Chapter 323: Imprisoning Prince Yihei and confiscating Prince Yichens home
In the afternoon, after Jing Lie left the palace, he followed Mu Fu and Yu Keping to the Jinyi Mansion. He received the Jinyi Mansion's official uniform for commanding officials and was assigned an office.
Immediately, Jing Lie rode a fast horse back to Longshun Escort Bureau in Shenjing City, issued an order to summon more than fifty dead soldiers, and also made arrangements for Longshun Escort Bureau.
Although Jia Yun asked him to continue to manage Longshun Escort Agency in the future, most of his time and energy in the future will naturally be focused on Jinyi Mansion, and the management of Longshun Escort Agency needs to be adjusted.
While waiting for the dead soldiers to gather at the escort office, Jing Lie was not idle and went back to his home.
Jing Lie's home is located near the escort agency. It is a second-entry house. This house was bought by Jia Yun with money. There are several servants in the family and they live a comfortable life.
Jing Lie was really miserable at the beginning. He was framed by Lou Shoufeng and Lou Biao, dismissed from his post and imprisoned. His beautiful sister Jing Yan was taken as a concubine by Lou Biao. With the help of a general, Jing Lie was released and took his wife and children to hunt in the village.
Make a living.
It was Jia Yun who rectified Lou Shoufeng, Lou Biao, it was Jia Yun who released Jing Yan, it was Jia Yun who allowed Jing Lie and his family to settle down in Shenjing City and live a prosperous life...
In Jing Lie's heart, his life has been sold to Jia Yun.
Now, Jing Lie returned home wearing a fourth-grade command and service official uniform. Seeing this scene, his wife, son Jing Feng, and sister Jing Yan's eyes lit up. When Jing Lie informed the situation, the three of them were overjoyed.
At this time, Jing Lie asked Jing Yan to follow him into the study. There were only two people in the study. Jing Lie said: "Sister, are you still thinking about the emperor?"
Jing Yan suddenly felt ashamed, but she still nodded bravely.
The so-called "caring about" here means liking.
Because Jia Yun rescued Jing Yan from the Lou family and was very kind to the Jing family, and because Jia Yun was young, brave, noble and capable, in Jing Yan's heart, Jia Yun seemed to be an unparalleled hero, and Jing Yan couldn't help but fall in love with Jia Yun.
Jing Yan's character is somewhat outspoken, and she has been Lou Biao's concubine, so she is not very cautious about the relationship between men and women, so Jing Yan had previously made a request to Jing Lie, asking Jing Lie to arrange for her to become Jia Yun's concubine.
.
Even so, Jing Yan still felt a little embarrassed when facing Jing Lie's question.
Jing Lie sighed: "Originally, even if he became a prince, there would still be a chance for this matter. After all, sister, you are very beautiful and young. But now, I am afraid that there is no chance for this matter. He is now
If you are the emperor, how can you let your sister enter the palace and become a concubine?"
Jing Yan's expression darkened: "..."
She understood the meaning of Jing Lie's words. After all, she had been Lou Biao's concubine, even if she was occupied.
Jing Lie said: "My sister has always been sensible and strong. I am telling you these words frankly today. I hope you can give up this thought early so as not to fall deeper into trouble. Now that I have been favored by the emperor, I can let us
If your family can live a better life, sister, please follow me to enjoy the happiness first, and I will arrange a good marriage for you in the future."
Jing Yan paused and said, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, brother."
Jing Lie smiled happily and immediately walked out of the study and walked to Longshun Escort Agency, thinking about his son Jing Feng in the process.
He has long longed for his son Jing Feng to become a great weapon through martial arts. Jia Yun also said that he would introduce Jing Feng to Jing's martial arts school. However, now, the Jing family has fled and Jing's martial arts school is gone...
Jing Lie is not worried about this. Without Jing's martial arts, there are other martial arts. As long as he is loyal to Jia Yun and trains his son to become a talent, he will not worry about his son not having a good future.
…
…
The next day, May 12, four days had passed since Jia Yun ascended the throne.
That morning, under Jia Yun's arrangement, Prince Yiping, who had been imprisoned for many days, was taken into the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall of Yangxin Hall and escorted to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun specially summoned many princes and ministers this time, including Prince Liangjun.
Prince Liangjun was also the prince of Emperor Kangxing. He was Jia Yun's uncle in terms of seniority. He was not weak in ability, but due to the low status of his biological mother, when Emperor Kangxing was in power, he was not awarded the title of prince, only the title of "Prince".
He had a county prince, and when Emperor Tianzhi was in power, he was unwilling to reuse him.
After Jia Yun seized the throne, he imprisoned Prince Zhongshun. With the recommendation of Ji Cunxiao, Cao Wei, Lian Liang and others, Jia Yun asked Prince Liangjun to take charge of the Zongren Mansion. Now Prince Liang is the de facto Zongren Mansion.
