[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

It rained for several days in a row a few days ago, and as soon as the sun cleared today, the stone steps of Chang'an City turned green.I don't know if it was too cold last year, and this year's summer seems to be coming sooner than in previous years.Not long after Liu Fu took off his padded clothes, he couldn't even wear his unlined clothes anymore.But because he was going to meet the ministers, he had to put on a dark coat neatly over his inner coat. When Chu Ping came in, he was eating a cup of something he didn't know what it was, and sighed comfortably while eating.

Seeing him, Liu Fu pushed the food towards him, "Chu Zuojian should also use some, to cool off the heat."

Chu Ping hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, use it, how dare I overstep it."

Liu Fu withdrew his hand regretfully.Mrs. Yang made this for him. The name seems to be Bingtang or something. It is said that the juice is squeezed out of the fruit, mixed with medicinal tea and milk, and then a piece of ice is taken out of a deep well and crushed into pieces the size of a fingernail. Add it in and make it.Liu Fu loves to eat, Yang is good at cooking, and the two hit it off.Liu Fu ate to his heart's content, only to feel that it was sweet and cool, refreshing his heart, and the heat really dissipated a lot.Chu Ping didn't eat it, but he was happy to enjoy it to himself, and he ate it up in a short time. If there were no people around, he probably wouldn't let go of the little juice on the spoon.

Zhao Duo handed over the handkerchief, Liu Fu took it smoothly, wiped his mouth, Zhao Duo silently withdrew holding the bowl and the handkerchief.Chu Ping saw that the little eunuch was wrapped with cloth strips, and felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart. He took a look at him, then turned his head and said to Liu Fu: "The king ordered the minister to interrogate Lu Shi and General Baihu. case, the minister has roughly ascertained the situation."

"Oh, how is it?" Liu Fu was looking cool, squinting his eyes slightly to look at him.

Chu Ping was the eldest son of Chu Yuyuan, only a few years older than Liu Fu, and looked very young, at this moment he knelt down in front of Liu Fu, and said eloquently: "After being interrogated by my ministers, Mrs. Li has indeed spoken against the king. "

"Li Shi?"

"Yes, the person who uttered lies to the generals of the hundred households that day was not a member of the Lu family, but the Lu family's steward, named Li Jingbo."

Liu Fu nodded, "I see, let's continue."

"The king originally rewarded a hundred generals with five acres of land in the south of the city. The Lu family took four of them and the other four acres, totaling eight acres, and built a garden house. The hundred generals brought ten people to ask the Lu family for the house. , and the entire eight mu of land, the Lu family did not allow it, and the two sides clashed, because the Lu family had many servants, and a hundred generals were injured by him."

"Then how do you deal with it in your opinion?"

"According to my opinion, generals from hundreds of households robbed civilian houses by force, and they should be demoted to the third class according to the law. With his official position, he should be exempted from being a commoner. Li Jingbo has committed a crime of disrespect, and he should be executed. Then the court will come forward and formally claim the four mu of land. If the Lu family still refuses to give it, then the Patriarch will be punished."

"I don't think it's that simple." Liu Fu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. This expression made Chu Ping feel a little elusive, "Li Jingbo is just a mere manager, how dare he say such a thing? I see him Someone must have taught him to say this behind the scenes, so you can check it out."

Chu Ping thought for a while, and then replied, "Yes!"

A few days later, Chu Ping came to report the case to Liu Fu again. At that time, Liu Fu had just practiced swordsmanship and was sweating profusely.

Chu Ping sat upright, looking at the ground, "Your Majesty, I have interrogated Li Jingbo again, and called other members of the Lu family to question. It is indeed only his words, and no other people are involved."

Liu Fu was stretching out his hand to fan his face. Hearing the words, he slapped a little slower, and said slowly: "This Li Jingbo has a master-servant relationship with the Lu family. If he intends to protect the Lu family and the Lu family denies it, how about it?"

"Judging from what I have found out, this matter does not involve anyone else." After Chu Ping finished speaking, seeing Liu Fu still staring at him, he could only hesitate and said, "Then what does your majesty think should be done?"

Liu Fu smiled, "You are Tingwei Zuojian. Do you want me to teach you how to tell people the truth?"

