Chapter 473 Chapter 474: Send it to Heqin!
The emperor opened the folds submitted by Bai Yutang one by one, which recorded in detail the history of King Ning and Tuoba Jin, who embezzled military salaries, smuggled and sold salt, and bought and sold people's hearts, embezzled silver and tens of millions of gold, including bribes between courtiers.
Each of the above accounts involves everyone in great detail, and several powerful ministers in the DPRK and China are also involved......
Under the court, people are panicked.
The emperor laughed angrily, and clenched his fists tightly: "What is the difference between such an act and seeking power and usurping the throne?" ”
"My good son, you are looking forward to my early death, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the court knelt down: "The emperor is angry......"
King Ning's voice trembled lightly, "It's all perjury...... This king does not recognize ......"
Bai Yutang said: "Don't worry, since King Ning doesn't admit it, Weichen has other evidence!" ”
Bai Yutang unhurriedly took out a holy decree from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "This is the holy decree tampered with by King Ning, and I ask the emperor to take a look!" ”
The eunuch beside him hurriedly walked down the steps to pick it up, and handed it over to the emperor tremblingly.
King Ning's heart was already in a mess, but he still quibbled: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" This decree is clearly planted by you for this king! ”
Bai Yutang's face did not change: "King Ning, don't worry, since Ben Fu dares to come up with this evidence, there is naturally someone to prove it!" The person who falsely reported the holy decree has been caught by Bensuke, and is now locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, strictly guarded. Even if someone wants to kill them, they can't find a chance to do it! ”
Hearing this, King Ning's face was full of shock, and the whole person staggered back a few steps, and muttered in his mouth: "What...... How could it be ......"
He has obviously killed people, how could he fall into the hands of Bai Yutang?
Bai Yutang seemed to guess his thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "You must have thought that this person had already been killed by the killer you sent, right?" It's a pity that you didn't expect that the person who falsely delivered the holy decree for you had already had foresight! Therefore, he took the initiative to find Bensuke, as long as Bensuke saved his life, he was willing to give everything! ”
King Ning was still quibbling: "You...... You are spewing blood, this king can't understand what you're talking about......"
Bai Yutang said: "It's okay if you don't understand!" In addition to this witness, there are also shopkeepers who have privately engraved seals, and these people have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Qi Ming was late, and he was holding a box in his hand.
Qi Ming walked straight to the center of the main hall, presented the box in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the fake jade seal that the lower officials searched for in King Ning's mansion, and please ask the emperor to take a look!" ”
The eunuch took the jade seal and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took the jade seal in his hand and observed it carefully, and the degree of realism was no different from the real jade seal!
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He smashed the fake jade seal in front of King Ning, and said coldly: "Embezzle military salaries, smuggle and sell salt, and take bribes!" Privately carved jade seal, fake holy decree! ”
"Pile by pile, King Ning, you are really bold!"
Now, the human and material evidence is conclusive, and King Ning no longer has room for quibble.
The emperor endured the monstrous anger, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Drag it down...... Five horses divide the corpses, Ning Wangfu, and behead ...... all over the house"
King Ning's face turned pale, he knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor on the high platform: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......
"Everything has nothing to do with Wechen, everything is done by His Highness instructed Wechen......"
So without admitting himself, the emperor only felt physically and mentally exhausted, he stroked his forehead, and immediately ordered the abolition of Tuoba Jin's status as the prince and demoted him to a concubine! Expulsion from the palace!
Tuoba Jin's biological mother, Concubine De, was also implicated because of this, and was abolished by the emperor as a concubine, and was sent to the cold palace for life!
This matter is widely implicated, involving countless party members in the court, and the emperor has taken a bold step to punish all the ministers involved in the case!
It's cheap, wait and see, and the third prince Tuoba Yu, who watched the fire from the other side, picked up a prince for nothing.
However, although the opposition party in the DPRK and China has been eradicated, the pace of Xiling people's aggression has become more and more rapid.
Now, the life and death of Yebeicheng, who was seriously injured, was uncertain, and the Xiling people took the lead and successively attacked several cities in the Great Song Dynasty. Due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, the 30,000 soldiers led by Ye Beicheng were killed and wounded, and only a few thousand people were still resisting stubbornly......
A succession of war reports were sent to the emperor, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and could not return to his senses for a long time.
If this continues, the Great Song Dynasty will perish!
But at this time, Xiling suddenly stopped fighting.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Xiling sent envoys to pass the word, threatening that as long as the princess of the Great Song Dynasty was married to Xiling and relatives, and the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to give ten cities in Xiling as a dowry, Xiling would reach an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and no longer kill the Great Song Dynasty!
This is clearly to ask the Great Song Dynasty to take the initiative to surrender and completely surrender to Xiling!
And so it goes! It's just too deceitful!
But the current situation does not allow them to refuse.
After all, sacrificing one princess is better than sacrificing the lives of tens of millions!
What's more, Da Song urgently needs a chance to catch his breath now!
The emperor sat on the dragon chair dejectedly and said to the ministers: "In this situation, what do you think of the Aiqing?" ”
Qi Ming was the first to object: "No!" Xiling people are untrustworthy and cunning, even if they marry the princess, it is not a long-term solution! Sooner or later, they will break their promises again and raise their troops again! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Ming finished speaking, he was opposed by many ministers.
"If you don't follow Xiling's wishes at this moment, the people of Xiling will definitely immediately break through the city gate and approach the imperial city, and at that time, all of us will die! Please also ask the emperor to marry the princess to Xiling, at least to stabilize the Xiling people first! ”
The ministers seconded: "Please also ask the emperor to marry the princess to Xiling." ”
The emperor was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
He loves Huiyi very much, where is he willing to send her into the tiger's mouth!
But if she is not sacrificed, the Great Song Dynasty will not be protected, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be slaughtered......
Qi Mingli disagreed: "Please also ask the emperor to think twice!" You can't send the princess to Xiling! The people of Xiling are brutal and bloodthirsty, if you send the princess over, you will undoubtedly send her to death! ”
The ministers said: "If you sacrifice the princess and save thousands of people, why not?" ”
"The princess is a royal person, and she should take on the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country! If not, where can the princess afford the love and respect of the people? ”
Qi Ming gritted his teeth and said, "So, in your eyes, was the princess born to die for you?" ”
"You have a mouthful of benevolence and morality, and save the people, why don't you send your daughters to Xiling together?"
"The lord of Xiling loves women, so why don't you send your daughters over together!"
Hearing this, the ministers were silent and couldn't say a word.
Qi Ming sneered: "What? Do you know it hurts when the whip hits you? You are greedy for life and afraid of death! At the moment of the great enemy, he is delusional to use a weak woman to quell the war! Ignorance! It's ridiculous! ”
The ministers bowed their heads in shame.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly said: "Spread my will!" As long as Xiling keeps his promise, I am willing to send Princess Huiyi to Xiling and her ......."
