Ten years of Xuande, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The Gyeonggi Governor's Office opened a court to try the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse, and because the records provided by the Inner Court proved that Li Yuntian stayed at Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, Yang Fu's lie that he had seen Li Yuntian at the Bafang Warehouse that night was self-defeating, and those "anti-beliefs" were naturally forged.

Although the evidence was conclusive, Yang Fu was still there to shout grievances, and because he was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department and did not know about the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, he naturally did not know that the wind of the court trial had changed.

Chen Tai did not pay attention to evidence in the court trial like Li Yuntian, and directly let people serve Yang Fu with a big punishment, to Yang Fu's surprise, Wei Xin did not stop Chen Tai from doing this, but just sat there with an expressionless face.

Yang Fu would not have thought that Wei Xin's life is not easy now, Li Yuntian's death not only pushed Chen Tai to the forefront, but also made Wei Xin the target of public criticism, and now he is a man with his tail between his legs, even if Emperor Xuande does not issue an edict and Li Yuntian is fair, he will no longer favor Yang Fu in the court.

After experiencing a "enjoyment" that was dead and alive and unforgettable, Yang Fu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and honestly confessed that someone instructed him to frame Li Yuntian, and confessed the identity of the instigator, who was the owner of a silk village in Beijing.

Chen Tai immediately sent people to the silk village Shun lì to catch the owner of the silk village, and what was shocking was that some letters of fornication with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the inner court were found in his home, and the eunuch of the inner court who had fornicated with the owner of the silk village was Wang Yu, the left eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei also found out the origin of the arquebus in the Bafang Warehouse, not because the arquebus workshop increased production, but because Wang Yu forged the holy decree and secretly transferred it from the arquebus workshop.

One of Jinyiwei's Qianhu who was in charge of inspecting the arquebus workshop was also implicated, accused of being Wang Yu's accomplice and deliberately hiding the evidence.

In this way, the ins and outs of the matter are already clear, the owner of the silk village is a spy of the Northern Yuan, so he deliberately created the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse to frame Li Yuntian.

The reason why Emperor Xuande suspended the court trial a few years ago was because the inner court found that Wang Yu had secretly falsified the records in the palace and wanted to frame Li Yuntian, so he launched a thorough investigation.

Just when the inner court was about to find out the hidden secret, no one could have imagined that Wang Yu would take a risk, entangled his accomplices, ventured into the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion and set fire to Li Yuntian.

After the fire at the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, Wang Yu's comrades in the inner court were frightened and handed over the original records of the sixth day of the eighth month in the hope of mitigating the guilt and revealing the truth.

The civil and military ministers who were heard in the lobby of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion knew in their hearts that Wang Yu and others were just scapegoats, and their purpose was to make the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse and the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion fire case have a proper solution, since this was Emperor Xuandeok's intention and no one wanted the situation to get out of control, so no one pierced this layer of window paper but acquiesced to the result of the court trial.

After the end of the court trial, it was close to evening, Chen Tai did not dare to slack off and immediately led Wei Xin and Hu Sihai into the palace to report to Emperor Xuande, he knew that Emperor Xuande must be waiting for the result, and only after getting the approval of Emperor Xuande can the case be officially closed, and then announced to the public.

Qianqing Palace East Warm Pavilion.

Emperor Xuande kept coughing, which made Chen Tai on the side of the bed have to raise his voice to tell the general story of the court trial, Wei Xin and Hu Sihai bowed and stood behind.

"Your Majesty, it has now been ascertained that Wang Yu, the left eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, is a spy sent by the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and he deliberately created the case of the Bafang Warehouse Musket in order to frame the Zhenguo Gong, and when the treacherous plan was revealed, he set fire to the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion." After reporting the court trial, Chen Taiyi bowed down to summarize the case, and then bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, how to deal with Wang Yu and others." ”

Since the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse was the imperial case of Emperor Xuande, the final decision on the disposition of the case was in the hands of Emperor Xuande.

"Wang Yuyi's three clans, the main offender is full of beheading, and the accomplice is mismatched!" After Emperor Xuande coughed for a while, he gave an edict with an expressionless face, and his voice was a little weak.

"Obey." Chen Tai bowed down again when he heard this, he had long known that Emperor Xuande was going to kill Wang Yu and others, otherwise how could he calm the speculation of the outside world.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time for Master Yuanxia to do things." At this time, Jin Ying, who was standing beside the bed, opened his mouth and whispered to remind Emperor Xuande.

Su Bolang entered the palace early this morning, because he often went to the palace to pray for Emperor Xuande and the concubines in the harem, so he met Emperor Xuande very smoothly and prepared to make a festival to pray for Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande naturally would not refuse, so Su Bolang set the time of the festival in the evening and led his disciples to open an altar in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace.

"The ministers are leaving." When Chen Tai heard this, he immediately led Wei Xin and Hu Sihai away with interest, so as not to disturb the upcoming festival.

In the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, when Chen Tai and the three came out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Su Bolang, who was wearing a robe, was sitting cross-legged on a futon in front of the bill, waiting for the arrival of the auspicious time, with an unfathomable expression.

This time, Su Bolang brought sixty-four disciples to the palace, and they stood around the bill according to the direction of the five elements and eight trigrams, and surrounded the bill in the middle to protect Su Bolang's Dharma.

