Chapter 459: Pushing the Boat Downstream
Yang Lie's disappearance paralyzed Liu Yu's intelligence system for a while, and although he can now obtain information in Chang'an City, he cannot form a complete system, nor can he show the best advantages of the intelligence system.
The forces in Chang'an City are intricate, there are several parties between the old faction and the new faction, and now Liu Yu can't fully grasp this information.
With Yang Lie's lesson, Liu Yu did not dare to tie the intelligence to the front line, he was ready to carry out a variety of intelligence work, he also thought of a person to choose a new intelligence line, Qu Zhu's sister Qu Shu, as the big boss of the Chang'an City Carriage and Horse Gang, Qu Shu has her status in the rivers and lakes, and it is very suitable to obtain intelligence through the channels of the lower nine streams.
After sending Han Sheng away, Liu Yu planned this matter and asked Qu Zhu to call Qu Shu to the palace overnight to discuss.
After Qu Shu expressed his willingness to serve the imperial court, he also put forward some realistic situations of the chariot and horse gang. Although the Carriage and Horse Gang is in charge of her, there are elders and other branch hall masters under her, and it is not that she said that if she wants to serve in the Imperial Court, the Carriage and Horse Gang will be dispatched by the Imperial Court. And the chariot and horse gang has always been alienated from the imperial court, and those who are rolling on the rivers and lakes also lack loyalty to the imperial court, and there is no drive if there is no interest.
Liu Yu was not embarrassed by a strong man, and Qu Shu also said that he would go back to discuss it before making a decision. sent Qu Shu away, and the interrogation situation on Tong Liu's side was also reported. Tong Liu's death refused to admit that he colluded with the chaotic party, but said that he inadvertently found clues, originally Tong Liuqu beat up Liu Yue was more willing to believe that this was true, the more indomitable he was, the more doubtful Liu Yue was about the truth of the matter.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, Liu Yu would not let the matter stay overnight, and summoned Lan He and the old officials of Yuan Bolang's faction to the palace for questioning in the name of the Son of Heaven. These people are also the group of people reported by Tong Liu.
In the temple of Jae. There were fourteen Lan Xiang and the ministers. met Liu Yu and the new Tianzi, as well as Tong Liu, who was beaten and had half his life left.
"Lan Xiang, it seems that the subordinates in your discipline mansion are not very good." Liu Yu said sarcastically, "Look at your doorman, he actually came to the palace to report that you colluded with these people to rebel, and brought evidence." Shouldn't the blue hue be explained? ”
Lan He was still wondering why Liu Yu was looking for these people to come, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to buckle the big basin as soon as he opened his mouth, Lan He quickly knelt down and said, "Go back to Your Majesty." Marquis Wuyi, this matter is purely framed. ”
Other ministers implicated in the matter also knelt down and refused to admit their guilt.
Liu Yu smiled coldly on his face and said, "That Lan Xiang has seen this thing?" ”
Liu Yu took out the incriminating evidence presented by Tong Liu and showed it in front of Lan He, Lan He took a look, and after looking at it carefully, there was a look of doubt on his face, it seemed that he was not familiar with the handwriting of Su Zhe, the king of Chu, Su Zhe was originally inconspicuous, and he was dismissed after Su Zhe rose, and there was no communication between the two.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, Wuyi Hou Mingjian. The old minister had never seen this letter, nor did he dare to discuss the affairs of the heavenly family with anyone......"
Liu Yue saw that he looked innocent and wronged. The heart said that if he really did it, this acting skill would be very high.
Liu Yu said: "Lan Xiang, I have a question I want to ask you, but I haven't had a chance." ”
Lan He became nervous, now at this juncture, Liu Yu's problem is likely to be related to the fate of the Lan family, the new son of heaven ascended the throne, if he did not clean up some old factions, it would be difficult to stabilize Chang'an City, and Lan He first took refuge in Liu Yu and then betrayed Yuan Bolang, he would definitely suffer Liu Yu's revenge.
"Marquis Wuyi, please speak."
Liu Yu stepped forward and asked kindly, "I don't know about the marriage between Ling Sun and Sui Fu Yin, but the date has been set?" ”
Lan He was slightly stunned, this is the question that Liu Yu has always wanted to ask him? With his political consciousness, he still can't understand the reason why Liu Yu asked this sentence.
