"Sun Aiqing, you are seriously ill, so don't force yourself to go to court."

Emperor Longwu's face was a little uneasy. Sun Chuanting was ordered to ill. Now he came to court again. Wasn't that slap Emperor Longwu in the face?

"Long live, the old minister is safe."

After knocking, Sun Chuanting stood up and walked towards the head of the civil servant rank in a square step, but there was already Gao Hongtu standing there. The old guy Sun Chuanting suddenly glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Master Gao, please respect yourself!"

Gao Hongtu took a step back like a devil.

Then Sun Chuanting stood at the head of the civil servant class with a muffled groan. Gao Hongtu came to his senses and his face was flushed with shame.

After the rest of Qian Qianyi, Lu Daqi and Donglin officials finished their worship, they all stood back in the civil service class. Only Wang Pu did not return to the military general class, but went straight to the golden rank. Emperor Longwu and his ministers discovered that Wang Pu was hanging his sword with his hands on the hilt, his eyes were like torches, and his face was murderous.

Emperor Longwu was suddenly surprised, stood up instinctively from the imperial throne, and said tremblingly: "You, you...what do you want to do?"

The eunuch Zhang Zian on the side did not dare to neglect, and quickly rushed forward to block Emperor Longwu with his thin body.

Wang Pu's sharp eyes fell on Emperor Longwu's tender face like a knife, and a contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. After crossing the last level of golden stairs, he suddenly turned around and faced the magnificent hall, shouting sternly: "Come!"

This silence sounded like a thunder explosion, which made Emperor Longwu, Gao Hongtu and others buzzed.

"Chakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

There was an instant sound of neat footsteps outside the hall, which was the collision sound of the hard cowhide boots stomping on the blue bricks. When he heard this momentum, Emperor Longwu, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Wang Duo and others were so scared that their faces looked like earth. It was clearly the brigade of Central Army soldiers running forward.

Is Wang Puzhen going to rebel?

Emperor Longwu looked outside the hall gate with fear. The sound of uniform footsteps became louder and louder. Emperor Longwu felt that the ground under his feet began to tremble gently. In a flash, two teams of fully armed Central Army soldiers had run into the hall.

"Stand firm!"

The two officers running in the front spoke in unison and the two rows of Central Army soldiers entering the hall were stationed!

"stand at attention!"

"Look left and right...all!"

“Look forward…look!”

"After a moment!"

"stand at attention!"

The Central Army of the two squadrons regarded the huge Golden Palace as a schoolyard and performed military postures as if no one was around. This scene scared Emperor Longwu, Gao Hongtu and others to death. Several timid civil servants were already trembling all over and had a cold sweat.

Shi Kefa could no longer bear it and said angrily, "Wang Pu, you are showing off your martial arts power on the Golden Palace, what are you doing?"

"Master Shi!" Wang Pu said with a grim voice, "I know you are a clean official, and you are even more a tough guy, but I warn you not to stop me from taking people!"

"Take someone?" Shi Kefa said more and more angry, "Who is it?"

"snort!"

Wang Pu groaned, ignored Shi Kefa, and shouted in a fierce voice, "Take someone!"

"yes!"

At the order of the two officers, two teams of soldiers rushed up like tigers and wolves, pressing more than a dozen officials including Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Wang Duo and others to the ground. More than a dozen officials from the Donglin group were also pressed down, including Zhang Pu, the famous Fushe Alliance leader, and Chen Zhenhui, one of the four princes of Fushe.

"Wang Pu, you are rebelling against you!" Gao Hongtu said furiously, "I am the chief minister of the cabinet and the important minister of the court. What qualifications do you have to take on someone as a small governor of the five provinces? Do you still have the laws of the Ming Dynasty in your eyes, and do you still have the long live master? You are a traitor, you are unruly..."

Wang Pu waved his hand and said coldly: "Removed his chin!"

"yes!"

A soldier responded with a loud promise and raised his hand to remove Gao Hongtu's chin.

Shi Kefa couldn't see anymore, and his beard was so angry that he stood up, his nose was smoking, and he shouted sternly: "Wang Pu, no matter what, Gaoge Lao is, he is the chief minister of the cabinet. Even if he really violates the laws and regulations of the country, he still needs to be tried before he is convicted. You are a small governor of five provinces, why should you take the people as soon as you take them?"

"Clang!"

Amid the crisp sound of gold and iron rubbing, Wang Pu turned his hand and drew out his sword, pointing to Shi Kefa from a distance and said, "Master Shi, do you know what kind of sword this is and whose sword it is?"

Shi Kefa said sternly: "What sword?"

"It is the imperial Longquan sword of the late emperor!" Wang Pu said coldly, "On the night when Beijing City was trapped, my marquis once entered the palace to rescue the emperor. The late emperor thought that the capital had fallen and the king should go to trouble. He insisted on refusing to go into exile in Nanjing, but he gave this imperial Longquan sword to me. Eunuch Zhang, you are a person in the palace. See if this is the late emperor's sword?"

