Chapter 179 Crazy Killing
Everyone looked at Sima Xi in amazement. Sima Xi shouted angrily and pointed: "Sima Huang, I treat you well, why do you slander me? Are you worried about lard?"
Huan Wen shouted: "King Wuling, how can you roar in the court? Can't the emperor understand the whole story? You are too brave to threaten the report in person."
Sima Xi glared at him and cursed: "Old thief, you must be the one who is behind the scenes. My great Jin Dynasty will sooner or later be ruined by someone like you who are authoritarian and domineering."
Seeing this, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Sima Yu saw His Highness in a mess and coughed, "Everyone is a little calm. This is in the court. Why do they all know etiquette? I personally interrogate, and no one is allowed to interrupt."
Seeing that Sima Yu was angry, Sima Xi had to retreat with awkwardly; although Huan Wen wanted to continue speaking, he was also stopped by Xi Chao.
Sima Yu walked off the dragon seat and came to Sima Huang who was crying on the ground and said softly: "King Xincai asked him to get up. Is the words just now true? You should tell me in detail. Don't have any false words, I will make the decision for you."
Sima Huang cried sadly and secretly looked at Huan Wen standing aside. Huan Wen was full of anger and stared straight at him with sharp eyes.
Sima Huang shook all over and hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, every word I say is true, I dare not say a word of lies. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, King Wuling has summoned me to discuss many times. I didn't want to go, but I took it from King Wuling's power and was afraid that he would not be good to me, so I had to give it a false statement. The previous few times were limited to discussions on state affairs, so I didn't take it seriously, but the content of the negotiations in the last few times was no longer limited to general state affairs, but... but it involves disobedience and rebellion. I was really panicked in my heart, and I was awakened by a nightmare when I dreamed at midnight. King Wuling once said to me: If this matter is leaked, I will kill my whole family. I know my own suffering, but I dare not speak to outsiders. I am guilty." After that, I burst into tears.
Sima Xi was so sad and angry that he rushed up and wanted to fight Sima Huang. Huan Wen shouted sternly: "Come on, tie up King Wuling."
The guards on the side looked at Han Mu's eyes and did not step forward; Huan Wen said furiously: "Why don't you go quickly?" Han Mu nodded slightly, and the guards stepped forward to tie the angry Sima Xi's uniform with ropes and dragged it to the front of the hall.
Sima Xi howled loudly: "It's unfair, Your Majesty, I'm unfair. King Xincai slandered people, Your Majesty will be wise."
Sima Yu was at a loss and had no solution to the current situation.
Huan Wen stepped forward and said with a gloomy face: "The King of Wuling naturally shouted that he was wronged. You need to know that disobedience and rebellion is a serious crime. It would be strange if you don't shout for wronged."
Sima Xi's eyes were full of tears and roared: "Old thief Huan Wen, it must be you who colluded with King Xin Cai to frame me, you... you... you shameless person!"
Huan Wen smiled and said, "Your crime has been added to you, slandering important officials of the court! Let me ask you, you keep saying that you are wronged. Have you summoned King Xincai to the mansion to discuss it many times?"
Sima Xi said: "There is... there is, but what we discuss is not a matter of treason, but a matter of the country." As soon as this statement came out, all civil and military officials felt that Sima Xi was not doing properly.
"Hahaha" Huan Wen laughed and said with contempt, "Why not discuss state affairs in the court? If the emperor and civil and military officials are here, why do you need to worry about this?"
Sima Xi was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't say anything. He asked someone to discuss how to get rid of Huan Wen, and forming a clique to frame important officials in the court was also a serious crime.
Huan Wen turned around and asked Sima Huang, "Wang Cai, please repeat the discussion content, let us wait and hear what?"
Sima Huang leaned on the ground and trembled, "I dare not say... I am guilty!"
Huan Wen stared at Sima Yu. Sima Yu knew that today's matter would not be revealed, and was afraid that Huan Wen would not give up, so he frowned and sighed, "You can say it bluntly, I'll order you to tell me."
Sima Huang kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "The King of Wuling once said: Today's emperor is a straw puppet, cowardly and incompetent."
Sima Xi's face was ashamed. He did say this sentence, but it was not for the purpose of rebellion. The next sentence is: If we want to defeat Huan Wen, we can only rely on our own strength.
But Sima Huang's chapter turned into a rebellious remark; everyone knew that this was indeed from his words when they looked at his face.
Huan Wen asked, "What else has he said?"
Sima Huang had already thrown everything out of the question, and now he took the truth out of context, grafted the truth to the lies, and completely confirmed the great crime of rebellion to Sima Xi.
Sima Xi could not argue, no matter how he defended, he was pale and powerless.
In the end, Sima Huang revealed the list of those involved in the planning one by one. The officials were worried, fearing that they would be bitten, and no one dared to come forward to plead with him. In addition, Sima Xi was arrogant and domineering on weekdays and offended many people, and some even took advantage of the situation and kicked him a few times.