Zong Ling, Jia Yun also said that as long as Prince Liang is loyal to him and manages the clan mansion well, he will be promoted to a prince in the future.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Prince Yihei knelt down on his own initiative.
Jia Yun stared at Prince Yiping coldly and asked: "Do you know the crime?"
Prince Yihei hesitated for a moment and said: "Wei Chen... you are guilty!"
Jia Yun asked: "What is your crime?"
Prince Yihei hesitated again and said: "Weak ministers should not covet the throne."
Jia Yun said: "You tried to raise an army to seize the throne. How do you think this crime should be punished?"
Prince Yihei hesitated again and said: "It should be...executed! But I beg the emperor to remember the merits of Wei Chen in the past, to have a blood relationship in the royal family, and to show mercy to Wei Chen!"
Jia Yun said: "It's not impossible to be kind to you, but there is something you have to do. I want you to swear an oath to the ancestors of the Xia family today in front of me and all the princes and ministers. From now on, you will abide by yourself and never follow the military."
If you have an affair, you should be executed, are you willing?"
Prince Yiping was extremely depressed. He had always been very scheming, and he knew that if he did not confess his guilt in front of Jia Yun, the consequences would probably be disastrous. However, Jia Yun was no less scheming than him, and today he summoned many princes and ministers
, asking him to make such an oath to the ancestors of the Xia family in public, how cunning it is!
"What? You don't want to?" Jia Yun said coldly, and then shouted: "It seems that you still want to have an affair with the military and are still coveting the throne. You are asking for death!"
Prince Yihei sighed in his heart and immediately made an oath...
Alas, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!
Jia Yun nodded: "All the ancestors of my Xia family have memorized the oath you made today, I have also memorized it, and all the princes and ministers present have also memorized it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Immediately, Jia Yun said to Cao Wudao, the commander of the Zhongwu Camp who was also summoned today: "Commander Cao, send him back to the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Wu respectfully accepted the order and led Prince Yiping out of the Yangxin Hall and towards Prince Yiping's Mansion...
At this time, Prince Yihei's palace was surrounded by 300 officers and soldiers from the Chungmu Camp, and all the guards who had originally been there for the palace had been dismissed!
Although Prince Yihei was released and returned to the palace, from now on, he will be imprisoned in the palace by Zhongmu Camp!
Because Jia Yun had just raised troops to seize the throne, he needed to restrain himself in his actions, because Prince Yiping's prestige in the army was not small, especially in the central and western regions. Once the Jing family raised troops in the west, Jia Yun would naturally have to mobilize the military power in the central and western regions.
Therefore, Jia Yun should not execute Prince Yiping now.
Making Prince Yiping swear an oath like that and imprisoning him in the palace is what Jia Yun is currently doing to punish Prince Yiping!
…
…
The next day, May 13th, the defense system of Shenjing City had been adjusted and the city of Shenjing was unblocked.
May 16th, four days have passed since Jia Yun punished Prince Yiping.
That morning, Yu Zhu, the former minister of the imperial department, suddenly led a group of palace guards and broke into the Ministry of Internal Affairs on Palace West Road and broke into the office of Prince Yichen, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Master Yu, why are you here suddenly?" Prince Yicheng saw the formation of Yu Zhu and his men, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, but he still deliberately smiled and asked.
"The emperor received a secret report that the prince is seriously corrupt, so he sent me to take down the prince. Please, prince, don't let the guards do anything, so as not to offend the prince too much." Yu Zhu said calmly.
Prince Yicheng suddenly became anxious: "I want to see the emperor!"
Yu Zhu said coldly: "The Emperor doesn't want to see you right now. Please, Your Highness. This is the second time I've said it, and I won't say it a third time."
Prince Yicheng: "..."
After a moment of silence, Prince Yicheng sighed, and immediately "actively" followed Yu Zhu and the guards out of the House of Internal Affairs...
At the same time, Mu Fu and Yu Keping led the Jinyi Army to surround the palace of Prince Yicheng. Following Mu Fu's order, the Jinyi Army began to search the palace...
This time the house was searched, it was still an old rule set by Jia Yun when he was the commander of Jinyi Mansion. You must have clean hands and feet, otherwise the Jinyi Mansion family will not be "served"!
As the search progressed, Mu Fu, Yu Keping and the officers were all shocked...
The inspection lasted until night.
The next day, May 17, Mu Fu came to the palace with the account books compiled overnight. In the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall of Yangxin Hall, he handed the account books to Jia Yun. Jia Yun was a little surprised after reading them.
"Everyone, please take a look!"
After Jia Yun finished speaking, she asked the eunuch to hand over the account book to Prince Zongling Liang of the Zongren Mansion. Prince Liang read it and gave it to Ji Cunxiao. After Ji Cunxiao read it, he handed it to other ministers...
During the circulation process, these princes and ministers were more or less shocked.
Originally, several people present were dissatisfied with Jia Yun's sudden rectification of Prince Yicheng, including Feng Xie, the Minister of Rites.
