Because Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to the news about Donglu, Wei Zhongxian and other factory guards are now very familiar with Donglu's situation.
Wei Zhongxian naturally knew that Huang Taiji was the most famous and powerful among the Donglu Baylors.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, who was accustomed to being insidious, got smart and took advantage of this opportunity to lie to Dege Lei and said that it was Huang Taiji who betrayed the information to the Ming court.
However, although Degelei is Mang Gurtai's half-brother, he has always admired Huang Taiji. In history, he was also one of the Baylors who most actively supported Huang Taiji's succession to the post-Golden Khan throne.
Therefore, when Degelei heard from Jin Yiwei who was in charge of translating that Wei Zhongxian said it was Sibeile, he immediately said: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After hearing what Jin Yiwei translated, Wei Zhongxian continued to smile and said: "You are already about to die, so what's the point of our family lying to you? It is indeed Huang Taiji! This man has already secretly communicated with us in letters, saying that he intends to submit to the imperial court. "
"That's right! Huang Taiji informed us a lot about you rebels, mainly through your brother-in-law Li Yongfang. If I'm not mistaken, you Li's brother-in-law and your Sibeile are the closest. ,right?"
Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other and smiled, and then they also started talking.
"Nonsense! This is impossible!"
Yue Tuo, who also admired Huang Taiji very much, also shouted loudly and excitedly.
At this time, Degelei asked directly: "It should be the news of Mang Gurtai's betrayal by Third Beile. He and Fourth Beile are at odds. He has always been jealous that Fourth Beile is more valued by the Great Khan. Is it Mang Gurtai?"
"Yes or no?!"
Dege asked excitedly and loudly.
"No! This is the first time our family has heard of who Mang Gurtai is."
Wei Zhongxian replied.
"This is the first time I have heard of it. Derge Lei and Yue Tuo, you should tell us now who are the Han people who colluded with you to murder the emperor."
Tian Ergen also said something and continued to ask these two people.
Dege said coldly: "You are not telling the truth!"
"Of course what we are telling is the truth! Since you are unwilling to confess, then we can only use torture!"
Wei Zhongxian said and ordered: "Continue to torture!"
"yes!"
As a result, Dege Lei and Yue Tuo were played the pipa again.
Dege Lei and Yue Tuo screamed again.
"I said, I said, it was Jin Maoji and Tieling Commander-in-Chief Jin Guan. They let us enter Liaodong and enter the pass!"
Dege finally couldn't bear it and confessed.
"What's the matter with Jin Maoji?"
When Zhu Youxiao found out, he immediately lost his temper and told Wei Zhongxian: "Immediately arrest this person as a member of his clan, be sure to interrogate him strictly, and be careful to prevent him from transferring his property!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied.
At this moment, Liu Ruoyu suddenly ran in and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good! There is a fire in the Huangji Palace!"
"What! There's a fire in Huangji Palace?"
Zhu Youxiao stood up immediately after hearing this and asked: "What's going on? Why did it suddenly catch on fire?!"
Liu Ruoyu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "This slave deserves to die! It was my fault! Please punish me!"
Zhu Youxiao snorted and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Have you sent someone to put out the fire?"
Liu Ruoyu said: "People have been arranged to rescue him!"
Zhu Youxiao looked outside and saw that there was still a fire outside, and he felt a little irritated and uneasy. What made him irritated was that the Huangji Hall, also known as the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Qing Dynasty, had just been repaired not long ago, and it was still there. It cost a lot of money, and now if it is rebuilt, it will undoubtedly cost a lot more money. What makes him uneasy is that there is another fire in this palace. He really doesn't know if his Qianqing Palace will suddenly have a fire. .
This made Zhu Youxiao even more eager to move to his "Da Ming Yuan", because his "Da Ming Yuan" had many secret rooms and basements where he could hide according to his requirements, and even many palaces with the same scenery. And many of them are stone garden buildings, which are more convenient for hiding or fire protection.
