Chapter 425: Settle accounts after the autumn

In April of the third year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor led a large army to fight with Russia in the western Xinjiang, won a complete victory, annihilated countless enemies, captured many thieves and chieftains, rewarded the Mongolian tribes who participated in the war, and named Zhungar Khan to be the king of Anping, and Tseling Dundobu as the king of Anle, and invited the two families to live in Beijing, and ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build two palaces in Beijing to show their sincerity.

At the beginning of May of the third year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor triumphed from the western Xinjiang, and before leaving, he appointed Li Ke, the general of the expedition to the west, to build the capital of Urumqi, to control the various departments, leaving 20,000 troops and a firearms battalion to guard the frontier, and set up more fortresses along the Brento Sea and the Ili River to defend the territory. On September 18, the third year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor drove to Beijing, and hundreds of officials from the court went out of the city for ten miles to kneel to welcome the holy car, and nearly one million people in Beijing helped the old and the young to greet each other.

The battle is over, but the matter is not over - announcing to the world, sacrificing heaven and earth, worshiping the ancestral temple, sealing meritorious ministers, rewarding the three armies, and so on, Yinzuo is so busy that he is dizzy. It's easy to toss for three days, and finally these things are cleared, Yinzuo can't breathe a sigh of relief, the reform of the military system is still waiting for Yinzuo to plan, of course, before that, the handling of the old Bayi Party has to be done first - the matter involves rebellion, the people involved, although the incident has been half a year, the three divisions have passed, but every time it is folded, Yinzuo always stays in the middle and never makes a final decision on this matter, resulting in the overcrowding of the Jingshi Heavenly Prison, and there are people who complain.

Autumn is high and cool, it is a good weather to kill people, it is impossible not to kill people in such a shocking case, Yinzuo is not a bodhisattva-hearted character, there is no unnecessary compassion, although the old eight can't be killed, there is no need to kill again, but those who dare to rebel can't be killed, of course, before that. You have to plan with the courtiers, don't you?

"Holy Lord, it has been verified that there are a total of 4,506 people involved in the rebellion, of which 18,328 are involved, and 21,221 are in custody. The three divisions were tried, and 212 people were cut by the survey office, 318 people were beheaded, 1,432 people were chopped, and 11,426 people were involved...... "In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart." Fan Shijie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, knelt down respectfully and reported the results of the trial of the three divisions one by one.

There have always been many murderers in the big case of rebellion, and there are not a few people who have lost their heads for this reason when they tried to rebel, but compared to this time, it is still much less, although the important ministers of the court have long known the truth, but listening to Fan Shijie's report, the hearts of the ministers are still cold. In addition, this is a case of rebellion, no one dares to intercede, and the big guys are silent, just listening, but they don't dare to open their mouths.

Yinzuo, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the ministers. said with a cold face: "I have always been lenient and benevolent, and it is not easy to kill, but some people do not take the road and have to kill themselves." It's really difficult for me to do, what do you think about this, you might as well talk to me about it. ”

Yinzuo's words are already cold, who doesn't know that Yinzuo's hands are spicy, what is forgiving and benevolent, it is just lip service, and it is not the first time that the minister has seen Yinzuo's hot hands, and the big guy will naturally not come forward to touch the mold at this time. Standing low and standing low, there is no one to pick up Yinzuo's words.

"What? Are you dumb? Ma Qi, you say first, how should I deal with this group of people who have no king and no father? Yinzuo squinted at Ma Qi and snorted coldly.

As soon as Ma Qi heard the first one, he pointed to himself, his whole body trembled, and he said in his heart: You say that these people are people without kings and fathers, so what else can you do but kill? But I thought it was okay to say this, but I couldn't say it. Ma Qi hurriedly fell to his knees. didn't dare to look up at Yinzuo's face, and said respectfully: "The emperor is sage." The minister has no objection, and everything is respectfully requested by the Holy Judge. ”

"Hmm. Yinzuo nodded noncommittally, and didn't ask Ma Qi to flatten his body, he tilted his head and looked at Prince Yi Yunxiang and said, "Old Thirteen, you solved this case, tell me, how should I deal with it?" ”

