16. Pei Xueshi drink medicine
Pei Yanling's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this. Then, somehow, he felt his nose get hot. When he touched it with his fingers, black blood flowed out, and all of them were on his fingertips and collar.
I, I, actually, have lost my composure.
Pei Yanling was extremely scared and kept wiping with his hands.
But blood is rubbed more and more.
At the same time, the eyes are getting blurry.
In the end, the old man had no etiquette and began to cry, desperate.
The emperor said at this time: "You did it right, but you were stupid. At this moment, it is simply a way to give someone a handle. I tried my best to advance and retreat with you, but I really can't beat Gao Yue."
Suddenly Pei Yanling thought something clearly and his thinking became a little brighter.
"I am not willing to die, but Your Majesty cannot be humiliated." Pei Yanling insisted while bleeding from his nose. He choked and sobbed, "If I really give you a handle, it will be in your hands. Even if I die, I will make your Majesty famous." After speaking, Pei Yanling knocked his head heavily on the floor.
The emperor also cried, and waved his hand to express his acceptance of Pei Yanling's suggestion.
"Your Majesty, after my death, the court will be celebrated inside and outside. I will be infamous for thousands of years from now on. In the future, all the people who look down on me will be traitors who will not eat dogs. But as long as your Majesty can understand in your heart, I will have no discrimination towards You. If Your Majesty can mourn you a little, I will die without regrets."
The emperor felt very uncomfortable. He told Pei Yanling that you don’t have the guilt to your family. I will take good care of your son Pei Cao.
"Your Majesty has previously sent Du Huangshang, Han Hui, demoted Lu Zhi, Yangcheng, Li Chong, Zhang Pang, Su Bian, etc., but only the Chief Censor Mu Zan is still unmoved. It must be for today's business. Your Majesty is wise and wise. From then on, your Majesty will be happy for thousands of years. "After speaking, Pei Yanling held up his body, finished worshiping again, and then staggered out of the East Hall of the Golden Palace...
The next day, the emperor suddenly summoned the Censor General Mu Zan, saying that Pei Yanling, Li Qiyun, and Li Shi said that the Jingzhao Prefecture Zhang Zhong was instructed by Li Chong and was corrupt and was insulted. He also gave hundreds of thousands of gold and silk to Lu Zhi's wife. He confessed that the letter was here. You can ask the Xiantai to promote Ju. If the facts do not match, you have to return Zhang Zhong, Li Chong and Lu Zhi's innocence.
Muzan told the emperor that although Zhang Zhong had admitted it, his mother, wife and daughter were lying outside the gate of the Daming Palace and shouting for grievances.
"During this period of time, there have been frequent natural disasters and strange phenomena in the capital, which must be related to this. Your Constitution is my moral and we must not slacken off." The emperor spoke very strongly.
Muzan immediately asked the censors to investigate.
In fact, the case itself is often very simple: within three days, Mu Zan submitted a letter to the emperor, saying that the push was completed, the inside story was clear, Zhang Zhong's corruption was purely fabricated, and Lu Zhi's wife's bribery was even more false.
At the same time, Muzan also said that the governors of Yangzi and several states in Xuanrunyue all came out of Li Qi, the governor of the Navy in the Shouqianzhen, privately changed the tax rate to the Yuan, increased the accumulation, and severely harsh the people. He also bribed the capital, paid the powerful and robbed the grain transportation, and committed dozens of crimes and evil...
"What kind of powerful people have you met, please make it clear." The emperor before the copywriting said in a cold tone.
Mu Zan went to Chen directly, saying that he was involved in the judgment of Pei Yanling, Li Qiyun, and the Sidao King Li Shi, etc.
"Then they used to treat Lu Zhi, Gao Yue's..."
"It is a party-building structure, and it is eliminated." Mu Zan's answer was loud and clear.
