The late emperor has passed away, and everything that happened in the past has dissipated. It is difficult to figure out this problem. After all, no one is the emperor himself, so I don't know what he thought.

Shang Junlin also knew that it was useless to think about this issue, and quickly turned the topic back: "This Master Zeng, I have had contact with him, and he is a rare good official. The relationship between the monarch and the minister was harmonious, and the relationship between the two was gradually estranged after the late emperor listened to the traitor."

"I also remember that this Master Zeng had a good reputation among the people. After he was killed by a traitor, many people in the people worshipped him spontaneously. There was even a great Confucian who wrote an article saying that the last light in the court went out." This matter was widely discussed in Beijing, and even Shen Yu lived in the Hou residence, and heard a thing or two.

Later, Shen Yu had his own power in his hands, and he had a general understanding of the big and small things that happened in the DPRK, especially the memory of Mrs. Zeng.

Shang Junlin: "If he didn't die at the time, then the authenticity of the murder needs to be investigated. The late emperor did kill a lot of people in the court for him at that time, including traitors and some innocent people."

Shen Yu: "What about the file back then? How was it recorded?"

Shang Junlin: "After Fang Jun found out the identity of the person behind the scenes, he immediately looked at the dossier. It was recorded that as I said before, Mrs. Zeng was already a 'dead man'."

Shen Yu: "It's no wonder that no one has been found before. A person who has 'dead' will naturally not be placed on the suspect list. When Master Zeng 'died', His Majesty had already made a name for himself in the court. Did he start to doubt it? How did he know who would end up on the throne?"

Shang Junlin: "When I was young, I was mostly at the border, and I didn't know much about the mind of the late emperor. When the incident with Mrs. Zeng happened, I was far away at the border. When I came back, the dust had settled. As for the backhands left by the late emperor, I didn't know it at first, but after encountering an assassination, I slowly found out that the late emperor left far more things than I imagined."

Shen Yu: "According to this, if he wants to make King Yue the new king, he can give him the crown prince position in advance, but no, the first emperor never let go of the crown prince from beginning to end."

If another prince was established and Shang Junlin wanted to succeed the throne, it would be a lot of trouble, but the previous emperor did not. As the only direct son of the late emperor, Shang Junlin inherited the throne of Dahuan of course, not to mention that he also had great military exploits and held Dahuan in his hand. Most of the military power, other princes have no power to fight against him.

Besides, Mr. Zeng, why don't Mr. Tan and others know his true identity? Why did he never show his true colors in front of his subordinates? Because he can't, a deceased person reappearing in the world is bound to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"How did Master Fang find out his true identity? Also, he shouldn't have used his original appearance, right?" Shen Yu asked, if he used his own appearance, he should have been recognized when he was first caught. That's it.

Although it has been more than ten years, Mr. Zeng has left a deep impression in the hearts of the world. When Mr. Fang first entered the court, Mr. Zeng was still active in the court. It is said that Mr. Fang once almost worshipped Mr. Zeng. Under the master.

"This incident is also a coincidence. It happened that Fang Jun interrogated a doctor who came to the prison to test the medicine that day, and saw the traces of the potion used on Zeng's face. After the appearance was restored, Fang Jun recognized it at a glance."

"Isn't Mr. Fang startled?" Anyone who sees a person who should have died for many years in front of him can't calm down.

"Yes, if it weren't for this accident, the true identity of the person behind the scenes would not have been so easy to find out."

After the real identity of the person behind the scenes was revealed, the court was shocked.

Those who entered the dynasty as officials more or less knew something about the period of the late emperor, not to mention the matter of Taifu Zeng who shocked the court and the opposition at that time.

Who is Mrs. Zeng? It was a clear stream in the late period of the late emperor's reign. He was a good official who was praised by countless scholars and writers. Now tell them that Taifu Zeng stood behind the king of Yue to help him rebel. The first reaction of many people is that they don't believe it. .

"Is this... is there a misunderstanding?"

"Teacher Zeng was clean and honest throughout his life. He worked hard for Da Huan. After he was demoted, he was killed by a traitor. Now he says he didn't die?"

"Not only did he not die, but he also committed serious crimes such as assassination and treason."

"I can't figure it out, why?"

"Why are there so many reasons? You want to know if you can go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and ask him, maybe you can get some useful information from him."

The ministers in the DPRK, including Fang Jun, have deep doubts in their hearts.

Unlike others, Fang Jun can ask himself face-to-face.

In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Mrs. Zeng was tied to a post, and Fang Jun sat opposite him, feeling complicated.

He once looked forward to the character of the other party, and imagined that if the other party was not harmed by the traitor, Da Huan's turmoil would be reduced a bit. Now this person really appeared in front of him again, but in this way.

"Why did Taifu do this?" Fang Jun continued to use the previous title.

"Taifu..." Zeng Taifu looked in a trance, "It's been a long time since no one called me that, why do you do this? It's just to follow orders."

"Whose order?" Fang Jun frowned.

"Besides the late emperor, who else could there be?" Mrs. Zeng laughed in a low voice, his voice hoarse.

"It was the late emperor who asked you to overthrow Da Huan's country? Why did he do this?" Fang Jun was puzzled.

