Chapter 367: Prison (1)
Li Shimin said: "It's nonsense, embezzled 300,000 taels of silver, and said that it is excusable? Do you know how many people he needed to kill if he embezzled the 300,000? Even if he has great military exploits, he can't offset it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou are in the first rank, and you have a national business institute and soldiers in Jiangnan, why don't you arrest it? ”
Luo Yi feels very strange now, he has already expressed his concerns, such a trivial matter, Li Shimin actually grabbed it, what is the reason? Could it be that Li Shimin really wants to kill them all and investigate them to the end?
Or does Li Shimin no longer trust him?
It is said that Li Shimin is a Ming monarch and a good emperor, but Luo Yi is wrong at the moment.
Luo Yi said lightly: "Then the emperor, how are you going to deal with the minister, the minister has nothing to say." ”
"You...!"
Li Shimin said angrily: "You still don't know how to repent. ”
"Come on, take Luo Yi down and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department."
"Yes."
The two Yulin soldiers dragged Luo Yi out.
Luo Yi's nose is blue at the moment, fortunately he has worked hard to run the National Chamber of Commerce, for whom? It's not for Li Shimin, it's for Datang, but in the end he was imprisoned by Li Shimin, and he didn't repent, but he was jealous.
"Your Majesty, the 300,000 taels of silver, I wanted to return to Chang'an and hand it over to the treasury, and I never thought of swallowing it alone."
Li Shimin said: "Of course, 300,000 taels of silver must be handed over, but if you connived at Hu Ran to kill Liu San and more than 60 people, the crime is unforgivable and must be severely punished." ”
"Hold on!"
"Your Majesty, wronged, I've been doing things for you..."
Luo Yi begged for mercy while being dragged away, but unfortunately, Li Shimin turned a deaf ear as if he hadn't heard it.
In this way, Luo Yi was escorted by two Yulin soldiers, all the way to the Criminal Department, and put in prison.
Luo Yi was pressed into prison, and everyone knew about it that day, Luo Tong, Hou Yunyi, Zhao Wenxian, Zhao Wenyong, Mrs. Luo, Lanni, Cheng Yanjin, etc., as long as they were in Chang'an, they all got the news.
Everyone knows that Luo Yi is very valued by Li Shimin, and he is an official residence, and he opened the National Commercial Academy, which can be said to be second to none in terms of power and wealth in the Tang Dynasty.
Such a powerful person turned into a prisoner overnight. This makes it difficult for everyone to understand.
That night, Luo Tong took Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong to Zuixianju and called Er Fat, Hou Yunyi, and Cheng Yanjin to discuss countermeasures, and the most important thing is to find out why the emperor did this.
Regarding this matter, Luo Tong's opinion is very simple, because Luo Yi committed a crime, did not uphold justice for Liu San and others, and allowed Hu Ran to do nothing. Li Shimin also said the same thing in the imperial study, Luo Tong felt that Li Shimin would not lie, there should be no other reason.
But Cheng Yanjin feels that things are not so simple.
"Uncle Cheng, what do you mean when you say that things are not that simple? Could it be that the emperor has any other reason? ”
Gathered in the room, Luo Tong asked with a frown.
Cheng Yanjin sighed and said: "I don't understand it either, it stands to reason that Luo Yi is very favored in front of the emperor, and he has done several major things one after another, which makes the emperor very proud, even in the court, he often praises, but in the blink of an eye, why don't he recognize people's temperament, it's really weird; If you want to say that it is for Liu San's business, I don't believe it, Liu San's case, although it is extremely miserable, but in the final analysis, it is only dozens of ordinary people who died, and the investigation and trial of the case are the business of the magistrate, what does it have to do with Luo Yi? If it is Luo Yi's responsibility, is it a bit too far-fetched? Besides, this case happened in Jiangnan, how could the emperor know? also knew so quickly, directly blamed Luo Yi. I think there's only one possibility. ”
The second fat said: "Oh, Lord Lu Guogong, don't go around the corner, just say it, we are all dying." ”
Zhao Wenxian said: "Yes, let's say it quickly." ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "I think the emperor wants to punish Luo Yi, and deliberately makes a big fuss about the affairs of Jiangnan." ”
"When Luo Yi was ordered to go to Jiangnan, the emperor must have sent someone to follow secretly, so he wanted to catch Luo Yi's handle, what the emperor didn't expect was that Luo Yi not only maintained corrupt officials, but also extorted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from corrupt officials, which..."
