Chapter 28: Going to Prison

Under Liu Chengyou's inaction and even intentional connivance, the turmoil in Tokyo is intensifying. As if sensing the Son of Heaven's heart, Shi Hongzhao really extended his hand to others, including the ministers of the court.

If you really let Shi Hongzhao arrest everything, he is not stupid to that extent, but it is not difficult to carry out some "targeted" retaliation, especially those Wenchen who he hates.

In today's court of the Han Dynasty, there is a chain of contempt. Martial artists like Shi Hongzhao despise Wenchen, and Wenchen like Yang Wei and Wang Zhang despise Confucianism, and Confucianism seems to despise everything.

Take Shi Hongzhao as an example, he seems to have a deep-rooted prejudice and contempt for Wenchen. Or because of low self-esteem, although this is an era of poor literature and Taoism, and the status of scribes is not high, but not all martial artists use ignorance as capital to show off. Especially when it comes to Shi Hongzhao's status, he hates others for ridiculing him and laughing at his shallow knowledge......

Taste and say: The literati are unbearable, despise my generation, call my generation a pawn, hateful and hateful!

This time, Shi Hongzhao seized the opportunity, and naturally used the topic to play, how to "happy" and how to fix it. Left and right, doing things in Xijing is much less resistant than in Tokyo, and under the instruction of Liu Chengyou, the emperor, and the teacher is famous.

The pinnacle of this turmoil was Shi Hongzhao's target Su Fengji. Shi Hongzhao has always been disgusted by Su Fengji, a villain who often stirs up trouble in the DPRK, acts as a prestige, and sow discord.

On the Xijing side, if you want to say that the biggest landlord, the largest manor, and the most rampant behavior, it is still Su Fengji's people. So, in the process of inspecting the manor, Shi and Su faced each other.

Shi Hongzhao sent troops to raid a manor of Su Fengji in the suburbs of Luoyang, Su Fengji's subordinates were also arrogant enough, and they resisted with weapons in their hands, and they were directly attacked, and dozens of Su Fengji's disciples were killed.

When Su Fengji heard the news, it was already too late and he was furious. had a fierce dispute with Shi Hongzhao, but with one mouth, where can it be worth a knife from a martial artist. If it weren't for Shi Hongzhao's mind still having a trace of clarity, I'm afraid he would have taken down Su Fengji on the spot. Even so, the two of them went directly to Liu Chengyou.

"Your Majesty, Shi Hongzhao acted perversely, indiscriminately arrested court officials, set private punishments, plundered people's property, and disregarded people's lives......"

It was the first time Liu Chengyou saw Su Fengji lose his temper like this, as if he had been stepped on by Shi Hongzhao's tail, he completely tore his face and impeached Shi Hongzhao in front of the emperor.

swept towards Shi Hongzhao, only to see him with a gloomy face, he was also angry, and he arched his hand towards Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, it has been verified by the ministers that Su Fengji is in Luoyang, wantonly encroaching on acres of land, and the servants of the subordinates are rampant and lawless, forcing the people to be slaves. A few days ago, he even dared to send people to the government to arrest the people and cultivate them privately. The tenant farmers of its manor are all shackled, and if they abuse the people, how can they be prime ministers and stand in the court. Please your majesty dismiss him and ask for his guilt! ”

"That's!" Hearing Shi Hongzhao say this, Su Fengji was furious, and then said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty must not listen to Shi Hongzhao's slander. As far as the minister knows, Shi Hongzhao faked the king's order, singled himself up, slandered Zhongliang, indiscriminately applied cruel laws, and filled his pockets. As a result, the people of Xijing were panicked and complained. This person is a great culprit and a disaster to the country, please get rid of it by Your Majesty. ”

"Traitor! Bloody mouth! Shi Hongzhao seemed to have been said to be sensitive, lifted his official robe, exposed his fist, and faced Su Fengji, his eyes were about to breathe fire.

"The bold Shi Hongzhao, in front of His Majesty, is so arrogant, you can imagine how rampant it is on weekdays." Seeing Shi Hongzhao's movements, Su Fengji took two steps back with great interest, habitually pulled Liu Chengyou's tiger skin, and asked him: "Do you still want to do it in the palace?" ”

"Do you think so-and-so wouldn't dare?" Shi Hongzhao roared.

"Enough!" At this time, Liu Chengyou, who had been calming his face and listening to the arguments between the two, finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "In your eyes, is there still an emperor like me!" ”

Liu Chengyou suddenly went berserk, which startled the two. Su Fengji's eyes slanted, and when he saw that Liu Chengyou was angry, the corners of his mouth raised a little joy, and he hurriedly bowed down, pretending to be humble and frightened, and asked for guilt: "The minister has no case, please forgive your majesty." ”

Shi Hongzhao also seemed to have calmed down, glanced at Liu Chengyou, intimidated by his indifferent gaze, rolled down his sleeves, made a gloomy face, and also asked for sin: "Please forgive your majesty." ”

The hall slowly quieted down, and the falling needles could be heard, and Liu Chengyou looked at Shi and Su with an expressionless face. There is no wave in his eyes, and his mind is calmly thinking, how to deal with this matter, whether to use the topic to play, or to calm the matter?

Keep the peace? This idea was extinguished by Liu Chengyou almost immediately.

Shi Hongzhao bit Su Fengji, which was an unexpected surprise, and the two of them bit each other, which was a joy and a joy.

For Su Fengji, Liu Chengyou has long had the intention of rectification, but he has not thought about when to do it.

