Chapter 575: Suicide
In the past, in Taiping Township, Macheng, everyone called him Gouyu. This is actually a very common name, the children of poor families take cheap names to make a living, dogs, babies, dogs, eggs, dogs, etc., or stones and tree roots and the like. He thought that he would be the only one in this life, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Jun later and be given the name Guoliang by him.
The pillars of the country, the pillars of the country.
At one point, he did deserve that name.
The proud disciple of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, the confidant Yuanzuo. In his early twenties, he was already the chief military officer of a reorganized town, with the rank of former general, and the earl of the founding county.
The monthly allowances and rewards add up to more than 10,000 silver dollars, and at least 200,000 yuan can be credited to the account a year.
If 200,000 pieces are all converted into silver dollars, one and a half weights, and 200,000 pieces are 6,250 catties, and these silver dollars need at least fifty or sixty people to pick.
That's a lot of money.
And just five years ago, he hadn't seen a whole silver ingot or two.
At that time, his family was in Macheng, although Macheng was rich, but their family was in Taiping Township, Macheng, the poorest mountainous area in the county. He has many brothers and sisters, but he is extremely poor, and he can't even mix food and clothing.
Today's garrison admiral Zhang Guodong and Saishang admiral Zhang Guozhu are also from Taiping Township, and their villages are only dozens of miles apart. The same background, the same follow Liu Jun, the same was later appreciated by the Han Emperor, was given a name, and became the protégé of the Han Emperor.
However, since Gou Yu became the head of Bai, he began to spend money lavishly, but the brothers Dong Gouzi Guodong and Ergou Guozhu have always been very picky, and he once laughed at these two.
He still remembered what Winter Dog had told him at that time.
"We are Shanliwa, why do we have today? Isn't it because I followed the right person, but we can't forget our roots, we are all born in the mountains. Born in poverty, although life is better now, we must not forget the past. In my eyes, a silver dollar is not a silver dollar, but a pile of silver in white flowers. In the past, the prey caught in the mountains was reluctant to eat. Send it to the city to sell, and the silver horns sold must be tightly held in the palm of your hand, and you will go to the salt shop to exchange for salt. When I arrived at the salt shop, the silver horns had already come out of the water. ”
"At that time, in my heart, silver was salt, and only when there was silver could there be salt to eat, and there was no silver. I can only eat light food, and I have no strength to work. ”
At that time, Gou Yu was also touched by those words. But soon, he put it aside disapprovingly, of course he has to spend it when he has money, is it possible to live a hard life?
The dog spends a lot of money and spends a lot of money, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger, and the money is getting higher and higher. He's spending more and more money. Marry a wife and have children, enter Beijing and enter the city. settled down and bought a house, the body is silk and satin, the food is also delicacies from the mountains and seas, and even the flowers used are all extravagant.
But no matter how much you spend, you will actually be rewarded with his money. It's still enough.
In fact, he is not short of money at all, and there is no need to embezzle those public funds, but I don't know how, he is just a ghost.
At this point, he was in prison. He regretted it.
He suddenly realized that he didn't need that money at all, and at his status, the income of two or three hundred thousand silver dollars a year, no matter how much he enjoyed it, it was enough.
"Zhao Gouleft."
There was a shout from the other side, pulling his thoughts back, and no one had called him by his name for a long time. Since he was changed by the emperor, his official fortune has been prosperous, and his position has become higher and higher, and no one has ever called him a dog.
In front of him, the chief officer of the Three Law Divisions personally met the trial, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, in addition to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as well as the Wucheng Terracotta Division and the Privy Council, also had people present at the jury.
The presiding judge was Ni Yuanlu, the imperial historian of Zuodu, who was dressed in a purple robe at this time, and asked him, "Zhao Gouyu, the evidence is like a mountain, what else can you say?" ”
The dog left smiled.
"I'm guilty."
His cooperative attitude made Ni Yuanlu a little surprised and a little annoyed, could it be that Zhao Gou thought that he was the Yuan Cong of the Son of Heaven, so he thought that he could escape justice?
However, he misexpected Zhao Gouyu, he just understood it all at once.
made such a big mistake and lost millions of silver dollars to the imperial court, and he didn't have the face to live at all.
There is only one death to atone for sin.
Ni Yuanlu was shocked, "Now that the evidence is ironclad, and you also plead guilty to the law, then everything in this case is clear, and now the verdict is pronounced in this constitution, and the decision is made!" ”
The officials on the side of the jury all took a deep breath of cold air, this Ni Yuanlu actually directly announced the execution.
The jury's Dali Siqing couldn't help but remind him carefully, "Do you think carefully before making a decision?" ”
Ni Yuanlu said, "Your Majesty has already approved this case, and as long as you get ironclad evidence, it will be dealt with strictly." ”
Dali Siqing wanted to tell him that this was a protégé of the dignified son of heaven, a confidant father, the founding earl of the empire, and a former general officer of the integrated town, in the military circles, this person could at least rank in the top 30 in the real power of the army.
Even if the emperor said that he was severely punished on the surface, he was afraid that the emperor was not very willing in his heart, in case the emperor turned around and regretted it again, at that time people could not be resurrected after death, wouldn't it be to blame them.
