Chapter 588: Hearing is better than seeing
At the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the interrogation was dispersed, and the two presiding judges waved back to the left and right, holding confessions and talking separately. After talking about it, nothing new came up with it.
The two of them really did their best today, helping Li You to create momentum and giving him a chance to fight back. However, when it was time to climax, Li You himself shrank inexplicably, which was really incomprehensible. In today's plan, it can only be played truthfully.
On the other side, Li You was led to the heavenly prison by the messenger. Outside the door, he passed through the prison and took a careful inventory, passed through the small doorway that was narrow enough to accommodate only one person, and passed through the long closed passage before entering the prison under the high wall.
Li You has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few days, and he is no stranger, and he is not as restrained and worried as other prisoners. Easily said to the little Jiupin Prison: "Your surname is Wu? Find me a warm and comfortable room, I'm very weak, I can't stand it. ”
Although this prison is new, he also has eyes, and when he sees Li You's posture in the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, he knows that he can't really be a prisoner.
Most of the people who were temporarily detained in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were officials, and the living conditions inside were already many times stronger than those in other prisons.
Then he took Li You to a sunny courtyard where a few green pines were planted, pointed to the main hall and said, "There has just been a governor here, and it has been cleaned up neatly, so Lord Li will be wronged here for the time being." ”
Could it be the place where Yang Futai, the former governor of Fengyang, lived? Li You thanked him a few words and looked left and right at the courtyard. The east wing seemed to be empty, and then I looked at the west wing, but I found someone standing at the door of the house, quite familiar. After carefully distinguishing it, Li Daguan actually recognized that he was Luo Xingye, the former right-hand politician and prefect of Yangzhou...
Li You quickly turned his head to the Lord Prison and said in a righteous manner: "Since this is used by the second-grade masters, I can't be rude!" I am willing to lead by example and abide by the law, and Master Wu should change me to a slightly worse place! ”
The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and the cautious and suspicious Li You does not dare to share a courtyard with Luo Xingye. Who knows if he will do something that will end in the same thing.
This courtyard was originally the place where the trio of Yangzhou Salt Case were held, but now the other two have been released, but Luo Xingye needs to be escorted by the army because he was confiscated and disposed of. But now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, no one wants to move, so they can only wait until the New Year is over to send Luo Xingye out.
"Hahahaha! Heaven is good, but retribution is not happy. Li thief, you also have today! You also have today! "Luo Xingye was bored. Suddenly, when he saw that the enemy who had sent him to the prison was also escorted in, he was extremely happy and couldn't help screaming.
But his reaction was really slow to react countless steps. At this time, Li Daguan and Wu Si Prison only left him with his back, and he didn't know if he heard it.
When Li You was arrested and "imprisoned", a riot broke out in the coal market outside Fuchengmen.
Early in the morning. When many people continued to rush to buy coal with hope, they came to Taisheng Coal Shop from all directions, only to find that not only was the door of the coal shop closed, but also that there was no figure from the shopkeeper to the guys.
If it's understandable that it's still early to open, then it's strange that the people in the store have disappeared without a trace.
The people who came to buy coal were talking and speculating outside the door. Suddenly, a man who looked like a guy appeared in front of the person and stood under the door of the shop, attracting the attention of the crowd. Someone immediately asked, "Little brother is a guy here?" ”
Han Zong nodded sadly and said, "Exactly." ”
"Is it open today?"
Han Zong replied with a sad face: "I'm worried about driving, I'm afraid that the store can't be opened." Yesterday, an internal supervisor in the palace came to occupy the coal in the store. He was sternly rejected by the proprietor and clashed with the eunuch. Now the shopkeeper and his men have gone out to take refuge, and our owner has also gone home overnight to arrange the funeral. ”
After this word spread, the crowd was in an uproar. Some of them were helpless, shook their heads and sighed and left, while others were indignant and unwilling to leave for a long time.
Han Zong suddenly spoke again: "I almost forgot to mention it." The proprietor said that there are still tens of thousands of catties of coal in the coal yard of this store, and the eunuchs and profiteers cannot be cheapened for nothing, and they are all given to you. Now its door is wide open, and those who are destined can take it for themselves! ”
Saying goes. Coincidentally, there was no book, and at this time, there happened to be a supervisor of the Salary Division leading dozens of thugs to rush to Taisheng Coal Shop.
It turned out that Huang Gonggong, the deputy director of the right division of the Salary Division, sued Li You in the palace. But I can't swallow this breath in my heart, and the shame of being beaten lingers. As the only supervisor-level eunuch who has been seriously injured by outsiders in recent years, he has been ridiculed by people who don't deal with him in the palace.
After hearing that Li You was imprisoned, Huang Gonggong felt that the big thing had been accomplished and he could let go of his hands and feet, so he ordered the subordinates of the Salary Division to go to Taisheng Coal Shop to retaliate, one is to smash it, and the other is to rob coal.
Supervisor Deng of the Salary Department was anxious, and he planned to rub oil and water. He personally led more than 50 people to the coal market. The road was violent, and pedestrians avoided him, causing him to feel a little proud. When he arrived, he happened to meet Han Zong's announcement that he would give away the existing coal to the people for free...
It's too coincidental that this salary division came, and it was a little different from the set script, Han Zong looked at the chaotic scene in surprise, and then quietly slipped away. Anyway, the master's order is to make a mess, how can it be messy or not? His original plan was to incite the indignant people who could not get the coal to rob the profiteer coal shop next to him.
