Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 300
In the Wenhua Palace.

The two old men in scarlet robes looked at each other, neither of them would give in to the other, and they were very rude when speaking.

In fact, Wang Wen and Xue Xuan did have enmity.

At the beginning, when Wang Zhen was powerful, his nephew Wang Shan wanted to forcefully marry a concubine of a captain of Jin Yiwei, but was blocked by his wife, so Wang Shan designed to frame the wife, saying that she poisoned her husband.

The case was sent to Dali Temple. Xue Xuan, who was the prime minister of Dali Temple at the time, felt that something was wrong, so he asked for a review.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shan had already colluded with Jin Yiwei to destroy all the evidence.

In the end, not only was the case overturned, but Xue Xuan himself was also involved. Wang Zhen turned over and ordered people to impeach Xue Xuan for accepting bribes and escape the prisoner.

As a result, Xue Xuan was imprisoned and court judgment was carried out according to the procedure.

Because there was a vacancy in the post of Minister of Dali Temple at that time, Zuodu Yushi went out to inspect, so Wang Wen, Youdu Yushi was in charge of presiding.

Unexpectedly, at the very beginning of the court court, before Wang Wen could open his mouth, Xue Xuan would yell at him, saying that Wang Wen was attached to Wang Zhen, and that as the censor of Youdu, he tried the cases involving the censor, and the prisoner stole himself.

For Wang Wen's anger, he almost killed the old man with one fist.

At that time, Jin Yiwei destroyed all the evidence, and forged the evidence of one of Xue Xuan's subordinates accepting bribes, so Tingju took it for granted that nothing came out of the trial.

In the end, at the instigation of Wang Zhen, the orthodox emperor wanted to punish Xue Xuan for accepting bribes as a prisoner. Finally, under the persuasion of all the ministers, he was dismissed from office. He was not reinstated until after the Civil War job.

Therefore, the two have been feuding for a long time.

Wang Wen felt that the old man's words were unscrupulous, stinky and harsh, and Xue Xuan felt that Wang Wen had no integrity and clinging to powerful officials.

In addition, Xue Xuan was almost killed, and the bond between the two of them naturally became bigger and bigger.

This is also the reason why Xue Xuan ridiculed Wang Wen for being more and more capable.

However, in all fairness, Wang Wen was actually blaming himself for what happened back then.

At that time, although he wanted to save Xue Xuan, but there was no real evidence to prove Xue Xuan's innocence, and he reported the truth in a fit of anger, which almost caused Xue Xuan to be killed.

Therefore, when Xue Xuan mentioned the events of that year, Wang Wen's aura weakened by three points, and he was choked up for a while and couldn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiyu sighed, he really forgot about it.

In the whole court, Wang Wen was not afraid of anyone, but only this Xue Xuan, Wang Wen felt ashamed of him, and it was normal for him to fall behind without saying a few words.

However, he was not in a hurry, because he did not point to Wang Wen's ability to overcome all opinions in this court meeting.

He arranged for Wang Wen to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but there is still a place for him, and he cannot become an enemy of the whole court at this time.

Looking up at the bright sky, Zhu Qiyu smiled.

Calculate the time, it should be almost...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The heavy drum sounded suddenly, and it was introduced into the palace from the far palace gate.

The ministers of cultural relics, who were originally attracted by the debate between the two bosses, suddenly became a little puzzled when they heard the sound.

The morning court is not a regular court, and there is no great joy, so how can there be drums?

It was Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, who was the first to react. He frowned, turned around and looked at the place where the drums sounded outside the hall, and cried out.

"It's the Dengwen Drum, who dares to ring the Dengwen Drum?"

The boss's voice was not low, and many officials around him could hear it clearly, so the officials immediately talked about it.

Taizu established the country, followed the old system of the former Song Dynasty, and set up Dengwen Drum outside the Meridian Gate. When soldiers and civilians have grievances and need to sue, they can ring the Dengwen Drum to reach Tianting.

At the beginning, the Dengwen drum system was not perfect. Therefore, in the Hongwu era, many people beat the Dengwen drum because of many trivial matters.

