Chapter 415 Head-on Confrontation (4)
Tianqi was very surprised when he heard Tang Feng say that he almost couldn't see him, so he asked, "How do you say this? Let's talk about it carefully."
"Just when the ministers were gathered with their subordinates in the Fushi Department, two large heads of Qin Xie and Chu Buer from the East Factory rushed over with their men and horses. They wanted to capture the Wei ministers, but the envoys would not meet the emperor!" After looking at Wei Zhongxian, Tang Feng told him what happened in the Fushi Department. Of course, he had already been prepared. He only said that all the subordinates of the Jinyiwei were capable of taking their Dongshi Department to capture him in the future: "After capturing those people alive, Wei minister asked who they were ordered by. They said bluntly that they were brought by Wei Zhongxian's instructor! If the emperor refused to believe it, those people were outside the palace now, so the emperor could ask!"
"Emperor, there is no such thing as this, Your Majesty. Even if I have the courage to send someone to capture him, Your Majesty!" All Wei Zhongxian could do now is to constantly deny and beg for mercy: "This matter... there must be a hidden truth in this matter. I think this must be Tang Feng and others conspire to frame the old slave!
"Prince, please think, I've been in the palace all the time. How could I order these Dongchang people to be unfavorable to Tang Feng? And if it's really as he said, the Dongchang people take the initiative to attack, if you have the intention to make a fool of yourself, it will only be Tang Feng and his men who fall into the hands of Dongchang, the emperor!" This does talk about the crux of the problem. Because Tang Feng deliberately concealed the weapons under his command, he did not mention his advantage in military strength.
Tianqi looked at the two people in front of him with hesitation. One was a meritorious person with a lot of evidence and a righteous man; the other was a man who served him for many years and had deep feelings for him. He could not believe that he was a close person with ulterior motives. At this moment, the emperor really didn't know who to believe. Looking at the emperor's appearance, Wang Tiqian felt nervous again, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, I Nucai seems to be extremely difficult to stop. Although Lord Tang said that the two people were taken down by him, no one could guarantee whether they had become Lord Tang's people. Moreover, these two people were humble and were not enough to meet the saint, so..."
Tianqi waved his hand and interrupted his words. He had already made a plan: "Tang Feng, although what you said is well-founded, but people are unpredictable. This matter cannot be used as a proof that Wei Zhongxian has the unjust intention. Do you have any other evidence?"
Tang Feng felt a little angry. He had so much substantial evidence in his hands and there were still evidence in his hands. However, because of the emperor's favoritism for Wei Zhongxian, he would have rejected it in one word. This would be hard for him to accept it. If he had not known his current identity and had already accepted the rules of the game of this era, he might have stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the Apocalypse to question him if he was an idiot.
Seeing Tang Feng's distressed look, Wei Zhongxian felt a little relieved. He knew that if Tang Feng could not provide any evidence, there would be a turning point for today's affairs. As long as he could get through this time, although the emperor would be dissatisfied with him because of today's events, Wei Zhongxian believed that with the energy of the officials below, he would definitely turn defeat into victory and regain control of the court. Thinking of this, a proud smile appeared on his face inadvertently.
"Yes! I still have something that Wei Zhongxian can't argue with him that Wei Zhongxian can state in front of the emperor!" Tang Feng once again broke Wei Zhongxian's extravagant hope. At this point, he had to take out his last move. Fortunately, he had been thinking about how to deal with Wei Yin's party, so he would reserve some things for the official war.
Seeing Tang Feng say this again, Wei Zhongxian's heart sinking again. He really didn't expect that Tang Feng could control so many things that were not good for him. I don't know what else he could do. However, seeing Tang Feng's momentum this time was more powerful than before, Wei Zhongxian felt that this time the matter was even more serious. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't imagine that there would be something more serious than controlling the government.
Through this series of things, Tang Feng has seen through the character of the young emperor in front of him. Although he is the emperor and knows that the imperial power cannot be affected, he obviously does not take it too seriously. Instead, he attaches great importance to feelings. For example, because the other party is always with him, even though he has made countless mistakes and has even been exposed by himself, the emperor still does not affirm his crime. Since this is the case, he can only play the emotional card and use a person who is no less important and intimate than Wei Zhongxian in the emperor's heart to fight him.
