Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Captain of the State
Zhao Yong didn't hear Handan's wailing and begging for mercy from Li Rui, nor did he see him speak out to defend himself. On the contrary, seeing Li Rui bowing his head and confessing his guilt, his face was very calm. Zhao Yong turned his gaze to the ministers, most of them were beating the water dogs. Seeing such a disgusting behavior, Zhao Yong clenched his hands into fists.
Mu Jian saw that Li Rui had nothing to say, so he asked the gentleman to signal. Zhao Yong didn't want to see Li Rui, so he raised his hand. Mu Jian understood, took a step forward, and shouted, "Come on, drag him out." Locked in a dungeon and waiting for the king's fate. ”
Li Rui has lived in Handan Ling for more than ten years, and her relationship network is intertwined. Almost all the people in the temple have benefited from him. In order to have a smooth career, Li Rui also took the initiative to get acquainted with people in the court. Even if a dignitary in the court violated Zhao Law, he would turn a blind eye and give favors. At this moment, in the hands of Zhao Jun, it is difficult to live alone. Li Rui could have used the connections he had accumulated over the years and the evidence he had hidden in his hands to blackmail them and plead for himself. However, he chose to remain silent. No one knows, and no one knows, what he is thinking at the moment.
Perhaps, he was a clever man who knew how to be more effective on such occasions than not to say it.
Zhao Yong originally wanted to take Li Rui as an opportunity to rectify the rule of officials and open a breakthrough. Li Rui is better to bow down and confess her guilt, and she will not excuse herself or involve others. Zhao Yong had to temporarily change the original plan.
Everyone watched as Li Rui was dragged out by the guards. As Li Rui's figure disappeared into the main hall, their restless hearts were finally calm. There was luck in everyone's hearts, and they also admired Li Rui's personality, and said: "Li Rui, it's really interesting, he is a man." ”
These people didn't know that they chose to protect themselves and abandon Li Rui. If not, they will also be regarded as outcasts. However, they didn't expect that Li Rui's imprisonment was not the end, but the beginning. This storm has not become calm because of Li Rui's departure.
After all, Zhao Bao and Li Rui have been colleagues for many years, looking at his lonely figure when he was dragged out, he couldn't bear to say in his heart: "Your Excellency, what do you want to do with the sinner Li Xiang." ”
Zhao Yong paused, did not answer his words, but turned to the great priest Gongzi Cheng, and said: "Uncle is the chief of the priest, and you know more about punishment than a widow." Li Rui's son committed murder, bullied the good, encroached on the good land, and the evil deeds were notorious, according to Zhao Law, how should the widow be dealt with. ”
Gongzi Cheng was scheming, the meaning of Zhao Jun's words. It turned out that Zhao Jun was obviously asking him Zhao Lu, but in fact, he was telling everyone that it was Zhao Jun's intention to deal with Li Rui tightly, and Gongzi Cheng was also involved. Gongzicheng, I didn't expect the king to suddenly come to this move, which caught him off guard. Gongzicheng made a timely response, and Zhengse said: "According to Zhao Law, Li Rui has committed a serious crime, and he should be dismissed from his official position, expelled from Handan, and never hired." ”
Li Rui has committed so many crimes, and it is not enough to kill a few times. Gongzicheng came to the conclusion that he was dismissed from office and expelled from Handan. This kind of punishment is too light. However, some people don't want Li Rui to live. Especially those who have the handle in Li Rui's hands, they can't wait to execute him immediately, and they all say with righteous indignation: "Li Rui is a heinous crime, and he should be beheaded to warn future generations." ”
"Yes, yes. If such scum does not come out, what is the reason of heaven. The law of Zhao State, where is it. ”
"Kill him, and give me a good place."
Gongzi Cheng snorted and let out a heavy breath, with a look of disdain on his face, and secretly scolded: "These fools." Keeping Li Rui is equivalent to saving yourself. Falling into a well at this time is tantamount to burying disaster for yourself in the future. ”
Zhao Yong also knew that these people were not sincere for the country. The secrets of these people fell into Li Rui's hands. Li Rui, if they don't die for a day, they won't be at peace for a day. Zhao Jun offered Li Rui attractive conditions. In order to reduce the guilt, Li Rui may open his mouth to bite them. If Li Rui also recruits their crimes, Zhao Jun orders someone to investigate them, and a large number of people here will fall. For them, only by keeping Li Rui silent forever can they sit back and relax.
