Chapter 583: Severely punish Qin Wang
As soon as they stepped into the palace, the dozen or so Imperial Forest Soldiers immediately changed their faces and took down Qin Forget without any mercy. Qin Wang's hands and feet were heavily shackled, and he was also put on a fifty-pound shackle around his neck, and he was pulled to the court along the way.
Along the way, the civil and military officials all stared at Qin Forget with a look of schadenfreude. Especially Li Chengan and Wen Man, the happiness on their faces was not concealed at all, and there were only Zhang Ye and Yu Zheng, looking at the embarrassed Qin Wang, who kept shaking their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Qin Forget, you are guilty!" As soon as Qin Wanggang knelt down in front of Cao Ziwen, Cao Ziwen reprimanded coldly with a gloomy face.
Cao Ziwen suddenly made a move, Qin Forget was horrified in his heart, he forced himself to calm down, thinking carefully about how nothing could fall into Cao Ziwen's hands during this time, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
"I don't know." Qin Forget tilted his head, looked at Cao Ziwen calmly and said.
"Don't know? What a don't know! Cao Ziwen was furious, "Chicheng and Chen County can produce 300,000 catties of steel per month, which is more than the output of the entire Dayan in a year, where did this steel go?" Don't tell me, you've made a plough and a carriage. Qin Wang, what are you going to do? Plotting rebellion? ”
Qin Forget suddenly realized that it was the blast furnaces of Chicheng and Yexian that had been exposed. He knew he couldn't hide it, but he couldn't imagine it would be so soon.
"I wonder who reported this to His Majesty?" Knowing the reason for the matter, Qin Forget had a bottom in his heart and asked.
"So you admit it?" Seeing that Qin Forget was not quibbling, Cao Ziwen was even more angry, "You kid has a kind, I want you to die today, Li Yu!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, agreed, walked up to Qin Wang, and smiled at him elegantly, "General Qin, let's meet again." ”
"Is that you?" Qin Wang's pupils contracted slightly, he didn't expect that it was Li Yu, who only had one side, to attack him. Last time, Qin Forget was invited by him to the Li Mansion for a banquet, because his son Li Jie was molesting the Bai family sisters, Qin Forget also made a big fuss about the Li Mansion, this person is not elegant on the surface, but his scheming is so deep.
Qin Forget felt right, this time it was Li Cheng'an who followed the advice of his confidant Fu Bocong and investigated Qin Wang's nest, and Li Yu, the squire of the Ministry of Works, went to do it himself. Even Li Chengan didn't expect that Akagi would hide such a big secret. It took him nearly two months to find out that Akagi could produce 300,000 catties of fine iron in a month, and could make tens of thousands of knives and guns and countless feather arrows. The most fatal thing for Qin Forget was that he actually got part of the account books of the Chen County Ordnance Division.
"It's the official." Hearing Qin Wang's inquiry, Li Yuchengzhu smiled in his chest, "General Qin has done such a big thing, last month Chicheng produced 312,862 catties of fine iron, 45,000 horizontal knives, 120,000 spear heads, 200,000 feather arrows, 20,000 quyuan ploughshares, and 600 carriages, it's just a strange thing for this official, you Chicheng only has an army of more than 20,000 people, how can you build so many weapons." Where did these weapons go, should General Qin give an explanation to His Majesty and the civil and military officials? Could it be that General Qin has more than 20,000 people under him on the surface? ”
"Master Li, even if you and I had a little conflict in the Li Mansion last time, you don't have to frame the last general like this." saw Li Yu touching his bottom carefully
This is clear, Qin Forget secretly scolded his subordinates for not doing things well, "Such slander, the end will not be able to bear it." ”
"What did General Qin say, this official is a servant of the Ministry of Works, these are all things within the scope of the matter, how can you talk about slander? In black and white, General Qin still wanted to quibble. Li Yuyang raised the account book in his hand, and he looked like he had eaten Qin Wang.
The evidence is ironclad, and Qin Forget knows that he can't quibble. The reason why he said the contradiction between him and Li Fu was to remind Cao Ziwen that the biggest enemy of the imperial court now is Li Fu, and this time Li Fu forgot to attack Qin, just to cut off Cao Ziwen's right-hand man. But he peeked at Cao Ziwen and found that his face did not change much, as if he didn't understand what Qin Forgot meant at all.
Qin Forget sighed secretly, knowing that Cao Ziwen was really angry this time, "Your Majesty, because I Chicheng uses the latest wrought iron technology, the output is a little higher, and I originally thought that this was not a big deal, so I didn't report it to Your Majesty, this matter is just a misunderstanding." ”
"Misunderstanding? Right? Li Yu forced him step by step, "Such a prolific forging method is simply a divine skill, with the ability of General Qin, I don't understand its significance?" Keeping this method of quickly increasing Dayan's national strength a secret, what kind of heart does Qin forget about you? ”
Li Yu's words were too ruthless, every sentence was like a knife inserted into Cao Ziwen's heart, and sure enough, Cao Ziwen listened to Li Yu's words, his face became even darker, and his eyes were full of murderous aura when he looked at Qin Wang.
Qin Forget secretly complained in his heart, Li Yu said this speech, he was speechless, and he directly asked for the formula. Give, Qin Forget is unwilling, don't give, I'm afraid I really can't explain it today. Cold sweat slowly appeared on his face, his heart was racing, and he kept thinking about what to do.
