Chapter 4 Woe to Shu's Daughter
Jin Dongli is the most important advisor of Su Yuan in the house, Su Yuan usually boasts of being very high, and even Xie Yu doesn't think much of it, but he is very courteous to Jin Dongli. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Jin Dongli saluted Su Yuan with a fist, and only nodded slightly to Su Chi, he was used to staying in this study for a long time, so he sat down at Su Yuan's orders.
Su Chi casually took the scriptures on Su Yuan's table and copied the scriptures, while listening to the conversation between Su Yuan and Jin Donglian.
"Shu's disaster, what do you think of it?" Su Yuan said bluntly.
"The subordinates feel that Shu's disaster should be guarded against. Jin Dongli opened his mouth while staring into Su Yuan's eyes.
"Why should I be so restrained, and if I want to hear beautiful words, why should I call you here?"
"Since the prince doesn't mind, Dongli dares to attack the words. General Shu's conquest of the west has won the hearts of the people, and his actions are upright, the former is afraid of violating the sacred heart, and the latter has offended the powerful people of the Manchu Dynasty. Seeing that Su Yuan did not interrupt, Jin Dongli raised his hand again, and continued, "It's not the first time that Lou Xiang has sued the general, before Deputy Commander Shu spoke, who would have thought that the entire Shu clan would be imprisoned in such a small fight?
"What does Dong Liang mean: This matter has something to do with the divine will?" Su Yuan said disrespectfully, but his tone was flat.
"My subordinates don't know Your Majesty's intentions, but they feel that there are a lot of coincidences, and there must be a mystery in them. If you want to find out the truth of the matter, I'm afraid that the bell must be tied to the bell. Jin Dongli withdrew his gaze a little, and his ears were filled with the friction sound of Su Chi moving the paperweight.
"Yunjing's niece is really not simple! According to Dong Li, how should the Su family deal with themselves now?" Su Yuan pursed his lips, and his gaze also glanced at Su Chi.
"Shu Yao is in the palace right now, and the Duke thinks that if the noble concubine Niangniang comes forward, will it be easier? Even if he can't persuade His Majesty to change his mind, it is good to probe His Majesty's tone. Jin Dongli didn't move the refreshments on the table, his eyes were on Su Yuan, but Su Yuan didn't seem to respond to this sentence, Jin Dongli continued, "This matter is either Shu Jiagong's high master, or, or just the beginning." ”
"You mean, after the Shu family, the Su family will also repeat the mistakes of the past?" Su Yuan put the teacup back on the table, and the tea almost overflowed.
"The subordinates don't have this intention, the king's heart is unpredictable, the holy will is impermanent, and it is always good to be prepared. Jin Dongli's eyes were still staring at Su Yuan's tea, and he was a little dissatisfied with Su Yuan's optimism.
But the old man felt that it was better to wait and see what happened at this time. Su Yuan didn't want to continue the topic anymore.
"The national prince insists on this, in case something happens······" Jin Dongli tried to persuade again.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. Su Yuan stood up and strode out of the study with his hands behind his back.
Jin Dongli was a little surprised by what Su Yuan said, after all, Su Yuan was the master, and he was just a cloth cloth, Su Yuan didn't want to listen, and he had no other way.
Jin Dongli turned his head and smiled at Su Chi's thoughtful eyes, he walked to Su Chi's side to watch her copy the scriptures, her Xiaokai was upright and beautiful, "When it comes to copying the scriptures, sincerity is spiritual." ”
Su Chi was not annoyed by the meaning of Jin Dongli's words, she put away the scriptures in her hand, "If the Bodhisattva is great, why do you need people to kneel three times and bow nine times?
Jin Dongli has always been quite complaining about Su Chi's entry and exit from Su Yuan's study. But no matter how much Su Yuan dotes on Su Chi, she is just a girl, she always has to get married, and Jin Dongli is not good at repeatedly admonishing her, but his consistent conformism makes Su Chi have no good impression of him. He didn't answer Su Chi's question, but just asked a topic that Su Chi was more concerned about, "If the girl really wants to know what happened, instead of speculating, why don't you see it?"
