Chapter 305: The Four Walls of the Colder Worm (2)

It's good to be the emperor safely, and not let my mother overthrow it, and even live every day I am scared, and I still think about the hero. I didn't dare to let Pei Xingjian say it anymore, and immediately said, "I'm lonely." ”

Pei Xingjian did not stop, one has the intention to learn, the other has no intention to learn, the effect is the same, and he is an important minister in the court, he has affairs in his body, it is impossible to teach the prince often, and the time is very limited. And if it is expected to be good, the seizure time will be very fast. Therefore, he continued: "The reason why the minister said is that His Royal Highness has been benevolent since he was a child, and he has read books a lot, and some of his actions come from the heart, which is not comparable to Emperor Yang's fakes. The minister has been silently watching, and many of His Royal Highness's actions are really incredible, and they have already allowed the court to help. The minister went to the southwest with His Highness, and His Highness was also not unfamiliar with the military aspect. Therefore, the minister was whimsical and had today's idea. ”

"It's a shame to be alone," this ...... It is a word from the heart.

"It's not the ministers who persuade you. The minister said this with his own intentions, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hit the Huns hard, although it was done by the generals, but he was not a martial artist, so what was the side work? The appointment of people and plans are all decided by the emperor, and the generals are just to carry them out. ”

This made Li Wei ponder, and what he said was very reasonable, the emperor didn't understand, and he commanded indiscriminately, and it was difficult for his generals to win the battle. Zhiping is Li Ji alive, an old minister and a veteran, with full command. After Li Ji died, his father took it all over, so there was Suo Luo Dao, if not, would Xue Rengui be so anxious to march, if not, if he didn't go deep into Wuhai all of a sudden, would he lose so badly?

"Many ministers are against opening the border, which is a corrupt view. It's not that you can't open the edge, see how to open the edge. If the frontier is abandoned and all the troops are recovered, it seems that there will be less military spending and fewer sacrifices of soldiers. If that's the case, a few decades later, the border Turks, Tubo, Khitan, Xi, Yao, and *** people will grow stronger, and they will become a new border disaster, and the harm will be even more serious. At that time, the military expenditure required will be more, and the sacrifices will be heavier. ”

"Yes!" Li Wei was shocked, he had very little historical knowledge in his memory, but he could still remember some things, as if since the death of his father, his mother was the emperor, basically every time there was a big battle, the Tang Dynasty lost seven times out of ten, lost to the Tubo people, lost to the Turks, lost to the Khitans, and lost to the Tatar people. Not to mention the Song Dynasty.

This voice was a refreshing answer, which made Pei Xingjian very happy in his heart, and continued: "When you look at Taizong again, as long as you dispatch a small number of male divisions, and then mobilize all the Fan Hu, Fan to Fan, Hu to Hu, open up thousands of miles, and the burden on the country is not heavy. Because the war is beyond the borders, and the people are spared from it. However, this is not easy, and the requirements for the owner are higher. But there is one thing that His Highness is very advantageous, but it is a pity that many people are negligent. His Royal Highness said a word, if it is not within my clan, its heart will be different, Xue Xianggong said that it is not a race, and it is a deep danger, which is wrong. These two sentences can only be kept in the heart forever, and cannot be spoken. His Royal Highness's bloodline can be an army of 500,000. ”

"Yes," Li Wei was startled again. If it weren't for Pei Xingjian's clear statement, these words would never have been said, of course, Pei Xingjian is not good at saying the Xianbei blood flowing in your body. But it is precisely because of this that the Hu people and the Fan people are not exclusive, and many Hu generals fought bloodily for the imperial court, precisely because of this bloodline. Therefore, after Li Shimin's death, all the beards cried, like mourning, saying that the heavenly khan had fallen. When it came to my father's hand, it didn't seem to be playing well. But I can't threaten all day long that I am also a descendant of the Xianbei people, so that the whole country will be in turmoil. In the end, it is still a solution, and submission is never the way, and when it becomes a family, the disputes will naturally be reduced.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows furrowed.

This made Pei Xingjian feel relieved, learning the art of war of the Duke of Weiguo, the prince's qualifications were still slightly worse, but it was not so bad that he couldn't learn it.

