Chapter 541: Peked by a goose
If he had dealt with Cui Pu, he would have known that such thoughts would often pop out of the hearts of everyone who worked against Cui Pu.
Is there any reason left?
They are also conscientious and conscientious in doing things for the imperial court, and they just want to continue to climb up, but why are they harmed to the point where they are today once they confront this guy? Where is the reason of heaven, where is the reason of heaven!
However, Li Zhongshu, who has been pampered in Chang'an City and has never experienced the hardships of lower-level officials, still can't know what other people think. Of course, he won't have a chance to know in the future.
Now, when he saw that the king of Hejian County was kneeling, he also hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The lower official asks the saint to make the decision for the lower official!"
It's just the beginning, and the smell of gunpowder is so strong, I'm afraid things won't be easy!
The saint had a slight headache.
The king of Hejian is his most trusted and favorite brother, and Li Linfu has been his right-hand man for many years. The palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are full of meat, and these two people hope to coexist peacefully, and they have indeed coexisted peacefully for all these years. But why did the fight start today?
Now the two of them are still making such a fuss, this is to put him on the fire to roast!
"Tell me, what is the dispute between you?" Helplessly, His Majesty the Emperor who was high up also started the matter of the Seven Rank Sesame Official.
With the experience of being preempted by the king of Hejian County, Li Linfu hurriedly said this time: "Enlightened sage, the lower official doesn't know! The lower official just entered the palace today as usual to do business, but when he got off at the palace gate, he saw the king of Hejian County. The lower official still wanted to greet him, but who knew that he didn't say a word, and when he came up, he beat the lower official violently!"
Even, his left and right wanted to help, but Liang Changshi still brought people to stop them!
The guards at the gate of the palace didn't seem to expect that the fairy-looking King of Hejian County would suddenly burst out with such a violent side, and they were also stunned. It wasn't until the King of Hejian finished fighting that they reacted. It's just that these two people in front of them are not ordinary people, they don't dare to arrest people, so they can only enter the palace to report to the saint.
I think that he has flaunted his military power in the court for so many years, and he has never been the only one who wags his tail at his feet and begs for mercy, and this is the first time that he has been so embarrassed!
However, why did he feel a sharp pain in his heart when he thought about it, as if he was holding his heart tightly in his hand with a palm?
Quickly let go of this thought, and my heart really didn't hurt.
Just looking at the king of Hejian again, hatred involuntarily emerged, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart......
What is going on? He looked at the King of Hejian with panic in his eyes.
The king of Hejian County smiled at him, and then said: "He is right, the younger brother did beat him without saying a word." The scars on his body are the work of his younger brothers. ”
He really admitted it!
"Why?" the saint was puzzled.
"Because he owes a beating!" The king of Hejian County suddenly turned cold, and then raised his hand and pointed directly at Li Linfu, "Moreover, why you were beaten, don't you know yourself? Now, there are a few people in the government and the opposition who don't want to get rid of you as soon as possible? How many loyal ministers and good generals have you been harmed so far with your meat waist knife! I can't stand it anymore!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Li Linfu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and howled: "The sage is a clear man! The lower officials are dull, and the sage does not abandon the court as an official, not to mention that he has been conscientious and conscientious all these years, but he has also done his best to do things well." Xia Guan is dedicated to the responsibility of the country and the society of my New Tang Dynasty, and everything he does is also approved by the sage. The king of Hejian County didn't know who he had listened to, and he would look at the lower officials like this? The lower officials were really frightened!"
The sage was also very dissatisfied with the words of the king of Hejian. "Thirteen Lang, I know that you like the six boys of the Cui family, and you also like his wife, and you have watched several children in his family grow up, and your feelings for them are extraordinary. Now that he has made a mistake, Li Zhongshu wants to punish him, you are reluctant, this is human nature. It's just that a mistake is a mistake. As a member of the Three Ranks, he deserves to be punished for doing something wrong, and this is not only for him to be taught a lesson, but also for the people of the world to see, so that everyone can see, no matter when and where, as long as he crosses the line, he must be severely punished! Otherwise, if everyone else is allowed to follow the same example, then the way of the world will not be chaotic?"
