Han Shizu

Chapter 318 Xuzhou’s Generals Are Empty

"Great Ren? Great Merit? Big trouble!" Guo Wei stood at the gate, stroked his beard and muttered silently.Looking back at the shining gold, exuding precious aura, he sighed.The well-defined face was tightly wrinkled together, and there was a serious look in it, which could not be concealed.

In Guo Wei's mind, he was very clear, what is there to judge about Liu Xin's matter, the matter is clear and unscrupulous, so how difficult is it to verify it?The real difficulty is how to deal with the penalty.

The bloodline of the great Han clan is really not rich, Liu Xin is already a close relative, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is extremely rare for three generations to ask questions with such fanfare.Even, setting up a case in the court and interrogating one party's Jiedu are all "strange news".

In fact, regardless of the status of Uncle Liu Xin or the status of a feudal town, if the emperor kills and punishes him, there will be no real resistance. In this troubled world, there is no shortage of faint kings and tyrants.However, Liu Chengyou is so serious and wants to follow the "procedure", what is he worrying about, Guo Wei actually has some guesses in his heart.

What we want is to be upright and justifiable. This is to be done for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, for the officials and people of Xuzhou, and more importantly, for the Jiedu of the world.Look, Liu Xin, an important town in the Central Plains and the emperor's uncle, has been taken down. What about the others?

Make this case an example, and in the future, you can follow the example.As for whether it will arouse the suspicion or suspicion of others, that is inevitable. Of course, the more important thing is to deter. The imperial court still has that confidence.

Moreover, if things are done rightly, standing at the highest point of morality, it is enough to make the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.In troubled times, righteousness is really worthless, but when it is needed, it is worth a thousand gold.

Recalling before and after Liu Xin's case happened today, Guo Wei knew that the emperor had long wanted to deal with his uncle, and Zhao Li just triggered it.But thinking about going back to the next hour of meditation, I always feel that I haven't considered it.

"Where is Liu Xin detained?" Guo Wei quickly figured out a clue in his mind and asked.

"Hui Shuxiang, temporarily detained in the Jiedu government office!" Zhao Yanjin, who was temporarily transferred to Guo Wei's subordinates, replied.

"Strictly guarded! Uh, no humiliation!" Guo Wei ordered.

Since Guo Wei was appointed as the presiding judge, Liu Chengyou assigned him some auxiliary officials, including the censor headed by Zhao Li and the inspector of Wu Desi.

Going back to the next place, Guo Wei resolutely said to the people headed by Zhao Li: "You must have made a lot of preparations before. As soon as you respond to the incriminating documents, submit them all. I want to check!"

"Yes!"

People like Zhao Li didn't talk too much, or they behaved very competently under Liu Chengyou's orders.

It didn't take long for Guo Wei's case to be covered with several layers of documents.Looking at the piles of criminal evidence, Guo Wei knew that he would have to work all night.

Only after reading it again, Guo Wei knew from the detailed texts that Liu Xin was evil, and also knew how well prepared Liu Chengyou was in secret.

When Liu Chengyou let the ministers accompany him to sit in meditation, of course it was not aimless. In that short period of more than one hour, the situation inside and outside Changshe City can be described as sudden changes.

The city was under martial law, and the Fengchen army of the brigade set out. Under the leadership of Wu Desi's subordinate spies, they searched for clues and arrested the emperor's uncle Liu Xin's party members and state officials. Several county magistrates and chiefs were also taken down in half.

As for the Jieduya soldiers, they were directly besieged by Ma Quanyi's troops, who controlled them to disarm, and their generals were sent to prison.

Liu Chengyou's move was thunderous.

"Are you under control?" In the inner hall, Liu Chengyou asked casually, standing in front of the window with one hand behind his waist, staring at the night scene outside in a slightly pretentious posture.

Behind, Li Shaoyou, Xiang Xun and Ma Quanyi were waiting.

