Chapter 853 Confession
Chapter 853
After having a meal at the Marquis of Jinyang, Qin Huaidao went to the inn. Qin Huaidao arrived in Taiyuan. Local officials in Taiyuan must come to visit. They all knew that Qin Huaidao had great power and controlled Dali Temple. All officials needed to ask Qin Huaidao's opinions for promotion.
In addition, the third-rank officials also need to vote for Qin Huaidao to agree. Therefore, those officials dare not not come, and the military officials are even more intimate. They are already close to Qin Huaidao and know that Qin Huaidao is his own. Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao was about to set off and return to Beijing, so early in the morning, Li Zhi came to see him off.
"You go back and bring a word to my elder brother, I'll be honest!" Li Zhi and Qin Huaidao walked side by side, and Li Zhi spoke.
"Okay, I hope this is the case. In addition, if the King of Wu finds out about this matter, you will have to find a way to solve it yourself. There is also the matter of the head of the aristocratic family, you will have to worry about it. Don't wait until they come to take revenge on you. You will be in trouble at that time." Qin Huaidao nodded and spoke, but Li Zhi didn't say anything.
"If you really can't save your life, just save the lives of those two children. Then I will send someone to the capital and I will send it to my father. No matter what, these two children are his grandsons, and he can't ignore them. As for you, take care of yourself." Qin Huaidao continued to explain to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi heard this and nodded, then Qin Huaidao got on his horse and returned to Beijing.
On the capital, officials from the aristocratic family were very angry. They had been sitting outside Chengtian Palace, hoping that Li Shimin could come out to talk to them.
"It's not so good, why are you sitting here? It's all gone!" Li Chengqian was about to report to Li Shimin when he saw so many officials sitting there, he said to the officials very unhappily.
"Your Highness, we hope that Your Majesty can give us an explanation and why should we arrest our heads? What else should we do?" Cui Renshi stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian and said.
"Why do you think? If they didn't break the law, would they arrest them? Isn't it illegal to assassinate the father and the orphan?" Li Chengqian shouted glaring at the officials. When they heard it, they were stunned. Although there were such rumors before, they were not confirmed after all, but now it is indeed a bit scary to say it from Li Chengqian's mouth.
"Your Highness, you can't say anything nonsense. How could our head of the family do such a thing?" Cui Renshi looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief and said, believing in his heart, but not believing in his mouth. Otherwise, how could he save him?
"There are confessions, and the confessions of the people from your family are there? They have agreed to it themselves. Do you know that their every move is not enough? It's OK, it's scattered! Why are you sitting here?" Li Chengqian said, waving his sleeves and leaving, not telling them.
"Your Highness, does Your Majesty have to kill our head of the family?" Cui Renshi stood there and shouted at Li Chengqian's back.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he turned around and stared at Cui Renshi and asked, "Shouldn't you be killed? They have committed such a serious crime, shouldn't you be killed?"
"This?" Cui Renshi didn't know how to answer. Li Chengqian glared at him fiercely, turned around and left, entering the Chengtian Palace.
"My son has seen his father and the interrogation has ended. Yang Fan and the others have confessed their crimes truthfully, but the heads of the family remain silent.My sons dare not to torture them, for fear that they will not be able to explain clearly. After all, when the question is executed, they will be injured, which outsiders can see!" Li Chengqian bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"It wouldn't work without them admitting it personally!" Li Shimin put down the book and spoke.
"Yes, my son is also worried about this. If they had not admitted it personally and personally essayed, it would be difficult to convince the public and would not be able to block the world's long and unrestrained words. My son is not doing anything well, so I would ask my father to punish him!" Li Chengqian lowered his head and bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"It's not enough to beat me, and scolding is useless. If you ask them, they won't say anything, hey!" Li Shimin stood up, walked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and saw the officials outside.
"They will not admit it if they have the final say in their head. If they cannot give them a satisfactory answer, what will they do?" Li Shimin looked at the situation outside the window and asked Li Chengqian.
"I don't know!" Li Chengqian bowed and said.
"What do you say and what are you afraid of?" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a little unhappy.
"Yes, I guess I will resign and leave, and even say that they may start planning rebellion. However, a few days ago, Boping told me that if we kill them, we will designate the head of the family for them, so that they will be in chaos. After all, the money is given to them by our worker, not the head of the family we recognize. We do not give money, and they can only divide at that time, which will be beneficial to us in dealing with the aristocratic family." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
"Haha, Boping had this meaning when he got this share. He told his father, but he didn't expect it to come in handy." Li Shimin laughed, and Li Chengqian was also smiling from behind.
