Chapter 199 The End of the Shen Family
On the second day after Wen Yichen went to the border, Wen Yiheng immediately produced new evidence.
Most of these evidences are about how the Shen family has been inactive in the court in recent years.
Not only that, but many innocent people have suffered.
The emperor looked at the memorials which were thicker than books, opened them and frowned slightly.
In recent years, the Shen family has been involved in all the major and minor cases that have occurred in the capital.
The emperor never imagined that the Shen family had been so successful over the years.
Under his protection and protection of turning a blind eye, he actually did so many heinous things.
The emperor also found it strange that Wen Yichen left the capital the day after.
Wen Yiheng couldn't wait to present so much evidence, hoping to destroy the Shen family.
The emperor also felt that something was wrong.
The emperor looked at the memorial and pretended to be very angry.
He immediately pulled Lord Shen out and asked, "Shen Yu, you should take a good look too!
Every single thing mentioned above!
Was it your family who did this? "
The emperor immediately threw the memorial in his hand to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the memorial.
Some of the cases mentioned in this policy did involve the Shen family.
But there are many more that he didn't do at all.
He also investigated privately and found out that these things were actually done by Li Jing.
But now Li Jing is also dead.
After Shen Yu finished reading the memorial, he immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, our Shen family will follow you.
From a prince to the emperor. Watching you ascend to that position step by step.
Over the years, the Shen family has been working diligently and wholeheartedly for Dayun Dynasty.
But I didn't expect that when I got old, I would be framed by others.
I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!
I have also found out who is behind these things!
I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to defend myself."
The emperor also recalled that the Shen family had indeed helped him a lot over the years.
These memorials were all submitted by Wen Yiheng.
The emperor also knew Wen Yiheng's nature, and there were still some problems with him.
The emperor showed these things to Shen Yu naturally because he wanted to give him a chance to defend himself!
The emperor's expression eased, and he sighed and said, "Shen Yu, I know you have been helping me all these years.
I also know very well what kind of person you are and what kind of person your family members are.
If you want to accomplish some of the above things, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
I show it to you because I want you to think carefully about what you have done and what you have not done!
If you remember it, then tell me about it yourself."
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't have the ability to do big things, but he could still do some small things.
Almost all the matters mentioned in this memorial were major events that would result in the execution of the entire clan.
Shen Yu felt terrified just by looking at it.
Shen Yu was also very clear that this was a report submitted by Wen Yiheng, and it seemed that he could not wait any longer.
Shen Yu had actually been prepared for this. He could tell that Wen Yiheng was a tough guy.
The scenes of his daily confrontation with Wen Yiheng during that month are still vivid in his mind.
Wen Yiheng was able to report this because he relied on the fact that he was a prince.
In addition, his power in the court was constantly expanding, so he thought he had a sure win.
Shen Yu carries a secret document with him every day, and in this document, there is something that even Wen Yiheng is afraid of.
Shen Yu turned his head and glanced at Wen Yiheng provocatively.
Wen Yiheng also felt Shen Yu's burning gaze.
Wen Yiheng thought Shen Yu was just making a last-ditch effort!
Little did he know that the look Shen Yu gave him was mocking him for being too young and hot-tempered.
Shen Yu took out a letter from his arms and presented it to the emperor.
After the emperor read the letter, he laughed. He was just laughing out of anger!
The emperor looked at Shen Yu, and Shen Yu immediately understood that this meant he wanted him to explain.
Shen Yu immediately knelt on the ground and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Your Majesty! I spent a lot of effort to get this letter.
When I first heard about the Second Prince, I always felt that there was something odd.
So I sent someone to check it out privately. I was shocked when I checked it out.
Your Majesty, this Shanyuan Temple is not a place where a nun can cover up the truth and do something wrong.
I followed the clues and visited many people before I finally found the letter in a corner of the nun's basement.
At first, I also thought the content of this letter was fake.
After all, how could a person who has been abandoned for a long time and has a low status have the ability to do such a thing?
