Chapter 1651 The first prime minister to be killed

Probably feeling the gaze of Emperor Liu, Liu Wenhai came on horseback. After ten feet away, he jumped off the horse and landed lightly. His body was as light as a swallow. In front of the emperor, he bowed and bowed down: "Grandson sees grandfather!"

Liu Wenhai's body was full of youthful vigor, and at the same time, the nobility and arrogance of the nobles of the Tian family were deeply rooted in his bone marrow. After vigorous activities, his face was dripping with sweat, but his handsome brows were full of joy.

"Excuse me, get up!" Emperor Liu raised his hand and said to Liu Wenhai.

The adjective benevolence is probably only suitable for Emperor Liu when facing these grandsons. Normally, even when facing those princes, he is mostly majestic.

Taking out a silk handkerchief from his cuff, Emperor Liu wiped it for Liu Wen himself and threw it to him: "Look at you sweating profusely and covered in dust, if your grandmother finds out, I will discipline you again! Hurry up and wipe yourself!"

"Yes!" Liu Wenhai quickly took it, wiped it on his face, and wiped it off.

The grandmother that Emperor Liu was referring to was naturally Concubine Gao Gui.Maybe it's because she's getting older, or she's completely given up on Jin Wang Liu Xi's lack of progress. Over the years, Concubine Gao has settled down a lot, and is no longer as aggressive as she was in her early years.

Instead, she quietly stayed in her Yaohua Palace to take care of her life, and occasionally made a report to Emperor Liu, and she could go out of the palace to visit her relatives and return to her hometown to worship her ancestors.

However, in the deep palace, old and decrepit, and Emperor Liu rarely visited, so it was inevitable to be lonely.Fortunately, Liu Xi was filial and gave her eldest son Liu Wenhai to be raised by her, and also gave her some sustenance.

Therefore, Concubine Gao, who has reached her twilight years, seems to have found the motivation of the year again, and began to cultivate her grandson Liu Wenhai with all her heart, just like she did to Liu Xi back then.

Gao Gui is gratified that Liu Wenhai is as smart as his father, but he is diligent and studious, less ambitious, not lazy like his father at all, good at martial arts, and has received a lot of praise.

Thanks to this, Emperor Liu inevitably paid more attention and love to the grandson of the Jin Wang family, and from time to time, he also called to his side to encourage him to take the exam.

Wiping his sweat, Liu Wenhai still grinned and said to Emperor Liu: "It's okay to be punished by grandma for a few laps!"

There was a hint of wit in the gentle smile, Emperor Liu laughed, pointed to the horse Liu Wenhai was riding on, and asked, "How about this horse? This is a good horse presented by Zendan, do you like it?"

"Naturally a good horse!" Liu Wenhai nodded hurriedly: "Naturally I like it!"

"Since you like it, it's yours!" Emperor Liu said generously.

Hearing this, Liu Wenhai was not in a hurry to thank you, but frowned before shaking his head: "Grandson doesn't want this horse!"

This surprised Emperor Liu, and asked curiously, "Why?"

Liu Wenhai chuckled: "This horse has been tamed long ago. It is too weak and irrational. Although it is strong, it has no characteristics. This kind of horse looks like a high-quality horse, but it is also common in the world."

Hearing Liu Wenhai's words, Emperor Liu was stunned for a while, and a random laugh broke out from his mouth again: "Your tone is not small, even the royal horses look down on you, but this ambition is as good as yours! Uncle was about the same back then!"

When Emperor Liu said this, Liu Wenhai was overjoyed immediately, but his modesty couldn't hide his smile: "How can grandson be compared with fourth uncle, we should only encourage him to follow suit!"

Emperor Liu looked at this grandson, his eyes were almost narrowed. He did have some feelings, and he saw some shadows of Liu Fang, the King of Zhao, when he was young. Already able to write poems and Fu.

A servant rushed over, and Yan Tuo, who was watching all directions and listening to all directions, noticed it and rushed to meet him. How could this not be noticed by Emperor Liu? Seeing them whispering their ears, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Tuo dismissed the servant, stepped forward quickly, and said respectfully: "The prince is here!"

"I won't go back to the palace, let him come here!" As he said, Emperor Liu bent down with his bamboo joints in his arms. Seeing this, Liu Wenhai hurried up to support Emperor Liu to sit on the floor.

Emperor Liu rushed to Gao Qiong and said, "Gao Qing, you can also sit with me for a while!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Liu Wenhai also sat obediently aside, as for Yan Tuo, he personally went to meet the prince.Soon, Liu Yang came over, his pace was a little faster, and he didn't slow down until he approached and saw Emperor Liu who was sitting casually by the Jinming Pool and laughing with Gao Qiong.

