Chapter 305 That is even colder (2)
Chapter 305: The colder insects in the four walls (2)
It would be nice to be the emperor safely and not let his mother overthrow it. Even if you live every day, you are worried and want to have a hero. If you dare not let Pei Xingjian continue, you immediately said, "I am a lonely student."
Pei Xingjian did not stop. One was determined to learn and the other was not determined to learn. Besides, he was an important official in the court and had affairs. It was impossible to teach the prince frequently. The time was very limited. And if it was expected, the time would be very fast. Therefore, he continued: "The reason why I said that Your Highness was kind since childhood, read books well, and some of them were from the heart, which was not comparable to Emperor Yang's fake. I have been watching silently. Your Highness's many actions were really incredible and had long helped the court. I followed Your Highness to the southwest and was not unfamiliar with military affairs. Therefore, I was whimsical and had the idea of today."
"I feel guilty about being alone," this... is from the heart.
"It's not me who strongly advises you. I have the intention to say this. Emperor Wu of Han severely injured the Huns. Although it was done by all the generals, I don't have martial arts. What are the border achievements? The plans for employment and plans are all decided by the emperor, and the generals just go to implement them."
This made Li Wei ponder and make sense. The emperor didn't understand and commanded randomly, and it was difficult for all the generals under his command to win the battle. The *** was that Li Ji was alive, an old minister and an old general, and he was in charge of his command. After Li Ji passed away, his father took it all over, so he had a logic. If not, would Xue Rengui be so anxious to march? If he was not anxious and did not go deep into Wuhai all at once, would he lose so badly?
"Many ministers opposed opening the border, which is a corrupt view. It is not that they cannot opening the border, but how to opening the border. If the border is abandoned and all the troops are taken back, it seems that there will be less military expenditure and less soldiers' sacrifice. If so, decades later, the Turks, Tubos, Khitans, Xi, Muhe people, and *** people on the border will grow stronger, and the harm will be even worse. At that time, the military expenditure will be more, and the soldiers who sacrifice will be more severe."
"Yes!" Li Wei was shocked. He had very little historical knowledge in his memory, but some things could still be remembered. It seemed that since his father passed away, his mother was the emperor. In every major battle, the Tang Dynasty lost seven out of ten, to the Tubo people, to the Turks, to the Khitans, to the Marine people. Not to mention the Song Dynasty.
This answer was very clear, which made Pei Xingjian very happy and continued, "Looking at the time of Emperor Taizong, as long as he dispatched a small number of powerful troops, he mobilized various foreign and Hu, using foreign to Fan and Hu, and using Hu to Hu, and spreading thousands of miles of borders, but the country was not burdened with it. Because the war was outside the border, the people were not harmed. However, this was not easy and had higher requirements for the ruler. But one thing is that Your Highness is very beneficial, but unfortunately many people neglected it. Your Highness once said that if you are not in our clan, your heart will be different. It is wrong for Mr. Xue to say that neither you are a clan, you can be a serious person, and you can't say it. Your Highness's bloodline can be an army of 500,000."
"Yes," Li Wei was shocked again. If Pei Xingjian had not made a clear statement, these words would never have been said. Of course, Pei Xingjian would not be able to express the Xianbei blood flowing on you. But this is true, the Hu people and the foreigners do not reject them. Many Hu generals fought bloody battles for the court, because of this bloodline. Therefore, after Li Shimin's death, all Hus cried, as if they had lost their parents, saying that Tian Khan had fallen. When they reached his father's hand, this card seemed not to be played well. But we can't threaten all day long, that I am also a descendant of the Xianbei people, and the whole country would be in turmoil. In the end, it would be a whole person. Submission was never a solution. If it turned into a family, the disputes would naturally decrease.
Thinking of this, my eyebrows flipped.
This made Pei Xingjian feel relieved. He learned the military tactics of Duke Wei, and the qualifications of the prince were slightly worse, but they were not so bad that they could not learn.
