Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Chapter 40 Two major crimes

Ma Chao had a big fall on Ning Heng. As a rankless grandson of the Hou family, he couldn't help Changxin Hou Ye, so he had to repay Zhu Dingbei twice.

But I don't know what the chief steward of Lord Changxin Hou's mansion said to Ma Taifu. Ma Chao's punishment for copying scriptures in the mansion to be pure is extended indefinitely, and the master of the school coincidentally withdrew his special care for Zhu Dingbei.Here, the Marquis of Yuanning also asked Guozixue for instructions, and Ma Chao was exempted from the martial arts class for the past few days.

Ma Chao was gratified and Zhu Dingbei was annoyed that Master Calligrapher was addicted to playing calligraphy, and the extra ten big characters every day could not be changed.

Lou Anning and the others are unknown, but it is obvious to all that Ning Heng personally sent people to the Taifu's residence to discuss this matter.

Seeing Ma Chao's ugly face these days, everyone was very happy and sighed that longevity is good, and if there is trouble, someone will clean it up.

Only Zhu Dingbei was not stingy, raised his head without knowing what to do, and said coldly: "Master Changxin, you don't understand the principle of promoting kindness and fighting Michou?"

Since this kid will use the face of the Marquis of Changxin to give him favors sooner or later, he has to wait for him to be taken care of for nearly a month before making any movement. He really has bad intentions!

Ning Heng smiled lightly, patted his stubby head and said, "You should read more books."

Zhu Dingbei's expression froze.

The few people around were bent over laughingly at Ning Heng's serious appearance, and Lou Anning repeated without hesitation: "Changsheng, you need to read more, read more. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Zhu Dingbei kicked each of them angrily.

The fifth month passed in such a tumultuous manner. During this period, Yuzhou and Jingzhou Zhoumu, who were suffering from splitting headaches, finally chose a few places where the migrating people came from. The final migration place was selected by the ministers in the morning. It's settled.

Zhu Dingbei specially read the residence newspaper, and found that the migration place was no different from his previous life.

He sighed, wondering if there would be another hundred thousand migrants dying this time.He watched the torrent of history come back, but there was nothing he could do.

Aside from lamenting the fate of the migrants first, there is a major event that concerns the Zhu family and the entire Zhu family army is about to happen.

The new buds change green, and the lush vegetation comes with the rainy season in Luojing in June.

A frontier urgent report that came at a fast pace made a louder noise than the first thunder in June in the ruling and opposition parties!

——From Zhu Zhenliang, the first-rank military marshal, who submitted an urgent memorial to sue Xianbei State Mu Sima Yuqi! !

What followed was piles of evidence that several major counties and counties in Xianbei mutilated the people of Xianbei, enriched their own pockets, killed innocent people indiscriminately, forced the good into slavery, stirred up public anger, and the news of the death of the main culprit!

The scouts of Zhu's army went straight into the imperial city with the order of gold bestowed by the imperial court. It was the tenth day of the early court that Emperor Zhenyuan finally stood up amidst eunuch Dongsheng's elongated retreat.

An urgent military report from Xianbei Prefecture? !

Could it be that Xianbei is turning against him again? !Going to war? !

Emperor Zhenyuan's complexion suddenly changed, and after reading the report, his eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.

He smashed the report in his hand viciously, and said three times:

"Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!!!"

Even the bead curtain in front of the emperor's crown could not hide the murderous look in his eyes, so frightened all the officials knelt and kowtowed to the emperor to appease his anger.

The early morning of this day is doomed not to pass safely.

Emperor Zhenyuan was furious, and without further ado, he immediately asked the Imperial Forest Army to detain the unsuspecting Sima Yuqi and punish him with thirty sticks in court!He didn't even say a word of reason, everyone was scared to silence, and no one said a word of pleading for Sima Zhoumu.

Sima Yuqi didn't expect that the thunder on the flat ground would hit him directly on the head!

He looked at the emperor in astonishment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was so frightened by the hostility in his eyes that he choked back the words of begging for mercy, and he didn't dare to yell even after being beaten until his ass blossomed.

Who doesn't know that Emperor Zhenyuan hates weak and crying people the most?None of the ladies in the harem dared to shed tears in front of him. The quieter he was at this time, the more he could let Emperor Zhenyuan get rid of his anger smoothly, and only then would he have a way out.Otherwise, it is not impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to decapitate him in a hurry.

After finishing the thirty strong sticks, the emperor on the dragon chair said, "Sima Yuqi, are you guilty?!"

"My humble minister, my humble minister..."

Know or don't know?

How did he know what mistake he made?But His Majesty must be innocent and guilty of beating me up like this!

It was hard for Sima Yuqi to grit his teeth in a high degree of panic and not be knocked unconscious.But right now, his mind is in a mess, and his usual strategizing strategy has nowhere to display because of being caught off guard and ignorant.

"I have a lot of trust in you, and entrusted the Xianbei Mansion, which is more important than my life, to you. Is this how you repay the emperor's favor? Is this how you repay me?!"

