Chapter 1120 The mastermind behind the scenes
"Your Majesty, I have not verified what Yang Zhen said. However, in mid-August, I saw a memorial from the magistrate of Guangwu County from the Ministry of Justice, which was about this matter. However, the content was unclear. I temporarily suppressed it, but no news came since then. I also thought that the matter would be calmed down. It was not until yesterday that Yang Zhen came to tell me about this matter that I felt that the matter was already very critical, so I brought Yang Zhen to meet His Majesty today to explain the matter..."
When Chen Xu was speaking, he took out a memorial from his pocket and said, "The memorial from Guangwu County Magistrate was here, please read it!"
"Come on!" Emperor First Emperor nodded slightly with an ugly face. Su Yue quickly walked down the steps and presented the memorial to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of Guangwu County, nor should the Ministry of Justice inform the Ministry of Justice. The soldiers guarding the border were originally intended to protect the territory and safeguard the people, but they did not follow the military rules and left the camp privately. They did not make any mistakes and provoked the people. Destroying the temple and injuring innocent people. If the Marquis of Wucheng or the Guard of Yanmen Pass earlier, your Majesty and the court could also make arrangements and comfort them early. However, to the present level, it has a lot to do with the slackness and scattering of local officials. I suggest that the Guard of Yanmen Pass and Guangwu County will be escorted back to the capital for dereliction of duty. The soldiers who destroyed Jingbian Temple and injured people were also arrested and interrogated. All those involved were punished to calm the emotions of the people in Zhao..."
Chen Xu's words made the court slightly shaken.
Many people began to whisper, and even Feng Quji and Meng Yi looked at each other, and each saw a slight ease in each other's eyes.
When the Qinghe Hou came to the last step, he still had no intention of burning the war on Wang Li.
"Your Majesty, I think the words of the left minister are reasonable. Military soldiers who leave the camp privately are a serious crime. The crime of destroying the temple and hurting people's lives is a higher level. Yanmen Pass was the imperial official, but the military officer ordered the army to cause chaos and did not stop it. This is a dereliction of duty. The magistrate of Guangwu County knew about this but did not actively report it. Instead, it took several months to report it to the court. Moreover, the memorial was unclear and was also guilty of dereliction of duty. I suggest that we punish the crime together!" Behind Chen Xu, the Secretariat Ling stood up to post a letter to his immediate superior.
"The Zuo Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat are reasonable, I will discuss it!" A group of Chen Xu's followers from the Central Secretariat stood up and said to the post.
Now Chen Xu is no longer the third-rank Zuo Zhonghou and the powerless and powerless Marquis of Marquis. Instead, he has a big brother. The boss said that if the younger brother doesn't post well, the consequences may be somewhat difficult to predict after he goes back. Even if the Zuo Prime Minister may fall into a fight with the Wang family, other officials of the three provinces and six ministries can still wait and see and stand on the side, but the officials of the Secretariat cannot, because they are already labeled as Qinghe Hou, and they are all from Zuo Prime Minister from underwear to souls. Whether they want to participate or not, they can only stand up with their teeth.
As soon as the Secretariat moved, other civil and military officials began to hesitate and shake. One after another, some doctors and doctors and some officials who were familiar with Chen Xu stood up and agreed to punish Yanmen Pass, Guangwu County Magistrate, and soldiers who caused trouble.
The First Emperor put the memorial on the imperial case and spoke for a moment: "The young master and your beloved ministers are reasonable, but I cannot just listen to Yang Zhen's one-sided words. Meng Qing is responsible for this matter. He quickly sent the censor to Yanmen to inquire about the details. If the matter is true, immediately escort Yanmen Pass, Guangwu County Magistrate and the soldiers who caused trouble back to the capital for trial..."
"Your Majesty, don't send the censor to investigate this matter. The rebellion of soldiers has nothing to do with the guards of Yanmen Pass, but someone else?"
Just as Meng Yi was about to stand up, Jiang Pu, a subordinate of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up in advance and spoke.
"Wow~~" There was another turmoil in the court, and many people couldn't help but slam it, as if they were biting a small stone for dinner, and their bodies were extremely sore. I felt that this matter was a little out of control today.
First of all, Jiang Pu was an official of the Shangshu Province, but at this time, when Feng Quji had not made any statement, he stood up to help Chen Xu before he made any statement. This was not normal in itself. Secondly, there were other people in Jiang Pu's mouth, many people instantly contacted Wang Li, the Marquis of Wucheng.
In other words, the fire finally burned on Wang Li.
Feng Quji and Meng Yi looked at each other again, and saw the seriousness and helplessness on each other's faces.
No one knows what Yang Zhen’s origin is. Whether it is Yang Tong’s instructed to come to find Chen Xu or a nail that Chen Xu found to pry open the matter, it is no longer important now. What is important is that this thing that should have been hidden in the dark was torn apart. After the scattered court today, the Yanmen Pass incident will inevitably spread, and Xianyang and the people of the world will slowly know.
The content Yang Zhen just said never mentioned Wang Li, because he told the story and result from the folk perspective. The emperor still had room for maneuver and finally put this matter on the guards of Yanmen Pass, Guangwu County Magistrate and a group of soldiers. Then this matter could finally make Wang Li escape, but Jiang Pu suddenly stood up without warning, and would completely tear this veil and lead the war to Wang Li.
