After a moment, Zhang Anshi and Chen Li hurriedly entered the palace.

Zhang Anshi saluted and said, "I have met your Majesty."

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, nodded to Zhang Anshi, and said, "Zhang Qing is panting, does it seem like he has something important to do?"

"this……"

Zhu Di couldn't help but look teasing. He rarely saw Zhang Anshi looking so panicked.

As for Yi Shiha, he also smiled awkwardly, but of course, he quickly stopped smiling.

After all, Dongchang is indeed unkind this time, so it’s better not to be complacent.

Zhang Anshi paused for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty... I... are here to inquire about the capture of the imperial prisoner."

"That's what happened." Zhu Di nodded: "I didn't expect that your Jin Yiwei would get wind of it so quickly! Let me tell you, this Jin Yiwei has always had a keen sense of smell, but this time it has become much slower."

Chen Li's face turned red. This was a slap in the face!

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I wonder what those imperial prisoners... those imperial prisoners... are like?"

Zhu Di glanced at Yishuha: "Yishiha, please tell me."

Yi Shiha nodded, but still looked modest, prudent and respectful. Although the red light on his face could not be concealed, he said: "Dongchang has been conducting a secret investigation on this matter. A few years ago, it was

I secretly captured a recorder of Honglu Temple, and I have been following the clues ever since. Only then did I realize that there were many people involved in this matter. Now all the criminals have been arrested, and the East Police Factory has begun

The interrogation is over, I'm afraid it won't be long before a confession comes."

Yishiha finished speaking, coughed, and then continued: "Because this matter is of great importance, even though there were some clues before, Dongchang was worried that some news would be leaked, so Dongchang kept a tight lid on it. His Highness also used to be in charge.

If you have ever experienced Jinyiwei, you must be able to understand."

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't understand."

Yi Shiha originally thought that Zhang Anshi would just give up, but he didn't expect that he would not follow the routine at all.

As a result, he was frozen in place for a moment, speechless.

When Zhu Di saw this, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, the factory guards are one family, they all serve me, there is no distinction between each other, and there is no need to compete for credit. The most urgent matter now is this case..."

Just as he was talking, the eunuch came running quickly.

The eunuch saluted and said: "Your Majesty, here comes the confession. Those involved in this case include seventeen principal offenders and forty-five accomplices..."

Zhu Di cheered up and said, "Let me take a look."

The eunuch was waiting for the confession to be sent to the emperor.

Zhang Anshi said: "I might as well take a guess, Your Majesty...the chief criminals are led by Chen Deng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Liu He, the minister of Honglu Temple, Zhang Sanhe, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and..."

Zhang Anshi actually reported a long list of names in one breath.

Zhu Di had already taken the confession and was still smiling.

But Yi Shiha's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Di looked down and saw that the leader's signature on the confession was surprisingly the name of Chen Deng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

I flipped through the next one and found that it was Liu He, the minister of Honglu Temple.

These are all important officials of the imperial court.

Many of them were even acquaintances of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was angry but also surprised. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing also knows?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course I... know."

Yi Shiha felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Why didn't Jin Yiwei say something before...?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Just like what you said, Eunuch Yishiha, the matter is of great importance. In order to prevent leaks, the Jinyiwei side has been kept airtight!"

Yi Shiha: "..."

Zhu Di frowned: "When will the Jinyi Guards detect it?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Five months ago."

Zhu Di: "..."

Yi Shiha said: "Since it was detected five months ago, why... why didn't you arrest it at that time?"

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Hey... I came here in a hurry just for this. Your Majesty, Dongchang... this time to scare off the enemy, I... it's really... oh, it's hard to explain in words."

Zhu Di saw the clues and said, "It doesn't matter if you say whatever you want."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty... these people... are beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, so although I have detected it, I have not closed the net, just to let them... contribute to our Ming Dynasty. I originally thought that I would wait for them

After the value has been fully exploited, we will take it down for investigation, but who would have known that Dongchang did not even say hello, but actually... directly took the person... Chen... Chen..."

