Chapter 23
When Ling Yiqu heard this, his face sank, Gao Di's words were in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the loss of Jinzhou had nothing to do with him, and the responsibility did lie with Yuan Chonghuan, the general stationed at the time.
Pingxi Wangzu Dashou, who had been silent, cleared his throat at this time and said loudly: "According to the military system of our dynasty, after the predecessor stepped down, there was a commanding general to take over military affairs, and Jinzhou was not responsible for losing Gaodi!" ”
Gao Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Pingxi Wang Mingjian! ”
Cheng Guogong glared at Ling Yiqu angrily and remained silent, to see how he handled the case impartially!
Ling Yiqu was speechless for a while, so he looked at Yuan Chonghuan and asked, "Yuan Chonghuan, can you plead guilty?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was very angry, it seems that they have to put themselves and die, think about their birth and death for the country, throw their heads and spill their blood, and end up in such a situation; The loss of Jinzhou was not his fault, and the sergeants fought to the death until the food was cut off, and they had to retreat to Ningyuan.
Ling Yiqu wanted to help him justify him, but he was shallow in his official position and could not be caught; Now above the court, Gao Di has formed a party for personal gain, and Cheng Guogong obviously exonerates him, coupled with the unwarranted correspondence with the enemy, it is obvious that someone has framed him and put himself in death, what can the husband say!
Disheartened, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were red, he couldn't help laughing, his eyes were sad, and he looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Remember to meet and smile,
Personally instruct the night talker.
Talent and civil and military have no more children,
Meritorious to the point of being a crime is a crime. ”
"I, Yuan Chonghuan, are worthy of heaven and earth, but I regret that my life's career is empty, and half of my life is in my dream."
When Ling Yiqu heard this, he sighed leisurely and lowered his head silently!
Cheng Guogong's eyes were full of schadenfreude!
Pingxi Wang Zu looked at King Xin on the side, and saw that the old god was there from beginning to end, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, the matter has come to this, Gao Di is corrupt and corrupt, and he should be dismissed and investigated; Yuan Chonghuan lost Jinzhou, which coincided with the enemy's letter, and he did not prove his innocence. ”
"Oh!" King Xin lazily put down the tea and said leisurely, "Really? ”
"Well, it's true!" King Pingxi said with a smile.
King Xin ignored King Pingxi, but turned his head to look at Cheng Guogong and asked, "What does Cheng Guogong think?" ”
"Your Highness, the evidence is conclusive!" Cheng Guogong said with a smile.
"Hmmm! This king thinks so! However, King Xin looked at Ling Yiqu and asked, "What is the opinion of Dali Temple?" ”
Ling Yiqu silently raised his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, according to the law, if the prisoner does not have ironclad evidence to prove his innocence, Dali Temple will not refute the lawsuit!" ”
"That's good! Can this king ask the prisoner? King Xin said leisurely.
"Your Highness is the emperor's decree to draw up the supervision and review, of course you can!" Ling Yiqu nodded.
"Good! This king will have a 'treasure dragon map' today! King Xin stood up silently, slowly came to Yuan Chonghuan, stared at it for a long time, and asked, "Yuan Chonghuan, do you know the capital crime?" ”
Because he was already disheartened in his heart, he put life and death out of the way, and he was not afraid at this time, hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan looked at King Xin and said: "Yuan Chonghuan will also be a ghost when he dies!" ”
King Xin said coldly: "If you ask for death, no one can stop you; If you don't want to, no one will kill you! ”
When everyone heard it, they were all inexplicable?
Chengguo Gong looked at King Pingxi, his eyes were full of puzzlement? King Pingxi also frowned!
Ling Yiqu's eyes lit up, and he continued to watch, silent.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at King Xin blankly, I don't know why?
King Xin smiled, paced behind Gao Di, and said solemnly:
"Abuse of power for personal gain, coercion of subordinates, and demand money is the first crime;"
"Corrupt and pervert the law, deduct military salaries, and fill private pockets, the second crime;"
"Fleeing in fear of war, Jinzhou is lost, and others are blamed; The third sin; ”
"Killing martyrs, acting as enemy leaders, and lying about military exploits are four crimes;"
Before King Xin finished speaking, Gao Di was already frightened and collapsed to the ground, his face was pale, and his face was like ashes.
Everyone was surprised and inexplicable, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xinwang's gourd? Why is Gaudi so frightened!
King Xin glanced coldly at the frightened Gao Di, took out a letter from his cuff and said, "Dali Temple Zhengqing, you read it out in public!" ”
Ling Yiqu hurriedly got up, walked quickly to King Xin, took the letterhead with both hands, and carefully unfolded it to take a look, his face couldn't help but turn blue and angry! Then he read aloud:
"Gao Dike deducted military salaries, causing the soldiers at the Jinzhou border pass to have no food and salary for several months, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they had no fighting spirit, so they had to retreat to Ningyuan to base the enemy!"
