Zhu Youxiao only said at this time: "Well, Cai Yichen, I am still healthy, and you are planning to change the dynasty?"
Cai Yichen shook his head without tears: "I don't, I really don't!"
Then, Cai Yichen looked at Han Zanzhou: "Eunuch Han, why did you frame me? Why did you frame me?"
Han Zanzhou ignored Cai Yichen.
He only glanced at Zhu Youxiao.
Liu Hongxun and other assistant ministers did not stand up to speak for Cai Yichen, and they all looked at Han Zanzhou.
Naturally, they would not believe that Cai Yichen would rebel.
But they believed that what Wen Yuren impeached could not be done by a slave of Cai Yichen's family. Cai Yichen himself must be the mastermind behind it.
Moreover, they also knew that if the imperial government's policy of relocating large clans was to be carried out smoothly, the ministers who implemented these decrees must know that even if they wanted to use their own slaves to do these things, they would be implicated, which would make them useful. Afraid of.
After staying at the center of the imperial court for a long time, they had to admit that sometimes the imperial regulations and national laws could not punish all criminals.
Because no matter how strict the imperial regulations and national laws are, there will always be a limit, and we must pay attention to true evidence.
Therefore, clear rules often cannot achieve absolute justice.
And this requires some means.
There must be hidden rules.
"Prime Minister Wen, didn't you reassure me? You also said you reassured His Highness? Why did your brother impeach me!"
Cai Yichen then asked about Wen Tiren.
Zhu Youxiao also looked at Wen Tiren and asked, "Wen Aiqing, have you said this to him?"
Wen Tiren hurriedly denied it and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't. I have never said anything to reassure His Highness or reassure him."
"How could you not have said that?!"
"You couldn't have instigated all this!"
"Wen Wucheng, how could you do this! You and I are family friends after all! Fortunately, I always respect you as my brother!"
Cai Yichen asked questions like a barrage of questions.
"Since Wen Aiqing didn't say that, Cai Yichen, please stop making false accusations. You really disappoint me!"
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he ordered: "Drag him down, throw him into prison, interrogate and convict him!"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged, I really did not intend to rebel!"
Cabinet minister Cai Yichen continued to shout.
But no matter how much he shouted now, it would be of no avail.
Next, Cai Yichen will naturally be punished for treason.
Because if we only investigate the corruption problem that exists in the relocation of the big clan, he, a great bachelor, will not be implicated.
Just like many major cases in history are major rebellion cases.
Are there really so many people so stubborn that they want to rebel?
It is not possible to deal with some old and cunning people without committing a rebellion.
How could Zhu Youxiao not know whether Cai Yichen had the courage to rebel?
Will these captured ministers be stupid enough to conspire with Cai Yichen?
But now he can only achieve many political goals through rebellion, such as eliminating speculators and those seeking personal gain.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao allowed Han Zanzhou to do this.
The seventh prince Zhu Cikai was also very worried after hearing that Wen Yuren had impeached Yan Maocai and Cai Yichen.
This surprised him. What was surprising was that Wen Yuren would do this.
"Why is this happening! Aren't Mr. Cai Ge and Wen Wucheng a family friend, and they belong to the same party in the court? Why did Wen Wucheng's brother impeach him and not give me face?!"
The seventh prince said to Chen Wei.
Chen Wei replied: "His Royal Highness has always been making friends with courtiers under the banner of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor. By doing this, Wen Yuren not only does not take you seriously, but also does not take the eldest son of the Emperor seriously! I also want to I don’t understand. As long as he, Wen Yuren, is a sensible person, even if he does not support the eldest son of the emperor or your highness to inherit the throne in the future, he should not be offended, but bring trouble to his family! Now that I think about it, there are only two possibilities. "
"What two possibilities?"
"One is that he is an upright and lonely official who only wants to do things for the court and is upright!"
"One is that he has been bribed by other princes!"
"What kind of person do you think he will be?"
"No matter what kind of person he is, Your Highness, you can't do anything to him now. After all, he is the younger brother of Duke Wen! Those who can become assistant ministers are His Majesty's most trusted ministers and cannot be offended!"
"You mean, I can only bear this tone?"
"Yes! Fortunately, Wen Yuren also knows what's appropriate and didn't impeach you directly."
…
"You did a good job this time. You actually found people like Cai Yichen and Yan Maocai before Dongchang. There is no doubt that His Majesty will value your abilities!"
Wen Tiren was in a good mood and talked to Wen Yuren who came to Beijing to report on his work.
"It's all because of your instructions, brother!"
Wen Yuren replied.
"Master, the imperial edict has arrived. I want you to go out and receive it!"
Not long after Wen Yuren finished speaking, Wen's servant quickly ran outside the study where Wen Tiren and Wen Yuren were talking and said something.
After hearing this, Wen Yuren hurriedly picked up the black gauze hat and ran outside. As he walked, he ran to the incense table that had been set up to wait.
"Edict: Wen Yuren, the governor of Jiangnan, the censor of Zuoqiandu, is prudent in politics, loyal and outspoken, and quite resourceful. I am honored to be named the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
Because it's just a promotion to a fourth-grade official.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not use an imperial edict, but issued an edict.
But Wen Yuren was naturally excited after hearing this. He knew that his brother had really guessed the emperor's thoughts correctly, giving him a chance to be promoted quickly.
"Continue the impeachment! Take advantage of the opportunity in Beijing to keep an eye on the courtiers who are coming and going around the seventh prince!"
Wen Tiren therefore said after Wen Yuren received the imperial edict.
Wen Yuren also nodded solemnly: "Brother, don't worry! If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. I plan to visit the seventh prince in person, pretending to be close, but in fact waiting for the opportunity to create another major case! And I can get ahead of Dongchang!"
"Great! Just do it!"
Wen Tiren nodded and said, "It would be great if you could find Yuan Fu's clues!"
Wen Yuren was stunned after hearing this: "I understand!"
…
"Nowadays, courtiers keep their interactions in private, and do not let domestic slaves or maids get close to them when discussing matters, so it is impossible to know what they are talking about. The same goes for local officials. It does not rule out that Dongchang's people in the local area have contact with them. The local officials are colluding with the traitors, so this time Dongchang is one step slower than Minister Wen!"
Han Zanzhou is explaining to Zhu Youxiao the reason why Dongchang did not discover the matter before Wen Yuren impeached Cai Yichen.
"I know! That's why I promoted him to Wen Yuren's official position. This is to encourage the courtiers to take the initiative to report. But your Dongchang can't take it lightly because of this. At least you can find out for me which ministers are talking to the prince. Come on, especially when dealing with my dishonest seventh prince. When the time comes, if other officials impeach these ministers, I can be sure that these ministers are really doing something illegal and not because of party disputes. !”
Zhu Youxiao replied accordingly.
"My slave understands!"
"But Dongchang recently discovered that after Wen Yuren was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he suddenly visited the seventh prince!"
Han Zanzhou replied.
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a while after hearing this: "What does he want to do?"
