Chapter 109: The Fall of King Qi

Hearing this, the ministers were in high spirits.

Your Majesty is planning to get rid of King Qi.

"Your Majesty......"

"Where is that rebel, call me!" Xiao Pingsi said angrily.

He also thought that the king of Qi was just fighting for power.

But I don't want to, just through Shi Wanggui, the head of the palace, I can do so many things.

That Wang Gui's testimony was rich and confided in considerable detail.

It's as small as how many people and girls King Qi robbed, and how many benefits are generated in front of He Lou...... Also, how many casualties have been caused by that batch of crossbow arrows and dead soldiers so far.

In recent years, many officials who died violently in the capital are not in high positions, so they are not eye-catching.

But they are all powerful figures.

In order to let his own people ascend to the throne, King Qi killed the people in the relevant positions, and he even disdained to buy them, and sent people to fight for which position he liked.

If you can't fight, let the other party physically disappear.

Over the past few years, more than a dozen powerful officials have been killed, most of them missing.

It was kind of like an accident.

"The minister went to proclaim ......" Wang Feng retreated and wanted to go to the palace of the king of Qi to pass on the message.

About half an hour, King Qi appeared outside the palace.

"Father...... King Qi saw that there were so many court officials in the palace, and he immediately understood that he was going to be finished.

If there were no others, everything could still maneuver, but the emperor could not favor him in public.

So as soon as he entered the hall, the king of Qi trembled, knelt down, wept, and shouted to his father.

Flutter and kneel solidly, the knee is probably not wanted.

This obedient appearance, no one can see it.

"Rebel...... What have you been doing with me all these years? ”

Xiao Pingsi gritted his teeth and threw the closing case in front of King Qi.

Holding the paperweight inkstone again, he really wanted to throw it on the head of this rebel, but he still held back.

For years, King Qi behaved like a waste.

Playing around with King Wei, eating, drinking, and having fun, it is like a gentleman.

But who would have thought that these two people were each involuting.

In order to gradually take power among the various ministries, and to be quiet, the king of Qi secretly selected many small people and promoted them step by step.

Among them, the highest is He Louqian, and the guard Li Chuan in Fuzhou.

In order to find jobs for his subordinates, he even assassinated many civil and military officials to clear the way for them.

If he is allowed to operate like this, after more than ten years, I am afraid that the people of the King of Qi within the six departments can achieve the position of squire or chief secretary.

That's an extremely large party force.

With such thoughts, King Qi's heart is clearly revealed.

But suddenly, the incident happened in front of He Lou, which caused the henchmen of King Qi to be arranged for more than ten years, and they were hit badly.

Everyone can guess how angry and angry King Qi was when He Lou happened before.

After more than ten years of operation, there is only one three-grade squire and a three-grade general stationed abroad...... But all of a sudden, King Qi was naturally furious, so it was very reasonable to be dizzy enough to assassinate Ye Hongyi to vent his anger.

In the Fengtian Palace, several ministers were silent, and only the remorseful cries of King Qi were heard.

Crying with tears in my eyes.

So much so that the emperor couldn't bear it.

But the matter has come to this point, and everyone will not give King Qi a chance, otherwise they will all be hated by King Qi in the future.

Xiao Chaoguo bore the brunt: "Your Majesty, last night's case shocked the government and the opposition. Among the three legal divisions, it is the first time in a century that an official above the fourth rank has been assassinated in Beijing. ”

This is to make the emperor aware of the important impact of this incident, so as not to make a wrong judgment.

Chen Li: "Master Ye, who is in charge of the dignified Hanging Sword Division and is on the master list, almost can't save his life in the capital...... The officials were frightened and frightened, and they couldn't live in fear. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is a mistake in the patrol battalion, please condemn your Majesty......" Zhao Gu did not shake the pot, knelt down.

A centurion's mistake is not enough to bring disaster to the commander of the patrol battalion.

But Zhao Gu's posture has to be posed.

Not to mention the emperor, anyone will prefer someone who dares to take responsibility.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin hurriedly said: "This time to encircle and suppress those dead soldiers, the patrol battalion rushed to the front, and there were a lot of injuries...... Commander Zhao was not derelict in his duties, but there were villains who were greedy and derelict in their duties. ”

Speaking for the patrol battalion, it is not for Zhao Gu.

If the patrol battalion shows weakness, the forbidden army and the Hanging Sword Division will be strengthened, but they are strong enough.

As the only patrol battalion that can contain these two sides, no matter who wants it, the patrol battalion will be dealt with too much.

"Assassinating court officials, forming a party for personal gain, greedily abolishing the law, and secretly hiding bows and crossbows......"

