Chapter 863 Cai State Envoy
When he was in love with Wang Lunyue, it was easier for Lin Feng to calm down, like a tiger with his minions put away, lying horizontally in the cave, enjoying the silence after hunting.
For two consecutive days, he accompanied Wang Lunyue in the palace, and the two were just like newlyweds, and they seemed to have endless love words and endless things, which aroused the envy of the concubines in the palace.
At this time, Lin Feng did not ignore Tuoba Yu'er, who dared to enter the palace, the relationship between the two had just stabilized, he would not like the new and hate the old, nor would he favor one over the other.
Deliberately accompanied Wang Lunyue while taking time to accompany Tuoba Yuer to play in Yan Palace, familiarize herself with the environment, and adapt to her new life.
The love of children is long, and it did not destroy Lin Feng's morale.
He has not forgotten the affairs of the court, let alone Liu Xuanyuan.
On the second day after returning to Beijing, in the warm pavilion, when discussing with the ministers, he began to instruct the criminal department to interrogate Liu Xuanyuan, Zhao Shide and others.
In addition, the princes hunted the country, and the forces of all sides almost all remained silent.
At this moment, the northern and southern parties, Chen and Song are fighting, Cai Chu is fighting, and the rest of the parties are secretly gathering strength.
Once you're ready to have full wings, take advantage of the right time to fight again.
In this case, Lin Feng's life seems to have entered a period of calm, and it is rare to have time to calm down.
Deal with government affairs and arrange long-term plans!
However, at this moment, Situ, who was in charge of interrogating Liu Xuanyuan's case, became anxious and irritable.
Because he is proficient in laws and regulations, Situ knows very well how to deal with Liu Xuanyuan's crimes, according to his temper and ideas, Liu Xuanyuan's public rebellion is a heinous crime, raiding his family and exterminating the nine clans, and Ling Chi is executed, and there is no need for interrogation at all.
After all, Liu Xuanyuan's crime was too harmful to Dayan, and everyone was punished.
It's a pity that the court is a big dye vat, mixed with fish and dragons, and all forces exist with each other, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.
If Liu Xuanyuan and the rebellious family are killed, there must be evidence, posted everywhere in the city gate, and the people must be notified before they can be disposed of.
In his eyes, collecting evidence should have been very simple, and to put it bluntly, it was effortless.
However, during the interrogation, things did not develop according to his imagination, but on the contrary, there were still small deviations, which annoyed Situ.
Liu Chengfeng once served as the secretary of the Criminal Department for a long time, although he did not charge the Criminal Department, but the officials of the Criminal Department were more or less promoted by him, and many people were favored by Liu Chengfeng at the beginning.
It stands to reason that Liu Chengfeng rebelled and died, and Liu Xuanyuan was about to be interrogated and beheaded, so they should dissociate themselves from the Liu family.
However, these literati were grateful to Liu Chengfeng, and when Situ interrogated Liu Xuanyuan, not only did they not actively search for evidence and convict Liu Xuanyuan, but on the contrary, they resisted and did not cooperate with Situ.
Situ, as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is in charge of the promotion of officials in Dayan, but the officials of the Criminal Department, but he still does not cooperate, it seems that he is grateful, and he can take the head of the head.
Secretly sighing that the literati were stubborn, Situ became helpless.
The officials of the Criminal Department did not cooperate, which made him interrogate Liu Xuanyuan, which invisibly increased the difficulty a lot.
In this regard, Situ had to withstand the pressure.
He knew very well in his heart that the officials of the Criminal Department had been favored by Liu Chengfeng many times, and he did not want to interrogate Liu Xuanyuan.
But he couldn't directly behead Liu Xuanyuan, after all, this matter is related to many issues, and it must not be a child's play.
In desperation, Situ only entered the palace and reported the interrogation to Lin Feng, striving to avoid the criminal department, reorganize the officials, and interrogate.
After the report, Situ said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the officials of the Criminal Department are assisted by the Liu family and have a resistant attitude towards the interrogation of Liu Xuanyuan. ”
As an iron-blooded law enforcer, Situ is a ruthless guy, and everything is handled in accordance with the law, so when Dayan implemented the new policy, many people who obstructed the new policy died at the hands of Situ.
Now, the officials of the Criminal Department defend Liu Xuanyuan and affect government affairs, and Situ intends that after reporting to Lin Feng, the officials of the Criminal Department should be killed, punished, and will not be tolerated.
Hearing this, knowing Situ's difficulties, Lin Feng did not agree with Situ's suggestion, on the battlefield, he killed decisively, and tens of thousands of people died tragically in a battle, and he would not show mercy to his subordinates.
The court officials are different, these people are all literati, and they have no power to restrain the chicken, if the other party alone obstructs the interrogation of Liu Xuanyuan, he will go on a killing spree, wouldn't he become a murderer.
In addition to appeasing Situ, Lin Feng quickly sent Su Qin to investigate the officials of the Criminal Department in detail to prevent someone from trying to collude with Liu Chengfeng, but unfortunately, after a detailed investigation, these people had a clean background and had no evidence to prove that the officials of the Criminal Department colluded with Liu Chengfeng.
On the contrary, this group of people did not cooperate with Situ, because they were worried that interrogating Liu Xuanyuan and the heads of various families would bring serious harm to the Yan Kingdom, and they were innocent, so that Lin Feng was helpless.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng could only set up an interrogation team headed by Situ and supplemented by Su Qin and Yu Zeqiong according to Situ's proposal, and informed the people of Yanjing City that three days later, in front of Yan Palace, Liu Xuanyuan would be interrogated publicly.
exposed the crimes of Liu Xuanyuan and the Yandong family, and made the other party's crimes public, and no one could stop them.
The matter has just been dealt with, and a new problem has arisen.
Lin Feng only felt that if he rested, he would not be entangled in trivial matters, and once Lin Feng was busy, things seemed to come one after another.
As soon as Liu Xuanyuan's interrogation was decided, the envoy of Cai Guo led a delegation to Yanjing City, and quickly sent documents, hoping to meet with Lin Feng as soon as possible.
The envoy of Cai Guo sent the paperwork, for which Lin Feng did not feel too surprised, on the contrary, it seemed to be expected!
In the battle of Cai and Chu, the strength of the two sides was asymmetrical, Chu was the hegemon of the south, and the battle of the north lost 500,000 Xuanjia soldiers, and the strength was greatly weakened, but the comprehensive strength of Cai was at the bottom of the south, and it also lost more than 300,000 troops in the northern battlefield.
In comparison, the national strength of Chu still exceeds that of Cai.
Moreover, in order to quickly restore the power of Chu, Xiong Wu had to expand everywhere, annex the southern princes, and prepare for hegemony.
Cai and Chu bordered each other, and Cai and Yan faced each other across the river, and the princes in the south suffered serious losses, so they could only ask Yan for help.
Cai Guo encountered the Chu State soldiers, in the face of the crisis, the king of Cai State, the first country that thought of asking for help, was by no means Yan State, but took the lead in asking Wu and Yue for help, but unfortunately, Wu Yue also lost troops in the north, and the Chu State troops were seriously consumed, and before the complete victory was grasped, Wu Yue's army did not dare to shoot easily.
As for Shu, it is too far away from Cai and Chu, not to mention, after losing the northern territory, Shu Chen soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, for fear that the Dayan troops would go south and attack Shu, after all, facts have proved that the Shu army could not stop the Dayan troops at all.
Cai Guo was in a crisis, and the monarch had to be cheeky and sent a messenger to the north to Yan for help, hoping that the Yan army would go south to help Cai resolve the crisis.
