Chapter 1263: Small Punishment and Thin Commandment
King Chen Liuwang died violently, and the news spread throughout Luoyang City.
There are all kinds of rumors in the market, some speculate that Liu Bi simply killed him in order to avoid another change of throne, and there are also rumors that Liu Bi fell in love with Princess Fu and Princess Dong, so he killed King Chen Liu.
What's more, there are some idlers who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, guessing that Liu Wei had an adulterous affair with one of Princess Fu or Princess Dong, and was broken by King Chen Liu, so he was angry and killed in anger.
All kinds of rumors spread in Luoyang City, and the image that Liu Wei established back then was soon smeared with a thick stain.
The rumors did not spread too widely, and soon the results of Hua Tuo's autopsy came out of the Luoyang Palace.
Chen Liuwang died violently, and the reason was all on Jia Xu.
The information released by the Imperial Palace to the private sector details the results of the investigation.
Jia Xu went to Chen Liuwang's mansion, and his original intention was just to talk to Chen Liuwang.
I didn't want the two of them to drink to the rise, but they forgot the size of the amount of wine, Chen Liuwang drank a lot of alcohol on weekdays, and drank a few more, and the wine was heart-wrenching, and he returned to heaven with his life.
The palace announced the cause of Chen Liuwang's death to the people, and also announced that Jia Xu would be punished, and the rumors among the people gradually dissipated.
The third day of Liu Xie's death!
In the main hall of the palace, Liu Wei sat on the throne, staring at Jia Xu who was standing in the middle of the hall with his fists clenched.
On both sides of the main hall, there were two rows of civil and military personnel, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Xu's body.
The death of King Chen Liuwang has an inseparable relationship with Jia Xu, and everyone in the palace knows about it to some extent.
However, in addition to Jia Xu, the only people who really know the truth are Hua Tuo, Chen Gong and Liu Wei, who got the results of the autopsy.
Hua Tuo's autopsy confirmed that Liu Xie died of poisoning.
It's just that the poison in him is not a violent poison that kills the mouth, but a relatively soft poison.
It was determined that it was Jia Xu's secret hand, but Liu Wei didn't have any way.
Once he announced to the world that it was Jia Xu who killed Liu Xie, not only would the courtiers and officials be chilled, but the people of the world would definitely associate what Jia Xu had done with him.
Then if you do it, it will be unpleasing to both ends!
Fortunately, Jia Xu did not use violent poisons, but only used chronic poisons with a gentle temperament, and in front of the world, Liu Wei still had some excuses.
"Jia Wenhe, are you guilty?" Staring at Jia Xu, Liu Wei said coldly: "I know that Chen Liuwang is invincible, but he still blindly persuades him to drink, resulting in Chen Liuwang's untimely death, you say, how should I deal with this matter?" ”
Clenched his fists and bowed, facing Liu Wei, after listening to what he said, Jia Xu's heart was clear.
Although Liu Wei planted the charge on his head, he avoided the serious and trivialized, only saying that he persuaded him to drink excessively, resulting in Liu Xie's death.
Jia Xu will definitely not lose his head for this crime, even if he takes away his official position, he will definitely not cut it too much.
Bowing down, Jia Xu said with a sincere and frightened look: "The minister is guilty!" If the minister knew that King Chen Liu's wine was invincible, he would definitely not persuade him to drink like this! ”
"Majesty!" As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Tian Feng on the side stepped forward and said to Liu Wei: "Jia Sinong went to visit King Chen Liu, he had the intention of being close, but he didn't want to end up in such a situation, and it was out of his heart to think about it!" The minister thinks that a small punishment is enough, and there is no need to make a big move! ”
Tian Feng came forward to intercede for Jia Xu, and immediately several people followed forward to exonerate Jia Xu.
Glancing at everyone in the hall, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and said to everyone: "Little punishment and thin discipline, I'm afraid it will be difficult to put an end to this matter." I have already made a decision, Jia Wenhe will be fined for two years, and I have thought about it for a month, and within three months, I am not allowed to drink! ”
Liu Bian's tone was very harsh, and everyone thought that he would say something harsh, but they didn't expect that in the end, what came out of his mouth was such a sentence, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them turned their heads to look at Jia Xu standing in the hall.
If Liu Wei made the truth of the matter public, Jia Xu's head might not be able to be saved.
When Liu Wei made the decision to punish him, Jia Xu was stunned on the spot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Fined for two years, he will suffer some losses in money and food, and he is not allowed to drink alcohol for a month and three months, which is really not a big deal for Jia Xu.
Is this also a punishment?
Blinked his eyes twice and looked at Liu Wei, Jia Xu still didn't react for a while!
He even thought that he was dreaming, in his opinion, what he did this time, only in a dream, Liu Wei would be so light-hearted.
"Jasnon, aren't you grateful?" Jia Xu was still standing there stunned, Chen Gong glanced at him, and lowered his voice to remind him.
After Chen Gong's reminder, Jia Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground with his legs bent, made a five-body bow to Liu Wei, and shouted loudly: "The ministers are punished and thanked!" ”
Staring at Jia Xu, Liu Wei's face was cold.