Zhang Zian did not dare to be negligent, so he rushed forward and took a closer look, and said in panic: "It is indeed the Longquan Sword used by the late emperor."

Shi Kefa disagreed and said, "Even if it was the sword of the late emperor, what could it mean?"

"Mr. Shi, while the former emperor gave this marquis Longquan sword, he also gave the ruthless emperor to kill the tyrant ministers and the treacherous ministers to seize the power of life and death! Not to mention that he wanted only Gao Hongtu..." Wang Pu said this, suddenly turned around and stared at Emperor Longwu fiercely, shouting with murderous aura, "Even if Master Long Sui made a mistake, this marquis has the right to kill him under the sword!"

"ah!"

Emperor Longwu said lightly. If Zhang Zian hadn't supported him quickly with his eyes and hands, he would have fallen to the ground.

Wang Pu said this half true and half false. This sword was indeed the Longquan sword used by Emperor Chongzhen. On the night when the city of Beijing was broken, Emperor Chongzhen used this sword to kill Concubine Tian and Princess Zhaoren. However, when he was about to kill Princess Changping, he could no longer take action and abandoned the sword and left. As a result, the sword was picked up by Wang Pu.

As for the killing of the foolish monarch and the killing of the treacherous ministers, Wang Pu was completely talking nonsense, but Shi Kefa and the others didn't know what happened in the Forbidden City at that time, so they could only listen to it and believe it simply.

Shi Kefa's arrogance was obviously shorter, and he frowned and said, "Even if the Marquis has the power to kill all the civil and military officials of the court and the Long Live Master, he cannot be taken for nothing, right? Although Mr. Gao pursued the wrong national policy, he was still honest as an official. Why should the Marquis say that he was a treacherous minister?"

"Why do you say they are treacherous ministers?" Wang Pu said sternly, "Okay, I will show you something to Lord Shi!"

After saying that, Wang Pu looked up and shouted, "Come on, present the things!"

Three Central Army soldiers walked into the hall with their pallets held their heads with their heads. They didn't know what was placed on the pallet, and they covered them with a white cloth. There were faint red marks on the white cloth. Three Central Army soldiers strode into the hall, put the pallet on the ground, and then lifted the white cloth.

Almost all the officials in the court were shocked, including Sun Chuanting, Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi. The pallets were filled with three bloody heads!

Wang Pu stretched out his hand and pointed at the three heads and said sternly: "This is the heads of the three generals of Jinshan, Linshan and Guanhai. The three of them led their troops to Guabu without the permission of the Ministry of War, intending to attack Nanjing in an open manner! Fortunately, this governor discovered it in time, and these three guys wanted to resist stubbornly and were killed on the spot!"

Shi Kefa's face changed drastically, which he didn't know, but he quickly guessed that it was related to Gao Hongtu.

Emperor Longwu, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Wang Duo and others had a look of ashes. They never thought that Jinshan, Linshan, Guanhai Three Guards would be dismantled so easily by Wang Pu, and even the three generals were killed on the spot.

Wang Pu said coldly: "Maybe Lord Shi has guessed it, that's right, the three guards were secretly transferred to Guawa by Gao Hongtu in the name of Emperor Long Sui. The traitor also secretly promised the three of them that as long as they control Nanjing, they would be promoted to general! Lord Shi, sir, what do you think Gao Hongtu wants to do?"

Shi Kefa was speechless. He knew that Gao Hongtu had always wanted to dismantle Wang Pu's Central Army, transfer Jinshan, Linshan, and Guanhai Three Guards' Army secretly entered Beijing.

"Please take Gao Hongtu and other criminals to prison, and the Ministry of Justice will be tried by Sun Ge Lao's meeting with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War!" Wang Pu said this, turned around and stared at Emperor Longwu with murderous aura, and asked sternly, "Long live, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay." Emperor Longwu was so scared that his legs were weak, and he nodded repeatedly, "Just as the Marquis of Jingnan said, three...three meetings to try Gao Hong's rebellion case."

"Master Shi, Master Gao." Wang Pu's eyes swept over Shi Kefa and Gao Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, like a knife, and said, "There is also an old man, let's prepare for the case."

On the afternoon of that day, the Ministry of Justice lobby.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Sun Chuanting, was in charge of the middle, the Minister of War, Shi Kefa, was in charge of the left, and the Minister of Justice, Gao Zhuo, was on the right. In addition to these three judges, of course, Wang Pu was also indispensable.

In fact, Wang Pu had already done a lot of work in secret. The so-called three-court trial was just a formality. The fact that the Minister of War Shi Kefa and Minister of Justice Gao Zhuo participated in the trial was just to take care of public opinion. Even if there were no Shi Kefa and Gao Zhuo, Wang Pu could still convict Gao Hongtu, but this would inevitably cause criticism.

