Chapter 437 I believe what you said is true! (Please subscribe)
While the outside world was running around because of Wang Ben's awakening, Yi Zheng took a memorial and went to Xianyang Palace.
After waiting for a while, we entered the palace.
Yi said:
"I bow to your Majesty."
Ying Zheng did not raise his head and said coldly: "Is the case finished?"
Yi said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"The leak case has been handled."
"Zhao Gao and his party members all confessed their guilt and were executed in the market yesterday."
Ying Zheng slightly raised his forehead.
Said: "Send me the memorial."
Yi bowed slightly and raised the memorial in his hand above his head. Soon, a eunuch stepped over. The eunuch took the memorial from his hand and carefully presented it to the case.
Ying Zheng glanced at the memorial but had no intention of opening it.
At this time.
Yi knelt down directly on the ground.
Trembling:
"I...I am also here to say goodbye."
"I am getting old and my body is getting weak. I originally thought I could still support it, but after dealing with this matter, I feel completely exhausted. I have always been trusted by your Majesty. I am extremely grateful in my heart. If I continue,
, I am afraid that I will fail your Majesty's trust. Your Majesty is dedicated to the world. If I cause trouble in political affairs due to my negligence, I will probably die. I sincerely request your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."
It's quiet all around.
The hall was as quiet as cicadas, without a single sound.
Ying Zheng did not raise his head, and continued to review the memorial in his hand, as if he had not heard anything, and said calmly: "How is Zhang Cang now?"
Yi's body trembled.
Trembling:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Zhang Cang, Yushi, occasionally caught a cold the day before and is currently recuperating at home. The matter has been reported to the Yushi Mansion. The Imperial Hospital has also sent people to examine the condition and prescribe several doses of medicine. It should not take long for him to recover."
Ying Zheng slightly raised his forehead.
He raised his eyes and said:
"It's fine, it's nothing serious."
"I originally wanted to place a heavy responsibility on you, but it's better for you. One of you has been infected with the cold and is now bedridden, unable to even move. The other came to me and told me that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown. You guys are really unwilling to help.
Let me share some of the work."
"and......"
"If I remember correctly, you are only in your early fifties, right?"
"This is the time when experience and ability are at their best, so why should we call it quits and return home?"
"If even fifty people have to resign, won't the court have to withdraw more than half of it?"
"Prime Minister Li Si is nearly seventy years old. He is doing very well in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has not seen any mistakes from him. Compared with him, you are very young. Why do you think of retiring? Is it because?
Am I mean and ungrateful to you? In your hearts, am I just a wolf, tiger, and leopard? So that you don’t dare to stay with me any longer?”
Hear the words.
Yi's expression changed drastically.
He said in panic:
"I am terrified."
"I have absolutely no such idea."
"Your Majesty's magnanimity is well known to the world, but who dares to say that your Majesty is mean and ungrateful? I made mistakes back then. How could I continue to serve in the court without your Majesty's trust? Your Majesty's kindness to me is difficult for me to repay even if I serve you for ten thousand years.
Although I have the intention to serve His Majesty for thousands of years, my health is really difficult to maintain."
"I have been suffering from hidden diseases since I was on the battlefield in my early years. I have been having attacks before, but now they are more frequent. When the weather is cold, my legs are shaking uncontrollably."
"I am from a humble background. To be trusted by His Majesty is already a gift from God. How can I be compared with Prime Minister Li Si?"
"I don't want to serve your Majesty."
"It's just that my body is really overwhelmed."
"It is true that I am only fifty years old, but my ears, temples, hair and beard have long been gray, and I have hidden illnesses. If I continue to hold an important position, isn't it just making the political affairs of the Qin Dynasty a trivial matter? The Qin Dynasty is your majesty's hard work, how can I dare to seek personal gain for it? What if I neglect my duty?
, and let His Majesty’s reputation be damaged, I will die in all my life.”
"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."
Yi kowtowed heavily.
This kowtow was very powerful.
A loud kowtow could be heard throughout the hall.
Ying Zheng looked intently.
Yi, who originally had black hair and beard, now had silver hair covering the top of his head, and deep wrinkles could be seen on his forehead, which was exposed by the tight bun.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but look moved.
He asked: "Why do you look so old?"
Yi Gongshou said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"My ambition to follow His Majesty and develop his great ambitions has never dissipated."
"It will never change!"
"It's just that in these years of ups and downs, my body has gradually become unable to bear it. I have been very scared recently, lest I can't keep up with His Majesty. However, I have gradually discovered that no matter how hard I try and how hard I fight, my body is becoming more and more unable to cope with it. The world is right.
When I am in charge of employment, I have won the trust of His Majesty, and I should have taken care of His Majesty's worries, but at this time I proposed to retire, which is really inappropriate."
"Although I am passionate about serving the country, I dare not lose my mind."
"The founding of the Qin Dynasty was not easy. How can you allow a withered person like me to continue to sit in a high position? Isn't this a waste of your Majesty's heart and trust? How can I be such an ungrateful person?"
"I stayed awake for several nights because of this."
"finally......"
"I have suppressed the restlessness in my heart. After repeated consideration for Your Majesty and for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, I have made the current decision with rational thinking. I am fully aware that I am ashamed of Your Majesty, and I really dare not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness again."
