Chapter 45: The Beginning of the Dawn
Lu Daonan led his troops to destroy the Golden Snake Gang and the second prince to kill Li Yue, and finally reached the Beijing division in the evening.
Wei Yan's face was cloudy and he looked at the secret report in his hand, "This Lu Daonan is so bold, he dares to mobilize the army on such a large scale without a military order, he really thinks he is the emperor of the soil, and Li Yue is also a wreck, I really don't know how he was the state pastor, and he worked hard to bring him to this position, and he repaid me like this?"
Then, he said to the cronies in front of him, "Go and inform Governor Wang, if he can help me get rid of Lu Daonan tomorrow, I can give him the post of Yangzhou Governor." ”
When his cronies left, a man's voice came from the shadows, "General Wei, Lord Bi Fang is very dissatisfied with the destruction of the Golden Snake Gang, and you also know how huge the income that the Golden Snake Gang brings to our Heavenly God Gang every year, this time I am afraid that General Wei needs to give Lord Bi Fang an explanation." ”
Wei Yan glanced at the shadows with a gloomy face, "I'm tired to go back and tell Lord Bi Fang that although the Golden Snake Gang has been destroyed, it has also given us a chance to get rid of Lu Daonan, compared to the value of Yangzhou Duwei, a Golden Snake Gang is a fart." ”
"Hehehehe, I hope everything is as General Wei expected. As the laughter wore off, the room returned to calm.
Over the years, they looked down on Wang Cheng and disdained to be with the eunuchs, and the general may have been out of cultural self-confidence, always afraid that these literati would play behind their backs, so they didn't take them to play, so in the past ten years, if you want to talk about who in the Beijing division has a bad time, it should be these scholars, who are caught in the middle and uncomfortable.
And they all know that Li Yue belongs to the general's faction, and now being erased by the second prince seems to be sending a signal to them that the royal family is going to take action against the general.
The next day, above the court, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered here.
Although the emperor has not been in politics for ten years, but the daily morning dynasty is still carried out as scheduled, the head of the civil official Prime Minister Danyue every early dynasty stands in place and closes his eyes to recuperate, without saying a word, so every early dynasty is a confrontational play between the general and the general manager.
After talking about some innocuous topics, Chen Fuchang, the sycophant guard next to the general, said, "I think everyone has heard that yesterday, Lu Daonan, the governor of Yangzhou, privately transferred an army, besieged Jinling City, and forced to death Lord Li Yue, the governor of Yangzhou, who was really lawless, and I think this thief must be severely punished." ”
"Lord Chen is right, this thief must be severely punished, poor Lord Li, in order to let the people of Yangzhou live a rich life, he has always been diligent and dedicated, but he never thought that he would end up like this, it is really chilling. Tai Changcheng on the side echoed casually.
Taichang Qing Yin Yuan glanced at his old partner without a trace, and then closed his eyes, and the old god was standing there on the ground.
"If it is really as Tai Changcheng said, then the imperial court must not let Lu Daonan go so easily, otherwise who in this world will be willing to do things for the imperial court, and who will work hard for the well-being of the people. What do you think, Lord Steward?" asked the Great General Wei Yan to Wang Cheng.
The general laughed, how dare we discuss the government as our family, but if this is the case, then let alone our family, even the people in the market will not forgive this lawless thief who brutalized the Qing officials. Wang Cheng said indignantly, as if he was really very sad and indignant because of Li Yue's death.
"Chief Manager Wang, General Wei, the lower officials have the courage to ask, have you really made an on-the-spot investigation? Are you sure that Master Li Yue is a good official who is poor and serves the people? Why is the news I got that Li Yue colluded with the Golden Snake Gang to fish and meat in the township, but the thief Lu Daonan in your mouth is deeply loved by the local military and civilians, and Li Yue's death was committed by the second prince himself, so why do you question the judgment of the second prince again?" Guangluqing Jia Ge asked loudly.
