Deng Yu entered the cell, first looked around, then put down the wine and food, and said with a smile: "Tian Taishou, your environment here is not bad!" ”

Tian Yi stood up and arched his hand and said, "Gong Deng! ”

"Sit, sit, sit!"

Deng Yu waved his hand to Tian Yi, then reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, handed it to Tian Yi, and said: "This bottle of gold sore medicine, rewarded by Your Majesty, is very useful, nothing to do, Tian Taishou will treat the wound himself." ”

Tian Yi took the small porcelain vase, nodded to Deng Yu, and said, "Thank you Deng Gong." ”

Deng Yu raised his head at him and asked, "The injuries on your body ......" "It's just some skin injuries, and they don't get in the way." ”

As he spoke, Tian Yi sat down, picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Deng Yu, and said happily: "Xiaguan is injured with this body, and it is worth moving to Song Hong!" ”

After saying that, he laughed, tilted his head, and drank the wine in his glass.

Deng Yu took a sip and said, "This time it's a bit too big!" ”

Tian Yi smiled and said meaningfully: "If things don't make a big fuss, how can you succeed in bringing down Song Hong, the great master!" Deng Gong, you have also seen how Song Hong treats the lower officials, if you can't bring down Song Hong today, as long as the lower officials fall into Song Hong's hands with a little bit in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Deng Yu never thought of making such a big deal and making it so serious.

He asked, "Wang Cang and Liang Da, both of them were arranged in advance by Tian Taishou, right?" ”

Tian Yi bowed to Deng Yu and said, "Duke Deng, don't hide it, the two of them are indeed the henchmen of the lower officials, and they were arranged by the lower officials in advance. ”

Deng Yu nodded, and he knew that this was the case.

He asked, "The other witnesses are the same, right?" ”

Tian Yi lowered his head and said, "This opportunity is too rare for Xiaguan, and Xiaguan doesn't want to miss it." ”

Either you don't do it, and since you do it, you must move to Song Hong.

Deng Yu said quietly: "Actually, you don't have to do this, and you don't have to do so much. ”

"Xiaguan ......" "Okay, since everything that should be done and what shouldn't be done has been done, then it is about to end now, so don't make mistakes."

"Deng Gong rest assured, these witnesses are all henchmen of the lower officials, and there will never be any mistakes."

"So much the best!"

Deng Yu didn't say much, picked up the wine glass, touched the cup with Tian Yi, and the two drank the wine in the cup together.

Tian Yi's case is not difficult to investigate, in fact, Tian Yi did not conspire against each other in the first place, he asked for physical evidence, there was no physical evidence, and he asked for human evidence, all of which were human witnesses who were 'beaten into tricks'.

No matter how this case is investigated, even if it is three feet into the ground, it will not be able to find out any problems with Tianyi.

At the end of the case, after a tripartite trial by the Tingwei Mansion, Shangshutai, and Lantai (imperial envoys), it was concluded that the case of Tianyi's rebellion was pure nonsense, and it was a malicious case of framing false accusations.

As the initiator of this case, Song Hong is naturally guilty of the crime.

Morning.

Deng Chen reported the results of the investigation of the Tianyi conspiracy case to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu looked through the file submitted by Deng Chen, and the contents of it were clearly organized, and one by one, all of them were justified and well-founded.

Liu Xiu read it, picked up the file, shook it to Song Hong, and said, "Song Sikong! ”

"Wechen is here!"

Song Hong bowed out of the ranks.

"This is the result of the Tingwei Mansion's investigation into the Tianyi case, do you want Song Sikong to take a look?"

Without waiting for Song Hong to speak, Liu Xiu handed the file to Zhang Kun on the side, who took it, walked down the steps, came to Song Hong, held the file with both hands, and said, "Dasikong, please take a look." ”

Song Hong's palms trembled, and he took the file and unfolded it to look at it carefully.

He had read it from beginning to end, and beads of sweat were on his forehead.

Song Hong knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "What is the Tianyi case...... It's Wechen's negligence, it's Wechen's preconceived ideas, and he's in a hurry to get it......" "What a preconceived one, in a hurry!" Song Sikong's understatement may bring the county military captain Han Pei back from the dead? ”

Han Pei was the general of the county army who was ordered to be shot by Song Hong.

