"What evidence do you have?"
Zhan Hui was immediately shocked by Han Du's words. He obviously had the evidence and wanted to sue Lan Yu. Why did Han Du say that he also had evidence now? Could it be that instead of helping Lan Yu out of trouble, he would use some evidence to add insult to injury?
Han Du glanced at Zhan Hui with a smile, bowed to Lao Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, I have evidence."
When he said this, Han Du straightened up and glanced at Zhan Hui from the corner of his eye, "The so-called story that the general bullied Concubine Yuan on his way back to the court is actually the imagination of Xiaoxiao scholars and is pure nonsense.
Your Majesty, please take a closer look. "
"You!" Zhan Hui was about to explode with anger when he heard it.
He raised his finger and pointed at Han Du's nose, and asked sternly: "Marquis Zhenhai, in this Jinluan Palace, in front of the Gong Gongs, you actually dare to cover up Lan Yu with your false words. You will be punished."
After that, Zhan Hui stopped arguing with Han Du and went directly to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, I have evidence to prove that Lan Yu bullied Concubine Yuan, causing Concubine Yuan to commit suicide in shame and anger..."
Before Zhan Hui could finish speaking, Han Du took a step forward and bowed down as well, "Your Majesty, Tuogu Si Timur is outside the palace. If he is right or wrong, just call him in and ask him to find out. After all, it is about him. Concubine, he can’t even know about his concubine, right?”
Zhan Hui suddenly looked back at Han Du, although he couldn't hear anything wrong with Han Du's proposal. But for some reason, he felt a little panicked and felt that something had changed.
Han Du's proposal was well-founded, and Lao Zhu naturally had no reason to disagree.
"allow!"
After receiving Lao Zhu's approval, the old eunuch immediately stood up and shouted: "It is said that Tuogu Si Timur has come to see him~"
Togu Si Timur strode in, his tall body bowed respectfully to Lao Zhu, "To Gu Si Timur, pay your respects to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Lao Zhu couldn't help but smile when he saw Togu Si Timur's face. Whenever Lao Zhu thought that this was the Emperor of Beiyuan, he had no reason to be unhappy.
"Someone sued Lan Yu, saying that he insulted your concubine on his way back to the court, causing your concubine to commit suicide. I wonder if this is true?"
Hearing this, a hint of exposure suddenly flashed in Togu Si Timur's eyes, and his eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes. However, his expression immediately returned to calmness. Everything was as usual, and no one could tell that he had done anything wrong. Strange.
Putting his fist on his chest, Tuogu Si Timur bowed to Lao Zhu and said: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, this is what I heard from hearsay. Tuo Gusi Timur's concubines are intact and are all alive in the world. It is impossible for this to happen. Such a thing."
Only the living ones are my concubines, not the dead ones!
Togu Si Timur was suppressing great pain in his heart, but in order to survive, he had to pretend to be nonchalant.
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar. The entire Fengtian Hall was filled with the whispers of officials. Even Lao Zhu did not expect that he would say such words.
Zhan Hui felt as if he heard a thunderbolt from the blue, and his eyes were so shocked that there were stars. He stepped forward in disbelief, without even giving up the magnanimity of a scholar. He pulled Tuogu Si Timur's robe and asked: "You, you are talking nonsense... Your concubine is called Concubine Da Ding." ? How did she die? Don’t you know? You can even endure such a shame and humiliation?
,Are you still human? Are you still a man? "
The sorrow in Togu Si Timur's eyes flashed away. His favorite concubine died so tragically, and he was naturally deeply pained. But Han Du was right. He was no longer the Emperor of Bei Yuan. To Ming Dynasty, he was like fish on the chopping board. You could cut him how you wanted.
For his own life, and for the lives of all his concubines and children, he had no choice but to endure the pain. If he doesn't agree to Han Du on this matter, then he won't even have a single person to say a good word for him in the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, he will really follow in Li Yu's footsteps. Not to mention one concubine, all his concubines cannot be saved.
Taking a deep breath secretly, Togu Si Timur looked as usual, bowed respectfully to Lao Zhu and said: "Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, I have no idea what he is talking about. Why can't I understand his words?"
As he said that, he looked sideways at Zhan Hui and said, pretending not to know, "The Da Ding you mentioned was indeed once my concubine."
Seeing Tuogu Si Timur's admission, Zhan Hui's face suddenly lit up with joy, but before he could say anything, Tuo Gu Si Timur's next words shattered his heart to the bottom.
"But my Concubine Da Ding died of illness a year ago. Therefore, it is impossible for her to be humiliated by the general, let alone commit suicide. Will a dead person commit suicide?"
After Tuugusi Timur finished speaking, he took a step back and stood aside, never looking at Zhan Hui again. What he should do and say has been said and done, and then he will just wait for the development of the situation.
