Chapter 793: The Big Case - Postponement
Everyone was stunned when they heard Yun Xi's words, it didn't seem to have anything to do with the topic everyone was discussing; But after thinking about it carefully, they understood that Yun Xi thought like this was a normal idea of an emperor.
Now that the Caisheng Torture Case and the Witch Gu Case have passed, and Yun Xi has also ordered the search and arrest of all those involved in this case, then there is no hurry to deal with it, whatever you want, it all depends on Yun Xi's mood; The most important thing now is that the people of the Timurid Khanate planned these two big cases.
How did the case end to the outside world, only to declare that there were people in the country who intended to murder His Majesty, or to reveal the truth that the Timurid Khanate was behind the scenes? Or is it planted on other countries, such as Annan?
In addition, His Majesty was murdered by the Timurid Khanate in this way, and he must have hated that country very much, and he must have wanted to take revenge on him. But how to retaliate is also difficult to decide.
However, when everyone heard Yun Xi's words just now, they almost guessed Yun Xi's thoughts: to fight with the Timurid Khanate and punish him.
"Your Majesty, the Timurid Khanate has acted deceitfully and wickedly this time, and His Majesty does not dare to say anything about how to deal with his ministers. However, as far as the northwestern country that had been to the capital was known, the country of Timur was also very vast, even if it was not far from the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty might not be able to win by mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to go on the expedition; But if more soldiers are sent on an expedition, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to stand it. ”
The minister thought that His Majesty still concealed this matter because the Timurid Khanate was behind his back, and secretly punished the Timurid Khanate. He was able to plan such a thing in the Great Ming, and the Great Ming could do the same to Timur in the Timurid Khanate. Chen Ji said.
It should be said that Chen Ji's words were not out of selfishness, but indeed for Yun Xi's consideration. The strength of the Timurid Khanate is also very strong, and the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily be able to win the war, even if it wins, it is just a false name and will not benefit the country; It's even worse if you lose.
What's more, he also said that 'the Ming Dynasty did the same thing in the Timurid Khanate,' which is tantamount to supporting Yunxi's witchcraft against Timur, which is very rare for civil officials.
"Two years ago, I asked Wen Kui to go to Sangu Thatched House to invite him out of the mountain, and it was really worth it, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and me, and he was worthy of the courtesy I gave him. Yun Xi thought.
Chen Ji is a Hangzhou native who was promoted by Yunxi in order to appease the local people when he was inspecting Jiangsu and Zhejiang two years ago. At that time, Yunxi asked Zhu Wenkui, the son of King Wu, to personally invite him out of the mountain, and he was extremely courteous, which made Hu Guang and others red-eyed.
After Chen Ji spoke, other people also spoke, basically supporting his views; There are also people who propose to frame Annan or Majapahit, well, if it is pressed on Majapahit, it is not considered a sham. In short, everyone thinks that it should not be openly said that the Timurid Khanate did it, and that it is better to retaliate secretly; If you have to go to war with the Timurid Khanate in the future, don't use such a reason.
"You don't have to say it, I've got my own thoughts." Yun Xi said as he wrote the words 'Timur' on the paper on the table with a brush. He wrote very hard, and his handwriting was so large that just three words filled the entire page.
As soon as everyone heard this, they understood that Yun Xi did not agree with their words, and was about to continue the admonition, when they heard Yun Xi say: "No matter what, I will not do anything before the war with Annan is over, and I will not make public the news of this case, but only say to the public that the important people and criminals in this case have not yet confessed, and when the criminals have confessed, the case will be sorted out before it is made public." ”
"You are not allowed to reveal the truth of these two major cases to anyone, and I will not spare those who violate them."
When everyone heard this, they thought that Yun Xi was still hesitating, so they stopped admonishing for the time being, planning to wait a few days before continuing to persuade.
Yun Xi immediately announced the disposition of the person in the case: "All the criminals in the case of harvesting and cutting, those who carried out the harvesting and cutting were all executed in Lingchi, and their families were dealt with in accordance with the "Da Ming Law"; If the beggar is caught, he will be executed, his son, wife and concubine will be beheaded, and the rest of his relatives and his homeless bullies will be exiled to the border. ”
"Yesterday, the Gao family has decreed that all those who are officials outside the country will be sent to prison and sent to the capital, and they will be exempted from capital crimes and exiled to the border for the sake of serving the Ming Dynasty, except for Gao Xianchen; Gao Xianchen and his children and grandchildren, wives and concubines were sent to serve in front of the army; Gao Jingde was executed in Lingchi, and his descendants other than Gao Xianchen were beheaded over the age of sixteen, and exiled under the age of sixteen; The rest of the Gao family was disposed of in the same way. ”
"The people in the tooth shop were beheaded by themselves, and the rest were exiled to the border; All the rest of the Ming people and the people of the outer fan involved in this case were executed. ”
"Su Dongli and Ude were also executed."
"All those who were bought by them in the outer courtyard of the palace were put to death, and their wives and children were exiled."
"There is another foreign merchant who became a naturalized Daming merchant at the same time as Su Dongli, called Bassoon, according to Su Dongli's confession, it has nothing to do with this case, but I still have to order him to be arrested and interrogated carefully, if he is indeed not involved in this case, and it is not sent to Daming by any of the Fanguo, let him go and go back to continue trading; If he is related to this case, it will be handled like Su Dongli. ”
"However, I do not intend to close this case immediately, and all the criminals are still being held at the Guangzhou Police Headquarters and will be dealt with after the case is concluded."
"Your Majesty." Yunxi's disposal is nothing special, and it is also very appropriate, so everyone praises it.
Yun Xi was not interested in their sycophants, and discussed a few things with them to get them to step down.
Yang Ren did not retreat with the others, but knelt down to Yun Xi and said: "Your Majesty, there are people in the outer courtyard of the palace who have been bribed by these criminals and become accomplices of these people, and the minister begs Your Majesty for forgiveness." "Guangzhou is the place where Yang Ren is an official, or a political envoy, if something happens here, of course Yang Ren has to ask for guilt.
"You can't blame you for this. There are countless families in Guangzhou, and you can't guard against it. Of course, Yun Xi didn't blame, but reassured him with kind words and made him retreat.
After that, Yunxi summoned Fan Ming, the person in charge of the local Jinyi Guard, and said to him: "Fan Aiqing, you send people to spread rumors among the people, don't let the people guess." ”
This kind of gossip spreads the fastest, and soon after the occurrence of the harvesting and harvesting case, everyone knows that the harvesting and harvesting occurred; After Yun Xi recruited monks in the city of Guangzhou to relieve Xiyi's evil spirits, everyone knew that someone had fallen into evil magic for important people in the palace. Many people ask people about the progress of their cases whenever they have time. Yun Xi felt that instead of letting the people listen to fake news, it was better to let Jinyiwei concoct some news that was good for the country for the people to listen to and maintain stability.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Ming was very smart and immediately understood what he meant and agreed.
Yun Xi then gathered different people and ordered different things, and then asked them to step back one after another.
By the time everything was done, it was already noon, and he was a little hungry. Yun Xi stood up and stretched, and was about to go back to the backyard to eat with Li Sha'er and the others.
However, before leaving, Yun Xi tidied up his very chaotic desk, and saw the fine rice paper on which he had just written the three big characters of 'Timur' and the dragon flying and phoenix dance.
"Timur, although you don't know about this matter, you have set up an intelligence network in Daming, which shows that your ambitions for Daming are clearly exposed." Yun Xi muttered to himself.
"But I'm going to let your plan fail. ……”
After these few gossips, Yun Xi turned around and left the outer study and went to the backyard to eat.
