Although Du Hanfei has only seen these privately forged weapons once over the years, he recognized them at a glance.
This incident was discovered by Ren, the official Yin of Suzhou ten years ago, and was almost stabbed out. Fortunately, his people found it and informed him in time. Du Hanfei wanted to force and lure Ren to take it for his own use. He didn't want Ren to go to Beijing to face the saint without oil and salt. Du Hanfei had no choice but to plant an army and blame Ren.
That year, Long Yan was so angry that he beheaded Ren's family. Du Hanfei also saw the weapons presented in Beijing for the first time.
Later, he knew that the matter of private casting was a big matter, the process was cumbersome, and many people talked about it. It was inevitable to leak the news. Although all the people in Suzhou were his people after Ren's death, it moved his whole body.
Therefore, shortly after Ren's death, Du Hanfei completely ended the private casting of weapons.
Now, where did these weapons come from?
"Emperor, these weapons seem to be..." Yu Yecheng recognized them at a glance and hesitated to speak.
In those days, the matter of Ren adult was too big. I heard that before he was beheaded, he cried blood and pleaded his grievances every word. But there were all kinds of evidence and evidence. The emperor finally sentenced him to be beheaded.
Now, this adult has been dead for ten years, and these privately cast weapons can still reappear in the world. Does it also mean that adult Ren was wronged in that year.
"I can see." The emperor interrupted Yu Yecheng and turned to Xiao Zimu: "where did you get these weapons?"
Xiao Zimu looked at Xue Xiuguo standing aside: "father, you have to ask Lord Xue about this before you know the inside story."
The emperor's eyes moved, and Xue Xiuguo knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and trembled: "the emperor forgives me. These weapons were forged by Du Cheng as ordered by the officials."
Du Hanfei looked at the favorite student kneeling on the ground. He only felt the blood rising in his brain and fainted in front of him. He walked over and kicked him: "Xue Xiuguo, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Seeing that Du Hanfei was going to punch and kick him, Yu Yecheng quickly stopped in front of Xue Xiuguo and said to Du Hanfei with a dignified face: "the emperor hasn't spoken yet, Prime Minister Du."
Du Hanfei was shocked that he had lost his state in his anger. He lost his sense of propriety in front of the emperor and quickly knelt down to apologize: "the old minister was angry for a moment, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Princess Yirou also came over to intercede: "brother, how can Hanfei do such a thing?"
Shi Jiaying had just been sent to her bridal chamber. General Shi had no choice but to stand aside and added: "the emperor should let Prime Minister Du get up first. If there is a misunderstanding, you can see this happy day..."
The Emperor gave a cold hum and said, "get up first and let him finish."
Du Hanfei wanted to say that the emperor should not listen to his nonsense, but Xiao Yanjun's suggestion sounded in his ear: "prime minister Du is not ready to get up and get out of the way. My father is anxious to ask."
He looked up at the emperor's urgent face. He couldn't persuade him, so he had to get up and give way to one side.
"You have explained the whole story of this matter to me in detail." The emperor's eyes were burning, and he ordered Xue Xiuguo.
Xue Xiuguo had just been kicked to the ground by Du Hanfei, but he had not got up yet. He listened to the emperor, Then he knelt down again and began to narrate: "ten years ago, there was a lot of noise. The matter of the private casting of weapons by Lord Ren, the governor of Suzhou, was framed by Prime Minister Du. He accidentally broke the matter. He wanted to go to Beijing to report back to the saint, but Du Hanfei knew in advance and sent someone to do it first, which misled the emperor."
"Emperor, don't..." Du Hanfei couldn't bear to hear this, but he just said a few words and was directly scolded and interrupted by the emperor.
"If you say one more word, I'll consider you guilty." When the emperor said this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "when he finished, I will naturally let you explain it one by one."
Du Hanfei was stunned. He didn't even dare to answer "yes". He bowed to the emperor and nodded.
Xue Xiuguo was interrupted by Du Hanfei and paused. At the beginning of summer, it seemed that he inadvertently looked at Bing Wen standing aside.
Among the crowd, everyone's attention was focused on Xue Xiuguo.
Therefore, no one has seen Bingwen clenching his teeth and clenching his hands. His body trembles slightly and is trying to suppress his emotions.
Xue Xiuguo has tried his best to protect the emperor in his words. Du Hanfei deliberately misled the emperor about the events of that year, but he glanced at the emperor with his remaining light. His face was dark and blue, which made people scared. He stabilized his mind and then said: "after this incident, prime Minister Du knew that this matter was big and stopped for a period of time.
But later, Wanzhou raised some private soldiers, and slowly the number became larger and larger. Those private soldiers always needed weapons. In addition, three years after taking office, Prime Minister Du became bolder again.
After thinking about it, he decided to move the former batch of foundry people in Suzhou to Wanzhou.
At that time, there was a vacancy in the position of the prefect of Wuzhou. In the palace, he ran into Lord Ju, who went to Yaohua palace to meet princess Lian. His face was full of anger.
After a little inquiry, she learned that Ju Meishan, who was originally looking for a job for her son, went into the palace and begged Princess Lian. Princess Lian read her sisterly affection and asked Lord Ju to enter the palace to arrange a leisure position for Zheng Zhongguang.
Lord Ju refused at that time, but Du Hanfei knew about it and had a plan. He immediately drafted the appointment document of the governor of Wuzhou, sent someone to Zheng's house and handed it to Ju Meishan.
There are just a few people who will take the blame for forging weapons privately. It's just that if no one has found it all the time.
If one day he is smashed, Prime Minister Du can also take advantage of the situation to shift the blame to Zheng Zhongguang. Lord Ju has always disagreed with his political views. At that time, he can also take Lord Ju into the water. He can still rest assured with his private forged weapons. "
At this time, Lord Ju knew that Zheng Zhongguang's official position was arranged by Du Hanfei. Fortunately, he thought it was the empress of concubine Lian a few days ago and accepted those Curses for Du Hanfei.
Although Lord Ju always disagreed with Prime Minister Du, he never thought that he was so vicious and kind-hearted. Fortunately, he came to attend his son's wedding today and prepared a big gift.
Ju Da's whole body trembled. He was about to speak, but he looked up and saw Xiao Zimu give him a slightly calm look, which forced him to bite his teeth and swallow back.
At this time, Xiao mubai seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and reminded the Emperor: "father, can you remember that in the imperial study, the post of prefect of Wuzhou was originally pending. After Prime Minister Du returned, he nominated Zheng Zhongguang for this post."
It's hard for the emperor to remember Xiao mubai's detailed reminder.
Therefore, he turned his head and took a deep look at Du Hanfei, who stood aside with a nervous face.
"I remember, there is such a thing."