An hour later, a messenger horse pierced the streets of Xicheng and reached the right gate of the imperial city of Chang'an, shouting to the Jinyi guard officer on duty: "Report the people's change!" ”
News such as disasters, civil uprisings, and major military situations in the Jingshi area can be directly reported to the imperial front in this way, and the brocade guard officer on duty took the paperwork and hurried to Miyagi.
Another quarter of an hour later, this urgent document was placed on the imperial case of the Wenhua Palace. The Son of Heaven, who had nothing to do a few years ago but wanted to make a palace look like a political state, was secretly reading the words and novels, and was also called out from the dragon collapse of the side hall to read the document that had just been delivered.
It is reported by the imperial history of the Xicheng patrol, to the effect that: in the coal market outside Fuchengmen, the coal buyers and the eunuchs of the Salary-Saving Division fought because of the competition for Taisheng coal and the storage of coal, and killed six eunuchs. There were also troublemakers, and two coal shops were looted. Fortunately, the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the patrol camp are effectively suppressed, and the situation is about to subside, and dozens of people have been arrested.
The Son of Heaven has not had much experience, and he has not yet developed the temperament of being pampered and not frightened, and after seeing it, he was in a bad mood, so he summoned Duan Zhien to inquire.
Duan Zhien said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this must be Li You's plan!" That Li You is accustomed to creating incidents to manipulate people's hearts, and taking advantage of the situation to do private things, in the past, people could not observe in detail, and often suffered from it. But as long as Your Majesty sees through his nature, he will not be confused! ”
"How to see through?" The Son of Heaven asked again.
Duan's father-in-law had already studied Li You very thoroughly, and when he saw the Son of Heaven asking, he quickly replied: "If you talk about this matter, Li You first used low-price small profits to bewitch the people, and the small people are vulgar and greedy, and they will be in the middle of the world; secondly, deliberately created the image of conflict with Huang Gonggong, provoked disputes and contradictions, and planted the root cause; What followed was today's civil unrest.
The slave dared to say that this was Li You's deliberate attempt to provoke the people behind his back, coerce the people, and not hesitate to make things bigger, in order to use others to show his reputation and succeed in his selfish interests! That's exactly what he's always done, and it's no surprise this time! ”
The Son of Heaven snorted and said to the eunuch waiting next to him: "You go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask, what is the result of the trial of Li You?" ”
The little eunuch answered smartly, turned around and walked out. Duan Zhien took the opportunity to say again: "Although the slave maid has not seen it with her own eyes, she can also assert one or two. Then Li You must rely on the ability of his tongue, make up countless rhetoric to denigrate Huang Yong, and take the opportunity to attack our slaves and maids. His fundamental intention is to find ways to incite the courtiers and His Majesty to fight against the bull, so as to force His Majesty to back down! And the minister can foresee that there will be many courtiers to cooperate with him, and His Majesty can't ignore this and can't be fooled by him! ”
The people or something, Jing and the Son of Heaven didn't have too intuitive feelings, but when Duan Daban talked about the courtiers, he had experienced it personally, and his head immediately became bigger.
It seems that the edict to arrest Li You is impulsive... Jing and Tianzi suddenly regretted that there were too many ways to deal with the minister.
Duan Zhien observed his words and looks, and naturally guessed what he thought, so he played: "Your Majesty is arbitrary, how can you be subject to your subordinates? A person like Li You, who is accustomed to selling direct invitations, can't be indulged lightly! Otherwise, if he does not obey the will of the Holy Spirit, and is often coerced by it, where is the dignity of His Majesty?
If he gains from this, and the people of the DPRK and China follow suit, the situation will be out of control, so Li Youzhi's harm is not in himself, but in the hearts of the people! Your Majesty must dispose of Li You and correct people's hearts! ”
Jinghe Tianzi finally nodded, from the perspective of imperial art, it is not easy for a person like Li You to control, and he is not completely obedient to himself, of course he should be given a lesson.
Duan Zhien was secretly happy, Li You really made another empirical mistake, did he think that the original tricks would still work in front of the Son of Heaven?
At this time, he saw that the little eunuch sent by the Son of Heaven to urge the Imperial Court came back in a hurry. It turned out that he had just walked to the Huiji Gate, and he met the eunuch in the clerical room who sent it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to try Li You's playbook, so he took it back.
Jing He Tianzi took the notebook and looked at it, and glanced at Duan Zhien thoughtfully. Duan Gonggong has been by the side of the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the emotions of the Son of Heaven, and at this time, he instinctively feels that the Son of Heaven is a little cold, but he doesn't know what the problem is.
When he saw the content of the recital, Duan Zhien was taken aback from the bottom of his heart, how is this possible? This Li You is actually willing to admit his guilt, without any excuses, let alone those bitter and mean, scolding and scolding sharp words that he speculated! He even honestly confessed to the crime!
The words he said seemed to have become a villain's frame out of thin air, no wonder the Son of Heaven had a cold attitude.
Just when Duan's father-in-law was full of embarrassment and didn't know where to start, another internal supervisor sent a transcription, and the author of the transcript was very shocked, it was the eldest princess of Guide. This surprised the Son of Heaven, the imperial sister has always said directly to her face, and she has never used the form of a notebook, but what accident happened today?
The content of the eldest princess of Guide is very simple, that is, "hearing is false, seeing is believing, and hearing is better than seeing".
