Chapter 979: Not a word
The palace is still the same palace, and the guards are still the same guards, still standing in the shadows under the palace walls as they always come here, but the results of looking at the same thing are different depending on the mood. Su Ren is not a person who likes to reminisce, but he is reminiscing all day long, recalling how to get out of Wenling, recalling coming to Chang'an, and recalling birth and death. Sometimes he fantasizes about whether this means that he wants to go back to the past, which is played in every movie.
I'm scared, I can't talk about it, I'm just a little impatient, and I'm still upset. Since he walked out of Wenling, Su Ren has been exploring this unknown place, so he has traveled almost all over the country, just like a player who has just entered the game, unknown adventures are always the most powerful motivation. Now that this world has been explored, Su Ren feels as if he has lost his direction and goal all of a sudden, so he feels upset.
As a criminal officer, he has long been no longer qualified to enter at any time, so he can only move inside step by step with heavy shackles under the strict guard of a large group of royal guards and guards. The road was long, and every step was familiar to him. Su Ren walked very slowly, this was the last time he stepped into this place and stepped on this road. Whatever the outcome, it will never happen again.
The steps are also very long, and it is very strenuous to walk with shackles. No one helped him, and I don't know if it was an order from the emperor or if these guards did it on purpose. There are a total of ninety-nine steps, representing the ninety-five dignity of the imperial power, I heard that all the palaces in the world are the same, and there are ninety-nine steps outside the door of each hall. It's just a little steep and a little soothing. The steps of Jianzhang Palace are very steep, standing below to see, the main hall above is like being built in the sky, and you can see the flowing clouds flying through the eaves.
"Hussar General Su Ren begs to see His Majesty!" 、
"Sinner, Su Ren begs to see Your Majesty!"
Roll call was the strictest etiquette for a courtier, and if a courtier broke into the hall without a roll call, he would be considered an assassin and die by the sword of the guards. When Su Ren came before, there was no such link, and today's pomp, honor guard, and atmosphere are all weird, orthodox and strictly weird. This situation is actually not good, the more formal it is, the less free there is room for operation, so Su Ren doesn't like it very much.
The palace didn't know how deep it was, and Su Ren heard the words back and forth as many as five times. When he was ordered by the emperor to go to the palace, it was already ten years later. Su Ren still walked very slowly, and he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, but he could feel that there were many people in the hall, and everyone's eyes were on him, including the guards, chamberlains, and maidservants.
Liu Che is tall and wears a crown, and under the effect of the light, it looks weird and mysterious. Below are the civil and military officials, Dou Ying stood at the front, his eyes slightly closed, and there was no expression on his face. Su Ren only glanced at these two, as for the others, he didn't want to look at them, and it didn't make sense to look at them.
"The criminal minister Su Ren knocks to see Your Majesty!" This is the second time Su Ren has spoken, and it is not much different from the previous sentence.
The hall was very quiet, Liu Che didn't let Su Ren get up, nor did he get angry and let people immediately pull out and cut off his head, just sat quietly. The emperor didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak. So everyone waited quietly, waiting for the emperor's final ruling, nervous and anxious.
After a long time, Su Ren's knees were numb, and Liu Che finally spoke: "Doctor Yushi, tell him about the affairs discussed by the courtiers." ”
"Yes!" Wang Hui, the imperial historian, hurriedly stood up, and while looking at his guard, he gave a detailed and clear explanation of the matter of the hussar general Su Ren tearing up the holy decree and beating the chamberlain. Almost everyone in the court is mentioned now, including, of course, the most important words they have spoken. However, the court discussion was inconclusive, that is to say, after ten days of court discussion, no conclusion was reached on how to deal with this bold Su Ren.
Wang Hui had a dry tongue, and it took nearly half an hour to introduce the matter, and then returned to his position. There was silence again, and no one spoke again. Some people waited for the emperor to make a final ruling, and some people waited for Su Ren to open his mouth to defend himself. However, the result disappointed both parties, the emperor had no conclusion, and Su Ren did not defend himself.
This time it can really be said that the silence is terrifying, and in the main hall of Nuoda, hundreds of people gathered together can even hear the sound of breathing clearly. It was still Emperor Liu Che, and he coughed lightly: "Let's talk about it?" Those questions during the court meeting can now be asked face to face, and if there is no result in the discussion today, then the discussion will continue to be discussed, Prime Minister, you will preside over it. ”
Dou Ying finally opened his eyes and saluted Liu Che: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Dou Ying stood in the center of the hall and glanced around: "Let's start?" In the presence of His Majesty and the Hussar General, we will discuss that matter again today, well......! Let's start with Lord Cheng in the imperial history, the first few times you were the first to speak, and you repeatedly advocated that it was a rebellion against the hussar general to tear up the holy decree and beat the chamberlain, today you can say it well, it is best to make the hussar general confess, let's start! ”
Wang Wenshu and Su Ren have met a few times before. Although he knew from the name that this guy was not a good stubble, Su Ren did not attribute this person to danger and think that he must belong to a different system from this person, and there is a possibility that he will not deal with this person in this life. If you can't meet a guy who is not a good person, you have to stop it, and there must be more corrupt officials in the world who need a cool official like Wang Wenshu to clean up.
