Ying Zheng sat high on it, looking down at Zhao Gao.
"Say it."
"What crime have you committed?"
Zhao Gao still knelt down and his body was trembling slightly.
He bowed his head and said:
"I am guilty."
"The calligraphy treasures I present to Your Majesty are not presented by the craftsmen."
"In fact, it was made by a historian."
"That Shizi has never presented any calligraphy treasures. The craftsman saw that the calligraphy treasures were good, so he forcibly took them from this Shizi."
"Yan Le, who was the Gongcao at the time, was greedy for merit and presented the calligraphy treasure without checking the source carefully. The minister was also confused for a moment and presented it without detailed verification."
"I failed to observe!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Zhao Gao put his hands on the ground and stuck his butt high, his attitude was extremely humble.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a cold look in his eyes.
He said coldly:
"anything else."
Zhao Gao trembled.
Wei Wei said:
"On that day, His Majesty asked me to convey the edict to reward those who contributed ink and to obtain this ink-making technology. I conveyed it truthfully."
"Unexpectedly, when the engineer saw that the reward was so generous, he became greedy and wanted to covet His Majesty's reward. He took advantage of the fact that others were not aware and wanted to forcibly ask for the ink-making technology of the Shizi."
"This engineer failed many times. He became so angry that he wanted to blackmail him directly."
"Fortunately, I was noticed by the engineer who unexpectedly left the city. The engineer quickly stopped me. Only then did I know the whole story. He also quickly controlled the engineer and went to supervise Shi Gaoguan to expose it, and I was able to know the truth.
.”
"I dare not hide it."
"That's why I come to apologize to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
Finished.
Zhao Gao leaned down to the ground, his two legs fighting.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, unable to hide the anger in his eyes.
"Criminal?"
"Is it just a punishment?"
"Now there are officials even in Xianyang who dare to test the law, and they still rob it in public. In your eyes, are Da Qin's laws and regulations just for decoration?"
"You, Zhao Gao, are proficient in laws and regulations."
"Before I presented the ink, I didn't believe that you were guilty of negligence."
"But you still offered it."
"If the historian hadn't refused this time and something went wrong along the way, I might have been kept in the dark, and I wouldn't have known that Mo was so dirty."
"Zhao Gao."
"You disappoint me."
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically.
Horrified:
"I know I was wrong."
"I was really confused for a moment."
"I saw that Your Majesty worked hard every day to review the memorials, and every time the ink ran out, Your Majesty felt unhappy. I really feel sorry for Your Majesty. It happened that the calligraphy presented by the workman was of extremely good quality. I was temporarily confused and did not examine it carefully.
I just want to please His Majesty."
"minister......"
"I am ashamed to trust Your Majesty."
"But I can assure your Majesty that except for this time, I have never done anything against your Majesty's wishes in the past, and I would not dare to do these things."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Zhao Gao grabbed the ground with his head, his face full of sadness.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with cold eyes and said indifferently: "Let this be the case. That Shizi is not a 100-year-old man. Since he is unwilling to donate, I will not force him."
"The engineer."
"As an official of the Qin Dynasty, if you know the law and break the law, you should be punished by one degree."
"Although the engineer exposed it in time, if he had looked carefully at that time, this farce would not have happened at all, and everything would have been handled according to the law."
"As for you..."
"As the official officer of CRRC, you should have fulfilled your duties, but as a result, you not only neglected to observe, but also ignored the laws and regulations in order to flatter your superiors. You should be severely punished. I am abolishing your position as the official officer of CRRC, and the penalty is false. You will be kept on probation for half a year, and you will also be fined for half a year.
.”
"If there is a next time."
"You just go to Lishan and become a judge."
Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly.
He quickly said:
"I obey the order."
"I will never do it again in the future."
Ying Zheng frowned and brushed his sleeves.
"Go down."
"Go to the Censor's Mansion to register yourself."
Zhao Gao bowed and said:
"I accept my order."
"I will take my leave now."
Zhao Gao lowered his head and retreated.
Walk out of the palace door.
His back was already soaked.
Zhao Gao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was about to collapse. He thought that he would be severely punished, but he did not expect that the punishment would be so severe.
It was almost immediately scrapped.
Fortunately, His Majesty remembered his old friendship, and although he abolished his position as CRRC Fu Ling, he still allowed him to remain in the post for inspection, just as a 'fake' CRRC Fu Ling.
But he still kept his position after all.
and.
He heard it.
The First Emperor thought of demoting him to Mount Li.
If he is really demoted to Lishan Mountain, he will be completely away from the court, and everything he has worked hard on over the years will come to nothing.
This is absolutely unacceptable to him.
Zhao Gao turned around.
I took a look at the majestic Xianyang Palace.
Turn around and leave.
He is going to the Yushi Mansion to deliver the order.
He wanted to see the Xianmo case concluded in person.
otherwise.
He was uneasy.
If His Majesty were to let His Majesty know that I had something to hide, I am afraid that I would not be able to keep my position as the Commander of the Zhongche Mansion, and would even be hated by His Majesty.
Then it’s really all over!
Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Gao's apology did not affect Ying Zheng.
As usual, he opened the bamboo slips and started reviewing the memorials. However, when he picked up the pen and started writing some ink, he frowned slightly when he saw the clear ink in the inkstone.
This ink...
Dirty!
Ying Zheng stopped writing and said outside the palace:
"Here comes someone."
"Change the ink, change the pen!"
After the eunuch changed his pen, ink and inkstone, Ying Zheng continued to write pen and ink, and began the daily process of reviewing memorials.
Everything is as before.
the other side.
After Zhao Gao issued the order, Yu Shide quickly began to examine the case.
According to the normal process, the set of procedures should be carried out in order, namely, "Liu Zhi", "Yuan Shu", "Xun", "髫", and "Lunu". However, under the pressure of "His Majesty's Order", everything was simplified.
With the help of 'witnesses' and 'various materials', the case that originally took several days to be concluded was read out in public in just one day.
He was also directly convicted.
Dispose of officials.
If you are patient, you will be punished with two armors.
As for the second beggar application, it was simply ignored.
After seeing the filing of the second file, Zhao Gao left with satisfaction, and Yan Le followed closely behind him.
Yan Le was reduced by two levels and fined a shield.
However, compared with Er, his punishment was already very light. At least he was still an official and was not punished to do hard labor.
Looking at Yan Le who looked scared, Zhao Gao said coldly:
"Scared?"
"The laws of Da Qin are all about ending punishment with punishment."
"As long as you break the law, you will be dealt with severely, not to mention that Your Majesty also specifically requested that the crime be increased by one level. However, the punishment of this engineer should actually be punished on you."
"He just took the blame for you!"
"Under the law, there is actually no difference between you and me."
"If you really want the law to be extraneous to you, the only thing you can do is to keep trying to climb up, step by step, until you can dominate the country, cover the sky with one hand, and control everything that is not in your favor.
The news was hidden with one hand."
"And that is also my goal, Zhao Gao!"
"Yan Le."
"Go back and reflect on it."
"If it happens again, I may not protect you again."
