Chapter 468: The Edict of Prison (Part II)
Although because Yang Zhen's official position was higher than his own, Yuan Taidong did not dare to resist and could only be arrested, but after he was taken down, he quickly gave his cronies beside him a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The latter will also be concerned, and after Yuan Qianhu was taken away, he hurriedly ran to Liu Shouyou to report the news.
After Liu Shouyou learned about this, he was naturally shocked and angry, and immediately took a few subordinates to stride straight towards Yang Zhen's public office. As soon as he came to the wide open door, he heard Yang Zhen's cold and threatening voice coming out of the room: "Yuan Qianhu, I advise you to confess your sins honestly, otherwise you, as a Jinyi guard, should know our rules here, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Don't think that anyone else can save you, today's incident, even if the king of heaven is here, he can't excuse you! ”
Hearing Yang Zhen say this, Liu Shouyou's expression suddenly became even more ugly, and after a cold snort, he immediately walked into the door, and he was not polite, looking directly at Yang Zhen who was sitting in front of him and said, "Yang Zhenfu, why did you take down Yuan Qianhu for no reason?" ”
Seeing Liu Shouyou coming in, Yang Zhen didn't panic at all, but just stood up slightly and hugged his fist: "I've seen Liu Dudu, and the lower officials found out that there was something going on over there in the Imperial Prison, so they brought Yuan Qianhu, who was in charge there." ”
"Governor, the lower officials are wronged, the lower officials are ......" Seeing that Liu Shouyou was finally here, Yuan Taidong's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly shouted out about his injustice. It's just that before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Liu Shouyou's gaze, and the latter glanced at Yang Zhen deeply: "Yang Zhenfu is really loyal to his duties, you have to take care of what you should manage, and you have to take care of what you shouldn't have, is this to take all the responsibilities of me, the governor of Jinyiwei?" Come on, first loosen Yuan Qianhu's bonds, and bring him back to the governor to ask again. ”
Liu Shouyou is really angry today, this Yang Zhen is too bad to give face to his boss, so he also decided to do something simple and rude, and simply robbed people directly with his identity.
But Yang Zhen's reaction was once again beyond his expectations, seeing him give such an order, Yang Zhen sank his face: "Slow! A glance passed, and his subordinates, who were already in the public hall, flashed out and blocked Yuan Taidong, so that Liu Shouyou's people could no longer untie him.
"You...... Yang Zhen, do you dare to disobey your orders? Liu Shouyou was even more annoyed when he saw this, and these words seemed to burst out from between his teeth.
"Don't dare." Yang Zhen bowed his hand to Liu Shouyou again: "If the governor gives you a formal order, the subordinate officials should obey it, but if it is a disorderly order, then it will be difficult to obey the order." ”
"Messy life? You say I'm a mess? Liu Shouyou laughed angrily: "Yang Zhen, you are so bold, I, Liu Shouyou, have really never seen a subordinate like you?" ”
"Why, don't you understand?" Yang Zhen glanced at the other party with some pity, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know if the governor still remembers what you said when I took office?" You told me the truth, the Jinyi Guard was in charge of everything from the spies, the cavalry, and the edict to prison. Now that the lower officials have found a mistake on the side of the edict, they naturally have the right to deal with it. As for the governor, if you want to know, you can do it, but you have to ask someone after the lower officials have inquired about the matter. ”
"You ......" Liu Shouyou was a little blocked by his words. He really didn't expect that Yang Zhen would actually use the rules and regulations of the Zhenfu Division to pressure him, and what made him even more annoyed was that he really couldn't deny this for a while, that is, to bring the lawsuit to the emperor, and Yang Zhen was also in charge.
In fact, this is the problem of institutional loopholes that exist in many yamen. In the formulation of the responsibilities of each official are very detailed, and the responsibilities of the number one are very general, under normal circumstances, relying on the position of the number one can of course suppress the people below, but once something like today's happens, there is a disobedient subordinate like Yang Zhen, the situation will be completely different, and the boss is very likely to be deprived of most of his power and be completely hollowed out.
Now, this matter is just a symptom, but Liu Shouyou has clearly felt the threat, once Yang Zhen succeeds this time, his next days will be very difficult. Not only will Yang Zhen gain an inch and further weaken his power, but the Jinyi guards under his hands are afraid that they will also fall to the side of the suppression who holds real power.
In any case, there can be no back-down in this matter!
