Zongren Mansion, main hall.
The main seat is vacant.
Prince Zong Ling Jian passed away, and a new Zong Ling has not yet been appointed.
Now the left sect of the sect's mansion is Beizi Sunu, and the right sect is Beile Yanshou.
To extend one's life, one can click Mao. On weekdays, Su Nu has the final say in the general affairs of the clan.
Today is the first formal interrogation of Aling'a. The presiding judge is Sonu, and the deputy presiding officers are the eldest brother, the third brother, the fifth brother and the eighth brother.
The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother sat under Sunu, while the eldest elder brother and the fifth elder brother sat opposite.
After taking over the errands on September 23rd, several elder brothers were not idle either. They were reading the files of the Zongren Mansion and the Shenxing Division, and then watching Sunu interrogate the servants of the Gongfu, as well as the Wuya family. The , Sai and Li families have close ties with the government.
The time actually goes back to the fourteenth year of Kangxi, when Empress Xiaozhao entered the palace to enjoy the title of concubine, and brought with her the nuns and members of the Niu Hulu family.
At that time, the old man was already dead, and Faka, who inherited the title, had not yet reached adulthood and had not yet married a wife. The person in charge of the palace was the old man's third stepwife, Aling'a's biological mother.
At that time, the title had been decided and Aling'a was still a young son. Who would have thought of guarding against one of his own?
A Ling's biological mother was determined to retain the title. When Empress Xiao Zhao and Concubine Wen Xi entered the palace in the 14th year of Kangxi, she bribed the mothers and daughters around them.
Some of these people were released to foster care, and some worked as errands in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. They were all re-investigated this time.
Nothing was found in the case of Empress Xiaozhao during her lifetime, but something was wrong with Concubine Wen Xi.
Concubine Wen Xi gave birth to Eleven Gege in the twenty-fourth year. She was pregnant again the following year, but it was not more than three months old and she did not announce it widely.
As a result, before three months had passed, Eleven Gege died in Zhaoxiang due to high fever.
Kangxi ordered Concubine Wen Xi to be concealed, but someone took advantage of the loophole and the news reached Concubine Wen Xi.
Concubine Wen Xi had fetal motility and was in bed to recuperate.
When the emperor asked someone to investigate the matter, it was discovered that the person who deliberately broke up the matter and caused the concubine to have a miscarriage was her dowry maid, and then it was found that the Faka couple were responsible, but there was no evidence.
Her younger brother Faqa was awarded the title due to carelessness on official duties, and the first-class Duke was succeeded by Aling'a.
Several princes knew about the past, and except for the fifth elder brother, everyone else had their own thoughts.
This is the darkness under the lamp...
It is also the treacherous mother and son of Aling'a.
They lived in peace for more than ten years, waiting for Aling and A Chengding to make plans, and they also directly used the guise of Hesheli.
The emperor protects the prince, and will not investigate anything involving the Hesheli family. He is afraid that the prince will be resented, and he is also afraid that the Hesheli family will act illegally and drag down the prince's reputation.
The eldest brother felt bored.
The third elder brother was a little lucky.
Check it out, everyone is dirty.
Compared with a noble family that uses a concubine and her son as a raft in order to seize the title, even if my empress is at fault, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
The fifth elder brother was upset.
If the inside story is found out, Khan Amma will probably order it to be kept secret, because he was fooled back then, which would undermine the emperor's majesty.
But it involves Concubine Wen Xi.
Although Concubine Wen Xi did not die in the 25th year, but lost her daughter and had a miscarriage, everyone would have thought that she died of illness in her thirties, which may not have been due to this incident.
There is also the title of Alinga. Are the Faka couple innocent?
Even if A Ling and A's biological mother took action through their hands, is her intention to harm people true?
In that case, telling Brother Ten would create an enemy.
The Eighth Prince was also slightly excited.
Hesheli family, Tong family, is it the turn of Niu Hulu family this time?
Put eyes and ears in the palace...
He guessed the reason why Suo'etu and Tong Guowei questioned him the year before last.
Seeing that the four brothers showed no intention of taking the lead, Su Nu felt heartbroken.
It was originally to investigate the illegal activities of the Aling'a couple, but who would have thought that they could also find out the past fifteen years ago.
When it comes to Concubine Wen Xi, there is definitely no way to make this inside story public.
But without a suitable reason, it would be difficult to punish Aling'a severely.
Among the nobles of the Three Banners, the Tong family has the largest number of assistants. Even including the one assistant of Princess Wen Xian, there are now seventeen assistants; followed by ten assistants of the Guarjia family, and then Niu The nine assistants of the Hulu clan.
There are two males from the Tong family, two males from the Guerjia family, and one male from the Niu Hulu family.
But there are other heads of the Niu Hulu clan, including big and small Spylords.
Things that have damaged the emperor's face cannot be mentioned, and can only be discussed in terms of murdering the emperor's grandson.
But as a result, the relationship between the Niu Hulu family and the tenth prince will be delicate.
It is good for Chengjue's clan to remember the tenth prince, but other clan members may not.
Sunu had a plan, so he ordered to go down and bring Aling'a up.
Aling'a has no condemnation and no chains.
It was only a month and a few days since Su Nu "invited" him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after requesting an order in late August.
Aling'a's scalp was blue and black, and he had lost weight.
His nose was originally a little protruding, but now he has lost weight and his face looks even worse.
He looked at Sonu and noticed Sonu's look.
Who doesn't know that this old dog is an official fanatic who wants to gain merit and seek favor.
After all, he has so many sons, and he is still waiting for the emperor to raise his hand.
Sonu is also keeping an eye on Aling-ah.