Now that it has been ascertained that Tian Yi did not rebel, then the responsibility for Han Pei's killing is all on him Song Hong.

Song Hong kowtowed forward and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is guilty!" ”

"Song Sikong's mistake, why not kill Han Pei by mistake?

You tortured Tian Yi to no avail, and you tortured Shangdang Changshi, Shangdang County Cheng and other county government officials to extract confessions, and the entire county government was beaten and bruised, how do you explain it? ”

Liu Xiu asked in a deep voice.

The beads of sweat on Song Hong's face had begun to drip downward, and he couldn't say a word.

Deng Yu hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, knelt down beside Song Hong, and said: "This trip to the party, it is Weichen and Song Sikong walking, Song Sikong is at fault, but Weichen is also at fault, please Your Majesty punish it together!" ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Deng Yu would stand up to help Song Hong share the responsibility.

Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Yu, waved his hand and said, "You two get up!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Yuan immediately stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Song Sikong and General Deng have framed Zhongliang, and the wind of this move cannot be broken, and I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish you to set an example!" ”

As a counselor, Wang Yuan would not miss an opportunity to guide and correct the Son of Heaven.

This time, Song Hong and Deng Yu ran to Shangdang County, making such a big oolong, looking at His Majesty's posture, it seems that he wants to forget it, in Wang Yuan's opinion, this is not good, making such a big mistake, how can it be just like this?

Liu Xiu glanced at Wang Yuan and said, "How to punish the mistakes of Song Sikong and General You, I have my own consideration. ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xiu summoned Deng Yu.

After the meeting, Liu Xiu asked: "Zhonghua, why do you want to intercede for Song Sikong in the court today?" ”

Deng Yu said blankly: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't help Song Sikong intercede!" ”

Liu Xiu glanced at him, and when he was about to punish Song Hong, Deng Yu stood up and took the initiative to ask to be punished with Song Hong, and by doing so, he was actually helping Song Hong intercede.

He smiled and asked, "Zhonghua, don't I understand your thoughts?" ”

In Tianyi's case, Liu Xiu didn't know how much Deng Yu was involved, but one thing Liu Xiu was sure of was that if Deng Yu hadn't blocked it, with Song Hong's person, he would have done things so radically.

Deng Yu was silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "If Weichen didn't stand up at that time, how does Your Majesty plan to punish Song Sikong?" ”

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "Punished for framing!" ”

Deng Yu said: "Song Sikong is a world-famous scholar, and his virtue is well known and praised by the people, if Your Majesty punishes Song Sikong for the crime of framing, the people may not believe it, but will think that Your Majesty is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and even, there will be rumors that Your Majesty is in the communiqué for personal vendetta!" ”

Back then, Song Hong indignantly rejected Liu Xiu's proposal for Liu Huang, and until now, it is still talked about by people! After listening to Deng Yu's words, Liu Xiu said: "So what? ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty can't punish Song Sikong too severely, so as not to be true.

In the opinion of Wei Chen, His Majesty can dismiss Song Sikong from his official position. ”

Deng Yu said.

Liu Xiu frowned and said, "It's just a dismissal, I'm afraid that in Tianyi and even the Shangdang County Government, I can't explain it, right?" ”

Deng Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Tian Taishou is a reasonable person, and Your Majesty can remove Song Sikong from his official position, which is enough to calm the grievances of Tian Taishou and the Shangdang County Government."

In addition, after a pause, Deng Yu said again: "Weichen feels that Tian Taishou is not suitable to continue to serve as the party Taishou!" ”

"Oh?"

Liu Xiu asked puzzledly: "Hasn't Tianyi been confirmed that there is no rebellion?" ”

Deng Yu said meaningfully: "Through this incident, it can be seen that the top and bottom of the Shangdang County Government are indeed Tian Taishou's henchmen, Tian Taishou is in Shangdang County, and he can indeed cover the sky with one hand, and the prestige of local officials is so high, it is not conducive to the imperial court, this is one of them."

