Chapter 346: Plea
In fact, Zhuo Yu has been running around outside, how could she have the time and connections to investigate the evidence of the courtiers' crimes, and even she didn't know which people in the court had committed what kind of things.
All the evidence during this period of time was investigated by Wei Chijin and Situ Ji before. Originally, it was to prevent these people from being bought by the Queen Mother or Zhuo Siyi, but they didn't expect Zhuo Yu to return to the throne so smoothly, so they simply used her as the basis for cleaning up the court.
Hearing Situ Yu's words, Zhuo Yu couldn't help but smile: "It's not thanks to you, if it weren't for that, even if I told me what moths were in the court, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it." ”
This is indeed true. Although this metaphor seems to be a little wrong here, the truth is the same.
Her voice paused, and then she said: "I just wanted to clean up the most heinous people first this time, and as for the remaining people who fought petty troubles, I didn't want to move for the time being. But they scared themselves like this. ”
As long as you enter the court, there are almost no people whose hands and feet are absolutely clean. What's more, some time ago, there were several turmoils in the imperial court, even if there were really such loyal and upright people, in the long-term turmoil, they were almost all pulled into the water.
Even if Zhuo Yu really had the intention to severely punish all the corrupt people, not to mention how long it would take for so many civil and military officials to be punished one by one, just more than half of the people available in the court and the central government were now available, and she couldn't move them for the time being.
"I originally wanted to advance this year's scientific expedition and pick some new available people, so as to replace those old moths in the DPRK. Just looking at the current situation, if I really do this, I am afraid that many ministers of the DPRK and China will secretly join forces to make the scientific examination more difficult. ”
Zhuo Yu sighed a little helplessly, he was really disappointed with such a courtier whose heart and eyes were the same size as his guts: "Forget it, the scientific expedition should be held at the original time!" ”
She thought about it very carefully, and Yu Chi Jin and Situ Ji naturally thought of this as well.
Situ Shu comforted her: "It's okay, the biggest moth in the court has been cleaned up now, and this kind of deterrence should be able to deter them for a while, enough to last until the scientific expedition begins." ”
Wei Chi Jin nodded, took his words and said, "Now that the most urgent matter has been resolved, it is time to deal with Zhuo Siyi." ”
At the mention of Zhuo Siyi, Situ Ji's expression, which was still breezy and indifferent, instantly became cold. Wei Chi Jin glanced at him without a trace, and then continued: "It is obvious to all that Zhuo Siyi was full of lies that day and wanted to compete for the throne, no matter how confused those ministers in the court are, they should have a grudge against her at this moment. If we were to put her in the light at this time, almost no one would say anything. ”
He said this, apparently after careful consideration. Zhuo Siyi has done so many wrong things and killed so many innocent people, not to mention that now Situ Ji is bent on killing her to pay for Xiaofuzi's life, even if he is replaced by any irrelevant person, he will find ways to deal with this person who is careless.
Zhuo Yu had always cared about the blood relationship between her and Zhuo Siyi, so she was very tolerant of her, but along the way, she saw the latter commit countless unforgivable sins, and she really couldn't bear it.
Zhuo Siyi's mistakes, just pick one out, are enough for her to never turn over. Zhuo Yu knows this. But she didn't have that connection, and she was far away in Zhao before, so she didn't grasp any evidence and handles.
She turned her head to look at the two of them, as if she wanted to break the suddenly oppressive atmosphere, and said in a brisk tone: "Seeing that you are so confident, there should be an accurate method, right?" Don't count on me about this, I don't have the slightest evidence of Zhuo Siyi's things, so at most I can only write a holy decree after you bring this matter up. ”
Hearing her words, Situ Ji seemed to be still thinking about Zhuo Siyi's affairs, and did not answer her for the time being, but Wei Chi Jin nodded as usual: "Don't worry, we have already prepared the things, just waiting for them to be made public tomorrow morning." ”
Now that Zhuo Yu has returned to the throne, he has stayed in the palace day and night, and he can't know in time what the two of them have discussed on weekdays. However, she knew that whether it was Wei Chijin or Situ Ji, their minds were meticulous, and since they had already said so, then she just waited for the morning to come.
As a foreign minister, Situ Shu is a first-time courtier, so it is natural that an important place like the imperial study cannot stay for a long time. Therefore, after a general discussion of the possible accidents and countermeasures for tomorrow, he took his leave and left.
Wei Chi Jin didn't rush to leave, stayed and told him very intimately about the incriminating evidence about Zhuo Siyi that he and Situ Yu had sorted out in the past few days, and then told Zhuo Yu in detail about the plan he had originally agreed with Situ Yu, and then finally walked out of the imperial study.
As they expected. On the morning of the second day, when Situ Ji stood up to count the mistakes committed by Zhuo Siyi and took out the evidence one by one, the courtiers were only surprised for a moment, but they had no opinion on how to deal with Zhuo Siyi.
On the contrary, Zhuo Yu made a show, pretended to look at the evidence carefully, and pretended to hesitate for a while, before finally agreeing to the request of the hundred officials and ordering Zhuo Siyi to be exiled to the border.
It wasn't until the early dynasty that Situ Shu's heart was finally no longer as depressed as before, and the other two felt a little incredible. Because the matter of dealing with Zhuo Siyi is inevitably too smooth.
When they were discussing in the imperial study yesterday, they thought that there might be a few old stubborns who would excuse her according to Zhuo Siyi's identity as the eldest princess of the country, and they also considered that the queen mother might not be able to give up this daughter and come out of the small Buddha hall to protect her personally. It's just that I didn't expect to let alone the courtiers, even the grandmother next to the Queen Mother didn't come to inquire about this matter this day.
On the way back to the imperial study, Zhuo Yu sighed and said as if he was emotional: "The environment in the frontier is so chaotic, Zhuo Siyi is the eldest princess, but no one in the court is willing to ask for a word of mercy for her today. It's really a betrayal. ”
Naturally, among the "betrayals and relatives", there is also a her.
Yu Chi Jin was walking side by side with her at the moment, and he couldn't see her being so sentimental, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "She deserves to be at this point, and she has never complained about others." ”
