Chapter 142: Judgment of the Captain
"Then I have to invite Shen Gong to the palace to take a look at this treasure tripod", Liu Rong saluted.
Looking at Liu Rong, who was so respectfully saluting, Shen Gong naturally smiled.
promised Liu Rong to go to the palace, one is also to have a look at this treasure ding, and the other is that since Liu Rong traveled to Hedong Dongyuan, Shen Gong's impression of Liu Rong is excellent, but as a prince, he never treats people arrogantly.
And the most important point is that this time it was Liu Rong who found this treasure in the Houtu Temple next to the Fenshui of Fenyin.
Although Confucius said, "The son is silent and the strange power is chaotic", but Liu Rong learned that there was a treasure in the earth temple because of a dream, and it seems that there is no other reasonable explanation except for the miracle of Emperor Gao's dream.
Solidly, in Shen Gong's view, Liu Rong at this moment has already been covered with an auspicious coat. It is not surprising that in the future, he will be crowned the crown prince for the Son of Heaven and inherit the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Han family.
In this way, although Shen Gong Liu Rong arrived outside the mansion, Liu Rong personally helped Shen Gong to sit in the car and ordered the emperor to drive away.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Liu Rong led Shen Gong to the side hall where the treasure was stored.
There is a saying that the major events of the country are in the worship and Rong, and the monarchs of the past dynasties regard the sacrifice as very important, and the first time he saw such a huge treasure, Shen Gong was naturally a little shocked.
"Why don't you hurry up and get a seat!" , Liu Rong said to the king.
At this moment, Wang Sheng thought that His Royal Highness was still angry that he was saying bad things about Liu Yan, and he was taken aback when he heard this, "No...... Promise! I was so busy saluting that I was about to run out of words.
After helping Shen Gong to sit down, seeing that Shen Gong was silent looking at Dading, Liu Rong immediately ordered Wang Sheng to take out the wooden box containing tortoise shells and simple slips, and after reaching out to take over the wooden box, Liu Rong said: "Look at the elders, this is the slips and tortoise shells unearthed with Baoding."
Hearing this, Shen Gong came back to his senses and glanced at the wooden box that Liu Rong was holding.
After reaching out and taking out a scroll of slips and opening them, Shen Gong frowned, "The text on the slips is the inscription of Zhong Ding, but it has been buried in the ground so far, it has been somewhat damaged, and it may take some time to translate it."
Zhong Ding inscription, Liu Rong has never seen it before, but at this moment, someone can recognize it, Liu Rong is already thankful, how can he care about it will take some time.
"Haha, Shen Gong is willing to go to the palace to translate this inscription for the boy, the boy is already very grateful, why wait a few days?"
Seeing that Shen Gong seemed to be a little struggling to look at this simple scroll, Liu Rong personally brought the lantern exhibition placed on both sides to Shen Gongzhi.
After that, he said: "The elder is watching here, and I will go to see my father."
Shen Gong put down the slip and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, go slowly."
When Liu Rong came out of the palace, he pulled Wang Sheng closer and said, "You serve Shen Gong carefully here."
"Yes!".
In this way, Liu Rong nodded and went out of the side hall to Weiyang Palace.
"Please also report to your father, Liu Rong asks to see", Liu Rong said to a person outside the Qilin Palace.
But the confessor was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, at this moment, Tingwei Zhi is meeting Your Majesty."
Zhi Du is here, could it be that Shen Tu Gong and Zhou Yang have finished interrogating?
However, without waiting for Liu Rong to say more, he saw Liu Rong walking out of the hall, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace."
In this way, Liu Rong smiled at Wang Yan, "Thank you to the prince, I will enter the palace."
"Your Highness, please!".
As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Rong saluted and said: "Son Liu Rong pays homage to his father."
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, naturally knew what Liu Rong was looking for at this time, "Your matter will be said later, and sit down and listen to Zhiqing's words."
"Thank you, father", after speaking, Liu Rong sat on the seat taken by the waiter.
After that, Zhidu began his own narrative again, "From the ministers to the court lieutenant office, they began to interrogate the two thieves of Shen Tugong and Zhou Yang.
At the beginning, these two people actually passed the buck to each other, both of them talked about Hedong's affairs, and they were both done by each other.
However, after a few days, he honestly confided all the things about Hedong's greed for ink."
Zhi Du said so lightly that the two of them confessed honestly a few days later. Liu Rong would not believe that it would be because these two people suddenly woke up and wanted to be new people, and they must have had to speak up and explain the matter after being tortured in Tingwei Prison.
After speaking, Zhi Du took out two bamboo slips from his arms, got up and arched his hand and said: "This is the confession of these two people, please look at it Your Majesty."
After taking the bamboo slips that Wang Yan forwarded to him, he watched them one by one, and the angry Son of Heaven Liu Qi scolded on the spot! "Nearly 10,000 gold in one time, thief! Good thief! ”。
After scolding, I couldn't stop coughing violently.
Wang Yan immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty must not be so angry, the imperial doctor once said that His Royal Highness should not be easily angry, how can he be born like this."
Seeing his father like this, Liu Rong was naturally worried, and even knelt down and said: "Ask my father to calm his anger."
After a while, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, finally eased up, looked at Liu Rong who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing, and said: "Rong'er, get up, I know my body, there will be nothing wrong at this moment!" ”。
Then Liu Qi said: "When the court is discussed, I will treat the crimes of these two people in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."
