The sacrifice mentioned by Sui Yi involves time, place, scale and preparation, and because of the importance of the sacrifice, what Sui Yi said must be in a public place such as Fengcui Palace, and cannot be taken to the Yaqian Hall to discuss privately.

As soon as the Ministry of Rites came forward, half an hour passed directly, and everyone was waiting for the end of this half hour. When Sui Yi had just finished the invitation and received the approval of the new emperor, it was his turn to discuss the next thing, and a group of relatives of the Su family emperor who were in the back of the Fengcui Palace couldn't wait to come forward to invite.

Originally, after the matter of the sacrifice was finished, Han Sheng wanted to ask for something about taxes, but he saw three people coming over, as the head of the former intelligence agency, Han Sheng naturally recognized them, although these people did not come forward often, but they were the descendants of the Su family with titles.

Among these three people, the leader is Su Zhongyun, the prince of Nanye County, who is the same generation as the old emperor Su Yunyang, and has a cousin-nephew relationship with Su Yan. And the other two, both of whom are county dukes, have inherited them for several generations, and they don't even have to go to the domain, and they can enjoy the rent of Yulu and Tian in Chang'an City every month, and they can eat and wait for death.

Su Zhongyun is close to the age of six, and he looks very graceful, Liu Yue looked at it and thought that this old guy would not have to have high blood pressure to cause a series of illnesses in a few years, and the other two were very young, one in his twenties and one in his thirties, obviously to support the scene. Liu Yu also knows that the prince and grandson of the Su family are having a very hard time, although the surname is still Su, but everyone knows that Liu Yu will change his surname to "Liu" at any time. In the eyes of outsiders, the previous cases of the feudal kings and feudal lords fleeing south are developing towards the crime of "rebellion", which is the threat of Liu Yu in order to eradicate the Su family's royal family.

Now the whole Chang'an City. There are fewer and fewer members of the royal family who are qualified to appear in court. Even if there are a few highly qualified. also learned to protect himself, so today only Su Zhongyun and the two juniors are the first birds.

I saw Su Zhongyun walking in front of the hundred official columns, kneeling on the ground, holding a notebook, although many courtiers knew what he was playing, but they were still surprised to look at him after that. Because of his appearance, it is tantamount to being exposed to Liu Yu's gun. What happened to the royal people who offended Liu Yu, the court officials all knew it, and none of them had a good end.

Qi'er didn't recognize who this old guy was, and Su Zhongyun knelt there, and didn't say a word for a long time, nor did he report to his home. Liu Yu also knew who Su Zhongyun was through Han Sheng's reminder yesterday, and of course Liu Yu also knew what he mentioned in the transcript, which was about amnesty.

The old minister thought...... His Majesty's ...... Enthronement ...... Yes, since ascending the throne, the wind and rain have been smooth. Guotai Min'an ......" Su Zhongyun began to speak in very tongue-twisted words.

Liu Yu interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute." Nanye Prefecture Gong. Can you get straight to the point? Praise and flattery can also be dispensed with. ”

Su Zhongyun obviously didn't hear Liu Yu's words, Liu Yu was saying there, and he was also saying, "...... His Majesty personally conquered the south, and ordered ...... The land is stable, the four fields are submitted, and we will wait...... Feel the grace of heaven on the top, feel the thick earth on the bottom, and the merits of your majesty will be eternal...... Spread ......"

The words were obviously designed a long time ago, and it is difficult to say whether he wrote it or not, but it is obvious that he was memorizing by rote in the court, and the words of a seat are calloused. This made Liu Yu quite helpless.

In a court, the Son of Heaven can decide the attitude towards his courtiers, and a Son of Heaven usually has only one attitude, either modest, or tough, or moderate in hardness and softness. Obviously, Qi'er belongs to the kind of emperor who is very modest, because she doesn't understand anything and needs Liu Yu's help. The emperor's attitude is easy for people to ponder, but the attitude of the courtiers, because there are too many people, is not something that the emperor can speculate one by one.

Some ministers like to do practical things and talk about the key points, while some ministers like to sing praises and praise virtues, a hundred courtiers have a hundred kinds of psychology, and of course, a hundred courtiers have a hundred different emperors in their minds. It can't be said that any kind of courtier must be good, those who can rank in the court class have their own uniqueness, and his father and ancestors have uniqueness, which is also a good thing for him to cast. Liu Yue knows very well that this kind of sycophancy is the kind of person who hides a knife behind his back, and the more flattering he says on the surface, the more he has a set of unsightly skills behind his back. For example, today's Su Zhongyun, Liu Yue knows very well that he is not here to sing praises of virtue, but the one who is looking for trouble.