After saying that, Tang Feng put his hand into his sleeve, which made the eunuchs around him nervous, fearing that he would suddenly take out some weapon. When Tang Feng showed the thing he was holding, everyone felt relieved. It was just a piece of paper with words on it. Tang Feng presented the paper and said, "I wonder if the emperor still remembered what happened when Lord Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing at the beginning of this year?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard him mention this, he felt a little nervous. He finally knew what Tang Feng was going to say. It turned out that this person had already made up his own ideas at that time. It was ridiculous that he thought he was his right-hand man and gave him all such important things. It turned out that he had found a way to deal with him.
When the emperor heard the three words "Sun Chengzong", his face tightened and said hurriedly: "I naturally remember that on the way back to Beijing, he was assassinated by someone, and the person who was boldly assassinated was also in prison. Why, is there any misfortune in this matter?" As he said that, his eyes had fallen on the piece of paper.
"The emperor is wise, it is true!" Tang Feng replied without hesitation: "There is an unknown truth behind this matter! The emperor and my Daming Pillar are the mastermind behind the scenes of Wei Zhongxian, who dares to send people to assassinate the first-rank official in our court, and he is the mastermind behind the scenes!" Tang Feng pointed his finger at one side, who was truly as beautiful as the earth: "Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Wei!"
The emperor's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Zhongxian, what Tang Feng said is the truth?" His tone was much more severe than before, and his eyes also showed a stern meaning. Wei Zhongxian had never seen such a look in Tianqi's eyes, and his heart was trembling. However, he knew that once he admitted this, he would die, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty is wronged! I have no such courage to do such a thing!"
"Eunuch Wei, you not only have the courage, but also have the ability to do this!" Tang Feng immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, after Lord Sun returned to Beijing that day, he wanted to bring the leader who assassinated him to meet the emperor, but because Wei Zhongxian obstructed him, he could not do it. Afterwards, Wei Zhongxian went to find Lord Sun and advised him to turn big things into small things. So in the end, this matter was not reported to the emperor in truth."
Tianqi frowned and said, "Although Mr. Sun has always been kind to others, such a big deal and his own safety, how could he give up?" Obviously he felt a little unbelievable about this matter.
Tang Feng had already made a statement, and was waiting for this question, and hurriedly replied: "This is Lord Sun's loyalty to the emperor and his concern for me. Because what Wei Zhongxian asked me to say was that if this matter was made public, a fight would inevitably start in the court, and the one that would be damaged by the Ming Dynasty was still the one that would be damaged. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian also made his own concessions and agreed to Lord Sun's intention, and ordered Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Ningqiandao, to replace Lord Liaodong. It was precisely because he was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would send his confidants at will to disrupt the border defense affairs of the Ming Dynasty, which gave us the opportunity to take advantage of the Jin people, so that Lord Sun had to make compromises. The matter three months ago also showed that Lord Sun's choice was correct at that time. If Yuan Chonghuan had not commanded properly, Liaodong would have probably fallen into the hands of the Jin people.
"But Wei Zhongxian is really shameless. Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's reputation growing, he became jealous of talent again. He ignored the previous agreement with Lord Sun, and asked his subordinates to constantly attack Lord Yuan who had made great contributions. It was because of knowing this that Lord Sun, who had returned home, would come to find the ministers, hoping to reveal the true face of Wei Zhongxian, get rid of such treacherous slander for my Ming Dynasty, and give me a bright world in the world!
"Because Lord Sun was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would go back on his word that day, he had already secretly interrogated the assassination leader and asked him to explain everything. Now it was really useful! What I handed over was the confession of the rebel Xu Sanlun himself." After saying this big thing, Tang Feng stopped talking. When he looked at Wei Zhongxian again, he found that he was already shocked, angry and afraid and could not speak.
Tianqi took Xu Sanlun's confession and was also angry: "Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, I didn't expect you to be so bold, even Mr. Sun dared to deal with it. Do you really want to usurp the throne?"
These words from the emperor almost burst out from his teeth scared Wei Zhongxian, which made him awake, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm wronged! It's true that I asked Tang Feng to solve this matter, but I'm just afraid that you'll be angry. This matter was not an order from the old slave. If the old slave lies, I'm willing to be cut into pieces!"
"Do you think I will believe you? I can forgive you for everything Tang Feng said before, and I don't even want to believe that it is true, but this... the evidence is conclusive. How do you ask me to believe you again?" Tianqi said with heartache. He heard a deep fear in everyone in the hall. The emperor was really furious this time!