Upon hearing the question, Li Shaoyou took the initiative to answer: "Reporting to the official family, the officials of Xuzhou, who are suspected of crimes, have been captured by the minister and General Xiang. Counting the county officials, there are a total of 32 people. Right now, all of them are being imprisoned in the state prison. !"

Liu Chengyou sighed slightly: "This is to wipe out all the officialdom in Xuzhou! Didn't cause turmoil!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Xiang Xun answered steadily: "Before the incident, the last general has sent troops to martial law the whole city!"

"Where's Xuzhou Yabing?"

As soon as Ma Quanyi opened his mouth, he gave Liu Chengyou a sense of peace of mind, and said: "The tooth soldiers in the state, a total of more than [-] soldiers, have been controlled, and all of them should be captured under the command of the general. Marquis Yang Yu has led the iron cavalry army , rushed to the counties of the subordinate armies, and captured the generals!"

"You have done a good job!" Liu Chengyou thought for a while, and said, "I still say the same thing, we must ensure stability inside and outside the city!"

"Yes!"

"The officials are impartial and selfless, and the justice of killing relatives, as long as the news of the public trial of the emperor's uncle is spread, the hearts of the people will be at ease. The scholars and people of Xuzhou must be happy and forget their worries, and praise the officials for their wisdom!"

Only Li Shaoyou dared to say such words.

"Retire and go to work!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand.

"Yes!" The three responded in unison.

"cousin!"

"The minister is here."

Liu Chengyou ordered: "Guo Shuxiang, you also go to help! He opened the trial, and you are here, listen and take a look for me!"

As if roots had taken root on his feet, Liu Chengyou stood in front of the window without blinking his eyes, admiring the night view of the courtyard.The moonlight is very light, the light is very yellow, and the sight is not clear enough, but the shadows of the whirling trees are faintly visible under the breeze.

Originally thought that with Liu Xin's temperament, the threat came first, and there might be some overreactions, but Liu Chengyou was also well prepared to deal with it.However, it seems that he did not turn the narrow road to a dead end after all.

The Empress Dowager lives in the dormitory, and Liu Chengyou comes to see the ceremony at night.

Mrs. Li seemed to expect Liu Chengyou to come, so she prepared some food for him and asked, "I heard that you arrested Liu Xin?"

Liu Chengyou replied: "To be honest with the Queen Mother, Yushi Zhao Li impeached the emperor's uncle in front of all civil and military officials. I have to investigate impartially to satisfy the hearts of the people! Guo Gong has always been fair in dealing with things, and he will definitely not wrong the emperor. uncle!"

"In front of me, the officials don't have to say these words of coronation." Seeing Liu Chengyou's serious look, Li Shifeng's face was serious, and he directly broke the topic: "Then I have heard of Zhao Li in the inner court. You are famous for direct remonstrance, but how dare you sue Liu Xin on such an occasion?"

Liu Chengyou paused, put the cake with a gap in his hand back on the plate, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and met the Empress Dowager's gaze with a bit of bitterness on his mouth: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Empress Dowager's eyes, and I can't hide it from the Empress Dowager." You can't hide the eyes of the courtiers, and even the eyes of the emperor's uncle!"

Li said: "If the officials want to do what is right and right, why do they 'hide' what they say?"

"In today's world, it's not easy to do things in a legitimate way. Especially, this extremely difficult thing!" Liu Chengyou's tone was full of emotion.

Mrs. Li looked at Liu Chengyou: "I won't ask you anything else, how do you plan to deal with Uncle Huang?"

Frowning slightly, Liu Chengyou took a breath, looked around and said to him: "The crimes committed by the emperor's uncle cited by Zhao Li are deeply resented by the people."

"How do you plan to deal with Uncle Huang?" Shi Li asked again.

Feeling the persecution in this mother's mouth, Liu Chengyou paused, and still replied calmly: "I have entrusted Guo Qing with full power, and we still need to see the results of his interrogation and deal with it according to law!"

Hearing his answer, Mrs. Li sighed and didn't say anything more.