Hearing what the sage said, Li Linfu was shocked.
Judging by the sage's meaning, he actually only investigated Cui Pu's guilt for crossing the line, and did not mention the matter of collusion with the Turks? That was evidence that he had so easily fabricated! In order to pull Cui Pu off the horse, he spent much more energy than he had to deal with Wang Sizhong and others to make up something, and he was clearly sure that Cui Pu could be brought down!
As a result, now because the king of Hejian County is making such a fuss, the saint is going to let him go?
However, the king of Hejian was as dissatisfied as him, so he said in a loud voice: "Sage, you are right, crossing the line is to be severely punished. It's just that Li Zhongshu said that he colluded with the Turks, where did this come from? Moreover, there are really many people who have colluded with the Turks over the years, and there was the Emperor Fu Weiming of the Hexi Jiedu in the past, and Wang Sizhong in the back. Since Li Zhongshu became the Zhongshu Order, there have been frequent incidents in Chang'an City, and the close people around the prince are almost uprooted by you! The dignified prince, the prince of the country, such a frugal and gentle person, is surrounded by a group of wolf ambitions, this matter is also ridiculous!"
It turns out that he didn't speak for Cui Pu, but came to hold grievances for the prince?
Li Linfu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "It is precisely because the prince is too gentle that the ambitions of those wolf sons are inflated, and they think that they can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future." The prince is still young and doesn't understand the harm, so now he can only let the old minister be this wicked man and help him remove the bad branches on these trunks. ”
"Aren't there more bad branches in your tree, and when are you going to reduce it for yourself?" said the King of Hejian abruptly.
The topic changed so quickly that Li Linfu's mind had not yet caught up, when he heard from the king of Hejian County: "In the first half of this year, your third son forcibly robbed a married woman on Suzaku Street, forcing people to die. In June this year, your brother bought a restaurant on the edge of the Qujiang River for 100 yuan, and he paid 100 yuan for 100 yuan! A restaurant on the side of the Qujiang River can make 100 yuan a month, right? Have you cut this bad branch?" And two days ago, the cook lady in my house went out to buy, and I met the son of the housekeeper in your house, and he was actually molesting the cook on the street. The cook scolded him with words, he actually claimed to be a member of the Zhongshu Lingmen, and he was not afraid of the heavens and the earth in Chang'an City, what kind of thing was I, the dumb county king, in his eyes? Have you cut this bad branch again? and ......"
One thing after another was thrown, causing cold sweat to break out on Li Linfu's forehead.
"Your Royal Highness, the lower official knows that he is wrong!" he hurriedly shouted, lest the county king of Hejian throw out more unfavorable news for him, "Those children are young and ignorant, and they can do whatever they want by relying on their status as lower officials. It was the lower officials who were not strict and made them do the wrong thing. It's just that Xia Guan was too busy before to pay attention to them. Now that I know, I will punish them when I go back!"
"How is that punished? Won't it be the same as your Fuchiro-kun, who beat someone to death in the street, and you just understated him a few words, and then took him home to continue to eat and drink for that punishment?"
Li Linfu screamed in his heart. He had also dealt with the King of Hejian before, and he always thought that he was a good-tempered and talkative person. But today, how could he be as if he had taken the wrong medicine, his tone was so impulsive, and his attitude was so tricky? Moreover, in front of the saints, he revealed the ugly things that he tried his best to cover up one after another.
In fact, these little things are not a matter in his opinion, except for the last one. But now that the king of Hejian County said it so righteously, and the face of the saint above did not look right, he had to give a decent response.
What a madman this Hejian King is! he thought to himself with hatred.
Immediately afterwards, there was another sharp pain in his heart, and he hurriedly covered his chest and frowned.
"Li Zhongshu can't be said by this king to be weak-hearted and plan to escape under the pretext of illness, right?"
He had this idea. But now that the king of Hejian has already said so, he must not be able to do so.