"But blindly pursuing border achievements will become a military force, and the country and the people will be burdened with heavy burdens, and the gains will not be worth the loss. I am relieved of this. I only remember one thing. If outsiders ask, you can only say that you can discuss calligraphy with me."
"Yes," Li Wei didn't think of anything else, it was hard to explain. Could it be that Pei Xingjian taught me the art of war and wanted me to be the future hero? I guess that Pei Xingjian was exiled to Lingnan by his father. But he was still suspicious in his heart. Is this really the reason for Pei Xingjian teaching himself the art of war?
I don’t believe that Pei Xingjian is very sensible and does not do some things badly. At least as a modern person, he does not act like a prince. Maybe he will not be a fool in becoming an emperor in the future, but not Li Shimin... But learning is better than not learning, this is Li Jing’s military strategy!
Pei Xingjian took out a yellowed book and said, "Your Highness, I will tell you the first article, the momentum is like..."
...
Di Renjie entered the city, and the criminals were imprisoned one by one, but Di Renjie dispersed the original prison soldiers one by one and asked his subordinates to take over the supervision. Of course, he would not intimidate them with torture like Zhou Xing, but just detain the prisoners alone, then interrogate them one by one, and use their different confessions to confront each other again.
When Tianshui heard this news, his face turned like dust.
If you cannot interfere in your business, you cannot inform others, and you will be able to report it to you later.
After several days of panic, Di Renjie sent someone to call him over. It was not the one whom Di Renjie received, but a subordinate of his. I still remember the name, He Guangzhen, who is also an official in Dali Temple. He was very polite to him, and asked him to sit down and brew another cup of tea. He Guangzhen said: "In addition to the envoys, the case of Yangzhou and Chuzhou Salt Field, we have basically found out. Of course, you did a pretty good job, and you pulled a few weak merchants into the water, and they also found out their property. But I have a list here, you can take a look."
Except for Tianshui who took it idly, it clearly stated that all the fugitives hired by the salt farm were not only the salt farm, but also many workshops in Yangzhou used fugitives. Di Renjie did not investigate, and the blow was too big and could not be revealed.
In addition to this list, his subordinates also used fugitives to extort confessions from salt merchants.
He Guangzhen waited for him to finish reading and said, "You are an official in the court. Although you made a mistake, it is not a death sentence. If you don't explain, we can also condemn you. You should now understand that it is not only the case of Liang Jinzhu, but the salt and sugar of the court and the taxation of the sea city, which the emperor will not tolerate. If you refuse to resist, you will not only be sentenced to death, but even your family will be sent to Lingnan. By the way, you will tell you two things. The two-channel project has stopped. It is not the prince you think that the prince has stood up for Liang Jinzhu, but the mud is too heavy and cannot be started. The emperor will not blame the prince. You should not think of the lucky emperor's wish for His Royal Highness, or what someone will come forward for you in the end. The second thing is that Di envoy has arrived in Jiangnan, and it is possible that Suzhou will be revealed long ago."
"When did he go to Jiangnan?"
"When we came, we were divided into two groups. One group was dressed up by civilians and the other group was that we came to Yangzhou. But that night, the envoy Di left Yangzhou indifferently and went to Suzhou. There is another thing, and I will tell you that before His Highness returned to Luoyang, there were already a large number of people coming to Yangzhou and Suzhou to find out your situation. The reason for the interrogation was to meet the procedures and confirm the crime."
These news were like thunder, shattering the last trace of luck in the clear water. After most of the day, he said, "Let me go back and think about it."
In fact, he didn't want to explain the mistake he made, but he wanted to explain his relationship with King Cao. When he returned home, his wife also felt worried, but her daughter was young and ignorant, and she didn't know that something big would happen at home. When she came to Yangzhou, she asked her cousin for two stranded swallows and dug up insect pupa to feed her.
Looking at his daughter, he looked at the pair of greedy swallows and the worm pupa on the plate. Except for Tianshui, he suddenly felt like a little cold insect. If he was not caught in this case, he could jump a few times, but the prince on the left was the prince, and if he didn't explain, he would definitely not have a good end. On the right was King Yong. He explained that it was impossible to keep his official position and would be exiled, but if he offended the Yongwang Party, he would not have a good end. In front was Xuehai and behind was an ice skate. He could only be helpless and curled up and waited for death.
