Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 438 I believe what you said is true! (seeking subscription)

While the outside world was running around because of Wang Ben's awakening, Yi Zheng went to Xianyang Palace with a memorial.

After waiting for a while, he entered the palace.

Yi said:

"Chen Yi kowtows to His Majesty."

Ying Zheng didn't look up, and said coldly, "The case is over?"

Yi said:

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"The leak case has been dealt with."

"Zhao Gao and his party members pleaded guilty, and they were killed in the market yesterday."

Ying Zheng slightly forehead.

Said: "Submit the memorial."

Yi bowed slightly, and raised the memorial in his hand above his head. Soon, an eunuch walked over. The eunuch took the memorial in his hand, and carefully presented it to the case.

Ying Zheng glanced at the memorial, but didn't intend to open it.

At this time.

Yi directly knelt down on the ground.

Trembling voice:
"Chenchen is also here to say goodbye."

"I am old and my body is getting weaker. I thought I could still hold on, but after handling this matter, I feel completely exhausted. I have always been trusted by your majesty. I am very grateful. If you continue , I am afraid that I will fail your majesty's entrustment, and my majesty will go all over the world. If my negligence causes disasters to the political affairs, I am afraid that I will die. I beg your majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."

Be quiet.

The hall was as quiet as a cicada, without a single sound.

Ying Zheng didn't look up, and continued to review the memorial in his hand, as if he didn't hear it, he said calmly: "How is Zhang Cang now?"

Yi trembled.

Trembling voice:
"Go back to Your Majesty."

"Yushi Zhang Cang caught a cold a few days ago, and he is recuperating at home. This matter has been reported to the Yushi Mansion. The imperial hospital also sent people to check on his condition, and prescribed a few doses of medicine. It shouldn't take long for him to recover."

Ying Zheng slightly forehead.

He raised his eyes and said:
"It's fine."

"I originally wanted to give you a heavy responsibility, but you are good. One of you is sick in bed with a cold, and you can't even move around. The other came to tell me that you want to return to your hometown. You guys, you really don't want to help. I share a little bit."

"and"

"If I remember correctly, you are only in your early fifties, right?"

"This is the time when experience and ability are at their best. How can we say that we should retire from old age and return to our hometown?"

"If you have to resign at even fifty, wouldn't the court have to retire more than half of it?"

"Prime Minister Li Sinian is nearly [-] years old, and he is doing very well in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he has not seen any mistakes. Compared with him, you are young. Why do you have the idea of ​​​​retiring? Is it because I am mean to you and ungrateful? I am a jackal in your hearts? So much so that you dare not stay with me?"

heard.

Yi's face changed drastically.

Panicked:
"I am frightened."

"Your Majesty has no such idea."

"Your Majesty's magnanimity is well known to the world. Who dares to say that His Majesty is mean and ungrateful? I made mistakes in the past. If I didn't trust Your Majesty, how could I continue to serve in the court? Your Majesty's kindness to me, even if I have served His Majesty for thousands of years, it is difficult for me to repay it. Although I have the heart to serve His Majesty for thousands of years, my body is really hard to maintain."

"Your minister was infected with a secret disease when he was in and out of the battlefield in the early years. Before that, he had been having attacks, but now it is more frequent. When the weather is cold, his legs tremble uncontrollably."

"This minister was originally from a humble background, and it is a gift from heaven to gain His Majesty's trust. How can he be compared with Prime Minister Li Si?"

"It's not because I don't want to serve His Majesty."

"It's just that the body is really embarrassing."

"It is true that I am only fifty years old, but my ears and temples have already turned gray, and I have a hidden disease on my body. If I continue to hold an important position, is it just playing with the political affairs of Daqin? Daqin is His Majesty's painstaking efforts. How dare I seek personal gain for this? If it is because of negligence , and let His Majesty's reputation be damaged, the minister is really doomed."

"Please Your Majesty."

Yi kowtowed heavily.

This kowtow is very powerful.

A loud kowtowing could be heard throughout the hall.

Ying Zheng looked intently.

I saw Yi, who had black hair and beard, now had silver hair all over the top of his head, and deep wrinkles could be seen on his forehead, which was tightened by the bun.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but be moved.

"Why do you look so old?" he asked.

Yi arched his hands and said:

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"The minister's ambition to follow His Majesty's grand plans has never dissipated."

"It will never change!"

"It's just that in these years of wind, frost and rain, my body has gradually been unable to bear it. Recently, I have been very panicked, fearing that I will not be able to keep up with His Majesty's pace, but I have gradually discovered that no matter how hard I try, how hard I try, my body is getting weaker and weaker. When it is time to employ someone, and I have won His Majesty's trust, I am supposed to help Your Majesty solve problems, but I propose to retire at this time, it is really wrong."

"Although I have a passion for serving the country, I dare not lose my mind."

"It's not easy for Great Qin to found a country. How can we allow a withered person like me to continue to sit in a high position? Isn't this a waste of His Majesty's energy and trust? How can I be such an ungrateful person?"

"The minister has not slept for several nights."

"finally."