However, blindly pursuing side merit has become a reckless force, and the burden on the country and the people is heavy, and the gains outweigh the losses. At this point, the minister is relieved of His Highness. There is only one thing to remember, if outsiders ask, you can only say that you can learn calligraphy with your ministers. ”

"Yes," Li Wei didn't think of anything else, it's hard to explain, could it be that Pei Xingjian taught me the art of war and wanted me to be the future hero? It is estimated that Pei Xingjian was exiled to Lingnan by his father later. But there are still doubts in my heart, Pei Xingjian taught himself the art of war, is this really the reason?

I don't believe it, Pei Xingjian has a lot of skills to understand people, and he is not bad at doing some things, at least as a modern person, he does not put on the shelf of the prince, maybe he will be the emperor in the future, not a faint king, but not Li Shimin......? It's better to learn than not to learn, this is Li Jing's art of war!

Pei Xingjian took out a yellowed book and said, "Your Highness, the minister will tell you the first article, potential." Overwhelming......"

……

Di Renjie entered the city, and the prisoners were put in prison one by one, but Di Renjie dispersed the original prison guards one by one and let his subordinates take over. Of course, he will not use torture to intimidate like Zhou Xing, but just detain the prisoners in solitary form, and then interrogate them one by one, using different confessions of each person to confront them again.

When Tianshui heard the news, his face became like dust.

There is no collusion in confessions, and there is no way to ventilate and report the news, and these subordinates will all confess sooner or later.

After panicking for a few days, Di Renjie's subordinates sent someone to call him over, not Di Renjie's reception, it was a subordinate of his subordinates, whose name is still remembered, his name is He Guangzhen, who is also an official of Dali Temple. He was still very polite to him, invited him to sit down, and made another cup of tea, He Guangzhen said: "Except for the envoy, we have basically investigated the case of Yangzhou and Chuzhou salt farms. Of course, you also did a good job, pulling a few weak businessmen into the water, and also confiscating property. But I've got a list here, you can take a look. ”

In addition to Tianshui taking it indiscriminately, it is clearly written that all the escapees employed by the salt farm, in fact, not only the salt farm, but also many workshops in Yangzhou also use the escapees, this Di Renjie did not investigate, the blow is too big, and it cannot be revealed.

In addition to this list, there are also confessions from his subordinates who used the fugitives to extort salt merchants.

He Guangzhen waited for him to finish reading and said, "You are a court official, although you have made a mistake, it is not a capital crime. Even if you don't confess, we can condemn you as well. You should now understand that not only the case of Liang Jinzhu, but also the salt and sugar of the imperial court and the taxes of the sea market, the emperor will not tolerate it. If you blindly resist, not only will you be sentenced to death, but even your family will be sent to Lingnan. By the way, I will tell you two more things, the two canal projects stopped, not the prince for Liang Jinzhu as you think, but the mud is too heavy to start construction, the emperor will not blame the prince, and you don't want to take luck The emperor will take His Royal Highness the prince, or someone will finally come forward for you. The second thing is that Di Yuanjun has already arrived in Jiangnan, and it may be enough for Suzhou to come out early. ”

"When did he go to Gangnam?"

"When we came, we were divided into two groups, one group was civilians dressed up in Suzhou, and the other group was when we came to Yangzhou, but that night Di Yuanjun left Yangzhou in civilian clothes and went to Suzhou. Another thing, by the way, is also to tell you, before His Royal Highness returned to Luoyang, a large number of people had already come to Yangzhou and Suzhou to find out your situation. The reason for the interrogation is to comply with the formalities and confirm the guilt. ”

These messages were like thunder, shattering the last trace of luck except for Tianshui. After most of the day, he said, "Let me go back and think about it." ”

In fact, I don't want him to confess the mistakes he made, but to confess his dealings with King Cao. When I returned home hesitantly, my wife also had a worried look on her face, but her daughter was small and ignorant, and she didn't know that something big would happen in the family. When she came to Yangzhou, she asked her cousin for two stranded swallows and dug up insect pupae to feed.