After Jia Xu thanked him, he slowly stood up, waved his hand to the ministers in the hall and said, "If there is nothing else to do, let's disperse!" ”
The death of King Chen Liu, although the strategists in the palace did not have full evidence, they all guessed eight or nine.
Everyone knows that the reason why Jia Xu did this is that once there is an accident in the future, Liu Wei's throne will not change.
In this matter, no one will hit that bad luck to get to the bottom of it!
Liu Wei ordered everyone to disperse, but everyone did not linger for a moment, and they all said goodbye and left the hall.
"Wenhe, you stay!" Jia Xu also stood up and was about to leave with the crowd, when Liu Wei called him and said to him: "Go to the back garden with me!" ”
Knowing that Liu Wei must have something to say to him, Jia Xu answered, stood in the hall, and waited for Liu Wei.
Accompanied by Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Liu Wei got off the high platform, and when he passed by Jia Xu, he said lightly: "Come on!" ”
Bowing down, he followed Liu Wei out of the hall, and Jia Xu didn't even dare to say anything along the way.
Ever since Liu Xie was poisoned by him, he saw that Liu Bian's face was not good, and he was always worried that Liu Bian would take his life because of this matter!
Leaving the main hall, Liu Wei and Jia Xu walked one after the other, and walked to the gate of the back garden, Liu Wei said unhurriedly: "Why did you want to kill King Chen Liu?" ”
Hua Tuo had already examined the autopsy, and although there was no witness, Jia Xu knew that Liu Wei must have all the evidence of his murder of Liu Xie.
Bowing down and bowing his head, Jia Xu whispered: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister killed King Chen Liu, is because there is only one lord in the world, and His Majesty was named the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and there are many heroes in the world who are not convinced!" There will even be people who intend to snatch King Chen Liu from Luoyang City and help him as emperor again. If they succeed, the world will be even more chaotic! Li Mincang did not have enough to eat, and starvation was everywhere in the wilderness. His Majesty is kind-hearted, how can he bear to have such a scene? ”
Turning his head to look at Jia Xu, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly to him: "The thing has been done, even if I kill you, it will be useless!" But you must remember that you must not make any more claims in the future, and if there are any more similar things, even I will not be able to protect you! ”
"No!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Jia Xucheng responded in fear.
"Go ahead!" Waving his hand at him, Liu Wei first ordered him to leave, and then said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen behind him: "You two accompany me to walk in the back garden!" ”
Knowing that Liu Wei must be upset at this time, Jia Xu didn't dare to delay too much, so he hurriedly thanked him, hugged his fists and bowed back two steps, turned around and went to the main gate of the palace.
"Majesty!" Just as he was about to take Wang Liu and Wang Zhen into the back garden, Liu Wei heard the voice of a guard behind him.
Turning his head to look at the shouting guard, Liu Wei did not say anything.
The guard ran all the way, and when he approached, he clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Teng asks to see!" ”
Hearing that Ma Teng asked to see him, Liu Wei frowned, looked at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen beside him, and then instructed the guard: "Pass him to see him in the flower pavilion in the back garden!" ”
"No!" The guards who reported the news answered, turned and ran quickly.
"What are you doing here?" Looking at the back of the departing guard, Liu Wei muttered as if talking to himself.
He didn't understand the reason why Ma Teng asked to see him, and of course Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were also full of confusion.
The two sisters glanced at each other, and all they could see from each other's eyes was confusion.
also knew that they couldn't think of a reason, Liu Wei didn't ask them, and led the two of them towards a flower pavilion not far away.
It has entered the late spring solar term, and the weather is gradually getting a little hotter.
The flowers and plants outside the pavilion are also in full bloom, and the red-tailed carp raised in the pond will poke their heads out from time to time, spit out two strings of bubbles, and then quickly burrow into the pond.
Standing by the flower pavilion, looking at the fish in the pond, Liu Wei's face was very dignified.
As his status and power climbed, he felt more and more stressed than ever.
ascending the throne as the emperor, on the surface, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but there are many more things to face than before.
Maintaining relationships with heroes from all walks of life is the most important link for Liu Wei at the moment.
Although the Han army is strong today, it is not very possible to conquer it purely by force.
Liu Wei's only chance of winning is to maintain some heroes on the one hand, and send troops to fight against the heroes who dare to confront him openly.
Ma Teng came to Luoyang just to borrow grain, and Liu Wei hung him for a few days, just to force him to leave Ma Chao behind.
I thought that Ma Teng would come back to see him later, but I didn't expect that after only a few days of waiting, he couldn't hold back!
"Your Majesty, Ma Teng is here!" Looking at the carp swimming in the pool, Wang Liu, who was standing behind Liu Wei, reminded him in a whisper.
Turning his head to look outside the Flower Pavilion, Liu Wei saw a guard leading Ma Teng, who was wearing a robe, and walked briskly towards the Flower Pavilion.
Glancing at Ma Teng, Liu Wei turned his head and cast his gaze on the pond outside the flower pavilion.
