Chapter 414: Pit Son-in-law
Who will investigate thoroughly? This is undoubtedly related to the fate of Hou Junji, Li Yong feels that Li Er asked who to investigate thoroughly, undoubtedly reveals Li Er's attitude towards Hou Junji, if Li Er chooses to let Cheng bite Jin and them to investigate thoroughly, there is no doubt that he does not want to dispose of Hou Junji, if Li Er chooses to let Wei Zheng and other civil officials investigate thoroughly, then there is no doubt that Li Er does not intend to let Hou Junji go, Li Yong looked up with some curiosity to see Li Er's face, but when he looked up, he found that Li Er also looked at him, above the court, Li Er and Li Yong's eyes were so intertwined, Li Yong chuckled in his heart, why did Li Er look at him? No way? Could it be that Li Er wants him to investigate thoroughly? Who wants to get involved in this kind of thing? Li Yong lowered his head quickly, shrunk his neck by the way, and moved his position, trying to let Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others block him from the five big and three rough people in front of him, but Li Er's voice came as scheduled.
"Li Yong, it's up to you to investigate thoroughly!"
Li Er said in a deep voice, after Li Yong heard it, there were 10,000 mud horses galloping and running in his heart, and at this moment he had only one thought in his heart, Li Er, I your second uncle, I know you are pitting, I don't know what you mean by picking a son-in-law to come to the pit? Cheng Yanjin and others looked at Li Yong one after another, with relief and schadenfreude in their eyes, it is better to let Li Yong investigate thoroughly than to let Wei Zheng's old man investigate thoroughly, let Wei Zheng this person is too rigid, once it is thoroughly investigated, it will definitely be clear and understand, when the time comes, not only Hou Junji will not be guaranteed, maybe he will also say that he will pull out the radish and bring out the mud, even Hou Junji can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he hears it, at first he thought that Li Yong reported him, but now it seems that it is not Li Yong, since the emperor named Li Yong to investigate thoroughly It is a good thing for him, At least Li Yong belongs to the side of the military generals, although Li Yong has not experienced the founding of the country, and he has no friendship with his comrades, but because of the contact between Cheng Yanjin and others, although his relationship with Li Yong is not good, but he triumphantly prepared a generous gift for Li Yong, of course, he also regrets it very much now, the generous gift prepared for Li Yong is too light, he knew this, he should have prepared a few carriages of treasures for Li Yong, Wei Zheng and other ministers heard that the emperor wanted Li Yong to investigate thoroughly and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, they didn't have a grudge against Hou Junji and wanted to kill Hou Junji, They just want to find a truth, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, punishment will be punished, but Li Yong and Hou Junji have a good relationship, and Li Yong has a better relationship with Cheng Yanjin and other generals in the army, there will definitely be many generals in the army who intercede for Hou Junji, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Sage, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have also gone on the expedition, so is it inappropriate to let Huating Hou investigate thoroughly? The minister thinks that Huating Hou should be allowed to avoid suspicion! ”
"Sage, the minister also thinks that the Marquis of Huating should avoid suspicion!"
"Sage, Huating Hou should avoid suspicion!"
Li Yong almost nodded wildly when he heard this, yes, yes, let me avoid suspicion! Hou Junji scolded in his heart, Wei Zheng is an old immortal, the emperor can let whoever he wants to check, why do you have so many things? Li Er said in a deep voice.
"I believe that Li Yong can investigate impartially and thoroughly, and then let Ma Zhou assist, so be it! Something has been decided! ”
Let Ma Zhou assist in a thorough investigation? Hou Junji couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, although Ma Zhou's official position was not obvious, he was a famous direct minister in the court, if it wasn't for his shallow qualifications, he could compare with Wei Zheng, the emperor had obviously asked Li Yong to investigate thoroughly, so why did he let Ma Zhou assist in a thorough investigation? Ma Zhou doesn't care about any assistance or not, he will definitely find out, not only Hou Junji's heart is awe-inspiring, even Cheng Biting Jin They are all awe-inspiring, let Ma Zhou this guy participate, then it will be a big trouble, Wei Zheng and other ministers listened to it and suddenly felt relieved, they all agreed with Ma Zhou very much, Ma Zhou is definitely an upright minister, will never cheat, let alone succumb, although Ma Zhou is only assisting, but as long as Ma Zhou participates, he will never sit back and watch Li Yong cheat, Wei Zheng said respectfully.
"Sage Shengming, with the Marquis of Huating and the servant Shi Ma to conduct a thorough investigation on Monday, they will definitely be able to thoroughly investigate the truth."
"For the time being, gather Hou Jun in Dali Temple, and wait for the results of a thorough investigation, so let's retreat!"