Even if you die, you have to die smart, otherwise your family will be implicated by yourself.
He said powerlessly: "Madam, take a look at the property in the family. I should be bribery and hand it over to the people of Dali Temple."
"Alang..."
Apart from Tianshui shook his head weakly, he took out a piece of paper and wrote a confession letter. There was no way to explain it, so he had to take the sins himself and not give it to King Cao. It depends on whether the court can let his family go for his own death.
"Alang..." The wife just cried, and the daughter didn't know what was going on, so she cried.
"It's useless, I'll be in trouble forever," he said, taking out a small ball of meatball from his arms and stuffing it into his mouth. After a while, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and then fell down like a curled insect pupa, without moving, only the corners of the clothes were floating with the cold wind in winter.
...
"You still don't want to do it!" Liang Jinzhu woke up leisurely, and King Cao Li Ming asked.
Liang Jinzhu has been tortured to death, and his body is covered with blood scars, emitting a foul smell and the rotten smell of wounds. If it weren't for the large amount of money, the servants at home would spare no expense to save money from time to time, and their three lives would have died.
But Liang Jinzhu just didn't help him. In fact, in addition to using evil punishment, he also forced him to confess his affairs, and used severe punishment to make him "confession" one by one. If he couldn't stand it, he would not only be in charge of the affairs, but even if Liang Jinzhu couldn't get news from the court, he would not be able to endure it.
Then he used his family to threaten. A few days later, his eldest son was in charge in Suzhou and was killed for no reason. Two concubines were insulted by more than a dozen criminals. But he just didn't help.
When Li Ming encountered this difficult job, he became anxious. With Di Renjie's arrival, he discussed with his staff. Someone thought that he would immediately release Liang Jinzhu and send someone to treat him. The remaining property would be returned, and the big things would be turned into small things. After all, he was just a businessman, and he didn't believe that the court would punish him for the sake of justice of a businessman. For example, Di Renjie went to his fiefdom with a fierce moment, and finally recorded it for a moment, and left obediently.
Some people have premonition that things will not be good, and the prince used two channels to stop work and supported Liang Jinzhu. Therefore, they forced Liang Jinzhu to confess, and confess part of it first, and it would be easier to deal with it when they started. Then they forced him to confess and collude with the prince, and the plot was not weird. Then these cases would not be a contaminated case, and the entire case would be revitalized. If they were not allowed, they would kill Liang Jinzhu and pretend to be a scene of suicide fearing crimes. Anyway, there was the confession of Liang Jinzhu, which would be confused by the black and white.
Liang Jinzhu was stubborn, and Li Ming was helpless and called a group of subordinates into the inner hall, saying, "Go to do it."
"Your Highness, Di Renjie is still in Yangzhou. Can you watch it for a few more days?" Mei Ziping said.
"What do you mean?" This is Mei Ziping's third time suggesting that Liang Jinzhu be left to live and continue to force confession. Li Ming finally became suspicious. Mei Ziping was a little weak and said stutteringly: "Your Highness, having Liang Jinzhu's confession is different from not having any sacred fruit."
But this time Li Ming didn't believe it, just stared at him.
Suddenly, noise and wailing came from outside. Li Ming walked out angrily and asked, "What happened?"
A middle-aged man wearing soapy clothes and a green head, broke in with a group of people. He was afraid that Li Ming would jump over the wall, so Di Renjie rushed into the court. The yamen runners stopped him and were immediately knocked down by a group of guards. The howling outside was made by the injured yamen runners.
Di Renjie said: "Receive the order."
Here one shouted to accept the order, and someone came forward to protect Liang Jinzhu. At this time, Li Ming regretted it too late, so he had to bow down to accept the order.
After promulgating the imperial edict, Di Renjie came to Liang Jinzhu and said, "Mr. Di is late."
