Chapter 1125: Yu Yun Incident (II)
Cui Wenxiang stood in front of the palace of the King of Chu and waited for Li Yuanji's news, Cui Wenxiang is a very scheming person, his ambition and desire for power are also great, and he will never be satisfied with being a small staff member who joins the army, but he knows that if he wants to climb up, he must first firmly control Li Yuanji, do what he likes, help him, let him trust himself and rely on himself, so Cui Wenxiang spared no effort to give advice to Li Yuanji and fully demonstrate his dark intelligence.

At this time, Li Yuanji led the team to gallop from a distance, with a carriage wrapped in the middle of the team, and Cui Wenxiang hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness!" ”
Li Yuanji's face was gloomy, looking a little angry, and as soon as he saw Cui Wenxiang, he asked anxiously: "The old man committed suicide, what should we do?" ”
Cui Wenxiang was startled, he stepped forward quickly, through the car window, he faintly saw Yu Yun lying on the back seat, with a dagger in his chest, Cui Wenxiang was secretly annoyed in his heart, this Li Yuanji was not careful in doing things, and he didn't search his body in advance, but he still had to comfort Li Yuanji, "Your Highness, there is no way to do this, if he wants to die, no one can stop him." ”
Li Yuanji was quite annoyed in his heart, Cui Wenxiang's words gave him a little comfort, and he had to say stupidly: "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Has Your Highness found any evidence?" Cui Wenxiang asked urgently, this is the key, Yu Yun is a high-ranking official from the third rank after all, and it is difficult for him to explain to him when he dies.
Li Yuanji handed the jade box to Cui Wenxiang, "Of course I found it, this is ironclad evidence!" ”
Cui Wenxiang looked at the letter skin, he was overjoyed, and said to Li Yuanji: "Your Highness, that's easy to explain, Yu Yun knows that he is guilty, so he commits suicide in fear of sin, and hands this over to the Son of Heaven, no one has anything to say." ”
"Then when is it better for me to enter the palace?"
Cui Wenxiang looked at the night, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, it's best to enter the palace now and report to the Son of Heaven." ”
Li Yuanji hesitated, "I'm afraid my father has already fallen asleep." ”
"It is in this way that you can show Your Highness's diligence in guarding the society."
Li Yuanji nodded, "Mr. is reasonable, I'll enter the palace now!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll teach Your Highness a few more words."
Cui Wenxiang whispered a few words to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji nodded again and again, secretly praised in his heart, Cui Wenxiang is thoughtful, worthy of being a military advisor, and it is also his luck to have him as his right-hand man.
Li Yuanji immediately called Qian Huaiying and instructed him a few words, Qian Huaiying agreed again and again, turned around and urged the horse to go to the prison, Li Yuanji took Yu Weiming's confession, and took the carriage to the palace.......
Qian Huaiying came to the prison torture room and shouted: "Bring that second pancreatic up!" ”
The second pancreatic is a curse, which means today's pseudo-mother, for a moment, several fierce and vicious men brought a weak scholar up, only to see that he was extremely depressed, and was tortured by the jailers to gamble, but it can still be seen that he has fair skin, eyebrows and eyes look like a woman, this scholar is the first person to be framed in the wine shop, called Jiang Wenli, Longyouren, born in a small family, he is the least bold among all scholars, Qian Huaiying also took a fancy to him.
Jiang Wenli was thrown to the ground by the jailers, he thought he was going to be tortured again, so he curled up in fright, and pleaded in a weak voice: "Spare your life!" Please spare me! ”
Qian Huaiying lifted his chin with a whip and said with a cruel smile: "Be with my brothers, be happy!" ”
Jiang Wenli's eyes showed a look of extreme fear, his whole body trembled, and Qian Huaiying said coldly: "I'll just ask you a word, do you want to get out alive?" ”
Jiang Wenli's eyes lit up, nodded again and again, Qian Huaiying stared at him and said: "In the black prison, no one can get out alive, I can only say that you kid is lucky, I will give you a chance, obediently do so, and let you go back to your hometown after you are done, if you dare to betray us, I will let you taste the taste of being skinned." ”
Qian Huaiying grabbed his hair and lifted it up, "Look at the wall!" ”
Only then did Jiang Wenli see clearly what was on the wall, it was actually a complete human skin, and he was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
"Damn, he is less daring than a chicken, drag him to the outhouse, and wake him up with water!"
Several jailers dragged him out and splashed him up with cold water, and Jiang Wenli saw that there was no human skin on the wall, so he eased up slightly.
Qian Huaiying squatted in front of him and said: "I need you to accuse Yu Weiming, you just said that he was drunk once and inadvertently said that his cousin was the head of the Chang'an Intelligence Agency, so you reported him to us, understand?" ”
This is exactly where Cui Wenxiang's thinking is meticulous, he knows that this case is missing a key link, why did they arrest Yu Weiming? Someone must informe the accusation in advance before Li Yuanji has a basis to arrest Yu Weiming, otherwise it will be difficult to explain his motives to the Son of Heaven.
Qian Huaiying used Jiang Wenli to make up for this missing link.
At this time, Jiang Wenli's moral defense line has been completely destroyed, and his strong desire for life makes him do it even if he testifies against his brother, let alone accusing a classmate who has a general relationship with him, he nodded again and again, "I promise, I will testify now!" ”
"Later, I will teach you to write a whistleblower letter first, and then if there are court officials interrogating you, you will follow my words, you have to remember, if you dare to go against His Royal Highness the King of Chu, even if you are today, you will not be able to save you, and Lao Tzu will personally skin you!"
