Chapter 708: Prison(1/2)

Li Yi was standing aside and listening quietly, when he suddenly heard the word Momen, he immediately said: "May I ask Mr. He, just now you said that these people have become Momen by themselves?"

He Yaowen smiled coldly and said: "Indeed, they call themselves the Momen, and they are led by an old man in sackcloth, and there are also women involved."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember: "The woman leading the charge is quite interesting. Her name is Chen Hongyan. Mr. Li should also know her."

Hearing the words "Chen Hongyan", Li Yi suddenly understood that the "traitors" caught by Yang He turned out to be the children of Momen.

You must know that after the Battle of Dalinghe City, Juzi led the Momen disciples to the northwest to rescue the victims and organize immigration.

Unexpectedly, only half a year had passed and they would be involved in such an incident.

Li Yi couldn't help but feel confused. You must know that rebellion is a serious crime of beheading. If this matter is true, Momen and others will face great disaster.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne and turned his head to look at Li Yi.

He also remembered, isn't Chen Hongyan Li Yi's confidante? When did she actually join the rebels?

This incident was so unexpected that not only Li Yi was confused, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

He thought for a moment and said, "Where are these criminals now?"

The word "traitor" was swallowed up in his stomach, but Yuan Chonghuan still chose to call him the criminal.

He Yaowen looked at Li Yi coldly, feeling happy in his heart.

When Li Yi's cousin Wang Jin secretly reported the case, his family was ruined. Not only did his elderly father die tragically in prison, but his two younger brothers also became fugitives and fled to sea. He hoped day and night that he would be repaid for this bloody feud.

After calming down, He Yaowen said: "These traitors are still in Xi'an City."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Pass the order and ask Yang He to escort the criminal to the capital for interrogation."

He Yaowen bowed and said: "I obey your order."

Then he glanced at Li Yi and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

Li Yi suddenly turned to look at He Yaowen, and he understood that He Yaowen would not give up easily.

Emperor Chongzhen also felt doubly stressed.

Li Yi was his most valued minister, and he did not believe that Li Yi, who was a fourth-rank official in the dynasty and had control of Anxin's huge wealth, would attempt to commit rebellion.

There must be something fishy about this matter.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and said: "Say."

He Yaowen held up the memorial high and said loudly: "I impeach Li Yi, the censor of Qiandu, for colluding with the traitor Chen Hongyan, funding the traitor, and attempting to rebel."

Rebellion is a serious crime. Li Yi did not expect that He Yaowen would be so ruthless and would kill himself at the first sign.

Li Yi left the office and bowed and said: "To inform the emperor, there is no real evidence for this matter. He Yaowen, the minister of war, framed the minister. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly."

At this time, Wang Yongguang came out and said: "I have sent this to your Majesty. I also have this memorial."

Emperor Chongzhen felt confused and could only say: "Say."

Wang Yongguang glanced at Li Yi and said loudly: "I am impeaching Li Yi, the censor of Qiandu, for seizing military power and having evil intentions."

He Yaowen impeached Li Yi for treason, and Wang Yongguang impeached Li Yi for treason. Both were serious crimes. They obviously wanted to put Li Yi to death.

At this time, Zhang Yunru also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have violated the rules before impeaching Mr. Li Yi. This matter is related to the national system. I hope your Majesty will take it seriously."

One was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the other was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other was the Minister of Civil Affairs. The three of them impeached Li Yi together, which can be said to be a huge momentum.

Emperor Chongzhen really didn't expect so many people to impeach Li Yi. He was so worried that he couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, more civil servants came out to impeach Li Yi.

"I am a traitorous minister by impeaching Li Yi for meeting his superiors."

"I feel that Li Yi is qualified to be a fourth-rank official and is inconsistent with national laws, so I asked the emperor to withdraw his order."

"Li Yi previously helped the victims and bought people's hearts. He was so heartbroken that he asked the emperor to punish him for causing trouble to the Ming Dynasty."

The officials reported that Li Yi was like a lonely boat in the ocean, being beaten by huge waves and could be shattered to pieces at any time.

Li Yi looked at the noisy civil servants next to him. Only at this moment did he understand why so many officials in ancient and modern times died without intact bodies, because all of their colleagues were monsters who ate people without spitting out their bones.

Emperor Chongzhen was confused and confused.

At this time, Cao Huachun came out and said loudly: "Quiet..."

After shouting three times in a row, the ministers who had just been so excited calmed down.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little pale. He looked at Li Yi below and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "There is no real evidence for this matter..."

"Your Majesty, with so many ministers waiting for me, would I still frame him, a weak-toothed boy?" a minister shouted.

