Chapter 318: Princess Regent
Qi Zixuan looked up subconsciously. The next moment, his face turned pale: "Jade...yuyuyu..."
"The carving is exquisite and can be called a work of art." Jiang Yi looked over with cold eyes, and her voice was full of coercion, "Tell me, whose craftsmanship is this Fang Yuxi?"
Qi Zixuan was shaking like chaff. Under the huge shock and panic, his mind was in a blur, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.
"This mutton-fat jade is a rare treasure, priceless." Jiang Yi looked at him for a moment, "Who gave it to you?"
"No... no, no, not for me..." Qi Zixuan was trembling all over, and his tone was trembling, "Yes, yes, yes... give it to me... big, big... eldest prince..."
A thud.
In the side hall, Qi Shangshu's eyes darkened and he fell over.
Jiang Yi turned his eyes slightly and slowly looked around the censor present: "Do you have anything else to ask? I believe that Qi Zixuan's reaction has already given the answer."
Several censors knelt on the ground: "Queen, this matter needs further investigation! Please Queen -"
"I will investigate slowly and thoroughly." Jiang Yi stood up, his eyebrows suddenly turned cold, "Here comes someone! The Qi family is being conspired to rebel. The house will be ransacked immediately. Everyone will be arrested and imprisoned. No one is left behind!"
Xuan Nanfeng knelt down to receive the order: "I accept this order from my humble position!"
After saying that, he quickly stood up and left.
"Empress, please spare your life!" Qi Zixuan was almost out of his mind, "This is not what I meant. I have no rebellious intentions! I would never dare to have such a rebellious thought——"
"Qi Zixuan." Yan Zheng walked out of the side hall and interrupted him angrily, "As a minister, you dare to make a jade seal privately. Who made you eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? You don't know that this is punishment. Is it the great crime of the Nine Clans to let the wolf be so ambitious that everyone will punish him?"
Qi Zixuan's unfinished words were stuck in his throat. His face was stiff and pale, and he slowly raised his head to look at Yan Zheng.
Yan Li also turned to look at Yan Zheng, with a pair of dark eyes that were deep and unpredictable.
Yan Zheng didn't even give Qi Zixuan a chance to argue, but directly blamed them all?
Does he want Qi Zixuan to take all the blame on himself and get rid of him?
"Why did you think of making a jade seal privately?" Yan Zheng raised his foot and kicked Qi Zixuan hard to the ground. "You don't know how big a crime this is? Where did you get this jade? Why don't you get it from the real person!" "
"I..." Qi Zixuan lay on the ground, his mind in confusion, not knowing how to respond.
Yan Zheng was furious and wanted to kick him a few more times, but Yan Li stopped him in time: "Brother the Emperor lost control again."
Yan Zheng stopped, breathing rapidly, and his face was gloomy and ugly.
"The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied." Yan Li said indifferently, "I believe that since Qi Zixuan has such a rebellious intention, there should be many important objects in his study... By the way, Mr. Qi has been a minister for so many years. I don’t know if he has done anything shady, such as collusion between officials, buying offices and conferring titles, such as embezzlement and bribery... I just took advantage of this house raid to find out all together. "
Qi Shangshu collapsed in the side hall and could not get up for a long time.
"Eldest Princess..." Qi Zixuan got up and turned to look at Yan Li, his eyes cold and terrifying, "Just because of what happened on the mountain, you want to avenge your personal revenge and have to put the Qi family to death? Are you so narrow-minded? , without any gentleness and tolerance, how can she be worthy of being the eldest princess of Jin?"
"Mr. Qi's death is imminent, but he still can't change his habit of eating shit!" Xuan Xuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked over and kicked him hard, "You men are selfish and despicable, why do you ask women You are virtuous and gentle. Why do you think it is the eldest princess who wants to avenge you? This man deserves to be executed!"
"That's right." Chu Qinqin nodded heavily, "Mr. Qi kept saying that women are born low, and Qi Shangshu also said that ordinary women are not worthy to be compared with the wives and daughters of officials. It just so happened that after the house was raided this time, all the men in the Qi family were beheaded and the women were beaten to the lowest level. Ji, I want you to have a good feel for how the female family members of the Qi family are different from ordinary women after losing their identity protection."
"Miss Chu." Yan Zheng turned around and glared, "This is not the place for you to vent your anger."
"Brother Emperor can speak, why can't Miss Chu?" Yan Li frowned, "Is it because of the difference between men and women?"
Yan Zheng gritted his teeth: "Imperial sister."
"Miss Xuan and Chu Qinqin are both people on Peach Blossom Mountain who have witnessed those things with their own eyes. They are qualified to speak." Yan Li's voice was cold and powerful, "On the contrary, the eldest brother is so angry and frustrated. He looks more like Hiding something shameful."
"Imperial sister, please be careful what you say!" Yan Zheng gritted his teeth, "Qi Yao is my fiancée. Shouldn't I be angry when Qi Zixuan does such a thing?"
Yan Li mocked, his eyes were cold and clear, showing clear wisdom that could see through everything.
anger?
I'm afraid he has more guilt.
"There is no need to argue anymore." Jiang Yi said coldly, "Yan Li, you and Miss Xuan and Miss Chu go back to rest first. Lan Yue and Hong Shang will be taken down to settle them down. No unrelated people are allowed to approach them."
Yan Li nodded.
"In addition, the eldest princess has made meritorious service in handling the case and has been granted the title of regent eldest princess. We will discuss matters together in the morning tomorrow." Jiang Yi said, turning around and giving instructions, "Remember to prepare a decree later and ask the inner court to tailor a robe for the eldest princess."
Yun seemed to accept the order: "Yes."
Shock flashed across Yan Zheng's eyes, Princess Regent?
In just a few days, from princess to eldest princess and then to regent eldest princess, is the queen eager to push Yan Li to the throne immediately?
"I believe no one will object to this." Jiang Yi's eyes slowly swept across the adults present, and his eyebrows were intimidating. "The eldest princess's ability is obvious to all. If anyone wants to argue about the superiority of men and women, I will let him compete with the eldest princess, regardless of life or death."
How dare the imperial censors speak at this time? They all knelt down and shouted: "The queen is wise! The eldest princess is wise!"
Yan Zheng's heart fell into an ice cellar, and he clenched his palms tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
If someone asked him at this time, what is the most regrettable thing he has done since he was a child? Then there is no doubt that it is to let Yan Li return to Jin smoothly.
"In the afternoon, please invite the Prime Minister, General Xuan, officials from various departments, several censors present, and all the nobles with titles in the court to come here to discuss matters." Jiang Yi's voice was cold and majestic, "Especially the officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Shangshu, the Shilang, and the chief must all be present."
Yun Si agreed: "Yes."
Yan Li glanced at Yan Zheng indifferently, turned her eyes slightly, and said to the censors kneeling on the ground: "You adults can prepare more speeches when you go back today. Tomorrow morning, I will continue to debate with you on the concept of male and female superiority."
After saying this, she turned to Xuan Xuan and Chu Qinqin and said: "Let's go."