The second fat said in surprise: "You mean, the emperor's eyes are red?" ”
Zhao Wenxian held his eyes: "No, the emperor will also be red-eyed?" ”
"That's what you said, I didn't say that."
Cheng Yanjin sat down and took a sip of tea with a dodgy expression.
Luo Tong sneered: "Hehe... Uncle Cheng, you didn't say that, but that's what you thought in your heart. ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "As courtiers, we shouldn't guess like this, but the facts are in front of us, Luo Yi's money is richer than the treasury, so no one can help but be jealous, even the emperor is not immune." Drunken Immortal Liquor, the National Chamber of Commerce, and now I want to set up a grain station in Jiangnan, this... ”
Zhao Wenxian said: "I once heard Brother Luo say that General Luo shed the last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements, and finally the emperor also sealed Su Dingfang, which is really unfair.... ”
"Don't talk about what happened back then, we should think about how to save the third brother now."
Luo Tong interrupted Zhao Wenxian's words.
The second fat said: "It's not easy to save the eldest brother, this is the emperor wants to punish the eldest brother." ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "I will enter the palace tomorrow morning, make a statement to the emperor, see what the emperor says, Luo Yi did not make much mistakes, I believe that the emperor understands things, and I will wait for these old ministers to make it clear, Luo Yi will be released soon." ”
Luo Daodao: "I hope so. ”
Erfat slapped the table fiercely and said: "What a faint gentleman, let's do our best to help him, just give him three million, he has evil thoughts, wants to take our money, hum, I knew this, I wouldn't open any State Business Academy, and sell our wine with peace of mind." ”
The second fat openly scolded the emperor, and Cheng Yanjin and Luo Tong both scolded at the same time: "Shut up, how can you be disrespectful to the emperor?" The emperor just didn't check it for a while. ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "Don't worry, when the prince of my country sees the emperor, the emperor will definitely let Luo Yi go." ”
"Hmph."
The second fat looked disdainful, snorted coldly, and turned to go upstairs.
Everyone is a little discouraged, the king is like a tiger, the emperor's thoughts, who can know, imprisoning Luo Yi may not be as everyone thinks, and there may be other reasons.
But now there is no other way, but to let Cheng Yanjin intercede first, and then think of another way.
..............
In the prison, the place where Luo Yi lives is not like a real prison cell. It is very luxurious here, with tables, beds, red tents, and pungent sandalwood, but it is a bit like the most luxurious room in the Drunken Immortal Residence.
To have such treatment, of course, it has nothing to do with Luo Yi's identity, and the people in the Criminal Department don't believe that Luo Yi is so down, and they want to take advantage of Luo Yi's imprisonment to get a good stitch.
Luo Yi would not refuse the kindness of the officials of the Criminal Department, and lived in a luxurious house as a matter of course.
"Master Hou, are you used to living here?"
"Habit, habit, of course habit."
Luo Yi laughed.
Standing in front of Luo Yi was a lean man, dressed in the official mansion of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and he was also ranked in the fourth rank.
Luo Yi asked, "I don't know who the adult is...?" ”
"Oh, Xiaguan Wu Liang, it's the squire of the Criminal Department, who is in charge of your case."
"Wu Liang, thank you very much."
Luo Yi looked at the house he lived in, Wu Liang did waste a lot of thoughts, but also a lot of risks, to live in such a good house for a prisoner, if Li Shimin knew, I am afraid that he would not want to be an official again.
