Chapter 356: Crown of Sin


The Jizhou Thorn History Department is the most kingdom in the Han states, with a total of three counties and seven kingdoms, Zhao State, Zhongshan State, Qinghe State, Guangchuan State, Pinggan King, Hejian State, Zhending Kingdom, these kingdoms are scattered, because most of them are anointed places, densely populated, totaling more than two million.There are only three counties: Changshan, Weijun, and Julu, which appear to be small and large.In the spring and March of 73 B.C., it was already half a quarter of the night, but the county government in Julu City was brightly lit, and the county officials whispered, revealing an uneasy atmosphere.Tian Yannian, who had been transferred to Dahonglu, arrived at the county capital on a horse, and Yu Dingguo, a member of the Jizhou Assassin History and the Imperial History, hurriedly greeted him."

The subordinates wait to meet the Marquis of Yangcheng!"

Tian Yannian has been crowned Hou, in January this year, Emperor Liu Yi has decided on the merits, Honglu, Prime Minister Changshi, Yu Shi Cheng, and Tingwei are meeting to punish Julu, so they will reward the ministers who support the establishment of the policy, and seal Huoguang 17,000 households in Hebei and Dongwu Yangyi!

Huo Guang immediately became the marquis of 20,000 households, Zhang Anshi added 10,000 households, Bingji, Su Wu and others proposed that Liu Ai was the marquis of Guan Nei when he established the emperor.And Tian Yannian, who was very eye-catching when he was abolished, also won the title of "Marquis of Yangcheng".But he didn't like this title very much, Tian Yannian wanted to be the marquis of the Huo family, and he was not interested in Liu Han's, so he only greeted everyone at the moment, and asked: "King Guangchuan and his queen have been watched by the internal history, how are the kings interrogating?"

”Imperial History, Prime Minister Changshi, Ting Weizheng, Jizhou Thorn History, etc., their faces are dignified, they belong to different institutions, but now they are ordered by the emperor and the general to come to Jizhou to govern the prison, it has been like the trial of the three divisions in later generations, and it is naturally a big case.And the case is not complicated, after several days of interrogation of Guangchuan Wang Lang's lieutenant commander, servants, and slaves, the crime of Guangchuan Wang Liu Qu has been revealed.Yu Dingguo presented the case with the letter and said: "According to the confessions of everyone, King Guangchuan has three charges. ”"The first crime is to conspire with Yang Chengzhaoxin, the queen of Guangchuan, to kill the concubines Wang Zhaoping, Wang Yudi, Tao Wangqing, Tao Du, Rong Ai and other fourteen people."

This is a horrific case of killing his wife and concubine, and after interrogation, Yu Dingguo and others found that Liu Qu's murder of his concubines Wang Zhaoping and Wang Yudi last year and crushing his bones and scattering ashes was only the beginning of his crime.Tian Yannian looked at the book, Liu Quzhi's evil even surprised him, he really underestimated this guy.For example, his concubine Tao Wangqing was said to have fornicated with Lang Wei, so she was punished by Liu, took the concubines for a public trial, stripped Tao Wangqing of her clothes, and forced her to hold a red-hot iron to burn Tao Wangqing."

The slave confessed, Tao Wangqing was unwilling to escape in pain, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and the body was fished out by Yangcheng Zhaoxin, nailed into his lower yin with a wooden stake, cut off his nose and lips, and cut off his tongue."

And the king of Guangchuan also participated, and together with Yangcheng Zhaoxin, he dismembered Tao Wangqing's corpse, put it in a big wok, and took the peach ash poison to cook it together, wanting to destroy his spirit.He also summoned all the concubines to watch, boiled for days until it was completely minced meat, because Tao Wangqing's mother begged for his corpse, so he killed the slave and disfigured and sent him out of the palace, and found out that the body was not his daughter, and killed Tao's mother. ”"The incident was done in early January, after returning to Guangchuan from Chang'an."