"Who knows? He is the king and I am a minister, and I must obey his orders, right? Just like now, what Shang Junlin wants you to do, no matter how outrageous it is, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can only do it. Do it." Mrs. Zeng looked strange, seemed to be laughing, and seemed to be mocking something.

Fang Jun looked serious: "Your Majesty is Your Majesty. He will not do anything that would harm Da Huan. Now this official is interrogating you. Don't involve other places. What order did the late emperor give you?"

"Don't you know? Helping the King of Yue ascend to the throne," Zeng Taifu's mouth sneered even more, "Why does Master Fang ask over and over again, and if you don't believe it after telling you, then say, your emperor wants to give me peace. What crime? What do you want me to confess to?"

Fang Jun was not provoked, and his voice was still calm: "The He family is also yours?"

"You said it was the He family who was so stupid that he sent his whole family to prison?" Mrs. Zeng sneered, "It's just a stupid dog."

"Why do you want to attack your noble lord?" Fang Jun gave him a dispassionate look, "Don't say that this was also ordered by the late emperor."

"You've said all the words, what else do you want me to say, Mr. Fang?"

An interrogation seems to have asked a lot of information, but in fact very little is really useful.

After finishing the confession and interrogation process, Fang Jun sent it to the palace.

Royal study.

Fang Jun knelt on the ground, and Eunuch Meng took the confession from him and handed it to Shang Junlin with both hands.

Shang Junlin picked up the confession, unfolded it, and read it at a glance, his eyes sank slightly: "Make arrangements, I want to see him."

"Your Majesty?" Fang Jun raised his head in amazement.

Shang Junlin rubbed the confession in his hand, his voice without the slightest emotion: "There are some things, I want to confirm it myself."

Fang Jun knew that what Shang Junlin was determined to do would not be influenced by others, so he swallowed the words of dissuasion: "The minister follows the order."

Fang Jun went to the Ministry of Punishment ahead of schedule, and the Minister of Punishment was walking beside him, quite incomprehensible: "Why does Your Majesty want to come suddenly?"

"What Your Majesty is going to do, how can we, as ministers, keep our mouth shut?" Fang Jun continued to arrange without turning his head.

"No," said the minister of punishment in an eager tone, "this person is a single-handed planner to attempt a rebellion. In case, the lower official said that in case something happens to your majesty, can you and I afford it?"

"So make arrangements in advance to nip all possible dangers in the bud."

"Don't Mr. Fang think that if His Majesty doesn't come, he can kill all danger from the source?" The Minister of Punishment said quietly.

Fang Jun stopped: "Then you should persuade Your Majesty?"

"Forget it, let's make arrangements." The Minister of Punishment wiped his face and joined Fang Jun's actions.

The Ministry of Punishment was busy for a while because the Holy Drive was to be ushered in soon.

"I always feel that this matter has been ignored, and I plan to meet Mr. Zeng in person." In the Yuzhang Palace, Shang Junlin and Shen Yu explained their plans.

"King Yue is also imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, right?" Shen Yu poured a cup of tea for Shang Junlin, "Your Majesty, try it, it's the new tea that just arrived."

Shang Junlin took the tea cup and took a sip: "Yes, Ayu suddenly asked him what to do?"

"The people behind the scenes have caught it. Shouldn't it be time for Your Majesty to deal with King Yue?"

"Yes, he was kept for the purpose of drawing out the people behind the scenes. Now that people have caught it, Shang Junyue doesn't need to keep it." Shang Junlin didn't have any favorable impression of King Yue.

After listening to Shang Junlin's words, Shen Yu fell silent.

Noticing his strangeness, Shang Junlin put down the tea cup, raised his gloomy chin, and said in a dangerous voice, "Ayu is not happy?"

Shen Yu shook his head: "It always feels like things are going too smoothly."

It took so long to catch someone, saying that it was smooth is nothing. Shen Yu also knew this, but he was just a little uneasy.

"Don't think about it so much, I will never let people escape again." Shang Junlin let go of his hand and stood up, "I heard from the punishment department that Shang Junyue's situation is not very good now, Ruo Ayu really cares, and I go together."

"When does Your Majesty plan to go?"

"Just two days."

Shen Yu stood up and walked to Shang Junlin's side: "King Yue knows that the one who has been supporting him is Mr. Zeng?"

Shang Junlin: "I don't seem to know, he only knows that the late emperor left him a lot of things, but so far, only a very small part of these things have come to him. According to his confession, this time Raising troops, he can be said to be 'forced', less than 10% of the troops that were annihilated listened to his orders."

Shen Yu: "In this way, it is not so much that the King of Yue rebelled, but rather that the people behind the King of Yue are raising troops in his name. If you say this, the real purpose of Taifu Zeng is still open to question. What he did is really true. Is it just to send the King of Yue to the throne?"

"Definitely not," Shang Junlin would never easily believe what someone said, "perhaps once he simply obeyed the orders of the late emperor and took the opportunity to assist the King of Yue to ascend to the throne, but after so many years of his power, no one can guarantee that, The thoughts in his mind have not changed."

Power is the thing that can change a person's heart the most.
