The cause of the matter still stems from the dispute over the establishment of the crown prince a year ago. At that time, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others all insisted that the eldest son should be established, and believed that abolishing the eldest son and establishing a younger son was the way to cause chaos, and
Because of Liu Bang's cowardly performance in Lujiang, he was unanimously opposed by the generals. Of course, this was also what Liu Xin meant. They argued about this matter for a long time, and finally Liu Xin had to adopt a compromise method and let Liu Bang
He was temporarily appointed as the Eastern Lieutenant of Chang'an to test his abilities.
Because Chang'an is so big, there are four county lieutenants in total, who jointly maintain public security in the city. Many dignitaries live in the east city of Chang'an, so the Eastern Lieutenant has a heavy responsibility and is not easy to handle, but Liu Bang, the Eastern Lieutenant, does a pretty good job.
He was competent. Firstly, his identity was there, and no one dared to put on airs. Secondly, the system of the Han Dynasty was already quite complete, and he did not need to do any specific work.
Seeing that the one-year deadline was approaching, Liu Bang's performance was quite satisfactory. Chen Gong and others were complacent, waiting to speak to Liu Xin again, but something suddenly happened.
On this day, Liu Bang patrolled the streets as usual. Unlike other captains, he did not ride a horse or walk, but rode a slow ox cart. Although it looked a little weird,
There is nothing that can be done about it. He is short and fat, and cannot ride a horse. He will be out of breath even after walking a few steps, so it is more comfortable to sit in a bullock cart. In fact, this kind of inspection is just a routine matter. After walking around,
, all the remaining matters were left to the government officials and scribes.
Liu Bang was sitting in the car, chatting and yawning, when he suddenly saw a beautiful girl walking out of a shop in front of her.[
Because Liu Bang was not yet in his prime, and Liu Bei, who had always been friends with him, was dead, Liu Xin did not let him live alone outside like he did in Xiangyang, but kept him in the palace. In the palace
There are many young and beautiful girls, but none of them are as beautiful and refined as the girl in front of her. In fact, when he was in Xiangyang, Liu Bang had met the Qiao sisters and was obsessed with their beauty, but the beauty of the girl in front of him was absolutely stunning.
Not under the Bridge sisters.
Probably because he had been suppressed for too long, Liu Bang was so obsessed with lust that he couldn't help but jump off the bullock cart and blocked the girl's way. Because of his obesity, Liu Bang usually moved slowly, let alone jumping out of the cart.
You have to be supported by government servants when you get on the bus.
The government officials who were following Liu Bang were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses and rushed forward, they found that Liu Bang was stopping the girl and saying some inappropriate words, which scared the girl and screamed repeatedly.
Seeing that his men were all here, Liu Bang suddenly became proud and said loudly: "Someone, bring her back to me!"
The government officials are not as unacademic as Liu Bang. They have all been specially trained, especially in the laws of the Han Dynasty. There is one article in the laws of the Han Dynasty that robbed women of the people by force and should be executed according to the law! But Liu Bang’s current behavior is in line with the law of the Han Dynasty.
The idea of robbing the common people and female sex has not yet been put into practice. But Liu Bang is not only their leader, but also the eldest prince of the current emperor. Whether they should carry out his orders or not has put the officials in trouble. They can't help but look at each other, advance and retreat.
measures.
But Liu Bang couldn't wait any longer and reached out to pull the girl's arm.
After all, the girl was just a quiet girl. She didn't have a lot of strength in her hands. Seeing that she couldn't get away, she was about to be taken into Liu Bang's arms. In desperation, the girl suddenly took out something from her sleeve.
A short knife came and stabbed Liu Bang violently.
Liu Bang's body was not very flexible to begin with, plus he sprained his foot when jumping out of the car and couldn't escape for a moment. The most important thing was that he never expected that a quiet and shy little girl would actually carry a sharp knife with him. So, Liu Bang's
He was stabbed in the chest, and blood flowed out immediately. Liu Bang tilted his body and fell to the ground.
At this time, the government officials who were following Liu Bang were frightened. They swarmed up and snatched the knife from the girl's hand. Several people carried Liu Bang into the car and rushed him to the medical school. Several others rushed to the medical school.
Control that girl.
Originally, such an unexpected case should be handled by the Dongfang Wei Yamen, but Dongfang Wei Liu Bang was the victim of the case, and his life or death was uncertain. At the same time, he was a prince. The officials did not dare to act on their own, so they discussed it and decided
The girl was sent to Chang'an Mansion. Anyway, the murderer was caught on the spot, and the "murder weapon" was used as physical evidence, so the trial was not difficult.
It happened that this day was the day when Ma Yun sat in court to hear the case. People could listen outside the court. There was already a sea of people in front of the Chang'an government office. Before the girl could be escorted, a government official separated the crowd first and held the girl in his hands.
The "murder weapon" was presented to the court. They were somewhat responsible for what happened to Liu Bang. Now I just hope that the girl's crime will be confirmed. It is best to be convicted of intentional murder. In the end, the blame fell on them.
It will be much lighter.
