Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 109 (22) The Crown Prince Named by Shangzi (Part [-])
【Lian Shang's beloved son is in pain, Xuan Ye makes an exception and bestows his son's name;】

[The case of the prince of the former dynasty was finally settled, and it was reported to the general army in the suburbs of Beijing to rebel. 】

When Tu Hai entered the palace, Xuan Ye had already recovered his calm face. What is an emperor?The look that the emperor should have without changing his face when the mountain collapses on the top, because you are the emperor, only when you are calm, the courtiers will feel at ease, if you are going to panic, the courtiers will be more panicked than you, Xuan Ye thought bitterly .

"Chen Tuhai kowtowed to the emperor." Tuhai was summoned early, but he didn't know why.

"Tuhai, how is the arrest of the third prince Zhu going?" Xuan Ye asked in a low voice.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers are going to report this matter this morning. The case of the third prince Zhu involves more than [-] rebels and their relatives." Seeing the emperor asking about the case, Tu Hai hurriedly replied.

"Except for relatives, how many people are directly involved in the rebellion? How does the Ministry of Punishments judge these people?" Xuan Ye asked after thinking about it.

"My Majesty, there are 208 people who directly participated in the rebellion. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, they were punished as the crime of rebellion. They should be sentenced to death by Ling Chi, and their relatives should be punished for this crime. The relatives are from grandfather to father and son. , grandchildren, brothers and cohabitants, regardless of surname, and sons of uncles and brothers, all males over 16 years old shall be punished by beheading; males under 15 years old, as well as the offender's mother, daughter, wives, concubines, sisters and property shall all be included in the income Officer." Tu Hai lowered his head and said.

"According to what you and others have discussed, nearly a thousand people will be executed in the Third Prince Zhu case?" Xuan Ye said, looking at Tu Hai.

"I report to the emperor, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it should be so." Tu Hai didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Has the Third Prince of Zhu Yang Qilong not been captured yet?" Xuan Ye lowered his head and pondered.

"Report to the emperor, the minister is incompetent." Tu Hai hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said.

"Get up, I didn't blame you." Xuan Ye continued to ask: "Can you find out that this person is indeed the former prince?"

"This... Your Majesty, I dare not make a decision. After all, the former dynasty has been destroyed for a long time. If this person is not caught, it will be difficult to determine whether he is really the former prince." Tu Hai stood up and said hesitantly.

Xuan Ye pondered for a long time and raised his head and said: "Tuhai, the case of the third prince Zhu has caused panic in the capital. This time more than [-] people have been arrested. What will the people in the capital think? They will think that the court is afraid. My will is to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. This turmoil in the capital was caused by Yang Qilong, an unemployed vagabond, under the guise of the former crown prince, to instigate the people of the capital for personal gain. I think these people also listened to the agitation and were bewitched by the thieves, so they were given lighter punishments. Of all the rebels who participated in the rebellion this time, only the leader was sentenced to death by Ling Chi. Let them go home and live in peace, and don't be fooled by any thieves anymore."

"Your majesty is holy!" Seeing Xuan Ye saying that, Tu Hai clapped his hands and said.

"At this time, it's better to have fewer common people who hold grudges against the court." Xuan Ye stared at Tu Hai and said in a low voice. "Remember, you must spread the word, after investigation, Yang Qilong is not the prince of the previous dynasty, but a thief who caused chaos."

"I understand, the emperor can rest assured." Tu Hai really admired the emperor's thoughtfulness.

"Okay, you go down, hurry up and tell the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't bring up this matter again in the early court, some rioters and thieves are making trouble, it's not a big deal." Xuan Ye nodded and said.

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning!" Tu Hai took the order and went down.
