Chapter 722 Going to the Cabinet

Heaven, Earth, the king, parents, teachers, three pillars, five constants, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness... Maintaining the two capitals, 13 provinces, 100 million people, and 100 million miles of territory, is a layer of invisible, intangible, but real rules!

Only when everyone respects the rules can there be a gentleman's politics and peace in the world. {(Why is Tingtui the only way to select the Grand Secretary and the senior officials of the ministry? Because Tingtui represents the consciousness of all officials and the recognition of everyone. Even the emperor must abide by it, let alone the auxiliary.

Xu Jie refused to suppress Tang Yi, who had made outstanding contributions, and supported Zhang Juzheng, who had been fighting for soy sauce for more than ten years, and threw the rules of selecting officials aside. Even as a hard-core confidant, Zhao Zhenji couldn't stand it. Now the big fire in the Dong family makes people angry.

Dong Fen was the third-rank left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Even though he was recognized as a strict party, the court did not convict him, but died in a blaze.

But based on Yan Hu's confession, Dong Fen had contacted Xu Jie before and actually wanted to save Yan Shifan.

Now that Dong Fen is buried in the fire, the easiest thing that comes to mind is someone who kills people to silence him.

Who dares to kill the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who else can be there besides Xu Jie?

He kept persuading himself that Zhang Ju was making trouble, and the master was deceived and had no idea... But facing the fire in the Dong family, Zhao Zhenji could no longer deceive himself.

No matter how great Zhang Juzheng is, can he move Dong Fen without Xu Jie's instructions?

It turns out that everything is the master of the teacher. Xu Jie was fighting with Yan Song for more than ten years. No matter how bad the means are, he could find a high-sounding reason. But now? Yan Song has fallen, and there are no treacherous parties in the court, but he is desperate to force the third-rank official to death and throw the court's laws and regulations and ancestors out of the sky. Such behavior is worse than Yan Song!

Zhao Zhenji stood in front of the fire, his whole body trembling, a blush, a white, and his lips kept trembling. He turned around suddenly and actually walked towards Xiyuan, with a fierce momentum, as if he was desperately trying.

"Brother Dazhou, wait!"

Zhu Heng ran several steps and grabbed Zhao Zhenji!

The old master shook his sleeves twice, and Zhu Heng grabbed them tightly. Zhao Zhenji turned around suddenly and his eyebrows stood up.

"Zhu Shinan, do you still ask me to settle things? No, I will tell you that the person surnamed Zhao does not have any skin, does not have this life, and wants justice! Whoever dares to stop him is Zhao Zhenji's enemy!"

The old man is full of murderous aura and possesses the evil spirit.

Zhu Heng smiled bitterly, "Brother Dazhou, in your eyes, is I, Zhu Shinan, a villain who is indistinguishable from right and wrong?" Zhao Zhenji turned black and said nothing.

"Brother Dazhou, what can you tell me clearly when you look for Mr. Xu now? It will cause criticism. If Mr. Xu hadn't done it, others would say that you helped Mr. Xu to destroy the evidence."

The implication is that it was done by Mr. Xu, so you are just informing you.

Zhao Zhenji was not slow, but was confused by the anger. When Zhu Heng reminded her, she finally calmed down a little.

"Brother Shinan, I have offended you so much. Tell me, what should I do now?"

"Brother Dazhou, I will stare at the Dong Mansion and ask them to put out the fire to see what the outcome of Lord Dong is. When you interrogate Yan Hu, you must figure out everything he and Dong Fen discussed, and... don't forget that imperial edict!"

"That's right! I want to see if there is or not?"

Without saying a word, Zhao Zhenji immediately returned to the Ministry of Justice and called Yan Hu up.

This young master Yan is really not as tough as his father. He has been used to being pampered since childhood. After staying in prison for a while, he was so scared that he was weak all over. He didn't have to be punished if he asked whatever he asked.

Yan Hu said everything he knew, including his plan to use fake imperial edicts to threaten Tang Yi.

"Have you ever seen Lord Tang?"

"No."

"Have Dongfen ever contacted Tang Yi?"

"It shouldn't be either. He told me that the court had changed. Mr. Xu wanted to kill Tang Yi, and he could use evidence of his crime to get Mr. Xu's help."

Yan Hu didn't want to do it either, but he had never contacted Tang Yi. After a brief question, he completely removed Tang Yi.

Finally, there is still hope!

What Zhao Zhenji is most worried about is that Tang Yi is also involved, and Xu Jielai is both defeated. The Xinxue, who has just become prosperous, is over.

No, there is another fatal thing!

Zhao Zhenji suddenly slapped the arbor and said angrily: "Yan Hu, you keep saying that there is any fake imperial edict, where is it?"

"In..." Yan Hu didn't want to say that thing was the life-saving talisman of their father and son, and it was done if handed over. He was hesitating, the yamen runners on both sides came up with sticks.

"I want to see how hard you are, and you will be punished!"

"Don't, I'll call you. It turns out that when I was arrested by the little one in Baiyun Temple, I already brought it."

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to bring up several boxes he found. Yan Hu trembled and found one of them, carefully opened it, and took out a box of red sandalwood from it, with a copper lock on it, which was very exquisite.

