Seeing that it was Zhang Guoji, many people were indeed shocked.

Because it was not that Zhang Guoji had been investigated at the beginning, but in the end... everyone only thought that Zhang Guoji was just being bullied.

But who would have thought that... this person was one of the masterminds.

Emperor Apocalypse's face suddenly pulled down.

Mr. Lushan, who was hanging in the air, had a gloomy face, which was different from the anger just now. At this time... his face became particularly serious.

Zhang Guoji looked furious.

Emperor Aoki said, "Is it him?"

"Yes!" Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "At least in the capital, it was Taikangbo, not the others who commanded this conspiracy."

"Can such a stupid guy be the mastermind?" Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but curse.

Zhang Guoji only had a gloomy face and refused to speak any more.

His eyes looked at Mr. Lushan who was hanging here intentionally or unintentionally, and exchanged glances with each other.

But...at this moment... nothing is meaningless.

Zhang Jing said, "Actually... I never doubted him from the beginning... It's not because... I think he is stupid like Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty met a 'stupid' in Liaodong. Judging from all the signs, Taikangbo did not have any abnormal movements. And... Even if he had no plans, someone would want to use their Zhang family to achieve their goals."

"The reason why I have grown suspicious is because... When I checked Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji, Zhang Guoji's behavior was too timid. In fact, it is understandable to be timid, but... his daughter was deposed, and he actually accepted it calmly..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing smiled and continued: "Everything in their Zhang family comes from the original Empress Zhang. For the Zhang family, they dare not say that it is a disaster, but it is definitely a matter of collapse. But Zhang Guoji has always emphasized his cowardice, so... the problem arises."

Zhang Jingyi looked at Zhang Guoji: "Anyway, Zhang Guoji is too smart, knowing that he must restrain his daughter's resentment after being deposed, and must emphasize that he only wants to survive, so he repeatedly hinted to his ministers that he is just a coward. Then... if this is possible, Zhang Guoji is not a fool, not only not stupid, but also absolutely brilliant."

"And another possibility is that this person is really stupid, just... a person so stupid and so easy to be exploited by others, so why do he behave so perfectly in the matter of abolishing the queen?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt like a ray of light on his back.

That's right, Zhang Guoji's performance... is so perfect.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "I vaguely know something."

Zhang Jing continued with a smile: "It's like Liu Chan in the Three Kingdoms. He said he was happy and everyone laughed at him as a fool. But as the king of the destruction of the country, he was made fun of as a fool. So is this person... really wise and really a fool? The problem faced by the Zhang family is actually the same. The destruction of the Zhang family made the Zhang family fall to death. It is precisely because of Zhang Guoji's perfect performance that everyone relaxed their vigilance against him, and he was able to... continue to continue. Therefore... I noticed him at that time, but... I also knew that it would not make much sense to continue interrogating. Since this is the case, it would be better to release him deliberately first and then... slowly touch his background."

Zhang Jingyi then said: "He has performed well these days, almost never going out of the door, and never going to step in the door, but... there will always be traces in anything, such as... he needs to contact people secretly. Since it is inconvenient for him, then the people of the Zhang family... always have people in contact with others... In fact... their methods are very secret. Until today, when they are anxious to take action, I dare to be sure."

"Why is this?"

"Because Mr. Lushan and others, no matter how stupid they are, they will know that simply assassinating Your Majesty is actually meaningless. Once Your Majesty dies, my Ming Dynasty will immediately ascend the throne, so what can I do if I kill Your Majesty? I dare to make an example. In the Battle of Tumubao, the Nawala people kidnapped Emperor Yingzong? Wouldn't there be Emperor Daizong soon to fight against them?"

"So, in the process of their regnar killing, there is another important link, that is, the palace. Because regnar killing is only the first step, the next step after regnar killing must be to control the court. If there is no one in the palace, they will not be different from a group of gangsters. But they are not gangsters, they are giant bandits. What the gangsters are planning is the world. How can they just kill the regnar rashly but don't give themselves the method of rescuing themselves? After thinking about it, since they want to rescue the aftermath, the only chance is to depose the queen Zhang."

Emperor Aoki sneered: "What's the use of a deposed queen?"

