Chapter 805 - Making Something Out of Nothing

"The emperor is angry, and the dragon body is important." Seeing that Emperor Xuande was angry, Jin Ying, Yang Qing and Fan Hong hurriedly knelt in front of the warm couch and said in fear.

"I think I treat him well, and I want to do something wrong, which really makes me feel cold!" Emperor Xuande coughed up two mouthfuls of blood on his handkerchief and reprimanded it with an angry face.

According to the eunuch of Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, sent people to Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture today to meet Li Yuntian's two fathers-in-law, that is, Zheng Gui, the president of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and Chen Bozhao, the vice president, and I don't know what happened.

What is especially important is that King Ning has secretly sent people to contact his old department in Daning, and asked his subordinates to buy grain and iron tools wantonly, which seems to have bad intentions.

Among the many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, there is a vassal king that Emperor Xuande fears the most, that is, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning of the Ming Dynasty, if it were not for the Yongle Emperor to buy off the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, so that the Wuliang Ha Sanwei betrayed King Ning, then it is not easy for the Yongle Emperor to force the strong King Ning to rebel with him, and even fall into the pattern of being attacked by the north and south of King Ning and Emperor Jianwen.

Although King Ning is the brother of Emperor Yongle, he is only three months older than Emperor Hongxi and two years older than King Han.

After being renamed Nanchang by Emperor Yongle, King Ning felt that the future was hopeless, so he raised his ambiguity, and associated with literati and scholars, pinned his affection on opera, entertainment, writings and Taoism, and befriended Zhang Yuchu, the 43rd generation of Taoist Heavenly Master, to study Taoist classics and promote Taoist doctrines.

Not only that, King Ning also in the suburbs of Nanchang to build a fine house of cultivation, had in the West Mountain Ridge to create Taoist temples and mausoleums, Yongle Emperor learned that after the special amount of "Antarctic Immortal Palace", he wrote the Taoist monograph "Emperor to the Tao Taiqing Jade Book" eight volumes, written in the orthodox nine years, included in the "Continuation of the Taoist Collection".

Even when the Han King rebelled, and the Ming army and the rebels fought in Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi and Datong, King Ning still hid in the Taoist temple and cultivated the Tao, putting on a posture of indisputability, and was later specially rewarded by Emperor Xuande.

At that time, Emperor Yongle once promised King Ning to share the world with him after seizing the Ming Dynasty, but after Emperor Yongle inherited the unification, not only did not let King Ning share the country with him, but instead seized King Ning's military power and moved King Ning from Daning in Liaodong to Jiangxi in the south of the Yangtze River, which made King Ning lose his power in an instant.

For more than 30 years, King Ning has been following the rules, without the slightest excess of the heart of Lei Chi, although Emperor Yongle is the iron-blooded emperor in the eyes of the people, but he has always been courteous to King Ning, even Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande are also the King of Ning and other vassal kings to treat each other differently, and each time the reward is the most generous.

Now, Emperor Xuande never imagined that King Ning, who was already more than half a hundred years old, would have a bad heart, which shocked him, and he was also extremely angry and even panicked, he didn't want the Ming Dynasty to have another battle of martyrdom, and King Ning's was more calm than the King of Han, and it was really terrible to be able to lie dormant for more than 30 years.

If Emperor Xuande was not worried about King Ning's words, but if King Ning instigated the rebellion of the Xiaowu Army and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, then the consequences would be extremely severe, and if Li Yuntian fell into the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse and died, it was not possible that the Xiaowu Army and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce would be bewitched.

Emperor Xuande couldn't imagine that if the Xiaowu Army of the Liaodong Military Region, the Northern Military Region and the Southwest Military Region attacked from the north and south, the army of the Ming Dynasty would be able to compete with it.

It is worth mentioning that the Liaodong Military Region and the Northern Military Region are at the doorstep of the capital, separated only by a Great Wall, and the Great Wall is obviously unable to stop the pace of the Xiaowu army moving south, and the city of Beijing will be plunged into a war.

"Ahem, go, pass on my decree, suspend the court trial of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, and wait for me to tell when the trial will begin!" After experiencing the initial anger, Emperor Xuande remembered something and said to Jin Ying while coughing.

"Minions, let's do it." Jin Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, bowed to Emperor Xuande quietly, walked quickly to the door of the hall and ordered a few words to a seven-rank eunuch who was waiting for the decree, and the eunuch immediately rushed away.

"I hope it's in time!" Looking at the back of the seven-rank eunuch, Jin Ying frowned slightly, and secretly prayed, today, the four eunuchs of the inner court performed such a play in front of Emperor Xuande, but they can't give up their efforts, otherwise they will be busy in vain.

Obviously, whether it is Wang Jin, Yang Qing, or Fan Hong, the information provided to Emperor Xuande is all fictitious.

Now that the capital is in an extraordinary period, the civil and military officials of the imperial court do not dare to act rashly even if they have any thoughts, after all, Emperor Xuande has not died, and Li Yuntian has not been convicted, how can such a dense gathering still discuss the distribution of benefits between the martial arts hall and the crown prince after he ascends the throne?

For the sake of safety, the civil and military ministers in the court would wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne before discussing the distribution of power, so that they would not anger Emperor Xuande, and at the same time would not offend Li Yuntian, because Li Yuntian had already been executed by Emperor Xuande at that time.

Emperor Xuande would never have imagined that the four eunuchs he relied on the most would join forces to deceive him, which made him completely undoubted the authenticity of the matter, so he was furious and surprised and had to suspend the court trial in the hall of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, and he found that Li Yuntian had a pivotal role in the court situation, and he could not die so easily, otherwise it would trigger a series of chain reactions.

Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion lobby.

