Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"The emperor is here, all the ministers have an early court!!"

In Fengtian Hall, Emperor Mingkang sat on the dragon chair, and everyone saluted in unison. "Greetings to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"

Dai Quan stood aside and sang loudly, "If you have a book to play, you can leave the court without a book!!" After hearing Dai Quan's words, a strange look appeared in the eyes of several ministers.

Fan Yuanhe took a look at Zeng Shutang. When they went to court today, the two of them had passed their breath.

Since ancient times, how many people with great military exploits were able to start well and end well, and most of them were not all proud of their credit, and ended up with one in the end, with a dismal end.

During this period of time, isn't that what Jia Qiu did?
First, on Jingxi Street in the capital city, he shot and killed Qian Yiliang, the previous prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and offended many ministers in the court sporadically, killing and wounding so many people.

What happened in Jinling afterwards, for the royal family, can be described as adding fuel to the fire.Without the emperor's order, he was able to mobilize the army, and it was still an army stationed outside the city.

Right now the royal family didn't move him, the reason was because of his military exploits and his reputation at this time.But these things will gradually fade with the passage of time, one year, two years, even ten years, eight years, or longer, will people still remember it?
Just like Goujian, the king of Yue, who can swallow Wu with three thousand Yuejia, one of his two arms is named Wen Zhong, and the other is named Fan Li.

What is the final result?Wen Zhong, who didn't recognize his position clearly, was killed by King Gou Jian of Yue, but Fan Li, who was far away from the court, escaped his life by luck.

Not all emperors in this world are Tang Taizong, and there is only one Lingyan Pavilion.Jia Yu's unrestrained approach is tantamount to digging his own grave.

If it doesn't work once, then twice, no matter how rich the holy family is, when the time comes, when the wall falls and everyone pushes it, not to mention a prince, even a prince, he may be doomed.

Zeng Shutang was so cold that he wanted to wink at his fans and make them open their mouths to play.

But the next moment, an imperial envoy from the Inspectorate became a blockbuster.

"My minister has a book to play!!"

Seeing this, Emperor Mingkang was taken aback. Gein was always a good guy, and when he seldom played, even if he did, it was mostly to criticize the current situation, and he was not right about people. How could he be the first one today? What to say? ?
"What is it???"

Emperor Mingkang waved his hand and signaled Dai Quan to go down and present the memorial, while asking. "My minister wants to join the cabinet minister Zeng Shutang!!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Fengtian Palace fell silent. This incident happened so suddenly that almost ninety-nine percent of the people present did not react.

Even Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate was stunned. He turned around cautiously and gave the other party a look, as if asking what are you doing? ?

The other party did not appreciate the look in the eyes of his immediate boss, but continued: "In the 36th year of Taikang, Zeng Shutang successively accepted the tribute from students in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and ordered Lin Jiqing, the invigilator at the time, to take care of him secretly. , and even leaked the exam questions privately! This is to cultivate the influence in the court!! Yu Heqing, Zhang Zhiyuan, Xu Zechang and several other important officials in the south of the Yangtze River are among them!"

Hearing this, Zeng Shutang's face darkened. How many years have passed, and he himself did not expect that Guan Zehai would actually dig up these old things.

But for these, he naturally wouldn't admit it without evidence.

"Your Majesty, this Guan Zehai is fabricating facts and framing him for no reason, please be aware of it!!" Guan Zehai laughed from the bottom of his heart, this is not what he wanted to talk about.

Afterwards, he did not refute Zeng Shutang's words, but continued: "In the seventh year of Mingkang, on the third day of June, I had close contact with the housekeeper of Zhen Shihai, the Zhen family in Jinling. The Zhen family promised to give Zeng Shutang a bonus of 120 million taels a year. Tang’s affairs! And arrange for my subordinates to join the Yanke to work with the Zhen family to completely control the Jiangnan salt transportation!!”

Another thing, when the big guys heard this, they couldn't help whispering.

Zeng Shutang's face darkened, what happened to Guan Zehai? ?

Those things are done very secretly, even in the family, only a very few people know about it. "Your Majesty, this Guan Zehai framed the old minister, and I want to sue him for slandering the minister!!"

Guan Zehai ignored him, and continued: "In the eighth year of Mingkang, Jiangnan Road, there were 23 people from Jiangnan, who wanted to go to Beijing to sue for imperial court. Salt is expensive in Jiangnan. It's not that people eat salt, but salt eats people. The Zhen family found out After the incident came to light, Kuai Ma sent a letter to Zeng Shutang. After Zeng Shutang received the letter, he secretly sent people to intercept and kill these 23 people. None of these poor people survived!! Those appalling things that happened in Jiangnan Yanke finally disappeared Only after knowing Mingkang for 13 years did Lin finally solve this problem!"

Another thing, this time Zeng Shutang didn't show his loyalty to Emperor Mingkang again, but one can be two, and can't be repeated.

"Master Guan, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. This old man has worked hard for the court all these years and has never had the slightest selfishness. If you can't produce evidence, this old man will drag you to be buried with him even if he dies!!"

