Chapter 15: Cutting and Conferring

Li Yun was worried about things in his heart, he didn't stay in Baowen Pavilion for a long time, and when he saw that the hour was almost right, he said goodbye, and when he entered the east gate of Zichen Hall on Jiacheng Road, he asked the inner servant who led the way to take Wang Keer back to Shaoyang Courtyard first, and when he entered the east gate alone, he saw that Fu Nu was still squatting at the foot of the palace wall with a small wooden box.

Li Yun beckoned Fu Nu to follow, and went to the east side of the Zichen Palace, but the crown prince Li Ning had not yet come.

This day is June 25, and the emperor will meet in the Zichen Hall on a single day, usually around the end of the hour, and then work nearby. If you don't go to court on two days, you will go to Yanying Hall to summon the courtiers and ask right.

It is estimated that the court meeting is still going on, Li Yun took the small wooden box from Fu Nu's hand, asked him to wait here for the prince to come, and beckoned a small yellow door standing nearby to guide the way, briefly explained the situation, and the small yellow door led him down the corridor to the front hall.

Because according to the system, it is not allowed to trespass on the court without the decree and will of the court, even the prince. And the crown prince has just been established, and the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, so naturally he can't justifiably go to the court to participate in politics, so he can only stay in Shaoyang Courtyard and Hongwen Hall.

Li Yun had just arrived in the front hall with a small wooden box under his arm, and he heard the sound of a roll call coming from the main hall.

"Xuanli Wang Yun ascends to the palace!"

After a while, the door of the palace was opened, and the three small yellow doors of the inner chamberlain strode out, obviously going to pass on the message, and happened to see Li Yun coming, so they shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Li!" Hurry up, please! ”

Li Yun nodded, his face was solemn, he handed the small wooden box in his hand to Xiao Huangmen, tidied up his robe and appearance a little, and then slowly walked into the main gate of Zichen Palace. I saw that the light in the vast hall was dim, and it looked deep and solemn. The bluestone floor tiles on the ground reflect the flickering lights, and rows of huge red lacquered gold dragon pillars support the carved beams and arches, which are delicate and magnificent.

The wide red Fushou pattern carpet under his feet extends to the dim Dan Majesty, and there are rows of wide vermilion square couches on both sides of the carpet, all of which are high-ranking officials above the fifth grade sitting on the square couch with serious expressions, but at this time they can't help but look sideways.

Li Yun ignored the sharp gazes of the courtiers, strode to the front of the fifth-order Dan Majesty platform with the little yellow gate, bowed down and bowed: "My father has every opportunity, and my sons have nothing to worry about, but they are worried about their fathers, and their sons are at fault, begging for forgiveness from their fathers!" ”

"Oh! Is it just wrong? Isn't it guilty? ”

Li Chun's emotionless faint voice came from above, Li Yun was such a clever person, and he immediately understood the other meaning of Li Chun's words, that is, to justify himself, but the previous dictation had been issued, and there was basically no possibility of change, that is, to tell the courtiers and Guo that his father and son were once again wronged, but the words had to be made clear, and that was the meaning.

Thinking of this, Li Yun perked up and replied loudly: "Erchen is not guilty, this matter has been clearly proven!" ”

As soon as Li Yun's words fell, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a purple-robed official with a slender body, a thin face, and five wisps of white and long beard, quickly walked out of the square couch, stood one step behind him, and bowed down with a wat board in his hand.

"The evidence is ironclad, the Inner Government Bureau ordered Wang Shoujuan and other four internal servants to bully the market, committed public anger and beat the citizens to death, His Royal Highness King Li is also one of the victims, if Your Majesty and Zhu Qing do not believe it, His Royal Highness King Li should have a stick wound on his body, why not make it public?"

Xu Mengrong's words were like a bolt from the blue, Li Yun had a lot of things to do in the past few days, and he never thought of this, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately untied his clothes in the main hall, took off his purple small dragon pattern robe and inner middle coat, and the bare upper back and arms were still stained with dark purple and red stick marks.

