Chapter 716, for the people
But are they blinded by lard? gave them the opportunity to break with the rebel king and the Wen family, but they also let Wei Peng grab his wrist. Thinking about Helan Xue being injured like this, Wei Peng was only afraid that she was distressed and wanted to go for her, and there was no place for this belly to come out, so they sent it to the door again.
Chi Haichuan had already woken up, knelt on the ground and cried and begged: "The emperor spares his life, the minister is confused, he has committed a mortal crime, begging the emperor to spare the minister's capital crime, and the minister no longer dares to have two hearts." ”
Emperor Wu of Jin's voice became even colder: "If you say this now, can I still believe it?" I ask myself if I am not a faint king or a tyrant, but you insist on being in the company of those who frame your siblings and loyal ministers, that is, you are an enemy of me, an enemy of the Great Jin, an enemy of the people, I have given you a chance, if you don't cherish it, don't expect a second time. Message: Shao Bao Ziming, the Ministry of Shangshu Chi Haichuan, colluded with the rebel king, intending to subvert the Great Jin Dynasty, the evidence is conclusive, according to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, the nine clans should be punished......"
Before they finished speaking, Wei and Chi were already paralyzed on the ground.
I only heard Emperor Wu of Jin continue: "I read that these two people are both old ministers of the first emperor, who have made meritorious contributions to the society, punished the three clans, confiscated the family property and paid it to the treasury, and the slaves in the family will be disposed of according to the law." The children of the nine clans are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and enter the court as officials within three generations, and they are not allowed to join the army within five generations. He sneered: "In the past two years, natural disasters have continued, the people have lived hard, the crown princess is fighting in Western Xinjiang, and she also took out the dowry harvest for disaster relief. ”
As soon as this holy decree came out, it would never be changed, he had never discussed it with Chen Yemin and other ministers, and he didn't even give them the opportunity to report and intercede, and when he got the evidence, he secretly ordered Wei Peng, Wei Yi, and Wei Rong to keep an eye on the people of these two families, as long as their relatives had the slightest intention of escaping, they would immediately arrest Fengfu.
Outside the hall, the chamberlain hurried in again, whispering a few words in Wei Peng's ear, Wei Peng sneered, and threw a look at his father, Emperor Jin Wu understood what he meant, this is someone again. Wei Yi closed his eyes to show his acquiescence, Wei Peng ordered the inner attendant to pass people in, only to see that Wei Rong had already come in with Wei Gan with a smile, Wei Ziming completely cut off all thoughts, and the eldest grandson had also been within the scope of their monitoring, which means that his family had long been targeted, and Emperor Wu of Jin quietly arranged all these things.
He is not as ruthless as Emperor Huiwen, but this is not much worse than him, the three clans, according to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, are the father, mother, and wife, which is not much less than the nine clans, and the land in the capital will also be dyed bright red, but-
But this is different from the rebellion of King Ping, King Kang, Xie family, and Shen family, they were framed and persecuted, and right now, their own family was forced to a dead end by themselves, why did they listen to Wei Jinchen and Wen Yuanjiu's bewitchment with a thought, and they were mixed with them?
Wei Ziming suddenly climbed a few steps forward, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, this is the minister's confusion for a while, all the blame for the crime is borne by the minister, whether to kill or kill the minister, there is no other word, begging the emperor to spare the lives of his family, and the minister guarantees that they will never have two hearts." ”
Emperor Wu of Jin waved his hand, and Yu Linwei had already strode into the hall, saluted him, and dragged these people down. Wei Ziming and Chi Haichuan were still shouting and begging Emperor Wu of Jin to spare their lives, but their voices quickly disappeared, and they were probably gagged.
The silence in the hall has resumed, the ministers dare not come out, standing quietly in the hall, Emperor Wu of Jin since he ascended the throne, he has not been too harsh on the ministers, everything is as usual, he is all in response to the chaos of people's livelihood caused by these natural disasters in the first two years, and discussed a series of measures to improve people's livelihood with the ministers, I have to say that these measures are still very effective, which also includes Helan Xue's proposal, official trade with other countries, now it has spring, and in two or three months, the sea ship supervised by the Ministry of Industry will be launched for sea trials, If there is no problem, Guo Qiang will soon take people to the South Seas and the West for maritime trade, and I don't know what the result will be.
But all this does not show that the emperor is a good person, throughout the ages, any emperor has zero tolerance for rebellion, everyone has reason to think that the emperor is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, but these two chickens are really not serious chickens, but these monkeys are a little unlucky, they are innocent.
There is no doubt that the bright claws of the good-tempered Emperor Wu of Jin are still very deterrent. The Jingwei Battalion and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division controlled the two families in the first time, and in front of Wei Ziming and Chi Haichuan, they searched out some correspondence and other evidence in their study, bedroom, etc., Wei Ziming's capital letters, he didn't give himself a chance to argue at all, he couldn't even say that he was wronged, everything was normal at home, except that the courtyard was surrounded and the subordinates were counted and the roster, they didn't even enter the inner house and other places, important places such as the study, the account room and other places, after the sergeant rushed in, he directly sealed and pasted it in front of the family, No one was allowed to touch the slightest inside, and then troops were sent to guard the outside.
Therefore, when the officials of the Criminal Department and the people of the Jingwei Camp opened the door together, everything in the study and other places remained unchanged. Wei and Chi completely gave up the idea of avenging themselves, what someone planted and what was framed by others, it was useless. Think about it, the rebellion between King Kang and the Xie family was that after the two families were imprisoned, they were searched for evidence from the palace, and then they were executed. That's why he let people operate like this, to be flawless?
The result of raiding the house is not only to find out the evidence of rebellion, but also to hand over the property to the treasury, when Emperor Wu of Jin saw the property account books of these two families, he was furious, the salary of the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty is not low, they still have so much family property and can't tell the way out, they all know that Helan Xue has the support of a mother's family like the Heavenly Master, and the dowry is rich enough to rival the country, but they are not bad! When they married their eldest daughter, it was nothing more than that, but they could only be described as rich, except for a few big families, just talking about these officials in the DPRK and China, their property was definitely the sum of several people.
Emperor Wu of Jin smashed the cup of the kiln in the imperial study, since they all like to be greedy so much, then, don't blame yourself for giving them a heavy ceremony.
A few days later, a new will came out from the imperial study, Tan Taili temporarily acted as the affairs of the ministry, and officials at all levels rose by half according to the current rate, but if the corruption of officials is true, and when it exceeds a certain amount, his crime should be punished, his family members will be exiled as slaves, and three generations will not be allowed to enter the office.
In this way, it is to force officials at all levels to put an end to corruption, and it is true that they are officials, but if they are officials for money, then think about what the family behind them will do!
