Chapter 2511 Jade Seal’s Resistance to Accountability
As soon as he said this, Wang Mi suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. His whole body began to tremble unconsciously. He instinctively looked at the jade seal next to the throne, but he followed Sima Dewen who was standing behind the jade seal.
Their eyes met, and I saw the prince of the Jin Dynasty, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a more profound look in his eyes, which seemed to be saying: Boy, do you think our brothers will forget what you have done?
Wang Mi's forehead began to sweat like rain. He quickly knelt down and took off his official hat while saying: "I am guilty. I was threatened by the treasonous criminal at that time, so I had no choice but to offer the jade seal of the Jin Dynasty."
………”
Liu Yu's voice sounded slowly from the side, but it revealed a trace of determination and calmness: "Wang Lugong, although you gave the jade seal to Huan Xuan in the end, it was I, Liu, who took it from King Langya and handed it over to you.
Yu. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, please punish me first."
The court, which had been buzzing with sarcasm and glee just now, suddenly became silent. Everyone knew that scolding Wang Mi in person for his crime of seizing the seal would not only show his loyalty, but also
What adverse consequences will there be? However, if there is a head-on conflict with Liu Yu, the number one man in the dynasty who holds heavy troops and great power, then I am afraid that the fate of Wang Yu and Yin Zhongwen will not be far away.
Sima Dewen coughed dryly: "Well, Liu Zhenjun, please don't get me wrong. We all know that Huan Xuan's move at that time was to test you. If you don't do it, I'm afraid you will be killed at that time. As for your loyalty,
You have long been proved by Jianyi, restoration of Jin, and elimination of Huan Chu, and no one will gossip about you."
Liu Yu shook his head: "I think that the king's words are biased. I was indeed threatened and coerced by Huan Xuan at that time, but wasn't Wang Lugong in the same situation? Not only him, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty at that time, who was not against his will?
The earth wants to surrender to Huan Xuan? If you dare to say no, your head will fall to the ground! In this case, do not question the loyalty of others. Although Wang Lugong was temporarily forced to bow to the traitor, he, Yin Zhongwen, and Bian Fanzhi had such iron hearts
There is a difference between rebellious ministers and traitors who work for rebels. When we were established in Kangxi, he was one of the first officials to go out of the city to greet the king's army, and he played an indispensable role."
Liu Yi said coldly: "So, not only did Wang Lugong have no faults, but he also had merits? Is it to reward his loyalty that the Zhenjun allowed him to retain his original position and continue to be the secretary and in charge of the government?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "The puppet Chu was newly destroyed, and the people in Jiankang City were panicked. There were still many stragglers and spies of the Chu army left behind. At that time, there were many assassinations against scholars and our soldiers. The former Tianshi Dao
During this period, many demon thieves infiltrated into wealthy families in the city, worked as servants, and performed ulterior motives. If it were not for the Xie Tingyun case later, none of us would have known about these things. The most important thing at that time was not accountability.
The responsibility is to calm people's hearts. At that time, you and I, there was no consensus among the governors that only the Huan clan should be punished, and the rest could be pardoned. Times have changed, do you want to settle old scores now?"
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "It's not that I want to settle old scores, but it makes me very uncomfortable that Wang Lugong is talking here again today. As you know, there were many fake Chu party members left behind at that time, and they also made trouble later, and now
The Jin Dynasty is not at peace. Rebellions have been raging in Jingxiang and Jiangzhou. We never knew the reason before, but now we find out that there are people like Yin Zhongwen who are still colluding with the rebels and rebels. This time we finally solved them.
A major case is a good opportunity to dig deeper into his accomplices, but what does Wang Lugong say? He said that it is not appropriate to involve too many people. Does he want to let the tiger go back to the mountain and stop tracking the traitors? Then I have to doubt what he said.
The motive behind the words is revealed, Zhenjun, what do you think?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't doubt Wang Lugong's loyalty. Since the founding of our alliance, he has fulfilled his duties faithfully in this position, and the court has been stabilized. He has made great contributions, and the so-called not implicating too much, I believe it is also because
After all, Yin Zhongwen is a leader in the literary world, with many disciples and admirers. If he is thoroughly investigated, it will make people panic. Moreover, this matter also involves the Sima Guofan clan. In the past two years, various places have rebelled against the Sima clan who are officials and thieves.
The clan also has a lot of them, Your Majesty, I am not wrong."
Sima Dewen's face changed slightly, and he nodded: "It is really unfortunate for our family. At this time of national crisis, we still have some disdain for our descendants, and actually took the opportunity to rebel and usurp power. Our Sima family does not have such scum. If you generals will
If he is captured, he can be punished on the spot and does not need to be handed over to the Zong Zhengfu for trial."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "My king, please don't misunderstand. In these troubled times, ambitious people want to take advantage of troubled waters and fish in troubled waters. There is no distinction between Han people or barbarians, and there is no distinction between people with the surname Sima or Liu. Anyone who dares to rebel will be punished.
However, if the investigation is too urgent at this time, especially if there is a major case and a big prison sentence, then some people may be forced to rebel. The reason for amnesty is not to stabilize people's hearts and eliminate the possibility of forcing people to rebel.
, reduce it to the lowest level? If people are panicked, more people may be persuaded by the rebels and join them."
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Then according to the Zhenjun's intention, just kill Yin Zhongwen and stop pursuing him?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yin Zhongwen has now been handed over to Meng Pushe for trial, and Fu Jun, you can also be more careful and assist in the interrogation. In addition to writing letters to the rebels this time, Yin Zhongwen also wanted to come to me to make contributions.
What rituals and music? This exposed his disloyalty. He had to ask clearly if there was someone behind him, and then secretly investigate and follow the clues instead of making the noise too loud. Otherwise, not only would he be forced to rebel a lot
People will let the real mastermind escape early, which is not beautiful."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "Then, this matter will be handled according to your wishes. I agree. Ministers, do you still have any opinions?"
He Wuji smiled and said, "I also agree."
When the Manchu officials saw that the three giants in Beifu had reached a consensus, no one dared to object, so they all said yes.
Liu Yi looked at Liu Yu and said calmly: "Since Zhenjun just said that Wang Lugong contributed to the court and calmed people's hearts, I have another thing to start here. I am afraid that someone will disobey Liu Zhenjun's order and use it to
In the name of suppressing rebellion, they massacred and plundered various places, provoked civil unrest, and then suppressed it to expand their own strength. The reason why many surrendered places in Jingzhou and Jiangzhou revolted again can be said to be a very important reason.
Generals of the country, Liu Huaisu and Liu Zhenjun, the governor of Jiangxia, may I ask how you plan to deal with this cousin of yours."
