Chapter 410: Rehabilitation!
Empress Wu's crying suddenly made many ministers secretly sympathize with her, because they thought that if these crimes were really fabricated by Li Xian, it was indeed too much. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Li Xian was not moved at all, but said sadly: "You are my mother, you gave birth to me and raised me, and raised me as an adult, such kindness is very high, if it weren't for what you did was really wrong, I, as a son, would never dare to be disrespectful to you, if the son did not have enough evidence in his hands, he would not dare to testify against his mother indiscriminately!" Queen Mother, although you are my mother, my cousin and aunt I can care, but my sister, my brother, and my father are all thicker than my blood, and my sister and brother are born to you, I can even ignore these, but my father is your husband, and even the king of my Tang Dynasty, you even poisoned him, and the sons and daughters will never dare to ignore him! ”
"You're saying you have the evidence of this palace? Where is the evidence? Di Aiqing, you are a master of prison breaking, help Bengong take a look, is that evidence true or false? Empress Wu didn't believe that Li Xian would have her evidence in her hands, and she had no fear in her heart, she glanced at Di Renjie, who was among the ministers, and said suddenly.
It turned out that Di Renjie had been appointed by the Empress Wu as a squire of the Ministry of Industry at this time, and he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty under the Zhongshu Sect, and he usually treated Di Renjie as kind, and knew that Di Renjie had always been upright, if those files were forged, Di Renjie would definitely point them out in public.
As long as it is pointed out that Li Xian's incident today is purely false, then this time the Empress Wu occupies the righteousness, I believe that even if Li Xian controls the situation, he can't do anything to her, and she can calmly deploy the situation.
Although Empress Wu was a little surprised that Li Xian had turned over all the cases he had done and pointed the murderer at him, Empress Wu was confident that he would not be able to get any evidence.
Since Di Renjie was named by Wuhou, it was naturally not easy to dodge, besides, he didn't want to dodge, he really wanted to know whether these files were true or not.
So Di Renjie began to review those files with his many years of experience in judging cases and his shrewd vision, and after nearly half an hour's effort, Di Renjie said with a straight face: "These files are indeed true, but the witnesses in many cases have died, such as Helan Minzhi, the witness who testified that the Queen Mother personally strangled Princess Andingsi, and the cook who testified that the Queen Mother poisoned Mrs. Wei Guo, etc., I don't know if Your Majesty still has relevant witnesses?" ”
I only heard Li Xian sigh: "Actually, I originally wanted to destroy these files, because these are not conducive to the queen mother, but later I was persuaded to stop it, no matter what, we also want to get justice for those who are wronged, so although there was physical evidence and confessions at that time, and most of the human witnesses died due to their age, and some were killed, but I still have some witnesses here, such as the cook who killed Mrs. Wei Guo, as well as the relevant witnesses of my mother's false accusation of Shangguan Yi's rebellion, as well as the relevant witnesses of the case of the first emperor being poisoned, These people should have been outside the palace by now, and I will summon them in to testify. ”
After Li Xian finished speaking, he waved his hand, and naturally someone brought these witnesses in, and when Empress Wu opened her eyes, she saw that these witnesses were all known to her, such as the detailed work "Xia'er" who was able to report to her that Gaozong secretly summoned Shangguanyi to write the edict of the Empress Wu, and Ma Jin and others who personally ordered the poison to be poisoned and sent to the hands of Empress Wu.
These people didn't know how they were found by Li Xian, but when all these people came to the front, Empress Wu suddenly felt bad in her heart, even though she had always been calm, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered now.
In the end, Di Renjie was interrogated and determined that most of the evidence brought by Li Xian was true, so the bloody cases made by Empress Wu were immediately determined to be ironclad.
"I did all these cases, not only that, even Li Xian's child was deposed by the prince back then, I did it, and Li Xian was killed at my behest, your woman Yang was also ordered to be executed, but I didn't expect that I abolished Li Xian, but I fulfilled you, this kid, I knew that I left Li Xian as a fool at the beginning, it was better than letting you be the prince, but even if everything was done by me, so what? I'm your birth mother, can you change that fact? Can you put me to death? Hey, boy, I'd like to take a look, how do you give an explanation to the world? ”
In the end, Empress Wu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she simply said it all out loud, now she is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and she is unreasonable to mess around, but the more this is the case, the more she believes that Li Xian has nothing to do with her.
"In this way, the queen mother recognized the things she did before?" Li Xian looked at Empress Wu and said very calmly.
"Naturally, you admit it, what can you do?" Empress Wu glanced at Li Xian with disdain and said proudly.
Although she knew that there would be nothing good after she admitted it, but the matter had come to this, even if she didn't admit it, there was nothing left, anyway, there were not many more crimes, and there were many fewer crimes.
"In this case, the minister had to convict the queen mother, although he was not filial, but he could not be disloyal, this world, not a person knows the world, but the world of the world, the queen mother killed the lord and husband, killed the brother and nephew, killed the sister and nephew, killed the son and daughter, these are all close relatives, the queen mother can do it, it is also a big anecdote, I am afraid that in the heart of the queen mother, any family affection is not as important as the power in the hand, right? Also, in order to grasp the power, the queen mother didn't ask the virtuous and foolish, and how many loyal and good people were unjustly killed? Even if the retainers want to forgive, so many unjust souls are still watching, how can they feel at ease? ”
Li Xian turned around and said to the ministers: "Therefore, I decided, Pei Yan, the minister of power, deceived the king and rebelled, forged an edict, and was punished by the clan, and the traitor Zhang Qianxuan supported the army to rebel, because he had been killed, so he had no family members, the man was sent to Leizhou, and the woman was included in the court, Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi brothers, colluded with Pei Yan to rebel, although he died, it was not enough to eliminate hatred, so he razed his three clans, and the female dependents were all slaves of the court, and the two henchmen Song Zhiwen, Song Zhixun, Zhou Yong, Ran Zuyong, Li Jun, Yao Shaozhi, Zhang Jiafu, Wang Qingzhi, Zong Chuke, Zong Qinke and others were all exiled to Zhenzhou and never to be used. Cool officials Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, Attempt Zhong, Hou Sizhi and others were sentenced to prison, killed Zhongliang in vain, and all of them were beheaded, and the rest of the officials, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, were given corresponding punishments such as demotion, dismissal, and exile. In addition, the first abolished Wang family, Shufei Xiao family all restored their reputations, each posthumously reprimanded, and the first emperor was buried, and the unjustly killed Shangguan Yi and others were all rehabilitated, each posthumously, and buried with the emperor's mausoleum.
