Chapter 6 Redress of Grievances (2)
On the morning of the second day, Li Li came to Dali Temple, Chen Wenyuan went out to greet him, because Li Shi worshipped his brother as a teacher, and the two became friends. www.biquge.info Chen Wenyuan invited Li Jiao to sit down, and instructed him to look at the good tea left and right, Li Li drank two sips of tea, spit out the tea leaves back into the cup, put them on the table, and said to Chen Wenyuan:
"I have something I want to ask Brother Wen Yuan. ”
Chen Wenyuan didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly asked what was the matter, Li Li continued:
"Last month, the former Shuofang military envoy Pingcheng Liang was accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and beheaded to show the public, has Brother Wen Yuan ever heard of this?"
"Yes, everyone in the court knows about this matter, it is only controlled by Yang Guozhong alone, and he was convicted without the trial of Dali Temple, many people are afraid that Yang Guozhong dares to be angry and dare not speak, I don't know why the prince suddenly mentioned this matter?"
Li Jiao asked:
"Brother Yiwen Yuan, do you think Pingcheng Liang will collaborate with the enemy?"
Chen Wenyuan didn't know what Li Jiao's intentions were, thought about it, and said:
"Pingcheng Liang in Shuofang army for more than 20 years, and the Tibetan, Turkic and other countless battles, the emperor read that he worked hard and made great achievements, over the years tired and injured countless times, the old disease often recurred, so he called him back to Beijing, to recuperate for the rest of the day, to say that such a person will collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, I Chen Wenyuan will not believe it. ”
Li Li laughed and stood up:
"Exactly. ”
Chen Wenyuan saw that Li Jiao's reaction was unusual, and asked:
"I don't know what the prince wants?"
There were no outsiders here, Li Jiao looked around for a while, then lowered his voice and said:
"I can't hide it, I have had several relationships with Ping Qingyun, the son of Pingcheng Liang, and now his family has been killed, and his father has been framed again, and he wants me to redress his Ping family. ”
Chen Wenyuan can be the secretary of Dali Temple and be in charge of serious criminal and prison cases in various places, so he naturally must be upright, fair and strict. The Heike case was originally an unjust case, and everyone knew about it. Moreover, Yang Guozhong controls the dynasty, Chen Wenyuan has long been at odds with him, and now King Guangping wants to rehabilitate the Ping family, which means that this is actually the meaning of the prince of the East Palace, and this matter is in line with him, and then asked:
"Can the prince let this case be retried, I don't know how to make His Majesty the Emperor have this will?"
"This matter does not need to be retried by the emperor's decree. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Wenyuan asked.
"Ping Qingyun, the son of Pingcheng Liang, will come here to beat the drum and voice his grievances, and you will temporarily take him into custody, and then write an excerpt to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely issue an order to remand it for retrial after he knows about it. ”
"Then how can the case be overturned for the Ping family, what is the master's plan?"
Li Jiao instructed Chen Wenyuan to only follow the usual procedures, and when the time comes, take the letter in the cabinet treasury and compare it with the previous documents of Pingcheng Liang, and know the result, and write this matter in detail on the chapter, and the emperor will know it at a glance, but this matter needs to be concealed from Yang Guozhong and quickly concluded, and the result must be played to the emperor before Yang Guozhong intervenes, then the matter can be completed.
After the two discussed, Li Li left. After returning home, Li Jiao and Gao Fenglin and Ping Qingyun discussed, tomorrow Ping Qingyun will go to Dali Temple, today he has to go to the palace cabinet treasury to get the documents of the original case, and the three divisions will be tried in the future, if Yang Guozhong wants to intervene and destroy the evidence, there is no way to start. In this way, even if Ping Chengliang cannot be rehabilitated immediately, he can clear Ping Qingyun's suspicion and no longer be wanted.
Since Li Tang, the emperor's residence is in the Taiji Palace, and after Emperor Gaozong built the Daming Palace, it was transferred to the Daming Palace. Since Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, the Xingqing Palace when he was the king was expanded on a large scale, becoming one of the three major areas of Chang'an City, and he lived in this Xingqing Palace in the future.
According to the court, if it is not the emperor's holy decree, the emperor and grandson are not allowed to enter the palace without authorization, but Li Li is an exception, he is the eldest son of the prince, and the prince has to go to the Xingqing Palace every day to kneel and worship the emperor, and the prince often takes Li Li into the palace to face the saint, so that Li Li can enter and exit the Xingqing Palace at will. coincided with the emperor's favor Yang Guifei, playing and drinking every day, often staying up all night, sleeping until noon before waking up, the prince entered Xingqing Palace every morning and waited for the emperor.
