The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 197 Wind and rumors

"You said that someone saw Lu Xiangong beating Shanyang Gong, but is there a witness? Is there any physical evidence? Chai Shao looked at Xiao Yu and asked with an unconvinced expression.

"If Lu Xiangong hadn't done such a thing, how could anyone spread it!" Xiao Yu replied to Chai Shao without showing weakness, "I heard about it, it should be like this!" ”

"The rumors are also the affairs of those imperial historians, what does it have to do with you, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Chai Shaona is not good at stubble, and directly grabbed the words "wind and news" in Xiao Yu's words to shoot back at Xiao Yu.

"General Chai, don't forget, this official is still the right servant of Shangshu, and this rumor is also within the jurisdiction of this official!" Xiao Yu looked at Chai Shao and said with a sneer.

As soon as Xiao Yu's words came out, Chai Shao suddenly had some stammers, if he wanted to say that he would lead the troops to fight, but all the generals who could stand in this fight could fight one by one, but when it came to verbal kung fu, none of these generals were the opponents of these literati, don't look at many of these generals and marshals are people who are both civil and military, but this mouth is really loud but this group of literati who quote scriptures.

At this moment, I saw a waiter hurriedly walking in outside the door, and one of the waiters came in and saluted Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, King Wu's father and son are already waiting outside the palace!" ”

"The party is here, whether there is anything Xiao Shangshu said will be known as soon as you ask!" Li Yuan didn't speak until this time, "Let them in!" Li Yuan said directly to the chamberlain.

"Yes!" The chamberlain turned around and walked out of the palace gate, and shouted directly: "King Wu and his son are here!" ”

As the chamberlain finished shouting, Wu Wang Du Fuwei and Shanyang Gong Du Dejun, father and son, entered the main hall one after the other.

"Minister, Du Fuwei has seen Your Majesty!"

"Minister, Du Dejun has seen Your Majesty!"

The father and son gave Li Yuan a salute in unison, "No courtesy, flat body!" Li Yuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Du Fuwei and his son thanked Li Yuan, "I don't know why His Majesty summoned his subordinates and his son to come?" Du Fuwei bowed to Li Yuan again and asked.

"King Wu and his son can wait for a while, and after the arrival of the Duke of Lu County, I have something to ask!" Li Yuan did not answer Du Fuwei's inquiry, but motioned for the father and son to wait.

However, after hearing Li Yuan's words, Du Fuwei understood what Li Yuan was going to ask, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu nodded at Du Fuwei with a smile, and the look in his eyes was clearly saying: "The official of your father and son has reported to Your Majesty!" ”

Du Fuwei naturally understood Xiao Yu's eyes, and scolded in his heart: "What does it matter to you about the matter between me and Lu Chen?" You old bastard just give Lao Tzu nothing to do! Lao Tzu didn't dare to show his head because of Li Zitong's matter, this old gang dish is not good! ”

Although Du Fuwei wanted to strangle Xiao Yu to death directly, he still had to show his gratitude to Xiao Yu on the surface, after all, Xiao Yu was also the head of the family, don't look at Du Fuwei as a king with a different surname, but if he really wants to fight against these families, he didn't have Lu Chen's two blows, so he smiled and nodded directly at Xiao Yu.

Du Fuwei's father and son naturally stood on the side of the generals, and when the father and son walked to the side of the generals, those generals consciously kept a certain distance from Du Fuwei.

Although Xiao Yu and the others really wanted to let Du Dejun say that Lu Chen had beaten him now, since Li Yuan had expressed his position, they could only suppress this idea in their hearts, to put it bluntly, they were eager to let Du Dejun say that Lu Chen had beaten him at this time, but they wanted to take advantage of Lu Chen's fact that he had not yet come, and directly create a preconceived impression.

At that time, even if Lu Chen defended this matter, Li Yuan did not delve too deeply into the matter, but Lu Chen would definitely leave a high-flying image in Li Yuan's heart, after all, this guy even dared to beat and arrest the prince's son, which was quite a remarkable thing in this era, to put it seriously, Lu Chen was guilty of the following crimes, according to the level of these sub-literati, Lu Chen could even be portrayed as a person who committed such a heinous crime as having a heart of disobedience.

It's just that now that Li Yuan has spoken and wants to wait for Lu Chen to come, these civil officials of the sub-family can only wait.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was not slow to come, and soon Lu Chen came to the outside of the Taiji Hall under the guidance of the inner attendant, and the inner attendant went in to pass through.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Chang'an County is already waiting outside the palace!" The chamberlain quickly came to Li Yuan with small steps, saluted and said.

"Xuan!" Li Yuan said directly, and the chamberlain turned around and walked out of the palace gate, shouting loudly: "Xuan Chang'an County Gong Lu Chen is here!" ”

The waiter's voice was quite shrill and shouting, and he was shouting not far from Lu Chen's side, so Lu Chen couldn't help but pluck his ears after hearing the shouting of the waiter, but this voice was too close to him, and every time he listened to it, he was uncomfortable.