Zhao Yong understands the minds of these people, and after planning for so long, how can he give up halfway. Li Rui was unwilling to open the deadlock for him, so his stone-throwing and asking for directions also played a certain role. Zhao Yong raised his hands and high-fived him three times. Applause echoed in every corner of the hall. Six chamberlains carried out three chests and placed them in the main hall. The ministers looked horrified, could it be that this matter was not completely over. The ministers looked worried, wondering in their hearts who would be the next target of this teenager's punishment.
Zhao Yong ordered someone to open the box in front of them and asked, "How to deal with these people, please teach me." ”
Facing these three boxes, Tian Buli showed a smug gaze. In order to implement the new policy and realize the ambition of Zhao Jun. In order to collect evidence of the crimes committed by the ministers, he worked tirelessly for a month. Li Dui was just about to open his mouth to speak, but Fei Yi secretly pushed him with his elbow. Li Dui is a smart person, how can he not understand the intention of Feiyi.
Zhao Xia, seeing the things in the box, would be unfavorable to herself, quietly approached behind the national captain Zhao Yin, and whispered: "National captain, I'm afraid our affairs can't be hidden, what should we do." ”
"Don't panic." Zhao Yin, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and said softly: "I will listen to my orders and act when I see the opportunity." ”
Zhao Xia didn't have the bottom in his heart, and he didn't have the same state of mind as him, so he said anxiously: "The contents of the box are extremely unfavorable to us. Zhao Jun learned..."
Zhao Yin glared at him and motioned for him not to panic. Zhao Xia swallowed the words that had not yet been prominent.
"Young people, when you encounter something, you must first learn to negotiate, how can you panic, it's a shame!" Zhao Yin, trying to appease Zhao Xia, glanced at Zhao Yong with the rest of his gaze, and said contemptuously: "With me here, what are you afraid of." The ancestors are still here, and I still have some concerns in my heart. This kid can help me. ”
Zhao Xia settled down, glanced at the king, and prayed in her heart: "I hope so." ”
Zhao Yong, pointing to the three boxes placed in front of the ministers, asked Zhao Yin, "Captain, do you have anything you want to say to the widow?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yin became a bright landscape, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Yin's heart is like a mirror, and the disposal of Handan Ling is just a small test for Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun, the person he really wants to deal with is him. Fortunately, Zhao Yin has been in the palace for a long time, and he has seen a lot of big scenes, which has also allowed him to practice the ability to deal with things without being surprised, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to say." ”
Zhao Yin can maintain his composure in this atmosphere, which is something Zhao Yong wants to learn.