"!!"

"I have absolutely no such intentions! Your Majesty, please look into it!"

Sima Yuqi broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself when he pleaded guilty just now. The emperor's words showed that his guilt was equivalent to the crime of treason, how could he admit it!

Emperor Zhenyuan sneered, "Dongsheng, throw it to him, let him take a good look at what crime he has committed!"

Crouching on the ground holding the whisk with one hand and carrying the stack of memorials, the eunuch Dongsheng panickedly picked up the memorial that the emperor had dropped on the ground with the other hand, trembling when he heard this, and hastily threw the memorial he had just picked up in the direction of Sima Yuqi.

Poor old and frightened him, he lost his aim and threw it a few feet away from Sima Yuqi. The eunuch Dongsheng hurriedly knelt aside and said humbly: "Your Majesty is guilty, please calm down. It is important to take care of the dragon's body."

With such a reminder from him, all the foolish officials quickly said in unison: "Your Majesty is guilty, please appease your anger!"

Sima Yuqi's buttocks and back were badly beaten by Ting Zhan, and he couldn't even stand up right now.But facing the wrath of Thunder, he hurried forward to pick up the memorial regardless of the pain, and opened it with shaking hands.

Seeing this, his head went blank.

This...how could this be?

Fortunately, he is not someone who has never experienced a big scene. He bit the tip of his tongue to stay awake, and looked at the memorial that was coming towards him like a sword.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's clear lesson, my humble minister, my humble minister's injustice--" "Oh." "You are wronged? You mean that the general of my army and horses, the leader of the Zhu family army who has been shrouded in the battlefield of loyalty and goodness for generations, framed you?"

Sima Yuqi was shocked, and the voice of crying for injustice was immediately choked.

The kneeling officials, who were still not aware of the situation, couldn't help but tense their scalps when they heard His Majesty's words.They buried their heads even lower, wishing they could get into the ground and stay away from this innocent disaster.

Emperor Zhenyuan took a deep look at him.

"Dongsheng, please read aloud to everyone, and see what good deeds our Simazhou Mu has done while the emperor was far away!"

The eunuch Dongsheng heard the words, his mouth was full of rhizomes, but he still had to respond. He went down and took the memorial from Sima Yuqi, stood to one side, and read aloud: "My minister, from the first-rank military marshal Zhu Zhenliang's own handwriting. My minister accepts the memorial." People were deceived and people were killed by mistake, the crime is unforgivable, I ask Your Majesty to remove the guilty minister from the post of marshal and return to Beijing to accept the crime."

"Your Majesty, Gubiao Shengming. On May 21th, the [-]st year of Zhenyuan, I received a plea from the governor of Dingyang County to kill the Xianbei rebels. On the way, I was stopped by my Dajing Xianbei people regardless of life and death, but I heard the appalling Crime: Dingyang County Sheriff and his subordinate officials seized Xianbei and Semu girls as slaves and humiliated them wantonly, resulting in more than [-] suicide cases. Afterwards, their relatives were silenced, resulting in overwhelming public grievances and forcing the people to rebel against Jing!"

"This crime is the criminal's personal experience, and the evidence is conclusive! Dingyang County Sheriff and his subordinates are not benevolent officials, even thieves are called thieves, abusing their power, wantonly conscripting troops and killing innocent people."

"Furthermore, when the criminals visited the places where the rebels were killed before, they all learned that the government squeezed the wealth of our Xianbei people, murdered and embezzled, and committed crimes of wanton adultery. But it's too late to regret, I hope His Majesty will uphold justice for the guilty minister!"

"These silverfish go against the party to devour the foundation of our Dajing and split the ownership of Xianbei. Their crimes are so vicious that everyone can punish them! The criminal ministers hung the corpses of dog officials at the gates of the city, and the people who came and went threw stones and bombarded them. Make it into a meat paste to vent the hatred in your heart!"

"The guilty minister will be killed first and then played. I am willing to accept the crime of disrespect."

Eunuch Dongsheng was terrified after reading this, but he didn't dare to stop.

"The guilty minister Zhu Zhenliang owed the emperor's favor. Before committing the crime, I hope His Majesty will clarify the situation. The guilty minister will sue Ma Yuqi, the second-rank Xianbei state herdsman, as a crime. His crime is heinous. I hope His Majesty will clearly investigate."

"The first crime is conniving officials to cause disasters in the village, suspected of murdering thousands of people's lives!"

"The second crime is to drive our Dajing Xianbei people into slaves by opening up wasteland, killing them arbitrarily and treating them like livestock. The Xianbei people have belonged to our Dajing for a long time. They are not our vassals, but our Dajing people. Common people, come to my hometown of the Dajing Household Department. It is unacceptable to kill like this!"

