Chapter 866: Great Disappointment
Liu Xiu also found it hard to believe that his uncle would fornicate with Gongsun Shu, his uncle was a little stubborn, and his mind may not be very smart, but the most basic bottom line can still be kept.
Liu Xiu pondered for a while and asked, "Li Zhongcheng, except for King Zhao, you haven't revealed Li Bing's identity to anyone else?" β
Li Youzheng said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has only mentioned it to King Zhao, and has definitely not revealed it to anyone else!" β
Liu Xiu asked, "Why did you reveal Li You's identity to King Zhao!" β
"This ...... Be...... It's really hard for Weichen to shirk, so he ...... I had to reveal it to King Zhao! β
Liu Xiu was puzzled: "It was King Zhao who took the initiative to ask you about this?" β
Li You nodded, and now he has nothing to hide.
He said: "King Zhao has placed a lot of land in Nanyang, and he is worried that the imperial envoy will investigate, so he specially asked Weichen about the list of imperial envoys. β
Liu Xiufu forehead, his uncle, has all his thoughts on this, and he is particularly concerned about buying a land and receiving a house, as if he is afraid that the money will not be enough.
The dignified prince is not afraid of being laughed at when it is passed out! He nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this matter, that's it, and I don't need to mention it in the future." β
"Yes! Your Majesty! β
Li Youchang breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but lift his sleeves, and wiped the cold sweat on his head.
Liu Xiu continued: "Also, you can't mention the matter discussed today to anyone, if you leak the news again, no matter who it is revealed to, I will severely punish it!" β
Hua Feiyan, Feng Yi, and Li You all bowed down and responded: "The concubine (Weichen) obeys!" β
Liu Xiu turned his eyes, looked at Feng Yi, and said: "Gongsun, it's rare for you to go back to Beijing, go home early, meet your family, and take a good rest, next, I'm afraid you will have to be busy again." β
Feng Yi understood what Liu Xiu meant, he owed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen retires." β
He was about to exit the main hall, Liu Xiu suddenly stopped him again, and then, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Feng Yi, and said: "This is the jade talisman of the Son of Heaven. β
Feng Yi was secretly taken aback, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, hurriedly walked to Liu Xiu, knelt on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... His Majesty trusts Wechen so much, Wechen ...... Wechen was terrified. β
Liu Xiu got up, walked to Feng Yi, helped him up, and said: "I said, between you and me, righteousness is a monarch and a minister, and it is really a brother, even now, lying in the palace bed, I will often dream of that bowl of bean porridge back then!" β
His words almost made Feng Yi cry.
Feng Yi didn't say a word, and once again knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times in a row, and then raised his hands.
Liu Xiu put the jade talisman in Feng Yi's hand and said meaningfully: "Sanfu is Xijing, the important place of the country, I will give it to Gongsun!" β
Feng Yi wiped the tears from his eyes, sniffed, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "Sanfu is here, Weichen is alive, if Sanfu is lost, Weichen will raise his head and return to see Your Majesty!" β
Liu Xiu helped Feng Yi up again, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Gongsun's return to Beijing this time is really special, I won't reward it, and when Gongsun returns to Beijing next time, I will have a heavy reward!" β
"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!"
Feng Yi bowed and saluted, and then exited the main hall.
Liu Xiu gave Feng Yi all the jade talismans of the Son of Heaven, which made Li You grin secretly.
This jade talisman can not only mobilize the three auxiliary officials, but all under Luoyang's rule, no matter the officials, soldiers and horses, can be mobilized.
Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Feng Yi! When Feng Yi left the palace, his eyes were red, and he had obviously just cried, and the whole person looked depressed, as if he had been hit hard.
Feng Yi left the palace, got into the carriage, and returned directly to his mansion.
When he got home, he never came out again, did not go to visitors, and did not see visitors.
The next morning, Feng Yi left the house early and went to the palace.
Seeing Feng Yi coming to the court, many ministers were surprised.
They didn't hear about Feng Yi's return to Beijing yesterday.
Some generals who were good friends with Feng Yi stepped forward to greet each other, and Feng Yi and the people who came to greet each other saluted, but they seemed absent-minded, didn't talk much, and looked worried.
When Liu Xiu arrived at the palace, the ministers entered the hall, and after meeting the Son of Heaven, the three princes sat down, and the rest of the ministers stood on both sides.
Without waiting for others to speak, Li You took the lead in attacking Feng Yi, he stepped out of the ranks, saluted Liu Xiushen, and said: "Your Majesty, the general of Zhengxi beheaded Chang'an in Chang'an privately, this is already a serious crime, and connived at the people of Sanfu to call him 'King of Xianyang'. β
As soon as Li You's words fell, another minister came out of the ranks, holding the wat board with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal!" β
In the imperial history, Li You opened the prelude to the impeachment of Feng Yi, and the civil ministers seconded it one after another.
The generals were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
People turned their eyes to Feng Yi one after another, and signaled him with their eyes, don't stand here, hurry up and plead with Your Majesty! Liu Xiu turned his gaze, looked at Feng Yi, and asked expressionlessly, "What does General Feng have to say?" β
Feng Yi lowered his head and whispered, "Weichen...... Wechen has nothing to say! β
"What a thing to say!"
