Chapter 14: This is slander
Whether it is beating Hao Jian, or framing him, this is not a light matter in Dakang, and in Dakang, which governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, doing so is tantamount to risking the world's condemnation.
"The students are wronged! On that day, the silver money on my body was missing, and many people confirmed that the three hundred taels of silver were taken by Hao Jian. But I didn't know Hao Dianyuan at that time, and when I thought of my court's benevolence and filial piety to the world, I gave him a lesson, as a light punishment, but it only hurt his skin, but not his muscles and bones......"
Li Yuankui cried and said, although he understood that the wounds on Hao Jian's body were fake, but Hao Jian now had the imperial doctor to testify, and Li Yuankui could only follow the previously planned actions.
"So, the wound on Hao Jian's body wasn't caused by you?"
Smiling, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Hao Jian, who was lying on the ground, and asked.
Li Yuankui, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again and responded: "No, many onlookers have seen the events of that day, and the students dare not talk about it in broad daylight." ”
"Hao Jian, what do you say?"
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Li Yuankui, then looked at Hao Jian and continued to ask.
"He hit ......"
Pointing at Li Yuankui, Hao Jian didn't give him face at all, and said to Li Yuankui.
"Hao Dianyuan, you have to be reasonable, you were fine when I left that day, why are you talking nonsense in front of His Highness today?"
Li Yuankui gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes were as wide as two copper bells, and he looked at Hao Jian angrily.
Lying on the stretcher, Hao Jian continued to point at Li Yuankui motionlessly, and responded weakly: "You hit, you still want to kill me in the side hall!" ”
"I didn't, you framed me!"
"Then how did the wound on my body come from, you hit me!"
"You were still fine that day, but I didn't make it like this today!"
"Yes, you didn't get it, you found someone to do it."
……
So in the court, everyone's eyes were focused on Hao Jian and Li Yuankui, they came and went, no matter how Li Yuankui explained, in exchange for Hao Jian's sentence "You beat me!" Immediately left Li Yuankui speechless.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something to say."
At this time, Li Daozheng stood up and waved his hand towards Zhao Kuangyin and said.
Hearing Li Daozheng's voice, Hao Jian and Li Yuankui stopped, and after the emperor nodded, Li Daozheng spoke again: "Originally, as a relative of the party, the official should not be involved in this matter, so as not to be gossiped, but since ancient times, he chose to be idle and did not avoid relatives, and the lower officials did not care about so much. I just want to ask Hao Dianyuan, where did the money come from? ”
After a pause, Li Daozheng touched his goatee and said.
Although Li Daozheng and Li Yuankui are brothers, Li Daozheng is much older than Li Yuankui, at this time Li Daozheng is about fifty years old, with a goatee, and he looks more like a Taoist priest than a civil official.
"I think everyone present knows about Hao Dianyuan's great achievements in the Jinluan Palace, I want to ask Hao Dianyuan, where did the money come from? If you don't take the money on my brother, who else will there be? This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, Hao Hao Dianyuan, do you have any explanation? ”
After a pause, Li Daozheng said confidently.
Everyone present about Hao Jian's matter knows that a third-class jinshi actually fainted in the Jinluan Palace, and it is when His Majesty talks about state affairs today, he not only defeated the saint Yaxing, but also buried his own future.
"Forgive the ministers for their courage," said Li Daozheng, and before waving his hand at Zhao Kuangyin to apologize, he continued: "How can a Jinshi who can't even eat enough to eat have more than three hundred taels of silver, isn't this nonsense?" ”
"Dare to fight!" After speaking, before waiting for the ministers to react, Li Daozheng knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times to Zhao Kuangyin: "My dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and the prosperous world is peaceful, and once you have a fame, whether it is a talent or a person, you can get a lot of grace from the government every month." This grace was not only in the form of money, but also meat and rice, enough for one person to eat for a month, and there was a surplus over it. Since that day Hao Dianyuan fainted on top of the Jinluan Palace, I wondered if there was something strange in this, was it because the state government was not doing well, or was there something wrong with Hao Dianyuan himself? Minister, I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Hao Dianyuan in exchange for his brother Qingbai! ”
What Li Daozheng said is not unreasonable, when Hao Jian participated in the scientific expedition, he was a person, and he enjoyed many privileges, such as cotton conscription, exemption from taxes, etc., and there was also a monthly supplement from the state capital, which was called grace and a lot of income.
But under such conditions, Hao Jian can still be hungry, which has to make people think deeply.
"Minister, reconsideration! Hao Dianyuan is hungry and faints Jinluan Palace, and now there are rumors that shake the country's foundation, there may really be unknown secrets here, for the sake of great health and safety, please Your Majesty investigate thoroughly! ”
As soon as Li Daozheng's words were finished, someone followed him out of the team and bowed down to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Reconsideration!"
Then more people stood up and knelt on the ground and pleaded.
All this is going very smoothly, as if it has been planned a long time ago, seeing this, Xu Benzhong frowned, those ministers who came out were obviously the people of Zou Yukun, the head of the household, although Zou Yukun himself hung a sign to avoid suspicion and looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his beard, but his expression betrayed him deeply.
"These guys are really ruthless, they actually want to kill people!"
Xu Benzhong smiled bitterly, if such a big brand smashed on his head, then even he couldn't do anything.
And today's His Majesty is a little unaccustomed to Hao Jian, thinking that he is the one who smashes his own signboard.
Looking at the ministers who knelt down one by one, Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "Reasonable, get up!" Hao Jian, let me ask you, what is your explanation for what Li Aiqing said? ”
"Those who are clean are self-purifying, what is the crime of Weichen?"
Hao Jian, who was lying on the stretcher, said softly.
Hao Jian already understood what Li Daozheng was plotting, and he already paid attention to it in his heart as soon as his eyes turned, so he didn't panic.
"What crime? Bully! Rebel! You still say you're not guilty? Li Daozheng stepped forward and bent down towards Hao Jian and said, "When you were a lifter, you enjoyed the grace of the imperial court, but you were penniless, and your stomach was in trouble. Either you are virtuous, or you are greedy by nature, and you squander your money! You steal my brother's money to say it all, you are greedy for enjoyment, but you are not willing to pay, if a person like you takes office in the local area, you will be in the country! ”
Saying that, Li Daozheng knelt down again: "Your Majesty, the minister begs you to severely punish Hao Jian and return me to a prosperous future!" ”
"Give me back a lot of goodness!"
As Li Daozheng knelt down, the officials who went all the way with Li Daozheng also knelt down: "Please Your Majesty return me to a great Kang Lang Lang Lang Kun!" ”
