Chapter 282: Holy Judgment
Wang Zaixue was speechless for a while, he still had tears on his face, and when Li Shimin said this, the whole person was stunned, and for a while, he couldn't speak.
So he opened his mouth and held back for a long time before he said: "The minister has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is kind to others. The ministers and the whole clan have always abided by the law and discipline, and they are all good people, but the governor's mansion has set up a tax camp, and if they don't agree with each other, they rushed into the minister's private residence, searched and copied, disturbed the female dependents, and confiscated money and grain...... Minister......"
Speaking of this, Wang Zaixue cried again, this time it was really crying, the humiliation he suffered that day was as vivid as he remembered, but he had never experienced such a grievance in his life.
Who is he Wang Zaixue, don't say that it is in this life, even if it is his ancestors for generations, who dares to be so rude to him surnamed Wang?
He beat his heart and continued to wail: "The minister is forty years old, but he has never seen such a fierce and vicious person, they are unreasonable, like a cool official, several of the minister's clansmen were held by them, tortured, bruised all over their bodies, and almost could not live. The minister's wife, frightened by this rebel soldier to this day, is like a frightened bird, weeping all day long. The minister is the house of goodness, and the governor's mansion is tyrannical, which is really a strange injustice through the ages. The government treats the people like this, and now Yangzhou is terrified, everyone is in danger, and the ministers have nothing to rely on, and it has reached a situation of rumors. Today, Your Majesty is here, and the ministers have heard that Your Majesty is a benevolent and holy king, and he will definitely make decisions for his ministers, so I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and give the ministers justice. ”
As he spoke, he looked distressed, and then kowtowed to Li Shimin.
When the rest of the people saw this, they also bowed their heads one after another, and said, "The ministers can't live anymore, and if they continue like this, all the people will die." ”
Another humane: "What's wrong with the ministers, why are they being exploited like this by the Governor's Mansion?" Yangzhou's harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, the ministers are afraid of the tiger, and they are even more afraid of the harsh government. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and they were all grief-stricken, which made people think that they had experienced such a tragic thing.
The people on the side of the road saw that they were crying sadly, and many people felt compassion for them.
Ordinary people are like this, when they see the wind and rain, when they see someone crying badly, they can't help but feel uncomfortable, and when they hear the governor's mansion taking people at every turn and torturing them, they instantly think of the scene of the skin and flesh blooming, and they can't help but feel cold and hairy for it.
Li Shimin glanced back at Chen Zhengtai: "Is that the case?" ”
Chen Zhengtai was still calm and calm, and said without hesitation: "Teacher, right and wrong, hasn't the teacher seen it with his own eyes?" ”
These words were concise and clear, Li Shimin understood in his heart, and then stared at this king and then the scholars, and said, "The Governor's Mansion only did this?" In this way, you must have reached a state of poverty and destitution when you were so victimized by the Governor's Office. ”
Wang Zaixue heard that Li Shimin meant something, and seemed to have some sympathy for them, and the people on the side of the road also showed compassion, and he knew in his heart that he and the others stopped here, and finally played some role.
Everyone is not afraid of death, before coming here, they had planned it, in their opinion, in front of the people of Yangzhou, Li Shimin must not treat them like this.
I'm afraid that now His Majesty is riding a tiger, on the one hand, the Governor's Mansion, on the other hand, his own holy name, this is a dilemma.
So Wang Zaixue did not hesitate, and now it is naturally as miserable as possible, so he cried even more sadly: "The ministers have been brutalized by the Governor's Mansion, and they have reached the point of exhaustion. ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers can't live, I only ask Your Majesty to be merciful and make decisions for the people."
"If you don't give an explanation, what a cold heart, even the people of Yangzhou will also suffer."
After all, they are a family of people, they are full of poetry and books, and they know what to say and what not to say at this time.
To a certain extent, those people who are really miserable, even if they are extremely miserable, can't make a sound, even if they can make a sound, what they say is just vulgar words, and no one cares.
But these clans are miserable, but they are clever and tongue-in-cheek, and with their hoarse voices, it makes people feel real.
