Chapter six hundred and eighty second: the world turned upside down
Wu Zhi's words are resounding and particularly inspiring.
Even the Empress Dowager could not help but be moved.
She couldn't help but wonder, the case was obviously so serious, why should she find herself to make the decision?
Is it necessary to make decisions about this matter?
She smiled, but this smile showed displeasure, and her sharp eyes looked straight at Chen Kaizhi.
It seemed that King Chen Rujin of Liang had seen through the thoughts of the Empress Dowager, and took this opportunity to fall to the ground, and said excitedly: "Empress, this case is clearly clear after being tried by the Sixth Division. It is clear that Chen Kaizhi has always been in trouble to cover up his crime of frame-up."
"What's more, since the establishment of this Jinyiwei, it has done all kinds of evil in the capital, which has caused panic. Chen Kaizhi's move is to hide their sins. Empress, now the people of the country are suspicious and the government is frightened. If they let this continue, the country will be in danger."
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people said, "Please be careful with the Queen Mother."
Wu Zhi said even more excitedly: "Has the Empress ever thought that the Jinyiwei was ordered to be established in the palace. Now, it is rampant and people in the world are criticizing it. They are not scolding Chen Kaizhi, but in the palace."
The Empress Dowager's eyes gradually became colder, and she lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyebrows frowned, as if she was thinking. Wu Zhi's words hit her vital point, and her face couldn't help but sink.
She has always maintained the majesty of the royal family. Because of this, when she learned that the eldest princess dared to do such a scandal, her first reaction was to beat her. Now, it seems... she is really brave and has reached the point of framed the prince-consort and framed the loyal and kind. She thought deeply about it. Today, they even dared to frame the prince-consort. What else in this world is they dare not do?
When the Empress Dowager thought about this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes, her eyes were sharp, and she fell on Chen Kaizhi, and said word by word: "Chen Kaizhi, the Ai family has heard everything they should hear. The Ai family wants to hear you now, and you can tell me what's going on?"
Chen Kaizhi has been observing the changes of everyone. Although he knew that the situation was not good, these people colluded with each other and were really airtight. But at this time, he took a deep breath and the more he was, the more he could not show his timidity.
Facing the questioning of the Empress Dowager, Chen Kaizhi was obviously very calm and said slowly: "Mr. Wu has provided so much evidence, and each department and department has insisted again. I... I have no choice but to say... I want to ask the Empress to think twice. Six Departments have collected so many people and evidence. I dare to ask, they can decide the case in just a few days. Can they get so much evidence?"
"It is natural that all six corpses intervene, it's better to be faster." Wu Zhi had a calm face and refuted Chen Kaizhi seriously.
Chen Kaizhi's defense seemed a little powerless, but instead made Wu Zhi stop giving in. Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sneer in his heart before saying, "That's right, the Six Divisions work together to do anything easily. I agree with this."
This is like shooting oneself in the foot with a stone.
First, we talked about how the Six Divisions could do things so quickly, but in the end we had to admit that the Six Divisions are the six most important ministries of the court, and it is not easy for them to do what they work together to do.
But at this time, Chen Kaizhi raised a question: "Then, if the Six Sects work together to examine a case and list so much evidence, it will be very easy. But if the Six Sects collude together and want to escape the crime of the Prince Consort of Guang'an, then can we do it perfectly!"
It is easy for you to do good things, but isn’t it easy for you to do bad things?
Just like today, you are so confident and seamless. Isn’t this your ability?
This is heart-killing.
Suddenly, Wu Zhi and others were about to burst into anger, and everyone's face looked very ugly.
Chen Kaizhi is slandering them.
This is simply disgusting.
Now that you, Chen Kaizhi, is about to die, dare to slander such a slander and even want to pour dirty water on others. This is simply too much.
Wu Zhi spoke without hesitation and said: "I am full of reputation and I will never be able to bear such insults as Chen Kaizhi. I have never done anything that violates the rules and regulations since I entered the officialdom. Today, Chen Kai is at a desperate end and is desperate. I ask the Empress to make the decision."
Zhou Jin was even more angry: "Now that the evidence is as strong as a mountain, Chen Kaizhi wants to use this to slander me. The Empress knows what kind of person I am. If I do not punish Chen Kaizhi severely today, I will be ashamed and have no face to serve the court."
Everyone was talking and screaming.
However, Chen Kaizhi's words made the Empress Dowager think.
The six ministries work together to collude...
If so, then all the evidence of guilt in your hands can be arranged seamlessly.
But then, the Empress Dowager dispelled this idea. It was absolutely impossible. How could the six ministries collude? Even if the three ministries were held for trial, it was fair and just, because there would never be any incident in which the three ministries colluded. Moreover, these people, the Empress Dowager, had some impressions of them, and they could be called honest and dedicated. Although these were all the old things from more than ten years ago, they thought that the country was difficult to change their nature and could not be like this.