Liu Yu kept beating him, and Quan listened to his nonsense. Su Zhongyun talked eloquently there, and after talking for a while, he finished singing the praises of virtue. Liu Yu thought to himself, this should be the point, right?

Who knew that Su Zhongyun suddenly fell to the ground and said, "...... We wish your majesty long live and the foundation of the Shun dynasty will be prosperous forever......"

The minister next to him was very unhappy when he said this, and he said this as if he wanted all the ministers to bow down with him and come together to "congratulate" His Majesty Long live. But in fact, Su Zhongyun has no qualifications in the court, and others don't need to listen to what he says. Therefore he knelt down for half a day, and no one answered. Only a few ministers standing in the front row were looking at him, just looking at him, and after a long time, everyone realized that something was not quite right.

"Nanye County Gong is too polite, Your Majesty will let you get up." Liu Yu couldn't help it and said.

But he saw Su Zhongyun's head tilted and lay on his back on the main hall, so that the people in the hall knew that Su Zhongyun was not kneeling there and couldn't get up, but fainted.

As a result, there was a little chaos in the hall, and when the guards entered the door to carry people to Su Zhongyun's treatment, the ministers were also discussing among themselves, and they all felt that this Su Zhongyun was too useless, and he fainted after saying a few words.

Su Zhongyun was carried down, his recital book was still on the ground, and the two descendants of the Su family who supported the scene brought by Su Zhongyun obviously didn't want to be the first bird. They did not dare to pick up the book of amnesty on the ground.

Soon the hall fell silent again.

Liu Yu pointed to the female officer next to him and said, "Go down and bring it up." ”

"Yes." The female officer answered, walked down the jade steps, picked up the notebook, and sent it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked at it, it was basically the same as what Han Sheng said yesterday, it was a transcript of some people jointly applying for amnesty. The drunkard's intention is not to drink, about whether the world should be amnesty. These people don't care about that. Mainly for the royal family of the Su family. They managed to rescue with such a roundabout tactic.

Liu Yu handed over the notebook to Qi'er, Qi'er took it in her hand, opened it decently and looked at it, in fact, she recognized most of the words on the notebook, but when they got together, she didn't understand what it meant. There were many obscure phrases that she had never seen before.

Qi'er looked up at Liu Yu, looking confused and a little difficult. Because she didn't know what to say.

Liu Yu smiled at Qi'er's encouragement, turned to look at the courtiers below and said, "Nanye County Gonggong please amnesty, all the ministers, I don't know what to think?" ”

Liu Yu's words made the hall lively.

If there is no assembly, it cannot be called a court, and if there is no discussion, it cannot be called a court. Therefore, in the three-day court meeting of the Shun Dynasty. Hundreds of officials can be discussed, but the time must be mastered. It was when the emperor asked the following opinions in general. At this time, the officials can discuss with each other, and then each group will give the same or different opinions.

Usually this kind of voice is not too loud, because it is not a big thing, and everyone does not need to participate. But the first thing outside of today's sacrifice is that it involves amnesty, which the emperor can completely ignore in this kind of recital, but since Liu Yu mentioned it in public, it means that the emperor also has the meaning of amnesty, and the reaction of the court officials below is relatively large.

Liu Yu looked at the courtiers below who were discussing, thinking that these courtiers were all treacherous and cunning people, even if they were jointly signed in the amnesty book, they might say the reason why they did not agree to the amnesty at this time. It depends mainly on the attitude of those in power, that is, Liu Yu's reaction.

Now Liu Yu asked the following meaning, that is to say, there is room for accommodation in the matter of amnesty, and those who support this matter will definitely try their best to fight for it. But those court officials will think that the result of the struggle is to be the first bird, because the amnesty is a disguise, and it is true to save the princes and grandsons of the Su family, and whoever comes out to say that it is who is the enemy of Liu Yue.

After some deliberation, the hall fell silent again. Everyone stood silently, and no one came out to speak.

"Ministers, whoever has an opinion, let it be clear."

Liu Yu said a word, but no one replied. Everyone was silent, even if they didn't support it, they didn't want to come out for fear of going against Liu Yu's intentions.

Liu Yu saw that no one would come out if he asked this, so he had to be flexible.

