Nine hundred and seventieth chapters gave a chance
Royal Palace, Yangshen Temple.
At this time, there were only Emperor Chen and Prince Fu in the palace. Even Wei Jian was sent out by Emperor Chen, and there were no eunuchs or maids serving him.
Emperor Chen's expression was extremely gloomy. He looked at Prince Fu and asked, "Didn't you deal with all the people who knew what happened back then?"
King Fu looked apologetic and said, "It's all my brother's negligence. Maybe something slipped through the net..."
"Maybe?" Chen Huang shook his hand suddenly and said, "The evidence from the Ministry of Punishment has been piled on my desk, and you still want to tell me maybe?"
Prince Fu buried his head deeper and whispered: "It's my fault, please punish me."
"Penalize you? What's the use of punishing you?" Emperor Chen gave him a cold look and said, "You go down first, I will handle this matter."
King Fu bowed and said, "My dear brother, please retire."
King Fu respectfully withdrew, and Huang Chen slowly sat down in his seat, leaning on the back of the chair, with a look of painful reminiscence on his face, which then turned into a look of murderous intent, and said in a sinister voice: "Che,...
Look who is fanning the flames behind the scenes, I will cut him into pieces..."
When he said this, his teeth were clenched and his expression was terrifying. He no longer looked as steady and dignified as before.
…
The old royal case from twenty years ago has been abuzz in the capital for the past two days, but the court has never given a result.
The case of Concubine Yang and the Empress cannot be re-investigated by the Ministry of Punishment if it wants. This requires the consent of the imperial court, or His Majesty's consent.
The lack of movement from His Majesty caused the case to be temporarily shelved. However, the discussion among the people did not stop. Instead, various conspiracy theories evolved, making the situation more and more uncontrollable.
In the morning.
The Minister of Rites has just submitted a memorial to discuss the etiquette regulations for Princess Anyang and her husband from the Western Regions, and has finalized the formal send-off in half a month. The Minister of War reported on the battle situation on the grassland. The black barbarians have been defeated, and Chen's 100,000-strong army will be reorganized soon. After that,
There will be no important court matters to discuss.
Just when Wei Jian was about to announce his resignation, a figure stood out from among the officials.
The Minister of Punishment held the wat board, stood upright in front of everyone, and said: "Your Majesty, the Punishment Ministry has investigated and found out that the death of the Queen and Concubine Yang more than 20 years ago was mysterious. I sincerely request your Majesty to allow the Punishment Ministry to re-investigate.
In this case, we need to find out the truth of that year and bring justice to the Queen and Concubine Yang."
After the Minister of Punishment said these words, the originally noisy court suddenly became quiet.
Chen Huang's expression remained calm. He just glanced at the Minister of Punishment, nodded and said: "In that case, I'm sure, the Punishment Department must take this case seriously. If there is even the slightest bit of deception, I will never give you mercy!"
The Minister of Punishment bowed and said: "I obey your order."
Emperor Chen gave him a cold look and said, "Retreat from the imperial court!"
All officials exited the hall and returned to their respective yamen.
In the Ministry of Punishment, Shangshu Yazhong, Song Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, looked at Huang Shilang and said: "Don't investigate this case any further."
Huang Shilang looked up at him and asked, "Why?"
Song Yidao: "This case is not something you can investigate."
Huang Shilang smiled and said: "I am the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I am in charge of all the unjust cases in prisons. Is there any case in the world that I cannot investigate?"
Song Yi looked at him, sighed, and said: "I just advise you to stop before it's too late to avoid disaster."
Huang Shilang said: "Your Majesty said that the Ministry of Punishment should take this case seriously and not be careless in the slightest. How can we stop it?"
Song Yi looked at him and said: "I have already done what I need to do to persuade you, so you can do your own thing..."
…
The newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Punishment is indeed very capable.
In a case that happened more than 20 years ago, he finally found a bunch of clues and completely turned the case over.
When it came to the deaths of the Queen and Concubine Yang, the Taiyuan Hospital initially concluded that they died of illness, while Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment gave the conclusion that they were poisoned.
Not only that, he also found out that the deaths of the Queen and Concubine Yang were inseparable from the Tang family and Concubine Tang.
And this is far from the end. It is said that in addition to the Tang family and Tang Guifei, there are other murderers in the case that year, but no matter who he is, he will eventually surface with the investigation of the Ministry of Punishments.
The Ministry of Punishment has produced such a capable person, which will serve as a deterrent to those who have the intention to commit crimes and commit crimes within the capital, and will be conducive to the formation of good public security in the capital.
However, life is like this, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
Huang Shilang, who was in the limelight, was demoted from the capital and sent to Shazhou in the west because he left a button unbuttoned when he went to the morning court. He was never allowed to return to the capital.
Etiquette issues can be a minor issue for officials.
As long as your background is strong enough, no one will care about you even if you sleep against a pillar during the morning session.
But if taken seriously, trivial matters such as burping, farting, or unbuttoned buttons can be enough to make officials lose their official titles and ruin their careers.
Obviously, the Minister of Punishment is the latter type.
The case that was originally followed up by Huang Shilang was temporarily unhandled due to his transfer of official positions.
…
Song Yi, the Minister of Punishment, came to visit the Tang Mansion today. When he mentioned this matter, he still had a look of sadness on his face.
Tang Ning looked at him pretending to be ignorant and asked, "Isn't it a bit hasty to convict the Minister of Criminal Affairs of such a serious crime because he didn't button up the clothes in the morning?"
Song Yi shook his head and said: "Master Tang has only been an official for a few years, and he doesn't know the inside story. Ever since Huang Shilang decided to investigate this case, his ending today has been doomed."
"Oh?" Tangning looked at him and asked, "Is there any other hidden story in this case?"
Song Yidao: "After so many years, no one who wants to interfere in this case has a good end. How can Mr. Huang be spared?"
Tang Ning asked in surprise: "How could this happen? Doesn't Your Majesty want to find out the deaths of the Queen and Concubine Yang?"
"Your Majesty..." Song Yi just said two words, but suddenly realized something, swallowed what he was going to say again, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I drank a little today.
Too much..."
Tang Ning reminded: "Master Song drinks tea."
Song Yi said sheepishly: "Xiaguan doesn't have a good drinking capacity, and he will get drunk even if he drinks tea..."
…
The Minister of Justice was deported before he could investigate the case. There were countless speculations about this. However, for Tang Ning, who knew more about the inside story, he already had the answer to this matter.
The Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui may have been behind the deaths of the empress and Concubine Yang, but they were definitely inseparable from Emperor Chen.
But Chen Huang would not admit this matter.
Do you want him to admit that he made a deal with the Tang family with the lives of the Queen and Concubine Yang in order to secure the throne?
Once this case is investigated, it will leave an indelible stigma in the history books to this day. This is also the reason why the Minister of Punishment met this end.
It is no longer a secret to Tang Ning who is the person standing behind the Minister of Justice.
However, from his perspective, he didn't think that person had done anything wrong.
If you think about it from his perspective, if it was him who had gone through all this, I'm afraid his methods would be ten times a hundred times more intense.
He faced the direction of Prince Huai's Mansion and sighed deeply.
At the same time, King Huai looked at the palace and said softly: "I gave you a chance..."
