Chapter 589: This Is the Real Drama Meat!
The move of the eldest princess of Guide is indeed well thought out, no matter how stupid Li You behaves this time, he must be saved, even if it affects himself.
But how to do it is hard to think about it. If she meets the Son of Heaven to present her feelings in person as usual, it will not only be easy to get bored, but also difficult to grasp between words.
Therefore, after thinking about it, the eldest princess adopted a very formal way, which revealed something special compared to usual, and at the same time seemed euphemistic to the brothers and sisters of the Heavenly Family, to make a statement to the Son of Heaven.
If Li You continues to be stupid, this will be the last time his political life will be saved! The eldest princess made up her mind.
However, after reading the content of this letter that is clichΓ© but has a very unusual form, Jing and Tianzi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He knows the imperial sister very well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his eyes are above the top. She can respect Li You so much that she asks in such a very deliberate form that if she wants to meet Li You in person, she must pay attention.
And this is not the first time that the imperial sister has said this, she also persuaded herself to meet Li You in private a few days ago, but she didn't wait for Li You.
Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven decreed: "Tomorrow, the Wenhua Palace will discuss and summon Li You, Huang Yong and others to the palace to confront each other." β
I also remembered that this conflict was between Li You and the eunuchs, and the observers were all civil and military officials of the foreign dynasties, which inevitably became one-sided, so he issued another decree: "Summoning the priests and the inner eunuchs to also enter the palace to listen to affairs." β
Although the Son of Heaven is not good at cultivating, he also understands that this kind of thing is best to be solved quickly, and the more it drags on, the more troublesome it becomes. Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that countless ministers are watching the situation and preparing to give advice like snowflakes.
It is precisely for this reason that the courtiers and the inner eunuchs are allowed to go to the palace to observe, and the problem is directly solved on the spot, so as not to attack each other again in the future. Now the court is lively enough. There's a new buzz again. It has to be completely messed up.
This will was sent out as usual, and the courtiers also received it as usual, and there was nothing special about the process.
I don't know why. all ignore that Li You is theoretically just an unofficial and unemployed gentry, and after being dismissed, he didn't even give a crown and idle with a crown. The Son of Heaven personally summoned the gentry and the eunuchs to confront and judge the case, what a shocking thing that was enough to be written into the history books...
It can only be said. Everyone subconsciously did not regard Li You as a person outside the temple, and they never felt that there was anything wrong with Li You going to Wenhua Palace, which could be regarded as another kind of "public expectation", so no one in the Beijing officialdom thought that Li You would not recover.
The decree was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate before the dispersal, and the two chief judges shouted "My Emperor Shengming", and His Majesty also knew that he was not completely deceived by the inner prison of the palace when he asked him face to face.
In "Prison", Li You was a little taken aback when he learned the news. Everyone knows the truth of wanting to promote and suppress first. He had planned to spend a few days in prison, waiting for the momentum to build up, and then eventually reversing the situation. I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to summon him to the temple tomorrow. Someone persuaded him. Eight achievements are to be guided by virtue Chitose.
Others were fine, but Li You prepared a poem. The opportunity to find someone to visit me when I was ready to go to prison now seems to be too rushed. Right now, there is no audience at night, and when I get out of prison tomorrow, I will lack a fit with the surrounding atmosphere...
The next day, the two masters came to the gate of the heavenly prison and prepared to escort Li You into the palace. But I saw that Li You flashed out of the long passage, his expression was sluggish, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he seemed to have stayed awake all night.
Walking into the narrow doorway, I only heard a long sigh from Li Daguan, and whispered in his mouth: "Nanguan Gu Ying is ashamed, and the rest of his life is cold at night." Jun En is not allowed to boast about the front seat, who can get rid of the left horse in the world. The geese go to the north of the empty space, and the flowers bloom and fall from the south of the Yangtze River. Poor Yu Xin is so talented, Guan Longxiang's heart is unbearable. β
Hearing these sad words, and comparing himself with Yu Xin, Dong Zhangdao comforted: "Son of Heaven Shengming, today with the help of the virtuous ministers in the palace, why are you so worried." β
"It's hard to explain the inside story!" Li You replied. The point is that if you don't read it, it's too late...
This time, he couldn't rub on the road, so he let Li You go on foot, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate took Li You to the imperial city in a carriage. Outside the right gate of Chang'an, Li You got out of the car, entered the Chengtian Gate and entered the palace, arrived at the Wenhua Palace, and stood at the bottom of the steps outside to wait.
After a while, he saw several little eunuchs carrying stretchers to him, and on the stretcher lay Huang Gonggong, who was bandaged in several places and seriously injured.
Li You glanced at it a few times and didn't speak, looking at Gonggong Huang's appearance, he couldn't help but curse a few words of "hypocrisy" and "pretending" in his heart.
The two sides waited quietly, during which the others entered the temple in twos and threes. I don't know how long it took, the inner supervisor in the palace said: "Spread Li You and Huang Yong to the palace!" β
Hearing the summons of the Son of Heaven, Li You and Huang Gonggong, who was carried on a stretcher, climbed the stairs and walked into the hall. and saluted the Son of Heaven on the throne, of course, Huang Gonggong was helped up first before saluting on the stretcher.
Li You secretly looked at the palace, there was nothing unusual about the courtiers, they were arranged according to the normal class, but there were a few more people on both sides of the throne of the Son of Heaven, all of whom were celebrant giants, including the eunuch Mai Chengen, the eunuch Duan Zhien, Wu Guangen, and the eunuch Wang Qinian, who was slightly inferior to the court.
