Huan Ji saw everyone quietly and said: "Today is my home field, everything will be led by me, I will set aside time for you to ask questions, I will not take all your words to heart today, I just want the truth to be revealed." Let me ask you in advance, about the matter of Jiannan Dao and the assassination of me, did anyone feel that they were wrong and came out to confess their guilt? I give you half a pillar of incense time to think, and those who take the initiative to confess their sins will be punished lightly. Don't thank me, your majesty won it for you. If you don't take the initiative to ask for guilt now, wait for my human and physical evidence to come up, and all of them will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and then don't say that the emperor doesn't think about flesh and blood. As for me, you can think whatever you like, say whatever you want, I don't care. Of course, you can only say it behind my back, but whatever I hear, a whip is indispensable. After speaking, Huanji glanced at the whip in her hand.
The court was very quiet, and the father-in-law behind Huan Ji carefully walked up with an incense burner with half an incense stick.
Everyone looked at the burning incense, and many people's hearts were drumming, and they didn't know if Princess Huanji had really found evidence or was blowing them up.
The smoke rose slowly, and the incense ash fell little by little, burning shorter and shorter, and finally someone couldn't stand it.
The eighteenth prince of Xuanzong knelt down with a puff, kowtowed, and said, "This king knows that he is wrong, and he begs the imperial sister to spare my life in front of my father." ā
The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at the eighteen princes in shock, what did this prince who was silent on weekdays do.
One by one, thoughts popped up in their minds, and the eleventh princess in the princess team secretly said "waste".
Huan Ji's cold voice came from inside the veil: "I don't care about the fact that you let people assassinate me, but what do you want to collude with Tibet?" ā
The eighteenth prince was already scared, since she really found out.
The eighteenth prince honestly explained the matter between him and the prince of Tubo, and the prince of Tubo promised him that as long as the Tang Dynasty was in civil strife, he would lead his troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would be divided into two, and they would be one and a half.
The ministers of the court and the central government were originally dissatisfied with the emperor, and the other princes and princesses were ambitious, and only this stupid emperor still regarded them as close relatives. As soon as Emperor Taizu died, the emperor's only reliance was on Princess Huanji.
The matter of Jiannan Road is not within the jurisdiction of Princess Huanji, and this trip to Jiannan Road is full of dangers, if Princess Huanji dies because of this matter, the people of Qingzhou will definitely not give up, so he and the prince of Tubo proposed to assassinate Princess Huanji.
The Manchu Dynasty had a very good atmosphere in the civil and military forces, most of them were veterans of the Three Dynasties, and more than half of them followed Emperor Taizu to recover the Li family. Although they felt that the little emperor was too merciful in their hearts, they would never support the rebellious ministers and thieves. They will not look down on the prince who was used by Tubo, otherwise they would have a face to see Emperor Taizu after they died.
The emperor was also very angry, Princess Huanji didn't elaborate yesterday, because of time, she just said the people involved.
Princess Huanji asked in front of the emperor: "Abolish the eighteenth prince's family as concubines, expel the royal family, confiscate all property and expel from Beijing." ā
Seeing that Huan Ji did not execute himself, he knelt on the ground to thank him, and Huan Ji said: "The eighteen emperor brothers are good at their own thing. And are you going to take the initiative to admit your guilt, but have you thought about it? ā
There was silence all around, and no one came out to confess their sins.
Huan Ji asked the eunuch to remove the incense burner.
Huan Ji got up and said: "Wait a minute, Qingzhou officials will come to explain to you, if there is any problem, wait until you have seen the evidence, and you have seen human and physical evidence." I have not allowed you to speak, and no one is allowed to interrupt. When the Qingzhou officials are finished, I will give you time to ask questions. Your Majesty, you can begin. ā
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I will open my eyes today to see all the uncles, aunts, and how you treat me. ā
The chief steward behind the emperor shouted: "Pass the Qingzhou officials to the palace." ā
The Qingzhou officials lined up neatly to the main hall, and behind them were the Qingzhou soldiers who came up carrying the evidence. They were neatly dressed and walked in unison, and it was difficult for the officials in the court to think too much about it, where were the ordinary guards.
The court was quiet, and they all knew that Duke Huanji was about to open the knife.
The officials of Qingzhou neatly bowed to the emperor, and then bowed to Princess Huanji.
The civil and military officials in the court were very puzzled, and Princess Huanji generously explained: "In Qingzhou, there is no kneeling and worshipping. ā
The ministers of the court had different ideas, and some people sighed: The princess respects His Majesty from the bottom of her heart, and she has not been the emperor of a state.
Some people think that she is pretending, no matter what, the emperor is useful, he has known about this for a long time, Qingzhou really did not bow down, whether it is the people or officials, they all bow when they see Princess Huanji.
The emperor nodded to Huan Ji, indicating that he knew about it.
Huan Ji also nodded to His Majesty.
Huan Ji thought to herself: You think too much, I just don't like them to kneel when they see me.
The officials from Qingzhou were: the Independent Commission Against Corruption - the chief judge of the thorough investigation of the matter, they supervised everything, and promised not to wronged anyone and not let anyone go;
Security Section - to protect the safety of Qingzhou officials, as well as to protect witnesses, arrest suspects, and interrogate witnesses;
The Department of Law - study the laws of the Tang Dynasty and convict them, they want all the people of the Tang Dynasty to know how Princess Huanji holds a pen in her left hand to calm the world, and wields a sword in her right hand to settle the world;
The Financial Secretary - to study the financial revenue and expenditure of Kennan Province, and the flow of money, they will not let go of anyone who has been involved in this matter, even if it is just to collect money to do things;
The Chief Secretary for Administration - Research on coal mines to participate in the calculation of the population and the calculation of missing persons, they will not let any Tang people disappear into the world for no reason, as the saying goes, geese have left traces and people have left sounds;
Department of Transportation - Draw a map of Kennan Road, predict the escape route of prisoners and the route of arrest, etc., and make sure that some of them are under their control;
The Hospital Authority - interrogates criminals, treats injured people, they make sure that any witnesses, prisoners are alive, and they also make sure that their physical condition is in the best condition, and they make a series of assessment reports on the miners' bodies.
All the departments of the Qingzhou Mansion participated in this operation, who let those people touch their bottom line - the safety of Princess Huanji. They performed their duties and invested the greatest manpower and material resources to weave a big net, they wanted to arrest all those who were unfavorable to the princess, and convict them in front of the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty.
