Liu Yong nodded and said, "He, it's because he understood it too late, maybe he hasn't understood it yet, that's why he came to where he is today."

Liu Hu said: "Grandpa means that he is going to fail?"

Liu Yong looked at the sky again, and said softly: "No, he has already failed."

......

"Three years ago when the Tatars from the north invaded the south, He Shanbao, as the chief minister of the cabinet, did not think about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. Instead, he took this opportunity to kill dissidents. Soldiers, this is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!

Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, the country's heroic general!Just because he didn't agree with him, he was framed and all his fame and fame went to waste. This is framing Zhongliang!

Since the past dynasties, the White Lotus Sect has always been anti-religious, with the mission of overthrowing the imperial court.As the head of the officials, He Shanbao set an example for the imperial court. He didn't want to eliminate the calamity for the imperial court.

......

Since He Shanbao took up the position of chief assistant, he has cultivated his confidants on a large scale, formed cliques for personal gain, disrespected the king's order, refused to listen to advice, was authoritarian and self-willed.

When a flood occurred in Shandong a few years ago, the imperial government allocated 40 taels of silver for flood control and another 20 taels for resettling the victims.However, I learned that among the 40 taels of money used to control the flood, only a mere tens of thousands of taels were used to build river embankments.

The governor of Shandong is He Shanbao's student!The matter here must also be inseparable from it.

......

......"

Zhao Qian's eloquent impeachment article summed up the seven deadly crimes, but he cited more than a dozen specific cases, all of which could remove He Shanbao's crown and vermilion yarn.

He spoke generously, and no one interrupted him.

The emperor said: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

"The case of Shandong Dashui years ago is indeed true. Your Majesty only needs to send one person to investigate and come to his own conclusion. As for He Shanbao who was the mastermind of the Northern Expedition and Collaboration with the Enemy and traitorous country three years ago, I think my lords They are all well aware that all the officials involved in the case, whether it is Wang Xianjue in the front or He Yunshan who was imprisoned later, have a close relationship with He Shanbao. Even Liu Shi, the first-class male in Shoushanbo's mansion, is He Shanbao's son-in-law .

However, this point requires Master Wu to testify for me. "

As soon as Zhao Qian finished speaking, Wu Zihao stepped forward and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Liu Shi has already confessed, and the person who ordered him to intercept and kill the postman was none other than Master He, the chief assistant!"

Such a chain of blows changed the faces of the officials.The strange thing is that none of He Shanbao's "partners" in the past stood up to speak for him at this time. They seemed to realize that He Shanbao's downfall was irretrievable, so they wanted to separate themselves.

The emperor finally looked at He Shanbao who had been bowing his head in silence, and said, "Master He, what do you have to say about what Master Zhao and Master Wu said?"

He Shanbao raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhengqing who was sitting on the dragon chair above. What he saw was indifference.

"My minister is loyal to the imperial court, it can be shown to the sun and the moon, please let your majesty learn from it!"

As He Shanbao said, his slightly stiff body slowly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Zhengqing.

Emperor Zhengqing looked at his aged body, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, and he withdrew immediately, saying lightly:

"My lord He has served as chief assistant for eight years. I have worked so hard and accomplished so much. I really can't bear to speculate. It's just what Zhao Qian said, this is a big matter, which concerns the safety of the society, and I have to treat it with caution.

In this way, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three Sixiang of Dali Temple are ordered to investigate this matter, and the other yamen will fully cooperate, and the case must be investigated within two months.In addition, temporarily appoint Beijing Wang Shuirong as the imperial envoy to personally supervise the case on my behalf. "

"The minister waits for the order!"

He Shanbao raised his head again, looked up, and besides Emperor Zhengqing, he seemed to see another figure.He took a closer look, there was nothing there, and felt bitter in his heart, but he still bowed respectfully: "Sinful Minister~Leader~"

Just when the ministers thought that the matter had settled, and some people were happy while others were worried, they suddenly heard a very abrupt voice from outside the hall.

"The decree has arrived~!"

Jia Qing, who had been watching quietly in the corner, was taken aback.To be able to hear this voice in the Golden Luan Hall!

Everyone looked towards the door.I saw several old eunuchs walking in quickly, and the leader was Wu Dequan.

At this time, he held a bright yellow imperial decree in both hands, lowered his head, without looking at the officials, and walked directly to the front, and then walked directly to the platform where the dragon chair was placed...

The audience was silent, waiting with bated breath.

Wu Dequan stood on the side of the platform and stopped, then raised his head to look at the ministers, and said sharply: "The emperor's decree~!"

All the officials were only stunned for half a second, then they all knelt down.

Emperor Zhengqing's complexion changed, he looked at the group of officials kneeling in the hall, slowly, slowly, he also stood up, and then, he himself didn't know what kind of emotion he was kneeling down with of......

Wu De looked at all this with his face unchanged, opened the holy decree and said:

"...

I was shocked to hear that the defeat in the northern war three years ago was actually done by the ministers in collusion with the leader of the Bailian bandit. The emperor had to act effectively to make this matter known to the world. I am very relieved!

However, how can such a major case that has never been seen in the country be lightly forgiven?

Fate, all the bandit leaders in custody of the White Lotus Sect, beheaded!All officials involved in the case, beheaded!

Another order: the first assistant He Shanbao will be the supervisor and beheader, and at noon the next day, all the criminals will be beheaded in front of the Meridian Gate for public display.

This is it. "

There was a long silence, and it took a long time before I heard the first sound: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Then came the more orderly voices.

Emperor Zhengqing knelt on the platform in a daze, his fingers had already been deeply pinched into his palm, he still didn't know it.

Wu Dequan didn't rush, and stood quietly in front.There was no movement above, and the officials below had no choice but to maintain a kneeling posture, not daring to look up at all.

After another long time, Emperor Zhengqing finally came back to his senses, glanced at the officials below, slowly stretched out his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your minister...lead the decree!"

Wu Dequan put the imperial decree into the hands of the emperor, turned around and returned from the same way without saying anything.

The officials still dare not get up.

Dai Quan, who was standing beside him, saw Emperor Zhengqing knelt still, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said, "Long Live Lord?" Then he wanted to help him up.

Emperor Zhengqing raised his head, staring at him fiercely with dead eyes, which made his heart tremble, and he involuntarily let go of his hands.

Then I saw Emperor Zhengqing standing up directly, without saying a word, holding the imperial decree, walking directly off the platform and leaving.

Dai Quan felt the same bitterness in his heart, he could feel what Emperor Zhengqing was feeling now.

Taishanghuang, if you make this imperial decree today, how will Long Live God control Yu Yunei in the future?How to rule the people of this world?

The officials below didn't know what was going on outside, and they didn't dare to take a peek, for fear that Emperor Zhengqing, who was bound to be furious at this time, would hold a grudge.

"Back to court~......"

Dai Quan yelled at the top of his voice, he didn't care about anything else, and chased after Emperor Zhengqing in front of him.
