Chapter 313 Who can prove that Zhao Gao is really in Yong Palace?!
Ansi.
The official office that Yi is currently in charge of.
For more than half a month, he has been busy reviewing the health department and has hardly had a good rest. Now that the trial is finally completed, everything has been summarized on a bamboo slip.
aside.
Si Cheng looked at the bamboo slips and wondered: "Censor, Wei Si has explained so much, but he is vague about what happened eleven years ago. What happened eleven years ago? So much so that Wei Si is confused.
I dare not speak out."
"He's almost dead."
"And there are no relatives at home."
"Logically speaking, if he sincerely wants to confess, he should explain everything clearly. The confessions we have obtained may not be complete."
"The lower official believes that the rigorous trial should continue!"
Hear the words.
Yi's face darkened.
He glanced at his official. This person was not from Guanzhong, but was an official selected by the First Emperor from six places during the last official transfer. Therefore, 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 was still at war with the six regions. As a subject of another country, how could he easily know what was happening in Xianyang?
Sicheng didn't know.
Doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Through this period of investigation, he had already guessed some clues. Therefore, even if he knew that there were flaws in Wei Si's confession, he did not dare to interrogate again, because once the big scandal that shocked Guanzhong was involved, the matter would be even more serious.
Big.
It won't end in a while.
Without the First Emperor's consent, how could he dare to conduct a thorough investigation?
Yi pondered for a moment and decided to remind the adjutant a few times. They had worked together for more than half a year and got along very harmoniously. If Sicheng had offended His Majesty without knowing it, it would be an inexplicable disaster.
Yi said:
"Be careful what you say!"
"What we are investigating is the matter of 'suspended death' in the health department, not another case. And the matter you just asked about, I suggest you erase it from your mind, don't pursue it anymore, don't investigate it, let alone inquire about it.
, go and ask.”
"That's a restricted area in the court!"
"This matter is very involved. Let alone you, not even me, or even other court officials dare to mention it easily. If you are not careful, you will commit a heinous crime."
"You should be careful!"
Sicheng was startled, his eyes full of doubt.
He is very aware of Yi's status in the court. Although Yi is still named Yushi, his authority is actually no less than that of Jiuqing. Moreover, he once held the position of Jiuqing, but later he was involved in some things.
Even though he was demoted by the First Emperor, he was still highly regarded.
However, even an important court official like Yi did not dare to talk about what happened eleven years ago in depth, and he was even afraid. How could he not be upset?
He quickly bowed and said:
"Thank you, Censor, for informing me. I almost made a big mistake."
"I will be careful in my words and deeds after I leave office, and I will never mention relevant matters again."
"Please supervise the censor!"
Yi Weiwei's forehead.
Ning Sheng said:
"Don't ask, don't mention it."
"You will know it when you should know it. If you know it when you shouldn't know it, it will become a 'sin'!"
"I will go and submit the love letter to His Majesty, and you will stay at the official office to continue sorting it out."
"No." Sicheng responded.
Yi took the collected bamboo slips and walked quickly towards Xianyang Palace.
Sicheng stood there, his eyes turning slightly.
He was able to be promoted because he had a clear mind. Yidu reminded him so clearly. How could he not have guessed that what happened eleven years ago might have involved His Majesty, so that all the officials dared not speak out.
But he was still a little surprised.
Wei Si was already a fugitive back then.
How could you alarm His Majesty?
Moreover, it could silence the ministers of the court. What is even more bizarre is that Wei Si was not exposed at that time. That is to say, Wei Si did something that might embarrass the First Emperor without revealing his identity. After it was completed,
, and even continues to be at large.
Is this really possible?
Sicheng looked confused, feeling very unrealistic.
but.
He didn't dare to think about it in detail, so he quickly shook his head, got rid of the random thoughts in his mind, and began to organize his thoughts.
the other side.
Yi has already arrived outside Xianyang Palace.
Following the eunuch's "announcement", Yi respectfully entered the palace.
As soon as you enter the palace.
Yi hurriedly said: "I see you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng waved his hands in a gesture of courtesy and said calmly: "Has Wei Si's case been found out?"
Yi said:
"Report to Your Majesty."
"In the past half month, Wei Si has been answering almost all questions. I have compiled all the crimes committed by Wei Si, and I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look."
Finished.
Yi raised the bamboo slip in his hand high above his head.
Soon, a eunuch trotted over, took the bamboo slip, and then respectfully delivered it to Ying Zheng's big eucalyptus. Ying Zheng did not open it and said coldly: "I understand."
"Who released him privately back then?"
Yi said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"This is Yangquan Jun Michen."
"At that time, Mi Chen was the censor Zhongcheng and was in charge of the prison, so he found someone similar in stature to Wei Si to take his place. With the help of other officials, he was able to fake the truth."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
"Mi Chen?"
"He is not so bold."
