The common people have no channel to understand the changes in the undercurrent of officialdom, and they are not interested in Xiyi being beaten into a pot of porridge, and they are even more interested in the case of 'kings plotting rebellion and assassinating the emperor'. Under the guidance of the newspaper's public opinion, many enthusiastic scholars turned their pen and denounced the miserly opposition party for losing their wealth and business because they refused to pay the tenant farmers higher wages, and then plotted to assassinate the emperor, and called for the 'mastermind' Hui Xinwang to be punished according to law. Of course, some people think that this is not the truth, cry out for the kings, and demand that the three divisions be reopened. Under the current situation of the Criminal Department's interpretation of the law by cases, the opinions of Dali Temple on a certain case can directly affect the interpretation of criminal names, which is completely to break the previous new policy on the redivision of responsibilities of the three departments.

How could this kind of careful thinking be accepted by the emperor who has not finished his anger at present, and he directly ordered the cabinet, Jinyiwei and Zongren Mansion to form a 'three divisions' to participate in the trial of Dali Temple. and set a public trial on the second day of the Shangyuan Festival in the seventeenth year of Shenzong. The heads of the new three divisions are Gong Jintian, the first assistant, Gu Xi, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, and the king of Runan County, Ning Zhengqing, the chief judge of Dali Temple, Gu Yi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wu Shangshu of the Criminal Department, except for Ning Zhengqing, they are all members of the queen's family......

Now everyone is HIGH!

The common people love this kind of liveliness, not to mention, who doesn't want to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed Yuan Hui is, who has the courage to assassinate the brilliant Divine Sect and replace it? The people who used Yuan Hui to seek benefits before, of course, wanted to sit in public to confirm the emperor's atrocities of 'hurting agriculture and valuing business, and destroying the country'.

At the beginning, the case was tried smoothly, and Yuan Hui's daughter-in-law Ran was willing to be a tainted witness, only asking for pardon for the women and children of the Ran family and the personal maidservants from being substituted for prostitutes. In addition to changing her clothes, there is no trace of torture on her body, and she clearly explains when Yuan Hui is, where, with whom, how long she talked to, and the expenses of the account, and even how many people complained to Yuan Hui about Shenzong, including Yuan Nian's complaint that Shenzong arranged for Gu Yi to die and did not let him marry. The onlookers collectively crooked the building, excitedly thinking that what kind of bloody drama this is - why did King Wu Nian delay the marriage date and refuse to marry? Why did the princess-to-be go to the end of the world alone? What is the truth behind it? Please follow the interviewer of this issue of "China News" to enter the lobby of the three divisions of the triage, and take you to uncover the truth and see the essence!

Above the main hall of Dali Temple, the sound of buzzing private discussions was endless, and it was not until the two former princes of Yuan Hui and Yuan Nian came to court that they suddenly quieted down. It's not that these two imperial brothers who covet the throne leak out of their anger, but I have never seen such a fat, heavy and obscene Tianhuang noble. Yuan Hui's face was full of red light, shiny oil, his neck was blocked by his chin and could not be seen, his neckline was very tight, and his protruding belly was like being pregnant, and it could be seen that the belt was sewn outside the brocade robe, not tied up, at least as wide as Yuan Nian next to him. Yuan Nian had a gray face that was excessive, and his lips were dark and his feet were fluttering. The faces of many 'aspirants' who were originally quite sympathetic or supportive of the two were quite distorted - compared to the handsome and heroic Divine Sect who was not confused in their years, these two were too mushy to be on the wall, right......

There are strong human witnesses, but the physical evidence is not easy to define, the exchanges are all gold and silver, and it is not an exaggeration to fund a powerless Yuan Hui, no one is stupid enough to leave a piece of paper. What's terrible is that Yuan Nian secretly took a small notebook and wrote down the guests and conversations he met every time, from which Jiangnan families he united to build momentum, to which clan relatives he persuaded to come forward, as well as the sharp remarks of each family to Shenzong, the crown prince and the other three princes, all of which were recorded. It also marked the motives of each person he guessed and the private one-line contact method, and intimately divided these opposition parties into three factions: the faction that was willing to support the youngest fourth son of the emperor, Yuan Wang, to ascend the throne and let Yuan Hui be the regent, mainly clan relatives; The Jiangnan family wants the prince to ascend to the throne justifiably to show that they are not traitors and thieves; There are also people who hope that the emperor and the crown prince will die together and pinch the arbitrary and conceited second son Yuan Xuan in the palm of his hand. It was the latter who bribed a chamberlain beside Yuan Zhou and plotted to assassinate the prince and his party in Tianjin Port, but when they rushed over, they learned that the port was frozen, and the prince returned to Beijing by land in Fengjin City.

