Chapter 410: The means of making a man
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, her heart was also shocked.
'Oh, please return to the tomb, died of illness, sixty-eight years old. ’
still remembers a cold sentence in the history books, which clearly explained the ending of a generation of virtuous ministers. But now that she thinks about it, she feels a pang of pain in her heart.
The frail and old figure of three years ago still lingered in front of them, but they never saw him again.
Zhang Jiuling's era ended like this. It was replaced by the era of Li Linfu, and then Yang Guozhong...... One generation is not as good as the next. In the end, the entire Tang Dynasty fell into chaos. The good Tang Dynasty came to an end. As it is now, it is gradually going downhill.
"If the saint kept him in Chang'an for a long time, he would not have died so early. Cui Pu was still angry.
"Leave him in Chang'an, watching people like Li Linfu and Niu Cyclamen jump up and down every day? That's really bad. Rather than that, it would be better to let him get away from that place and live a few days of peace. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Moreover, all this is fate, there is no if." ”
Indeed, there are no ifs for those who are dead. But for the living, there is!" Cui Pu said word by word.
Mu Jiaojiao was shocked. "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing. It's just that I originally thought that Xiao Changshi is dead, and Dai Ziang will definitely not end well, and this ending is already good for me. But now it seems that this is still too cheap for them! If they don't pay a price, how can they be worthy of the suffering that Zhang Zhongshu has suffered in the past three years?" Cui Pu sneered.
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, and she slowly regained her composure.
"Have you decided?" she asked.
"It's decided!" Cui Pu fixed his head.
"Okay, I got it. Mu Jiaojiao also nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Cui Pu turned around slowly, hurriedly hugged her, and the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, leaning their heads against her head. "I know I'm being headstrong and irresponsible to you and my children. But I can't help it, I just can't stand it. Let me hold it like this all the time, I can't do it! I must vent it quickly!"
"I know, I know. Mu Jiaojiao nodded lightly and patted him on the back gently, "You are this character, I didn't know it today." So you can do whatever you want, and my children and I are your most solid backing. It's just that if you can, try to be as soft as possible, and don't get caught if you can. ”
"Well, I know. Cui Pu rubbed her face a few times, "Lady, you are so good." ”
Mu Jiaojiao smiled silently.
After the two of them warmed up for a while, Cui Pu stood up, "I'm going to write a letter to Lu Jiu and the prince of Wei." ”
In the next two months, the wind and rain in Yangzhou Mansion were smooth, and the years were quiet, but Chang'an City was turbulent, and things were coming one after another.
First of all, the old mother and grandson who took office in Chang'an Ling complained to the Criminal Department one after another, and the two of them respectively bit Cui Pu and Xiao Changshi and others in King Shou's mansion. The matter of Cui Pu's harboring of the imperial court has just made a big fuss, and the matter of Xiao Changshi and Dai Ziang's eldest son's preference for male style has also become a household name.
During the Tang Dynasty, it became common for officials to raise boys for fun. However, this is all a move that everyone does in private, and they dare not say it on the table. Now once the matter is big, it will become a scandal. And people with such scandals will be judged by the world as misconduct, at least they cannot be tolerated in the officialdom.
Immediately the news of Zhang Jiuling's death came, and the sage was grief-stricken when he learned about it, and posthumously presented Zhang Jiuling with the governor of Jingzhou, the name of the document, and sent people to Qujiang, Shaozhou to worship the mausoleum.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Xianlin, who was named the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, returned to Chang'an, but did not bring Cui Pu, who harbored the Qin criminals, back to Chang'an, but brought back Xiao Changshi's corpse!
Xiao Changshi and Dai Ziang's eldest son, who robbed criminals as slaves, lawlessness, and penchanted men, and a series of crimes were firmly buckled on their heads, and they couldn't take them off.
And Dai Ziang is even guilty of harboring, abetting false accusations, indiscriminately killing innocents and other crimes.
The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there is no way to deny it.
It has been so many years that such a big case has broken out in Chang'an City for the first time.
But that's not the end of it.
When Dai Ziang was brought back to Chang'an, and his eldest son was also taken to the court of the Criminal Department, Cao Shiyi Lang even released an astonishing remark - "At the beginning, dozens of our teenagers of the same age were locked up in the cells of the military camp together, and one night suddenly five or six brightly dressed Lang Jun broke in. They couldn't help but say that they looked at us like piglets, and stripped us naked for inspection. In the end, I was taken away by Xiao Changshi, my brother was taken away by Dai Dalangjun, and other Xiaolangjun were also taken away by Xie Langjun, Guan Langjun and so on. They took one less, and three or four more in one go!"
"We were tormented separately in their houses. But these people still don't think it's enough to have fun, so they often meet together, take us together, and gather people for sexual pleasure. I just saw a lot of nobles in Chang'an City!"
This is another time bomb detonated in Chang'an City, not to mention the shock of the people, even the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty are panicked.
