Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 314 Who can prove that Zhao Gaozhen is in Lama Temple? ! (Second more)
dark division.

Yi is currently in charge of the government office.

For more than half a month, he has been busy adjudicating the Wei Si, and hardly had a good rest, and now the trial is finally over, and everything has been summarized on a bamboo slip.

aside.

Si Cheng looked at the bamboo slips and asked in confusion: "Yu Shi, Wei Si has explained so much, but he is vague about what happened 11 years ago. What happened 11 years ago? So much so that Wei Si dare not speak out. .”

"He's dying."

"And there are no relatives in the family for a long time."

"It stands to reason that if he sincerely wants to confess, he should explain everything clearly. The confessions we have obtained may not be complete."

"The lower official thinks that the trial should continue!"

heard.

Yi's face darkened.

He took a look at his official lieutenant, this person was not from Guanzhong, but was selected by the first emperor from the six places when the officials were transferred last time, so he knew very little about what happened in Guanzhong.

even.

Never heard of it at all.

After all, the world was not yet unified at that time, and Qin and the six lands were still at war. As a subject of another country, how could he easily know what happened in Xianyang?

Si Cheng didn't know.

Doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Through the investigation during this period of time, he has guessed some clues, so even if he knew that there were gaps in Wei Si's confession, he dared not try again, because once the big case that shocked Guanzhong was involved, the matter would be even more serious. big.

It won't be over in half an hour.

Without the consent of the First Emperor, how could he dare to interrogate it in depth?
Yi pondered for a moment, and decided to tell his adjutant a few words. They have worked together for more than half a year and got along very well. If Si Cheng offended His Majesty because of his ignorance, it would be an inexplicable disaster.

Yi said:

"Be careful with your words!"

"We are trying Wei Si's 'fake death' case, not another case, and what you just asked, I suggest you erase it from your mind, don't pursue it, don't investigate it, let alone inquire about it, Go ask."

"That's the restricted area of ​​the court!"

"This matter is deeply involved. Let alone you, even I, or even other courtiers, dare not bring it up lightly. If you are a little careless, you will commit a heinous crime."

"You should be very careful!"

Si Cheng was startled, his eyes full of suspicion.

He is very aware of Yi's position in the court. Although Yi is still named Yushi, his authority is no lower than that of Jiuqing, and he was once a member of Jiuqing, but he was involved in some incidents later. He was demoted by the first emperor, but even so, he was still highly valued.

However, what happened 11 years ago, Lian Yi, an important official of the court, did not dare to discuss it deeply, and even felt scared, so how could he not let him feel palpitations?

He hastily bowed and said:

"Thank you, Yushi, for telling me that the next official almost made a big mistake."

"After being dismissed from office, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and will never bring up related matters again."

"Please supervise the censor!"

Yi slightly nodded his forehead.

Ning Sheng said:
"Don't ask, don't mention it."

"When it's time for you to know, you will naturally know it. When you shouldn't know it, if you know it, it will become a 'crime' instead!"

"I will report the case to His Majesty, and you will stay in the official office to continue sorting it out."

"No." Si Cheng responded.

Yi took the summarized bamboo slips and walked quickly towards Xianyang Palace.

Si Cheng stood where he was, his eyes turned slightly.

He was able to be promoted, naturally because of his clear mind, Yi Du reminded him so clearly, how could he not have guessed that what happened 11 years ago might have involved His Majesty, so that all the officials dared not speak out.

It's just that he was still a little surprised.

Wei Si was already a fugitive back then.

How can His Majesty be alarmed?
What's even more bizarre is that Wei Si did not reveal his identity back then, that is to say, Wei Si did something that might embarrass the first emperor without revealing his identity. , and even continued to get away with it.

Is this really possible?

Si Cheng looked dazed, feeling very unrealistic.

but.

He didn't dare to think about it, he quickly shook his head, got rid of the random thoughts in his mind, and continued to organize his case.

the other side.

Yi has already gone outside Xianyang Palace.

Following the eunuch's 'Xuan', Yi entered the hall respectfully.

Once in the hall.

Yi quickly said: "Chen Yi sees Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, gestured for Ping Li, and said calmly: "Wei Si's case has been tried?"

Yi said:

"Report to Your Majesty."

"For half a month, Wei Si has been answering almost every question. I have sorted out all the crimes committed by Wei Si. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Done.

Yi raised the bamboo slip in his hand above his head.

Soon, an eunuch trotted over, took the bamboo slips, and respectfully sent them to Ying Zheng's major case. Ying Zheng didn't open them, and said coldly, "Got it."

"Who released him back then?"

Yi said:

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"It's Yangquan Jun Michen."

"At that time, Mi Chen was the censor Zhongcheng and was in charge of the prison, so he found someone who was similar in stature to Wei Si to die as a substitute, and with the help of other officials, it was possible to confuse the fake with the real."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"Mi Chen?"

"He doesn't have the guts."

"If it was Mi Rong back then, maybe I would still believe it, but Mi Chen? It's just a foreign relative. He can't make the decision about the private release of the guard house! It's not his turn to make the decision either."