Li You glanced at Feng Yi and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy Li Bing was killed in Chang'an, and Weichen thought that this matter must be inseparable from the general of Zhengxi!" β
Feng Yi's body was shocked, he turned his head to look at Li You angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Li Zhongcheng, don't spew blood!" β
Li You said-for-tat: "The general of Zhengxi resents Li Bing's accusation against you, so he sent someone to kill him in the inn!" β
Feng Yi's face turned blue with anger, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Does Li Zhongcheng have any evidence?" β
Li Youzheng said: "Although I have no evidence, my inference is reasonable! β
Feng Yi said angrily: "Without evidence, you are framed!" β
Li You asked rhetorically: "Li Bingzhi's report, but is it also framed?" β
Feng Yi stopped talking, glared at Li You angrily, his fists clenched tightly.
Liu Xiu's gaze swept over Feng Yi and Li You, and it seemed that he was also embarrassed about how to deal with Feng Yi.
At this time, the counselor Wang Yuan came out and said to Liu Xiu: "General Feng made such a big mistake, I don't know if Your Majesty is going to deal with General Feng like this?" β
"This ......" "Is Your Majesty still going to continue to protect General Feng?"
Wang Yuan's face turned red, and he gasped and said: "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, General Feng first killed the Chang'an Order, and then killed the imperial envoy, it is really a great crime, if Your Majesty still wants to shelter, it is really chilling the courtiers, and even more chilling to the people of the world, please be cautious!" β
"Please be cautious Your Majesty!"
Many civil ministers knelt on the ground and bowed their heads forward.
Liu Xiu rubbed his forehead, and after a while, he looked at the Great Situ Fu Zhan and the Great Sikong Song Hong, and asked, "What do Fu Gong and Song Gong think?" β
Without waiting for Fu Zhan to speak, Song Hongzheng said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if there is a law, it must be followed, and no matter who the lawbreaker is, it should be punished according to the law." β
The implication is that he also supports Wang Yuan and others to deal with Feng Yi.
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Now is the time for the country to employ people, General Feng is good at governing the army, and he is even better at fighting, leading the army to guard the west, and the three auxiliaries are solid, if you ask General Feng now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" β
Song Hong said: "Doctor Wang once said that Xia Wei businessmen are also talented, and Weichen thinks so, with Xia Wei's businessmen's talents, they all end up in ruin.
I hope that Your Majesty will take it as a warning and don't repeat the mistakes of the past! β
Last time, Wang Yuan used Xia Jian Shang as a metaphor, and Liu Xiu was very angry, and today Song Hong also moved out of Xia Ji Shang as a metaphor, Liu Xiu was so angry that his liver hurt.
In fact, he just wanted to see if there were really ministers in the DPRK and China who wanted to severely punish Feng Yi with the current situation, but he didn't expect that there were not a few such ministers, including Song Hong.
Liu Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart, he looked at Fu Zhan and asked, "What does Fu Gong mean?" β
Fu Zhan frowned, according to the law, Feng Yi should indeed be severely punished, but the question is, after punishing Feng Yi, who can lead the Western Expeditionary Army?
The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army are all good at recruiting and fighting, and all of them are outstanding in battle, but it is not that the imperial court can suppress them by appointing a chief general at will.
After thinking about it, Fu Zhan said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, General Feng is certainly at fault, but ...... General Feng guarded the western region, repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and made outstanding achievements, and also ...... It's enough to make up for it! β
When Song Hong heard this, he looked sideways at Fu Zhan, he really didn't expect that Fu Zhan would be able to say such a thing.
Governing the country according to law is the foundation of the country, and Fu Zhan is now trying to destroy this concept?
Song Hong said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty often says that meritorious service should be rewarded, and if there is a fault, there should be a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and it should not be mixed up!" General Feng has indeed made outstanding achievements, but General Feng has indeed committed serious crimes, and I hope that Your Majesty will govern the country according to the law, and do not show favoritism! β
The great Sikong Song Hong stood up to speak, and the doctor Wang Yuan came to the spirit, and he reasoned with Liu Xiu like a river and gave examples.
Liu Xiu looked impatient, waved his hand to Wang Yuan, and then pondered for a long time, he turned his head to look at Deng Chen, and said, "Deng Tingwei!" β
Deng Chen hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen is here!" β
"General Feng's case, it's up to you to try it!"
It was Cen Peng who originally held the position of Tingwei, and later Cen Peng was promoted to the general of Zhengnan, and the person who took over Tingwei has been changing, and finally it was Deng Chen's turn, and the candidate for Tingwei was considered to be stable.
Tingwei is the highest official in charge of judicial affairs, and in modern terms, Tingwei is the president of the Supreme Court.
Hearing that Liu Xiu handed over this errand to himself, Deng Chen grinned secretly, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Weichen obeys the order!" β
Liu Xiu reminded: "Deng Tingwei can't wronged good people for the crimes he wants to add, nor can he shield and connive at the case of conclusive evidence. β
Deng Chen bowed down and responded: "Weichen remember His Majesty's teachings!" β
Regarding Liu Xiu's handing over Feng Yi to Deng Chen for trial, Song Hong, Wang Yuan and other ministers were not very satisfied.
Deng Chen and Feng Yi are old comrades-in-arms, old friends, and old friends, and let Deng Chen try Feng Yi's case, I'm afraid it will only end in the end.
"Your Majestyβ" Song Hong, Wang Yuan and the others were about to speak, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, today's court discussion, let's stop here!" β
As he spoke, he held his forehead with one hand and waved his sleeve with the other.
Although today's court meeting was just a show, Liu Xiu was very disappointed with Song Hong's performance.
Song Hong pays attention to governing the country according to law, which is not wrong in itself, but it also depends on the current environment, but Song Hong has no vision and consideration in this regard at all, compared with it, Fu Zhan can think of this.
