Jin Tianwei leaned on the dragon chair, raised his neck, and stared at the roof in a daze.
Marquis Xuanwu must be dealt with. After all, the evidence is conclusive, and with so many people watching, it is impossible for Jin Tianwei to do favoritism. However, how to deal with Marquis Xuanwu has puzzled Jin Tianwei. Someone just sent Jin Tianwei an investigation report.
, it clearly lists the facts of Xuanwuhou's corruption and perversion of the law over the years. He has killed more than a dozen people, all of whom were innocent people. In recent years, many people have gone to the government to sue Xuanwuhou, but the government has not accepted it at all.
, causing people to have nowhere to redress their grievances.
To describe Xuanwuhou in four words, it would be "notorious".
According to the crimes committed by Xuanwu Hou, it would not be an exaggeration to be sentenced to death. However, if Xuanwu Hou's head is really cut off, Concubine Hua will definitely be heartbroken, and she may even do something extreme. Jin Tianwei is really
He didn't want to hurt Concubine Hua's heart. This was what troubled Jin Tianwei the most. If Concubine Hua was not involved, Jin Tianwei wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
If Marquis Xuanwu is punished lightly, Prince Long and others will definitely not give up, and the court will definitely be in chaos.
This won’t work, and that won’t work either. What should we do to satisfy both parties?
Although Jin Tianwei is extremely smart, he is also stumped at this moment. The only thing he can do now is to delay time. If he can delay it for a day, he will come up with a solution sooner or later.
"We must think of a safe way." Jin Tianwei said secretly.
…
Li Kafa, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, was arrested, and several officials were also imprisoned. They were all arrested because they were involved in the case of Marquis Xuanwu.
Li Kaifa felt so aggrieved that he couldn't express it in words. He thought that he would be able to prosper in the future if he caught a ride on the two big ships of the Minister of Justice and the Marquis of Xuanwu. Unexpectedly, he was arrested just a few days before he was happy.
It was said that he was going to die for rebelling against him, but Li Fafa was frightened.
In order to protect himself, Li Kafa had no choice but to betray the Minister of Punishment. He put all the responsibility on the Minister of Punishment and said that he was being threatened. He was just a small minister and did not dare to refuse the Shangshu of Punishment.
Although Li Kafa took the initiative to confess his crime, he still failed to escape the sanction of the law in the end. Of course, this is a story for later, so I won’t go into it for now.
Prince Long, Prince Tiger and others constantly put pressure on Jin Tianwei, asking Jin Tianwei to punish Xuanwuhou quickly. According to the opinions of Prince Long and others, they wanted to make Hou Xuanwu lose his head. Prince Long and others stated the law and Xuanwuhou had committed the crime.
The crime should indeed be punished by death according to the law. Prince Long and others stood on the commanding heights of the law and severely suppressed Jin Tianwei, making Jin Tianwei extremely aggrieved.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Concubine Hua couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately rushed to the Tai Chi Palace to find Jin Tianwei to intercede. No matter how smart a woman is, there are times when she loses control of herself. Concubine Hua is in this situation at the moment. In this world, there is only Marquis Xuanwu.
One person can make Concubine Hua very upset.
"Your Majesty..." As soon as Concubine Hua opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Jin Tianwei.
"Are you here to intercede with Marquis Xuanwu?" Jin Tianwei asked expressionlessly.
"Yes..." Concubine Hua Guifei nodded honestly.
"Go back." Jin Tianwei waved his hand.
"Ah?" Concubine Hua was stunned: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Go back and wait for the news." Jin Tianwei didn't want to talk too much to Concubine Hua, let alone get angry with Concubine Hua.
Seeing Jin Tianwei's tired look, Concubine Hua felt a little distressed. She didn't want to embarrass Jin Tianwei, but... she only had this one younger brother... Alas... Concubine Hua sighed helplessly, and then left the Tai Chi Hall in a daze.
.
"No matter how smart a woman is, she sometimes gets confused." Jin Tianwei sighed softly.
…
Under the pressure of the ministers, Jin Tianwei finally made a verdict.
Xuanwu Hou Hua Guangming was sentenced to twenty years in prison and all his family property was confiscated.
Feng Shugen, the Minister of Punishment, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison and all his family property was confiscated.
Li Kafa, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, was sentenced to ten years in prison and had half of his family property confiscated.
In addition to these three people, some officials were punished to varying degrees, and a major case that shocked the entire secret realm came to an end.
Prince Long, Prince Tiger and others were dissatisfied with Jin Tianwei's verdict and believed that Jin Tianwei intended to protect Marquis Xuanwu and was really not a wise king. Finally, Prince Long and others wrote a joint memorial begging Jin Tianwei to re-sentence Marquis Xuanwu, but Jin Tianwei refused.
However, Prince Long and others did not give up and continued to put pressure on Jin Tianwei.
At the same time, Concubine Hua was also dissatisfied with Jin Tianwei. She believed that Jin Tianwei's punishment of Marquis Xuanwu was a bit harsh. She had no objection to the confiscation of his family property, but Concubine Hua was not satisfied with the sentence of twenty years in prison for Marquis Xuanwu. What is a prison?
