Chapter 181: Advance and retreat

Chapter 181 There is a degree of advance and retreat

After Wang Yuanhua and Tie Qiu left, Yue Su looked at the kneeling generals in the hall, his face became pleasant, and said, "Generals, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, ...... you."

This group of people were numb on their knees, and with the good play of the right talents, they even forgot that they were still kneeling on the ground. At this moment, as soon as Yue Su said it, they reacted and returned, and they got up one after another. Zhang Dali, the injury is too serious, and he can't get up alone.

Yue Su hurriedly got up and said, "Someone, quickly help General Zhang up, go to the side to rest, and invite Lang Zhong to come to the post." ”

An errand officer picked up Zhang Dali, found a chair, and asked him to sit down on the side. At this time, Yue Su said again: "Yue is late, let you be frightened, here, this official here, I apologize to you, and please rest assured that Yue will definitely seek justice for you." ”

After speaking, Yue Su bowed deeply to the generals in the hall.

"You're welcome." "Relying on Lord Yue to come to the rescue, otherwise, I don't know how to die." "Yes, yes, we should thank Master Yue for being talented......

These people had already comprehended Yue Su's power, so they hurriedly stammered. Yue Su invited them to stand aside and watch how he was angry for them. After a while, Yin Zhu came back to his life, "Lord Qiqi, when I arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Dadian was not there, and later went to his house, but I saw that he had committed suicide by hanging a beam in his study at home. In Zhu Dadian's study, there were two dead bodies, these two died of poisoning, and we had to bring the bodies and his family back. Xing'er, a prostitute in Piaoxiang Courtyard, has been brought and is waiting outside the hall. ”

"It's ...... dead" Yue Su couldn't help but sigh and said, "Bring in both Xing'er and the corpse." ”

After a while, the messenger brought the three corpses, the prostitute Xing'er, and the Zhu family to the hall.

In Yue Su's eyes, Zhu Dadian is just an official with a big sesame seed, so he doesn't know him. Let Luo Yangxing identify it, there is no doubt that there are three people. I also asked the family of Zhu Fu, but the family members did not know about it, and it can be seen from the words and expressions that there is no need in the words.

Yue Su interrogated Xing'er again, and Xing'er began to quibble, but Yue Su was a little frightened, and he revealed the truth, but he accepted Cen Zongwan two hundred taels of silver, and cooperated with the acting, and he really didn't know anything else.

The clues here have been broken, although it shows that they know that this matter is related to the Donglin Party, there is no conclusive evidence, Han Yi is the first assistant, and if he wants to deal with him, there is no ironclad evidence, it can't be done at all.

On the other side, Tie Qiu and Wang Yuanhua also returned from Luo's Mansion and presented the letter. It was an anonymous letter, and I don't know who wrote it.

After reading the letter, Yue Su fell into deep thought, and now he thought that it was not who wrote the letter, but how to deal with Luo Yangxing. After thinking about it for a long time, Yue Su looked at the clerk's office and said, "The confession can be recorded." ”

"Hui, Hui, Hui's words, have already ......been recorded," the clerk stammered.

"Present it to me."

"Yes, my lord......"

The secretary office hurriedly presented the confession to Yue Su, and Yue Su read it, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Take it to Luo Yangxing and let him sign it." ”

The secretary took the confession to Luo Yangxing, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, how dare Lord Luo not sign and draw the charge, and act honestly and obediently, and waited until the confession was handed over to Yue Su again, Yue Su glanced at it, put it on the case, and then slapped the table with a heavy bang, and said sharply: "Okay, you Luo Yangxing, framing Zhongliang, disregarding people's lives, and ignoring the great cause of suppressing bandits in the court, do you know what crime you should be guilty of!" ”

"Xiaguan is guilty, and please ask the adults to show mercy outside the law, and ...... lightly" Luo Yangxing has completely softened, and his heart is extremely afraid. He knew that Yue Su would definitely report this matter to the emperor and the queen mother, and he would definitely die at that time. I am afraid that the inheritance passed down by my ancestors will also be destroyed.

"Fall lightly! What you think is beautiful, with your current crimes, it is really impossible to atone for your sins. Someone! Take the tiger's head and wait! Yue Su said loudly. …,

With three copper guils, Yue Su never left his body, and almost took him wherever he went. This is a gift from the emperor, and it has a lot to stake, so if you are not around, once you have a mistake, you have to take your life. To put it mildly, these three copper guillotines are the same as his life.