After Li Jiao returned home, he changed into clothes, and he naturally had to wear a decent dress when he was a saint. Li Jiao and his entourage came to the Xingqing gate, and he entered the palace alone, waiting outside the palace gate. But after he entered the palace, he did not meet the emperor, but came to a remote place in the palace complex in the north, which was where the palace maids lived.
Li Jiao called the female official of the Shang Palace, the female official of the Shang Palace was surnamed Xie and called Xiaoyuan, the small character Hong'er, from the Xie family, a famous family in Chen County, Henan, and the ancestor was Xie Shang, a famous man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Nine years ago, when she was only 10 years old, she and her brother Xie Yuanzong were sentenced to serve in the palace due to the Wei Jian case, and Xie Yuanzong was assigned to Lingnan and was not allowed to enter Beijing again. Before leaving, Xie Yuanzong begged Li Li to take care of his beloved sister, Li Li was entrusted by others to take care of Xie Yuan, and it was precisely because of this that although she was a family member of the prisoner, she could also be promoted to a female official.
Xie Xiaoyuan heard that someone reported that the king of Guangping was summoned, so he hurried over, Li Jiao and her have not seen her for several years, and when I saw it today, Xie Xiaoyuan has grown from a young girl to a slim beauty. I saw her tiptoeing silk shoes, wearing a gorse jade and scratching her head, the willow slender waist is like a plain, her eyes are like autumn water, her lips are outward, her teeth are fresh, her bones are like agarwood, and her muscles are like white jade.
Seeing Li Jiao looking at herself like this, Xie Xiaoyuan's cheeks were fiery, and she lowered her head, making her even more coquettish. Li Jiao realized that he was out of shape, hurriedly withdrew his eyes, straightened his color, took a sip, and said to Xie Xiaoyuan:
"I've been busy with other things in the past few years, and I haven't come to visit you Hong'er, I wonder how you've been doing lately?"
Xie Xiaoyuan and Li Li haven't seen each other for many years, and as soon as they met, they heard Li Li ask how their lives were, and they couldn't help but be greatly moved:
"Hong'er thanks the prince for his mercy, if it weren't for the prince's good care for Hong'er in the past few years, Hong'er would not be where she is today. Saying that, he knelt down to Li Jiao, kowtowed to him in gratitude, Li Jiao hurriedly helped her up, and when she touched her hands, she felt that her skin was like slippery jade, extremely soft and crisp bones, and she couldn't help but feel stunned, as if she had been shocked, and her hands refused to let go.
Xie Xiaoyuan squirmed, and barely broke free of Li Jiao's hands, Li Jiao realized that he had lost his temper again, so embarrassed, withdrew his hands, his hands clenched into fists again, and his fingers kept opening and closing. After a while, Li Li said again:
"In the future, if there is anything unsatisfactory about Hong'er, just say it to me, and I will make the decision for you. ”
Where does Xie Xiaoyuan usually hear this, in the harem, they are all female dependents, he is a female official in the palace, in charge of the cashier of the harem, and he is faced with paper thin seals all day long, Li Jiao said this and made his heart beat wildly, his face was hot, and he said:
"Hong'er is very good now, I have nothing else to ask for, I just ask the prince to come to visit Hong'er often. When the last sentence came out, it was already like a mosquito and a fly, and it was shy, which made it even more beautiful.
Li Jiao was intoxicated by this soft whisper, and only felt that her voice was extremely good, and she never got tired of listening to it, and almost forgot the purpose of this in the future.
"If I get a gap, I will definitely come to visit Hong'er. Li Li said gently,
"There is one thing right now, but I need Hong'er to handle it for me. ”
Seeing that Li Jiao had something to ask for, Xie Xiaoyuan was full of joy, and she only hoped that she could do ten, hundred, and thousands of things for him.
"If the prince has any orders, Hong'er will definitely do it. ”
Li Jiao Zhengse said:
"This is a big deal, so you have to listen carefully. You are a female official of the Shang Palace, in charge of the printing of the harem documents, and can freely enter and exit the cabinet library, I need you to find a file for me, which is the file of Pingcheng Liang, the military envoy of the original Shuofang last month, together with this file, there is also a letter, which was written by Pingcheng Liang to Tubo Ma Chongying, this file and letter you have to get for me, I have to use, in addition, you take a few more pieces of Pingcheng Liang's previous writing, you can take three or five copies of him, and bring them to me together. ”
Xie Xiaoyuan looked at Li Jiao's face, although he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't think it was a trivial matter, so he went to the cabinet library according to his words, first found three copies of the book in the military affairs classification, and then found Pingchengliang's file in the case that had been handled, and the letter and the file were sealed together, so he took them out together and handed them to Li Li.
