Chapter 413: Each Calculates (Part II)

8807

If people are unlucky, they will plug their teeth when they drink cold water, and if they are unlucky, they may knock off their front teeth when they drink cold water, there is no doubt that Liu Xun in the service is undoubtedly the most unlucky guy who has just climbed to the apex of his life, and is planning to show his talents in his chest, and add his own proud work to such a splendid picture scroll in the Tang Dynasty, but in a blink of an eye, he fell from heaven to hell, not only the eldest son went to prison, but he was also suspended, which in itself is enough for Liu Xun to be troubled, There was even a small official who accused himself of forging official documents and seeking benefits for his son, which made Liu Xun even more angry and wanted to kill, his old eyes were already red as blood, his teeth were clenched, and his face twitched hideously.

The galloping carriage rushed all the way to the gate of the palace along the East Street of Chang'an City, and before the carriage stopped, Liu Xun jumped out of the carriage with a blue face, and even ignored the greeting of Liu Donghe, the inner attendant, and strode towards the palace gate, however, before he reached the palace gate, several Yulin soldiers had flashed out from the side, blocking Liu Xun's way: stop, show the token.

The officers and soldiers of Yulin recognized Liu Xun as such a dignified prime minister, but they were duty-oriented, and such a shout was just a performance of official duties, but they didn't expect that Liu Xun, who was on the fire, could not tolerate the shouting of the officers and soldiers of Yulin, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: Get out, this official must face the saint immediately!

The officers and soldiers of Yulin are all nobles, all of them are above the top, this time they are performing official duties, and there is no fault, they are unwilling to let Liu Xun shout at will, but listen to a loud noise, this Yulin officers and soldiers not only did not be retreated by Liu Xun, but each drew a knife in their hands, if Liu Xun dared to break in again, he would do it, and the posture made Liu Donghe, who came to the ground, very angry, and yelled: Presumptuous, Your Majesty has a decree to summon Liu Shizhong to meet him, and he will not retreat quickly! Liu Donghe spoke, and the officers and soldiers of Ziyulin did not dare to resist anymore, and they each collected their swords and retreated, but Liu Xun ignored the actions of the officers and soldiers of Yulin at all, snorted coldly, and walked into the palace angrily.

Grandpa Liu, look at this guy, phew! A Yulin military academy captain guarding the palace gate saw that Liu Xun was so blind that his face turned blue with anger, glared at Liu Xun's back, and spat out purulent phlegm with hatred.

That's it, that's it. Liu Donghe knew that Liu Xun was holding a fire in his heart, but he didn't bother to explain more to the captain who guarded the door, shook his hand, and immediately hurried to catch Liu Xun, but he panicked for no reason, and today I am afraid that something big will happen!

See Your Majesty. Liu Xun entered the Ganlu Hall angrily, and didn't look at the important ministers of the court standing on both sides of the hall, but just saluted Li Shimin angrily, and without waiting for Li Shimin to call out, he stood in the middle of the hall with a black face.

Liu Xun's behavior is really rude, Rao is Li Shimin has always been tolerant of others, and it is difficult to tolerate Liu Xun's unworthy behavior, but Li Shimin didn't care too much, just frowned unhappily, and said in a calm tone: Liu Aiqing, Wen Xuanqing, the director of the Ministry of Officials, accused Er of coercing him to forge documents and privately kill Liu Cheng's household department, are you willing to confront him on the spot?

Confronted by confront, the old minister did not do anything wrong, how could he have been afraid of confronting the villain on the spot. Liu Xun's eyes widened, and he shouted wildly.

Seeing Liu Xun behaving like this, the displeasure in Li Shimin's heart was even worse, and the anger on his face flashed, but he didn't have a seizure, but nodded and said: That's good, come here, bring Wen Xuanqing to the palace!

The ministers have been standing in this hall for a long time, not counting the time period before Li Zhen came, just waiting for Liu Donghe to summon Liu Xun has been waiting for more than an hour, seeing that the sky has passed noon, they are all tired and hungry, and they have no spirit, however, when Li Shimin ordered the selection of the Qing Dynasty to enter the hall, everyone and others were all in good spirits, everyone straightened their waists, and waited to watch the play, as for the princes together, although they were expressionless, but their eyes had already shown a nervous look, Even Li Zhen, who has always been steady, is no exception.

Seeing that it is about to come to the time when the poor dagger is seen, it is really impossible for Li Zhen to be nervous Wen Xuanqing is just a small official, although he has some courage, but in the face of the saint and Liu Xun, who has been with him for many years, whether he can withstand it is really worrying, if he can't withstand the pressure, even if it reveals a slight flaw, it will bring extremely serious consequences, which Li Zhen knows in his heart, of course, Li Zhen is not without precautions, but it is really at that time, A trouble is inevitable, and tension is a natural thing.

