Chapter 1204: Turning Point
Walking out of Concubine Yang's bedroom, His Majesty Li Er stood on the white jade steps with his hands in his hands, raised his head and looked at the warm sun in the sky, and narrowed his eyes slightly. The mountains in the distance are faintly colored with green daisy, and it will not take a few days for the grass buds to break through the soil, and then the fine willows will be drawn, and the poplar catkins will fly, and spring will come......
The winter that is about to pass is not the warmest winter that His Majesty Li Er has ever experienced, but the number of deaths reported by various parts of Guanzhong is the smallest year in His Majesty's memory.
More and more aristocrats and farmers began to widely use coal for heating, and Guanzhong was full of this kind of loose black stone, which could be found in some places by digging a few feet at will, and even some hillsides were washed away by rain for many years, and the black coal was exposed......
Ten pounds of cinders can make a farmer survive a cold night of wind and snow, without the invasion of severe cold, countless old, weak, sick and disabled have survived this winter.
Of course, the greatest credit still goes to the countless rice from Linyi country......
Although the taste is not very suitable for the taste of Guanzhong people, it is only compared to the aristocratic gate valve of Zhong Ming Ding Food, ordinary farmers rarely see rice and flour food, and in winter, most of them are bran husks left after the wheat has been grinded...... The ultra-low price of rice has saved countless lives, and it has also forced grain merchants in Guanzhong to reduce prices significantly.
His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly.
Coal was first used by Fang Jun, and the rice of Linyi Country was obtained by him after leading the sailors to travel across the ocean and experience countless dangerous shoals, undercurrents, and storms.
Even the most picky imperial history has to admit Fang Jun's merits in these two aspects!
But now, he has to endure the pain to make him admit the crime that did not belong to him......
Reward and punishment, this is what Ming Jun did.
However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was bent on surpassing the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and covering the annals of history, had to let his most loyal and powerful courtiers bear the humiliation.
This is not only the shame of Fang Jun, but also the shame of His Majesty Li Er!
His Majesty Li Er regretted it a little......
The name is heavy on the mountains!
Fang Jun, who is not stingy, can still abide by the bottom line, and he refuses to admit his guilt to protect his reputation to death, how can he, as the emperor, give up his heart for the sake of profit and go with the flow? Compromise is a habit, when you get used to compromise, do you find another way to do it when you encounter difficulties, instead of moving forward?
Wang De hurriedly trotted over from a distance.
His Majesty Li Er knew that this was the situation in the lobby of the Criminal Department again, so he raised his feet and walked into a sheltered pavilion on the left.
"Your Majesty, there is a situation in the lobby of the Criminal Department."
"My eyes were a little glazed by the sun just now, tell me what the situation is now."
"No! Your Majesty, just now, Her Royal Highness Princess Changle went to the lobby of the Criminal Department......"
His Majesty Li Er, who was closing his eyes and recuperating with his eyes closed, was shocked, his eyes suddenly opened and widened, and he said in disbelief: "Changle...... What are you doing in the lobby of the Criminal Department? ”
Wang Degong said: "Back to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Changle is going to testify to Fang Jun." ”
His Majesty Li Er was dumbfounded, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world......
"Changle testified to Fang Jun? What testimony? ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Changle went to the lobby of the Criminal Department and confirmed that the jade pendant, which is extremely important in this case, is actually two identical ......"
Wang De was not in a hurry, and carefully explained what happened in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and only explained it in the tone and perspective of a third person overnight, without the slightest subjective emotion.
His Majesty Li Er listened silently, and his heart fluctuated.
He guessed in an instant that the murderer of Changsun Chong must be Changsun Chong, otherwise Princess Changle would never stand up and testify for Fang Jun! It was a decision made with great sadness, disappointment and horror.
What an eldest grandson Chong!
Tiger poison does not eat children, and as the eldest son of the family's gate valve, he actually killed his own brother with his own hands to blame others, which is simply cold-blooded and ruthless, how is it different from beasts?
His Majesty Li Er was furious, and his eyes were red!
I'm really blind!
was deceived by this beast with a beast heart for so many years, not only did he support him all the way, but also promised his eldest daughter, who was his favorite and regarded as a pearl in his palm, as his wife......
O iniquity!
He actually gave his daughter to that crazy brute with his own hands......
