Among the courtiers, the official is a group of special existence, the left and right words are correct, the secretary advises, the palace serves the imperial history, supervises the imperial history, and the six departments give things, the left and right counsel doctors, the imperial history doctors and so on, covering the court and the locality, and the grade is from the seventh grade to the second grade, constituting the top-down supervision body, admonishing the son of heaven, correcting hundreds of officials, investigating the rule of officials, patrolling the locality, with considerable autonomy, both the eyes and ears of the court, and

The official ambition is cloudy: "The imperial history is the responsibility of wind and frost, impeachment and lawlessness, hundreds of bureaucrats are terrified, and the majesty of the officials is incomparable." The old system, but it's just an outline. However, at the end of the dynasty, under the social turmoil and the collapse of the system, this kind of supervision function was gradually lost, and it often became a tool for political ~ struggle, and Liu Yu's experience of this was not the first time, so his performance was quite calm.

"Dare to ask Liu Sheren, the envoy of the Yuan people came to Beijing with a book, and talked about the matter of your envoys, from August to September, more than a month, what happened to you in the city, can you go out here one by one, in order to solve the confusion of the court?"

Ji Ke's voice sounded behind Liu Yu, and he knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't repeatedly refused the summons of the political affairs hall, this question should have been raised there, did they care about their own answers?

"After what happened, the messengers who returned in advance all submitted letters of reply, could it be that they did not deliver them? Or did the princes think" Liu Yu swept his head sideways over the few people standing at the front, neither Chen Yizhong nor Liu Mengyan looked at him, and then continued: "What is wrong with it? ”

Since they chose to start here, they must have some reliance, Liu Yu recalled in his mind, those days were dedicated to arranging revenge plans, and he didn't have any dealings with the Yuan people at all, but occasionally sent people to the Yuan people to ask, but it was just pretending, what is there to say?

"Don't misunderstand the people, I will naturally receive the reply, but some of the processes do not match what the Yuan people said, above the court meeting, in front of the officials, saints and everyone, please say it again."

"Now that you know, what does the official have to say, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

It seems that Liu Yu's reaction was expected by him, and after being rejected, he was not annoyed, and took out a piece of paper unhurriedly and unfolded it in his hand.

"If you don't want to say it, then listen to the lower official, this is a passage on the Yuanren document, and the lower official will read it here." After that, he began to read aloud: "August 28th, the Song Dynasty envoy Weifu out of the museum, Qucheng God's Temple, Bao Dafang, Dingren Fang, the end of the time into the Qionglou, to three o'clock in the afternoon, and through Huaiyuan, Taiping, Dangui and other places, during which many lingered in the wine shop, bookstore and other places, Shen Shi at the end of the return, according to the messenger's reply, they entered the city on August 27, that is to say, this is the second day of the mission into the city. ”

"On August 30, the Song envoy went out again, followed the horizontal street to the drum tower, stayed for a long time in the diagonal street of Haizi City, returned at dusk, on September 3, the Song envoy went out at noon, passed the Deqing building in the city, there was a Han army in the building and did not enter, in the periphery of the watch for a long time on the sixth day, the Song envoy went out of the museum again, followed only two people, went to the middle street, the curfew was coming, three people entered the Deqing Building, did not return all night, until the next morning"

Liu Yu listened to these records, and remembered those days in the capital, needless to say that this must have been recorded by those who followed the Yuan people, the date or something he had long forgotten, and what he did at that time, but it was clear, Deqinglou's overnight stay was the day of the assassination of Li Renfu, and he didn't expect those people to squat outside all night.

"Xiaguan has inquired with the Yuan people before, and these buildings are the famous Chu Pavilion in the capital of the Yuan people." The official deliberately emphasized it, which caused a heated discussion in the hall, and then looked at Liu Yu in front of him and said sarcastically: "In this regard, I don't know what the Sheren say, is there any truth in the record of the Yuan people?" ”

"Finished?" Liu Yu waited for him to finish speaking, paused for a while, and seemed to be waiting for the hall to quiet down.

"The ones in the back are similar, if you want to give up people, wait for the empty official to read it with you, today's time is limited, let's make a long story short. If you look at it according to the records of the Yuan people, you can live at ease over there, not as eager as the book said, but it reminds me of a sentence. His eyes rolled around, and his face was a little smug.

"It's fun here, don't think about it."

After that, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty snickered, and even the two prime ministers led by them couldn't help laughing, but fortunately, they still knew that they were reserved and didn't let themselves make a sound, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, and made a quiet gesture.

"Okay, a question is a question, don't gag, this is a court discussion." Then he turned to Liu Yu, "Liu Ziqing, at the beginning, you didn't want to deign to come to the political hall, in front of the sages of the official family, can you answer the words of the official?" ”

"Xiang Gong said that he was serious, and the political affairs hall was called, and he should have pursued it, but he had something important to do at that time, so he wanted to go to the crime in person in a few days, since Xiang Gong wanted to answer here, then I also wanted to ask." Liu Yu arched his hand in the direction of the throne and turned to look at the official.

"Since you have asked the Yuan people, can you answer the official that for more than a month, the Yuan people have ignored them, what is the reason?"