I ordered people to investigate for a long time, and the facts were indeed the same as what was written on the envelope.
Please understand, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at the handwriting and found that Li Jing's handwriting was indeed good.
The emperor thought that Li Jing did not dare to do anything dirty in private because he was not favored.
He didn't expect that Li Jing would play such a big trick on him right away.
For more than ten years, all the income of Shanyuan Temple has gone into Li Jing's pocket.
Li Jing appears to be poor, but he is actually rich!
The emperor thought he had the harem under control, but he didn't expect the women in the harem.
He actually escaped from her control and even wanted to control his court.
The emperor looked at Wen Yiheng with more and more disgust.
The emperor can like a person's children just because he likes her.
You can also hate a person's children just because you hate her.
Wen Yiheng was completely confused as he listened nearby. He indeed didn't know that Shanyuan Temple was Li Jing's property, but he did use a single cent of the Shanyuan Temple's money.
All the ministers in the hall were confused for a moment as to what was going on.
Who exactly were they discussing between the two of them?
They looked at each other in confusion, as if hoping that the other party could know the news.
But there was confusion on everyone's face.
The emperor also wanted to let everyone see what this was all about.
The emperor immediately shouted: "Wen Yiheng! Look at what your bitch mother has done."
As the emperor spoke, he walked straight to Wen Yiheng and pinched his neck with his hands.
Although the emperor is a little old, his hands are still strong.
The ministers had never seen the emperor so crazy. Seeing the emperor like this, they could only kneel down and ask him to calm down.
Wen Yiheng was pinched by the emperor's neck and dared not move.
He didn't know why the emperor suddenly did this, but he knew he couldn't resist.
Wen Yiheng kept coughing, and finally he managed to bring the emperor back to his senses.
Wen Yiheng immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, his tone full of fear: "I don't know what I did wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Wen Yiheng's expression and naturally didn't believe that Wen Yiheng was unaware of the situation.
The emperor threw the letter into Wen Yiheng's arms.
Wen Yiheng picked up the letter, looked at it carefully, and found that it was actually the contract between Li Jing and the old nun.
Wen Yiheng recognized Li Jing's handwriting. It was exactly Li Jing's handwriting and no one had ever forged it.
If Wen Yiheng knew about this, the emperor would definitely not let him go.
He hated Li Jing so much at this moment. When he was alive, he brought him endless harm. He didn't expect that he would still be like this after death.
This incident was a complete loss of face for him.
Wen Yiheng didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to put these things aside as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be dragged into this mess.
Wen Yiheng immediately knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "Father, this is mother's handwriting. But I really don't know.
Over the years, my mother just said that she wanted to stay with the Buddha forever, so she went into seclusion.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been alone.
The son really didn’t know that his mother would do such a rebellious thing.”
The emperor didn't believe him since she was his mother.
Whether he knows it or not, he has to pay for it himself.
The emperor looked at Shen Yu again, wanting to know what he was thinking.
How could Shen Yu not see what the emperor was thinking?
The emperor wanted to punish Wen Yiheng, but now, he needed to come forward and speak.
Shen Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before speaking: "Your Majesty. Since ancient times, it has always been the parents' debt, and the son must also repay it!
Perhaps the Fifth Prince was unaware of this, but he also enjoyed that money.
Now that he has enjoyed this right, he should fulfill this obligation.
This is just the first one I found. There are still some more. I have some more evidence here. Your Majesty, please take a look."
The emperor looked at the evidence again, and each piece of evidence was even more terrifying.
A woman of low status became a concubine by climbing into the emperor's bed, and then used the excuse of being a concubine to embezzle so much money.
The emperor remembered that Wen Yichen had reminded him about Li Conghe.
Unexpectedly, he was actually on this list.
The emperor immediately called Li Conghe out and asked him to have a good talk.
The emperor's face turned pale and he stared at Li Conghe.
Li Conghe has embezzled a lot of military pay over the years.
