Chapter 650: The Dust Settles
If it was just a confession, it would not have been able to make the case turn around, and the most important thing was that Guo Ling issued a notebook.
This notebook, written by his biological mother and aunt, records many events from the last years of the first emperor to his death, and there are several paragraphs in it, which just corroborate Guo Ling's accusations.
Such a large number of accurate accusations made a huge breakthrough in the investigation of the case, and the three divisions urgently retried a number of witnesses.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ying's interrogation of pearls and agate was stranded indefinitely.
Naturally, this human and physical evidence that popped up out of thin air is very strange in itself, and the three divisions need to repeatedly verify it, and they dare not ignore it.
On the one hand, they conducted joint court trials many times, questioning Guo Ling and many witnesses; On the other hand, they also found a master who was good at distinguishing the ancients, screened the paper of the notebook, and sent people to the place where Ming Xin went in and out before his death to obtain information from various sources.
Half a month later, the testimony and exhibits were all proven to be true.
So far, the eldest princess who caused a sensation in the entire Great Chu Dynasty and Xingjibo's rebellion, the eldest princess's multiple murders, Xiangshan County's lord's multiple murders, Xingjibo's wife's multiple murders, and Xingjibo's second son Guo Chong's murder cases have all been solved.
Among them, the most sensational is the case of Xingjibo's wife Cheng who murdered her daughter-in-law Han.
It is rumored that Cheng discovered very early that the eldest princess fell in love with Guo Zhun at first sight, but at that time, Guo Zhun had already married his wife Han and had a daughter, and the husband and wife were very affectionate. Seeing this, Cheng had a poisonous plan, poisoned and killed his daughter-in-law Han, and at the same time set up a clever situation, so that the eldest princess and Guo Zhun had no matchmaker. In the end, the Han family died of poison, and the eldest princess was also pregnant, under the persecution of the Cheng family, Guo Zhun had to be the master, and Guo Chong, the son of the Cheng family, inherited the title naturally.
Such a vicious wicked woman is a hundred times more hateful than what is said in the book, and the people of Shengjing hate it so much that the spittle stars can drown people.
In addition, the murder cases of the eldest princess and the lord of Xiangshan County also made the people of Shengjing extremely angry.
This pair of royal mothers and daughters are noble on the outside, but secretly they are tyrannical, cruel and abnormal, and the servants are extremely vicious, and countless corpses are carried from the eldest princess's mansion to mass graves every year, and there is even a family that has been killed by a rod, all kinds of evil deeds, outrageous.
The Three Law Divisions dispatched nearly ten scribes to transcribe and summarize all the cases one by one, and presented a thick report to Emperor Yuan Jia.
It is rumored that the piece was three feet thick, and it took Emperor Yuanjia seven nights to finish reading it.
Reading the recital, Long Yan was furious.
The Great Chu Dynasty is recuperating, but who would have thought that under the nose of the Son of Heaven, his relatives colluded with foreign enemies one by one, and even degraded their personal morality, mutilated the people, and disregarded people's lives.
Even bandits who kill people without calculation can kill these many people.
How is this not shocking?
How can it not be infuriating?
How can it not be heart-wrenching?
Emperor Yuan Jia smashed a royal case on the spot, angry and sorrowful, the imperial city heard it, and then issued an edict overnight, and the first to descend was the edict of guilt.
In the edict, Emperor Yuan Jia bitterly condemned himself for his connivance and appeasement for more than ten years, and even went to the foot of the imperial city and in front of the eyes of all the people, giving birth to such a great evil and traitorous person, and the first culprit in this case was the Son of Heaven himself.
Then, Emperor Yuanjia issued several wills in a row, counted the crimes of the eldest princess and others, and set the final tone for this case with the words "the crime is unforgivable, and the law should be punished".
