Chapter 222: Symptom 6
This time, Liu Zheng learned to be smart, and he deliberately released the rumor that he wanted Xiao Wangzhi to be the prime minister, the purpose was to test the reaction of the government and the opposition.
As soon as the news came out, Shi Xian, Honggong, Xu, and Shi were panicked.
And the ministers who supported Xiao Wangzhi were overjoyed.
But the rumor is the rumor after all, as long as the emperor's will does not come down, there are still variables.
In order for Xiao Wangzhi to ascend to the stage as soon as possible, Liu Gengsheng came up with a plan.
He categorically never thought that this strategy would help him, and what was more serious was that Xiao Wangzhi even lost his life.
Liu Gengsheng's idea is actually very correct, the biggest stumbling block to Xiao Wang's position is Shi Xian and Honggong, if these two people can be killed, then everything will be logical.
He naturally thought of the "knife" ------- pen in his hand that killed people.
He wrote a recital about Shi Xian and Honggong being the culprits of the earthquake and star change, in which he mentioned that he would depose Shi Hong and appoint Xiao Wangzhi, and he would inevitably be killed Chengxiang. Liu Gengsheng believes that if such a big hat is buttoned, the two of them will shed their skin if they don't die. He was also very smart, and in order to avoid suspicion of being a member of the same party, he asked someone else to transcribe it, and he played it on his behalf.
Before the chapter could be handed over, it fell into the hands of Shi Xian and Honggong.
It stands to reason that Shi Xian and Hong Gong would have withheld this piece of impeachment against them, but they had a more brilliant idea.
They presented the concert to Liu Zheng with great fanfare, in order to convince Liu Zheng of their fairness, and then bite back, hoping to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
After Liu Zheng read the chapter, he also muttered, the chapter was written brilliantly, but to be honest, he didn't think that Shi Xian and Honggong had such great ability to cause earthquakes and star changes. Moreover, he had just released the wind god who was Ren Xiao Wangzhi's appearance, and at this juncture, someone came to wave his flag and shout, isn't it very suspicious?
So when Shi Hong and the others cried out, he softened his heart and agreed to them to investigate the matter thoroughly.
So what are you waiting for?
Shi Hong and the others had Liu Zheng's nod, and they arrested the person who wrote the book and tortured him day and night.
Things took a turn for the worse, and Liu Gengsheng was also anxious to become an ant in a hot pot, but in this case, he still couldn't come up with a way, and hoped that the scrivener could get through.
The scrivener still didn't get through it, and put the words away, and Liu Gengsheng was the instigator behind the scenes.
As a result, Liu Gengsheng was imprisoned again and was spared from being a concubine.
Shi Hong and the others targeted their interrogation on Liu Gengsheng, and they even spoke, even if it was a trick, to pry his mouth open.
No one doesn't know who the ultimate spearhead of Shi Hong and the others is!
Xiao Wangzhi hasn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights, and judging from the news, Shi Hong and the others won't let him go, but what can he do? Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are people who tend to be inflammatory, and they can't be counted on at all.
"That's all there is to it!" Xiao Wangzhi finally made a difficult decision.
He called his son Xiao Ling and asked him to write a recital to clear up his relationship with Liu Gengsheng and tell his grievances at the same time. Xiao Wangzhi's approach is really not kind enough, so he has to say a few words for Liu Gengsheng.
Liu Zheng received Xiao Ling's recital, read it for a long time, and couldn't make a decision for a while, so he handed over the book to the court.
Now most of the people who can speak in the court are Shi Gao, and the others are just looking for self-preservation.
Therefore, the result of the court meeting made Liu Zheng even more embarrassed.
Most of the ministers thought that Xiao Wangzhi did not know how to introspect himself, but instead wrote a letter to cry out for injustice, which was a violation of the minister's body and should be arrested and punished.
Liu Zheng was very embarrassed, this result was not what he wanted, he thought that someone would redress his grievances, but he didn't expect it to be one-sided, and now even he himself has to re-examine his master, but no matter how he says that he is his own teacher, he can't bear to let him go to prison.
