Chapter 243: Drawing Lessons from Death
In the early dynasty, when the ministers returned to their positions, Qibai lowered his eyes and secretly looked at the extraordinary prince in front of him, there was no doubt that he was a little timid in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the tide is rising, and he can't afford to think about it anymore, so while Liu Yan is talking, he glances at the people on the side.
It's a pity that all this did not escape from Liu Yan's eyes, he sped up his speech, and after spit out the last word, he said: "All the ministers have understood, and they will ...... today."
"No, no, no......"
"Or are you going...... You go ......"
The discussion in the crowd gradually overshadowed Liu Yan's voice, and everyone looked in surprise, only to see a minister next to Qibai being pushed out of the queue.
I saw that the man raised his head tremblingly, and said nervously: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower official did not mean it, but because he heard a very surprising thing, but ...... But the lower officials didn't dare to say it. ”
Liu Yan's eyes were cold, and as soon as he spoke, he revealed a suffocating majesty, "If you don't dare to say it, let the person who pushed you out say it." ”
He glanced back at Qibai, but he didn't dare to say anything, Chen Zhiming on the side looked anxious and said, "Eh, Master Li, let's talk about it, what is there you don't dare to say?" Say it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely make decisions for you. ”
"I have a nephew who is on duty in the East Palace, and before entering the palace today, he told me that he saw the side concubine in the East Palace." Li Yi was still a little nervous, and he didn't even dare to raise his head when he spoke.
The fool could also hear that he was provoking Liu Yan by saying this, and immediately there was silence in the court, and no one dared to open his mouth to break the silence, and when he looked secretly, Liu Yan's face was already very ugly.
Liu Yan saw that Qibai wanted to speak, so he hurriedly opened his mouth in front of him and said, "Li Yi, what is your nephew's name, and what is the value of being in the East Palace?" ”
"Yes...... Is it ......" Li Yi hesitated, as if he was afraid of implicating his nephew, Liu Yandeng sneered, "What? Can't even remember your nephew's name? You can't make up this person, right? ”
"Next...... The lower officials dare not ......"
At this moment, Qibai suddenly came out of the ranks. He said loudly: "His nephew's name is Quan Shilin, and he is an official of horse washing in the East Palace. ”
"Is this nephew General Qi's or Master Li's? General Qi knows the bottom line better than Master Li. When Liu Zhengsheng heard this, he immediately mocked.
Qibai didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and looked at Liu Yan directly: "If what Lord Li said is not half false. What should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do? ”
Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yan, and slowly came out under his gaze: "General Qi must be eager to avenge his son, right?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble character, how can he let the murderer go? What's more, this person is still a side concubine opposite to His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows the temperament of the side concubine. So, I think your son's case must have gone wrong. It can't be the hand of the side concubine, what did she do to kill your son for no reason? ”
Liu Yan frowned and looked at Liu Yu, seeing him smile faintly at him, he immediately turned to Qibai with unhappiness, and said with a dilated gaze: "Father said earlier, this case will be transferred to the Criminal Department, if you feel wronged, go to the Criminal Department." ”
Seeing that he said that he had the intention of turning away, Qi Bai hurriedly shouted: "In the whole world, this hall is the most authoritative. If the old man can't redress his grievances here, wouldn't the small criminal department be useless? ”
When Liu Yan stopped and turned around, he said again: "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince perfunctory the old man, the old man is indeed vengeful, but the old man has not told a half-word lie, killing someone is killing someone." But just because she is the side concubine of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can blindly cover up, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"What are you talking about? Loosen one's tongue! It's just abominable. General Qi was too contemptuous of imperial power in doing so. Liu Zhengsheng hurriedly spoke.
As soon as the words fell, one after another ministers came out of the ranks, all of them said righteously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the prince, and you have to think twice about everything." ”
"Wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, why do you want to be indignant for a side concubine? ”
"Please think twice about His Royal Highness the Prince!!"
In the face of everyone's almost condemned pleas, Liu Yan frowned, and the anger in his heart had quickly jumped to the back of his head, but when he saw Liu Yu's slightly happy face, he instantly calmed down.
"All Shilin? This person Hongu vaguely remembers. But I don't remember much. Oh, Bengong remembered, isn't this the Quan Shilin who sneaked into Chu Shen's summer room in March and stole a few books? ”
Liu Zhengsheng hurriedly responded: "When His Highness said this, I also remembered that His Highness read that he was a first-time offender, and he stole a book, so it was just a little punishment." Actually, it's not......"
"How?" Liu Yan glanced at him curiously, but he really didn't know.
