Chapter 364: A Backlash from Shilin
Li Chengqian trusts Luo Yan very much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But trust does not mean that there is no guard, on the contrary, as the heir of the emperor, the trust given to anyone is limited. said that he trusted Luo Yan, but it was better to say that he trusted Luo Yan a little more than he trusted others.
But that's just a little bit of it.
Now some of the skilled generals in Chang'an City have been taken away by Li Shimin. Although the number of the Twelve Guards and the Nanya Forbidden Army has far exceeded thirty or forty thousand, if Luo Yan really wants to do it, I am afraid that it is really difficult to say.
Li Chengqian was a little uncertain, so he had to set his sights on Du Ruhui, the three auxiliary ministers.
At this time, all three of them were groaning.
The stakes are so high that decisions cannot be made immediately.
For a long time, Li Jing stood up with great difficulty and bowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, you can rest assured." The old minister assured with this reluctant life that Chengguo Gong was definitely not that kind of person. In the past few days, I and several others have accepted banquets from some lords and ministers of the court. Is it necessary to include us in suspicion because of this? ”
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case. What's more, His Highness is a daughter, how can he be so dangerous. In my opinion, it is better to imprison Chengguo Gong and wait until His Majesty comes back to deal with it. Another minister stood up, didn't give Li Jing any face, and retorted fiercely.
At this time, Li Chengqian was completely shaken.
Just when he was about to open his mouth with difficulty to announce the order, Du Ruhui stood up, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "Your Highness does not believe in the loyalty of Chengguo Gong, or does not believe in Your Majesty's wisdom of knowing people." Or, still don't believe in my Datang's might? ”
asked three questions in a row, which actually made Li Chengqian a little speechless.
Thinking about it, Luo Yan really has a bad heart, and he can't do it. Even if thousands of noble guards want to do something, the palace walls of this Taiji Palace are high, not to mention the inner palace. And there are many palace gates outside, and it is not a place where thousands of people can do things at all.
What's more, Li Shimin is still outside, whoever wants to rebel at this time is simply brainless. Hundreds of Zhechong Mansions in Datang are placed there, even if the team of Guannei Dao is pulled up, it can turn thousands of people hundreds of times.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. I'm still too young, I've experienced too few things, and I've had even fewer things to think about. Just now, it was also because of the hints of those people step by step that he brought himself to the ditch.
While Li Chengqian was ashamed, his eyes glanced back and forth at the minister who had just spoken. Then he said: "I still believe in Cheng Guogong's personality." Since he was asked to try the case, it was natural for him to have negotiations with the families of the people involved in the case. I've heard about officialdom's requests for help, and if you want to come and do such things, don't hold on to others. ”
Li Chengqian was angry, although he didn't say anything more to investigate, but it also made these ministers feel a little weak.
After that, Li Chengqian continued: "Since the princes are not very relieved, then I will send Dai Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to try this case." ”
In this way, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to those who want to continue to say something, and at the same time secretly warning them that Dali Temple has taken over, so you should not make trouble anymore.
A court meeting rushed past in such a strange situation.
When Luo Yan received the news that he didn't have to worry about the affairs of this chivalrous society anymore, he was stunned. Originally, he just wanted to use this incident to discipline those noble children, and then apologize to the bitter master.
If he hadn't been beaten in this matter, then those second generations would have thrown some money at best, and then they would have walked out of Dali Temple safe and sound.
It's not like this hasn't happened before. The bitter lord accepted other people's money, no matter what the purpose was, as long as the money was used, even if the case was overturned at that time, people would still be fine. On the contrary, he can sue the bitter master for money extortion.
Luo Yan's previous indifferent handling of the complaint in Chang'an County was for this reason. If you really want to get entangled, the lawsuit will drag on for a year and a half, and this scholar's family will have already been ruined, and what kind of grievance will be filed.
Now that he can't intervene in this case, and the relationship between the people involved in the case is complicated, it is likely that the way to deal with it in the end is not as good as what he planned before.
Really.
Dai Xuan is a veteran of handling cases, familiar with the law, and good at dancing with long sleeves, he needs to give an explanation to the bitter master who came to complain. And this kind of thing of hurting people, in the end, really made the people of the chivalrous society pay money one by one, and then fined a few days of nominal labor.
That's the end of it.
When the law was harsh, many people complained; But when the law is relaxed, there are fewer people who complain, but those who are really hurt suffer great grievances.
For example, this book reader.
