Chapter 252: The Trial of a Generation of Demon Monks
Who is Falla?
Speaking of this, the history books sent him to set up a biography. In the early Tang Dynasty history of www.biquge.info Buddhism, he is also the number one person. Just imagine, the past dynasties can enter and exit the palace and get the mutual trust of the emperor and the crown prince, how many people like this outsider? In particular, during Li Yuan's reign, he also specialized in the sand of monks and strictly controlled the number of monks.
Unfortunately, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, who was originally very optimistic, eventually failed in the battle for the throne. And Li Yuan quickly gave way to Li Shimin. For Buddhism, Li Shimin did not believe in it as firmly as Li Jiancheng. What's more, a monk like Falla, who had nothing to do with him in the first place, naturally he would not be polite.
Therefore, Falla suddenly became a lonely monk in the temple from a VIP in the palace.
Originally, if they fooled Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, they could often get a lot of rewards. And the ban on entering and leaving the palace also makes him quite prestigious among his peers. Li Shimin came to such a hand, which naturally made him lose everything he originally had.
Falling from the sky to the ground, how could Falla not hate Li Shimin under such a gap. It just so happened that Li Yuan was still alive, and Falla also had a different mind, wanting to take advantage of Li Shimin's unclear path to the throne and do something to see if he could get huge benefits. Out of the psychology of a gambler, Falla quickly concocted a lie that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
Not to mention, this set has really fooled a lot of believers. It is the individual princes and nobles in the capital, who have been fooled by Falla.
With such a mass base, Falla's mind became more and more active. It's just a few words of rebellion from time to time, and because of natural disasters in the past two years, Falla directly put his hat on Li Shimin's head. It is rumored that Li Er killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate the throne, so he was sent a disaster by heaven. This version of the rumor was the handiwork of Falla.
The origin of the throne has always been a taboo for Li Shimin, even his close ministers dare not mention this matter. Originally, if Falla had been more stable, Li Shimin would have spared his life. But now that he has taken the initiative to jump out and die, Li Eryan, who is ruthless, can let go of a monkey like him. Not only can't he let it go, Li Er also wants to dig deeper. Let Du Ruhui try the history of assassination, which is the reason.
Luo Yan, who returned home, had all the dossiers about Falla in hand, which he had specifically found Du Ruhui to come to. Although I don't know why Li Shimin wants to let himself get involved in this matter, since he has reluctantly accepted it, it is better to understand it well, and it will save time to catch blindness.
After reading Falla's entire case file, Luo Yan's feeling was even more strange.
There are already detailed regulations in the "Law of Martial Virtues", but all monks who pretend to be reincarnated by gods and Buddhas will be confiscated from the monks. And such as Faya, who talks about the government and plots against him, can directly kill him. Li Shimin's intentions, although Luo Yan guessed a little, but until now, he just contacted the history books to see a Pei Lone's fall.
Is there anything you don't know? After thinking about it for a long time and not figuring it out, Luo Yan could only throw down the file and do other things.
Early the next morning, with a stomach full of doubts, Luo Yan found Du Ruhui.
"Du Gong, I read the file yesterday, and there are a few things in the kid's heart that I don't understand. I don't know when it will be convenient for Du Gong, so I can let the kid ask for advice. "If you can't think clearly, then come and ask an old oilman in officialdom like Du Ruhui directly. This has always been Li Shimin's most iron-clad confidant, and Falla's case was taken over by him from the beginning. So for this reason, instead of guessing there yourself, it is better to ask him directly.
Smiling happily, Du Ruhui asked Luo Yan to sit down, and then said, "If there is anything, just ask." As long as you can know, I will never hide it. ”
Luo Yan immediately heard that something was wrong. What does it mean to be able to know, doesn't this mean that there are a lot of things in it, but now you can only know the most superficial part.
I was a little depressed in my heart, but soon Luo Yan cheered up. There is a way to die in officialdom, called you know too much. Luo Yan naturally knows a lot, but no matter what, it is best to know a little less. But now that the question has been asked, there is still something to ask. Luo Yan will naturally grasp the proportions in it.
"Since Falla's crime is so clear, why not just condemn him? Is there something tangled up in it? Pretending to be a new one, Luo Yan brought the most idiotic question to the table.
"Well, according to secret reports, Falla has a lot of followers. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't hide behind the scenes and dictate what they do. What's more, he is also involved with King Xi. In order to ensure social stability, this kind of matter is naturally handled with great caution. If we can get the relevant person out of his mouth, we can also make some preparations as soon as possible. ”
Luo Yan knew that there was something going on here, but since Du Ruhui said so, then take it seriously. Since Du Ruyan was secretive, Luo Yan stopped asking no more. This made Du Ruhui surprised for a while, and the kid Luo Yan was really treacherous. Obviously, there are many questions, and the partial students will stop there, and there is no curiosity that young people should have.
