The king behind the empress

Chapter 102

Got it, let him die.

Several old elders understood Yang Weishang's meaning in an instant, and after thinking for a while, they all nodded silently, only Dong Zhongping, a bachelor's attendant, frowned and his face was a little ugly.

Of these several cabinet masters, Yang Weishang needless to say, he is a neutral party, he can ignore this matter.

Qian Min, Minister of the Household Department, is a member of a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Shi Yuhui, the magistrate of Dingzhou, has nothing to do with him.

Although Wang Fucheng, minister of the Ministry of War, and Cui Rushi, minister of the Ministry of Industry, were from the Gyeonggi region, Cui Rushi, the minister of the Ministry of War, was considered to be a member of the royal party and had little to do with the family.

And the family behind Wang Fucheng was a little further to the north, not next to Dingzhou, so they didn't care.

But Dong Zhongping can't do it. His basic base is in Jizhou, and Dingzhou is also a part of Jizhou. He can't get around this matter, otherwise he wouldn't know the content of Shi Yuhui's book.

Therefore, they can all agree, but Dong Zhongping can't. If he doesn't speak up about this matter, those aristocratic families behind him can spray him to death.

So even though he scolded Shi Yuhui in his heart, he still had to bite the bullet and stand up, and said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is somewhat suspicious."

"Let's not talk about anything else for the time being, let's just talk about the thirteen armored suits and forty private soldiers. No matter how stupid Shi Zhizhou is, he probably wouldn't think of relying on these people to plot rebellion, would he?"

The cabinet is like this, everyone discusses, if there is no objection, then submit everyone's conclusion, and if there is any objection, whoever has an objection, whoever has an objection, will bring it up to His Majesty.

Hearing Dong Zhongping's objection, Tang Weiyi didn't have any expression on her face, she just asked indifferently: "Then Dong Ge means that Shi Yuhui has an accomplice?"

"No, Your Majesty, I don't mean that."

Tang Weiyi's conclusion scared Dong Zhongping into a fool, and she quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is that Shi Zhizhou will definitely not be so stupid as to think of rebellion with this strength, so is it possible that this matter is a high-level one?" To frame Shi Zhizhou?"

Good guy, if you don't explain this clearly, if you get implicated in a few Dingzhou families later, the families behind you will have to kill yourself.

Tang Weiyi didn't even raise her head, and while looking at the other memorials in her hand, she asked seemingly casually: "So, Dong Ge always thinks that Shi Yuhui may have been wronged?"

Dong Zhongping felt inexplicably that Tang Weiyi's tone was not right, but the matter had reached this point and he could no longer back down, so he could only continue to say: "Your Majesty, I and Shi Yuhui are in the same year, and it is okay to have a personal relationship with him. I think He is definitely not the kind of traitor who intends to rebel, I wonder if there is some misunderstanding here?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I am willing to go to Dingzhou to investigate this matter in person."

The crime of hiding armor and conspiracy to rebel is actually a law established during the founding period of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the war had just ended, and there were still a large number of armor hidden among the people. What a mess.

Later, although this law has not been abolished, it has not been enforced at all for so many years. Like those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, there are hundreds of sets of armor, let alone a dozen sets. Come out to show off, basically no one cares.

Therefore, if Dong Zhongping were to investigate this matter, it would probably be possible to reduce the major incident to a minor one, and even if Mo Zizai did not pursue it, it would not be difficult to settle it.

"Okay, then you can go to Dingzhou."

Hearing what Tang Weiyi said, before Dong Zhongping could be happy, he heard Tang Weiyi continue to say: "But before you go, you have to tell King Zizai, because he said that Yu Zhisi has already investigated the Dingzhou matter, and the evidence is solid."

"Since you don't agree with his investigation results, you have to say hello to him both emotionally and rationally."

"Si... since... Prince Zizai has already found out."

Dong Zhongping froze in place, stuttering a bit when speaking, with just one sentence, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Originally, he thought that as a member of the imperial court, it was normal to be criticized and scolded a few times. When he turned back, he asked Shi Yuhui to bow his head and bleed again to compensate Mo Zizai. This matter would be over.

But I didn't expect that Mo Zizai threw Wang Zha when he came up, and made it clear that Shi Yuhui must be killed, so how could he intervene in this matter.

Several elders looked at Dong Zhongping sympathetically, he was still too young.

Not to mention Mo Zizai's character of not rubbing sand in his eyes, just say that he has pushed out such a good hidden high rate now, isn't it just to kill Shi Yuhui?

In the end, you still dare to jump out, you are really not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty, since Yu Zhisi has found out, I have no objection."

Dong Zhongping instantly changed into a righteous and arrogant demeanor, "Shi Yuhui hides so deeply on weekdays that even the minister has deceived him. He must have a big plan and a heinous crime. The minister proposes the death penalty for him, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public. .”

Hearing Dong Zhongping's shameless words, the elders who expressed sympathy for Dong Zhongping just now felt amazed. No wonder he was able to become a cabinet scholar when he was in his forties. Just talking about his ability to adapt to the wind and his invincible thick-skinned, it would not be a loss for him to be the elder of the pavilion.

Moreover, his method of selling teammates is also very skilled. Thinking of Dong Zhongping, who pleaded for others just now, but now demands the death penalty, the rest of the court elders moved their seats calmly, and quietly walked away. Teach Dong Zhongping a little bit, lest he turn around and sell himself as a teammate.

Seeing Dong Zhongping's attitude change so quickly before and after, Tang Weiyi also felt a little funny in her heart. It seems that Brother Mo really frightened these Beijing officials. Hearing Brother Mo's name, he immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

However, Tang Weiyi did not show a smile on her face, and continued to ask in that flat tone, "But according to what you said before, if Shi Yuhui has not been wronged, then he must have accomplices, right? "

"Your Majesty, this..."

Dong Zhongping has been here for a long time, but there is no reason for this. He is not afraid to take back his words and slap him in the face. Wouldn't it be more ruthless to offend.

He is not an upright official, if Mo Zizai ransacked his house if he really got annoyed, he couldn't stand it.

"I'm asking you something!"

Tang Weiyi got a little impatient waiting, and said coldly, "Do you have any accomplices?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Being urged by Tang Weiyi so much, Dong Zhongping couldn't control so much anymore. The poor Taoist friends are not dead poor. Now it's important to protect yourself. At worst, let the aristocratic family in Dingzhou push out some scapegoats. Anyway, he can't do anything wrong.

Hearing Dong Zhongping said yes, Tang Weiyi smiled slightly. She didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains, and it seemed that she could take the opportunity to clean up a few Dingzhou aristocratic families.

"In this case, Dong Ge Lao Dingzhou should go to Dingzhou to help Yu Zhisi find out Shi Yuhui's accomplices."

Dong Zhongping's face was like a bitter melon, but he didn't dare to refuse at all, so he could only bow his head and reply: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out all Shi Yuhui's accomplices."
