Li Le thought for a while and said: "I asked someone to check, the official who accused Mingyuan of rebellion back then is called Baili'an, a minor official of the sixth grade, he died of illness in the eleventh year of Jinghe, and he was only forty years old when he died, which was in the prime of life. Although it seems that the death is strange, I don't think there should be any such thing as extinguishing the mouth, because there is no need to follow Ben. ”

"You and I both know that the martyrdom of the Liu family was originally instructed by the first emperor, and the reason for following this book is actually the "Treatise on the State" annotated by Ming Yuangong. The first emperor was soft and kind, and Ming Yuan Gong was a great talent, and the original intention of the first emperor was to kill Ming Yuan Gong alone, or to exile Ming Yuan Gong, and then ban the thought of "Treatise on the State". ”

But I didn't expect the situation to develop completely out of control in the end. As a result, there was the most appalling tragedy of the 'Yi Three Tribes' since the founding of the Great Shang. In the middle, some people are fueling the troubles, some people are falling into the ground, and some people are watching from the wall, so it will make things more complicated and confusing. ”

Mo Xichao nodded and said: "Intuitively, after the end of the year, Lin Weizhong was the biggest beneficiary, and that time was the lowest period of his life, and he even did the things of the old princess. And in the end, after the fall of Ming Yuangong, he became the flag bearer of the Surin Party in one fell swoop, and had the strength to compete with the then Prime Minister Xia Wei. ”

This is completely contradictory to Mu Xiang's remarks that he wanted to take charge of the Surin banner, because Mu Xiang and Ben did not have that prestige or strength at that time. The reason why Lin Weizhong was able to take over Su Lin with the Ping'an County Order of Wupin Jingzhao Mansion was because he had more than 30 years of advancing the army to quell the rebellion against King Zhao. ”

"The Wuzong Dynasty is the 'Three Heroes' of the year, Ming Yuangong, the uncle of the Li family, and Lin Weizhong. The three of them were the leaders of the struggle with the old party back then, when Mingyuan Gong fell, and the fairness was pushed in the northwest of Jingluo, and only Lin Weizhong was qualified to carry the flag in the land of Gyeonggi, and Mu was only a four-grade center walking without any prestige, but anyone with a normal brain could not have the idea of carrying the banner of Surin, judging from Mu Xiang's actions over the years, he seemed to have an abnormal brain?"

Mo Xichao stopped his words and frowned tightly, he really couldn't figure out the things in between, and after a while, he asked again: "Zhi'an, about the matter of Ming Yuangong, did the Li family's uncle Immortal leave anything before he died?"

Li Le shook his head and said, "No, I am very concerned about the affairs of Ming Yuangong." I searched through all the things in the house, and I didn't find anything of value except for some normal correspondence between my father and Ming Yuangong back then. I heard my second brother say something inadvertently many years ago. ”

"After the tragedy of Ming Yuangong that year, my father heard the news, directly abandoned the duties of the Northwest Jiedu envoy, quickly returned to Beijing, and almost strangled Zhao Jishan to death in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. From this point of view, my father was also very shocked to learn the news, and he was not at all mentally prepared. ”

Mo Xichao sighed and said: "Yes, it's too fast, it's reasonable for Uncle Li to be caught off guard, in just half a month, everything is verified, and then the Liu family began to be razed by the three clans." You must know that Kong Liqing's case has been tried for several months, and it only took half a month to finalize such a major crime as treason, and the matter is too strange. ”

Li Le also had a feeling of helplessness, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that His Majesty Wuzong's own sister has died a long time ago, otherwise I might be able to ask something from her." After all, Lin Weizhong was her face back then. ”

Speaking of this, Li Lehe laughed and said: "That eldest princess of Liguo can be regarded as a wonderful flower in this dynasty, the princess of Dashang has never been valuable, but this emperor is the only sister of Wuzong, it can be said that Emperor Wuzong has been raised by her since she was a child, and she is naturally very favored." This emperor has never married in her life, and she has practiced in the Qingyue Temple, but she has raised countless faces. Men can be changed casually, this is the most noble emperor in this dynasty, and my Yong'an is definitely not as good as her. ”

Mo Xichao said helplessly: "Can you not add this kind of affair when talking about business? Or do you also want the eldest princess to have countless faces like that Emperor of the Liguo and tie a bunch of green turbans on your head?"

