Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 416 Yu Shaobao's Statement

No matter how fierce and urgent the rain is, there will always be a time when the clouds gather the rain.

It rained for nearly a day, but in the evening, it cleared up instead.

The half-sunset sun leaned against the horizon, blurring out a colorful cloud, which looked really beautiful.

From time to time, drops of water slipped from the eaves and hit the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound, and the complexity of the world was reflected in the small puddles.

Zhu Qiyu stood under the corridor of Qianqing Palace, with his hands behind his back, his face was peaceful, showing a rare sense of relaxation, and his eyes were calm and far away, without waves.

Wynn stood behind him, also with a smile from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, a little servant stepped forward and said a few words to Wynn, and then Wynn took two steps forward and said softly.

"My lord, Eunuch Shu Liang brought Yu Shaobao back to the palace to return to the palace, and he is waiting for orders outside the palace."

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Qiyu's face subsided, and he turned around and said.

"Let them in."

Only Shu Liang and Yu Qian came back to return to their orders. As for Yu Shiyue, the emperor didn't say to let him go to prison together, so he wisely went back to the mansion early.

When Zhu Qiyu entered the hall, Yu Qian was already waiting in the hall. When he saw the emperor coming, he quickly got up and saluted.

Sitting down on the throne, Zhu Qiyu didn't rush him to get up, but looked him up and down first.

Yu Qian's face seemed to be the same as usual, but at a glance, Zhu Qiyu clearly felt that under his calm face, there was an uneasy mood hidden.

After waving his hand, someone gave Yu Qian a place to move, Zhu Qiyu didn't say too much, and said directly.

"Mr. Yu took this trip to the imperial prison, did he get the answer?"

When playing right in the palace earlier, Zhu Qiyu asked Yu Qian what he thought of this case, and he said that he would go to the prison to meet Xu Bin in person, and then report back.

So now, it's time for him to answer.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, his expression a little gloomy, and said.

"Your Majesty, I personally questioned Xu Bin in the imperial prison. Although he couldn't produce evidence, based on my experience, what Xu Bin said should be the truth."

It was difficult for Yu Qian to say these words, but he was clear and straightforward.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Although Yu Qian is now Minister of the Ministry of War, Daming's requirements for officials are basically all-round talents, so Yu Qian is also a master in criminal cases.

During the reign of Xuande, Yu Qian visited Jiangxi and concluded no fewer than a hundred cases in person. Later, he also served in Dali Temple.

Interrogating prisoners, observing words and deeds, and distinguishing true and false testimony are basic skills.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Yu Qian can tell whether Xu Bin is telling the truth or not.

Surprisingly, he actually said that.

Leaning forward, Zhu Qiyu asked in a heavy tone.

"Yu Qian, do you know what the consequences will be if your words and this case are spread to the outer court?"

What else could be the consequence?
Yu Qian was talking about Xu Bin, but Xu Bin was talking about the Supreme Emperor.

His approval of Xu Bin's words meant that Yu Qian had expressed his attitude on this issue related to the reputation of the Supreme Emperor.

Above the court situation, truth and position are always two different things.

Therefore, even if Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue can roughly guess the truth, when they say it, they are always vaguely "investigate thoroughly" and "cautiously".

Yu Qian, who has been in court for a long time, will not understand this truth.

Facing the emperor's questioning, Yu Qian raised his head and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, what is true is true, what is false is false, what is true cannot become false, and what is false cannot become true."

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

This seems like what Yu Qian said, but he didn't answer his own question after all...

Well, there was no need to ask this.

Sitting up straight, Zhu Qiyu's expression became calm again, and he continued to ask.

"Since this is the case, according to the opinion of the gentleman, how should we deal with this matter?"

In the final analysis, the most critical question is only this one.

Yu Qian was silent for a moment, obviously, he was not at peace, Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry, and looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

In the previous and present lives, Zhu Qiyu had known Yu Qian for nearly ten years, and he had a hunch that this time, Yu Qian would make the right choice.

After a while, Yu Qian exhaled lightly, his eyes became resolute again, he raised his head, and said firmly.

"Strictly investigate, thoroughly investigate, and investigate to the end, so that the truth must be revealed to the world, and the government and the public should be policed. The details of the case should be disclosed to the court. Those who are guilty or at fault should not hide a single word."

Guilty...and Lost?
Zhu Qiyu chewed these words slowly, leaned back on the chair lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly.

"I thought you would persuade me to calm down and save the royal family's face."

Yu Qian's expression was a little complicated, and he asked: "Will your majesty calm down?"

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing and said.

"You Yu Qian, when will you stop admonishing me because I don't want to?"

This sentence is actually not easy to answer. If you admit it, you are flattering your majesty, but if you deny it, you are too stubborn and do not know how to adapt.

But Yu Qian said calmly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the ruler of all the people, the court system, the royal face belongs to His Majesty, not others. If Your Majesty makes mistakes, you need to admonish them. If you have no mistakes, you don't need to admonish them."

Zhu Qiyu clapped his hands and nodded.

"That's a good point. Those who make mistakes need to be admonished, and those who are not wrong don't need to be admonished. Yu Qian, I didn't misread you!"

Facing the emperor's approval, Yu Qian didn't have any special reaction, but continued to cup his hands and said: "Thank you for your compliment, it's just my duty."

After calming down, Zhu Qiyu's expression became sharper, and he got up and said.

"Since Mr. Yu said so, I'm not lying. This case is beyond the scope of my tolerance."

"Sir, there was a good sentence just now. Those who are guilty or at fault should not hide a single word. This time, I will make the case known to the world, and I will not let anyone who tries to make a fool of themselves."

Yu Qian also nodded and said: "The people of Sheji cannot be bullied. Your Majesty's move is due to the intention. I will obey the holy order."

Zhu Qiyu smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After all, it was Yu Qian who endured it for so long, and in the end, he turned to the Sheji family.

However, it is very rare for him to be able to say this.

Restraining his smile, Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and asked.

"In this case, in the final analysis, there is only Xu Bin's testimony, which is hard to believe alone. It is because of this that it has been difficult for me to make a decision. Mr. Yu was an expert in criminal cases in his early years. Do you have any suggestions?"

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, and said: "The minister read Xu Bin's confession in the imperial prison, and there was a picture of a golden knife drawn by him. If I remember correctly, all imperial objects are registered in the palace, or It can be corroborated."

This is a way, but...

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu said: "That can only prove that Xu Bin has seen the golden knife, but not enough to prove anything else."

Yu Qian was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "Don't they want evidence? I will find evidence for them, count the days, at most half a month later, the evidence should arrive."

It has been nearly a month since the mission was arrested by Xuanfu.

During this month, he has been reluctant to say a word to the government and the public, but he has not only done the interrogation...
