Iron Armored Emperor

Mu Lian participated in half of the officials, and participated in the pillars of the Zuo family.

Your Majesty has ordered that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai will conduct a joint trial and conduct a thorough investigation.

The official department is temporarily suspended, waiting for the conclusion of the trial.

As a result, the government and the public were shaken, and everyone was in danger.

Mu Lian himself acted as if nothing had happened, stepped down from court, tugged at Marquis Ding's sleeve, and asked, "Master, are you going home for dinner?"

When Di Qiye heard the words, he fell in love with him, why did he go back to the palace and face Gu Lie who pretended to be deep without saying a word?It's only natural to go home for dinner.

So the master and apprentice discussed and decided that Di Qiye left the palace first, and Mu Lian entered the political affairs hall.

Gu Lie, who still didn't know that he was going to be alone tonight, asked the opinions of the three presiding judges, gave some advice on the joints, and finally, especially Zhu Beihe, who was in poor health recently, stayed to take care of him.

What Gu Lie meant was to let Lan Yanzhi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, take over as the presiding judge. It was not to take away Zhu Beihe's power, but to save Zhu Beihe from working hard during his illness. It would be even worse if he lost his health.In his previous life, Zhu Beihe had to resign for retirement because of a stubborn illness, and Gu Lie always remembered it.

But Zhu Beihe thinks that this case is of great importance, Lan Yanzhi is still a little immature after all, Zhu Beihe has taken Lan Yanzhi as his apprentice these years, he is afraid that Lan Yanzhi will not be handled properly, which is not in line with Gu Lie's wishes , and made enemies too early in the court, it can be said that he was well-considered.Zhu Beihe intends to personally lead Lan Yan's trial, which is safer.

Since Zhu Beihe persisted, it was inconvenient for Gu Lie to say more, lest he seemed to be urging the veteran to abdicate and chill the veteran's heart.

In fact, His Majesty had nothing to say to these veteran ministers, but now he sent the Marquis of Dingguo to deliver medicine, and specially ordered to care about him, which moved Zhu Beihe so much that his eyes were a little sore, and he said straightly: "In the case of Yuan Fei, I will definitely Handle it impartially and give His Majesty an explanation!"

The veterans of the founding of the country, including Gu Lie himself, except for Yan Fagu who was clamoring all day to go to the Qintian Prison for the elderly, all of them were hard-working.

Gu Lie shook his head and smiled: "In terms of business, I am very relieved, and I don't need to tell you anything."

Zhu Beihe was puzzled, could it be that there is something about his personal affairs that makes His Majesty worry?

Then I heard Gu Lie continue: "Zhao'er is growing up too, he admires Miss Zhu's family's reputation for being kind and elegant, and I don't know if Brother Zhu wants to get married with the widow."

I haven't heard this "Brother Zhu" for more than 20 years.In Zhu Beihe's heart, the past and the past are coming one after another, his mind is full of the magnificent scenes of fighting side by side with the young master in the past, and his blood is agitated in the old days.

But it's about the precious daughter, no matter how excited Zhu Beihe is, he still suppressed it: "Your Majesty treats the little girl favorably, I shouldn't refuse it, but this marriage is a big deal, this daughter is spoiled and spoiled, congenitally weak, I don't know if she is a good match for the prince ah!"

Zhu Beihe was not dissatisfied with the prince in any way, Gu Zhao's temperament and ability were one in a million, as the prince, all the officials watched him day by day, and they couldn't find any omissions or omissions.In the eyes of several of their veterans, Gu Zhao's behavior style is very similar to Gu Lie, which is very good.

Similarly, it is precisely because Gu Zhaogui is the crown prince that Zhu Beihe loves his daughter dearly. If her daughter becomes a crown princess, no matter how prosperous and rich she is, it will be as deep as the sea once she enters the palace.

But after all, it is impossible for the daughter not to marry. It is difficult to find such an excellent young man as Gu Zhao with a lantern. How the daughter will live in the future depends on the temperament and character of the husband.Even if Zhu's family was accused of being high-ranking in the future, for the sake of his daughter's happiness, Zhu Beihe would not be able to reject it outright for the sake of his reputation.