Others don’t know, but Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong know that the industry cannot be considered Liang Jinzhu’s. He is just an agent. Although Di Renjie still has some objections, how many benefits has he brought to the court? Not only tribute taxes and charity donations, but not counting, it is the prince’s money. What is the difference between the country’s money? It is mainly to pull, all the tribute taxes in the salt and sugar sea market, which is what Di Renjie values.
"Not too late, envoy Di, they asked me to falsely accuse the prince," he said that, and he persisted until now, relaxed and fainted again.
A man came over immediately, took out a small medicine box, and treated Liang Jinzhu. Di Renjie sneered and looked at the officials and said, "You are so brave. Liang Jinzhu is still an official in the court. He dared to force confessions to him to falsely accuse the prince."
"There is no such thing," Li Ming said hurriedly, regardless of Di Renjie's presence, he kept winking at his subordinates.
"Di envoys, my ministers, I have confirmed that I am unwilling to do so, but King Cao forced me to commit suicide by yamen runners." Mei Ziping snatched forward and replied.
"Mei Ziping, don't swear at others!"
"Your Highness Cao, you still dare to be arrogant. You indulge your servants in the family to do evil, forcing them to buy and sell them, use your power, embezzle good people's land, pay high interest, fish meat, and force robbed people's daughters as concubines. When you were in Suzhou, you forced blackmail with your subordinates, embezzled bribes, and in order to falsely accuse the prince, you colluded with the salt and iron envoy and the officials of the Maritime Bureau torture and force court officials to confess their crimes, falsely accused the good people of the robbery, and even killed his son, and sent a group of Xiaoling to insult his female family to death."
Liang Jinzhu woke up again at this time and burst into tears when he heard this.
The implicated officials all looked pale. It was over. Even if King Cao's crimes were confirmed, it was over. Since Di Renjie had read it, he was covered with the Jiangnan Road inspector interview and disposal envoy, there must be evidence, otherwise he could not say it.
But King Cao was still roaring like thunder and said, "You little Dharma Cao, you are so brave, you dare to slander me."
If Di Renjie hadn't brought many people, he could have said that he would come and take this person down!
"You dare to be arrogant. Come on. King Cao is very guilty and takes off his seal."
The two guards walked forward, pushed Li Ming's body, and reached out to take the seal talisman. Li Ming was going to rob him, and punched him again. Li Ming immediately lay on the ground and said, "I am a clan of the royal family. Do you dare to hit me?"
"You are a clan of the royal family, am I?" The guard asked back. Yes, but it is far less noble than Li Ming, so he had to sneak into the Yulin Army to see if he could get a chance to be promoted. But seizing Li Ming's seal talisman also means that Li Ming is no longer the governor of Suzhou and has no right to mobilize Suzhou officials. Of course, Di Renjie is still a temple chief, which is slightly better than the law caucasian, but he has the right to seize seals and strip officials. He ignored him and continued to read out and arrested a group of officials.
Li Ming was the prince and gave face. This was not the case with other officials. The company commander and Shi suddenly pressed it on the wall, took off his black hat, took off his official uniform, and then seized it. This time it was not a greed or a forced confession, but a deceiving of the prince, and the case was even more damaging.
A group of people arrested them, and under the leadership of Mei Ziping, they arrested relevant criminals and officials in the city. Di Renjie walked to Liang Jinzhu and took out a small bag. This was also something that Di Renjie was hesitant, but the prince insisted repeatedly and would be criticized, but there were benefits, so he had no choice but to do so.
Open the bag, and there was a brocade fur inside. Di Renjie said, "Xuan Delang, Your Highness knows that you have suffered, but he doesn't know how to make up for it. This brocade fur was sewn by the Crown Princess for the Crown Princess, and I ask Di to bring it to you."
As he said this, he draped it over him carefully.
Although there are all kinds of criticisms, this pirate will bring many hot hearts to the prince...
***: It is not the meaning of the object in the pond to reveal it. It is not easy to calculate the dragon. The cold insects are the end of ordinary ministers who do not have the ability to join the throne.