Li Linfu gritted his teeth and could only lower his head: "The King of Hejian County laughed. The matter in front of him has not been resolved, how could Xia Guan leave? Xia Guan was just thinking that since these people had made such a big mistake, they should teach them a good lesson. The king of the county, please believe in the lower officials, after the lower officials go back, they will definitely teach them a lesson, and they will never let you down!"
"What is there to be disappointed in this king? This king is in a bad mood, hasn't he already beaten you up and vented his anger?" King Hejian said lightly, "It's just that this king thinks that Li Zhongshu, as a Zhongshu order, it is your duty to cut off the dead branches and leaves around you for the saint and the prince." However, there are still a lot of dead branches and leaves on your own big tree, so you should first prune your own body and then take care of other people's affairs! Otherwise, where do you have the confidence and qualifications to do this?"
Li Linfu was so angry that his blood surged up, and his chest was like being bitten by ten thousand insects, and the pain went deep into his internal organs.
He couldn't help but cover his chest, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell in large gulps.
When the sage saw this, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "What is wrong with Aiqing?"
The younger brother thought that he should have been told by the minister that he was in his heart and his heart was empty. "The king of Hejian County said coolly.
The saint's eyes were condensed.
This person is really old, and he believes whatever others say. Before he fabricated evidence to bring down Wei Jian, Du Youlin, Huangfu Weiming, Wang Sizhong and others, the saint was also convinced in front of the evidence. Now, it was the turn of the king of Hejian to frame him, and the saint actually believed it!
Hunting geese all day long, and finally being pecked by geese, that's what it means, right?
However, this Hejian County King is really powerful. After hibernating for so long, if you don't make a move, you will shake your position in the heart of a saint!
"Sage Mingjian, Xia Guan did feel a little unwell. The bite in his chest was gradually intensifying, and he had to grit his teeth and whisper forgiveness.
The king of Hejian sneered again, with an expression of 'look, I was right'. Li Linfu had another hatred in his heart, but then there was a pain in his heart, and he immediately didn't dare to hate anymore.
"Since Li Zhongshu is not feeling well, why don't you summon a doctor to show him, sage? Li Zhongshu has been loyal to the country for so many years, if he falls ill, it will be a loss for the country, and it will also be a loss for you, a sage. If you can get rid of the root of the disease for him in time, and let him do more things for the saint for a few more years, then it will be applauded!" After laughing, the king of Hejian said softly and softly.
The saint's face is not very good-looking now. But he still nodded: "Someone, Imperial Doctor Xuan." ”
The Imperial Doctor came over soon. After checking Li Linfu's pulse, the imperial doctor said: "Qiqi sage, Li Zhongshu's pulse is stable, and now he is unwell, which should be caused by overwork." The lower official prescribed a dose of medicine, he went back and grabbed it, ate it, and then had a good sleep, it should be fine. ”
To put it bluntly, he is all right at all! Such a miserable illness is deliberately pretended by him!
The saint's face was immediately clouded.
Li Linfu shouted in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted: "Sage Rongyu, the lower officials have no intention of pretending to be sick." Xia Guan is really unwell, perhaps, he is really tired these days!"
"Since you're tired, then Aiqing should go back and rest for a long time! It's also wrong for me, I've been keeping you so busy all these years, and I really haven't let you rest for a few days. The saint said coldly.
Now, not to mention his forehead, Li Linfu is all over his body and brushing up and down and starting to break out in a cold sweat!
Keep you busy, that is, the emperor can afford you and is willing to entrust you with important tasks. How many people are crying and shouting that they can't get busy! But now, the saint says to let him rest, which means that he intends to divide his power and no longer use him so much!
Good he, the king of Hejian County, usually has no sense of existence, but as soon as he suddenly appeared today, he beat himself violently. That's it, I obviously came to let the saint stand out for himself, but why did in the end, this head didn't come out, but he was rejected by the saint?
Li Linfu hated so much that he wanted to skin the king of Hejian County alive.
No, his chest hurts even more, he really can't stay any longer!
