Chapter 281: Half-False and Half-Real Hole Cards

I don't know when it became a gorgeous performance for the civil officials of the dynasty, and it became the best channel for fame. If a minister is beaten dozens of times by the court cane, he will immediately be famous all over the world for his reputation of righteousness and outspokenness, and as long as he survives the immortality, he can go home and set up a wine to celebrate that he is going to be famous in history!

There are also many people who are confident in their physical fitness, deliberately criticize dragon scales, and make a fool of the court staff to fight for fame. From this point of view, I have to say that it is indeed a very distorted world... However, Master Li said that he was definitely not deceived by the court staff this time, and it really angered the queen mother, but since he was going to be beaten with the court staff, it was normal for him to pretend to be heroic.

Although Li You had been escorted to the outside of the hall, the slogans shouted seemed to echo in the hall, and the voices of those who were skilled in tongue and tongue were generally very clear.

These ministers who can go to the palace to discuss matters, no matter how upright their surnames are, will be infected by today's environment with a bit of "conspiracy theory" thinking.

The case of the sixth prisoner? The Queen Mother and the First Auxiliary are weak-hearted? The two sentences shouted by Master Li were connected and thought about, which made people feel very meaningful. Even if a certain former Chinese book is bold, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense on this matter, could it be that the Queen Mother and Lord Xu suddenly don't deal with each other today, there is this factor?

Although Zhu Qing never mentioned that case, he has been silently concerned in his heart, and this is a case with weather vane significance on the issue of the ownership of major policies. Whether it is silent or rehashed, it is estimated that it has its profound political implications.

The old assistant Zhang Ruoyu knew that the night was long and dreamy, and he was about to do it again when he coughed. But the Empress Dowager Qian on the throne couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and did not echo Lord Shoufu.

In the heart of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, the matter of the sixth eunuch of the country must have been created by some people who had the mind of the dragon. At the beginning, she also knew that it was impossible to suppress this thought, and it was best to downplay it, so she only planned to give a small punishment to those few reckless prisoners, and let the Guozi Supervisor take them back and punish them themselves. Unexpectedly, all six people died violently overnight, and the matter became even more bizarre.

Even so, she still chose to continue to treat it coldly, and did not want to dwell on this topic when it was hotly discussed. You know, whatever the outcome is found out, it is a turmoil, and it is likely to cause more and more drastic consequences, and the hotter this topic involving politics is, the more unstable she becomes.

As the queen mother, she is naturally not afraid to drag things out, even if she is suspected, no one dares to interrogate her, and it is best to drag it out until it gradually fades out of other people's memories.

But this doesn't mean that Empress Dowager Qian doesn't want to find out the inside story, or that she wants to really end the matter, so as not to be inexplicably stained on her back. If you want to be a "female Zhongyao Shun", you can't be regarded as a vicious villain who secretly killed the book supervisor.

A while ago, Shixian Jiu strongly recommended Li You to investigate the case, and she felt that the time had come and agreed. Regarding Li You's ability to do things, Empress Dowager Qian still trusts her. The key is that she believes that Li You is a person with a clear heart, and Li You must know how to deal with the beginning and end of the matter, and Li You must also know how to grasp the truth.

Today, Li You suddenly came over to the court and discussed matters, Empress Dowager Qian didn't think much about it, but now she realized that she had already had a result in just a few days? It's actually at this moment that the court staff is taken out to deceive the prestige!

The old Shoufu waited again, and was thinking about whether to speak, but saw Lord Xu suddenly say to the Queen Mother: "What Li You said is really appalling, and the inside and outside are suspicious. Otherwise, the court acted in a hurry, and if something went wrong, it would be a laughing stock! ”

Everyone in the hall nodded yes, Lord Xu's words are deep in the hearts of the people, and they can only express their stance if they can see the direction of the wind clearly.

But it was said that Master Li was dragged out of the hall, shouting slogans and shouting slogans, even if he shouted hard, the execution Jinyi guard turned a deaf ear, didn't care about what he shouted, and still started preparations in an orderly manner.

first fixed Lord Li on the floor, then lifted the fat official robe, pulled off the outer two layers of pants, and finally rounded the cane and hit it. The queen mother's bodymate, Gonggong Mai, counted on the side, and many guards outside the palace gathered to watch strongly.

Many of these guards have been on duty for many years, and when they think about the palace history, it seems that since Jinghe Dynasty, no one else has been subjected to the impression of the court staff, and Lord Li is likely to be the first to be honored.

Li You was lying on the ground, and suddenly remembered some allusions to "hitting with heart" and "hitting hard" that he had seen in his previous life, so he turned his head to peek at Grandpa Mai's toes, wondering whether it was open or closed. Looking left and right, it seems to be parallel, what does this mean?

Just as Master Li was distracted from studying the toes of Grandpa Mai, the staff fell heavily! Immediately, I felt that the back of the whole body was suddenly spicy, as if it had been burned by fire, and then waves of severe pain rolled up into my heart.

Not very mentally prepared for this, Master Li couldn't help but scream out in pain: "Ah!!!! ”

He wanted to continue shouting slogans while being beaten, but now where can he shout ... Why is the gap between the taste of the court cane and the board being beaten in the county government so big? Master Li was hit by a board when he was chased as a servant, and he originally thought that the court staff felt similar to hitting the board, and he didn't care much about relying on his strong body. Now I know that dozens of strokes of the court staff are really likely to kill people!