The eldest princess fornicated with the party, plotted to usurp the throne, and killed people, and the crime should be Ling Chi. Remembering that it was the only flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Yuan Jia opened the net, left her whole corpse, took away the title of the princess, gave Bai Aya wine, and cut it off by himself.
Guo Yuan, the lord of Xiangshan County, was cruel and violent, murderous, and deserved to be beheaded. Thinking that he was still young, and he was not involved in rebellion, he was even more affected by his mother's sin, and he was attacked twice, and the situation was pitiful. snatched the title, was confined in the cold palace, and could not come out for the rest of his life.
Although Guo Zhun was not involved in rebellion, he disregarded the dynasty and acted for selfishness, and he did not fulfill the responsibilities of a courtier, so he should be held responsible. He was degraded to a commoner and exiled to Mobei for five years, within three generations, and was not allowed to take the imperial examination.
Xingjibo Guo Chongwei, Xingjibo's wife Guo Chengshi, and Xingjibo's second son Guo Chong, fornicated with the party, killed people, and was executed by Ling Chi.
The crimes of the Xingjibo Guo clan were unforgivable, and they were demoted to commoners, and they were sent to the sea and frontier, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing or take the imperial examination for generations.
Guo Wan, the son of the East Palace, did not notice the trouble, tolerated the dirt, although the circumstances were excusable, his mistakes were not pitiful, and he took away the title, and ordered the Huangjue Temple to meditate for ten years.
In addition to the disposal of the above people, Guo Ling, the only one who made great contributions in this case, received additional commendations.
Emperor Yuan Jia personally issued an amnesty decree so that he did not have to be guilty of the same crime as his clansmen, and gave him a female household, a grange in the suburbs of Beijing, 100 acres of fertile land, and a certain amount of gold and silver, and allowed him to marry on his own, and others were not allowed to interfere.
After the decree was issued, Emperor Yuanjia once again issued an edict of guilt, crying blood and full of remorse.
As soon as this edict came out, the eldest princess's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, could no longer sit still, and followed it with a statement of affection, willing to represent the crime of the Son of Heaven, ban Changxi Palace for two years, and meditate on her own crimes.
For a while, there was a sigh in Shengjing City, and the mother and son of the Heavenly Family were filial piety, but they also suppressed the not very good rumors some time ago.
Autumn is full of grass and trees in the high city, and this eventful autumn is also settled with the eldest princess and Xing Jibo's rebellion.
When everything was finally a foregone conclusion, everyone was shocked to realize that the autumn died early, and it was winter again.
After the big cold, the weather is getting colder day by day, but there is no snow, only the winter rain continues, everything is depressed, the world is cold, and the prosperous Shengjing City has also entered the midwinter season.
The aristocratic circle of Shengjing, which had been silent for more than a month, finally gradually recovered its vitality before the end of the year.
Everyone thought that Emperor Yuanjia's anger was about to set off a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people in the capital would suffer.
However, now it seems that Ming Jun is Ming Jun, and he never engages in joint sitting, such as several in-laws in Xingjibo's Mansion, or some henchmen of the eldest princess and Empress Dowager Xiao, who are basically not implicated in this case.
It can be seen that Emperor Yuanjia has clear rewards and punishments, and he will not tolerate those who are guilty; However, those innocent people do not need to be afraid, and they can live in peace.
With this quasi-letter, the nobles who had shrunk for several months could not be idle again, and all kinds of feasts and drinks gradually increased.
Although the weather is cold and frozen, and there is no heavy snow, fortunately, there are cold plums blooming, Ruixiang is in full bloom, the red clay stove, incense cage, and warm Qing Pavilion are a good foil for the dark incense and the distant view.
This is still an elegant family, looking for an elegant leader, everyone together to have fun. There are even those who like to be lively, not the whole birthday but also to make a birthday banquet, or a child's 100 days, a child's full moon, etc., in short, all the reasons that can be used to invite guests to eat, they will be brought, so that this soul who has been frightened for a few months can be safe.