From the beginning, Liu Chengyou had a bad impression of Su Fengji. Before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, this person was still somewhat restrained, but after the founding of the country as the prime minister, what this person did was not worthy of the name of "traitorous prime minister". Selling official positions, causing chaos to the dynasty, seeing no monarch, violating prohibitions, being arrogant and lascivious, and conniving at lawlessness......

Even if Liu Chengyou sent people to win him over before, it was only against his will and wanted an ally against Yang Wei. However, in fact, even without Liu Chengyou, the disputes and contradictions between Yang and Su are fierce enough. Moreover, Su Fengji often borrowed Liu Chengyou's wind to fight against Yang Wei before.

Up to now, Su Fengji has actually become a cancer in the Han Dynasty. This person is rampant when he gets his will, and what he does is really rampant.

To a certain extent, compared with Yang Wei, Liu Chengyou dislikes Su Fengji more from the bottom of his heart. Of course, if you want to talk about contradictions, the relationship between Liu Chengyou and Yang Wei is still more serious, it is a struggle related to imperial power, even if it can be suppressed for a while, it will be difficult to reconcile after all.

"Su Qing, what do you have to say about Shi Qing's accusations?" After a while, when Shi and Su involuntarily felt a little nervous, Liu Chengyou finally spoke up and faced Su Fengji.

"This is all slandered by Shi Hongzhao......" blurted out the words of denial, but when he noticed Liu Chengyou's cold gaze, Su Fengji's voice couldn't help but be hoarse, and his indifferent eyes made him a little flustered.

His lips seemed to be a little dry, and Su Fengji swallowed his saliva.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou picked up a stack of recitals from the imperial case, put them in his hand, condescendingly faced Su Fengji, and said coldly: "These are the recitals that I received about your violations of law and discipline after I ascended the throne, and there are more than 20 copies of them in the rest of the month!" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Su Fengji was shocked, stunned, and quickly reacted: "It must be a villain who is making trouble and slandering Yu Chen." Your Majesty must not believe those untruths! ”

Su Fengji's answer was almost to fool Liu Chengyou as a fool.

"Su Fengji!" Liu Chengyou shouted angrily: "Are you a bully? ”

Liu Chengyou's sudden questioning completely shocked Su Fengji, and he responded in astonishment: "Minister, minister doesn't dare." ”

"Selling the official mantle, is this matter fake? The history of Ruzhou thorns, the price is clearly marked with 5,000 yuan, is this matter fake? ”

"Is it false to connive at domestic servants, to run amok against lawlessness, to oppress the good?"

"Is there a fake for over-restricting private expansion of the house? Violation of the imperial court ban, fake? ”

"Enclosing land to harm the people, forcibly robbing the people, and clashing with the government, is it fake?"

“......”

"Do you want to see this pile, one by one? Do you want me to point them out to you one by one? Liu Chengyou threw the chapter on the imperial case and looked at Su Fengji coldly.

"Minister, minister, minister......" Su Fengji's legs were weak and he knelt down directly.

"Ministers" for a long time, and finally said "guilty".

At this time, Shi Hongzhao made up for it in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, the minister found some armor from Su Fengji's manor, and his servants also held many sharp weapons. Its secret armor is only afraid that it has different intentions and other plans. ”

Su Fengji looked at Shi Hongzhao, and his eyes were already cracking. Other crimes, no matter how serious they are, he has the confidence to get through them, but Shi Hongzhao almost wanted to put him to death when he said this. Private armor soldiers, this is much more sensitive than careless about people's lives or something.

"Don't dare, don't dare to have a different heart!" Unable to care about a lot, Su Fengji hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "The minister is loyal to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, and the heavens and the earth can learn from it." Your Majesty, don't listen to Shi Hongzhao's slanderous words! ”

Liu Chengyou seemed to be enraged, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, and ordered angrily outside: "Come on, take down this thief, go to prison, and take strict care!" ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Your Majesty spares your life! Su Fengji was completely panicked, and while being carried out, he kept wailing.

It's a pity that Liu Chengyou was unmoved.

"Take down this thief, Your Majesty is wise." Shi Hongzhao was beside him, showing a somewhat satisfied look, and for the first time, he complimented Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou seemed to come back to his senses, sighed, and said to Shi Hongzhao with a little interest: "Shi Qing has been working hard these days. ”

"Serving His Majesty and the imperial court, I dare not speak hard!" Shi Hongzhao's temperament was as deferential as a sheep at this time.

Liu Chengyou pondered for a while, and said to Shi Hongzhao: "Since Su Fengji is in prison, the property he bought in Xijing and the grain and wealth he collected will be confiscated by Shi Qing." All the party slaves who have violated the law and done evil will be taken down, and no one will be allowed to get away! ”

"Yes!" Shi Hongzhao raised his throat and left excitedly, this person really didn't have much self-consciousness.

Liu Chengyou looked at his back, what Shi Hongzhao didn't know was that Liu Chengyou looked at his back, equally indifferent.

After he retreated, Liu Chengyou's face slowly regained his calmness, his eyes softened, and he slowly sat back behind the imperial case, picked up a piece of Fangcai's recital, and continued to look at it. Having taken down a retainer doesn't seem to have any effect on him.

And the twists and turns in his hand, where is the impeachment of Su Fengji, it is just a political newspaper forwarded by Tokyo.

"Come on, pass on the martial arts envoy!" After a while, Liu Chengyou's cold voice resounded in the hall.
