Chapter 1745: Deep Harmony
To be precise, Wang Gui committed suicide by hanging a beam. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}
Just last night, Wang Gui first gathered his family for a reunion dinner, and then hugged his favorite concubine and rested early. When the little concubine woke up in the middle of the night, she found that Wang Gui had been hanged on the beam of the room, and there was still a suicide note at the head of the bed.
In this suicide note, Wang Gui explained in detail the reason for his suicide, that is, Guo Yegong had a personal vendetta and detained the glazed vessels belonging to the five major scholars. Wang Gui had no face to face the five major clans, and he could only thank him for his death
Wang Gui is dead, but he still has a son. He had two sons, the eldest son, Wang Chongji, and the younger son, Wang Jingzhi. Wang Chongji is just a small criminal department.
But Wang Jingzhi is terrible, although his official position is not high, he is the husband of Princess Nanping, the third daughter of His Majesty Li Er. In other words, he is the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er.
His old father was forced to die, how could he be a son and give up at that time, it was too late, and the palace gate had already been locked. So, Wang Jingzhi and Princess Nanping beat the Dengwen drum together, called His Majesty Li Er from the bed, and asked him to administer justice to Wang Gui, an old in-law.
His Majesty Li Er comforted the two of them with warm words, and finally persuaded the two to leave.
As soon as the drums sounded, the news that Wang Gui was forced to death by Guo Ye quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, as if he had grown wings
Guo Ye listened to Sun Zishan's story, and couldn't help but scream secretly, it's over, it's a big trouble now
Mazi is not pockmark, Wang Gui, this Nima is a pit person, there is a way, and people are dying, and their words are good. As soon as his suicide note came out, without any evidence, I, Guo Ye, had to bear the personal vendetta of the communiqué and force the old prime minister to death
It is foreseeable that above the court this morning, I will be attacked by countless officials and imperial historians
Chinese people pay attention to human death, and I am afraid that even my allies will not speak for me. When the time comes, will I still be able to fight the crowd with my eloquence, but the problem is that I really don't take care of this matter
What can I do?
Guo Ye thought about it for a long time, and finally just came up with a way that was not a solution, that is, to use the procrastination trick Guo Ye gave His Majesty Li Er a recital, saying that he was not feeling well and could not go to court.
If he doesn't go to the court, of course, it doesn't mean the end of the matter. In the early dynasty, the anti-Guo alliance led by Wei Ting, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, together with a large number of imperial historians who did not know the truth, launched a severe impeachment of Guo Ye, and even demanded that the Dade Temple case be re-investigated
As for His Majesty Li Er, he had a good relationship with Guo Ye, and he also used the procrastination trick, and put the matter on hold for the time being on the grounds that Qin Guogong was not feeling well and could not confront him face-to-face.
In the following days, the impeachment of Guo Ye flew into the palace like snowflakes, but all of them were left by His Majesty Li Er.
Of course, it can be delayed for a while, but it can't be delayed for a lifetime. This wave of impeachment can be said to be unprecedentedly huge, and almost everyone believes that Guo Ye is doomed. The best result is just to resign from all official positions and become a rich idler, just like Zhang Liang, the prince of the country.
On this day, Guo Ye was sitting suffocating, and suddenly his father-in-law came to deliver the decree, saying that His Majesty Li Er had summoned him.
Guo Ye understands that it is useless to pretend to be sick now. He tidied up his clothes, shook his spirits, and followed his father-in-law Shun to the familiar Wangbei Pavilion.
"Minister Guo Ye, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live"
"Arise, Throne"
"Your Majesty"
As soon as Guo Ye sat down, he heard His Majesty Li Er sigh heavily, and said, "Guo Ye, you are too disappointed."
Guo Ye was so frightened that he quickly knelt down again, and said: "Weichen has a negative grace, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish the crime, but before you punish the crime, Weichen still has a few words to say."
"You Speak"
"Your Majesty, have you ever remembered that when you investigated the case of Tianfu Monk, Weichen once told you that the mastermind behind this case is likely to be the five major scholars."
Then, Guo Ye talked about his grievances and grievances with the five great scholars, and finally he said: "Although Weichen does not have definite evidence of the rebellion of the five great scholars, it can be inferred from all kinds of clues that the five great scholars have plotted against each other and have already become a big problem for my Datang."
Guo Ye kowtowed and continued: "Although it is true that Weichen has a little selfishness in dealing with the five major scholars, but more importantly, it is for the sake of His Majesty's Jiangshan Society."
"Hmph, even if what you say has some truth, you declare personal vendetta and deal with the five great scholars, I can not pursue it for the time being. But Wang Gui's death, how are you going to explain it?"
Death is great, Guo Ye couldn't think of any excuses, so he had to kneel on the ground and say: "Wechen is willing to accept the guilt"
His Majesty Li Er ignored him, stood up, and paced back and forth in the main hall. In the end, he stopped and said to the eunuch and palace maid beside him: "I have important matters to discuss with the Duke of Qin, you all go down."
"Yes"
Ping retreated left and right, walked to Guo Ye's approach, helped Guo Ye up, and said, "Good job"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about" Guo Ye couldn't believe his ears.
His Majesty Li Er said: "I mean that you first ruined Wang Gui's reputation, and then forced him to death, you did a really good job, which is deeply in line with my intentions."
Guo Ye was as confused as a monk at this time, and he said, "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that Weichen disappointed you too much?"
"What you disappointed me was not that you forced Wang Gui to death. But after this happened, he actually became a turtle with a shrunken head, and let me bear the pressure of hundreds of officials alone."
Guo Ye blushed and explained: "There are some things that can only be said to you alone, but you can't say them in the court." When the time came, Wei Chen was really speechless. I just wanted to delay for a while and see if I could come up with a good way to resolve the matter, and it turned out to be a good solution."
"As a result, I still don't remember anything."
"Exactly."
His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly, and said: "Guo Ye, you are really smart, I am confused, and there are many ways to resolve this matter for a while, and I can come up with several after a little thought."
Guo Ye was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty is the pride of the sky, wise and natural, how can Weichen compare to what the hell is the method, and I hope that Your Majesty will solve Weichen's doubts." ”
"This first method, in fact, you have already thought of it, that is, to submerge all those glass utensils into the palace. As long as I accept those glass vessels worth tens of millions, the two of us will become grasshoppers on a rope. ”
His Majesty Li Er said proudly: "Whoever says that he wants me to cure your sins is tantamount to persuading me to give up tens of millions of dollars. How many people do you say will have the courage to touch my moldy head?"
Of course, Guo Ye thought about this idea, but the premise was that His Majesty Li Er was willing to accept it. And even if His Majesty Li Er is willing to accept it, this method is not without flaws. Guo Ye said: "There are still a few people in the court who are loyal and dare to advise, such as the Zhongshu Ling Wei Zheng Wei."
His Majesty Li Er said: "Wei Zheng said well. I don't believe how clean he is in the case of the Tianfu monk. You must have his handle in your hand, not at this time, but when."
"That's fine. But even if the officials don't speak, there is still Princess Nanping."
"Those glass vessels, I will divide them into two and give them to Nanping. Hmph, how good do you think the relationship between Nanping and Wang Gui is, in fact, she just had to make some gestures because of Wang Jingzhi's face."
"And this thing"
"That's nature, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father. As long as I show my attitude to protect you, and give her some glass utensils, she will no longer embarrass you. That is, the Wang brothers are not easy to deal with, but just the two of them can't set off any storms. ”
Guo Ye kowtowed again and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." However, if this matter is pressed like this, although Wechen can pass the test smoothly. But it's a big detriment to your reputation. I don't know what this second solution is."
