I am immortal in history

Zheng Chaipiao's way of leaving was very dishonorable.

For several generations, the old people were in prison. Even if they were imprisoned for crimes, they would eat well and drink well without being sentenced to death. They would leave a whole body before they died.

This is the unspoken rule of Tianlao.

One is to leave a way out for oneself, and the other is to prevent prisoners from biting randomly.

None of the jailers, or rather all the subordinates, are innocent. Anyone who is willing to investigate is guilty.

For example, if a scribe makes his superior official unhappy, he can be sent to prison for any crime he chooses.

For example, the undertaker obviously does not have any salary and has to pay copper coins to the body collector, but he can eat and drink without worrying about saving his family.

Not to mention the well-paid jailer, who doesn't have a yard in the capital?

Subordinate officials never live on their salary, but on this tiger skin!

"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, we have to let you go with dignity."

Li Ping'an took the bamboo box and carefully helped Zheng Chabo arrange his body, sewed up the wounds, wiped away the blood, and took off his prison clothes and put on his shroud.

Lying peacefully on the straw mat, just like Shopkeeper Wang last winter.

"We don't believe in Buddhism, but we have to believe in cause and effect."

Li Ping'an can't be a good person, but he won't do evil either, lest he suffer retribution one day.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Chabo's son Zheng Dabao came to the mortuary to collect the body. Seeing his father's peaceful appearance, he gave Li Ping'an five taels of silver.

"Thank you, Brother Ping An."

"It should."

Li Ping'an gently rubbed the silver ingot, thoughtfully.

The mainstay of the Zheng family is gone, but Zheng Dabao is still spending lavishly, and he obviously has a way to make money.

"It should be the successor!"

Jailers also have an iron job. They are passed down from father to son one after another and rarely recruit people from outside.

First, outsiders don’t understand the unspoken rules and have to be re-taught. The second is that I am afraid that if I recruit an upright person, I will not be able to tolerate it and report it.

It’s uncertain whether he can be sued, but it will make the court look bad after all!

"Perhaps the fourth uncle really committed suicide, took all the charges, and paved the way for his son with his life."

There was definitely more than one person who tortured and interrogated Shopkeeper Wang, and there was no nod from the prison officials, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion could not command the jailers.

Now that there is no evidence, the case is closed.

The officials in the prison were grateful for Zheng Cha's kindness and recruited Zheng Dabao as the jailer, so it was natural.

The next few days.

Shi Tiantian sent the corpses of officials every day, most of them were second-rank deputies and seventh-rank or below.

When the official's family came to collect the body, no one complained. It was obvious that the deceased's buttocks were not clean.

These people died not because of greed, but because of bad luck and bad luck. Someone must take the blame for the Thirty Deadly Sins.

Those who are alive are not greedy, they are only temporarily useful.

"It seems that Marquis Weiyuan cannot be defeated!"

Li Ping'an experienced the birthday incident and saw the people who died in the arrow rain, and he became more aware of what the "imperial court" was.

As the last remaining thought of changing the world disappeared deep in my heart, when I looked back at the court, I could see the essence through the phenomena.

The stability of the imperial power is greater than anything else!

…

royal palace.

Qinzheng Hall.

Dozens of whale oil candles as thick as arms, smokeless and odorless, illuminate the palace as brightly as day.

Emperor Jianwu was reviewing the memorial.

Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has never slacked off in the thirty-eight years since he ascended the throne. He will personally review all memorials and Chou Shi has hardly slept before.

Fortunately, he has a strong foundation in martial arts. Another emperor would have died of exhaustion long ago.

It's approaching midnight.

The newly appointed eunuch, Eunuch Kang, reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the prince has been kneeling outside the palace for six hours."

"Well, let him in."

Emperor Jianwu stretched his waist and said, "I am getting old, and my back and legs are sore after just a while. Back then, I was a general who could lead troops into battle, kill enemies and seize flags!"

Eunuch Kang patted the horse and said, "Long live your Majesty. You are so powerful that you will never grow old."

"Everyone in the world calls me long live, but who can really live long live, not even the Holy Ancestor..."