Suddenly, Wen Xuanqing was carried by several little eunuchs and walked in, although the prison uniform on his body was newly changed and had been wrapped in wounds, but the blood was still pouring out from the wound on his buttocks, dripping blood all the way down his head, and his pale face was like dead ashes.

Weichen Wenxuan Qing knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! Wen Xuanqing has never been to the court, so he doesn't know the court, so he lies down, and he sees Lilly indiscriminately with a trembling voice.

That's it. When Li Shimin saw that Wen Xuanqing was beaten into such a shape, his brows furrowed, and he waved his hand and said: I heard that Liu Xun in the service testified that Liu Xun used power to oppress people and cheat for personal gain, is there anything wrong?

Ah, back to the emperor, it is true, and Weichen does not dare to lie and bully the king. Wen Xuanqing raised his head with a struggling face, and said excitedly.

Fart, Hugh is spewing blood, when has the official seen you, you are such a big dog Liu Xun was already angry, at this time, when he heard Wen Xuanqing's letter, how could he still calm down, Li Shimin didn't open his mouth, he scolded first.

Liu Xun, I didn't let you speak, did you want to bully the king? No matter how well Li Shimin cultivated, he couldn't stand Liu Xun's repeated challenges to his authority, and with a wave of his hand, he interrupted Liu Xun's scolding angrily.

As soon as he saw Li Shimin getting angry, Liu Xun woke up in shock, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: Your Majesty, this thief is open-mouthed, and the old minister is just angry for a while, and he collided with His Majesty, and he knows that he is guilty, please punish Your Majesty.

Hum! Although Li Shimin was angry in his heart, it could be seen that Liu Xun had admitted his mistake in court, and he was not very sorry for himself, so he snorted coldly, even if he had exposed the matter, he didn't pay attention to Liu Xun's plea, and after glancing at Liu Xun, he still looked at Wen Xuan Qingdao: Wen Xuanqing, since you have pointed out Liu Shizhong, then tell the story of the matter in court and confront each other.

Yes, Wechen Honor. Wen Xuanqing's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, and after a little groaning, he said: Your Majesty, Weichen has been in charge of the Ministry for more than 20 years, has always been serious, never at fault, this mistake is all caused by the persecution of Liu Shizhong Zhenguan 18 June 23, when Xun is on vacation, Xia Guan is resting at home, shortly after noon, there is a Liu Mansion Ding found Xia Guan's Mansion, saying that Liu Shi has asked Wen Xuan Qing to repeat the confession again, although the injury is not full of breath, the voice is weak, but in this silence, Everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, and it was no different from the confession submitted by Li Zhen.

Liu Shizhong, do you have any questions about this? After the text was cleared, Li Shimin turned to Liu Xun, who was already trembling with anger, and asked in a flat tone.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this, this, this is a bloody spurting person, ridiculous, ridiculous, the old minister has never even seen this person before today, how can he coerce him to forge official documents, the old minister is really wronged! Liu Xun, who felt aggrieved, almost burst into tears, bowed down, and replied in a trembling tone.

Father, the son thought that what Liu Shi said was the truth, and asked his father to order to behead the people who were deceived by the evil words to calm the world! As soon as Liu Xun's words fell, Li Tai, the king of Wei, immediately stood up and reported loudly.

Father, son, think that since the two sides have their own words, they might as well let the two confront each other to distinguish right from wrong, and ask the father to make a clear decision. As soon as Li Tai's words fell, Li Zhen didn't move, but Li Zhen jumped out and interjected with a straight face.

Zhen'er, since you are the chief judge of this case, then come up with a charter. Li Shimin ignored the reports of Li Tai and Li Su, but looked at Li Zhen, who was silent.

Hey, it seems that the old man really plans to use Liu Xun as a punching bag, so let's push the boat with the water! Li Zhen's heart moved, and he already had an understanding, but his face was still calm, he strode out of the ranks, bowed down and said: Enlighten the father, the son thinks that the reason is not clear, and the matter is not clear, just according to what the sixth brother said, let the two parties interrogate each other in court.

That's right. Li Shimin didn't even think about it, and with a wave of his hand, he approved Li Zhen's invitation.

Liu Xun is a dignified prime minister, and now he has fallen to the point of debating with a small official in court, the desolation in his heart can be imagined, and then he looked at the annoying face of Wen Xuanqing, and the grievances in his heart turned into anger, and he roared angrily: Thief, since you dare to say that you have seen the old man, then tell me who took you to the old man's house, where to discuss the matter, what are the decorations in the room, you say, you say!

