Chapter 319: Inner Palace Corruption Case (3)
Xi Yao put aside her own thoughts and continued to preside over this Inner Palace corruption case. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she used the palace chief priest Si Zhenghui and the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, Liu Qian'an, who added the rank of young eunuch, as the main personnel for interrogating corrupt eunuchs, and she could not be interrogated in person by a queen.
Xiyao also asked Zhiyi to send Wang Bu and the other three into a house more politely, and the three of them basically met what they wanted, but they were not allowed to go out.
Although Huili is a woman, but the interrogation is very set, coupled with the undoubted facts, many people honestly confess their affairs without much resistance. Therefore, the more people are arrested, and all the yamen involved in foreign procurement are basically involved.
Of course, Xiyao didn't arrest everyone involved. Even if several yamen related to procurement are not directly involved, most of them know about it, and if they are all arrested, there will not be many people in these yamen, and the effect is similar to the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's cleanup of the six departments because of the Guo Huan case in history.
Therefore, Xi Yao only ordered that those who were directly involved in corruption should be put away, excluding those who received money just because of their high position. Of course, such a person Xiyao has also been recorded, as an inner palace corruption case that has never been seen since the middle of Hongwu, of course, it has to be Yun Xi's final decision.
It's busy, and soon it's time for dinner. After Xi Yao learned that Yun Xi would not come to the Qianqing Palace at night, she beckoned her cronies who were involved in the case to accompany her to dinner.
During the meal, because all the people present were cronies, Tingle looked around and saw that the little palace maids serving were all in the distance, and then said to Huili: "Huili, how did you make those eunuchs speak?" What are they afraid of? ”
Huili glanced at Xi Yao, Xi Yao didn't speak as if she was about to laugh, and Hui Li shook her head gently at Tingle.
After dinner, Huili said to Tingle in private, "I'll tell you." The eunuchs were mutilated and incomplete, so they all wanted to grow that thing after they were powerful; Even if you can't grow up in this life, I hope that you won't devote yourself to eunuchs in the next life. ”
"So I asked Liu Qian'an to say to them: 'Now that the evidence is conclusive, if you don't say anything, you will inevitably die after being tortured.' You don't look like the guards can't do anything at will. ”
"Moreover, if you don't say anything, you will find someone to do things in the mass graveyard after you die, so that you will be eunuchs for the rest of your life. And if you cooperate honestly, even if you still can't escape death in the end, you will be allowed to bury a pottery thing. ’”
"And then most people were honest."
Although he was still a virgin, he certainly understood what he meant by 'that thing' in the Imperial Palace.
Tingle said with a flushed face: "I'm really convinced, and I can still come up with such an idea." How did you come up with such a poisonous idea? ”
Huili's face was also a little red, and he said softly: "Then don't ask, I will definitely not say it." And don't tell anyone about it, don't tell anyone else. ”
Tingle said, "I know. ”
=================================
After Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace, although he was still criticizing the excerpts, he was absent-minded and did not read a single excerpt for half a day.
Yun Xi simply threw all the folds aside, and commanded: "Today, all the more urgent folds will be issued after the auxiliary officials have approved them, and they don't need to be reviewed by me, just stamp them directly." However, a copy should be kept in the palace. ”
Then Yun Xi went back to his dormitory.
The assistants and the guards who were present looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. This is the first time since Yoon-hee ascended the throne that power has been delegated when he is not sick.
But they didn't dare to ask when they looked at Yun Xi's face, so they could only continue to do their work. However, after getting off work in the evening, many people were enthusiastic to share this matter with their friends, and now the public rental housing for middle- and low-level officials is suitable for officials to chat, so the news that 'Yun Xi has no heart to deal with political affairs' has spread at an alarming speed throughout the official class in Beijing.
Yun Xi naturally didn't know that he didn't have the heart to deal with political affairs, and the matter spread all over the officials of the capital in just one night, so he went back to his dormitory and stayed alone.
Wang Xi naturally knew why Yun Xi was like this, but he was not suitable to persuade Yun Xi. As for the others, except for Huang Fu and Huang Lu, who had just entered the palace, the eunuchs close to Yun Xi were also arrested or locked up, and there was no one to persuade them.
No one knows what Yunxi was thinking tonight, except for Yunxi himself.
The next day, Yun Xi got up in the morning and went to court as usual, this can't be stopped. But Yoon-hee is also absent-minded.
Although Yun Xi is not very attentive because there is actually nothing important in the early dynasty, today's distraction is far more than in the past. Not only Wang Xi, who was standing next to Yun Xi, found out, but even the six Shangshu and the four auxiliary officials standing in front of the audience saw it.
But at this time, although the civil officials still believed that the emperor's affairs were not family affairs and were all state affairs, they still did not speak easily when they did not know what was going on, and they were not like their colleagues after 200 years in history.
The palace and the outside of the palace are almost two worlds, and after the eunuchs who were bought were arrested, the news outside the palace could only pass through the guards. But the ordinary guards didn't know what was going on, and the guards who knew more about the inside story didn't dare to speak.
Yun Xi's emphasis on leaks has made it so that what happened in the palace has not been reported until now, except for the very few top nobles who can bury nails in the palace.
Yun Xi immediately came to the Qianqing Palace after leaving the court. At this time, Xiyao had also gotten up and was dealing with the case of corruption in the palace this time.
Yun Xi thought about it, and didn't ask to find Xi Yao, but personally came to the place where Huili and others interrogated the case.
Huili didn't sleep much last night, and after dinner, he was busy again, and he got up again to sort out the files and interrogate the prisoners. But although she had only slept for an hour and a half, her eyes were red, she showed no signs of exhaustion.
Huili had just finished interrogating a person, and immediately asked Liu Qian'an on the side: "Have you recorded what the young eunuch of the knitting bureau said just now?" ”
Liu Qian'an slept for half an hour more than Huili yesterday, but he was very sleepy at this time. Usually they go to bed at midnight, and even if they wake up in the morning, they can sleep for about five hours, so he feels very tired today.
Suddenly, Liu Qian'an heard Huili's words, and hurriedly replied: "It's all recorded, and not a word has been left behind." ”
Huili nodded, and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly heard the little eunuch at the door shouting: "The slave has seen Your Majesty!" ”
