Han Shizu

Chapter 203 Go to Prison
Under Liu Chengyou's inaction and even his intentional connivance, the turmoil in Xijing intensified.As if feeling the emperor's will, Shi Hongzhao really stretched out his hand to other people, including the court officials.

Shi Hongzhao was not so stupid as to arrest everyone, but it was not difficult to carry out some "targeted" retaliation, especially those civil servants whom he hated.

In today's big man's court, there is a chain of contempt.A martial artist like Shi Hongzhao despises civil servants, and civil servants like Yang Bin and Wang Zhang despise Confucian officials, and Confucian officials seem to despise everything.

Take Shi Hongzhao as an example, he seems to have a deep-rooted prejudice and contempt for civil servants.Or because of low self-esteem, although this is an era of poor literacy, and the status of literati is not high, but not all warriors use ignorance as a capital to show off.Especially when Shi Hongzhao is in this position, he deeply hates others for ridiculing him as a coward and laughing at his shallow knowledge.
Taste and talk to people: the literati are impatient, look down on my generation, call my generation a pawn, hateful and hateful!

This time, Shi Hongzhao caught the opportunity, so he naturally made use of the topic to make it "happy".Left and right, doing things in Xijing is much less resistant than in Tokyo, and under the behest of the emperor Liu Chengyou, he is well-known as a teacher.

At the peak of this turmoil, Shi Hongzhao found Su Fengji as his target.Shi Hongzhao had always hated Su Fengji, a villain who often made waves in the court, acted like a domineering, and sowed discord.

On Xijing's side, the biggest landlords, the biggest manors, and the most rampant behavior are people from Su Fengji.Thus, during the inspection of Liu Manor, Shi and Su confronted each other.

Shi Hongzhao sent troops to raid a Su Fengji's manor in the suburbs of Luoyang. Su Fengji's servant Zhuangqu was so insolent that he resisted with weapons and was directly breached. Dozens of Su Fengji's disciples were killed.

When Su Fengji heard the news and arrived, it was already too late and he was furious.He had a fierce dispute with Shi Hongzhao, but an open mouth was no match for a martial artist with a knife.If it wasn't for Shi Hongzhao's clear mind, he might have captured Su Fengji on the spot.Even so, the two quarreled directly in front of Liu Chengyou.

"Your Majesty, Shi Hongzhao has gone against the grain, arresting court officials indiscriminately, imposing punishments privately, embezzling people's wealth, and disregarding human life."

It was the first time for Liu Chengyou to see Su Fengji lose his composure like this, as if Shi Hongzhao had stepped on his tail, he tore his face completely, and impeached and attacked Shi Hongzhao in front of the imperial court.

Sweeping towards Shi Hongzhao, I saw that he had a sullen face and was also very angry. He cupped his hands towards Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, after investigation by the ministers, Su Fengji was in Luoyang, wantonly encroaching on the fields, and his family servants ran amok and forced the people into slavery. Fan, even dare to send people to the official villages to capture the villagers and farm them privately. The tenants of the manor are all shackled. Resign from his post and ask for guilt!"

"It's just nonsense!" Hearing what Shi Hongzhao said, Su Fengji became furious, and immediately said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty must not listen to Shi Hongzhao's slander. As far as I know, Shi Hongzhao faked the king's order, set his own way, framed Zhongliang, abused Applying cruel laws and enriching one's own pockets. It caused the people of Xijing Yu to panic and complain. This person is a great murderer for the dynasty and a disaster for the country. Your Majesty please get rid of him."

"Traitor! Spitting blood!" Shi Hongzhao seemed to have been touched by the words. He lifted up his official robe, exposed his fists, and looked at Su Fengji with eyes that wanted to spit fire.

"Bold Shi Hongzhao, in front of His Majesty, is so arrogant, one can imagine how rampant he is on weekdays." Seeing Shi Hongzhao's movements, Su Fengji took two steps back very interestingly, habitually pulled Liu Chengyou's tiger skin, and questioned He: "Could it be that you still want to do something in the palace?"

"You think a certain dare not?" Shi Hongzhao roared.

"That's enough!" At this moment, Liu Chengyou, who had been listening to the two of them arguing with a sullen face, finally couldn't help it, and shouted violently: "In your eyes, is there still an emperor like me!"

Liu Chengyou went mad suddenly, which startled the two of them.Su Fengji's eyes slanted. Seeing that Liu Chengyou was angry, the corner of his mouth raised a little, he quickly bowed, pretending to be humble and frightened, and pleaded guilty: "I have nothing to say, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shi Hongzhao also seemed to have calmed down, and he exchanged a glance with Liu Chengyou, awed by his indifferent eyes, rolled up his sleeves, with a gloomy face, and apologized: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The hall slowly fell silent, a needle could be heard, and Liu Chengyou looked at Shi and Su expressionlessly.There was no wave in his eyes, but he was thinking calmly in his mind, how to deal with this matter, should he make use of the problem, or calm down?
Peace of mind?This idea was suppressed by Liu Chengyou almost immediately.

It was an unexpected surprise that Shi Hongzhao bit Su Fengji, and the two, biting each other, were more happy than happy.

For Su Fengji, Liu Chengyou had long wanted to punish Su Fengji, but he hadn't thought about when to do it.

