Chapter 723: Good and Evil Will Be Rewarded in the End
Chapter 723: Good and evil will be rewarded in the end
Being able to become a great Zongzheng is something that Li Yuanjia, the king of Han who returned to Luoyang with trepidation before, did not expect at all.
Don't look at the fact that after he received Li Xian's letter, he scolded at home in the dark, but since he is a virtuous king, at least his brain is still there when he is old, so as soon as he said the angry words of sending troops, he could only accept the fact that he had to swallow his anger - after all, the matter was done by people who were not thoughtful at the beginning, and now he has no choice but to take responsibility. At least, his nephew didn't plan to fight him directly, did he?
And when he arrived in Luoyang, not only did he not blame the past, but after receiving him three times and twice, he even faintly hinted that he, the virtuous king, was the leader of the royal clan now, and he was naturally even happier. When Da Zongzheng's position arrived, he was already over sixty years old, as if he had rejuvenated his second youth, and he was full of breath in his heart.
In a place like Luoyang, it's not just a prince's fart, if he can have the support of Li Xian as the prince, who else will he be afraid of? And the two sons who came with him this time were also full of excitement, and they were bent on pushing him and Li Xian to get closer, which also made him more determined.
Those who know the times are Junjie, although this is Li Tang's country, but he has now fully realized that he has no possibility of sitting on the country, and it is impossible to even hold power in his hands that he once dreamed of, so it is the best choice to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take his whole family to Luoyang, and then personally sent his two young sons to the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, becoming the fastest prince after Li Ming, the king of Cao.
Although the main body of the Great Sect is the highest body in charge of the imperial family, there is nothing wrong with it in the past. Even so, early in the morning of this day, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, came here to look at things. He doesn't expect the new official to take office with three fires, but the existing rules must be declared to his subordinates. It is also necessary for people to recognise his integrity. When someone from outside came to report, it was said that Jin Wuwei had been ordered to send a total of more than a dozen people from King Yu, King Jiang, King Teng and several heirs. He didn't feel a little baffled.
But this inexplicability quickly turned into inexplicable anger. Looking at the shouting and complaining in front of him, he almost knocked off the roof of his brother and nephews, and he almost wanted to kick them all over one by one. That day, when the people in the main hall impeached King Yu, he also helped to say a few good words in the spirit of brotherhood, but these guys were so ignorant!
Revenge can be done in private. Is it so blatant? That's not all, Jin Wuwei should have retreated after he was dispatched, and he dared to resist arrest blatantly, and even a stupid guy dared to use a knife! I know this, and I can justify it, but I got carried away and wanted to teach that damn imperial history a lesson. If you don't know the ......
That's a great crime to murder the prince! As long as a big hat of rebellion is buttoned down. That's a dead end!
At this moment, he looked at these people in front of him almost with a dead man's gaze, and an inexplicable lament sounded in his heart. But soon, this slightly pitiful lament was suppressed by a spontaneous ferocity. This is in Luoyang, the actual imperial capital today, not in some small place in the middle of nowhere. Things are so uproarious that it is impossible to suppress them. And the reason why they sent people directly to Dazong Zhengji and left without even saying a word of explanation was Li Xian's idea.
Is it to see if he, the new great Zongzheng, is "impartial"?
Han Wang Li Yuanjia sneered, and immediately slapped the table hard. At this time. The grumbling, grumbling and scolding voices of the people below gradually subsided. When his voice completely disappeared, he shouted in a deep voice:
"Ignoring Tang Law and beating the minister, this is a felony, and you still don't know how to repent? What else do you say that people deserve to be wronged by themselves, and you are all hopeless! Come. The kings of Yu, Jiang, and Teng were respectively detained. And the one who used the knife, and the others also found a room for me to lock up. I'll go into the palace now to see Your Majesty! ”
As soon as he said this, a group of people were stunned, and the three princes who were now the most respected in their generations never expected their brother to say such a thing, and after the other heirs looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel that things seemed to be different from what they imagined. When they saw a group of officials with big shoulders and big waists, five big waists and three thick waists, come up to salute, everyone panicked.
"Brother Han, we are your own brothers, how can you be so kind!"
"Isn't it just a little imperial history, what if you beat him!"
"Uncle Han, we have been calculated, how can you be so indiscriminate!"
Recognizing the last sentence in the messy voice, Han King Li Yuanjia's heart suddenly became angry. Now do you know that it was calculated? It's late! He waved his hand impatiently, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart as he watched a group of officials forcibly drag down a group of honorable royal clans.
