Chapter 699: 271

The emperor sitting above was taken aback for a moment, then furious, stood up and scolded: "Ji Changze!!! You are trying to rebel and fail!!"
--boom!
A sharp arrow almost wiped his ears and pierced the wall behind him.
One more point, it fell on the face.
The emperor stiffened, watching Ji Changze retract his bow, shook his aching hand because of his injury, and laughed, still respecting him:
"As soon as the minister was injured, his arrow technique was a bit inaccurate. Your Majesty still sits and listens to the minister, lest the minister suffers the impression that he will shake his hand and hurt the dragon's body."
"You, you..." His heart was filled with great anger and frustration, but he could only sit down to save his life, holding back his anger.
In an instant, the situation was in the hands of Ji Changze.
That was obviously a literati, but he obtained the military power by pretending to be poor, and also received the support of these military powers. So grandiosely, he led the soldiers into the main hall of the upper court under the sight of the Manchurians.
It can be said that everyone present has never seen such a simple and rude rebellion.
All the civil and military officials are still standing here.
Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor didn't dare to move rashly, his reason came up, and his expectant eyes were cast on the courtiers standing below.
It stands to reason that the courtiers on the scene should come out and scold Ji Changze for such an upright conduct of such a rebellious thing, expressing his belief that he would rather die than surrender and Ji Changze's non-cooperation.
He was looking forward to this scene. If everyone is unwilling to give in, can Ji Changze kill all these people?
Since then, the emperor rekindled confidence in his heart, and hopefully waited for the courtiers to speak.
Courtier one: ""
Courtier 2: ""
Courtier Three: ""
There was an awkward silence.
The emperor thought he was deaf, and when he realized that no one from the Manchu dynasty civil servants stood up and sprayed Ji Changze, his anger could almost drown the entire hall.
However, in his anger, he did not realize that this embarrassing situation was due to his many years of operation. He who really dared to face the power and still made a sound was killed or demoted by him, and could leave a post in his hands. Yes, either the old fox or the timid.
How could they stand up in such a situation.
A few officials were a little uneasy under the emperor’s angry eyes, but when they saw the old gods standing in front of the old men, they all felt relieved and looked at their hearts, just as if they hadn’t noticed the above. .
These people are unreliable, they can only rely on their cronies over there.
The emperor's sight fell on Zhou Ru again.
however--
At this moment, Zhou was still emotionally immersed in Ji Changze, but his tongue was pulled out by an invisible hand, and it looked like a newly born quail, standing bound in front of the soldiers who filled the hall.
Not to mention opening your mouth to "deliver justice" for the emperor, even the courage to open your mouth to beg for mercy might not be accumulated.
Ji Changze followed the direction the emperor was looking at, his gaze also fell on Zhou Ru, the corners of his lips curled up, with a smile but a smile: "Your Majesty is worried that the ministers will be disadvantageous to Lord Zhou? You worry too much, the court rules, don't hurt Colleagues, don't fight wantonly, how could Weichen break the rules."
Zhou Ru shivered with fright and was asking for mercy, but suddenly remembered that he had just shot an arrow at Ji Changze's only daughter. Although the arrow was blocked, can he still live according to Ji Changze's actions?
Ji Changze's attitude towards him is so contemptuous that he must also believe that he dare not resist.
If he killed Ji Changze at this moment... wouldn't it be a great achievement to quell this chaos?
Anyway, if Ji Changze is in power, he can't please him. It's better to just fight. He is so arrogant, he may not be unable to get it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ru slowly moved his hands to his waist. While Ji Changze turned his back to him, he suddenly pulled off his belt, grabbed one hand with one hand, and slipped toward the front of the neck.
It should be foolproof.
But Ji Changze seemed to have eyes behind him. He turned around almost immediately when he violent. He saw only an edge in front of him. The next second, there was a sweetness in his throat.
--boom!
