Chapter Two Thousand and Twenty-Nine: Swept Away
Yin Zhen sneered and said, "At this time, are you still pretending to be crazy and stupid?" Mu Jifeng, I already knew about the dealings between you and Hongshi. You colluded with Hongshi, secretly hid 100,000 stone of grain, and risked the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, are you guilty?! ”
The last few words sounded like thunder in Mu Jifeng's ears, causing him to immediately kneel weakly on the hard gold bricks with his legs, and said in a panic: "Weichen...... Damn it! ”
Yin Zhen's eyes swept over the officials, and read out a series of names, each time, there was one more person who knelt down, and in the end there were nearly ten kneeling, and each person's face was strangely pale, and the unbearable even fainted on the spot.
Looking at the officials who were pulled out, Yinzhen did not have any joy, on the contrary, he was heartbroken, and pointed to those people: "You are all the people who eat the Qing Dynasty, and you should be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but the fact is that you are selfish and hateful!" ”
Mu Jifeng saw that he couldn't be deceived, and begged bitterly: "The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen was confused for a while, and he was caught by the second elder brother, so he had to listen to his words and do things, but the truly loyal person of Weichen is always the emperor." Please also ask the emperor to read the loyalty of the ministers in Weichen......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yin Zhen interrupted angrily: "It's a shame that you still have the face to mention the word loyalty, and I am so angry for you!" After saying that, he tried to calm the anger in his chest, and said: "Take them all down, except for Mu Jifeng, all the rest of the people will be exiled from their homes, and they will never be allowed to return to Beijing." ”
"The emperor spares his life! The emperor spares his life! Mu Jifeng begged loudly, wanting to exchange for a chance to live, but Yinzhen was extremely disgusted with him, how could he spare his life, every pleading was just in vain.
After this incident, it can be said that the connections left by Yingge, but all officials above the fourth grade, who have some ability in the court, have been swept away by this incident, and the Nala clan, not to mention being uprooted, is almost the same. Although there are fish that have slipped through the net, they can't set off any storms. It can be said that even if Hongshi is given another chance, he will not be able to win the throne again.
As for Rong Xiang, because of his meritorious escort, he was exceptionally promoted to the minister of the Zhengyi Palm Seal, and the rest of the officials were also rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and as for the 50,000 horses of the Tongzhou battalion, they immediately went to Yaksa after this incident to increase the number of Buddhas, so that his strength was the same as Yunli's, reaching 300,000 people.
Although a large number of officials such as Mu Jifeng were dismissed, Yinzhen was already prepared and immediately promoted some officials to fill the vacancies, so that there would be no chaos in the imperial court, and he could fully support the two battles at the border pass, and there would be no more personal matters.
With the fall of the early dynasty, the matter also spread in the palace, but the news from the palaces was a bit one-sided, and it was impossible to piece together the complete facts, and the only clear thing was that Hongshi failed to force the palace, was removed from the yellow belt, and was banned from the Zongren Mansion.
Ling Ruo never thought that overnight, such a big thing would happen in the palace, fortunately, Yin Zhen had been prepared, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.
Although she knew that Yinzhen was fine, she was always relieved in her heart, and was about to order Yang Hai to prepare for the shoulder, but she unexpectedly saw Yinzhen's figure appear at the gate of the palace.
Ling Ruo walked over quickly and said nervously, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
Yin Zhen didn't say anything, just strode forward and hugged Ling Ruo tightly in his arms. Last night's events seem to be under control and there is nothing to worry about, but as long as there is a slight mistake in it, it will cause irreversible consequences. When the time comes, I'm afraid that even such a hug will become a luxury.
After the initial surprise, Ling Ruo calmed down and didn't say anything, letting Yinzhen hold her in his arms. After a long time like this, Yinzhen let go of his mouth and said in a dumb voice: "It's okay, I and you will be fine." ”
"Yes." Ling Ruo responded, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, is the second elder brother really plotting to make trouble and want to force you to give way?" ”
Yin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it a surprise?" Before he made a move, I really never dreamed that he would actually use his brain to force the palace, and just now he was even more crazy to kill Hongli. ”
Ling Ruo was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Is there anything wrong with Hongli, has he also entered the palace, what about the people, where are the people?" ”
Seeing this, Yin Zhen reassured: "Don't worry, Hongli is fine, the moon blocked a knife for Hongli, just now Hongli took her to the hospital." Speaking of which, she is still a woman of the Nala clan, but she can sacrifice her life to block the sword for Hongli, which is really unexpected to me. ”
Ling Ruo said quite unexpectedly: "Yes, it seems that she is a little sincere to Hongli. ”
Yin Zhen nodded, took Ling Ruo's hand and entered the hall, and said: "Hongshi made a great mistake, but after all, he was my son, and in the end, he regretted it, I finally spared his life and only imprisoned him in the Zongren Mansion. Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, he said softly, "Do you think I'm too lenient with Hongshi?" ”
Ling Ruo sighed lightly and said: "The concubine understands the emperor's thoughts, even if the second elder brother is not in a thousand ways, he is the emperor's son after all, and the emperor can't bear to kill him, it is human nature." By the way, the concubine just heard that the queen mother was injured, what is going on? ”
It stands to reason that Hongshi plotted against the palace, as his mother, the Nala clan will definitely not be able to get out of it, even if he doesn't die, he has to enter the cold palace, but the development of things is not like this.
Yin Zhen stroked his forehead and said, "Queen...... Maybe I didn't know about Hongshi's rebellion. After that, he explained in detail what happened in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then said: "I look at the queen's appearance, it doesn't look like a lie, and she really stabbed her heart with a hairpin, the imperial doctor said, if the stab goes a little further, she will die, she ...... I really want to prove my innocence. ”
Ling Ruo didn't speak, but she didn't believe in her heart that the Nala clan would really seek death, and after fighting with them for more than twenty years, they couldn't understand each other anymore, the Nala clan was more desperate for their lives than anyone else, and in order to save her life, she could do anything, including pushing her brother out and beheading her. Let's ask such a person, how can she seek death lightly, so if she is not mistaken, the appearance of the Heart Cultivation Hall should be a bitter ploy with her life as a gamble.
Ling Ruo pondered: "But the queen mother is the second elder brother's mother, and it seems a little unreasonable to say that she doesn't know anything about the second elder brother." ”
"That's it." Yin Zhen sighed and said: "How to say, I and the queen have been husband and wife for more than 30 years, and she also gave birth to Honghui for me, and there are some things that I can't do too much." Now that the Nala clan has been eliminated, Hongshi is also confined in the Zongren Mansion, so let's stop here. ”
