Be a master through ancient times

The day after Xiao Wuzi was taken away for interrogation was a great Asahi.Yesterday the imperial palace was on fire, and the ministers had heard about it, and heard it from the officials of the Chang Dynasty. They were even more curious about it.

However, Mu Yuanxiu was a tight-lipped person. When he was waiting at the door, several adults inquired with him, but they couldn't find out a single word. One of them was the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.The immediate boss didn't sell any face, so the others naturally didn't make fun of themselves.

After going through the procedures as usual, everyone saw that Tianhedi did not take the initiative to mention the arson, and they didn't know whether to ask or not.After all, Tianhedi's furious incident a few days ago still made them a little afraid.

Emperor Tianhe had seen enough of their inner struggles, so he said: "All the lovers have also heard about the fire in the palace yesterday, right? It was not an accident, but someone deliberately set the fire on fire. When I was in court yesterday He ordered Mu Aiqing to investigate the case, and finally caught the person who set the fire, and after some interrogation, that person revealed who was behind the scenes."

Speaking of this, Emperor Tianhe suddenly stopped, and his majestic eyes swept over the officials, which shocked the hearts of the people present. Could it be that the person behind the scenes that the man confessed was a certain important minister in the court?

"Since the case has not been verified, I will not announce it. I would like to ask everyone, how should the person behind the scenes who ordered the slaves to set the fire be dealt with?"

Everyone's appetite was whetted, but they couldn't know the result, and they were even more surprised when they heard what Tianhedi meant.In order to show that they are not behind the scenes, the courtiers tried their best to give advice to Tianhedi.

Some said that his heart could be punished, and suggested beheading at the Meridian Gate to show the public.Some said that this punishment was too cheap for him, and that a person with such a sinister heart should be cut into pieces and die in pain.It is also said that this person is so bold that he dared to order his servants to set fire. If he dared to burn Yuchang Palace today, someone might burn Qianyuan Palace tomorrow. He should punish his nine clans to make an example of you.

The imagination of the civil servants is very rich, even the top ten tortures are mediocre in front of them, and the ministers are still spitting out ideas. Fu Hai waved.

Zhang Fuhai stepped back while no one was paying attention, looked at the little eunuch in front of him with a dark face, and scolded in a low voice: "Which father-in-law are you under? Where have you learned the rules? If you bring some trivial matters over, Watch out for our family to screw your head off!"

The young lady trembled and said, "Eunuch Yuan De sent the servant over. He said that the jade pendant was also found out. It is indeed the Second Highness's."

"Hurry up and go back and ask Yuande to bring Xiao Wuzi here, as well as any other witnesses, bring them along with you."

"Yes!" The little eunuch ran away in a hurry, Zhang Fuhai turned back to the main hall, whispered into Emperor Tianhe's ear, and told him about it.

"You did a good job. When the people arrive, you will directly announce them to the hall."

Zhang Fuhai responded, then retreated to the side, keeping his eyes on the outside, and when he saw Yuan De gesturing to him outside, he shouted loudly: "Announce Zhang Yuande, little Wu Zi will see you!"

The officials who were still making up their minds were startled by his sudden voice, and when they came back to their senses, Zhang Yuande and Xiao Wuzi had already knelt down to pay their respects.

A minister recognized that both of them were servants of the palace.The Great Wei Dynasty stipulated that eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics, so the people at Yushitai are already ready to move, and they are waiting to give advice.

"Yuande, get up and answer, have you investigated this matter clearly?" Tianhedi asked.

Zhang Yuande thanked him, stood up respectfully and replied: "My sage has learned a lesson, I have interrogated him all night, and I have asked everything clearly. The source of the physical evidence has also been found out, please take a look at it."

Zhang Fuhai went down to take the things he presented, and put them in front of Emperor Tianhe.Tianhedi flipped through it, and picked up the jade pendant to examine it carefully.

The ministers below are dumbfounded, which song is this sung?Some are more sensitive and have already linked this matter with the Yuchang Palace arson case.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianhe spoke up afterwards: "My dear friends just came up with a lot of ideas for me to deal with the people behind the scenes. Now that the case has been investigated, Xiao Wuzi, tell me, the person who ordered you to set fire to Yuchang Palace ,who is it?"

Little Wu Zi was tortured all night, and at this time, he was like a frightened bird. When he heard the question, he reflexively said: "It's the second prince, and it's the second prince who ordered the slaves. , and let the slaves burn down the Yuchang Palace at night, pretending that the fire was unintentional."

what? !

These words were like a bomb thrown into the crowd, and everyone was in disbelief, especially the ministers who supported the second prince as the heir, immediately knelt down.

"Shang Mingjian, I believe that this matter must not be done by King Zhao. He has always loved his compatriots. How could he do such a crazy thing? This person must be maliciously framed and wants to put King Zhao to death!" The person was Uncle Xinyang, Yu Zhi's uncle. He looked at Xiao Wuzi with grief and indignation, wishing he could kill him soon.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." Others also said.

Emperor Tianhe watched more than half of the ministers in the hall kneeling on the ground, and felt a little admiration for Yu Zhi's way of conquering people's hearts.