"There was a fire in the Huangji Palace. Did the inner factory really not find any clues in advance?"
Zhu Youxiao continued to ask Liu Ruoyu.
Liu Ruoyu hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to deceive the emperor. The inner factory has not found any suspicious signs before. However, according to the analysis of the slave, if it is really man-made, it is probably the fire set by the new eunuch who entered the palace, because the Qianqing Palace The servants in the two palaces of He and Kunning, as well as the ceremonial supervisor, the inner study hall, and the royal horse supervisor did not dare to be careless. They were all old people in the palace who had been investigated by the inner factory and had a clean background. The new ones who entered the palace were basically The sweeps were arranged in the Huangji Hall, Zhongji Hall (Zhonghe Hall), Jianji Hall (Baohe Hall), and Zhongji Hall in the previous dynasties. Therefore, if it is really man-made, it means that these new servants who entered the palace are not reliable. .”
"Get up, you are right to do this. These new arrivals who have not yet been investigated clearly cannot be directly arranged to enter the inner court! They can only be arranged in the previous dynasty. Next, your inner court must strictly investigate!"
Zhu Youxiao said something.
"My slave, thank you for not killing me!"
Liu Ruoyu replied as if he was being pardoned.
At this time, Wang Chengen came over: "The fire is out!"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "That's good! Everyone, please step aside."
Then, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said: "If this fire is really man-made, then the purpose of the people behind the scenes must be to scare me, saying that what I do is God's fault, so God sent fire to me." The main hall of the Imperial Palace! I'm afraid I'll be asked to write some kind of edict to punish myself!"
…
"I just want him to punish himself! It's so hateful that ever since this tyrant had people install lightning rods in various halls of the Forbidden City, there have been no more lightning strikes in the Forbidden City, making it impossible to find him, Zhu Youxiao, to blame. The reason why God is so angry is that now we have no choice but to use this method to let the people we placed in the inner court set fire to in the Huangji Palace. But it is a pity that the people we placed cannot enter the Qianqing Palace now. If you want to enter the Qianqing Palace, you have to Be strictly screened, otherwise the tyrant will be burned to death directly!"
Ding Qirui gritted his teeth and said.
Jin Maoji nodded: "It's only a matter of time before my foolish brother is found out. Naturally, he can't escape. Instead of sitting here waiting for death, it's better to take this opportunity and take the initiative to learn from Hai Rui's criticism of Dragon Scales and scold Zhu Youxiao for his perverse behavior. He abolished the New Deal! He issued an edict to punish himself! He still left a good reputation."
Therefore, Ding Qirui couldn't help but said to Jin Maoji: "Brother, you are indeed the Lord of the Sea! Ding admires him! But please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. Ding decided to flee back to the south first and form a righteous army!"
Naturally, Ding Qirui would not expect that Jin Maoji would be able to withstand the torture of Dongchang without recruiting him after being captured by Dongchang, so he was ready to escape from here.
Jin Maoji laughed bitterly because of this: "It's a pity that foolish brother can't go south with his brother to recruit volunteers!"
After saying that, Jin Maoji started writing the memorial.
Not long after, Jin Maoji came to Zuoshunmen with the memorial.
Then, Jin Maoji knelt down, held up the memorial, and shouted loudly: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have been mean and unkind, perverse, and favored traitors. You have slaughtered hundreds of officials, competed with the people for profit, brutalized the gentry, and persecuted the clan. My dear, I caused the concubine to die miserably! I also built a lot of construction projects and allowed the warriors to take over the power. Therefore, the sky was very angry and sent down a fire to burn down the palace. I was planning for the country and your majesty's safety, so I had to learn from the integrity of Hai Gong and risk my life to advance. Remonstrance, please Your Majesty to save yourself, issue edicts for your crimes, and abolish tyranny in order to bring peace to the world!"
With that said, Jin Maoji shouted again: "Your Majesty! Please don't be called a tyrant!"
