Chapter 130: The courtiers Zichen Hall on crime
(shortcutβ) (shortcutβ)
At the end of the tenth year of Xining, after Laba ushered in the brightest day of winter, although the weather was still cold, the sun shining on the body still felt warm and soft. But at this moment, the ministers standing in the Zichen Hall did not feel this warmth, no one raised their heads, and the cold air from their hearts was exuded from their hearts by the cold gaze of the emperor on the dragon bed.
Deng Juan lowered his head, didn't say a word, and listened to Li Ding's voice in front of the palace spitting Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the sentence "... Words and deeds are repeated, designed to deceive... The appearance is simple, and the heart is treacherous... First there was the crime of accepting private prostitution, then there was the inferiority of chasing away his wife, and then there was the suspicion of abusing his mother, and now there is a dishonorable act... Evil things are born, and thunder shakes them...... Liu Yanzhang was immoral and rude, sentenced according to the law, and asked His Majesty to depose. β
As soon as his words fell, someone came out and said: "What the adults said is inappropriate, then Liu Yanzhang is just a drunken gaffe, it is Li Rong who did it first, the Confucian Liu Yanzhang is still being treated, Li Rong first insulted his wife, and then hurt people, dare to ask who is not angry?" The minister thought that Li Rong should be sentenced heavily according to the law, and Lord Liu was excited..."
"The Song family of the Liu family is a private prostitute, marrying into an official family as a wife is a rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable, why is Lord Li wrong? But Lord Liu was indignant about this, did he not know or intended to cover it up? Li Dingli interrupted him, looked at the man from top to bottom, and snorted, "You are from the Criminal Department?" It is said that there were dozens of horse-drawn carriages running back and forth in the city last night, going back and forth to various prefectures, I don't know which one the adults received? β
This squire, who was nearly fifty years old, had a red face and a thick neck, and he was about to hit Li Ding with spittle, and said: "You are spewing blood..."
Before he finished his words, the emperor could no longer hide his anger, and smashed down several cases of twists and turns, so frightened that the attendants and ministers around him hung their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to say a word, and the hall fell silent.
"Now that we have been hit by disasters one after another, there are still countless victims who cannot be resettled, how many important things do you have to do? Now he has brought this private matter to the court! Imperial History! How idle is this imperial history now? The Emperor stood up and looked at the ministers standing below, their voices trembling slightly with anger.
"Your Majesty, this is by no means a private matter of the boudoir, according to Li Rong, the Liu family's Song family is really a private prostitute......", Li Ding's face swelled, and he still spoke without fear.
Deng Juan came out of the queue at this moment, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the imperial history has heard about it, and there is no matter how big or small it is," this sentence was considered to be given to Li Ding, but in exchange for Li Ding's cold look, he continued, "The minister thinks that this matter is just a drunken angry statement, and it may not be true, now that all the officials are detained, it is necessary to attract discussion, it is better to interrogate them one by one in private, this matter is really not suitable for publicity." β
Not only did Li Ding listen to what he said, Cai did stand up with a few people, and sneered: "Lord Zhongcheng said that it was funny, before Li Rong, Liu Yanzhang and others gathered to make trouble and the market, now the whole capital is boiling!" Rather than hiding from each other, adults should make a decision as soon as possible to set the record straight! β
Deng Xuan's eyes quietly glanced at the emperor, and saw that his expression was cold, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he couldn't help but secretly touch his sweat.
Standing at the forefront of the team, the two prime ministers, who had been silent, looked at each other at this time, and Wu Chong said in a heavy voice: "What do you think about this?" He asked, but he didn't expect the old fellow to say anything useful.
But today's Wang Jue had a heavy face and said: "Regardless of whether Liu Yanzhang takes a private prostitute as his wife, but now the imperial history says that he is suspected of abusing his mother, and now he has a derelict behavior, and he really has no minister's body, so it is not appropriate to be in the court." β
His voice was not loud or small, so that the people around him and the emperor on the dragon bed happened to hear it, and the three decrees of the prime minister, who had always followed the crowd and did not express his position, actually said this, which made everyone startled.
Deng Wanhan came down in a hurry, what does this old man mean to release Liu Yanzhang? Or rather, deposed? couldn't help but look at Wang Qi with wide eyes, could it be that Liu Yanzhang had ever offended him? To say such cruel words?
At this time, in addition to anger, the emperor was even more sad, his eyes swept over the Manchu Dynasty, and he didn't see anyone who said a word for Liu Yanzhang, his ears were full of Li Dingnana's private prostitution and abuse of his mother, and his eyes fell on the messy folds on the ground, one of which was faintly visible was the copywriting record of Kaifeng Mansion, and the words recorded on it made him even more scorching.
Wrong? The emperor sat down a little dejectedly, remembering that day, the thin young man who stepped into the hall was a little timid and stubborn.
"This is a drunken loss of etiquette, and it is not appropriate to use the wind to talk about the minister's affairs, and the province is responsible for finding out and playing again." The emperor waved his hand a little tiredly, interrupting the discussion between the court and the central government, and the Chinese book was busy answering the order, the emperor said this, Deng Juan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor still wants to favor Liu Yanzhang, who is getting worse and worse.
And the cadres in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, although they don't know what sentence awaits them, but they can also guess that the court must be very lively now, these officials who have always been brightly dressed, or the first time to enter the cell, to see that the surrounding cells are really eating and drinking and urinating pain and the like are in the same room, the air is filled with a sour smell, although the Kaifeng Mansion preferential placement of them alone, but can still hear the cries of the prisoners in other places, cover their noses and carefully find a place to sit.