"The minister asks for a severe punishment of the strong general Qin Wang, such an act is no different from treason, and Weichen suggests that Qin Wang be immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death!" Seeing that Li Yu was about to kill Qin Wang, Li Chengan came out while the iron was hot and fell into the well.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Wen Man also stood up, "Qin Forget's move is simply a wolf's ambition, if you don't kill it today, it will become a big trouble for my Dayan henchmen in the future." The minister suggested that General Zhao Qianzhao immediately send troops to destroy the Chicheng army. "Wen Man is even more ruthless, and he directly wants to uproot Qin Wang.
Hearing Wen Man's suggestion, and then looking at Cao Ziwen's dark face, Zhao Ping thought again and again, "Weichen agrees with General Wen, please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to exterminate the Chicheng Army." ”
Now the only soldiers and horses stationed in the vicinity of Chicheng are the 30,000 Tongzhou army, and the main general of the Tongzhou army is Zhao Qian, the son of Zhao Ping. Zhao Pin's move expressed his support for the text. To say that the relationship between Qin Forget and the Zhao family is quite complicated, two years ago, Qin Forget seized the Zhao family's Xinzhou Water Division, which dealt a heavy blow to the Zhao family. Later, in order to exterminate Wang Gan, Qin Forget borrowed troops from Zhao Qian, so that the Zhao family could return to Cao Ziwen's field of vision again, and slowly return to the center. This time, the Zhao family made a move on Qin Wang, and Qin Wu was not surprised at all.
With these three great families expressing their stance together, almost all the ministers in the entire court demanded that Qin Forget be convicted immediately, this is not the first time Qin Forget has encountered such a scene, but it is really the first time that it is as serious as today. In the final analysis, it was Qin Forget who helped Cao Ziwen greatly hurt the interests of these families, and almost everyone was eager to cut off Cao Ziwen's right-hand man immediately.
The performance of the ministers also gave Qin Forget a wake-up call, and Qin Forget immediately had an idea, the way to survive this time must also fall on the contradiction between Cao Ziwen and the family, "Your Majesty, can you listen."
I will explain it at the end. Seeing Cao Ziwen's unpredictable face, he was very interested in the advice of the ministers, Qin Forget hurriedly said.
"Say!" After all, he was reluctant to forget Qin, and Cao Ziwen squeezed out the word from his teeth.
"Your Majesty, I, Chicheng, have an advanced forging method, and even if the last general is dedicated to Your Majesty, then can our Dayan really prosper?" Qin Forget let it out this time, and directly found out the contradiction between Cao Ziwen and the family.
Quiet!
The sudden silence of the court was terrifying!
The relationship between the major families and the royal family is clear to everyone present, but no one has ever picked it out, no one is a fool, and whoever finds out about this matter is equivalent to putting the royal family and the family in a very embarrassing situation, and it may even worsen the relationship between the two parties, who will become the target of public criticism. Qin Forget is not stupid, but he really has no choice but to make this decision, hoping to put it to death and come back to life.
"Qin Wang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Chengan took the lead in standing up, pointed at Qin Wang, and shouted, "Your Majesty, Longwei blesses the world, who doesn't have respect?" You are simply provoking the relationship between His Majesty and the ministers, such a minister, you should be punished! ”
"Your Majesty, please Qingjun's side, such a villain with ill intentions must not stay in the court, and he should be beheaded immediately!" Wen Man also stood up with a dark face and pleaded.
Qin Forget was unmoved, a pair of bright eyes stared at Cao Ziwen with a murderous face, but his heart was in his throat. Qin Forget's words undoubtedly slapped Cao Ziwen's face naked in the court, and he said unclearly that Cao Ziwen, His Majesty, couldn't suppress the ministers?
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Cao Ziwen became angry, for so many years, the weakness of the royal family is something that the whole world knows, but it is the first time that someone has made it so straightforward. Cao Ziwen felt like he had been slapped three times by Qin Wang, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Qin Wang immediately. But he was also shocked in his heart, he really had to think about it according to Qin Wang's words, then the advanced steelmaking method really couldn't reach the heart of the imperial court, and if he killed Qin Wang now, it would really be equivalent to cutting off his own arm.
"Order, Qin forgot to send an edict to prison, no one is allowed to visit, and he will be questioned on a certain day!" After thinking for a long time, Cao Ziwen gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks to say this.
The edict prison is a prison under the direct control of the emperor, which means that the criminals in this prison are convicted by the emperor himself. It is not accessible to everyone, mainly refers to the fact that high-ranking officials above Jiuqing and the county guard are guilty and need an edict from the emperor to go to prison. Qin Forget was very honored, he barely qualified for this qualification, but he was the youngest.
It is the place that civil and military officials are most afraid of, as long as they enter that place, they will die and die. It has been almost 20 years since Dayan was founded, and no one has yet come out alive. Even if they were really wronged, the jailers there had a hundred ways to get the offender to confess. Eighteen kinds of torture, such as finger throwing, sticking, skinning, tongue, spine severing, finger falling, heart piercing, and lute, are chilling, and in most cases, as long as the ministers are sent to prison, they themselves are summoned, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin.
Along the way, Qin Forget was secretly frightened. The prison was built three feet deep into the ground, with only one exit to enter. It is more than 200 zhang long and seven or eight zhang wide, and there are 400 large and small cells on both sides of the corridor. All the bars and doors of the cells were made of fine iron. There are five heavy iron gates installed every forty zhang, and there are no jailers in them, all of whom are served by the Imperial Forest Army, five steps and one post, and the guards are tight, and it is simply wishful thinking to rob the prison.