The civil and military officials of the imperial court sat on the left and right sides of the hall in turn, talking to each other in a whispered voice, they already knew that Chen Tai had transferred all the records of August from the inner court, and they would know what Li Yuntian's fate was after checking in the court.

Compared with the last court trial, there is one less person in the civil and military compound sitting in the lobby, that is, the official department Shangshu Jianyi, Jianyi has passed the ancient years, and his health has not been very good in the past two years, he wanted to participate in the afternoon court trial, but in the morning, he suddenly fainted in the ministry, which made the officials jump for a while.

After the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, Jian Yi needed bed rest, so he had to regretfully miss today's trial.

"The chief judge has arrived!" Just when everyone was talking, a loud voice sounded outside the lobby, Chen Tai, Wei Xin and Hu Dahai walked in expressionlessly, and the people present got up to greet each other when they saw this, and the scene was quiet for a while.

"Take the town of Guogong." After taking a seat behind the desk in the lobby, Chen Tai shouted in a deep voice with an expressionless face.

He had already read the relevant records and information obtained from the inner court, and all the records showed that Li Yuntian left the palace on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, which was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to Li Yuntian, and it could be said that Li Yuntian was put to death.

At the same time, the teahouse outside the south gate of the imperial city, in the same private room, Fang Liang and Ah Qiu were still drinking tea there, waiting for the result of the court trial.

"Mr. Qiu, this time the Zhenguo Gong is weak and will definitely die!" After putting down the teacup in his hand, Fang Liang smiled and said to Ah Qiu, the evidence that Chen Tai got was concocted by him, and he naturally knew that Li Yuntian had no way to defend himself now.

"The world is impermanent, and for people like Li Yuntian, they can't relax until the last moment." Ah Qiu's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, he was still not as optimistic as Fang Liang, because he didn't believe that Li Yuntian would be tied down at all, thinking that Li Yuntian must have arranged an unknown plan in private, which made him feel worried.

"As long as the records in the palace are doubled and announced in the court, the Duke of Zhenguo will first be held accountable for the inconsistency of the records of the inner court, which is a big crime of bullying the king, plus those muskets in the Bafang Warehouse, the Duke of Renguo, who is in charge of the case, knows the emperor's intentions and knows how to do it, even if the Duke of Zhenguo has great ability, he will not escape this catastrophe!"

Hearing this, the corners of Fang Liang's mouth suddenly showed a trace of disdain, and he said to Ah Qiu with confidence, now that it has reached the critical moment of trying to get out of trouble, he doesn't believe that Li Yuntian can still come up with a way to get out of trouble this time.

"Will he start with the Queen Mother?" Hearing this, Ah Qiu's brows furrowed again, and then he looked at Fang Liang with a stern expression, as far as the current shape is concerned, Empress Dowager Zhang is the only person who saved Li Yuntian from fire and water, if she opens her mouth to intercede for Li Yuntian, Emperor Xuande may not change her mind to kill Li Yuntian.

"Since the prince of Zhenguo went to the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, the lord of Yingrui and the lord of Ruixiang have never entered the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, the queen mother has always ignored the government and the matter of the prince of Zhenguo has involved the Ming Dynasty, if the queen mother wants to relieve the siege of the prince of Zhenguo, she would have intervened in this matter a long time ago, but until now the palace is calm and calm, and the morning did not prevent the inner court from recording those who are recorded to the governor's mansion of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government, it seems that the Empress Dowager Zhang is not ready to give the prince of Zhenguo."

Fang Liang thought that Ah Qiu was too worried, and said slowly while leisurely sipping tea, he didn't think that Empress Dowager Zhang would help Li Yuntian, otherwise those records of the inner court would not reach the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion at all.

Ah Qiu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, thinking that Fang Liang's words were reasonable, Empress Dowager Zhang can be described as a generation of virtuous queens of the Ming Dynasty, not only abiding by the duties of the harem and never interfering in court politics, but also has a close relationship with the female dependents of the powerful in the capital, has a huge network of interpersonal relationships, and has a pivotal position in the court.

Obviously, Empress Dowager Zhang will not intervene in Li Yuntian's case lightly, the reason is very simple, this is a Qin case set by Emperor Xuande, if she interferes, she will be suspected of disrupting the government, after all, Emperor Xuande has his own ideas about doing this.

In the lobby of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, Li Yuntian strode into the hall under the guidance of a military attache of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, his expression was as usual, his spirit seemed very good, and he was not haggard and decadent because of the deep danger, which made everyone at the scene secretly admire Li Yuntian's broad-mindedness.

If it is left to others, I am afraid that I will be panicked all day long when I encounter the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse, and I am already haggard and in a mess, who can be as calm and calm as Li Yuntian?

"Zhenguo Gong, this governor asks you, do you stay in the palace on the sixth day of the eighth month?" After Li Yuntian saluted the ministers at the scene, Chen Tai asked expressionlessly.

"Lord Dudu, my father remembers it clearly, and stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month." Li Yuntian did not hesitate at all, and replied solemnly.

"If this is the case, then the Governor shall check the other records of the Inner Court to prove their authenticity." Chen Tai groaned for a moment when he heard this, said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice, and then nodded to a military attache from the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion standing in front of the hall.

The military attache immediately left the hall, and soon led in with several eunuchs with account books in their hands, these eunuchs were sent by the celebrant to assist Chen Tai in investigating the case, and the account books were the relevant records of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court on the sixth day of the eighth month.

Looking at the account books in the hands of the eunuchs, the important ministers of the court present whispered again in private, if they did not guess wrong, the contents of these account books would put Li Yuntian to death, it seems that Li Yuntian is in a catastrophe this time, even if he has great ability, he is helpless.

At this moment, Li Yuntian was still standing there with his usual expression, no one could see what he was thinking now, whether he was confident that he had a way to fight back or was ready to accept his fate!
