The faces of the two dismissed doctors changed greatly. Unlike other yamen, the Shenxing Department was special in that most of the officials there were chamberlains.
This also means that once they lose their official positions, their status can be said to plummet, and some may even be driven to the cold palace.
When the two chamberlains received the imperial edict, their faces were gloomy and they felt filled with regret.
They originally thought that the family of Prince Rong and Princess Wei was extremely powerful, and their only daughter, Princess Qionghua, had repeatedly set a precedent and held important positions with the emperor.
If the emperor knew that they might rebel in the future, he might not trust them so much anymore.
Yuan Suijun's family all had titles, and each held real power and fiefdom. Many people in the court were jealous and felt that the couple were blocking everyone's way forward.
Because of this, the two doctors submitted Pang Suxin's first confession after accepting bribes from other ministers.
Anyway, these are what Pang Suxin said himself, and they were not forced into submission. If the emperor does not believe this confession, it is also Pang Suxin's fault. It has nothing to do with them and cannot be implicated in them. Who would have thought that the emperor could see what was in their hearts?
Nine, deprive them of their official positions without hesitation.
The chamberlain Geng Hai glanced at the two men, his eyes flashing with a hint of contempt.
What they did was too contemptuous of the emperor, and even more contemptuous of the status of Prince Rong and the princess in His Majesty's heart.
It was precisely because of Prince Rong's frankness that he sent Pang Suxin over without any scruples. If it were another minister, he would definitely have tried to get more things out of Pang Suxin, keep her by his side, and take advantage of her.
She gets information.
The two chamberlains were quickly dragged away. As the chief ministers of the Shenxing Division, they had many secrets in their hands, and now there was a tendency of betrayal. No matter how merciful the emperor was on weekdays, he would not be able to let them escape unscathed.
After the chamberlain Geng Hai read the first confession, he burned it and said coldly: "Since she still has the energy to lie, let's boil her for a few days first, and then use other methods."
Pang Suxin in prison did not know that what awaited her was a life worse than death.
She was lying on the ground, looking haggard, but her eyes showed joy.
After being sent to this place by the couple in person, Pang Suxin stopped thinking about Yuan Suijun and started to hate them.
Although she was so miserable in her previous life, they did not sympathize with her at all. Instead, they wanted to help her enemies. In this life, Zhuang Qian can even marry Shangguan Shaohuai as his official wife.
Why should she be tortured in prison while her enemies could live a good life that made her jealous?
Since she is having a hard time, Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun can't even hope for a better life.
So she was still holding back at first, but later she pretended that she couldn't bear the torture and started to utter "truth".
She deliberately said that Prince Rong in the previous life took advantage of the emperor's serious illness to modify the ingredients of the medicine, causing the emperor to become ill. She said that the couple relied on the trust of the new emperor to amass money and accept bribes, making the Manchu Dynasty the official voice of their Yuan family.
He deposed the young emperor, and finally arranged an assassination to bring the new emperor Rong Zhao to death.
In the end, Prince Rong usurped the throne and ascended the throne, changing the dynasty.
She didn't believe that the emperor could bear these things.
I'm afraid it won't be long before she can see the couple here.
While Pang Suxin was thinking about Su Yueling's unlucky situation, Geng Hai, the new doctor of the Shenxing Division, came in.
When Pang Suxin saw someone coming, she immediately put away the color on her face and showed a fearful and uneasy expression, "I, I have already told you everything I remember."
Geng Hai chuckled, "Since you said Prince Rong rebelled, who is his accomplice?"
"How did he usurp the throne? What was the time and place?"
"By the way, I will ask you every once in a while. If it is slightly different from what I said before, then I will burn it on you."
The iron beside him was burning red and emitting heat.
Pang Suxin was so frightened that her pupils were wide open. She was very happy when she said it just now, but she basically made it up. She only remembered the general content and could not remember the details.
The hot iron reflected her bloodless face.
Although it was Geng Hai's first time as a doctor in the torture division, he had sent people in many times before and was familiar with all kinds of torture methods.
Pang Suxin stayed up for three days. During these three days, she didn't even have a chance to close her eyes and rest. Not only did she suffer from a severe headache, but she was also beaten several times because the details she told did not match. Her body was covered with burn wounds, which hurt her so much.
I wish my life would be worse than death.
The torture of the past few days was completely incomparable to the past few days.
She was not a strong-willed person to begin with, and her heart was quickly broken.
She regretted that she had not cherished the opportunity after her rebirth and had not used the information she knew to increase her strength. Instead, she had foolishly bumped into Prince Rong and Princess Wei, and ended up like this.
She was tortured until her consciousness became blurred and she had no strength to make up new lies. When being tortured, she could only subconsciously tell the things she remembered from her previous life.
She didn't understand, even though she had to do it all over again, how could the ending be worse than in her previous life? God was unfair.
From the beginning to the end, Geng Hai was either present in person or one of his confidants was present.
Since the two doctors were taken away, the Shenxing Department has been reorganized again, and some suspects have been replaced. But even so, Geng Hai could not be more cautious.
After the fifth day of the first lunar month, Geng Hai, who had emptied Pang Suxin's stomach, went to see the emperor with several pages of confessions.
As for Pang Suxin, who was lying on the ground and her breath was as weak as a candle in the wind, he ignored her.
The content of Pang Suxin's confession is really amazing. Who would have thought that the throne in the previous life would fall into the hands of Rong Hai?
Nowadays, Rong Hai is a well-known infertile useless person and can no longer make any waves.
Rong Ji read this confession for a full quarter of an hour, holding the thin pieces of paper tightly in his hands.
Many of the above contents overlapped with the dream he and the queen had once had.
really.
The reason for all this lies with Yueling.
Without Yueling, Suijun would have died early, and he would not have been able to wait until the day when his life experience would come to light.
Without Yueling, the queen and he would have no children. They were deceived by Prince Kang's palace and had to adopt the clan's son. And he would also die young because of being assassinated. How could he create the prosperous age of Great Xia and bring all the nations to court.
He knew very well that he was able to avoid that disaster because of the early warning in the dream.
Without Yue Ling, his only daughter Wen Min in his previous life was forced to marry, and his last trace of blood was completely cut off. His queen and other concubines all lived in misery in their later years.
Thanks to Yueling.
He placed the pieces of paper next to the candlelight and watched them turn into ashes little by little.
He said calmly: "Send a glass of wine and a piece of white silk to the second girl of the Pang family."
Rong Ji paused for a moment and said: "Give Princess Wei an Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book."
