Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 309 The overall situation has been decided
King Zhou came to the hall with big strides, and stood opposite Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, his momentum was not at all inferior.

They have long disliked this old thing!
If you want to say who is the person you hate the most when the clans come to Beijing this time, it must be Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao.

At the Zhengdan banquet, he first insisted that King Guangtong and others be called to the hall, and in front of all the officials, he revealed the scandal of King Min's mansion.

Afterwards, he was partial and unfair, and he couldn't help but settle the case completely.

Don't forget, in the final analysis, the clans are all members of the same family, and the broken bones are still connected.

This case has been brought up to now, and it is not only the Min Palace who is ashamed?

If this case is confirmed, the other clans will not be able to save any face.

Therefore, for Ning Yanghou, who wanted to turn the case into an iron case, they naturally hoped that he would die sooner.

But the problem is that this Marquis of Ningyang is still in charge of the clan mansion.

The old princes don't want to be retaliated afterwards, so naturally they want to get rid of the evil.

Long before entering the palace, the old lords had discussed that no matter what this time, Ning Yanghou would have to stumble hard.

Of course, King Zhou knew more. When King Min summoned all the kings, he was the first one to look for.

They didn't just want to keep Zhu Huixun this time.

Now that the matter of Zongxue is already unstoppable, at least the clan mansion that is in charge of Zongxue must not be controlled by Xunqi anymore.

Otherwise, wouldn't the clansmen have to live on their breath in the future?

Before entering the palace, the old King Min promised him that once the case was resolved, they could take advantage of the situation and take it back to the clan mansion.

Anyway, it was also the ancestral system in Taizu's time that the prince was in charge of the clan mansion.

After Taizong came to power, although there were many restrictions on the kings, this ancestral system was not broken.

The chief official of the Clan Mansion, the Clan Order, has not been issued for many years.

All the relatives who are in charge of the affairs of the clan's mansion, in the final analysis, are just in charge of the affairs of the mansion.

With a cold snort, King Zhou spoke loudly and said.

"Regardless of whether the matter of giving birth is true or not, Hou Chen himself said it just now. This evidence is here, and it cannot be faked."

"Now the elders who are proficient in calligraphy have come to the conclusion that these two poems were written by one person."

"Then it can be proved that one of them must be fake, or all of them are fake. Since this evidence can be faked, then the poem that King Guangtong presented is not credible."

"From my king's point of view, you are just afraid that Zhennan King is not guilty in this case. The court will prosecute you, the presiding judge, for the crime!"

A few words left Chen Mao speechless.

By now, he also knew in his heart that this case was completely irreversible.

The witness brought by King Guangtong was dealt with by King Min with some kind of romantic affair.

A duplicate of this most critical piece of evidence unexpectedly appeared.

And the most troublesome thing is that this replica is almost the same as the real one.

In this way, these two pieces of ironclad evidence are untenable.

Seeing this situation, King Yi also stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the circumstances of this case are now very obvious. It's just that King Guangtong and King Yangzong were deceived and made a false accusation."

"These two people have always acted absurdly. Now they dare to make a big palace banquet and falsely accuse the county king. Please punish them severely."

All of a sudden, several princes came out one after another, demanding that King Guangtong and others be severely punished.

When the matter developed to this point, all the ministers present already understood in their hearts.

Guangtong Wang and others, the situation is over!
Or, the general trend has never stood with them.

After watching the whole process, an old man surnamed Hu intuitively smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Looking at the indifferent emperor on the throne, he always felt that this matter was not simple.

Of course, at this time, he will never stand up and say another word.

And more ministers began to think about the consequences of this case if King Zhennan was not guilty.

First of all, if King Zhennan is not guilty, then it is equivalent to upholding the original sentence. No matter how many twists and turns in this case, which is attracting attention from the government and the public, it will only stop in Fengtian Palace.

For the people in various places and even the world, this case will not cause any waves.

If the old case is not overturned, the pressure that Cheng Anhou, Xue Xuan and others put on the emperor will definitely disappear.