His Majesty Li Er couldn't even think about what kind of treatment Princess Changle, who had no support and no heirs, would have suffered in the eldest grandson's family if he had died early!
"Immediately go to Menxia Province and issue an edict to seal all the gates of the city at once, and you are not allowed to enter or leave! All the hundred cavalry, martial marquis, patrols, and garrisons in Chang'an City are all under the command of Du Chuke of Jingzhao Mansion. I will dismantle this inhumane and crazy beast to dismantle the hatred in my heart! ”
It's just that when His Majesty Li Er condemned Changsun Chong to the fullest, he completely ignored what he did back then......
Wang De hurriedly bowed down and said, "No! ”
Before Wang De turned around and left, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked again: "Why didn't Li Junxian's bastard come to see me?" It's useless! The eldest grandson Chong secretly sneaked back to Guanzhong to kill people and make trouble, but he still didn't know it, it was a waste! ”
Wang De mourned for Li Junxian in his heart, and replied: "General Li is inquiring about the news from the Criminal Department, and now he is already on the side of Princess Changle's car to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness Princess Changle. ”
His Majesty Li Er's face was uncertain, and he snorted: "Let him come to see me immediately!" ”
This Li Junxian is not stupid, obviously guessing that Changsun Chong is in the city at the moment, and Changsun Chong knows that after Changle testifies in the lobby of the Criminal Department, he will be annoyed and angry and take risks to the detriment of Princess Changle......
"No!"
Wang De left in a hurry.
His Majesty Li Er got up and said in a deep voice to the attendants and guards beside him: "Swing and go to the lobby of the Criminal Department!" ”
*****
In the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the situation is very strange.
The Holy Decree uses Du Chuke to govern the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion on his behalf, so now Du Chuke and his subordinates Wang Xuance and Li Yifu are busy with the patrol room, and they are all doing their best to prepare for Fang Jun's explanation when he leaves, and he is about to launch a big incident to divert the attention of the court.
But the two young Yin were calm and idle......
Shaoyin Wei Dawu is the son of Wei Yuantong, born in the Jingzhao Wei clan, and has a noble status. Since becoming the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Wei Dawu has always been low-key and introverted, what Fang Jun says is what he says, and there is no way to know what he is doing in private, but at least he maintains enough respect for Fang Jun on the surface.
Fang Jun was detained by the Criminal Department, and Wei Dawu was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night!
This was originally a move planned by Wei Yijie, the backbone disciple of the Wei family, and Wei Dawu had already known in advance that he was very likely to be in charge of Jingzhao Mansion when Fang Jun was in prison, how could he not be excited?
As long as he replaces Fang Jun in charge of Jingzhao Mansion during this period of time and does a good job, then he is the most likely successor to Jingzhao Yin after Fang Jun's downfall!
At that time, Wei Yijie will be in charge of the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Wei Dawu will take over Jingzhao Mansion and become Jingzhao Yin, and Jingzhao Wei's will become the most prominent gate valve in the court, prosperous and prosperous, and become an example in Guanzhong!
But people are not as good as heaven, and when Fang Jun left, he handed over the rights and responsibilities of Jing Zhaoyin to Du Chuke's agent, which is understandable. However, immediately after that, His Majesty issued an edict officially confirming that Du Chuke had full authority to act as Jing Zhaoyin......
It's depressing!
Could it be that you worked hard and worked hard, but in the end you made a wedding dress for someone else?
Wei Dawu was unhappy in his heart, but he did not dare to openly oppose the edict, so he had to use the method of "non-cooperation" to "cold confrontation......
And the other young Yin Dugu Cheng was already frightened by Fang Jun, at this moment Fang Jun was in trouble, he didn't expect to get any benefits from falling into the well, just hoping that Fang Jun would not be hated, so he simply took sick leave......
In Jing Zhaoyin's duty room, Du Chuke rubbed his sour eyes, raised his head from a large pile of archives and notes, and looked at Wang Xuance and Li Yifu, who were also haggard in front of him, with red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning...... Let's do it. ”
When Wang Xuance and Li Yifu heard this, they were all shocked, and said in unison: "No! ”
The two of them participated in this plan throughout the whole process, and naturally knew how it would shake the world once it was launched!
At this time, it is impossible to do such a big thing without attracting attention......