Looking at his daughter, and then at the pair of greedy swallows, and the insect chrysalis on the plate, except for Tianshui, he suddenly felt like a little cold insect. If he hadn't been caught in this case, he would have been able to jump a few times, but on the left is the prince, and if he doesn't explain, he will definitely not end well. On the right is King Yong, who confessed, it is impossible to keep his official position, and he will be exiled, but if he offends the Yongwang Party, he will not end well. There is a sea of snow in front and ice blades in the back, so you can only be helpless, curl up and wait for death.

Even if you die, you have to die smartly, otherwise your family will be affected by yourself.

Said weakly: "Lady, you take stock of the family's belongings, it should be my bribe, and all of them will be handed over to the people of Dali Temple." ”

"Aaron ......"

Except for Tianshui, he shook his head weakly, took out another piece of paper, and wrote a confession. There was no way to confess, so he had to take the sin on himself and not confess to King Cao. Let's see if the court can spare his family for the sake of his own death.

"Ah Lang...... "The wife just cried, and the daughter didn't know what was going on, so she cried."

"It's useless, a misstep is hated for eternity," he said, taking out a small pill from his bosom that had been prepared a long time ago, and stuffing it into his mouth. After a while, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and then it fell down like a curled chrysalis, not moving, only the corners of the clothes were drifting with the cold wind of winter.

……

"Do you recruit or not!" A basin of cold water was splashed, Liang Jinzhu woke up leisurely, and Cao Wang Li Ming asked.

Liang Jinzhu has been tortured out of human form, his body is full of blood stains and scars, exuding a foul smell, as well as the rancid smell of rotting wounds, if it weren't for the money, the servants in the family did not hesitate to use heavy money from time to time, and the three lives were also dead.

But Liang Jinzhu just didn't confess, in fact, in addition to using vicious punishment, he also forced his steward to confess, and used severe torture to make him "confess" one by one. can't survive, not only is it in charge, but if Liang Jinzhu can't get the news of the imperial court, he won't be able to survive.

Then he threatened his family, and a few days later his eldest son was killed in Suzhou for some reason, and two concubines were humiliated to death by more than a dozen gangsters. But it just doesn't work.

encountered this tricky job, Li Ming also became anxious. With the arrival of Di Renjie, he discussed with his staff. Some people think that Liang Jinzhu will be released immediately, someone will be sent to treat him, and the rest of the family property will be returned. After all, he was just a businessman, and he didn't believe that the court would punish a noble prince for the sake of justice for a businessman. For example, Di Renjie went to his fiefdom aggressively, and in the end he only recorded it, and left obediently.

There are also people who have a premonition that things will not be good, but the prince stopped the work with two canals to support Liang Jinzhu. Therefore, to force Liang Jinzhu to confess, first confess a part, it will be easy to do at the beginning, and then force him to confess and collude with the prince, and the plot is not treacherous. Then these cases are not dirty cases, and the whole case is alive. If he didn't recruit him, he would kill Liang Jinzhu and fake it as a scene of suicide in fear of crime. Anyway, with the confession of Liang Jinzhu's steward, black and white are confused.

Liang Jinzhu had a hard mouth, Li Ming was helpless, called a group of subordinates into the inner hall, and said, "Do it." ”

"Your Highness, Di Renjie is still in Yangzhou, can I watch it for a few more days?" Mei Ziping said.

"What do you mean?" This is the third time that Mei Ziping has suggested leaving Liang Jinzhu alive and continuing to extract a confession. Li Ming finally became suspicious. Mei Ziping was a little weak, and said: "Your Highness, having Liang Jinzhu's confession is the same as not having a suburban fruit. ”

But this time Li Ming didn't believe it, just stared at him.

Suddenly, there was a commotion and wailing outside, and Li Ming walked out angrily and asked, "What happened?" ”

A middle-aged man dressed in soap-colored linen clothes and wearing a cyan hat on his head broke in with a group of people. Afraid that Li Minggou would jump off the wall in a hurry, Di Renjie went straight to the court, was stopped by the officials, and was immediately put down by a group of guards. The howl outside was made by the wounded officer.

Di Renjie said: "Take the order." ”

shouted here to receive the order, and someone over there stepped forward to protect Liang Jinzhu. At this time, Li Ming regretted that it was too late, so he had to bow down and accept the order.