Everyone frequently looked sideways, and after many years, someone finally began to disagree with Wang Cheng and Wei Yan, I don't know what the ending of this budding bird is?
"The second prince is young, and it is reasonable to listen to the slanderous words of traitors, and as soon as the second prince arrived in Jinling, he lived in Lu Daonan's mansion, and he was even more confused by the beauty of the second lady of the Lu family, so it is inevitable to listen to Lu Daonan's slander and make a misjudgment, which does not prove that Lu Daonan is innocent, but you dare to openly frame a court official above the court, and it is for a lawless thief to frame a diligent and diligent The governor of a state who works hard and complains, do you know that this is a capital crime, come here, take him down for you, put him in prison, and carefully interrogate how much Jia Ge has done over the years. Wei Yan said coldly, and directly convicted Guangluqing and Jia Ge of the death penalty, which is really a great majesty.
Looking at the two soldiers who walked in from outside the hall, the other scholars and doctors all looked gloomy, this is the fate of being a bird, if you don't agree with each other, you will be thrown into the prison, and then all kinds of charges will be thrown at you, even if you are innocent, it is difficult to justify, this Guang Luqing's life is over. They looked at Prime Minister Dan Yue, only to see that Dan Yue was still standing there with her eyes slightly closed, ignoring the things around her. Their hearts couldn't help but rise with the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.
"Slowly, as Guang Luqing said, the palace also heard that Li Yue was powerful, in recent years, he colluded with the Golden Snake Gang, wantonly oppressed the people of Jinling, and put the people of Jinling in fire and water, so the palace ordered someone to send a message to Lu Daonan, the governor of Yangzhou, ordering him to mobilize troops and horses to get rid of the Golden Snake Gang and Li Yue, and return the people of Jinling to a bright future. This is the evidence of Li Yue's crime. The crown prince Hong Dingwen on the side spoke, stopping the two soldiers who wanted to take Guangluqing Jia Ge away.
After speaking, he handed the scroll in his hand to Wei Yan, who flipped it at will, looked at it a few times, and then the internal force shocked, turning the scroll into ashes.
"A bunch of nonsense, who is so bold, dare to slander the court officials so much, and use these scrolls as evidence to deceive the prince, so that the prince makes a wrong judgment, the prince please rest assured, the minister will do his best to find out those thieves who dare to deceive the prince one by one, Guang Luqing is the first, but by no means the last, please return to the palace to rest with peace of mind, and the rest will be handed over to the minister. Wei Yan said respectfully to Hong Dingwen, and then a coercion burst out, directly crushing Hong Dingwen speechless, and Hong Dingwen, who had never practiced martial arts, was directly crushed to the ground by this coercion.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwell, come and help His Royal Highness return to the palace. Wei Yan continued.
The next moment, a figure walked out from behind the prince, and with a wave of his big hand, he instantly dissolved the coercion of Wei Yan, turned around and pulled Hong Dingwen up from the ground, this person was Yan Yi.
"What kind of thief, dare to trespass into the court. Wei Yan shouted angrily, and then directly turned his palm into a knife and slashed towards Yan Yi, wanting to slash Yan Yi to death one by one.
Looking at the fierce Wei Yan, a sneer hung on the corner of Yan Yi's mouth, and then his right foot drew back in a semicircle, twisted his waist and hips, and kicked on Wei Yan's hand knife, and then, Wei Yan turned his hand into a claw, grabbed Yan Yi's right foot, and threw Yan Yi up with all his strength.
Yan Yi was not in a hurry, borrowed his right foot in mid-air, and attacked with his left foot extremely quickly, kicking Wei Yan's throat with infinite sword intent.
Facing Yan Yi, Wei Yan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly let go of his right hand and blocked Yan Yi's desperate blow, Wei Yan was directly kicked upside down and flew out and landed at the gate of the palace.
"A bold thief, who dares to commit murder above the court, come and take it down for me. Wei Yan's eyes were gloomy, and he shouted angrily outside the hall.
Countless soldiers rushed in, forming a combined attack array and killing Yan Yi.