"Did you send your money?" Someone whispered to each other, "Why is there no news yet?" There was a sigh, and someone said in a trembling voice: "It's just a drunken fight and a loss of etiquette, and it's not really sentenced?" This elicited a low sigh, "Lost in honor? Have you forgotten the consequences of their fights? β
"I didn't say it, I just didn't hear it!" Everyone hurriedly said, eager to take off their ears and hide them.
"We don't say? The officials of Kaifeng Mansion are fools? I'm afraid that I have already asked the people around me and reported to the court to go to the court......", leaning against the wall of the yin tide, sighed, "Let's ask for more blessings." β
This sentence made everyone immediately confused, and they ran to the door, shouting to the officials, asking to see their families, thinking that even if they were bankrupt, they would also give gifts to the place. Only two people were silent at the moment, as if they were out of the way.
Liu Xiaohu was carried into Kaifeng Mansion for diagnosis and treatment, broke a rib, and there was no big problem next to him, bandaged and poured medicine and was carried into the cell, Kaifeng Mansion treated him preferentially, specially set up a large bed, spread a thick quilt, Liu Xiaohu lay on it, and at this time he didn't know whether to sleep or wake up.
Li Rong had already changed his clothes, but his face was still bruised, and he looked a little embarrassed, he was in front of Liu Xiaohu's wooden bed, leaning against the wall and pretending to sleep, and when he saw Liu Xiaohu's feet moving slightly, he sneered and said in a low voice: "I don't understand, how can there be a fool like you?" He laughed at himself again, "There are even people like me who are unlucky... It turned out that Gu had made a wedding dress for someone else. β
Liu Xiaohu turned his head, let out a sullen laugh, and said: "This is called good retribution, evil retribution, and all the calculations around you will be empty." β
As soon as the words fell, he exclaimed in pain, it turned out that Li Rong smashed his fist on his leg, and heard him sneer: "How about the end of the day?" I haven't asked for it yet, and you're destined to be unwanted...... Guard your harlot...... Speaking of which, why didn't you come to visit you? Isn't it time to find a new benefactor again? β
This sentence made Liu Xiaohu cough twice, and said in his mouth: "You ......" seemed to be about to get up, Li Rong picked up her clothes and stood up, clenched her fists, but saw Liu Xiaohu exhale again, and muttered: "Actually... Don't do her business......"
Li Rong was a little surprised, walked a few steps closer, pushed him, and was just about to ask if he was dead, when he heard Liu Xiaohu seem to be crying faintly: "...... Pu Wei is tenacious for a while, and he will be ...... overnight"
"You ......" Li Rong stood up, shook her hand and walked away, turned around again, and said in a low voice, "That's it...... If you don't mess with me again in the future, it's ......"
Three days later, the verdict of Zhongshu Province came down, because everyone testified together, all said that they were drunk, because a few days ago Guan Pu lost some money, there was a dispute, as for those scolding words, no one mentioned, Zhongshu Province also only used a sentence of drunken nonsense and scolded nonsense, the emperor criticized that he was in the government, lost his honor in front of people, and was demoted to a higher rank, Li Rong Liu Yanzhang was fined for one year, and the rest was fined for half a year, and the matter passed, and suffered this unwarranted disaster, although everyone was happy, they were quite dissatisfied with Liu Xiaohu, and no one dared to invite him to eat and drink since then, I'm afraid that I will get into trouble again.
Liu Xiaohu fell asleep since he got home, only to hear the sound of crying in his ears, and woke up impatiently, seeing that Song Yulou didn't make up, his crying face was sallow, and when he woke up, he cried even more, and only said: "Erlang, but it is for me to suffer these hardships......
Liu Xiaohu didn't speak, he looked at her in a daze, Song Yulou was furious by him, the words in the restaurant that day more or less came out, she was beating a drum in her heart, and was thinking about whether to pack up her things and go back to the Daimyo's Mansion, and saw Liu Xiaohu released again, but he was demoted by one position, and he was still a big member in the court, and he was busy thinking about it, and wanted to hold his heart, so he continued to cry: "Since you were arrested, this one said to kill the head and the other said to kill the head, I was scared to death by a woman's family, and we didn't have any relatives, so I had to follow those ladies, I will send them wherever they go, only let Zhang Si go to see you, I will take the girl without fear of losing face, and go to the house of the person in charge......"
Liu Xiaohu interrupted her and said, "Mother doesn't know, right?" β
Song Yulou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I just said that you went out, I don't dare to let her know......" What else to say, I saw Liu Xiaohu twist his face inward, and said lightly: "I'm tired, you can go." Hearing Song Yulou stunned for a moment, he got up and walked out gently, as soon as the door opened and closed, the cold wind under the New Year took the opportunity to come in, it was almost evening, the house was gloomy and gloomy, I don't know when the wind rose, screamed on the tree outside the boat, rolled the roof and went to the street.
Lin Saiyu wrapped her big red makeup sleeve jacket tightly, pressed the delicate green satin skirt that was blown by the wind with one hand, and ran up the steps on tiptoe a few steps.
"It's cold, it's cold." Lin Saiyu stomped his feet twice in the house, took the hot tea in the little girl's hand and ate it, and then his body eased up, and he heard a bang inside, followed by a crackling noise.
"Ancestor, alas, what's wrong?" Lin Saiyu didn't care about cleaning his hands, walked in a few steps, and saw the whole brother who was sitting on the kang writing, and was rubbing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone full of kang tables to the ground, sprinkled ink, and dipped a mattress, and couldn't help shouting: "It's time to fight!" Look at you fooling around! β
The whole brother was startled by her drink, met her angry face, and cried out, pointing: "Bad guy, bad guy, you want to kill me to dominate my father." β
Lin Saiyu didn't mention it in one breath and almost planted it, turned around and glared at the two girls, and went out in a panic when he saw their embarrassed faces.