"Your Majesty wants a public trial?" Su Chi was surprised.
"Three days later, Tingwei will preside over the trial, and the girl can go and see it. ”
Three days later
Su Chi came in men's clothes, and this was the first time she had witnessed the trial, and she was a little curious. The day before yesterday, His Majesty suddenly issued a holy decree to blame Su Yuan's lack of military needs, which was seen by many as a sign that the Su family building was about to collapse. In the past few days, Su Yuan has not been able to come out, and even the last dynasty has said that he is sick, and there are many people in front of the door.
It was not only men who came to the hall, but also some ordinary women who came to see the excitement, Shu Yunjing's imprisonment caused a storm in Jinling City within a few days, and there were few people in the alley tea shop who didn't know.
In the main seat of the hall is Yan Min, the lord of the court, and the left and right supervisors of the court are listed on both sides of the court, and only sit on the lower hand.
Shu Yunjing was brought to the hall, and his beard had probably not been cut for a long time. Although his face is haggard, he can still see the majesty of a country's generals in prison clothes, and he is still vigorous in middle age.
"Bold criminal, why don't you kneel?" Tingwei's left and right prisoners pointed at Shu Yunjing and shouted angrily.
"General Ben has heard this many times, and in the end those swallows died at my hands. Shu Yunjing was very disdainful, and killed him with one look.
Yan Min, the head of the court, just waved his hand, "How many days haven't you seen, General Shang An?"
Only then did Shu Yunjing cast his eyes on Lord Tingwei Lu Min, "The enemy on the battlefield can't do anything to General Ben, what can I do in this prison in Kyoto?"
Lu Min was not angry at his arrogance and rudeness, but leaned back in his chair, "In this way, the general actually denies the fact that the people are forced to collect military rations?
Shu Yunjing strode forward, "It's just bloody, this general won't admit what he hasn't done, or Lord Lu can try torture to extract a confession." ”
The people in the hall were already talking about it, and Lu Min had to shoot the hall to demonstrate the solemnity. Su Chi was also a little surprised by Shu Yunjing's righteous words, she was a little strange: How did such an upright person become the general of Jianwei? Didn't he say that the soldier was the best at scheming? Didn't he think that the more fierce he resisted, the more people would want him to die, and the more obvious the determination above?
Lu Min finished filming the shocking wood, and his tone became more and more indifferent, "Torture to extract a confession? The general has buckled such a hat, and the lower officials dare not accept it." Since the general is unwilling to admit it, let the witnesses speak and pass the witnesses. ”
The people retreated one after another to make way for a way, and it was Shu Yao who was dressed in soft armor who walked in, she pursed her lips, her eyebrows were resolute, and she was very capable of being a tiger girl. She skipped Shu Yunjing straight and knelt down in the hall to salute.
Shu Yunjing seemed to be very surprised, he hadn't seen this niece for a few years, and he hadn't seen her in soft armor, she had faded away from the innocence of the family, and now she really seemed to look like a female general.
Lu Min stopped Shu Yao before she knelt down, "The general killed his relatives in righteousness, can this official not dare to accept this courtesy, can Deputy Commander Shu have evidence of Shu Yunjing's forcible taxation, wanton expropriation and abuse of power for personal gain?"
At this time, the people in the hall exploded again, and even Shu Yunjing, who had an arrogant attitude before, stared at Shu Yao, compared to supporting the army and treason, the little people were obviously more interested in the parents of wealthy families.
Shu Yao stared straight ahead, his voice was not loud but he spoke slowly, "No." ”
Shu Yunjing beside him was not surprised, as if he should have been.
Lu Min quickly turned around, "Shu Yao, you can't blindly cover up just because he is your uncle?
"Your Excellency doesn't have to scare Shu Yao, Shu Yao was born in Jiangmen, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, so he can distinguish between right and wrong. It's just that Shu Yao can't be untrustworthy, right?" Shu Yao was very calm and didn't be threatened by Lu Min at all.
