Chapter 156: The Storm Rises Again
In one day, Jin Yiwei's power was restored again, with torture tools, interrogation, and beheading before playing...... Again the power is monstrous.
For a time, the scenery of Jinyi Wei was the same, up and down, full of joy.
But Li Qing knew that the higher he rose today, the worse he would fall tomorrow.
Jinyiwei, it won't last long.
Before Lao Zhu dies, he will definitely get rid of Jinyiwei.
Without him, it was too sharp for Zhu Yunwen to hold it at all.
Jinyiwei is like a double-edged sword, if you can't hurt others, you have to hurt yourself.
Jinyi Zhenfu Division, Jiang Zheng was full of red light, full of spirit, the whole person was full of energy, and he was actively deployed.
Looking at Jiang Zheng now, Li Qing couldn't help but think of Mao Xiang at the beginning.
He knew that Jiang Zheng's fate would only be worse than Mao Xiang's.
"Li Zhen Fu Envoy."
"Humble duty."
Jiang Zhen said with a smile, "The emperor said, let you judge the blue jade well, and the rest will not let you interfere, it's not that this official won't give you a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”
Li Qing nodded with a smile: "I understand." ”
"If only you could understand." Jiang Zhen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said affectionately, "The official commander of the Jinyi Guard has the right to be promoted and promoted, and when it comes to sharing the credit, isn't it my words?"
I am more generous than Mao Xiang, after this time, Jinyi knows that you are the only one! ”
"Master Xie's cultivation." Li Qing smiled perfunctorily.
He was too lazy to take Lao Zhu's cakes, not to mention him Jiang Zhen.
Li Qing has some friendship with Mao Xiang, but he and Jiang Zhen have always been business-oriented, and they have no personal relationship at all.
After a few simple words, he said goodbye and left the Zhenfu Division.
After leaving the Zhenfu Division, he went to Mao Xiang's house and took some money to his family, and the family was grateful to Dade and kowtowed to him.
Li Qing picked up the seventy-year-old lady and said two warm words before turning around and leaving.
……
The court is surging again, different from the Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, and the Guo Huan case, this time the big case caused by Lan Yu is aimed at all nobles.
Wenchen didn't move!
This is not Lao Zhu's compromise with Wenchen, but Xungui is too strong, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, everything is fine in the world, he is not here, who can guarantee that there will be no trouble?
The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked.
When fighting the world, these nobles fought in all directions, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, without their fighting, there would be no Ming, so to speak, they are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.
But when it came time to rule the world, these nobles became trouble, they relied on military merits to harm the people, arrogant, and almost lawless.
In fact, they are understandably so.
The country is fought hard by everyone, and now that you have won the world, you Zhu Yuanzhang has the big head, so you have to let us take the small head, right?
But in fact, there are no big heads at all, and the emperor wants them all.
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, but also most of the other emperors in history.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many things about crossing the river and demolishing bridges and killing heroes.
It's really impossible to judge who is right and who is wrong.
Xun Gui sacrificed his life and forgot to die, and killed a bloody road, when it came time to divide the fruit, who didn't want to eat more and occupy more?
Not everyone is like Xu Dan, who abides by his duty; Like Li Wenzhong and Tang He, they can see clearly;
Greed is human nature and cannot be avoided.
Is Lao Zhu wrong?
On the surface, it's wrong!
In any case, he has a bad reputation for slaughtering heroes, and he can't wash it away for thousands of years.
But in essence, he is not wrong, Wenchen is greedy for money and knows how to cover up, but the nobles are almost clear, and the bad behavior of Wenchen is far away, competing with the people for profit, and even harming the people is too much.
If that's all, it's fine, at most he will be punished, and there will be no murder.
After all, the emperor didn't want to bear notoriety.
However, their influence is too great, so big that they can even threaten the imperial power, which is not something that an emperor can endure.
Today's drunken talk may not happen tomorrow.
Especially when Lao Zhu doesn't have a few years to live, if they don't die, who will die?
Jin Yiwei was very efficient, and after only one day, a large number of nobles confessed, and under such torture, even iron men had to be soft.
One by one, the heroes who shed blood and sweat for the Ming Dynasty were put on the guillotine and their heads fell to the ground.
The name of brocade clothes has once again become a good medicine for children to stop crying.
……
For several days, Li Qing spent time at home, and it was not until the fifth day that he went to Zhao Prison again.
Lan Yu was unkempt, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and the spirit on his body plummeted.
"You're here."
"I'm coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"I know." Li Qing nodded, "But I'm already here." ”
Lan Yu's eyes lowered, "There's dead people out there, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"A lot of people die, right?"
"Hmm."
