Chapter 130 Responsibility, Han Lu Zhuchuan
Feng Shiyu quietly left a word and walked to the position of the third division official.
Only Wugang King Zhu Xianhuai was left frowning.
This Feng Shiyu is really too petty.
Zhang Chucheng has been dead for less than half a year, why is he still so brooding, stern and harsh?
How come when the imperial envoy came, he didn't see you tell the whole story and let King Dong'an take it down earlier for comfort?
To show off your face now is simply the behavior of a villain!
Furthermore, when doing things on your own, you always have to pay attention to what you need.
Feng Shiyu wanted to expose the scandal of the Zhu family, but he just got rid of the black sheep of King Dong'an.
This is something that everyone is happy with, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
It's a joke that you can't survive because of your own misfortune!
What crime did he commit? Zhang Chucheng came to Huguang to patrol, he was fair and aboveboard, why didn't people mention it?
The king of Dong'an is crazy and commits a major crime. What does it have to do with him?
Not only did he not commit a crime, he even made great contributions!
During these days, he secretly helped the imperial envoy to stabilize the situation. Not only did he persuade Jing Fan to surrender in advance at the critical moment when the lord of Jing Fan committed suicide, but he also repeatedly provided evidence of the lawlessness of King Min and King Dong'an.
If not, how could the imperial envoy handle the case so smoothly?
Not to mention the officials in Huguang who are looking forward to an early conclusion of the case, even the imperial envoys who want to return to Beijing for missions, all have to accept this sentiment!
This is called staying out of trouble, this is called everyone getting what they need!
It's clean and tidy, and I'm not afraid of settling the scores later.
Moreover, as soon as the imperial edict arrives, these matters should be concluded, and the imperial envoy must return the talisman and keep the sealed letter.
If there were no so-called imperial envoy angels in the Huguang territory, what would a mere Feng Shiyu's hostility do to him?
Thinking like this, the officials present already greeted the angel, saluted and greeted the saint.
"How do you say hello to Your Majesty?"
"How do you say hello to Your Majesty?"
It is now noon, when the sun is at its most scorching.
There was only a patch of shade directly below the gate of the governor's office, so the officials who were saluting at the foot of the steps would not be able to enjoy it.
They were all so blinded by the light that they could not open their eyes. They were dripping with sweat and bowed, looking extremely respectful.
Zhu Xianhuai quickly calmed down and followed with a pause: "How do you greet your Majesty?"
Eunuch Wei Chao, the Superintendent of Ceremonies and Eunuch Bingbi, took in the expressions of everyone present and said calmly: "Saint Gong's peace."
After saying that, he immediately changed his face and smiled.
"Your Majesty also asked our family to tell you that at the turn of summer and autumn, you are prone to wind and cold, so please pay attention to your health."
All the clan officials once again thanked the Holy Father.
After a while of greetings, Liang Menglong stepped forward and said: "Angel, the incense table has been prepared in the Yamen. Please invite the angel to come in and announce the decree."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and invited a group of angels to come in.
The threshold of the yamen gate had been removed as early as this morning, and the door was open, respectfully welcoming distinguished guests.
Wei Chao nodded and walked at the front as a matter of course.
Liang Menglong and King Wugang followed, and a group of officials and relatives followed cautiously behind.
Wei Chao looked around, and then looked at Liang Menglong inadvertently: "Governor Liang is really talented. He can manage shipping in Shandong, and he can control civil unrest when patrolling Henan. Now he is in charge of Huguang, and in just over a month, he has solved a major case. This is really impressive for us."
Everyone admires me."
When you go out on errands and can get close to the ministers, the ministers will naturally not miss it.
After all, Governor Liang was famous on the emperor's screen, a disciple of his first assistant, and recommended by his second assistant. He was a promising figure.
After hearing this, Liang Menglong just smiled reluctantly, cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "The angel is so complimentary."
He looked businesslike, obviously not wanting to pay too much attention to the eunuch.
The Wei Dynasty didn't mind either. He immediately looked at King Wugang and said with some regret: "Your Highness, this time the imperial envoy visited Huguang, but unexpectedly so many clans were involved in misdeeds. Your Majesty is very worried."
Zhu Xianhuai heard Xian's intention and understood that this was a test of his position.
He immediately sighed and expressed his position without leaving any trace: "In the 43rd year of Jiajing period, I went to the emperor to ask for the establishment of a sect, but I saw that there were too many lawless people in the clan!"
"It's not too late to remedy the situation. This imperial envoy's inspection has eliminated these bad apples, which is for the long-term plan of the vassal."
"For example, if the imperial envoy brings King Dong'an to justice and sends him to the capital, everyone in the Chu vassal will be overjoyed. Eunuch Wei must advise your majesty to relax and not worry."
Since His Majesty has said that the clan members involved in the case have committed evil acts, it is natural that those princes should seek death in a rightful manner.
Not only that, but I, Chu Fan, have the unshirkable responsibility to calm people's hearts afterwards - who allowed Your Majesty to be so discerning and allow me to take charge of Chu Fan?
Wei Chao nodded with satisfaction.
