Chapter 4 The Unexpected

"Your Majesty, the minister has this music!"

Under Xie An's secretly vigilant gaze, Yu He, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor, took the lead in attacking Xie An.

"......" glanced at the crown prince Li Wei quietly, and Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, said calmly, "What does Yu Aiqing want to play?" ”

I saw that Yu He turned around and glanced at Xie An, and said in a deep voice, "The minister wants to impeach Xie An, the young secretary of the Great Prison Temple, Lord Xie, for a total of ten crimes, such as collaborating with the enemy, concealing stolen goods, dictatorship, and perverting the law!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace were in an uproar.

Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, smiled faintly and said, "Play it carefully!" ”

"Obey the order!" With a big bow, Yu He, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor, turned around, looked at Xie An, his tone was like an axe and a chisel and a knife, and said sonorously and forcefully, "The crimes committed by the minister to impeach Xie Shaoqing are as follows: First, secretly communicating with the rebels, colluding with traitorous thieves, harboring rebel generals, Tang Hao, Ou Peng, Ma Dan and others, there is no king law, and there is no plot against him!" Second, privately release the rebel general Chen Bei, and sit back and watch this thief get away with it, and his heart can be punished! Third, hide the rebels' gold and silver vaults in Chang'an, and fill their pockets! Fourth......" said, he counted all the crimes committed by Xie An one by one, in fact, to be honest, most of this crime is used to add oil and vinegar to make up the number, but the first few are out-and-out.

The entire Taihe Hall suddenly fell silent, whether it was Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, or many courtiers, they all looked at Xie An, among them, those who were worried, those who sneered, those who were disdainful, and those who were playful.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ji, the great Zhou Tianzi above the Dragon Court, exhaled lightly, looked at Xie An and said lightly. "Xie Shaoqing, did you hear that?"

After all, Xie An has been the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple for several months. He has commanded an army of more than 100,000 people, and his psychological quality is much more solid than that of a year ago, he smiled slightly when he heard this, arched his hand, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, Weichen heard it!" ”

Perhaps noticing Xie An's calm demeanor, Li Ji was slightly stunned. Somewhat surprised, a little surprised, he glanced at Xie An a few times, and then said lightly, "Have you ever listened carefully and really?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Good! -- In that case, how would you like to explain this? ”

"Heh," Xie An smiled faintly and arched his hand. To put it mildly, "If you want to add sin, why bother? ”

"What a [sin that you want to add, there is no excuse]!" Yu He snorted coldly when he heard this, and said sarcastically, "What does Lord Xie mean, is it this imperial history that framed you?" ”

As soon as the words fell. Seeing that Xie An showed a little sudden realization, after glancing at Yu He, he asked with a light smile, "What is the name of this adult?" ”

"Humph!" Yu He sneered and said lightly. "Imperial Historian, Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital. Yu He! ”

"It turned out to be Lord Yu'......" Xie An smiled and arched his hand, then his face turned straight, and he said to Li Ji in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you also heard it, and this Lord Yu himself confessed his guilt!" -- Wei Chen impeached Yu He, the imperial envoy of the imperial history supervisor and the right capital, framed his colleagues and the party to fight against each other, plotted against him, and his heart was vicious and the people were angry! ”

"You!" Yu He's face froze, he was furious, and reprimanded angrily, "Xie An, you are called a bloody squirt!" ”

"Yes?" Glancing at Yu He coldly, Xie An showed a bit of mockery on his face, and said lightly, "The lower official just answered His Majesty's question, but Lord Yu felt that the lower official thought that Lord Yu had framed the lower official...... Xia Guan wanted to hear it, why did Lord Yu guess like that? - Could it be that the sentence of the lower official [the crime that you want to add, what trouble is not to be said] is exactly in one sentence, which makes the adults panic in their hearts and do not confess themselves? ”

Yu He's face became even more angry when he heard this, and he scolded sharply, "Lord Xie, this is nonsense!" ”

But Xie An didn't laugh angrily, with a little ridicule and a little ridicule, and said, "Oh, Lord Yu is angry!" - The truth is revealed! ”

"You! -- Strong words, insulting Sven! Yu He's face turned red with anger, and he glared at Xie An hatefully.

Xie An smiled when he heard this, deliberately pretended to be remorseful, shook his head and said, "Oh, if you don't pay attention, Lord Yu has counted down another crime, and you can't talk to Lord Yu anymore, otherwise, after noon today, Xia Guan will probably be the most heinous sinner in the history of my Great Zhou!" ”

Listening to Xie An's ridiculous tone, all the courtiers in the palace couldn't help laughing, and even the eyes of Li Ji, the son of heaven, showed a little smile.