Zhao Yong, who didn't expect to take him down so easily, said coldly: "You are guilty." ”
"What a sin I have?" Zhao Yin's eyes moved lightly, his face was as calm as water, and he sighed: "Your Majesty, if you want to deal with me, why bother. It will suffice to place me on one charge. ”
Zhao Yin seemed to convey to the courtiers that he was not guilty, and at the same time, he also expressed to them that the king was suspected of crueltying important ministers. Fortunately, Zhao Yong was prepared, and he counted his crimes in front of everyone, and said word by word: "You took advantage of the national crisis to make a lot of hard-won wealth and put the country in danger, and your crime is unforgivable." ”
Zhao Yin understated it and said with a smile: "The country is in danger, but I have done a lot of work." However, it was just conniving at his subordinates and robbing some property. Your Majesty, is it necessary to punish me for those lowly people? ”
Zhao Yong, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, said: "If you make a fortune, your conscience will not be condemned." ”
"Conscience?" Zhao Yin laughed loudly and said wildly: "If there is such a thing, Ji Zhou Tianxia will not be uneven." ”
"Zhao Yin, the national lieutenant, was removed from his official position and demoted to a commoner." Zhao Yong, seeing that he finally showed his true face, got up and walked a few steps forward, and said in a cold voice: "If you are assigned to replace the land, you will not be allowed to set foot in Handan for the rest of your life." ”
"If you distribute the land, you will not be allowed to set foot in Handan for life." Zhao Yin would rather die than go to the land of the Northern Cold, "If the ancestor is here, I still have some concerns." The ancestor is gone. Shaft, what can you do to me. ”
Zhao Yin's cold gaze, like a sharp sword, forced him to look at Zhao Yong, and said fiercely: "What can you do to me." ”
Zhao Bao reprimanded: "Captain, you have committed a serious crime, and you should not apologize to the king quickly." Please, your grace. You... What do you want to do. ”
"What do I want to do?" Zhao Yin laughed loudly. Isn't what he wants to do obvious enough? Zhao Yin can't figure it out, a smart person would ask such meaningless words. didn't want to say more to him at the moment, and sneered at Zhao Yong: "Your Majesty, I admit the crime you said." However, there are many more sins, I would add. ”
"Treason." Zhao Yin faced the courtiers, deliberately raised his voice, as if this was his honor, so that everyone could hear it, and said: "If Wei Pop Lao'er is determined to kill Zhao, today, you can sit in a high position and count my crimes." ”
"Today, the person in this position should be me, it's me."
Gongzi Cheng said angrily: "Captain, you can't go crazy." ”
"yes, I'm crazy." Zhao Yin turned around, stared at Gongzi Cheng viciously, and continued: "As the younger brother of the ancestors, you are in a high position. But if there is a little bit of blood and bones, how can he obey the orders of the yellow-mouthed child. Great Priest, what you did made me feel chilled. ”
Gongzi Cheng boasted that he had read countless people, and the city was very deep. However, compared to Zhao Yin, it is simply not a rank. He vaguely remembered that the national lieutenant was an honest and amicable elder. Now, Zhao Yin's true face shattered his heart.
The image of the national lieutenant to everyone is that he is loyal and honest, treats people well and is friendly, and never fights with others. However, today in front of the palace gate, there was a quarrel with Tu Duwei over a trivial matter, and his words were fierce. At this moment, Zhao Bao suddenly realized that the national lieutenant unloaded his sword and intended to quarrel with Tu Duwei. In fact, it is to tell the people in the secret to prepare.
At this moment, Zhao Yin showed his sharp fangs, should he... Zhao Bao didn't dare to continue to think about it.
Zhao Yong, looking at Zhao Yin, said in his heart: "Father Jun often said that the enemy who can be seen is not terrible. Terrible, the invisible enemy. ”
"It turns out that this is your true face", Gongzi Cheng snorted coldly, faced him, and said: "Sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman." You want our uncle and nephew to fight, and you can sit back and enjoy it. ”
"Clever." Zhao Yin made a beautiful gesture, looked into his eyes, and said with regret on his face: "It's a pity, you let me down." Otherwise, where would there be today? ”
"Come on, don't you take down the arrogant people for me soon." Gongzi Cheng shouted towards the outside of the hall. After not seeing anyone come in for a long time, Gongzicheng shouted again: "Someone." ”
"Great Priest, why didn't anyone listen to you?" Zhao Yin listened with pricked up ears and said with a smile: "By the way, I forgot to explain." I have bought many soldiers and horses, and made many sharp blades. ”
"I've taken great pains to make these things for myself. Every day is a day of fear and fear. ”
"Whoever commits a rebellion will be punished by all." In the temple, someone shouted.
Zhao Yin glanced at the man, tried to recall, and said, "Hmph, you kid, you have done a lot of work to collect evidence of my crimes!" I think you're a talent, so follow me! I will spare you from death. ”
Tian Buli, turned his head, and said disdainfully: "You still kill me!" ”
"Spine... Wait a minute, I'll leave you a whole corpse. Zhao Yin faced everyone and gave an ultimatum, he didn't want to bother to say more, so as not to change later, his face suddenly showed a murderous aura, and said: "Those who follow me... Live. Those who disobey me... Die. ”