But then again, even if Wang Pu did enough superficial writing, there would still be criticisms.

The first prisoner brought up was the chief guard of Guanhai Guard General Wang Decheng. The Minister of Justice Gao Zhuo picked up the gavel and patted it on the table. He shouted righteously: "The name of the prisoner?"

"The villain Wang Yun is the chief guard of the rebel general Wang Decheng."

"It's on record! You are not stationed by Guanhaiwei, why are you going to Guawa doing?"

"I heard from Wang Decheng that we were transferred to Beijing."

"I'm on record and transferred to Beijing? Whose order is received? Or is it from the Governor's Office or from the Ministry of War?"

"Not that we went to Beijing to protect Long Live..."

"What did you say!?"

"Uh, no... we were ordered by Ge Lao Sun."

"It's recorded!" Gao Zhuo said that, his eyes turned to Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa, and asked, "Georg Sun, Lord Shi, do you have anything else to ask?"

Sun Chuanting, Shi Kefa waved his hand, and Gao Zhuo turned around and said to the copywriter: "Carrange the copywriter and let the prisoner sign and seal it."

After pressing the fingerprints, two yamen runners took Wang Yun down. Then, Jinshan Guard General Li Qingsong and Linshan Guard General Zuo Ji's confidant servant were taken to the lobby. They also confessed to the fact that Gao Hongtu was transferred to Beijing in the name of Emperor Longwu.

Originally, the case should be settled here. Although the first criminal Gao Hongtu could not escape death, the remaining accomplices such as Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo were at most demoted or dismissed. When Gao Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, was about to announce the results of the trial in accordance with the Ming Dynasty Law, Wang Pu suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Gao, it's still early to close the case."

Gao Zhuo frowned and said, "Marty, the case is already very clear. Do you still need to be retried?"

Wang Pu sneered: "The case of Gao Hongtu is far from as simple as you think. Lord Gao, I will give you two more important witnesses. Come on, Yang Tingjian, the criminal, and Fan Wencheng!"

Footsteps sounded, and four murderous Central Army soldiers had already escorted Yang Tingjian and Fan Wencheng into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing that it was Yang Tingjian, the envoy sent by Gao Hongtu to Beijing to negotiate peace, Gao Zhuo was stunned. Gao Zhuo asked in confusion: "Didn't Lord Yang lead a delegation to Beijing to negotiate peace with Jiannu? Why..."

"Good question." Wang Pu said coldly, "Yang Tingjian, let's talk about it. How can Gao Hongtu asks you to go to Beijing to discuss peace with Jiannu?"

Yang Tingjian sighed and lowered his head and said, "Before leaving, Gaoge Lao repeatedly told him that the bottom line of this peace talk was to ced the territory north of the Yangtze River, and the condition was that no war would be allowed to begin within five years. If Jiannu took the opportunity to propose to kill the Marquis of Jingnan, the two parties agreed to take action details, and Jiannu sent troops to feint attack Shandong to attract the Marquis to lead the army to the expedition. Then Gaoge Lao took the opportunity to cut off the logistics supply of the Central Army and set the Marquis and the Central Army to death."

Shi Kefa, Gao Zhuo looked at each other, and a trace of horror flashed through his eyes.

If Yang Tingjian was not a traitor, if what he said was true, then Gao Hongtu's crime would be great! The three guards of the three guards who entered the capital could be charged with clearing the emperor, which might not be a rebellion. But if Gao Hongtu really had the intention to collude with Jiannu and frame Wang Pu and the Central Army, it would be a crime of treason!

If Gao Hongtu really has a treason, then he will not be the only one who killed him.

"Yang Tingjian!" Gao Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yang Tingjian smiled bitterly and said, "Everything that the criminal said is true, and he would rather sign and seal it."

Gao Zhuo found that Yang Tingjian showed no sign of being severely tortured, but asked: "Yang Tingjian, if you are threatened or are scolded, you can tell me..."

Yang Tingjian smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gao, the criminal is not afraid of death. Will he be threatened?"

Gao Zhuo had no choice but to sigh and said to the copywriter beside him: "Record everything the prisoner said just now, and then sign and seal it."

After signing and drawing, Yang Tingjian was taken down.

Wang Pu pointed to Fan Wencheng again and said, "The three presiding officials, this person has a bigger background. He was a student from Liaodong. He had already surrendered to the enemy as early as the Wanli period and became a dog slave of Jiannu. His name was Fan Wencheng. He was ordered by Dorgon to sneak into Nanjing a few months ago. He first incited Lu King Zhu Changfang to usurp the throne, and then took Zhu Changfang's handwritten letter to Wuchang to instigate Zuo Liangyu to raise an army. Zuo Liangyu was defeated. This guy ran to the side of the general Zhao Xin, the governor of Huguang, in an attempt to encourage Zhao Xin to support his troops and resolutely!"

Shi Kefa, Gao Zhuo looked at each other.