"I suppressed the restlessness in my heart, and after repeated consideration for Your Majesty and Great Qin, I made a decision with rational thinking. I know that I am ashamed of Your Majesty, and I really dare not ask His Majesty for forgiveness."

"The minister is really ashamed!!!"

Yi lowered his head, his eyes filled with loneliness and silence.

It was quiet all around.

a long time.

Ying Zheng sighed lightly, and said sadly, "It's because I was too harsh on you. I only wanted you to solve my problems for me, but I didn't consider your physical condition. I was negligent."

"I really don't want you to go."

"But you have said so earnestly. It would be inappropriate for me to keep you. You have followed me for so many years and have done your best. You have paid enough for me and Daqin. I really don't want to. You continue to hold me I really can't bear to deal with political affairs with a sick body."

"in this way."

"I will depend on you!"

heard.

Yi's eye sockets turned red.

Trembling voice:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

"After the minister stepped down, His Majesty had to deal with more government affairs."

"The minister is disloyal!"

"I am ashamed to trust His Majesty."

between words.

Yi is already full of tears.

Ying Zheng sighed, put the memorial presented by Yi in front of him, opened it and read it carefully, after reading it, nodded and said: "You have handled this case very cleanly and clearly, among the ministers of the court, you can make me You are the only one who is so reassured."

"You are going to retire now."

"The case is closed, and so clear, so let it be."

Yi hastily said:

"The minister is very grateful for His Majesty's trust."

Ying Zheng put the memorial aside, seemed to remember something, and asked, "If I remember correctly, Ying Sinian participated in the trial of this case?"

Yi's face was slightly stagnant.

bowed and said:
"Go back to Your Majesty."

"The Ten Young Masters did participate."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Which part of the case did he participate in? How much specific knowledge does he have about this case?"

Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

nervously said:
"At the beginning, the minister and Zhang Cang Yushi didn't have much clue about how to solve the case. It was the tenth son who suggested that officials could be 'deceived'. The tenth son used to have a unique way to solve the case. After thinking about it, the minister agreed with the tenth son's idea. , so he used some facts to defraud some officials, and Zhao Gao fell for it."

"Seeing that the incident was exposed, Zhao Gao wanted to escape at night, but was finally intercepted by the ministers."

"In the trial of Zhao Gao and his party members, although we had some evidence, some of it was fraudulent after all, and it was not guaranteed that Zhao Gao would plead guilty. When the deadlock was reached, the ten sons volunteered to question Zhao Gao, but only solved the case. The law was created by the tenth prince himself, and outsiders are not allowed to visit, so when Zhao Gao was interrogated, there were actually only the tenth prince and Zhao Gao in prison."

"It turned out that Zhao Gao directly pleaded guilty as the tenth son said."

"I had some doubts at first, and immediately interrogated Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao confessed to his guilt. Only then did I finally convict Zhao Gao."

"This is the part where the ten sons will participate."

"Your Majesty, please be aware."

Done.

Yi was already sweating profusely.

But he didn't dare to make the slightest movement, let alone reach out to wipe it.

Ying Zheng looked at Yi coldly.

He said coldly: "According to you, Ying Sinian almost participated in the entire interrogation? And you don't even know what he said to Zhao Gao?"

Yi said:

"I asked Zhao Gao later."

"Zhao Gao said that he and the tenth prince only talked about the matter in the book, and nothing else was involved. As the saying goes, people who are about to die have good words. I think that there is no need for Zhao Gao to be here when he is about to die. Lie about it."

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but just stared at Yi coldly.

a long time.

Only then said indifferently: "Recently, there have been rumors from the outside world that Zhao Gao was involved in the battle between Ying Sinian and Hu Hai for the crown prince, but now it seems that it is all groundless."

"Is not it?"

Big drops of cold sweat fell from Yi's forehead.

Trembling voice:
"I think it's completely nonsense."

"The tenth son and the youngest son are siblings, how can such absurd disputes happen?"

"The rumors from the outside world are really absurd!"

"I think so too." Ying Zheng said lightly: "Since you are determined to step down, I won't keep you any longer, but the functions of Skynet cannot be let go. Minister of the court, who do you think can take over this position, or Is there a suitable candidate in Skynet? But it doesn't matter."

Yi frowned slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "The person that the courtiers think is suitable should be Shi Lu, but the official position of the Skynet Order, to Shi Lu, can be regarded as a rising and falling, and he may not be willing. "

"At present, in Skynet, there is indeed a suitable candidate. This person is named Tao She, and he is now Tianwang Lingcheng. Tao She is a descendant of Zhou Taoshu. Having made a lot of military exploits, this man is meticulous and careful in his work, and has always been upright in character, and I believe that he can be entrusted with reuse."

"Tao She?" Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said, "Since you recommend it so much, then it's him."

Yi hastily said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Ying Zheng Road:
"You go down to do the handover of political affairs."

"After Tao She takes over completely, I will allow you to step down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yi was overjoyed.Then he respectfully bowed his head and said, "I will take my leave."

Done.

Yi tremblingly got up from the ground, and then retreated respectfully. Just as he was about to step out of the main hall entrance, Ying Zheng's voice rang from his ears again: "I believe that what you said is actually true."
