Drunk old voice

love only one

When the battle between Prince Yu and Prince Jing was in full swing in the capital, Zhu Yue didn't care to pay attention. It wasn't that he didn't want to know, but that he was in trouble.I thought that nearly a year had passed, and the matter of the private cannon workshop would be over, but ever since his personal entourage was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhu Yue was always worried that he would be the next one.

Taking advantage of the New Year's walk, Zhu Yue visited Chi Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Chi Xu was upright, but not unkind.Chi Xu, who was born in a prominent family, has an oblique relationship with Zhu Yue, just as he has such a relationship with many people.When things happen, I won't add insult to injury, and I can help you out once you think about it.

When the two came to the study, Zhu Yue spoke first. Anyway, there was no need to beat around the bush. Chi Xu, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, must have known, "Master Chi, I heard that the Ministry of Punishments is still investigating private cannon workshops."

"Come here to inquire about news from Chi?" Chi Xu smiled meaningfully.

Zhu Yue had no choice but to put down his posture and beg, "Lord Chi, Chi Lang, I can't run away, please give me a letter."

"Well, since you know what's in your mind, why bother to ask again, let alone that Cai Quan and Mrs. Cai are in charge." There is no need for Chi Xu to be in trouble, but one is that the matter is big and involves party disputes, and the other is that Cai Quan is stern and selfless. Can't help.

Zhu Yue didn't come here for favoritism, "I know you can't be partial, I just ask one more question."

"For the sake of acquaintance since childhood, you can ask." If Zhu Yue hadn't been Yu Wang's wife and brother, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation.

"When will Cai Quan report to His Majesty?" Zhu Yue asked.

This question is irrelevant, so Chi Xu told Zhu Yue, "It may be tomorrow or the day after, but it will be just one or two days."

"Chi Lang, thank you very much." Zhu Yue saluted and thanked.

"Zhu Lang, why did you do it back then?" Chi Xu also felt mixed feelings, if the children of the aristocratic family didn't join in, they would always be able to enjoy wealth and honor in peace.

"Oh, it's useless to say more." What can Zhu Yue say, if he starts again, he will still choose this way.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yue went to the palace to ask Emperor Liang to see His Majesty before Cai Quan from the Ministry of Punishment.Although it was still during the New Year's Eve, Emperor Liang still had to deal with some urgent government affairs.Zhu Yue has a title and a position, so he was naturally summoned.

When Zhu Yue saw Emperor Liang, he knelt down and pleaded guilty without saying a word, "I am guilty."

"It's Chinese New Year, what's the matter?" Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Yue still didn't say much, and directly submitted the correspondence with Yu Wang, only saying: "Submit the evidence of incrimination."

"Are you surrendering yourself?" Emperor Liang frowned, took a stack of letters from Gao Zhan, and opened the first letter, which was ordered by King Yu to blow up the private artillery workshop, and a fire arose in his heart.He glanced at it casually, and it was written about the illegal deeds ordered by Yu Wang to Zhu Yue.He dropped the letter paper and looked at Zhu Yue with fiery eyes, "You didn't surrender yourself, you came to complain."

"I don't dare. Mr. Cai of the Ministry of Punishment has already found out, and he will report to His Majesty soon. I am willing to accept all the crimes and never contaminate anyone else." After Zhu Yue finished speaking, he could not afford to kneel.

"Are you willing?" Emperor Liang softened his tone a little, and the royal family's face must not be damaged.

Zhu Yue bowed again, "I am willing, even if I die, I will not regret it."

"Finally, what are you going to exchange?" Of course Emperor Liang understood what Zhu Yue meant.If he does not agree, he can also prevent Cai Quan from finding King Yu, but coercion will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers, and it is best for Zhu Yue to volunteer.

"I implore Your Majesty to forgive the Zhu family." Zhu Yue said

In the eyes of Emperor Liang, the Zhu family is still not ranked high, so let it go, "Well, it's your business, it has nothing to do with them."