Liu Zheng said: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Xiao has a strong personality and refuses to go to prison." ”
At this time, Shi Xian and Honggong saw Liu Zheng's hesitation, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Human life is at stake, Xiao Wangzhi's sin is just a sin of thin words, and he shouldn't kill himself." ”
Although Shi Hong said it lightly, he actually contained more vicious thoughts. As long as they put him in prison, they have a way to make him never get out.
The two of them secretly gave Shi Gao a look, and Shi Gao understood and echoed at the same time.
Liu Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
Shi Xian was majestic, and with a bunch of armor soldiers, he surrounded the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Wangyi saw this situation, his heart was extremely angry, and he ordered all the family members to be fully armed to defend the mansion.
For a time, there was tension inside and outside the Xiao Mansion.
Shi Xian originally brought the cavalry to scare Xiao Wangzhi, according to his thoughts, if Xiao Wangzhi knew each other, he would definitely be caught, but he didn't expect Xiao Wangzhi to be really strong, and this move made him dumbfounded. Seeing this posture, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly went back to Weiyang Palace to ask for an order.
Xiao Wangzhi asked if there was any good way to deal with it, and when everyone shook their heads and sighed, one of Xiao Wangzhi's protégés walked up to Xiao Wangzhi and bowed deeply.
Xiao Wangzhi's eyes moved, revealing a look of expectation, he was now the most helpless time, and he needed someone to give him advice.
This protégé is a native of Lu, named Zhu Yun, who has a fierce personality and is indomitable.
Zhu Yun hoped that Xiao Wangzhi would retreat and enter the quiet room with him.
The two came to the quiet room, Zhu Yun bowed again, and said slowly, "Is there a way for the general to save himself?" ”
"If the old man has it, why should he ask you?" Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Can the general fight to the death?"
"As long as the old man is in one breath, he will fight to the end."
"The general can know that Shi Xian is here by order, and the general's struggle is to oppose the emperor!"
"How can the old man not know, but the old man is a minister, how can he be humiliated?"
"Eunuchs are naturally hateful, the general will definitely suffer this humiliation, the general will be humiliated today, and the general will be honored tomorrow."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Shi Xian and others have designed to frame them three times and twice, and Your Majesty has also been deceived by them, the general is in the light, he is in the dark, how can he be saved? Today, the general refuses to give in, and Shi Xian will definitely add fuel and vinegar when he goes back, so that not only will the general not be able to preserve, but the general's family..."
Before Zhu Yun's words were finished, Xiao Wangzhi was shocked, he realized that he had made a serious mistake, and now he was afraid that he would not be able to argue.
Xiao Wangzhi was so anxious that he paced back and forth, and he asked, "You say, how is it now?" ”
"The student does have a way, which can not only protect the teacher's family, but also clear the teacher's injustice, and may even save His Majesty from the blindness of Shi Xian and others, but..."
"Just what?" Xiao Wangzhi's eyes lit up.
"It's just... It's just that this method is very unfilial, and it is difficult for students and students to talk about it? ”
"Don't be taboo, talk to me!"
Zhu Yun suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Wangzhi, bowed, gritted his teeth and said, "The teacher should judge himself, there is no other way!" ”
Xiao Wangzhi looked at Zhu Yun with bright eyes, staggered back, and sat down in the chair.
For a moment, the ashram couldn't be quieter.
Zhu Yun kept staring at Xiao Wangzhi, for the two of them, every second here was extremely tormenting.
I don't know how much time has passed, Xiao Wangzhi sighed, "The old man tastes the general, he is over sixty years old, he is in prison, begging for a living, what a shame!" He then burst into laughter, "If you suffer this humiliation today, you will live on tomorrow." Good way, good way..."
He smiled at Zhu Yun and said, "Go and bring the wine." ”
When Xiao Wangzhi took the wine, Zhu Yun once again knelt down in front of Xiao Wangzhi, and he didn't get up until the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
In the second year of the first century (47 years ago), in July, Xiao Wangzhi, who was only eight years old, committed suicide.
When his student Liu Zheng heard the news of his death, he also burst into tears and said, "I knew that the teacher would not go to prison, but I hate you minions and kill my virtuous master!" Despite this, for Shi Xian and others, Liu Zheng never made any moves.
In any case, Xiao Wangzhi's death seems to be a sign of something, and I think it is a clear sign of a country's decline.