Don't look at Liu Xun's anger at this time, but many years of experience are still there, these questions are extremely critical, a person who has never been to the Liu family is impossible to tell the situation of the Liu family, as long as Wen Xuanqing can't answer, or the answer is not what he asked, this confession will naturally be self-defeating, but it's a pity that since Li Zhen is planning to deal with Liu Xun, how can he not think of these details, Liu Xun's question can be regarded as completely accosting himself.

Wen Xuan got Li Zhen's relevant points early in the morning, so naturally he would not be asked, at this time, seeing that Liu Xun really fell into the trap as Li Zhen predicted, a trace of triumph flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly replied: The one who took the lower official to Liu Jiazhuang was a middle-aged man named Liu San, according to his own words, he was the third son of Liu Ada, the old housekeeper of Liu Shizhong's house, and the lower official went to Liu Shizhong's study, there was no one else in the study, the furnishings were simple, except for a desk, a few sons, and four low chairs, there was no other furniture, There is a framed text panel hanging on the south wall, with great rivers and mountains on it, a window on the north side, and a landscape painting on the east side

Wen Xuanqing did not pause to show the furnishings in the study, and never let go of the subtleties, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to have this insight, as soon as these words came out, Liu Xun was dumbfounded at first, and then the fire in his heart was blazing, and he couldn't suppress it anymore, and roared: The old man killed you a thief! Before the words fell, the person had already rushed forward, waving his old arms and legs, and beat Wen Xuanqing who was lying on his stomach, and Wen Xuanqing screamed again and again, and the scene became chaotic.

The fight in front of the king is a serious crime, and all the ministers in the palace did not expect Liu Xun to be rude in the palace, and they were all dumbfounded for a while, and no one stepped forward to pull the rack, and when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Li Shimin's face was so angry that he slapped the dragon table, and said with a broken shout: Presumptuous, come to someone, fork Liu Xun out! Li Shimin gave an order, and the little eunuchs who were waiting in the palace did not dare to slack off, so they rushed up, picked up Liu Xun, dragged him and went out.

Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged, the old minister was not convinced, the old minister did not do this evil thing until he was erected by the eunuchs, Liu Xun woke up, but unfortunately the big mistake has been cast, no matter how much he shouted at this time, it was to no avail, and he was pushed by the eunuchs and slipped out of the Manna Palace.

Li Shimin was obviously very angry with Liu Xun, until Liu Xun was dragged out for a while, and he didn't see Li Shimin sit down, but gritted his teeth and stood behind the dragon table, his chest rose and fell, and after a moment of silence, he said hatefully: Spread my will: I treat Liu Xun with a high position in the service, regard him as a minister of the humerus, and entrust him with state affairs, but his heart is stubborn and so, he does not want to serve the country, and he is favoritism, resulting in the death of the East Palace, and he is a great disappointment, and his disloyalty and filial piety are outrageous. His son Liu Cheng is assigned to Bazhou, and he will never be used!

As soon as Li Shimin's will came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall were all stunned immediately, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, no one could have imagined that Liu Xun would end up like this, but seeing the anger on Li Shimin's face, no one dared to come forward for a while, and there was a death-like silence in the hall.

Alas, it did! Li Zhen knew that Li Shimin would be condemned to Liu Xun, but he didn't expect it to be such a harsh and even harsh treatment, and then he thought that Liu Xun was also unjustly killed in the time and space he came from, although the cause of death was different, but Liu Xun still couldn't escape this catastrophe to the end, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of sadness in his heart, however, this is the cruelty of politics/struggle, although Li Zhen couldn't bear it, but he was also helpless Although Liu Xun was a big mouth, but after all, he was a righteous gentleman, an official was also honest and honest, and his ability was also outstanding. It's a pity that he is not from Li Zhen's side, and it is inevitable to get rid of Liu Xun in order to cut off one of King Wei's arms, of course, Li Zhenzhi did not intend to kill Liu Xun, but he just wanted to remove him, but he didn't expect Liu Xun to act so absurdly, it can be said that his own behavior ruined his last ray of life, which is really pitiful and lamentable.

Father, although Liu Shizhong made mistakes, but the crime did not lead to death, and the son begged his father to take back his fate. Li Zhen sighed in her heart, but her movements were still very fast, and before the ministers could react, she stood up and asked for her life.

Father, the eighth brother said very much, although Liu Shizhong is a little small, but his years of hard work are also rare, and he is the minister of Zaifu, suddenly given death, afraid of attracting things, imploring his father to allow him to return to the forest, for the rest of his life, Fang Xian's father's great grace. Li Tai never imagined that Li Shimin would punish Liu Xun so severely, and was stunned by this shocking will, until Li Zhen begged for help, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stood up and pleaded.

The old ministers and others implore His Majesty to retract his order.

Your Majesty, although Liu Shizhong deserves it, he can be remembered that he is old and confused, and he should be given a chance to reform himself.