"Yes, sir!" Tie Qiu immediately called the messenger, moved the tiger head on the side to the bottom of the steps, "brushed" the ground, and removed the yellow satin on it.

What this guillotine is used for, everyone in the world knows, let alone Luo Yang. As soon as he saw the tiger's head, Luo Yangxing was almost frightened, and kowtowed again and again and said: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......

"You have committed a sin that will not be atoned for, and if I don't kill you today, how can I make an example! Open the guillotine! ”

With Yue Su's shout, Tie Qi pulled out the guillotine, and the edge of the knife was shining with blue light, which was extremely terrifying. Huzi picked up Luo Yangxing and pressed it under the knife.

"Ga ......"

At this moment, Luo Yang's sex completely collapsed, not to mention incontinence, and the person also passed out.

"Guillotine!"

Yue Su let out a loud shout and settled, followed by "Click!" With a bang, Luo Yangxing's head fell to the ground, and blood was splattered everywhere.

"Ah......" In the lobby, everyone who saw this scene exclaimed, and then, the lobby was as silent as death. Almost everyone can hear their own heartbeat.

"Luo Yangxing just died, so let Lord Yue give him a ......" "That's the commander of the Jinyi Guard...... The Son of Heaven is close to the minister...... Lord Yue didn't even ask for a decree...... and put the man ...... away"......

All the people were dumbfounded, and the fear of those brocade-clothed guards had reached the extreme. As Jinyi Guards, they are very proud, the Son of Heaven is pro-army. However, the dignified commander of the Jinyi Guard would die in the hall of his own commander, this kind of thing, everyone never thought of it.

Those generals have long heard of the majesty of the Jinyi Guard, but they didn't expect that the legendary majestic Jinyi Guard's commander, Lord Yue said that he would kill him, and there was no difference between slaughtering a chicken.

Yue Su's face sank like water, and the people under him seemed to be no different from usual, as if such things were commonplace and nothing.

"Hang Luo's head outside the door of the commanding envoy, and no one is allowed to take it off without authorization, and the offender will be beheaded immediately. Zhu Dadian, Cen Zongwan, and Sun Shucai were all beheaded, and their heads were hung outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one was allowed to take them off without authorization. Post the list and tell the whole city. Yue Su commanded loudly.

"Yes!" ……

"No one is allowed to leave without permission, and all of them are left here. Bring all the confessions here and follow the official into the palace to face the saint. ”

"Something is wrong! Lord Yue has returned to Beijing, and he has also appointed Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and his head is now hanging outside the Jinyi Guard's command envoy! ”……

The entire capital was shocked, and the news spread throughout the entire capital at an unparalleled speed.

With such a major news, Dongchang will naturally get it as soon as possible. At the same time that Lord Yue rushed to the Forbidden City, Dongchang Fanzi sent the news to the palace as quickly as possible. Such a big event, the stall in charge of espionage knew that the matter was serious, and hurriedly rushed to Cining Palace.

"The Empress Dowager, Fang Ming, the head of the first room of the East Factory, asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent matter and he wanted to report to the Empress Dowager."

In Cining Palace, Zhang Yan was talking to Zou Yi, and when they heard that Fang Ming asked to see him, both of them were stunned. Then, Zhang Yan said, "Call him in." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Before long, the door of the hall opened, and a middle-aged eunuch in his forties walked in, this person was Fang Ming. He took a few steps forward, knelt down and said, "Slave Fang Ming knocks on the Queen Mother." ”

"Get up. What's wrong, so anxious to see the mourning family? Zhang Yan said lightly.

"If I go back to the Queen Mother, I got the news that Lord Yue has returned to Beijing, and he is still commanding the envoy in Jinyiwei to kill Lord Luo, and Lord Luo's head is now hanging outside the gate of the commanding envoy." Fang Ming hurriedly said. …,

"What? What did you say? Yue Su returned to Beijing? He also killed Luo Yang's ......," Zhang Yan said incredulously.

"Yes, Queen Mother. According to the news, Yue Su was rushing towards the palace. Fang Ming said.