After announcing the holy decree, Di Renjie came to Liang Jinzhu and said, "Di is late. ”

Others don't know, but Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong know that the industry can't be regarded as Liang Jinzhu's, he is just an agent, although Di Renjie still has some objections until now, but how much benefit has the introduction of this agent brought to the imperial court? It's not just tribute and donations, that's not counting, it's the prince's money, what's the difference between it and the state's money? The main thing is to pull, all the tribute taxes of the salt and sugar sea market, this is what Di Renjie values.

"It's not too late, Di Envoy, they asked me to falsely accuse the prince," after finishing speaking, he persevered until now, his spirit relaxed, and he fainted again.

Immediately came over and took out a small medicine box to treat Liang Jinzhu. Di Renjie sneered, looked at the officials and said, "You are so bold, Liang Jinzhu is still a court official, and he dared to force a confession like this, and even forced him to falsely accuse the prince." ”

"There is no such thing," Li Ming said hurriedly, ignoring Di Renjie's presence, and kept glancing at his subordinates.

"Di envoy king, the minister confirmed, the minister was unwilling, but King Cao forced the minister and other slaves to force the servant to confess." Mei Ziping stepped forward and replied.

"Mei Ziping, you don't want to spew blood!"

"His Royal Highness King Cao, you still dare to be arrogant. When you were in Suzhou, you forcibly extorted money with your subordinates, embezzled and accepted bribes, and in order to falsely accuse the prince, you colluded with the salt and iron envoys and the officials of the city to torture and extract confessions from the court officials, slandered the good as thieves, and even did not hesitate to kill his son, and sent a group of Xiaoling to insult the female relatives of his family until he died of death. ”

Liang Jinzhu woke up again at this time, and when he heard this, he cried loudly.

The faces of the officials involved turned pale one by one, and it was over, even if King Cao's crimes were confirmed, they were over. Since Di Renjie read it out, he was dressed as an envoy of Jiangnan Province for an interview and disposal, there must be evidence, otherwise he couldn't say it.

But King Cao was still roaring like thunder, and said: "You little Fa Cao, you are so bold, you dare to slander this king." ”

If it weren't for the large number of people brought by Di Renjie, they would be able to say that someone would come and take down this person!

"Dare to be presumptuous, come here, King Cao is deeply guilty, take away his seal."

The two guards stepped forward, pushed Li Ming's body, and reached out to take the sigil. Li Ming wanted to grab it, but with another punch, Li Ming immediately lay on the ground and said, "This king is a disciple of the clan, you dare to beat me?" ”

"You're a member of the clan, am I?" The guard asked rhetorically. Yes, but it is far less noble than Li Ming, so I have to blend in with the Yulin Army to see if I can get a chance for promotion. But taking Li Ming's seal also means that Li Ming is no longer the assassin of Suzhou, and he has no right to transfer Suzhou officials. Of course, Di Renjie is still a temple, a little better than Fa Cao, but he has the right to seize the seal and strip the official. Ignoring him, he continued to read and arrested a cadre of officials.

Li Ming is the prince, and he gave back face, but this is not the case for other officials, and even Changshi pressed against the wall at once, took off the black hat, stripped off the official uniform, and then seized it. This time it's not greedy ink, it's not coerced confession, it's the prince who is framed, and the case is even more stabbing.

A group of people were arrested, and under the leadership of Mei Ziping, they arrested relevant criminals and officials in the city. Di Renjie walked up to Liang Jinzhu and took out a small burden, which was also Di Renjie's hesitation, but the prince insisted again and again. It will be criticized, but it will also be beneficial, so I have no choice but to do it.

Opening the baggage, inside was a brocade fur, Di Renjie said: "Xuandelang, Your Highness knows that you have suffered, but you don't know how to make up for it. This brocade fur was sewn by the crown princess for the prince, and Todi brought it to you. ”

As he spoke, he carefully draped it over him.

Although there are all kinds of criticisms, this cloak will bring a lot of hot hearts to the prince......

: It's not the meaning of the things in the pool, it's not easy to count the dragons, and the cold insects are the fate of ordinary courtiers who don't have the ability to vainly try to join the heir.

At the end of the month, it will be sealed, but *** is too little, please.
