Xue Yan returned to Dali Temple, took some things, and returned to the signing room of the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, within twenty steps outside the signing room, no idle people were allowed to approach, and Zhu Gaoxu's confidant Chen Dachui was responsible for looking outside.
With the sun setting in the west, the quaint yard of the Ministry of Rites is very quiet.But the surrounding guard posts add a bit of tension here.
There is a small window on the height of the west wall of the signing room; the sunlight that was originally tilted in was getting flatter and flatter, but from an angle, it was not far from You hour!
In the urgent and hasty time, Zhu Gaoxu was still calm.He sat next to the table, his movements were very steady and without feeling panic. He was silently browsing the secret scrolls that Xue Yan brought.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Xue Yan and said quietly: Xue Siqing sits.
Xue Yan, who had been standing for a long time, then clasped his fists and said: The lower official, Prince Xie, gave him a seat.
Zhu Gaoxu looked through the things placed on the table. After a while, he finally put the things down from his hands.
He straightened his waist, let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Xue Yan and said: These things are of great use. Xue Siqing has made great contributions. I promise that you can make up for your mistakes.
The prince was kind... Xue Yan clasped his fists and said, and after he said that, he showed a thoughtful expression on his face.It seems to be thinking about where the big use is.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu sorted out his thoughts and said in a very fast voice: These things can at least confirm that the death of the late emperor in the East Palace!
Xue Yan nodded and asked: There is something unknown to the emperor. Why did the crown prince (Gao Chi) investigate the case?
The truth is not important.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand gently and said quietly, "The key is what we have to say."
Xue Yan nodded seriously and said: The prince’s words are reasonable, and this is what the subordinates mean.
Zhu Gaoxu said: We can say this: the crown prince only wanted to launch a coup in advance, and wanted to imprison the late emperor first and then plan to assassinate; however, the late emperor suddenly was assassinated, which was a change from his plan.Later, when the crown prince was defeated and in a hurry, he became angry and wanted to find out the culprit for his unauthorized action to vent his personal anger!
Xue Yan asked: How can the prince confirm this?
Zhu Gaoxu replied: Make a confession, such as Wang Gou'er's testimony, and then get it.
Xue Yan pondered: Isn’t that…not very credible?
Zhu Gaoxu said: That's why I said that what can be proved is that the death of the late emperor in the East Palace.The facts are enough here.As long as some of them are true, the whole thing seems to be true.
It makes sense... Xue Yan said thoughtfully.
The two of them kept talking about lies, but they both looked very serious, just like they were real.
...The sun is approaching the horizon.
Zhu Gaoxu and others prepared and sent troops to close the intersections of Hongwu Gate, Chang'an Left Gate, Chang'an Right Gate and other roads; and sent people to bring all the people from the central government offices near the imperial city outside Chengtian Gate.
In addition to thousands of officials, there were also clerks, clerks, officers, and guards from various government agencies. When people arrived one after another, they were in a rush, at least several thousand!
All of these have public offices, but people of all status have them, and their clothes are colorful and dressed in all kinds of clothes.
In addition, there are a large number of soldiers of the destruction army in the brick square.
Zhu Gaoxu and several civil officials and generals stood south of Chengtian Gate and Wai Wulong Bridge.At this time, multiple tables were brought together and a platform was being built; from a distance, it looked like a stage was being built.
The square between Chengtian Gate and Chang'an left and right gates was already full of dense people.This scene is like the festival in the City God Temple, where people gather together and are watching the show.
Not long after, the simple stage was ready.On the table, there is a chair directly above; on the left and right sides, there are two rows of benches.
Zhu Gaoxu took off the iron helmet from his head, handed it to Chen Dachui beside him, and walked onto the stage.He cleared his throat, raised his hands and said: Everyone...
The noisy crowd below gradually became much quieter, and countless eyes were staring at Zhu Gaoxu on the stage.
Zhu Gaoxu said: In the past two years, something has happened; everyone present and hundreds of millions of people from the Ming Dynasty in the world should know some general facts.That is, the late emperor passed away and the king Zhu Gaoxu escaped from the capital alone; then the "sinceremonial battle" took place.This is a well-known fact!
He paused for a moment and said: So, what happened in the palace? This king raised his troops to attack the crime and went through hardships to enter the capital for this truth! It is even more for the sake of justice today’s right and wrong! To punish all the consciences of the great traitors and evil!
In the crowded crowd of thousands, no one questioned these simple facts, and many people nodded thoughtfully.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: I will tell you another fact.The middle of the previous year, the king came to Beijing from the battlefield of Annan Kingdom to offer prisoners, and was ordered to enter the palace, and then the palace gate was closed!From the time when the palace gate was closed to the movement of the coffin of the late emperor to the Ganqing Palace, were there only a few civil and military officials allowed to enter the palace?!
