Chapter 118: Feasting and Singing (5)
Guo Xiang was suddenly furious, slapped the table a few times, and shouted: "You dare to do this! Left and right, set him up, beat him up first! ”
The people on both sides were about to make a move, but they heard a voice in the distance: "Wait! "I was so scared that I shuddered.
The Hunan people were startled, looked at the voice, and saw that it was Chen Pao walking slowly, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Lord Chen." ”
"Remove all these torture instruments," Chen Tongpao did not greet him, and waved his sleeves, "Since we are called Qingliu, how can we use this improper method?" Trials can only be based on substantiated evidence. ”
"This ...... Well," although the Hunan people were reluctant in their hearts, they believed that he would not act rashly, so they ordered, "You put everything back!" ”
Ye Yongjia glanced at it with his spare eyes and sneered: "I am used to acting in hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and I am afraid that I have deceived myself." ”
"Why did Ye Bingbu say this?" Comrade Chen smiled and walked forward, "Looking at the world, everyone regards my generation as a clear stream, except for your henchmen, no one calls it hypocrisy." ”
"It's inevitable. Only the scholars and officials have the right to speak, and who can hear the opinions of the people of Lishu? In your mouth, the word 'under heaven' is so vain. Ye Yongjia sighed.
Fellow Chen squatted down and said, "Lord Ye, I'm not here to talk to you about state affairs. I just want to sigh that you and I were so like-minded and close friends at the beginning, but now we are parting ways because of political opinions and looking at each other as enemies...... How sad it all is. ”
Ye Yongjia looked at him steadily, as if he had seen all kinds of the past from his eyes; But he quickly restrained his emotions, and when he looked again, he was still the same pair of deep, numb eyes.
"After so many years, I don't care about some things, so I'll tell you: Your wife Zhuo Lengping, I wanted to marry her, but she refused, so I let her go and ran to you. In fact, since then, my opinion of you has changed. ”
"Oh, yes," Comrade Chen was unmoved, as if he had heard an anecdote, "Leng Ping never mentioned it. The adult is really magnanimous, Chen admires. ”
"As a living person, don't you have even the slightest emotion?" Ye Yongjia glared angrily and asked with a roar, "What other sorrows, what kind of best friends...... It's not all bluffing! If this is the so-called way of the sages, the world will still be the world of the powerful, and the 'sages' are just the jackals who defend this system the most! ”
"How dare you slander a saint!" The Hunan people rushed up from behind, pointing at him, their faces flushed.
"I'm a dying person anyway," Ye Yongjia flicked his sleeves and turned his back, "Tell the truth...... It's a pleasure. ”
The Hunan people still wanted to argue, but they were stopped by Chen Tongpao, who dragged him to the side of the stairs and asked in a low voice, "What are you fighting with him?" ”
"Lord Chen, this person has become extremely rebellious, why don't you kill him as soon as possible? It's incomprehensible that you're protecting him at every turn. The Hunan people questioned angrily.
Comrade Chen sighed: "How can I have a reason to protect him? It's just that I'm afraid that the Ye Party will turn the corner. Now that the evidence is incomplete, it will take time to collect, and if something happens, how will we deal with ourselves? How to be careful with him, although he doesn't remember kindness, he also has to show it to the emperor. ”
"That'...... What's next? "The Hunan people have no objections.
"Go and look up what we're sure of. brought Chang Zhenren and Cun Zhao to trial, and first overturned Lan Yuan's case. As for the Ye Dang, don't arrest any of them, just monitor them and entertain them with good food and drink. ”
The Hunan people nodded silently and gave him a long bow.
Within three days, the Hunan people relied on his superb interrogation methods to collect all the confessions they needed. He wrote to the emperor, saying, 'In order to plot against the crown prince, Ye Yongjia first falsely accused him of banning Cunzhao, and after putting him in prison, he used the temptation to release from prison to force him to frame Lan Yuan, so he was wantonly deposed and ran rampant. Later, Chang Zhenren entered the palace to ask about the disease, and Ye Yongjia was afraid of his advice, so he was arrested with a demon, which was bound to become a rebel, which was particularly absurd. After investigation, there is no doubt that this case is an unjust case, and His Majesty is requested to issue an edict to Zhaoxue to comfort people's hearts. ’
The emperor looked at a lot of evidence, and there was no doubt about it, so he made up his mind and summoned Ge Ming, a scholar of Hanlin, to draft an edict for the palace and asked him what his opinion was. Ge Mingwei kowtowed and replied: "It is needless to say that the leaf thief should be condemned to death; Although Cun Zhao was falsely accused at first, in order to save his life, he repeatedly helped thieves, causing countless officials to be wronged, and the sin was no less than that of the Ye Party. Please kill them all together, and quit for the rebels and thieves! ”
Although Ge Mingwei's comments were instructed by Chen Tongpao, they were also out of his own heart, and his enthusiasm was overflowing, which couldn't help but touch the emperor's heart. He immediately clapped the case and said, "I will be convicted accordingly." ”
"The minister is on order!" Ge Mingwei was about to retreat from the draft edict, but suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned back, and bowed his hand: "Minister...... There is still one thing that is not clear: why don't the leaf thieves' henchmen be dealt with together? ”
On the issue of dealing with the Ye Party, the emperor no longer had any scruples at this time, and replied truthfully: "The severity of their crimes has yet to be investigated, so there is no need to be anxious." ”
Ge Ming said with a straight color: "Since they are attached to the leaf thief, they are national thieves, how can there be a difference between severity and severity!" A group of profit-seeking villains, killing can still clear the atmosphere. Moreover, Ye Yongjia used the name of the Blue Party to hunt and kill many dissidents, and the documents were all shelved in the military and criminal departments, if Cai Xianqing and others took the opportunity to burn them, His Majesty would regret it. ”
"Then you should write one more sentence: immediately send someone and copy the military department." The emperor's words were unequivocal.
When the people of Guoxiang received the order, they were extremely excited, and they did not intend to discuss it with their comrades at all, and they thought unexpectedly: 'Now that I will accomplish this great work alone, it would be a pity if I did not deliberately choose a person to witness?' …… Pregnant! Shi Xiushen and Ye Yongjia are so friendly, at this time, they should be grief-stricken, if they ask him to go to the military department in person, it will be extremely interesting. If he regenerates compassion and does not move forward, he can join him, wonderful! Wonderful! So he invited Shi Xiushen's soldiers and horses to the emperor and went with them.
The gates of the Penal Prison were unusually open. Cun Zhao woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that Lan Yuan had put on his previous court clothes and stood proudly in front of him, as if exuding a majestic golden light.
Cun Zhao seemed to see a man of God, and before he could speak, he bowed to him three times and bowed nine times, and wept with gratitude: "Lan Shiyu, you really saved my life!" Where do I put my court clothes? I, when I go back, I must let those thieves pay for their blood debts, and I must let them ...... at my feet."
Before he finished speaking, Lan Yuan leaned down and grinned, "What did you say?" I would like to thank you for your life. ”
