1128 confession, to what extent written
The fold is only a few tens, but the amount is not clear. The excerpts that Feng Shoufu and others see now are the fruits of Jinyiwei's hard work last night, and it is written in detail which family, which house, which person, how to collude with King Zhou and King Rong, and how much news was leaked to these two.
Due to the limitation of time and manpower, the number of people who can be tried by Jinyiwei in one night is limited, in order to deter the courtiers, Qin Shiyan asked Jinyiwei to interrogate the few people with prominent backgrounds, as for those with ordinary backgrounds, they are not in a hurry, they can be tried slowly.
Therefore, many ministers can see the things committed by their own brothers or in-laws. Seeing the names above, a few people's faces changed greatly, and the timid ones fell directly to the ground and fainted.
The Empress Dowager's maiden family, Cheng Engong, didn't even look at the fold when she got it, so she knelt down and crawled to the center of the hall to plead guilty. There is Cheng En's public head, and last night someone in the family was taken away by the Jinyi Guard, and the officials also knelt down and pleaded guilty.
But in half an hour, before the excerpt was passed around, dozens of people crawled out to ask for sin, kowtowing violently one by one, begging the emperor to learn clearly.
After Qin Shiyan smashed the fold, he didn't speak again, sat on the dragon chair, and looked coldly at the courtiers below.
There are surprises, there are fears, and there are uneasy...... In short, the ministers, who are usually moody, can't hold back one by one at this time, and show the feelings in their hearts.
Interesting, really interesting.
Qin Shiyan hooked his lips and smiled, with a hint of indescribable mockery.
This is his courtier, who usually criticizes him, the emperor, and accuses him with righteous words, and looks like he is loyal and not afraid of life and death, making him think that these people are really not afraid of death, but what is the result?
When something happens, the sword hangs above his head, and one by one he looks ugly, which is really ridiculous.
An hour later, all the folds full of indictments had been circulated, and more than 40 officials crawled out of the two columns to plead guilty.
Of course, those who kneel down to plead guilty are not all for their own brothers, many of them are in-laws. There are only a few big families in the capital, these people are all close to each other, united as one, with the same qi and branches, tied together in case of trouble, condensed into a powerful force, if you don't make a big mistake, it is difficult for the emperor to move these big families, but ......
It's different now.
The children of the clan colluded with the prince of Rong and the king of Zhou, intending to assassinate the emperor is a big crime of the nine clans, even if they are just in-laws, they can't escape the reckoning.
It's just a trip to Taiyuan, you can get such a harvest, Qin Xiaoyan is very satisfied. Although it was a little risky, the rewards were also great.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't know anything about what the minister's brother has committed, and he is willing to ask the emperor to find out."
"Your Majesty, the ministers are not strict in disciplining the children of the clan, and the ministers are guilty, so I am willing to ask the emperor to deal with them."
"Your Majesty, the rebel son has already split up, and the minister will open a clan when he returns, expel him from the clan, and ask the emperor to learn from it."
"Your Majesty, the minister's concubine is young and ignorant, and he has been deceived, so I beg the emperor to let him go when he is young and spare his life."
"The Emperor's ......"
Break up the relationship, beg for forgiveness, ask for punishment...... There are all kinds of pleas, no matter how high-sounding these people are, in fact, in the final analysis, they still hope that Qin Xiaoyan will open up and not be angry with them.
It's not wrong to lose your pawn and protect your handsome, to sacrifice your family for a traitor, that's called stupidity, but ...... The truth is reasonable, and it still makes people feel chilled when they hear this.
Although it was only one night, and Jin Yiwei didn't find much, Qin Xiaoyan was sure that more than half of those who colluded with King Zhou and King Rong were acquiesced by the family, and it may even be instructed by the family.
In this way, the family will have double insurance, and no matter who is in the position at that time, the family will be able to stand tall. From the standpoint of the family, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but for the superiors and the emperor, this kind of two-sided courtiers should be punished.
In the face of the courtiers who kowtowed and begged for mercy, Qin Shanyan was still the same as yesterday, and did not say anything about the punishment, and when the ministers finished reading the excerpts, Qin Shanyan got up, "I hope that tomorrow I can see your confessions and write down the crimes committed by you and the children of the clan one by one." ”
He made a mistake, and these courtiers asked him to write his guilt, so now he also asked these people to write his own guilt. He wanted to see if these courtiers, who pointed fingers at him on weekdays and were upright and loyal, would write out all their crimes.
After speaking, the eunuch announced his retreat from the court, and Qin Silent left in a hurry, leaving the courtiers stunned on the spot, at a loss. Especially the courtiers who came out to confess their sins were even more confused.
The emperor asked them to write a confession, how to write this confession? What is written about?
The emperor asked them to write their own crimes, did they find something? How many more were found?
In such a situation, are they killing themselves by writing too much? If they conceal it and don't write it, or only write a few things that don't matter, and the emperor finds out, will they think that they deliberately deceived the saint?
God, it's really hard to write, and it's not the right way to write it.
A minister's face turned white, Cheng Engong's face was the most ugly, and he looked up and saw Feng Shoufu, who was kneeling there, and the old god was there, and he didn't know what he thought, so he jumped up and lay down at Feng Shoufu's feet, "Feng Shoufu, you save me, you save the lower official." Xia Guan is really innocent, Xia Guan doesn't know anything. "It was his concubine who committed the crime, and if he didn't get rid of it, his family would not be able to escape.
Feng Shoufu almost jumped up in fright, and hurriedly helped Cheng Engong to get up, "Cheng Engong, I can't help it, I can't help it, please get up quickly." ”
Duke Cheng'en is a first-class duke, although he has no real position, but he is not qualified to be bowed down by Duke Cheng'en, and Duke Cheng'en does not need to be called an official in front of him.
"No, no, no, I can't afford it. If you don't save me, I won't get up, I beg you, save me, I really don't know what my son of evil did. Cheng Engong knelt in front of Feng Shoufu and refused to get up.
After the concubine in the family was taken away last night, he asked someone to bring a message into the palace, begging the empress dowager to explain one or two in front of the emperor and intercede for the Chen family, but ......
The Empress Dowager said that she couldn't control this matter. She has done enough for the Chen family, she is the empress dowager, but she has no blood relationship with the emperor, before the emperor ascended the throne, she and the emperor were in a cooperative relationship, and she could seek benefits for the Chen family, but not now.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he did not treat the Chen family badly, and he was already benevolent and righteous to the Chen family, and the Chen family could not be too late. Moreover, colluding with King Zhou and King Rong to help them assassinate the emperor, this crime can be big or small, before the matter is clear, she will never open her mouth to intercede for the Chen family and drag herself into the water.
When Cheng Engong heard this, he was stunned all of a sudden, and today he came to the early court tremblingly, and when he saw the emperor's reaction, Cheng Engong knew that the Chen family was finished.
Relying on the emperor's attention, as well as the empress dowager in the palace, the children of the Chen family have committed many crimes, the emperor asked him to write a confession, did he dare to hide it and not write it?
He's going to write it all down, is there any chance of survival?
