Chapter Seventy-Four: Entrustment
It's not easy to do, it's hard to save people.
However, if you can let Lai Junchen make a move and package Xue Shao as a loyal minister, there will still be a turnaround.
Shen Sanwen hurried to visit the upstart Lai Junchen.
This time, Junchen didn't have the previous low profile.
He has been crowned as the Emperor of the Imperial History, and half a foot has stepped into the threshold of the prime minister.
"Congratulations on coming to the rank of lord."
Lai Junchen was very happy to see the gift he brought.
"What do you have to do?"
"I heard that the adult tried the case of Xue Yi's rebellion, his younger brother Xue Shao is my old friend, but he is a scholar, loyal and righteous, and he admires the Queen Mother very much, and it is impossible to rebel.
Lai Junchen nodded, "Don't worry, Master Ma, this matter must be handled carefully." If Xue Shao is really innocent, this official will definitely not let him suffer unjustly. ”
I didn't expect it to be extremely easy.
Shen Sanwen thanked him again and again, and left from the mansion.
As soon as he left, Kangshun couldn't sit still.
"Xue Shao committed the crime of treason, how does his father-in-law plan to exonerate him?"
Lai Junchen sneered, "Why exonerate him." ”
"This, didn't you promise the horse."
"I just promised him to be careful, is he not guilty? As the younger brother of the thief, this is a sin, which is not easy to do, and it is not surprising that it was not done. ”
"Doesn't that offend the colt?"
"It's not a bad thing to be offended. I do things for the Queen Mother, if I exonerate Xue Shao because I received so many silver taels from him, will the Queen Mother still trust me? As a courtier, the more he befriends with the powerful in the court, the more the queen mother wants to be distilled. ”
"What if the colt retaliates?"
"That's not a big deal, he didn't dare to let the Queen Mother know about it. If Princess Taiping comes, he has to think about it for his father, but he is just a colt, and he can still turn out flowers. ”
Kangshun was also speechless.
Hurry up and pass the news to Shen Sanwen.
Shen Sanwen received the news and was furious.
This white-eyed wolf will take revenge, and he will use me as his stepping stone.
The princess just comforted him lightly, "The concubine has already made a predetermined judgment about this, Xue Shao's sin is unforgivable, why force it." ”
"But, I still want to save him." Shen Sanwen could hear what the princess meant, she didn't want to save Xue Shao, if the rebellion could get away with it, and let people be lucky about the rebellion, then it would be a big trouble, and this case could not be opened.
The princess was a little speechless, "Why do you have to save him?" ”
"He has a lot of kindness to me, if I can save him, I naturally can't give up."
The princess obviously didn't mean to make a plan, "Then you'll have to think about it." ”
Wow.
That's not for me.
I'm married to a principled princess!
Kang Shun served Lai Junchen, and Lai Junchen's subordinates were a little in awe of him, and he went to the prison where Xue Shao was imprisoned, and traveled all the way unhindered.
Kang Shun just came to send some food to Xue Shao, after all, such a noble son, when he came to the prison, there were some problems with eating and drinking.
"Xue Gongzi, there is some food here, I hope you don't dislike it." Kangshun handed over a small chicken leg and a little carnivorous turbidity.
"You're the righteous son of Junchen, why did you bring me food?" Xue Shao looked at the young man quite kindly.
"It's just that I've heard of Xue Gongzi's integrity and great name, and I'm just doing my part for Gongzi."
"I can't imagine that I, Xue Shao, have been reduced to a prisoner, and there are still people who can worry about it, haha." Xue Shao smiled bitterly.
"Why did Xue Gongzi say this, there are many people who are worried about you, you still have people in the prison who are worried about you, working hard for you, why are you so pessimistic."
"I wonder who is running for me?" Xue Shao was a little puzzled.
"I can't say that."
"Okay, you are young, and you can distinguish between good and evil, why do you want to help the abuse, when your father-in-law took the imperial examination, he was convicted and closed without any rules, and wantonly brutalized Zhongliang, do you know?"
"My father-in-law is just a poor man, he has also suffered a lot in the world, he has been oppressed by the powerful, and he doesn't want to go back to the past." Kang Shun and Lai Junchen have always relied on each other, and they have feelings for a long time.
"He has suffered so that he can do this to those who are good? Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, I didn't expect you to be so indistinguishable from wrong. Take the food, I don't want your things, and you won't have to come in the future. Xue Shao scolded angrily.
