Chapter 12 Self-Impeachment
If the ministers were friendly to Sun Yishi, some bad guys would not be offended.
If the emperor was ambiguous about Sun Yishi, then they would need to reach a consensus in private before launching a major impeachment.
But before the first bird came out, Sun Yishi knelt down in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Sun Yishi said and knocked his head on the marble floor. His head instantly turned red and bloodshot.
It can be seen how real this head is. Emperor Yong'an, who was sitting above, did not even raise his eyelids after seeing this
, but just stared at Sun Yishi indifferently, waiting for his next words.
"Your Majesty, I know that I have committed serious crimes, so I am impeaching myself. Please punish me."
Sun Yishi held up the memorial with both hands, lowered his head even lower, and looked ashamed to see people.
"Oh, really? Then tell me what crime you have committed?" Emperor Yong'an asked calmly, glancing at the eunuch.
The eunuch immediately walked down the steps and came to Sun Yishi to take the memorial, but Emperor Yong'an was not in a hurry to read the memorial, but wanted to listen to what Sun Yishi would say.
Then the emperor was shocked, and the ministers were shocked. This was really a self-impeachment!
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I accepted bribes, formed a clique for personal gain, slandered loyal officials, framed good generals, and not only that, I also participated in the buying and selling of official positions and imperial examination fraud."
After saying this, Sun Yishi collapsed on the ground. What the hell, this is not what he wanted to say. What
he wanted to say was that he was deceived by his wife and was tricked by her, so he committed a few crimes, which were not punishable by death.
If there were many, at most he would be dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown, waiting for him to find connections and ask people to say a few good words in front of the emperor, and then he would have a chance to be reinstated.
But now that these charges were out, Sun Yishi knew that he was in trouble.
Not only did the emperor want his life, but those accomplices also wanted his life.
Whether it is buying and selling official positions or cheating in the imperial examinations, they are all major cases that implicate the entire family.
"Oh, then tell me who is involved in the imperial examination fraud case." Emperor Yong'an asked coldly.
Obviously, among so many charges, Emperor Yong'an is most concerned about the imperial examination, which is the most direct means for the court to select talents.
It is also a thoroughfare for the poor to cross the class.
If this thoroughfare is blocked artificially, what will be the consequences!
Emperor Yong'an was shocked when he thought about it. The example of the previous dynasty was there. Emperor Yong'an did not want to be a tyrant or a king who lost his country.
"Your Majesty, Sun Yishi is talking nonsense. Please arrest Sun Yishi and punish him immediately." The Minister of Rites stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, Sun Yushi is dizzy and seriously ill. Please ask the imperial physician to come and treat Sun Yushi." The Grand Scholar stepped forward and said.
With the call of Your Majesty, several ministers came out one after another and knelt in the hall. Emperor Yong'an stared at his ministers coldly.
This is anxious, they are anxious!
Emperor Yong'an ordered lightly: "Drag them away with their mouths covered for trial, Sun Yushi, you continue."
Sun Yushi was trembling with fear. He didn't want to say anything, and didn't dare to say anything. But facing the cold eyes of the emperor, Sun Yushi knew that he would die whether he said it or not.
If he said it, maybe he could win a good reputation of making up for his crime and impeaching himself. The most important thing is that Sun Yushi found that he couldn't control his mouth.
In this case, it is better to go all the way to the end.
The ministers who received the evidence provided by Yun Meng rolled their eyes in anger. This damn Sun Yishi was too cunning.
He must have chosen to impeach himself after he found out that the evidence was lost.
This move was brilliant, really too brilliant.
It was so brilliant that they gnashed their teeth. They were unwilling to miss such a good opportunity to make meritorious service.
Humph, after Sun Yishi impeached himself, they would rush to Qin and add insult to injury.
Some people even regretted not being the first to speak out. They should have impeached Sun Yishi at the first opportunity and not given Sun Yishi the opportunity to impeach himself.
Alas, it's too late to say anything now.
When Yun Meng woke up, it was already noon and he hadn't washed up yet. Chunzhi ran in from outside excitedly, her little face flushed with excitement.
"Princess, princess, good news, good news." Chunzhi stamped her feet excitedly.
"Oh, you made money?"
Yunmeng joked with a smile, Chunzhi shook her head vigorously.
"Princess, this is better news than making money." Chunzhi took the towel handed over by the maid and passed it to Yunmeng.
"Princess, do you know? Something happened to Sun Yu and Shi's family. That bad guy made the old master, the mistress and the young masters leave the capital.
Now he finally got his retribution. Maybe the old master and the young masters can also take a ride back to the capital this time."
"Oh, really? Then tell me what happened to Sun Yu and Shi's family." Yunmeng asked pretending to be ignorant.
As for overturning the case for the Yun family, the case committed by Sun Yishi was too big, and the evidence for the Yun family to overturn the case was handed over to the Yun family's in-laws.
I think the other party will hand it over when they find an opportunity, so Yun Meng doesn't worry about this.
Hehe, last night's action was really fruitful, and several things were solved in one go.
"Princess, listen to me." Chunzhi tilted her head and smiled brightly, and hurriedly reported the news she had inquired about.
Sun Yishi impeached himself in the court, and the impeachment was so cruel. If you talk about the cases committed by Sun Yishi in detail, it is enough for him to die hundreds of times.
Accepting bribes, forming cliques for personal gain, slandering loyal ministers, framing good generals, buying and selling official positions, and cheating in imperial examinations!
No matter which case, as long as one of
them is committed, there is a risk of losing the head. But Sun Yishi committed all of them.
It can be said that Sun Yishi stepped on all the minefields of the emperor.
Sun Yishi’s self-narration in the hall also surprised Emperor Yongan secretly. Emperor Yongan really didn’t know that Sun Yishi was the queen’s man.
At the palace banquet that day, Emperor Yongan did not hear Sun Yishi’s voice, which shows how cautious this person is usually.
"Princess, there is news that Prince Qi died on the battlefield, which may be related to Sun Yishi, but I didn’t get the specific information about this news."
Chunzhi said with some regret, "It seems that someone is deliberately suppressing the news."
Yun Meng raised her eyebrows and shook her head secretly. She did not see any evidence related to King Qi last night. This news may be a rumor.
Of course, it is also possible that there is indeed a hidden story behind King Qi's death in battle, and the mastermind behind the scenes wants to fish in troubled waters and solve the hidden dangers left behind that year.
But there is no need to rush for this. As long as the other party takes action, no matter how deep the hiding is, there will always be a chance to meet.
Hehe, Yun Meng may not have other skills, but the ability to eat melons is first-class. As long as you encounter it, as long as it attracts Yun Meng's attention.
That melon, can it still run away?
That truth, is it still far away?
Yun Meng came to the restaurant after washing up. The little maid immediately brought the delicious food. Mo Bao also received the news that Yun Meng got up, and ran over.
Before entering the door, the sound came in first.
"Mom, Mobao misses you so much."
Oh, that soft and cute little baby voice made Yunmeng's heart melt, and she immediately opened her arms to welcome Mobao's flying.
