Chapter 27: Kill and make an example
Oh!
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, tilting his ears slightly, wanting to hear more useful information.
Today's court meeting is destined to arouse strong opposition from the ministers, and he discussed with Feng Qujian that if he wants to succeed in the imperial examination, he must deter the ministers of one side and make an example of them, otherwise it will be difficult to implement.
After all, this policy seriously affects the interests of the powerful, and they will not sit idly by.
Just like the implementation of the county system at the beginning, many powerful people opposed it, Chun Yuyue was a special case, the emperor used tough means, idle many officials, and even Prime Minister Wang Juan was persuaded to retire before it was calmed down.
"I remember that some time ago, Li Si accepted Yan Zongzheng's money, saying that it was a gift to help recommend his son."
Oh? Accepting Yan Jun's money is taking bribes! Well bribed!
Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's heart, and his heart was slightly cold.
"Of course I know that Li Xiang is an official ......" and then finished the next words, and glanced at Li Si quite differently, and his tone was extremely cold, "Extremely corrupt. ”
Speech reversal.
Yes!
Li Si was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't react, and his body trembled. Your Majesty is talking about this, he has never questioned himself before, how can he say such a thing at this moment.
It's so corrupt, it's not a good evaluation!
Hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged!" The minister has always been conscientious for the country, and there has never been anything corrupt, or if you ask other people, they know the minister best. ”
Lees moves out of the courtiers.
The courtiers immediately came out of the ranks, and their movements were unusually consistent, and most of the officials were among them, and Yan Jun was among them.
"Your Majesty, Li Xiang is wronged."
What a unison.
"Really?" Ying Zheng glanced at Yan Jun coldly.
"Yan Jun, is Li Xiang indeed wronged?"
Yan Jun's body trembled, and he hurriedly took a step forward, trying his best to remain calm and said, "Yes." ”
"Oh! Then how do you explain the money you sent to the Li Mansion? ”
Yes! How did Your Majesty know?
Yan Jun's body trembled, his eyes showed faint horror, but he tried his best to hide it, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged!" The minister never sent money to the Li Mansion, someone must have framed the minister. ”
"But someone saw you bribing Li Xiangna!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp.
"Impossible, the minister has never set foot in the Li Mansion, how can anyone see it, please Your Majesty."
"Really?" Ying Zheng sneered and waved at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao was startled, and his body couldn't help but take a step back, thinking: What is Qin Shi Huang going to do, won't he let me testify!
Mama, I'm just a small young man, how can I know about these powerful officials? And isn't it clear that pushing me out like this is to turn me against them? was really targeted by them, and then he didn't even know how to die.
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face turned pale, and he said secretly: Stinky boy, it turns out that you are so afraid of death, but what if you are afraid of death, you still have to come out to testify.
"Li Zhao, as a native of the Li Mansion, you have seen Yan Zongzheng in the Li Mansion?"
Really!
Li Zhao had a bitter face, had to walk out, came to the hall, glanced at Yan Jun, and replied honestly: "I've seen it!" ”
"You...... Fling dirt at somebody! Yan Jun was anxious, pointed at Li Zhao and roared, "I don't know him at all, how can he see me." ”
This is a bit ambiguous, recently, who doesn't know Li Zhao?
Li Si didn't expect His Majesty to ask Li Zhao to come out to testify, he was afraid that Li Zhao would really say something, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhao is just a child, he doesn't understand anything, don't listen to his nonsense." ”
Li Zhao became angry when he saw Li Si, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he didn't understand anything, didn't he lose face in front of the ministers?
He, Li Zhaoke, loves face.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I just saw him in the Li Mansion, and I saw that he ordered someone to carry the gift rack over, it looks very heavy."
Oh!
Ying Zheng smiled, and the other ministers saw that the situation was not good, and immediately stayed away from Yan Jun.
"You ......" Li Si was going crazy when he heard this, and regardless of the fact that this was the court, he pulled Li Zhao over and reprimanded, "Zhao, don't talk nonsense, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
"Uncle!" Li Zhao pretended to be aggrieved, "I didn't talk nonsense, I really saw it, and I saw him give the gift rack to his aunt." ”
"Nonsense, nothing." Li Si stiffened his face, but he croaked with hatred in his heart.
When Li Si said this, Li Zhao seemed to be angry, and said loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it, and my aunt will put the gift rack in the small room on the rockery." ”
Yes, there is a rockery in the Li Mansion.
Li Si's face turned blue with anger, and he thought hatefully in his heart, this fang was deliberate, it must be deliberate.
"Oh!" Ying Zheng smiled, sneered, raised his face, and asked Li Si, "Li Xiang, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Si hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Wronged, Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what this kid is talking about, and he blames the minister, who usually neglects to discipline him, resulting in a bad brain, nonsense, and affecting the style of the court." ”
"The minister is guilty, please Your Majesty punish the crime of not teaching."
Old fox, this is a prevarication.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si secretly and said, "Really? I've heard that this kid is not good at lying, don't you think? ”
Li Si's face turned pale, and His Majesty was directly aimed at him. Why? He is His Majesty's favorite retainer!
The other ministers didn't want Li Si to be implicated, so they pleaded in unison: "Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is reasonable, this son has a bad temperament, he must hate Li Xiang's words, and the ministers think it is impossible." ”
"Huh!" Ying Zheng laughed again, laughing so gloomy. Li Si, Li Si, how many hearts have you reached!
The next moment, it became fierce, "Where are the guards?" Immediately give me to Li's Mansion and search for rockeries. ”
"If it's true, arrest the Li family."
Yes! Li Si was directly paralyzed, and his eyes looking at Li Zhao were extremely resentful.
Yan Jun was also paralyzed in fright, if he really asked His Majesty to find out something, he would not be able to get rid of the crime.
Li Zhao smiled like a nobody, full of a child, but who knew that what he said just now was deliberate, of course, it was also a fact, he saw it with his own eyes.
"No!" The guards stationed in the temple obeyed the order and quickly left.
Half an hour later, the guards returned, and brought back the gift rack and the Li family.
The Li family was already frightened by the formation of the guards, and when they arrived at the court, they couldn't drag their plump bodies anymore.
"Master, no, our rockery quilt has been ........"
"Shut up, what we are, I don't know anything." Li Si forced his composure and reprimanded Lee.
"Sir, it's not ......."
Li Shi was glared back fiercely by Li Si.
Ying Zheng showed a terrible smile and said to Li Si: "Li Xiang, what else do you have to say, is this called not getting stolen goods?" ”
Poof!
Li Si knelt down heavily, but showed a pained expression, and said, "Your Majesty, strange minister! The blame minister is not well supervised, so that this greedy woman takes bribes without permission, destroys the court, and the minister promises, and the minister absolutely does not know. ”
"It's all the greedy woman's own doing."
