But it's too late now. The file has been interrogated and the case is over. I can't modify or destroy it at this time, otherwise my crime will be very serious.
But these are not the most urgent tasks now. After letting these two people fight each other, I should go to the palace.
"You two, now is not the time to argue. Should we report this matter to His Majesty in the palace?"
The two men looked at each other, then turned to look at Han Kuang with unfriendly eyes.
You're the good guy now, you were the one who started the discord. But the two of them also knew that this was not the time to argue with Han Yu, and the first thing they had to do was to go to the palace and see His Majesty.
The three of them quickly reached a consensus and rushed to the palace.
At this time, in the Forbidden City, inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Youxiao was listening to Chen Hong's report. He asked hesitantly, "Are your people keeping an eye on him? How did Zou Yuanbiao die?"
"Your Majesty, he was not killed by anyone. It should be a relapse of his old illness." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, but he also knew that it was useless. No matter how he explained it, no one would believe that Zou Yuanbiao died of illness.
People always believe that there is something behind things, that it must not be simple, and that there must be a conspiracy.
So there is no point in explaining this matter, and there is no way to clarify it.
"Your Majesty, Cabinet Grand Secretary Han Yu, Eastern Factory Wei Zhongxian, and Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander-in-Chief Luo Sigong are requesting to see you outside." After hearing what a young eunuch said, Chen Hong hurried to Zhu Youxiao and spoke slowly.
Nodding gently, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let them in."
Their presence here was expected. With such a major incident occurring, they naturally came to him first to report it and ask what he should do. None of them wanted to take responsibility, and no one dared to take the initiative.
So this matter will eventually fall on him. Zhu Youxiao felt a little sad, thinking that he would probably be labeled as a tyrant.
I have been charged with the crime of harming loyal and good people. Zou Yuanbiao's death was just the beginning. These people may not know how to frame me, but there is nothing I can do. I have to take the responsibility I should take. Otherwise, why not let others take the blame?
Is Wei Zhongxian or Luo Sigong more suitable? Or Han Yu?
While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this matter, three people finally walked in from outside.
After they had saluted, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What brings you three here? What's the matter?"
Han Yu stepped forward. It was his turn to speak now, as he was the presiding judge. So he recounted the entire incident in detail, including the results of the East Factory and Imperial Guards' investigation, which concluded that the patient had died of illness.
Nodding gently, Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked, "How could such a thing happen?"
None of the three of them spoke. God knows why this happened. Your Majesty, you asked us to explain, but we can't explain it clearly, so let's just stop talking.
Zhu Youxiao knew that none of these three people wanted to take the blame, so to put it bluntly, they wanted to tell the outside world that Zou Yuanbiao died of illness. As for what the outsiders thought and criticized, they didn't care. Aren't they just cowards?
I'll just lie on the ground and not move, no matter how you scold me. How can you not let this go?
Zhu Youxiao wanted to slap these three people one by one for their ideas. How could this be done? This operation was not acceptable.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu and said, "The case will be heard here for now. Please compile the interrogation files and send them to the palace. Han Yu, I appoint you as the Minister of Funeral Affairs, with full responsibility for Zou Yuanbiao's funeral arrangements."
This is also a benefit given by the court to ministers. If you die in office, the court will arrange someone to handle your funeral. This person is the minister in charge of funerals. At the same time, the court will also arrange someone to notify your family and ask your family to pick you up.
Han Yu's mouth was full of bitterness. If he was asked to do this job, he might be scolded to death.
But when the time came, he could not refuse, so he could only bow and say, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command."
After instructing Han Yu, Zhu Youxiao turned his gaze to Luo Sigong and Wei Zhongxian, "Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this incident happened in your two places. Go and investigate the matter for me. Solve the case within a time limit. If you fail to do so, you will be severely punished."
The two men looked at each other and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."
No matter how things are handled in the end, you have to set the stage first. No matter how ridiculous the final result is, the process must be taken seriously, and it must be taken seriously from top to bottom.
"Okay, you three go and get busy." Zhu Youxiao said.
Watching the three men leave, Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Hong, "Go to the Zou family and comfort them on my behalf. If they have any requests, ask them for me."
This attitude is still necessary.