Pretty!

After the death of Duke Yin, the eldest grandson Xiangyu secretly praised in his heart.

She knows Xie An too well, and she knows very well that Xie An is good at [attribution of fallacies] in sophistry, simply put, it is to find a certain loophole or mistake from the other party's words, and deliberately exaggerate it, so that the other party's whole sentence loses its authenticity, so as to reject it completely.

Just like right now, Xie An grasped the lead in a few words, and deliberately misinterpreted Yu He as a random conviction of him, so that the authenticity of the ten charges put forward by Yu He made people feel worthy of scrutiny.

In the final analysis, fallacy is a means of psychological suggestion, and it is also the most commonly used technique in sophistry and the easiest to overturn the opponent's statement.

"Good! Good! In front of everyone's eyes, Yu He's face flushed angrily, stared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Since Xie Shaoqing is so clever and quibble, then the official will come to ask you, if it wasn't for Xie Shaoqing's fornication with the rebels, why would he shield Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Tang Hao, Ma Dan and other rebel generals?!" ”

"What Lord Yu said is funny!" Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a calm face, "Those generals were originally officers in the Nanyang area, and they were committed to thieves by accident, and under the teachings of the lower officials, these people abandoned the darkness and turned to the light to help the lower officials quell the rebels in Chang'an. Now that they have returned to Beijing in triumph, they have made great contributions this time, and the lower officials naturally want to come forward for them and ask for forgiveness from His Majesty who is wise and martial, is there anything wrong? ――The ancients said that people are not sages, who can be without fault? After that, it can be changed, and the good is great! ――Do you think so? ”

"...... you" Seeing Xie An gagged himself with the words of the ancients, Yu He was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he reprimanded in a deep voice, "How can the crime of treason be forgiven so easily?!" ”

Xie An chuckled and said lightly. "What does it depend on your intentions?"

Yu He didn't think about it, and bowed to the Son of Heaven above the Dragon Court. said with a righteous face, "Naturally kill the ...... according to the law" However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie An.

"Kill 120,000 people? Oh, by the way, it was not only the 120,000 original rebels who surrendered, according to the laws of my Great Zhou, the crime of treason and the implication of family members...... In other words, what Lord Yu meant was to behead as many as 300,000 or 400,000 people! ――Lord Yu is really ruthless. In this way, the next official said that Lord Yu [Evil Heart] is not infinite! ”

"I ......" Yu He's face was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Ben...... When did the official say that he would kill 300,000 or 400,000 people? ”

"What do you mean by Lord Yu? - Kill a part, keep a part? ”

At this time, Yu He was said by Xie An to be six gods and no masters, and he said without thinking about it. "Yes, yes, that's ......"

As soon as the words fell, he saw a smile on Xie An's face, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "It is also the crime of treason that cannot be pardoned." Why are adults so favoritism? Kill half, keep half...... Absurd! -- Like an adult, where do you put the law of the Great Zhou?! -- Either kill them all, or stay all, my Great Zhou criminal law is the foundation of the society. The most important thing is that adults can be treated as a joke like this? -- Lord Yu is teaching the lower officials. What to do with it! ”

"You...... I ......" Yu He's face changed greatly, and in front of the words of Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers, he didn't dare to say that he would behead all the 300,000 or 400,000 people.

"Say!" Xie An reprimanded in a deep voice.

Yu He glanced at Xie An hatefully, but he didn't speak.

Xie An smiled playfully, turned to face Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Lord Yu is planning to write off the crime of Weichen......

This kid is really a good skill!

Da Zhou Tianzi, who has been watching coldly, secretly praised in his heart and nodded.

Seeing this, Xie An arched his hand again, then turned to look at Yu He, and said with a smile, "Go on, Lord Yu, Xia Guan remembers, Xia Guan still has nine crimes, right?" ”

Holding back the anger in his heart, Yu He quietly glanced at the crown prince Li Wei, and saw that his face was expressionless, so after a little hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, good, even if Xie Shaoqing didn't shield those generals......"

"Even?" Xie An raised his eyebrows, interrupted Yu He's words, and said lightly, "Lord Yu's vague words can't satisfy the lower officials!" ”

"......" Yu He let out a long breath, and after looking at Xie An for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the official who misunderstood, and I hope Lord Xie doesn't mind......

