Liu Cong likes to eat meat, and I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement or something else, but today’s meal was only half a roast lamb!
The lamb on the tray was still leaking oil, and the entire side hall was filled with the smell of meat. Liao Li swallowed involuntarily, and said to Liu Cong, "According to the laws of Dachu, those who pass the imperial examination must meet with officials."
If you don’t bow, you can call yourself a minister, and I will act in accordance with the king’s orders.”
Liu Cong ignored him and just tore off a leg of mutton and began to eat it. Seeing this, Liao Li continued, "Of course, my official position, glory and wealth, as well as the glory before and after me, all depend on the king."
Your Majesty, even my life is within the King’s thoughts.”
Liu Cong chewed and said, "You are smart enough to know how to say such nice things to Gu, is there anything else?"
Liao Li thought for a while and continued, "I am guilty and should not be on the test paper."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Cong, "You criticized the government and slandered Gu's government decrees and Da Chu's diplomatic style on the test paper, but you didn't care about Gu's face at all."
"thump!"
Liao Li immediately kowtowed repeatedly, causing the floor to be knocked loudly, "I was in a daze for a moment, and tried to raise my own worth through arrogant words. I am guilty, and I ask the king to punish me."
"Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Although the king was angry, he only beat me once and did not remove me completely from this scientific examination. He should not punish me again. Now, I should sincerely admit my mistake to the king, and this matter will be over.
Already."
Thinking about it, Liao Li continued, "I slander the ministers and criticize the government. The most hateful thing is that I dare to damage the reputation of the king. This crime is unforgivable!"
"Well said, drag him out and behead him!"
"ah?"
Not only Liao Li was confused, but Wang Gong, who was standing next to Liu Cong, was also confused. According to the normal script, shouldn't the king say that he forgives Liao Li Yunyun at this time, and then beat and encourage him to completely subdue him?
say-app&——
Duan Kun led Jin Yiwei's men in and escorted Liao Li outside directly. Liao Li seemed to be frightened. He stood there blankly and allowed the Jin Yiwei men to escort him out without saying a word.
Xing Daorong outside the palace spat into his palm and pulled out his sword, "How brave, how dare you insult the king!"
"Qiang!"
As if he felt that the sword was not sharp enough, Xing Daorong took the sword back again and took a simple knife from the soldier on the side!
"Kneel down!"
Xing Daorong put the knife on Liao Li's shoulder, "What a good head. In the next life, you will have a brighter look and don't dare to say anything."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have a good strategy for governing the country and a strategy to destroy Wei and Shu. Please give it to your Majesty. Your Majesty, spare your life!" Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Liao Li finally panicked and shouted towards the main hall.
.
"Execution!"
"Your Majesty! I know my mistake! I will no longer dare to do anything that harms the King or the great Chu. From now on, I am willing to be the King's eagle dog. The King tells me to go east, but I will never dare to go there.
West!"
"General Xing, please leave someone behind. Your Majesty will ask him to come in." Wang Gong stood at the door of the palace at the right time.
Xing Daorong threw the knife to the soldiers beside him and kicked Liao Li on the still painful butt, "Get in, it's a pity that I couldn't chop you with one knife!"
Liao Li ignored the pain in his butt, staggered up and ran towards the palace. After entering, he knelt down directly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!"
Liu Cong looked up at him and tore off a mutton chop. "I don't like being used by others, and I don't like being used in this way. If something like this happens again in the future, you can take it upon yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Cong continued, "After reading your strategy alone, we can indeed gain some benefits by sending troops at this time, but according to Gu Yougu's plan, it is not the time to send troops yet. As for your good strategy for governing the country, if it really matches your test paper,
I wrote the same thing: I feel that it is not appropriate to coerce the family, and I feel that Chu's use of troops abroad will damage the reputation of the Kingdom of Heaven, so there is no need to say more, just get up and go find Xing Daorong, he is still waiting outside."
Liao Li cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I was confused at the time. Now it seems that your Majesty's decree is in line with the development of our country, and it is a good policy that strives for the well-being of the people. I am willing to serve under your Majesty's command."
As a county magistrate, I can do my best for the people and our country."
Liu Cong pointed at him with the gnawed mutton chop, "County magistrate? With your talent, being a county magistrate would be too unfair to you?"
"My heart is for my great Chu, and my heart is for the king. I will never dare to complain at all."
Liu Cong chuckled and said, "That's right. Write something interesting. You'll be better off. You'll be better off alone. The feeling of having a knife on your neck is not pleasant."
As he spoke, Liu Cong knocked the lamb carcass on the plate with a bone, "Just like this lamb, you are the same. In the eyes of the lonely, you are a lamb to be slaughtered at any time. Sometimes, this person can't be too careful.
You take it seriously, don’t you think?”
Say, welcome to download -
Liao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the king's sage illuminates the candle and speaks with golden words. I have learned from you."
"Wang Gong, please give him a seat. He has been kneeling for a long time."
"promise."
Liu Cong definitely did this on purpose. In this era, courtiers would sit upright when meeting the king. Even if they sat down calmly, Liao Li had just been beaten and would definitely not sit comfortably.
But at this time, Liao Li didn't dare to say anything more. Liu Cong was angry now, and he had to endure no matter how hard he beat him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sitting here."
After Wang Gong brought the futon, Liao Li reluctantly knelt down and sat on it. Liu Cong took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it, county magistrate. I understand your talent. If it is really for Da Chu and Gu, you will do things well in the future.
Don’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”
Liao Li boldly raised his hands and said, "I wonder what position the king plans to give me to Ren?"
"Go to the Yushitai and become a Yushidao first."
Liao Li looked a little disappointed, and Liu Cong continued, "Tomorrow, the Guhui will issue an edict to give Yushitai Fengwen the power to jointly hear cases with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and to allow Yushitai to set up its own prison.
From now on, as a royal censor, you must do your best, do you understand?"
Before the Tang Dynasty, the Yushitai only had the authority to hear reports and supervise officials. Now, Liu Cong gave these powers to the Yushitai. The Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment jointly tried cases. This is the Three Laws Council in later generations.
Trial!
pThe most important thing is that the previous Yushitai supervisory officials did not have the power to conduct in-depth investigations. Now, Liu Cong ordered the Yushitai to set up his own prison. The power of the Yushitai suddenly increased, and behind the officials, they were once again
One more constraint and eyeliner!
Liao Li is a smart man and naturally understands what this means, but his ambition does not end there. Even if Yushitai's power is increased, he is not the top leader. Liu Cong has made it clear that he treats him as a biting dog.
, but the matter has reached this point, and it is no longer up to him to choose.
His remarks offended almost all the civil and military officials in the Chu State, so he could only go one step closer to meritorious service by handling several major cases through the Yushitai, "I sincerely obey the king's teachings."