"This ...... What's going on......" Zhang Yanfeng raised her eyebrows and asked loudly, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"The slave doesn't know what the specific reason is, but not long ago, there was news that Jinyiwei went to raid the mansions of Zhang Dali, Zhang Xianzhong and other generals, and took these generals into the command department." Fang Ming said truthfully.

As Dongchang, the big and small affairs in the capital basically can't escape their eyes, let alone such a big thing. Although this matter is also serious, it is much worse than the murder of Luo Yangxing, plus he heard that Zou Yi was seeing the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, so he planned to show him after Zou Yi came out. No, as soon as Zou Yi entered Cining Palace, he didn't come out for a long time.

"Jinyiwei captured all those generals, what's going on, Jinyiwei arrested the officials, that is to ask the emperor for instructions, why haven't the mourning family heard of it." Zhang Yan said angrily.

"This ...... The slave doesn't know......" Fang Ming saw Zhang Yan's angry face and replied cautiously.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Lord Yue handed a sign outside the palace gate to ask to see ......" This kung fu, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the palace.

Generally speaking, when the Queen Mother meets guests, if someone asks to see her, she will rarely report it immediately, at least until the person the Queen Mother is seeing now comes out. However, Yue Su is different, everyone knows Lord Yue's temper, who dares to spread it late, if you let Lord Yue wait for a long time, you will lose your head.

"...... so quickly" Zhang Yan hesitated slightly, and said: "Fang Ming, you go down first, after you go out, pass the word on behalf of the mourning family, and ask Lord Yue to see you in the imperial study." ”

"The slave obeys." Fang Ming kowtowed and retreated, and went out to pass the word.

Besides, Zhang Yan turned her head to look at Zou Yi, who was sitting at the bottom of her hand, and said: "Zou Qing, didn't Yue Su say in the letter that he wanted to ask for a request to return to Beijing to see the emperor and discuss the matter of King Fu's fiefdom, as well as about the matter of those generals, why did they also come back?" What the hell is going on? ”

"Queen Mother, this old slave doesn't know, this letter was handed over to the old slave by Yue Su's subordinates this morning, and the old slave rushed here immediately, I really don't know why Yue Su has entered the capital." Zou Yi said tremblingly.

It was not easy for the old man to drag his sick body to help Yue Su pass the letter, but as soon as he entered Cining Palace, after Zhang Yan read the letter, he studied the content of the letter with Zou Yi and Yue Su's intentions. Zou Yi didn't speak coherently, but fortunately, Zhang Yan was also a person who respected the elderly, so he didn't urge, and gave him a seat and let his henchmen serve by his side.

"Fang Ming's words just now, the Qing family also heard it, and all the generals of the Jinyi Guard have all been taken to the capital command envoys, and there must be a reason for this. Qing family, can you probably guess what is going on? Zhang Yan asked again.

"Luo Yangxing, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, should know the rules for arresting court officials, although this class of generals, although they are only hanging on to their positions, they have no power or power, but they are of high grade, and if they want to be captured, they must ask the emperor for orders. He didn't have a purpose to capture, what was his intention, the old slave didn't dare to make a judgment, but one thing, the old slave did know, once Luo Yangxing killed these generals, or how, the news reached the front line in Luoyang, it was bound to shake the hearts of the army, under the command of Lord Yue, after all, there was still a group of generals to serve him. If those generals learn that the court has rebelled, it is also possible that they will make trouble again. If you move your whole body, I am afraid that the achievements of Lord Yue before will come to naught. As for saying that Lord Yue will suddenly appear in Jingshi, after the previous analysis, the old slave is wondering if Lord Yue has come back secretly, just waiting for the Queen Mother to summon him. However, because of Luo's sexual affairs, Lord Yue had no choice but to show up. Zou Yi finished his words for a long time. …,

"What the Qing family said is reasonable, easy to do, the mourning family will accompany the emperor to the imperial study to wait for Yue Qing. When I come back, I still have something to say to the Qing family, and the Qing family will wait here, and a few of them will serve well. After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she stood up.

"Yes, the Queen Mother ......" The four cronies and palace maids in the palace hurriedly agreed.

"The old slave obeys ......"