"Does the Emperor not believe us?"

"Your Majesty, your virtuous minister, Yuan Xiaoren, Li Yi is the villain next to you."

Chongzhen said one sentence, and these ministers said ten sentences. The whole hall was in chaos, and there was no dignity at all.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers below and was speechless when asked.

Does he dare to say that he trusts Li Yi more than he trusts them?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I am very pleased that all ministers and ministers are worried about state affairs. However, Li Yi is a fourth-rank official in the court. How can he ask questions without real evidence? This is against the law. Members of the cabinet, what do you think?

?”

Emperor Chongzhen really had no choice but to turn his attention to a group of gray-haired ministers.

Li Biao looked at Li Yi and had no good impression of this young man who relied on the emperor's favor to become the censor of Qiandu. He said coldly: "Your Majesty, I also think that Li Yi is too young and his sudden high position is not suitable for him."

It's a good thing, I hope the emperor will notice it clearly."

Qian Longxi had no personal grudge against Li Yi. Although Li Yi was young, he was promoted to a fourth-rank official based on his solid merits. It was reasonable and reasonable, so he said: "I believe that this matter needs strict investigation, and the minister must not be wronged."

At this time, Han Xu, who was the chief assistant, said: "The veteran also believes that this matter needs to be investigated in detail. Moreover, Li Yi suddenly rose to a high position and had many military achievements that are incredible. This really puzzles the veteran. I hope the emperor will temporarily imprison him."

Li Yi, we will deal with it after the matter is investigated clearly."

Han Xu expressed his opinion, and a group of ministers agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen had no way to fight against so many ministers. Looking at the isolated and helpless Li Yi, he could only make up his mind and said: "Where are the Jinyi guards? Capture Li Yi and take him to the imperial prison."

Li Yi finally knew the consequences of committing public outrage and did not resist. He just looked at the civil officials in the palace coldly.

The civil officials who impeached Li Yi were stared at with cold and stern eyes. They all felt chills on their backs and couldn't help but take half a step back.

Jin Yiwei stepped forward, tied up Li Yi, and pinned him down in the main hall.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Yi, his eyes were a little red, and he said solemnly: "Treat him well. Without my will, lynching is not allowed."

The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, so they naturally respect his orders.

Li Yi looked at Emperor Chongzhen standing on the high platform. Only then did he realize that the emperor was not that easy to be.

Under the coercion of the courtiers like a wave, Emperor Chongzhen must have been just a slightly larger ship traveling in the wave.

After being imprisoned, Li Yi was not imprisoned in a dark and cold dungeon, but was imprisoned in a small courtyard.

This courtyard is slightly smaller, with only three rooms, and several royal guards holding the gates and walls.

Li Yi walked in and saw that the furnishings were simple and the windows on the walls were all sealed, obviously to prevent people from escaping.

Just as Li Yi was observing the house, there was a sudden sound from the yard next door.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then climbed up the courtyard wall under the gaze of Jin Yiwei, and happened to see Mao Wenlong practicing boxing.

Although Mao Wenlong is over sixty years old, his body is strong and he is able to use hard skills to kill the enemy in battle.

Looking at the whirling punches, Li Yi felt that they were very delicate.

After Mao Wenlong finished practicing a set of boxing skills, he was already sweating profusely. At this time, Li Yi said: "Mao Shuai, your boxing skills are good."

Mao Wenlong was startled by Li Yi's voice. He turned around and saw Li Yi and said coldly: "Are you here to see my joke?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Young man is not that free yet. I came here this time to be Mao Shuai's neighbor."

"Neighbor?" Mao Wenlong was slightly startled.

You must know that this is a place where high officials of the imperial court are imprisoned. How could Li Yi suddenly come here to be his neighbor?

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yi suspiciously and said, "Isn't your kid also in prison?"

Li Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

When I came this time, I originally sent Mao Wenlong and others to the imperial prison, but as soon as Mao Wenlong entered the imperial prison, I came in behind and became his neighbor. It was really embarrassing.

Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yi's expression and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Is your kid really imprisoned?"

Li Yi nodded helplessly.

Mao Wenlong burst out laughing when he saw it, pointed at Li Yi, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a smile on his face, and said out of breath: "God has eyes, God has eyes. Your boy is also here today."

.”

Seeing Mao Wenlong gloating about his misfortune, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Shuai Mao, don't be so happy."

Mao Wenlong laughed for a long time before he stopped, rubbed his stiff chin, and said, "Tell me, kid, why did you come in just two days ago?"

Li Yi did not hide anything and told what happened in the court.
