Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

Chang'an has every inch of gold and every inch of land. To build an extra house, you can't wait to wipe the eaves next to it and stand it up.In such a place, it is impossible to build a prison for those who commit crimes.The prison of the Ministry of Justice is located underground, and it is more than a little colder here than outside.As long as a person stands here, no matter how thick he wears, his knees will only tremble.

However, even so, the environment here is much better than other places.

Taihuitan was imprisoned here when he was escorted to Beijing.Because no one dared to intercede for him, there was no place around the cell to provide heat.

Before that, when he was standing on the big ship filled with countless treasures, he never thought that he would end up in such a way when he went to Beijing.Obviously, it should be in the luxurious and glorious Golden Temple, Emperor Yongjia bestowed countless rewards, and he will become the number one celebrity around him today.What are those achievements?To win the favor of the master is clearly the right way to walk in the officialdom.

However, with the sinking of those four treasure ships, his righteous way also completely sank.

The sound of the iron rope pulling on the prison door finally gave the huddled governor of Water Transport a little reaction.Two yamen servants dragged him up from the ground, dragged him out of the cell and walked outside.

As the steps went up step by step, Tai Huitan gradually came to his senses.His teeth were chattering coldly, and he stammered and asked eagerly, "Two big brothers, where are we going!"

One of the officials humbly called the two yamen brothers, no matter how they heard it, they thought it was funny.But these two convicted officials who lost their power after seeing them lost their power for a long time, were mad and howling in this prison, their expressions did not change for a moment, and they only said: "Arraignment."

Hearing this, Taihuitan was shocked.He was still holding on to hope, thinking that instead of directly convicting him, he would be interrogated, which meant that there were still people outside begging for him.Could it be the prince?He couldn't help thinking that.

Yes, it must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.They are relatives of sons and daughters, and he has done so many things for His Highness.If he falls, this Highness will not be able to protect himself!The prince would not be so stupid as to treat him with death.

Thinking of this, Taihuitan was so excited that he cried, his tears and snot became a ball and froze.

It's a pity that his wish seems to have been shattered, because the two yamen servants did not lead him to complete the steps here.He stopped only halfway and led Tai Huitan into a room.This is not the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This case is only being tried in secret.

When Taihuitan fell to the ground, he knew it was over.He stared in horror at the brazier in front of him, feeling like a moth about to burn to death in it.

Sitting behind the brazier was a young man in a thick fur. He had a handsome face, but his expression was too cold to be human.Taihui stared at him blankly.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao..."

Liang Yu looked down at the embarrassing governor in front of him, and greeted him emotionally: "Governor Tai, we meet again."

Taihuitan trembled, couldn't help shrinking his figure, and couldn't help approaching the brazier.In fact, he couldn't remember what it was like when he saw Liang Yu in Liangxi.

Tai Huitan was very anxious when his subordinates were captured by this highness.Anxiously thinking about how to get out of this predicament.He followed Zhen Yingjia to Liangxi to find His Highness.He was terrified of being threatened a few times at the table, and almost immediately agreed to use Bing to make up for the crime.

This His Highness also seems to know that Jiangnan is unshakable, and he made such a place only because he couldn't make a deal.When the two sides combined, they passed without any risk.

After Liang Yu returned to Beijing, there were big and small incidents in the capital, which involved many officials.The water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep, and when a stone comes down, the ripples are gone, and a few small fish and shrimps are gone, and there is no loss at all on the big head.

Tai Huitan still thought that this His Highness was just a strong outsider, and he didn't dare to be careless with these old officials.After all, their hands and eyes are open to the sky, if His Highness King Zhao is really ambitious, he should really talk to them well.

However, things seemed to be a little different after that.

First, the letters from His Royal Highness to Jiangnan became more and more close, and the contents in his heart became more and more inexplicable to Taihuitan.For some reason, Liang Ye felt that Jiangnan had escaped his control.In the letter, he strongly questioned his and Zhen Yingjia's loyalty.Taihuitan also felt rather dissatisfied at the inexplicable moment.

Because the prince's urging was too urgent, Taihuitan couldn't help but test Lin Hai, the master of salt class in Yangzhou.However, although Lin Hai in his eyes still has the innocence of a scholar, he is not a fool.Every time you dial, you can do it satisfactorily.I really don't know where His Royal Highness got so many suspicious people.

Later, news came from Beijing.The brother-in-law who worked for the prince was disgusted by the prince because he robbed someone else's restaurant.Taihuitan said clearly that his subordinates were not doing things well, so he blamed himself.Therefore, when the prince sent another letter, Taihui Tan just perfunctory.It doesn't matter if you want money, feel free to deal with it.

What happened next was really unpredictable.He first heard that the bank that the Zhen family secretly ran in the capital was taken away by someone, and he had to keep tailing himself to protect himself.Then the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the house, and Zhen Yingjia lost the main force of the Beijing-China Alliance.One after another, they clearly imply that the Zhen family is in trouble.

