Chapter 13 Suppressing the Government Hall
Everyone listened to the two East Palace Prison Keepers speak again.
As soon as the two finished speaking, Liu Xun was the first to stand up and speak: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not right, since someone has sued His Royal Highness the Prince, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has brought people to the gate of the East Palace, the prince should come out and explain to everyone clearly, how to let people beat them away?"
Li Chengqian ignored Liu Xun, looked at everyone and still asked lightly, "You also think so?"
The crowd was silent.
"What about the two of you, you are the left and right prison leaders of the East Palace, do you also think that when others hit the gate of the East Palace, you should go out?" Li Chengqian asked in a cold voice towards the two prison gates.
At this time, the two prison guards had realized the seriousness of the problem, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to speak out.
"Where is Donggong Qianniuwei?"
With Li Chengqian's broken drink, a group of Donggong Qianniu Guards suddenly agreed, and the leader was Hou Junji's son-in-law Helan Chushi.
"Today, the guards standing guard outside the Jiafu Gate are each responsible for 80 military sticks, and the left and right prison guards and deputy leaders and Changshi are each responsible for 60 ......."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is responsible for his own mistakes, why should he punish others?" Liu Xun changed color.
"Liu Xun! What did the Lone King do wrong?" Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at the old man steadily.
"Ma'am...... Someone sues His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not wrong?" Liu Xun resigned.
Li Chengqian knew that Liu Xun had always been stubborn and self-serving, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Sun Fujia someone told King Gu, what should you do in Dali Temple? Is it time to take someone to the East Palace?"
"This, this ......"
Sun Fujia couldn't answer such a question for a while, it must be wrong to break into the East Palace, but admit his mistake in front of the prince?
"Our Governor Liu doesn't know how to try cases and sentence prisoners, doesn't know the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and doesn't understand the humility of the upper and lower levels, why don't you even understand you, the great Siqing?" Li Chengqian sat in the high place and looked at Sun Fujia, and asked in a loud voice.
"The case involving the crown prince, when the interrogation is clear, please ask Your Majesty to decide." It took Sun Fujia a lot of effort to say this.
"What did you do today?" Li Chengqian continued to question.
"The minister is guilty!" Sun Fujia fell to the ground, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his head.
At this time, Li Chengqian raised his head and shouted: "Helan Chushi pulled these two wastes out and beat a hundred military sticks. ”
"Yes," the bulls agreed again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, spare his life! ……”
Li Chengqian immediately heard the sound of "bangbang......" walking sticks and screams outside.
Li Chengqian lowered his head and looked at Sun Fujia, who was still lying on the ground, and said lightly: "I heard that there is only one Lu Shaoqing in Yamen in your Dali Temple today, and as soon as he arrived at Yamen in the afternoon, he received dozens of people complaining to King Gu, and he didn't ask a word after receiving the complaint, so he brought someone to force his way into the East Palace, did you discuss it?"
"The minister is guilty, but the minister did not go to the yamen today because of a bad stomach." Sun Fujia is really scared now.
When Li Chengqian saw that he had received the expected effect, he ignored him, turned his head to look at Gao Shilian and said, "Uncle and grandfather, you see that your father and the emperor have just left the capital, and some people can't help it."
Let's talk about today's events, the officials in Dali Temple can hide, and then someone sues King Gu, Lu Bu is obviously the Shaoqing of Dali Temple but knows the law and violates the law, and brings people to force the East Palace.
It's just like the dead people at the left and right prison gates of the East Palace, Master Kong didn't even ask about it, and yelled at the gate of the East Palace, as if he was just waiting for the lonely king to come out?
You said that if the Lone King came out today, what would happen if there were thieves in the crowd?" Speaking of which, he turned his gaze to the others.
"This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated, and once it is found that there is indeed a conspiracy inside, all those involved will not be tolerated." Gao Shilian can be regarded as a statement.
"The minister also feels that a thorough investigation is needed." Yang Shidao finally said a word.
"The minister also agreed to a thorough investigation." Hou Junji also expressed his support.
"Okay, it's up to you. Gu Wang heard that Qiu Xinggong, the general of the Right Marquis of Wu, was strict by nature and was feared by his colleagues, so this case was very wide, so he would hand it over to him to investigate. ”
Li Chengqian ignored Liu Xun at all, but Liu Xun still had to jump out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't just say that he deliberately assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just because he sued His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" As soon as Liu Xun's words came out, the other three prime ministers all glared at him angrily.