"Don't mind? Do adults think it's possible? The corners of Xie An's mouth raised a little smile, and he said sarcastically, "If the lower official slanders the adult like this, can the adult laugh at it?" ――Don't worry about adults for the time being, let's continue! ”

Yu He looked at Xie An with resentful eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "This official learned that when Lord Xie led the army to attack the rebels in Chang'an City, he secretly let go of the rebel general Chen Bei, can there be such a thing?" ”

Xie An frowned when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart, could it be that in addition to the double agent of Fei Guo, there were also people from the crown prince Li Wei in the Zhou army of the Western Expedition? Otherwise, how would Prince Li Wei know about things thousands of miles away?

Remember, Jin Ling'er once mentioned to him Xie An that the crown prince Li Wei had given her a list, if it was only Fei Guo, why did she need a list?

Thinking of this, Xie An was also relieved, shook his head, and said lightly, "No! Never! ”

When Yu He heard this, as if he had caught Xie An's handle, he asked in a tight voice, "Xie Shaoqing doesn't want to defend himself, at that time, more than 100,000 people personally watched you order to let go of that Chen Bei!" ――This thief killed countless handsome and fierce generals in my Great Zhou, Lord Xie let this thief go without permission, and dare to say that it was not an illicit rebel?! ”

Pouting, Xie An said lightly, "Ridiculous! ――If the lower officials really fornicated with the rebels, why did Chang'an, Luoyang and other cities have now returned to our Great Zhou? ”

Yu He frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "What is the explanation of Lord Xie about Chen Bei?!" ”

"It's very simple," shrugged his shoulders, Xie An asked, "Dare to ask Lord Yu, the purpose of His Majesty's order to lead the Western Expeditionary Army to Chang'an...... Hey? Lord Yu doesn't even remember His Majesty's holy order? ”

Yu He hurriedly said, "This official naturally remembers this matter!" ”

"There is no evidence, but the adults are talking!"

"Conquer Chang'an, capture and kill the thief king and praise ......"

"That's right!" Xie An spread his hands and said with a chuckle, "Isn't this it?" ”

What is it?

Yu He frowned and looked at Xie An, and said unhappily. "Lord Xie has not yet answered the words of the official, and the official asked. Why did Master Xie want to let Chen Bei go without permission! - Master Xie Gu Zuoyan him, could it be that he has a weak heart? ”

"Weak heart?" Xie An shook his head with a smile, then looked at Yu He and said lightly, "I really don't know how Lord Yu sat in the position of the imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor!" -- The lower officials have made it clear that His Majesty ordered the lower officials to go to Chang'an in order to conquer the place and capture and kill the thief king...... Chang'an here will be broken, and Chen Bei wants to escape here. Lord Yu, do you think it is better for the lower officials to focus on attacking the city, or to capture and kill Chen Bei? ”

"What does Master Xie mean, that Chen Bei is not easy to deal with?"

"Yes, that's what it means, if it's easy to deal with, such a good thing as crusading against the rebels. How can it be the turn of the Ninth Highness and the lower officials? Speaking of this, Xie An glanced at the crown prince Li Wei intentionally or unintentionally, and implied that the prince Li Wei wanted to kill people with a knife.

Seeing Xie An's answer, Yu He's heart became more and more resentful, but he couldn't help Xie An. The anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he said in a deep voice, "That Lord Xie is hiding the ...... left by the rebels privately" However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie An.

"Wait!" Raising his hand to interrupt Yu He's words, Xie An chuckled. Lord Yu suddenly changed the topic, can the lower officials think. This second charge is also a false accusation? ”

Yu He's face was as red as a pig's liver, and after gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice, "Is this official dereliction of duty, Lord Xie is satisfied?" ”

"I can only say that I am reluctant to approve, but as for satisfaction...... I'll talk to you later! - Go on, Lord Yu! ”

Listening to the threatening tone in Xie An's words, Yu He took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "This official heard that Lord Xie found a large amount of gold and silver treasury hidden by the rebels in Chang'an City, however, the battle report document submitted by Lord Xie to the imperial court stated that it was only worth more than 10 million taels of silver...... The rebels have been in Luoyang and Chang'an for a long time, and they have been collecting all the cities for four or five years, leaving only more than 10 million taels of silver? ”

Do you even know this?