If the King of Wugang doesn't cooperate and has to wait for Wu Jinghe to pick someone obedient again, it will be a waste of time.
Zhu Xianhuai observed the words and expressions and saw that Wei Chao's reaction was not bad.
He paused and then spoke to test: "The matter of King Chu's death has caused quite a stir. If we don't find out as soon as possible, it will be difficult to determine the heir. I wonder if your majesty can make a decision this time?"
This matter has not been settled, and my heart is always hanging on it.
It would take several posthumous sons to be involved before Chu Fan could have no choice but to transfer his direct descendants!
After Wei Chao heard this, he looked at Zhu Xianhuai and smiled without saying a word, and did not answer.
Zhu Xianhuai was slightly dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do.
The group of people soon arrived at the lobby of the governor's Yamen.
I saw a table of incense placed quietly in the lobby.
Li Zaiting faced the incense table, inserted three pillars of incense into the incense burner, and placed them in the middle of the incense table.
Light the incense.
On the left side of the incense burner is the imperial envoy's talisman, and on the right is the imperial envoy's seal.
After the mission is over, it is time to return the talisman festival.
So it doesn't matter if Hai Rui and Wu Jinghe can't come, they can just leave the matter and cancel their registration.
Wei Chao stood still and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop.
He walked slowly to Li Zaiting and said, "Li is in trouble."
Li Zaiting turned around, nodded and said: "Eunuch Wei, according to the system, the officials are ordered to deal with the matters by imperial envoys. After the matters are completed, they will be canceled, the seals will be returned, and the letters will be sealed."
The various departments were ordered to deal with the matters and they would be canceled every five days. However, the imperial envoys would slow down the inspection and all the matters would be canceled after they were completed.
In the latter case, either the imperial envoy must return to Beijing to return the Talisman in person, and the court will slowly figure out how to deal with it; or, as is the case now, the imperial court's decision to deal with all matters has already arrived, so it must first return the Talisman Festival and return to Beijing to report on its duties.
These are custom-made to prevent angels from misbehaving outside of this scope after completing their royal orders.
Wei Chao said warmly: "Li is tired from work."
After saying that, he waved and asked the four accompanying officials to come forward with wooden boxes to seal the talismans on the incense table and store them in envelopes.
The deputy envoy took out the emperor's imperial decree and waited aside, preparing to announce the decree.
Just as Wei Chao reached for the talisman on the incense table, Li Zaiting suddenly held Wei Chao's hand again.
Wei Chao turned around in confusion.
Li Zaiting had no expression on his face: "Eunuch Wei, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Officials are entrusted with the imperial mission to deal with matters, and they will be canceled after the matter is completed, but..."
"There is still one unfinished matter."
He ignored everyone's surprised looks and raised his head to look at King Wugang: "King Zhu Xianhuai of Wugang restrained Zongyi, exploited the palace family members, put them to death, raped the concubine, and committed crimes."
"When the King of Chu died, he also stole the precious treasures hidden by his ancestors."
"He also colluded with the King of Dong'an. In order to cover up the scandal of the Chu vassal, he plotted to assassinate Zhang Chucheng. He secretly sent his father-in-law Wu Jian, the commander of the Wuchang Health Department, to steal the governor's seal, falsely pass on his life, and commit great treason."
"He deserves to be imprisoned and the cause of his crime will be proven."
The words just fell.
Everyone was subconsciously confused.
What do you mean? Isn’t everything settled? Why are you still here!?
The officials in Huguang had cooperated with these imperial envoys before because Liang Menglong had personally promised that he would not pursue those in the officialdom and would let the imperial envoys leave as soon as possible.
Now that the imperial edict has arrived and the case is about to be closed, you, Li Zaiting, told me that you are still going to cause trouble?
Doesn’t what I said before count?
When they thought of this, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but change their expressions.
If you find a reason to pursue the case against King Wugang today and don’t close it, will the official officials also continue to pursue it in the future?
Okay, co-authoring is to break it down one by one, right?
Liang Menglong's expression was even more ugly.
I didn't take this matter lightly with him. Isn't this a joke on his official reputation?
Zhu Xianhuai was even more shocked.
Damn it, why was it suddenly targeted?
He didn't have time to think, and became furious on the spot: "You are so slanderous! Li Zaiting, what benefits did you receive from King Dong'an in private? You are falsely accusing me like this!"
He had only been in charge of the Chu vassal for a short period of time before he was ignored by King Dong'an. How could he restrain Zongyi and exploit the palace family members?
As for the purpose of stealing the treasures, he concluded that no one could know!
Not to mention colluding with King Dong'an to assassinate Zhang Chucheng and instigating his father-in-law to steal the seal. It's all a lie!
This Li Zaiting is simply losing his mind and going crazy!
"That's why we have to examine this matter."
Li Zaiting did not argue with him. He met the eyes of his superior, eunuch Wei Chao, the eunuch Bingbi, and said seriously: "Eunuch Wei, can you wait for two days?"
With the Talisman back, he no longer has the right to act arbitrarily.
The imperial edict granted a reward to the King of Wugang, but it could not be changed overnight.
No matter from which aspect, Li Zaiting could only ask Wei Chao to wait first.