"My husband later told me that one of his jade pendants in the box had also disappeared with the books." Liu Zhengsheng said and glanced back at Li Yiyi, "I remember that Lord Li's lame was discounted by General Pei, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yi's face darkened, and everyone looked clear. When Li Yi saw a pair of Puyu in Pei's mansion, he wanted to take them away when he was itchy, but after being discovered by General Pei, he beat him so badly that his left foot walked a little weird.
The crown prince Zhan Shi Ji Gang immediately laughed and said: "It turns out that your family is a virtuous person, what such a person says is not credible, not credible." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Bai pretended to hit the pillar and said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not return my son's innocence today, the old man will ...... and the blood was sprinkled on the great hall. ”
"Okay, you can learn from death." After Liu Yan said this easily, everyone cast incomprehensible glances.
I only heard him say again: "General Qi, you know that you won't hit the pillar, and this palace also knows, in this case, who are you going to show this picture to?" ”
Qibai was stunned, and looked at Chen Zhiming with some help, but it was Liu Zhengsheng who said: "Your Highness, the minister wants to count Qibai's crimes." ”
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, even Liu Yan was a little surprised, raised his hand and signaled him to say, only to hear him say loudly: "Qi Baifang made a lot of nonsense and was rude to the prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not blame him for being rude." Qibai should have been grateful, but he didn't, but instead forced him, which is one of them. ”
"Second, it is a great sin to be reasonable and reasonable, and to force each other to die. If Qibai survived, it would be his conspiracy that succeeded, and His Highness was forced by him to compromise helplessly, which was despicable. If Qi Bai hits the pillar and dies, then His Highness's death of the good minister will be recorded by the historian and scolded by the world, which is disloyalty. Liu Zhengsheng said this, and glanced at the people, "If His Royal Highness is scolded by the world because of this, then the ministers who were indifferent just now are Qibai's accomplices and should be punished together." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers knelt down one after another, and said hurriedly: "Please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers are stupid." ”
Liu Yan only went down the steps, waved his hand and said: "That's it, all the ministers are the pillars of the country, and you will have to rely on the ministers in the future, but you should remember in the future that in this hall, what should be said and what should not be said." ”
"Yes, the ministers must remember the teachings."
Among the many figures, only one person always maintained a standing posture, looking at Liu Yan coldly, Liu Yan also looked back at him, and slowly spit out a sentence: "As for General Qi, he will be punished with thirty rods." ”
In the midst of everyone's sighs, Liu Yan turned around and left in style.
Liu Yan and Liu Zhengsheng returned to the East Palace together, and to his surprise, Chu Shenxia didn't go out today, but sat honestly in the main hall and helped Liu Yan sort out the official documents.
"What's wrong with Your Highness? What happened this morning? Chu Shenxia saw him angry, waited for a while but didn't see him answer, so he moved his face to Liu Zhengsheng.
Liu Yan hurriedly opened his mouth to divert his attention, tilted his head and said, "You go and find the side concubine." ”
But as soon as the words came out, the other two were a little confused, there were only three of them in this hall, who was Liu Yan talking to, Chu Shenxia reacted and said, "I'll go." ”
"You don't need to go, Lu ......" As he spoke, he suddenly reacted that Lu Zhi was no longer there, and he showed a sad look.
He looked up at Chu Shenxia and said, "Do you remember that Quan Shilin who stole your book?" ”
Seeing Chu Shenxia nodded, he seemed to grit his teeth and said vigorously: "You can find a way to make him disappear in front of me forever." ”
"Disappear? I remember that he was the crown prince washing horses, didn't His Royal Highness want him to be on duty in the East Palace? Chu Shenxia didn't know what happened in the early dynasty, so he was puzzled by Liu Yan's words.
Liu Yan turned his head to look at him, and said with a straight face: "I hope he can disappear from this world." ”
Chu Shenxia and Liu Zhengsheng's eyes shook at the same time, Chu Shenxia looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, who he couldn't figure out, and felt a chill in his heart for some reason.
Could it be that the power of the throne is really so great? Can change a person's temperament so quickly? In the past, it was absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to come out of Liu Yu's mouth.
Although Liu Zhengsheng also trembled in his heart, he still calmly said to Chu Shenxia: "That's the case, this morning, Qi Bai and Li Yi forced His Royal Highness to hand over the side concubine, and Quan Shilin is Li Yi's eyeliner, and it was he who said that the side concubine was in the East Palace. ”
Chu Shenxia nodded, didn't say anything, looking at his appearance, he knew that he was out of danger in the end, but he was still a little unable to adapt to the sudden change of Liu Yan.
Just as Chu Shenxia turned around and walked out, he suddenly heard Liu Yan whisper from behind him, "I just don't want to die anymore, I should have agreed to what you said." If people are not ruthless enough, they will only die by themselves, and I will just die, and I should not affect you and the people. ”
