Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dead Liu Yi and the Dying Wei Zheng

Li Chengqian didn't care about Liu Xun's death, he thought that Liu Xun's reputation had already stinked, and no one would blatantly avenge him.

This is clearly an idealization of his opponent.

Liu Xun's encounter in the resettlement site of the disaster victims in Wannian County spread all over Chang'an City that night, thinking about how great the transmission energy of the more than 3,000 official eunuchs was, and the Criminal Department did not hide the arrest of Liu Xun's son.

For a time, Liu Xun disregarded the livelihood of the disaster for his own interests, resulting in thousands of people starving to death in two days. In just half a day, the news spread in Chang'an City, coupled with thousands of people writing poems and writing criticism, has indeed achieved the effect that Li Chengqian wants.

But the next morning, when the news of Liu Xun's death came out, the hundred officials of Chang'an City were collectively speechless, and all the officials did not mention the matter, even the people who had already written the impeachment of Liu Xun silently hid the music and kept silent about the matter.

A prime minister, without the emperor's edict, and the corruption case has not yet been tried, died so inexplicably, which made many officials feel uneasy.

Baiguan thinks about it again, when Liu Xun was forcibly poured sorghum soup, he was left in the disaster victim's place to be humiliated, and finally thousands of poems were written to criticize, especially the poem "Official Hamster" written by His Royal Highness the Prince, which can be said to be a sentence of criticism, and the sentence is simple, it is very easy to sing among the people, and it is likely to be passed down through the ages.

Many officials knew why Li Chengqian targeted Liu Xun, but looking at Liu Xun's fate, they still gave Li Chengqian such an evaluation as 'harsh and unkind'.

The silence of most officials gave hope to the leaderless Wei Wang party.

Cui Renshi took the lead and called Du Chuke and Wei Ting to go to Liu Xun's funeral together, and the three of them came to Liu's mansion and saw only an old housekeeper and Liu Xun's wife, who was crying and dying, in front of the spirit.

When the three of them saw this situation, they thought that they had always been good friends with Liu Xun, but now that Liu Xun had died, his son was still locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and there was not even a filial son at the funeral, so they couldn't help but cry out loud with sadness.

The three of them cried in front of the spirit for a while, and Liu Xun's old housekeeper came up to persuade him: "The three masters and our master have been friends for many years, and now our master has been killed by a traitor, and the remaining orphans and widows have to bother the three masters to take care of one or two for our sake, woo woo......"

After the three of them cried, they were invited to the ear room next to them to drink tea, and when everyone in Liu's mansion went out, Du Chuke asked the other two people: "Now that His Royal Highness King Wei is trapped in the East Palace, and Liu Xianggong has been raped and killed again, what should we do?"

"Humph!" Wei Ting snorted heavily, and then fell silent, obviously he was in a bad mood, but there was no way.

Cui Renshi looked at the two of them and said meaningfully: "Now it seems that we all underestimated this Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. ”

Du Chuke sighed when he heard this, thinking to himself, isn't this nonsense?

Cui Renshi looked at the two, a flash of pride flashed in his eyes, and he continued slowly: "However, it's not impossible. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince certainly had the upper hand this time, but his meanness and cruelty to the prime minister also made the officials afraid.

Didn't you see that all the officials were not talking about this matter today? Even the fiercest person who quarreled yesterday kept silent about it today. ”

"Could it be that a hundred officials can help us without saying anything?" Du Chuke said with some excitement.

Wei Ting also raised his head, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Cui Renshi glanced at the two of them, and said with an unfathomable smile on his face: "The East Palace can be said to have the upper hand this time, Your Majesty is not in Beijing because of a snow disaster, not only did he detain His Royal Highness King Wei for no reason, but the princes and ministers in the capital were all played by him, and all the generals and subordinates in the family were transferred out of Chang'an City by him, what will these people think?"

"This?"

Cui Renshi didn't wait for them to answer, and continued: "It's only been a day later, and he has forced Zaifu to death again, what do you think Your Majesty will think?"

Du Chuke already understood what he meant, so he continued: "Your Majesty will definitely not be happy to come back, but Your Majesty may not think that he has done anything wrong when he has done these things, after all, when His Majesty is cut off from the news of the capital, he can firmly grasp the capital is also what His Majesty wants to see." ”

Cui Renshi only smiled slightly when he heard this, and slowly shook his head and said: "If Your Majesty has never touched the idea of Yi Chu or Empress Wende is still there, it will naturally be fine for him to do this, maybe Your Majesty will not be able to give him some rewards if he thinks he is capable."

It's just that now we all know His Majesty's thoughts, and there is no one in the palace to return one or two for him, as long as we put pressure on it, Your Majesty will push the boat with the flow......"

"Yes, we must immediately recruit everyone to Liu Shenzheng to mourn, and those who can come will come.

Tell them that Donggong's means and mind have been seen, and if Donggong gains power, none of them can escape! When Wei Ting said a word, Cui Renshi suddenly had a feeling that someone had interrupted his sex.

Half an hour later, Liu Xun's mansion was lively, and all the party of King Wei came to mourn, and some kind neutral officials thought that the prime minister would suddenly die, and they also came to pay respects with some sadness.

These officials went back and told other officials: Liu Yiling didn't even have a filial son in front of him, and everyone felt that a prime minister had ended up in such a bleak situation, which aroused some sympathy and some came to worship because of this.

In the afternoon, news came out that the snow on the road from Chang'an City to Lishan had been cleared, and Li Shimin would drive back to the palace tomorrow afternoon.

The carriages and horses that went to Liu's Mansion to mourn formed a long queue in front of Liu's Mansion all of a sudden, and the carriages and horses in front of Liu's Mansion began to flow until late at night.

But all the people who came to Liu's mansion to mourn never mentioned the cause of Liu Xun's death and Liu Xun's son Liu Yuan, and of course no one dared to do anything related to the East Palace.

The affairs of Liu Xun's family, Li Chengqian knows everything clearly.

As soon as I heard that Du Chuke and the three of them went to Liu's Mansion to mourn, I knew from Li Chengqian's experience in watching TV dramas and novels in his previous life that they would definitely make a fuss about the dead.

But these predecessors have too much experience, Li Chengqian sneered in his heart, originally Liu Xun wanted to let him go when he died, since you dare to make a fuss about the dead, then I will let the dead people be convicted.

After making arrangements, Li Chengqian went to direct the disaster victims to save themselves.

But Wei Zheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, was very angry, what kind of thing was he? Although Liu Xun is dead, I am also dying, and I am much stronger than him, so I have to have someone to see me when I am dying.

As a result, most of the officials in Chang'an City received Wei Zheng's invitation, which was different from the normal invitation.

Because his reasons are too strange, people have birthdays, get married, become a sergeant, be promoted, and have children to invite guests to dinner.

Wei Zheng's invitation is because I am dying, so I invite guests to dinner, not only to invite guests to dinner, but also to watch the newly rehearsed play "Renshou Palace".

This is the last time Wei Zheng invited me to dinner, if you don't come, you will look down on me, and you should not come if I die.

With Wei Zheng's status in the Zhen Dynasty and Li Shimin's trust in him, who dared not to come to him for such a treat, and all those who received the invitation promised to go to the banquet on time tomorrow night.

Wei Zheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, also showed a smug smile on his thin old face after hearing the news.