Chu Ping opened his mouth and seemed to hesitate to speak, but he still said after a long while: "Yes."

More than ten days later, Chu Pingfu came to see him, and Zhao Duo fetched a mat. Before he could sit down, Liu Fu asked, "Chu Zuojian, how is it this time?"

He obviously had no patience, but Chu Ping's answer this time was still the same as before, "Your Majesty, I have found out that Li Jingbo's words were not instigated by anyone else."

Liu Fu's left hand kept rubbing the fingers of his right hand, he sighed, and only said four short words: "You can check again." After speaking, he was about to get up.

But Chu Ping knelt down and said, "How many times does the king ask the minister to check again, and the minister's answer is always the same." He paused, and finally made up his mind, raised his head and looked directly at Liu Fu, "Your Majesty knows The intention is to order the minister to use this matter to involve the Lu family. However, the minister is the court lieutenant and the left supervisor, and he should resolve the case impartially, so that the superior will not fail the king and the subordinates will not fail the people, and the former will be worthy of the ancestors. The queen is worthy of his descendants. The minister is famous for his righteousness, and the divine way is difficult to deceive. The king wants to make the minister implicate the innocent, the party traps the common people, and the envoy loses his integrity. also."

Liu Fu stared at him silently, and Chu Ping looked back without fear.This young face was tightly set, as if it had just been chiseled out of a stone slab. Looking into his eyes, Liu Fu understood that the person in front of him, even if he was relegated, dismissed from office, or even axed If you threaten him, he will not change. Except for the "Tao" in his heart, there is nothing that will make him fear, not even himself.Liu Fu looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, stood up and supported Chu Ping, and said to him, "Qing is a noble man, and it is my father's name not to fall."

Chu Ping stood up, with gratitude flashing in his eyes, but Liu Fu changed the subject, "I have other concerns about this case, Chu Aiqing doesn't need to ask any more questions, and go back to the court."

Chu Ping's expression changed, and he wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Fu had already turned around, leaving only his back, which meant to chase away the guest.Chu Ping couldn't help it, and after all he didn't fight anymore, so he bowed and resigned immediately.

Liu Fu turned around, watched him leave, remained silent for a moment, and said to the left and right: "Zhao Tingwei Zuo Ping and Chen Zhiji come to see me."

Chen Zhiji is a smart man, and he is the only one who follows the lead. Liu Fu can't use Chu Ping in this matter, but there are still many people in the Ting Wei Department.He didn't say much to Chen Zhiji, Chen Zhiji already understood, went back and pretended to interrogate, and returned to Liu Fu the next day, knelt down and said: "Lu's family slaves report, and Lu's gang often sit and discuss , During the banquet, he had quite a bad word for the king, and he might have the ambition to be disrespectful."

"It's really abominable!" Liu Fu scolded at the table, but looked at Chen Zhiji, "With a family that is declining day by day, how dare you have the courage to usurp things? Chen Zuoping, you go back and have a good trial .”

Chen Zhiji didn't expect that he would be sent back for retrial just like Chu Ping, he was taken aback for a moment, then understood Liu Fu's meaning, and knocked down: "I will resign."

Three days later, he came to see him again, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, I have found out that this matter was not done by the Lu family. Gou Lian. The great clans are powerful, and the king must guard against them. If you ignore them, you may become a trouble in your heart!"

Liu Fu nodded, his eyes moved slightly, "How should these people be dealt with according to the law?"

Chen Zhiji looked at Liu Fu's face, and said slowly: "According to the law, the leader should be sentenced to death, and the rest of them will be exiled to the border areas, and their ancestors will not be allowed to return to Chang'an for generations."

Liu Fu got up, walked in front of Chen Zhiji, bent down to help him up, put his right hand on his shoulder, looked at him and said, "There are many people involved in this case, so don't let any one out—that's all, I won't say any more , Aiqing is a smart person and should know what to do. After this case, Aiqing should have the merit of protecting the country."

