Chapter 661: I deserve a good name, and evil things are faked to others
Originally, killing a few people was nothing, Liu Yu didn't even let go of the group of Confucians and Confucian officials in Huaibei Province, let alone a group of students. But the crux of the problem is that at the cusp of this storm, the imperial court was about to unite with the outside world, but such a "friendly country was surprised" incident, and the students made trouble, which was tantamount to pushing the public opinion tendency of Chang'an City to the side of the Three Puritans.
As Lian Husheng killed the students at the palace gate, and then hung some student representatives on the palace gate to show the public, more people participated in this "farce" of denouncing the imperial court, first some officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then some old ministers of the court, their news was obtained quickly, and then they expressed their solidarity with this group of students and denounced the behavior of the imperial court to ban Buddha and the forbidden way.
"Who said that the imperial court should ban Buddha and Taoism?" Liu Yu didn't want to make too much trouble, so he directly called all the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Taixue and University Professors who came to cheer for the students to the courtyard outside the Yaqian Hall, and reiterated his position in public, "Last night, I just wanted to search for the chaotic parties and cultists that may be hidden in the Buddhist temple, and the purpose of investigating the Taoist temple is the same. Whether it is a monk or an ordinary Buddhist and Taoist believer, after the matter is settled, they will let them return to the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple to continue their practice. The imperial court did not intend to ban the Buddha or the Tao! ”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, the officials and teachers below were still very dissatisfied, in fact, they were very dissatisfied with Liu Yu himself. By killing students at the gate of the palace, they were even more arrogant, thinking that Liu Yu's actions could only prove that he was lying, and the fact was that Liu Yu could not tolerate the existence of religion in the Dashun Dynasty, and the same was true of the Three Qing Religions, and the same was true of Buddhism and Taoism.
At this time. In the face of the crowd of people who come to denounce it. Liu Yue knew that if he didn't do something, these people would not give up. Originally, he just wanted to quickly appease those who had opinions about this in the DPRK and China. He didn't expect that there were so many people with opinions, and so far, he could only deal with Lian Husheng first and suppress the limelight for the time being.
Liu Yu ordered Lian Husheng to be imprisoned and wait for his fate, and at the same time completely handed over the palace guards to the new army, temporarily dispatched Huo Yi as the presidential leader of the palace guards, and at the same time rebuilt the structure of the Imperial Forest Army.
Liu Yu gave a few decrees in the Yaqian Palace. finally suppressed the anger of the group of people outside for the time being, and as far as Liu Yu knew, the group of students at the gate of the palace had not dispersed at this time, and more and more people had gathered.
"Ministers." After Liu Yu issued the decree, he walked out of the Yaqian Hall again, and said in public, "Now is the time when the imperial court is worried about internal and external difficulties, if the problem of the Three Puritans is not handled well, then Chang'an City will not be peaceful, and then the Turks in the north and Goryeo in the northeast." and the countries of the Western Regions, all of which will plot the territory of the Great Shun Dynasty......"
Liu Yu deliberately said it very seriously. Raising the level of the problem to the security of the country and the nation, all this made him feel that he was reading from the book, "You hurry up and advise those scholars to go back, and the court will give them an explanation." In addition, if Marquis Yong led troops to the palace, at that time, it would not only kill one or two people, but kill too many, don't say that the court is ruthless, say that I am ruthless! ”
is a person who is familiar with Liu Yu, and when he heard Liu Yu's words, he also felt a chill coming out of his heart. Liu Yu was warning these people that if they didn't quickly persuade the group of students away, the imperial court might carry out a massacre at the palace gate next. They were all thinking in their hearts, isn't this king afraid of falling into infamy for eternity?
Liu Yu doesn't care about infamy or not, his principle is to live in the moment, whoever makes him uncomfortable, he will make him ten times uncomfortable. Now even killing people alive and killing people is just trying to make an example of a hundred, since the goal has not been achieved, but it has made this group of people more unscrupulous and think that it is the axiom on their side, so they can be so unscrupulous to make him uncomfortable, then he has no reason to sit idly by, and it doesn't matter if he kills hundreds of people instead.
Liu Yu saw that the group of officials outside who were out of the way for the students had no intention of leaving for the time being, so he snorted coldly and returned to the Yaqian Palace, while blaming Lian Yusheng in his heart, there was also an evil fire in his heart. He had to teach these arrogant Confucians and students who thought he was so great, and who were in charge of etiquette and public opinion.
Han Sheng saw that Liu Yu's face was abnormal, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Little Brother Liu, don't mess around for the time being, let the old man go and persuade them first." If they are old, they will still listen to it somewhat. ”
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "There is Brother Lao Han." ”
Liu Yu saw Han Sheng go out, and glanced at Sui Yu who was sitting on the side, now that the matter of disaster relief has been discussed, and is about to be implemented, he encountered such a thing. Liu Yu wanted to discuss this matter with Sui Yu, but in fact, he just wanted to find a listener and "exchange feelings" by the way. At this time, Liao Mingsheng, the capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, asked to see him outside.