Cao Shiyi Lang seems to have been tortured for three years, and he has already regarded death as home, and he will say whatever he wants in his heart. Just one trial, many noble sons were bitten out by him. The time, the place, the people, everything he said clearly and clearly, it sounded like the real thing.
The officials of the Criminal Department were all dumbfounded. It was easy to react, and they quickly announced that they would leave the church today, driving away the onlookers at the door. However, the words that Cao Shiyilang said have already been remembered by those who have a heart.
Afterwards, despite the government's efforts to suppress it, there were still capable people among the people who picked up the gatherings that Cao Shiyilang said one by one. The people who participated in the party, the little Langjun they carried, and even what they did, were all dug up clearly.
Then, a discerning businessman quickly gathered a group of painters, and based on these gatherings, he produced a set of well-made pictures of the Spring Palace. As soon as the album was published, many people rushed it.
The children of the officials involved tried their best to take back the atlas and burn it. But how could their little strength hinder the spread of the atlas?
Masters are in the folk. The more they suppressed, the more interested the people became in these atlases. The hardcover version is gone, then there are all kinds of manuscripts and copies, flying all over Chang'an City, and everyone began to discuss who and whose Xiao Langjun was painted as the protagonist behind closed doors.
The longer it takes, the more noble sons will be involved. Among them, the highest status should belong to Li Linfu's third son and Niu Xianke's youngest son.
Things intensified, and finally even the saints were alarmed. It was the saint who made a move, and the momentum of the uproar quietly stopped.
It's just that those Lang Jun who have already made the protagonists of the Spring Palace painting have lost face.
At this time, the Criminal Department received a thick piece of information, which was full of the violations of law and discipline that the protagonists of these Spring Palace Pictures had done over the years.
Seeing this information, the officials of the Criminal Department were about to cry - these Lang Jun were not offended at all. Before, because Cao Shiyi Lang was talking nonsense, the people outside spread it again, and they had been tortured by these nobles several times. Now here comes another piece of information...... Once they do, they are afraid that more nobles will be involved. They don't have the guts!
In desperation, the secretary of the criminal department submitted the information to Li Linfu's case.
After patiently flipping through these files, Li Linfu's face was already so black that he was about to drip ink.
Niu Xianke sat respectfully on the side: "Li Zhongshu, what do you say we should do now?"
"In the opinion of Niu Shizhong, how should this matter be resolved?" Li Linfu asked without answering.
Niu Xianke hurriedly laughed: "The lower officials are stupid and can't think of a solution." No matter when and where, the lower officials only listen to Li Zhongshu. As long as you say how to do it, the lower officials will resolutely implement it to the end!"
"The old man knows the loyalty to the saint in the cow waiter. Li Linfu stroked his beard and said, "It's just that now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the six boys of the Boling Cui clan made trouble." This method seems reckless, but in fact, it has a deep meaning!"
"Yes, Xia Guan found out, this is his revenge on us. The cow cyclamen nodded repeatedly.
"It's not just revenge, it's a warning. Li Linfu said, patting the thick stack of files, "Here, but a lot of people's black material has been collected! Although most of them are nonsense, there are also a few fatal ones." According to his temper, he could have just let people disperse and spread it again. In this way, the future of many people will be ruined. But he didn't, what do you think it was for?"
"But he wants to bargain with us?" whispered the cow cyclamen.
"You're right. Li Linfu bowed.
"But what does he want to ask for?"
"What he wants is very simple, just let Benxiang dispose of a few henchmen and give him an explanation. ”
Listening to his words, the cow cyclamen was staring at each other. "This kid is a little too bold! With just a few hearsay news, he dares to threaten Li Zhongshu you?"
"What else is there he doesn't dare to do? Have you forgotten what happened to your brother in Yangzhou?" Li Linfu asked with a smile.
The cow cyclamen was speechless.
Li Linfu let out a sigh: "This young man is really powerful! The old man is a little afraid of him now." ”
"Li Zhongshu, you said so, but you plan to back down?"
"In such a situation, if the prime minister doesn't back down, will he continue to fight him?" Li Linfu glanced at him, "Now that there is such a disturbance in Chang'an City, who still has the courage to make another trouble?" And don't forget, Zhang Jiuling just died!"
Although the saint is old, he is not completely confused. Especially now that Zhang Jiuling is dead, the guilt he feels for Zhang Jiuling in his heart is at its peak. If these two of them, who pulled Zhang Jiuling off the horse at the beginning, dare to make trouble now, see if the saint doesn't clean them up!
Cui Pu also saw this, so he dared to let people come out and make trouble.
And there is only one word they can do now - forbearance!
"Since he wants someone to accompany Zhang Jiuling to the funeral, then Benxiang will let a few people accompany him. It's just that since he has received benefits from Benxiang, he will return these things to Benxiang as they are!" Li Linfu tapped lightly on the couch with two fingers, and said word by word.