Therefore, what Zhu Beihe meant was that he had concerns, but it wasn't that he couldn't consider it.

Since you have thought about it, it is not a big problem.

Gu Lie is still very confident about the excellence of his own prince, even if Zhu Beihe intends to marry lowly, and Gu Zhao is here, Gu Lie really doesn't believe that Zhu Beihe can fall in love with another family's crooked melon and split dates.

So Gu Lie was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said: "Whether good or not, it depends on themselves. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't want to get involved. Another day, I will ask Gu Zhao to visit and let him come to you and say Go, brother Zhu, you will hold the eye yourself, if you don't like him, it's okay."

He intentionally said these words in a homely way, and he meant that he would not forcefully grant the marriage. I wish Beihe to settle down in his heart, and he really wanted to see what the prince meant, so he brought out the jokes he had in the army back then, and responded with a smile: "Your Majesty is too modest. When the crown prince comes to the door, the minister will naturally receive him well and will never make things difficult for him."

Both the monarch and his ministers laughed.

After laughing, I still have to get down to business, Zhu Beihe went back to Dali Temple, where Mu Lian and Minister of Criminal Affairs were waiting there.

Zhu Beihe bowed his hands to his two colleagues for many years: "The matter is of great importance. His Majesty is waiting for us to find out the results. Let's investigate without further ado."

The case was found to be complicated, but it wasn't that complicated. If it wasn't complicated, I'm afraid the extra visitors from Dali Temple would not accept it.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Chuan, was a talent from Shuzhou, and he was considered a solo fighter in the court. Because of his solo fight, he developed a full-bodied and exquisite wrist.And being exquisite in all directions means eating at both ends and not relying on both ends. In the end, no one's power is counted.

There were very few people who interceded for him, and most of them were low-level officials from Shuzhou. They did not believe that Chen Po really intended to dereliction of duty, and they stood up to speak to Chen Po for the sake of fellowship.

Zuo Chenglan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, he is from the Zuo family, and he has always shown himself to be gentle and refined, and there are many more people who intercede for him.

Even Di Qiye received Zuo Lang's personal letter.

It's just that Zuo Lang is still the upright Zuo Lang after all. His letter stated bluntly that he was forced by his family to write it. If Zuo Chenglan really violated the laws of the country, then he can do whatever he wants. Master, please don't worry.

Yuan Fei, the Daotai of Huainan, he has worked so hard for so long, but in the end, the people who speak for him are still a few classmates when he was studying, but they are all people who have not entered the officialdom, and their words have no weight.

To make matters worse, the local monks in Huainan made a fuss under the guise of reversing the case of Yuan Fei and the "good hearted empress".

What these monks are doing is not trivial, it is simply sensational.

Let's start with the stone temple that the lady who beat people to death loved most.

It is said that there was once an eminent monk in Huainan who sat down on a stone, and later generations built a stone temple on the spot to commemorate him.According to legend in the past, the stone temple, which sounds like a pure-hearted Buddhist temple, is already shining with gold and incense is flourishing. Among them, the lady who donated the most money to donate incense and golden Buddha is the eldest lady.

Most of the monks in the stone temple came here for refuge.One of them, the one who amuses the pilgrims the most, is called Haitong. He used to be a farmer. He said he was influenced by Buddhism. He took all his belongings and entered the stone temple to be ordained as a monk.

This Haitong, according to reason, should not be accepted in the stone temple. The Buddhism he learned is not correct, and his heart is extremely hostile. He considers himself a direct disciple of the Buddha. Those who look down on themselves are trampled on the soles of their feet, which is completely contrary to the compassionate Buddhadharma.

But the Miaozhu of the Stone Temple saw that Qian's eyes were open, and accepted such a chaotic demon.

After entering the stone temple, eating fast and reciting Buddha's name every day, perhaps he should repent and turn to goodness, but Monk Haitong became more and more obsessed with the myths of the gods, and misinterpreted all the Buddhist teachings that lead people to goodness according to his own mind.

