Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Difference Between the Princes
In front of the house of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a side of the wall, the south is "Kaifeng Mansion" three big characters, the north is a deer not a deer. A monster that looks like a sheep but is not a sheep, named 獬豸 (xiezhi), which is a legendary mythical beast that is said to be able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, loyal and treacherous. The pattern of the pig is engraved here to warn officials to enforce the law impartially and administer according to law. If he bends the law for personal gain, this pig will send him to the eighteenth layer of hell.
Today, the pigs in the north are still bright-eyed, and they are mighty outside the Kaifeng Mansion; And on the south side of the wall of the wall of Kaifeng Mansion under the three big characters, but there are several pieces of white silk pasted, the white silk is written on how to force people to die of the evil deeds, under the white silk squatting a few small eight or nine years old, the big fourteen or fifteen-year-old children.

Many people pointed to the words on the white silk on the wall and talked about it from ear to ear. Not far away, outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, the officials standing on both sides couldn't help but discuss.
"What's wrong with our Li participating in politics? Is it left to Kaifeng Mansion like this? ”
"I don't know, anyway, there is an order from above, this white silk will not be exposed, and no one will pick it up, as long as something big happens, let them leave it like this."
The officials were puzzled, and some sighed: "These children are pitiful, I heard that the woman who died yesterday was also from the Salesian Bureau." ”
A slightly older official said: "Take care of your duty, this case is not easy to decide, you haven't looked at the masters locked up inside, I think Li is in big trouble to participate in politics this time." ”
After a few horse roars, the official looked towards the Fucheng under the steps, and jumped down from the horse, led by a brocade robe trimmed with crimson gold thread, followed by six followers.
The officials hurriedly stood up straight, and waited for the man to come to the door, when one of the officials stopped and asked, "What is this official doing?" ”
"Go and call your Mansion Yin Li Shen! said that King Gao was coming" The man did not speak, and an attendant beside him drank.
The official turned white like that person, and said to Gao Gonghua: "Wait a minute, the king of the county, I'll go in and say goodbye!" ”
Gao Gonghui snorted, and the entourage said, "Don't go yet!" ”
The official walked into the mansion again, and scolded in his heart: What's the big deal about the king of the county, and the king is also the prince, so he doesn't see such arrogance and arrogance.
At this moment, Li Shenzheng in the council hall of Kaifeng Mansion said to the king: "King Zhennan, there are more and more people outside, and the discussion is getting louder and louder, do you want to remove all those words of condemnation?!" ”
The king said lightly: "The words can be removed, but the doubts in the hearts of the people can't be removed, let it go, and the people will stop talking when they are tired." ”
Li Shen nodded: "By the way, the prince seems to have a plan for how to deal with this matter?" Let's hear it. ”
"Li participates in politics, this matter is someone who wants to make a big fuss, but now the other party is in the dark, and we are in the light? Why do you want to make a big deal about it, this matter involves a lot of faces, and who the other party is targeting, I don't know anything now. My idea is very simple, let's downplay it first, and when the person who wants to make trouble jumps out, we will know how to solve it. Also, I have something else that is somewhat related to this case. Recently, I have heard some rumors about the Salesian Hospital, which belonged to the Ministry of Households, and was originally a welfare institution of the imperial court, but there were people who ran it privately. This is why a woman was sold as a courtesan, which led to this incident. ”
Li Shen asked, "Could it be that the prince also agrees with what Han Xiang said?" Isn't it a flirtatious thing for them to flirt with courtesans? ”
"Han Qi farts, of course the courtesans can't be teased, if you want to buy spring, you naturally have a place to buy spring! Of course, it is illegal to flirt, how can you ask the identity of the other party. I mean, the Salesian Institute is suspected of forcing good people into prostitution, buying and selling people, and defrauding the court of welfare money. It's just that there is no evidence now, so I can't tell the Holy One about this. If this case is big, there are benefits to making a big fuss, so let's just wait and see what happens! ”
"That'...... Lu Yushi's ......"
"Before the results of Kaifeng Mansion come out, of course Lu Yushi has no way to impeach."
A servant walked in and reported to Li Shenyu: "Li Shenzheng, the county king Gao Gonghua is here!" ”
Wang stood up: "Li participates in politics, before this matter has a result, don't disclose my thoughts to others~"
"Don't worry! Li will definitely judge this matter impartially. However, Ling Lang seems to have a secret and did not explain it to the official, does the prince want to meet him? ”
Wang Fang followed the official to the courtyard behind the Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion used to be a very familiar place next to the king, and now the old place is revisited, and the bricks and tiles of each courtyard are still fresh in the memory. The official led the king to the southwest of Kaifeng Mansion, and the southwest was the West Prison of the Mansion.
The West Prison was a place where criminal suspects and witnesses were temporarily held for arraignment, which was equivalent to the current detention center. Suspects are held here for no more than 40 days, and once sentenced, all but those on death row are held here for a few days to await the emperor's approval.
Before arriving in the West Prison, there are several small courtyards, one of which is under house arrest for Zhu Zizhen, Tong Guan and others.