"But you clearly testify in front of Your Majesty, Shu Yunjing is guilty, could it be that you are bullying the monarch? Lu Min's words sounded righteous, and Shu Yunjing's disdainful snort reached everyone's ears.
Shu Yao said that his uncle was guilty, but it had nothing to do with the crime that the adult said. The uncle has been at the border for a long time, but the daughters of the family are accepting bribes in the capital, as for whether the uncle knows, Shu Yao does not know. According to Shu Yao, it is also a big crime to not govern the family strictly. Every expense of the Shu family is recorded by a special person, and Lord Lu only needs to check it to know how much income is behind the account book. When Shu Yao said this, his eyes flashed straight over Shu Yunjing, pretending to ignore it.
Hearing this, Shu Yunjing looked very angry, Su Chi didn't know if he was angry for his family for accepting bribes or because it was his niece who exposed him. Obviously, Shu Yunjing at this time was no longer as calm as before, and the corners of his mouth drooped, showing a bit of decadence.
Lu Min seemed to have been greatly deceived, he stepped down from his high seat and stood straight in front of Shu Yao, "So the deputy commander is playing a word game with this official? The deputy commander had better think clearly, as long as he is still in this hall, in front of the people of the world, the deputy commander still has the opportunity to tell the facts." Although the deputy commander was born in the Shu family, he was supported by His Majesty, and he couldn't let the truth not be revealed to the world because of a moment of soft-heartedness. The deputy commander needs to think clearly. ”
Lu Min gritted his teeth in the last sentence, and Su Chi was thinking, was this Lu Min offended by Shu Yunjing?
Lu Min, who was standing in front of him, was a head taller than Shu Yao, but Shu Yao raised his head and said coldly, "What Shu Yao said is already all he knows, if you want to know anything else, Shu Yao may not be able to make it up." Shu Yao will naturally take responsibility for what he said, and adults don't need to be so indignant. ”
Su Chi sighed secretly in his heart, this is worthy of a family, and the upright tone between this uncle and niece Lord Tingwei is afraid that there is no way.
Shu Yao signed under Lu Min's gaze, Shu Yunjing's eyes stared at Shu Yao, he didn't seem to react yet, no matter what the people around him said, his eyes never left Shu Yao.
When Shu Yunjing was taken down, Lu Min had already removed the shackles on his hands, and Lu Min also understood: No matter how much he hated him, His Majesty would not kill a major minister for a crime of lax governance, and it was already a matter of time before he was released from prison.
The matter of the Shu family, I thought it would be a bloody storm with wide implications, but it turned out to be just an oolong incident, and the heroine of this oolong incident, Shu Yao, was it deliberate or self-defeating? Or is Your Majesty just knocking on the side, and the people below will be wrong? Su Chi was full of questions and couldn't ask, but she knew that this prison disaster would eventually become a farce, as long as His Majesty reprimanded her, the board would eventually be gently put down.
When Shu Yunjing was taken out of the lobby, he passed by Shu Yao, and he turned the bruises from the shackles on his wrists before shouting loudly: "Why?"
"How my father died, I can't forget, I can't forget. How can I see him when I come to Jiuquan in the future?" Shu Yao's eyes never looked at Shu Yunjing, so she looked as if she was talking to herself.
Hearing this, Shu Yunjing seemed to be unstable under his feet, and even Lu Min's cold snort was powerless to respond.
Shu Yunjing was invited by the government servants, and a big case became a farce with Shu Yao's appearance, and the people who ate melons had dispersed.
Shu Yao took a deep breath, turned around and walked out, Lu Min's words were still ringing in his ears, "Since the deputy commander has the ability to reverse black and white, it is best to be so clever in front of His Majesty." ”
Shu Yao pulled the corners of her mouth and pulled out an arc, it was time for her to go back to the palace.
And dealing with the one in the palace is the main thing, "Father, uncle, aunt······ Don't blame me, yall. ”
