Now, it is the eve of the decisive battle between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing. No matter what the final result is, the political situation of the court will undergo certain changes. It is the most sensitive time, so almost everyone has sleepless nights this night.
In the Humble Administrator's Garden, in Emperor Deqing's study.
On Emperor Deqing's desk, there were dense piles of memorials, all of which were memorials to impeach Zhou Shangjing!
Sitting behind the desk, Emperor Deqing kept flipping through the excerpts, looking serious and slightly serious.
Like Zhao Junchen's staff, Emperor Deqing did not think Zhou Shangjing would be captured so easily.
The plan has gone so smoothly so far. Zhou Shangjing jumped into the trap obediently. All the back-ups prepared by Emperor Deqing were useless. Such an abnormal situation made Emperor Deqing feel doubtful. Heavy.
In the past few days, Emperor Deqing has been full of detectives. Whether it is Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, or Xichang, they were all sent out by Emperor Deqing to inquire about Zhou Shangjing's actions and find out Zhou Shangjing's plan.
However, until now, Emperor Deqing still has not found any clues, as if Zhou Shangjing had accepted his fate and did not resist.
But the more this happened, the more uncertain Emperor Deqing felt.
Shaking his head, Emperor Deqing shook off the doubts in his heart. As a Ninth Five Emperor, he hated this feeling of lack of confidence.
"Now that the momentum has been built, most of the officials in the court are on my side, and Zhou Shangjing's various crimes have been proven irrefutable. No matter how you look at it, Zhou Shangjing's situation is already a dead end! Hum! ! But I don’t believe that Zhou Shangjing can still have the means to make a comeback!"
Thinking like this, Emperor Deqing's mood finally stabilized a lot, and then he focused all his attention on the impeachment memorials in front of him, hoping that he could find some flaws in Zhou Shangjing from these memorials.
In the end, Emperor Deqing was not disappointed and did discover some useful information!
In more than a hundred impeachment papers. The thickest one is Zhao Junchen's memorial, and this memorial is different from other impeachment memorials in that it is very detailed. It lists in detail the details of the Japanese pirate rebellion in Suzhou last year, and the instructions of Zhou Suhai, the prefect of Suzhou, under the instructions of Assistant Zhou Shangjing. All kinds of evidence to cover up the matter. Not only is it clearly organized, but there is also a lot of circumstantial evidence.
If Zhou Shangjing originally had any hope of escaping from the Japanese pirate rebellion, then after Zhao Junchen's evidence is presented, it is completely impossible for Zhou Shangjing to escape from the incident, no matter what. Zhou Shangjing is already guilty of shielding Zhou Suhai and covering up the Japanese pirate rebellion!
In addition, the officials involved in Zhao Junchen's memorial were not just Zhou Shangjing! All Zhou Party officials who helped Zhou Shangjing cover up the Japanese pirate rebellion in Suzhou are also listed in detail. What exactly these Zhou Party officials did and what crimes they committed are also listed in the list!
It can be said that after Zhao Junchen's memorial, not only did Zhou Shangjing have irrefutable evidence and his chances of winning became even lower, but Emperor Deqing also uprooted the Zhou party faction afterwards. It will also be much easier.
Therefore, after reading Zhao Junchen's memorial in detail, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but slap the table and shouted "good" three times in a row!
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Zhao Junchen did not disappoint me. He actually found so much ironclad evidence in time! When I handed Xichang to Zhao Junchen, I was indeed right! At such a critical moment, Xichang His ability to do things is actually better than that of Dongchang and Jinyiwei! Even Dongchang and Jinyiwei may not be able to collect such detailed evidence! Huh! I want to see, after having these ironclad evidences, what can you, Zhou Shangjing, do? How can you make a comeback!"
While talking. Emperor Deqing's expression became much happier, no longer as calm as before, and the doubts surrounding his heart suddenly dissipated a lot!
…
at the same time. Zhou Shangjing is also making arrangements intensively.
After arriving in Suzhou, because Zhou Suhai, the prefect of Suzhou, was Zhou Shangjing's eldest grandson, Zhou Shangjing moved to Zhou Suhai's mansion temporarily.
At this time, in Zhou Shangjing's temporary study, Zhou Shangjing also had a serious expression on his old face.
In front of him, all the important officials of the Zhou Party gathered together. Sitting on both sides, waiting for Zhou Shangjing's instructions.
However, Zhou Shangjing did not speak, he just drank tea quietly, as if waiting for something.
From time to time, someone will open the door and enter the study, quickly come to Zhou Shangjing, and then hand Zhou Shangjing a small note. After reading these notes, Zhou Shangjing either nodded or shook his head, but still did not speak. Speak, just wave these people away.
All Zhou Shangjing officials were waiting for Zhou Shangjing to express his position, and they couldn't help but look a little anxious. After all, if he lost this game, not only Zhou Shangjing would be convicted, but the entire Zhou Party faction would be uprooted by Emperor Deqing. However, Zhou Shangjing remained calm. Rushan, there has been no expression for a long time.
Soon, it was already midnight, and Zhou Shangjing's expression also became a little tired, but he was still very calm and waited unhurriedly while sipping tea.
Just when some Zhou Party officials couldn't help but ask questions, suddenly, another person pushed the door open and entered the study.
This person's name is Zhou Lu. On the surface, he is just an ordinary steward in Zhou's mansion. But in fact, this person secretly controls the intelligence network in Zhou Shangjing's hands. He is one of Zhou Shangjing's most loyal confidants. Even some important Zhou Party officials I never dare to underestimate this person.
After Zhou Lu entered the study, she also quickly came to Zhou Shangjing, but she did not hand Zhou Shangjing a small note like those before. Instead, she stood in front of Zhou Shangjing and quietly waited for Zhou Shangjing to finish drinking. Tea on the table.
After seeing Zhou Lu appear, Zhou Shangjing's hand holding the tea gently paused inconspicuously, and a glimmer of light flashed through his seemingly dim eyes!
But then, Zhou Shangjing took a sip of tea with a calm expression, and then asked: "How is the situation?...Does that person agree to the conditions I proposed?"
Zhou Lu said slowly: "Replying to the master, that person has agreed to the conditions you proposed! And said that by tomorrow, he will stand firmly on your side and act according to your plan! "
After hearing Zhou Lu's answer, Zhou Shangjing's originally serious face suddenly flashed a smile: "In that case, I won the bet! Although your Majesty's plan is powerful, if you get the help of this person, then I will There may not be any chance of a comeback!”
After saying that, Zhou Shangjing stood up suddenly, looked around at the Zhou Party officials in front of him, and said, "Are you all impatient? Don't worry, I won't let you wait in vain! Now, I will explain to you in detail, What exactly is your mission tomorrow!"