Then the people by the road began to whisper again, apparently ...... Compassion is a luxury for a noble person, because compassion is overflowing, how can we have this family business and be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity for our children and grandchildren?
But for these ordinary people, they seem to be so poor that they only seem to have compassion left.
When people saw Wang Zaixue like this, they seemed to be a little unbearable to witness.
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, looked at the many people, his eyes were shining with unknown meaning, paced two steps, and said: "If you want to sue, then...... I will come to the judgment today, since you say, this governor's house is ruined, whose house is broken? ”
"It's a minister." When Wang Zaixue heard Li Shimin's words, hope was already ignited in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "That day is the third day of the ninth month, and the leader is ......."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Very good, today you are waiting in front of everyone, if you want me to be the master, of course I will be the master, and now so many people are here, let them see if I am fair, how about it?" ”
Wang Zaixue really couldn't ask for it, looking at the people around him, most of them showed sympathetic expressions, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The Holy Emperor is willing to be the master, which is really a blessing for the ministers." ”
Li Shimin immediately said: "Since the family is broken, I have to go and see with my own eyes how your family is." Come on, let Wang learn to lead the way, I want to go to Wang's house to see. Other than that......"
He paused, and then looked back at the people with compassion in their eyes: "Don't stop the people, since I am a holy judge, I want to strive for justice, so I will go to your house to investigate first, and if the people want to see it, you can go with you." ”
When everyone saw Li Shimin like this, they cheered.
Wang Zaixue was suspicious, frowned and said: "Actually, the ministers have prepared a lawsuit, which lists the ...... of the Governor's Mansion."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "I don't look at this, I want to see is believing." ”
Wang Zaixue originally wanted to take advantage of the presence of so many people to bring His Majesty into an army.
Who knew that His Majesty was more ruthless than him, as if he wished that the people would come and watch.
For a while, he looked at each other with several children of the clan beside him, but at this time, when it came to this, Wang Zaixue had no room for repentance, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to quickly stand up and lead the way.
Li Shimin ordered that the officials and soldiers do not have to stop the people, and then got into the chariot, he was not worried about any assassins among the people, even if there were, it was he who slaughtered the assassins.
However, Chen Zhengtai and the others were not at ease, so they still ordered a few guards to protect them from someone crashing into the car.
This Wang family is close to the other palace, which is the most lively place in Yangzhou City.
The people who were pressed followed by the holy car, and it didn't take long for the tide to arrive here, and Wang Zaixue and others, who arrived at the door first, were waiting for Li Shimin here.
Li Shimin got out of the car steadily, Chen Zhengtai hurriedly followed, and the rest of Du Ruhui and Wang Jin also followed.
Wang Zaixue hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... This ......"
"Get in!" Li Shimin immediately made a decision, and then turned around: "Don't stop the people, the people who want to come to see my holy judgment can come in, and if anyone thinks that I am unfair, they can also say it." ”
This time it is even more ruthless.
Wang Zaixue thought that he was coercing the people, but who would have thought that this Li Erlang was obviously better at coercing the people.
These small people in Yangzhou, as soon as they heard His Majesty's orders, in fact, when they arrived here, they were already curious, this was judged by His Majesty himself, and it was the Governor's Mansion that sued, at this time, no one dared to stop them, so many people followed.
When he arrived at the middle gate of the king's house, the king learned again and said, "Your Majesty, look at ......"
He pointed to the gate, the gate obviously had traces of impact and damage, Wang Zaixue stubbornly said: "This is the trace of the people of the Governor's Mansion knocking the door open, so far, although it is repaired, but this wound is still there, it was ...... at that time."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him and said, "Oh, I know, come in and talk." ”
Wang Zaixue was a little confused, so he glanced at the crowd behind him, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, these little people ......"
Li Shimin stared at him and said in a loud voice: "What, don't you want to be really judged?" Now I let the people bear witness, and when they come, they are guests, and you will not allow them? ”
Wang Zaixue was speechless for a while, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Chen Zhengtai looking at him with a smile, Wang Zaixue became more vigilant in his heart, but Li Shimin spoke, but at this time, he had to bite the bullet and continue to lead Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai and others in.