"How can you know this, but that's not an excuse for you to linger in the Qinglou." The official was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to refute.

"How do you know that this official is not for official business?" Liu Yu's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth, and without waiting for the official to continue to ask, he turned to the direction of Liu Mengyan, "Regarding this matter, there is a hidden secret, but the matter is confidential, and it is inconvenient to tell you here. ”

Now it was Liu Mengyan's turn to be embarrassed, Liu Yu's tone was conclusive, he was not sure that the other party must be lying, let alone endorsing it. Seeing that it would turn into a war of words, Chen Yizhong stepped forward with a kind expression and stopped the further development of the situation.

"Since there is another inside story, I will talk about this matter later, Ji Yanzheng, do you have any questions?"

"No, the next official will retire." Ji Ke gave a deep salute and simply returned to the court.

That's it? Liu Yu looked at Chen Yi and the others, and found that they had no intention of stopping them, until they retreated into their positions, they were suddenly stopped as they imagined? The thunder is loud and the rain is small, and there must be demons when things go wrong, what Liu Yu feels in his heart is not relaxation, but greater vigilance.

"Pan Wenqing, the minister of Dali Temple, has a play." A scarlet-robed official with a small stature flashed out of the row behind Liu Yu standing, stepped forward and gave a deep salute.

"Exactly." The little emperor replied clearly.

"Your Majesty, the Yuanren envoy arrested by Xie Zhenfu before was interrogated by this temple in conjunction with the Lin'an Mansion, and the charges against him were found to be unsubstantiated, and he should be released according to the law. It's just that the envoy refused to give up, insisted on facing the saint, saying that he wanted to seek justice, and the minister had no choice but to ask the public for an idea here, how to deal with this matter. ”

This was indeed a tricky matter for those who had illusions, and after some deliberation, the ministers decided to agree to the man's request. Under the instruction of Liu Mengyan and others, in less than a moment, the attendant on duty brought a person in from outside the hall, this person was dressed in Mongolian clothes, his nostrils were facing the sky and his expression was arrogant, and he was taken to the front position by the attendant, and he stood upright, neither saluting nor speaking, as if the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and even Liu Yu was ashamed of himself.

"Why don't you salute my emperor?" This time, even Liumengyan couldn't stand it.

"What kind of birdman are you?" He Er's glanced at him, and he glanced around, and the words he spat out almost didn't knock him down.

"Arrested us for no reason, it should be you who should be the one who will be responsible for the crime, if there is no satisfactory statement today, all the consequences will be borne by you."

Yuan Ren's voice was very loud, and it suddenly quieted the originally noisy court, and became silent, Liu Yu looked at his colleagues nearby, and his face turned red one by one, and the older ones were shaking, but no one dared to stand up and refute them.

The situation was obviously beyond the expectations of Liu Mengyan and the others, in such a situation, no one dared to put forward their ideas again, Liu Mengyan was in a hurry, and glanced at the person behind him, and the person stepped forward a little helplessly, lowered his voice and said to the envoy.

"I'll talk about the crime later, you are rude to people like this, how can you talk about things?" Although Chen Jingxing's voice was not loud, it still reached the ears of the people in the front row.

"It's not what I want, your envoy is so rude in our court, and now I'm just doing the same, you know?"

As soon as this sentence was said, the entire court was suddenly like boiling water in a pot, and countless eyes shot at Liu Yu's position, and what he saw was a calm and waveless expression, and such an expression just confirmed Yuan Ren's words, and for a while, even Meng Zhijin, Lu Xiufu and others sweated for him.

There is such a description on the Yuan people's questioning document, and the people who originally saw it thought it was an exaggeration, but they didn't expect it to mean this, and the rudeness of the king angered the Yuan people, which caused the later tragedy, can this be blamed? It's just his own death, and public opinion has quietly changed further, and some of the courtiers who were originally inclined to him or the middle have unconsciously turned around.

"Please go down first, and we'll talk about this later." There is no way, you can't fight in front of the Yuan people, Liu Mengyan and the others secretly discussed it and took an idea of delaying.

"Humph!" Of course, he knew that he would accept it when he saw it, he didn't want to end up with the Song envoy, so he didn't wait for anyone to invite, he walked out with his head held high, leaving only a full hall of whispers.

"Liu Ziqing, you are a messenger, how can you be like this?" Before he came out, Chen Jingxing shouted with his head covered his face, and his face was angry.

Liu Yu walked out again, ignoring the strange eyes of those people, but looked at a few people in front of him, Chen Jingxing's expression was quite hateful, and a few purple-robed clerks behind him shook their heads with regret, some were incredulous, some were expressionless, and Liu Mengyan and a few other ruling ministers were playful, obviously they didn't expect this matter.

"What the envoy said is true." Liu Yu's words surprised a few people in front of him slightly, but no one said anything, waiting for his next step.

"On that day, the lord summoned him, and the minister did such a royal courtesy." Liu Yu said as he held his hand and shook it deeply, then straightened up and continued: "The Yuan people want to be the courtesy of the Yuan people, dare to ask your ministers, if you are here, what should you do?" ”

There was silence.
