Chapter 254 : The Queen's Extermination! Ao Yu's power has skyrocketed!(2/3)
The two imperial envoys Wang Zhuo and Yu Zheng also returned to Beijing.
Lord Yu Zheng, a lunatic, originally, would not have been injured, and his assassination was just a surprise. As a result, he pierced his stomach for the sake of reality.
If Yuan Tianxie had not had the unparalleled sword skills, Lord Yu Zheng would have died now.
If Yun Zhonghe's suture surgery had not been circulated in this world, and with some penicillin remaining, Lord Yu Zheng would have died for a lifetime.
Lord Zheng is so cruel to himself. Now that he has been cultivating for more than half a month, he still can't go to the ground.
After reading some of these evidences, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor stopped reading them. He waved his hand and asked the Black Ice Platform to move all the evidence away.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor seemed very calm, as if he was extremely disappointed.
"Wang Zhuo, didn't you say that the truth of this case has been revealed? Didn't you say that Ao Ting was the mastermind?" said the Supreme Emperor: "Why are these accounts clearly stated that Ao Ting just borrowed five sea boats from Taikang Marquis? In the end, he received 100,000 taels of silver, a total of 1.3 million taels of corruption cases. Ao Ting took 100,000 taels, and the remaining people added up to less than 100,000 taels, and Taikang Marquis got 1.1 million taels by himself. Why did it become Ao Ting the mastermind, and the father-in-law Taikang Marquis was innocent, but were just some of the family's incompetent sons and nephews involved in the case?"
Wang Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, knelt on the ground and shivered, and complained wildly inside.
Can I blame this? The prime ministers on my head and the queen above desperately urge me to close the case. And I kept saying that the evidence had been destroyed and it was absolutely innocent. The smuggling fleet that Zhou Li captured at sea had also burned in flames.
Who would have known that Zhou Li digged the tiger away from the mountain and attacked the east and west, and actually discovered the secret smuggling base of Taikanghou.
"Who else can I trust this great empire?" The Supreme Emperor said hoarsely: "Wang Zhuo, how trust did I trust when you left Beijing? I gave you the token that I personally visited and the Sword of Shangfang, just to let you find out the case and give an explanation to the world. Yu Zheng was assassinated and you were safe and sound. There were many rumors in the capital, but I didn't believe it and still chose to believe you. What was the result? This is how you repay my trust?"
Wang Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, immediately knelt on the ground with his forehead against the ground.
"The Supreme Emperor, I... am guilty."
The Supreme Emperor said: "You are guilty? What crime? The crime of misunderstanding? Or the crime of being a member of the world? I am afraid that I will continue to investigate this case, afraid that the more I will be more discouraged, and I feel that the empire has no hope."
After saying that, the Emperor's tears fell.
"I am guilty, I am guilty!"
The Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, forgot, your Wang Zhuo is a senior official of the court. I want to give you decent. You retire. I will not enthrone you such as the Prince's Young Guard, the Prince's Young Tutor, etc., just go home like this."
Wang Zhuo cried bitterly, his forehead pressed against the ground, and said, "I thank the Emperor of the Supreme, and I thank the Emperor of the Supreme, and I thank the Emperor of the Supreme."
Then, he took off his official hat and robe with trembling.
"The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, I am gone." Wang Zhuo knelt on the ground again, and then left the court tremblingly.
The Minister of Justice has stepped down.
In fact, when Yun Zhonghe started this shocking case, it meant that the Minister of Justice would step down.
Because of this huge case, the level of investigation of the Minister of Justice can only be enough for the Minister of Justice to be the imperial envoy. This case is destined to be exploded, so as the imperial envoy, he must take the blame.
But Lord Yu Zheng is innocent because he was even assassinated to investigate the case, so he would not have any guilt.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor said, "The Minister of Justice is gone, and we will investigate this major case again. This position cannot be empty. Do you have any recommendations?"
After saying that, the Supreme Emperor looked at the emperor and said, "Emperor, is there anyone in your heart who chooses?"
The emperor said: "My son asks the Supreme Emperor to make arbitrary decision."
Supreme Emperor, why should you ask this question in one go? You are taking advantage of this shocking case with a butcher knife in your hand. Who dares to shoot the Minister of Justice with you?
Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Zhi said: "The Supreme Emperor, I recommend one person, please consider it."
The Supreme Emperor said: "Say."
Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Zhi said: "Former Minister of Rites, Lord Zhu Lantian."
At this time, the cabinet said: "The Supreme Emperor, I also recommend one person."
The Supreme Emperor said: "Okay, you said."
The cabinet said: "Former Prince's Tutor, Lord Zuo Guangdi."
Zuo Guangdi, once the teacher of Emperor Wan Yun, had a straightforward personality and liked to teach the prince a lesson the most. After Emperor Wan Yun ascended the throne, he was really impatient with him, so he let him retire and gave him a lot of glorious titles.
The last time the emperor went to Shangqing Palace to force the palace, Zuo Guangdi knelt outside with a large number of old ministers, asking the emperor not to treat the Supreme Emperor harshly.
So on the surface, Zhu Lantian and Zuo Guangdi are both people who tend to be the Supreme Emperor.
But this Lord Zuo Guangdi was inclined to the emperor in his heart. After all, he was the emperor's teacher. At that time, he just couldn't bear to see the emperor doing horrifying things.