As soon as you enter the middle gate, your eyes are suddenly cheerful, here is a garden, almost a step by step, the flowers are splendid, the people who look at it are dazzled, this old house with a history of many years, although it looks simple on the outside, but when it comes to the inside, it is a carved beam and painted building, and the central axis road leading to the main hall is also paved with blue bricks.
Li Shimin looked at the passing scenery, but did not make a sound, only urged: "Where else has it been destroyed?" ”
Wang Zaixue couldn't answer for a while, he already felt a little bad at this time, and when he looked back, he saw that many people had poured in.
As soon as they came in, the people who had sympathy for Wang Zaixue were all excited.
The people in Yangzhou City have seen some of the world, which is different from the people in the countryside, but when they arrived here, everyone still couldn't help but show a dumbfounded expression, and someone said: "Look, there are still bricks on the ground." ”
You must know that ordinary people, even houses, are reluctant to use bricks and tiles, after all, ...... It costs money, and in their opinion, the ground is paved with bricks, and this brick is obviously much better than ordinary masonry.
All of a sudden, everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they all made a tsk sound, surprised and amazed!
"Look at this tree, how can this tree be pruned so well."
"Ah, look at the lamp, it's daylight, the candle in the lantern is still burning, tsk......"
At this time, many people came in, and there were many maids here, but when they saw this, they were all frightened, and they all lost their faces, and they had to retreat.
But some people can see clearly that these maids, all of them are wearing satin, although they are just rough girls, they are all fair-skinned, and they are not bad, and they are obviously carefully selected.
These people, obviously, have never seen such a scene in their lives, and they only feel that they are missing a few pairs of eyes, and they can't see enough of the things they find here.
Wang Zaixue looked at those people, only felt that they were all extremely vulgar, and he was very worried that someone would damage his property, so he was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet, but in front of His Majesty, he didn't dare to do anything.
But more and more people are pouring in, and some people even boldly climb over the wall to get in.
Li Shimin only put his hands behind his back and was noncommittal.
At this time, it was Chen Zhengtai who said: "What else has been destroyed, let's talk about it, what evil things have been done in the Governor's Mansion, I also want to know as the Governor." ”
As soon as Wang Zaixue heard Chen Zhengtai say these cool words here, he was furious for a while, his eyes were almost on fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There is also the front hall, go to the front hall to see, the threshold of the front hall has been broken by the rebels." ”
So everyone cheered and continued to walk after Wang Zaixue. But when he arrived outside the front hall, Wang Zaixue thought of something and suddenly slowed down.
He was embarrassed, because there were many good things in this front hall, and I don't know how many antiques had been handed down, and if he brought people in, those small people would also come in and be presumptuous, and if he destroyed anything, he would also have to feel distressed.
But Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai went first, Li Shimin looked down at the threshold, well, sure enough...... There were traces of damage, and he said: "Zhengtai, look, this place is indeed broken, what do you think?" ”
"Teacher." Chen Zhengtai said with a look of shame: "It seems that the people in the tax camp are too reckless, but the teacher also knows that there are many places for students to care, and this is the ...... that Senior Brother Yue brought here."
Li Shimin sighed, and said: "It seems that the work is still not very reliable, and I broke through the threshold of others, and I went back to clean him up." ”
Chen Zhengtai said approvingly: "The teacher teaches the son well, how can the students admire." ”
As they spoke, the two of them had entered the main hall.
The people behind also swarmed in, and when they saw the open hall, they were shocked again.
"Ah, this lobby is several times bigger than my house."
"Tut, you look at the beams and columns, this wood is rare, and a pillar of this thickness is expensive."
The small people seem to be more intuitive, and are only interested in valuable things that are visible to the naked eye.
But what Li Shimin is interested in is the calligraphy and painting framed here.
I saw that above the lobby, a plaque was hung, and the words 'House of Goodness' were written in vigorous and powerful lines on the plaque.
