Chapter 176 Zhu Youjiao, do you still remember the Chongming Palace back then?
Li Jieyuan was arrested by the government!
Wang Tuanlian was very remorseful, he was cowardly for a while before letting the housekeeper Wang Xi come back from Dongying first, but he didn't expect that this slave was drunk and misbehaved, and actually affected Li Jieyuan.
It's all a mistake! Although Wang Xi, the minion, was dismissed, Wang Tuanlian still felt that he had the responsibility to rescue Li Ling from prison.
"My lord, I have a love in return!". In front of the gate of Suncheonfu. Wang Tuanlian finally mustered up the courage to beat the Dengwen drum, and immediately a servant brought him into the court.
No one has come here to cry out for many days, and the people are also very curious, and for a time many people gathered outside the gate of the government to hear the trial.
"My lord, Li Jieyuan is wronged, he led his troops to level the sea frontier, and he has a meritorious service to the country, it is all the nonsense of my retainers, please forgive Li Jieyuan as the master!" Wang Tuanlian knelt on the ground and explained his intention.
The prefect frowned, it turned out to be because of this incident. He was a little hesitant, Li Jieyuan's matter had already spread in the capital, and he naturally knew the reason for the matter.
But this matter has been taken over by Jinyiwei, and the prisoner is imprisoned in the Suppression Division, if he asks about this case again, he may offend Jinyiwei.
finally survived to today's position, how could he let a Xie Yuan ruin his future?
"Wang Tuanlian, I heard that Li Ling abandoned your subordinates in the war and caused you heavy losses, why do you still speak for him?"
The prefect decided to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, as long as Wang Tuanlian remembered the grievances between the two and he no longer stood up for Li Ling, then everything would be fine.
"My lord, at that time, I was greedy and wanted to snatch the credit of Li Jieyuan, and my ships were intertwined with the Japanese invaders, even if Li Jieyuan wanted to open artillery to help, he couldn't do it!" So far, Wang Tuanlian has no choice but to tell the truth of the matter.
You have to be responsible for what you have done, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, and cowardly things are not something that Wang Tuanlian can do.
"This man is really stubborn!". The prefect saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had a plan in his mind, and said to Wang Tuanlian with a smile: "You are guilty of openly slandering Jinyiwei, according to the regulations, even if you want to clear the wrongs of others, you need to receive thirty killings first, are you willing to bear it?" βγ
"The grass people are willing!". Wang Tuanlian replied without thinking.
Thirty sticks, two servants pressed him to the ground and whipped him vigorously.
Wang Tuanlian was beaten and his skin was open, but he still supported his body with his hands and said: "My lord, what I said is the truth, and the group training envoys who went to sea together can testify to me!" My lord, if you don't believe it, you can let people go to the southeast coast to inspect it, and who family doesn't miss Li Jieyuan's good? βγ
"It turns out that Li Jieyuan was really wronged, he pacified Haijiang, and he shouldn't suffer this kind of humiliation!"
"Wang Xi, this dog slave is really hateful, if it weren't for him to spread rumors and make trouble, how could those traitorous villains in the court have a chance? He not only harmed Li Jieyuan, but also implicated his own master, which is really hateful! βγ
Wang Tuanlian was willing to be punished, and he also had to clear his name for Li Ling. It can be seen that Li Jieyuan was really framed, and the onlookers talked a lot, and they all hoped that the prefect could handle it impartially and give Li Ling justice.
Wang Tuanlian supported his body with both hands and continued to explain to the prefect: "Although the regimental training went to sea relatively late, everyone generally had contact with the soldiers under Li Jieyuan's jurisdiction, and we all knew how to fight!" βγ
Wang Tuanlian talked eloquently, Li's subordinates were all his own villagers, but they paid the price of hundreds of people, Dachang Qianzhuang in order to cope with this war, countless silver, Li Ling almost invested all his own profits.
Such a selfless person is framed, can everyone turn a blind eye?
"Can't!". The crowd of onlookers listened to the naval battle, and their hearts could not be calm, and everyone shouted for a clear decision from the prefect.