Thinking of this, Li You's scalp is numb, and now it's a big game.

Immediately, it was again, and Master Li still couldn't help but cry wolf.

Just then, a savior appeared. The little inner eunuch rushed out of the Wuying Hall and shouted: "The Queen Mother has a will!" Stop, stop, stop! ”

ran to Gonggong Mai again, bowed down and said, "The Queen Mother passed Li You to the palace." ”

Hearing this, the Jinyi guard had no choice but to withdraw his hand, gently stroked the iron end of the court staff, sighed slightly, and stared at Lord Li's buttocks very unsatisfied. When was the last time you held the staff? It's been almost ten years, but it's a pity that the good stunt of hitting the court staff with one hand has been abandoned for a long time... Li You felt the misfortune of the great fortune that the staff of the court was actually in such pain; I felt fortunate in the misfortune again, and it only took two hits before it came to an abrupt end. However, with only two court rods, can you get the effect of fame? It's a bit uncertain.

But I heard Grandpa Mai instruct the Jinyi guard: "Don't take the cane yet, maybe Master Li will be beaten in a while." ”

At the strong request of Master Li, the little inner eunuch was forced to hold him up in disheveled clothes, and staggered to the temple, looking seriously injured.

In front of the ministers, after Lord Li thanked him for the grace of stopping the sentence, he listened to the Queen Mother: "Do you have any income from investigating the case?" Tell the truth, if there is half a lie, the punishment will be increased! ”

Li You took out the fold from his sleeve and said: "It is now found that Zhang, a small official in the Guozi Supervision and Books, and Fang Mou, a small official in the Rope Hall, were connected to annihilate, and Fang was poisoned in the water, causing the six prisoners to die violently at night. ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed, what is this? What about the fierce material that can make the Queen Mother and Shoufu weak-hearted?

Li You continued unhurriedly: "It was also found that the criminal Zhang and the official student Qian in the prison were the best and had a good relationship, and the teachers and students of Guozijian could testify. It was also found that Qian tried to escape from prison when he was in the courtier's case. As for the others, there is no empirical evidence so far, and Shang Xuchen continues to investigate, and I would like to hear about it first. ”

An official with the surname Qian? The money of the Queen Mother?

Some ministers who are familiar with Xungui have already remembered that among the two brothers of Empress Dowager Qian, the eldest brother Qian Tai attacked the title of the old country's father-in-law as the Marquis of Xinning, but the second brother Qian An was prevented by the ministers and did not be knighted, and his son was imprisoned to study with Enyin. Could it be that the money supervisor in Li You's mouth is this person?

Although Master Li was very cunning and kept saying that there was no empirical evidence that Qian Jiansheng was related to the murder, the speaker had the intention and the listener had the intention. Most of the people in the hall have already made up the plot in their brains, and have drawn the line from Qian Jiansheng to Zhang, and then from Zhang to Fang.

At their level, many things only need "truth" and no evidence. To put it bluntly, the evidence is all for low-level people to see the excitement.

What they thought was just as Li You said when he decided the case, without the support of the people, how could two unrelated officials dare to commit such a big case? Is Qian Jiansheng the one who supports him? It seems that the portion is not enough, and then what about the future?

The Empress Dowager Cisheng was shocked when she suddenly heard that Qian Jiansheng was born. She didn't expect this case to be related to herself, let alone that she was suspected of being suspected by Li You of taking her nephew as the mastermind. Did she guess the wrong direction from the start? What is her brother for?

How much did Li You find out? Is there any real evidence in your hands? Is it true that the results were not found or is it deliberately triggered and not provoked and waiting for the opportunity? Empress Dowager Qian couldn't see through Li You's hole cards after thinking about it.

In fact, Li You only has these goods in his hand, and there is no other fierce material to show his hand. The case was a case half a year ago, how can you find too many clues in a few days? He's now nothing more than an empty city.

Today, the situation has developed into such a chaotic situation, and Empress Dowager Qian regrets it a little. Maybe he shouldn't have a soft ear, and listened to the so-called imperial techniques such as "the way of the king is good at balancing", "don't let one family dominate", "to pull out thorns for the future son of heaven", and plan to promote Peng Chun, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, to suppress the momentum of Xu Daohong, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhao Liangli, the imperial history of the left capital.

Otherwise, Li You is definitely on her side... Now she realizes that the knife is really sharp.

But the Empress Dowager Cisheng is not afraid, what can the mere prison case do to her? In other words, even if she explicitly issued an edict to give the six eunuchs life and death, who could do anything to her?

Although most of the time it is empty words, it is possible for a prince to commit the same crime as the common people, but it is also possible under certain conditions. However, there are still two people in the Ming Dynasty who can absolutely transcend the law, never break the law, never accept any trial, at most they will only be persuaded and admonished, one is the son of heaven and the other is the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Qian's scruples are first, reputation, and second, her family's situation a hundred years later.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had been silent for a while, Lord Li ignored his injuries and said loudly: "The minister Li You moved to the left without regrets, only the case of the prisoner has not yet ended. Where righteousness goes, it will be revealed, and the mastermind will be captured to thank the world! ”

How dare Empress Dowager Qian let Master Li continue to investigate? But no one in the hall came out to refute Li You for a while. Even the old Shoufu, who has been fighting with Li You today, is still pondering carefully, is the case of killing prisoners instigated by the Queen Mother? So who instructed the previous letter to ask the Son of Heaven to be pro-government? Is it really the Queen Mother's self-directed and self-acting?
