Chapter 34 Untrustworthy

A wise man knows autumn when he sees a leaf, but a fool does not know when he is dying.In terms of predictive ability, Fan An and Li Jianbi are at the same level, maybe even more accurate than Li Jianbi.After he finished saying "I feel ominous", something ominous happened in front of the palace.

It was raining heavily tonight, and the army of Xijiang had been waiting outside the Jinshen Hall for three hours. When the emperor Liu Xi and several of his ministers finished discussing the military affairs, it was reasonable to say that they would not summon local officials anymore.He came this time by accident, it happened that the emperor was very busy today.

He was ready to come back tomorrow, but he didn't want the eunuch in the palace to come over and say, "Is that you Mr. Wang? Your Majesty has summoned you, come with me." Wang Chunbao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked his father-in-law.The eunuch didn't turn his head back, he just said he had something to make a long story short, it's so late, don't worry too much about going to the Holy Spirit.

It was the eunuch with palm prints in the palace who spoke, Wang Chunbao quickly agreed and said yes, he walked behind the eunuch for a while, and finally stood in front of Liu Xi's court case.

Liu Xi was still criticizing, so he looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter with Aiqing?" Wang Chunbao knelt down and said loudly, "I have a secret report!"

Wang Chunbao was a military general, he led troops outside all the year round, and his actions were not considered refined, but his words were correct and his voice was bright, almost startled Liu Xi.He put down his pen and asked, "What secret?" Wang Chunbao straightened up, took out a memorial from his pocket, and handed it over his head.

Liu Xi asked the eunuch to take it over, opened it and took a look: it turned out to be the memorial to the impeachment of Li Jianbi.It lists several crimes committed by Li Jianbi, including arrogance and arrogance, forming a party for personal gain, embezzlement and lawlessness, arbitrariness of the third division, etc. There are twelve crimes in total... Liu Xizai looked at it carefully, and his face did not change until he saw the last one. : attempted treason.

Attempt to treason? !Liu Xi's eyes widened, he slapped the memorial on the table, and said angrily, "Wang Chunbao! Do you know who you are suing! What crime is listed! It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor!"

Heh... Wang Chunbao had already made preparations, he held his breath, and said: "I know that I have sued Li Jianbi, the imperial historian of the court, for going outside the customs in an attempt to rebel! I have evidence, and Li Jianbi committed such a crime. To turn a blind eye is to be a minister in vain and to deceive the emperor!"

"During the reign of Li Jianbi, he communicated with Meng Pingshan, the king of Guangyang in private, and conspired against him! Your Majesty, there is a decree that court officials are not allowed to have personal relationships with generals and ministers outside the customs. Li Jianbi knowingly violated the law. Where does the law go, and where does your majesty go? Land?!" Wang Chunbao said, "Don't you know that Li Jianbi is famous in the court, and His Majesty has a lot of trust in him. I can't believe that this happened, but the facts are solid, so I don't allow him to talk about it."

As he spoke, he took out another roll of yellowed paper from his bosom, handed it to Liu Xi who was beside him, and said, "This is the confession of several messengers who have delivered letters for Li Jianbi in recent years, and it was written by Li Jianbi himself. A letter that was not delivered in time."

"In recent years? You said that Li Jianbi has been having an affair with foreigners for several years?!" Liu Xi was startled, took a look at the confession, and pinned a letter underneath, which read, "There is no rain in the painting building, and brocade books will not be sent from now on. "——This is indeed Li Jianbi's handwriting!

Liu Xi was furious. This Li Jianbi has been in the court for more than ten years. He is diligent and upright. He never thought that he would do such a thing without telling him!

Down there, Wang Chunbao secretly looked at Liu Xi's face, thinking that this time, you, Li Jianbi, will finally be killed.He knelt quietly, waiting for Liu Xi's order to dismiss Li Jianbi and investigate.After a while, Liu Xi finally spoke, but he didn't expect to say:

"Understood, you step down first, let's discuss it tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chunbao's face turned pale.There are seven or eight personal eunuchs standing in the Jinshen Palace. He sued Li Jianbi today, but he failed in one blow. Tomorrow, it will be heard in Li Jianbi's ears. There is no way for him to survive.As soon as Qian Jun sent out, he suddenly remembered what Liang Yenian told him when he entered the palace:

"Your Majesty sees that Bi Duo has trust in Li, and it is impossible to shake it easily. If you sue for corruption, lawlessness, and arrogance, His Majesty will not even look at it. His deathbed is cliques and adultery. You only want to arrest him." With these two things, it will definitely move the heart of the Holy One."

Liang Yenian said: "If you don't succeed this time, you will be benevolent. You have long nights and dreams, and you can't breathe for a moment. If your majesty intends to delay, you must admonish me with death!"

Wang Chunbao took a deep breath, raised his hands, and slowly took off the official hat on his head.Liu Xi looked at him and asked what are you doing?Wang Chunbao gave Liu Xi a heavy kowtow, and mournfully said: "Today, I sued Li Jianbi and left the house. I don't know whether I will live or die, and I don't know when I will see Your Majesty again."