Han Mu was secretly shocked when he heard that Sima Huang bit out the people: Yu Xi, General of the Northern Army, Yu Qian, Chief Secretary of the Prime Minister, Yu Yun, General of Guangzhou, Yin Juan, General of the Scattered Cavalry, Yu Rou, and dozens of officials of all sizes. Unexpectedly, Huan Wen was so vicious that he wanted to use this matter to eradicate all the forces opposed by third parties other than his side. He couldn't help but regret his own way of shaking Sima Xi. It was not Sima Xi that he regretted, but implicated so many people, and he couldn't bear it.
When Han Mu thought of this, he secretly entered the corner and reached out to call a guard and said a few words in his ear. The guard took the order and secretly left the hall.
Sima Xi was already powerless to roar, panting and murmured: "Old thief, I am incompatible with you. If you slander me like this, what is the law of heaven? Your Majesty, you are wronged."
Although Sima Xi felt something was strange, there was a witness at this time. There were also people who accused Sima Xi of cheating in daily speech and behavior, and there was nothing they could do. In addition, looking at Huan Wen's posture, he would not give up, so he had to turn his attention to Xie An and Wang Tan's place and seek help.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xie An coughed and stepped forward and said, "This matter is very important and needs further investigation. Please ask the emperor to appoint a special person to find out the case so as not to cause fallacies."
Sima Yu knew that this was a delaying strategy and hurriedly said, "Then please help Lord Xie and Lord Wang. The two of you will find out this matter carefully and then make a decision."
Wang Tanzhi and Xie Angang were about to come forward to receive the order, but Huan Wen shouted: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
Sima Yu turned his head and said in surprise: "Sima He said this? What's wrong with it?"
Huan Wen said: "It was a great idea to assign Lord Wang and Lord Xie to find out this matter, but the emperor also remembers that our dynasty already has the position of an internal historian, and his responsibility is to be responsible for the security and criminal affairs of the capital. There is a special department here, but he also assigned others to investigate. Where should the position of an internal historian be placed?"
Seeing the situation, Wang Xun stepped forward and bowed and said, "What the Grand Sima said is extremely true, but the behavior of the empress is inappropriate and cannot be blamed by the inner historian? If this is true, please give the emperor the decree to remove me from the position of the inner historian."
The two of them sang together, but Sima Yu forced Sima Yu to retreat without any further. Sima Yu sighed and said, "In this way, please ask the Wang Neisha to find out the case. Report the case results in three days and then make a decision."
Wang Xun sang a promise loudly, Sima Yu was in a very bad mood and bowed down.
Everyone talked and left the court. Wang Xun immediately ordered Sima Xi and Sima Huang to be imprisoned and arrested Yu Xi, Yin Juan, Yu Yun and others.
For a moment, the iron cavalry all over the city and sealed the family, causing chaos.
Before this, three cavalry outside the east gate rushed out and headed straight to the northeast. The three of them were dressed in green hats and dressed as civilians in the city. These three were Yu Xi. Yu Xi's sixth brother Yu Miao and his son Yu Xiuzhi. Han Mu sent guards to inform Yu Xi to escape quickly. Yu Xi knew that it was not appropriate to go, so he could only take Yu Miao and Yu Xiuzhi who lived with him, clean up some of the fineness and softness. Wang Xun escaped from the capital in one step and headed straight to the place where his mother and brother Wu Chen in Hailing (Taizhou).
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Xun fled for fear of the crime. The case was confirmed and killed Yu Rou, the chief minister of the cavalry, Yu Qian, and the writer of the Lang Yinjuan. He also sent hundreds of soldiers to Yangzhou to capture Guangzhou Governor Yu Yun. At the same time, he found out the direction of Yu Xi's escape and sent troops to Hailing to capture Yu Xi and Yu Miao and others.
More than ten officials who were falsely accused in the city were killed by the whole family. By the evening of the next day, the number of people who were implicated in the matter reached more than 4,000. The sword edge of the soldiers of the Duwei Mansion under Wang Xun was about to be cut.
Everyone in the Health City was in danger and everyone was panicked. It was the first time that Han Mushang saw the bloody struggle between factions. He suddenly felt that Huan Wen could not be so arrogant. So he invited Xie An and Wang Tanzhi to meet the Empress Dowager and the Emperor overnight. Empress Dowager Chu and Sima Yu received clear support from Xie An and others. He issued a strict order overnight to prohibit the killing of all involved people, and explicitly ordered Wang Xun not to touch the people in Sima Xi's mansion and others.
Huan Wen and Wang Xun were all surprised when they saw the order, but then they realized that Xie An and Han Mu had taken action, and the purpose had basically been achieved. Although Sima Xi was not dead yet, he would definitely be unable to fight against him from now on, so he stopped killing him.
A few days later, Guangzhou Governor Yu Yun received news that before the soldiers of the Duwei Mansion arrived, they died of drinking poisonous wine. The officers and soldiers sent to Hailing to search for Yu Xi returned in vain, and this time came to an end.
