Liu Mingzhi took the trouble to tell Ren Wenyue, He Zhang and others about the embezzlement of silver to repair the imperial tomb.
As for the little shrimps who rely on them, Liu Mingzhi is not worried at all. As long as the main culprit is dealt with, and a large number of them will be caught, the day will come when Chao Gang will be eliminated.
After listening to Liu Mingzhi's words, Li Ye grasped the dragon head on the dragon chair tightly with his palms. His joints were already a little white, and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
However, Liu Mingzhi not only saw the anger in Li Ye's eyes, but also the helplessness and fear mixed in the anger, and sighed silently.
Although I don't know what kind of torture the Gu worms in Li Ye's body have brought to Li Ye, Li Ye's reaction is enough to show that Li Ye has been tortured to a certain extent by the Gu worms.
Li Ye glanced at Queen Ren Qingrui, who was standing under the dragon platform and twisting her slender jade fingers, and looked around at the civil and military officials in the palace.
"King Bingjian, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Ren Aiqing has solved a lot of troubles for me since he entered the court. Half of the ministers in the court have great praise for Ren Aiqing."
"He has never slacked off on the things I entrusted to him. Although the completion cannot be said to be perfect, it is enough to make me very happy."
"After the imperial mausoleum was completed, I went to see it once. No matter the materials or workmanship, there was no problem at all. I also praised the ministers who participated in the repair of the imperial mausoleum in front of the civil and military officials of the court."
"But you said that you found evidence of their corruption and bending the law from the accounts. Is there something wrong in this that caused errors in the accounts?"
"Based on my understanding of Ren Aiqing, he should not commit acts of corruption and perversion of the law."
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, there was an uproar in the palace. Many officials looked at Li Ye sitting on the dragon chair and started talking quietly.
Although the case of Ren Wenyue and others for embezzlement and perversion of law was officially closed without going through the joint trial of the three divisions, the way they confessed and begged for mercy just now in the palace and defended themselves to death is enough to show that the loopholes in the accounts discovered by King Bingjian are most likely true. .
As long as a detailed piece of evidence is compiled, Ren Guozhang and the others will be unable to argue.
After all, in the face of conclusive evidence, saying anything is futile.
Embezzling other people's money is already a heinous act, let alone embezzling the money used to repair the imperial tombs of two generations of late emperors.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the crime cannot be punished.
But the meaning behind His Majesty's words was clearly to absolve Mr. Ren and the others of their crimes.
For a time, there was no room for the civil and military officials in the dynasty to have different ideas, and there was a lot of discussion.
Many veterans in the court pondered for a moment, looked at Li Ye sitting on the dragon throne, and then looked at the queen Ren Qingrui standing under the dragon platform. They thought for a while and shook their heads with a sad expression.
For the sake of the Queen, would Your Majesty...
Many veterans sighed silently and looked at Liu Mingzhi. Now they could only place their hopes on King Bingjian.
Ren Guozhang relied on his daughter's favor to become more and more powerful in the court. Now the only person who can completely suppress him is King Bingjian, who has been favored by two generations of previous emperors.
It's not that these veterans are unwilling to put their hopes in others.
But now, even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager can't stop Ren Wenyue's rising power. Who else can he rely on besides the king?
"Your Majesty is holy."
"Since my concubine's father entered the court, he has been doing his best to handle court affairs for His Majesty. He has never dared to neglect his duties or slack off even a little bit."
"Now after King Bingjian entered the capital, he indiscriminately escorted my concubine's father and a group of important officials to the Zhao Prison to await trial by the Three Laws Division just because of some discrepancies in the accounts of repairing the imperial mausoleum."
"I begged my father for mercy. King Bingjian did not leave any dignity to me, and even threatened to deprive me of my throne."
"Your Majesty, King Bingjian seems to be rude to my concubine, but in fact he is rude to His Majesty."
"It is his right as the assistant minister who controls the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to deal with my father and those important ministers who are loyal to the imperial court."
"My concubine's father is not only a householder personally granted by His Majesty...but also the Minister of Household Affairs, he is also the abbot of the current dynasty."
"It is the right of the assistant minister to deal with the affairs of the household department. It is the right of King Bingjian to deal with the head of the dynasty, and he has no right to do it at will!"
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for my concubines and my father."
"My father has solved so many troubles in the court for Your Majesty. Why did King Bingjian become a corrupt official as soon as he returned to the capital?"
"Your Majesty, King Bingjian is a bit too domineering. I think he doesn't take you as the emperor seriously at all."
"Isn't it possible that the King of One Side, who oversees all military and political affairs of the 27 prefectures and 152 states of Northern Xinjiang, is not your Majesty's minister?"
"As a subject, I actually threaten and intimidate my concubine, the queen. How can I help you in running the harem in the future if you ask me to do so?"
"What's the difference between despising my concubine and despising your majesty?"
"You have to make the decision for me!"
There was a brief moment of calm in the palace because of Li Ye's words. Ren Qingrui, who was standing under the dragon platform, suddenly looked at Li Ye and redressed his grievances with soft and charming words, reciting the evil deeds that Young Master Liu had just done to him in the court. '.
Although Ren Qingrui's voice is crisp, delicate, charming, and as sweet as an oriole.
However, when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty listened to the words Ren Qingrui just said, they could not feel the slightest pleasantness. Instead, they felt chills running down their spines.
Those words seemed to accuse Young Master Liu of his previous domineering behavior in the court, but in fact they were all heart-breaking words.
It can be said that every word has thorns, and there are needles hidden in the cotton.
The meaning of the words was as close to saying that Liu Dashao had a disobedient heart in front of everyone.
Tong Sansi, Xia Gongming, Song Yu, Du Chenghao, Qin Ziying... more than twenty of these veterans from the Li Zheng period clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and stared at Ren Qingrui with trembling arms. The beautiful figure wanted to strangle this human beauty who looked like a fairy to death right away in the palace.
Demon Queen, what are you worried about?
Aren't these words clearly forcing His Majesty to alienate the King and his ministers?
Have you forgotten what happened in the palace just now?
The tiger talisman is still in the hand of King Bingjian. The twenty-three generals of the middle army only listened to the words of the tiger talisman. Are you deaf and did not hear it in your ears?
Don’t you know what it means to have two hundred thousand elite iron cavalry in hand that have experienced hundreds of battles and can be conquered?
Once Your Majesty listens to your slander, what kind of unfair behavior will you do to King Bingjian?
This is how Zai chilled King Bingjian's heart, and this was how Zaijun forced his ministers to rebel.
The Demon Queen, disrupting our court order and forcing loyal ministers to rebel, is tantamount to destroying our country, the country of Dalong.
You must die a good death! You must die a good death!
Some important ministers were trembling with anger as they stared at Ren Qingrui's beautiful figure. They had the same thought in their minds and stared closely at Li Ye who was sitting on the dragon chair. The anxiety in their eyes was self-evident.
I kept praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect your majesty and never listen to the demon queen's slanderous words to force the king to rebel.
Otherwise, Dalong may face a turbulent civil strife that is far more terrifying than King Shu and others!