The result of Dai Xuan's handling according to the law was even a little lighter than that of Luo Yan's treatment at the beginning. Reasonableness may not be reasonable, and reasonableness may not be legal. When someone has power, even if they don't operate in the dark, what can ordinary people do?
You have a deep hatred, and you can't wait to eat the flesh and drink the blood of that enemy, but one law after another can only make the family at ease.
Luo Yan never saw what the situation of the iron-clad scholar was, because since Dai Xuan announced the results of the treatment, when Luo Yan went to look for the family again, he found that the people were gone.
I just heard that the neighbors said that this family seems to be discouraged because of this and moved to live in the mountains in other places.
For this result, what else can Luo Yan think in his heart besides anger and dissatisfaction.
The next day, a passer-by in a hurry pasted a piece of paper full of words on the door and window of the hut along the street where the scholar had lived.
The people of Chang'an, who were originally very concerned about this case, naturally would not let go of anything related. Seeing things passing by the thatched hut here, they were naturally motivated by curiosity and came to watch.
"In the seventh year of Zhenguan, it was early autumn. Chang'an has noble heirs, married into a society, called chivalrous. Headed by Liu, the son of a relative, he gathered dozens of people and beat pedestrians at every turn......"
sprinkled thousands of words, and actually wrote all the ins and outs of this chivalrous society, including some evil things he had done before. even used a large amount of pen and ink to tell in detail what happened before and after Luo Yan captured these people.
"I guess this must have been written by some official in the DPRK and China, otherwise there are many secrets here, and they would not have known so clearly."
"Otherwise, I think it was written by the bitter Lord. Do you think, who will have enough to eat and have nothing to do to find out the bottom of those people. On the contrary, there are many things in the DPRK and China, that is, we and others, as long as we have the heart, we can also ask someone to ask about it. ”
"This benevolent brother is right. I think this senior must have had the idea of burning with him, but he was afraid that his family would be affected, so he moved out in a hurry. ”
"Exactly."
Although people don't know who wrote it, it's more certain that it has a lot to do with the person who read it.
It was just one day, and many scholars who were a little unhappy about this case rushed to transcribe the article posted in front of the hut.
When they knew about this matter, although they also understood that this would definitely bring some changes to the original case, by the time they sent someone to tear up the article, the article had already spread throughout half of Chang'an.
Shilin is a strange place.
There's never a shortage of verbal collisions here. Even because of the opposition of ideas, many people have to pinch each other as soon as they meet.
But it's also a separate circle.
Brothers are outside the wall to resist their insults, which is the principle upheld by the people in Shilin. Yes, this is a matter of principle. Although the scholar who complained was nowhere to be seen, the people in Shilin began to make a fuss about this unfair judgment.
This is no longer a scholar's business, but involves the relationship between the entire noble class and Shilin.
Although many scholars in order to be able to be among the official class of the Tang Dynasty, many times will choose to serve as staff guests in the homes of these nobles. However, there is one thing that needs to be discerned, that is, as a staff member, there is a strict difference between the independence of personality and those slaves who come and go at a moment's notice.
Although the status will be transformed into the noble class, it does not mean that they will not have a position before they become conformists.
The nobility of the scholars makes them extremely important to the dignity of the entire class.
And the way Dai Xuan decided the case happened to ignore their dignity.
A day later, Lu Shengqing, a well-known scribe in Chang'an, wrote a preface to the article that was copied throughout Chang'an. The text clearly points out that although Dai Guan's judgment was in accordance with the law, it was also a blasphemy against the law. Because the impact of this chivalrous society's behavior on the whole society is extremely bad, it can no longer be handled simply as a case of wounding.
Lu Shengqing is a well-known scribe in Shilin, although he is not an official, but the imperial court has recruited him four times. The reason why he didn't go to be an official every time was because he felt that his cultivation was not enough.
Now, as soon as I stand up, someone immediately responds.
The next day, another article "The First Arrival in Chang'an" caused a big sensation. The language of the article doesn't stand out much, what really appeals is the story it tells and the people who wrote it.
This article talks about the beating of people from the Chivalrous Society when he first came to Chang'an, and the author is Wei Xuantong of Dingzhou. Isn't this the one who came out that day to stop the chivalrous club beating people, and besides, this is still Wei Zheng's clansman.
As an eyewitness to the whole incident, Wei Xuantong suddenly became famous.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and suddenly wrote poems, endowments, and legends for this matter...... But all the styles that could be used were used by the scholars.
Shilin's backlash officially brought the whole thing to a fever pitch. (To be continued.) )
