Chapter 70 Five Golden Palace Trials
Today's Jinluan Hall Master is extraordinarily neat. The reason is very simple, what happened yesterday has spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and all the ministers have also heard that one is not far from ten, and everyone heard that the emperor is going to personally inquire about this matter, and they all hold back to see the excitement. Unlike ordinary people, many of the ministers know that Wang Hanxin used to be a hot general of the Liaodong Army, and was demoted to a street patrol soldier.
There are enough people watching the excitement, and the chief judge Liu Yan has a listless expression. In fact, Liu Yan has not yet figured out how to deal with Wang Hanxin, the main culprit in this case.
The two parties to the case standing in His Highness presented completely different mental outlooks. Wang Hanxin, who killed people on the street and taught his uncle a lesson, looked calm, wearing the clothes of a soldier on weekdays, waiting for the emperor's summons; As a victim, although Mi Yiguo was dressed in fine clothes, his expression was atrophied and shrunk to the side, and attentive people could still see that his legs were constantly shaking. Of course, this is not the first time Mi Yiguo has faced the saint, but the problem is Wang Hanxin who is standing next to him - the terrifying scene of yesterday still haunts Mi Yiguo's mind, he couldn't sleep all night last night, and even if he occasionally sleeps, he will be immediately awakened by nightmares, and he doesn't have to guess what he dreamed of.
"Declare them to the temple." Liu Yan said lightly.
After the eunuch announced the decree, Wang Hanxin and Mi Yiguo walked up slowly. As soon as the ministers looked at the appearance of the two, they understood the rights and wrongs, where Wang Hanxin looked like a soldier who had just beaten his uncle, and it was clear that he had come to the Golden Palace to receive the reward; Mi Yiguo is more like a defendant than that.
Liu Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart that this Wang Hanxin was too arrogant. It seems that it is indeed impossible to say that it is not suppressed for a while, but this Mi Yiguo is really not a weapon. If you are too oriented to him, you can't even say it in your heart. Immediately, he said, "Do you two know what I announced that you came to the Golden Palace for?" ”
After Liu Yan said this, Wang Hanxin looked sideways at Mi Yiguo and smiled, Mi Yiguo suddenly felt excited. I couldn't even speak.
Wang Hanxin sneered, and arched his hand towards Liu Yan and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, Weichen was patrolling the street yesterday, but he unexpectedly encountered Uncle Mi Guo's housekeeper driving a carriage on the street, injuring passers-by. Wei Chen's duty was to break the horse's leg with a stick, and the carriage was crashed as a result. Who knew that the housekeeper of Nami claimed that Wechen had delayed his urgent matter and spoke ill of Wechen, so Wechen knew about him, and he felt filthy and fled. Who knew that Uncle Mi Guo was not only unrepentant when he learned about this. Instead, dozens of house slaves were gathered to rush over, intending to be unfavorable to Weichen. Such a reckless act is really a loss of the emperor's personal system, and in the middle of the city, it will damage His Majesty's reputation. In the sense of reason, in the law of the country, and in Weichen's own safety, he could not tolerate it, so Weichen shot and killed a few evil slaves led by him to set an example, and the rabble immediately dispersed. His Majesty's reputation, the majesty of the royal family, was preserved by the actions of the ministers. Your Majesty is a wise king, so Weichen speculates that His Majesty summoned Weichen. I think it is to reward the ministers heavily. ”
Halfway through Wang Hanxin's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, most of them had heard of Wang Hanxin's past bad deeds, but they didn't expect him to be so unscrupulous. After he finished speaking, even Liu Yan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Liu Yan, the Manchu Dynasty, had hundreds of civil and military personnel. Who dares to speak so boldly as this thorny Wang Hanxin and talk eloquently on the Golden Palace? He avoided the important and trivialized, and understated all the things he did ruthlessly. However, he pointed out all kinds of unbearable behaviors of Mi Yiguo, and used national law and royal majesty to kidnap Liu Yan. In the end, not only did he admit that he was wrong, but he also asked Liu Yan for a reward with a shy face. It can really be described as shameless. When he said this, people who don't know why must think that Wang Hanxin has not done anything wrong, but should be commended, which shows that this kid is not only a military talent, but also has a good degree of cunning and intelligence. The more Liu Yan looked at him, the more he liked it, but he kept warning himself in his heart that he must crack down on this kid's arrogance, otherwise he would definitely make more trouble next time.
