3857. Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-Three: Above the Court
The next morning, Hongzhou reported the truth about Guangde to Hongli at the morning court. The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked when they heard about it. They couldn't believe that the Dai Jia family, which had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, would actually do such a sensational thing.
thing.
Although Hongli had long known from Hong Zhou that Wende intended to join Tsarist Russia in exchange for asylum, he did not expect that Wende would even give the military talisman to the Tsarist Russian envoy.
After reading the documents seized by Hong Zhou, Hong Lisen's ice-cold voice sounded in the Yangxin Hall, "Bring them up!"
Following his words, Wende, the Tsarist Russian envoy, Ma Ge and others walked in. Hongli stared at the ashen-faced Wende and said, "So, Yongxuan was really killed by you?"
Wende slowly raised his head, stared at Hongli and said, "I have not, and I have never wanted to harm Brother Eleven."
"What about Yong Cang? Have you never thought of harming him?" This time, Wen De did not deny it and said dullly: "You have already found out, why bother to ask more!" After waiting for a while, Hongli didn't speak.
He added: "Yes, Adeyin is mine. I asked him to drug Lieyan and make Lieyan lose control. Unfortunately, due to some strange combination of circumstances, the person who died in the end was Brother Eleven."
Hongli snorted heavily, threw the document in his hand at his face, and said in a cold voice: "One mistake is not enough, you have to make another mistake. You actually signed such a contract with Tsarist Russia. The face of the Dai Jia family is really embarrassing to you.
It’s over!”
Facing his words, Wende suddenly laughed, "The emperor said that I have brought shame on the Dai Jia family, so the emperor has also brought shame on the Aixinjueluo family!"
Hong Zhou's face turned cold and he shouted fiercely: "What a shame!"
Wende ignored him and stared at Hongli and said: "The Nala family is the sinners who brought disaster to the country and the people. They plotted to kill the late emperor and colluded with Jungar. But you, the emperor, chose Nala as the queen, and even..." He
He raised his hand, pointed in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said: "If I guessed correctly, at this moment
In the secret edict placed behind the plaque of "Justice and Guangming", the prince written is the twelfth elder brother. I dare to ask the emperor, how can an elder brother born of a sinner become the prince? The late emperor placed high hopes on the emperor, but the emperor used this
To repay the late emperor, what else is it but to disgrace Aixinjueluo?!"
Hong Zhou's face was ashen and he said: "You are so brave, you dare to discuss the secret edict in vain, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
Wen De sneered: "Do I still have a way to survive?"
Hongli raised his hand to stop Hongzhou from continuing, and said slowly: "Although the Nala family has made great mistakes, the queen has made great contributions to the country and should not be generalized; moreover, the queen is virtuous and virtuous, and everyone in the world knows it, even if I really want to establish her forever.
What's wrong with Cang being the crown prince?"
Regarding his words, the officials did not show any surprise. Although no one saw the secret edict, everyone could see that among the elder brothers, Yong Cun was undoubtedly the one most likely to inherit the throne. If the secret edict was
It is surprising that the prince in the book is not Yong Cang.
Wende said coldly: "Anything that has contributed to the country and is virtuous is just a lie. If the queen is really virtuous, how come so many people in the harem have died or been disabled in these years; from the beginning, she has not
It should be later!”
"Who do I appoint as my queen? It's not your turn, a treacherous official and traitor, to come and ask questions!" After saying this, Hongli changed the topic and said, "I ask you, did the murder of Yong Cang come under the instruction of Concubine Xin?!"
How could Wende not understand the meaning of Hongli's words? Once he admitted that it was Concubine Xin who had given the instruction, Concubine Xin would be accused of being the mastermind and she would definitely die. Although he hated Concubine Xin so much that he had fallen to this point, but
In comparison, he was even less willing to make Hongli happy.
Thinking like this, he said: "I did this all by myself. Concubine Xin didn't know about it beforehand, and she doesn't know anything about it even now!"
Hongli stared at him and said, "If that's the case, why would Xiao Huazi haunt the stable? Why was he silenced after that?"
"Xiao Huazi accidentally fell off the cliff and died. How can he silence his story? As for his appearance in the stable, Xiao Huazi has already explained it himself, and there is no need for me to say it again."
Hongli narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Do you think Concubine Xin will be fine if you don't admit this?"
"I did it, and I will definitely admit it, but I didn't do it, and no one can think of me admitting it." Wende sneered and said, "It's like this document. Yes, I signed it with my own hands, but I encouraged it behind my back.
But it was Ma Ge; from the very beginning, he tried every possible means to persuade me to go to Tsarist Russia, saying that this was the only way to survive. This signing of the document with the Tsarist Russian envoy was also facilitated by him. If I deserved to die, then Ma Ge
Just as damnable!”
Ma Ge didn’t expect that after one night, Wen De still hated him so much and insisted on dragging him to death. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Wei Chen was wronged. From the time we looked for the messenger, everything was done by Wen De instructing Wei Chen;
He hates the betrayal of his ministers, so he deliberately confuses right and wrong, and wants to use the emperor's hands to avenge himself, so please let the emperor learn from it yesterday!"
Hongli pointed at the envoy and said to Wende expressionlessly: "Do you really think that I don't know about your relationship with Agusfu? In the early years of Qianlong's reign, when the two banners were not unified, you had
I had dealt with him, and then had contact with him intermittently several times, but at that time, Magu was just a member of a thousand households, and had nothing to do with Agusfu!"
Wen De gritted his teeth, with blue and white on his face; for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "If you want to kill, just kill, no need to say anything more; but... let me tell you, you dote on the Demon Queen and her son like this
, there will be a day you regret it in the future!" Speaking of this, he suddenly looked strange and said: "Or do you really think that no one will ever know about Ziyun Temple?"
Hearing these words, Hongli, whose expression had never changed much, changed his face with horror. Hongzhou stared at Wende and said, "What are you talking about?"
Their reactions made the look on Wende's face become even weirder. He stared at the courtiers on both sides and said, "You sirs should still remember that the twelfth prince once had smallpox, but did you know that at that time, Ziyun Guan died?
many people.”
The ministers looked at each other, but they really didn't know about this. One person asked tentatively: "Did they also die of smallpox?"
"If it were so, smallpox would have broken out in the capital long ago, but in fact it didn't happen, because they didn't die from smallpox, they were killed by other people, and the person who killed them was..." Wende didn't say anything.
At the end, Hong Zhou pointed at him and said, "It's you!"
"I have no grudges against them, so why do I want to kill them? In fact..." Halfway through the words, Hong Zhou interrupted him again, "You have no grudges against them, but you are dissatisfied with the Queen and the Twelveth Prince.
You wanted to make use of the fact that the twelfth elder brother was seriously ill to create rumors, so you sent the secret guards you raised privately to kill the Taoist priests of Ziyun Temple, but they happened to be discovered by my people, so your treacherous plan failed."