"Why have all the people broken into the gate of the East Palace, can't they even check it?" Hou Junji went back directly.
"In this way, the investigation is divided into two aspects, one is the case of suing the lonely king, this must be investigated clearly and ask whether the things they are telling are falsely accused, if not, find out who is using the name of the lonely king to do those things that harm the people, as long as it is found out, even if it involves people in the East Palace, the lonely king will never protect it.
If it is a false accusation, find out who instructed them to make the false accusation. If this case is not investigated, it will be difficult for the lone king to wash away his grievances, so he will hand it over to Sun Fujia and Sun Qing's family to investigate. After a pause, seeing that Sun Fujia was silent, he asked in a cold voice: "Sun Sun Fujia, are you willing to investigate this case?"
"The minister is willing!" Sun Fujia is still wearing a guilty body, and he has been kneeling for a long time, dare not to investigate.
"Calm down. The other is to check the prison rate of Lubu, Kong Yingda and the East Palace, and this will be handed over to Qiu Xinggong to check to see what conspiracy is behind it. ”
This method is very clever, and it clearly tells everyone that no matter whether the matter complained in Dali Temple is true or false, those involved in the forcible entry into the East Palace are guilty. The matter of suing the East Palace continued to follow the normal process in Dali Temple, but the latter one was specially sent to a general to handle it, and it was clear which was important.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xun, who still had the same expression of indebtedness, and said, "No matter what the prince says, the ministers will inform Your Majesty of this matter." ”
"No one here said that they want to hide it from their father, of course you can tell your father, the lone king will ask you now, what is your opinion on this matter Lone King does?" Li Chengqian is really hot.
"The minister has nothing to say." Liu Xun said expressionlessly.
"Now that it's settled, give the order!" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.
"Respect the Prince's decree." Hou Junji said at the same time.
"In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Du He, you first lead people to arrest these people, and be careful not to let them commit suicide in fear of sin." Duhe was ordered to go out.
"Then Kong Yingda is already seventy years old, I'm afraid I will suffer from prison." Gao Shilian reminded.
"Master Kong is forbidden in Zuo Chunfang. The city gate has been closed tonight, and the note to my father will be handed over tomorrow.
There is also an accident with the left and right prison rates in the East Palace, so let Qiu Xinggong's son Qiu Shenji have the right to know the left and right prison rates. Li Chengqian arranged it one by one, and the orderly manner made several prime ministers present feel deeply pressured, and there was no ease when they came.
As the prince's decrees stamped with the prime minister's seal through Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province passed out of the East Palace, the entire Chang'an City moved.
Li Chengqian sent away several prime ministers, Qiu Xinggong and Qiu Shenji, father and son, came to the East Palace together, Li Chengqian received them in the Lizheng Palace, Qiu Xinggong was a tall and thin old man in his sixties, his demeanor was very serious, and he saluted Li Chengqian meticulously.
Li Chengqian told him about the matter, and before he said that he was required to be seriously tried, he first solemnly saluted Li Chengqian and said: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen will torture this cadre tonight, and be sure to find out." "I'm leaving.
Li Chengqian stopped him and said: "General, please remember that Master Kong is not allowed to be tortured, and the general will be judged tonight, and the results will be revealed without the order of King Gu." ”
"Wechen understands." As he spoke, he walked out.
Li Chengqian looked at Qiu Xinggong's back as he left in a hurry, and secretly thought in his heart that he was a ruthless character who could eat people's hearts and livers, and he didn't drag his feet in doing things at all.
Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Qiu Shenji, Qiu Shenji was only in his twenties at this time, and he was also a tall and thin man, and he had always looked a little sluggish with a wooden face, and it was hard to think that he would become a cool official.
"The original prison rate of the East Palace is no longer reliable, you go and pick some young recruits from ordinary backgrounds tomorrow." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused and said solemnly: "General Qiu's East Palace Supervisor will be handed over to you, and the net worth and life of this palace will also be handed over to you." ”
"I am willing to die for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Qiu Shenji's achievements have reached the ground.
Li Chengqian helped him up, patted him on the shoulder with relief, and said, "Go get busy." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Shenji saluted again, took two steps back, and went out silently.