Yi's face changed slightly.

He is from Guanzhong.

Naturally, it is clear who Shi Huang is referring to.

It was the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Mi Chen's sister.

At that time, the first emperor used some power tricks to play with various forces in the palm of his hand. He borrowed the hands of the Empress Dowager Huayang and Lu Buwei to eradicate Chengxu, Lai Ai and others one by one. The First Emperor had completely taken over the royal power, and the Empress Dowager Huayang made frequent moves in the back, trying to counterattack and seize power again, but all failed.

So much so that he was directly kicked out of the court later.

The fact that Wei Si pretended to be the real thing was obviously done by the Empress Dowager Huayang. She wanted to use this to win Wei Si over, and then win over Cheng Xun and Lai Ai's undisclosed influence, but these things are not enough to explain to outsiders.

Yi was trembling and dared not speak.

Ying Zheng didn't care too much.

And said:

"These things are over after all."

"Since Wei Si said it was Mi Chen, then it must be Mi Chen."

Yi quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Ying Zheng continued: "Except for Mi Chen, are there any officials involved alive?"

Yi Dao: "All those recruited by Wei Si have passed away."

Ying Zheng sneered.

Obviously not happy with the result.

But he also knew that the reason why Wei Si recruited so happily was because he knew that all the people involved were dead, so he was so reckless.

Ying Zheng said indifferently:
"I don't care if they live or die."

"Since they dare to fool me in public and fool the people of the world, then don't blame me for being merciless."

"Any official involved in the case of that year."

"All barbarians!"

"Their relatives have been at large for more than [-] years, and they should be punished by the law."

"Who has Wei Si been in contact with in the past? Now there are those people in the court who have had contact with Wei Si in the past, or have received favor from Wei Si."

"You tell me everything!"

"I also want to see how many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty have two hearts!"

Ying Zheng's tone was calm.

But when it fell into Yi's ears, he felt his heart tremble, and he said quickly: "I have sorted out the materials of Wei Si's manuscripts before his execution. There are indeed a few people in the court who have received Wei Si's favor, and there are no less than five or six people who are with Wei Si. There was an intersection."

"Those who have received favors include Salt Officer Li Su, Servant Chen Sheng, Taicang Order and Wei Si who have intersected, there is CRRC Mansion Zhao Gao, there is Yongxiang Order Charter, and there are Shao Shuzi."

Hearing this personal name, Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold.

These people are all court officials.

immediately.

Ying Zheng noticed one of them.

Most of the officials involved in it worked in Jiuqing, and rarely reported political affairs to him alone.

Only one person.

Zhao Gao!

Ying Zheng asked, "Tell me about Zhao Gao."

Yi said:

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"I have investigated the files of Wei Si. When Wei Si was the order of Yongxiang, he promoted Zhao Gao and others from the hidden palace."

heard.

Ying Zheng seemed to remember something.

Forehead to:
"There is indeed such a thing."

"I remember that it was Wei Si who introduced Zhao Gao to me. He said that Zhao Gao was quite talented, could write well, and was proficient in the law. It would undoubtedly be a waste for such a person to stay in the hidden palace. Therefore, I sent Zhao Gao Gao was promoted from the hidden palace."

"And Zhao Gao is indeed very talented."

Speaking of which.

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said to the outside of the hall: "Come here, tell Zong Zheng to come."

soon.

Ying Teng appeared in the hall.

Ying Zheng sat on it, looked at Ying Teng coldly, and asked, "Zong Zheng, you must have heard about the case 11 years ago."

Ying Teng's expression froze slightly.

Hastily said:
"Your Majesty has indeed heard about it."

Ying Zheng continued: "If I remember correctly, after the accident that year, I asked you to secretly investigate the eunuchs and maids in the palace."

Ying Teng said, "It's true."

Ying Zheng nodded, and said again: "I'm asking you now, where was Zhao Gao the day the accident happened?!"

Ying Teng thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao said he was in Lama Temple at that time, and Mr. Huhai testified for him, so I didn't investigate further. Could it be that your majesty suspected that Zhao Gao was lying?"

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "Apart from Hu Hai, who else can prove that Zhao Gao is in Lama Temple?"

Ying Teng shook his head and said, "There are no other witnesses."

Done.

There was a look of solemnity in Ying Teng's eyes, and he bowed and said, "I will go down and investigate strictly."

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and said:
"no need."

"Things have passed for such a long time, and some things cannot be found out, but since Hu Hai has testified for him, I will believe him for once."

Ying Zheng looked at Yi, and continued: "Investigate the people you found carefully, I don't care how deep they hide, or how well they hide, I just want to know if they have anything to do with Wei Si Make peace in secret."

Yi hastily said:

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

Ying Zheng said, "Is there anything Wei Si hasn't said yet?"

Yi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Si is quite a man of the city, and he has said almost every detail about some things that are easy to find out, but what did he say to Qin Luoheng, and what did he say to Qin Luoheng?" What was written on Luoheng's bamboo slips, until now, has never let go."

"The minister is dereliction of duty!"
