285 Catastrophe, blood-stained rivers and mountains
Although Prince Rong was unconventional and his actions were inconsequential, he was still the son of the old emperor. When the old emperor learned that Prince Rong was gathering troops to rebel, he never thought of killing his son. He just wanted to imprison him. But what about now?
Now, his son is being forced to death by his own brother!
If there was no way to survive, how could King Rong commit suicide?
After knowing that his rebellion was exposed, King Rong did not commit suicide. But now King Rong committed suicide. In this tragic way, he told the emperor and the world that he was forced to have no way out!
When a person dies, the mistakes he made before are naturally wiped out. When the old emperor saw his son, grandson, and granddaughter who died tragically, he felt heartbroken and only felt regret...
Did he go too far by delaying the decision on the Bone Pit case and allowing his three sons to kill each other?
"You are unfilial to ask your father to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." Although the old emperor did not hold Prince Rong's body and cry bitterly like the concubine Xian, he did sit in Prince Rong's mansion for a day and a night...
No matter how bad King Rong is, he is still the son of the old emperor and the son of a dragon. If King Rong rebels against the old emperor, he can kill him, but no one else is allowed to kill him...
Now that King Rong is being forced to death, although the old emperor will not ignore King Rong's rebellion, he will never let go of the relevant personnel!
"I will investigate the case in the Bone Pit to death!"
"I will lock up all those students who are causing trouble. I want to know who is instigating it behind the scenes!"
"I want to know who brought those parents who came to Beijing to look for their children!"
"Who is the person who murdered the imperial official in the capital? Find out for me immediately!"
The emperor was so angry that he lay down his body thousands of miles away!
The old emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but instead of asking the government to investigate, he asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate...
Jin Yiwei has been paying attention to this matter, but before there was no order from the old emperor, they could only search for evidence secretly. Now the old emperor has given the matter to Jin Yiwei in name, and Jin Yiwei no longer has any scruples, turning darkness into light...
…
It is not that there are no ministers in the court who object, but King Rong's family has just died tragically, and the old emperor is furious. Whoever opens his mouth at this time will be in trouble.
Not only the officials who opened their mouths to persuade, but also the officials who had previously impeached King Rong were also liquidated by the old emperor.
Ninety percent of the officials who went up to Zhezi to impeach King Rong were from King Zhao and King Zhou. Now the old emperor was bored when he saw the two of them. He tied up all these people with a wave of his hand and handed them over to the Jin Yiwei, who went to investigate them.
Evidence of crime.
People who hang out in the fame and fortune circle cannot be clean. Even if they are clean, their family members cannot all be law-abiding. It is just a matter of the hands of the old emperor to find fault...
The officials who impeached King Rong were the first to be unlucky. After these people were captured, the Jinyiwei quickly compiled the evidence. The old emperor threw out the evidence of the crimes of those people, and then sentenced them one by one according to the seriousness of the crimes. The most serious ones were executed by execution.
, the lightest case is confiscation of property and dismissal...
At this time, no one dared to stand up and plead for mercy, even Mr. Feng did not dare to say anything. Because this time's turmoil was exactly the same as the turmoil that caused the prince's violent death fifteen years ago.
When the news of the prince's sudden death came, the old emperor knelt in the ancestral temple all day and night without eating or drinking. After coming out of the ancestral temple, the old emperor began to liquidate the courtiers...
Fifteen years ago, a large number of officials were beheaded, dismissed, and exiled. Even the emperor's confidants, Mr. Wu and his family, did not escape the disaster. How is everything now similar to fifteen years ago?
Fifteen years ago, the prince died on an expedition, and thousands of soldiers died. Now that King Rong has committed suicide, those students who made trouble may not be able to get any relief!
It doesn't matter whether we sympathize or not, it's just a sigh...
Wealth is gained in danger. If you are not ambitious, how can you be taken advantage of? The only thing to blame is their lack of vision...
King Rong's death was like a fuse. Countless people died in the capital every day, and countless people were imprisoned.
The official at the Dongshi market had to flush the water three times a day to wash away the blood on the ground. The whole capital was in a state of turmoil and everyone was in danger. There were no shadows of the dandies roaming the streets, and there were no students chatting in the teahouses.
Everyone is closing their doors, hoping that this dark period will pass soon...
Fortunately, this chaos did not last long. As soon as Jin Yiwei took action, the case quickly came to light...
The bodies of twenty-three ordinary people who died in the house were found. They were thrown into the cellar by the murderer and buried with soil.
The identities of the families of the victims who complained in the Imperial College have been verified. They indeed have missing children. As for whether the bones in the pit of bones are their children, it needs further confirmation...
Until their identities are confirmed, these people can only be thrown into jail. Yes, there is nothing wrong with being jailed. Although they are family members of the victims, gathering a crowd to cause trouble is a violation of the law, and the government has legitimate reasons for imprisoning them.
In addition to the families of these victims, there are also students in the Imperial College and students who have become messengers of justice...
The old emperor was full of murderous intent this time. Even if he knew that many of these people were innocent, no one dared to come out to persuade him. Only Qin Jiyan dared to hit the old emperor's gun at this time...
"I leave the funeral affairs of your uncle King Rong to you." In the end, the old emperor still did not have the title of King Rong. He was finally able to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as a prince.
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Ce is still here. Uncle Rong Wang's funeral affairs should be handled by Yun Ce." Yun Ce is the eldest son of Prince Rong, the only surviving member of Prince Rong's palace.
"Yun Ce is too sad and has no energy to do these trivial matters." The old emperor refused without thinking. He still doesn't know what to do with Prince Rong.
King Rong committed suicide. Although the old emperor was angry, the mistake made by King Rong was that the old emperor originally wanted to imprison King Rong for life and demote his family to common people. Now that King Rong is dead, the old emperor's punishment cannot be implemented, but
The old emperor did not want Prince Rong to inherit the throne.
To ask Qin Yunce to take care of the funeral affairs of Prince Rong's family as the Crown Prince Rong's son would be tantamount to acquiescing that Prince Rong's Crown Prince would inherit the throne.
Qin Jiyan sighed and persuaded: "Grandpa Huang, Yun Ce is the only remaining heir of Uncle Rong Wang. Even though he is sad, he also hopes to see Uncle Rong off personally." There must be someone in the lineage of King Rong.
Yes, otherwise who will rush forward to fight with the king of Zhou and the king of Zhao?
"Yun Ce can worship his father in the future." The old emperor still refused to agree.
It’s true that the old emperor is the father of King Rong, but he is also the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He will be sad for the death of King Rong, but he will not ignore the country and the country because of King Rong’s death, and will not care about the mistakes that King Rong made before...
…
King Rong committed a serious crime of treason, and he was showing mercy by not killing King Rong. If King Rong committed suicide, he would forget the blame and let King Rong's son inherit the throne. Will King Zhao and King Zhou do the same thing next time?