Jing and Tianzi took a few glances between Li You and Huang Yong, probably thinking that Huang Gonggong, who was covered in bruises, was very pitiful, so he asked: "Huang Yong! I don't blame you for the past, just talk about how you and Li You clashed, if you lie about it, you will be severely punished! β
Huang Gonggong was waiting for this opportunity, and immediately shouted: "The slave maid went to the coal market and wanted to buy Taisheng Coal Shop, but Li You not only resisted, but also indulged the slave and beaten, causing the slave and maid to be seriously injured!" I beg your majesty to be the master of the slaves! β
The ministers listened to it, and no one sympathized with Huang Gonggong. Li You beat the inner prisoner, although it is reasonable to say that it is a loss, but Li You is not a reckless person without a target, there must be a reason. Then he turned his gaze to Li You and saw what Li You had to say.
I saw Li You take a step forward and said to Jing and Tianzi: "Huang Gonggong wants to rob me of Taisheng Coal Shop Coal, and he really should fight." There's something else going on here..."
The real drama has arrived! Everyone in the hall held their breath and waited for Li You to break the news. But seeing Li You frowning, he said again: "The minister has nothing to say, please let Your Majesty confess!" β
Again, everyone couldn't help but let out a low cry in unison. This Li You didn't know what confusion he had committed in the past two days, he confessed to the crime but kept silent, just now he almost thought that he was going to tell all kinds of justifications in front of the palace in a fanciful way. He still stopped, as if he had many secret things in his heart that could not be revealed.
The Son of Heaven looked at Li You curiously, at this time, he would argue a few words anyway, and he shouldn't let Huang Gonggong play alone. Why is it a low-voiced confession?
At this time, Duan Zhien, the eunuch of the celebrant beside the Son of Heaven, suddenly turned to face the Son of Heaven and said: "Yesterday's civil unrest, investigate the root cause, and the culprit is Li You. In any case, the crime of beating Huang Gonggong in public must be severely punished! β
Another celebrant accompanied the eunuch and said: "My generation has cut off the roots of dust to serve Your Majesty, and all hard work is duty. But Huang Gonggong is diligent in the king's affairs, so why should he go to the coal market to run errands? But for no reason, he encountered tyranny, and the matter was not as good as this, so I beg Your Majesty to judge impartially and not make my generation feel cold! β
Of course, there were also people in the palace who wanted to defend Li You, but Li You himself happily confessed to the crime, and did not disclose other relevant information at all, so that they didn't know where to start for a while. Could it be that Li You's purpose this time is just to send an edict to prison?
The royal sister is exaggerating a little... Jing and the Son of Heaven secretly said, this Li You is not very unusual this time, and there is nothing outstanding that must be seen in person. Yixing Yanshan, who was bored, spoke: "Li You beat the errand officer, the evidence is conclusive, what crime should be blamed, Zhu Qing will discuss it." β
Duan Zhien played again: "Li You beat the lieutenant official before, and then instigated civil unrest, the two crimes are combined, and the family property should be confiscated, exiled from Beijing, and never used!" β
In Duan's father-in-law's mind, Li You is brushing up his prestige to the point of going crazy, and it is estimated that he still wants to cheat some prestige from the Son of Heaven to be exiled and disposed of. Since this is the case, it will be fulfilled Li You, if there is no power to support him, only prestige is of no use! To die is to be Yang Shen!
Li You himself didn't do anything, and even the courtiers who spoke for him were weak. If he doesn't cherish it himself, then why should others be in a hurry?
At this time, in the Wenhua Palace, the number of internal supervisors was far less than that of the courtiers, but after the argument, the internal supervisors were violent, and they overwhelmed the courtiers with their own thoughts.
The Son of Heaven can only be reasonable in front of him, after all, Li You's rough evidence is conclusive, and he himself can't find a way to excuse himself, so the courtiers who want to help Li You speak naturally can't resist the refutation of the celebrant and eunuch.
"If there are no other objections, just do what Duan Zhien said!" Jing and Tianzi patted the armrest of the dragon seat and said loudly.
The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, and Li You can only step forward in frustration to prepare for thanksgiving. He staggered slightly between his steps, his handsome face had lost its former brilliance, and his eyes stared blankly at the ground in front of him.
In the eyes of the courtiers, there was suddenly a sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox was sad, this time it was like this, this time it is still the same, is it true that Li You is powerless in the face of the gradually reviving eunuch forces? This is a big blow to their spirits, not even Li You, who else can?
The geese go to the north of the wild goose, the flowers bloom and fall from the south of the Yangtze River, a word becomes a prophecy, and Dong Ruoshui, the head of Jiangxi Dao, who escorted Li You to come, sighed.
In a bleak atmosphere, someone suddenly came out of nowhere, came out of the class, and shouted to Li You: "Brother Li, I can't stand it anymore, what are you suffering, there is no need to bear it all by yourself!" β
Everyone in the palace looked at it and was stunned to find that this person was the second brother of the Queen Mother, and the second uncle of Qian Erguo, who had a very bad reputation. Strange, how did he get into the temple?
He doesn't have a knighthood, and his title is just a commanding officer... But at the moment, it doesn't matter, what matters, listening to this tone, when did he hook up with Li You?
I saw that Uncle Qian Guo didn't care about the suspicion of losing his honor in front of the king, and turned to the Son of Heaven and said loudly: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the coal in Taisheng Coal Shop is sold for the Queen Mother!" The reason why the price is low is that Our Lady wants to do acts of kindness and accumulate yin virtues! It's just that Our Lady doesn't want to be known! β
The hall was shocked, the crows were silent, I don't know how many people shouted wildly in their hearts, wasting half a day doing foreplay, this is the real drama meat!
