Better to live forever [Rebirth]

From the climax of the sun to the westward slant of the sun.

It took a full three hours for Mu He to collect the confessions of 11 people. Just as he was about to forward them to His Majesty, the emperor said, "Mu He, come and read it to all the officials. Read it one by one."

Mu He swallowed, and said that his mouth was parched.But without any hesitation, he read the eleven confessions from the top one.

"He Xianyi, the second rank right servant of the household department of the criminal minister, Huanren, was born in Tai'an in 45 years. He was born in Linhu, Lujiang County, Yangzhou. The criminal minister passed the imperial examination in the sixth year of Zhenyuan. Since then, he has been promoted step by step in the household department to be the right servant in 23 years, and he has been honored by His Majesty. The criminal minister committed a crime of treason, but he wanted to die quickly, please His Majesty, and he confessed the crime himself."

"In the third year of Zhenyuan, the minister was selected by Xie Yonglin. Using the imperial examination questions as a bait, he helped the guilty minister get the title on the gold list. I inquired about the news of the court and China for him, and contacted him. The crime of bribery replaced his position and was promoted. In the 12th year of Zhenyuan, he framed the former Guangzhou State Mu, Gu Chen, and dusk to forcefully collect taxes. Died with hatred. In the 15th year of Zhenyuan, the minister ordered Xie Yonglin, who was still the supervisor of Zhu's army at that time, to add stones to Zhu's army's salary, which aroused Zhu's army's resentment. This caused His Majesty to retreat the entire Zhu family army from Liangzhou to Xianbei to fight..."

"Fang Bo, Zuo Shilang, the second rank of the Ministry of War, Zi Jingming, was born in Tai'an in 43 years. He was born in Wuchuan, Xiangyang County, Jingzhou. The sinful minister forged his identity. He was actually an orphan without father and mother. He was adopted since he was a child. The man is Xie Yonglin's man. In order to repay the kindness of his upbringing, the guilty minister listened to Xie Yonglin's order and joined the army. Because of his meritorious service in saving the former emperor, he was selected into the capital and served as the center of the military department. The guilty minister knew that he had committed a serious crime and dared not lie again. Your Majesty. In the 47th year of Tai'an, I was ordered by Xie Yonglin to cooperate with the late Minister of War, Qi Shiren, to frame the Zhongshu, who ordered Liang Yue to raise private troops. He felt disobedient, so the late emperor killed Liang's family..."

"Criminal minister Zuo Zhongshu's servant Lang Qi..."

"Xie Xuanming, the third-rank chief of the criminal minister's household department..."

"Criminal..."

After reading eleven confessions in a row, the Golden Luan Hall was already lit, and the night had already fallen.

Mu He's voice was already hoarse. So many old things were revealed. He had been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for so many years, which was unheard of.Those who know a little bit about the inside story are completely silent at the moment. What kind of friendship did His Majesty have with the Liang family back then?But such a loyal and patriotic Yipin Zhongshuling's mansion was copied all over because of the selfishness of these people.There are also those hands and feet in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, which made the sergeants who were born and died angry, but in the end they wanted to beat them back, making the emperor loathe and fear the Zhu family army.And those behaviors of eliminating dissidents in the officialdom and forming parties for personal gain are no longer for their own selfishness, they are betraying the country!Steal the country!

Such monstrous crimes are not limited to the crimes of the nine clans?Even if they are killed, it will be difficult to appease the anger of the people of the world. If these confessions are made known to the world, the hearts of the people will definitely be turbulent.

There are too many government offices released from other states involved in these confessions, as well as subordinates who have been used with knowledgeable people but whose faults are unknown.

He couldn't predict how serious the situation would be, and how it would end in the end!

After Emperor Zhenyuan listened, he didn't say a word, and all the officials didn't say a word, so Mu He could only knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have counted the ministers in detail. There are overlaps in each of the eleven confessions. Among them, the criminal Lin Xun concealed the most. The words were vague, and he participated in five major crimes but did not state them. The criminal, Muyun Road, Yuzhou Prefecture, refused to confess to the crime of colluding with the Huns to plot rebellion. Your Majesty, please judge."

Lin Zhi is worthy of being a censor, and he has a good writing skill. He wrote down these crimes lightly, but he didn't know that these people had already been terrified by the punishment of Qian Zhenlin's family being quartered by five horses. Many people can't bear the pressure, and naturally the more detailed and humble they write, under such a stark contrast, of course he has nowhere to hide.

Only then did Emperor Zhenyuan speak out: "According to the laws of our dynasty, how should these people be dealt with?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the crime of treason shall be punished by the death penalty in the law of our dynasty. The three relatives of the direct line must be beheaded to show the public, and the rest of the clan will be sentenced to death, exile, dismissal, and exile according to the severity of the crime." Able to take over the Ministry of Punishment Shang Shu, Mu He memorized all the laws of Dajing thoroughly, and when asked at this time, he answered almost subconsciously.After a pause, he continued: "But I think that these people, together with Xie Yonglin, formed a party to conspire against us. I have never done such a crime in Dajing before. It is so large-scale, well-planned, and even manages dozens of people. The crime of treason in the past year was definitely not a one-time accident, Your Majesty, you should be serious, no, the criminal law will be aggravated, so that the people's hearts can be stabilized, and the court situation can be calmed."

Emperor Zhenyuan looked at the ministers: "Ministers, what do you think?"