In fact, the public security in Chang'an City is quite good, and there are not many cases that Ma Yun needs to solve personally. However, listening to the Queen's judgment has become a major "entertainment activity" for the people of Chang'an, and Ma Yun herself is happy to be a queen who is close to the people.
, taking the opportunity to walk on the street is much more comfortable than staying in the palace all day.
There was not a single case in Chang'an Mansion today. Ma Yun was about to get up and leave when she suddenly heard someone making loud noises outside the door. Then, a government servant was brought in and presented a short knife with still residue on the blade.
Some blood stains.
When Ma Yun looked at the knife, she felt it looked familiar. She couldn't help but pick it up and look at it carefully. She then took out a flying knife from her arms and compared them. She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where did this knife come from?"
The yamen servant was the one who followed Liu Bang the most closely. He did not dare to tell the truth. He only said that Liu Bang was stabbed accidentally and the murderer had been captured. Please ask the Queen to come to his rescue.
Although Liu Bang is not Ma Yun's biological child, he has raised her for some time, and she still has some feelings for him. Ma Yun couldn't help but said in surprise: "Where is the murderer? Bring him quickly!"
At this time, the girl was also brought in. The people watching were talking a lot, saying that it was really unexpected that such a beautiful girl could be a murderer.
Ma Yun raised her eyes and saw that the girl's face was pale, with pear blossoms in the rain, but she looked familiar. After a closer look, it turned out to be Zhen Mi. No wonder her "murderous weapon" turned out to be Liu Xin's flying knife. Ma Yun couldn't help but walk up
He went forward, dismissed the several government officials who were escorting Zhen Mi, and asked, "Miss Zhen, what happened?"
The yamen servant who reported the news just now did not expect that the empress would know this girl, and was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Zhen Mi also recognized that the person sitting in the hall was Empress Ma, so she calmed down and told the story of what had happened just now with choked sobs.
Read it again.[
The hall instantly became filled with cries of crows, and the people outside the hall began to talk. The target of this girl's murder was actually the current prince, and the cause of the murder was that the prince wanted to rob a commoner's daughter. Every aspect of it was shocking.
. Some people have been quietly talking about the law of the Han Dynasty. The prince who breaks the law is the same as the common people. I wonder how the Queen will deal with this prince who broke the law.
Ma Yun's face became ugly. It was her own masterpiece to convict the rape of civilian girls as a capital crime. She had read many ancient and modern romance books. No matter which dynasty, those rich and powerful young men would always do it.
The incident of raping a civilian girl came up. But Ma Yun was a woman herself and hated such things, so she directly made the rape of a civilian girl a capital crime, regardless of whether it was successful or not.
Now, all the people in Chang'an City were watching to see if she could enforce the law impartially. Ma Yun couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Where did Liu Bang go?"
The government official who first reported the news hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is seriously injured and has been sent to the medical school for treatment."
Ma Yun turned to one of the guards and said, "Go and see how injured he is. If he's not dead, bring him over. I want to interrogate him properly!"
Not long after the guards left, they came back and reported: "My Majesty, the eldest prince only suffered some flesh injuries. After being treated by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hua, he is now in serious condition. However, the eldest prince was a little frightened, and the two gentlemen said that he would still be injured.
He stayed at the medical school for observation for a few days, so, so..."
It turns out that although Liu Xin's flying knife is sharp, it depends on who uses it. Zhen Mi has the strength to bind a chicken with his hands, and even if he stabs it with a knife, it can't penetrate very deep. What's more, Liu Bang has a lot of fat. This knife
It only scratched his skin a little. Liu Bang fainted on the spot, not because of the knife wound, but because he was frightened when he saw himself bleeding.
The personal guard also knew Liu Bang's identity. Since even Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo had said that they would stay and observe for a few days, he naturally didn't want to get into trouble. But Ma Yun waved her hand and sneered: "I can't even mention anyone.
Do you still need me to go there in person?"
But I heard Zhu Rong say: "Why don't you bother my sister to do this little thing? I can do it as soon as I go!"
Among Liu Xin's children, except for her biological son, Zhu Rong likes the one Liu Yu who competed with her for Fang Tian's painted halberd the most, and the one he dislikes the most is Liu Bang. Now that he hears what he actually did
This kind of thing made him even more angry, and he ran out in a hurry.
After a while, Zhu Rong strode back with the chubby Liu Bang in his arms. The people onlookers exclaimed and then clapped, not knowing whether it was for the natural supernatural power of the Yan Concubine or for the empress.
The empress can enforce the law impartially.
After being rescued from the medical school, Liu Bang became more sober. After all, he had been serving as the Eastern Lieutenant for almost a year. He knew a little bit about the laws of the Han Dynasty. Of course, he also knew what his actions just meant. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.
stand up.
However, when he saw that it was Ma Yun sitting in the lobby, Liu Bang felt lucky again. It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, so he was her "biological" after all, so Liu Bang plucked up the courage to say
: "If you report to your mother, the child will realize that he has made a mistake and is willing to accept punishment. Even if he is put in solitary confinement, he will not complain."
