Chapter 643 National Anger and Zhao Ji's Final Ending (8)
Chapter 643 The final outcome of the national anger and Zhao Ji (8)
Author: Geyu
Wang Lin smiled indifferently: "No need to say more, come and invite Princess Dekang back and let him take care of himself."
The Jinyiwei stepped forward and took Dekang back.
Whether it was poisoned wine or white silk, they were waiting for her.
Wang Lin was a woman who was a female and an elder of Zhao Fujin and other women. For Li Gang's affection, he left her with a decent attitude.
As for the people who were accused of the Shi family, no one could be kept.
Zhao Xuan and others were frightened. Under the power of the emperor, they didn't even dare to beg for mercy. In fact, they thought that such a serious crime would be impossible to survive again.
"Come on my Emperor's Sword!"
Yan Qing looked shocked and guessed what the emperor was going to do, but he did not dare to stop him. He respectfully presented Wang Lin's sword.
Wang Lin didn't say nonsense, and instantly drew his sword out of the sheath.
The sword edge shone brightly in the sun, and the spring breeze blew on his face. Wang Lin's face was cold and solemn, and the sword in his hand was swung down without hesitation.
Zhao Xuan's head was cut off and blood was flowing.
Wang Lin lifted his sword and turned around, his face as cold as ice: "Kill, kill without mercy!"
...
Thirty-six people, led by Zhao Xuan, who were involved in the plot to rebel, were killed by the Jinyiwei on the spot and Zhengfa was on the Luoyang city tower, killing a bloody river. The rest of the family members were exiled for three thousand miles.
Although the remaining hundreds or thousands of people in Luoyang were not guilty, they ordered their families to move and migrate, 30% went to Ryukyu overseas, 30% went to the Western Regions New City, and 30% went to the southwest of Vientiane.
Wang Lin is too lazy to go and properly settle it.
Although he did not kill these people, he allowed them to stay away from the Central Plains and go to the wild places outside the border to seek a way out, so as not to cause trouble and cause some trouble.
Dekang committed suicide, and Zhao Qi was punished for going to Yanjing.
Since then, the Luoyang Rebellion has been settled.
...
Yanjing.
Inside the Political Affairs Hall.
Li Gang and others were anxious and restless.
First, the emperor suddenly left without saying goodbye and left only a secret letter to Li Gang. When Li Gang received the secret letter, the emperor had long disappeared.
Second, the Zhao clan's rebellion in Luoyang had spread throughout Yanjing and the government and the country, and various discussions were in full swing, and the court was in chaos.
Should we send troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, and how to deal with it? There are also the attacks and impeachments of the Zhao clan's royal family like a tide of censors and censors in the court... All of this has to be decided by the emperor, but the emperor is not in Yanjing.
If the news is leaked, the court will definitely be in a bad mood.
This kind of thing naturally cannot be hidden from Wu Min and others. The five pavilions were forced to swear to the court officials on the grounds that the emperor occasionally had to get cold and needed to rest in the palace, and the court meeting was apart.
But the emperor's rebellion from the capital and went to Luoyang to personally quell the rebellion will definitely not be kept for long.
Li Gang said worriedly: "Your Majesty is really..."
Before he finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside the hall: "Don't worry, I'm here."
The emperor walked into the political affairs hall slowly as the car. Li Gang and others were overjoyed and bowed to the ground.
Wang Lin knew what these pavilions would advise next, so he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, my dear friends, Luoyang has finished the matter, don't mention this matter again. Just pretend that I have never left, do you understand?"
Li Gang's head shook lightly, speechless.
Faced with such an elusive emperor who never plays according to common sense and is arbitrary emperor, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, what else can he say?
Wu Min, Huang Qishan, Zong Ze, and Guo Zhishun also took a deep breath and quietly retreated to both sides to stand.
Wang Lin sat upright in the hall and smiled and said, "I haven't been there for a few days. You don't have to worry. I'm here, there are some things that need to be discussed with you."
"The Zhao clan of Luoyang rebelled, and the leader was Shi Yucheng, the son of Princess Dekang." As soon as Wang Lin said this, Li Gang's expression suddenly changed.
Dekang and the Shi family are his Li family's in-laws.
Dekang's daughter Shi Xiaohui is also his daughter-in-law and Li Zongzhi's true wife.
"At present, Shi Yucheng is on the run, but I have ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest him, and I believe that the case will be arrested soon. Dozens of royal family members involved in the case, including Zhao Xuan, have been ordered to rectify the law on the spot. Dekang committed suicide due to his crime. As for Zhao Qi, the eighth son of the former Song Emperor, who was convicted of rebellion, his crimes can be forgiven. I ordered someone to escort him to Beijing and be punished by the Three Laws of the Court in accordance with the law.
There are many other measures, and the Jinyiwei will report it in detail in the next step, and I will not repeat it.”
The emperor made a light statement about Luoyang's incident, and the faces of Li Gang and the other two in the Political Affairs Hall were all shocked.
Especially Li Gang, he looked pale and slowly bowed to the ground: "The old minister is guilty, and the old minister's in-laws are involved in the case of rebellion. The old minister knows that it is hard to blame..."
Before Li Gang could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang Lin: "Okay, Li Xiang, after verification by the Jinyiwei, this matter has nothing to do with you. Dekang's daughter is not involved in the case, and I will not implicate the innocent. Just comfort your family.
Don't think too much. I am here to discuss with you how to deal with Emperor Song Zhao Ji. By the way, Zhao Ji is already on the way to Yanjing."
Li Gang remained silent.
Although he was grateful to the emperor for his magnanimity and great faith, he was the Shi family's in-laws and had a close relationship with the murderer of the case, so he had to avoid this case.
In fact, even if the emperor does not blame or involves it, Li Gang will definitely face the impeachment and impeachment of the censor in the court.
Li Gang had a headache for a moment.
...
The atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall became complicated, solemn and dull.
How to deal with the former Emperor Zhao Ji of Song... This is a very difficult problem.
On the surface, it seems very simple. Since Zhao Ji is involved in the plot of rebellion, it is enough to be punished by Ming Zhengpao.
But things are not that simple.
It is easy to kill Zhao Ji, but the negative impact of killing Zhao Ji is too great.
First of all, Zhao Ji's daughters were all in the harem of Concubine Wei, and the relationship between the emperor and Zhao Ji was too complicated.
Secondly, Zhao Ji's involvement in the plot of rebellion was very secretive. Even if the court made the case public, it might not convince the people of the world. Instead, he would think that the emperor wanted to inflict any trouble. After all, a former Emperor of Song who was imprisoned in the deep palace and a person who was known to be weak and incompetent in the whole country, few people would believe that he dared to rebel.
Third, although the former Song Dynasty was in the past and the Great Yan Dynasty was prosperous, the former Song Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Moreover, the emperor had previously announced the world that he treated Zhao Ji, who had abdicated the throne, and said it was clear that killing him at this moment would be detrimental to the emperor's reputation.
But not killing Zhao Ji brings another problem. As long as Zhao Ji is not dead, Zhao Song's shadow will not be erased for a day, and it is difficult to guarantee that similar chaos will occur in the future.
Especially the emperor's attitude was not very clear about the ministers in the cabinet, so they had a long time to come and bowed, "Your Majesty, Zhao Ji's rebellion must be approved by the three judicial departments before the case can be decided. Is it too early to say that Zhao Ji is dealt with?"
"The Jinyiwei's memorial will be reported to the cabinet in a few days..." Wang Lin looked around and said with a deep face: "You don't need to hide what Zhao Ji should do. I want to hear your opinions before handing over this case to the Three Laws."