Li Le sneered: "Gossip is something that people like to see. Everyone else is gossiping about me and Yong'an, so naturally I have to find other people's gossip to balance it out. ”

Mo Xichao ignored his impropriety, but frowned and said: "The current situation is too chaotic now, and things are a little difficult to handle." ”

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Then solve it one by one." The order was sent to Zhao Shi, and he was ordered to command all the members of the envoy to go out, cooperate with some of the damaged tiger divisions, and with the assistance of the seventh brother, together with the three law divisions, to investigate the case. Please decree that all the officials involved in the case are still alive now. Whether it is a cabinet minister on the first grade or a small official who is not in the stream, Xuanyi has the right to ask. ”

"Well, also, try to suppress the impact of Mu Xiang's fall to the bottom, because this matter is too strange, and it is not appropriate to make more noise before finding out the truth, so as not to fall into other people's bureaus. Kong Liqing is a good target, so let's set him up as a shield. Actually, if you want to know what Mu Xiang thinks, I think you should ask Brother Qi to ask and maybe you will know the answer. After all, Seventh Brother is the only descendant of Ming Yuangong, if Mu Xiangzhen is ashamed of the Liu family as he said, then he must have said something to Seventh Brother. ”

After Mo Xichao heard such an order, his pupils shrank, and after being silent for a long time, he asked: "Zhi'an, in this way, except for some losses, the Xuanyi Forbidden Army is basically equivalent to the entire dispatch, so ...... in Beicheng?"

"It's good to have fewer deaths, this time Mu Xiang's case also gave me a reason to send Kui Niu out, so there should be no loopholes......

Li Le's expression was a little gloomy.

Mo Xichao was silent for a long time before he said, "When the time comes, I will be with you." ”

Li Le shook his head and did not speak.

……

In July, the weather is hot and dry.

People's hearts are also very enthusiastic about this season, and since Emperor Xinwu succeeded to the throne in the past seven months, there have always been many exciting things happening. First of all, he respected a clean official like Haizhenru, and then the Xuanyi Forbidden Army rode out in all directions, and took a lot of corrupt officials and nobles.

This shocked the morale of the people in Beijing, and it was rumored that the Supreme Lord was indeed our Supreme Lord, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he began to look up for us "vulnerable groups". That's right, the year name of the Supreme Lord is still given by us.

Then, more exciting news came out, among the eight prime ministers, two of them actually fell. One is Mu Liuxiang and the other is Kong Sixiang.

Mu Xiangye heard that it was because it was related to a case more than 20 years ago, and it was an old case of more than 20 years, what kind of matter is this, who cares so much? However, it is rumored that Mu Xiangren is still very good, there are two sons and one daughter in the family, except for a set of mansions in Beijing, there is no other industry, and there is no bullying of domestic slaves in the house.

And he is the same in his life, he is very modest, and I have never heard of him being greedy. The left and right are just old cases from many years ago, it's not a big deal, the Supreme Lord is a little fussed. But it's none of our business, just say a few words and it's over.

However, that Kong Sixiang was really a thief, how could the dynasty let such a person be the prime minister? A person as holy as the first emperor was still deceived by this thief. Selling my Han family's seeds to the enemy country as slaves, he is really a sinner with the highest evil! The Supreme Exterminates His Family and executes his entire family is really pleasant. Such a thief should end up like Ling Chi! When the time comes, everyone must sell him a piece of meat to eat......

Under the influence of Xuanyi's public opinion, the people in Beijing are waiting for the day when Kong Liqing is Ling Chi. As for the case of the Mingyuan Sage back then, they didn't care much about it. Even if Mu's house was raided, such a thing as Miss Mu, who was beautiful and beautiful, was used as an official prostitute, it would not arouse their interest.

……

July 15, Midyear Day.

Inside the prison of the Criminal Department.

"So, are you here to come in with the old man?"

Zhao Jishan, who was wearing prison clothes, had all white hair, and was covered in dirt, looked at Mu Fuduo, who was also in prison clothes in front of him, but was breezy and calm, and asked.

Mu Fu nodded and said, "Yes, Mu Mou came in to accompany Zhao Xiang, after all, the old man conspired with Zhao Xiang back then, and it is also appropriate to die with Zhao Xiang at this time." ”

Zhao Jishan laughed and said: "The old man asks after the autumn, you also ask after the autumn, fellow travelers, the old man on Huangquan Road is not alone." ”

"Zhao Xiang, Ming Yuangong's matter, have you felt guilty for so many years?"

Mu Fuduo looked up at the top of the cell and asked calmly.

Zhao Jishan was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said: "There is no guilt, the old man is a loyal dog of the first emperor, and the old man will bite whoever the old man asks the first emperor to bite." Mingyuan Gong ...... He died a well-deserved death. ”

"Yes, the teacher died a well-deserved death. Mu Fanduo straightened up and said with a smile: "After following the teacher, Mu also died well." Mu sacrificed his life and blood, so that the brilliance of the teacher would shine through the ages!"

Zhao Jishan frowned, thought for a while before sighing regretfully, and said, "Impossible." ”

"There's nothing that isn't possible, just because you didn't make the effort to do it. A smile appeared on Mu Fuduo's face and said, "This is the truth that the teacher told me. Perhaps, my efforts are not enough to change anything in today's world, but, Zhao Xiang, Mu used his life to ignite a seed of hope. ”

"Is it worth it?" Zhao Jishan said: "A faint fire may be extinguished by a gust of wind blowing at will." ”