Xie Anxin was slightly startled, but his face did not change, and he said lightly, "Maybe it's because we haven't searched thoroughly enough, why don't you go to Chang'an to search in person?" ――Anyway, adults are idle all day, aren't they? It's better to go through it in person, and it will save some people from impeaching the corpses of adults! At this point, he deliberately pointed at himself.

Yu He frowned, and sneered, "Why does Lord Xie think that this official has nothing to do?" ”

"Isn't it?" Xie An's face was straight when he heard this, his eyes looked directly at Yu He, and he said righteously, "What do you say that the lower official is also the hero of this crusade against the Chang'an rebels, Lord Yu, as the imperial historian, does not impeach and expose the real corrupt officials, but catches the lower official and asks the west, if it is not idle, is it still full of food and support?" ”

"You!" Yu He's face froze, his finger Xie An was speechless, and after taking a deep look at Xie An, he suddenly sneered and said, "Okay, good!" - Master Xie doesn't admit it, does he? Good! The official asked you, where did you get the reward for the three armies? The cost of rewarding more than 100,000 troops is not a small amount, if it weren't for Lord Xie secretly ignoring the rebels' hidden gold, how could he give such a reward to the sergeants? ”

"Well...... Xie An smacked his lips and shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's the case, after capturing Chang'an, Xiaguan picked up a treasure map, and according to the location drawn on the treasure map, he found a batch of property, Xiaguan thought, although this is ownerless wealth, but as the so-called [under the whole world, it is not the king's land], the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all owned by His Majesty, and the treasures hidden underground are naturally among them, so how dare Xiaguan be private?" Of course, it was given to the heroes of this battle...... When the reward was distributed, the lower official did get a huge amount of silver, a huge sum of fifty taels of silver, even an ordinary soldier is not as good, this matter God knows, the earth knows, people know, I know, if Lord Yu doesn't believe it, you can ask the nearly 200,000 soldiers of the army, what the lower official said is true! ”

As soon as he heard Xie An's words, Liang Qiuwu's tense face eased slightly, and he glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and a little smile faintly appeared in the eyes of the second daughter.

Indeed, what Xie An said was true, and he had no shame in his heart, he only took fifty taels.

Of course, in the final analysis, it was because Liang Qiuwu was afraid that he would fool around after he had money, so he was tightly concerned about money.

After that, Yu He asked Xie An one by one, Xie An's mouth was splashing, and the answers were like streams, only Yu He was speechless, and watched Xie An refute the ten charges one by one.

Glancing at Yu He, who seemed to be a defeated rooster, Xie Anxin secretly sneered.

Silly melon! Playing tricks with my brother?

I don't know what kind of characters I quarrel with on weekdays!

I have to say that compared to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who has been arguing with Xie An on weekdays, this is too far away from Lord He Yu, and it can be said that he is not Xie An's opponent at all.

"The truth is revealed!" Shrugging his shoulders, Xie An turned to face Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a play!" ”

Wise as Li Ji, how could he not know what Xie Anxin was thinking, while sighing at Xie An's sophistry ability, he chuckled and said, "What does Xie Aiqing want to play?" ”

Glancing at Yu He, who was stunned, Xie An said in a deep voice, "Weichen wants to impeach Yu Heyu, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor, as a courtier, he framed his colleagues, the party is the same and the party is different, and his heart is vicious!" -- Wechen didn't dare to boast, but felt that even though Wechen had no merit this time, he also had hard work, and the act of a villain like an adult really chilled the hearts of thousands of subjects of the Great Zhou, and if it was spread, the imperial historian would definitely lose face......

"......" Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xie An with a little surprise.

Is this kid really?

Thinking of this, Da Zhou Tianzi frowned and thought for a while, although he only treated this matter as a good show at first, but now it was picked out by Xie An's words, forcing this Ming Jun to think carefully.

In Li Jilai, it won't be long before the entire Great Zhou will know that it was Li Shou and Xie An who exterminated the Chang'an rebels, in other words, the two of them are meritorious ministers, if they can't properly handle this matter, most of them will cause dissatisfaction with the more than 200,000 troops stationed in Daliang City, and even the world will comment on the government and politics on this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Ji took a slight breath and said in a deep voice, "Remove Yu He from the post of imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor!" - Where are the guards in the palace? He was stripped off of his imperial clothes and sent to the Great Prison Temple for trial! ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and looked at each other.

Even Xie An was stunned, not to mention Yu He, who was the party concerned, only to see him fall to his knees with a thud, pleading miserably, and kowtowing again and again.