Liu Xun is not very good, and there is really no popularity among these important ministers, but the big guy is also an important minister, at this time, seeing Liu Xun's fate so miserable, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

You Aiqing don't need to say much, my will has been decided! Li Shimin simply ignored the pleas of the important ministers, waved his hand, and said in a resolute tone. Seeing that Li Shimin was so behaving, the big guys didn't dare to persuade again, and they stood back to the side of the hall with gloomy expressions, and the hall was strangely quiet again for a while.

Since the eighth brother took charge of the Criminal Department, it can be described as a meritorious service, however, the court has its own system, and the lack of the Criminal Department for a long time is not a fortunate thing, and the eighth brother is only a special case for the temporary receptivity of the Prince, but it is not a long-term solution, for the imperial court system, it is appropriate to list the Criminal Department of Shangshu, the existing Criminal Department of the Ministry of Justice, Xiao Long, who has been familiar with the laws of our dynasty, is able to be loyal, and the sons are willing to have the guarantee of the book of the Criminal Department, and hope that the father and the emperor will be clear. In the silence, Li Ke, the king of Wu, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Father, sons, and ministers are also willing to protect Xiao Long as the secretary of the criminal department, hoping that their father will be gracious. As soon as Li Ke's voice fell, Li Su immediately followed.

Li Ke and his brothers are like this, Li Tai was dumbfounded as if he had fallen into the clouds, Xiao Long, the servant of the Criminal Department, was one of the few remaining important ministers in Li Tai's family, and he had always been Li Tai's henchmen in the Criminal Department, and he had no contact with Li Ke's brothers.

Damn, these two bastards are really such an abacus! Li Tai didn't understand, but Li Zhen was very sober, and he could see at a glance that the two brothers had the same intentions as Li Zhen, both of them were in order to weaken Li Tai's power, but the Li Ke brothers never wanted the criminal department to be completely controlled by Li Zhen, if this is the case, it will only make Li Zhen's already prosperous momentum even more prosperous, it is better to hand over the power of the criminal department back to Li Tai's hands, after the left and right criminal departments were inserted by Li Zhen, Li Tai can no longer fully control the criminal department, The three brothers are now almost the same in strength, and there is such a basis for cooperation between the three British joint war against Li Zhen, and now Liu Xun is about to end, and the two brothers will naturally make a move when it is time to make a move.

I have to say that the timing of the two brothers' shots is really wonderful, this time the Xiangzhou military rations case completely collapsed Liu Zhen, on the surface it seems that Li Zhen played some tricks in it, in fact, Li Zhen himself knows in his heart, even if he doesn't play tricks, the old man will definitely not spare Liu Xun, but unfortunately this truth is only clear to Li Zhen himself, the courtiers are shocked, they may not think so far-reaching, in the eyes of the courtiers, Li Zhen is too domineering, if the criminal department is still in the hands of Li Zhen, If he accidentally offends Li Zhen one day, wouldn't he be killed like Liu Zhen, no one will be willing to bear this result, but now that Li Zhen is in the limelight, no one will be stupid enough to jump out and get along with Li Zhen at such a juncture, of course, it will be even more impossible for them to speak for Li Zhen. As a result, the important ministers in the hall immediately pretended to be mud bodhisattvas, and no one looked at the old man's face.

Father, the son thought that the third brother was right, and the son was also willing to promote Xiao Long as the secretary of the criminal department, and implored the father and the emperor for permission. Although Li Tai had not yet figured out the intentions of Li Ke and his brothers, he would never let go of this opportunity to take back the authority of the Criminal Department, so he hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly.

Damn, it looks like the criminal department can't be saved, the third bastard is really a ruthless person! As soon as Li Zhen saw the appearance of the ministers, he had already guessed the selfishness of the ministers, and he understood that the authority of the Criminal Department was afraid that it would fly away from the palm of his hand, although he was very unwilling, but there was no way, rather than being knocked out of power, it was better to be single, besides, Li Zhen understood that the old man had ordered himself to take charge of the Criminal Department, especially not to give the title of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, I was afraid that it was just for the two cases of Donggong and Xiangzhou, and now the Xiangzhou case has been settled, and the Donggong case is nearing the end. It's time to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Father, the son thought that the court system should not be violated, if there is a suitable candidate for the criminal department of Shangshu, it is a blessing for the court, and the son is happy to see it. As soon as he saw Li Shimin's inquiring gaze sweeping over, Li Zhen stood up without hesitation and said loudly.

The ministers didn't expect Li Zhen to say this, and they were all shocked, and the wooden people couldn't pretend to be, so they discussed in a whisper, and the buzzing sound in the hall suddenly sounded.

Li Shimin frowned, his eyes swept over and over the four princes, but he did not speak out for a long time, nor did he prohibit the private discussions of the courtiers, and there was a rare trace of hesitation on his face