With fiery eyes, Chen Zhiji lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

With Liu Fu's authority over the ministers, it is natural that whoever he wants to rebel will commit the crime of treason.But even though he is King Yong, he can't do whatever he wants.In the former, he had a bad nose at Chu Ping, but after changing generals, it still couldn't be smooth sailing.Under his instruction, Chen Zhiji imprisoned more than a thousand people from various clans. They all knew that, in fact, every sentence was directed at Liu Fu.

Censor Zhongcheng was the first to attack: "Your Majesty, the one who did not speak poorly was the Li family alone. Ting Wei Zuo Ping chased after him and implicated more than a thousand people. This has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China, causing the people to resent and fear. I think that Zuo Ping's crime should be punished." to comfort the people."

Liu Fu was puzzled and said, "The whole family of the Lu family has usurped and rebelled, how can it be said that Li Jingbo is the only one?"

"The cause of this incident was the conflict between the generals of the Hundred Households and the Lu family over the estate. Li Jingbo, the manager of the Lu family, uttered lies. It was disrespectful. What did he have to do with others? How can you say that the family rebelled?"

"There was an officer in the Lu family who uttered wild words, and then let his family members beat the court officials, and refused to return the court fiefs. Such a lack of law, is it not treason?"

"The generals of a hundred households ask for land and houses privately. They are not imperial envoys. Lu's refusal to pay them cannot be regarded as disobedience to the imperial court. Besides, a hundred households are in the sixth rank, how can they be regarded as high officials of the imperial court?"

"Can a sixth-rank official be beaten by others? Yushi Zhongcheng has such a high vision." Liu Fu smiled coldly, "But I knew this earlier, where is the general Fuguo?"

One person came out and said: "The minister is here!"

The courtiers were puzzled, there had never been such an official position in the court, and they didn't know where the general of the auxiliary country came from, so they all looked at him intently.Yu Shi Zhongcheng also turned his gaze away like everyone else, and when he saw the person clearly, he was almost so angry that his head was smoking—isn't this the new Fuguo General, Liu Yizhi!

Seeing that because of this case, Liu Yizhi changed from a sixth-rank official to a third-rank official, the censor Zhongcheng was trembling with anger, and was about to speak, but the doctor of the censor, Chu Yuyuan, held him down, and came out and said, "I don't know the king. Can I discuss with the Prime Minister about the appointment of Fuguo General?"

"The prime minister is far away in Luoyang. If everything is discussed with him, will the court do anything?" Liu Fu straightened his mustache, "Besides, the prime minister only has the right to appoint and dismiss officials of the fourth rank and below. I will appoint a third rank general. It has nothing to do with the prime minister."

Chu Yuyuan retorted: "What contribution did Liu Yizhi make to the country to receive such a high position? The heroes of the world, following the king to fight in all directions, all desire the merits of size as the foundation of their lives. Although he has experienced many battles and pledged himself to the country, There are those who are worried about the subordinates. For this reason, the king will make him useless and take the high position, fearing that he will lose the hope of the world." He was obviously very angry, and even ignored Liu Yizhi as an official in the same dynasty, and called him by his first name , "Although Kuang's courtiers are above the fourth rank, they should take the prime minister to advance and stop. The king's private appointment of Liu Yi as a general of the auxiliary country is like an oblique ink seal, which is difficult to satisfy the expectations of all ministers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers among the courtiers. Liu Yizhi knelt on the ground and listened to everyone's discussion. The superior is appointed as a relative, and serves as a minister in the same palace as the doctor. The doctor despises me, but where does he put the king?"

But Chu Yuyuan sternly reprimanded: "I'm talking to the king, what have I to do with Shuzi!"

Liu Yizhi was so intimidated by his stern scolding that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he looked at Liu Fu timidly, expecting him to speak for him.

Liu Fu backed down a step, "It is an unforgivable crime to beat an official ordered by the court; but gathering a crowd to commit rebellion is an unforgivable crime."

He took a step back, thinking that the other party would give him some face and take a step back, but unexpectedly, Chu Yuyuan did not retreat but advanced, saying: "The matter of rebellion, I think it still needs to be discussed. Please forgive me for speaking: if you want to make a big deal, it must be kept secret." , Is there anyone who can hook up with thousands of people and succeed?"

"That's why they were discovered." Liu Fushun said.