Maybe it was because of the addiction to killing concubines, but in February, Liu Qu and Yang Cheng Zhaoxin began to abuse the palace again, and this time it was the turn of another concubine, Rong Ai.Rong Ai was falsely accused by Yang Cheng Zhaoxin, but he was afraid of following in Tao Wangqing's footsteps, so he threw himself into the well, and when he was rescued, he was not dead and was tortured.She could only accuse herself of adultery with the doctor, so she was tied to a pillar by Liu Qu, burned a red-hot knife, burned Rong Ai's eyes, and cut two strands raw, burned the lead until it melted into water, and poured it into her mouth.Rong loved to die, dismembered his body and buried it in thorns. ”This is just the tip of the iceberg, after interrogation, Liu went to torture and kill a total of 14 concubines in more than ten years, plus the slaves and maids who were affected, there were as many as hundreds, and they were only said to be suicides.One or two are reasonable, more than a dozen concubines committed suicide in a row, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion, and Liu Qu's crime will eventually be exposed one day.Yu Dingguo was born as a official, his father was a famous Qing official in Donghai County, and the local people even set up a "Yu Gong Ancestral Hall", and Yu Dingguo studied the law from an early age, starting from the grassroots level, and served as an official position such as prison history and county decision, and later supplemented the history of court lieutenants, and handled not a thousand cases but eight hundred.But even the most vicious thief is far inferior to Liu Qu and Yang Cheng Zhaoxin, and the rebellion is extremely unreasonable, these two are really a perfect match as husband and wife, but it is miserable for his concubines."

The second crime is to kill the father and son of the prince of Guangchuan."

Yu Dingguo presented the second volume of the interrogation book: "Guangchuan Taifu once bumped into Liu Quling Chongyou sitting naked in the palace, so he impeached and detained the prisoner Chongyou, entered the palace gate without permission, and told the internal history, so he followed the vine and found out that Tao Wangqing and Rong Ai were killed.Liu Qu was shocked and sent someone to assassinate Taifu's father and son. ”And Neishi was also shocked by this matter and reported it to Chang'an, which attracted Da Honglu to take the lead in a thorough investigation, and he was shocked when he didn't know if he didn't investigate, it turned out that under the surface of the noble crown, there was such a deep sin.Compared with these two crimes, Liu Qu's little hobby of tomb robbing is not very noticeable.But Yu Dingguo still tried one thing and solved a Guanzhong mystery case a few years ago.Liu went to reign for more than ten years, gathered scoundrel youth, the domestic tombs, all excavated, Zhou and Spring and Autumn tombs, almost not spared, the internal history report, said that its palace found a secret room, loaded with a lot of Shang and Zhou antiquities.He not only dug the tombs of the nobles of the princes of the Jin State, the Zhao State, and the Wei State, but his subordinate Lang Wei confessed that many years ago, when Liu went to participate in the first year of the Yuanfeng Dynasty Meeting in Guanzhong, he passed by the Yuan Ang Tomb near Anling, and dug it in the dead of night!

”Yuan Ang was an important minister of Jing Shi, with a very high reputation, known as the "Silk Duke", and finally died in the assassination of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, after he was not allowed to succeed to the emperor's throne.Liu went to his side with a group of tomb robbers, sent people to look at the location feng shui in advance, and used the identity of the princes and kings to dig the grave last night, which was his hobby in addition to killing concubines.However, after digging it out, it was found that Yuan Ang was incorruptible, using tiles as coffins, and there were no utensils, only a bronze mirror.This case shook Chang'an back then, and Yu Dingguo was also involved, but he failed to find the tomb robber, so he couldn't do it, but he didn't expect the criminal to be Liu Qu!

At this point, although everyone lamented that Liu Qu's trip was so rebellious, since the trial was out, it was easy to do, and he only needed to report the war to Chang'an and wait for the arrest of people."

Unless the Son of Heaven remembers the love of the same sect, spare him from death."