Thinking about this, Liu Shouyou's eyes became more resolute: "Even if what you said has some truth, this official has the right to know why you want to take down Yuan Qianhu!" ”
In this regard, Yang Zhen did not hide it, so he truthfully told what happened in the edict prison before: "Isn't it the sin of Yuan Taidong's negligence that there are so many more prisoners in the edict prison out of thin air?" Moreover, the lower officials can also be sure that there must be a fake public and private element in this, as long as the lower officials carefully investigate, they can find out many problems. ”
When Liu Shouyou heard this, his brows furrowed, and at the same time, his eyes glared fiercely at Yuan Taidong, who was kneeling on one side. This kid is really dishonest, the number of people who reported to him before was only thirty-four, but now there are six more people, and it is obvious that he is also seeking benefits from it.
But now, it's not the time to care about this, Liu Shou said with a sudden expression: "It turned out that it was for this matter, then Yang Zhenfu you really wronged him, and Yuan Taidong had asked for instructions on this matter." It's just that you've been busy training people before, so he's asking me, the governor, for instructions, and you don't even blame me, do you? ”
"The lower officials don't dare. However, the lower officials did not know anything, and hoped that Liu Dudu could give advice. ”
"You say." Seeing that he said that he didn't dare to pursue himself, Liu Shouyou finally put some of his mind at ease, so that his boss could still make him jealous.
But Yang Zhen's subsequent words made his newly relieved heart mention again: "Since everything has been approved by the Governor, why didn't he register these criminals?" ”
"This ...... Maybe it was his negligence? ”
"I didn't think so." Yang Zhen shook his head categorically and said, "Because Yuan Taidong knows very well that once the prisoners who are locked in are registered, they will become the prisoners of our Jinyiwei." Then, if the East Factory asks him to bring people out, there will still be flaws. So he simply didn't do anything more, and only threw people into prison. Yang Zhen said and looked at Yuan Taidong: "Yuan Qianhu, there is nothing wrong with what this official said, right?" ”
Yuan Taidong lowered his head and gave him a default. He did plan to do so, but he didn't expect Yang Zhen to even figure out this little bit of his own thoughts.
Although Liu Shouyou was surprised by Yang Zhen's judgment, he still thought that he could suppress the matter with his identity as the governor, so he said: "Even so, Yuan Qianhu is just a momentary negligence, it is not a crime, why do you want to hold on to it?" ”
"The Governor is so wrong! My Jinyi Guard's edict is done by order, and I am ordered to take people to interrogate people, how can I let unrelated people in at will? If it's because these guys have an accident in prison, is this responsibility borne by you, Liu Dudu, or is it up to me, the governor? I'm afraid that when the time comes, I, the magistrate in charge of matters related to the edict, will have to take care of it? ”
This is true, since you have this power, of course, you have to bear the corresponding obligations. Once something happens to the edict, he will naturally not be able to escape this suppression, which even Liu Shouyou cannot deny.
Seeing that he was silent, Yang Zhen said again: "Since this is the case, it is the responsibility of the lower officials to ensure that everything is normal in our edict and prison, and now that such a situation has occurred, the lower officials themselves have to hold Yuan Taidong accountable." ”
Seeing that Yang Zhen was approaching step by step, it was already said that Liu Shouyou had no room to fight back, and Yuan Taidong was even more anxious in his heart. He knew very well that once he really fell into the hands of Yang Zhen, the end would be very unbearable, and it was a rare thing to be able to save his life.
So, he hurriedly called out: "Governor, the lower officials are just acting on orders, didn't you also approve it before?" Moreover, these prisoners who were imprisoned in the edict were also arrested and imprisoned by Dongchang, where did the lower officials dare to disobey their orders......"
His words obviously reminded Liu Shouyou that this matter also involved Dongchang, if he couldn't settle the matter, how would Gonggong Feng think of himself? Thinking of this, even though Liu Shouyou didn't have much confidence in his heart, he still stubbornly said: "Yang Zhen, you also heard that these criminals were detained by Dongchang, but in fact, Yuan Qianhu was just acting on orders." ”
"So what?" A gleam flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes: "Acting on orders? When did our Jinyiwei fall under Dongchang? When did they have the power to order us to run errands? How can the lower official, who should be pacified, know nothing? His words seemed to be intentional and unintentional, and his voice was much louder than before, not only everyone in the hall heard it clearly, but even the people outside who were paying attention to the meeting between the two bigwigs in the brocade guard also heard these words clearly.
"You ......" Liu Shouyou was speechless again, and at the same time, his heart sank suddenly, and then he remembered that Yang Zhen and Dongchang had been singing against each other. In Jinyiwei, many people may be jealous of Dongchang and Fenggonggong, but this Yang Zhen will definitely not sell any face to Dongchang.
What worries him even more is what other people will think after listening to Yang Zhen's encouraging words. During this period of time, Jinyiwei was crushed to death by Dongchang, and was also bullied by them, and everyone must have a grudge in their hearts...... Unconsciously, Liu Shouyou's face had become a little ugly.
