Chapter 1968: Accumulation of Broken Bones
Above the main hall, except for the sonorous voice of the imperial history, there was silence, no matter which camp it was, no matter whether this matter was true or false, no one wanted to get involved.
On the throne, His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water.
How could he not understand the purpose of these imperial histories to harvest prestige? This is a trick that the imperial historians have used, once upon a time, it was Wei Zheng who took these people to take the trouble to impeach him again and again as the emperor, not allowing him to do this, not allowing him to do that, to cultivate oneself and cultivate oneself, and always be a good emperor of the Holy Ming.
This is the duty of the imperial history, and it is also the foundation of their survival.
Abolition of the imperial history system?
Not to mention how much resistance it would encounter, His Majesty Li Er never thought about it.
Even if these imperial histories represent the interests of the family gatekeepers, they really come from the will of the people at the bottom, and they have never had and cannot have the opportunity to reach the holy hearing through them.
However, if the road of speech is blocked, the cadres are arbitrary, and that is the way to bring about their own destruction.
For an emperor, the will of the people at the bottom has never been important, and the "water" in "water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat" refers not to the common people, but to the vast number of scholars. The foundation of his rule lies in the scholar clan and the gate valve, so even if he hates the family gate lord to the bone, and wants to uproot it and crush the bones and scatter ashes, he has to slowly try to do it.
Because he knows very well that if all the family lords and nobles all over the world oppose him, then this emperor will be the end, like Emperor Yang of Sui......
It is necessary to maintain the power of the imperial history.
Although there are times when the existence of the imperial history makes him feel constrained by layers, more often, the imperial history is a knife in his hand, a quick knife that helps him remove the carrion tumor parasitic on the empire, and it is invincible.
The corrupt ministers in the court need the sword of the imperial history to eliminate it, and similarly, the people who do evil in the royal family also need this knife......
"Xuanjing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou and King Huo have an audience, and the lawsuit will be tried in front of the civil and military ministers in this hall."
His Majesty Li Er ordered.
In this way, if King Huo is framed by others, he will not be criticized, let alone be considered to be a protector of the clan's children. If King Huo is really unforgivable, he will punish him severely, and show his impartial side in front of the hundred officials to set an example.
The best of both worlds......
"Whoa!"
The attendants in the palace responded, walked out of the main hall quickly, called the guards of several guards outside the palace gate, and rushed to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything else, let's start quickly." His Majesty Li Er didn't pay much attention to this case, and said indifferently to the court's civil and military affairs.
Immediately, several scholars stood up on the train and started the affairs of their respective offices, asking the emperor to decide.
The discussion in the court gradually became active, but only the imperial historians led by Liu Xun looked at their noses and noses, and kept silent and did not say a word.
An undercurrent seems to be condensing and surging......
Before he could do so, the chamberlain said loudly outside the palace gate: "King Huo, Jing Zhaoyin, meet Your Majesty!" ”
The noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and an official who was leaving the class to start the performance arched his hand and returned to the train cleanly.
"Xuan!"
"Whoa!"
Footsteps sounded, Huo Wang Li Yuanliang and Jingzhao Yin Ma walked into the main hall one after another.
"We're here to see Your Majesty!" The two came to the temple, bowed and saluted, and spoke in unison.
His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne, looked at it condescendingly, and said indifferently: "Excuse me!" Ma Zhou, let's talk about it, how was the trial of the case of King Huo hitting people with a horse? ”
Ma Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the case is still under trial, after investigation, the deceased is a person from Lantian, who was disabled before his death, has not married, lives with his brother's family, and has no heirs. As for the course of the case, King Huo claimed that it was a house slave who could not avoid the collision, and was willing to bear all the compensation twice, but the captain of the right guard who patrolled that night claimed that the person who witnessed the collision was King Huo, and let the house slave convict, and intended to destroy the corpse, Wei Chen just sent someone to the scene to investigate, but found that the scene had been destroyed by the traveler, and could not be verified. ”
The site has been vandalized?
The eyes of the ministers subconsciously looked at King Huo Li Yuanliang, and the first thought in his mind was that this must have been done by King Huo, since he was able to do such a thing as destroying corpses and destroying traces, he used to have bad deeds, hurting people to death and persecuting the whole family was like gasping for breath and drinking water, so it was natural to destroy the scene and escape responsibility......
