Chapter 321: Inner Palace Corruption Case (5)
Wang Xi's heart trembled, and then he immediately turned around and went out. www.biquge.info After a while, Wang Bu and the other three were called over.
After seeing Yun Xi, they all hurriedly knelt down. He didn't say anything to beg for mercy, but just admitted his mistakes.
It's a pity that Yun Xi had already made up his mind at this time, and he didn't pay attention to what they all said, and said directly: "Wang Jin, you serve as the eunuch of the capital governor, and you are also in charge of the Fengtian Palace, the Jinshen Hall and other palaces, but you are corrupt and live up to the holy grace. It should have been dealt with severely, but for the sake of your love for serving me for many years, I will remove you from the post of eunuch, demote and stay in office, and continue to manage the Fengtian Palace, the Jinshen Hall and other palaces, if you commit another crime, you will not be forgiven. ”
"Wang Bu, as a celebrant and eunuch, you are in charge of the eunuchs of the entire palace and the affairs of the palace, but, forget it, don't talk about it. Remove you from the position of celebrant and eunuch, remove the power of the chief eunuch, and follow me for the time being. ”
"Wang Gong," Yun Xi paused slightly, and his voice became a little trembling: "I think you are the eunuch of the Imperial Tomb Divine Palace, you go to the Imperial Tomb to guard the spirit of the ancestors." ”
Wang Bu and Wang Jin listened to Yun Xi's treatment of them, and they both kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." But the two of them mean different things.
For Wang Jin, he and Wang Xi are one of the people who are most familiar with Yun Xi, although Yun Xi did not deal with it seriously just now, but his voice was indifferent, and he had no feelings to talk to them usually. So Wang Jin already knew that after this incident, their relationship with Yun Xi had been reduced a lot, which was definitely not a good thing.
Wang Jin couldn't help but secretly hate why he didn't insist on accepting bribes like Wang Xi in the first place. But at this point it is too late to regret.
Wang Bu didn't know Yunxi as well as Wang Jin. Wang Bu's management talent was above Wang Jin and Wang Xi, so he later became the chief eunuch; But his understanding of Yun Xi is obviously not as good as that of Wang Xi and Wang Jin. At this time, I just thought of escaping the catastrophe, and I didn't think about the love. So Wang Bu was just immersed in rejoicing.
Wang Gong completely lost his spirit and collapsed on the ground. For the eunuchs in the palace, as long as they don't leave the palace, they still have a chance; But once you leave the palace, it's completely finished.
Then, Wang Gong couldn't care about anything, came up and hugged Yun Xi's leg and said: "Your Majesty, you can punish the slaves however you want, but don't drive the slaves out of the palace!" As he spoke, he began to cry bitterly.
Yun Xi stood a little close to them when he preached the edict just now, so he was hugged by Wang Gong all of a sudden. Since Yun Xi has made up his mind, he will never change, and stretches out his legs to get rid of Wang Gong, but it doesn't work.
Wang Xi on the side hesitated, but asked Huang Fu and Huang Lu to step forward and drag Wang Gong away.
Yun Xi looked at Wang Gong and couldn't bear it, but finally said, "When you arrive at the imperial tomb, you can do it yourself." Then let the new eunuch who had only been sent to him serve today drag Wang Gong away.
Yun Xi turned his head to Wang Jin and Wang Bu and said, "You two both step back and go to Kunning Palace to cooperate with the queen's next interrogation." I don't want to see you anymore! Get out! Get lost! ”
Wang Bu and Wang Jin didn't dare to speak, turned around and retreated. The other little eunuchs also retreated one after another, and only Yunxi and Wang Xi were left in the room, and they didn't know what they said.
=================================
Kunning Palace, after listening to the words of the little eunuch who came with Wang Bu and Wang Jin, Xi Yao asked them to retreat, and let Wang Jin and Wang Bu cooperate with Huili to continue to investigate and deal with the case.
Xi Yao pondered Yun Xi's meaning in her heart. In fact, the matter of Wang Bu and Wang Jin is very clear, they are big officials, and they are not direct handlers, and the matter of accepting bribes is actually easy to investigate, and there is nothing that needs to be repeatedly cooperated. On the contrary, the problem of Wang Gong, which is more serious, was not investigated, and he was directly demoted. Legally, it is very inappropriate.
However, although Xi Yao is not a roundworm in Yun Xi's stomach, and he doesn't know Yun Xi's temper in the Qianqing Palace, he also guessed Yun Xi's thoughts.
For Yun Xi, he actually didn't care about the money they embezzled, but mainly because they were still corrupt when they were not short of money at all, so it didn't matter how much money Wang Gong embezzled, so since the decision to punish Wang Gong had been made, there was no need to continue the investigation.
As for the other eunuchs and young eunuchs involved, Xi Yao estimated that Yun Xi had already decided the outcome. If Xi Yao's prediction is good, Wang Gong is kicked out of the palace, then the others will inevitably end up very miserable. The emperor did not need to have any scruples about dealing with eunuchs at all.
Xi Yao instructed Huili and Liu Qian'an to continue to investigate the case. Because the most difficult part of Wang Gong's corruption does not need to find out what happened, it only needs to find out who is involved.
Xi Yao, who grasped Yun Xi's thoughts, instructed Hui Li and Liu Qian'an to sort out the dossier, and asked them to report the matter to Yun Xi, she as a queen could never do such a thing in person.
Yun Xi didn't even look at it, and said directly; "All the eunuchs and young eunuchs involved were all executed, mainly directly involved in the execution, and the rest of the people involved were all demoted to the lowest eunuchs. The rest of this case, even if it is not clear, does not need to be investigated. If you have to investigate, the queen will make the final decision on the rest of the matter, don't bother with this matter anymore! ”
He didn't want to hear anything about it anymore.
After Huili came back and told Xi Yao about it, Xi Yao also ordered: "This case is not investigated, so let's deal with it like this." "Continuing to investigate this case will obviously make Yun Xi unhappy, and Xi Yao's own purpose has basically been achieved: the original eunuchs and young eunuchs of the Yamen such as Shang Shan Jian have been wiped out, and Yun Xi has not been on the board of directors for the past few days, so they are all temporarily appointed by Xi Yao to take care of them, Xi Yao can form a new practice through these days, even if he hands over these positions later, it doesn't hurt.
Huili could understand what Xi Yao meant, but she was reluctant, she wanted to dig up all the people involved. But she didn't dare to disobey Xiyao's words, so she could only agree unwillingly.
Xi Yao also knew Huili's thoughts, so she comforted her softly for a while before letting her deal with the rest of the matter.
On the third day, Wang Gong was escorted out of the capital, and the rest of the eunuchs were executed in batches. This is the end of the first corruption case in the first year of Jianye, but his influence will not stop there.
