Chapter Ninety-Six: Stand Up
On the other hand, there must be a group of back-mouthed people who come up, and that Jianqing is the best sinner, and he is the target of Zhao Hai's execution.
After Zhao Hai pondered the wording for a while, he stood up, waved his hand to the ministers below and said, "Okay, all Aiqing, don't argue anymore. ”
"I've made up my mind."
"The maidservant of the Yonggong Palace, the sword is light, the initiator, the Shenyu general who plotted to kill me, and the queen of the autumn will be beheaded."
"Concubine Lin doesn't have to accompany the first emperor to the funeral, I approved her request to cut her hair as a nun, and entered the Buddhist gate to pray for Daqin every day."
Zhao Hai paused, and the ministers below knew that Zhao Hai was about to announce Wang Xiuhu's verdict.
"Wang Xiuhu caused trouble in the harem palace, and according to the laws of Great Qin, he should be divided into five horses. However, remembering that he had made a meritorious contribution to the defeat of the Xiongnu back then, and that he was framed by others, he was hereby sentenced to a fine of one year, removed from the post of general of the Northern Expedition, and assisted the general of the Fourth Northern Expedition to lead the 300,000 army in the north in the name of General Shenyu. ”
"What do you think of my verdict?"
After listening to Zhao Hai's verdict, many courtiers were silent.
Zhao Hai's punishment can actually be regarded as a bowl of water.
The deprivation of Wang Xiuhu's position as the general of the Northern Expedition was a fatal blow to the Wang family, which meant that Wang Xiuhu would no longer be the biggest force in the military.
There is a world of difference between commanding an army of 300,000 in the north and assisting four generals in commanding an army of 300,000 in the north.
His position was instantly equal to that of the captain, and to put it bluntly, he was only a little bigger than the staff officer.
Many Wenchen, who were originally going to execute Wang Xiuhu, now after listening to Zhao Hai's sentence, did not protest and chose to acquiesce.
Just when Zhao Hai thought that everyone agreed, Liu Yuan suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
Zhao Hai frowned, this old man came out to do something again.
Zhao Hai's face remained unchanged and said, "You can talk about it, Prime Minister You." ”
Liu Yuan turned around and looked at the ministers and said, "Your Majesty's verdict, we are convinced. ”
"However, the minister thinks that His Majesty's punishment of Wang Xiuhu is not strong enough to show His Majesty's majesty, and it is not enough to maintain the majesty of the Heavenly Family."
Zhao Hai's face was cold, and he looked at the old fox jumping in front of him, and his fists were already clenched together.
However, Zhao Hai did not have a seizure, but said: "Then according to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's opinion, how should I be punished?" ”
Liu Yuan stroked his beard and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, what Wang Xiuhu committed is a serious crime of bullying the king. ”
"This matter is about the face of the Son of Heaven, and it must not be easily forgiven. I think that His Majesty the First Emperor swept the Liuhe Eight Wilderness and unified the United States, how majestic and mighty it was. How could these concubines behind him be easily defiled by others? ”
"And when it comes to Concubine Lin, it's still Your Majesty's aunt."
"This matter is really outrageous, and I ask Your Majesty to sentence Wang Xiuhu heavily."
"Otherwise."
Zhao Hai's face turned dark and asked, "Otherwise, what?" ”
Liu Yuan smiled, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, before yesterday, not only did Wang Xiuhu's case occur, but at the same time, Concubine Yue Niangniang was also assassinated and seriously injured, what the minister said is right." ”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Prime Minister Liu, what you said is certainly right. ”
Liu Yuan then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Wang Xiuhu cannot be severely punished, then the mastermind behind the assassination of the concubine will be strictly investigated, and he will be dug out and severely punished, and the people of the world will be given an explanation." ”
"The first point is to avenge Concubine Yu's mother."
"The second point is also because the sword is light and belongs to the people of Yonggong. In order to clear the suspicion of Concubine Yue and prove the innocence of Concubine Yue. lest some well-intentioned people make a fuss about this and drag Concubine Yue into the water. ”
Liu Yuan's words made it clear that he wanted Zhao Hai to thoroughly investigate the assassination case of Concubine Yue, and put Wang Xiuhu's case aside. If Concubine Yue's case can't be found out, he will also ask Zhao Hai to severely punish Wang Xiuhu.
However, at this time, he did temporarily approve of Zhao Hai's treatment.
Zhao Hai looked at Liu Yuan's face full of ravines and hesitated a little.
This Liu Yuan, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Why did he pry himself on and let himself thoroughly investigate the real culprit behind the assassination of Concubine Yue? Could it be that Liu Yuan wants to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
However, before Zhao Hai could sort out the joints, the henchmen of Liu Yuan's group stood up one by one, and they all followed Liu Yuan's tone and asked to ask for the real culprit behind the assassination of Concubine Yue.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he naturally would not refuse.
This matter, at least for now, does not hurt him.
Zhao Hai smiled, gestured with both hands and said in a silent gesture: "Ministers, listen to me." ”
The ministers present immediately quieted down and looked at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai said: "Since Prime Minister Liu Cheng proposed it, then I also believe that Concubine Yue is innocent, and Concubine Yue is also a victim." ”
"Even if the sword light maid is Concubine Yue's personal maid." When Zhao Hai said this, he took a deep look at Liu Yuan.
Then Zhao Hai continued: "Then the so-called inference that the Liu family has a relationship with the real culprit behind the framing of Wang Xiuhu's case, I also believe that it is all false. ”
"As for the case of the assassination of the concubine, I will definitely investigate it to the end, please don't worry about Prime Minister Liu Cheng and the ministers."
At this time, Liu Yuan stepped forward and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
When many ministers saw Liu Yuan bow their heads to His Majesty first, they all immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
From the current point of view, the case of Wang Xiuhu and the assassination of Concubine Yue have been revealed on the surface.
In the days that followed.
Wang Xiuhu was released from the prison and returned to Wang's house. Naturally, the position was also reduced from the general of the Northern Expedition to the general of Shenyu.
The early dynasty was still going on, and the imperial machine of Great Qin seemed to be completely unaffected by these previous events, and was running as usual.
Wei Qian made it clear to Zhao Hai at this time that the first stage of the Chen County disaster had ended safely and smoothly, and the people had been properly resettled.
Famine and plague were effectively controlled, and no more large-scale spread was carried out.
Zhao Hai's first batch of support food and silver money has been fully supported.
Now it is only necessary to transport silver money and rice grain in succession.
After listening to Wei Qian's report, Zhao Hai didn't say a word of nonsense, and transferred 700,000 taels of money from the treasury to Wei Qian, and ordered other nearby county lieutenants to support Chen County.
When Zhao Hai counted the treasury at this moment, he found that the treasury was full of a lot.
killed so many corrupt officials, and actually filled half of the treasury. The money is still not used up for disaster relief.
Zhao Hai was also a little lamented by the severity of the corrupt officials' corrupt methods.
