Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eating the Scales
Lan Yu and Kexin came to Li Fan for a while, and Li Fan was still running wildly on the road, but the two of them were in a hurry!
The situation is urgent, and there is no good way, so the two of them have to come to Li Fan's mansion every day to squat!
Li Fanyi was already fast, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment!
When I came back, I saw Lan Yu and Kexin squatting at the door, both of them listless!
When the two saw Li Fanyi, they were as excited as if they saw a savior!
Lan Yu hurriedly said, "How many days have you been waiting for, where have you been?"
Li Fan had a bad premonition for a moment, and he didn't have time to answer Lan Yu's question, so he hurriedly said, "How is Liu Zhou's matter?"
It's okay not to ask, this question, Ke Xin even cried and shouted and knelt down and said: "Childe, please, you must save Liu Zhou!"
Li Fan hurriedly helped her up: "What's the matter, hurry up and talk to me,"
Ke Xin said: "When the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came back from Changzhou, the emperor condemned Liu Zhou to death,"
As soon as Li Fan looked at Lan Yu, Lan Yu nodded and said, what Ke Xin said is true!
Li Fan felt like the sky was falling for a moment, how could things get to such a point?
Li Fan said: "Yu'er, what did your father say about this?"
Lan Yu said: "Father said...... There's nothing he can do either! ”
Even Lan Yu's father said that he couldn't do anything, and Li Fan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter!
Li Fanyi: "Yu'er, let's go back to the house first, and then make a decision after I have found an adult!"
At this time, Lan Yu's father didn't know what to do, Li Fanyi's arrival made him see hope, but he felt that Li Fanyi would also be like himself, touching his nose in front of the emperor!
Li Fan hurriedly asked Lan Yu's father to say goodbye!
Lan Yu's father said: "Fan Yi, how is Zhang Wenbo?"
Li Fan hurriedly said: "My lord, he's fine, let's not talk about this, Liu Zhou's matter ......"
Lan Yu's father sighed, no matter how big things he encountered, Li Fanyi had never seen Lan Yu's father like this!
Li Fan said with a glimmer of hope: "My lord, is it ......?"
Lan Yu's father said: "Fan Yi, this official went to ask the emperor, and the matter is not just as simple as killing Liu Zhou, so ......"
Li Fan said: "Please also make it clear?"
Lan Yu's father said: "This matter is related to the emperor and King Jing, so ...... The official really tried his best,"
Li Fan suddenly felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue, maybe the situation was really as Lei Feiyun said, a Liu Zhou, it was really possible to trigger the next situation, whether it was peace or turmoil, no one dared to make up their minds!
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
Li Fan quit easily, adjusted his mood again, and went to appease Kexin and Lan Yu, saying that he would find a way!
Li Fan rushed back to the barracks, and at this time, he could only find Lei Feiyun!
In the barracks, Lei Feiyun was also sullen, and when he saw Li Fan come back, it was like seeing a relative, but his face instantly flashed a trace of displeasure!
Lei Feiyun said: "I'm back, brother Xian!"
Li Fan said: "Brother Feiyun, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and think of a way!"
Lei Feiyun said: "No matter what we say, the emperor shows no sign of relenting, so none of us can do anything!"
Li Fan's eyes were empty, and even Lei Lao Dao said this, I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver in things!
Li Fan said: "Brother Feiyun, I came back from Fuzhou, and I haven't gone to recover yet, so I'll go and explore the wind again!"
When Li Fan came to the gate of the palace, he almost forgot what he was doing when he came to the gate of the palace!
Li Fan was led by the little eunuch and went all the way to the south study!
Sun Yanren saw Li Fanyi and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The general is back?" How is Lord Zhang? ”
Li Fan hurriedly replied: "Father-in-law, everything is fine,"
Li Fanyi said again: "Father-in-law, is the emperor in a good mood?"
Sun Yanren instantly understood Li Fanyi's intention, and replied: "General, the emperor is also worried about this matter!" I'm afraid this matter is hanging,"
"If you don't like it, you, you'd better not be bored, lest no one be happy!"
After Sun Yanren finished speaking, he turned around and went to the emperor to say: "Long live, General Li is back, ask to see him outside the door!"
Shun Tianye was happy for a while, and there was a trace of displeasure on his face, "Hurry up!" ”
Li Fan knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live!"
Shun Tianye got up and said, "Aiqing, hurry up!"
"The general is tired all the way, I am very distressed, how is Wenbo now?"
Li Fan replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is all right now,"
Then, Li Fan told him about the rescue of Zhang Wenbo!
Lord Shun is already a little paralyzed against corrupt officials, as long as Zhang Wenbo is safe!
Shun Tianye said: "Okay, Aiqing has done things very effectively, I don't even know how to praise you!" Say, whatever Qing wants, I will find a way to give it to you! ”
Li Fanyi answered: "The emperor loves Weichen so much, which makes Weichen flattered!" It is a blessing for the minister to be able to relieve the emperor's worries! ”
"However, the minister doesn't want to praise, nor does he want fame and fortune, he only asks the emperor for one thing, can he let Liu Zhou go!"
Li Fan exited one by one, and Shun Tianye felt that he had made a mistake for a moment and dug a big hole for himself!
Shun Tianye couldn't speak: "Huh...... This ......"
"I can promise you anything other than that!"
Li Fan said: "Your Majesty, this is what the minister wants, please ask the emperor for permission!"
Shun Tianye was already angry at this time, but he could only suppress it, "Li Aiqing, if I remember correctly, a few days ago, Aiqing put down the rebellion in Qinjiang County, and then investigated the Qingzhou prefect, and then went out with the army,"
"I haven't stopped coming back, and I'm rushing to Fuzhou to share my worries!"