Li Conghe has always appeared in the public eye as a simple and honest person.
No one would believe that he would embezzle military pay.
Li Conghe has been very careful and cautious in these years, and he now doesn't believe that the Shen family could have found him.
Li Conghe, from the moment he knelt on the ground, kept crying and shouting that he was being wronged.
He even started to complain: “I think I have been frugal enough over the years. If I were you, I would have been corrupt.
How can one be so frugal? That would be wasteful!"
Shen Yu had long guessed that Li Conghe would say this, and immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a witness. He is waiting outside the palace.
Please allow the witness to come in and correct us, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded.
The owner of the largest pawnshop in the capital walked in.
He knelt on the ground and laid out the things that Li Conghe had pawned in his shop.
The ministers took a closer look and gasped.
The boss also brought a pawn book signed by Li Conghe himself.
Li Conghe pawned some valuable items in his early years.
What Li Conghe didn't know was that the valuable things he pawned were actually a piece of jade that most people in Dayun Dynasty dreamed of.
That piece of jade was unearthed from an ancient tomb and is very valuable.
As for how it ended up in Li Conghe's hands, it was naturally bought with military pay.
That piece of jade is priceless and requires more money to buy it.
Li Conghe originally gave the military pay that he had embezzled to Li Jing for processing.
When Li Jing gave him the jade, he thought he was being tricked. Unexpectedly, he realized its value when he pawned it.
The pawnshop owner also realized that Li Conghe did not know the value of things, so he gave him a few thousand taels of gold and sent him away.
Shen Yu originally liked collecting antiques. He saw it by chance in a pawn shop and finally found it out.
Wen Yichen had told him all this a long time ago. That's why he deliberately tried to get close to the pawnshop owner, so that Shen Yu could find the evidence.
When Li Conghe saw that all the evidence was there, he collapsed to the ground.
By embezzling so much military pay, he committed a heinous crime that would implicate his entire clan.
Li Conghe had no choice but to tell the truth about how he cooperated with Li Jing.
The ministers present were all fascinated by the talk, as if they had eaten something fresh and big.
Only Wen Yiheng was shivering beside him.
Wen Yiheng also presented some evidence, evidence that Shen Yu had embezzled disaster relief funds over the years.
The emperor was very happy in his heart. He knew all these things, but he had never found a chance to deal with them.
Now the two of them were fighting each other, which just gave him an opportunity.
Wen Yiheng also investigated Shen Yu in private and presented the evidence.
In an instant, many people knelt in front of the hall.
The emperor looked at these people with some disappointment.
He knew that these people were the parasites of the Dayun Dynasty. It was time to clean them up.
Li Conghe's entire clan was naturally implicated, and their home was taken away from him, along with all the money he had embezzled over the years.
Li Conghe embezzled money over the years, but his quality of life did not improve, and he ended up like this.
The Shen Yu clan was naturally also affected.
The amount of disaster relief funds embezzled by Shen Yu was not much, but it was still a violation of the law.
The emperor also knew that the Shen family had paid a lot for him over the years.
The emperor dismissed Shen Yu from his post. The Shen family has always relied on Shen Yu, and no one else can do it.
The emperor also demoted the other members of the Shen family and moved them out of the center of power.
As for Wen Yiheng, the emperor immediately asked him to return all the money that Li Jing had paid.
Moreover, his official rank was demoted again and again, and he was not allowed to attend the morning court for three months.
This farce finally came to an end. Wen Yiheng was not afraid, as he was the only prince in charge of the court.
Even if he was not there, he had many spies in the court, so he was not afraid at all.
Shen Yu knew that being able to retire and return home was already the greatest blessing.
He made a mistake, so Shen Yige would naturally be punished as well.
Shen Yige was directly demoted to a commoner, as for Wen Yifeng.
The emperor didn't like him in the first place, and now he is a disabled person, so he is dispensable!
The emperor issued an edict, imprisoning Wen Yifeng in his own palace for life and not allowing him to take a single step out of the house.
