"Big responsibility? Great achievement? Big trouble! Guo Wei stood at the gate, holding his beard and chanting silently. Looking back at the shining golden, treasured walk, he sighed. The well-defined faces were tightly wrinkled together, and there was no way to hide the contemplation in between.

Guo Wei is very clear in his heart, what is there to judge about Liu Xin's matter, the matter is clear, and he is unscrupulous to the point where he is, what is the difficulty in verifying? The real difficulty is how to deal with the penalty.

The Han clan is really not rich in blood, Liu Xin is already a close relative, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, it has been extremely rare to ask things with such fanfare. Even, the promotion of the court to set up a case and interrogate one party is a "strange news".

In fact, regardless of the identity of Emperor Liu Xin's uncle or the feudal town, if the emperor kills and punishes him, there will be no real resistance, and in this troubled world, there is no shortage of faint kings and tyrants. However, Liu Chengyou is so solemn and wants to go through the "procedure", what is he worried about, Guo Wei actually has some guesses in his heart.

What you want is to be upright and justifiable, which is to be done for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, for the officials and people of Xuzhou, and more importantly, for the world to see. Look, Liu Xin, who was an important town in the Central Plains and was the emperor's uncle, was taken down, and what about the others.

Make this case a precedent, and in the future, it can be done in accordance with the precedent. As for whether it will arouse the suspicion or doubt of others, it is inevitable, of course, more importantly, it is still deterrence, and the court still has that confidence.

Moreover, if things are done in the right name and stand at the highest moral point, it is enough to make the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. In troubled times, the righteousness is really worthless, but when it is used, it is worth a thousand gold.

Recalling the time before and after Liu Xin's case today, Guo Wei had the bottom in his heart, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven had already intended to deal with his imperial uncle, and Zhao Li just caused it. However, when I meditated in the next hour, I always felt that I had not taken anything into account.

"Where is Liu Xin detained?" A clue quickly came out of his mind, and Guo Wei asked.

"Return to the cardinal minister, temporarily detained in the Jiedu Mansion!" Zhao Yanjin, who was temporarily transferred to Guo Wei's subordinates, replied.

"Closely guarded! Well...... Don't be humiliated! Guo Wei commanded.

Since Guo Wei was appointed as the presiding judge, Liu Chengyou assigned him some auxiliary officials, including the imperial history headed by Zhao Li and the detective of Wu Desi.

When he returned to the next place, Guo Wei said to the group led by Zhao Li resolutely: "You must have made a lot of preparations before, as soon as you submit all the criminal evidence documents, I want to check them!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Li and these people are not verbose, or they have been instructed by Liu Chengyou, and they are also very capable.

It didn't take long for Guo Wei's case to put several layers of documents on it. Looking at the accumulation of incriminating evidence, Guo Wei knew that he was going to work hard all night.

It was only after reading it again that Guo Wei knew from that detail that Liu Xin was very evil, and he also knew how fully prepared Liu Chengyou was in secret.

In Liu Chengyou's letting the ministers accompany him to meditate, of course, it was not without purpose, in that short period of more than an hour, the situation inside and outside the city of Changshe can be described as a sudden change.

The city was under martial law, and the Fengchen army of the brigade set out, under the leadership of the spies under the Wude Division, according to the map, to arrest the emperor's uncle Liu Xin's party disciples, the state government officials, from the judge of the festival below, almost all were arrested, and several county commanders and chiefs who were called were also taken down.

As for the Jiedu Ya soldiers, they were directly besieged by Ma Quanyi and his troops, controlled and disarmed, and his generals were imprisoned.

Liu Chengyou's shot is a thunderbolt.

"Are you all under control?" In the inner hall, Liu Chengyou put one hand behind his waist, stood in front of the window in a slightly forced posture, stared at the night scene outside, and asked casually.

Behind them, Li Shaoyou, Xiang Xun and Ma Quanyi were waiting.