"Why are you so ignorant?" This man is a hard stone.
Xue Shao did not respond with a cold face.
"Some people are running around for you to be able to live, but you don't care about yourself so much, I'm afraid that before anyone can save you, you will starve to death. If you want to die, I will give you a sword, and you will kill yourself, so that you will not harm others or yourself. "Kangshun doesn't want to give him face.
"Hmph, your father-in-law was corrupt and corrupted, if I get out of prison like this, I might as well die in prison. I'd rather be righteous. ”
"You can rest assured that your father-in-law will never save you for what you have done. You're just waiting here to die. ”
Kang Shun left after speaking, he didn't understand this kind of person, what did the horse do to save him.
However, before being released from prison, I still did not forget to tell the cell boss, if there was no order from my father-in-law, take good care of Xue Gongzi inside.
Xue Shao's personality is also difficult to make some friends who tend to be inflammatory.
A group of old friends gathered in one place, all thinking about how to save him.
However, the main force is always so many people, and later Shen Sanwen simply discussed with Wang Bin and Cui Xuan.
Shen Sanwen said helplessly, "Lai Junchen clearly promised me, but he didn't plan to rescue Brother Xue. Judging from the princess's attitude, the Queen Mother should not be able to ask for grace anywhere. ”
Wang Bin: "What should I do?" ”
... You can't give some suggestions that have made a difference.
Cui Xuan: "In the past, Fang Yi loved to rebel, but Fang Yi was spared because of his meritorious informant. ”
Wang Bin: "However, it is not easy to falsify evidence now, and Xue Shao's temperament may not be appreciated. ”
Shen San asked: "I thought so too, but I was worried that Lai Junchen would obstruct it." ”
Wang Bin: "It's not appropriate to do this, not to mention whether the Queen Mother believes it or not, if she has this reputation, it will be worse than killing him." ”
Cui Xuan: "It's too difficult to get rid of the crime, it's better to admit it." The Queen Mother's matter is only for Liwei, if Xue Shao can contribute, maybe he can flow three thousand miles first, and then be exempted from punishment. ”
Shen San asked, "It's not easy. ”
In the end, everyone only discussed this attention.
Xue Shao pleaded guilty, did not investigate his brother's rebellion, failed to dissuade him, and died. The Queen Mother is benevolent, the world bows down, and now everything is innovative, and I hope that the Queen Mother can do the royal road, govern the country with benevolence, and govern the people with virtue.
Wu Zetian received this confession and had some thoughts.
Xue Shao can still be so sincere, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, even if he doesn't kill his head, he has to be exiled for 3,000 miles, and he should die if he rebels.
Shen San asked and admonished; "Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
"What's the joy of?"
"Xue Shao's confession is a good sign, indicating that more and more people in the world are surrendering to you. The minister had the courage to intercede for Xue Shao, if he had the intention to dissuade the rebel from being able to be forgiven, then the rebel would be less likely to be. Many evil deeds of rebellion can be strangled in the cradle. ”
Empress Wu felt ridiculous, "It's ridiculous, if you are lenient because of a confession, then everyone in the world will be against it, and then you will make this paper to surrender." ”
Shen San asked, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if you dissuade rebellion or be killed for three thousand miles, then who else will dissuade you." If one person rebels, the whole family can only follow each other. ”
Empress Wu thought to herself.
Shen Sanwen also admonished: "Lai Junchen can try no less than ten cases of rebellion in one day, how can he be convincing if he is so hasty." If death is avoided, many people will be willing to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and admit it calmly, and they can also block the mouth of the world. ”
"But this Xue Shao did not dissuade him."
"This handwritten letter has only been read by ministers and His Majesty. Xue Shao replied to this situation in his early years, he was a person who would rather be a broken jade, and he would definitely not rebel. ”
It's not good for his subordinates to have too many ideas, so the Empress Wu has to beat this colt well, "You are doing so hard for him, could it be that you also want to rebel." ”
Shen San just smiled lightly, if he wanted to rebel, would there be any loyal people in this world? "No, the minister is just fulfilling the Queen Mother's entrustment."
Empress Wu looked up to the sky and smiled, but forgot about it, in the early years, he once asked Shen San to ask to save Xue Shao, this person is really not a blessed person.
"As you say. Xue Shao's dissuasion was meritorious, and he flowed a thousand miles. The specific handling of the rebellion will be discussed again. ”