"Aiqing is so tired these days, I thought, let you go on a long vacation, Aiqing go and rest!"
Li Fanyi knows that there is little hope for things, but he must take a firm and clear position, and he must not let go!
Li Fan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to ask the emperor, for the sake of the minister's face, let Liu Zhou go, let him make meritorious service, and the minister promises to ......"
Shun Tianye suppressed his temper and said: "Li Aiqing, it's not that I don't spare him, it's really that human life is at stake, if I don't execute him, how can I convince the public?" Aiqing, let's go rest! ”
Li Fanyi was already on fire at this time, he didn't usually lose his temper, and he couldn't take care of it so much at this time, nothing was more important than saving Liu Zhou.
Li Fan said angrily: "Your Majesty, it seems that you won't listen to anything the minister says, you are hard-hearted!"
Li Fan started to talk to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you just said that the minister put down the rebellion in Qinjiang County a few days ago,"
"I don't know if the emperor can remember, when you got off your horse, the rebels rushed over in an instant, and at this moment of danger, the minister also saved your life!"
"Do you still remember that in the county government of Qinjiang County, it was Liu Zhou who risked his life to rescue him, don't you miss the old feelings at all?"
Shun Tianye recalled the war in Qinjiang County, and he still had palpitations in his heart! Of course he remembers these!
Shun Tianye's temper came up again, and he said angrily: "Aiqing, I ...... How could I forget, but these things can't be generalized, Aiqing go and rest! ”
Li Fan knelt down and said, "No, Your Majesty, you can't kill Liu Zhou,"
"Please also ask the emperor to let Liu Zhou go for the sake of protecting the country and being loyal to the monarch!"
Shun Tianye "snapped" on the table
Son, "Li Fanyi, I suppressed my anger, I have already given you enough face, you are still here and do not forgive, I think about it, and I have never lost you,"
"I've made up my mind, don't talk about this matter anymore, you can go down!"
When Li Fan heard this, he fell into complete despair, and began to kowtow to Shun Tianye, only to hear the sound of "bang bang bang," his head kept hitting the ground, and after a few clicks, Li Fan's forehead had begun to bleed!
"The minister begged the emperor to let Liu Zhou go,"
When Lord Shun saw that Li Fan ate the scales, he was heartbroken, and he couldn't leave!
shouted loudly: "Li Aiqing, among the courtiers, I am kind and loving to you, if you were someone else, maybe I would cut you down,"
In a hurry, Li Fan said: "It's better for the emperor to speak and count, and cut off the minister's head!"
Shun Tianye said angrily: "You ...... Li Aiqing, don't toast and don't eat and drink, I've already said it, don't ask about this matter again, I will give you a long vacation, you can go and relax, and go down to rest! ”
Li Fan thought to himself, anyway, if he gets out, he can cut off my head!
Li Fan said: "Your Majesty, then don't let the ministers take a long vacation, simply, allow the ministers to unload their armor and return to the field, and the ministers will return to their hometowns!"
The two of them were bullish, and when Shun Tianye saw this posture, he thought, "Okay, I won't listen to you, I won't persuade you to leave, if you don't go, I will go," and ran away without a trace!
Li Fanyi didn't know that Shun Tianye had left, and he was still kowtowing vigorously on the ground!
Sun Yanren came in and said distressedly: "General, the emperor has left, get up quickly!"
When Li Fan looked up, there was no figure of Shun Tianye in front of the dragon's desk, and his heart was full of sadness!
What about making meritorious contributions and defending the country desperately? What if both he and Liu Zhou saved the emperor's life? But if it ends up like this, people don't care at all!
As soon as Li Fan walked out of the palace, he was depressed and listless, and he didn't know what to do next!
I wanted to go to see Liu Zhou in prison, but I felt that I really had no face, and I wanted to stay with Lan Yu for a while, but I didn't know how to face Lan Yu and Kexin!
But they still couldn't help their own footsteps and came to the Song Mansion, Lan Yu and Kexin held on their faces full of hope, "How about it?" ”
Li Fanyi shook his head helplessly!
Ke Xin looked dazed, "Li Gongzi, Miss, Ke Xin wants to be alone and quiet, so I won't accompany you,"
Li Fanyi blamed himself: "Kexin, I'm sorry, it's my ......"
Ke Xin said in a somewhat blaming tone: "Childe, don't say it, Ke Xin doesn't dare to blame you,"
Li Fan returned to the barracks, and Lei Feiyun asked anxiously, "Brother Xian, how is it?"
Li Fan hung his head and shook his head!
Lei Feiyun knew that this would be the result, but no one wanted to accept this result, including Lord Shuntian!
Lei Feiyun said: "Brother Xian, my brother has prepared wine and food, my brother will accompany you to see Brother Liu Zhou!"
Li Fan said: "Hey, Brother Feiyun, in a few days, we will say goodbye to Liu Zhou Tiandi, I really don't know how to face Brother Liu Zhou?"
"Brother Feiyun, right now, is there really no way?"
"I know you have the most ideas, so please think of a way for Brother Feiyun! You can't just watch Liu Zhou......"
Lei Feiyun sighed and said: "Hey, what the emperor decides, how can we, as courtiers, do the master!"
Lei Feiyun choked up and said, "Brother Xian, I think, let's go and accompany Brother Liu Zhou more!" In the future, our three brothers will never have a chance to eat and drink again! ”
The two of them followed each other to the prison and directly used a carriage to pull a cart of wine!
When the two saw Liu Zhou in prison, they were heartbroken!
As soon as Li Fan realized that the matter was not until the last step, he must not let go, and he must do everything possible to save Liu Zhou, otherwise, he will not be able to bypass himself for the rest of his life!