The place? It was dirty, dilapidated, cold, and unsafe. Marquis Xuanwu had been weak since he was a child and loved to get sick. He could not bear the hardships of prison.
Prince Long and others were dissatisfied, and Concubine Hua was also dissatisfied. As for Xuanwu Hou himself, he was probably complaining all over the place. Jin Tianwei had already made the biggest concession. This was the best way he had thought of so far, but what he didn't expect was
, everyone on both sides was dissatisfied, and came to complain to him, causing trouble for him, which made Jin Tianwei very angry.
When Concubine Hua came to plead for mercy for the sixth time, Jin Tianwei finally couldn't help but exploded. He slammed the table and glared at Concubine Hua: "Are you not done yet? Hua Susu, I've been tolerant enough to you.
Oh, please don’t mistake my tolerance for cowardice!”
"emperor……"
"Shut up! Hua Susu, I've treated you well over the years, haven't I? As a concubine, you can compete with the queen. What you say as a concubine is more effective than the queen. The palace where you live as a concubine is better than the Taiji where I live.
The palace is not far behind, and your brother, how did he, an ignorant guy, become the Marquis of Xuanwu? Your brother always gets into trouble, and who keeps helping him clean up the aftermath? It’s me! Your sister
Everything the brothers have was given by me. Without me, would you two be as brilliant as you are now?"
"..."
"Hua Susu, I have been extremely kind to you two siblings. Especially to you, I really like you. No matter what requests you have, I will try my best to satisfy you. And your brother, without my help, he would still be
What a scoundrel... But how did you siblings repay me? Your brother has done a lot of evil, not only wasting human life, but also using illegal means to make money wantonly. Go listen on the street and see how the people scold your brother? And you,
Not only did you not understand me, but you also put more pressure on me. Do you know that I have been suffering from insomnia these days? I can't even eat now!"
"Your Majesty, I..."
"I have really tried my best. Although I am the emperor, I can't do whatever I want. If nothing else, the Dragon Prince and his gang have created a lot of pressure on me. If I don't deal with your brother seriously, they will
I will definitely not give up..."
"I understand, I understand, and I also know that I shouldn't bother the emperor, but I just can't help it. I'm just such a little brother." Concubine Hua couldn't help the sadness in her heart and burst into tears.
"If you make a mistake, you must be punished. This is an eternal law." Jin Tianwei softened his tone: "According to the mistakes your brother has committed, even if he is executed by Lingchi, it is not an exaggeration. I do it for your sake.
It was only in order to save his life that I withstood a lot of pressure, and so far, Prince Long and his gang are still refusing to let me go."
"It was me who caused trouble for the Emperor. Please punish me."
"Forget it this time, just be more careful in the future. Actually, letting your brother go to jail is a good thing. It can sharpen his temper and make him mature. After he is released from prison, he will not
I will cause trouble again."
"What the Emperor said is..."
"As long as I'm here and you're here, your brother won't be able to suffer much, so just put your heart in your belly."
"...I know this, and I will not disturb the emperor again from now on."
"Okay, you can go back."
"Your Majesty, will you come to my place to rest tonight?" Concubine Hua looked at Jin Tianwei expectantly.
Jin Tianwei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I have to approve the memorial tonight, and it may be very late... I won't go to your place."
"Oh, I understand." A trace of disappointment flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes, then she lowered her head and left while wiping tears.
"Sigh... I'm living such a miserable and terrible life." Jin Tianwei couldn't help but sigh heavily.
After being severely scolded by Jin Tianwei, Concubine Hua finally became honest and no longer dared to come to Jin Tianwei to plead for mercy. She even went to the prison to visit Marquis Xuanwu. As soon as she saw Concubine Hua, Marquis Xuanwu burst into tears.
Suddenly, he said that he did not want to go to jail and wanted to get out, so he asked Concubine Hua to help him. What could Concubine Hua do? He could only continue to comfort Marquis Xuanwu, calm down and stay in the prison for a while, and wait for the news to pass.
Find a way to rescue Xuanwu Hou out.
Concubine Hua was quiet, but Prince Long and Prince Tiger were still jumping up and down, forcing Jin Tianwei to severely punish Marquis Xuanwu, preferably to kill Marquis Xuanwu, which made Jin Tianwei extremely annoyed. However, he did not give in. At first, he even fought with Long.
The prince and others argued for a few words, and eventually Jin Tianwei played the dumb role. No matter how fierce the fight between the Dragon Prince and the Tiger Prince was, Jin Tianwei ignored it. When he was really forced to do nothing, Jin Tianwei would say: "Well, I
I understand, I will consider this matter carefully, and I will give you an answer after I think it through."
It’s really speechless that the majestic Nine-Five Emperor is acting rogue. Although the Dragon Prince, Tiger Prince and others are angry, there is nothing they can do to Jin Tianwei. In any case, Jin Tianwei is the emperor, the ruler of the secret realm, and theirs.
They don't dare to push their immediate superiors too hard. If Jin Tianwei puts a disrespectful label on them, it will be enough for them.
The emperor acts rogue and is the most invincible in the world.