"Alas......" Lan Yu smiled bitterly, "They die, there is no reason for me Lan Yu to live!" ”
"I've been thinking a lot about it these days." He said bitterly, "If you think about it, if my Lanyu is going to die like this, it seems that there is nothing to complain about, if it were me sitting in that position, I would also kill my Lanyu." ”
Li Qing didn't speak again, just looked at Lan Yu like this, and ...... for a long time
He sighed, "You've changed a lot. ”
"Is it old?"
"No, it's ripe."
Li Qing sighed, thinking that when he saw Lan Yu for the first time, he was still majestic, giving people a posture of cutting people at any time, and even before that, it was not much better.
But today's Lan Yu no longer has a trace of domineering, his momentum is restrained, and he is in his forties, he looks mature and steady, and he is more like a general who commands an army of more than 100,000 troops.
You can grow up like this, and it is not in vain that Lao Zhu has worked hard...... Li Qing walked up to Lan Yu and sat down, and said softly, "The family is okay over there, are you okay these days?" ”
Lan Yu knew that her fate was not long in coming, so she smiled indifferently, "Talk to me." ”
Li Qing nodded, he knew that Lan Yu didn't want him to say, but wanted to talk to someone, so he quietly listened.
After being silent for a while, Lan Yu spoke: "If you think about it, Huo Qubing and I really look like each other!" ”
Li Qing didn't refute, and continued to listen, all for a while, he knew that Lan Yu was not in the mood to brag.
I only heard Lan Yu continue: "He has an uncle Wei Qing, and I have a brother-in-law who often meets spring;
He's a princeling, and I'm a princeling;
The people he supported didn't get to the throne, and the people I supported didn't get to the throne...... The same is true. ”
"Hehe......" Lan Yu smiled bitterly, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoiled Huo Quai's illness to the extreme, and the emperor didn't treat me badly, I don't blame him, it's just... After all, I couldn't ...... like Huo Qu's disease."
His eyes were gloomy, "It's better to end up on this crime than to die in the fishing sea." ”
Li Qing opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he continued to listen.
"Huo Quai's young man joined the army, and I also joined the army as a young man;
Huo Quai's first battle, he broke the Huns with 800 cavalry, killed thousands of enemies, and was named a marquis in a war. ”
After a pause, Lan Yu's eyes brightened, "But I, Lan Yu, also have something stronger than his Huo Quai;
Conquer Bashu, Xibo to quell the rebellion, and recover Yun. In the south, out of the Yanmen Pass to attack the Yema River, the defeat of Timur and the expansion of Timur...... Even though I'm not the manager, I've played a big part in both;
I, the Marquis of Yongchang, have a higher gold content than his champion Hou;
He went deep into Mobei and defeated the Xiongnu royal court; I also went deep into Mobei, defeated the Northern Yuan royal court, and also sealed the wolf Juxu;
Huo Qu's sick soldier peak refers to the Huns, and my blue jade soldier peak is all over the north and south of the river;
I'm no worse than him! ”
Lan Yu said with red eyes: "Even if the future generations despise me, they can't deny my merits!" ”
"Merit is merit, and passing is excess." Li Qing nodded, he finally understood why Lan Yu and Huo Qu were sick.
The two are really alike!
Hearing Li Qing say this, Lan Yu laughed, laughed heartily, for a long time, his bright eyes dimmed again, and said softly: "We are just as arrogant, if Huo Qu's illness did not die young, Emperor Wu of Han may not be able to tolerate him." ”
……
Lan Yu said for a long time, and it wasn't until it was close to noon that he slowly got up: "The hour is coming, let's go!" ”
"Where?"
"Go... Where should I go. Lan Yu looked up at the sky.
The beam of light from the small window on the top of the cell shone on his face, and the dust floated in the room, looking a little older.
Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, "The emperor hasn't ordered you to be killed yet, there is still room for maneuver in the matter, you stay well, and my brother will fight for it again." ”
"No need." Lan Yu shook his head, "You have done your best, Lan Yu has nothing to repay, if there is an afterlife......"
"If you want to stay, you can stay, the case hasn't been tried yet." Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "The crime has not yet been decided, and it is not yet time to die." ”
After a pause, "Don't worry, the emperor has agreed to let me come to trial, indicating that he has not made up his mind to kill you, do you want to die with notoriety?" ”
"I ......," Lan Yu smiled bitterly, "Of course I don't want to, but what can I do?" ”
"To live is to represent hope, don't worry, I will do my best to fight for it." Li Qingqing said with deep righteousness, "Don't let your brother's efforts go to waste." ”
Lan Yu's lips sucked, her eyes moistened, and she said in a dumb voice, "Why help me so much?" ”
"For ......" Li Qing met Lan Yu's gaze and said softly, "For Da Ming!" ”