Looking at this, these people can't be saved, and since Li Xian has come forward, he clearly doesn't want anyone to protect them. He doesn't care what people say to protect his life, but there is one thing to consider, is this just killing chickens and monkeys, or are they ready to purge them all in batches? If it's the latter, then he has to be careful, don't end up being a cunning rabbit and a lackey, it won't be worth it!
Li Xian waited in the East Palace for an hour before waiting for King Han. Seeing that this uncle was sweating profusely and his face was anxious, and he learned that the other party had come to him first, he was naturally extremely satisfied. He is not a gentleman, and revenge does not necessarily have to kill people, isn't it good to get people to help him deal with trouble and carry the black pot by the way?
Therefore, in the face of Han King Li Yuanjiacheng's fearful apology, he unusually politely and warmly helped the other party up, and personally made tea on the stove to treat each other.
This time, he simply opened the skylight and said bright words, and directly blamed Li Yuanjia for the previous incident, and then generously pointed out that the past things have passed, and finally vaguely showed that the reputation of the royal family is too corrupt, if it cannot be rectified, it is only afraid that the people's minds will change, and such a heavy task can only be done by a virtuous king like Li Yuanjia.
This kind of trick of tearing up the previous grievances first, and then asking for another handful by the way, he has long been perfected. Even an old Jianghu like Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, who is over sixty years old, can't help but be fooled into it - this time is not a matter of experience, but a difference in momentum and status, so it is not surprising that there is such a result.
"Therefore, King Han rest assured, the royal family is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, don't say that I don't plan to rectify it as a whole, even if I am willing, Your Majesty and my father will never allow it. A virtuous king like King Han, the court should be respectful, and it should be used, and like King Yu, King Jiang, King Teng, etc., it's not that I am disrespectful, they are too reckless, and where is the face of the court in the law of the country? ”
Li Yuanjia kept nodding, in fact, except for the kung fu of drinking tea, he kept nodding all the time, and he even had to admit that Li Xian had the art of talking - in fact, it was the art of fooling. I know that there are some inaccuracies in these words, but so what? He and King Jiang and King Teng were indeed brothers, but what benefits did he get from those three brothers? Those three mischievous guys ruined his reputation!
"Liulang, don't worry, since I am a great sect, I will definitely handle this matter impartially, and give justice to the supervising imperial history! I'm going to meet Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang now, and I guess they won't tolerate adultery! ”
Seeing this old Han Wang go out with a high spirit, Li Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If he had fallen out with King Han straightforwardly, where would it be so easy now? Once the old sage king with the largest rank in the clan and royal family is brought over, his role is really not negligible. Having said that, King Huo, who is also known as virtuous, is also staying in Luoyang now, and there seems to be no movement.
Taking a sip of tea, he couldn't help but smile. It's really too much of a conspiracy, it's good that people don't move, is he still counting on others to rebel? This is also too unkind!
Since most of the royal clans moved to Luoyang, Chang'an, the public security cases in the two places have been high, and the Luoyang Order and the Chang'an Order have been in a hurry. Therefore, when the Great Sect announced that King Yu and others would be taken into custody in the Imperial Prison, there was a place of joy from top to bottom, and even the officials applauded.
There are many people who can't be happy, such as those royal clans who have just lived and worked in Luoyang, and they inevitably have a feeling of sadness at this time. However, as long as the reputation is good, even if it is a mediocre official, there are people who come to the door to comfort and give all kinds of gadgets, and the habit of hanging high on the ground that has nothing to do with oneself gradually rises. Except for a few guys whose reputation is not good, the undercurrent in Luoyang City has gradually stopped.
As for those who were imprisoned, their families were running around begging for mercy, begging for forgiveness, and several clever heirs of the kingdom wept bitterly in the edict and vowed to change their ways.
However, the three kings, who were used to being domineering, didn't believe that they would be punished severely, so they still shouted at him in prison, and even scolded King Han when he was angry. The more short-tempered King Jiang even scolded Emperor Li Zhi and Emperor Li Hong together when a certain fire came up, of course, he scolded the most ruthlessly was the prince Li Xian, who used the words "eating people without spitting out bones" and "cunning and vicious" over and over again, and he was not too tired to panic.
And this has inevitably become one of their crimes.
When the previous crimes of King Jiang and King Teng were made public to the world one by one by the imperial court, and official documents were posted all over the place, the streets and alleys fell into a frenzy of indignation. The people originally liked to complain, but it was rare for the imperial court to allow everyone to complain, and this call suddenly rose higher and higher.
What is not as good as pigs and dogs, how can it still deserve to be honored!
