Chapter 21: Regaining the Command of the Talisman
Soon, Xi Ze, who received the news, had a move.
On the night of the first day of April, the warehouse of the King of Qi caught fire "for no reason", and the King of Qi hurriedly ordered people to put out the fire, but in the end the warehouse was burned to the point that only a pile of ashes remained.
The next day, Xi Ze received a secret report: King Qi gathered all his henchmen to plot in Fuyongyuan, deep in the streets and alleys of Suzaku Street.
Xi Ze stood by the window, estimating that the time had come, and said to Xia Wanfeng, who was standing behind him: "The warehouse of King Qi's mansion is on fire, King Qi must be worried about money this time, and there must be someone in the household department." However, for the sake of caution, you still lead your men to travel in casual clothes, pretend to pass by, don't make too much fanfare, and leave enough evidence before acting. This king has ordered the star keeper to lead people to ambush at the mouth of the alley, and as soon as he receives the signal from you, he will act immediately. ”
Xia Wanfeng was ordered to leave, and soon arrested King Qi and others who were plotting how to embezzle the treasury in Fuyongyuan.
Xia Wanfeng didn't dare to make excessive moves towards King Qi, but ordered his subordinates to immediately arrest Zhang Shilang, Dong Shilang, Wei Xin, Wei Zhan and other Qi Wang and his party.
The party of King Qi immediately rioted, but when they saw Wang Shouxing, who led his men to ambush at the mouth of the alley, they had to be arrested.
The early dynasty on the second day of the fourth lunar month is destined to be an early dynasty that is not peaceful
Xia Wanfeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, presented Emperor Jin with the dialogue of the conspiracy of King Qi and his party that he ordered his subordinates to transcribe at the gate of Fuyongyuan yesterday, and the crime of King Qi forming a party for personal gain and coveting the treasury was already confirmed.
Then, Xia Wanfeng ordered someone to take He Di to the main hall.
King Qi looked at He Di who was walking in his direction step by step in a daze, and was stunned for a long time. He remembered that after he impeached Hody that day, he quietly ordered people to poison Hody's meal. As expected, Hody was delirious after being poisoned and died violently that night. As a precaution, the day after He Di's violent death, he disguised himself and saw He Di buried in the ground.
However, at this moment, Hody appeared alive in front of everyone. I saw him kneeling down and kowtowing to Emperor Jin to plead guilty, and confessed how King Qi set up guards to pretend to launch darts to frame King Gong when riding and shooting, and used Qin Tianjian to wantonly disturb the Holy Hearing in an attempt to drive King Gong away, the most important of which was that King Qi had participated in the rebellion against the abolished prince, but he temporarily defected when he saw that something was wrong.
It was not until this moment that King Qi realized that He Di faked his death in order to let him relax his vigilance, and his every move had already fallen into the eyes of others, so He Di was not a real traitor, and Yan Congwen, who said yesterday that he was not sick, was a spy sent by others.
In the face of such ironclad evidence, King Qi knew that the general trend was gone, and did not make too many arguments for himself.
However, when Emperor Jin angrily asked him whether he was involved in the case of King Zhao, he immediately knelt down and shouted wronged: "Father Emperor Mingjian, although the son is jealous of King Gong's military exploits, but he has no trouble with King Zhao, he is the brother of the son, the son is no matter how obsessed he is, he can't do anything to kill his own siblings, and the wrong thing that the son has done is willing to confess his sins and repent, however, if someone takes the opportunity to fall into the well and deduct the charge, the son of the son is also dead and blind, ask his father and the emperor to see it, the case of King Zhao has nothing to do with the son!" ”
Emperor Jin was furious: "Can't do anything to kill your own siblings?!" So on that day, in order to help Ximin rebel, you abandoned Prince Yan's 100,000 army and did not attack, didn't you want to use Prince Yan's hand to trap King Gong to death? Isn't King Gong your own sibling? Do you think I'm really too old to distinguish between right and wrong? King Gong returned to the palace, I didn't punish you, I didn't really believe that you came back to save you, I just wanted to give you a chance to reform yourself, I don't want you to intensify your efforts and hit the treasury with your ideas, even King Zhao, who lost his position and was demoted, you didn't let go! If you really didn't get involved in this, then why did King Zhao die because of the same poison in his body as the princess? That poison is not an ordinary poison, and the imperial doctor still doesn't know it, so how can everyone get it at will? Now that you refuse to confess your guilt, then tell me who else is an accomplice in the horse shooting? ”
King Qi turned his head to look at the ministers behind him, and searched for a long time but did not find Yan Congwen.
At this moment, the chamberlain hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu Yan of the Ministry of Rites had a sudden illness last night, and he died of illness just now!" ”
King Qi laughed when he heard the news, and there was a little self-deprecation in that laughter, desolate and desperate: "Yan Congwen is dead? Yan Congwen is dead! That person is so ruthless, he abandoned the car so quickly to protect the handsome! Father, the son also wants to know who is the accomplice in the horse shooting, but now Yan Congwen, the only person who can prove this person, is dead, and no one will be able to stand on this Jinluan Hall to point out the murderer behind this scene for the son! ”
King Qi paused, he put away his desperate smile, and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Jin, with an extremely solemn expression: "Father, this charge of framing King Gong, forming a party for personal gain, and coveting the treasury is willing to admit and accept punishment, but King Zhao's matter has nothing to do with his sons, and Father Emperor Shengming will definitely not be unfair!" ”
Emperor Jin was silent when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say: "Xi Ze, the case of King Zhao is your prime minister, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Xi Ze shook his hand and said: "Back to my father, my sons think that it is hasty to convict King Qi with poison alone, so why don't we strictly investigate the Qi Palace!" ”
King Qi sneered when he heard this: "You don't have to pretend to be a good person here!" The warehouses of my palace have been burned to ashes, what else is there to check? ”
Xi Ze turned to face King Qi and said lukewarmly: "You don't have to do it so thoroughly to destroy the corpses, right?" ”
"Shouldn't you know best why my warehouse caught fire?" A fierce hatred flashed in King Qi's eyes, "Who did King Zhao's matter, just look at who is the biggest beneficiary of this, isn't it clear?" If your divine doctor can detoxify it, can't he make it? ”
"Ninth brother, do you really hate me so much......"
"Enough!" Emperor Jin shouted, "This matter has its own conclusion, you don't need to fight anymore!" No matter who is the real murderer, I will never spare it! Someone came, escorted the King of Qi down, sealed the Qi Palace, and strictly interrogated everyone in the Qi Palace! ”
In the inner prison, King Qi confessed to the charges of helping the abolished prince to rebel, framing King Gong, forming a party for personal gain, and coveting the state treasury, but he did not admit to killing King Zhao.
At this point, the case of King Zhao has finally become an unsolved case, and what is puzzling is that Emperor Jin did not do too much investigation.
After nearly a month, Emperor Jin finally made a final judgment on the king of Qi: deprived the king of Qi from his position and title, and exiled him to Minzhou.
The party of the king of Qi was degraded and punished because of the loss of power of the king of Qi, so some high-level official positions, especially several official positions in the Ministry of Industry, were vacant, and the seemingly calm Jin court was surging again due to the transfer of personnel, and all the kings were staring at the fat shortage of the Ministry of Industry, trying to insert their own henchmen. However, the official in charge of personnel transfers, Fu Ikawa, was an absolute "neutralist", and under his unbiased and impartial style, the kings' "attempts" ended in failure.
