The dignified imperial prime minister was as careless and irresponsible as an "official beetle". Li Shenfu's eyebrows trembled with anger and he wished he could give Li Ji a hard blow with his cane. "This matter has a great impact. Once Your Majesty plans to conduct a thorough investigation, countless families will be swept away. At that time, the entire Chang'an City's clans and nobles will blame each other, frame each other, frame up, etc., and it will be inevitable.
The miasma is so chaotic that you, the prime minister, are to blame!"
"I don't agree with what the prince said," Li Ji said after taking a sip of tea: "Shouldn't the person behind the scenes be the one to blame?"
Li Shenfu was speechless. Li Jipo sipped his teacup, with a smile on his face and sharp words: "Instigating, bewitching, and planning those noble clan members to attack Jingzhao Mansion. This is obviously a huge conspiracy, and there is a hint of rebellion. Suspect... I heard that some of these people
Many people visited your house before attacking Jingzhao Mansion, what do you think of this?"
The other party asked him "what do you think" as soon as he came up, and now he responded in full.
Li Shenfu solemnly said: "What does this have to do with me? Although I am older, I have always been kind to the younger generations. The boys are also willing to come to my house to play. As for what they are doing outside, they may not tell me."
"So the county king should support a thorough investigation. If the investigation is clear, the suspicion of the county king will naturally be cleared. Otherwise, everyone will think that the county king is plotting this matter secretly and instigating behind the scenes, which will damage your reputation. ah."
"But if the clan is destroyed and the nobles are turbulent, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country. How can we turn a blind eye and sit idly by? If we suffer injustice for this, we will admit it!"
"The prince of the county is indeed the emperor of the country. I am so humbled by his state of mind. He can hold the country and the country in his heart and worry about the country and the people. You should be the prime minister of me."
Li Shenfu was dissatisfied: "If you suspect that I am planning this, please make it clear. If you have any evidence, just show it. Why do you have to be so weird?"
Li Ji didn't answer and looked at the door: "The chamberlain is here, so please go and see him quickly."
A chamberlain stood at the door and did not dare to come in. Now the Chengtian Gate Tower was Li Ji's handsome tent, and any eunuch who dared to enter would be killed without mercy.
Li Shenfu stood up and walked out with a sullen face.
Li Ji looked at his back and asked loudly: "What do you think of the tea king? Do you want to send someone to deliver some to the house?"
"If you are a generous man, you might as well give him eight thousand catties. If you can't drink it, I can still give it away."
"You have to pay that much."
"No money!"
…
"I have an audience with Your Majesty!"
"Uncle, please excuse me and take your seat quickly. I'll serve you tea if you come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Shenfu smiled kindly and took a seat opposite Li Chengqian.
Li Yuanjia on the other side stood up to greet him: "I've met my uncle."
"It's Yuanjia. These days, many of the disciples in the clan are joining in the fun in the city and causing a lot of trouble. As Zong Zhengqing, you are working very hard." Li Yuanjia looked indifferent: "Hard work is not to mention, you are loyal to your duties and loyal to the king's affairs. That's all, I don't dare to slack off. Besides, the state has national laws and families have family rules. It doesn't matter if the children of the clan make mistakes. There are laws to follow, rules to follow, and rewards.
Punishment, praise and blame are treated equally, and there are punishments for each crime, and no one dares to refuse." Li Shenfu squinted his eyes, and raised his gray eyebrows slightly: "Emperor Gaozu's descendants are indeed the best among men, and Yuan Jia is as old as
He is not long but he is steady and capable, which makes it more and more obvious that the other disciples in the clan are incompetent. However, no matter how incompetent he is, he is still a member of the Li family. Even if he makes a mistake, he should be dealt with tactfully, whether it is national law or family rules, the rules established
The original intention is not to punish anyone, but to restrain and regulate
The most important thing for everyone's code of conduct is to avoid past mistakes and avoid future mistakes, so that they have the opportunity to change for the better." Li Yuanjia laughed: "Uncle Wang is so complimentary, how dare my nephew to call you 'excellent ability'? When I became the Zongzhengqing, I was just trying to catch a duck.
It’s just a matter of reluctance to put it on the shelves. I have been walking on thin ice these years, often afraid that I will do something irreparable because of my lack of ability. To teach the children of the clan, you must be a highly respected person like you, and mediocre people like me will never dare to do this.
Misleading people, so I can only act in accordance with the rules.
When doing it, we don’t seek merit, but we seek no faults.”
Li Chengqian sat there unmoved and listened to the exchange of words between the two, and drank tea slowly. Li Shenfu reminded Li Yuanjia a few words, and found that this nephew did not have much respect for his uncle due to his status as Zong Zhengqing, and did not respect his words.
He doesn't think he is completely "unteachable", but his meaning has been passed through these few times.
He made it clear to the emperor in a tactful way, so he stopped talking to Li Yuanjia and looked at the emperor. Li Chengqian then put down the tea cup and said slowly: "I already understand what my uncle meant and I agree with it. But the impact of this incident is bad.
The consequences will be serious and the dignity of the imperial court will be lost. If they cannot be severely punished to serve as a warning to others,
How can everyone follow suit in the future? Besides, the prince of Dongping County died in the chaos, and that was the direct bloodline of Emperor Taizu. How can I, the nominal patriarch, turn a blind eye and make the big thing a trivial matter?" "Li Daoli, your majesty, where are you talking to?