Seeing the ceremony, he also sat cross-legged. Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang and asked directly: "What happened again? I want you to come in person. Can you wait for me to return to the palace?"

Upon hearing the question, Liu Yang showed a reserved smile, and then solemnly reported: "The investigation and interrogation against Lu Duoxun by the Sanfa Division has ended, and I will ask you to give an order on how to convict and sentence Lu Duoxun!"

Listening to what he said, Emperor Liu's expression didn't change much, but his tone was rather long: "It's finally over. I've said it several times. Everything is dealt with in accordance with the "Xing Tong". Why do you still want to ask me? Investigate It's all over, Xin Zhongfu and the others don't have an opinion on how to sentence?"

Feeling the dissatisfaction in Emperor Liu's tone, Liu Yang hesitated for a while, but still defended it: "After all, Lu Duoxun is a chancellor, and this case involves important matters and has a wide-ranging impact. It has been disturbing so far, and finally there is a result. Xin Shangshu It is understandable for others to be cautious. Without your instructions, how dare they make a judgment rashly! It is reasonable and reasonable, and this matter still needs the guidance of the holy will!"

Regarding Liu Yang's words, Emperor Liu did not comment. After thinking about it, he asked, "What's Xin Zhongfu's opinion? Don't just expect me to give instructions. If they are familiar with the law and responsible for investigations, if they don't have any ideas, then I will What use are they for?"

Emperor Liu's attitude always seemed a little harsh, and Liu Yang also accompanied him with some caution: "If the law is followed, Lu Duoxun's crime is between killing and not killing."

"It's between killing and not killing!" Emperor Liu was a little happy, but the tone was really frightening.

Emperor Liu's dissatisfaction had already surfaced. At this time, Liu Yang couldn't speak rashly, but just lowered his head slightly, silently waiting for the reprimand.

Glancing at him, Emperor Liu smiled again: "Xin Zhongfu is also a courageous official, why is he so procrastinating this time, he dare not come to see me, but begs you to report!"

After a sentence of emotion, Emperor Liu asked, "Do you have any suggestions for the treatment of Lu Duoxun, the ministers of the court?"

Liu Yang: "Most of the courtiers are silent, but there are also a few people who come forward and say that Lu Duoxun's crimes cannot be punished, and the law of the country should be upheld!"

Emperor Liu didn't have any obvious reaction to this, and asked again: "Is there no one who came forward to intercede for Lu Duoxun?"

Taking a careful look at Emperor Liu, Liu Yang said: "Master Zhao believes that Lu Duoxun has committed serious crimes and should be dealt with according to law. However, after all, he has been a minister for many years and has made great achievements. He can save his life and be sentenced to exile!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu immediately sneered and said, "What's the matter with Zhao Pu? It's already at this time, why don't you talk about merits and demerits!
I admit that Lu Duoxun has meritorious service, and I don't need to deny it, but didn't the imperial court reward him for his meritorious service in the past?No reward?Did I treat him poorly?
Is there such a rule in the "Xing Tong" to pay old meritorious deeds for new crimes? "

Emperor Liu began to criticize again, and he criticized Zhao Pu mercilessly, with some serious words.However, even Liu Yang couldn't convince Liu Yang that the words were so dignified. Isn't this just a matter of one sentence?
Emperor Liu, after all, is above the law.However, he left a sentence on the criminal system and right on the legal system, but there are many crimes committed by Luderson that cannot be reflected in the "Xing System".

However, no matter what, from Emperor Liu's attitude, it can be seen that Lu Duoxun is in danger!

Emperor Liu was still uttering his heartbreaking words: "Zhao and Lu are mortal enemies. He actually pleaded for Lu Duoxun. Don't think I don't know how he thinks. It's not that he is a big-hearted prime minister. There are two"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yang's expression changed immediately, his brows were furrowed, and he lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to answer.

However, after saying this sentence, Emperor Liu was also silent, and turned his gaze to Jin Mingchi, deep in thought. The rippling water of the pool seemed to reflect his current state of mind.

Whether or not to kill Lu Duoxun is really just a word from Emperor Liu, needless to say, just an attitude.However, whether to kill or not, Emperor Liu still hesitated a little, even if it was just a little, he didn't make a direct decision.

However, he didn't think for too long. When Wang Yinwu's report that day resurfaced in Emperor Liu's mind, there was no expression on his face, and his tone was also so palpitatingly indifferent: "Since the founding of the country, the big man seems to have no Kill the prime minister! Then Lu Duosun, be the first one!"