From the beginning, Liu Chengyou had a bad impression of Su Fengji.Before the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, this person was still restrained, but after the establishment of the country as a prime minister, his deeds are not worthy of the name of "traitor power minister".Selling officials and nobles, causing chaos in the court, having no monarch, violating prohibitions, arrogance and lust, condoning lawlessness
Even before, Liu Chengyou sent someone to win him over, but he just wanted an ally against Yang Bin against his will.However, in fact, even without Liu Chengyou, the disputes and conflicts between Yang Su are intense enough.Moreover, before that, Su Fengji often took advantage of Liu Chengyou's wind to fight against Yang Bin.

Up to now, Su Fengji has become a cancer in the Han court.This person is crazy when he is successful, and what he does is really too crazy.

To a certain extent, compared to Yang Bin, Liu Chengyou hated Su Fengji more from the heart.Of course, when it comes to conflicts, Liu Chengyou and Yang Bin are still more serious. It is a struggle related to imperial power. Even if it can be suppressed for a while, it will be difficult to reconcile in the end.

"Su Qing, what do you have to say about the crime Shi Qing charged?" After a while, when Shi and Su felt a little nervous involuntarily, Liu Chengyou finally spoke up, facing Su Fengji.

"This is all Shi Hongzhao's slander." The words of denial blurted out, but when he noticed Liu Chengyou's cold gaze, Su Fengji's voice couldn't help being hoarse, and the indifferent eyes made him flustered a little.

His lips seemed a little dry, Su Fengji swallowed.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou picked up a stack of memorials from the royal case, held them in his hands, and said to Su Fengji condescendingly: "These are the letters I received about your violation of law and discipline after I became the throne. For more than a month, there are more than [-] copies of the memorial!"

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Su Fengji was startled, and in a moment of astonishment, he quickly realized: "It must be a villain who made trouble and framed my minister. Your Majesty must not believe those false statements!"

With Su Fengji's answer, he almost wanted to fool Liu Chengyou for a fool.

"Su Fengji!" Liu Chengyou shouted angrily, "Do you think I can be bullied?"

Su Fengji was completely taken aback by Liu Chengyou's sudden questioning, and he replied in astonishment: "I, I dare not."

"Selling officials and nobles, is it true? The governor of Ruzhou clearly marked the price at [-] yuan, is this false?"

"Indulging servants, rampant lawlessness, oppressing goodness, is there a lie?"

"Is it false to expand the mansion privately by exceeding the regulations? Is it false to violate the imperial ban?"

"Enclosure harms the people, robs the villagers by force, and conflicts with the government. Is there a lie?"

"."

"One by one, do you want to see it for yourself? Do you want me to point it out for you one by one?" Liu Chengyou vigorously threw the memorial on the imperial case, and stared at Su Fengji coldly.

"Minister, minister, minister" Su Fengji's legs softened and he knelt down.

"Chenchenchen" for a long time, finally said "guilty".

At this time, Shi Hongzhao added a stab at the right time: "Your Majesty, I found some armored soldiers from Su Fengji's manor, and his servants also held many sharp weapons. I'm afraid that he secretly stores armored soldiers. There is a conspiracy."

Su Fengji looked at Shi Hongzhao, his eyes were tearing apart.For other crimes, no matter how serious they are, he has the confidence to get rid of them, but when Shi Hongzhao said this, he almost wanted to put him to death.Private storage of armored soldiers is much more sensitive than disregarding human lives.

"Don't dare, I don't dare to disagree!" Su Fengji hurriedly pleaded guilty, saying, "Your Majesty is loyal to your Majesty, and the world can learn from you. Your Majesty, don't listen to Shi Hongzhao's slanderous words!"

Liu Chengyou seemed to be enraged, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, and ordered outside angrily: "Come here, take this thief down, put him in prison, and keep him under strict supervision!"

"Your Majesty! Forgive me, Your Majesty! Forgive me, Your Majesty!" Su Fengji was completely panicked, and kept wailing while being carried out.

Unfortunately, Liu Chengyou was unmoved.

"Take down this thief, Your Majesty is wise." Shi Hongzhao was beside him, showing some satisfaction, and complimented Liu Chengyou for the first time.

Liu Chengyou seemed to have come to his senses, sighed, and said to Shi Hongzhao in a somewhat dispirited manner: "Shi Qing has been working hard these days."

"Serving Your Majesty and the court, don't dare to say bitterness!" Shi Hongzhao's disposition was as obedient as a sheep at this moment.

Liu Chengyou pondered for a while, and said to Shi Hongzhao: "Since Su Fengji is in prison, Shi Qing should confiscate all the properties he has bought in Xijing and the food and wealth he collected. All his party members and slaves who have committed crimes and crimes will be captured and they will not leave. Take one off!"

"Yes!" Shi Hongzhao raised his voice, excitedly obeying orders and leaving, this person really didn't have much self-awareness.

Liu Chengyou looked at his back, what Shi Hongzhao didn't know was that Liu Chengyou looked at his back with the same indifference.

After he retreated, Liu Chengyou's face slowly returned to calm, and his eyes softened. He slowly sat back behind the imperial case, picked up a copy of the memorial just now, and continued to look at it.Taking down a chancellor didn't seem to have any effect on him.

And the memorial in hand was not the impeachment of Su Fengji, it was just a political report forwarded by Tokyo.

"Come here, pass on martial arts envoys!" After a while, Liu Chengyou's cold voice resounded in the hall.
