Chapter 857 In the 857 arena, the family scandal should not be exposed to the public
In the case of the Ji family, with the strong intervention of the prince and the help of the royal guards, the Yamen quickly solved the case.
This case was not difficult to solve. Mrs. Ji was very confident in the Ji family under her control and made almost no cover-up. The official quickly found the poison in her room. It was verified that it was the poison that Mr. Ji had poisoned.
In addition, there are also servants of the Ji family who testified that Mrs. Ji has been taking care of Mr. Ji personally since he fell ill. She never takes care of others. No one can get close to Mr. Ji except Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji initially refused to admit it, but when the witnesses and physical evidence were confirmed, Mrs. Ji could not do anything even if she did not plead guilty...
However, although the governor of Kyoto had investigated the case clearly, he did not dare to proceed with the sentence like this. The emperor issued a message to reduce this case to a major issue.
Food has the best evidence of causing poisoning.
In short, the purpose is to clear away the relationship between everyone, protect the Ji family, and then beat the prince and Ji Yunkai, implying that these two people are making a fuss, making a fuss, and have bad intentions.
The governor of Kyoto really wanted to sentence him like this, but...
Whether it is checking evidence or interrogating prisoners, it is all handled by the people of Yanbei Palace. The first-hand evidence is also in the hands of Yanbei King. If he really wants to sentence him like this, if Yanbei King is not willing, even if the emperor protects him
, he doesn’t have to be an official anymore, even the entire family will have their backs stabbed.
"What should we do about this matter?" He had to listen to the emperor's words, but the matter was so obvious and the initiative was not in his hands, so he couldn't do it even if he listened to the emperor's words.
The governor of Kyoto really had no choice but to go to see the prince anxiously. He wanted to see if the prince had any plans to reduce big things to trivial matters.
The prince did give him face, but as soon as he brought out that little meaning, the prince decisively stated that he would severely punish the murderer and would never tolerate it.
Punish the murderer severely!
Punish the murderer severely!
The governor of Kyoto only had these four words in his mind, and he didn't even know how to get out of Prince Yanbei's palace.
The prince's explanation didn't make sense, so the governor of Kyoto had no choice but to go see the emperor and carefully explain what the prince meant. As a result, the emperor smashed an inkstone before he could finish speaking.
Originally, the Governor of Kyoto could have escaped, or turned slightly to avoid the vital points, but he did not hide, and even deliberately exposed the vital points...
There was a "bang" sound, and the inkstone was placed next to Kyoto Governor's temple. Blood spurted out instantly. Kyoto Governor screamed in pain and fainted.
Before he fell into coma, the governor of Kyoto was completely relieved.
Great, the Ji family's problems are gone.
The emperor was shocked at the time. It was not the first time that he hit an official with an inkstone, but it was the first time that he hit it so hard.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician..." The Emperor quickly called the Imperial Physician. As soon as the Imperial Physician made a diagnosis, he secretly screamed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Guo has injured a vital part, I'm afraid it's going to be bad."
Fortunately, the emperor's hand is not strong enough. If the emperor hits it hard enough, Mr. Guo will immediately lose his breath.
If there is news that the emperor smashed a minister to death, the emperor will definitely be impeached and killed by the civil and military ministers.
The emperor knew that he was in the wrong, and immediately ordered the imperial physician with a dark face to save Mr. Guo. The imperial doctor was so frightened that he quickly carried Mr. Guo down.
No surprise, a civilian official impeached the emperor the next day.
As an emperor, if his ministers make mistakes, they can be tried according to law. What does it mean to hit someone?
Not to mention, Mr. Guo did not make any mistakes. The emperor was too willful to throw things at the ministers when he was unhappy. He was like a child and did not have the demeanor of a king at all.
Of course, the civil servants did not speak so harshly. They only said that the emperor was young and energetic, and that he needed to calm down, think more, and listen to the advice of others when encountering difficulties.
The emperor was so angry that he even wanted to arrange someone to replace Mr. Guo.
In the past, the governor of Kyoto was definitely a fat official, a fat official with real power. Many officials fought hard for this position, but now no one dares to take it.
The Ji family's affairs... The emperor has made it clear that he wants to compete with the King of Yanbei. Whoever takes over the job of the governor of Kyoto at this time will most likely become the second Lord Guo. They are stupid to put themselves in this situation.
Roast on fire.
The emperor raised the matter in the morning meeting and asked the ministers to recommend suitable candidates. He expected that the civil servants would respond positively, but he did not expect that the entire hall was silent and all the factions were silent.
They really want to frame each other, but they are afraid that they will pop up at this time and fail to frame their opponents, but instead they will trap themselves.
The ministers did not recommend the emperor and were not angry. He directly nominated the officials who were not in conflict with him. The officials happily agreed in the main hall, and the next day there was a news about Ding You.
It turned out that the official's stepmother had been seriously ill, but the official used precious medicinal materials to hang her up, fearing that she would be killed if she died. Now the emperor has given her a hot job, and it's time for his stepmother to 'retire after success'.
In the officialdom, there are many such methods. When Ji Yunkai heard what the prince said, he sighed that people would do anything for the sake of power, and he shed tears of sympathy for the emperor.
The late emperor left an excellent foundation for the emperor. As long as the emperor honestly follows the path set by the late emperor, even if he cannot take back Yanbei's rights, he can still hold the military power of the four generals in his hands.
He can also hold the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in his hands.
But the emperor wanted to die. He overturned the late emperor's decision from the beginning, took the lead in dealing with the prince, and deposed her as the quasi-empress.
She could understand the reason why the emperor took action against the prince. It was simply because he had not been on the throne for long and wanted to use the prince to establish his authority.
According to the emperor's plan, if he can really take down the prince and establish his authority, the four generals will obediently hand over their military power without him even needing to take action again, and the ministers of the dynasty will not dare to point fingers at the emperor anymore.
However, the emperor did not recognize the gap between him and the prince and took action rashly. In the end, he was bruised and swollen. Not only the power in his hands was greatly reduced, but also the majesty of the emperor could hardly be maintained.
"How long will it take for the Ji family's matter to be settled?" Ji Yunkai asked after listening to the court's gossip.
In the past two days, she has been almost bored to death.
Previously, when the Ji family bullied her, everyone in the Ji family pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know anything. Now that the Ji family's scandal was exposed, they jumped out one by one, using their status as clan elders to oppress her and force her to
To suppress this matter is simply beyond fear.
"For the past two days... except Mrs. Ji, everyone else has been fine." This is something that the prince regrets.
Young Master Yun still has a brain, and he has done a very good job in this matter. The witnesses and physical evidence are very favorable to him, but Mrs. Ji also has some scruples and does not dare to drag Young Master Yun into the water.
As for the reason, the prince also knows that it is the things she did back then...
"It doesn't matter. Mrs. Youji is such a daughter who killed her husband. The daughter of the Yun family can't even think of entering the palace again. Ji Lan and Ji Ning have no way out in the capital. Master Ji has no choice but to leave the capital for Ji Ning's good." She said she was soft-hearted.
No matter whether she is called a false Holy Mother or not, she has never thought about killing the Ji family, as long as they can stay out of her way... (To be continued)
