Chapter 502 It's over, we've all become traitors!
"you!"
Wu Yuexiu pointed at Li Hualong with trembling fingers and gritted her teeth.
He really didn't expect that Li Hualong would put him together.
However, before Wu Yuexiu had time to say anything more, he was picked up by Jin Yiwei and put directly into the prison van.
Wu Yuexiu was escorted to Beijing together with Chu Wang Zhu Huakui, Wang Bihe and other puppet officials.
And he himself didn't expect that one moment he was a hero who made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and the next second he would become a criminal who harbored traitors.
On the contrary, Li Hualong was promoted two ranks in a row because of his meritorious service in suppressing rebellion and investigating traitors, and he directly became the right minister of Huguang and temporarily acted as governor.
As a result, he became the biggest winner in the entire Chu Wang Rebellion.
An Xifan and other Wu Yuexiu's party hated Li Hualong to the bone, and in his notes conceived that Li Hualong would get promoted by murdering his friends.
But An Xifan and the others could only make up their minds in their notes, and dared not say so explicitly.
Because there is no actual evidence.
On the contrary, there is evidence that Wu Yuexiu harbored criminals and embezzled adverse property.
First of all.
Wu Yuexiu's servant, Pan Gui, was indeed caught by Liu Xuezeng's people and was transporting a large amount of gold and silver out of Huguang. Secondly, Wang Bihe also confessed to the gift list that Wu Yuexiu had signed to accept bribes from him.
Although Wu Yuexiu could deny that he had no intention of joining forces with Wang Bihe, and he could use the fact that he dared to take the lead in suppressing the rebellion and made contributions to prove that he did not intend to plot rebellion, but it is certain that he accepted bribes and was greedy for money.
Therefore, after Wu Yuexiu was escorted to Beijing, and the evidence of his guilt was reported to the emperor by the Sanju Department, Zhu Yijun also ordered to recover his stolen money because of the solid evidence, and ordered him to be executed on the grounds that he was brave enough to deceive the emperor. For his anti-rebellion work, he was given a glass of poisoned wine instead, so as not to implicate the clan.
Because the evidence of Wu Yuexiu embezzling property and being bribed by rebellious ministers is solid, all the civil servants who spoke for him before chose to keep silent.
But no one intends to let them go because of their silence.
In the case of the Criminal Division, Liu Daolong directly impeached An Xifan, Yue Yuansheng, etc. without distinguishing right from wrong, and pleaded for Wu Yuexiu, a corrupt official and rebellious minister.
Followed by.
During the incident, Yang Tingxiang also followed up and said that Wu Yuexiu was actually the mastermind behind Wang Bihe's plot. It was Wu Yuexiu who instigated Wang Bihe to divorce the clan and persuade the King of Chu to rebel. The party, these people are all trying to plot rebellion, they are disloyal and unfilial, they should wipe out all the nine clans, and use it to rectify the government.
Later, Ma Yundeng, a member of the Ministry of Rituals, also followed suit, and made a move to point out the east and hit the west. He clearly impeached Jin Yiwei, knowing that there were rebels An Xifan and others who were still in the court, so he did not ask for an order to arrest him, but asked the emperor to rule Zhang Jingxiu The crime actually requires the emperor to deal with An Xifan and others as traitors.
"Then send these people to prison first!"
"It involves a major case of treason, so we must be cautious."
Zhu Yijun commented on this.
An Xifan, Gu Yuncheng and others panicked after hearing this.
"What to do, we have become rebellious ministers."
An Xifan couldn't help asking Yue Yuansheng.
Yue Yuan said: "How do we know that Wu Daohe is really corrupt!"
"I'll go to Zhang Jingxiu and ask him to intercede."
"He has always been quite polite to gentlemen."
Zhao Nanxing said at this time.
And not long after, Zhao Nanxing really came to stop Zhang Jingxiu first: "Ti Shuai really wants to treat me, Mr. Su, as against the party?"
"But they did plead for Wu Yuexiu."
Zhang Jingxiu replied.