This house of goodness, from "Yi Chuan, Wenyan Chuan, Kun Wenyan", the original sentence is the house of goodness, there must be afterglow, and the house of bad is not good, there must be aftermath. It refers to individuals and families who cultivate good and accumulate virtues, and there will be more auspicious celebrations, and those who do evil and bad virtues will have more disasters.
Chen Zhengtai also looked up with Li Shimin's gaze, looked at the words, and kept nodding: "The words on this plaque are well written, really good." ”
After that, he turned back to find Du Ruhui: "Du Gong has eyesight, what do you think?" ”
Li Shimin couldn't help glaring at Chen Zhengtai, obviously feeling that Chen Zhengtai's words were wrong, because I also knew the way of doing books, and Zhengtai obviously didn't have much confidence in his teacher, and he was a little bit out of the way.
Du Ruhui entered this palace, he had already seen something, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was also convinced, this teacher and student, Shengsheng stopped a driver and shouted grievances, turned it into a farce.
Wang Zaixue was in a hurry, and couldn't help but scold a small person who came in, don't touch the porcelain vase, this is the blue and white porcelain of Chang'an, you ......... pay for it."
Bang dang......
I heard a crisp sound, and the porcelain vase fell and shattered to the ground.
The people on the side avoided one after another, Wang Zaixue looked at the fragments of the vase on the ground, only felt that his heart was bleeding, and couldn't help but cover his eyes, tragedy.
Who knew that these many people were startled, and in this evasion, there was some chaos in this main hall, which scared Wang Zaixue and really wanted to drive these Diao people away immediately.
Li Shimin didn't know when he arrived in front of him, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a trend here in Yangzhou, that is, I love to hang holy images, why am I in this hall, but I only see calligraphy and paintings, but not holy images?" ”
"This ...... This ......," Wang re-learned to speak, stammering.
I was thinking in my heart, if my Wang family hangs the portrait of you Li Erlang, then it will be a hell, if you want to hang it, it is also the portrait of the ancestors and ancestors.
It's just that now Li Shimin actually asked, so he couldn't answer for a while, and it took a long time to say: "Your Majesty, the minister will ...... in a few days."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "It won't take a few days, I'm just talking and laughing, how can I be more serious?" ”
Wang Zaixue simply kept silent, he knew how easy it was to make mistakes.
Li Shimin then said: "Did you only destroy these?" ”
Wang learned again and said, "There is still ...... Treasury and account room, and ...... Backyard ...... It's just that...... It's just ......" He glanced at the crowd around him, and said expectantly: "It's just Your Majesty, this ...... Many people came in for fear of inconvenience. The crux of the problem lies in the expropriation of the Governor's Office. ”
"I still have to go somewhere." Li Shimin said with a straight face: "After going to see it, you can make a holy judgment." ”
Wang Zaixue said puzzledly: "I don't know where it is? ”
"Where's your kitchen?"
"This ......," Wang Zaixue wondered even more.
What can the kitchen see?
Li Shimin has already said: "Come and lead the way." ”
Li Shimin didn't give Wang Zaixue a chance to refute at all, and took the lead in the direction of the gate, and everyone gave way in awe.
Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai walked out of the main hall, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the back kitchen of the Wang family.
This kitchen is in a remote corner of the Wang family, but even so, there are three or four kitchens connected, and there are more than a dozen stoves.
There are more than a dozen men and cooks here, and some helpers, and at this moment, a few sheep that have just been killed are being shaved by the helper with a knife.
The entrails of this sheep were discarded aside.
There is also a cook who is slaughtering a goose, and the goose is chirping, and the kitchen is holding its wings and can't break free.
And there were a few men with baskets, and they saw that the baskets were full of fruits and vegetables of all colors.
Obviously, these fruits and vegetables have been carefully selected, because in the distance, there is a bucket of food waste, and the bucket is full of rotten leaves that have been picked out.
The people who looked around looked at it and were really stunned again.
They have opened their eyes, and the first time they see it, having a meal is like the New Year. No, this is not just the New Year, this casual meal, I'm afraid it will be enough for them to eat for a lifetime.