"If it were Mi Rong back then, maybe I would still believe it, but Mi Chen? He's just a relative. He can't make the final decision on the private affairs of the guards! It's not his turn to make the final decision."
Yi's face changed slightly.
He is from Guanzhong.
Naturally, we know who the First Emperor is referring to.
It is the Queen Mother Huayang.
Mi Chen's sister.
At that time, the First Emperor used some power tactics to play with various forces. He borrowed the hands of the Queen Mother of Huayang and Lu Buwei to eradicate Cheng Yu, Lao Du and others one by one. When the Queen Mother of Huayang, who had overwhelming power in the government, came to her senses,
The First Emperor had completely taken control of the royal power, and the Queen Mother Huayang frequently tried to counterattack and regain power, but they all failed.
So much so that he was immediately kicked out of the court.
The fact that Wei Si pretended to be true was obviously the work of the Empress Dowager Huayang. She wanted to use this to win Wei Si over, and then win her over into Xiu. Lao Du did not have the power to be exposed, but these things were not enough to be justified to outsiders.
Yi was too scared to speak.
Ying Zheng didn't care too much.
And said:
"These things will eventually pass."
"Since Wei Si said it was Mi Chen, then it must be Mi Chen."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yi quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Ying Zheng continued: "Except for Mi Chen, are there any officials involved who are still alive?"
Yi said: "All those recruited by Wei Si have passed away."
Ying Zheng sneered.
Obviously not satisfied with this result.
However, he also knew that the reason why Wei Si recruited people so happily was because he knew that all the people involved were dead, so he was so careless.
Ying Zheng said indifferently:
"I don't care whether they are dead or alive."
"Since they dare to make fun of me and the people of the world in public, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Any official involved in the scandal of that year."
"All three tribes are barbarians!"
"Their relatives have been at large for more than 20 years, and they should be punished by the law."
"Who did Wei Si come into contact with in the past? Are there people in the court who have interacted with Wei Si in the past, or have received favors from Wei Si."
"You tell me everything!"
"I also want to see how many ministers in the dynasty have double-minded intentions!"
Ying Zheng's tone was very calm.
But when it fell into Yi's ears, he felt a tremor in his heart, and said quickly: "I have compiled the love documents of Wei Si before his execution. There are indeed several people in the court who have received favors from Wei Si, and there are no less than five or six people who have followed Wei Si."
We have met before."
"Those who have received favors include Yan Guan Li Qian, Shi Zhong Chen Sheng, Taicang Ling... Those who have intersected with Weisi include Zhao Gao, the Ling of Zhongche Mansion, Zhang Cheng, the Yongxiang Ling, and the young concubine...
..."
Hearing this personal name, Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold.
These people are all government officials.
immediately.
Ying Zheng noticed one of them.
Most of the officials involved were serving in Jiuqing and rarely reported political matters to him alone.
Only one person.
Zhao Gao!
Ying Zheng asked: "Tell me about Zhao Gao."
Yi said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I have investigated Wei Si's files. When Wei Si was the Yongxiang Order, he promoted Zhao Gao and several others from the Hidden Palace."
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng seemed to have remembered something.
Heading to:
"It does happen."
"I remember 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 laws. It was undoubtedly a waste for such a person to stay in the hidden palace, so I sent Zhao Gao to me.
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 outside the palace: "Come, bring Zong Zhengxuan."
soon.
Ying Teng then appeared in the palace.
Ying Zheng sat high on it, looked at Ying Teng coldly, and asked: "Zong Zheng, you must have heard about the incident eleven years ago."
Ying Teng's face slightly condensed.
He quickly said:
"I have indeed heard something."
Ying Zheng continued: "If I remember correctly, after what happened 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: "I'm asking you now, where were Zhao Gao and others on the day of the accident?!"
Ying Teng thought about it for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao said he was in Yong Temple at that time, and Master Hu Hai testified for him, so I did not investigate further. Could it be that your Majesty suspected that Zhao Gao was lying at that time?"
Ying Zheng said indifferently: "Other than Hu Hai, who else can prove that Zhao Gao is in Yong Palace?"
Ying Teng shook his head and said, "There are no other witnesses."
Finished.
There was a solemn look in Ying Teng's eyes, and he bowed and said, "I will go down and conduct a strict investigation."
Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and said:
"No."
"Things have been going on for so long, and some things cannot be found out. But since Hu Hai has testified for him, I will believe him for the time being."
Ying Zheng looked at Yi and continued: "Investigate the people you found carefully. I don't care how deep they hide or how tight they are. I just want to know whether they have anything to do with Wei Si."
Making peace in secret."
Yi quickly said:
"I am determined to live up to your majesty's trust."
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 a man with deep knowledge in the city. He has told almost every detail about some things that are easy to find out. But what did he say to Qin Luoheng and what did he give Qin Luoheng?"
What was written on Luo Heng's bamboo slip has not been revealed until now."