"Whew...... Hateful Diao Min! Pity...... Now I'm afraid it's hard to find the real culprit! ”

"Alas...... The son of a daughter, he can't sit down, what is the prince doing in the East Market if he has nothing to do......"

A burst of surprised sighs came, and the ministers muttered quietly, turning heads and ears, and for a while the hall was a little noisy as if they were cooking porridge.

At this moment, another tall middle-aged purple-robed man with a square face and thick eyebrows and deep-set eye sockets strode out, bowed down and played: "Although His Royal Highness King Li is injured, he is the one who provoked the incident, which is always true. Moreover, the Internal Government Bureau ordered Wang Shoujuan to have several fatal injuries on his body, which was also done by His Royal Highness King Li, which ...... It was also confirmed by Xu Fujun, so His Royal Highness King Li was not completely innocent. ”

Li Yun squinted at it, remembering that this person's name is Cheng Wengan, and he is also a eunuch, serving as the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and his office is outside the Zhaoxun Gate in the Daming Palace, and is in charge of public security, patrol police, and beacons on the main road in Chang'an City.

Xu Mengrong sneered when he heard this, and said without giving an inch: "What General Cheng said is good, but the person who caused the death was definitely not His Royal Highness King Li, you also confirm this, right?" ”

Cheng Wengan snorted, but didn't answer. Because this matter has been decided, it has given Guo Guifei face, but now it is just a formality, and it will be too much to argue again.

"Now that this matter has been decided, Zhu Qing does not need to discuss it again, I will also take care of my son, I hope that Zhu Qing will also take this as a warning and restrain his subordinates and families, I don't want to see this happen again. Otherwise...... The law is unforgiving! ”

Li Chun's tone was flat and regarded the "Dongshi Incident" provoked by Li Yun as a negative teaching material, and it was really not good that the security in Chang'an City was not good, and there were many small cases of all kinds of evil, especially in Gongshi, but this was not easy to solve.

"Edict! Jingzhao Yin Xu Mengrong judged the case impartially, just enforced the law, moved the right servant of the Criminal Department, and sentenced Jingzhao Mansion to ten horses. Cheng Wenganke, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, has been enthroned and has also given ten horses of brocade forging. ”

Li Chun's voice paused, and then said: "Cut the title of the second son of the emperor, King Li, and award the male of Xianyang County!" Immediate canonization ceremony! ”

"Son-in-law obeys his father's orders! Thank you for your grace! "The dust has settled on this matter, and there is nothing more to say. If the title is gone, you can earn it back, and Meng Dezao is also a talent, and it will be difficult to find it if you miss it. Li Yun bowed down and bowed again, officially accepting this punishment.

Tutu Chengguang, who was waiting behind the emperor's couch, walked down slowly, Li Yun took the small wooden box from the little yellow door behind him and handed it over to the begging, and then folded the full set of royal clothes such as robes, boots, heads, and jade belts that he had taken off.

Tutu Chengguang nodded after reading it, turned around and walked up the imperial steps, and then came out to read out the emperor's book, which is called "system award", because the title of Xianyang County man is from five grades, five grades to three grades for the system award, and more than three grades for the canonization, that is, there is a gold book.

Of course, there are also a full set of robes, but it is a light crimson embroidered small flower dress, and the belt is also a copper belt hook and inlaid with rhino horns, and the grade is much worse.

The salute official in the hall gave an order, and the musicians in the inner teaching workshop in the palace played the music, and the high-ranking officials looked solemn, and most of the eyes that looked at Li Yun were sympathetic, and at the same time, they were also vigilant in their hearts, and they must take care of their own children.

On this occasion, words and deeds should be cautious, Li Yun was also expressionless, and let the two little yellow doors change into crimson dresses, and then wait for the music to stop, bow down and thank you again, and under the wave of Li Chun on the royal couch, he took a few steps back and then turned around and exited the hall.
