Chapter 765: Lend Your Life
readx;
Bianjing, Liu Yong looked a little lonely when he came out of the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he really feels very embarrassed now, and the articles that Zhao Shu asked him to publish are still in his drawer. Liu Yong didn't want to slander Chen Shimei, because if this horse master didn't have him Liu Yong today.
Chen Shimei gave him today, but Zhao Shu could give him tomorrow, which really made Liu Yong very embarrassed. If he could, he didn't want to get involved in this right and wrong, but Zhao Shu obviously gave him only a two-way choice, either do it or not.
In the palace just now, Zhao Shu coerced and lured him, and told Liu Yong very clearly that if there were no articles in the newspaper tomorrow morning, Liu Yong would be ruined. Of course, if there is a case, the benefits will be great, and Liu Yong will be a person in Zhao Shu's circle in the future.
"Chen Shimei!" Liu Yong's mouth let out a long sigh, he really didn't know why Chen Shimei hadn't come back now, if he came back, he might not have to involve himself in all this. Since Zhao Shu said that he could do it, like Chen Shizhong and Chai Yang, these people involved in it were all locked up, and he would definitely not be an exception.
Zhao Shu can not only give him tomorrow, but also ruin his tomorrow.
But if he gives Chen Shimei a moment at this time, is he still a human being? Liu Yong is very conflicted, just like his marriage, he can't do this multiple-choice question at all.
In a trance, he walked on the streets of Bianjing, occasionally passing by some figures, and people who knew him greeted him, but he ignored them completely, thinking about his own thoughts.
Suddenly, a person jumped out from the front, blocking Liu Yong's way. Liu Yong first thought that this was just a passer-by who met occasionally, and when he was about to dodge sideways, he shook the guy and blocked in front of him: "Uncle, how are you close?" ”
Only then did Liu Yong put away his mind and looked up, and when he saw clearly who it was, he was really surprised: "Brother Dong! How did you get back to Bianjing? ”
He said and dragged Brother Chen Dong into the alley next to him: "Do you know that it is dangerous here?" If you let the emperor know that you are back, he will arrest you! ”
Brother Chen Dong smiled: "If I don't come back, then my father will be in danger when he comes back." ”
Liu Yong looked around vigilantly, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention to them here did he say, "Do you know that you came back to the horse master?" What is he going to do now? ”
Brother Chen Dong asked rhetorically: "Uncle, is Zhao Shu looking for you today?" ”
Liu Yong nodded: "Well, they asked me to publish some articles that slandered the horse master, and those articles were completely taken out of context and nonsense!" ”
Chen Dongge grabbed Liu Yong's shoulder: "Uncle, don't be angry, this is what my father expected, and they will definitely do their best to suppress all the remarks that are beneficial to my father." Father wants you to do a favor. ”
Yoo Young didn't think much about it: "What do you want me to do?" ”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Brother Chen Dong's mouth: "Tomorrow morning, you will go out by yourself and keep walking to the river." When you get to the river, it should be the most crowded. That's when you committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river. Rest assured, we've got boats there that will fish you out of the river. ”
Liu Yong was stunned, he immediately understood that Chen Yuan was going to launch a counterattack, and Chen Yuan wanted to be the first knife to slash at the opponent! Now that Liu Yong is very famous, his suicide by throwing himself into the river will definitely set off a storm, and someone will find out the cause of his death. And I just met Zhao Shu tonight, as long as I do a little tricking, Zhao Shu's low position in the hearts of those scholars and students will plummet because of this incident!
But Liu Yong didn't agree immediately: "This, I can't swim this, what if there is an accident?" Besides, what will I do in the future? Will I not be able to show up again after jumping into the river? And "
Brother Chen Dong didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he pulled out a short knife and grabbed Liu Yong's neck: "Father is right, uncle is just a good son, and he hasn't had enough!" You are afraid of death and greedy for riches. Father said, you have to do it. From now on, I will always follow you, if you have the slightest abnormal movement, then you don't have to jump into the river, I will kill you. ”
Liu Yong, a weak scholar, when did he experience the scene of being held to the neck with a knife? And his own backbone is in his mouth, but there is really not much in his bones. The face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a trembling tone: "Brother Dong, Brother Dong, you put away the knife first, you have something to say!"
Brother Chen Dong didn't put away the knife: "Uncle, I really don't want to kill you, you better do what your father said." ”
Zhao Shu didn't know Liu Yong at all, but Chen Yuan knew. For a person like Liu Yong, you can't give him a choice at all, he can't choose a good one. Yoo Young likes too many things, fame, power, money, women, he is attached to them all. He can't bear to let him abandon any of them. So you should tell him how to do it directly, without thinking about whether he can accept it or not.
Liu Yong nodded tremblingly: "Okay, good!" It's just that you told those who are going to catch me that they must be smart, and don't wait for me to be drowned! ”
Brother Chen Dong said: "Uncle, don't worry, the few people I found are the best with the surname Shui." They will come to your rescue as soon as you enter the water. I won't let you drown, and I won't let you be rescued ashore by other people. ”
It was only at this time that he put away the knife: "Uncle, I am offended. I'll follow you from now on, uncle, let's go to the newspaper office tonight, let people see that it's better to not sleep all night, and you always have to leave something for others to guess that you were forced to death by Zhao Shu. ”
Liu Yong nodded helplessly: "I know." ”
The next day, the first thing Zhao Shu did when he got up was to ask Chen Shimei where she was again. Knowing that Chen Shimei's speed was a little slower, he was really a little angry.
