"Because of the New Deal."

Zhang Gui replied.

"The New Deal?"

Li Ruzhen smiled bitterly.

"That's right! During the period when Cui Zhijun was sent to the palace by the Li clan of Liaodong and gradually became the godson of Wang Tiqian, the Juntian military service in Jiangnan was in full swing. And although Cui Zhijun was trafficked to Liaodong and became a member of your Li family, and then because he came from Wu and had a Wu accent, he was sent to the palace by your Li family as eyeliner. But this does not mean that he Cui Zhijun does not have close relatives in Jiangnan. Even, Cui Zhijun had already found his closest relatives, and knew that his closest relatives had divided the land in Jiangnan, so he had already been extremely supportive of the new policy, and even secretly took the initiative to confess many things to my West Factory. ”

Zhang Gui said again: "Cui Zhijun hopes that many people in the world can rely on the new deal to achieve food and clothing. And you don't have to be trafficked because of poverty, like him, and even have to become a eunuch in the end! Therefore, your Liaodong Li Clan's small favor is nothing to him who has a big vision! Therefore, not everyone in this world opposes the New Deal, and there are many people who like the New Deal, including many eunuchs in the inner court, Gong E, who also support the New Deal! ”

"Your Li family is using personal favor to take advantage of others, while Xichang is using righteousness to let people take the initiative to support, which is better and which is inferior, it is self-evident."

Apocalypse said at this time.

Li Ruzhen was silent for a long time, and finally said: "No wonder the elder said that he was unwilling to wait any longer, but now it seems that he really can't wait, and if he waits like this, I don't know how many people will become people who support the new policy." ”

As he spoke, Li Ruzhen kowtowed to the apocalypse and said, "Please forgive the sinners for their capital crimes!" For the sake of Liaodong Li's sake, he was born and died for the imperial court. ”

Apocalypse said: "I will not spare you!" Your Li family's merit is meritorious, and you have passed, the golden cup is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiven! When your Li family made meritorious contributions, the imperial court did not reward all the merits that should be rewarded! Now that you Li are rebelling, I have to kill those who should be killed! But I will punish you canonically, let the three law judges judge you, and make sure that the people of the world do not feel that I have wronged you! ”

As he spoke, Tianqi said: "Put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the three law divisions will try Li Ruzhen, Lai Zongdao and others for plotting rebellion!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Next, Li Ruzhen was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, but the people who took care of Li Ruzhen were still guarded by the people from the West Factory.

Because no one is sure whether the people from the Criminal Department will quietly take Li Ruzhen away.

"Copy!"

At the same time, Lai Zongdao, Wang Tiqian, Hou Guoxing and others were also raided, and all the slaves of their clansmen, regardless of age or age, were put in prison.

Liaodong.

Soon after this, Zu Dashou learned the news that Li Ruzhen was captured in the capital.

"What?! Li Sanye was found out? Say he's suspected of rebellion?! ”

Zu Dashou even slapped his eucalyptus in shock because of this.

Wu Sangui, who came to report the matter to him, said: "Uncle, the news sent by the king of the capital to deliver the news in a hurry is absolutely true. ”

After hearing this, Zu Dashou sighed dejectedly: "In this way, Bachelor Wang's use of Lai Zongdao and Ye Chengxue to launch a coup d'état was unsuccessful, and even caused us to put Li Sanye in!" ”

As he spoke, Zu Dashou asked, "What is the court doing with Li Sanye now?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to punish him and order the three law divisions to be tried, presumably to convince the world, knowing that the court has not wronged the Li family, and it is the Li family who has taken the court first. But the more this is the case, the more it shows that His Majesty intends not to be kind to the Li family, but to deal with it strictly! ”

Wu Sangui said.

Zu Dashou sneered: "It's not so easy for Your Majesty to kill Li Sanye!" Uncle Li is better than Qi Shaobao to make friends with the world's powerful families. The Three Divisions will not necessarily follow His Majesty's wishes! ”

As he spoke, Zu Dashou said again: "However, in order to prevent His Majesty from insisting on killing Li Sanye, we have to write a notebook and rush to Beijing to show our attitude towards Liaodi Jiangmen!" If Your Majesty does not kill Li Sanye because of this, it means that Your Majesty has no intention of tearing the door with me, and if Your Majesty wants to kill Li Sanye, it means that the next step is to clean us up! We have to first ask the imperial court to know what our Liaodi generals think, and he Zhu Youxiao can't care less! ”

"What my uncle said is, I'll do it!"

Wu Sangui agreed.

Zu Dashou nodded, and then instructed: "Ask your father and Uncle He, how are they doing in Jingshi, and what do they see?" ”

"Good!"

……

As Zu Dashou expected, shortly after the three law divisions of the Apocalypse ordered Li Ruzhen to be tried, the result of the trial given by the three law divisions was that Li Ruzhen would be treated as a commoner.

After Tianqi saw the inscription of the Three Law Divisions, he suddenly raised his eyebrows: "The crime of rebellion is only sentenced to the common people, what do the officials of the Three Law Divisions think, is this to make everyone in the world dare to rebel casually?!" Immediately announce that the three law officials, the cabinet ministers, Jiuqing, and the commanders of the East and West Factories will come to see me! ”

Therefore, it didn't take long for Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Pan Shiliang, the secretary of Dali Temple, to come to the palace.

As soon as these people arrived in front of the emperor, Tianqi first said directly to Huo Weihua, Liu Zongzhou, and Pan Shiliang, the officials of the Three Law Divisions: "I asked you to interrogate Li Ruzhen, but as a result, I only sentenced one way to deal with the common people. What the hell do you guys think?! ”

Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said first: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't know that Li Ruzhen committed a major crime of rebellion, but for the sake of His Majesty's society, and cannot admit that he committed a major crime of rebellion." ”

Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, also said: "Your Majesty! The Li family has deep roots in Liaodong, and has always been good at supporting his subordinates, many border generals are from the Li family in Liaodong, and there are many powerful Wenchen who are close to him. ”

Pan Shiliang, the secretary of Dali Temple, also followed: "That's right, Your Majesty, not to mention that the world is watching the gates, if you really want to die Li Ruzhen here, maybe it will chill the hearts of the generals in the world!" ”

"It is not easy for Li Ruzhen's nine clans to be excavated and executed, but Li Ruzhen himself can't be killed, so where is the majesty of the emperor's national law?!"

Apocalypse asked coldly.

Liu Zongzhou therefore said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to kill Li Ruzhen, you can't execute him for treason, and make the world uneasy!" ”

"No! Rebellion is rebellion! You don't want to scare me with the instability of the border towns, as if all the border towns in the world want to be for him Liaodong Li Clan, not even your own nine clans! ”

The Apocalypse even gave the Hakka clan to death ruthlessly, so he naturally didn't want to expose this matter so easily, or greatly discount the disposal of this matter.

Seeing that the apocalypse insisted on executing Li Ruzhen, the court officials of the three law divisions were not easy to persuade again, so they all changed the title book, and sentenced Li Ruzhen to Ling Chi and exterminated the nine clans.

But just when Tianqi received the inscription of the Three Law Divisions again, Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, sent an urgent delivery, saying, "Your Majesty! Zu Dashou and other Liao generals jointly came to this book to intercede for Li Ruzhen, saying that Li Ruzhen should not be sentenced to death, and said that if Li Ruzhen was executed, there would be a mutiny among the Liao soldiers, which would make the border town unstable! And I have to ask Your Majesty for mercy. ”