Xu Tianfang, Minister of Personnel, said: "The Minister of Justice and the ministers are at the same level as me. I originally had no right to recommend them. But I have some doubts."
The Supreme Emperor said: "You said."
Xu Tianfang said: "Prince Liang was in his 80s and served as the chief minister of the clan. This is the glory of the royal family. After all, this is a idle position and does not require too much effort. However, the Minister of Justice, as one of the heads of the six ministries, has a lot of official duties every day, while Zuo Guangdi is nearly 80 years old and has limited energy. Zhu Lantian is about ten years younger and has much more energy after all. Moreover, he has also been a minister of Dali Temple and has experience in the punishment and prison, so I think it is more suitable for Zhu Lantian."
The Supreme Emperor said: "Yes, it's reasonable, it's reasonable! Just talk about me. I feel that I'm exhausted a lot of energy these days. Fortunately, the emperor is in charge of the government, otherwise I will be difficult for me to support it."
This is the advantage of Emperor Tianyan. When he was in power, he rarely was convicted for his words. Xu Tianfang said that Zuo Guangdi was old and could not bear the labor of the case. In fact, his advantages were suspected of being suspicious of the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor did not care. Instead, he took the initiative to say that he was old and lacked energy.
But Emperor Wan Yun was different when he was in power. This person loved association very much, so his ministers had to be careful when speaking.
Then, the Supreme Emperor said, "Then let Zhu Lantian be the Minister of Justice. What do you think, Emperor?"
The emperor said: "My son asks the Supreme Emperor to make arbitrary decision."
More than half an hour later, Zhu Lantian appeared in the court because he had always lived in the Nulang Hou's Mansion, which was very close.
The civil and military officials in the court really took a deep breath.
How long has it been before Ao Yu pushed out all three teachers.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Chief Censor of the Censor, now there is another Minister of Justice.
You are so scary, you are just a fifth-rank official.
………………………………………………
The Emperor of Supreme People said in a cold voice: "Now the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Censorate, and Black Ice Platform are all complete. The Marquis of Taikang are greedy for disaster relief grain and smuggled weapons to rebel King Shibian. The evidence is conclusive. The three courts jointly with the Black Ice Platform to dispatch 5,000 troops to confiscate the house, and arrest all the relevant people in Beijing!"
"Abide by the order!"
As the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor continued his order, five thousand soldiers and horses suddenly left the capital and went to the Taikang Marquis' Mansion to search the house.
The Taikang Marquis Mansion in the capital and the Taikang Marquis Mansion in Canglang Province, all of them were arrested and escorted back to Beijing.
The century-old nobles, the maritime tyrants, the once prominent Marquis of Taikang and the Empress's family were completely destroyed.
After being escorted to Beijing.
Next, the three departments will conduct a trial, with Zhu Lantian, the Minister of Justice, as the main body, Dali Temple Minister and Yu Zheng, the Chief Censor.
The trial lasted for several days and nights, and the relevant evidence, related confessions, and a pile of several houses.
In the end, Taikanghou wrote more than 30,000 words in total.
During the ten years of Emperor Wan Yun's reign, the father-in-law Taikang's mansion smuggled various strategic materials and made a profit of up to tens of millions of taels of silver.
There were terrifying tens of millions of taels, but only one and a half million taels were seized in total. All the money left disappeared, and the prince of Taikang also disappeared without a trace.
Next, no matter how the interrogation was conducted, Taikang Hou did not say a word about where the money went.
Even after being punished, he didn't say a word.
Suddenly one day, the father-in-law Taikang said, "Mr. Zhu Lantian, I can explain where the more than 10 million taels of silver went, but I only said to you alone, do you dare to listen?"
Zhu Lantian sneered: "What are I afraid of?"
Then, Zhu Lantian sent everyone away, leaving only him and Taikanghou.
The father-in-law Taikang said: "I will pay the tribute to all the more than 10 million taels of silver."
Order Club? Zhu Lantian had never heard of it.
Taikang Hou said: "That's all, hahahaha."
After the defeat of the country, this father-in-law was not very nervous, but instead acted as if he was ready to die.
Zhu Lantian, the Minister of Justice, immediately went to report to the Supreme Emperor.
"All more than 10 million taels of silver were paid tribute to the Order Society?" The Supreme Emperor's eyes shrank slightly.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor said, "Okay, there is no need to interrogate it, just make a decision."
Zhu Lantiandao, Minister of Justice: "I obey the order."
…………………………………………
The next day, the father-in-law Taikanghou was completely convicted of nine serious crimes.
Nineteen people involved in the case were sentenced to beheading, and ninety-five people involved in the case were sentenced to beheading.
The remaining more than a thousand people in the Taikang Marquis' Mansion were all exiled and all positions were dismissed.
Ning Huaian, the once arrogant admiral of the capital, also participated in the corruption case of Taikanghou and provided Taikanghou with relevant military supplies for smuggling. He was punished for several crimes and was sentenced to beheading.
This admiral of the capital who had offended Yun Zhonghe countless times, and the deviant general under the empress, was finally about to die.
…………………………………………
On this day, countless people came to watch the execution, and Yun Zhonghe also watched this big scene under the protection of a group of people.
The father-in-law Tai Kanghou, although he has a high status, Yun Zhonghe does not recognize him, and his eyes are only staring at the capital's admiral Ning Huaian.
Ning Huaian also discovered him, and his eyes immediately released endless hatred.
Ao Yu, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous!
