Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 257 Search of the Imperial Household Department
On September 20th, Grand Secretary Tonggiya Longkodo was found guilty of 21 major crimes, including corruption, favoring concubines and killing his wife, and lawlessness. When the charges were discussed, the previous dynasty was inevitably divided.
More than half of the court officials suggested immediate execution, while the other half thought that the crime did not warrant death and that confinement or demotion would suffice. However, regarding Li Si'er, who murdered his original wife and the daughter of the Hongdai Gioro clan, the court officials reached an unprecedented consensus.
Those who commit heinous crimes should be executed immediately!
The court discussed this matter for four or five days, and finally someone from Shoukang Palace sent a message, "For the sake of Empress Xiaoyiren and my family, you can spare her life, and the rest will be at the Emperor's disposal."
Yinzhen tossed and turned all night, and finally decided to spare Longkodo's life. After all, no matter what, it did not touch his bottom line!
The next morning, at the court session, he directly issued an edict, "Longkodo has committed twenty-one serious crimes, which are unforgivable, but Empress Xiaoyiren died young, and I cannot bear to execute him for his crimes. I order him to be removed from his position, stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and specially allow Hesheli to divorce him.
Li Si'er was so bold and reckless that he accepted bribes, killed his first wife and the daughter of the Hongdai Gioro clan. He should be executed immediately, and his body should not be buried in the Tonggiya clan's cemetery!
Longkodo's second-class dukedom was replaced by Qingfu, who was demoted to a lower rank. His eldest son Yue Xing'at was granted the first-class baron title, and his second son Yuzhu was sent to Heilongjiang to serve. As for the embezzled gains in the past, they must be replenished as soon as possible without any mistakes! "
All court officials agreed with the decree, and even Prince Li himself had no intention of refutation. However, something unexpected happened when it came to Longkodo.
——He directly disobeyed the order!
No, it should be said that he pestered Su Peisheng, who was in charge of announcing the imperial edict, to plead for Li Si'er to Emperor Yongzheng, and he also refused to let the jailer of the Tianlao prison drag the man out and execute him immediately. Due to his status as the younger brother of Empress Xiaoyi Ren, the matter came to a standstill for a while.
Su Peisheng couldn't make the decision, so he hurried back to the palace to find someone who could make the decision and complain, "Your Majesty, this is what happened, and Li Si'er is still in jail!"
Yinzhen was furious and said with gritted teeth: "He is a rebel. How dare Longkodo disobey his superiors! Come, tell Orondei to come to me." Orondei would surely be happy to add insult to injury!
Orondei was indeed very willing to take on this responsibility. For this reason, he rarely bowed his head to Emperor Yongzheng, whom he had always disliked. Then, he personally led a group of imperial guards and snatched Li Si'er away from Longkodo.
"Longkodo, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about love? Ha! Don't you even consider whether His Majesty will give you this face? Karma will always come true!"
Longkodo stared at Orondai's face as if he had poison in his eyes. "Orondai, what are you so proud of? You followed the wrong person in the past. The Prince Lian you have always supported is busy with his own affairs. What good will happen to you in the future?"
Orondai sneered: "What am I afraid of? When did the fight for the throne happen? Have you seen me do anything to offend the emperor in the past ten years? I am not like you, who are greedy and don't even know who I have offended..."
"What do you mean? What do you know?"
"Do you think I'm such a kind person? Longkodo, you will never know how you ended up like this in your life! You are an adulterer and a whore, shameless, and you still want to protect the pride of the Tonggiya clan? I think the Tonggiya clan was defeated by you!"
After saying this, he turned around and left the prison, ignoring the shouts behind him.
Afterwards, Li Si'er was taken out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded on the spot. Upon hearing the news, Longkodo burst into tears and looked so devastated that it was hard to believe that he was actually a top noble!
When Yinzhen heard the news, he sneered twice, and then asked Su Peisheng to tactfully inform the Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace about this. By the time Longkodo was released from the Heavenly Prison, the Empress Dowager had already completely given up and no longer had any nostalgia for the past.
What a joke! He had already changed his mind, but he was still holding on to her. She was not a cheapskate, so how could she keep holding on to a young love that she didn't know how much was real in her heart?
In fact, Longkodo ruined her life. It was only because she, her son and her brothers reconciled in her later years and she had a very caring grandson that her life was not too miserable!
But wasn’t it Longkodo’s elder sister, Empress Xiaoyiren, who caused the tragic situation of mother-son discord and brothers confronting each other during those years?
Whenever she thought of this, the Empress Dowager's memories would be shrouded in mist. She had no idea when the Shangsi Festival on March 3 had become her nightmare!
"Zhuxi, send a reward to Hesheli on my behalf to comfort her."
After all, Hesheli was innocent, it was all Longkodo and Li Si'er who did the evil!
……
September passed in a flash, and with the fall of Longkodo, the former dynasty returned to peace again.
Unexpectedly, this peace did not last long. Emperor Yongzheng suddenly dispatched a group of guards, the Five Cities Army and the Eight Banners soldiers to search the Imperial Household Department. The leaders were the powerful Prince Yi and Prince Xian.
It was the Golden Award Festival, and everyone had relaxed their vigilance, including the Imperial Household Department. In the late night of October 13, everyone in the government was fast asleep, and then they were blocked in their beds.
"Report! One hundred thousand taels of gold, more than seven hundred thousand taels of silver, and a number of valuable calligraphy and paintings, antiques were found in the study..."
"Report! There is a secret room behind the rockery. We searched and found 600,000 taels of silver..."
There are many examples like this, but a lot of silver was found in every mansion, and only one in ten was left with any exceptions.
Yun Yu could no longer hold his temper, and gnashed his teeth as he ordered, "Search them thoroughly for me, and do not let go of any suspicious places. I want to see how bold these eunuchs can be."
"Fourteenth brother, don't let these disobedient people get you into trouble."
"Thirteenth brother, these people are too much, trying every means to dig out the royal family to fill their own palaces! If it weren't for my brother's firm words, I would never have thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be more daring than the foreign officials. Cao Yin and Li Xu's deficits are not that big, right?"
Yunxiang roughly estimated the total amount, and then he couldn't laugh anymore. It was because the total amount was almost as much as the annual revenue of the national treasury! ! ! !
"Everyone opened their eyes wide and searched the walls, dark rooms, floor tiles, etc. carefully. Some people are always too meticulous!"
Flames shot up to the sky and people rushed in, waking up everyone in the capital from their sleep. Then Uya watched helplessly as dozens of boxes were seized from the mansions of Jin and Ma Jia next door. The men in the mansions were also dragged out of the mansions by soldiers, and it seemed that they were heading towards the Heavenly Prison.
"Tap...tap..."
The sounds of anxious footsteps shuttled back and forth outside the mansion gate, but no one was heard entering the mansion. The Uya family felt a little relieved.
"Fortunately, fortunately, we have the favor of the two ladies and Prince Zhao in our mansion, otherwise we would have fallen into a big trouble this time!"