These people are: Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Jin Zhong, Yuan Gong, Guo Zi, and Tan Qing.
This is a fact in full view of everyone!If this king is wrong, everyone present is paying for the price near Qianbulang and can stand up and argue!
Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while, and saw that no one questioned him, so he said: OK!Based on the above two facts, this king asked about the truth in the palace at that time!Come, send lots!
The sergeants came with plates.
The crowd of thousands of people, although the people stood in a mess and untidy manner, was completely incomparable to the military formation, they stood in separate places.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has strict hierarchy and distinction between high and low, and officials are not willing to stand with Xu Yao.
So the soldiers divided the crowd and began to sprinkle notes into balls of paper.
Most of the notes were white paper, and only a small amount of them were written.
Anyone who picked up the notes with words was invited by the soldiers; these people were all kinds of people, including high-ranking officials, purely servants, etc.
The person who caught the lot was invited to the stage. Civil officials and generals, according to their official positions, were divided into two sides and sat on the benches; officers, guards, etc. stood beside them.
There were more people on the stage and the layout was richer, and the emotions of thousands of viewers were mobilized.Some are solemn, some are fearful, some are strange, and some are relished...
Zhu Gaoxu shouted: Come up with the people involved, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Yuan Gong, Guo Zi, Tan Qing and Haitao!(Of course Jin Zhong is dead, not listed here; Haitao belongs to an internal official, not a minister.)
The seven people were taken to the stage by the soldiers and stood in the middle facing the crowd.Almost all of them wore official uniforms and black hats, because they were just suspicious at this time and were not convicted!
Zhu Gaoxu sat back on the chair in his upper position and asked loudly: I ask you, what caused the death of the late emperor?
None of the few people said anything. They frowned and thought about something, with the same expression!
Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Yang Rong and said: Yang Rong, you wrote that mansion report about how I disobeyed the late emperor and how arrogant I left the palace; how the late emperor accepted the red pill presented by Ji Gang and died.You tell everyone now, is that true?
Yang Rong was silent for a long time, and then looked up at the attention of people.His face was very awkward and soon turned red.
At this time, Yang Rong said with a word: Yes.After saying that, he showed fear and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu.
But Zhu Gaoxu was not furious, and he said coldly: Very good!Take the Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan!
Xue Yan followed two sergeants and walked onto the stage with a bag.
Zhu Gaoxu had a loud voice and was full of energy. He asked loudly: Xue Yan, Minister of Dali Temple, before I entered the capital, were you investigating the death of the late emperor on my elder brother's wishes?
Xue Yan replied: I’m going to talk about the king of Han, yes.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: How do you prove it?Is there any real evidence?
Xue Yandao: The lower official had several imperial edicts from the emperor (Gao Chi), and was allowed to go to the imperial prison, the Eastern Palace, and the harem to investigate the case.Please check the Han King.
Zhu Gaoxu said: You don’t have to look at me, let everyone on the table who are on the side to verify the authenticity of the imperial edict!
The sergeant got the evidence from Xue Yan, put it on a wooden plate, and gave it to people on the counter to pass on the video to verify.
Gao Chi has been the emperor for almost two years, and most of the officials in the capital are familiar with Gao Chi's handwriting; after checking, they all said that they had written an imperial edict and stamped with seals.
Zhu Gaoxu also casually pointed to a civil servant and asked him to read out the content of the imperial edict in public.
At this moment, the eunuch Mengge stood up to testify!He said that when the emperor issued the imperial edict, he was responsible for grinding ink once.This witness was not arranged in advance by Zhu Gaoxu, and it was an accident.
The eunuch of Silijian, Haitao, looked at Meng Ge with an angry look.They must have known each other.
With evidence of Xue Yan and Meng Ge, physical evidence Gao Chi personally wrote the imperial edict.
Zhu Gaoxu made a conclusion loudly in public: Xue Yan was investigating the death of the late emperor before, and this matter was instructed by the Crown Prince (Gao Chi), and it had nothing to do with this king!
Under the conclusive and reasonable verdict conclusion, no one stood up to question it.
Even Yang Ronghaitao and seven other members of the Eastern Palace did not refute it... The refutation requires evidence, otherwise it would be unreasonable and useless in public view.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately entered the next part and asked loudly: Xue Siqing, what did you find out?
Xue Yan's throat squirmed a few times, his expression was very solemn, and hesitated slightly.But Zhu Gaoxu was waiting calmly. He believed that Xue Yan understood what to choose at this time.
Dongdongdongdongdong... The drums sounded on the city tower in the distance.The soldiers of the Crime Army who took over the defense of Zhengyangmen did not forget to ring the drums at the hour of You.
At this time, within twenty steps outside the signing room, no idle people were allowed to approach, and Zhu Gaoxu's confidant Chen Dachui was responsible for looking outside.
