Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 629 The First Big Case
Later, the Long Live Lord invited Xie Gong and Fan Gong into the palace. The three of them locked up and talked for a day, and then they came out of the palace. , Let Xie Gong and Fan Gong give up admonishing this matter.

When Zhao Zhong framed Concubine De to attack General Xu, Xie Gong was not in Beijing.

It has been more than half a year since Mr. Xie went out to Beijing to inspect the collection of taxes in various places. When the Mid-Autumn Festival Long live God announced that the beauty of the harem Lianmei was pregnant with the emperor's heir, Mr. Xie was far away in the important town of Jiangnan's granary.

Knowing that something happened to the emperor's heir, Xie Gong even rushed back overnight. Today, he stepped into the capital and heard the ins and outs of the murder of the emperor's heir. Before returning home, he went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. He personally brought Zhao Zhong back, he was tough and brave.

Such a person wants to take the blame and resign because of a scum like Zhao Zhong, how can he not shake the heart of the Ministry of Justice?
This is a major event that shakes the court!
The emperor heaved a long sigh, got up and got off the throne, walked up to Mr. Xie, and helped him up himself: "What is wrong with Mr. Xie? Since Zhao Zhong entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has done nothing wrong. If it hadn't been exposed today, who would have known that he was hiding traitors in his heart? Even the famous official Wei Gong sometimes didn't notice."

Lifting the man up, the emperor continued: "Mr. Xie has devoted himself to the government for the past few years, and he has worked hard. Now that the government has such a scene, half of it should be attributed to Mr. Xie. It is the loss of the dynasty, but also the loss of the world."

Xie Qing wanted to say something.

The emperor raised his hand and interrupted: "Mr. Xie blamed Zhao Zhong's fault on his ignorance. If you look at it this way, is it not my ignorance? It is the Zhu criticism of my fall, and it is my fall to allow Zhao Zhong to enter the court as an official. Zhu Pi, who allowed him to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is it possible that Mr. Xie will also punish me for my crime?"

Xie Qing was in a hurry: "I don't dare, how can this be counted, different departments in the court work differently, and I have the responsibility of picketing, I, I..."

He couldn't go on talking, according to his reasoning, he couldn't get around the emperor.

The emperor smiled slightly and said: "It is Mr. Xie who must guard the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so don't resign. If Mr. Xie feels uneasy and wants to be punished, then quit smoking and do it."

Xie Qing said "Ah", and his face instantly became bitter.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice gloated at his misfortune, and said with a smile: "Long Live Lord, Xie Gong regards the pipe as his life. There is a saying that the pipe is there when the person is there, and the pipe must be there when the person is not. This is the life of Xie Gong."

The atmosphere in the Hall of Stars relaxed, and the rest of the people laughed, only Mr. Xie, thanking him with a sad face, with a look of gratitude and heartache.

After laughing, the emperor said sternly: "I am not a bloodthirsty person. Zhao Zhong murdered the emperor's heir and framed the concubine. Such heinous crimes should not be disturbed lightly. All the relevant people will be arrested and brought to justice. Let’s be loyal to the three tribes of barbarians.”

A hammer!
"Long live Lord Shengming."

"Long live God is the king of benevolence and righteousness."

The crowd dispersed.

The emperor then sent a message to Zhongshu Sheren, saying: "This time, Zhao Zhong's heinous crimes have been proven, thanks to Xue Aiqing, who drafted the decree for me. Xue Aiqing has exposed meritorious service, and named Zhongyi Bo as a reward. Go quickly."

"Yes." Zhongshu Sheren led the order to retreat.

Finally, after dealing with today's matter, the emperor turned over a memorial, but before he started to read it, a young eunuch in the palace came to report:
"Long live Lord, Mr. Xie is still outside, saying that he will ask to see you after he has finished dealing with important matters."

The emperor smiled wryly, what should come will still come, he was already prepared.

"Xuan."

"Yes."

Xie Qing came over with a serious face, immediately saluted and confessed, and then said: "Long Live Lord, on the way back to Beijing, I also heard something about the case of the Guo family selling illegal salt, which made the Department of Internal Security work. I thought..."

Sure enough, just as the emperor thought.

With Mr. Xie's keenness, he would not think that the matter of the Guo family was that simple. He immediately thought that if Mr. Xie heard about it when he returned to the court, he would definitely ask.

He quietly listened to the explanation of the people below, and when Mr. Xie finished speaking, he swung back to the left and right, leaving only two people in the hall...

Outside the Hall of Stars, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice returned to the Ministry of Justice and ordered all parties to attack quickly to arrest many accomplices headed by Zhao Zhong. Those who conspired with Zhao Zhong in the court to attack the Xu family's father and daughter were not missed, and they were arrested one by one. He was interrogated in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

A war against the power of the aristocratic families dormant in the court quickly broke out.

During the interrogation of the person who was arrested and brought to justice, other cases were actually tried, and many evidences such as disregarding human life, corruption and perverting the law were found. Shocked.

At the same time, because of Xue Ping, a huge rift formed among the families, the balance originally formed by interests was completely broken, and they began to be suspicious and bite each other.

Since then, the case of "Zhao Zhong's murder of the emperor's heir" has become the biggest case in recent years, involving a wide range of subjects.

It is also to blame that during the period of the first emperor, the aristocratic families were too unscrupulous, stretched their hands too far in the court, controlled the government, and used their influence in the court to make many improper benefits.

The emperor forbears it for many years, and only let the internal guards silently collect the evidence, and only now has he started to throw out Qiuhou's accounts one by one, including Xue Ping, to disintegrate the alliance of aristocratic families from within!

After this battle, the influence of the aristocratic clans in the DPRK declined sharply. Although there were still remnants of the party, they were no longer in power.

There were many vacancies in the court, and the emperor quickly filled them up, truly consolidating the imperial power.

Hundreds of years later, according to historical records, the case of "Zhao Zhong's murder of the emperor's heir" unintentionally sparked a great battle. It was the most beautiful battle won by the imperial power and the aristocratic families for thousands of years. Criticized and exposed, Yu Chizhao took advantage of the situation and weakened the family members one by one.

Afterwards, during Yu Chizhao's reign, the aristocratic families no longer had the power to override the government. Until the middle and late stages of Yu Chizhao's reign, the people's literacy gradually became popular.

According to unofficial records, the case of "Zhao Zhong's murder of the emperor's heir" was not accidental, but Yu Chizhao had been preparing for it since he was the prince. However, it is not the Ministry of Punishments that plays the biggest role here, but the Department of Internal Security hidden under the water. Those criminal evidences were collected by the Department of Internal Security for many years and provided to the Ministry of Punishment.

There are also people who refute the nonsense of unofficial history, that tiger poison does not eat its offspring, Yu Chizhao is a wise emperor through the ages, and he has a deep affection for Empress Shengde Lian, so how could he be willing to use Empress Shengde's heir to arrange such a thing, and so on.

Hundreds of years later, the truth has been obliterated in history, and there is no way to know it, but future generations can feel the magnificent tactics and emperor's art of that era.

These are all later stories.
