Chapter 173 A Gift to the Regent
As soon as Qin Shuhuang's words came out, Du Shangshu, who was standing at the front of the civil servants' ranks, lost his legs and stared at Qin Shuhuang wantonly.

How did the eldest princess find out about the dam, and how did she know that the matter of the dam was related to him?And how did they find those letters!
He obviously acted very carefully, and reminded He Cong thousands of times!
The brothers and sisters of the He family are really as stupid as pigs!When he goes back, he must kill them to vent his anger!
The regent's brows furrowed fiercely, and he glanced at Du Shangshu with sharp eyes. If eyes could kill, Du Shangshu would have been hacked to pieces.

All the ministers looked at Du Shangshu in disbelief, and then couldn't help but cast their eyes on the regent.

Everyone in the court knew that Du Shangshu belonged to the Prince Regent and was his right-hand man. If Du Shangshu was really responsible for destroying the dam, wouldn't the Prince Regent really know about it?I am afraid that it is more likely that this matter was ordered by the Regent King Du Shangshu to do it!
The hearts of many officials trembled.

Such a selfish regent who destroys the people and benefits himself is really good for Dawu?
If the regent is really allowed to remain in power, the century-old state may be destroyed in the hands of the regent!
The ministers who had been neutral or had already leaned towards the regent were suddenly shaken in their hearts.

The little eunuch did not directly present the lacquer plate to the regent, but walked up to Qin Shumin, who was at the top. Xiao Rang came over a few steps, took a few letters and presented them to Qin Shumin, then winked at the little eunuch, and the little eunuch The eunuch brought the remaining secret message to Qin Wei.

When Qin Wei's sinister eyes looked at the little eunuch who presented the evidence, the little eunuch trembled in fright.

In the past, in the court, no matter what he did, even Qin Shumin would put him first. Today, this little eunuch has eaten the heart of a bear and leopard?

Qin Wei became more and more displeased.

He hastily took the rest of the letter from the lacquer tray, quickly opened it, and looked at it at a glance, it was really Du Haomiao's own handwriting!

Not only is it handwritten, but Du Haomiao's personal seal is also stamped on the letter paper!This Du idiot!

Qin Shumin over there also opened the letter and read it.

Several letters, if only the regent had read them, he had a lot of ways to detain and destroy these letters, and openly said that the evidence was false, but now these two people read them!He didn't even have the chance to help Du Haomiao hide his sophistry!

All the officials were waiting, but seeing the regent's expression, the eldest princess was probably right.

After a while, Qin Shuhuang said: "Excuse me, the Emperor and the Regent, are these letters true? Could they prove that Du Shangshu destroyed the dam privately?"

Without waiting for the regent to speak, Xiao Rang took a step forward and raised his voice: "The emperor read the letter, these are indeed written by Du Shangshu himself!"

After Xiao Rang finished speaking, following Qin Shumin's wishes, he had someone send the letter to the officials for circulation.

The letter was quickly passed on to the officials, and the preempted regent's face became even more gloomy.

Whether it is official business or life, ministers have contacts on weekdays and know each other's handwriting.

Soon, a familiar minister recognized that it was indeed Du Shangshu's calligraphy, not to mention that it also contained a private seal.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately came forward and said: "My minister testifies that the letter is indeed Du Shangshu's handwriting."

The two dams were built under the supervision of the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Generally speaking, if the rebuilt dam is damaged within three years, it is considered to be cutting corners, and the people from the Ministry of Industry will be held accountable.

Now these two dams have broken down within a year. If Du Shangshu's story is not confirmed today, then the Ministry of Industry Minister will be held accountable.

The Ministry of Industry is not clean, and it must have been corrupt when the dam was repaired, but the situation should not be that serious. The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry has a guilty conscience, so he rushed to testify and hold Du Shangshu to death!

Qin Shuhuang sneered in his heart, but today is not the time to deal with the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he should leave this person for the emperor's younger brother to deal with in the future.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry took the lead to testify, and other officials who read the letter immediately came out to testify and echoed.

Seeing this situation, Du Haomiao saw the regent's cold eyes again, his face turned pale instantly, his legs were limp and he collapsed to the ground, unable to even utter a word to beg for mercy.

He knew that he was completely finished today...

As more and more ministers came out to testify, the regent had to speak even if he was unwilling to speak again.

He looked coldly at Qin Shuhuang who "swung a sword", and for his reputation, he could only "cut off his own arm", "Du Haomiao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, destroyed the dam and harmed the people, leaving tens of thousands of people in Dawu homeless You can return, the wife and children are separated, the crime is unforgivable, now the evidence is solid, and the nine clans will be punished!"

Since Du Haomiao can no longer keep it, let's cut the mess quickly and eradicate it completely!

Transferring all the hatred of the common people to Du Haomiao, cut off all connections between Du Haomiao and him in an instant!
As soon as the regent said these harsh words, the whole hall was in an uproar, even Qin Shuhuang was no exception.

Although Du Haomiao is hateful, he will not be sentenced to the Nine Clans!

Since the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty, only the crime of treason will be punished by the nine clans, and the heinous crimes are only punished by the three clans.

Qin Shuhuang frowned slightly, fearing that Qin Wei wanted to make a quick decision without leaving any future troubles!
Although Qin Shuhuang wanted to interfere with the regent's decision to kill the Jiu Clan, she did not have the right now. If she spoke for Du Haomiao at this time, it would make people think too much.

Although the courtiers wanted to persuade a few words, but at this juncture, it was not worth speaking for someone like Du Haomiao.

So for a while, no one stood up to speak for Du Haomiao.

Du Haomiao stared in shock at the regent who had been loyal to him for more than ten years. Finally, he threw his head on the ground and cried and begged: "I beg the regent to be merciful, I beg the regent to be merciful! I don't regret death, but I beg the regent to be merciful!" The king spared Weichen's children and grandchildren, they are still young and don't know anything, they are innocent!"

Seeing that the Regent was unmoved, Du Haomiao gritted his teeth, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "Regent! I have done so many things for you, I have nothing else to ask for, but..."

Before he could finish his sentence, two strong eunuchs who suddenly appeared covered his mouth and forcibly led him away from the hall.

The two eunuchs didn't know what method they used. Du Haomiao, who was struggling so fiercely just now, became paralyzed after a while, and his eyes became dull.

The ministers who saw this scene were shocked.

At the same time, this scene was like a thorn in the hearts of the ministers standing on the regent's side, making them feel like a thorn in their throats.

A Shangshu was directly taken down from the court, and it was such a severe punishment from Zhu Jiu Clan that the ministers no longer had the intention of going to court.

Qin Shuhuang's goal has also been achieved. After the emperor and the regent announced the disbandment of the court, all the officials left quickly.

Before the regent left, he took a deep look at Qin Shuhuang, which contained anger, warning and threat.

Qin Shuhuang smiled faintly at the regent, and even squatted in the direction of the regent and saluted.

I don't know if the gift she gave today, the regent is not satisfied.

The regent flicked his sleeves and left quickly.

After all the officials left the hall, Liu Renci, dressed in official uniform, came over, "Your Highness is a little reckless today."