Judging from Yuan Nian's small book, the Jinyi Guard and the Inspection Department who held the 'Kill Do Not Discuss Order' did not arrest the wrong person at all, and almost all of them were sent to various prison doors without landing. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yuan Hui pleaded guilty in despair, saying that he had no other thoughts, but that his money was restricted by others and he had to listen, as for where he and Yuan Nian's clan relatives got the money, he didn't know. Yuan Nian began to pee when he took out a small book to read, this small book is not so much because he is afraid that he will forget things after drinking, but also a good habit of 'writing a diary' cultivated by Gu Yi, and even the hiding place was taught by Gu Yi, 'The most conspicuous place is the safest' - behind the 'Guiyutang' plaque directly above the desk.

Why don't you shine!

Yuan Nian cried and admitted his mistake, "I shouldn't have let these bad people in the door to drink tea for a small bargain, who knew that they liked to talk bad about Seventh Brother!" Besides, the slut of the An family always forces me to make money......"

People are wronged, huh......

***********************

The confessions of the two former princes directly nailed all the families mentioned in the diary as 'conspiracy', and the content of the public trial was widely publicized through the newspapers, and as soon as the facts of the case were clear, the Dali Temple quickly closed the case, and the emperor personally read the case file and sentenced him heavily.

In the dossier, which ordinary people can't see, the actual mastermind of the assassination case is really revealed, which is very unexpected to everyone.

The assassin who has been cut off was once the head of the Jade Concubine Palace, but it was the nail that Chunyi sent in back then, the Ke family has long been annihilated, but Ke Fangsi is living a nourishing life in the Ou family. She was not willing to be a watchman, and after contacting the assassins in the palace, she inevitably did matchmaking work, bribing the chamberlain in the palace, taking away Yuan Guan's heirs, and communicating with the people commonly used in the Guò clan family, and sending her few people to run errands everywhere. For example, when I learned that Yuan Minmin, the lord of Heyang County, who married to Hubei, was very prosperous, and her husband Debuku joined the Northern Army of Zhenzhen, he got an inner servant to be mixed into the Wang family of Rencheng County who had no real seal as a porter; Yuan Nian went out of the palace to build a mansion and stuffed a maid; Hearing that the Xiong family, a grain merchant in Fengling City, had lost a sum of money, he immediately sent a steward to discuss cooperation; When the musket came out, a loyal maidservant was sent to the house of the head of the Arsenal Division to be a concubine. Therefore, once she learned that these opposition factions wanted to join forces to 'admonish' Shenzong, she didn't care about any vertical and horizontal affairs, heavy agriculture and suppression of business, or regency to seize the heir, but she had a whim the day before the Golden Festival, thinking that she could destroy the queen who dominated her sweetheart by the way, and temporarily arranged for the concubine of the Arsenal Si family to steal a sample of a musket and stuff it into the food box, and handed it over to the chamberlain who often accompanied Yuan Zhou out of the palace, and then handed it over to the assassins. Whether it was Yiqing, who was in charge of the security in the palace, or Gu Xi, who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, even if he knew in advance that the opposition would have a plan, he didn't expect that someone would suddenly assassinate the queen, who had a good reputation and was low-key and benevolent. After the gunshots, everyone thought that this was the opposition's killing of the monarch and seizing the throne, and the queen was the 'virtuous queen' who fought hard to block the gun as her husband.

All the families who had participated in the discussion of the 'Divine Sect' were dragged into the water by this crazy woman who had been married for 25 years and had nothing to do, and was convicted of 'rebellion'.

The masterminds are Yuan Hui, Yuan Nian, Ke Fangsi and their in-laws Ou Jia. The two brothers will not be killed, but the wives and concubines will be cut down, and the children and grandchildren will be enslaved, and they will be boiled and cooked, and they will be served in prison, and the families and servants of the wives and concubines and daughters-in-law will go to God in peace. The Ou family and Ke Fangsi are naturally the Yi Nine clan, don't say anything 'sin is not as good as marrying a daughter', the in-laws please pack up and go on the road together.

