Chapter 184: The prince violates the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime
The forbidden army ran over to protect the Empress Dowager Dong, but Liu Fan was not afraid.
He also said righteously: "If the prince violates the law, he will be punished like the people, not to mention the nurse of the Son of Heaven, as a hussar general, I should be the master of the people, and no criminal will be allowed to go unpunished." It is necessary to know that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by the nest of ants, and the room of a hundred feet is burned with the smoke of a breakthrough. ”
The devil is in the details. Lao Tzu once said that the difficult things in the world must be done easily; The big things in the world must be done in detail.
A drop of water can see the sun, and a glimpse can see the whole leopard. Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big; The sea does not choose a trickle, so it can be as deep as it is.
The sword pointed at the queen mother, and no one felt that he was guilty of the following crimes. Because Liu Fan wants to defend the decree in his mind.
When the law is changed, the law is still important, and once you lose your trust, you will lose everything.
There was also a great commotion among the people, not because they were afraid of the assassination of the Queen Mother, but because they were afraid that Liu Fan would be in danger.
Whoever is not afraid of the powerful, who is the master of the people, the people will support him. Liu Fan dared to draw his sword for the sake of the decree, this is a real man with lofty ideals.
Empress Dowager Dong felt that she had suffered a great humiliation, and her face turned purple with anger, and her whole body trembled.
Mrs. Cheng's death did not make Empress Dowager Dong feel like a knife, but in the eyes of these ten thousand people, she lost so much face, how could she swallow this evil breath.
"Come on, arrest Liu Fan, how Mrs. Cheng dies, he will die." Empress Dowager Dong calmed down and ordered the guard.
"The Queen Mother, the hussar general is His Majesty's personal title, the commander-in-chief of the hundred officials, and the record of Shangshu. What right do you have to give the hussar general death? Even if His Majesty wants to remove the hussar general from the post of officer, he must be approved by the hundred officials in the court meeting, why should you? Chen Tan stood up and said angrily.
The Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty held the most power in all dynasties.
Gaozu's wife Lu Pheasant, Emperor Wen's mother Liu Heng's mother Bo Ji, Emperor Jing's mother Dou Yifang, Emperor Wu's mother Wang Huan, Huo Guang's granddaughter Empress Dowager Shangguan, Wang Mang's aunt Wang Zhengjun, Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Empress Deng Sui, Hengdi Empress Dou Miao, etc.
But the Empress Dowager Dong is nothing compared to those strange people above. When the Son of Heaven is in power, he must return to power, and the country is headed by the king.
While Chen Tan was speaking, Liu Fan's personal guards had already come to Liu Fan's rear under the leadership of Zhao Ji.
Liu Fan's personal guards are all selected from the elite, if they really fight, the same number of guards and forbidden troops will definitely not be the opponent of Liu Fan's personal guards.
After receiving the order from the Empress Dowager Dong, the guard did not leave immediately. Instead, more people were summoned to protect the Empress Dowager Dong. If he really fights, he will not be able to escape the blame.
"The world is the Liu family, and the hussar general is also the younger brother of His Majesty, and before the Queen Mother gives this order, Her Majesty needs to be clarified." Liu Kuan also stood up and questioned Empress Dowager Dong.
Liu Kuan, together with Yang Ci and Zhang Ji, taught Liu Hong to study in Huaguangdian and became the emperor's teacher. It's a pity that Zhang Ji died of illness two months ago.
"Hehe, I heard that when the hussar general was still white, he took in the murderous fugitive Guan Yu, and he didn't take the court into account at all, and now he has become a hussar general, and he is still a scholar, why don't you go to the queen mother because of these little things." Pan Yin asked Liu Fan with a sneer.
"It is precisely because I became a hussar general and recorded Shangshu that I should be strict with myself and strictly enforce the law, and I should not do things like civilians in the past. You're right? Liu Fan replied to Pan Yin with a smile.