Dong Xiangxian responded: "Your Majesty, I think what the Ministry of Punishment said is true. Such crimes must not be tolerated! Not only is Xie Yonglin's crime of colluding with the Huns to betray the country, but the Huns' provocations against our Dajing Dynasty must also be retaliated in order to stabilize the court. !"

"My minister agrees!"

"My humble minister seconded the proposal, please Your Majesty's order!"

"The Xiongnu ruined the foundation of our Great Yasukuni, it cannot be tolerated! Your Majesty, please deal with it seriously!"

"I also thought..."

Seconds came up again and again, and the officials who hadn't eaten all day shouted with all their strength, fearing that they would not express their stance clearly enough and become an accomplice of these rebels.

Emperor Zhenyuan said: "Take these people down and imprison them in front of the Xuanwu Gate. At noon tomorrow, they will be punished by beheading in half, and married women will also be punished. Trial, conviction within three days, those who plead not guilty or have concealed the same crime as He Xianyi and others! Summon Yuzhou, and the whole Yunfu will execute the sentence as quickly as possible!"

"Let's procrastinate. The palace ban has been lifted, and all the officials are waiting in the outer hall. They can only leave after I formulate a plan to deal with the Xiongnu. Anyone who spreads news outside the palace will be regarded as a conspiracy." Emperor Zhenyuan leaned wearily On the dragon chair, he said to the eunuch Dongsheng: "Summon the military aircraft department to discuss the matter of the Xiongnu sending troops... The old Hou Ye of Zhenbeihou's mansion and Zhenbeihou called together to let Changxinhou enter the palace and wait for the order."

"It's Your Majesty."

The emperor stood up, and the eunuch Dongsheng immediately raised his voice after responding, "Retire—!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live!"

"Your Majesty! I did not commit treason! I did not!! Please be aware! Please forgive me, please forgive me—"

Muyun Road, Yuzhou Prefecture yelled loudly, but was dragged down by the Yulin Army, who tightly covered his mouth.

Zhenbeihou's mansion received the order, the grandfather and grandson entered the palace together, and Zhu Xiang entered the carriage to report the situation. When he heard that Yunlu had died and pleaded not guilty, Zhu Dingbei sneered: "He relied on Dou Changdong's superiority and inherited his inheritance. Yibo is Xie Yonglin's running dog, and now he thinks that Dou Changdong and Xie Yonglin are dead and no one can do anything to him? Wishful thinking!"

Dou Changdong was originally a general in the Zhu family's army, and was promoted by the old Hou Ye himself, but he did not expect that this person was not righteous in his bones.Xie Yonglin has served as the supervisor of the Zhu family army for ten years, and it is easy to take him into the wing.After Zhu Dingbei found out that Dou Changdong and Xie Yonglin had colluded, he didn't even have the will to investigate further.He couldn't be more clear that Dou Changdong may have contributed most to the fall of the Zhu family's army in his previous life.

In this way, as Dou Changdong's most effective helper in the administration of officials, Yun Lu, it didn't take long for the Ning family to find out the little tricks he had done behind the scenes, even when Pingzhou encountered pirates, he was responsible for it inside.

Committing so many crimes, he dared to say that he was not treasonous and collaborating with the enemy, and that he was not an accomplice with Xie Yonglin. Rao Zhu Dingbei and even his poor character would have to admire his shamelessness.

From morning to night, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and other Beijing officials outside naturally smelled some kind of dangerous smell.Originally thought that it was the civil servants who suffered the crime, but I didn't expect that His Majesty detained the civil servants of the third rank and above, entered the forbidden army and sealed off the palace defenses. No news was revealed, so they didn't know what happened.But they could also see clearly in the mansion that the emperor not only locked the palace city, but also let the imperial army take over the defense of the entire Luojing from the patrol battalion, and sealed off the major city gates.

Something big must have happened!

But these ministers of the Military Aircraft Department never expected such a big event!

Listening to the eunuch Dongsheng's explanation of the crimes of treason committed by civilian officials, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department present all felt tense.They all remembered that these heinous ministers had contacted themselves in the beginning and wanted to win them over.Looking at each other now, looking at those colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department who are either old or implicated in the case of supervising the army and were dismissed from office or even sentenced to death, they will understand at this time why those people died.

Your Majesty, did you realize the Huns' scheme so many years ago and set about cleaning up these people?

All the ministers in the Military Aircraft Department were concerned, so when the emperor asked them to discuss how to seek justice with the Huns, they all responded and supported them.

"...Your Majesty, Zhu's army has guarded the northern border for many years, and they have been implicated and suffered a lot of grievances because of these crimes against the party. Once such crimes are made, the army must be full of enthusiasm. They are also the most familiar and most capable of dealing with the Xiongnu. Therefore, I believe that it is most appropriate for Zhu's army to fight this battle."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the military aircraft department echoed.The emperor deliberately summoned the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei for this purpose. After the discussion, the emperor personally drafted a crusade letter and sent it to Xianbei Mansion overnight to start a war against the Xiongnu!

Zhu Dingbei didn't say a word the whole time, if it wasn't because he was formally taking the title, the emperor would not have summoned him on such an occasion.After he came out of the palace, civil servants and officials also got the order to leave the palace.Zhu Dingbei stared at Zhen Feihe's next move wholeheartedly, waiting to capture him in one fell swoop while escaping, but the news that Zhu Xiang came back to inform was completely beyond his expectation.

"What did you say? Zhen Feihe didn't leave the palace?!"
