In the main hall, Duke Chengen was not the only one who was asked by Qin Jiyan to write a confession. They were worried about what to do. When they saw Duke Chengen pulling Feng Shoufu to plead for mercy, their eyes lit up, no matter what they usually did.
Whether Feng Shoufu is a good friend or not, or whether he is a political enemy, many people came forward to ask for Feng Shoufu.
"First Assistant Feng, please help me. I really don't know anything about the collusion between a member of my clan and Prince Rong. If I know, even if I don't kill him directly, I will bring him to see the emperor."
Please forgive me."
"First Assistant Feng, my great-nephew is from the Lin family. Although he is usually close to my wife, we have no contact with him. What he said above is all false..."
…
No wonder these adults were so nervous. After interrogation by the Jin Yiwei, it was found that the information about those people who sold to Prince Rong and King Zhou was learned from several ministers. They also borrowed some money to help Prince Rong and King Zhou.
The light of an adult.
Most of the people who were personally arrested yesterday were not highly valued in the family and had no chance to come into contact with the government. They also did not have the ability to rely on their own abilities to open the door for Prince Rong and the King of Zhou.
Everything they did was in the name of their family. In this way, these adults would be even more unclear. Whether they were truly ignorant or not remains to be further verified.
"You... give in. It's useless to beg me. I still have something to ask for..." Feng Shoufu had been tired all day yesterday and worried all night last night. He didn't sleep well all night, and his energy was extremely low. He was beaten by a group of people.
People pushed him around, but Feng Shoufu didn't even have the strength to push him. After shouting a few words to no avail, he fainted.
"Sir, Chief Assistant, Master Chief Assistant? It's not good, it's not good, Master Chief Assistant has fainted." Mr. Cheng'en was the closest to Feng Shoufu. He held Feng Shoufu at the critical moment and prevented Feng Shoufu from directly attacking him.
Planted on the ground.
"Quick, hurry up and declare the imperial doctor." For a moment, the hall became a mess. The people who had just gathered around Feng Shoufu immediately dispersed, fearing that Feng Shoufu might have an emergency and they couldn't explain it clearly.
Qin Jiyan wanted to summon the first assistant Feng and the Minister of Household Affairs to discuss the matter, but before he could speak, a eunuch came to report that the first assistant Feng had fainted.
After Qin Jiyan asked what was going on, he sneered and said, "Make a copy of the list and send it to Feng Sijin." Although Feng Sijin is as gentle and gentle as jade, he is actually not a kind person at all.
host.
If Feng Sijin knew that those people had driven his father unconscious, Feng Sijin would never let them go easily.
"Yes." The little eunuch didn't understand the meaning of Qin Jiyan's words, but the big eunuch beside Qin Jiyan understood and immediately stepped forward to answer the question and took the confused little eunuch out.
In the meeting hall, there were only two people, Qin Jiyan and the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Their conversation was interrupted, and Qin Jiyan had no intention of continuing. He only said: "Continue to investigate, and send someone else to invite Prince Rong to return to the capital." Here they are.
If the imperial mausoleum refuses to be peaceful, then he should go back to the capital to make trouble. He would like to see how far Prince Rong can go under his eyes.
No, Prince Rong will be a sinner when he comes back. The best outcome is to be imprisoned like Yunchu and the fifth prince. Even if he wants to torment him by then, he may not be able to do it anymore.
The commander of the Jinyiwei ordered to retreat and walked toward the Jinyiwei Prison with a dark face.
There are still a lot of prisoners waiting for him to go to trial. He must prove the charges against Crown Prince Rong before Crown Prince Rong comes back, so that Crown Prince Rong will never be able to stand up.
Feng Shoufu was just weak and fainted for a while, but he woke up less than half an hour later. When he woke up, he learned that Qin Jiyan had inquired about his condition, and despite the imperial doctor's dissuasion, he insisted on coming over to express his gratitude.
Qin Jiyan raised his eyebrows, but did not embarrass First Assistant Feng. He immediately asked someone to help him in, and without waiting for First Assistant Feng to kneel down, he said: "Master Feng, there is no need to be polite. If you come, please give me a seat."
Feng Shoufu was really exhausted. Even though the imperial doctor gave him medicine, he still looked pale and sickly. When Qin Jiyan saw Feng Shoufu looking like this, he knew that there was no point in forcing him to stay.
It's better to be a good person, send Feng Shoufu back to Feng's family, and then let Feng Sijin enter the palace.
There is no difference between the left and right sons and Lao Tzu. They are both capable ministers, and they are all easy to use.
Feng Shoufu came here to thank him and to plead guilty. He thought he would be punished by Qin Jiyan, but before he could speak, he heard Qin Jiyan say with concern: "Thank you for your hard work, Shoufu. You have been really tired these days."
Well, although you are responsible for the lax management of the household affairs, the fault is not yours. Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest first, and leave the court affairs to others."
If there were only these words, Feng Shoufu would kneel down in fear and apologize. You know, if the emperor uses you and entrusts you with a lot of things to do, that is because he thinks highly of you, trusts you, and wants to reuse you; if the emperor does not use you,
, asking you to go back and rest, it means that the emperor is very dissatisfied with you, and you may have to rest for the rest of your life.
But just when Feng Shoufu was about to kneel down to plead guilty, Qin Jiyan added: "Let Feng Sijin come into the palace to see me later."
"I obey the decree." When Feng Shoufu heard this, he immediately turned from worry to joy and knelt down to thank him.
It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't use him. He is old and can't keep up with the emperor's pace. As long as the emperor uses him as a family member, it will be fine.
Feng Shoufu left the palace with a relaxed look on his face, which made the Minister of Revenue and others envious. He deeply regretted that they did not faint in the palace. Especially when the eunuch came to tell them that the emperor wanted to see them, all the ministers turned pale.
Paper.
They, they... have come up with a few ideas, but there is no guarantee that the emperor will adopt them.
With apprehension and uneasiness, Shangshu and others walked into the Imperial Study Room fearfully, and knelt down obediently. When they heard the word "平生", they got up carefully and stood aside, pretending that they did not exist.
Qin Jiyan glanced at it and said coldly: "Can you think of a countermeasure?"
"Returning to the Emperor..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance stood up and said one by one the three methods they had thought of last night.
One is to buy grain privately from large grain merchants in the name of the imperial court and order them not to tell anyone.
The second is to find fault with a few big grain merchants, kill them directly, and then confiscate their property and grain.
The third is to deny food and grass, directly attack Xihu, and go to Xihu to grab food and grass.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue was not sure about the first two, but he was very sure about the last day, because this is what Xihu and Beiqi did if they didn't have enough food and grass.
Xihu and Northern Qi can send troops to their Daqin to rob grain and grass, why can't their Daqin go to Xihu or Northern Qi to rob them?
Qin Jiyan's face darkened when he heard the first two, but when he heard the last countermeasure, Qin Jiyan's face became a little better.
Stealing food and grass from Xihu and Northern Qi? Seems like a good idea
Qin Jiyan rubbed his chin, a fierce murderous look flashed in his eyes...
