Chapter 319: Ling Chi's Enlightenment
The assassination of the emperor is naturally an earth-shattering event, and if one is not good, then it will be a river of blood.
Enraged, the emperor immediately summoned a group of ministers to interrogate the assassins, find out who was behind them, and arrest those involved. For a while, the whole dynasty shook, and everyone was frightened. For fear that if one is not careful, he will be implicated.
None of the Assassins escaped, but when they were interrogated, there was no meaningful news. One qiē is just selling murder. How much IQ can a killer who dares to take on the task of assassinating the emperor have?
Even if it was interrogated repeatedly, there was no meaningful news.
In the end, the interrogator had to think of something else.
In addition to these assassins, the horses that went berserk that day were also extremely abnormal. Not to mention, this horse is not something that ordinary people can equip. There must be a place for this group of horses with so many brains. How could these horses be so coincidental that they went crazy at this time, and the route they traveled was so coincidental that they just collided with the royal driver?
It is necessary to know that when traveling by royal car, the road will be closed and swept in the past three days, and idlers and miscellaneous people will avoid it.
These horses naturally have a provenance, and a check will find the source.
These horses, from the horse farm near the hunting ground, why the horses appear there, why they go crazy, has become a mystery again.
The herding boy was found unconscious in the grass on the side of the road. It wasn't until half an hour after the incident that he was found by the hounds and dragged out.
There was nothing wrong with the horse, it was not poisoned, and it was not injured. But everyone knows that it is impossible to have no problems, and the only possibility is that the person who started it is skillful.
If you can't find out, you will investigate deeply, plus someone will exert pressure and guide you a little.
Above the early dynasty, the emperor had a gloomy face and glared at the officials of the criminal department who replied.
"You mean, this horse farm secretly sold war horses to other countries?" Le Chen looked at the news reported by the people below, and there was no big reaction on his face: "Our big man has not stopped anyone from doing business with the next country. ”
"The emperor is benevolent, has always loved the people like a son, and is unwilling to restrain the people. However, their horses were sold at a very cheap, unreasonable price. The price of a good war horse is even lower than the price of the worst meat horse. Merchants are heavily profitable, and such a price is enough to make people suspect that they have other plans. ”
Naturally, someone jumped out: "Even if a businessman makes a profit, he still buys and sells, as long as the price is right, both parties agree, and there is nothing wrong with it." It is very inappropriate to rashly accuse and convict. ”
Indeed, the low price only shows that the seller is stupid.
"If it's a side object, it's fine, but the war horse must not be neglected. It is important to know that a war horse is equal to a cavalryman. Selling the Han Dynasty's war horses to neighboring countries is equivalent to weakening the Han Dynasty's cavalry and making neighboring countries stronger. Such behavior is not only about raising tigers, but even about collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. ”
Alarmist, but true. Prevention is also necessary.
And this is the result that Lechen wants. So, he had to let this thing go on. And do it as if it were a real big thing.
"Your suspicions alone do not convict people without grounds. But your suspicions are not unfounded, since that is the case. Then check it out. ”
"Commandment."
With the Holy Will, it is naturally much more convenient and bold to check later. Even if some people are dissatisfied, or even someone obstructs it, they can directly mobilize some troops and enforce it forcefully.
I don't know, I just think I'm still investigating the assassination of the emperor. Those who know understand that when it comes to this kind of direction, it must not be taken lightly. Even if the emperor looks like he is casual and understated. The Assassin could have been asked: "The buyer wants us to assassinate the man in the sedan chair." If they are all killed, they will get ten thousand taels of gold. Eight thousand taels of gold for women, and two thousand taels for men. "When they learned the news, they knew that nothing that had anything to do with that assassination would end well.
It took nearly half a month to finally find out several other horse farms. Several families joined forces to send war horses to foreign countries.
Later, it was found out that those families actually secretly sold inferior horses to the army of the Han Dynasty, and bought high-grade war horses from the Han military camp, and even stole them and resold them to other countries......
The evidence is in front of us, and it can no longer be denied.
Even so, there is still no conviction. To be exact, the convictions that can be convicted of these crimes are not enough to satisfy Lechen. So, continue to dig deeper.
Lechen even sent the secret guards around him to support.
It took a month to finally find out clearly.
Several clan elders of the Lejia family were all announced to the main hall, and hundreds of civil and military officials were placed on both sides, and the evidence was laid out one by one.
In the past three years, the three horse farms have stolen a total of 3,000 war horses from the army. and colluded with someone in the army to exchange inferior horses for superior horses. Then smuggle the horses to the neighboring countries.
And someone who colluded with them eventually found out about Lejia.
In the homes of several clan elders, letters with neighboring countries were found. It is clearly written that Lejia sent people to several other countries, and in those places, secretly hid troops and prepared to rebel.
Those war horses were not sold, but prepared for rebellion.
