Chapter 66: Mother-Son Fighting
Empress Dowager Dou bypassed Liu Qi and directly sent someone to collect Zhidu's crimes.
Zhi Du usually does an excellent job, he is not afraid of offending people, he has arrested so many people and killed so many people, there is always a mistake, and some prisoners are killed without strictly following the trial procedures; Some of them were sentenced heavily, and according to the law, they should be beaten with 200 boards, and they were severely sentenced to the head of the owl.
It's too easy to find fault with Zhidu. Empress Dowager Dou received volume after volume of Zhidu's criminal records.
Cousin Dou Ying visited the palace and took the opportunity to tell the Empress Dowager Dou: "King Linjiang asked for a knife and pen in prison, but Zhi refused to give it." ”
Empress Dowager Dou was even more angry and scolded endlessly. "If you don't kill the Zhidu man, I will never give up!"
。
Liu Qi was urgently summoned to Changle Palace by his mother.
Empress Dowager Dou sat on the couch, her face calm, and coldly ordered: "Show the evidence of Zhidu's guilt to the emperor." ”
The chamberlain picked up the case file and presented it to the low table in front of Liu Qi.
Liu Qi's expression was solemn, he reached out and took a volume, read it carefully, and picked up the next volume.
Zhidu's mistakes, one by one, were engraved on Jane and jumped into Liu Qi's eyes.
Before she finished reading, Empress Dowager Dou spoke.
"Zhi Du sells his reputation, knows the law and violates the law, and has a cruel temperament like a tiger and wolf, this kind of person should be killed. What did the emperor think? ”
"Zhi has all the credits." Liu Qi hurriedly replied.
"Merit is merit, and passing is excess." Empress Dowager Dou stared at her son and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has already rewarded him for the merits of Zhidu." ”
"That's what Mother said." Liu Qi reluctantly agreed: "Then remove the officials of Zhidu." ”
Empress Dowager Dou snorted coldly and stopped answering.
Don't worry, step by step, Zhidu's life will not last long.
Zhi was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown.
A truly intelligent minister will not easily get involved in the internal strife of the royal family. Because, once involved, it is difficult to get out of the whole body, and even inevitably become a victim and lose your life in vain.
During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Biao, the general of Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan, favored his youngest son Liu Cong and did not like his eldest son Liu Qi.
Legend has it that Liu Qi was worried and asked Zhuge Liang several times. Zhuge Liang diverted the topic back and did not respond. Liu Qi had no choice but to pretend to commit suicide and force Zhuge Liang to come up with an idea. Zhuge Liang was willing to say a word, and an inadvertent sentence became a famous saying through the ages.
Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er was at peace outside.
。
Liu Qi is just pretending to be angry, wanting his mother to be angry.
Not long after, Liu Qi reactivated Zhidu. He sent someone to issue a letter of appointment, so that Zhi Du did not have to come to Chang'an to report, and went directly to Yanmen County to serve as the Taishou.
Yanmen County is adjacent to the Xiongnu, the location is remote, and it is a strategic place. Liu Qi pondered and put Zhi Du here, which is not only low-key, but also useful.
The great name of Zhidu has long been spread to the Xiongnu. When the Huns heard that Zhidu was coming, they did not dare to come to the border line to harass.
In order to overcome fear, the Huns deliberately made a wooden statue of Zhidu to use the cavalry as an arrow target and practice shooting. Probably because of the weakness of the heart, no one was shot.
The Huns are worried, there is this fierce god standing in the way here, cutting off our financial route!
Soon, the Huns laughed.
Because, Zhi is dead.
When Empress Dowager Dou learned that Zhi Du had secretly made a comeback, she sneered again and again.
She summoned Liu Qi and put down the cruel words: "Don't be sloppy." This time, you have to kill Zhi! ”
"Zhi are all loyal ministers." Liu Qi's face was full of helplessness and argued.
Seeing that her son was still defending Zhidu, Empress Dowager Dou was full of anger, slapped the armrest of the couch heavily, and shouted: "Isn't the King of Linjiang a loyal minister!" ”
"......" Liu Qi lowered his head and was silent.
'My goshawk can't be saved! Liu Qi lamented in his heart.
In the end, Zhi was killed and buried with Liu Rong.
One life for another, evened out.
