Chapter 157 Find out who is behind the kidnapping of the prince! Tianqi: So it was you!
Zhang Yan replied: "Wang Dehua wanted to collude with Zhang Fengyi to take away the crown prince, but Zhang Fengyi just pretended to agree with him, promised to help him take away the crown prince, and captured him alive when he came to take away the crown prince."
Wang Dehua said: "Forget it, I admit it, but I am sorry for the master, and let him send me to the palace for nothing."
Tianqi ignored Wang Dehua, but stood up, looked at Zhang Fengyi, and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Fengyi took out a deed: "Return to Your Majesty, this is the deed of 200,000 taels of silver promised by Wang Dehua to the minister. Two silver coins, two hundred thousand taels of silver have been transported to Sichuan, but I lied to him. When he came to receive the crown prince as promised, I still detained him. All this, the empress and the uncle of the country can testify for me. "
Tian Qi looked at Zhang Gui: "So you already knew that someone was going to threaten me with the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Zhang Guixian cupped his hands and said, "This minister is doing this for the sake of scheming. If you don't do this, you won't be able to find out who is behind the scenes!"
Zhang Yan also said: "At the beginning, it was just that Wang Dehua secretly wooed Fengyi, and revealed his intention to get rid of my brother by means of the crown prince, and said that he would pay a huge bribe, and even make his husband Ma Xianglin an uncle. But Fengyi She was so loyal that she was unmoved! But out of caution, she did not directly refuse, but first quietly informed the concubine. I killed my younger brother, and also told him not to tell you."
Tian Qi was very surprised after hearing this: "Why didn't you dare to tell me first?"
Zhang Gui replied for Zhang Yan: "Because as far as Zhang Fengyi knows, the person behind the scenes who wants to take the crown prince away is a very important person to your majesty. It is the empress and ministers who deliberately set up a trap to trap this person!"
"And only after letting Zhang Fengyi do the trick first, and making His Majesty believe that someone is really trying to make a fuss about the crown prince, can the minister and the empress dare to tell the majesty, and let the majesty know who is behind the scenes, so that the suspicion of the minister and the empress can be cleared. Don't let people think that the minister and the empress are setting a trap to frame this person. After all, this person is very important to His Majesty!"
"The minister and the empress dare not rashly say that he is the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"However, what they didn't expect was that General Zhang, who was in charge of accompanying the crown prince, was not bribed by them. Wang Dehua never kidnapped the crown prince as promised, and the guard who was in charge of communicating with Wang Dehua had also been instigated by the minister. Therefore, these people I really only thought that the crown prince had already been taken away by Wang Dehua. However, I didn’t expect that they would first surprise His Majesty by pretending to send someone to assassinate, and then convey to His Majesty the news that the crown prince has been kidnapped by them.”
Tian Qi understood what Zhang Gui and Zhang Yan meant, and asked, "Then who is this person?"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Gui was about to report at this time, when suddenly Tian Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't say it first!"
Then, Tian Qi told Zhang Gui: "Take the crown prince to the Qinzheng Hall first, and Zhang Fengyi, you bring this dog with you. In addition, Wei Zhongxian, go to the ministers and Daoqinzheng Hall to listen to the announcement."
"Follow the order!"
…
Not long after, the courtiers who were still outside Xiyuan heard the decree telling them to go to Qinzheng Hall to listen to the announcement.
So the courtiers came to the Hall of Qinzheng.
"Could it be that your majesty didn't see the crown prince, and that this is an order to kill Uncle Zhang Guo in accordance with the rebel's request?"
"Perhaps, Zhang Guojiu probably never thought that he would be killed in this way?"
"Although this method is indeed despicable, but in any case, his Uncle Zhang Guo is dead, and the New Deal will undoubtedly be unable to carry out because of this."
Many courtiers discussed on the way to Qinzheng Hall.
Many of them were expecting that Zhang Gui would be killed because of this.
Han Yu, Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and other ministers who supported the reform kept their faces sombre and did not say a word.
Feng Quan also had a serious face.