Then he was looking for a new issue of the newspaper, and he wanted to see if Yoo Yong was obedient. There were no articles in the newspaper that he wanted to see, and Zhao Shu angrily crumpled the newspaper and threw it on the ground, preparing to find an excuse to trouble Na Liu Yong when he went to the early court.
But as soon as he went to the court, Zhao Shu received a shocking news - Liu Yong committed suicide!
He almost doubted whether it was true, but the person who returned told him that just this morning, Liu Yong walked to the river alone in a trance, and then shouted in full view: "I'm dead, don't force me too much!" Then he jumped into the boiling river.
The pedestrians by the river and the sailors on the boat all jumped in to save people, but in the end they did not save Liu Yong.
Zhao Shu's whole person suddenly became nervous, he knew that he was in trouble.
The news has obviously spread, and the ministers above the early dynasty have asked for a thorough investigation of the cause of Liu Yong's death, a good literary bigwig, how many years of Taishan Beidou in the Song Dynasty, actually ended his surname by throwing himself into the river, this way is unacceptable to the scholars!
"Your Majesty, Liu Yong has been concentrating on running his newspaper all these years, not participating in any battles in the court, and has made contributions to the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and the minister doesn't know what mistakes he has made! Even if he is wrong, he will be judged by the law, and it is really hard to convince him to die in this way! Ouyang Xiu's beard was trembling, and he had no intention of going down when he stood in the middle of the court.
Thinking about the fact that Liu Qilang, who is famous in Beijing, actually ended up today, and the feeling of the rabbit and the fox feeling sad arises spontaneously. He can endure Zhao Shu and Chen Shimei's affairs, but he can ignore them. But what is Yoo Yong's crime?!
"Dare to ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly, why did Liu Qilang let people not force him when he was dying? This must give an explanation to the people of the world! ”
Although Ouyang Xiu did not directly say that Zhao Shu should be responsible for this matter, the words were faintly meaningful, so that everyone could understand it when they heard it.
Fan Chunyou stepped forward: "Lord Ouyang, the matter has not been clarified, please believe long live ......"
Fan Chunyou couldn't go on just halfway through his words, and Ouyang Xiu immediately interrupted him: "Long live, I can wait." But there must be a clear deadline, and on the way to the morning, those students are already gathering, and if this matter cannot be clarified as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince people. ”
Zhao Shu's face was pale, and Ouyang Xiu was clearly going to fight him. Why did Liu Yong throw himself into the river? Who has persecuted Yoo Yong during this period of time? A discerning person can see it at a glance.
Looking at Ouyang Xiu's eyes that looked directly at him, Zhao Shu's chest rose and fell sharply, and finally did not break out: "Okay, Kaifeng Mansion Yan will investigate the cause of Liu Yong's death within ten days." ”
Ouyang Xiu still refused to give up, and then said: "The results should also be announced to the world!" The person who forced Liu Yong to death must apologize! ”
There is only one way for the emperor to apologize, and that is to issue an edict for his own crimes. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no emperor has ever issued an edict to sin against himself, and if he first "sinned himself" within a few days of ascending to the position, his reputation in the future will be severely hit.
Ouyang Xiu said righteous words, Zhao Shu angrily slapped the dragon chair with his hand, but he couldn't find the words to refute. As far as the facts are concerned, Ouyang Xiu's statement is tenable.
But Zhao Shu didn't want to admit his mistake! He just asked Liu Yong to publish a few articles, and although those articles were suspected of being taken out of context, they were not groundless. Liu Yong committed suicide for such a small thing, do you blame yourself?
The eyes of this minister and a gentleman looked at each other in the air, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of hatred, but Ouyang Xiu had a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and everyone could see that Ouyang Xiu was going to die.
Wen Yanbo hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Ouyang, let's talk about it after the matter is clear, now it seems too early to give Liu Qilang's death a conclusion." Maybe he can't solve it because of the troubles in his life? ”
Ouyang Xiu turned his head to look at Wen Yanbo: "Lord Wen, Liu Qilang is indeed indecent in life, but if he would die for this kind of thing, he has died many times in the past ten years." ”
Zhao Shu couldn't sit down anymore, and regardless of the fact that the morning was not over, he got up and brushed his sleeves and left: "Let's talk about it after we find out!" ”
An early dynasty broke up unhappily, Wen Yanbo was very helpless about this, he never thought that Liu Yong could actually commit suicide by jumping into the river! Zhao Shu couldn't get rid of it, he knew that the consequences were very serious, and when he walked on the street, those scholars talked about Liu Yong's death, some sighed, and some were indignant.
But like Ouyang Xiu, their hearts were all aimed at Zhao Shu, who ushered in the first crisis of confidence after his pro-government, and it came so suddenly and so violently.