"No! The minister then retired", and after Liu Qi, the son of heaven, nodded, Zhi Dudang got up and left.
………………………………………………………………
"Father, the son has taken Shen Gong to the palace, but the slip is seriously damaged, so Shen Gong said that it will take a few days to translate it."
However, after thinking deeply, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "I have naturally heard of the name of Duke Shen, so it will take a few days to translate it, otherwise it will be temporarily lived in the palace, so as not to make him suffer back and forth."
It has always been at night in the palace, except for the Son of Heaven and the Prince, only the guards in the palace are men, but at this moment, Dad has made a precedent public.
However, after Liu Rong thought about it, Liu Rong understood what his father meant.
However, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the most rapidly developing doctrine is not the study of Huang Lao, which was used by the Han family to govern the country, but Confucianism.
Confucianism is the most important of all the doctrines that can be changed by the thinking of the rulers, and since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars have actively participated in the construction of the Han Empire.
Uncle Sun Tong, who presided over the formulation of the etiquette of the Han court for Liu Bang, later served as the prime minister of Emperor Wen for more than ten years, and Zhang Cang, who had just passed away not long ago, was also a scholar of Confucianism.
By the time of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, there were many Confucians in the Han family, and there were also those who entered the court as officials and held high positions. For example, Liu Rong's teacher, Dangyang Hou Jia Yi, and Wei Qihou, Dou Ying, who is being favored, are all Confucianists, so even Liu Rong is labeled as half a Confucian at the moment.
Therefore, he took this opportunity to take advantage of this matter to win over the Confucian scholars in the world, so that he knew that the Son of Heaven also treated Confucian celebrities well.
Solid this, Liu Rong said: "Father Emperor Shengming! ”。
After speaking, Liu Rong got up and left.
And just as Liu Rong turned around to leave, he heard his father say again: "Tomorrow is the time for the court discussion, remember to go to the Xuan Room early!" ”。
"No!" , Liu Rong turned around and saluted again.
He hadn't been to the court for nearly a month, and suddenly had to get up so early, Liu Rong was really a little uncomfortable.
However, Liu Rong came out of the dormitory and found that there were snowflakes floating in the sky at this time............
However, when Liu Rong walked outside the Xuan Room, the snow in the sky was falling heavily, and this Weiyang Palace was white at a glance. This surging cold wind blew even more so that the courtiers waiting outside the hall shivered with coldness.
After a while, I saw the door of the Xuanshu Hall open, and the courtiers at this time were no longer as usual, and there were groups of discussions inside and outside the hall.
Instead, they rushed into the propaganda room one by one.
Just when Liu Rong had just entered the Xuan Room with the courtiers, he heard the messenger shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”。
As soon as the voice fell, he saw Liu Qi, the son of heaven, walking to the hall surrounded by attendants and maidservants.
"Your Majesty!".
"Excuse me".
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhi Du got up and walked to the hall first, and said what he had told Liu Qi and Liu Rong before, and said it again in the court.
After hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "Shentu Gong and Zhou Yang deceived the imperial court and resold the grain in the wet warehouse in order to fight the local treacherous and arrogant, making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of people in Hedong to survive.
The verdict of the court captain is to cut off the whole clan and abandon the city! There are objections! ”。
Hearing this, Taiwei Zhou Yafu immediately got up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the judgment of the court lieutenant is extremely fair."
Chao Cuo also said: "The minister seconded the proposal."
After speaking, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all said together: "The ministers seconded the proposal."
In this way, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, immediately issued an edict to take the entire clan of Shen Tugong and Zhou Yangyouzhi, who had already been imprisoned, into Chang'an in a prison car.
The Han law stipulates that every year those who are sentenced to death such as beheading and beheading can only be killed in winter.
It is also considered that Yang You and Shen Tugong were unlucky this week, and the incident at the east window in the deep winter was impossible, and it was impossible to live a few more days.
In this way, Liu Rong reminded Liu Rong of the cool official Wang Wenshu, who was famous for killing people in history.
Back then, Wang Wenshu was valued by Liu Yuzhi because of his crazy killing, and later once, Wang Wenshu had just ordered someone to arrest the criminal who had absconded to another county, but it happened to be spring, and then this person said a "famous saying through the ages", alas! If the winter is extended for another month, my business will be done."
Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, began his own performance, and sighed: "It is not the fault of others to make such fanatics the Taishou and Duwei of Hedong, but my fault."
In the coming day, I will personally go to the high temple to apologize to Emperor Gao and the first emperor! ”。
Hearing this, Liu Rong and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still sat down, they all knelt on the ground, and Chao Cuo even kowtowed: "How can this be Your Majesty's fault, the minister is the imperial historian, supervising hundreds of officials, but I don't know about it, this is the minister's fault, please punish Your Majesty!" ”。
After that, Prime Minister Taohou Liu She also jumped out and brushed his face, "As the prime minister, the minister assists the Son of Heaven and controls hundreds of officials, which is also the fault of the minister."
Then, under the persuasion of hundreds of officials, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally "changed his mind" and no longer apologized, saying: "I have made the people suffer because of my mistakes, and my heart is uneasy."
I want to issue an edict to reduce and exempt Hedong's taxes for three years, what do you think?"
Although Daddy's words are not sincere, no matter what Daddy says, he can be regarded as a wise man who cares about the people.
Liu Rong said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”。
The rest of the ministers also reacted, and they all said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”。
However, Shen Tugong and Zhou Yangyou were sentenced to extermination, and the matter in Hedong finally came to an end.
