failed to start, but instead lifted a stone and hit his own feet, which put Wang Xijue in an extremely passive disadvantageous situation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't be silent anymore, so he stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Say!" Glancing at Shen Shixing, the emperor just coldly burst out with such a word, obviously showing extreme anger.

"Although what Wang Ge did was a little inappropriate, he was still a heart for the country after all. In fact, what Jin Yiwei did was also very improper, how could he put many officials in the DPRK and China in prison because of this incident? After a pause, Shen Shixing plucked up his courage again, swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the various yamen of the imperial court have been in chaos, if you don't release them as soon as possible, I am afraid that state affairs will be seriously affected." Moreover, this will also hurt the hearts of hundreds of officials, and I hope that Your Majesty can understand him for the country and the king! ”

As soon as Shen Ge Lao opened his mouth like this, everyone came back to their senses one after another, and they also spoke one after another: "Your Majesty, Wang Ge Lao is just confused for a while, so he will make this decision......

"Your Majesty, put the overall situation first......"

"Your Majesty......" ......

Listening to these people keep pleading with him with such big words, the coldness in Wanli's eyes became more and more intense. Over the years, he has had enough of their big words, and now it is obvious that Wang Xijue has made a big mistake, and they still want to use this set to defend him, is it really unbearable?

Thinking of this, Wanli has already made a decision, this time he will severely punish Wang Xijue no matter what, so that these courtiers can know the means of the emperor! But just when Wanli made a decision and was about to speak, he found that a familiar gaze was eyeing at him.

Wanli subconsciously looked over and saw Yang Zhen shaking his head lightly with him, which made him stunned suddenly, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and what other plans he had.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Son of Heaven was stunned, Yang Zhen had already spoken again: "Your Majesty, there are still some things that the minister doesn't know how to say properly!" ”

"Yang Qing, but it's okay to talk about it!" Wanli said without hesitation, this attitude is much better than that of others.

With this conversation, the voices of those who still wanted to intercede for Wang Xijue were also stunned, and everyone's eyes converged on Yang Zhen again, not knowing what else he would say.

"The minister just said that Wang Ge Lao pointed out the people behind Liao Cheng's guilt, but there is another more important thing that has not been explained." Yang Zhen said, glancing at Wang Xijue, who was obviously stunned: "That is, why did he do this?" Is it really just for the sake of the overall situation of the imperial court, as Shen Ge said? ”

"Yang Dudu, what do you mean by this? But do you want to add sin to others? Feeling the malice revealed in Yang Zhen's words, Shen Shixing was a little panicked, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"If a man is not guilty, how can he be imposed?" Yang Zhen looked directly into Shen Shixing's eyes without flinching: "If there are really other crimes, I should find out the truth for the Son of Heaven." ”

Shen Shixing didn't expect Yang Zhen's response to be so direct, which made him not know what to say for a while, so he could only snort coldly there, but his heart had sunk to the bottom.

Yang Zhen didn't pay attention to the other party's expression at all, and continued: "Knowing that it is very risky to ask Liao Cheng to surrender to my Jinyiwei, why does he Wang Ge Lao insist on doing this? There is only one possibility for this, and that is to cover up the larger charges. ”

"Yang Qing, what do you mean?" The emperor's brow furrowed unconsciously, and his expression became more solemn.

And the other officials had already guessed what Yang Zhen was going to say, and they all looked nervous, and their eyes fell on Yang Zhen's body, that is, Shen Shixing, and they also shuddered at this time, knowing that something really was going to happen this time.

"Maybe the minister has a little bit of a villain's heart to live the belly of a gentleman, and the minister thinks that there is only one reason why Wang Ge Lao can take this risk, and that is that he wants to exonerate himself. In other words, Wang Xijue is the author and disseminator of the book "Discussion on Danger"! It was he who concocted this demon book case! At the end of the identification, Yang Zhen's voice was very loud, and everyone in the square heard it clearly.

Everyone's expressions changed in an instant, and many of them lowered their heads and quietly retreated into the queue, the accusation was too big, and no one wanted to be provoked by it.

The scene became extremely strange for a while, not only the hundred officials, but also the high-ranking Son of Heaven Wanli, who was also in disbelief, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but his eyes kept moving back and forth on Yang Zhen and Wang Xijue.

After a while, Wanli came back to his senses, stared at Wang Xijue and said, "Wang Xijue, what else do you have to say about this?" ”

Of course, Wang Xijue wanted to say that he was wronged, but when the words came to his mouth, it was a little difficult to speak. He is very aware of his situation, and this time he has completely fallen into the most disadvantageous situation, and I am afraid that this crime may not even be cleared up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Yang Zhen's inference and designation are quite coherent, and although there is no substantial evidence, it is easily convincing. And in this era, it is not the afterlife, everything must be proved by something, as long as it can be justified, and the other party has no more sufficient evidence or words to refute it, everything will be recognized by everyone!

Yang Chen was in the middle of the court, watching his brother reverse black and white after some words, and his heart was quite complicated. Although he knew that Yang Zhen would inevitably make a big move today, he didn't expect that he would make such a big fuss and actually pull all the cabinet assistants into the whirlpool.

Shen Shixing wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak, but his face was already pale, and this time the matter was completely out of their control.

Yang Zhen was the calmest among so many people, and after taking in everyone's reactions, he said: "Your Majesty, although the minister can't come up with conclusive evidence to prove this judgment for a while, what Wang Xijue did is enough to prove that he is very suspicious. If Your Majesty is gracious, the minister is willing to take him back to the Zhenfu Division for detailed interrogation, and then he will be able to give His Majesty and the people of the world an explanation. ”

"This ......" Wanli didn't feel a little hesitant about this, after all, Wang Xijue was an important minister in the court and a deputy assistant to the cabinet, how could he hand it over to Jinyiwei so casually? In that case, where is the face of the imperial court?

And Shen Shixing, who was much more anxious than him, couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately spoke again: "No, Your Majesty, this matter must not be!" "If the person really falls into the hands of Jinyiwei, then it is really over. Not only Wang Xijue, but other courtiers may be calculated by Yang Zhen, whether it is for his friend or for the sake of the overall situation, he, the first assistant, can't let such a thing happen!
