Chapter 173: A Gift to the Regent
As soon as Qin Shuhuang's words came out, Du Shangshu, who was standing at the forefront of the civil official team, had weak legs and stared at Qin Shuhuang with tears in his eyes.
How could the eldest princess find out about the dam, and how did she know that the matter of the dam was related to him? How could they find those who believed!
He was obviously very careful, and he told He Cong a thousand times!
The two brothers and sisters of the He family are really stupid and stupid as pigs! He must kill them to vent his anger when he goes back!
The regent's eyebrows twisted fiercely, and his eyes swept towards Du Shangshu, if his eyes could kill, Du Shangshu was afraid that he had been cut by a thousand knives.
The ministers looked at Du Shangshu in disbelief, and then couldn't help but set their eyes on the regent.
The entire court knows that Du Shangshu is the regent's person, and he is his right and left hand, if the destruction of the dam is really done by Du Shangshu, then the regent really doesn't know? I'm afraid it's more likely that this matter was ordered by the regent to be done by Du Shangshu!
The hearts of many officials trembled.
Is such a selfish, selfish, self-serving, self-serving regent really good for Dawu?
If the regent is really allowed to stay in power, I am afraid that this century-old country will be destroyed in the hands of the regent!
The hearts of the ministers, who had always been neutral or had been biased towards the regent, were suddenly shaken.
The little eunuch did not present the lacquer plate directly to the regent, but first walked to the top Qin Shumin, Xiao Rang came over a few steps, took a few letters and presented them to Qin Shumin, and then glanced at the little eunuch, and the little eunuch brought the remaining secret letter to Qin Wei.
When Qin Wei's vicious gaze looked at the little eunuch who presented the evidence, the little eunuch's body shook in fright.
In the past, in the court, no matter what he did, even Qin Shumin was here to put him first, but today this little eunuch has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?
Qin Wei became more and more displeased.
He hurriedly took the rest of the letter from the lacquer plate, opened it quickly, and looked at it at a glance, it was really Du Haomiao's handwriting!
Not only is it handwritten, but Du Haomiao's private seal is also stamped on the letterhead! This Du idiot!
Over there, Qin Shumin also opened the letter and read it.
Several letters, if only the regent had read them, he would have had a way to withhold them, destroy them, and blatantly say that the evidence was fake, but now these people are two people who have read them! He didn't even have the opportunity to help Du Haomiao hide his quibbles!
All the ministers are waiting, but seeing the regent's expression, the eldest princess is right.
After a while, Qin Shuhuang said, "May I ask the emperor and the regent, are these letters true?" It may prove that Du Shangshu destroyed the embankment privately? ”
Without waiting for the regent to speak, Xiao Rang took a step forward and raised his voice: "The emperor has read the letter, these are indeed written by Du Shangshu himself!" ”
After Xiao Rang finished speaking, he followed Qin Shumin's meaning and asked people to bring the letter to the ministers and let the ministers circulate it.
The letter was soon passed to the ministers, and the face of the regent, who had been preempted, became even more gloomy.
Whether the ministers are on official business or in life, they have correspondence on weekdays and know each other's handwriting.
Soon, familiar ministers recognized that this was indeed Du Shangshu's handwriting, not to mention that there was a private seal.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu immediately came out and said: "Weichen testified that the letter was indeed Du Shangshu's handwriting. ”
Generally speaking, if the rebuilt dam is damaged within three years, it is cutting corners, and the people of the Ministry of Engineering will be held accountable.
Now these two dams are broken within a year, and if Du Shangshu's matter is not confirmed today, then it will be the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who will be held accountable.
The Ministry of Industry is not clean, and it must have been greedy when repairing the dam, but the situation should not be so serious, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was empty, so he rushed out to testify and press Du Shangshu's guilt to death!
Qin Shuhuang sneered in his heart, but today is not the time to clean up the Ministry of Works, this person should be kept for the imperial brother to deal with in the future.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu took the lead to testify, and other officials who read the letter immediately came out to testify and echo it.
When Du Haomiao saw this situation, he saw the cold eyes of the regent again, his face turned pale in an instant, his legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground, and he couldn't even say words begging for mercy.
He knew that he was completely finished today......
As more and more ministers came forward to testify, the regent had to say even if he was reluctant to speak.
He looked coldly at Qin Shuhuang, who "wielded a knife", for the sake of his reputation, he could only personally "cut off one arm", "Du Haomiao, the secretary of the ministry, destroyed the dam and harmed the people, leaving tens of thousands of people in Dawu homeless, his wife and wife separated, the crime is unforgivable, and now the evidence is conclusive, punish the nine clans!" ”
Since Du Haomiao can't keep it anymore, let's quickly cut through the mess and eradicate it!
transferred all the hatred of the people to Du Haomiao, and cut off all the connections between Du Haomiao and him in an instant!
As soon as the regent's cruel words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, even Qin Shuhuang was no exception.
Although Du Haomiao is hateful, he will not be sentenced to the Nine Clans!
Since the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty, only the crime of treason will be punished by the nine clans, and the heinous crimes will only be punished by the three clans.
Qin Shuhuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, I am afraid that Qin Wei wants to solve the problem quickly and leave no trouble!
Although Qin Shuhuang wanted to interfere with the decision of the regent Zhu Jiu clan, she did not have this power now, if she spoke for Du Haomiao at this time, it would make people think a lot.
Although the courtiers wanted to persuade a few words, at this juncture, it was really not worth speaking for someone like Du Haomiao.
So for a while, no one stood up to speak for Du Haomiao.
Du Haomiao stared at the regent who had been loyal for more than ten years in shock, and finally he cried and begged with his head: "Ask the regent to be merciful, ask the regent to be merciful!" It's not a pity for Weichen to die, but beg the regent to spare Weichen's children and grandchildren, they are still young and don't know anything, they are innocent! ”
Seeing that the regent was unmoved, Du Haomiao gritted his teeth, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Regent!" Wechen has done so many things for you, Wechen has nothing else to ask for, only ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was covered by two strong eunuchs who suddenly appeared and forcibly led him out of the main hall.
The two eunuchs didn't know what means they used, and Du Haomiao, who was struggling extremely fiercely just now, was paralyzed after a while, and his eyes became dull.
The ministers who saw this scene were shocked in their hearts.
At the same time, this scene was buried like a thorn in the hearts of the ministers standing on the side of the regent, making them feel like a fish in their throats.
A Shangshu was directly taken down in the court, and it was such a cruel punishment to the Jiu clan, and the ministers no longer had the heart to go to the court.
Qin Shuhuang's goal has also been achieved, and after the emperor and the regent announced the dissolution of the dynasty, the ministers left quickly.
Before leaving, the regent glanced at Qin Shuhuang deeply, and there was anger, warning, and threat hidden in that eye.
Qin Shuhuang smiled faintly at the regent, and even bowed half-squatting in the direction of the regent.
I don't know what she gave today, and the regent is not satisfied.
The regent flicked his sleeves and left quickly.
Waiting for the ministers to leave the main hall, Liu Renci, who was dressed in official uniform, walked over, "Your Highness is a little reckless today." ”