Guan Zehai continued calmly: "In the 12th year of Mingkang, Zeng Shutang contacted Jianzhou Jurchen Yu Damu, and accepted a bribe of 1 taels of gold from him, promising him to put pressure on the court and send the champion Hou who was guarding Liaodong Town at that time. Force out of Liaodong!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. At that time, this incident even caused quite a commotion in the court! !
"In the 13th year of Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty, Fusang came to envoy and presented the treasure of the East China Sea Night Pearl, which is the size of a bowl. I asked Zeng Shutang to do his best to open the treaty port with Fusang, and I will be filial in the future!"

"And privately stated that the pirates on the southeast coast can listen to him and help him deal with some shady things!!" Wokou, this is not a good name. The same is true for Fan Yuanhe.

He sighed deeply in his heart, he knew that Zeng Shutang was over, but he didn't expect such an ending, he also didn't expect that his old friend who was an official in the same dynasty would do so many things in private.

It's really too deep to hide, and on weekdays he still pretends to be the only one who follows his horse's head.

"This is just a part of the many important things Mr. Zeng has done in the past few years. The rest have been listed in the memorial. Among them, the letters, account books and other specific evidence have been handed over to the Ministry of punishment. Zeng Shutang pretended to be the minister of the cabinet. A thief who will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"How can such a disloyal, unrighteous, benevolent and unfilial person live in this world with dignity? My ministers, please kill this bureaucrat, the nine tribes of barbarians!! Give justice to the world, and justice to the tens of thousands of dead souls in the south of the Yangtze River!! "

After the envoy finished talking about these things, Emperor Mingkang almost finished reading the memorial.Emperor Mingkang, who didn't say a word, gave people a feeling that the rain was about to come.

"Zeng Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"

Although they shouted Aiqing, everyone felt a chilly wind wafting in the hall.After all, Zeng Shutang was Zeng Shutang, but at this moment, he became quiet.

"Guan Yushi, you didn't get these things yourself!!"

Hearing Zeng Shutang's words, Emperor Mingkang narrowed his eyes, did Zeng Shutang admit it? ?

"Master Zeng, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and there is a god standing above your head. Don't think that no one will know about the things you have done. You must know that the laws of heaven are obvious!!"

Zeng Shutang laughed out loud when he heard the words, as if he was insane.

"When did you get entangled with Jia Yu's son?? First, Lin Ruhai, Minister of Rites, then Zhen Guogong, Li Guogong, has his hand reached the Inspectorate now??"

"You keep saying that the old man is a thief who brings disaster to the country and the people, isn't it your master?? He deceives the top and the bottom, holds a heavy army in his hand, and bribes the officials. What does he want to do?"

Now that Guan Zehai had already stated that all the evidence was there, he also gave up trying to prove his innocence. He had guessed who was behind Guan Zehai, and as a mere imperial envoy, it was absolutely impossible for him to find out such a secret.

There are not many people with such great power in the capital, and there is only one person who has had a conflict of interest with him recently, and of course has the ability to do it, and that is the champion Hou Jiayu.

That kid wanted to kill them all.

Since the other party won't let him have a good time, why should he let the other party have a good time.

And what he said was not false. Jia Yu's uncertainty also made them, the ministers of the court, pay enough attention to him.

The royal family found some things, and their ministers also found some things. The champion Hou's mansion is monolithic, so it's hard to find out, but what about the things outside the Hou's mansion! !Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Lin Mansion, and the Snow Dragon Riding Camp outside Beijing.

In the nine borders of northern Xinjiang, Liaodong Town, and Jiangnan, there are always some places beyond the reach of the whip, so he also found some tricks.The power in Jia Yu's hands is far more than what is shown on the surface.

He was even guessing that Jia Yu controlled most of the troops in the northern border. If this was true, then the lawless Jia Yu in the capital was definitely not what he appeared on the surface, and he had long been disobedient.

This is his conjecture without any evidence, but right now he has nothing to do.

As for the person sitting on the dragon chair, he knew what the other person was most worried about, and he also knew what the person in Taihe Palace was most worried about.

It's not the suffering of the people, it's not the collusion with foreign countries, but the surname of Chu in this country. "presumptuous!!!"

Mingkang Emperor Longyan was furious, slapped the imperial case, and shouted angrily.

Since it was already a dead end, Zeng Shutang did not continue to pretend to be a loyal minister and good general.

Looking at Emperor Mingkang on the dragon chair, he joked, "Your Majesty, you treat Jia Yu as your son, but is that really the case? You probably don't know how much power there is behind him!!"

"It's right here in Fengtian Palace, right here in Daming Palace, right in this civil and military court!! How many people are Jia Yu's children!! You don't even know it!! Compared with these trivial tricks of old ministers, He is a thief who truly endangers the country and society of Dakang!!"

Seeing the old guy in front of him getting more and more crazy, Emperor Mingkang shouted coldly: "Zeng Shutang!!!"

"I ask myself how well I treat you old ministers, and I have tolerated you again and again. This is how you repay me, repay the Supreme Emperor?"

"Such a wolf-hearted person dares to roar in the court. Do you think my sword is not good?? Can't you destroy your nine clans???"
