Chapter 482: The Way of the Law
Han Lu said, "Why don't we go to the capital." ”
Gongsun Wunian asked, "Why? Isn't it more dangerous there?"
Han Lu said, "Do you have a grudge against the imperial court?"
Gongsun Wunian smiled and shook his head, when Yun Shuipiao stole the treasures of the palace, he also helped the six doors to arrest Yun Shuipiao. And there are many people in the court who want to win him over, he just hates the darkness of officialdom and the whirlpool of power, so he chooses to be a ranger. He wants a life of pleasure and revenge, and uninhibitedness.
It's not the kind of high-ranking officials who are generous, and they have fine clothes and food.
If he wants to be the eagle dog of the imperial court, then it is not difficult to become the commander of the Jinyi Guard. If he is willing to serve the court, it will only be a matter of his words.
After all, the emperor was not the only one who wanted to keep him by his side to serve, many first-class officials in the court, princes and nobles, all wanted to keep him, but he resigned a letter and rejected them.
However, those people settled a lot of things for him, even if he broke through the monstrous disaster because of a moment of anger, he was forcibly suppressed by these court officials and the emperor.
Back then, because of Ni Qianxue's death, Gongsun Wunian was like a mad beast, washing hundreds of lives in blood, and even used the water of the Styx River stolen from the Tang Gate to directly cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
According to the imperial court, nearly 1,600 people were killed in that place, including innocent people. This is a big case at any time, an important case.
And this major event, which was enough to shake the entire rivers and lakes, was suppressed by these adults in the court.
The area was cordoned off after a few days by the imperial court, and no one was allowed to enter. Externally, it is only claimed that there is a plague in the blockaded area, and no one is allowed to enter it to prevent the plague from spreading.
As for the rumors that came out before, they were also "suppressed" by Jinyiwei and the six doors, and all the masters of the East Factory.
In the end, this matter was still treated as a plague and then publicized to the world, and the massacre that cost hundreds of lives was replaced by some of the imprisoned death row inmates.
And Gongsun Wunian was directly exonerated from the crime, simply put, the name Gongsun Wunian was never mentioned from beginning to end, and he still retained his reputation as a prodigal son and a famous hero in the Ghost Valley.
The Styx River was blamed on the plague, and the massacre was blamed on a group of death row inmates, who were dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital the day after they were convicted, and beheaded. Although some of them shouted that they were wronged, none of them did not say that they were wronged, and no one cared, and no one knew that they were really wronged.
Although they committed the heinous sins, they all died for Gongsun Wunian. They took on crimes that were not theirs.
The original Zhongzhou League also investigated this matter, but the results of the investigation were ultimately inconclusive, because these big people came to deliver messages, and the Zhongzhou League itself served the imperial court and controlled the rivers and lakes for the imperial court.
Naturally, it is necessary to follow the meaning of the imperial court, although there were some rumors and rumors before, but everyone's hearts are like mirrors, and they all know what is going on, and then they are all tight-lipped and all mouths, and this matter is over.
And the culprit, Gongsun Wunian, has not even been mentioned.
Because the people in the court don't want to pursue this matter, since the court doesn't want to pursue it, naturally no one will pursue it, because the laws in this world are all formulated by the court, in other words, the law is for the court to serve. And the imperial court is the law enforcer.
If there is no one to enforce the law, then where does the law come from? If no one investigates your guilt, then you are innocent, and if you pursue it, even if it is just a small matter of sesame mung beans, he can say that it is a watermelon, and then punish you.
Gongsun Wunian always remembered this incident, when he went to the capital to surrender, but no one pursued it. At that time, Lord Wang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received him, and Lord Wang knocked on the side, and he prevaricated the matter without admitting it.
The official document of the criminal department clearly stated that the plague, the wicked committed crimes, and the list of evil bandits were all shown to him.
Gongsun Wunian also understood their hard work, so he got off the donkey down the slope and returned to the Ghost Valley, and then he refused to Lin Shuiyue, and then took Han Lu away to fly away.
No one knew about this matter except for some high-ranking courtiers and Gongsun Wunian himself.
Of course, it is not only Gongsun Wunian alone to be able to let so many first- and second-class officials in the court and even the emperor "help", although they all appreciate him, but Gongsun Wunian's face alone is of course not enough.
Of course, the person behind Gongsun Wunian is the one who has a big enough face, and the Ming Dynasty is all directed by him. Even if he is an emperor, he has to take care of his face. Besides, the emperor also wanted to keep Gongsun Wunian by his side, and there were only two apprentices under the Guigu Sect, and the emperor also wanted this to balance the other.
After all, "when you are angry, the princes are afraid, and if you live in peace, the world will rest." This sentence is not blown out, but verified by the Guigumen people of all dynasties, and there will be a ghost valley in the birth of every troubled era.
Until the end of the troubled times, the world will rest if you live in peace.
Therefore, the emperor must maintain a balance, although he has been stable in the world for many years, and the four seas have been peaceful. But there are more than one or two people who are not subservient, if this Guigumen person protects those who are not subordinate, then the emperor will have a headache.
What's more, his throne is not clear, his name is not right, and his words are not good. If his nephew Emperor Jianwen really didn't die, he was just quietly dormant. If the Guigu heir protects him, then his country will be truly in danger.
Therefore, to keep Gongsun Wunian is to keep his dragon chair, at least there can be a person who checks and balances. And he admires Gongsun Wunian very much and wants to keep him by his side for my use, but the twisted melon is not sweet, so it can only be like this, so that Gongsun Wunian is grateful to Dade.
No matter from which point of view, this is worth it compared to buying and selling, and it is worth exchanging the lives of thousands of civilians for a Gongsun Wunian, after all, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one will be hard to find. And Gongsun Wunian is not only a general, but also the strongest weapon. A weapon that is enough to fight for the emperor.
Guiguzi was invited by the emperor three times and nine knocks, and he went out of the mountain again to set the northern capital, and now if he can leave his disciples, he can also leave a stand-in.
Gongsun Wunian remembered this past, maybe he would also bow his head to the low eaves.
Gongsun Wunian said: "Okay, then let's go to the capital, this gold is enough to buy a house in the capital, then Mrs. you don't have to do those things anymore, we will buy some shares, and then buy a few maids for Mrs., and I will share the joy of humanity with you." ”