Zhou Ru fell to the ground, covering his neck that was constantly overflowing with blood, his body twitched a few times and there was no movement. After falling with his hands weakly, he penetrated his neck and only revealed a dagger with a handle outside.
Master Ji watched him condescendingly, before he squatted down, took out the dagger, wiped it with a handkerchief, and smiled and raised his eyes to look up at the pale emperor.
"Master Zhou knows that he is breaking the law, and the dynasty intends to murder his colleagues. Such a rebellious person will be dealt with by the Weichen."
The emperor had been above authority all his life. At this moment, being treated so oppressed by Ji Changze, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, stood up angrily, and personally accused:
"Ji Changze! What do you want to do!!!"
"Since I became the throne, I have been diligent in administration and loving the people, clear in internal affairs, benevolent and virtuous, and the people of the world love me and respect me. There has never been any wrongdoing. If you intend to rebel and want to replace me, then you are wrong! !"
"The princes from all over the world will never admit you, and the people under the world will only treat you as a chaser, and civil and military officials will not do anything for you. Do you think you can control the imperial city with military power? Even if you can succeed today, the most Only one month later, the princes will assemble a large army and approach the city. When that happens, I will watch your head fall to the ground!
"Ah."
The emperor's generous speech, Ji Changze listened, and sneered unceremoniously:
"Your Majesty is diligent and loving, kind and respectful?"
The irony in this statement can be heard by anyone.
He stood in the middle of the hall and said loudly:
"In the third year of Yuanshun, an envoy doctor named Mei Huan played, saying that your majesty should not be extravagant and build houses with gold and silver for fun. Your majesty should accept advice from the court and humbly rectify. Seven days later, Mei Huan died violently. ."
"In the four years of Yuanshun, your majesty personally conquered, chasing the enemy country all the way to Hegu, and smashing the three places in Huzhou for our dynasty. The old general Zhou Wu who has worked hard to persuade your majesty and talk to the poor and do not chase them. He insisted on going his own way, led his troops into Crane Valley, and fell into the trap of the enemy country, and 30,000 soldiers lived only two thousand."
The emperor changed his face suddenly, and his gaze looking at Ji Changze could hardly wait to bite him to death: "Shut up!!!"
Ji Changze didn't look at him at all, just continued to say:
"After returning to the camp, His Majesty ordered Zhou Wu to enter the Crane City with greed, led his troops into Crane City, executed on the spot, and exiled his family."
"This! This is your majesty's diligence and kindness!"
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, but the faces of all the officials were full of shock, and their eyes went over the soldiers who surrounded the entire hall, and fell on the face of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in disbelief.
Zhou Wu fought many victories for the Wen Dynasty, and his execution on that day made many people feel that it was a pity that he had to look at his past merits to spare him.
But never thought that the veteran general who had been a soldier in his life had actually died of injustice.
They looked at the master of this country, but saw the emperor trembling all over, his eyes were red, and he couldn't argue.
Ji Changze continues:
"In the fifth year of Yuanshun, His Majesty visited a woman with a husband in a private visit. She took a woman into the harem and was named a talented person. This is nothing, but it happened that the talented husband was alive and kicking three days later. ] The fire did not leave a living mouth, and naturally included the woman's biological son."
"After the woman learned about it, she intended to assassinate her. After being arrested, she went around publicizing her majesty's taking of his wife."
The things that had been being covered up were revealed one by one in front of so many people, and the emperor was already on the verge of collapse.
He stood up suddenly, swept the pen and ink on the table in front of him, accompanied by the sound of things falling, and when he:
"I told you to silence!!!"
Ji Changze stood steadily, without blinking his eyes, but still spoke these "old past events" in a faint tone.
"On that day, a hundred soldiers and 30 palace slaves died. Your Majesty said that assassins were in the palace. I don’t know if the family members of these personal servants knew that their deaths would be your majesty’s murder. I don’t know how to think."
"This is your majesty's love for the people and courtesy."
"Shut up!!! I order you to shut up!!!"