Haitong secretly broke many precepts, and even used his own method to attract believers. He was naturally good at identifying those with bad tempers, and was also good at seducing those who were left out of the fringes. This is the lady.

The eldest lady spends money like water for Haitong, so Stone Temple naturally ignores their affairs.

Only when the scandal of Da Furen beating an innocent bride to death is revealed, Stone Temple realizes that there has been a disaster, and immediately turns against Haitong and wants to drive Haitong out of Stone Temple.

Haitong laughed loudly, and said arrogantly: "This is the opportunity for Haitong's great career!"

He led the believers who worshiped him as a god on weekdays to go to the capital with great fanfare. He fabricated a story about the government's persecution of Yuan Fei, persecution of the "good hearted lady" and persecution of Buddhism, and spread it to the people along the way.

Those people who lived a peaceful and good life naturally would not talk to him, but those idle and resentful village scoundrels, ignorant and obstinate village women and youths, who were persuaded by his three-inch tongue, unexpectedly Joined halfway.

When the new Huainan Daotai realized that something was wrong, Haitong had 300 followers.There is even a clear division of labor, and Haitong, the "Blessing Envoy of Bright Light", is served like a god or Buddha.

Haitong named the "good hearted empress" as the main palace, and there were more than ten empresses in the harem, and there were also generals and civil servants such as "General Earth Sword" and "Minister Tianxing".

This group of people hurried on their way, there was a special person playing the flute and sheng, and everyone followed Haitong's sedan chair five steps and knelt down, shouting "Master Haitong, be merciful and universal", "Cultivating Buddha is not bitter, Haitong will ascend to immortality" and so on. Waiting for slogans is more lively than troupes.Attracting people to watch, the more people watching, the more and more people will get into the set.

The new Huainan Daotai knew that this matter must be handled decisively, and he was also capable, so he immediately asked the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion to dispatch troops to wipe out these gangsters.

Those on the periphery who were not deeply involved in the drama, after all, were just ignorant but not stupid. When they saw officers and soldiers, they cried and cried to their mothers and surrendered.Those at the core who were bewildered by Haitong, especially those "mothers", "generals" and "ministers", in order to cover Haitong's escape, actually wanted to go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers, and raised a hoe to chop people's skulls. Nothing human.

As a result, in the final liquidation, all the lost people were arrested, except for Haitong.

The new Huainan Daotai handed over the person and the case to the yamen of Qingzhou magistrate. The magistrate of Qingzhou was anxious to get angry because of Yuan Fei's blind hospitality, and he was afraid of being dragged into the water. Border raids.

Haitong did not flee, he returned to Huainan from the mountain road, and even got into the prison on Huainan Road with the help of believers.

Haitong chopped off the head of the "Miss Kindness" alive, peeled off the flesh, and left a bloody skull. He said that the Buddha had manifested himself and knew the "Miss Kindness"'s grievances, so he turned the "Miss Kindness" into blood in prison. relic.

He used this blood relic to attract the remaining believers, created the "Tongtian Buddha's Mind Sect", and asked the believers to post the list of becoming immortals and joining the religion in various places in Huainan, and led a group of people to flee into the deep mountains and old forests.

This kind of evil and evil disasters escaped with great fanfare under their noses, and even had the intention of waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. Not to mention how this person deceived so many people into trusting him, but how many Haitong disciples have been mixed in by the low-level personnel of the Huainan Road Yamen , Just thinking about it scares Huainan Daotai enough.

Today he was just imprisoned for committing murder, but next time, he will have to kill him?Daotai of Huainan Road was almost scared to resign.

So, when the news was reported to Gu Lie's desk layer by layer, Gu Lie would laugh at these people.

It is nothing new to confuse people with false rumors under the banner of Buddhism and Taoism. One murder case is not enough, but a second murder case happened under the nose, and the second murder case still used such malicious and bloody methods. means.

The person who died was not a good person, so that’s all. The problem is that the news of this kind of horrific murder was not only suppressed, but also allowed to spread among the people.

These people, are they playing with Chu Jiangshan?