Liu Fan is not afraid that they will impeach Guan Yu, because Guan Yu has repeatedly made meritorious contributions and outstanding meritorious deeds, and he has already been able to redeem his merits. Besides, Guan Yu killed the powerful and bullied, and Liu Fan used people to be worthy of his heart.
Empress Dowager Dong knew that she was wrong, but she was still angry. Without this breath, she panicked in her heart.
She didn't care about arguing with Liu Fan here, turned the head of the car, and went straight to the palace.
"General, in such a situation, it won't be long before Your Majesty arrives. How to deal with it? Xun You stepped forward and said to Liu Fan.
This incident not only attracted the Queen Mother, but also attracted many princes and ministers. Some sighed, others almost danced.
"The princes will go back to their respective mansions and persuade His Majesty to change the law, and the matter will be handed over to the people." Liu Fan turned around and said to the ministers.
"This is urgent. If we abandon the hussar general, tomorrow when the court meets, the hussar general will lose his official position, or even be angry. We should go together to meet Your Majesty and make him feel good. Chen Tan said heavily.
"Your Majesty and we all understand that persuasion by everyone together is tantamount to putting out a fire with a negative salary and raising the soup to stop the boiling. To no avail! Listen to me, I will persuade Your Majesty to change the law, if I die, I can eliminate the shame of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, I wish! Only look at the princes. Liu Fan saluted the ministers, and then quickly stepped off the execution platform. Xun You, Yang Xu, Zhang Jun and other hussar generals' officials followed behind.
Zhao Ji followed with his personal guards.
"Hussar General......
At this moment, a mournful voice shouted.
Liu Fan turned around, only to see Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi pout, kneeling on the ground, and bursting into tears.
If he is as fair and strict as a hussar general, and is not afraid of power? How could there be princes and ministers in Luoyang City who would dare to commit crimes?
In the final analysis, he is not tough enough, so that the royal relatives, princes and nobles do not take him seriously.
For a moment, Zhou Yi felt that he had eaten Junlu in vain and was a minister in vain.
"The Yellow River is clear, is it difficult?"
Liu Fan said a word and strode away.
All the ministers wept and were heartbroken.
The people gave way and cheered, because Liu Fan really did the prince break the law, and the common people were guilty of the same crime.
When he was so embattled, Liu Fan smiled and waved.
……
Empress Dowager Dong drove straight to the palace, but when she didn't arrive at the palace, she met Liu Hong's dragon chariot honor guard.
"Emperor, your nurse Mrs. Cheng was hanged by Liu Fan on the execution ground, and her death was miserable. I reasoned with him, and he also drew his sword against each other, completely ignoring my mother and son. ”
When Empress Dowager Dong saw Liu Hong, she cried and made trouble again, so she had to let Liu Hong kill Liu Fan and let him out of this evil breath.
After Liu Hong heard the cry of the Empress Dowager Dong, he couldn't help but be angry.
Throwing the cup today, he didn't blame Liu Fan in the slightest, and he had to kill the nurse who had taken care of him for decades, and drew a sword to threaten his mother, didn't he take him seriously?
"Your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, hearing is false, and seeing is believing." Xu Yong, the left supervisor of Yulin beside Liu Hong, stepped forward and whispered to Liu Hong.
Xu Yong once advised Liu Hong to redress the unjust case of Empress Song and Liu Hui, but it was not accepted. He is also an upright person buried in the long river of history.
Liu Hong must have thought of what he said when he met Liu Fan.
Every move shows respect and dedication to the Han family. How can you make a transgressive move for no reason?
"Queen Mother, you go back to the palace to rest first, and the sons will personally go to the Hussar General's Mansion to seek justice for you." Liu Hong persuaded the Empress Dowager Dong.
"Mrs. Cheng has been with our mother and son for more than 30 years, what is wrong with her? has been so poisoned, you must seek justice for her. It is best to catch Liu Fan in Yongle Palace and beat him to death with a stick in front of me. Empress Dowager Dong said sternly.
