Extraordinary Disposal (2)
Zhenyuanhou, who thought he would die, did not expect that Emperor Xuanping would let him go.
Zhenyuanhou felt excited and excited, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. After a while, he choked out and said: "I thanked the emperor for not killing him."
Duke of Wei Guo, Jingguo, was also a little shocked and quickly looked at each other.
They always thought that Emperor Xuanping would take this opportunity to kill Zhenyuan Hou of Jinning. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanping let Zhenyuan Hou go...
The young Emperor Xuanping showed the emperor's majesty and leniency in dealing with criminals.
The Marquis of Jinning committed a serious crime and was given a glass of poisonous wine. Zhenyuan Hou was implicated by the fifth prince, and he had no unforgivable fault, so he could save his life. He only had his title cut and was punished to guard the imperial tomb.
There is no reason to be a crime to add. It is not difficult for Emperor Xuanping to kill Zhenyuanhou and to list the charges and search for evidence.
The difficulty is that Emperor Xuanping did not deal with criminals with his own selfish desires and preferences.
Duke Wei was a little shocked, subconsciously stood up and bowed, and said solemnly: "The emperor made a fair decision, and the old minister was convinced."
Duke Jingguo was also shocked and stood up, his words more sincerely respect than usual: "The emperor is kind and has the courage of the emperor. It is not only a blessing for the people, but also a blessing for the ministers."
The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Justice also stood up and bowed: "The old minister also thinks that it is very appropriate for the emperor to deal with this."
"That's right, please give an order immediately."
Emperor Xuanping's eyes flashed over the important officials with different expressions. When he saw the respectful expression of Duke Wei Guo Jingguo, Emperor Xuanping felt quite comfortable: "Since all the ministers have no objection, I will issue an order immediately."
Over the past year, the struggle between the monarch and the minister has never stopped.
Duke Wei Guo, Duke Jingguo, was both old ministers of three dynasties. He was experienced and cunning, and held military power. He looked down on the young Emperor Xuanping from the bottom of his heart.
Although the civil officials supported Emperor Xuanping, they had to use government affairs to "measure" the emperor's mind.
While recuperating his body, Emperor Xuanping fought with the old and stronger ministers, which was extremely laborious. Because of this, his body was sometimes better and sometimes worse and his beauty slowly.
Today, when Emperor Xuanping finally saw these old foxes bowing their heads, he felt relieved.
Emperor Xuanping's eyes swept away and fell on the Marquis of Jinning who was about to die: "Marquis of Jinning, I will give you half an hour. What unfulfilled wishes do you have? You can write them down and leave them to your wife, children and relatives."
The Marquis of Jinning was somewhat arrogant and brave in his generals who died calmly. He did not shout hysterically or knelt down and beg for mercy: "Thank you, the emperor."
Zhenyuanhou, who escaped by chance, silently glanced at Jinninghou and sighed in his heart.
Over the years, the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting endlessly. The Marquis of Jinning has devoted a lot of effort to the eldest prince and secretly did a lot of things that should not be done. Now it is time to settle the accounts.
He was much more cautious and much less ambitious than Jinning Hou.
The fifth prince neither possessed the legitimate nor the eldest, nor was he favored among the princes. Therefore, he recognized the situation a long time ago.
Now it seems that such caution is a good thing and has saved my life.
...
Half an hour later.
The Marquis of Jinning wrote three letters, one for his wife, Mrs. Jinning, one for his eldest son, and the last one for his third son, Zheng Qinghuai.
At the end of the pen, Jin Ninghou's right hand trembled slightly, and a drop of thick ink fell on the end of the letter paper, soaking out a shocking black.
Even ants are still alive, but when people are about to die, it turns out that they are so bitter and dark.
Emperor Xuanping and others had already left. The emperor's confidant Eunuch Ding was the emperor's confidant. The other son-in-law Zhu Qijue and the imperial guard commander He Qi.
The Marquis of Jinning put down his pen, stood up, and whispered to He Qi: "The Zheng family is exiled to the bitter and cold land of the border. I hope you will take care of it for the sake of making friends with Qinghuai."
He Qi was in a complicated mood and had nodded on his face. He nodded: "Okay."
He Qi did not make a generous speech or made an oath. It was just a simple and good word. However, the huge rock in Jinning Hou's heart was put down.
He Qi is famously domineering and fierce, and he keeps his promise the most. Since he has agreed today, he will definitely take care of the Zheng family in the future.
Eunuch Ding walked forward with a wooden plate and said respectfully: "Please drink this glass of wine by Marquis Jinning. The emperor is still waiting for the servant to report."
Jin Ninghou pulled the corner of his mouth, and finally glanced around. Then he picked up the poisonous wine and drank it all. In an instant, the poison had already occurred. Jin Ninghou's face was soon covered with a layer of black air, and pain appeared in his eyes, and black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Then, he fell to the ground suddenly.
The cell was quiet.
A living life is gone.
He Qi was quite calm, but Zhu Qijue's expression was ugly, and his stomach was churning. He turned his head and vomited.
He Qi did not make fun of him, and walked to Zhu Qijue and patted him on the shoulder: "If they succeeded that day, we would be the one who died. Thinking about this, will you be in a better mood?"
The battle between imperial power is so cold and cruel.
After Zhu Qijue vomited, his handsome face was a little pale and his expression slowly calmed down: "Don't worry, cousin, I'm fine."
Eunuch Ding went up and squatted down, and tried the breath of Jinning Hou with his hands. He was sure that Jinning Hou had really died, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He got up and went to the emperor to report his life first.
The disposal of the body of Jinning Hou and the matter of going to Zheng’s family to announce the edict all fell on He Qi and Zhu Qijue.
...
An hour later, He Qi and Zhu Qijue arrived at the Marquis' Mansion of Jinning together.
There was also a coffin brought to the Jinning Marquis Mansion together.
The Jinning Marquis Mansion, which had been enfeoffed for more than a year, suddenly cried. The Jinning Marquis's wife fainted from crying in front of the coffin. The Jinning Marquis' sons and daughters-in-law all knelt in front of the coffin, with tears in their eyes and pale faces.
Zheng Qinghuai and Zhu Qixuan were among them.
He Qi, who came to announce the imperial edict, glanced at his thin and haggard friend Zheng Qinghuai, and his pale cousin Zhu Qixuan, and sighed secretly in his heart.
There is no end to the nest. With the death of the Marquis of Jinning, the Zheng family, which was about to be exiled to the border, was completely defeated. Zheng Qinghuai was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Jinning, and would also be implicated.
He Qi read the imperial edict in a deep voice.
According to the practice of raiding and exile, all the Zheng family's family assets were confiscated and confiscated and not taken away. However, there are always exceptions in everything. According to Emperor Xuanping's decree, the Zheng family was allowed to set off again the next day, and each person could bring a box.
This is already a great blessing.
Everyone in the Jinning Marquis' Mansion knelt together to thank God for his kindness and received the imperial edict.
