Chapter 954: Iron Evidence
An inexplicable sarcasm appeared on Chen Kaizhi's face: "What you must not guess is that I was not bothering the Empress Dowager. In fact, I had fallen into a misunderstanding before, that is, now it seems that if you were Yang Zheng, then you would definitely regret working with me, but I forgot one thing. In your eyes, I was just your pawn. People like you who thought they were smart will never look down on others. Therefore, you only think that if you use me, I will deal with the Emperor.
The Empress Dowager, who killed 1,000 enemies, and suffered 800 damages himself. At that time, you can easily kill me with your backhand. You even think that even if I ascend the throne, it is nothing more than an eleven, because in your heart, I have long believed that I am just a new tool for you. Even if I can ascend the throne, the Yang family in Guanzhong will be enough to make me anxious, let alone, today I can quickly get rid of the Empress Dowager, stabilize the court, pacify Guanzhong, and even... Today, I can threaten your Yang family."
"All of this is your mistake! It is precisely because you made such a huge mistake that you want to make the best of your efforts, and the only way to remedy is to kill me."
Chen Kaizhi's laughter was cold.
And the hall was already in an uproar.
The ministers felt that what Chen Kai said was incredible.
Chen Yishou seemed even more nervous, while King Jing Chen Yixing seemed calm.
Chen Kaizhi continued: "When I was in Jibei, I learned that Yang Qing's family was still in Luoyang. This is why I rushed back to Luoyang as soon as possible. I have been thinking about who Yang Qing's family is and who... I am making trouble behind the scenes, what do he want to do? Since he wants to get rid of me, then... how can I control the situation in the world?"
"You know, it is actually very simple to get rid of me, but the most rare thing is that if I die, then Da Chen's power will eventually fall into the hands of whom."
"If the power is lost, it will be more than worth the loss to Yang Qing's family. So you tried your best to order people to steal gunpowder from Feiyu Peak, right? Only by stealing gunpowder there can you get rid of me and frame King Jing. Not only that, you also bribed the eunuchs around King Jing and pointed all the evidence at King Jing, and Hong En in the inner kitchen. I think it is yours. Even the Minister of Justice..."
Chen Kaizhi's eyes were like sharp knifes, looking at Wu Mengru, the Minister of Justice. Wu Mengru shivered, and he lowered his head.
Chen Kaizhi laughed and said, "This Wu Mengru should have won you a lot. You guys have joined forces to create a trap, which is to hope that everyone in the world will believe that King Jing may be a rebel!"
King Ruyang also laughed: "Your Majesty, you're really joking. Does Your Majesty think that Xiao Wang doesn't know what kind of friendship between Your Highness and Your Majesty? Your Majesty can't believe others, but you will never easily doubt King Jing. Since Your Majesty believes in Chen Yixing well, then... Your Majesty keeps saying that Xiao Wang is trying his best to frame Chen Yixing, but Your Majesty has always trusted Chen Yixing. Then, wouldn't this be wasted on my efforts to do this? In Your Majesty's heart, is it so stupid?"
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other.
At first, although they thought that Your Majesty's words were a bit bizarre, His Majesty's words were so convincing that it seemed... not like groundlessness.
And King Ruyang's rebuttal is indeed reasonable. If King Ruyang wants to frame others, it would be fine. Who doesn't know that Prince Jing and His Majesty have long been in conflict with each other. His Majesty's trust in Prince Jing is probably greater than that of the vast majority of people in this palace. Since this plan of disagreement has no effect, King Ruyang is a shrewd conspirator as His Majesty said, so how could he be so stupid that he framed Prince Jing? Isn't this shooting himself in the foot?
Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly: "This is the most clever step in your plan, because you don't need to make me doubt King Jing. You just need to make everyone in the world think that King Jing is suspicious of the rebellion. Because at this time, you will secretly confuse the party and rebel, take the opportunity to enter the palace and kill me. Once I die, the court and the country are shocked, and the ministers must find someone who can take charge of the overall situation. I am dead. King Zhao is far away in Jibei. As for King Liang and others, what kind of virtue can you do to take charge of the overall situation. The most promising King Jing will definitely be the most suitable candidate for everyone. However, once the people in the world suspect, he will be the leader behind the killing me. Even if there is no evidence in the world, who is willing to let King Jing take charge of the overall situation?"
"Then, after all, I have calculated that you are the only one who can be supported by others. You are mixed with the ministers and when the rebels arrive, you can still hide your identity. Once the rebels kill me, you can stand up as King Ruyang and stabilize the situation inside and outside the palace. King Ruyang, among the royal family, has the highest seniority, who dares not to obey you?"
