Chapter 13 The origin of the aunt, all started from Marquis Wenxin.
Regarding today's scene, Qin Wangzheng felt a little warmer in his heart and had a little expectation, but of course, that was all.
A moment of sharpness could not explain the problem at all. Qin Wangzheng's eyes flickered, and he knew that the Lao Ai case was the major event at the moment.
"Xiao Gaozi, go and call the Tingwei over!" Qin Wangzheng ordered, once again focusing on the bamboo slips, looking through the files and documents of the Qin Dynasty in the past twenty years.
"promise!"
…
Ying Gao reminded Wang Jian, and the matter seemed to be suppressed and no one mentioned it again.
In this way, time passed day by day, and Ying Gao had swung his sword 1,500 times and read through "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wu Qi's Art of War".
August is fleeting and September is coming quietly.
The frosty season of September was the time for the execution of the Lao Ai case. On this day, a strange person came to the palace and brought a special oral instruction.
"Gao, grandpa invites you——!" Wang Li came over in a hurry and shouted at Ying Gao.
"Peng!"
After striking out with the sword, Ying Gao looked at the broken bamboo sword in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, discarded the hilt, and faced Wang Li.
"Brother Li, what does the teacher want from me?" Ying Gao asked casually, breathing heavily and his face flushed.
"There is someone coming from the palace!" Wang Li looked at Ying Gao and smiled: "Since my grandfather is looking for you, it must be related to you——!"
"Let's go, you'll know when you go and take a look——!"
…
"I've met the teacher, I've met Uncle Wang!" After walking into the study and seeing Wang Jian and Wang Ben, Ying Gao saluted, but turned his attention to the white-faced and beardless young man next to him.
On that day, he had seen this person beside Qin Wangzheng in Qinian Palace.
Zhao Gao!
Gravediggers of the Qin Empire!
With one hand, he sent the mighty Qin to the tomb.
"Third Young Master, this is Zhao Gao, delivering the oral message for the king!" Wang Ben saw Ying Gao stunned, extended his hand to introduce him, and said.
At this time, Zhao Gao bowed slightly to Ying Gao and said: "Third Young Master, the king has an order: after seven days, I will order you to go to the Weishui River to prison and kill——!"
"promise!"
…
When Zhao Gao left, Ying Gao bowed to Wang Jian and said, "Teacher, there are people in charge of the Six Departments of Xingfa. Why did your father go against the norm and order me to supervise the execution?"
After hearing this, Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said to Ying Gao: "The king must have concerns about doing this, but I guess it has something to do with the scene in Qinian Palace!"
"Furthermore, in Da Qin, it is not unprecedented for a young master to be executed in prison. The third young master does not need to worry!"
…
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Ting and the Supervisor of the State ask for an audience..." Zhao Gao saluted to the King of Qin, but in his heart was still the murderous intent and ugliness on the face of the old Lieutenant Ting.
"Please!"
The King of Qin has always been diligent in his administration, and as long as his ministers ask for an audience, there is almost no excuse for them not to see him.
"promise!"
…
"I will pay my respects to the king!"
The Tingwei and the Guozhengjian are both veteran ministers. The King of Qin has just taken charge of the government, so he doesn't want to neglect it. He quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Two beloved ministers, please take your seats first. We will talk about it later!"
"promise!"
Nodding, the two of them sat down on the desk below. Guozhengjian and Old Tingwei looked at each other.
Lao Tingwei has never been good at making small talk, so when he took his seat, he said in a serious tone: "Old minister, I'm here to see you at night. I'm here to report the secrets involved in the case. One is false and the other is true."
"If it is false, the country's chief supervisor will report it; if it is true, it will be reported by the veteran officials."
"oh?"
After being surprised for a moment, Qin Wangzheng's smile faded slightly, and he said to Old Tingwei: "Is there any falsehood involved in this case? I haven't heard of it yet, so I'll tell you the falsehood first."
Qin Wangzheng looked at Guozhengjian with inquiry in his eyes, waiting for his words. Tomorrow is the day of execution. Tonight, Guozhengjian and Tingwei came hand in hand, so something big must have happened.
For a time, King Qin felt uneasy.
After hearing this, the Imperial Supervisor pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly to King Qin: "I have verified that Lao Ai and the Empress Dowager's two illegitimate sons have been killed in the rebellion."
This is an explanation. After Wang Jian reminded him, Qin Wangzheng ordered an investigation of these two illegitimate sons.
Therefore, at this time, Guozhengjian first reported the Qin Wangzheng, and after seeing the Qin Wangzheng's signal, he continued, saying: "However, there are rumors among the six countries in Shandong: one said that the King of Qin sent private soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to kill the two sons, and the other said that the King of Qin himself entered
In Yongcheng, two sons were thrown to death in the secret room of Dazheng Palace."
"I have traced the origin of the rumor to a few old servants in the Lao Ai rebel party. The two sons are dead. I call this matter false."
"The only implication is: Should we use rumors to criticize the royal family against a few chamberlains who did not participate in the war and have spread rumors?"
…
"hateful!"
Qin Wangzheng's face turned livid all of a sudden, and he repeatedly said: "If you don't kill such a sinful son, it will not be enough to correct the law of Qin. If you spread rumors against me, what should I fear?"
When he calmed down, he suddenly remembered the line on the bamboo slip sent by Wang Jian: The Queen Mother's illegitimate son, the six countries used rumors to attack the king.
Although he was surprised at the political acumen of a seven-year-old child at the time, he didn't care.
But when all this happened in front of him, Qin Wangzheng suddenly realized that his third son was a political genius.
His eyes were deep, and for a moment, Qin Wangzheng fell into silence.
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng was silent, the Imperial Supervisor paused for a moment, asked for instructions, and said: "Your Majesty, those few servants..."
After a long moment of silence, Chief Ying Zheng hissed: "It's not a rebellion, so let's let it go. The Lao Ai case has already involved too many people."
"I only kill guilty people. I don't want to be a murderous person!"
"promise!"
…
Seeing the supervisor of Guozheng, Lao Tingwei said to Qin Wangzheng: "Since the false things are over, let me report the real things..."
"Say it, I, the king, listen!"
After taking a look at Qin Wangzheng, when he thought of what he was going to say next, even the old Tingwei, who was always known for his iron face, suddenly twitched his thin face.
"After careful investigation and interrogation of one of the imprisoned rebels, two chambermaids from the secret palace in the royal city separately confessed: On the day of Lao'ai's palace execution, it was Mo Hu, the female steward of Marquis Wenxin's mansion, who entered the palace with Marquis Wenxin's order and ordered the secret palace
The general manager personally conducted Lao'ai's palace punishment."
"There was a chamberlain as an assistant at that time. After the chamberlain's confession, the head of the secret palace only plucked Lao'ai's beard and washed her face that day, and did not perform any castration, so she was secretly taken away by Mo Hu."
"Secondly, two maids on the Empress Dowager's bed confessed that Mohu had previously entered the Summer Palace in Liangshan on the orders of Marquis Wenxin and deliberately revealed to the Empress Dowager the fact that Lao Ai's wife could transfer."
"A few months later, Lao Ai entered Liangshan."
Lao Tingwei just said, not paying attention to Qin Wangzheng's increasingly dark complexion: "Third, the nephew of the Lao'ai tribe confessed: Lao'ai is the nephew of the widow of the Qing tribe, and later became a guest house of Wenxinhoumen with the token of the widow of the Qing Dynasty."
…
"Your Majesty, these three things, whether they are human or physical evidence, prove that the chaos in Lao'ai was caused by Marquis Wenxin. This matter is so serious that I dare not not report it."