Give it to the old minister. The old minister will persuade him to give up the pursuit of responsibility. Li Jingshu gathered the clan. It is a serious crime for the noble sons to attack the Jingzhao Mansion. Since it is not easy to pursue the case even if the person is dead, why bother to implicate the clan of many generals?
Your Majesty has caused such a mess? If he dares to disobey the overall situation, the old minister will slap him!"
Li Chengqian smiled calmly, "If you slap me as a prince, you will slap me and you will be obedient and do not dare to resist. Is this showing the prestige of your clan in front of me?" "But this matter has something to do with Fang Jun. The Fang family and the Dongping County Prince's Mansion
Li Jingshu had always had a grudge, and now Li Jingshu died surrounded by Fang Jun. Fang Jun was afraid that someone would unjustly accuse him of revenge and assassinating the clan, so he insisted on a thorough investigation.
He is innocent, this request is reasonable and reasonable, and I can't refuse... How about uncle, go talk to Fang Jun? As long as he doesn't pursue it, I will be lenient and forgive these lawless and violent people."
Li Shenfu thought, do you want me to talk to Fang Jun?
Is that Bangchui someone who can have a good conversation?
There are also suspicions of being the mastermind behind it. After all, those clans and distinguished disciples who made trouble before the attack on the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Many people came out of your county prince's palace, left the palace on the front foot, and caused trouble on the back foot. The uncle is very suspicious... If it is the uncle
I just want to calm down the situation. Those who know know that you care for the younger generation and are highly respected. Those who don’t know may say that you are guilty and afraid lest something be found out.
." "Nonsense! Why would I get involved with them when I'm old? Who dares to say that it was me who instigated it? I broke his leg! Since there is a villain who wants to pour dirty water on me, I beg your Majesty to come down.
Somasaji Temple
A thorough investigation will be carried out, with veterans assisting me. Anyone who dares not to cooperate will be killed!"
Li Shenfu puffed his beard and glared, as if he had been wronged, and took the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation. However, he did not mention the "Three Laws Division", but suggested that Zongzheng Temple should be responsible for the thorough investigation.
He can rely on his seniority and his meritorious service to have great influence in the clan, but the officials of the "Three Laws Division" may not know who he is...
Li Chengqian said: "My uncle's blunt statement is reasonable, and I also think it should be so. What does King Han think?" Li Yuanjia shook his head: "Jingzhao Mansion is a court yamen, not a private residence of the clan. The yamen of Jingzhao Mansion has been attacked, and some people even robbed the account books and set fire to them.
Burning, this is no longer an internal issue within the clan, wait until tomorrow morning when the censor
Yan Guan's memorial will inevitably fly into the Taiji Palace like snowflakes. Only the three law departments can work together to conduct a thorough investigation to quell the public anger." Li Chengqian was embarrassed: "What King Han said makes sense... Just thinking about the excitement among the censor Yan Guan gives me a headache.
, these people are not afraid of being demoted, not afraid of punishment, and are not even afraid of death. I can’t afford to offend them. Alas, I’m like this
This emperor seems to be the supreme king and the lord of the world, but in fact he has little deterrence outside this palace." Li Shenfu was helpless, seeing that his majesty was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly and wanted to escalate the situation and involve more people,
He had no choice but to try his best to fight for it: "The old minister is telling you nonsense. His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and there are still many people who have complained about it. If you can use the Internet to
Chongqing's prosperity will definitely make people feel His Majesty's kindness and forgiveness, and I think it will win people's hearts. Otherwise, if the killing is too excessive, people who don't know the truth may misunderstand His Majesty's violence, viciousness, cruelty and coldness..." Li Chengqian smiled angrily and nodded.
: "Okay, okay, you are indeed your great-uncle who cares about me. Since you care about me so much, then my great-uncle will participate in this thorough investigation as a representative of the clan and find out the murderer who caused the death."
According to the law, those dandies who attack the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, ignore national laws, and despise the imperial power will be punished according to law, and no one can be spared."
"..."
Li Shenfu had a dark face and regretted it. The troublemakers were instigated and tacitly approved by him to attack Jingzhao Mansion, but he had to appear in front of those people as the chief judge. How did those people see him? He
The reason why he has huge influence within the clan is
It comes from his seniority, merits, and fair and generous behavior. Once these things are shaken, who will care about this old guy?
However, His Majesty's order cannot be disobeyed, so he can only agree with a sigh of relief: "As long as my body allows, I will go all out."
I had already made up my mind to stay in bed and pretend to be sick until the thorough investigation began. When will this matter pass and when will I be cured... The matter has been decided, Li Shenfu said goodbye and returned home to prepare for illness, while Li Yuanjia returned to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to read out
His Majesty issued an order: "All persons will be detained in Jingzhao Mansion Prison without release, redemption, or visitation until further notice."
We will make a decision after tomorrow morning."
Immediately, a group of frightened dandies cried for their fathers and mothers and were taken to prison. The Youjinwu guards continued to surround the Jingzhao Mansion, blocking out the visitors from each family and not allowing them to visit.
Many people stood outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and were very worried. Some people suggested: "The cause of this incident lies with the Prince of Xiangyi County. He can't just let it go now, right? Let's go to the Prince of Xiangyi County's Mansion to get an explanation."
"That's right. If he hadn't been the instigator, how could he have gotten to this point? He would have to find a way to release the person. It would be a serious matter if he was tried by the Tribunal of Justice."
"Let's go together, let's go together!" Who hasn't done something dirty and dirty with privacy? These dandies may not even be able to hold on to a stick of incense under the three trees. What if the bamboo tube pours beans and ruins everyone's privacy?