"The third crime is to forcibly occupy our Dajing Xianbei people's cattle, sheep and horses in the name of being nomadic and shameless in the name of enlightenment. They also drove the people out of the land in batches, causing the famine of our Dajing people to kill nearly ten thousand people! "

"The third crime is corruption, dereliction of duty, appeasement and adultery!"

"His Majesty Shengming understands the suffering of the people of Xianbei, and ordered the delivery of grain, cotton cloth and improved seeds to comfort the people. However, according to my investigation, one hundred households of our Dajing Xianbei people can get enough grain and cloth, and food and clothing cannot be maintained at all. The thieves are corrupt. Due to the lack of evidence of the crime, the criminal officials still don't know the number of officials involved in the case. But almost all the court pay was swallowed up. The situation is so cruel that Sima Yuqi is involved in it. Even if he quibbles about his innocence, his subordinates are so unbearable. Simply incompetent! Let down His Majesty Ron!"

"The fourth crime is abusing power, using the Zhu family's army to kill people, and covering up the crime of the anger of man and god!"

"Regardless of whether Sima Yuqi was the mastermind of harming the people or not, the people in Xianbei Prefecture were in turmoil. As a state parent and official, he never introspected and found out the truth. Instead, whenever there was a turmoil, he asked Zhu's army to strangle the rebellion. Such actions can never be repeated. In other words, it’s clear that you’re guilty of being a thief!”

"Sima Yuqi has a marching order given by His Majesty, and the guilty minister obeyed the emperor's order without hesitation. The anti-rebellion orders are all attached with the seals of officials from the Xianbei prefecture and the rebellion. This deceit, since the founding of the Xianbei government, has been ordered to quell the chaos 320 times, and killed nearly 5000 rebel leaders and dissatisfied people. The criminals' swords were stained with innocent blood, and they helped the evildoers. I wish to die to comfort the souls of the unjust."

"Sima Yuqi trapped me in a situation of great injustice and disloyalty. I wish I could kill him soon! Your Majesty, please be careful and restore my Zhu family's clean and upright reputation for generations. Only Zhu Zhenliang, the guilty minister, will be convicted."

Eunuch Dongsheng looked down again, his legs went limp for a moment, he closed his eyes hard, tried his best to restrain the trembling in his voice, and continued to read: "The fifth crime is to bring chaos to the court and shake the foundation of the country!"

"Your Majesty's kindness is great. When Xianbei first entered our territory of Dajing, he entrusted it to Sima Yuqi, a dog thief. Its intention is to promote the prestige of our Dajing country, win the hearts of the people, and achieve my Dajing's eternal career."

"Sima Yuqi not only failed His Majesty's kindness, but also forced the Dajing Xianbei family to die, and fell into a dire situation. Now, when people talk about the Dajing court, they cry and beg for mercy, or hate the tyrannical government. Some people are terrified and afraid. Risking his life to escape from the territory of Xianbei, but only to survive. All the crimes were attributed to His Majesty and my Dajing court leader. If such a reputation is spread to foreign countries, if diplomatic relations are believed to be true, how can my Dajing establish a country?"

"The Xianbei mansion was so tragic under Sima Yuqi's governance. The guilty ministers were heartbroken when they saw it. Today, the acting head is cut off, and the head on the item is presented to His Majesty. I am willing to receive the death penalty of dereliction of duty, partiality, death and disrespect. I only hope that Your Majesty Don’t be deceived by Sima Yuqi any more, causing Xianbei to fall apart, and the people to renounce, my Dajing’s ten years of hard work in the war will be ruined!"

"By the grace of the emperor, the sinful minister Zhu Zhenliang kowtows to the south, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After Dongsheng finished reading, he felt his whole body was shaking.

It's a long story, but in fact it only takes a moment, but Dong Sheng feels that his life is over.

He has read imperial decrees in this high hall for more than ten years, even the decrees of the nine clans are countless, but it has never been like today, which made his eyes red, trembling, and covered in cold sweat.

After he finished reading the memorial, he didn't even dare to look back at His Majesty's furious expression, and he didn't dare to look at the officials kneeling below who didn't dare to make a sound, they froze in place and didn't dare to move.

Only listening to the quiet and audible drop of the needle, came the voice of Emperor Zhenyuan without warmth.

"Sima Yuqi, in Zhu Shuai's memorial, is there a nonsense? Is there an exaggeration?"

He asked three times in a row, but no one dared to answer.

Sima Yuqi didn't dare to sharpen him, he thumped his forehead, unable to utter a word, wishing he could just be smashed to death on the Golden Luan Hall, so as not to be so cruel.

"Ah."

Emperor Zhenyuan laughed again, but it sounded like a reminder to the officials.

Just listen to the cold voice of the Ninth Five-Year Lord:

"Sima Yuqi, you've done a great job. Well done, my country will be destroyed by you, as well as you traitorous officials and thieves!"

Emperor Zhenyuan yelled violently, stood up suddenly, and wanted to curse again, but he couldn't get up in one breath, and fell directly on the dragon chair after a few strains.

I don't know about personnel.