"I am really ashamed!!!"
Yi lowered his head, his eyes full of loneliness.
It's quiet all around.
a long time.
Ying Zheng sighed softly and said sadly: "I was too harsh on you. I only wanted you to solve my problems for me, but I didn't take your physical condition into consideration. I was negligent."
"I really don't want you to go."
"But you have said it so sincerely. It would be inappropriate for me to try to stay any longer. You have followed me for so many years and have been doing your best. You have paid enough for me and Great Qin. I really don't want to. You continue to hold on to me."
I really can’t bear to deal with political affairs while I’m sick.”
"in this way."
"I will obey you!"
Hear the words.
Yi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Trembling:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."
"After your resignation, Your Majesty has to deal with more government affairs."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am unfaithful!"
"I am ashamed to trust Your Majesty."
Between words.
Yi was already crying.
Ying Zheng sighed, put the memorial submitted by Yi in front of him, opened it and read it carefully. After reading it, he nodded and said: "You handled this case very cleanly and clearly. Among all the ministers in the court, you can let me
You are the only one who is so reassured."
"You are retreating now."
"Now that the case is closed and so clear, let's leave it at that."
Yi quickly said:
"I am deeply grateful for your Majesty's trust."
Ying Zheng put the memorial aside and seemed to remember something, and asked: "If I remember correctly, Ying Sinian participated in the trial of this case?"
Yi's face looked slightly dull.
Bowed and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"The Tenth Young Master is indeed involved."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "What part of the case did he participate in? And how much specific knowledge does he have about this case?"
Yi Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He said nervously:
"I and Zhang Cang Yushi didn't have much idea about the investigation of this case at first. It was the Tenth Young Master who suggested using 'deceit' on the officials. The Tenth Young Master has used strange tricks to solve cases in the past. After thinking about it, I agreed with the Tenth Young Master's idea.
, so he used some facts to deceive some officials, and Zhao Gao fell into the trap."
"Zhao Gao saw that the matter was exposed and wanted to escape at night, but was eventually intercepted by his ministers."
"Although we had some evidence during the trial of Zhao Gao and his party members, some of it was faked after all, and it was not certain that Zhao Gao could plead guilty. When we reached a deadlock, the tenth son came forward to question Zhao Gao, but he only solved the case.
The method was created by the Tenth Young Master himself and no outsiders were allowed to visit, so when Zhao Gao was being interrogated, there were actually only the Tenth Young Master and Zhao Gao in the prison."
"The result was just as the Tenth Young Master said, Zhao Gao actually confessed directly."
"The ministers and others still had some doubts at first, so they immediately interrogated Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao confessed to what he had confessed to. Only then did the ministers and others finally convict Zhao Gao."
"This is the part that the Tenth Young Master is involved in."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Finished.
Yi was already sweating profusely.
But he didn't dare to make the slightest move, let alone reach out to wipe it.
Ying Zheng looked at Yi with cold eyes.
He said coldly: "According to your words, Ying Sinian was almost involved in the entire interrogation? And you don't even know what he said to Zhao Gao specifically?"
Yi said:
"I asked Zhao Gao later."
"Zhao Gao said that he and the Tenth Young Master only talked about the matters in the love letter, and nothing else was involved. As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good. I think that there is no need for Zhao Gao's dying body to be here.
Lie about things."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions, just stared at Yi coldly.
a long time.
Cai said calmly: "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors from the outside world that Zhao Gao is involved in the dispute between Ying Sinian and Hu Hai. Now it seems that they are all groundless."
"Do you agree?"
Big drops of cold sweat fell from Yi's forehead.
Trembling:
"I think this is completely nonsense."
"The Tenth Young Master and the Youngest Young Master are brothers, how could such a ridiculous dispute happen?"
"The rumors from the outside are really fallacious!"
"I think so too." Ying Zheng said calmly: "Since you are determined to retire, I will not keep you longer, but the functions of Skynet cannot be let go. Minister of the DPRK, who do you think can take over this position? Or
Is there a suitable candidate in Skynet? But it doesn’t matter.”
Yi frowned slightly.
He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The person in the court...who I think is suitable should be Shi Lu, but the official position of Tianwang Order, for Shi Lu, can be regarded as a rise and fall secretly.
I’m afraid I won’t be willing.”
"At present, there is indeed a suitable candidate in Tianwang. This person's name is Tao She, who is currently the Prime Minister of Tianwang. Tao She is a descendant of Uncle Tao of Zhou Dynasty. This person made a plan when he destroyed Chu and Yan.
He has many military exploits, he is meticulous and careful in his work, and his character has always been upright, so I think he can be entrusted with a more important role."
"Tao She?" Ying Zheng raised his head slightly and said, "Since you recommend him so, then it's him."
Yi quickly said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Ying Zhengdao:
"You go down first to do the handover of political affairs."
"After Tao She takes over completely, I will allow you to withdraw."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yi's face was filled with joy. Then he bowed respectfully and said, "I take my leave."
Finished.
Yi tremblingly got up from the ground, and then retreated respectfully. Just as he was about to step out of the door of the hall, Ying Zheng's voice rang in his ears again: "I believe what you said is true."