"If you are planning a big event, you will have too many thousand people; if you are planning a big event, you will have too few thousand people. This is common sense. The theory of conspiracy may not hold water."

Chu Yuyuan's entanglement made Liu Fu feel deeply irritated. He let out a breath and said in a flat voice, "Is it a lie that the Tingwei found out? Doctor Yushi is in charge of supervision, why don't I know, Ai Qing When did you learn how to judge cases?"

Chu Yuyuan was speechless, but he saw Chu Ping stepping forward and said: "Wang Shang Mingjian, I was ordered to try this case for the third time, and I have never found any evidence of treason in the Lu family, what's more about the rest of the clan? I ask Zuo Ping to go to the trial." The circumstances of the case, the confessions of the people, whether there was torture, etc., shall be made public.”

If it weren't for them being against him, Liu Fu would have been moved by the spirit of the two of them.Liu Fu's index finger kept tapping on the table, making a muffled sound of "da da da". He looked at the father and son, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are all smart people, what I think in my heart, you must They are all clear. These big families are hereditary, and their family history is longer than the history of the country. They have been in the eyes of no one for a long time. They boast that they have the legacy of the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin. None of you said it, and all of you turned a blind eye!"

"Your Majesty!" Chu Yuyuan knelt down and said with his head on the ground, "Speak carefully!"

"Hmph!" Liu Fu sneered, unmoved, and continued, "But you never thought that I, Liu Fu, are the ones they look down on? Is it our Liu clan? Am I fighting the injustice myself? No, what they look down on is me, King Yong! It's my court of Dayong—" He paused, and a cold smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth, "It's my 20 elite soldiers!"

"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!"

The courtiers knelt down one after another.

Only Kuai Mao stood alone. He stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

As soon as this remark came out, the court suddenly fell silent, and the ministers all looked at him in fear or admiration.

Liu Fu's eyes darkened slightly, with a half-smile, "What advice does Dr. Kuai have for you?"

"Since ancient times, soldiers have been the guards of the people. I have never heard of anyone who wants to add soldiers to the people to become a king. People serve for the purpose of state affairs, in order to protect the country and the people. Yan! Today, the king wants to harm his people in a moment of anger, so that the people will not attach themselves to me. This is the way to bring disaster. Under the circumstances, the people are easy to abuse, and the sky is hard to bully. If you blame the sky, you have nothing to pray for!"

Liu Fu's face turned blue, and most of the courtiers lowered their heads, but Kuai Mao turned a blind eye, and said frankly: "The king is not worried about the death of the country and the unrest in the world, but he is worried about fools' disrespect and loss of face. The minister is not the king. Take it. If the people are safe and secure, and the hearts of the people are against each other, if someone speaks out again and insults the king, the people will rise up and attack him, so why should the king make trouble? Therefore, for the present plan, the king should cultivate virtue to subdue the people However, if we create large-scale unjust prisons and force them to coerce us, we will be in the opposite direction.”

Liu Fu stood up abruptly, and pressed his left hand on the sword, as if he was about to attack in the next moment.At this time, although there was no sound in the hall, it was already in a state of tension.Liu Fu watched him for a long time, and finally sat down slowly.

He wanted to use this matter to implicate the big clan, not just because he was underestimated, but because he had deeper considerations.From the matter of getting married, it can be seen that although the big family is no longer prosperous, its roots are still deep. If they are connected with each other, it will really be his elbow and armpits.He wanted to take advantage of this to make a sudden attack, hurt their vitality, and make it impossible to compete with the court in the future, but the fierce reaction of the officials today showed him that his thinking was too simple and his actions were too reckless. It seems that this matter Things can't be rushed for a while, so take it slowly.

"Your words are reasonable." Liu Fu said with a light smile, "Since that's the case, this case will no longer implicate Cui, Li and other big families. It's just that I will never let the Lu family let go. Send me an order to kill Li Jingbo for the crime of treason." With the head of the Lu family, the rest of the Lu family will be exiled for three hundred miles, and their descendants will never be allowed to enter the court as officials."

"This matter has been decided, and no further discussion is allowed in the future."

After saying that, he looked around at the ministers and left in a huff.