Hou Junji was directly escorted to Dali Temple by the guards, and the early dynasty dispersed, whether it was Wenchen or the generals, they all lost their previous joy, Li Yong walked out of the hall, and his mood was even more unbeautiful, Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong, Xu Shiji and others in front of him all stopped, as if they were waiting for Li Yong, Xu Shiji patted Li Yong's shoulder and sighed.
"Lao Hou is actually not easy, this guy is not afraid of death when he fights, he follows the sage before and after the saddle, although he has not made any outstanding contributions, but he followed the sage to rush into battle, and he was always injured by the saint's side, Lao Hou has no other shortcomings, that is, he is greedy for money, and he was also poor and afraid when he was a child, the sage has always attached great importance to Lao Hou, and even asked Wei Gong to teach Lao Hou the art of war, but he didn't expect Lao Hou to make such a mistake and live up to the saint's hard work! I don't know how sad the saint is! ”
Cheng Yanjin also asked gloatingly.
"Li Yong, how are you going to check?"
Li Yong looked at this group of unconscionable old goods, rolled his eyes helplessly, and lost his temper directly.
"Check what, go back to sleep!"
Xu Shiji and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this, and went back to sleep? Are you serious? In fact, they also understand Li Yong's embarrassment, in fact, if the emperor asks them to check, they will also feel very embarrassed, you say that if you check it carefully, then I'm sorry Hou Junji, Hou Junji will definitely be heavily punished, but, if you don't seriously investigate and cheat, I'm afraid that even the emperor will know about it, and then won't it be a bully? Cheng Yanjin patted Li Yong on the shoulder and said sympathetically.
"It's a little difficult for you, but since the sage chose to let you investigate, he shouldn't want to expand the situation, so let's intercede for Hou Junji together."
In fact, since Li Er named him to investigate thoroughly, Li Yong has been wondering in his heart, there are so many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, why did Li Er let him investigate? And why did you ask Ma Zhou to help? This has a lot of meaning! What kind of psychology is Li Er? In short, Li Er couldn't be happy when this happened, right? Unless, Li Er is crazy, if Li Er wants to severely punish Hou Junji, then there is no need to name him to investigate, if Li Er wants to lift the board high and then gently put it down, then let Ma Zhou, an upright minister, assist in the investigation, so, Li Er just wants to beat Hou Junji hard and give Hou Junji a profound lesson, the problem is that these three major crimes are too easy to investigate, as long as you check a little, you can find out clearly, if these three major crimes are all found out, whether Hou Junji can survive is a question, The combat effectiveness of Wei Zheng and other upright ministers in the court should not be underestimated, but the emperor definitely did not want Hou Junji to die, Hou Junji was a meritorious minister after all. So these three major crimes can never be established, and the easiest to wash away is undoubtedly the second crime, Li Yong carefully recalled what Li Er said in the main hall, Li Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he thought of something, the look on his face became a lot more relaxed, he had a plan in his heart, Li Yong immediately felt at ease, anyway, he had a way, and when the time came, he would hand over the decision to Li Er, Li Er could deal with it as he wanted, Ma Wednesday was more than ten years old with a righteous face and a resolute face, because he was upright and enjoyed a great name in the court, and was known as the successor of Wei Zheng, just ordered by the sage to assist in the thorough investigation of the Hou Junji case, he is naturally full of ambition, and he has already made up his mind in his heart, he must find out the truth, find out clearly, when the dynasty was dispersed, Li Yong was surrounded by Cheng Biting Jin and several people to talk, Ma Zhou was also surrounded by Wei Zheng and others and instructed a lot, but Ma Zhou's eyes have always been on Li Yong's body, although the same palace is a minister, but Ma Zhou and Li Yong are not familiar with each other, but he admires Li Yong very much, because he is different from most officials in the court, he is from a poor background, It is precisely because he was born in poverty that he can best understand how important Li Yong is to ordinary people, in his opinion, Li Yong's merits can even be compared with Shennong's taste of herbs, which is a merit for the benefit of the ages, admiration and admiration, but business is business, Ma Zhou knew that Li Yong was likely to exonerate Hou Junji, but he Ma Zhou would never allow this kind of thing to happen, walking out of the palace gate, Ma Zhou quickly chased after him, and said respectfully.
"Meet Master Hou!"
Li Yong turned his head and smiled.
"Ma Yushi? Next, the two of us are going to partner up, but we can't let the saint down! ”
Ma Zhou Zhengse.
"The lower officials will do their best to find out the truth, find out clearly, report to the saints, and report to the people!"
Li Yong nodded.
"It's really embarrassing to think that the soldiers are triumphant but want to investigate them! I'm really afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers! By the way, Ma Yushi has always been a Wenchen, I don't know if he has ever gone out with the army? ”
Ma Zhou shook his head and said.
