Chapter VIII: The Yingyue Case is Concluded
Two days later, in the early morning, the morning meeting was held as usual.
During the reign of Yingzheng, if there was no special matter, the court meeting was held every day, and after my status changed to the crown prince, I also had to participate in the court meeting every day.
After Ying Zheng and the ministers sat down, Li Si took the lead in speaking: "Emperor, the Ying Yue case has now been clarified. โ
"Play!" Ying Zheng's tone was calm. He already knew about Yingyue's affairs through the sentence, otherwise he would not have made a direct attack at the court.
"Yes." Li Siying said: "The ministers, together with the imperial historian Feng Zai, Zong Zheng Yingwu, and Tingwei Meng Yi, have carefully tried the Yingyue case, and it has now been ascertained:
In the 32nd year of the First Emperor, the criminal minister Yingyue was ordered to receive the remnants of Chu and placed them in the Xianyang Forbidden Garden.
The sin girl Jie was the daughter of Li Yuan, the minister of Chu, and was later given the title of Concubine by Li Yuan and the King of Chu, because Li Yuan's sister Yu (Yuรจ) had been the queen of Xiong Yuan, the king of Chu Kaolie, Li Yuan was afraid of the big wind, so he named his maid as the daughter of the folk Ling Xian and the King of Chu.
Because it was rumored that she was pregnant before entering the palace, Chu Chen suspected that the king of Chu was not the son of Xiong Yuan, so he killed Li Yuan and Yu, and no one knew the true identity of the guilty maiden.
After the state of Chu was destroyed, Jie escaped from the palace of the king of Chu, until the 32nd year of the first emperor was captured by the Changsha county shou Fengzhe, and then sent to Xianyang to hand over to Yingyue.
The evidence in this case was confirmed by Jie's confession, Changsha County Shou, Chu Jiuchen and other relevant persons. 27 people were involved in this case;
The criminal minister Yingyue was attracted by Jie's appearance when he received the sin girl, and since then he has been in contact with Jie and fornication.
Until the 36th year of the first emperor, the construction progress of Afang Palace was slow, and the emperor ordered an additional 100,000 people to be sent to Afang Palace to hand over to the criminal minister Li Zhuo, and ordered Neishi County to be sent nearby, of which the remnants of the six countries accounted for more than half.
Jie asked Ying Yue to reduce the number of forced labor of the remnants of Chu through a personal relationship with Ying Yue, and Ying Yue made Zhi faint and agreed to Jie's request.
The evidence in this case was confirmed by the confessions of Ying Yue and Jie, Zhao Jin in the Xianyang Forbidden Yuan Langzhong, and Shang Shufu's shooting. 134 people were involved in this case;
Subsequently, the criminal minister Ying Yue conspired with the criminal minister Li Zhuo to tamper with the roster and postpone the conscription with ten gold and five hundred. The evidence in this case was confirmed by the confessions of Ying Yue and Li Zhuo, the two subordinates of the criminals, and other relevant persons. 147 people were involved in this case;
In addition, it was verified by the minister that the intention of reducing the request for forced labor was not the intention of the female Jie, who was instructed by the Hui Ji Chu people, because the Chu people and Jie only transmitted the news through the paid forbidden garden soldiers, and the Chu people and the soldiers did not pass the news through meeting, so the clues were interrupted and the identity of the Chu people could not be verified.
The evidence in this case was verified and corrected through the confessions of several people from Jie and the Forbidden Garden. In this case, 16 people were involved.
The emperor, the minister was incompetent, failed to verify the identity of the Chu people, and asked the emperor to surrender the crime. โ
After Li Si finished speaking, he bowed his head and waited for Yingzheng to reply, but he was greeted only by the silence in the hall.
At this time, I don't know how other ministers feel, but Li Si and I feel the same way.
", this princess of Chu was pregnant before she entered the palace, I think there were rumors that Zhao Ji, that is, Yingzheng's mother, was pregnant with Lu Buwei's child before entering the palace...... I couldn't help but jump in shock, and faintly worried about these people: 'In addition, I didn't catch the mastermind behind it, and so many people were involved in bribery and favoritism, I'm afraid I have to die......