But it is conceivable that they will definitely not give up the idea of ​​welcoming the emperor back immediately, so they have to think more about what position they should take on this matter next.

What's more, once the case is settled in this way, it means that Ning Yanghou and others wrongly judged the case.

How to deal with it is another major matter involving the structure of the court.

What's more, the elders have a good memory, and they all still remember what the prince of Zhennan Wang said in the Wenhua Palace just now, that King Guangtong and others colluded with various mansions.

If King Zhennan is innocent, then it will be a major event that will destabilize the court if this thread is investigated.

The so-called pulling one hair can affect the whole body, who would have thought that such a religious task would unintentionally become the key to the court game.

Luo Tong and the others were obviously also aware of the current situation. Although there were more than a dozen princes in front of them, he still had to bite the bullet and walk out, said.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too bizarre, and the timing of the poem produced by the prince of Zhennan is too coincidental, and it may be suspected of forgery. I think that you should be careful and careful before making a conclusion. At least , we need to send someone to investigate the name of the son mentioned by Prince Zhennan, and then make a judgment."

After he finished speaking, he clearly felt a few dissatisfied eyes falling on him.

These glances came from Gao Gu, Minister of the Cabinet, Chen Xun, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Xiao Yi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

You know, it was the three of them who just identified the handwriting.

Luo Tong said so blatantly that this evidence may be forged, which is a bit of a slap in the face for them.

However, they only showed a little bit of dissatisfaction and did not speak.

By this time, the case had obviously surpassed the scope of religious affairs and became a court affairs.

Therefore, the ministers present did not have too many scruples.

Wang Wendang stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, why bother? Earlier, Ning Yanghou and others said that the evidence brought by King Guangtong and others was appraised by the scribes of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Imperial Academy, so he accepted it. On this point, Master Luo also agrees."

"Since this is the case, then call these scribes over again to appraise this new evidence together, and the truth will be self-evident."

Luo Tong choked for a moment, but couldn't speak with a dark face.

Wang Wen countered them word by word, biting what they said at the time, which is really hard to refute.

If the scribes of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple testify that this is true, then the fun will be great.

He wanted to open his mouth to object, but the emperor above had already opened his mouth, said.

"What the heavenly official said is reasonable, then call the Ministry of Punishment and the scribes from Dali Temple to come and give the world a verdict in front of all the ministers!"

The son of heaven spoke well, and the people below naturally moved quickly.

In less than a cup of tea, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were ready, and they were taken by Jin Yiwei and sent to the hall.

Under the watchful eyes of countless courtiers, these scribes were divided into two groups.

Each group got a copy of the so-called slander of Renmiao poems, one from King Guangtong and the other from King Zhennan.

At the same time, they were also provided with some original memorials of King Zhennan.

With so many bigwigs waiting, these scribes naturally dare not neglect.

Soon, the results came out, and the two groups of scribes in charge wrote the results respectively and handed them to Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

After Mr. Jin read it carefully, he turned around and said.

"Your Majesty, the two groups of scribes gave the same results. As far as the paper quality is concerned, the two poems are both from the tribute Xuan paper in the first year of Xuande. The ink quality is both pine smoke ink, judging from the degree of drying and depreciation. , were written in the early years of Xuande, and..."

Facing the eyes of the ministers, Mr. Jin continued to speak.

"After comparing with the congratulatory memorial written by Zhennan King in the early years of Xuande, the two groups of scribes gave the same conclusion. The two poems have a few words and the memorial's handwriting are slightly different, but each person's writing is the same. The environment is different."

"Therefore, judging from the strokes, handwriting, and writing strength alone, it can be determined that the two poems are the same person as the person who wrote the memorial."

After Jin Lian's words fell, everyone looked at the pale-faced Guangtong Wang and the others.

Wang Wen stepped forward and sneered at Luo Tong.

"What else can Master Luo say? Do you want to continue to argue, saying that the evidence of Zhennan Wang Shizi is a forgery, and the scribe's appraisal document is here. If Master Luo follows this logic, can the old man also say that Guangtong The evidence of Wang and others is also forged?"

"If so, then this case should not have been retried in the first place!"