There has been a system of "eight discussions" in all dynasties, namely, discussing relatives, discussing old friends, discussing talents, discussing abilities, discussing merits, discussing nobles, discussing diligence, and discussing guests.
The death penalty is exempted from death, and the sentence below exile is commuted.
Aling'a is a relative of the emperor and has a title of first-grade or above. He can discuss marriage and noble status.
The "Eight Discussion System" is also mentioned in "Qing Law".
However, the law is dead and man is alive.
From the beginning of Emperor Taizu, he has emphasized that powerful people abide by the law. Even if they are in charge of Baylor, they are not allowed to go against the law and act in disorder, otherwise they will be punished according to law.
When it came to Emperor Taizong, he specifically mentioned that "national legislation does not spare the nobles and relatives."
Therefore, the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty also had guillotines on their heads.
Thinking of this, Su Nu's expression became solemn. He looked at Aling'a as if he were looking at a dead person and said: "Aling'a, you peeked into the palace news and allowed the Wu Ya family to murder the emperor's grandson. This is treason and should be punished by death. …”
Aling'a immediately raised his head and said: "Master Bei Zi, I am indeed guilty of lax housekeeping, and I am willing to be punished. If there are other charges, I will not admit it!"
Su Nu said: "You don't admit it, but Wu Ya does. The eunuch in the palace who delivers the news to you is the man whom Kangxi of the Niu Hulu family bribed nineteen years ago. You can't pass it on to Wu Ya." .”
Wu Ya was married to Aling'a by the emperor in the 25th year of her marriage, and married into the palace in the same year.
Aling'a: "..."
He tried to remain calm on his face, but he was a little flustered in his heart. He really didn't expect to find out such a secret relationship.
He breathed a little quickly and looked at the other brothers.
The eldest elder brother looked at him with a look of evil on his face, the third elder brother was a little gloating about his misfortune, the fifth elder brother frowned, and the eighth elder brother looked away and did not look at him.
Aling'a's heart sank.
Su Nu had already continued: "There is no need to deny it. Several households have been recruited from Chaoyang Zhuangzi, and they have all been recruited."
Aling'a endured the panic and said: "Are they my Enie's dowry? When Wuya came in, I, Enie, handed all the housework into Wuya's hands. The year before last, Wuya was confused and arranged The manpower was in my brother's office, and I gave her a scolding. She was not allowed to inquire about the palace news anymore. I didn't expect that she would dare to do it again..."
Su Nu didn't seem to hear his excuse, and continued: "The Wuya family has all the evidence for murdering the prince Fujin and the emperor's grandson. She has also confessed and signed the signature. However, she does not admit that she was the one who made the idea. She only admits that she was influenced by you. instructions."
Aling'a's face turned red and angry, and said: "Wu Ya is talking nonsense! How could I care about these matters in the inner house? I didn't know about this at all before the ninth and tenth brothers came to the door..."
He was really angry.
After being imprisoned for more than a month, the trial had not yet come out. He was not so panicked because he knew that he was waiting for the Holy Emperor to return.
But I didn't expect that with Wu Yashi's confession, the investigation would go so deep, and I didn't expect that Wu Yashi would change her story.
Su Nu only picked up a document next to him and said: "According to Wu Ya's personal confession, as well as the testimony of Wu Fu and San Duo, the women of the public household, on August 16, the day Wu Ya went to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, he was with you. During breakfast, Wu Yashi mentioned going to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, but you didn't stop him..."
Aling'a: "..."
"I just misremembered that. Even if I knew she went to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, I never would have imagined her purpose..."
After a pause, he changed his words and still said he was aggrieved.
Su Nu picked up another document and said: "There are testimonies from Desheng, the gatekeeper of the palace, and Li Zhong, the steward. The person who sent the news from the palace was Qian Gensheng, the godson of Si Xi, the eunuch of the Shenxing Department. You are here on August 10th." On Friday afternoon, I met Qian Gensheng in person."
Aling'a's lips were trembling, and she couldn't say anything to refute for a moment.
Su Nu put down the document and advised: "Although you and your wife peeked into the palace news and had the intention of murdering the prince Fujin and the emperor's grandson, it did not lead to any evil consequences. If you confess honestly, the emperor has always been kind to his relatives, and it is just a small punishment but a big warning. If it’s stubborn and unresponsive, it’s hard to say.”
Aling'a showed a bit of weakness and said: "Thank you, Mr. Bei, for reminding me. I want to give the emperor another excuse."
Su Nu nodded and said: "I will also discuss with Prince Zhi and the three Baile to discuss the crime."
Aling'a was taken down.
Sonu looked at the brothers.
The eldest brother said: "This is disrespectful and treacherous. I will be dismissed from my rank and sentenced to death by hanging!"
If Aling'a murders ordinary people, it is a murder for life. If he does not kill, it is a derogation.
But the murderer was a member of the royal family, so even if the consequences were not that serious, the crime would still be increased.
The third elder brother said: "If you lose your citizenship and lose your son, you will not be pardoned. Otherwise, the punishment will be too light and it will not serve as a warning to the world."
The fifth elder brother struggled to read on weekdays and never paid attention to the "Qing Dynasty Code". However, because of the tenth elder brother, he also disliked Aling'a very much, so he said: "It all dates back to the fourteenth year of Kangxi. How can it be possible?" Make sure that Aling'a's brother is also innocent, and he should be held accountable as well..."
The eighth elder brother glanced at the fifth elder brother, but he didn't expect that he would want to be implicated.
The Eight Banners is not particular about involvement.
Besides, the first-class duke of the Niu Hulu family was awarded the title of Yi Bilong for his military merits. Even if Aling'a is convicted, it will still be passed on to his descendants...