"Nope."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"That Ma Yushi may not know some rules in the army."
Ma Zhou arched his hand.
"Although the lower officer has not gone out with the army, he also understands some of the rules in the army, in order to reward the soldiers and stimulate the morale of the army, he will distribute some captured property to the soldiers, but Hou Ye will not think that Chen Guogong will take most of the treasures for himself It is also the rule in the army, right?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's good that you know this rule, the sage said that he wanted to check Hou Junji, don't go astray!"
What he is most afraid of is that Ma Zhou is too upright, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, so the fun will be great, although Zhou is upright but not stupid, he naturally understands what Li Yong means, and arched his hand.
"Grandpa, rest assured, the lower official has a scale in his heart."
Li Yong nodded reassuringly and smiled.
"Very good, then I'll be relieved!"
Ma Zhou asked.
"Grandpa, where do we start investigating? By the way, Hou Ye's Shenji Battalion also went out with the army, they should know some inside information, right? ”
Li Yong shook his head and said.
"I asked them, and they were stationed at a distance from the palace and made their rounds every day, so they didn't know anything about it."
Ma Zhou felt that the camp of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion should be really far away from the palace, and Li Yong would not lie about this, but who knew whether the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion knew about it?
"Then where do you think we should start?"
Ma Zhou asked, Li Yong patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"No hurry, no hurry, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Ma Zhou couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, not in a hurry? Tomorrow? This is a task assigned by the emperor, and the government and the opposition are concerned, how can they not be in a hurry? Ma Zhou hurriedly said.
"Master Hou, the saint and the government and the opposition are all waiting, why do you want to talk about it tomorrow?"
Li Yong shook his head and said.
"I have something to do today."
Something? This is what the emperor has confessed, what could be more important than what the emperor has confessed? Ma Zhou wondered.
"What else is going on with Master Hou?"
What else? Is it okay if you didn't sleep well last night? Li Yong smiled slightly.
"Firearms Warden's business, confidential!"
The matter of the firearms superintendent is indeed confidential, but what is there that the firearms superintendent cannot delay for a moment? This is clearly trying to delay time, Ma Zhou arched his hand.
"Since the Hou Ye still has confidential matters, then the lower officials will investigate by themselves first, after all, it is a matter explained by the sage, and the lower officials will not dare to slack off!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, then you can check it first!"
Ma Zhou was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect Li Yong to be so happy, he thought that Li Yong would want to stop him from investigating, so now he is a little confused, it is better for him to check it himself, because no one is hindered, he believes that he will be able to find out the truth, the early dynasty dispersed, the news spread throughout the entire court like a gust of wind, and the people who heard it were immediately stunned, Wei Zheng actually impeached Hou Junji for the three major crimes in the early dynasty, and Hou Junji has been locked up in Dali Temple to be participated, and the officials who heard the news were stunned, After all, the army has just triumphed, Hou Junji as the head of the march is the greatest hero, it is the most glorious time, I didn't expect that even the reward has not come down, Hou Junji was impeached for the three major crimes and imprisoned in Dali Temple, if it weren't for the impeachment of Hou Junji's three major crimes is Wei Zheng, they even have to wonder if someone is framing revenge because of jealousy, but the person who impeached Hou Junji is Wei Zheng! How could Wei Zheng frame Hou Junji? Almost all the officials believed Hou Junji when they heard that it was Wei Zheng who impeached him, especially the dozen or so carriages that entered Chen Guogong's mansion could not hide people, and Chen Guogong's mansion was not an iron bucket, so when all the officials were talking about it, someone mentioned the dozen or so carriages, which further corroborated Wei Zheng's impeachment.
"Most of the treasures of a kingdom have been privately swallowed by Hou Junji, is this guy too bold?"
"Yes, there must be a lot of treasures on the only way for trade in the Gaochang Kingdom, and Hou Junji is really greedy!"
"Hou Junji didn't even let go of King Gaochang's harem, it's just a beast!"
"Although Hou Junji destroyed Gao Changguo and brought back the seeds of the white stacked flowers, but he is so reckless, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it, right?"
"Merit is merit, transgression is transgression, and it cannot be generalized! Besides, I think Huating Hou is the biggest hero! ”
"Let's look at the results of the investigation of Huating Hou and Ma Yushi!"
The news quickly spread among the various yamen in Chang'an, and it has not yet reached the people, but the entourage of the Hou family waiting outside the palace quickly got the news, and when they heard that the lord was impeached by Wei Zheng and locked up in Dali Temple, they were all frightened, and they immediately rushed to the Guogong Mansion in a hurry.