Liao Mingsheng came here before, Liu Yu arranged something for him, and Liao Mingsheng left, who knew that he turned back again. Liu Yu still doesn't know what to do, in fact, the idea of killing a hundred people was revealed by him to Lian Husheng, but in fact, Liao Mingsheng was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Liao Mingsheng knows how to grasp Liu Yu's thoughts, in fact, what he said is right, Liu Yu really doesn't have a good impression of that group of students, Liu Yu in power and the students who challenge the power obviously will not get along, but Liao Mingsheng also knows that with Liu Yu's current status, it is not easy to deal with that group of students, and he will not be the first bird. So he had to indirectly reveal the middle joint to Lian Husheng, and let Lian Husheng, a "fool", light the explosive barrel. The thing was done, he didn't have any responsibility, and he took revenge on Lian Husheng for his disrespect to him, and Liu Yu was also able to pass the test, killing multiple birds with one stone.
"Mingsheng, why did you come back?" Liu Yu was not very friendly to Liao Mingsheng, who disturbed his exchange of experiences with Sui Yu, and his eyes were also a little angry when he looked over. His eyes seemed to remind Liao Mingsheng that you shouldn't be here at this time.
"Lord Wang, there is also a list here, which has just been summarized and dedicated to the Lord for reference."
Liu Yu frowned, these days, Liao Mingsheng has indeed submitted a lot of "lists", in fact, Liao Mingsheng has obtained a list of officials related to the Three Puritans through investigation. This list is mixed, some may be related to the Three Puritans, some are just sympathetic, or there are relatives in the family who have participated in the activities of the Three Puritans or believe in religion, Liu Yu felt that dealing with these things would have too much impact, so he kept holding back and did not make a fuss about this matter.
"List? Take it. Liu Yu wanted to see what was different from Liao Mingsheng's list.
Liao Mingsheng handed the list forward, Liu Yu couldn't help frowning when he looked at it, although with Liu Yu's current position, even if he was not familiar with the people of the Yamen in the middle of the court, he knew the names of the Dao, but these names were very obscure, and only a few people seemed to have seen them for a long time, and he couldn't remember which yamen it was for a while.
Liu Yu didn't deal with those important yamen officials, and Liu Yu didn't want to embarrass these sesame mung bean-like people. But Liu Yu seemed to understand something from the slightly treacherous smile on Liao Mingsheng's face.
"These are the lists of students." Liu Yu asked.
"Lord Mingjian, that's true. His Majesty first went to investigate the slain students and learned that they were ...... There is a connection with the Three Puritans, and he was bewitched by the Three Puritans to make trouble with the imperial court. What Yichen thought, it should be that even the general knew about this, so he would fight each other with soldiers and kill a few people to set the record straight. ”
Liu Yu couldn't help sighing, this Liao Mingsheng is really good at rounding. Isn't that tantamount to framing?
However, Liu Yue thought about it, this is indeed a good idea, as long as the list is announced, it is said that these students have colluded with cults such as the Three Puritans, and the Three Puritans first arranged for some people to set fire to the city to cause chaos, and then used their meticulous work in the university and Taixue to instigate the students to make trouble. It's just that the imperial court "saw everything" and made discoveries early, so it made an example.
Liu Yu looked at Sui Yu, Sui Yu immediately avoided his gaze, Liu Yu sighed bitterly in his heart, Liao Mingsheng said these words, only Sui Yu really listened to them, and Sui Yu also knew what he was going to do, that is, to frame that group of students for having connections with the Three Puritans. This thing is not small, it is not big, anyway, it is two official words, what is what.
"Sui Zhongshu Ling, what do you think?" Liu Yu asked Sui Yu.
Sui Yu was afraid that Liu Yu would ask her for her opinion on this matter, and with her character, she tried not to get involved in the power struggle between the DPRK and China. Once encountered, she also chose to watch from the sidelines, because the main purpose of her entry into the dynasty was that she really liked to prove her ability, especially in front of Liu Yu, and secondly, she wanted to maintain the Sui family's status in Chang'an City in the future. The Sui family has risen from a merchant family to a hot official family in Chang'an City, which has a lot to do with the rise of her status, and her limelight is even above her brother Sui Yi.
"Xiaguan ......" Sui Yu lowered her head slightly, and asked like a little woman, "Can you just ask?" ”
Liu Yu smiled, he understood what Sui Yu meant, even if she heard it, she shouldn't have heard it.
Liu Yu did not immediately make a clear statement, and said to Liao Mingsheng: "This matter is up to you Mingsheng for the time being, as for the method, you can decide by yourself." ”
Liao Mingsheng also had a wry smile in his heart, he came to offer advice to Liu Yu this time, but Liu Yue did not accept it, but kicked the ball back to him, although it was to give him the right to judge, but it was also equivalent to giving him an unguaranteed promise. Whether he handles it well or not is really similar to Lian Yusheng, and everything must be subordinated to the interests and losses of the political power struggle. Even if he does things well, he may be held accountable by Liu Yu afterwards.
But Liao Mingsheng is very "sensible", he understands that the only way for him to get to the top is to rely on Liu Yu's promotion. Now is the time when Liu Yue has a problem, if he can't jump out to solve it, then what's the use of Liu Yue keeping him by his side? He refuses to take this dirty work, so he will wait to be a small official in the local area in the future, and he will not have to do anything.
"Don't worry, the minister knows how to do it. Then the minister went to tell the people outside and told them why General Lian killed those students......"
"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded and didn't say anything more. Now that Liao Mingsheng is by his side, he does do some "bad things", and he doesn't have to do it himself, which saves a lot of trouble. (To be continued......)