Liu Xidao: "What do you mean?"

"Li Jianbi has many eyes and ears in the court. What I do today will be heard by Lantai tomorrow. I have seen Li Jianbi's methods of forming a party and rejecting differences. I would rather die in front of the emperor than die by admonition!" Said suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "The sky has no eyes, let the courtiers be in charge! Your Majesty knows everything, but you must return justice to the temple!" As he spoke, he rushed straight to the front left, and with a bang, he hit the dragon pillar on the spot. Passed out!

This is simply slandering Ah with his life... His teacher Liang Yenian must be very pleased to know.

The seven or eight eunuchs in the palace, together with Liu Xi, all opened their mouths in shock.The bloody light meandered, and covered Wang Chunbao's face, and he lay on his back in front of the imperial case, shocking.

No matter how much Liu Xi trusted Li Jianbi, he couldn't help but be shaken at this moment.

Am I the only one in the court who sees his uprightness, Mr. Zhu Xuesong?Could it be that that person really did a lot of things that both people and gods outraged without telling me, and it takes someone to die before him to clear his grievances? !Liu Xi suddenly remembered the incident of Li Jianbi's adultery with a man in Lutai a few days ago... This man had indeed done something out of the ordinary, but he trusted him so much that he couldn't see it.

Liu Xi was already suspicious, and he could not tolerate betrayal and deception.How much he trusted Li Jianbi before, and now he is so shocked and angry with Li Jianbi.

Jin Yiwei came in from outside the door, and the eunuch guided Wang Chunbao out of Jinshen Hall.

Liu Xijing sat in front of the case, looking down at the confession on the case.Even though he was furious, he still had a trace of clarity, and he couldn't believe that he had really misjudged the person in the past ten years.After pondering for a long time and finding no solution, he turned his head and asked the eunuch Shang Zhongxi beside him, "What do you think of Li Jianbi?"

This question became the last straw that crushed Li Jianbi.

It can also be considered that Li Jian Bi Liunian is not good, if Liu Xiruo turns around and asks Feng Xian, the eunuch with palm prints on the other side, it may be another ending.Unfortunately, when Liu Xi turned his head, he was facing Shang Zhongxi.

And this Shang Zhongxi and Li Jianbi have a sworn feud, just as Li Jianbi himself said: I offended people everywhere in the court, if you guard against one, you can't guard against that.

The fact that Li Jianbi offended the eunuch Shang was not intentional by Li Jianbi: at that time, Shang Zhongxi was the admiral and eunuch and horse supervisor, close to the emperor, and still held a little military power in his hands. An eunuch who can do this is considered the ultimate up.But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and Shang Zhongxi's goal is to one day be able to achieve the position of the great eunuch of the palm print.

Seven years ago, he had a chance to be promoted to the eunuch of Palm Printing, but Li Jianbi stepped in and this position was taken by someone else.Li Jianbi has a high position and authority, and is well-known in the imperial court as "untouchable". He has resentment in his heart, but he dare not do anything about it.

After five years of hard work, he finally killed the former eunuch with palm prints. In terms of seniority, he was the only one who was in the position at that time, but he never expected that Li Jianbi stepped in again halfway through!He actually supported Feng Xian to take the position of eunuch with palm seal!

You are a royal censor, you are in charge of all the officials, why do you even like to interfere with the eunuch?So who is Feng Xian?How dare you sit on top of me!

He scolded several generations of Li Jianbi's ancestors at home, and Li Jianbi probably didn't know how many villains he had imprisoned.

This time the world is falling, God gave him a chance to take revenge, if he didn't bury Li Jianbi to death, he would feel sorry for his own conscience!

Shang Zhongxi made a embarrassed expression on his face, and wrote lightly in a low voice: "It's hard to say that Mr. Li is a slave, but the people in the court are indeed quite critical of him, but His Majesty trusts him, and everyone dares to be angry. Sigh. ... If this person remembers His Majesty's kindness, it's all right, but the servant hears some gossip from time to time, and feels angry for His Majesty..." He paused at this point, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Xi frowned and said, "What did he say?"

"A few years ago, there was a freezing disaster in Minguan. At that time, the Ministry of Households allocated a batch of money, but Mr. Li felt that the amount was too small. He once said a word..." Shang Zhongxi said, "He said, 'Small disasters cannot be relieved. , why the Son of Heaven?'"

Hearing this, Liu Xi slapped the table and said angrily: "Bold!" Shang Zhongxi was so frightened by his words that he knelt on the ground, and said, "Damn you slave!"

"What he said, is he saying that Lian is not worthy of being the emperor?! Lian is not worthy, who is worthy?!"

In fact, Li Jianbi was really wronged, and his original words were just: If you can't quell a small disaster, how can you help the emperor to pacify the world?

A few words were omitted by Shang Zhongxi, and all of them had different meanings.

Liu Xi was extremely angry and shouted: "Come on!"

"Li Jianbi, the leader of Lantai, deceived the emperor and went up to him, plotting rebellion! Dismissed and investigated, dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment, and handed over to Dali Temple! Go immediately! Don't stay!"