At this time, I didn't realize how big the impact of this incident had on Ying Zheng, after all, in my opinion, although Zhao Ji had something to do with Chang Yu, but Lu Buwei's matter was a rumor after all, no one had confirmed it, and it was impossible to find out the truth of the matter.
Li Si was also nervous in his heart. This case is not complicated, but it is just that the man did not withstand the temptation of the woman, and the woman had the old man in his heart, and joined forces to tamper with the list of conscripts.
It's nothing new for the remnants of the Six Nations to jump out from time to time, hasn't Zhang Liang, who blatantly attacked Yingzheng, still haven't been caught?
But it's not easy to check the identity of this woman, if it's just a concubine, the concubines of the six countries locked up in the Xianyang Forbidden Garden are enough to live in several villages, but I didn't expect that she actually designed to kill the daughter of Li You, Chunshenjun and Huang Xie.
Then you have to explain why no one knows her true identity, why did Li You survive after being beheaded all over the house? Because she's got a makeover.
Then why did Li You want her to be incognito, because Li You killed Chunshenjun Huang Xie, and many people in Chuchen were dissatisfied with him and were afraid of making a big move.
What is there to be a big deal about being a concubine? This has to involve his sister, because his sister is the princess of King Chu Kaolie and the mother of King Chu, so why did Li You and his sister be killed and Jie hid to this day......
Li Si didn't have the idea of pinching off this paragraph, after all, why Li You's sister was killed had no direct impact on this case, but he didn't dare, first, Feng Zai and Meng Yi also participated in the trial, and second, according to the "Qin Law", every sentence in the trial process was specially recorded.
In the future, no matter if someone reports to Ying Zheng, or one day Ying Zheng himself discovers that with Ying Zheng's suspicious character, he may suspect that he is also colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, which is really indefensible, and there is no need to doubt Ying Zheng's attitude in this matter.
Just when Li Si felt that the storm was about to pour down, Ying Zheng still spoke in a calm tone: "It's okay, the Chu people are cunning and reasonable." โ
Li Si raised his head in astonishment and stared at Ying Zheng's waist, accustomed to making him dare not look at Ying Zheng directly, and immediately resumed his salute: "Thank you Emperor forgiveness." The source of Yingyue's bribe Li Zhuo has been ascertained by Zongzheng, and there are 9 guilty people. This case implicates 333 people, how to deal with it, please ask the emperor to indicate. โ
"Qin Law" naturally has a law to follow for this kind of crime, but if it is really judged according to the law, I am afraid that few of these more than 300 people will survive.
Although more than 400 monks were indirectly killed because of Li Si's words, after all, Li Si only proposed "burning books", not directly proposing "pit Confucianism", so the psychological pressure is not so great, and most of those people are abducted and abducted, how can they be compared with most of the officials and soldiers involved in this case.
Ying Zheng didn't say much, waved his hand and said, "Judge according to the law." โ
Everyone is nervous, more than 300 people, the water of the Wei River is about to be dyed red again......
However, since Chun Yuyue was killed, Fusu and the current crown prince are said to have changed their temperament greatly, and no one dares to intercede for them anymore......
At this time, I didn't know what to say, I thought that if it was the Fusu in history, he would definitely stand up and ask Yingzheng to forgive them, even if it was a small number of people. But I didn't open my mouth.
Afraid? In the face of the emperors of the feudal era, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. Indifferent? Sort of, maybe I'm still thinking of myself as an out-of-game spectator......
There were still people talking in the back, and I couldn't hear what they said clearly, but I only roughly heard that Yingwu's son Yingji took over Neishi, and even Yingzheng frowned and looked at me without noticing, and I didn't return to the Taigong until the end of the court.
What I don't know is that after Ying Zheng returned to the Four Seas Palace, he pulled out the Lulu sword and cut a low table into sawdust, except for the sound of his chopping, he was accompanied only by the silent Xing Zhong who stood at the door......