"Amnesty, involving the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department, what do you think, do you think that amnesty is feasible?"

Liu Yu threw the question to Wang Jian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and everyone immediately focused on Wang Jian.

The courtiers all felt that the current Wang Jian must be very close to Liu Yue, and Liu Yu had previously learned that someone was trying to rescue the relatives of Emperor Su today, and now asked Wang Jian, he must have greeted Wang Jian and instructed him what to say. Everyone else wants to understand Liu Yue's general attitude from Wang Jian's answer, to figure out what the way out of this matter is, and then reply.

But the fact is that the current Wang Jian is also difficult to ride a tiger, because Liu Yu only met with him after returning to Chang'an City, and he didn't even say a word, let alone give advice. Now that Liu Yu asked him what he meant, he was really asking him what he meant, not using his mouth to say what Liu Yu meant.

"The minister thinks ......" Wang Jian is in difficulty, if he wants to deal with the case, what crime should be convicted, or to extract confessions, he has a very good set, that is, to deal with the relationship with the emperor, he is also very handy, but today Liu Yu gave him a big problem.

Wang Jian is also very smart, don't others want to know what I mean to understand the meaning of King Lin? Then I will be very embarrassed, let you know the way, I don't know what is going on in this matter, don't use my attitude as an excuse for you to find a way.

After saying three words, Wang Jian stopped talking. It is tantamount to telling those who are observing him that I am also in trouble.

Liu Yu asked, "Wang Shangshu, you can say whatever you want." ”

Wang Jian nodded and said: "The minister thinks that the matter of amnesty can be discussed in the long run, and when and how it should be amnestied, it should not be rushed......"

Liu Yu couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and he thought about it in the long run. If you say it, you don't say it, Wang Jian is a retreat, she doesn't want to be a bird, and her words are also very tactful, in fact, after careful study, Wang Jian is right. Amnesty, it is true that it should not be rushed, this should be studied without studying, he just stated an established fact, and did not mix any personal opinions.

After Wang Jian finished speaking, the other ministers felt that the wind was not in the right direction. They could feel that Wang Jian was completely perfunctory, if this was also Liu Yu's attitude. Then Liu Yueda can veto it in one sentence. Why do you still ask what Wang Hu means? It is to borrow the mouth of Wang Hu. To tell the people of the world that the matter of amnesty should be "considered in the long run"?

"Dali Temple." Liu Yu snorted, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Liu Yu's voice fell, and Wu Lin, the secretary of Dali Temple, stepped forward with a somewhat embarrassed look. This is clear that the amnesty involves the judiciary, and the justice of the Shun Dynasty is subject to the three divisions, as well as the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department. Although the three divisions have their own responsibilities, in the final analysis, they are all for the sake of justice.

Wu Lin walked up and saluted respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King, the minister thinks that the matter of amnesty should be ...... Think long way. ”

Wu Lin is a "qualified" Dali Siqing, the first prefect in charge of the prison, he is not suitable to form a gang, so in the political struggle, there are few such roles as Dali Siqing. Because he is not in power or in charge of soldiers, he is in charge of a yamen. He didn't need to ask more than the yamen.

But after the end of the political struggle, Dali Siqing will show his head, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, several times raided the mansion of the criminal official, or the mansion of the rebel minister, there is the figure of Dali Siqing.

Liu Yu was not surprised, Wu Lin didn't want to stand aside in politics, which was also what he meant to protect himself. At this point, Liu Yu can't force the minister to form a gang.

"If you say it, you two are the officials in charge of the prison in my Dashun Dynasty, why don't you even have an opinion on the amnesty? You go back and take a closer look, even if you don't have any ideas now, you have to have it after the court meeting, and you will go to the Yaqian Hall to play again before nightfall today. ”

Liu Yu said a word, and Wu Lin and Wang Jian bowed down to receive the order. Liu Yue is tantamount to changing this matter from public discussion to private discussion, which is obviously Liu Yue's move to disagree with the amnesty. However, the court officials are still not sure, since Liu Yue does not agree, there is no need to mention this matter at all, Liu Yue has some superfluous intentions in doing this.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" After Liu Yu reprimanded Wang Jian and Wu Lin, he suddenly drank again.

"Minister...... The minister is here. A voice sounded from behind, and then Shi Baiyu, the capital of the Imperial Palace, stepped forward and saluted.