"County magistrate, let's go in!" After shouting, the waiter looked at Lu Chen and said.

Lu Chen nodded, followed the waiter into the Taiji Palace, and as Lu Chen walked into the Taiji Palace, the Taiji Palace, which had still had some sounds, suddenly fell silent, and Lu Chen casually glanced at the group of civil and military ministers in the hall.

Chai Shao, the generals who had a good relationship with Lu Chen, gave Lu Chen a somewhat nervous look, and Lu Chen gave Lu Chen a look of "don't be impatient", as for when Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu's group of family ministers, these people all glanced at Lu Chen with hatred, and Lu Chen directly gave the other party a very contemptuous look, and at the same time made a "hurry up to pay off the debt" gesture to the people who owed him "gambling debts", and suddenly the faces of these people were almost green.

However, these people immediately looked at Lu Chen with a sneer, and when this hateful guy confronted Du Dejun in court, there was this guy who was good-looking.

"Minister, Lu Chen has seen Your Majesty!" Normally, others say "Meet Your Majesty", but Lu Chen directly bowed to Li Yuan and said, "I have seen Your Majesty".

"Lu County Gong doesn't have to be polite!" Li Yuan smiled and said to Lu Chen, if others said so, Li Yuan would have to give him a few boards, but Lu Chen said this, Li Yuan felt that this was a normal phenomenon, and the civil and military ministers in the hall seemed to be so surprised by Lu Chen.

"I don't know what happened to His Majesty's summons?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"This time I summoned Lu County Gong to come, it is for Xiao Servant to shoot a play, Lu County Gong beat Shanyang Gong a few days ago, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Li Yuan looked at Du Dejun on the side and asked.

"There is no such thing!" Lu Chen directly and simply denied this matter.

"Lu County Gong, the party is here! I also hope that the county prince of Lu County will not deny it outright! Xiao Yu directly reprimanded Lu Chen.

"Old man Xiao, since the party is here, why don't you let the party come to confront my father, what are you talking about as an outsider?" Lu Chen directly gave Xiao Yu a disdainful look, "Besides, the Duke of Shanyang didn't say that he ran to His Majesty to sue the emperor, how did you show that you are here?" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu and said with a sneer.

"When such a bad incident occurs, it is naturally the responsibility of this official to report it to His Majesty!" Xiao Yu once again refuted Lu Chen with words that refuted Chai Shao.

"Rumors?" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu and raised his eyebrows, "Did you use it like this?" Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Yu coldly, "Your Majesty! Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan, "As far as Wei Chen knows, this rumor and rumor requires conclusive evidence, either there are witnesses or material evidence to be regarded as having something to say!" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Yuan nodded and agreed with what Lu Chen said.

"And Lord Xiao, I actually regard the wind and words as listening to the wind and rain, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right?" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu and said, "It's nice to say that you listen to the wind or the rain, and if you don't listen to it, it's a dog to meddle with a mouse!" ”

"Lu Xiangong, how can you insult Xiao Servant so much, you deliberately went too far!"

"Lu Xiangong, his words are so vulgar, how can he set an example for the people!"

As soon as they heard Lu Chen's words, those family officials couldn't sit still and accused Lu Chen one after another.

"Tsk! Are you embarrassed to say that you are an example for the people? Lu Chen directly looked at the officials who reprimanded him and sneered, "You don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, and you have taken care of those people?" What are you like in those Zhuangzi, you don't have any points? How? Do you have to take out your gourd? After Lu Chen finished saying this, those officials suddenly didn't dare to call out, after all, they knew very well whether they had a bad conscience and what they had done, and besides, these guys could be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of Lu Chen, and the Chang'an County Duke in front of him really didn't care about their family, didn't I see that Lu Chen was still alive and kicking after offending those families with five surnames and seven hopes!

"If you want me to say, what kind of imperial historian are you, you are idle, and you still hear about things, do you know what it means that you have no right to speak without investigation?" Lu Chen's words were not only for Xiao Yu, but also for those imperial historians, "When you receive the news, you have to confirm the reliability of the source, don't you report to Your Majesty what you hear?" Why does Your Majesty have to call people here to confront you every day for the sake of your rumors? Who are you Your Majesty? Lu Chen's words directly buttoned down the big hat to these people, and suddenly these imperial historians shrank their necks and didn't dare to speak.

As for Chai Shao's gang of military generals, they secretly gave Lu Chen a thumbs up, or Lu County Gongmeng! After all, Lu Chen's words had reached their hearts, and they had suffered a lot from the rumors.

"You're still talking about it! You have heard about it, and my father can do it! Lu Chen directly sneered at the group of imperial historians, "You! Hey, yes! It's you, don't hide! Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed to an official standing aside.