Jiang Wenli closed his eyes in fright, "I don't dare, I will definitely do it." ”
Qian Huaiying nodded with satisfaction, and instructed left and right: "Heal him, change his clothes, and don't touch him again." ”
The subordinates agreed and carried Jiang Wenli out carefully.
.........
Although there is a lot of entertainment in the harem, Li Yuan is no longer young after all, and the excessive drinking in recent years has hollowed out his body, in order to live longer, Li Yuan usually goes to bed to rest when he is in Hai.
Li Yuan had just fallen asleep and was drowsy, when an old eunuch whispered outside the tent curtain: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has an emergency to ask to see!" ”
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"The old slave obeys!"
The old eunuch was just about to go down, but Li Yuan stopped him again, "That's it, I'll get up now and take him to the outer hall to wait." ”
The old eunuch hurriedly went down, Li Yuan got up slowly, and the two palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to support him, put on his outer robe for him, and combed his hair a little, and Li Yuan slowly walked towards the outer hall of the dormitory.
Li Yuanji was already waiting in the outer hall, and when he saw his father come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "The son disturbs his father's rest, and the crime deserves death!" ”
"This little thing, what kind of crime deserves death, don't talk nonsense in the future."
"Father's teachings, sons and daughters have remembered!"
Generally, parents like their younger sons, and Li Yuan is no exception, although Li Yuan also has a concubine son, but Li Yuanji is the youngest son born to him and his original partner Dou after all, he has always been very doting, Li Yuanji's character has been unruly since he was a child, and when he grew up a little, he showed a cruel and ruthless side, and seriously injured the maid and servant several times, but they were favored by Li Yuan and his wife under various excuses, making Li Yuanji more brutal, more freewheeling, and lawless.
After Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, Li Yuanji was ordered to stay in Taiyuan, and in the past few years, Li Yuanji's crimes against the civilians of Taiyuan can be described as innumerable, and there were too many officials impeached in the end, and Li Yuanji was ineffective in encircling and suppressing Liu Wuzhou, so Li Yuan transferred him back to Chang'an.
After the fiasco of Song Jingang in the encirclement and suppression of Yan'an County, in order to appease the anger of the government and the opposition, Li Yuan once demoted Li Yuanji to a commoner, but restored his throne in less than a month, but no longer let him lead the troops to fight, but handed over the power of monitoring hundreds of officials to him.
It should be said that Li Yuanji is indeed very suitable for doing this kind of shady thing, and in just one year, he has done it well, effectively stopping the bad atmosphere of the court officials secretly communicating with the Northern Sui.
As the situation in the world gradually became unfavorable to Li Yuan, the Tang army was repeatedly defeated on the battlefield, which dealt a heavy blow to Li Yuan's confidence, and he was very afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of Wang Shichong, and it was this extremely unconfident mentality that made Li Yuan's suspicions aggravated, and he suspected that every minister could betray him, and his heart began to twist, and he was more inclined to use iron-fisted means to suppress the speech of his subjects.
Especially a month ago, Zhang Xuan officially ascended the throne as the emperor and created the Great Zhou Empire, which made Li Yuan feel an unprecedented panic, under great pressure, Li Yuan secretly ordered Li Yuanji to strengthen the surveillance of his subjects, when Li Yuanji ordered the implementation of the extreme suspicion order that would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let go of a treacherous person, it immediately aroused the strong indignation of the hundred officials, and was impeached by the Yushitai, but all kinds of impeachment and reports were suppressed by Li Yuan, and he acquiesced to this extreme measure of his son.
"Coming to me so late, what's the urgent matter of the emperor?"
"Father, please take a look at this!"
Li Yuanji presented the jade box to his father, Li Yuan opened the jade box, and couldn't help but be stunned, how could it be Zhang Xuan's letter, or a handwritten letter, he opened the letter and read it, and suddenly became furious, and slapped the table heavily, "I treat him well, he actually betrayed me, where is he now?" ”
"Qi Qi father, the son has already brought it to Yun, just outside the palace gate, waiting for his father to fall."
"Good! Bring him to me at once. ”
Li Yuan was furious, Yu Yun actually fornicated with Zhang Xuan and betrayed himself, if he didn't kill him, everyone in the world thought that he Li Yuan was weak and could be bullied!
"Son, I'm going to take him to see my father."
Li Yuanji was just about to go out, when there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a eunuch came to report in a panic, "Your Majesty! There was news outside the palace gate that Yu Yun, who would be the prisoner, seemed to have committed suicide in fear of sin. ”
A secret joy flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes, this is also what Cui Wenxiang taught him, he must put the place where Yu Yun committed suicide outside the palace gate, so that Yu Yun did not die because he was coerced by him Li Yuanji, but he was afraid of seeing the Son of Heaven so he committed suicide in fear of sin, and the responsibility naturally fell on the head of the Son of Heaven's father, and the nature was completely different.
This is called deception, Cui Wenxiang has accumulated rich experience in Wang Shichong, and he knows that as long as Li Yuanji holds the power of supervision one day, this kind of thing will never be exposed.
Li Yuan was stunned, Yu Yun actually committed suicide in fear of sin, and he was stunned for a while. (To be continued.) )