"I thank the emperor for your kindness. Your Majesty." Zhu Yue bowed three times, but still did not get up.

Emperor Liang saw that Zhu Yue still had something to say, and raised his hand to signal, "Speak."

Zhu Yue hesitated and said, "I implore Your Majesty to take pity on my sister, a woman."

"Prince Yu is here, so Concubine Yu is fine." An ignorant woman is not in the eyes of Emperor Liang.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness again." Zhu Yue bowed four times.

Emperor Liang pointed to the letter and asked, "Well, are they all here?"

"Yes, I have submitted all of them." Zhu Yue didn't stay, because if Emperor Liang protected him, any letter would be useless, and he had already got what he wanted.

"Okay, let's go down." His Majesty waved Zhu Yue away, and picked up the stack of letters to read again.

"My minister retire."

Exiting the gate of the palace, Zhu Yue was covered in sweat. He had never faced the coercion of Emperor Liang alone, and he wanted to retreat but could not hesitate in the slightest.Zhu Yue also knew that his death was not far away, and the case of the private cannon shop alone was already an unforgivable crime.What's more, Emperor Liang didn't want the world to know about the lending of the Dali Temple prison to Xuan Jingsi.If he doesn't take today's step, he may survive, but he will definitely be dismissed from office.Now it is not a loss to save Zhu's lintel with his life.If I can protect my sister again, I will earn money.

The winter noon sun shines on his body, warm, Zhu Yue walks home step by step, and he has to explain clearly, don't sue, don't need to dredge, he is doomed.

When Cai Quan interrogated Zhu Yue, he encountered the first time in his life that he had no solution.Although Emperor Liang ordered a thorough investigation, it was completely broken when it came to Zhu Yue.

After reviewing and re-examining for a long time, Zhu Yue only had one sentence, "All guilt, full confession. Master, no."

Cai Quan was still presenting the facts and reasoning, "Zhu Yue, you have no motive to blow up the private gun shop."

"Personal grievances." Zhu Yue said casually.

Cai Quan was furious, stared at Zhu Yue and said, "It's nonsense. Zhu Yue, Mr. Zhu, don't force me to be rough."

"I have been an official in the same dynasty for so many years, so Mr. Cai wants to use torture." Zhu Yue asked back.He will never let go, but he has been pampered since he was a child, so he is really afraid of suffering.

Cai Quan just said that if torture is used, the confession will lose its credibility, he can't do it, he can only understand it with emotion, "Zhu Yue, do you think you can get gratitude from His Royal Highness for taking all the blame? ?”

"I don't understand Master Cai." Zhu Yue didn't answer the topic at all.

Cai Quan had no choice but to soften his tone, "Why bother Master Zhu?"

Zhu Yue smiled wryly and shook his head, showing a little sincerity, "Lord Cai, as a dying person, I would like to advise you. The imperial court is far more complicated than you think, and it is not just black and white."

"I believe in the justice of heaven." Cai Quan stood upright, upright and fearless.

"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha..." Zhu Yue sincerely hoped that Cai Quan could keep this pure heart forever.

In the end, Cai Quan was defeated in this case.Zhu Yue blew up the private cannon workshop because of personal grievances, ignored the people, disregarded the law, and sentenced to beheading.His title was inherited by his nephew, and none of the Zhu family was implicated.This is the result in the eyes of the world, but it is another matter in the eyes of Emperor Liang.After carefully looking through the letter submitted by Zhu Yue, it is natural to find that it was King Yu who came forward and Wei Zheng was able to be imprisoned in Dali Temple.If the collusion between King Yu and Xia Jiang is confirmed, then there is no misunderstanding and cannot be tolerated.

The author has something to say: the original Minister of the Ministry of Justice was Cai Quan, but the author felt that his qualifications and background were not enough, so he arranged for Cai Quan to be the deputy, and the original character was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.This character has been paved the way from the very early chapters, and it was not added suddenly.