"Is it beneficial?" The smile on Yi Shiha's face disappeared, and his thick eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

He finally began to come to his senses. Jin Yiwei had been silent for so many days. Is he raising fish?

Zhu Di lowered his head and glanced at the confession, his face became more and more solemn, and said: "What are you doing with such a thief! If you teach them to live for one more day, it will be an advantage for them."

As he spoke, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy.

Just as he was talking, another eunuch came and said: "Your Majesty, all the officials want to see you."

Zhu Di was angry! He glanced at the eunuch coldly: "Okay, everyone's ears and eyes are very good."

He said calmly: "Call everyone in."

Not long after, Yang Rong was the leader, and the others, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Xia Yuanji, Jin Zhongren, etc., entered the palace one after another.

After all the ministers saluted, Zhu Di said politely: "Why are you here, ministers?"

Yang Rong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the factory guards arrested many ministers, so everyone is in danger. I have come here to beg your Majesty to tell me what crime Chen Dengren, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and others have committed?"

Yang Rong looked speechless. It was such an eventful time. So many important officials of the imperial court were suddenly arrested. Now, people in various ministries, temples and prisons were anxious.

It would be unjustifiable for him, a great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, to ignore the matter and not inquire about it.

But he also knew in his heart that there must be a reason.

Zhu Di didn't intend to hide it, and said bluntly: "These people... are all rebels!"

"I wonder...what did you do that made people angry?" Jin Youzi couldn't help but speak at this time. Although he was taciturn, he also knew that this matter was serious.

There were too many ministers involved, some of whom were important ministers of the court themselves, and many others, most of whom were disciples and former officials of certain ministers.

Once these people are captured, everyone will naturally be in danger, and no one has the thought to take responsibility.

Zhu Di said without hesitation: "The evil words are confusing the public!"

At this moment, the ministers were a little unable to hold their nerve.

Yang Rong sighed in his heart, but he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of nonsense this is?"

Zhu Di raised his eyes, glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, "Just ask Zhang Qing."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "I'm too embarrassed to say it, so I'd better ask Eunuch Yishiha to speak."

Yi Shiha: "..."

He didn't want to say this, he didn't want to say that, he was the only one who couldn't shirk it the most.

Yi Shiha said helplessly: "Most of them slander the imperial court, make false claims about the palace, or use prophecies to confuse the people, especially among the prefectures and counties in the world. These nonsense words cause turmoil in people's hearts..."

At this point, all the officials looked ashen.

Because how should we define this thing? If you say evil words, then you will say evil words. Then who will dare to speak in the future?

What's more, it's really unjustifiable to use this as a way to convict someone.

Yang Rong pondered for a moment and then said: "I have also lost Eunuch Ha. Is there any evidence of rebellion?"

Yi Shiha said: "These people... fan the wind to light a fire, how dare they take risks themselves?"

Yang Rong had no choice but to say: "If that's the case, then Your Majesty... would you like to ask the Three Justices to interrogate this case to set the record straight?"

Yang Rong's words are reasonable. After all, it is difficult to define such things as slander, falsehood, and deception. Moreover, this time, too many ministers are involved. The best way is to let the three justices come to the trial.

If there is really an attempt to usurp it, it would be better to stop the people of the world from talking about it.

Zhu Di's face was gloomy and uncertain.

He obviously didn't want to do this, but it was Yang Rong who proposed it. This obviously...has become the consensus of all the officials.

Seeing the officials all panicking, like frightened birds, they were obviously frightened by this sudden big news.

But on the other hand, Zhu Di was reluctant to make this news public. Who knows what these people would say that violated taboos, and Zhu Di wanted to face him.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di said: "I am ordering Dongchang to escort the main criminal and others to the imperial court. I will personally interrogate him in front of all the officials."

Since you suspect that Dongchang has arrested the wrong person, I will ask you in front of you. There is no need to go to the Three Laws Bureau.

I also lost my understanding and was busy making arrangements.

Yang Rong and others all looked uneasy.