If it weren't for Xinze's side, in order to coax the prince and let the royal family open the door of convenience, they gave him a few horses that the prince fancied, and let Le Hong just find out. This kind of quiet thing will not be discovered until the moment they raise their troops.
I have to say that the Han is still very tolerant of the people in all aspects, especially in business...... Unexpectedly, the people of the Guang family did not hesitate to take advantage of the loopholes. Add to Lechen's death.
All the evidence was in front of him, and the patriarchs and elders of the Le family were all like ashes.
Rebellion is a capital offense at all times. Xu knew that he was going to die, so they simply broke the jar and broke it, and actually pointed at Lechen's nose and scolded.
"We're doing this to clean up the portal. You are not a descendant, and you do not recognize the sins of your ancestors. It should have been scraped by a thousand knives and went to eighteen layers of hell. ”
"You killed the king and killed your father, betrayed your virtue and forgot your ancestors, you are not worthy of being a king."
"If you still have a little conscience, you should go to the ancestral tablet and apologize for your sins with death."
“……”
Accusations, curses, roared over the Jinluan Palace.
The ministers bowed their heads deeply, and they didn't dare to come out. Lechen sat high on the dragon chair, and did not react to their words at all.
It's just that the next moment, a strong killing aura suddenly appeared on his body. It's just because one person scolded: "It's just that you marry the daughter of a slut, but you abandon the harem for a slut, regardless of the heirs." You're just ...... Yes! Before he finished speaking, he was slapped out by Le Chen's volley, hit the pillar, blood gushed out of his mouth, his expression was aggrieved, and he couldn't live.
The murderous aura permeated the main hall, and the ministers already knew that the queen mother was the emperor's counter-scale. When he heard the man scold something like that, he was prepared. Despite this, his face was still pale because of his murderous aura.
And those people in Lejia are miserable. They were unprepared, let alone aware, that there were things they could not touch. Even, they are still a little fearless.
Even if they do something, they even scold. They are still the emperor's elders, and no matter how angry the emperor is, it is impossible to do anything to them in front of so many people.
Unexpectedly, seeing that the usual old brother was slapped to death with a palm, they finally recovered. The emperor really has no affection for them.
For a while, all of them looked ugly. wanted to speak again, but was overwhelmed by Lechen's momentum, and he couldn't even breathe, so how could he still have the ability to speak.
"All those who participated in the rebellion were sent to labor camps and served for life. His family was demoted to servitude. Within three generations, no pardon may be granted for any reason. After three generations, he can leave his nationality and become a commoner by merit. ”
Le Chen's secluded gaze looked at these clan elders who stabbed him everywhere. The voice is also cold, as if from the abyss of hell. Looking at the desperate faces, he felt very happy.
Therefore, he spoke again, "I have entered the Shi, entered the Martial Academy, and all the children of the Literary Academy have been expelled." ”
"No, you can't do that, they're all surnamed Le. You can't do that to them. The patriarch finally couldn't stand it anymore and screamed out.
Le Chen looked at him: "When you rebelled, you should have thought of this. "He didn't spare their lives, not because he was merciful, nor because he still cared about family affection. He wanted them to see who would atone for their crimes. They do this qiē, bringing consequences.
If you stab him with a knife, you must have the consciousness of being beaten by him.
The patriarch was looked at by his cold gaze, and the whole person shuddered and froze completely. For the first time, he found out that the emperor hated them.
It was only at this moment that he finally remembered. What is the emperor for them.
It's a pity that Le Chen didn't look at him anymore, and his voice was even colder: "Intention." ”
The patriarch pounced, but was stopped by the guards. When I turned my head, I saw Lehong and Legu on one side, and hurriedly rushed over again. He was stopped again, and he had to shout: "Atai, Agu." Is that what you're watching? Those are also your brothers, and they are surnamed Le. ”
Le Gu sneered coldly: "Patriarch, why haven't you thought about it, my fourth brother is also surnamed Le?" You want to create a surname Le's rebellion, and you want to overthrow Lejia's country. You yourself are reciting your ancestors, how can you say that we juniors? ”
It was rare that the smile on Le Tai's face was gone: "Patriarch, you better pray now, the previous assassins have nothing to do with you, otherwise, the entire Le family will be dragged to hell by you." ”
The patriarch's face stiffened, and his hands trembled.
Yes, he is the patriarch.
In the past, the patriarch of the Lejia family had always been concurrently served by the emperor. However, after the first emperor, the second and third princes have been unstable, so they have not been officially recognized. At that time, the clan elders were still thinking about letting these brothers of the Le family fight for themselves, and whoever is the final victor will become the patriarch.
But the final winner, Lechen, didn't buy their account at all, and also devalued the entire Lejia. Lejia was so angry that he chose another patriarch.
However, people's ambitions are really growing fast. Since he becomes an emperor, he must be the patriarch, so since he is the patriarch, why can't he be the emperor?
In particular, after becoming the patriarch, he took over the wealth, connections, and power left by the Lejia ancestors for generations...... Afterwards. With so much of him, why can't he become an emperor?