Zhan Hui's expression suddenly changed, he pointed angrily at Togu Si Timur, and shouted unwillingly: "You are talking nonsense, nonsense..."
He was pushed to the right in despair. When the officials next to him saw Zhan Hui, he was about to fall down. Several officials quickly took action to support him.
Zhan Hui came back to his senses, struggled to stand up, took two steps forward and said to Lao Zhu: "This is not true, this is not true. You, you must be in collusion with Han Du... Your Majesty, I have evidence, please wait for me..."
"Master Zhan!" Seeing that Zhan Hui kept saying that he had evidence and would show it, Han Du immediately stood up and shouted.
Zhan Hui was in a daze and looked back at Han Du blankly.
Han Du chuckled lightly and said, "The so-called evidence by Mr. Zhan is not just hearsay, is it? Concubine Da Ding died of illness a year ago, and now you are slandering the general. What are your intentions?"
Baimeng book
"Han Du! You are so slanderous!" Zhan Hui's eyes widened and he roared angrily at Han Du.
Pointing at Han Du with trembling fingers, he panted and said, "It's you, it must be you. It was you who forced him to say that."
"You don't know whether your own concubine is dead or alive? Do you, Master Zhan, know better than others? Who are you?" Han Du glanced at Zhan Hui contemptuously.
Turning around and ignoring him, he said directly to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, the matter is already very clear. Concubine Da Ding passed away a year ago, and it is impossible for the general to have seen her. The so-called insult, but It's someone's slander with ulterior motives.
When the general made great contributions to the court, there was actually a conspiracy to slander the general. Such a person with ulterior motives is actually hiding in the court hall. I sincerely ask the emperor to find out everything and clear the general's name. "
"And severely punish these people with ulterior motives and clean them out." After Han Du finished speaking, he glanced at Zhan Hui. It was obvious who he meant.
Zhan Wei was so angry that he opened his mouth to bring out the evidence. But he opened his mouth and closed it silently.
Is it still useful to present the evidence he relies on at this time? His so-called evidence only proved that Lan Yu had indeed insulted Concubine Da Ding.
But now Togu Si Timur has directly said that Concubine Da Ding died a year ago. Then wouldn’t his evidence become a joke? Even if everyone knows that the evidence in his hand is true, no one will agree with the evidence in his hand.
Because in this matter, Togu Si Timur had much greater say than Zhan Hui. Since Togu Si Timur said that Concubine Da Ding had died of illness a year ago, even if it was false, no one would stand up and question it.
In this matter, Concubine Dading's life or death could be determined by Tuogu Si Timur's word. If he says she is alive, she is alive; if he says she is dead, she is dead.
Han Du lowered his hands and held them in front of him, looking at Zhan Hui lightly.
In the perception of ordinary officials, court disputes are about whoever has evidence, who has a right point, and who can speak eloquently will win.
But now Han Du told them that the real argument is: If I can get you to show evidence, I will lose!
You still want to win by citing scriptures and being eloquent. Are you daydreaming?
Han Du's coquettish operation shocked the officials and stunned them. Even Lao Zhu did not expect that Han Du would persuade Tuogu Si Timur to directly tell Concubine Da Ding that she had died of illness a year ago.
Remove the fuel from the cauldron and kill with one strike!
Zhan Hui had no power to fight back against Han Du. As time passed, the furious Zhan Hui slowly calmed down. Reluctantly avoiding Han Du's gaze, not daring to look at him who was so victorious.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Lao Zhu made a final judgment, "Lanyu's insult to Concubine Da Ding is a myth. However, there is conclusive evidence that Lan Yu's troops broke through the border. However, Lan Yu's achievements in the Northern Expedition were great. How to punish him? I still have to think hard about how to award the reward.
Retreat! "
Although Lao Zhu denied Zhan Hui's impeachment, he did not punish him. Because everyone knows that Lan Yu's insult to Yuan Fei is an ironclad fact, but Han Du overturned it and forcibly resolved it.
Hearing this, Togu Si Timur sighed in his heart, raised his head and looked towards Han Du.
Han Du gave him a determined look.
When Togu Si Timur saw it, he immediately lowered his head again and left with the crowd.
When Zhan Hui saw Han Du walking out of the hall, he rushed forward unwillingly and stopped Han Du.
"Master Zhan, what do you mean by this?" Han Du didn't have any good feelings toward Zhan Hui, and his tone was filled with indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away.
"Han Du, don't be proud. You are destroying the foundation of Ming Dynasty. Do you know?" Zhan Hui's angry chest rose and fell one after another.
Han Du sneered when he heard this, "The foundation of Ming Dynasty? What is the foundation of Ming Dynasty, you? It's just a joke."
No matter how courageous Zhan Hui was, he would not dare to say that he was the foundation of Ming Dynasty. But in his understanding, scholars like him, who are the emperor's herdsmen, are naturally the pillars and pillars of the Ming Dynasty.