Emperor Jianwu's voice was erratic, seeming to be mocking himself, but also seemed to mean something.

After a while.

Two chamberlains helped Prince Zhao Xin into the palace and knelt down at the foot of the steps, kowtowing three times and bowing nine times.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Zhao Xin was born to Emperor Jianwu's first wife. He was already fifty-one years old, with an old face and gray hair. He looked like a contemporary of Emperor Jianwu.

"Get up and give me a seat."

Emperor Jianwu asked directly: "The prince plans to plead for Weiyuan Hou?"

Before Zhao Xin's butt touched Jin Dun, he stood up and knelt down after hearing this: "My son, I sincerely ask my father to forgive his sins and crimes in memory of Marquis Weiyuan's past achievements."

Emperor Jianwu said unceremoniously: "Isn't it for your father-in-law's sake?"

The legitimate daughter of Marquis Weiyuan is the Crown Princess and the greatest helper for the Crown Prince to secure his position in the East Palace.

The current Empress Cui was originally a noble concubine. After the death of the first empress, she inherited the throne. She has two princes under her knees, and their ages are quite different from Zhao Xin.

Xin Zhao turned pale with fright, remained silent for a long time, and then summoned up the courage to speak.

"Father is right. Marquis Weiyuan is very loyal to his son, so he has no choice but to save him."

"Marquis Weiyuan has hidden heavy armor in his possession. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Emperor Jianwu nodded with satisfaction. In the past, the prince had a gentle and cowardly temperament and did not dare to speak loudly. Today, he finally became somewhat responsible.

Zhao Xin had already prepared a plan before he came: "I am willing to bear all the responsibilities of Marquis Weiyuan, and I ask my father to punish me!"

"Remember what I said today. If Marquis Weiyuan makes a mistake in the future, I will punish you directly."

Emperor Jianwu picked up a blank piece of holy paper, waved and threw it in front of Xin Zhao: "Fill in your own name. I want you to kill 30%, demote 30%, and release 30%!"

If you can't be an emperor if you only have courage, you must also learn to kill people.

"My son, I obey."

Zhao Xin kowtowed repeatedly, UU read www. uukanshu.netｔI never thought that it would be so easy to save Weiyuan Marquis. A little guilt and infamy are nothing, the most important thing is to stabilize the position of the prince.

After that, he held high the imperial edict and exited the Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Jianwu looked at the night outside the palace, which was dark and boundless, and suddenly sighed.

"I really want to kill Weiyuan Marquis, and those corrupt officials, and kill all the nine tribes, and do justice to the people!"

The Zhenfu Division expanded the case of Weiyuan Marquis because of Emperor Jianwu's instructions.

Now, there are not only military attachés in jail, but also civil servants from the Ministry of Personnel and Hubu, and even many dignitaries from the Zhao family.

Because too many officials were arrested, there were many vacancies in the morning lineup, which looked uneven.

As the Zhenfu Division conducted an in-depth investigation, they learned that official corruption was so serious that even Emperor Jianwu was shocked.

The old brothers who were sweeping the world at that time have more or less deteriorated. The words of restoring the universe are still in my ears, but in the blink of an eye they have turned into moths.

"It's just that I'm really old!"

Emperor Jianwu's family knew about his family affairs and relied on martial arts to maintain his energy. He might die one day.

Twenty years ago, there would have been a bloodbath.

"Your Majesty is also considering the stability of the country."

Eunuch Kang bowed and said: "The prince is generous and kind, and he will be a benevolent king in the future. Blessed are the people of the world!"

Seeing that Xin Zhao, with a blank imperial edict, showed favor to the civil and military nobles in prison and confirmed that the crown prince's position was unbreakable, the one in the harem had no chance at all, so he quickly flattered and said good things.

Chamberlains are royal servants. No matter how powerful they are now, they will have to be replaced when the new king comes to the throne.

"hope so."

This was also one of Emperor Jianwu's considerations.

After Emperor Wu, Emperor Wen rested and recuperated, which was conducive to the stability and extension of the country.