The prefect had no choice but to agree to write the facts as an excerpt and forward it to the emperor, and everything had to be decided by the imperial court.
In the afternoon dynasty, the life and death of a little Xie Yuan became the focus of everyone's discussion.
The courtiers were obviously divided into two factions, and the ministers headed by Liu Ji thought that although Li Ling had some merits, he also had a sense of arrogance, and he assassinated the Dongying envoy first, and lied that the Ming envoy was the last, which was really a heinous crime, and he deserved to be punished!
However, the people of Li Dongyang's faction thought that the generals would not be subject to foreign military orders, and it was still possible to make a decision on the spot, after all, he had to face the entire Japanese pirates with thousands of regimental training, and even if he really absorbed the pirates, it was a matter of course.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and the emperor was embarrassed, so he had no choice but to reserve his opinion for the time being and discuss it later.
Elder Li Ge was anxious, seeing that the scientific expedition was imminent, how could this matter be delayed any longer?
At the time of the retreat, the hundred officials had not yet dispersed, and Li Ge Lao took the lead to kneel down on the square outside Fengtianmen, and he wanted to persuade His Majesty the Emperor with this kind of law.
Ever since he received a letter from an old friend during the township test, he has treated this maverick young man as his nephew.
Three years is too long, enough for a person who has the heart to serve the country to do a lot of things.
The old man in his fifties knelt down in the square like this, he wanted to seek justice for Li Ling.
Seeing the teacher like this, Li's protΓ©gΓ©s all went to the square one by one and knelt down.
Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Liu Mansion and others saw their old friends like this, and they also knelt down in the square.
The cold and biting north wind blew, and several old people shivered from the cold.
The little yellow door on duty couldn't see it, so he ordered someone to move a few screens to block the wind for several old adults, and at the same time find someone to report to the emperor!
Coincidentally, this scene happened to be seen by Liu Jin, and after he reprimanded Xiao Huangmen, he ordered someone to remove the screen again!
Anyone who tries to exonerate Li Ling is embarrassed by him! Liu Jin was resentful in his heart, and even the emperor couldn't make up his mind, these people actually wanted to blackmail the emperor in this way.
If you want to save Li Ling, go dream! Liu Jin has served the crown prince for many years, and he naturally knows that the emperor is a very assertive person.
When the time came for Li Ge to teach the scriptures, the prince waited in the East Palace for a long time and did not see him appear.
Li Ge is always a punctual person, and he definitely won't be late casually.
"Elder Li Ge and a cadre of courtiers are kneeling outside the Fengtian Gate, and they are outside Li Ling and Li Xie Yuan pleading!".
The prince summoned the eunuchs around him to find out the reason. The result surprised him, Li Xie Yuan was in trouble.
At this moment, he remembered the bits and pieces of the two together.
Li Ling took care of himself in the Li family's house.
When there was a war at sea, he always protected himself behind him!
The prince desperately ran towards the queen's bedchamber. He knew that if there was anyone in this world who could change the emperor's attitude, it would be his mother.
The relationship between the two has been the same for decades, and it has not changed at all!
A will was passed out, and the emperor asked Li Ge Lao and the others to leave, and he promised to spare Li Ling's life no matter what the outcome was.
When Li Ge dragged his tired body home, he found that he had another letter in his study.
When he opened the letter, the hands of the normally rock-solid assistant trembled.
Early the next morning, the emperor also found a letter in the imperial study, accompanied by a jade pendant, and the letter said a sentence: Zhu Youjiao, do you remember the Chongming Palace back then?
The jade pendant is exactly the same as the one he gave to the prince.
The familiar handwriting jumped on the paper, and the emperor's thoughts drifted to the Chongming Palace thirty years ago.
"The way of the university lies in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in the supreme goodness."
"Zi said: 'Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know, but they are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?'. β
Zhu Youzhang's childhood was spent in Chongming Palace, and his enlightenment was his mother Concubine Ji.
Many years later, he still thinks of those happy days of coarse tea and light rice, and in his dreams, he has seen his mother's innocent smile more than once.
The Emperor once again recognized the handwriting on the paper, and he suddenly slumped into his chair. (To be continued.) )