"Gao Di bought and sold officials to collect money, which caused the morale of the army to plummet, the military discipline was scattered, and the loyal ministers and good generals were cold, which was a move to destroy the country!"
"In order to lie about his exploits, Gao Di cut off the heads of the fallen sergeants and acted as the head of the enemy, which caused the soldiers to feel cold and sinful!"
••••••
One by one, it is appalling, and it is difficult to write!
Reading from Ling Yiqu's mouth, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone was dumbfounded! Yuan Chonghuan, who was originally disheartened, looked at King Xin suspiciously when he heard this!
"Do you still think that the loss of Jinzhou has nothing to do with Gaodi, but that Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy to cause the loss of Jinzhou? Could it be that Emperor Taiji would kill his father Nurhachi in order to cooperate with Yuan Chonghuan? King Xin coldly questioned King Chengguo of Pingxi.
When the two of them saw Gao Di's appearance, they no longer confessed to themselves, the facts are there, and they have a lot of blood debts, where they still don't understand!
Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen was suddenly dumbfounded, his face was extremely embarrassed, and when Pingxi Wang Zu heard this, he took the case and said angrily: "Gao Di's fang is simply a loss of conscience, and it is difficult to write, and everyone will be punished!" ”
"What about the public opinion of Chengguo?" King Xin asked coldly.
"This! I didn't expect Gao Di to be so inhumane, it's just a crime that deserves death, otherwise I'm sorry for the soldiers in the army! Cheng Guogong hurriedly smiled and said hesitantly.
King Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Ling Yiqu, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, turned around and returned to the chair to sit down; Ling Yiqu immediately understood, turned around and returned to the hall to sit upright, raised the startling wood and slapped it suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Tut! Bold Gaud, can you plead guilty? ”
The matter has come to this, Gao Di knows that he is no longer able to return to the sky, and he has no skills to return to the sky, so he lies on the ground and kowtows, "Believe in the king's grace!" It's all my ghostly confusion! Woo••••••"
"Someone! Put the criminal Gao Di on death row, and wait for the emperor to make a decision! Ling Yiqu shouted, and immediately rushed up with two sergeants, dragging Gao Di down like a dead dog.
Ling Yiqu immediately announced on the spot: "After the trial of the three halls, there are major doubts in Yuan Chonghuan's correspondence with the enemy, which is inconsistent with the facts, and it is actually a 'discordant plan' of the Manchurians; Gao Di deliberately framed a good general in the army, wanted to cover up, and pointed to the deer as a horse, causing Yuan Chonghuan to be wronged and aggrieved; Yuan Chonghuan was loyal to the country and was framed by traitors. ”
The sergeant stepped forward and opened the shackles on Yuan Chonghuan's body, life and death were reversed in an instant, Yuan Chonghuan had tears in his eyes, and laughed loudly in the sky, "Hahaha, God opened his eyes, it's not that he doesn't report, the time has not come!" After saying that, 'Pout' knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Yuan Chonghuan bowed to His Royal Highness King Xie Xin and proved his innocence!" ”
Looking at such a hero, almost under a group of petty tricks, King Xin was furious and said bitterly: "Since ancient times, heroes have shed a lot of blood, and men don't flick when they have tears!" General Yuan is a good general of my Ming Dynasty, and this king will report truthfully to the emperor to tell the spirit of the heroes who died in the frontier in the sky! ”
Then he looked at Cui Guangcheng, who was trembling on the side, and ordered: "Cui Guangcheng, the squire of the military department, quickly take care of Gaodi's mansion, all of Gaodi's family property is obtained from deducting the food and salary of the soldiers at the border pass, and no one is allowed to enter without the order of this king!" Cui Guangcheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to take the order!
When Cheng Guogong heard this, his heart was suddenly anxious, and he smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is the duty of the Jinyi Guard to raid the Gaodi Mansion, so I won't bother with the Ministry of Labor!" ”
"The property of Gaodi's mansion will be reissued to all the border soldiers and compensate the families of the martyrs who died in battle, is this what you should be in charge of?" King Xin looked at Cheng Guogong coldly and continued: "Cheng Guogong, you keep saying that Yuan Chonghuan is plotting with the enemy, I don't know if you have evidence or hearsay?" ”
When Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, heard this, he immediately shrank his neck in fright, where did he dare to mention the matter of raiding Gaodi's mansion, and replied tremblingly: "Don't dare!" Can't! It's a false accusation by the traitor Gaodi, it's a false accusation! ”
"Humph!" King Xin snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and walked away from Dali Temple! Staring at the back of King Xin's departure, there was a faint cold gaze in the eyes of Pingxi Wang Zu Dashou.