Hearing the questioning, Li Shaoyou took the initiative to answer: "The officials' family, the officials of Xuzhou, and the suspects have been captured by the ministers and General Xiang, counting the county officials, there are a total of thirty-two people. All of them are now in state jail! ”

Liu Chengyou sighed slightly: "This is to wipe out the officialdom of Xuzhou!" Didn't cause unrest! ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Xiang Xun answered steadily: "Before, the last general has sent troops to martial law the whole city!" ”

"What about the Xuzhou Yabing?"

As soon as Ma Quanyi spoke, he gave Liu Chengyou a sense of peace of mind and said: "The tooth soldiers in the state, a total of more than 2,300 soldiers, have been controlled, and they should be commanded by the general and captured all of them." Marquis Yang Yu has led the Iron Cavalry Army to the counties of the subordinate armies and captured the generals! ”

"You're doing a great job!" Liu Chengyou pondered for a while, and said: "I still say the same thing, we must ensure stability inside and outside the city!" ”

"Yes!"

"The official family is fair and selfless, and the righteous annihilation of relatives, as long as the news of the public trial of the emperor's uncle is spread, the people's hearts will be stable, and the people of Xuzhou will definitely celebrate with the crown, and praise the wisdom of the official family!"

Only Li Shaoyou dared to say such words.

"Get off your errand!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand.

"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison.

"Cousin!"

"The minister is here."

Liu Chengyou ordered: "Guo Shuxiang's side, you also go to help!" He is holding a court trial, and you are also by your side, listen to it for me, take a look! ”

As if his feet had taken root, Liu Chengyou stood in front of the window, his eyes didn't blink much, enjoying the night view in the courtyard. The moonlight is very light, the lights are very yellow, and the vision is not clear enough, but the shadows of the trees are faintly visible under the breeze.

originally thought that with Liu Xin's temperament, the threat in front might be a bit overreacting, but Liu Chengyou's side was also fully prepared to deal with it. However, it seems that he did not completely turn the narrow road into a dead end after all.

......

The Queen Mother lived in the dormitory, and Liu Chengyou came to see the ceremony at night.

Li seemed to expect Liu Chengyou to come, and prepared some food for him, and asked, "I heard that you detained Liu Xin?" ”

Liu Chengyou replied: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, Zhao Li, the imperial history, in front of the civil and military ministers, impeached the imperial uncle to me." I have to investigate impartially to help people's hearts! Guo Gong has always been fair, and he will definitely not wronged the emperor's uncle! ”

"In front of me, the official family doesn't have to say these crown words." Seeing Liu Chengyou's serious appearance, Li Shifeng's face was serious, and he directly broke the topic: "Then Zhao Li I have also heard of it in the inner court, although he is famous for his outspokenness, but how dare he correct Liu Xin on such an occasion?" ”

Liu Chengyou paused, put the missing cake in his hand back on the plate, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and met the queen mother's gaze, the corners of his mouth showed a little bitterness: "Sure enough, I can't hide the eyes of the queen mother, nor the eyes of the courtiers, and even, even the eyes of the imperial uncle!" ”

Li said: "If the official family wants to do things that are justified in the name, why should they 'hide' words and deeds? ”

"In this world, it's not easy to do things justifiably. Especially, this is a difficult thing! Liu Chengyou's tone was full of emotion.

Li looked at Liu Chengyou: "I won't ask you anything else, what are you going to do with Uncle Huang?" ”

Frowning slightly, Liu Chengyou took a breath, and looked at him left: "The crimes committed by Zhao Li's imperial uncle are extremely resentful. ”

"What are you going to do with Uncle Huang?" Li asked again.

Feeling the persecution in the mouth of this mother, Liu Chengyou paused, and still replied smoothly: "I have entrusted Guo Qing with full power, and we still need to see the results of his interrogation and deal with it according to law!" ”

Hearing his answer, Li sighed and didn't say anything more.
