Chapter 349: Lobbyist
Chu Li was arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department in this way, but although the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was changed, after all, the original Shangshu Ji Jiuxiang had been in the Criminal Department for many years, and he had also received the benefits of Chu Li, so he used the means to try the prisoner on the first day that Chu Li was arrested.

As a result, it didn't matter in the first trial, it was directly tried that Chu Li was not on duty that day, and the Cheng family became a false accusation, and then the next trial revealed that Cheng Yong's younger brother and elder brother were fighting for the knighthood.
At this time, Duke Cheng'en was only two months.
Emperor Zhenzong couldn't wait to demote the title of the Cheng family, but he couldn't stand the bitter pleading of the Empress Dowager Cheng, so he had to let Cheng Yi be grounded at home for reflection, but Chu Li, who was so easy to catch, didn't want to just let it go.
"That Chu Li is used to causing trouble, since the widow has been touched by this person's musty, everything has not gone well, you just find a reason to click people." Emperor Zhenzong said.
The current Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a die-hard loyalist of the emperor, and he tried his best to accept it, but when he was ordered, he learned that the people below had already let Chu Li go, but the news that Zhenzong was going to kill Chu Li was spread vividly.
There is also the command of the original Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division so that Tang Zhenshan found Chu Li, "The Imperial Gongwei Division created by Taizu is directly under the emperor's orders, and can arrest anyone, including the emperor's relatives and relatives, you have the holy decree of Emperor Zhaozong in your hand, don't be tough at this time, when will you be hard?" β
Chu Li shook his head, "It's hard to scream alone." β
In fact, this is not the main reason, but he thinks that the Liu family is too selfish.
Although Liu Xiangyue was the governor, he didn't give him any help, and after the Five Emperors were safe, there were rumors that there was a holy decree, but in fact, it was just speculation, and the other party's main purpose was to force himself to send the holy decree over.
But if he really sent this thing over, he was afraid that he would not even have the last support, and he would only force Emperor Zhenzong to deal with himself and the entire Chu family.
Although Zhenzong didn't let him go now, after all, he was only suspicious, and his greatest hope was to quietly search out the holy decree and destroy it without anyone knowing.
At this time, the five princes were just puppets of the Liu family, and the Yu Chu family and himself did not have any benefits, so why did he do such a thankless thing?
He thought that Chu Yu had no feelings for him, but he didn't expect that when the rumors reached Yunnan, Chu Yu sent dozens of secret guards to him, and used the relationships of all parties to speak for himself in the court.
For example, the death of Cheng Engong, if there is no Chu family, if he wants to get out, he is afraid that he will have to stage a full martial arts and pay a great price.
The Chu family treated him like this, so naturally he couldn't go too far.
In fact, until now, he didn't believe that Chu Yu was not his father, but Wei Chi Yilan's words were also eloquent, and he was anxious to marry Ye Jinhui at that time, so he naturally wanted to leave the Chu family immediately.
But the picture of Chu Yu holding him on his lap and listening to A-Niang playing the piano appeared from time to time.
He had already written to ask Ah Niang, but Ah Niang insisted on staying in the Chu family, even if Wei Chi Yilan's words were true, he could only continue to stay in the Chu family for Ah Niang's sake.
But everything the Liu family did disappointed him very much, so he kept hesitating whether to help the fifth prince or not.
Tang Zhenshan: "Emperor Tai and Zu established the 26th Guard, even if there are casualties, if you really want to gather, I'm afraid there are a lot of people, right?" β
Chu Li didn't speak.
There are many people who have looked for him, but he is not very familiar with Tang Zhenshan, so naturally he will not take out all his old bottoms to show the other party.
"Although Liu Yuexiu is a little selfish, this person has a good reputation, you have military power in your hands, what are you afraid of?" Tang Zhenshan seemed to know what Chu Li was thinking, "This is what Mr. Wei Chi asked me to give you." β
Tang Zhenshan sacrificed Wei Chi Yilan, and then he felt that the pressure on his body had plummeted, and said secretly: No wonder so many ministers of Zhaozong did not entrust him, but chose this unknown fourth prince of Chu.
Although Chu Li has a good reputation in Fujian and Zhejiang, the people in the capital began to know him, but it was only after he had the holy decree of Emperor Zhaozong in his hands.
"Actually, I'm more worried about the Tartars, Liaodong has now fallen, the Yumen has been closed, and I heard that every time the Tartars occupy a place, they will directly slaughter the village." Tang Zhenshan continued to speak, "You were only in the rich land south of the Yangtze River before, and you didn't know the suffering of the people in the north, but what is even more bitter is that they are now being slaughtered by our enemies like cattle!" Changing the five princes to power, I don't know if this situation can be improved, but it can ensure that the entire court will not be so miserable. β
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Tang Zhenshan not only received Wei Chi Yilan's letter, but also was a lobbyist of the Liu family.
"I heard that when the fifth prince and the prince met, they already called the prince a general, so it can be regarded as a young age with unique insight." Tang Zhenshan saw that Chu Li's face was indifferent, so he had to continue to pat his ass.
Chu Li glanced at Tang Zhenshan lightly, "I remember that you guarded Yulin before. β
Tang Zhenshan nodded, but his voice sank a little unconsciously, "My family has been guarding Yulin for generations, but unfortunately in my generation, there is no achievement, and there is no home." β
It's not that he was a deserter, but when Zhaozong was in power, the Qi family transferred him back to the capital, and changed Qi Yulai's lineage, those people didn't participate in the war at all, they could only talk on paper, and the Tartars abandoned the city and fled, obviously the other party only had 5,000 people, but he exaggerated it to 50,000, so that the people were panicked, and they kept defending the city day and night, but they didn't see the shadow of the enemy at all.
After ten days in this way, the soldiers were a little overwhelmed, so they loosened up a little, but the enemy army attacking Liaodong had already arrived.
When Datong was lost, Tang Zhenshan asked Zeng to cry bitterly and find Zhaozong to go to the north to lead the troops, but Huang Li'an quietly said to Zhaozong: "General Tang has so many hatreds and feelings, I am afraid that going to the north will affect morale." β
In this way, Tang Zhenshan's desire to fight the Tartars was not only not satisfied, but also lost the command of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and was replaced by Gao Jisheng by Zhaozong.
Today, although Tang Zhenshan is still haunted, as a person who once guarded the Yulin Pass, he does not want it to fall under the iron hooves of the Tartars for a long time.
"Since Emperor Zhaozong chose you, you must have something extraordinary, if necessary, the men and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are willing to be driven by you." He tried for a long time, and was sure that Chu Li really had another holy decree in his hand, so he naturally wanted to get out through some family background. "When I returned to Beijing from Yulin, I brought twenty elite soldiers, and now they are already small leaders in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses."
Chu Li couldn't help but glance at Tang Zhenshan, not because he didn't believe his words, but because he felt that since it was like this, why didn't the Tang family stop King Anshun from launching a coup d'Γ©tat?
"According to what they said when they came back, the ones who really did it were Gao Jisheng's private soldiers, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division didn't move at all." Tang Zhenshan knew that if these questions were not explained clearly, it would be impossible for Chu Li to trust him at all.