But now that Luo Yan is here, it's time for a trial that has dragged on for several days. After such a long time, it was time for Falla to ask again.
The trial was held in secret in the Dali Temple. The slightly dimly lit lobby was lined with torture instruments on either side of the wall. Because of the light, Luo Yan seemed to be able to see the black-brown blood stains on some of the torture instruments. As for those boning ox ear knives, iron drills, and iron needles, they were wiped one by one with bright light.
Even if Luo Yan was not a criminal, he was a little frightened when he walked into the lobby.
Fantasizing about the scene of these torture instruments falling on himself, Luo Yan suddenly felt that his whole body hurt. It didn't take long for a cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
"It's a murderous place." Luo Yan, who came back to his senses, sighed with emotion, and did not hide his horror at all. Then he turned his gaze to Du Ruhui and said, "In such a place, even if it is a fierce person, after coming in, he will be frightened and unsettled. This Faya is also very powerful, he has been staying up for so long, and he hasn't completely explained the matter clearly. ”
Du Ruhui estimated that he had stayed here for a long time, and he didn't mean to be timid at all, and after listening to Luo Yan's words, he said with a smile: "Do you know that since the founding of the country, it has only been used three or four times. If it weren't for the fact that Falla was too involved, His Majesty would not have activated it. It's just that as you said, this Faya is really powerful, every time he comes up, he has to be punished, and every time he says something, he doesn't say more. ”
Du Ruhui sat on the main seat, and Luo Yan sat down under him. In a few moments, a few thousand cattle were ready to pull Falla up.
Faya's cyan monk's robe at this time was already in tatters. The scratches on the already inferior linen clothes were made by some kind of torture instrument, resulting in a pair that looked like several strips of cloth connected together. And these many strips of cloth are also covered with mottled bloodstains.
Unlike the blurred black-brown on the torture instruments on the wall, the clothes were reddish-brown. At a glance, it can be seen that this is the result of a large number of punishments. Since Luo Yan was a child, he has seen many dead people, but it is really the first time he has seen such a miserable living person.
In all fairness, none of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield gave Luo Yan such a feeling.
However, although Falla suffered many punishments, it was strange that man was not too weak. On the contrary, at this moment, Luo Yan could still see the rosy on his face. This made Luo Yan a little surprised.
It doesn't matter if it's not enough, because then Luo Yan heard Du Ruhui drink: "What made you think about the other day, how did you think?" If you don't explain who is involved in this matter, then you will still have to be punished. ”
Well, torture is a common method used in trials these days.
Falla seemed to have been tortured enough, laughed miserably, and said, "After the punishment, you will pour me with a great tonic decoction. So repeatedly, what can I hide? Well, if you want to know something, just ask. These days, I have also figured out that it is better to die than to live like this, and it is better to be liberated as soon as possible. ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Yan understood why Falla seemed to have been tortured a lot, but his body was still able to hold on. When the emotional torture is enough, give the medicine, and continue the torture when it looks almost good. This is simply a double destruction of body and spirit.
Then he stared at Du Ruhui again, and when he saw him nodding there, he was even more helpless. Co-authored, I used to be confused by history books and appearances. Who said that a famous minister must be a good person, and Du Ruhui did not have any mercy when such a bad trick was used.
"In that case, who was present when you spoke rebellious words and spread taboos last time, and who agreed with you?" Du Ruhui scared Luo Yan into making no moves. Originally, I wanted to know as little as possible, but now it seems that I still can't escape the most important thing.
Falla pondered for a while, sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at Du Ruhui and said, "I answered this question, let me live and die in peace." Don't ask me anything, you ask, and I can't tell. There seemed to be some pleading in his voice.
"Yes. However, you have to make it clear. ”
"When I first spoke falsely, it was in the Commonwealth. At that time, I was invited to chant and pray for blessings, and the two of us talked about the current government politics in our spare time. Because I was favored by the Emperor Taishang and King Xi at the beginning, but since last year, the scenery is no longer good, and I am unhappy for a while, so I confide in my dissatisfaction. Just when Sikong heard it, he was shocked and just asked me not to mention it again. Originally, I thought he would escort me to the Criminal Department, but I didn't expect that this matter would be settled later. ”
The words were rather vague, but when they were finished, Falla stopped talking.
Du Ruhui asked the clerk next to him: "Have you written down what he said?" ”
I saw that the scribe trembled and recorded what Faya had just said, and then replied: "What the demon monk said just now, word for word, has written it down, and asked Du Xiang to check." Then he handed over the pieces of paper and stood down with a little trembling. (To be continued.) )