Ji Changze really closed his mouth this time.
He took out a stack of paper from his arms, all of which were densely written with fine print.
Ji Changze made the front of these papers face the emperor, even if he knew that he was so far away, he couldn’t see it at all: "Your Majesty did not let the ministers say, so the ministers said, anyway, so much, and your throat hurts when you say it. What have you done these years? Whoever was wronged, who was killed by poison, the official investigation is clear, all are written on it."
He took these papers full of words, slowly turned around to face the officials, and said loudly: "Everyone, come and see how our Majesty is [diligence and love for the people] and how [kindness and courtesy] !!!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the papers full of words were thrown into the sky, and then fell again.
Among the many papers, Mr. Ji wearing red official clothes was full of irony, and Zhou Ru's blood was under his feet.
He laughed wantonly: "Your Majesty! You have done so many bad things, and it's time to pay your debts!"
Chaozhong was extremely quiet, only the emperor's gasps.
Slowly, an official bent down and picked up a piece of paper.
Then, the second, the third...
"Sir Liu was actually poisoned by your majesty? His youngest son was still in infants!"
"His Majesty is so loyal, how did your majesty behave badly?"
"...The food for disaster relief was stolen, and it was your majesty that the thief called to catch the thief. How wronged are the soldiers who kept the food!"
More and more voices sounded in shock, and they all felt chills. They couldn't believe that this was actually made by His Majesty Wen Chao.
Hearing what they said, the emperor's eyes were cracked, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the former cronies underneath, and said angrily: "Ji Changze! Where are you?! Even if I am wrong, you are not completely innocent! Even if you are sitting today, Get on this dragon chair, they will not assist you as usual!!!"
This is, after all, Ji Changze is a treacherous minister, everyone knows.
Ji Changze laughed again.
The laughter was full of sarcasm. After laughing for a while, he covered his aching belly and looked at the emperor above sarcastically:
"Your Majesty, are you really stupid or fake? If you are not so, how to eliminate your majesty's vigilance against his ministers, how to win the trust of your majesty, how to become a close confidant of your majesty, the important minister in the court, check this past, and how to get the current straight What about your majesty’s military power?"
He laughed enough, and straightened up, with a loud voice:
"Fun Jun is a worthy minister, if I really become a loyal and capable minister, can you believe me?"
"Can these past events be exposed to my eyes? Can you put these tens of thousands of horses in my hands?"
After listening to Ji Changze's words, the emperor's face was full of shock, and something flashed through his mind, and he was firmly grasped.
His face turned gray, and he sat down on the dragon chair again limply: "I, I know, you have been right from the beginning, even if today, 16 years ago, when you came to me, you were already planning. ..."
"Pretends, all pretends, you have been pretending all these years, you have been able to act for 16 years for the sake of my throne and Wen Dynasty!"
Ji Changze looked at the emperor coldly. When he was desperate, he suddenly said: "I never said that what I did today was for the throne."
Not for the throne?
Not only the emperor, but the hundreds of officials on the side were also shocked.
Not for the throne, then you brought so many soldiers up to tear the emperor's face.
Isn't this the equivalent of putting in the bath water, taking off the clothes, but not going in the bath tub?
"In the seventeenth year of Yuanshun, His Majesty entered the court and was full of admiration. His Majesty gradually became jealous. Just as the enemy country came to attack, His Majesty pointed out that his Majesty sent troops to quell the war, but he deliberately dragged the grain and grass behind him. His Royal Highness still defeated the enemy country."
The emperor trembled and looked at Ji Changze incredulously.
He already knew what the former confidant, who was dressed as a treacherous minister, was going to say next.
Sure enough, Ji Changze continued:
"His Majesty's uncle was a great scholar of the dynasty, and now he is praised by the military commander. His Majesty can no longer tolerate him. He passed a secret letter to the Great Highness, saying that there was a rebellion in the capital, and asked him to move his troops back to Beijing to support him quickly. But it was taken immediately."