Wang Pan walked into the courtyard, and the officials and guards said a few words, and then let Wang Pan into a room. "Lord Wang, you do it for a while, Tong Guan will bring it soon." After speaking, the official turned around and retreated outside the door to wait.
After a while, Tong Guan was brought in, and he could see that the little guy hadn't slept well this night, and his eyes were red. Seeing the king, Tong Guan felt close, and he was a little afraid in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The official guarding Tong Guan exited the room and closed the door with his backhand. Tong Guan lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.
Finally, Wang Bian broke the silence, sighed and said, "You kid......"
"Daddy, I know it's wrong!" Tong Guan said in a low voice.
"Oh? So tell me, what is wrong with you? ”
"I, I shouldn't have sneaked out of the house"
The king groaned slightly, and then said, "When I was your age, I was crazier than you. Not only out of the house, but also out of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao. But it didn't kill anyone! ”
"I ......" Tong Guan wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with him, but who would believe it? Besides, yesterday Li Shen asked him that he didn't say that he saw the situation, so let him say it now? Don't look at Tong Guan's age, but he also understands the stakes. Who is Zhu Zi really? That's the concubine's younger brother! Gao Gongji, that is the nephew of the Queen Mother and the cousin of the Emperor. Han Shijin, that's the prime minister's son. Now I am a grasshopper on a skipping rope with them, even if I wash it clean this time, how will I mix outside in the future.
How could he hide it from the king when he was so careful.
Wang Bian walked to Tong Guan's side, and said in a slow and kind tone: "I believe that my righteous son Tong Guan is by no means a wicked person who bullies men and women, and there must be something hidden in this matter." ”
Tong Guan looked up at the king, and hurriedly lowered his head again.
Wang asked next to him: "Guan'er is very righteous, and they are very anxious when they hear that something happened to you." ”
Thinking of the friends who are usually together, Tong Guan is a little sad, if you want to talk about brotherhood, he and that brother are brothers.
Seeing a trace of remorse on Tong Guan's face, Wang Bi then asked, "By the way, how could Guan'er drink with Zhu Zizhen and them?" ”
"Well, I didn't know them well, but yesterday Gao Yu came to me and said that he was talking about the Keju Competition, so I went."
Oh? The eyebrows next to the king raised: "So, are they your friends anymore?" ”
"They weren't my friends either, but, just ......"
"It's just that Guan'er has a good face, and I'm afraid that outsiders will say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you will push it clean when you encounter something, right?!"
Tong Guan was told by the king that he was in his heart, so he could only hum softly.
Wang pat Tong Guan on the shoulder: "Look at me, tell me what we are?" ”
"I'm your son, you're my son!"
"What about the other than that?!"
Tong Guan shook his head.
"In addition to our fathers and sons, we are also good friends! In this way, I am not biased towards myself, even if you force that girl to death with you here, I would rather the world point at me and say that I am biased! I'm going to get you out too! Wang pat Tong Guan on the shoulder.
"Dad~" Tong Guan's voice choked.
"Huh?" Wang Fang stared into Tong Guan's eyes.
Tong Guan wiped his tears and said, "Dad, what you said is right, it's all the child's fault." I can't let the world blame you, Daddy, those bastards have nothing to do with me, I have an egg to protect them! ”
Wang Fang had a look of surprise: "So, you didn't tell the truth to Li Shenzheng?" ”
Tong Guan blushed: "They are in the room, touching the girl's chest and pulling the girl's clothes, I ...... I...... I was embarrassed to look at it and hid out. When she went back, the girl jumped off the building. When he said it, he applied with guilt.
"Hmmm! Good boy! You're doing the right thing, the only thing that's wrong is that you shouldn't play with them. ”
Tong Guan didn't reprimand much when he saw that the king was beside him, but affirmed himself first, and his heart warmed for a while.
"Dad, don't worry, if the hall is opened again, I will definitely report it according to the truth!"
"Good! Then you stay here, I'll find a way to get you home as soon as possible! ”
Tong Guan said the matter, and his heart was relieved.
Wang Fang was planning in his heart how to lure out the people behind him who wanted to make a big deal out of it, and knew his purpose, and the most important thing was to find out about the Salesian Bureau, and immediately Kaifeng Mansion was the mansion of Zeng Gongliang, the stupid prime minister.
The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, evaluation, promotion, and transfer of officials throughout the country, and is placed in the Organization Department, which is equivalent to the management of official personnel in modern times. To know the position of officials, it has to go to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu is also the Minister of Organization, which was only an official rank in the Song Dynasty. Today's official secretary is the prime minister Zeng Gongliang, and if you want to investigate the Salesian Bureau, you must first know who the official in charge of the household department is.
Wang immediately opened the Feng Mansion, and Li Shenzheng was entangled by Gao Gongji's head.
"Anyway, I have to see my brother."
Li Shen said, "I'm afraid this is not good, this matter has already alarmed the Holy ......."
"Doesn't Li Shenzheng know the relationship between our brothers and the saints today? You hurry up and release the people......"
"Lord Wang, it's really difficult for the lower officials to obey their fate!"
Gao Gonghua hurriedly took out a piece of yellow silk: "The Queen Mother Yi is here, don't you want to see it?" ”
