Unfold it, sentence by sentence
"In the eleventh year of the Tiansheng era, the Duke of Ningguo received 100,000 taels of silver and used it to help the youngest son of the Marquis of Bao to pass the imperial examination again."
In the thirteenth year of the Tiansheng era, he bribed two civil officials, Liu and Li, with ten thousand taels of silver.
In the fifteenth year of the Tiansheng era, he accepted bribes of 50,000 taels of silver, which he used for…
One by one, one by one.
Qingwan stood there reading aloud the gold and silver jewelry she had collected, and it took her quite a while to finish.
After she finished reading, Situ Xiu smiled as he looked at Ning Guoxia, whose face had turned pale.
"Have I made even the slightest slander?"
Ning Guoxia shook his head
“These are all slanders; I have never done such a thing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of boxes were carried in.
They were opened one by one in front of Ning Guoxia.
Situ Xiu smiled and said
"This money was found in the home of the Duke of Ningguo. I'm afraid the Duke of Ningguo couldn't earn this much in ten lifetimes."
"Don't tell me, Duke Ningguo, that you found the money out of honesty."
Ning Guoxia raised her head and stared intently at Situ Xiu.
Now everything is exposed.
With physical evidence gathered, there's no way to deny it, no matter what.
Ning Guoxia snorted coldly.
Just as he was about to speak.
But Situ Xiu interrupted him.
"He embezzled public funds, committed bribery, and tried to win over court officials."
Every single one of them was destined to die.
After a pause, Situ Xiu leaned back in his chair and continued...
"Since the Duke of Ningguo just made a promise, why insist on being struck by lightning..."
He lowered his eyelids
"Red Star, kill him."
The words fell.
The Duke of Ningguo's eyes widened in terror, and he hadn't even had time to react.
With a snap, the head fell to the ground.
Blood was spilled on the gold and jewels.
It splashed onto the surrounding officials, startling them so much that they all hurriedly moved far away.
Some had never seen anything like this before.
My legs were trembling with fear.
The person who was just talking and chatting away is now dead here.
Which of the officials, both civil and military, could accept this all at once?
But it seems Situ Xiu isn't done yet.
His tone was lazy
“Drag him out and tie him to an iron post. When he gets struck by lightning, then have someone take him back.”
This... this is like they won't let you go even after you're dead?!
Where had the new official ever seen anything like this?
Soon, the guards filed in.
They were carrying boxes and dragging corpses.
Carry it out.
The floor was quickly cleaned up.
The Qiankun Palace was restored to its original state.
However, the lingering fishy smell in the air proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.
After I showed them this trick, they all immediately became obedient.
Advice is necessary, but isn't staying alive more important?
Situ Xiu's voice was eloquent and flowing.
"Does anyone have any comments on the three points I just mentioned?"
At that moment, no one dared to speak.
After waiting for a while, the hall remained silent.
He smiled and said
"If there isn't one, then it's settled."
Look.
Sometimes, a tough approach works better.
Is Su Yan pregnant?
Of course not.
However, the two of them were thinking that it was time to consider abdication.
If Su Yan becomes pregnant while recuperating, then she should give birth.
If not, then adopt one.
Such an important matter seemed less important between the two of them.
The following six months.
Su Yan is quite diligent most of the time.
That's probably just his personality.
If it's something that should be done, then I will do it conscientiously.
However, there are still occasional unexpected situations.
If she is unable to attend court, the Empress Dowager will go to oversee the country.
Naturally, none of the court officials dared to utter a single word against it.
The thirty-fifth year of the Tiansheng era.
His stepson, who was only fifteen years old, ascended the throne.
The Empress abdicated and was posthumously honored as the Retired Empress.
The Empress Dowager was granted the title of Empress Dowager Taishang.
Fifty years later, the two died.
Aside from his adopted son, he had no other children.
