On behalf of the king, King Xiang bowed his head and did not speak, obviously tacitly acquiescing.
Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed, and said: "You guys conspired to assassinate me. So many people are involved, is it true?"
King Lu lowered his head, hesitated, and said, "It's true."
Zhu Cihong still couldn't believe it, and threw the confession directly in, and said angrily: "Pick it up for me!"
The three of Wang Lu shuddered and picked it up in a hurry.
Li Zhong looked a little surprised, and quietly glanced at Li Hengbing, Chen Zhao and others.
Chen Zhaozhong was a little worried, but now he is more calm.
And Li Hengbing was calm as usual from beginning to end.
Kou Huaiyi and Ma Shiying looked at each other and did not speak. What the Criminal Ministry said about this incident shocked them.
King Lu and the others hurriedly glanced, then knelt on the ground, and said, "It's the confession of the criminal official."
Zhu Cihong's face was pale, his eyes flushed, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He didn't believe it at first, and felt that something was strange. It was someone planted and framed, but now facing the confrontation, these people actually admitted it!
No torture to extort a confession, no confession, all true, these people are going to kill him!
Zhu Cihong was speechless, and most of the people behind him let out a sigh of relief.
If King Lu and others retracted the confession, it would be to put Zhou Zheng on the fire, and the king and his officials would fight, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
Li Zhong was in the same mood. He glanced at other people and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, go back to the palace."
Zhu Cihong was not reconciled. He hated these so-called clan families, his blood-linked kinsmen, and at the same time, he was unsatisfied and didn't want to stop there.
Li Hengbing and the others didn't speak. Those who were present almost knew what was going on. It was a lie to the little emperor alone.
Of course, the little emperor should also be dubious.
King Lu and the others knelt on the ground, and did not say much to complain.
They knew very well in their hearts that even if the little emperor did not pursue them, the courtiers would not let it go. No one can suppress such a big thing as the assassination of the Jinluan Temple.
Except for the cries of grievances from other cells, the cell of the Three Kings was very quiet, the smell of wine was overflowing, and the scene was a bit awkward.
At this time, Zhou Yanru finally rushed over, and everyone saluted sideways.
Zhou Yanru didn't know the situation yet, so he took a closer look, looked solemn, and raised his hand: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Cihong still sullen his face, staring at the younger generation of the Three Kings, gritted his teeth for a while, and turned around abruptly to leave.
Li Hengbing leaned on his side and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do with the others in the confession?"
Zhu Cihong paused, and only then did he remember that the Three Kings also confessed dozens of'accomplices', most of whom were also clan kings!
Without the emperor's will, the outer court would not be able to take the feudal king.
Zhu Cihong was so angry about this, he couldn't think too much, and at the same time, he didn't want too many clans to get involved. He didn't speak, and left with strides.
Li Hengbing bowed, just asked, and did not continue to chase.
A large group of people immediately followed Zhu Cihong, rushing out of the prison.
Zhou Yanru frowned, stopped in front of Li Hengbing, and said indifferently: "Is it verified?"
Li Hengbing had no expression on his face, and said, "It's verified."
Zhou Yanru's old face moved, took a deep look at him, and quickly chased Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong didn't stop at all. After leaving the Criminal Department, he sat in Long Hu and went straight back to the palace.
A group of people stood in front of the gate of the Ministry of Justice and sent off respectfully.
Zhou Yanru watched Zhu Cihong leave and looked back at the person in charge of the Three Laws Department: Dali Temple Qing Kou Huaiyi, Criminal Ministry Shangshu Li Hengbing, and Zuodu Yushi Ma Shiying of the Imperial Court.
Although the three of them looked down on this Yuansuke, they kept their manners and bowed their heads.
Thoughts surged in Zhou Yanru's heart, suppressing his anger.
Zhou Zheng asked for the three law divisions at the beginning, and then secretly controlled Jin Yiwei, and took these violent institutions in his hands, already planning this day! It's ridiculous that he thought he was forced to retreat from Zhou Zheng, get the Huhu, the staff, and he was so proud!
Zhou Yanru's old face was livid, knowing that whether it was Zhu Cihong's tearing his face or Zhou Zhengyun's actions, it would be a catastrophic consequence for the DPRK. He suppressed his anger and said lightly: "What are you going to do next?"
Ma Shiying said: "Back to Yuanfu, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is conducting self-examination, and then it will be ordered to supervise the court."
Kou Huai said: "Dali Temple is also conducting self-examination, and then will accept many cases and concentrate on trial."
Li Hengbing was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty has no will, and the Ministry of Justice cannot take people. At the moment, you can only continue the interrogation and wait for your Majesty's will."
This time, the clan, noble ministers, ministers, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have not many rights to take, and Zhu Cihong has to make an order.
When Zhou Yanru listened, he immediately twisted his eyebrows and said coldly, "What are you going to do?"
In Zhou Yanru's mind, Zhou Zheng was nothing more than trying to seize power. Why should he continue to persecute the emperor in this way? The two sides are ugly.
Li Hengbing had no expression on his face, and said, "Yuanfu's words cannot be understood by the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials shall act according to the rules, and I wonder what is wrong
Zhou Yanru's face twitched, and he said coldly: "Tell Zhou Zhengyun to do it for yourself, don't let the people of the day be so easy to deceive!"
After speaking, he flicked his sleeve and left.
Fan Wenjing followed him, seeming to come one after another, and it was time to leave one after another.
Two people.
Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi and the others looked at each other, all smiled without saying a word, arched their hands, and turned to leave.
When Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, he suddenly threw the plate and bowl, cursing loudly.
Li Zhong stood outside, watching Zhu Cihong's movements, as if he saw the first emperor Chongzhen, his expression full of worry.
The original Emperor Chongzhen had gradually lost control of the court situation, but he was still able to control it. Now this new emperor is too young and the situation has changed drastically. If he has the same character as the first emperor, he might cause a catastrophe!
Zhou Zhengzheng did not take care of the Ministry of Penalty, and brought people to the Ministry of Households.
Chen Yan's willingness to resign is now more obvious, perhaps because of fear of the turmoil of this talent, he can't be called sick at this moment.
Gao Hongtu accompanied Zhou Zheng and wandered around the household.
The other people in the household are hiding, afraid to show up.
Gao Hongtu was beside Zhou Zheng and introduced: "My lord, Xia Liang is currently harvesting, but it is expected to be reduced by more than half. I am afraid that it will be less than two million. Adding to the damage of the robbers, it is really stretched."
Zhou Zheng came to the place where the original Mint was located, and now it was empty and messy.
Gao Hongtu glanced at it and said, "My lord, this mint has long existed in name only. It is basically useless except for casting some large ingots of official silver."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said: "I intend to hand over the Mint to Zhou's ticket number, and Zhou's ticket number will mint new currency, and rectify the chaotic transaction."
Gao Hongtu was startled, but he couldn't get any reaction, and said, "My lord, you mean, the new currency is minted from Zhou's ticket number?"
Gao Hongtu has two key points here, "Zhou's ticket number" and "new currency". (End of this chapter)