"Your Majesty, I have tangible evidence to prove that the Yanmen Pass incident was caused by the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Li, who deliberately destroyed Jingbian Temple and killed and killed local civilians, was the Marquis of Wucheng who were instigated and ordered by the Marquis of Wucheng. After that, the Marquis of Wucheng not only did not restrain themselves, but instead became more and more detained the civilians who had obtained the government office for justice. In the end, many famous scholars and gentry in Zhao jointly wrote to the magistrate of Guangwu County to release the detained people. The Marquis of Wucheng ordered the magistrate of Guangwu County and the Guard of Yanmen Pass to search for these famous scholars and gentry, which further aroused the local people.
The anger of the people made the matter worse and eventually became the current situation. As the general guarding the northwest military camp, Wucheng Hou ignored the military orders and led troops to cause disaster, which aroused the people's dissatisfaction and anger with the court. According to the military rules of our Great Qin, such as the Military Title Law, the Guard Law, and the General Camp Law, he would privately entrusted his troops to commit crimes, seized three levels of titles, and seized three levels of titles, and seized one level of titles without reason. Those who hurt their lives without reason will be killed according to law. Although they have lost their military merits, they will not escape the blame and can be used as slaves..."
The whole court fell into a dead silence.
Jiang Pu's words directly pressed all the blame on Wang Li without any evasion.
"Your Majesty, this is not my nonsense, but my nephew Jiang Chutian is the captain of the Wucheng Marquis General Camp. When the incident at Yanmen Pass happened that day, he saw with his own eyes that the Wucheng Marquis personally instructed soldiers to rush into Jingbian Temple, and then clashed with the people who sacrificed, which eventually led to dozens of casualties. I have a letter sent by my nephew Jiang Chutian, which describes the matter in detail. The letter is here. Please read it..."
Jiang Pu took out a slightly wrinkled letter from his cuffs, walked slowly to the center of the court, and presented it to Su Yue with both hands.
He has been carrying this letter with him for a long time, and he is waiting for this moment.
The letter was quickly handed over to Qin Shihuang's hands. Qin Shihuang's face opened with a gloomy look. The more he looked, the ugly he looked. Even his beard and eyebrows were trembling slightly. Finally, his body suddenly shook and almost fell from the dragon chaise.
"Your Majesty~~" Su Yue, who was closest to the emperor, was so scared that he shivered, but he did not dare to come forward to support him.
"I have a headache. Today's court discussion will give up and leave the court!" The emperor covered his forehead and stood up shakingly, and was then helped by a group of palace servants to walk into the back hall.
In the quiet court, all the civil and military officials were at a loss, and they stared at each other with big eyes.
Feng Quji and Chen Xu and Meng Yi also looked at each other a few times, then Meng Yi stood up and said, "Your Majesty is not in good health, so the morning court will give up. Please go back to the office office!"
The atmosphere of the entire court suddenly relaxed, and the civil and military ministers almost stood up in relief, and walked out of the court hall in exchange for communication. Chen Xu also bowed with Feng Quji and Mengyi and took Yang Zhen out of the court. When they met Jiang Pu at the door, the two of them did not say anything. Jiang Pu just bowed slightly and then strode along the steps. The officials along the way avoided them as if they saw snakes and scorpions, and did not dare to fight him.
Not long after, a thunderous news spread throughout Xianyang with the civil and military officials in the scattered dynasty.
The former doctor ordered Yang Tong to entrust his clan Sun to visit the Qinghe Marquis. Today, he went to court to break up a tragedy at Yanmen Pass last year. He said that the border guards destroyed the temples worshiping the former Zhao general Li Mu, causing dozens of casualties. The guards of Yanmen Pass and local officials concealed the matter and arrested hundreds of people in Zhao, which triggered a conflict between the people in Zhao and the soldiers in Zhao. In the past few months, dozens of people have been killed and injured. The situation has become more and more intense. Local officials and generals not only searched for people who were discussing and debating, but also forcibly blocked local merchants and traveling to Xianyang to convey information, resulting in the rising anger among the people in Yanmen counties, and there is a faint riot and rebellion. The Qinghe Marquis asked the emperor to capture all the officials and soldiers involved in the matter back to the capital for trial to calm the anger of the people in Zhao.
In order to confirm the matter, the official deployment chief Jiang Pu also presented a letter written by his nephew Jiang Chutian as evidence, which detailed the cause and effect of the Yanmen Pass incident, and specifically pointed out the instructors of the Wucheng Hou Wang Li, and the participants were also his personal bodyguards.
Jiang Pu's evidence made this matter a sure thing.
The Wang family's three tigers were all highly valued and trusted by His Majesty. The Wang family and his son defeated the six kingdoms and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty unification of China. Then Wang Li conquered the Donghu, and Wang Ben had just conquered Baiyue. In other words, the huge territory of the Qin Dynasty is almost defeated by the Wang family's three generations.
But now because of a trivial matter, the Marquis of Qinghe, who was the left prime minister, made the case clear without informing the emperor in advance, and it seemed that the sword was pointing to the point.
It was only a hundred days before General Wang Jian had just passed away.
Almost everyone can't understand why Chen Xu did this.
The consequences of doing so will not only offend Wang, but will also make the emperor unable to come to Taiwan.
Jiang's actions were also surprising. Why did they stand up to support Qinghe Hou when the Meng family and Feng's family were not mixed? This was obviously a quagmire to stir Jiang's family into the quagmire, because it was not difficult to see the ending. Even if the emperor agreed to punish Wang Li and asked someone to capture him back to Xianyang, the final result would inevitably be a big deal. It might be just a few words of criticism and education that were not painful and itchy, and then the Jiang family could only follow Qinghe Hou to waving the flag and shout, and there was no chance to remain neutral or even watch.
This move does not conform to the political views of the bureaucratic family.
When things developed to this point, the emperor suddenly had a headache and retreated from court, but everyone knew that this was just an excuse for the emperor.
Chapter completed!
