Chapter 158: One Night Falls into Autumn
Boss Zhu has always been vigorous and resolute, and the next day there was a decree to appoint Han Yike of Linhuai Zhixian County as the Qincha Patrol according to the imperial history, on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol Hunting Capital, and rectify all lawlessness!
In this sternly worded holy decree, it is clear that the patrol according to the imperial history can review the prisoners, hang the case files, and the division must not shirk the responsibility, otherwise it will be punished for bullying the king, and the patrol can be beheaded by the sword of the Son of Heaven; All officials, nobles, and subordinate officials and slaves must cooperate with the summons of the imperial history, and no one may refuse to evade, otherwise they will be punished for bullying the king, and the patrol can be cut by the sword of the Son of Heaven!
All those who are tried and interrogated must not conceal, deceive, falsely accuse, or confess, otherwise they will be punished as deceiving the king, and they can be cut by the sword of the Son of Heaven!
This paper is full of will to kill and kill, so that the middle capital, which was originally celebrating the emperor's return to his hometown and looking forward to moving the capital, will enter autumn from the hot summer overnight.
Han Yike took office in this area of purge, and his patrol office was set up outside the Hongwu Gate, in the yamen built for the Criminal Department.
As soon as he took office, Han Yike issued a notice, announcing that from now on, the notice will be received for one month in a row, and anyone who has grievances can file a complaint with the government. It doesn't matter if you don't have a paper, as long as people come, there are special scribes in the yamen to write the paper for the people.
But what is embarrassing is that no one dared to file a complaint for two days.
Although Han Yushi and his subordinate officials were already very busy just reviewing and recording prisoners, hanging and brushing case files, dealing with these old cases, and handling Shen Liuniang's case. But the delay in seeing the sufferer complain still made the subordinates feel a lot of pressure.
But Han Yike didn't panic at all, at least he didn't panic at all, he told his subordinates not to worry, the good show was ahead.
The show was staged quickly, and that morning, the officials who patrolled the yamen found that in front of the Hongwu Gate not far away, there were officials who had set up a high swing frame. Around the swing frame, there are also a circle of charcoal pots, as many as two or three thousand.
There are also officers and soldiers who beat gongs and walk through the streets and alleys, loudly announcing that the emperor will invite the people to eat chickens and watch the play, and the banquet will start on time at noon tomorrow, and invite the villagers to come and enjoy the light.
As soon as the common people heard that the emperor invited them to a banquet, they were naturally very positive.
Not all the people are in the dark, and many already know where the swing frame came from and what it is for. But instead of pretending not to know, they scrambled even more, and in order to occupy a place, many people went to line up outside Hongwu Gate as soon as they heard the news.
They don't dare to sue, why don't they dare to eat chicken and watch the show?
The nobles even know that this is the emperor's 'roast chicken and monkey'. But they dared to stop the people from complaining, but they didn't dare to stop the people from going to the banquet, otherwise if no one showed up to invite them to dinner, Boss Zhu would definitely be mad......
~~
The male monkeys didn't dare to make a sound, but Li Cunyi was about to go crazy......
"Big brother, the emperor is going to roast Li You!" In the flower hall of the Korean Mansion, his hair was scattered, and his eyes were red and swollen and he yelled at Li Shanchang.
"I've heard that." Li Shanchang's condition is not much better. When he came back from the imperial tomb, he had insomnia all the time, his eyes were dark, and the bags under his eyes were as big as the chin of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Big brother, you have to do something!" Li Cunyi grabbed the placket of Li Shanchang's clothes and shook it vigorously.
"What can I do?" Li Shanchang swept away his usual toughness, and let Li Cunyi shake like noodles. "It's been three days since the guilty form was handed over, and the emperor hasn't been comforted yet. The emperor dislikes me......"
"Then you can't watch Li You being roasted by the emperor!" Li Cunyi was heartbroken, with a handful of snot and tears. "Even if he dies, he can't die in such a tragic way, it's terrible!"
"Who told him not to do anything himself?" Li Shanchang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Second brother, don't you know the temper of the superior yet?" No one can save the people he decided to kill...... Okay, the queen can, but the queen can't intercede for Li You, so she will die of this heart. ”
"How can you know if you don't try, big brother?" Li Cunyi knelt down and cried, hugging Li Shanchang's leg and begging bitterly. "Li You is my lifeline, without him, I won't live anymore, woo woo woo ......"
Seeing that Li Shanchang was still indifferent, he was ruthless and slammed headlong into the pillar on the side.
Li Shanchang didn't hold it, and with a bang, Li Cunyi hit it squarely, and his head was bleeding and he fainted in pain.
Lao Li was distressed and angry, and hurriedly called a doctor to treat him. After the doctor bandaged it, he gave another needle, Li Cunyi woke up slowly, and the first thing he said when he woke up was not to beg his eldest brother: "Save the child......"
"Well, okay. Anyway, my old face has already made you lose all of it......" Li Shanchang sighed helplessly, held the coffee table and slowly got up and said: "Let's follow your orders, and go and lose people again......"
"Thank you, big brother." Li Cunyi's head gauze was oozing blood, and he sobbed miserably: "You can definitely do it......
"." Li Shanchang took a sip and went out without looking back.
~~
Li Shanchang came to the outside of Xingfu Palace in a carriage and handed over a book to ask for an audience.
After a while, Gonggong Wu came out and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the Korean Gong, the emperor is slightly ill, and he wants to recuperate for a few days, please turn back." ”
"Oh, it doesn't matter to the emperor, right?" Li Shanchang looked concerned and scolded in his heart, your old Zhu is as strong as a buffalo, and you use illness as an excuse to not see me? It's better to say that you want to be confined!
"It doesn't matter, it's just that I'm tired from running around all day." Gonggong Wu shook his head and smiled: "If the Korean Gonggong has anything to say, our family can convey it on his behalf." ”
"The old minister has something to say to the superior, but now he only hopes that the superior will be healthy as soon as possible, and nothing else matters." The Korean duke shook his head and smiled, and the demeanor of the first duke of the Ming Dynasty was still maintained.
"Okay, we'll bring it." Gonggong Wu nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Please go back." ”
"Okay, I've worked hard for Lao Wu, let's drink tea another day." Li Shanchang also smiled and nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.
After getting into the car, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, leaning against the wall of the car, looking out the window at the middle capital city that he had built little by little.
In the past, as soon as I saw this, a strong sense of pride and steadfastness would arise spontaneously.
But today, these magnificent buildings and exquisite pavilions only make him feel illusory and frightened......
Since becoming Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, he has been many, many years, and there is no such powerlessness that he can't do anything.
Could it be that everything about himself really comes from the top? Without the trust of the superiors, you can't do anything?
"All appearances are vain. If you see things that are not the same, then you will see them as they are...... "After all, Li Shanchang has gone through the most sinister storms in the world, and he silently recites a passage of the "Diamond Sutra", preparing to look at the nose and nose and heart, so as to calm himself.
Li Shanchang was about to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly froze.
He saw a familiar figure in front of Hongwu Gate, under the high swing frame, his nephew Li You, who was piling firewood under the supervision of officers and soldiers......