"Without Boping, we cannot take the initiative now. Although the aristocratic families are still very powerful, they have no advantage compared to before. The father is not worried that they will rebel, but if they resign, it will still have a great impact on the court.
In the past two days, the father has been looking at the list and positions of those officials, thinking about who can replace their positions. Alas, there are still not enough talents. The people you trained in the East Palace cannot take on great benefits now. It will probably take more than ten years. Some of these people will still be left. Of course, if some want to leave, we won’t stop them!" Li Shimin continued to look at the officials below.
"But if they can't convince the public, they will probably resign." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
"Is there no way? Is Boping back?" Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian.
"My son is stupid and there is no better way. However, if you calculate the distance, you probably should have set off in Taiyuan today. He rode a horse and would probably be able to come back in about three days." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded and told Li Chengqian: "I'm back, let him come to the palace. My father asks him if there is any solution!"
"Yes, he will definitely come to report the situation to his father." Li Chengqian nodded and said, and then the father and son talked about the affairs of those aristocratic families and did not come back until very late.
The next day, a large number of officials were waiting outside Chengtian Palace, hoping to ask Li Shimin to reason with him. A large number of memorials were sent, but no approval was made. Some people also knew about the arrest of the head of the aristocratic family. There were a lot of rumors. Many people knew about it and they applauded. They were dissatisfied with the aristocratic family.
The price of salt in those days has been rising, but it has caused trouble to the people. And this time they also heard that the aristocratic family actually sent people to assassinate the emperor and the prince. Therefore, when the aristocratic family was arrested, they all applauded, and few people said there was any discussion.
"Madam, many officials outside ask for a visit now!" Li Lixian sat in the living room, calculating the account book.
Now every day, someone in the Qin Mansion will come to visit. Of course, they also know that Qin Huaidao is not in the mansion, but they all sent me a message, and Li Lixian had to deal with it, so they could only settle the accounts in the living room.
"If you don't see me, just say that it's useless for them to come if the master is not in the mansion!" Li Lixian said unhappily.
"But, they said they wanted to see you, Madam!" The butler said to Li Lixian again. After hearing this, Li Lixian looked up at the butler in surprise.
"That's what they said," the butler emphasized again.
"Why do you see me? I don't see them? I'm idle? Are they all the officials doing nothing? Come and see me as a princess? I haven't finished the accounts here, and the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated." Li Lixian said very unhappy. Li Lixian would not come to receive those officials.
"Yes, then I'll talk to them!" The butler said and withdrew.
Qin Yu, Qin Ren, Qin Yuan and others were all playing in the living room, and several maids were watching here. Li Lizhi also came with her daughter in her arms, while Wu Mei was sitting next to settle the accounts. Now Chunmei and Chunyan were also responsible for some small things and needed to settle the accounts. The two of them are no longer the maids of the Qin Mansion, but also the masters.
"It is probably for the affairs of those aristocratic families. Don't participate in the suburbs. The father must have an idea, and the master will consider it. We cannot participate. We should not see them before the master comes back." Li Lizhi sat there and spoke.
"I know, what do you do when they see them? I don't care about such things. I'd better think about the expenses of our Qin Mansion next year. The expenses of the Qin Mansion next year are quite large. The master must have to build a mansion in Licheng. Now the five dukes of the Qin Mansion, one county duke, and one county duke of the good deeds all need to build a mansion. Now, only two mansions have been established, and four mansions need to build a mansion. Alas, a headache!" Li Lixian said with a headache touching her forehead.
"Is it necessary to build so many things?" Li Lizhi asked as she looked at Li Lixian.
"Why don't you want it? A mansion and a mansion are the same as a mansion and a mansion. Moreover, in Licheng, we have 80,000 acres of land there. It will definitely not be possible if we don't build a mansion." Li Lixian said helplessly. Now the two mansions have been almost built, and they cost a lot of money.
Moreover, before Qin Shandao's wedding, it must be handed over to Qin Shandao. The remaining mansion will definitely be given to Qin Yu at that time, because Qin Yu is the largest and now he has the status of a Duke of the Kingdom, so the remaining dukes of the Kingdom need to be established again. Qin Yuan must live here, and Duke Hu's mansion, because Qin Yuan needs to inherit Duke Hu of Qin Huaidao.