The rest of the criminals involved are divided into three categories - first, the idle clan relatives represented by the king of Rencheng County, Yuan Zhong, Yuan Jin, Dongyang, Yuyang, Sui Zhangzhu and other imperial relatives who were demoted to commoners by Sejong were imprisoned for life, and their wives and concubines, husbands, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law and other people with non-Yuan surnames were all killed by the nine clans, and children under the age of five were exiled to Luo, and the fifth generation could not be pardoned; For example, the incumbent officials involved in the case, such as the head of the Arsenal Division, Danyang's father-in-law and the former political envoy of Chujing Mansion, Yin Rong, etc., were punished by both the father and mother, and the families of his wives and concubines sat together, and the side branches were exiled to Dongzhou for mining; There are also grain merchants Wanjia, the former Shoufu Qin family and other commoners, the whole sect, and the nine clans of wives and concubines and daughters-in-law are also exiled to Boli, and the men are slaves for life, and the women are prostitutes for generations. Second, the former Qu Yong Bolei family and Yingdu Bochu family, who swept to the end of the typhoon but retreated bravely in time, escaped death by luck, except for Lei Tuma, all of them were reduced to crimes and exiled to Magong City. Third, they didn't dare to commit a crime this time, but they belonged to the people who left behind the problem, such as the remnants of the former Changning Bodu family and the former Xiuning Marquis Liang family who had escaped death in the past, which were originally crimes, and they were cut down together this time; The descendants of the Yuan surname who were not imprisoned in the mausoleum only left one person with a hundred taels of silver, regardless of men and women, and all went to Puli, Tash, and Talas to weave cloth and farm, and they were conceited of life and death. The worst thing is that the concubine of the head of the arsenal and the chamberlain next to Yuan Zhou nailed into the city naked, and showed the public for ten days, Fang Xiao's head was broken and thrown to feed the dogs. All the above families, the fields and property under their names were confiscated and returned to the public, and the slaves and hired laborers who were not convicted of capital crimes were all thrown to Kuizhou City to open mountains and farm, and issued a sea arrest warrant for those who absconded and hidden, and the whistleblower was rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and the co-arrest was 100 taels, and those who were sent to the government could be given the post of nine products.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles, and this time, let alone killing thousands of people, it would cost forty or fifty thousand people. Shenzong, who has always been gentle and thoughtful in his rule, because the queen was seriously injured, showed his violent and arbitrary side for the first time, and the civil and military officials did not dare to persuade him. Fortunately, the queen and her father, Gu Laogong, were in front, delaying the execution time, so that the people who were still alive in prison had hope.

In the end, the queen who recovered from her illness went to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart and scratched her husband's palm for two hours, and then Shenzong ordered the prince to reconsider the punishment with Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Zongren Mansion.

The next day, the crown prince and the two imperial brothers jointly went to the court to suggest that in addition to the wives and concubines of Yuan Hui and Yuan Nian, the husband and wife in charge of the Arsenal Division, as well as the three clans of Ke Fangsi and the Ou family, they implored the emperor to change the rest to exile, and those who were originally guilty of capital crimes or crimes were exiled as crimes, and the rest were judged by the common people. And an article has been added to the law, if there is another slave or concubine who commits an offence, the crime of the head of the family or the husband is increased by one degree, and the crime of being an official is increased by three degrees. The difference between the criminal and the common people is that the former is not allowed to change his face, and the children of the latter can also turn over and come back with various examinations in the local area. If the exile has meritorious service, he may have his sentence commuted for himself or his children. At this time, the government and the opposition were relieved, and praised the prince for his 'benevolence', and then planned to dismiss those restless old concubines and old maids when they returned.

The emperor smiled slightly, raised his noble hand, and let the civilians of the two families of Fu Fù Lei and Chu, and even the two husband and wife main criminals, Zhangsi and Ke Fangsi, temporarily spare their lives, and allowed them to 'watch the punishment', so that they could watch their closest three clans, that is, their parents and parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, and their children and grandchildren, all be executed in Caishikou. It is said that the wife in charge went crazy on the spot, and the other grief-stricken relatives who watched the execution looked at the boss who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. The old man of the Ou family, who has loved Ke Fangsi since he was a child, rushed up frantically when he saw his elderly mother's head hit the ground, and wanted to bite Ke Fangsi directly, but unfortunately he only bit off one ear alive, and the other innocent Ou family members who were innocently involved hated both of them to the core.