Yunxiang had long known that he couldn't avoid this level, but he was not flustered in his heart, as early as when he said goodbye to Wu Sidao, he had asked Wu Sidao for advice on this matter, and agreed to Wu Sidao's matter, in exchange for an answer, at this time, seeing Yinzuo's question, he was not in a hurry, and knelt down and said: "Qi Qi Shengshang, the minister thinks that Lord Fan is correct in judging the case, and the sentence is appropriate, it seems that the person who should be killed is unforgivable. ”

Uh-huh, don't you wantonly plant it? Why does this sound so awkward, is this still called wanton? Grandma, when did the thirteenth understand that he was talking back? It's really weird. Yinzuo was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old thirteen meaningfully, muttered in his heart for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "The old thirteen said it well, God has the virtue of a good life, I have always been lenient, but I don't want to kill too much, so let's do it, the queen's birthday is coming, and I can't sweep the queen's sex, everyone is guilty of a first-class punishment, and it can be regarded as praying for the queen." What does Zhu Aiqing think? ”

How is it? As soon as Yinzuo's Chrysostom opened, it was a foregone conclusion, and this sentence set the life and death of countless people.

"That's it, whether I am a saint or not is not a saint or not, it is not up to me to have the final say, that is left to future generations to comment. Yinzuo laughed self-deprecatingly, waved his hand to interrupt the sycophants of the ministers, looked at the ministers kneeling down, and said with a sudden sink: "Spread my will: Prince Lian Yunxi rebelled, gathered a crowd to plot usurpation, and should have been punished with capital punishment, but I thought of the brotherhood, and couldn't bear to be damaged by the first prince's breath, so as to avoid his death, but his capital crime could be avoided, but the crime was unforgivable, so he was beheaded, and the prince was cut off and encircled in Shengjing." ”

For the treatment of Prince Lian Yunxi, although Yinzuo has never issued a clear decree, but all the ministers present know that the eighth child can't die, and they don't think there is anything wrong with keeping them in captivity in Shengjing, to be honest, such a disposition is already extremely lenient for a rebellious person, but the problem is that the accompanying beheading is not fun - the so-called accompanying beheading, that is, the person who was ordered to accompany the beheading also had to parade through the streets in prison clothes and escorted to the execution ground, kneeling on the execution ground with the person to be executed, watching the rest of the prisoners being beheaded one by one, This is a great deal of devastating neurological effects for a normal person.

All the ministers understood what it was to accompany the beheading, and when they heard that Yinzuo actually asked the eighth child to accompany the beheading, they were all dumbfounded, and everyone looked at each other, all of them dumbfounded. For a while, no one knew what to say. Although Zhang Tingyu has always been cautious, but when he heard Yinzuo's vicious idea, he immediately sweated profusely, not that Zhang Tingyu had a good impression of Yunzuo, but that he felt that this move was detrimental to the dignity of the heavenly family. Although Yun Xi cut off the prince, he can ......"

"Hengchen doesn't have to say much, I'm not afraid of people's words, hey, the eighth man has the courage to burn my Taihe Palace, just a companion thinks that he can afford the land, this matter is so decided, and it will be an auspicious time in a few days. It's good that these things were done earlier, but when I am tired, the old thirteen and Fang Bao stayed, and you will be well on your knees. Yinzuo coldly interrupted Zhang Tingyu's words, and his tone was very cold. The ministers did not dare to say anything more, and each kowtowed and retired.

"Old Thirteen, you tell me clearly, what's going on with that hundred official file?" After the ministers have withdrawn. Yin Zuo looked at the old thirteen coldly for a while, and asked calmly.

The old thirteen had been worried about this matter for a long time, but in the past six months or so, Yinzuo has never mentioned this matter in the edict, and he has not asked about it for three days since he came back. His face turned white as soon as he brushed the ground, and he knelt on the ground sweating profusely, kowtowed and said: "Holy Lord, brother minister, brother ......" Yun Xiang was in a hurry, stammering and speechless, he asked Wu Sidao for advice on this matter, but no matter how he asked, Wu Sidao was silent. At this point. Yunxiang really didn't know what to say.

"Old Thirteen, I'm not here to ask you for responsibility. I just want to know what you think, not any sidelines. Yinzuo saw that the old thirteen was frightened, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and sighed.