Because Jia Yun has already punished Prince Yiping, and Prince Zhongshun, Xia Hao, and Xia Huang are still imprisoned, it is not difficult to imagine that they will also be punished, and Xia Yi will also be punished.
There were already five princes, and now Jia Yun suddenly tried to punish Prince Yicheng. Prince Yicheng was one of the first princes and ministers to submit to Jia Yun.
However, after seeing the inspected account books, the dissatisfied people were convinced.
Because this account book is truly astonishing. According to the statistics in the account book, the total value of the property stolen from Prince Yicheng's palace this time exceeded one million taels of silver!
Since the establishment of Jinyi Mansion, many homes have been confiscated, and this time, it is the largest amount of property confiscated by a single person!
The account book was returned to Jia Yun. Jia Yun looked through it again, and then said to everyone:
"I have long heard that Prince Yicheng is involved in corruption. This time I also received relevant secret reports, which is why we conducted this property raid. Originally, I planned that if the amount of property confiscated was not particularly large, even if Yi Cheng
If Prince Cheng is corrupt, I will be merciful, confiscate the proceeds of corruption, and return all other family properties in full. However, there is overwhelming evidence that Prince Yi Cheng is not only corrupt, but also seriously corrupt!"
Prince Yicheng is not a simple person. He is one of the princes that Emperor Kangxing cares about, and he is also a confidant of Emperor Tianzhi. When Emperor Tianzhi won the throne, Prince Yicheng made a lot of contributions. In other words, Prince Yicheng made a lot of contributions when Emperor Tianzhi won the throne.
It's from Emperor Tianzhi's faction.
When Emperor Kangxing was in power, Prince Yicheng was in charge of the Transfer Department and in charge of the national finances. When Emperor Tianzhi was in power, Prince Yicheng became the Minister of Internal Affairs and was in charge of the palace finances.
It would be easy for such a prince to be corrupt.
Prince Yicheng is also very cunning. Although corruption is serious, he is good at covering it up. Even so, such serious corruption will inevitably be leaked. Even Jia Yun has already heard about it.
How could Emperor Tianzhi not know?
Emperor Tianzhi naturally knew about it, but Emperor Tianzhi only knew that Prince Yicheng was corrupt, and did not know that Prince Yicheng's corruption was so serious.
Moreover, Emperor Tianzhi punished many brothers after he ascended the throne, and some of his brothers were even executed. This not only made him controversial, but also made Emperor Kangxing very dissatisfied. Prince Yicheng had made considerable contributions to his seizure of the throne.
.
Therefore, Emperor Tianzhi never punished Prince Yicheng.
However, Emperor Tianzhi was a ruthless person after all, and he always advocated frugality and strict control of corruption. Emperor Tianzhi had a plan, and when he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, relying on this great achievement, he proposed to Emperor Kangxing to punish Prince Yicheng, at least
Prince Yoshinari was dismissed from his position as Minister of Internal Affairs and his house was searched.
Before Emperor Tianzhi could implement this, he was assassinated and died.
After Jia Yun seized the throne, although Prince Yicheng was one of the first princes to submit to him, Jia Yun knew that Prince Yicheng was dissatisfied.
Jia Yun would not be willing to let Prince Yicheng continue to serve as Minister of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs not only manages the palace's finances, but is also equivalent to the emperor's logistics support department. This department has great power. Even the meals of the palace are not included.
keep it.
With such an important official position, Jia Yun would naturally hand it over to someone she trusted and was honest.
Recently, Jia Yun established the Intelligence Department in Jinyi Mansion and integrated Emperor Tianzhi's spy army into the Intelligence Department. Through a spy from Prince Yicheng's Mansion, Jia Yun confirmed that Prince Yicheng was indeed corrupt.
The degree of rot should be quite serious...
So Jia Yun decisively attacked Prince Yicheng and had his house ransacked.
Jia Yun is very satisfied with the current results!
The current property account book, which contains more than one million taels of silver, not only makes Jia Yun's action to rectify Prince Yicheng justifiable, but also allows Jia Yun, the new emperor, to suddenly gain a large amount of property. In addition to the previous
The property left by Emperor Kangxing meant that even if the Jing family had to quell the rebellion, the Qing Dynasty would not be short of silver!
We must thank Emperor Kangxing for leaving so much property!
We must also thank Emperor Tianzhi for raising Prince Yicheng so fat that he left it to Jia Yunzai!
"Minister Yu!" Jia Yun shouted.
"Wei Chen is here!" Yu Zhu said respectfully.
"I have appointed you as the Minister of Internal Affairs, and you will also hold the post of Minister before the Imperial Palace!" Jia Yun said.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!" Yu Zhu said respectfully.
Jia Yun had already planned to appoint Yu Zhu as the Minister of Internal Affairs instead of the Imperial Minister. However, now, Yu Zhu needs to continue to strictly control the Internal Security Department.