"Your guilt is not much more than that He Lou came here, and you don't let it go......"

Xiao Pingsi looked at King Qi, the soft light in his eyes disappeared, and it was all cold.

King Qi didn't argue, but knelt down and said: "The son knows that he is wrong, and the father and the emperor forgive ......."

He cried for a long time, but he didn't see the emperor's heart soft, so he stopped crying.

Lest you lose face.

"Go back to your fiefdom, and don't let me see you again in this life." Xiao Pingsi took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

The ministers did not dissuade them, nor did they feel that they were not enough.

This ending, everyone likes to hear it, so there is not much to say.

As for the more severe penalties...... For a prince, this is already very heavy, let the king of Qi take up the vassal early, and completely dispel his ambition to compete for the prince.

As long as it doesn't affect the court situation, the ministers of the capital don't care.

"Father?" When King Qi heard this, he was shocked.

He will never be allowed to enter Beijing, which can be regarded as a great punishment.

In the future, even if the emperor dies, he will not even be able to come to mourn, and he is destined to bear the charge of unfilial piety.

In the era when loyalty and filial piety were the mainstream, this was tantamount to stripping the king of Qi and making the world scold.

Originally, King Qi thought that at most, he would be cut from a prince to a county king, but he didn't expect to directly return to the fiefdom, knowing that he would not resist without justification.

"Get out!" Xiao Ping's silicon pressed the fire and closed his eyes.

King Qi was stunned, knowing that it was irretrievable, so he had to smile bitterly.

Then kowtowed and said: "Father take care, son-in-law is gone......"

After that, without waiting for the emperor to shout flat, he got up by himself and staggered out of the hall.

"Report the outcome of the case to the Cabinet and send it to the provincial ......"

"Yes." Dali Temple Qing Chen should say.

Xiao Pingsi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Only Wang Feng came back from outside the palace, and he stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, say it." Xiao Ping said coldly.

Wang Feng bowed down: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is ...... outside the palace"

Lady?

King Qi's biological mother, a quiet and elegant woman.

Thinking of her, although Xiao Pingsi has no love, he can't get bored.

She has such a good temperament, so that people can't find fault with it.

Xiao Pingsi sighed lightly: "Let her go, if she wants, go to Qidi with that rebel." ”

"Your Majesty, this is not in order, is it?" Wang Feng was worried that he would be questioned by the royal clan.

"It's a fate...... If you ask her, if she wishes, I will cut her concubine, and it will be no problem. ”

Wang Feng received the order and went out in silence.

Soon, Xiao Pingsi heard the cry coming from outside the hall.

Wang Feng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu took off her hairpin and knelt outside the hall to thank you." ”

He looked at the emperor cautiously, not knowing what this Ninety-Five Supreme at this moment was thinking in his heart.

Presumably displeased, even annoyed.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Pingsi laughed at himself: "I know that there is no concubine in the harem who can love me more than his son." ”

"Your Majesty...... This is just human nature, and there is no need to be sad. Wang Feng couldn't bear to persuade.

"Human nature...... Yes, I shouldn't be greedy, it's just a marriage of interests......" Xiao Pingsi said lightly.

……

The next day, the Cabinet issued a notice of closure.

Explain and dispose of the detailed rules of the case of He Louqian and King Qi.

Those who were sentenced earlier, it was time to execute, and the cases that the emperor personally supervised did not need to wait until the autumn queen.

Wang Feng personally came to the palace of Qi to proclaim:

"Xiao Xuan, the king of Qi, is unable to be virtuous, greedy for profit and forgetful, and provokes the law of the country...... Deprived of the prince's honorific title, demoted to the king of the county, and then the land was conquered on the same day, and he was not allowed to leave without a will......"

King Qi thought that he could deal with it calmly, but it had already been decided anyway.

But when the will came, he still couldn't hold back, and his face was red with excitement and his eyes were full of tears.

changed from a prince to a county king, and was driven back to the fiefdom, and he couldn't return to Beijing for the rest of his life......

Since the beginning of this dynasty, there has never been a prince who has been treated so harshly.

Doomed to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Your Highness, take the order." Wang Feng sighed, he didn't have the heart to ridicule or fall into the well, but had some pity.

If you knew today, why bother in the first place.

"Erchen...... Pick up the order. King Qi trembled his gums and tried not to cry.

But when the holy decree was handed over, Wang Feng's words still made him break the defense.

"Your Majesty has room for words, Your Highness should introspect yourself...... His Majesty cut Concubine Shu's concubine position and allowed her to return to the fiefdom with His Royal Highness, which has never been done before. ”

"Father!"

King Qi couldn't hold back and cried, this time it wasn't acting.
