Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Chapter 442 Counter-kill! (Second more)

Qin Hui in the crowd hastily stepped out, and he said, "The minister is here!"

"Bring it!"

Qin Hui immediately submitted the confession of Hu Weizhi's case.

The ministers were still puzzled. Zhao Guanjia took the confession and walked up to Wang Shoude: "Self-restraint and return to the courtesy, well said, the words of the sage Confucius are very fluent, and it is easy to use it to bargain with me!"

"I don't know what your Majesty means, because I have a public heart and a country."

"Publicity?" Zhao Ning slammed the confession on Wang Shoude's face, "Look at your publicity!"

The confession was scattered all over the floor, and the people around couldn't help being surprised.

Wang Shoude's face was slightly startled, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Zhao Guanjia scolded angrily: "Pick it up!"

Wang Shoude was stunned for a moment, and quickly bent down to pick it up. The eyes of the surrounding ministers all gathered, obviously wanting to know what was on it.

At this time, everyone is in a state of highly tense nerves.

"Read it out word by word for me, and let everyone see what a servant of the Ministry of Rites who is self-denying and loyal to the emperor has done!"

Wang Shoude took a quick look, and suddenly he stayed in place as if struck by lightning.

His face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up! This is a frame-up!"

Wang Shoude immediately uttered a piercing shout, which startled Li Chunyou and everyone else.

Cai Mao's heart trembled.

Ever since the Luojing University case happened, Cai Mao began to suspect that Wang Shoude was behind it.

He wasn't sure if Li Chunyou was directly involved.

However, he knew that the Luojing University case was a failed political confrontation.

The reason is simple, the timing is wrong.

The current foreign enemies of the Great Song Dynasty are all resting at halftime, and there is a huge buffer space for the internal political crisis. The Zhao family can fully withstand greater political turmoil, and even a big purge of the old school is possible.

However, if the Luojing University case is postponed for two years, even if the Zhao family finds Wang Shoude's evidence, they may not be in a hurry to act.

In a word: Playing political games in Jingkang for five years may lead to a miserable death, because the Zhao family has nothing to fear.

Cai Mao closed his eyes, his whole body trembling.

He was completely disappointed with Li Chunyou and others, and hated the prince for being too weak.

If the prince does not show up today, there will still be room for maneuver in the prince's situation. As long as the prince is kept, the core of the old party will be preserved.

Cai Mao seemed to be 20 years older all of a sudden, showing signs of exhaustion.

He looked at Zhao Guan's house, and for a moment, he felt in a trance that there seemed to be an invisible push behind him, controlling the whole situation and driving the people inside crazy.

Li Chunyou, Wang Shoude and others are definitely extremely intelligent people. They have great influence in the academic field and are proficient in political power.

It is not easy to climb to their position.

But everyone has weaknesses.

The weakness of common people is that they are satisfied with the enjoyment in front of them. They only need to give them a little short-term and illusory pleasure, and they can be addicted all day long.

The weakness in the middle is the desire to climb up, as long as they are given an illusory opportunity, they can throw all their belongings into it without hesitation.

The weakness above is undoubtedly ambition, and if they are given a chance to control the situation, they will expose it themselves.

"Your Majesty! This is a false accusation against my minister!"

From the beginning to the present, everyone's nerves were tense. When such a confession came suddenly, Wang Shoude panicked, and he was no longer as calm and calm as before.

"It's Qin Hui! It's Qin Hui who framed my subject!" Wang Shoude pointed at Qin Hui and cursed, "Qin Hui, you framed Zhongliang and turned black and white! God and man are all angry! You want to destroy my Song Dynasty!"

Qin Hui stood there without saying a word, as innocent as a white lotus.

Zhao Ning obviously had no patience to tear him down. He asked Wang Shoude so many things before, and he wanted Wang Shoude to portray himself as a good person with good morals in front of everyone.

Then tear him apart in public.

This is to punish the heart!

And this kind of punishment has only just begun, one by one!

He wants to punish the hearts of these guys who are "full of doctrine and full of business in their hearts", and the hearts of the opposition all over the world.

He drew out his sword. At that moment, all the ministers were frightened and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, the court is the place where the emperor and ministers discuss politics, how can you draw your sword..."

"Shut up! I will settle your accounts with them one by one today!"

While speaking, Zhao Guan's sword had already reached Wang Shoude's neck: "Read."

Wang Shoude was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, his hands were shaking, and he began to read the contents of the confession quickly and incoherently.

As soon as this content was read out, the officials who were about to collectively coerce fell silent instantly.

As Wang Shoude read more and more, everyone was so shocked that he didn't dare to say another one.

After finishing the reading, there was a complete silence in the hall.

"Wang Shoude." Zhao Guanjia put away his sword, "Shoude, what a pity, this name..."

"Your daughter, personally admitted her relationship with Hu Weizhi, and personally admitted that you sent people to kill Hu Weizhi." Zhao Ning's tone had returned to calm, but this calm was so cold that it made people shiver.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't even believe it. The former magistrate of Henan Province and the current minister of the Ministry of Rites would dare to send someone to assassinate the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

Every word of Zhao Guan's family can be clearly heard.

Li Chunyou on the side quickly moved away from Wang Shoude.

The white lotus Qin Hui came out to make up for the knife again at this time, and he presented another confession: "Your Majesty, I was also murdered by gangsters more than a month ago. Here is the gangster's confession."

The ministers were even more startled when they heard this.

Zhao Guan's family took it over, and Qin Hui said: "According to the confession of these gangsters, they are students of Songyang Academy. They assassinated the minister in order to avenge Wang Zhi, the judge of the Si Yamen Zhidu who was transferred on the Northwest Beijing Road."

Zhao Guanjia knowingly asked, "Why?"