In addition, he saw Mi Yiguo kneeling there and stammering and speechless, so he said: "Wang Hanxin, few people know that you can speak well, and when you repeatedly violated military regulations, someone covered up the past for you, which made you spoiled and lawless, and in the end committed a mortal crime." The widow couldn't bear to correct you because of your outstanding achievements in conquering Goryeo, and originally planned to take the opportunity of letting you be a street patrol to polish off the violent spirit in your heart and make you look more like a minister. Who knows that you are still the same, do your own thing! Don't you know the cause and effect of this incident? No matter how clever you are to cover it up, you can't overshadow your crime of killing people at will in the downtown of Chang'an! Uncle Mi does have a lot of faults in this matter, and the widow will teach him a good lesson. Although it is your duty, you have acted excessively and cruelly, and if you do not punish it, it will surely become more and more severe in the future. ”
When Wang Hanxin saw Liu Yan say this, he had to kowtow and said: "Since the Holy Lord is already clear about the details, then Weichen has nothing to say, so he can only ask the Holy Lord to send it down." ”
Liu Yan nodded at this time, pointed at Wu Sicheng and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it happened that Wu Aiqing saw yesterday's events, and now I will ask him to repeat the matter, so as not to tell you the truth." ”
At that moment, Wu Sicheng told yesterday's events from beginning to end. When all the ministers heard this, they all sighed, not because the original situation of this matter was clarified, but because most people didn't know that Wang Hanxin was actually a street patrol soldier who still led the six-rank Weiyuan general Yulu. Wang Hanxin came to Chang'an for a short time, his Weiyuan General's Mansion is located in a remote area, and no one enters or leaves on weekdays, it can almost be said that it is a door, everyone thinks that this is the mansion of a general who is fighting outside the capital, but they never thought that this Weiyuan General is Wang Hanxin. In this way, what Uncle Nami's slave is fighting is the official of the imperial court, and the nature of the matter is actually quite favorable to Wang Hanxin. It's just that what everyone thinks in their hearts is not much different from Liu Yan, this Wang Hanxin is like a wolf who can't be raised, and he has to give him a little bitterness, but how to deal with it depends on how the emperor decides.
Liu Yan waited for everyone to calm down a little before he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows the reason for this matter, the dispute between General Weiyuan and Uncle Guo is really about the face of the imperial court, and now I will settle this dispute." ”
"Mi Yiguo listens to the order."
"Minister, minister."
"Your humiliation yesterday can be said to be self-inflicted, all because you don't learn and don't know how to make progress, you live in a muddy way, and you are arrogant. I should have punished you severely, and I thought that you were still young, so I ordered you to go home and think about it for half a year, and you were not allowed to go out! Think about your past misdeeds, and hope that you can turn back as a prodigal son, change your past mistakes, and stop dishonoring your own door, disgrace your sister, and embarrass me. ”
"Minister, minister, obey." Mi Yiguo trembled and kowtowed to the ground, today's experience had tormented his fragile nerves more and more precariously.
Liu Yan said again: "Wang Hanxin! Although you are duty-oriented, you are acting excessively and undecennially. I will punish you to compensate Uncle Mi Guo's family for the funeral expenses of 200 taels per person, a total of 1,600 taels. In addition, you will be fined for one year to set an example! ”
"Your Majesty! This can't be done, you let me pay the silver but deduct it for a year, where can I find this lot of silver! As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, Wang Hanxin shouted.
"Shut up, you dare to make a loud noise in the Golden Palace, and if you continue to talk about it, you will be punished twice!" Seeing that Wang Hanxin was in a hurry, Liu Yan felt interesting, but he didn't expect that Wang Hanxin was a money fan, and he was happy to finally catch his weakness. He said again: "There is no money, there is no money to ask the household department to borrow, the penalty is your general Weiyuan's money, you use your soldier's money to pay it back slowly, when will it be paid off with interest, this matter will be over." See if you give me Hu in the future, as long as you can afford it, you can just come to Hu Lai. Retreat! ”
Liu Yan waved his sleeves, stood up and left. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty watched Wang Hanxin retreat with a teasing smile, and Mi Yiguo was helped out by the eunuchs. Only Wang Hanxin was left sitting alone in the Golden Palace in a daze. (To be continued.) )