Zhang Jing immediately said, "Of course it is useful. Not to mention that the deposed queen Zhang has been in charge of the palace for so many years, there must be many close friends in the palace. On the other hand, she has just been deposed, as long as the people in the world think that Zhang was deposed because His Majesty believed the slander. The Zhang family has a very good reputation. At that time, there will be their people... to fight for Zhang. The most important link connecting Zhang family is Taikangbo Zhang Guoji!"

Originally, Zhang Jingyi did not dare to conclude that Zhang Guoji was one of the masterminds, but as soon as he learned that the Nanzhen Fushi might be rebelling, he could immediately be convinced.

Emperor Tianqi nodded, then looked at Zhang Guoji, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I have spared you once, but I didn't expect you to stop."

Zhang Guoji only closed his eyes at this time and said nothing.

Emperor Tianqi said to Mr. Lushan, who was hanging on the beam of the house, again: "You said... what is his relationship with you? What kind of accomplices do you have?"

Mr. Lushan just sneered: "I don't know anything about what you said. If you want to kill and cut, please listen to the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly: "Okay, I will cut you down."

Zhang Jing curled his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, it's a pity to cut it. Have you forgotten that I promise that the result will be found within one day?"

Emperor Aoki then gritted his teeth and said, "In one day?"

Zhang Jing said firmly: "In one day, the truth will be revealed!"

"Okay." Emperor Tianqi said: "But I have to watch from the side and learn."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty is extremely smart...Astronomy and geography...all..."

"Okay, hurry up and review it, I have a major reward!"

Zhang Jing calmed down and said, "The person who came... took everyone to Xinxian first."

……………………

Zhang Guoji was shackled and escorted to Xinxian County, but he sat wither and still said nothing.

He obviously made up his mind that now... he will die without a burial place, and he will never be spared.

So at this time, the only thing he can do is silence.

Soon, he was taken to the interrogation room.

Here, he saw a huge glass, on the other side of the glass, the Emperor Apocalypse and others.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi set up a table and sat opposite Zhang Guoji.

Zhang Guoji has been here once in the prison in Xinxian County, but this time he comes again, things change.

He looked up, glanced at Zhang Jingyi indifferently, and then fell into death-like silence.

Zhang Jingyi said: "I didn't expect that we are here again today..."

Zhang Guoji smiled and said, "Of course I remember, but I really didn't expect that there will be today."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Can you say it now?"

Zhang Guoji shook his head directly: "I have reached a dead end and I can no longer escape. What's the difference between saying or not talking at this time? What's more, I have worked hard over the years and have made many friends. These people... share my weal and woe with me. How can I be sorry for them? I naturally know that you want to take out something from my mouth, but... I can't obey my fate!"

Obviously, his attitude was very firm.

Zhang Jingyi said: "You should be very clear. I will find it sooner or later."

Zhang Guoji was unmoved and said lightly: "If you have the ability, you should check it yourself, but... you will never get anything from me."

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Taikangbo is indeed not beyond my expectations. He is worthy of being a man."

Zhang Guoji said, "Can I drink some tea?"

Zhang Jing nodded and glanced at the civil servant. The civil servant understood and quickly got up and went to get tea.

After the tea was delivered, Zhang Guoji picked up the teacup and then said, "Do you know why I am willing to do these things at the risk of being cut into pieces? In fact, I am already a father-in-law, and no matter what, I can't be the emperor. It's meaningless to do this."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Do you want to say that you are doing this for the sake of the people of the world?"

Zhang Guoji thought about it carefully before pondering: "I was your majesty's father-in-law, but when I saw what he did, I also saw with my own eyes the treacherous ministers and rebels he favored. Seeing them rising up a prison, I saw that... In order to deal with the Donglin Party, the gentlemen such as Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, Gu Dazhang, etc., all of them were imprisoned and killed. Zhang Jingyi, do you say that for all these things, will any upright person be willing to stop seeing these things?"

Zhang Jingyi stared at Zhang Guoji without comment.

Zhang Guoji smiled and said, "Look, you are speechless."

Zhang Jingyi sighed: "It's not that I'm speechless, but that I'm thinking about something."

Zhang Guoji said: "I hope to hear the details."

The two of them were talking calmly, not as if they were interrogating.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi said lightly: "I was thinking, since we are already angry with each other, why... are you so vulnerable?"

"What?" Zhang Guoji showed a look of shame and anger on his face.
