Chapter 720: on crime
Although the palace has returned to tranquility, the outside of the imperial city is full of excitement at this time. The figures of the forbidden army are shuttling around in every corner of the city. Lin Jinshu, Ji Cen'an and Lin Jinke personally lead the team and start to arrest the family members of the rebels who rebelled tonight and its henchmen.
Chu Nanzhi knew that tonight was bound to be a restless night.
Furthermore, with Jingling's old party losing power, she also realized that the life experience of the little boy would soon be made public.
This is a new beginning for me and him, but it is also full of more hardships.
The Queen Mother and Qinghe King will definitely step up their suppression of themselves and the little boy.
Right now, since the backlog of old matters in the Empress Dowager's heart has been resolved, she has to plan for the future.
After thinking hard in her mind, she began to plan how to get out of the way if Lin Jinke and the Queen Mother could not be defeated in a short time.
On the way to Chengqian Hall, Yin Enci saw her restless look, thinking that she was frightened, so she left the sedan chair and walked slowly with her.
Holding Chu Nanzhi's palm tightly, Yin Enci's calm face was filled with turmoil and confusion at the moment.
After walking for a long time, she suddenly turned sideways and asked Chu Nanzhi in a low voice: "Girl, how did you realize that there will be something strange tonight?"
"Actually, it's not difficult to guess."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the indifferent Lin Tingyan from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Once something happened to the old Tingwei, the ancestor must have noticed that the person behind this will definitely do something. It's just that the time is difficult to determine, and the minister's daughter-in-law thought about it. It’s the days before and after the year-end festival, because only these days are when the city’s defenses are weakest.”
After finishing speaking, she turned her head away, looked directly at Lin Tingyan with a smile, and continued: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Uncle Liu for reminding me, if he hadn't mentioned that Princess Shu and I should beware of Uncle San Huang and Yang Situ, what would have happened?" Speaking of the frequent mobilization of troops in the city at the end of the year, I am afraid that it is difficult for the minister and daughter-in-law to guess that they will attack tonight."
After hearing this, Lin Tingyan looked bitter.
Obviously, this woman has already seen everything, but at this moment she puts all the credit on herself. It is obviously harboring evil intentions, and it is undoubtedly to make Jingling's old officials hate her.
What a scheming person.
But in order to completely dispel his suspicions, he had no choice but to accept this ulterior motive, and replied with a stiff smile: "My niece and daughter-in-law were joking, it was you who planned the strategy, and I was just saying something extra, after all, How dare you slack off a big responsibility, His Majesty has not personally presided over the year-end ceremony for many years, I should be more cautious."
"Ting Yan, you really have a heart this time."
Thinking of Lin Tingkai's death, Yin Enci couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You and him have been brothers for many years. At this time, you can choose to kill relatives with righteousness, which shows that the Ai family and the emperor saw the right person. In the future, the government affairs in the court will depend a lot. You help the emperor."
"The queen mother's words are serious, this is the duty that sons and ministers should do."
After the words fell, Lin Tingyan promised again firmly: "Please rest assured, mother, my son will devote himself to guarding the country of this empire for your majesty."
Tian Yuchan was very displeased listening to it, forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty has such a loyal uncle to assist the government, it is really a blessing for the empire."
But she didn't take this person seriously at all.
After all, he is a weak prince with no foundation.
But at the moment, Yang Runchen has completely fallen, and the serious troubles of the confidant have been eliminated. She will never tolerate another chance for Yang's party to stand up, and she said with righteous indignation:
"Old Ancestor, this Yang Situ is really abominable. He murdered Prince Ting'an, instigated civil strife in the royal family, and murdered his deceased husband. He committed a heinous crime. Over the years, he has formed a party for personal gain, which has caused traitorous parties to spread all over the empire. This time, Yang's party must be severely punished."
After thinking for a while, she added: "The punishment that King Pingning imposed on the disciples of the Qi family on the ten tribes of the Yi family just now is just applicable. It is better to punish the ten tribes of the Yi family again and wipe out the Yang family."
Yin Enci didn't know that she wanted to use a knife to kill someone and get rid of her political opponents.
Rebels are hateful, but Yang Runchen, as a veteran of the three dynasties, has made friends with former officials all over the government and the public. If he arbitrarily commits serious crimes against the Yi tribe, the entire Dahe Empire's officials will be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, she just smiled lightly and remained silent without answering.
A group of people arrived at the Chengqian Hall. The emperor Lin Jinsheng and the empress had already been waiting in the hall. Seeing Yin Enci's figure, they hurriedly stood up to greet him: "How is it, old ancestor, everything has been settled?"
Yin Enci casually looked at Taiwei Yin Sinian beside him.
Yin Sinian immediately replied: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, all the rebels have been put to death, the king of Nandu committed suicide in fear of crime, Situ Yang Runchen, Zhonglang General Pang Yuan and other thieves have been detained and awaiting their release. Princess Shu and her son-in-law are leading the imperial army overnight Capture the rebel henchmen."
"Very good, very good."
Lin Jinsheng nodded happily, and asked impatiently: "Is this the party that murdered the former prince and king?"
"Exactly."
Yin Sinian answered again: "Yang Situ has confessed to all the crimes. It was he who instigated the rebellion of the kings, sent people to assassinate the old King Qinghe, and led the two palace changes."
"Damn it."
Lin Jinsheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Anger stimulated the anger in his heart, and he coughed uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty."
Everyone's face tightened with fright.
"It's okay, I'm happy today."
Lin Jinsheng waved his hand calmly, and Tian Yuchan once again mentioned the punishment of Yang's party and barbarians.
Lin Jinsheng hesitated: "Yang Runchen is certainly hateful, but if you want to kill all the members of the Yang family, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed again in a short while."
As a criminal policeman who has been influenced by modern criminal law, Chu Nanzhi dislikes this kind of crime of implicating one person the most. Neighbors, folks, relatives and friends will all be punished for the crime of one person, and all of them will be slaughtered.
This is really cruel.
Baby face committed serious crimes against the Qi family and the ten tribes of barbarians, and the blood of thousands of people has already stained the ground with blood on the Donghua River.
Among them, there are many good people, and there are even people like Zheng Haichuan who are helpless to cling to.
Relying on the support of the wealthy and dignitaries, King Qinghe is tyrannical, confident in everything, and brutally suppresses dissidents. At this time, she must not be like him, sitting by and watching tens of thousands of people die.
Only by doing the opposite, can people's hearts be attached.
Looking at the Queen Mother, she plucked up the courage to remonstrate to the emperor: "Your Majesty, how can one person's fault cause others to suffer, and please forgive the old disciples of the Yang family who did not participate in this palace change."
Although it was to prevent Lin Tingyan from going to arrest Yang's henchmen, it was just that he didn't want this person to take the opportunity to win people's hearts and protect Yang's family members and confidants.
Lin Jinsheng thought for a while, then sat back on the dragon chair, and slowly said: "I have made up my mind, I will immediately ask twelve officials and generals including Yang Runchen and Pang Yuan, who are the main culprits of tonight's palace uprising, to be executed. If it is dismissal, it will be handed over to the Ting Wei Mansion to inquire about the crime."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gratifiedly at Yin Enci.
At this moment, Yin Enci seemed to see the shadow of a generation of virtuous queens.
She firmly believed that having such an intelligent and virtuous granddaughter-in-law assisting her grandson would surely bring about a revival of the Dahe Empire in the future.