"Baidu Yushi, tell me, is it feasible to have an amnesty? This king doesn't want to listen to anything in the long run. Liu Yu looked at Bai Yu's appearance, a little cold.

Unlike Wu Lin and Wang Jian, Bai Yu is now very unstable in his position. Mainly because there was an unknown deputy capital of the imperial history Sui Yi, who was a vassal of Liu Yu, and later came to the Su Yan Dynasty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was occupied by Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng, and later, after Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng were killed one after another, Su Yan successively placed some trusted people on this son, until the new emperor ascended the throne Liu Yu was in power, he did not return to the throne.

Without qualifications, it is natural to "tell the truth".

"The minister thinks that the matter of amnesty is ...... Feasible! The minister seconded. Bai Yu said something that none of the ministers present dared to say.

Everyone observed Liu Yu's face and wondered whether Liu Yue was relieved or angry. But seeing Liu Yu's expression, the modern one is a little "weird".

"Hmm." Liu Yu raised his right hand, pointed to the white elm under the jade steps, and said, "Look at it, this is what the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should say, either seconded or disagreed, it should be said clearly, what to say from the long term, it is clear that you don't want to share your Majesty's worries, is this what the ministers do?" ”

Liu Yu said this, which was equivalent to praising Bai Yu in public, which made Bai Yu's face very bright. Some officials also felt disdainful, and said that if they stepped forward earlier, they would not have to be robbed of the limelight by Bai Yu.

"His Royal Highness the King praised it falsely...... I don't dare to be ashamed. Bai Yu smiled and saluted.

The court officials thought that even if Liu Yu would not reward Bai Yu, they would praise him a few more words, but who knew that Liu Yu's tone suddenly changed.

"Others say that they dare not be ashamed, but this king thinks that he is humble, and you dare not be ashamed...... Baidu Yushi, you really don't dare to be. ”

Liu Yu's words surprised everyone present. Everyone thought to themselves, Liu Yu to Bai Yu, is this a praise or a loss?

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness!" Liu Yu shouted, "Baidu Yushi, this king asks you, do you have a nephew who beat people on the street the month before last and killed them?" ”

As soon as Bai Yu heard Liu Yu say this in public, his body shook, and the green tendons on his head burst out, and he said, "Yes." ”

"Alas!" Liu Yu sighed and said, "My officials of the Great Shun Dynasty are like this, they may be fair to others, but once they involve themselves, they lose common sense and law, and they have to think about bending the law." Thinking of the nephew of Baidu Yushi, who killed people on the street, he was first convicted and sentenced to death for the Xicheng Yamen, and then sentenced to beheading in prison, then sentenced to exile for Jingzhao Mansion, and then reviewed by the Criminal Department for three years in prison. If there is an amnesty today, your nephew, killing people in the street is equivalent to not killing him...... The laws of my Great Shun Dynasty are being played with by you magnates? ”

Liu Yu's words made the audience silent.

It's not a big thing, but if you kill someone on the street and make a decision, there is no problem at all. Even if the crime is suppressed through relationships, it is commonplace, and no one present feels that there is a problem. But the crux of the matter is that Liu Yu learned about it and wanted to use the topic to play, so the problem was big.

As soon as Liu Yu said this, Bai Yu's seconding of the amnesty was regarded as favoritism, rather than a matter of facts.

Liu Yu said: "Baidu Yushi, it seems that you are old and frail, you really shouldn't occupy such a position in the capital Yushi, it's better to go back and recuperate." ”

Bai Yu originally thought that Liu Yu was going to ask him for his guilt, but he was terrified in his heart, and heard that Liu Yu just asked him to go back to live in his old age, as if the emperor had granted amnesty, kneeling on the ground and bowing continuously.

Liu Yu didn't want to kill Bai Yu, first of all, Bai Yu was an old minister of the first emperor's dynasty, and he didn't involve the problem of standing in the wrong line. At the beginning of the year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Su Dian rebelled, and no one in the three divisions participated, and Bai Yu can also be said to have made a contribution. In this way, after the fact, the three divisions can be used to launch the suppression of the rebels, without starting from within the three divisions of the law enforcement agencies.

Now the reason why Liu Yu wants to take down Baiyu is mainly because Baiyu's "can be of great use" is really not of great use, and such a person who takes the mediocrity as his own responsibility cannot achieve great things. Now, Liu Yu just wants to take the opportunity to promote Liao Mingsheng and place him in an "important" position. (To be continued......)