However, Su Ren didn't expect that he would one day be used by such a guy. Wang Wenshu's heart Su Ren understood very well, it was nothing more than wanting to climb up by his shoulder. As long as you don't hate Su Ren, you can forgive it, but this time Wang Wenshu has gone too far, and Su Ren will never be soft on those who want to kill him. Therefore, when Wang Wenshu came out, Su Ren glanced back at him.
Wang Wenshu was nervous, and very nervous. It's one thing to say it behind your back, it's another thing to say it to your face. Su Ren had three good lives in Dahan, the god of business, the god of war and the god of killing. The god of Shang is a commercial myth set off by Su Ren in the Han Dynasty, and the business alliance he established has reached a point that cannot be matched by his predecessors. Needless to say, the god of the army can go from a lowly merchant to the road of a hussar general, who can fight without great military exploits?
In fact, the title of killing gods is earlier than that of the god of commerce and the god of war. When Su Ren blew up the north gate of Chang'an in the first thing when he came to Chang'an, someone made a summary of Su Ren's experience, starting from Liu Wen and Hou Jian, and later the eldest princess Liu Concubine and other people listed a long list of people, all those who opposed Su Ren, down to bandits and robbers, up to the emperor's relatives, the final result will not be good. Later events also proved that the title of killing gods was well deserved.
Wang Wenshu shuddered when Su Ren saw it, and quickly cleared his throat: "Cough, then I'll talk about it again!" ”
Wang Wenshu is also a man, he didn't stumble at all, and he expressed it very clearly. And there is a reason and evidence, saying that Su Ren tore up the holy decree is that there is no monarch father, and beating the inner servant who passed the decree is ignoring the prestige of the Han Dynasty, which is a typical disrespect, and it should be beheaded immediately. also reprimanded those who wanted to keep Su Ren alive, saying that they were Su Ren's accomplices and should also be severely punished.
The words were impassioned, and Su Ren couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it. From the perspective of a Han Chinese, Wang Wenshu said nothing wrong. No matter how much credit Su Ren has, in the face of imperial power, there is no room for any slander. And Su Ren just did the most unacceptable thing for the Han people, so being killed was considered his own death. But Wang Wenshu did not take people's emotional factors into account, he, like Zhang Tang, defined himself as a pure minister, an emperor eagle dog to consider things, which is also a reason why Wang Wenshu was able to serve as a court lieutenant after Zhang Tang's death in history.
After Wang Wenshu finished speaking, Dou Ying ordered a few more people, including Shang Shuling Li Cai, all of whom advocated the execution of Su Ren. From some people's point of view, this seems to be a signal, so when these people finished speaking, many people reconsidered. For a while, the wind direction in the court changed suddenly, and the voices hoping to execute Su Ren accounted for the most.
"Hussar General!" Dou Ying waited for those people to finish speaking, then turned his head and asked Su Ren, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Su Ren didn't say a word, knelt quietly, changed his previous posture of being like a river, and had a posture of fighting and killing, which made many people anxious for him.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Su Ren still had no words, Dou Ying sighed lightly, turned his head and asked, "Does anyone else want to say anything more?" ”
"I have!" Ji secretly stroked his gray beard and walked out of the crowd: "Su Ren should be killed!" It's a thousand cuts! ”
The old man and Dou Ying are of the same age, and they are praised in the court for their integrity, and when they heard the old man's words, many people secretly took a breath of cool air, and even Liu Che, who was sitting on the dragon chair, unconsciously moved his body.
As if he hadn't seen everyone's expressions, Ji Yin continued: "Su Ren is a savage from Wenshui County, Shu County, with a strange background and a strange background, since he was born, he has colluded with thieves to communicate with foreign countries and provoke Qiang people!" Later, he targeted the court officials in Shu County, causing their deaths, and entangled the merchants to fight against the court law; When he first came to Chang'an, he blew up the north city gate and framed the eldest princess; then killed people in Lingnan like grass mustard, privately built a big ship to go to sea, and was known as a pirate; Also with the Huns called brothers, exchange news, and run to the Western Regions, united foreign countries against the Han people, now there is a war with the Huns regardless of Your Majesty's safety, put Your Majesty in danger, this time to tear up the holy decree, beat the inner servant, the crime is greater than the sky, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not to die is not enough to shock the dynasty, the old minister implores His Majesty to order Su Ren Ling Chi to set an example, in order to calm the world! ”
After speaking, Ji secretly knelt on the ground and waited for His Majesty to speak. Countless people in the main hall had their mouths grown, and they couldn't help themselves in surprise. Even Dou Ying didn't expect Ji Dian to say such a thing in this way, he didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only turn around and look at the emperor and wait for the emperor to fall.
Although no one could see the expression on the emperor's face at this time, they could guess that Liu Che's face was definitely not good-looking. After being silent for a long time again, Liu Che took a deep breath: "Don't you want to say something?" ”
"The criminal minister Su Ren knocks to see Your Majesty!" Su Ren still said the same thing, and didn't say a word other than that.