"The charge is: Bringing troops back to Beijing without authorization, with intent to rebel."
Ji Changze looked at the emperor above: "Your Majesty, if you feel that your minister's recollection is wrong, you will refute the minister. It just so happens that the minister has not lost time in vain in the past sixteen years. The letter you sent to your highness for help sixteen years ago Letter, the minister also brought it."
He really took out a letter from his arms, unfolded it, and said to the emperor who was unbelievable in his eyes: "Thank you for not giving up looking for this letter, which wastes a lot of manpower. My dear, how can I not know about this?"
The evidence is as strong as a mountain, plus all the previous testimonies of the "emperor's murder of his courtiers", the emperor has nothing to say.
Seeing him like this, it is not clear to the hundred officials that what Ji Changze said is true.
The originally quiet court hall became noisy again.
"It was so."
"Why does your Majesty come here? His Majesty is his flesh and blood!"
"Even parents and children have to murder."
Listening to these voices, the emperor gritted his teeth and stared at Ji Changze, looking like he could not eat his flesh and drink his blood.
What he bothered to bury, what he tried to cover, today, but all of it was revealed in a head, so how could he not hate it.
But no matter how much he hated, it would not prevent Ji Changze from continuing.
"What kind of character your Majesty is. Even if your Majesty is framed, there are still many people who do not believe that His Majesty really wants to rebel, and they intercede to testify. Many people have shown evidence that His Majesty received hypocrisy and came to the capital. Still bent on going its own way."
"At the time of the stalemate, the minister’s master, the majesty’s uncle, because the majesty was worried about the situation in the capital, the flying pigeon came back, and he asked to see your majesty. He said this alone, and wanted to testify for the majesty. The master is a great scholar. It is quite influential among the literati. If his words are spread out, the condemnation of His Highness will have to be ignored."
Ji Changze’s voice has gradually grown from the original dullness to some emotions, bringing anger and hatred: "So, our majesty thought of a good way to fake some correspondence between his majesty and my master and frame me. The master planned a rebellion with His Highness. He is the uncle of His Highness. He said that he helped the Great Hall.
His tone was agitated, and the hatred almost rushed to the dragon chair:
"After my master was framed, he was full of injustice! He tried his best to prove his innocence. He was loyal to the Wen Dynasty and His Majesty. How can I think of it, it was his loyal Majesty who wanted to kill him!!!"
Ji Changze's anger, and his red eyes at that moment, made anyone see that he already hated the emperor.
"Until the night before the Shang Dynasty, he was still thinking about meeting his Majesty, and he said that he was innocent. Your Majesty has really gone. How happy the Master is. He thought that his loyal Majesty would trust him, listen to his explanation, and be like him. Trust him with all my heart."
The emperor frowned.
No, he has never seen Master Ji Changze, a dying man, and saw what he did.
"But what did your majesty say to my master? Using the lives of my master's family as a threat, and using his mother, wife, daughter, and the lives of my disciple as a bargaining chip, he asked the master to admit that he had conspired to rebel with the master!!!"
"With the life of his closest relatives, to force him to become an unrighteous person, to kill his only sister's child, this is His Majesty's kindness and courtesy!!!"
"What can my master do?! What can he do?!!! You forced him to die, and you forced him to die by hitting a pole. Even death can't prove his innocence!!"
emperor:"……"
"Wait... I never..."
"Shut up!!!"
Master Ji, who was already in his memories, obviously looked very uncomfortable with the emperor at this moment. When the other party spoke, he angrily intercepted his words, pointed at the emperor on the dragon chair, and said angrily:
"Before the master died, I had to worry about the Li family's trouble after his death, and I was afraid that my disciple would be dragged down by him!!"
"With blood as ink and clothes as paper, leave a letter to the jailer and give it to me. The letter tells me what your majesty has said and done, saying that he can't do it to frame the hall, and he can't admit treason as your majesty wants. I don’t want to get involved with him. After he died, I confessed these sins of desire as a disciple! To protect my health and the health of the Li family’s daughters!!"