"It was decided, but last year, Sui Mansion Yin went out with the army, and it was not returned until the end of the year, and there is no further discussion."
"Oh, then hurry up and settle down, and I'll also ask for a glass of wine to drink." Liu Yu stepped forward to help Lan He and said, "Lan Xiang, please get up." ”
Lan He was helped up, and when he saw Liu Yu turn back, he wiped a cold sweat, and he still felt a chill in the North Pole. He didn't understand Liu Yu's actions, it stands to reason that now that he has been framed for rebellion, and there is "evidence of crime", he should take this opportunity to completely eradicate him and put an end to future troubles. Liu Yu's kindness made him unbearable.
Liu Yu said: "This matter cannot be convicted only on the basis of a burned unrecognizable letter, so I will not mention this matter for the time being." ”
After Liu Yu said this, other officials of Yuan Bolang's old school also breathed a sigh of relief. After that, Liu Yu asked Tong Liu to escort him down, leaving Lan and the narration alone.
Liu Yue's narration with Lan He is not troublesome, Liu Yu just asked him to temporarily "retire", which is tantamount to persuading him to retire. As compensation, Liu Yu promised to promote Lan He's eldest son, Lan Fu, to Zhongshu Ling, which is equivalent to the deputy minister. After the post of Zuo Prime Minister was dismissed, he was no longer in office, which means that Han was promoted to the sole minister, and the status of the Lan family in the DPRK and China did not change.
Since Liu Yu said everything about this, Lan He also knew that Lu Dao would not leave again in the post of Zuo Xiang, so he would be retaliated against by Liu Yu, so he had to take the initiative to resign, and said that he would take the initiative to hand over the resignation book at the court meeting on the second day, and Liu Yu would no longer bother with this matter.
"Lan Xiang, there is one more thing, I heard that there is a smart and beautiful girl named E'er in your house, I wonder if I can give it to Ben Hou?"
Lan He glanced at the empress behind Liu Yu, and didn't quite understand Liu Yu's intentions, he dared to ask him to ask for a woman in front of the empress?
"Marquis Wuyi likes it, and the old minister will ask someone to send him to the palace tomorrow." Although Lan He didn't know Liu Yu's intentions, he hurriedly said respectfully. Since Liu Yudu knew that there was such a person in his house, there must be one, although Lan He didn't know whether Lu Dao'er existed.
"I can't wait for tomorrow, just tonight, I'll send someone to go to the mansion with Lan Xiang to get people."
Lan He smiled awkwardly and said, "That's very good." ”
Once the report of rebellion without substantiation was investigated, Liu Yu persuaded Zuo Xiang to retire, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, it was a business for Liu Yu that only made money and did not lose money. Liu Yu sent Qi'er back to the inner court, and went to the side hall of the palace where Tong Liu was imprisoned alone, at this time Tong Liu leaned in the corner like a living dead, and when he saw Liu Yu coming in, he suddenly seemed to be alive and knelt down to beg for mercy, shouting that everything was the truth.
Liu Yu squatted down, looked at Tong Liu, and said: "Tong Liu, there are some things you have to tell the truth, if you tell the truth, Ben Hou will let you reunite with E'er, be a pair of inseparable mandarin ducks for the rest of your life, have a house and a field and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, if you still hold on to it and refuse to tell the truth, then Ben Hou ......"
When Liu Yu spoke, he noticed that there was a little flickering in Tong Liu's eyes, and he knew that Dao was roughly right.
"Master Hou, you ...... What will happen? Tong Liu didn't hear Liu Yu say the last half of the sentence for a long time, and asked.
"Ben Hou will dismantle E'er into eight pieces and let you watch from the side, and there is nothing to be done about it......
Tong Liu's body trembled and did not speak.
"Don't believe me?" Liu Yu asked.
“…… The letter ...... "Tong Liudao," Master Hou, the villain has a request, before the villain tells the truth, can the villain see E'er?" The villain's life is nothing, but the villain swore that he couldn't let E'er suffer...... The villain has such a small extravagant hope left in his life, I beg you to fulfill ......"