The emperor stood up, thought for a while, and then said to Mu Zan: "In this way, Li Qi is a royal family and a former governor. His crime must be signed by the prime minister to agree on, and I am not convenient to participate."
Mu Zan thought to himself, even if you tell me that, I am just a censor!
Didn’t the prime minister be sent away by you?
But Mu Zan could certainly feel the emperor's strong desire to restore the prime minister's team.
So Muzan made a suggestion, should he let Duke Gao Wei return to the capital and then serve as the Minister of the Secretariat?
At this moment, the emperor stood there, staring at Mu Zan in a daze, and squeezed out a difficult smile for a long time, sighing with a kind of comfort and joyful tone:
"Gaolang, a true minister of the country, can not settle down in Huainan or Jiangdong. If he is summoned to the Baima Xuan in a hurry, who will protect the wealth and transportation of the grain? Who will do the work of the southern expedition for me?"
Mu Zan, who understood the meaning, said that the chief of the Sherenyuan Mausoleum to promulgate Liu Deshi and Quan Deyu could draft a temporary edict for His Majesty to announce the return of Huang Shang, Lu Zhi, and Han Hui to the capital.
"Let Wei Zhiyi, Wei Duke, and Li Jifu all come back to the courtyard," said the emperor.
Then he stopped and suddenly added to Mu Zan: "It is said to the outside world that the prince Bao reported to Lu Zhi, Gao Yue and others, and the traitors of Pei Yanling and others, so I changed my mind."
In Pei Yanling's house, several middle-aged officials came to the door, and stood in the courtyard without saying anything, in a sequel.
In her sleep, Pei Yanling seemed to have a white hair all night long. He called his son Pei Cao and said to him earnestly: "Your father thought he was smart all his life, but he was actually stupid, which really cost him life. But remember, after your father died, you must not have any resentment in his heart, let alone revenge. You know some knowledge. If your father can still live, you can also find a position in the local shogunate so that you can support yourself. But after I die, you will have a hard time, and the only thing you can rely on is Lu Zhi and Gao Yue." Speaking of this, Pei Yanling smiled bitterly, "Don't want face, you can also give Lu Jiu and Gao three good reputations."
Pei Cao said with tears in his eyes that the child understood.
"You go out." Pei Yanling calmed down, then pointed outside the window and said to Pei Cao, "Your Majesty cares about me, there is no need to "demote first and then kill" me, so those envoys must be punished, you don't have to stay here."
Pei Cao cried, but had to leave the main room and close the door.
On that day, Pei Yanling drank medicine and collapsed into a ball in great pain and died.
He also left a confession, which clearly stated how he deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates and was not allowed to be punished. In the end, he could only kill himself, poison himself, and beg His Majesty not to affect his family.
The people in the capital were eye-opening: since the fleet in Jiangdong, Huainan and Jiangdong came along the Caohe River, the entire political situation has been thunderously reversed in an instant, making people frightened and stunned.
Pei Yanling died of his own life, which actually declared the demise of Li Qiyun.
Soon the Censorate impeached Li Qiyun's corruption and abuse of power. The emperor asked the Censor and the sons of the City Inspection Commission to block their houses and found countless treasures, all of which were obtained from bribery. There were twelve cellars, with hidden gold and silver from three million coins.
The emperor immediately ordered Li Qiyun to seize all his official titles, and his family's property was deprived of all his property, and he was allocated three thousand miles away.
As a result, Li Qiyun had just walked to Lantianyi and died of wind and cold.
His wife Wei was frightened and didn't know what to do, so she hanged herself to death.
Li Shi was also unlucky and was demoted to Quanzhou, Fujian as a different leader.
Those Shenwei generals who bribed Li Qiyun to become Xingyuan and Fengxiang Jiedushi, the "debt commander", were also implicated and handed over to the city patrol and guard yard, and were killed in order to serve as a warning.
At the same time, Huainan gave hundreds of thousands of tax money to the emperor on time and in full at the Jinzouyuan in the capital.