Zhang Yan left Cining Palace and asked people to go to the emperor and meet in the imperial study. She took the first step to the imperial study, and in a moment, the little emperor Zhu Ciyan also arrived. After saluting her mother, Zhang Yan asked her son to sit in the center and sit next to her.

Soon, a little eunuch reported outside the study, saying that Lord Yue had arrived.

"Chuan Yueqing meets ......"

As soon as Zhu Ciyan gave the order, the eunuch outside the door shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order, and Lord Chuan Yue will come to the imperial study to meet him." ”

Yue Su was just outside the door, and then stepped inside, a few steps forward, "Minister Yue Su knocked to see my emperor long live long live, long live long live, the queen mother thousand years old thousand thousand years old...... said, then lifted his clothes and bowed.

"The Qing family is quickly flattened." Without waiting for Yue Su to kneel, Zhu Ciyan spoke first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

"Come on, show Yue Qing's family." Zhu Ciyan commanded again.

"Your Majesty Xie......"

Immediately, the little eunuch moved a chair and asked Yue Su to sit down. Yue Su didn't sit down immediately, waited until the little eunuch retreated, picked up his clothes again and knelt on the ground, and said, "Weichen Yue Su, I hereby ask Your Majesty for ...... guilt."

"Yue Qing, why are you doing this? The Qing family is rebellious for the country, and they work hard and make great achievements, what is the crime? If you have anything to say, sit down and say. Zhu Ciyan said with a pleasant face.

"The minister didn't dare...... The ministers were ordered to rebel, but now they have no intention to enter Beijing, and Shicai also used the tiger head given by the first emperor to kill the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing, the crime is extremely evil, I really dare not get up, just wait for Your Majesty to fall......" Yue Su said in a sincere voice.

Hearing this, Zhu Ciyan, who was not deeply involved in the world, was also stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at his mother.

"Ahem...... Zhang Yan cleared her throat and said, "The Qing family got up and spoke first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Queen Mother......" Yue Su stood up, but did not sit aside.

"The Qing family is the second assistant of the dynasty, and it is also the minister entrusted by the first emperor, although he is out to rebel, but if he has something to return to Beijing, why do he need to ask for a decree. As for what Aiqing Shicai said, he used the tiger head given by the first emperor to kill the Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing, the first emperor had already said, but as long as the evidence is conclusive, up to the Fengzi Dragon Sun, Aiqing can cut it first and then play, not to mention a Jinyi Guard commander. The Qing family sat down first, and explained why you returned to Beijing and why you killed Luo. Zhang Yan smiled, and she helped Yue Su erase the two charges he had asked, but this is also the case. Lord Yue's plea for such a offense may just be polite, our royal family, of course, we have to be polite.

"The minister obeys the order...... Yue Su then sat down to the side, and then bowed and said: "The reason why the minister returned to Beijing is because of the matter of King Fu's change of fiefdom and these generals. The minister had already asked people to bring the secret fold into Beijing and handed it to the master of ceremonies, Zou Gonggong, and asked him to forward it to His Majesty and the Queen Mother on his behalf, and asked him to enter Beijing to discuss the matter. After hesitating and the matter was urgent, the minister rushed to Tongzhou to wait after submitting the secret fold, and only waited for the emperor to summon him, and the minister entered Beijing. I don't want to, I got the news today, Jinyi Wei captured all the generals, although I didn't know at the time, what happened to those generals, but the former enemy was nervous, once these generals made a mistake, it was bound to cause panic among the former enemy generals, and it was very unfavorable to pacify the Liukou. Inevitably, the matter was big and affected the plans of the imperial court, and the minister had no choice but to enter Beijing and go to the command of the embassy to inquire about the matter. I didn't want to, but when I arrived at the command of the envoy, I learned that Luo Yangxing did not ask for an order before capturing a group of generals, but arrested the court officials without a will. Through detailed inquiry, the minister also learned that Luo Yangxing was instigated by Zhu Dadian, who experienced the experience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and wanted to beat a group of generals into a trick, so that they framed Weichen with the intention of rebellion. The minister asked what was going on, and sent someone to arrest Zhu Dadian and others to testify in front of the court, but unexpectedly, these three people actually hanged themselves. The existing confession is here, and a witness will be remanded to the Jinyi Guard's command envoy, which can be interrogated by His Majesty at any time. ”…,

Yue Su had been dragging all the confessions with his right hand, and now he held them above his head.