"Thank you for your grace. Yun Xiang heard that Yinzuo did not intend to be accountable, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed and said: "The cause of the matter is that the younger brother has already been on the fold, and the thing is like this: after the Jiumenti inspector copied this thing, the younger brother also participated in the collegial discussion of this matter, and the ministers present at that time did not dare to take over this thing, and the younger brother ...... "Yun Xiang paused, gritted his teeth and said: "The younger brother was confused for a while and did not dare to keep this thing, and then when the eldest brother burned down this thing, the younger brother did not come forward to stop it, and the younger brother knew that he was guilty, and he did not dare to expect forgiveness from the saint, please punish the saint." ”

Hey, melon fields and plums, which one is not afraid, the old thirteen is also difficult. Yinzuo naturally understands that the hundred official files cannot be kept, no matter who is left in the hands of them, it is not appropriate, even if it is handed over to Yinzuo's own hands, it is a big trouble, and there is nothing bad about being able to deal with it like this, but there are many doubts about the whole thing, Yinzuo is not sure whether the hundred official files are ruined, but this matter involves Hongli, Yinzuo cannot be publicly investigated, so he can only make the "Honghu" secretly investigate, of course, the old thirteen Yinzuo does not plan to let go - if this thing falls into the hands of the royal family, It is equivalent to another Yunxi, how not to make Yinzuo very jealous.

"I said I didn't offend you, okay, I just ask: How did the commander of the Xizhimen named Ran Xu die?" Yinzuo waved his hand and asked expressionlessly.

Although Yinzuo's voice was not loud, it was like thunder in the ears of the old thirteen, and the old thirteen's strong body trembled, kowtowed and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, the younger brother also ordered the 'Honghu' to inquire about the news, but the 'Honghu' was too damaged in the turmoil in Beijing that day, and Sun Chengfu was always injured and could not support the overall situation, so he ..... Therefore, no reliable information has been obtained, but it is known from the autopsy report made by Shun Cheon Fu that this person had a stroke and died. ”

"Well, well, don't mention this matter to anyone, I'm tired, you kneel well. Yin Zuo nodded noncommittally and said indifferently. The old thirteen kowtowed as if he had been amnesty, withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and went straight out of the palace and went home.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think?" After Yunxiang retreated, Yinzuo was silent for a long time, suddenly smiled, looked at Fang Linggao and asked.

"What does the Holy One think?" Fang Linggao asked without answering.

Hey, how? This old party likes to play with these mysteries. Yinzuo frowned and said: "I don't think the old thirteen have anything to do with this matter, it's just ......" Yinzuo was halfway through his words, and suddenly felt that it was really difficult to say what he doubted about his eldest son, so he had to stop, staring at Fang Linggao with a pair of eyes.

Fang Linggao is a wise man with a few places, how could he not hear the meaning of Yinzuo's words, although he is not easy to say clearly, but this little thing is not difficult for him, Fang Linggao smiled and said: "Saint, look at his words and deeds, and see people's hearts over time." ”

"Oh? Well, let's take a look at it, although I want to be a loving father, I have to be fulfilled by others, just wait and see. Yinzuo thought silently for a while, but didn't come up with a good way, so he had to laugh self-deprecatingly and said: "Forget it, this matter will be discussed later, I don't want to stay here today for this bullshit Baiguan file, I plan to take care of the Eight Banners, hey, a bunch of dog minions, so bold, I treat them well, this damn slave dares to hook up with the old eight behind my back, hey, the knife in my hand is not good?" ”

If Yinzuo wants to change, he must move the Eight Banners, and if he wants to move the Eight Banners, he must first move the Eight Banners, Fang Linggao has long known this, of course, Fang Linggao knows better that the Eight Banners are not easy to move, and the hereditary commanders of those sons are not very capable, but because of the relationship between the ancestors, these guys are deeply rooted in the Eight Banners, and their forces are intertwined, and it is not so easy to clear the ground. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Is there any evidence of collusion between the Lords and the Eighth Master in the hands of the Holy Master?" ”

"No, I'm just hearsay, hey, those old slippery heads, slippery, no evidence for me to hold. Yinzuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Oh. Fang Linggao nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Holy Lord, there is someone who can take advantage of it, but it might as well be like this...... Luckily? ”