"My master!! Full of economics, countless books, a generation of great scholars!! You should be a famous person who has passed on through the ages, but you forcibly spilled dirty water and sewage and made him commit suicide with hatred!!! If he didn't leave it to me that night I don’t even know about the next letter. Because of Master’s most loyal Majesty, he is so dissatisfied that he even died!!!"
These words, every word, weeping blood, this horrendous injustice 16 years ago just crawled out of the ground and unfolded in front of everyone.
No one can tell whether Ji Changze is laughing or crying now. All he knows is that this vicious villain who has been scolded for sixteen years and stepped on the upper rank of the teacher is dazzled by the sun at this moment.
In the sun, he took out a letter, his eyes were already full of tears, and he said with grief: "This is the letter. The minister touches it every day, and the words are blurred, but the content is remembered by the minister. , Your Majesty! You framed Zhongliang and died for your own desires at the expense of your loyal ministers. In the past 16 years, how can your ministers tolerate you through the days and nights!"
At this moment, the accused emperor was still thinking of shirking: "I have never seen Li Qing..."
Before finishing speaking, Ji Changze interrupted roughly:
"Enough!!! At this moment!!! Are you still thinking about deceiving the world?!!!"
He took a deep breath, as if to calm his emotions a little: "Sixteen years ago, when he received the letter, the minister did not sleep at night, and the minister could not figure it out. Your Majesty is the lord of the Wen Dynasty, why do you still use this? Use three abuses to humiliate a loyal official."
"The minister thought, if the minister asks your majesty to return the master's innocence, your majesty will definitely not agree. Therefore, the minister must stand in a high position, one person must be below ten thousand people, and he must have the ability to force his majesty to listen to the minister's words !!!"
The Master Ji, who was thought to only flatter and flatter for a long time, relied on flattering and stepping on the top of his teacher sneered:
"The minister knows that your majesty keeps the ministers just to use the words of the ministers to publicize the master's [crime]. The more the ministers are ungrateful, the more human-faced and beast-hearted they are. Everyone swears for helplessness, the more your Majesty believes in his ministers."
For Baiguan, this day is destined to be a day of various ups and downs of mood.
Ji Changze...he actually pretended to be.
In order to restore his master's name, he just pretended to be like that for 16 years and recite the infamy for 16 years.
"You want a treacherous minister, and a minister is a treacherous minister! If you want to rely on your cronies, the minister will do nothing! If you want a knife, the minister is a knife!"
Master Ji obviously didn't care about these infamy. His red official uniform swung his cuffs slightly with the wind, and he looked at the emperor sharply:
"It's just that now, this knife is aimed at, it should be your majesty."
The emperor had already accepted the reality, and after knowing that Ji Changze's attack was because "he threatened Master Ji Changze and forced him to die", now he regained hope.
Although he did all the previous things, he has indeed never seen Master Li in prison.
"Ji Qing, I did not say to Master Li that he used his family as a threat. You are being instigated!"
Of course Ji Changze knew.
After all, the emperor went to see Master Li, and Master Li left these letters... all of them were made up by him.
But now, with the emperor's misdeeds ahead, no one will believe that he is really innocent.
He only sneered: "Your Majesty, will anyone believe what you are saying now?"
"Just ask the civil and military officials to see if they believe it or not!!"
The emperor subconsciously looked at the courtiers standing underneath, and the eyes of the courtiers who came into contact with his sight flickered.
Obviously, they did not believe it.
"I really haven't, I haven't seen Li Qing, I haven't!!"
"I really don't have one!!!"
The emperor's voice filled with grievances sounded in the hall, but no one believed it.
The emperor didn't understand at this moment, they had already assumed that he had done this.
He lost his strength and numbly leaned on the dragon chair.
"I...really not..."
The courtiers standing underneath watched their noses and hearts:
At this time, your Majesty, stop pretending.