"Then Wang Zhi embezzled [-] guan in the Shaanxi pension case. He was taken to the capital by the minister and asked to be executed later."

Zhao Guanjia asked again: "What does the court's punishment of corrupt officials have to do with Songyang Academy?"

Qin Hui said: "Wang Zhi once gave lectures at Songyang Academy, and he was loved by many students."

"How unreasonable! In this way, the students support him, but they don't even care about the court's laws?" Zhao Guanjia was furious again.

Qin Hui said again: "Your Majesty, there is a deeper reason behind this."

"What is the reason?"

"Na Hu Weizhi is also a student of Songyang Academy." With one sentence, Qin Hui led the assassination of Qin Hui, which seemed to have nothing to do with Wang Shoude, to personnel matters related to Wang Shoude.

Everyone's hearts tightened again.

Gu Changzhi, Liu Shi and the others turned pale.

Zhao Ning asked with a cold face: "What do you mean?"

"Hu Weizhi of Songyang Academy was instructed by Wang Shoude to assassinate Li Ruoshui who was promoting new learning in Luojing, and his minister was also assassinated by students of Songyang Academy. Obviously the same person!"

As soon as Qin Hui's words came out, the situation was finally completely reversed.

But it's not over yet, the reversal of the situation has just begun.

The theory of punishing the heart has only just begun.

Chapter 443 Punishment! (third change)

However, Wang Shoude couldn't argue with his own words. Who told him to send someone to assassinate Li Ruoshui has become an established fact.

Even if the assassination of Qin Hui was not ordered by him, it has become him now.

"One person assassinated two ministers of the current court." A sneer appeared on Zhao Guanjia's face, staring at Wang Shoude, "What a good way! Where is your self-restraint and restoration of propriety to stop the chaos?"

Wang Shoude couldn't say a word.

"It's one thing in front of me, another thing behind my back." Zhao Guanjia took a glance, those aggressive officials just now didn't dare to meet Zhao Guanjia's eyes.

Those officials who praised Wang Shoude before were also speechless.

After a short period of silence, Gu Changzhi jumped out and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Expose this man's true colors, otherwise all the ministers will still be deceived by him!"

Li Chunyou also jumped out: "Yes! Your Majesty's holy candle shines all over the world, his eyes are like torches, Wang Shoude has deep selfishness, and he caused chaos in the court, and the anger of both men and gods!"

Wang Shoude stared at Li Chunyou and said angrily, "You! You despicable and shameless person! It's you..."

Without waiting for Wang Shoude to speak, Li Chunyou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person is treacherous and cunning. If he is exposed on the spot, he may become angry from embarrassment, and he will definitely accuse others indiscriminately!"

Wang Shoude pointed at Li Chunyou and said angrily, "You..."

"Your Majesty, please execute this person immediately, so as to set the court in order!"

Others also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please execute Wang Shoude as soon as possible, so as to rectify the court!"

Zhao Ning said unhurriedly: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Let me explain everything clearly today."

Prince Zhao Chen was completely stunned, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him at all.

Wang Shoude is obviously a great Confucian in Luojing, and he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. When he talked to him last time, he was still gentle and dignified.

Why did he become the murderer behind the assassination of the court officials in the blink of an eye?

And these people, who were praising Wang Shoude just now, why did they start to trample on Wang Shoude again in less than a cup of tea?

When the situation reached this point, Cai Mao finally realized that all this might really be the Zhao official's game.

He stood there, motionless, only feeling that he had lost and had nothing to say.

Qin Hui stood up again, and he said: "Your Majesty, the case of Luojing University is also related to the students of Songyang Academy. According to the news from Luojing, it was at the gate of Luojing University that day that they fought with the candidates. Some of them are students of Songyang Academy."

"What do you mean by your words?"

Qin Hui said: "Songyang Academy students assassinated Shangshu, they were instigated by others, and the case of Luojing University was obviously instigated by others."

With a few words, Qin Hui shifted the focus to the Luoyang case. This incident not only affects Tokyo, but its influence is spreading rapidly, affecting all walks of life.

"Nonsense! Absolutely impossible!" Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Prince Zhao Chen walked out quickly, staring at Qin Hui angrily, it was the first time he felt that Qin Hui was so vicious.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Chen almost yelled at Qin Hui.

Cai Mao finally stood up, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already obtained the evidence for this matter, let Qin Shangshu finish."

"Qin Hui! You are talking nonsense! Confused black and white! Sowing discord!" The 14-year-old Zhao Chen burst into anger, and he was full of passion and jealousy, as if he wanted to swallow Qin Hui alive, "Are you going to put those scholars to death! You want to destroy my Song Dynasty!"

"Your Highness!" Cai Mao continued to dissuade.

Zhao Guanjia said calmly: "Cai Xianggong, if you let him continue, he already has something to say."

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, the prince is young and doesn't understand the world."

Cai Mao actually knew that the Zhao official family had given the prince many opportunities, and every time the prince said a word today, the Zhao official family would come out and interrupt him.

But the prince is really young and vigorous!

Zhao Ning said: "If you work in the Ministry of Officials, you can't take it easy with your youthful vigor."

Zhao Chen said: "Your Majesty! Qin Hui is lying!"

Qin Hui didn't argue with Zhao Chen, he just stood there without speaking.

He knew that the prince in front of him stood up and said these words today, and the ending was already doomed.

He was glad that he didn't bet on the prince again, and he was glad that he had separated from the prince.

Zhao Ning said, "Where is the evidence?"

At this moment, Gao Qiu came out and said, "I have something to say."

"Say."

"The students of Songyang Academy stopped the new school exam in Luoyang because they were bewitched by Kong Fan."

Gao Lian's words brought the focus directly to the Confucian people.