When Taihuitan was startled into a cold sweat, he examined the details.It was discovered that it was the prince who confronted Su Wang tit for tat, and then used his subordinates to fill cannon fodder.They even dare to plot against Zhen Yingjia, when will it not be my turn?He thought so, and at the same time began to express his loyalty in a panic.

The four ships were indeed overloaded, and most of the things in them were dedicated to the crown prince by Taihuitan himself, and secretly dedicated to King Su, so that they could be used to please both sides.

As a result, he dedicated the rest of his official career to him.

Seeing his blank eyes, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang was not in a hurry to ask questions, and just asked someone to bring a bowl of Hu spicy soup.After so many days, Taihuitan finally ate some hot food, and immediately burst into tears.

I have been pampered and pampered for too long, and I really can't bear any grievances.

"In the past, when we parted ways in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't expect it to be like this when we met again," Liang Yu flipped the lid of the tea bowl, saying sobs, but there was no sign of sobs.

With a snot in his nose, Taihui said in a low voice: "The guilty minister owes His Majesty's grace."

"You are indeed guilty of God's grace," Liang Yu said, his gaze more cold than that of the dark cell fell on Tai Huitan, "Father is very angry, and I don't know how much the governor of Thailand's family property is, is it enough for the boatload of salt?" Tax."

Taihuitan really didn't like the salt tax, and immediately shouted: "The guilty minister is willing to go bankrupt!"

Liang Yu smiled, and said slowly: "My lord, don't talk so much. But if you lose a stone Buddha, you will go bankrupt if you lose a boatload of money. If it is other things, what will your lord buy your life for? "

Tai Huitan's heart beat wildly, the pottery bowl in his hand shattered with a snap, and he looked at Liang Yu in horror.

"Governor Tai knows, why am I interrogating you alone today?" Liang Yu asked leisurely.

"No, I don't know," Tai Huitan lowered his head, the panic in his heart continued to magnify, his frozen head finally realized that in this small room, only he and King Zhao were wrong.

"My lord, why pretend to be confused by pretending to understand," Liang Yu sighed slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Taihuitan's answer.

Tai Huitan was so shocked that his whole body became stiff.At the banquet in Liangxi that year, he used the same tone and the same words to lament the dull and ignorant His Royal Highness at that time.Today, this sentence was completely returned to him.

"Taihuitan..." His Royal Highness Zhao cried out with emotion, "Father asked me to interrogate you alone, saying that he wanted to give you a chance to reverse the case. But you are so ignorant of current affairs, how can I help you?"

Scene after scene passed through Tai Huitan's mind, those things that were enough to send him to prison countless times, and ransacked his home countless times.

"Your Highness, I, the guilty minister, really don't know, please ask Your Highness to clarify." Tai Huitan was a little anxious, if he didn't know the charges against him, how could he justify himself based on this.While panicking, he began to think about what could make Emperor Yongjia particularly angry.

Liang Yu let him think, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he was able to speak better in the future.Emperor Yongjia was indeed suspicious of Taihuitan, suspecting that he brought so many things to Beijing for some other purpose.Otherwise, it is very different from the attitude of cherishing Buddha statues as it is said.Emperor Yongjia simply believed that Taihuitan brought so many things that were not just dedicated to himself.

Perhaps it was dedicated to his sons, or bribed to the ministers of the court.

Emperor Yongjia was very angry with Taihuitan's recklessness and eagerness for quick success.If it wasn't for his magical writing, why would I have to move to Daxiangguo Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha, my waist is sore and my back hurts all day long, so I can't feel comfortable.The most important thing is that the overly upright censors in the court really took this matter as a sign, and the memorial said that the palace was built "for the past year, with the intention of indulging extravagance; laboring the people and wasting money, and indulging desires to labor people."

This was the most annoying thing for Emperor Yongjia.I think he has been diligent and conscientious for many years, and he has worked diligently for the people.Now it's just one or two extravagances, why can't it?They have to live like ascetic monks, are these officials satisfied?

The last time the prince lost his morals, some officials scolded him on the nose, saying that he has no way to teach his son.This time, Emperor Yongjia, who was forced to hide in the Daxiangguo Temple, didn't want to take the blame for his extravagance even more.

So the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something deceitful in it. What he hinted to Liang Yu was obvious, he wanted Taihuitan to admit that all of this was Taihuitan's own idea and sank the stone statue.It has nothing to do with the emperor's conduct.

This is an excellent knife, holding it in Liang Yu's hand, he really can't bear to cut a few casually like this.

Of course, the governor of Water Transport must admit his guilt, but it is definitely not the trivial and innocuous petty crime of today.Liang Yu decided that what he wanted his father to get was not a charge of only being confused at the moment.It is a blood book that records how many people's fat and people's anointing on the canal were swallowed up and misappropriated in the past.

The author has something to say: Fa Xiao came back from Japan yesterday and went to a dinner party.Then my physical fitness wasted for an afternoon and I couldn't do it anymore.I came back to take a nap and slept until ten o'clock in the evening