In addition to the sixty-four disciples, there were also some Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes who were doing chores on the side, raising flags, beating drums, and burning incense.

Chen Tai and the others glanced at Su Bolang and walked out of the Qianqing Palace quickly, although they wanted to stay and watch this puja, but they knew the truth of ignoring indecency, so they left quietly.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." Chen Tai and the three of them walked out of the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace, only to see a long guard of honor with lanterns coming over the corridor, judging from the scale of the guard of honor, it should be the top standard of the harem, just as the three of them secretly guessed whether it was Empress Dowager Zhang or Empress Sun arrived, a eunuch leading the way in front of the guard of honor shouted at a sharp voice.

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly flashed aside, bowed down to the Empress Dowager Zhang's Luan, and found that Empress Hu's imperial chariot was closely behind Empress Dowager Zhang's Luan.

Although Empress Hu was deposed by Emperor Xuande, because of the fact that there was no fault and the kindness and kindness won the favor of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Hu not only enjoyed the queen's etiquette in the harem, but even Empress Sun had to respect her for three points, and the Empress Dowager Zhang often found her to accompany her.

Not long after Empress Dowager Zhang's guard of honor entered the Qianqing Palace, Chen Tai and the three of them met Empress Sun's guard of honor on the road, and it was obvious that Empress Sun deliberately went to the Qianqing Palace behind Empress Dowager Zhang, and she couldn't steal the limelight from Empress Dowager Zhang.

Out of the Forbidden City, Wei Xin, Chen Tai and Hu Sihai broke up at the gate of the palace, they were not all the way, and they had no friendship in private, so naturally they would not leave together.

It is worth mentioning that now no one in the civil and military officials of the imperial court takes sedan chairs and two-wheeled carriages, but chooses the four-wheeled carriages made by Jiangwutang.

"Brother Chen, it seems that the emperor's situation is not good." Hu Sihai did not take his own four-wheeled carriage, but got into Chen Tai's car, frowned and whispered, he quietly observed Emperor Xuande when he was in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Xuande looked haggard, his face was bloodless, and his body was extremely weak, which was not a good phenomenon.

"I hope that the emperor can hold on until the matter of Zhenguo Gong is successfully resolved." Chen Tai also noticed that Emperor Xuande's physical condition was already very bad, so he sighed and said worriedly.

Chen Tai had already received the news that Lei Ting, the sixth wife who guided Li Yuntian, had returned to Beijing, and what shocked him was that the Jiangwutang and Xiaowu Army, who were originally chaotic and even Wang Jian and Liang Shaojie could not control the situation, had unexpectedly become stable because of Lei Ting's arrival, and those military attachés and soldiers of the Xiaowu Army who were indignantly wanting to avenge Li Yuntian actually looked forward to Lei Ting, a female streamer who only had an intermediate military rank.

Although the martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army were stable, Chen Tai did not relax at all, because he knew that Lei Ting had been by Li Yuntian's side since Li Yuntian put down the Jiaozhi rebellion, and the two had a deep relationship.

"Well, how did things come to this?" Hu Sihai couldn't help but sigh, it was difficult for him to understand why Emperor Xuande suddenly wanted to attack Li Yuntian, and as a result, he led to the current tricky situation, which made the originally clear situation in the court confusing.

"Let's go to Mingshinkan first!" Chen Tai groaned for a moment, opened the window of the car, and said in a deep voice to the guards who were riding horses and following the car.

Originally, Chen Tai and Hu Sihai were going to visit Jianyi's home first, but Chen Tai was not relieved of the case of today's court trial, so he was ready to go to Mingxin Newspaper in person to explain the relevant matters of the court trial to Qi Fu, the treasurer of Mingxin Pavilion, which in his opinion was the most important of all affairs.

Since the case of the Bafang Warehouse Vulcan Gun was a royal case involving Li Yuntian and was a serious matter, the "Ming Xin Pao" could not report on it before the case was concluded.

For all kinds of gossip in Beijing, "Ming Xin Pao" is undoubtedly the best place to refute rumors, and it can let the outside world know the truth of the case as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Dharma meeting in the Qianqing Palace began, Su Bolang, who was dressed in a legal robe, sang and danced in the bill, and Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Hu and Empress Sun stood aside to watch, and now the decoction has lost its effect on Emperor Xuande's illness, and the only thing they can hope for is Su Bolang's puja.

"The queen mother, the queen, the people of Benshan want to enter the Dongnuan Pavilion to clear the plague in the room, please ask the queen mother and the queen to go to the side hall to wait." After working in the courtyard for a while, Su Bolang held a charm in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other, and came to Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Sun and said solemnly.

"Immortal Chief, please!" When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, she naturally did not tolerate deception, made a gesture of please sideways, and then led Empress Hu and Empress Sun to the side hall to wait.

Su Bolang glanced at the backs of Empress Dowager Zhang and the others, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then walked towards the Dongnuan Pavilion with seven star steps under his feet and words in his mouth.

A burly middle-aged Taoist priest with a beard and a simple compass in both hands, followed behind Su Bolang with his head down, and entered the Dongnuan Pavilion unimpeded.