So later, the imperial court established two systems.

The case sued by the person who beat the Dengwen drum must be reviewed step by step by the county government, the government government, the procuratorate, the Ministry of punishment, and the Dali Temple.

Those who beat the drums will be given fifty sticks. If the court finds that there is no grievance after the drums are played, the staff will be given one hundred sticks.

Although in actual implementation, if there are indeed injustices in the trial, the [-] cane of leapfrog appeal can usually be waived.

However, this decree still has a deterrent effect on the common people. It has been seven or eight years since the imperial court has received a case that is enough to beat Dengwen's drum.

Therefore, many elders who had just entered the dynasty looked at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

The Dengwen Drum is a big event. Although no one has played it for many years, the Dengwen Drum has always been guarded by people from the Sixth Division and Jinyiwei in turn.

Therefore, after the drum sounded for only a moment, a Jinyiwei Baihu dressed in a flying fish robe came to see him from outside the hall.

After entering the hall, the hundred households prostrated themselves on the ground, holding a complaint in their hands, and said.

"Chen Dengwengu is on duty to guard a hundred households, Deng Wenjian. Just now, someone at the gate of the palace claimed to be the eldest son of Zhennan Wangfu, Zhu Yinxuan. He held a complaint and rang Dengwengu, wanting to avenge his father's grievances."

"According to the laws and regulations, the minister has sent his captain to temporarily detain him outside the Meridian Gate, and forwarded his complaint, please Your Majesty to read."

Zhennan Palace?

Hearing this name, all the ministers immediately regained their spirits, and turned their attention to Xue Xuan, Chen Mao and others who were still debating in the hall.

Isn't this a coincidence?

The few people here happened to be talking about the case of King Zhennan, almost tossing the emperor into it.

As a result, before the words fell, the son of Zhennan King over there beat the Dengwen drum, saying that he wanted to complain for his father?
This can be interesting!

The biggest reason for Xue Xuan and others to persuade the emperor to send a mission immediately is that once the inside story of this case is made public, the people all over the world will unconsciously compare the case with the current situation of the Tian family.

But now, people keep shouting for injustice.

This case has not been tried for two days, if it was turned over like this, it would be a slap in the face.

Besides, this is no ordinary case.

It involves the face of the Tian family, a prince's son, and three county kings, and their status is very important.

Once it is turned over, then Ning Yanghou and the others who are adjudicating the case will have good fruit to eat?
Sure enough, Chen Mao immediately reacted and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the case of King Zhennan has sufficient evidence and the facts of the case are clear. The trial process was jointly supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Dongchang, and more than a dozen clan princes were present to hear the trial in person. How can there be any grievances that are unclear?"

"As far as I can see, this must be the king of Zhennan who is unwilling and struggling to die. Zhu Yinyu hastily beat the Dengwen drum to disturb Shengting. They should be sent to prison together."

However, what he can think of, how can others not think of it.

Yu Shiyue also stepped forward immediately and said.

"Your Majesty, the Taizu set up the Dengwen Drum originally to clear up the grievances and open the way for speech. What's more, this case is of great importance. Now that the Dengwen Drum is ringing, the case should be re-examined to investigate the doubts in detail."

"As far as I can see, I might as well call Zhu Yinyu to the palace to present himself. I believe that since he dared to strike the Dengwen drum, he must have a grievance to appeal. Why not draw conclusions indiscriminately? If everything is like this, the Dengwen drum Isn't it just a fake?"

Wang Wen also left Xue Xuan behind and spoke.

"Your Majesty, what Elder Yu Ge said is true. The Taizu has rules. Anyone who ascends to hear the sound of the drum must be heard by the sage. This is called a direct appeal. What's more, this matter involves clan affairs. I ask your majesty to call Zhu Yinyu to the hall to speak to the group." In front of the minister, explain clearly."

It is customary for the emperor to intervene in person when the drum is sounded.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu didn't hesitate much, glanced at the complaint that was handed over, and said: "This matter is no small matter, call Zhu Yinyu to the hall!"