Without any damage, Yan Hu suddenly turned his head, poked his two fingers, reached into his throat, and then made a sound of vomiting. Zhao Zhenji looked at it with a green face. After a while, Yan Hu trembled and took a thin thread from his teeth, and then found the key in a pile of vomit.

With a light poke, the lock opened wide, Yan Hu gasped and said, "That's right here."

Zhao Zhenji hurriedly got someone close to him and took out all the things in the box. At the bottom, there was a letter that Hu Zongxian wrote to Yan Song.

Sure enough, there is!

Zhao Zhenji shivered. He had already decided that Tang Yi was wronged and regarded him as the hope of learning. Zhao Zhenji did not want something to happen to Tang Yi, but if Hu Zongxian really made an imperial edict, the crime would be too great.

No matter what, Hu Zongxian cannot be saved, and Tang Yi will be implicated.

Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang, why do you have to destroy the Great Wall? As a disciple of Yangming Gong, you are united in harmony and revitalize the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it good to revive the Ming Dynasty?

I have to fight to the death!

He thought of Tang Yi again. Over the years, he had misunderstandings and friendships, especially after serving as the governor of the canal transportation, Zhao Zhenji understood the more difficult it was.

In order to give an imperial edict to the Anhui Wang Zhi, Hu Zongxian was understandable even if he had made false imperial edicts. He was not a rebellious person at all. But a few years later, he was caught and made a big fuss. It seemed that it was too difficult to do things in the Ming Dynasty.

I am also an accomplice, and if it is true... I will have no face to gain a foothold in the court.

Zhao Zhenji gritted his teeth and took out the letter. When he got it, he felt something was wrong. He picked up the envelope and looked carefully several times.

"Yan Hu, is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Yan Hu did not hesitate. He only carried the key on it himself. From beginning to end, only Dong Fen had seen it once, and then it was put away. When Zhao Zhenji came to catch him, he hid the key in his stomach in a hurry.

The sandalwood box is specially made with gunpowder inside. If it is opened violently, it will explode and blow things up. The box is intact, so there is definitely no problem with the things.

Yan Hu patted his chest and promised that Zhao Zhenji was serious and asked the clerk to write down every word Yan Hu. He said it again and carefully described the situation of the box and letters.

After doing everything, Zhao Zhenji took out the letter from the inside, read it from beginning to end, pasted it on the paper, and sniffed it carefully, like a dog.

At this moment, Zhu Heng and Mao Kai also rushed back. When they saw Zhao Zhenji like this, they all came over.

"Haha, you can take a look, this is the so-called imperial edict made by Mr. Hu!"

Zhu Heng and Mao Kai approached, imitated Zhao Zhenji, and carefully examined it, and Mao Kai's face turned dark.

"By the time, this is a letter written six or seven years ago, but the paper seems to be new. I think it was clearly faked not long ago."

"That's right, and you don't care about making a fake. No matter the paper, ink, ink, seal, everything is wrong!" Zhu Heng said: "I also think this letter is fake!"

When Hu Zongxian was in the southeast, his life was a luxury. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone he used were not ordinary things. The most important thing was that a letter would have a unique seal, which could not be faked at all.

This is also the reason why Tang Yi insisted on getting the truth in his hands, otherwise no matter how clever your methods are and how reasonable the defense is, the charge of fake imperial edicts will not be washed away.

With Dong Fen's help, he got the real out and destroyed it, and stuffed Yan Hu with a fake product. But that day, Yan Hu was not in a state of mind and had no idea that Dong Fen, who was devoted to their father and son, would actually harm them, and he was stunned, but Zhao Zhenji and the other two were not stupid.

They alone failed, and they found professionals who were proficient in appraisal from the Ministry of Justice. After unanimous confirmation, the so-called imperial edict, judged from the ink and paper, could be at most three months, or even in the past few days, and Hu Zongxian's suspicion was completely gone.

Then what explanation should be made?

The three old men looked at each other, and the situation they were most reluctant to happen.

Framed is definitely framed!

In order to deal with Hu Zongxian and Tang Yi, some people did not hesitate to use Yan Shifan to attack him and arrest him, and then forced Yan Hu to produce a forged evidence. People believed that Hu Zongxian was the Yan Party, and the evidence produced by the Yan family naturally became somewhat credible.

It's really a deliberate and good intentions!

Zhao Zhenji slapped the table, "Brother Shinan, how are you doing there? Does the Dong family have a living?"

"No!" Zhu Heng shook his head, "The fire was put out, only the servants and the old man in the Dong family ran out. As for Dong Fen, he was burned to death in the study, and his body turned into coke, and he could only be identified from the jade pendant he carried on him."

"Kill someone to silence you!"

A series of events, without any limit, completely angered Zhao Zhenji and Zhu Heng and Mao Kai. They were shouting in their hearts, "The rules, where are the rules?"

"Two, do you dare to accompany me to Xiyuan?"

"Hahaha, Brother Dazhou, this case is the trial of our Ministry of Justice. You should accompany me Zhu Shinan!" The three respected old ministers joined forces to kill the cabinet... (To be continued.)8