But, that's what he thought, but everyone in Huguang had long been looking forward to their departure.
The officials really couldn't bear it anymore.
Before the Wei Dynasty opened his mouth, Huguang Deputy Envoy Ma Guze frowned and said: "Your Majesty's Holy Judgment of Virtue, how can we be allowed to act rashly?"
It was naturally necessary to carry out the emperor.
Li Zaiting acted in his own way, completely ignoring the emperor and the central government.
Wang Shugao couldn't help but said: "In the matter of Li Ge, we also know that the imperial envoy has a high and powerful position and it is difficult to give up, but we cannot use this to linger around."
This statement directly refers to the obsession with power.
You and I said each other, and it was obvious that we could no longer accept the imperial envoy to linger here.
Everyone looked at Liang Menglong: "Liang Butang, do you think so?"
Liang Menglong suddenly felt a headache.
He really didn't know what Li Zaiting was causing.
Almost done.
Everyone had agreed before that we would stop here, but now we are looking like we want to get to the bottom of it.
If you go back on your word like this, you can just pat your butt and return to Beijing. How will Liang Menglong work with his colleagues in Huguang in the future?
The more King Wugang thought about this matter, the more uneasy he became.
He did not wait for Li Zaiting to speak further, walked quickly to Wei Chao, and said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Wei, let's announce the decree. You are still waiting to hear His Majesty's words and holy wishes."
Wei Chao was also in a dilemma. He looked at each other and Liang Menglong looked helpless.
After thinking about it, the former approached Li Zaiting and whispered: "Li is in trouble...The imperial court has awarded the King of Wugang this time, saying that it will use it to stabilize the Huguang clan."
The words were almost pleading, but their meaning was firm.
It was impossible for him to follow Li Zaiting's wishes and jail the person the central government wanted to reward.
Is it a joke? Secondly, if his errand person did this, he was deliberately slapping the emperor in the face!
So he had no choice but to find out quietly.
Although the voice is small, it can't hold everyone's attention here.
Especially King Wugang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this is a sure thing.
After this incident, many of the sects in Huguang were in panic. No matter what the central government planned to do, some consolation would inevitably be needed in the future to smooth the transition.
Now, apart from Zhu Xianhuai, there is no one else in the clan who has the power to calm the situation.
As long as there is a normal person in the center, it is impossible not to win over him, or use him in other words.
Of course, having said that, anyone who encounters such unexpected twists and turns should be wary.
What if these people rely on the sky to make the emperor far more lawless?
Fortunately, this eunuch was able to handle things clearly and did not follow Li Zaiting's other misdeeds.
In the Wei Dynasty, Li confessed to Li in court: "If you have any concerns about Li's affairs, you might as well talk about it after returning to Beijing. Let's seal the talisman back first."
There is no way, the emperor's favorites are the emperor's favorites, but you can't ruin your mission just to curry favor.
Is there any reason why the imperial edict should not be promulgated? How can there be any reason for Li Zaiting to imprison the person whom the imperial edict wants to reward?
Do you still want to be the eunuch Bingbi, the ceremonial supervisor?
After saying that, he stood in front of the incense table, waved his hand, and asked the deputy envoy to give the order.
Zhu Xianhuai and the Huguang officials tacitly ignored Li Zaiting, stood at the incense table, and bowed to wait.
The Wei Dynasty was about to launch the imperial edict, and the officials also bowed their heads and prepared to bow.
Just then.
Without warning.
Li Zaiting suddenly reached out his hand in front of Wei Chao, blocking most of Wei Chao's sight.
The latter's eyes were dazzled because Li Zaiting had taken the imperial edict so lightly into his hands!
The Wei Dynasty was panic-stricken and speechless.
Everyone was stunned.
"Li Zaiting!"
"In Li Ge's case, you blasphemed the edict, what do you want to do!"
Liang Menglong was also shocked by Li Zaiting's actions.
He looked at Li Zaiting, who was busy reading the imperial edict, and comforted him: "Li is in trouble..."
King Wugang opened his mouth slightly and looked at Li Zaiting in panic.
Why is this so!
Why did he offend this guy? He was so angry! He acted so arbitrarily and without any cover!
And what method is used to snatch the imperial edict?
Li Zaiting was already prepared. He interrupted Liang Menglong and looked around at everyone.
Finally, he looked at the Wei Dynasty and said sincerely: "Six subjects, all the imperial edicts are announced and implemented, major matters are reviewed and minor matters are announced, and if there are any mistakes, they will be returned to the imperial examination."
"My officials, residents, and officials are all in charge of matters. It is my duty to rectify all violations and mistakes made by internal and external regulations."
"Eunuch Wei, this decree..."
"X, rejected."
Everyone was speechless.
Li Zaiting looked at Liang Menglong again and said seriously: "Put King Wugang in prison. When the evidence of his crime is confirmed, I will send him to the capital."
He was afraid that Liang Menglong wouldn't understand what he said.
After thinking about it, he added meaningfully: "As soon as possible."
After saying that, Li Zaiting carried the imperial edict, put the talisman and seal on the incense table into his sleeve, and left straight away.
Chapter completed!