"This... is all your plans. The purpose of framed King Jing is to completely kick King Jing away so that he cannot exert influence afterwards; pretending to be King Ruyang is because of this identity. At the right time, for example, today, you can still come out as a royal family and get the support of all the prefectures and officials in the world. I think now... your rebels have already sharpened their knives. They will pretend that scholars besiege Luoyang Palace, and they will take the opportunity to enter the palace to protect the palace, come here, and kill me in the chaos. At that time, there will be chaos in the palace, and you can stand up in time to stabilize the rebels and ministers. Yang Qing's family, do you still want to deny it now, right?"
King Ruyang was silent.
But obviously, he never admitted it.
If it is true as Chen Kaizhi said, this is indeed a good plan. Scholars surrounded Luoyang Palace, which was on the surface to force the palace, but in fact, they were making a statement. The so-called frame-up of King Jing is not to make Chen Kaizhi suspect King Jing at all, but to remove King Jing's influence. If at this time, the rebels will mobilize imperial edicts and keep sayings, they will enter the palace to protect the palace. As long as the palace is in chaos, then the emperor's life and death will be in their hands.
In this process, as long as Chen Kai dies and King Ruyang is in power, the responsibility for killing Chen Kaizhi can be taken to King Jing or the Warriors Camp.
You can kill people, and after killing people, you can suppress the court and the country. King Ruyang is the one who makes the most profit.
"Rebels..." The ministers suddenly changed their qualities. If His Majesty was right, if there were really rebels coming, then...
Many people looked around uneasyly, and each of them felt a little chilling in their necks.
Chen Kaizhi was still standing, looking at King Ruyang coldly. King Ruyang's eyes were surprisingly quiet. He said word by word: "Don't Your Majesty think he is too whimsical?"
Chen Kaizhi said sarcastically: "Is it my whimsical idea? Then..." Chen Kaizhi suddenly looked at Wu Mengru, the Minister of Justice, fiercely: "Wu Mengru, you say, you have gained so much benefit from the Yang Qing family, or have been deceived by him, do you think I don't know?"
Wu Mengru's face turned green with fear.
If King Ruyang is really Yang Zheng, the psychological quality of such a person must be very good. Most people can still deny it calmly even if they are as proof as a mountain.
But it does not mean that everyone's psychological qualities are so strong, at least... In Chen Kaizhi's view, Wu Mengru, the Minister of Justice, pointed all the blame at King Jing, was much weaker than Yang Zheng.
"At this point, do you still want to deny it? I'm afraid that at this time, the rebels who say they are protecting themselves have already been dispatched. You... are snakes and rats in a nest, trying to murder me, but now they dare not admit it?"
"No...nothing..." Wu Mengru was so scared that she trembled and hurriedly said, "I am wronged, I am wronged, I am wronged, I am not wronged, I am not wronged, I am not wronged."
Chen Kaizhi sneered: "Unfortunate? Do you think that when the rebels enter the palace in the name of escorts, you can still share the fruits of victory like Yang Zheng? Do you think that this person who always claims to be the King of Ruyang needs many people to know his background? You are wrong. Although you are the chess piece he used, because you have so many things for him, when the rebels come in, not only will they take advantage of the chaos, but you will be eliminated together, because... you know too much."
Wu Mengru was so scared that his body trembled. Chen Kaizhi's words were obviously exaggerated, but a person like him was in charge of the name of punishment. He had never read the sensational things in the mountainous files. Therefore, he had already read human nature clearly. Now, after Chen Kaiyi reminded him, he subconsciously looked at King Runan. This was a normal mentality, and seemed to want to find the answer he wanted from King Runan.
But the expression on King Runan's face was impossible to see.
Chen Kaizhi sneered: "Then, come and take Wu Mengru and kill him without any hesitation!"
The four-character word "kill" is not slander.
Wu Mengru suddenly felt depressed, his body trembled, and shouted: "I... I have to do it, Your Majesty, I have to... I have to... I have to... I have to take the elixir, but if I don't take it for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over. If I don't have the elixir, I will have no way to survive. Yang... Yang... Yang Zheng agreed to me that not only will I invite me to the cabinet after the matter is completed... I also said... I also said..."
Suddenly, the hall was in an uproar.
Immortal medicine...
It's this elixir again.
The original Yan Shenggong was related to the immortal medicine. Later, many people were found to be related to the immortal medicine. Now, even the Minister of Justice has been touched with the immortal medicine. This shows that in order to control others, Yang Zheng pulled many people into the water.