However, there is another half of the people who are happy to hear about this sudden event.Such a powerful opponent is deeply involved in the scandal of mutilating his brothers and sisters. If it is true, even if the Holy Majesty does not kill him, he will not escape the fate of being demoted as a commoner.If it is fake, it can damage his reputation, which is considered a good thing.

Therefore, they stood up immediately: "The arsonist has confessed himself, how can it be false? Besides, that jade pendant belongs to King Zhao. If he has nothing to do with this person, why did this jade pendant come into his hands? This man But in the queen's palace."

"Because he is in the empress's palace, it is more likely to frame Zhao Wang," the person directly pointed out the competitive relationship between Yu Ji and Yu Zhi, "As for the jade pendant, what kind of evidence can this thing be, maybe He stole it."

"You turned the truth upside down with conclusive evidence? You also framed the empress, what should you do?" Someone caught him talking and immediately jumped up to ask the crime.

The man sneered: "Anyone with a discerning eye will know what a frame-up is. If what he planned is successful, firstly, he can get rid of the three princes, and secondly, he can use this matter to frame His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. Do you want to repeat it with me?"

There was a big quarrel between the two sides, and you kept talking, turning the serious court into a vegetable market.It wasn't until Tianhedi on the high platform coughed a few times that they calmed down.

"I heard what all the loves said just now. I actually have some doubts about what this person said. In order to prevent Zhi'er from being wronged, I have sent someone to send him to the court to defend himself."

People on both sides have no objection to Tianhedi's approach, and the next step is to wait anxiously for the process.Soon, someone from outside reported that it was Zhao Wang who asked to see him.

Emperor Tianhe announced him in. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen my father. I don't know what is my father's order to summon my son? I will definitely do my best to go. Finish."

"Zhi'er, do you know this person?" Tianhedi pointed to Xiao Wuzi.

Hearing this, Yu Zhi took two steps forward to look carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know this person."

"He is your mother's servant in the harem, you really don't know him?" Tianhedi asked in a suspicious tone.

Yu Zhi laughed at himself, and then said in a somewhat lonely tone: "Unlike the elder brother, the son-in-law is the mother-in-law and the son, and can freely enter and leave the palace. Since the establishment of the mansion, unless the father and mother concubine call, the son-in-law will not Entering the palace, let alone getting acquainted with the servants around the empress."

These words made him seem like a pitiful little man. Some ministers sighed in their hearts. His Royal Highness King Zhao is fine with everything, but his status is lower than that of King Qin. The throne is definitely his.

Tianhe Emperor also fell silent, he picked up the jade pendant in the tray, and asked: "Then what is the explanation for this thing?"

Yu Zhi made a blank expression: "The jade pendant in the hands of the emperor seems to be the one lost by the son. Some time ago, the son was visiting the imperial garden with his mother and concubine, and accidentally left it behind. The mother and concubine said a few words, everyone in the Xiuchun Palace knows about it. I don't know why it is in the hands of the emperor?"

Emperor Tianhe told what happened just now, and Yu Zhi was shocked when he heard it, and immediately knelt down in fear: "Please learn from my father and emperor, even if I borrow a hundred courage from my son and minister, I would not dare to do such a rebellious act." What's wrong! The three imperial brothers have no grievances with the son-in-law, how could the son-in-law attack them?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Wuzi again with distressed eyes, and asked through gritted teeth: "I don't know who ordered this father-in-law to frame me. What good will it do him?"

Little Wu Zi didn't dare to look at him directly, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, so he could only walk one way to the dark.

"Second prince, why pretend not to know the servant, you gave me the jade pendant yourself. You also asked me to observe the movement of Kunde Palace, and told me to report to you as soon as I saw the Holy Majesty and His Highness the First Prince passing by."

As soon as his words came out, Yu Zhi immediately had several crimes added to his body, among which spying on the emperor's trace was also a major crime.

"Empty talk has no proof, of course you can make it up as you want! If you have the ability, you can show evidence." Yu Zhi was very angry.He did win over this person, but he was the first to show his favor. In the end, he didn't get two pieces of information, and instead caused a lot of trouble. It's really frustrating.

The expression on Xiao Wuzi's face was a bit struggling, but he soon made up his mind.

"My lord, my slave has evidence to prove that I have a letter from the second prince."

Yu Zhi was startled, and quickly recalled it, and then he realized that his previous contact with this person was passed on by others, so he relaxed.

"Where is the autograph letter? Why didn't you tell me before?" Tian Hedi's face also became serious. He thought that this person was just chasing at random. Could it be that what he said was true?

"Only the servant knows that place, and please ask the Holy One to send someone to take it with me."

"Yuande, then you go with him."

After the two left, all the courtiers looked at Yu Zhi secretly. Although most of them believed that he had nothing to do with that little Wu Zi, they couldn't be sure that he was so sure.

Not long after, the two came back.Holding a letter in Yuan De's hand, as soon as he entered the hall, he first glanced at Yu Zhi with puzzled eyes.

Yu Zhi's heart tightened, and he had some bad thoughts.No, he thought to himself, he never sent a letter to Xiao Wuzi, so it must not be written by him himself.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Zhang Fuhai came down to take the letter and handed it in. As soon as Tianhedi read it, he was furious: "Second brother, you still dare to lie, this is clearly your handwriting!"

Tianhedi planned to use this trick to force that person out, but what he never expected was that Yu Zhi was actually involved in this matter!