Tian Yannian smiled, although he was very puzzled by the fact that instead of disposing of Zhang Anshi, the general recommended Anshi as the general of the chariot cavalry, so that he had the right to open the mansion, and his power was second only to the Huo family.However, it was Tian Yannian's strong support for the Liu princes.Although the Jing and Wu dynasties were cut and cut, there were still too many princes in the Kwantung region, especially in this Jizhou, where three counties were surrounded by seven kingdoms, and there were 26 princes, most of whom were princes.In Tian Yannian's view, the princes and kings are big pigs wearing crowns, and the princes and princes are small pigs, and most of the money and grain in the whole state are fed to this group of pigs every year, and if they are used to raise soldiers, they are enough to support tens of thousands of Youji to ride out of the fortress.Therefore, Tian Yannian is going to do a big vote, but he is not just staring at King Guangchuan!

He said: "Although the case of King Guangchuan has been solved, there are still some people who want Man Qian to interrogate well." ”This was something that was not arranged when he left Chang'an, and Yu Dingguo was surprised after receiving the list.The above is a series of crimes found by the messenger of the embroidered clothes: Liu Nian, the king of Qinghe, committed adultery with his sister and had a son, and committed bestiality, and his younger brother Liu Fu, the late marquis, hid a group of thieves and robbed merchants; The two princes of Zhao State, Hou Chaohou and Yi Anhou, killed people and drank four taels of gold; The two great-grandsons of King Jing of Zhongshan committed adultery with his stepmother, and Marquis Anguo hid fugitives.Good guys, Tian Yannian is going to take them and get rid of the two princes and kings and the four princes in one go?

Back then, the lord father Yan was ordered to investigate and punish the princes, but that's it, and his fate was not very good.Yu Dingguo hesitated a little: "Da Honglu, aren't we here to only handle the case of King Guangchuan?"

”Tian Yannian said with a smile: "It is rare for the officials to come to Jizhou, so naturally they want to clear up the redundant crimes of the princes and princes here, do you still know that they will not be investigated, and they will be left to harm people?"

Don't worry, I've gone to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven and the general will definitely allow it!

”He has his own plan, grasping the princes' mistakes and arresting them and removing them from the country, which is conducive to allowing Chang'an to strengthen the centralization of power, add a large amount of revenue to the empty treasury, and make up for the gap in last year's campaign as soon as possible.At the same time, Tian Yannian thought that this matter could also make it difficult for the emperor.Due to the affection of the same clan, the Son of Heaven generally would not order the princes to be killed, or cut down the county, or move away.But the most evil like Liu Qu, if he doesn't kill it, it is not enough for the people to be angry, but if he is killed, he will be regarded as unkind by the princes of the world.Whether you kill or not, it will cause some people to be dissatisfied."

I'm afraid the little emperor is going to make a difficulty."

Tian Yannian secretly sneered in his heart.In addition to preparing to kill a few of the kingdoms of Jizhou in one go, so that the surname Liu in the world was terrified, Tian Yannian was also concerned about another matter.When he returned to the pavilion after arranging his official duties, a deceased soldier he had raised had been waiting for a long time, and reported to Tian Yannian that he had been ordered to monitor that person."

Junhou, General Anxi Ren Hong has left Qingzhou."

After Ren Hong worshiped General Anxi in January, he quickly took leave and left Chang'an, first went to the right to Fufeng to sweep for Ren An, and then went to Hejian to visit his teacher Guan Changqing, and then went to Xi'an Houguo, which was not there last time, inspected the mansion, bought a large field, and then took his wife and son to have fun in Linzi City, and went to Jiaodong to watch the sea.It's really leisure, Tian Yannian stroked his beard, this son is also very acquainted, he took the initiative to take leave, and if he stayed away from Chang'an, he would stay away from trouble, and he only indulged in his beautiful wife and children, and had fun everywhere, this shows that he has no ambition, and he will not help the emperor deal with the general?

Tian Yannian didn't believe that it was that simple.Sure enough, the next thing the dead man said caught his attention."

Recently, the Marquis of Xi'an left Xi'an County again, took his servants to the vicinity of Bishui in Jiyin County, inquired and visited the counties, and finally found a small official who was a farmer."

Tian Yannian immediately became alert: "Fighting food?

What kind of little official can make the dignified General Anzai look for him, and what is his name?

”"That man's name is Tsutsuyuki!"