It's a pity that Ni Yuanlu didn't pay attention to what he meant at all.
"Three days later, Benxian personally supervised the sentence at the noon gate, and hundreds of officials watched the punishment, and the Ming canonical punishment!"
With a snap, Ni Yuanlu slapped the shocking wood again, and the case was decided.
The officials of the Criminal Department stepped forward to take the dog Yu to the prison of the Criminal Department, but Feng Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walked up.
"Leave it to us."
The officials of the Criminal Department were embarrassed, but the opposite was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had just returned from outside the gate, and was still a marquis, but also a commander, one of His Majesty's brothers.
He looked back at Ni Yuanlu.
Ni Yuanlu didn't expect to kill a Feng Sheng halfway.
Feng Sheng didn't have a good face at Ni Yuanlu, and said with a cold face, "The prisoner Jinyi Wei has been imprisoned." ”
After speaking, he directly asked his subordinates to take people and left.
Ni Yuanlu stood there with a blushing face, but he couldn't say anything.
He didn't know if this was the emperor's intention, but Feng Sheng had just rushed back from the emperor's side after all.
Jinyi Wei edict prison.
Now the Jinyi Guards are no longer in charge of escorting the guards, mainly responsible for intelligence, but the Beizhen Fusi below still maintains an edict, and they still have part of the power to investigate, interrogate and detain prisoners.
"Get a table of noodles, you want to be of the best quality." Feng Sheng said to his subordinates.
The dog smiled and sat down on his own.
"Thank you for the send-off wine."
Feng Sheng's heart was very complicated, but seeing that the dog had such an attitude, he couldn't stop the fire and went up.
"Stupid!"
Feng Sheng scolded in Macheng dialect, everyone is from Macheng, the first group of people to follow the emperor. Feng Sheng was the emperor's sworn brother, one of the thirteen Taibao in Xiwan that year, and Gou Yu was the first group of subordinates recruited by the emperor, and he was also one of the thirty-six countries that were later named by the emperor.
Even among the thirty-six countries, he is still very qualified.
The pillars and pillars, he was the first batch of names given by the emperor, only one place behind Zhang Guodong and one place ahead of Zhang Guozhu. Feng Sheng and him are also very familiar, they came out of the same place, but now they look like they have gone astray.
There was no smile on the dog left's face, "I know, I have failed Your Majesty, and I have lost the face of our lords." I was fascinated for a while, and now it is also a cause of sin. I lost millions of public money to the imperial court, and I"
"Fuck your shit!" Feng Sheng scolded.
"Do you think Your Majesty cares about that million? Tell you, your shortfall of one million, Your Majesty has already made up for it for you with internal money. Your Majesty is angry that your eyelids are so shallow, you actually want to open an underground bank, embezzle public funds just to lend high, collect some interest money, you fucking follow Your Majesty to fight the world, just so damn conscious? Are you fucking lacking food or wearing less, or are you useless? How much interest can you make a year with a fucking high loan? ”
"Is it worth it, for the sake of a little profit, you put your future into it?"
The more Feng Sheng spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped it on the table, shaking the sky.
"Are you in your twenties?"
"Twenty." Gou Yu replied honestly.
"Twenty." Feng Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, the twenty-year-old founding uncle, the former general rank of the general of the integrated town, has a bright future. The emperor was also preparing to promote him to the rank of admiral and let him move to northern Liaobei. But this bastard was trapped for a little silver and planted.
"You are only ****** twenty years old this year, a few years younger than Your Majesty, you are already a founding uncle, in another ten years, will you not be a founding prince? In ten years, you will already be a commander, and it will be a matter of time before you are promoted to a general, maybe in twenty or thirty years, it is possible to be crowned a prince. ”
"Don't say it, I have failed Your Majesty and everyone." The dog is left with a painful way.
When the wine and food came up, Feng Sheng accompanied the dog and said a lot of wine.
The only thing that the dog can't let go of is his son who is just over a year old.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty has already said that the crime is not as good as your family, your son can make an exception to attack the lord, and your property will also be left to your wife and children."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gou Yu knelt at the table and kowtowed to the north. "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely charge for Your Majesty, and I am willing to be Your Majesty's pawn again."
Feng Sheng's eyes were a little red, and he couldn't help but turn his head.
After a long time, the wine was drunk.
Feng Sheng sighed, "Your Majesty also wants to protect you, but the law of the country is intolerable." According to the law of the country, you will be beheaded at the noon gate, but Your Majesty remembers your merits in the past few years and wants to preserve your last trace of dignity, Your Majesty specially gives you a pot of gold dust wine to save you from being punished at the noon gate and protect your whole body. ”
As he spoke, Feng Sheng put a pot of wine on the table.
This is also a courtier, the emperor's last gift to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The dog bowed down to the north and thanked him.
"Dog, do you have anything else to say? I can convey it to you, and if you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can also tell me. ”
"Please Your Majesty take care of my wife and children for me, I'll go first."
Feng Sheng nodded, got up and left.
After a while, his subordinates reported that the dog had drunk the gold dust wine and committed suicide.
With a long sigh, Feng Sheng waved his hand, "Go and report the three law divisions, let them come to the autopsy." (To be continued.) )