Li Yuanliang is a person of permeability, and immediately felt the unkind gaze of the ministers of the palace who either sneered or disdainful, and immediately said angrily: "If it wasn't for this king to send someone to destroy the scene, at that time, just killed the farmer, and the soldiers of the right guard fell from the sky, where did this king have time to destroy the scene?" ”
Ma Zhou was silent and did not express his position.
There is no evidence on King Huo's side, and there are burning words on the side of the right guard, so it will be handed over to the emperor to judge......
Li Yuanliang had already realized that something was wrong, he didn't know that there was a royal history before that brought out all his evil deeds eight hundred years ago, but he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little weird, and his heart was empty, so he quickly bowed to the ground, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen was young before, and he sat down for many ridiculous things, and he didn't dare to defend it. However, since he took up the domain of Xuzhou, he has never interfered in the local military and political affairs, and has been living in the mansion all day long, discussing the art of health preservation with the monks, and studying the study of scriptures and righteousness with the great Confucianism. Your Majesty, Wechen ......"
He has already sensed that the wind is not in the right direction, although he doesn't know why, but as a child of the royal family, his natural sense of crisis makes him make a decisive choice, and the lesser of the two powers!
Don't say anything, can't we admit it?
It's just that Your Majesty, for the sake of your brother's well-behaved and obedient brother over the years, it would be good to give him a light punishment......
However, before he could finish his pleading words, he saw a young imperial historian behind Liu Xun standing out of the train and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Weichen impeached King Huo for gathering monks and cultivating immortals, suspected of trespassing, contacting Confucianism, vain benevolence, and having bad intentions! ”
Li Yuanliang's eyes were round!
I stayed in the Xuzhou Mansion all day and didn't do anything, so I followed a group of scholars and Confucians to talk about drinking, is this also wrong?
"Your Majesty! This fang's heart is sinister, and he wants to separate from the heavenly family, which is really heinous! ”
Li Yuanliang hurriedly took a bite back, lest he be convicted of this crime.
There is nothing wrong with cultivating the Tao and living forever, but if you try to live forever, there is a suspicion of trespassing; There is nothing wrong with making friends with Confucianism, and there is nothing wrong with learning people to get together in one place to talk about the scriptures and righteousness, which is not wrong, but to buckle a big hat of "contacting Confucianism and giving grace to oneself", it will be fatal!
Grace comes from above, you are a vassal king, what do you want to do when you gather a group of great Confucians?
Li Yuanliang was terrified......
It's just killing a farmer, so why not?
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Xun stood up again and said loudly: "King Huo committed murder on horseback, not only did he not receive timely treatment after hitting and injuring pedestrians, but until the injured died, not only did he not realize his mistake, but instead instructed the house slaves to destroy the corpses and traces, and the tyranny of his temperament and the corruption of his morals have been irreparable, resulting in damage to the royal prestige, His Majesty's prestige has been greatly reduced, and his sins are unforgivable!" Moreover, it colludes with places in fiefdoms and covets the way of heaven, which is what the ministers do? I only hope that Your Majesty will learn from him, seize his lordship, cut off his fiefdom, sanction him, and punish the former and the latter! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty understood that Yu Shitai was using the previous tricks again, first making King Huo's reputation stink, and then discussing the rights and wrongs of things.
This trick is very scoundrel, which makes many ministers who have suffered from it bitterly hate, but they have to admit that in this era when fame is equal to everything, this trick does work.
You are so heinous, how can you not do those bad things?
Li Yuanliang's face turned white with fright.
Why is this going to win the knighthood?!
He glared at Liu Xun, eager to bite this mad dog to death, did Lao Tzu steal your daughter-in-law or did he jump into the well with your child, as for being so vicious?
There is no way to survive at all......
However, he knew that it would be pale to make any justification at this moment, these impeachments were basically true, and he couldn't explain even the fact that he was hit and killed by a horse, which made his "villainous" attribute deep-rooted, and even the accusation of befriending Fang Shi and communicating with Confucianism became "unwarranted".
"Unwarranted" is going to die!
Does the Emperor Need Proof?
Not at all!
As long as he thinks that you may covet the throne and endanger the imperial power, he can kill the killer without any evidence at all!
The only thing Li Yuanliang could do was to plead and plead, hoping that the emperor would read the past love and open up the net, and not let himself become the target of the mad dogs of Yushitai......
However, what he didn't expect was that this trend started from the Yushitai, but it was not something that the Yushitai could fully control......