Zhao Nanxing said anxiously: "But now it's not even decided whether Wu Yuexiu is against the party or not. Ti Shuai has always been a decent man, and he is a real gentleman. How can he also believe in the words of traitors, thinking that I, Mr. Su, are rebellious ministers, and not doing it for him?" The minister of Baochao Zhongzheng pleaded with His Majesty?"
Zhang Jingxiu said: "Thanks to the public, I am regarded as a gentleman, but since I am a gentleman, I should abide by my duty, how can I exceed my authority?"
"I am a close minister in Jinyi. If I speak for a minister of the foreign court and interfere with the prison, I am suspected of trespassing and forming a party; therefore, I cannot disobey orders at this time!"
"However, please rest assured, now they are only sent to jail and suspected of being rebels against the party, but it does not mean that they are also rebels against the party. Since you think I am a gentleman, you should believe that I will not be wronged A gentleman's."
Zhao Nanxing was speechless after hearing this, and just followed Zhang Jingxiu to the place where An Xifan and others gathered.
But as soon as Zhang Jingxiu came, he saw An Xifan, Yue Yuansheng and others sitting around a tea table collapsed on the table, their eyes were open, their pupils were dilated, and their faces were very painful.
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhao Nanxing looked at each other.
"How is this going?"
Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly asked Zhao Nanxing.
Zhao Nanxing said, "I don't know."
At that time, Zhang Maoxiu had already tasted the breath of several people, and came to Zhang Jingxiu and said: "They all passed away. It is estimated that the tea is poisonous, and they still have tea soup in their mouths."
After Zhang Jingxiu heard this, he immediately ordered: "Take control of all the people here!"
Zhang Jingxiu pointed at Zhao Nanxing as he spoke: "Including him! Maybe it was Zhao Mengbai who poisoned him!"
Zhao Nanxing was taken down by Jin Yiwei, but he was still in a state of astonishment and said nothing.
Not long after, Zhu Yijun learned about this situation from Zhang Jingxiu, and immediately got up and threw the chapter in his hand to the ground:
"It's really ruthless!"
"I haven't even said that I will execute them as rebels, but the accomplices behind them can't wait to silence them one by one. Do they not believe in their accomplices so much?!"
"Zhao Nanxing, who was with An Xifan and others, was spared, and I have already released him and taken him to the Imperial Prison."
"However, the poisoned tea boy had already died when we discovered it. Now these civil servants don't like to hang out at home for gatherings. They always like to change places, whether they go on a lake cruise or a lonely pavilion on the mountain. The people who use them often change. It is difficult for Jinyiwei informants to monitor them, and it is also difficult to protect them, so these tea boys are given an opportunity."
Zhang Jingxiu continued to speak at this time.
Zhu Yijun said: "Did he confess anything?"
"No."
"He won't say anything now."
Zhang Jingxiu replied.
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he ordered: "Then close it first, and interrogate him to see if he knows about it."
Zhang Jingxiu clapped his hands and said yes.
Zhu Yijun then put his hands on his hips and looked outside the hall.
At this time, dark clouds were covering the palace, as if a storm was coming, and the dark sky made it hard to figure out who was challenging the rules of the emperor behind the scenes.
"Could it be Gu Xiancheng who is staying at home?"
"Could this person be called an empty-talking Confucian scholar, but in fact secretly practice killing and decisiveness?"
Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking secretly.
But no matter what, the sudden sudden death of An Xifan and other civil servants who had spoken for Wu Yuexiu in Shangshu before made it impossible for Zhu Yijun to catch more of his comrades.
So much so, now on the surface, it seems that Wu Yuexiu's party is only Zhao Nanxing.
Zhu Yijun knew why the people behind the scene wanted to silence them. It was just because he was afraid that the emperor would be involved in copying, so he simply silenced these people first, so that the emperor really didn't know where to start.
It's just that these people neglected to kill Zhao Nanxing, which, I have to say, was a mistake.
But what these people didn't expect was that Zhu Yijun never set his sights on the court.
Therefore, after making some arrangements with Zhang Jingxiu, Zhu Yijun said to Sun Xin: "As soon as Zhang Jing and the others come to the new secret concert, report it to me immediately."
"Yes!"