Second, Tian Taishou has been guarding Shangdang County for many years, and he has indeed made meritorious contributions, but he has not made too bright achievements, and Weichen believes that he should transfer any minister with outstanding ability to serve as Shangdang Taishou to prevent the trouble of Lu Fang in the north! ”

Liu Xiu thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Zhonghua, in my opinion, there is no one more suitable to be a party leader than Tian Yi. ”

Deng Yu looked at Liu Xiu suspiciously.

Liu Xiu said: "The biggest advantage of Tian Yi is that he accepts his fate and is content!" He doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to keep his one-third of an acre.

Therefore, Tian Yi is an official, he will not have dazzling achievements, and he will not take the initiative to attack recklessly, but it is also difficult for Lu Fang to take advantage of Shangdang County, which Tian Yi guards.

I am very relieved to hand over Shangdang County to Tianyi Town Guard! ”

"It turns out that His Majesty thinks so."

Deng Yu thought about it carefully and nodded slowly.

Liu Xiu said: "This time Song Hong framed Tian Yi for rebellion, since the truth has been ascertained, if I still transfer Tian Yi away from Shangdang, this will not only make Tian Yi cold, but also make Shangdang County Government and the people of Shangdang cold, so this is not good for the imperial court." ”

Even if you want to transfer Tianyi, it can't be now, you have to wait until later, when this gust of wind has completely passed.

Deng Yu bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, it is Weichen who is short-sighted and inconsiderate. ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Zhonghua is too humble, and being able to move to Song Hong is not something that a short-sighted and ill-thinking person can do." ”

When Deng Yu heard this, his heart was tight, and he hurriedly bowed to Liu Xiu, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen ......" Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "At the beginning of the imperial court, Song Hong did contribute a lot and recommended many talents to the imperial court, but in recent years, Song Hong's measures have become more and more extreme, and there is a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu asked, "Zhong Hua thinks that who is the most suitable person to take over as the Great Sikong?" ”

Deng Yu owed himself and said, "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Liu Xiuxiao asked, "How about Zhong Hua to take over as the Great Sikong?" ”

Deng Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only a shallow scholar and is not qualified for the position of the great secretary. ”

Deng Yu is not pretending to be modest now, but he is unwilling to take over as the chief secretary in his heart.

Among the three dukes, Da Sikong is the busiest official.

Originally, Da Situ should be the busiest, Da Situ is equivalent to the prime minister, and all government affairs are under the management of Da Situ, but now Shang Shutai has gradually replaced Da Situ's authority, and Da Situ has become vain.

This is not the case with the big sikong, who is in charge of many miscellaneous affairs, and the problem of food is under the control of the big sikong; Where it should be built and where it should be repaired, it should be under the control of the big sikong officer; Where there is a flood, where the dam is to be repaired and the dock to be built, it is also under the control of the big division.

The big government affairs can't fall on the big bosses, but these messy trivial things are piled up one by one.

Now that Deng Yu is the right general, he lives a leisurely life, visiting relatives and friends on weekdays, teaching Liu Yang, it is very easy, so that he will not be greedy for the false name of Da Sikong and find guilt for himself.

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him, his eyes were shining, Deng Yu's heart was furious, his mind was in a hurry, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Weichen suddenly thought of a suitable candidate?" ”

"Who?"

Liu Xiuxiao asked.

"Dimension (Li Tong)!"

Deng Yu Zhengse said: "Now that the dimension is the former general, in this regard, the eldest princess of Ningping has always complained, thinking that His Majesty knows that the dimension is not in good health, and he is not considerate of the dimension, so that the dimension suffers in the army, and now, if Your Majesty lets the dimension take over as the great secretary, the eldest princess of Ningping will have no complaints, not to mention, the eldest princess of Ningping will be in Nanyang Tuntian with the dimension, and the life must be very hard, transfer the dimension back to Luoyang, and His Majesty can also reunite with the relatives of the eldest princess of Ningping. ”

At this time, Deng Yu was like a river and talked endlessly.

In his heart, he apologized to Li Tong vigorously.

Li Tong is very willing to serve in the army, of course Deng Yu knows this, but there is no way, now he does not recommend Li Tong, maybe he will have to go up.