She squinted her eyes, stared at Chen Kaizhi, and scolded sternly: "Chen Kaizhi, you must not talk nonsense. Do you still have any real evidence? Without real evidence, you are just a false accusation."
At this time, the Empress Dowager changed her attitude. While she said this, she couldn't help but be disappointed with Chen Kaizhi. Did she really see the wrong person? Because of her great achievements, she gradually became domineering and did so many stupid things?
Chen Kaizhi hit a nail.
In fact, everyone has understood that even if Chen Kaizhi is extremely smart, he is unable to defend himself in the face of this ironclad evidence. After all, what can you do if you say a flower in your mouth?
This is called a cook without rice.
Chen Zhijin's face had already revealed a cold look. This was his first fire after he assisted in the administration. If it was burned strongly, his status would be stable.
As for Wu Zhi and others, they looked righteous.
The four great masters, each thinking about it.
Queen Mother Mu smiled and no one could guess what she was thinking. But there was anger burning in her heart. She believed in Chen Kaizhi, after all, she was her son. Although she had never recognized each other, she had never taught Chen Kaizhi.
But she believed in Chen Kaizhi in her bones, and her son would not do such a foolish thing.
Therefore, she concluded that someone must have wanted to punish Chen Kaizhi. Thinking of this, she felt very uncomfortable, as if she was burning and angry.
When the Empress Dowager saw Chen Kaizhi silent, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. At the beginning, she was very optimistic about Chen Kaizhi, but she never expected that Chen Kaizhi was really wrong this time. She first relied on her great achievements, but then she framed and framed her. An Jinyiwei, who could not have thought that so many things would have involved. If it weren't for the fact that the evidence was as strong as a mountain, she wouldn't believe it, but now, Chen Kaizhi still wanted to make a quibble.
She said coldly: "Chen Kaizhi, if it weren't for you, the Ai family might have been dead. The Ai family remembered your love. Has the Ai family treated you badly since they arrived in Luoyang?"
Chen Kai's way: "The Empress is so kind to me, I am so proud of me, I..."
"You know why you do such a thing!" The Empress Dowager showed disappointment. She said with heartache: "Why did you become like this? You are young and have such credit, both civil and military. You should have been the pillar of the court, Wei Qing of our Great Chen, Huo Qubing, Wen can maintain peace and martial arts, but have you been reduced to this in just a few days? The Ai family really misjudged you, misjudged you..."
It involves the reputation of the palace and such a serious crime. Now there are so many people talking about it. In front of this ironclad evidence, the Empress Dowager gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath: "It is said that people will become, and the Ai family can still recognize people..."
"Empress..." Chen Kaizhi actually interrupted the Empress Dowager.
At this moment, Chen Rujin, Wu Zhi and others were already very happy.
Chen Kaizhi dared to interrupt the Empress Dowager, which was even more guilty. This guy seemed to be anxious and in chaos.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was even more displeased, and she was about to say something.
Chen Kaizhi said seriously: "This case has not been settled yet. Why don't the Empress punish me after the dust of this case is settled? Now it is all testimony from the ministers and the Sixth Division, but the Empress Guang'an Prince Consort has not yet tried it personally. I beg the Empress to interrogate the Empress Guang'an Prince Consort."
This is the most important procedure for imperial examination.
But in the hearts of many people, the Guang'an Prince Consort no longer needs to be tried.
The Prince Consort Guang'an is not a fool, how could he admit it?
Chen Kaizhi said these words at this time, and he felt a little stubborn about not seeing the coffin and not crying, which could easily arouse the Empress Dowager's greater disgust.
Everyone felt that Chen Kaizhi was a little crazy.
The Empress Dowager's face was even colder, but she seemed to understand that if she didn't judge, Chen Kaizhi was unwilling to give up and simply...
She said sternly: "Okay, then I'll summon Guang'an's princess, but Chen Kaizhi, you must understand that the Ai family's favor is your personal favor. If this case is finalized, and if you violate the national law, the Ai family will never give up easily."
Chen Kaizhi's way: "Yes."
The prince-consort of Guang'an had already entered the palace. Once summoned, he was brought in by the eunuch. He was like a frightened little bird, especially when he saw the Empress Dowager, he did not dare to be arrogant. He hurriedly bowed: "My son, Jiang Xiaobai, have seen his mother."
The Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Xiaobai coldly: "After you say that, is it true that what Chen Kaizhi told me?"
Wu Zhi and others all smiled. Almost all fools could know the answer to this question. Prince Consort Guang'an is not mentally retarded, so how could it be true? In this world, no one would dig a hole and bury himself.
Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's...true..."
The word "true" comes out and the whole palace is in an uproar!
