However, the emperor's coercion still brought huge pressure to him. Under Qin Jiyan's gaze, Feng Sijin took a step back, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I... I am not bold, but I have a clear conscience." He did not do anything wrong.
, he has not done anything to disgrace the king of the country, why should he be afraid?
A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always at ease.
"You have a clear conscience." Qin Jiyan had no intention of taking advantage of Feng Sijin. He quickly withdrew his pressure and pointed at the fold on the table: "Is what you wrote above true?"
Prince Rong, who was assigned by the Supreme Emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum, restlessly contacted Prince Rong's old subordinates, and even cooperated with King Zhou to collude with Xihu. This was really courageous!
"Everything is true, please check it out, Your Majesty." As soon as Gu Qiancheng left, Feng Sijin immediately asked people to check the affairs of Taiyuan. Following the beast soldiers and boulders, Feng Sijin peeled off the cocoons and found out that the matter was related to Prince Rong.
Prince, the King of Zhou is related, but time is tight and the evidence he has collected is limited. "Please give me ten days, and I will submit all the evidence."
Feng Sijin now has a lot of evidence in his hands. He has found several confessions from the people who responded to them, as well as letters between them and Prince Rong and Prince Zhou. However, the amount is not enough because some of the key letters are
Destroyed by them.
"Ten days?" Qin Jiyan tapped the table, seemingly carelessly, but every tap was extremely dull and made people feel stressed. Even Feng Sijin was somewhat affected, but it was not obvious on his face.
"Submit the evidence you have first. Ten days is too long. In addition, check Jing Yan again. I want to know if he is involved in today's matter." Jing Yan has been too settled recently, settled.
When Qin Jiyan became suspicious, he would not be able to rest assured unless someone checked Jingyan.
As for whether Feng Sijin will protect Jing Yan?
Qin Jiyan was not worried at all. Feng Sijin was the patriarch of the Feng family and shouldered the fate of the entire clan. He knew his position and responsibilities clearly.
Moreover, in front of the family and the world, the men of the Feng family have always been rational, and they will not do anything that harms the country because of their personal emotions.
And this is also the reason why several generations of emperors in Qin Dynasty trusted the Feng family.
When Feng Sijin heard Qin Jiyan mention Jing Yan, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything and only said yes.
"You can quit." After using it and throwing it away, Qin Jiyan dismissed Feng Sijin unceremoniously, but Feng Sijin was not so easy to dismiss. "Your Majesty, have you heard that Miss Gu is in the palace?"
"When will it be your turn to take care of my private affairs?" Qin Jiyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of danger in his eyes. Feng Sijin pretended not to understand and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Gu is in her period of filial piety, your Majesty
This move will only make the officials more dissatisfied with Miss Gu." To be a queen, one must have flawless conduct. Gu Qiancheng has many shortcomings and cannot add to them.
"I'll say it again, it's not your turn to take care of my private affairs. Get lost!" The last word was spoken softly, but this did not mean that Qin Jiyan was not angry. On the contrary, Qin Jiyan was very angry.
Whether Gu Qiancheng stays in the palace or not, what does it have to do with Feng Sijin?
Gu Qiancheng will soon be his queen. Feng Sijin will never be able to marry Gu Qiancheng. Is he being too lenient?
"Your Majesty..." Feng Sijin wanted to persuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Qin Jiyan, "Get out! Don't force me to throw you out." It will be Feng Sijin who is embarrassed.
"I... obey the decree." Facing the willful and self-willed emperor, Feng Sijin felt very distressed.
Their emperor was really too petty. He reminded her that he was really just kind-hearted and not selfish at all. Such a petty emperor was careful not to marry the queen.
Feng Sijin turned around and retreated. Qin Jiyan did not rush to find Gu Qiancheng, but held his head and sat alone in the imperial study...
He knew that Feng Sijin's suggestion was right. It was really not appropriate for Gu Qiancheng to stay in the palace at this time, but... he didn't want to leave!
After thinking for a long time, Qin Jiyan decided to follow his own heart and leave Gu Qiancheng behind.
He is the emperor. If he can't satisfy himself with such a trivial matter, what's the point of being an emperor?
Qin Jiyan stood up, picked up the folder on the table, and threw it to the eunuch kneeling at his feet, "Go and let the Jinyi guards review the list and pick the people. I will see the results tomorrow." Feng Sijin was very careful in his work, not only checking but
Regarding the matter between Crown Prince Chu Rong and King Zhou, he also listed the suspects.
The people on the list were all tortured by Feng Sijin, and their authenticity needs to be further verified.
"I obey the order." The eunuch hurriedly hugged the folding bag tightly. After Qin Jiyan left, he hurriedly ran to find the leader of the Jinyi Guards.
When the leader of Jinyiwei saw the list on the fold, he immediately summoned his men and assigned the tasks one by one...
It was night, there was a curfew in the city, and there were no people walking on the streets. It was eerily quiet, but a sudden sound of footsteps disrupted the tranquility of the night and kicked off the chaos.
"Bang..." A guard wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife violently broke into a house, pointed at the woman on the bed and said, "Drag her out."
"Sir, what happened? I was wronged, I was wronged." The woman was so frightened that she cried and screamed, but Jin Yiwei showed no mercy and directly dragged the woman out of bed, then lifted the quilt and sheets, and placed them on the bed board.
After a while of knocking, I quickly found an empty board, dug it out, and saw the secret room below.
"No..." The woman looked desperate at this time and could no longer shout.
Similar things happened in many houses in the capital, not just ordinary private houses, but also happened to several official houses.
"Mr. Cheng'en, the emperor has an order, and we are ordered to arrest Chen Zhongzhong. Will you hand him over yourself, or shall we look for him?" When they arrived at the official's house, although the Jinyi guards were still arrogant, they were not rude.
The emperor only wants the people on the list, and they won't move on the people outside the list. In order to protect the family, big families will usually take the initiative to hand over people.
Sure enough, the Chen family, the natal family of the former empress and now the Empress Dowager, quickly kidnapped Chen Zhongzhong and repeatedly stated that Chen Zhongzhong had nothing to do with the family. The Chen family had no idea what he was doing, and the Chen family would not know anything about it.
Leave him alone.
"Explain this to the emperor, we are only ordered to take people." Jin Yiwei took the people and left without saying a word, leaving the Chen family in panic.
All night long, I saw Jin Yiwei walking up and down the streets of the capital, arresting dozens of people in one night, and started interrogating that night...
Qin Jiyan didn't care about these matters. As the emperor, he didn't need to know how things were done, he only needed to know the results.
Moreover, he has no time to worry about such trivial matters now. He is more concerned about the issue of food and grass.
Although Qin Jiyan asked the ministers to think of a solution in the palace and were not allowed to leave the palace if they couldn't find a solution, Qin Jiyan did not put all his hopes on them. After returning to the palace to have a meal with Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan
Continue to think about ways to raise food and grass...