Guang Shiheng also had a serious face, but a smile began to appear at the corner of his mouth that could not be concealed.
However, Qian Longxi had the most obvious smile on his face.
He knew the significance of Zhang Gui being killed.
He had to admit that at this point in the Ming Dynasty, he suddenly wanted to clear up the farmland, to share the land with each other, and to have both officials and gentry pay food and work as errands, all because Zhang Gui brought Daming to this point.
As long as Zhang Gui is killed, the emperor will lose his right-hand man, and the implementation of the New Deal will not be very smooth.
Sun Chengzong kept his face calm, without any expression.
Sun Chengzong stood up first at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers do not hope that such a thing will happen."
Tian Qi smiled slightly.
At this time, Qian Qianyi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I still believe that the national foundation is more important than the national uncle. At this time, the most urgent task is to preserve the national foundation!"
As he said that, Qian Qianyi bowed to the ground first: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Zhang Gui, the country's uncle, in order to save the country!"
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to act impulsively, Guoben must not make any mistakes!"
Zhu Guozuo also followed suit, and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Zhang Gui, the country's uncle, in order to save the country!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Uncle Guo!"
Many ministers bowed to the ground.
Only Shang Zhouzuo was more worried, crying secretly: "It's over, my daughter is going to be a widow!"
Tian Qi said very calmly at this time: "Come out."
Not long after, the courtiers discovered that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country, was leading the crown prince out, while a female general in a flying fish suit bestowed by the emperor was escorting an **** out.
The courtiers all stared wide-eyed.
The officials of the Eastern Palace, Fan Jingwen and Jiang Dejing, who had been ordered by the Pope to study, recognized the Crown Prince first, and they all said with joy: "His Royal Highness is not missing! His Royal Highness has not been kidnapped by gangsters!"
The two of them just barely jumped up in the main hall at this moment.
After a while, the two of them realized that they were in front of the imperial court, and hurriedly suppressed their excitement: "Your Majesty, please punish the crime!"
"Excuse me!"
Tian Qi said with a smile.
Then, Tian Qi asked the other courtiers: "Are some of you disappointed?"
The courtiers said nothing.
Tian Qi continued: "Some of you must think that the crown prince has been captured and hidden, but you have counted thousands of times, but you haven't counted them. The world is not full of infidelities like you. Unrighteous people!"
Tianqi said, "Now we can say who is behind the scenes."
"yes!"
Zhang Fengyi agreed, and then pulled out the cloth ball from Wang Dehua's mouth: "Tell me the truth! It doesn't make any sense for you to cover up for him now!"
Wang Dehua nodded and said: "My lord, Mr. Sun Ge asked the servant to do this. He asked the servant to find a way to get in touch with Mrs. Zhang who is next to the eldest son of the emperor. Follow his plan."
Nurse Zhang refers to Zhang Fengyi.
Tian Qi stood up in astonishment after hearing this, looked at Sun Chengzong, with tears in his eyes: "Sir, I didn't expect it to be you! Why did you do this?!"
Boom!
Sun Chengzong collapsed directly to the ground.
At this time, Zhang Gui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Ge is always wronged!"
Tian Qi looked back at Zhang Gui in surprise.
Zhang Gui replied: "Your Majesty, my minister impeached Guang Shiheng, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, for planning to poison the people of Suizhou with the poison of smallpox, and colluded with the eunuchs to kidnap the crown prince as a hostage to murder my minister, and deliberately set blame Important officials in the court such as Liu Zongzhou and Sun Chengzong!"
"Didn't you say that because the person behind the scenes is someone very close to me, you dare not report rashly?"
Apocalypse asked.
Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, it's just that I suspect that it is Elder Sun Ge, because the **** Wang Dehua confessed to be Elder Sun Ge, but I have already obtained conclusive evidence to prove that the real mastermind behind the scenes is Guang Shiheng! It's just that it hasn't had time. Just telling His Majesty you, His Majesty interrupted the minister just now, have you forgotten, Your Majesty?"