"Bring it in." Zhang Yan instructed a little eunuch to take the confession and put it on the case of the dragon book.

Next, Zhang Yan and Zhu Ciyan watched each other, and after reading it, everything became clear.

"Yue Qing, since this matter has been revealed, Luo Yang is innocent of death. After passing the decree, the Luo family was demoted to a common people, and the descendants were no longer allowed to inherit the official position of Jinyiwei, and they would never be used. The families of Zhu Dadian, Cen Zongwan, and Sun Shucai, as well as that Xing'er, Lord Yue can dispose of them according to the law. Zhang Yan said calmly.

"Obey." Yue Su bowed and said.

"This matter has been revealed, and the matter that Yue Qing's family wants to discuss with His Majesty about King Fu and the generals can now be talked about. The former enemy is in tense fighting, and try to resolve it as quickly as possible. Zhang Yan said again.

"Wechen obeys." Yue Su bowed, and then said: "Regarding the matter of King Fu's fief, the emperor means that King Fu is still in Luoyang, and the fief in the mansion, if it has been allocated to the displaced people, he will seek land compensation in other places." The minister thought that there was something wrong with this matter, the fief of King Fu was 20,000 pours, when the god was sealed, the land in Henan was not enough, and it was to be allocated from other places, but now, most of the land in Henan has been barren, and the minister in order to appease the people and make them able to produce as soon as possible, allowing them to cultivate at will, and the court issued a land deed. If these lands were to be transferred to King Fu now, these people would be homeless again, with no land to plant, and they would not be able to do anything again. One of the reasons for the rebellion is that there has been a great drought for many years, and the second is that there is no land to cultivate, such as today's land is either in the hands of vassal kings and nobles, or in the hands of landlords and rich households, and it is difficult for the poor people to have a place to live. In the long run, this rebellion may be calmed down, but it will not be long before it can be saved and will rise again. For the sake of the world, the ministers thought that the land of the Central Plains could no longer fall into the hands of the vassal kings, landlords, and wealthy households, and that the land for the people to survive should be ensured. ”

After listening to Yue Su's words, Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The words of the Qing family are not unreasonable, and the rogue is rampant because of this. However, the land allocated to the vassal king is an ancestral system, so how can it be changed without permission. King Fu is still in the line, so he naturally has to repay the land, otherwise the clan will not be able to rest. ”

The minister also thought of this, so he came up with such an expedient measure, hoping that the court could let King Fu move his fiefdom. Moreover, King Fu and Liukou have a big personal grudge, if they don't leave Luoyang now, once the ministers leave Luoyang and send troops to Sichuan, what will happen to Luoyang at that time, it is really unpredictable. Even if it is for the sake of King Fu's safety, King Fu should be allowed to change his fiefdom. Yue Su said earnestly.

"This ......" Zhang Yan still hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The emperor's will has been issued, how can the order be changed." The mourning family thought, it is better to do this, let King Fu stay in Luoyang first, compensate for the land, and the Qing family will slowly open up. The emperor gave King Fu another decree, so that he could keep to himself and not be in a hurry. What do you think? ”

Zhang Yan said this, in fact, with emotional color, on the surface, she was not embarrassed by Yue Su to kill Luo Yangxing, thinking that it was reasonable, but in her heart she also felt that Yue Su was a little excessive. It's in the capital, it's not outside, can you use it directly, please make a will, and the court will also play it. The purpose of your doing this is nothing more than to establish authority, and you want to give those who are against you in the DPRK and China a disgrace and make them more honest. Your purpose has been accomplished, but where is the royal majesty? Now you ask for King Fu to move the fiefdom, if it is not for you to kill Luo's cultivation, for the sake of the world, maybe it can still be discussed, but now, I can't agree to you. Otherwise, the royal family really has no prestige.

After all, it is the emperor's family matter, and as a minister, he must also advance and retreat in a certain way. Now that the Queen Mother has taken a step back, the matter of the land will be repaid in the future, so there is no need to worry. Yue Su understood that if he fought with reason again, it would not benefit anyone. After all, he wants to be a minister of Zhongxing, not a powerful minister like Cao Cao.

Yue Su bowed and said, "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the ministers obey the order." ”
