Chapter 669 Impossible to punish lightly (2)
On the eve of King Duan’s return to Beijing, something big happened in the capital.
The Ministry of Justice inspected the assassination of the imperial concubine at the bonfire event and could not find any movement.
I thought that Lord Ye Qinye had been delayed on the road and had not entered Beijing for a long time. Unexpectedly, Ye Qin was extremely cunning. He had already concealed his identity and entered the capital early on. It seemed that he was traveling in the capital, but in fact he had already begun to investigate the matter from multiple sources.
When the Ministry of Justice and others did not react, Ye Qin had collected enough evidence and went directly to the imperial city to meet the emperor.
The Northern Qi thieves entered the capital but had hidden information. The person who helped arrange the lion taming circus was He Chunjun, the Minister of Personnel.
It would be fine, but I never expected that it was not only the emperor and the imperial concubine who went to see the lion taming that day, but King Huai was also present. The matter was involved. Ye Qin entered the palace and presented the evidence he had found in the capital for the past half month.
"The emperor cut off He Chunjun's head on the spot, and he didn't even leave a chance to give people pleading..."
"I heard that the garrison of the capital, Zhuo Zhicheng, had gathered with the Minister of Personnel to drink earlier, and they all asked the emperor to call him into the palace and scold him and reward him with a board."
"The charge of colluding with the Gentiles is not just a joke. The emperor asked Lord Ye Qinye to investigate for several days and verify that He Chunjun had had an intersection with Prince Yining, which was completely confirmed."
Chunyu looked down slightly at the lying concubine and said, "Empress, you said, He Chunjun really dares to collude with the enemy and treason?"
Gu Jingsi closed her eyes and rested, listened to Chunyu's words and said, "The emperor said it is true, so it is naturally true."
She raised her eyes and asked, "Where is King Huai? What is the Emperor's handling this?"
"King Huai was also punished, but the one who was punished was the servants in the palace..." Chunyu said with a strange expression: "King Huai sneaked out of the palace, it must be that the servants in the palace were not guarding..."
"The guard is not good?" Gu Jingsi immediately smiled when she heard this.
It was already the limit that Ye Qin could find out that King Huai was also present.
King Huai has always been careful in his actions, so how could he reveal his traces?
This matter is related to Gu Yurou. According to his personality, King Huai will not be able to let Gu Yurou fall into danger. This incident may have nothing to do with him.
But the emperor would not think so. He sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the night and three servants in the Huai Palace were beaten to death. Isn’t this a warning to Jin Yiyu?
The Minister of Personnel dared to do such a collusion with the Gentiles, which must have been beneficial. Only after the letters found by scouting the house and asking for help, he found out that He Chunjun had an illegitimate daughter outside. He fell in love with Prince Yining and followed him to Northern Qi, becoming Prince Yining's concubine.
He Chunjun's letters were all about his own daughter, so the arrangement of the lion taming was naturally the prayers in the letter.
Judging from the letters, it is good for He Chunjun to love this daughter, but fortunately, he did not reveal the military situation in the imperial city and still had the heart to be a minister.
But committing a serious crime is a practical matter, and the emperor cannot punish it lightly.
"Or how much you say you can have a daughter."
"Otherwise, it will be caused not only by the death of the body, but also by the destruction of the family."
In the courtyard, Concubine Shu gathered together to discuss the matter, and her words were filled with sighs.
Concubine Hua peeled the orange and smiled, "I remember that the Minister of Personnel has an eldest daughter in the family. She just promised a good marriage a few months ago and was waiting for the beginning of next spring."
"Now, the marriage is blown up, tsk..." Concubine Hua sighed and shook her head.
