I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 78 Case Handling

As soon as Chen Yi's incident came out, it immediately overwhelmed Luoyang's discussion of Luo Jun and Chen Wangchong's crimes.

According to Tingwei Yangxu's investigation, Yuan Shao's accusation was true, and Luo Jun did use Chen Guozhi's food privately.

When the Yellow Turbans rose again in Runan, both Pei and Chen showed signs of Yellow Turban invasion.

Chen Wangchong followed the example of the time when the Yellow Turbans first emerged. On the one hand, he increased his army, and on the other hand, he accepted the defection of the fleeing people of Runan and Pei.

Both of these require money and food as a foundation.

The State of Chen used the grain in its own granaries, but due to an "omission" did not report the used grain to the court. As a result, the grain in the court register was much more than the actual grain of the State of Chen.

It is hard not to wonder whether these extra people will disappear from the books due to "omissions" in Chen Guoshang's plan in the second half of the year.

Chen State is close to the disaster area. Liu Bian's plan was to transport all the grain to the disaster area first, and then replenish it from elsewhere to prepare for emergencies.

Luo Jun did not dare to write a letter to state the facts, so he had to direct and perform a food disappearing technique. However, he underestimated Yuan Shao's ability and courage.

As long as he had some clues, Yuan Shao would dare to blame Luo Jun, let alone Luo Jun.

If there had not been an emergency grain adjustment due to the flood, it would only take until next year for the grain in the granary to match the data on the books.

At present, judging from the results of the Yangxu trial, this case has nothing to do with Chen Wangchong.

Nowadays, the upper-level officials in the feudal states of the Han Dynasty are all appointed by the imperial court. They have no right to intervene in the domestic military or administrative affairs. They can only collect the country's taxes stipulated by law as salary.

Luo Jun allowed Chen Wangchong to control the army. Even with the Yellow Turban Rebellion as an excuse, as Yuan Shao said, this behavior itself was a capital crime.

The only one who needs to struggle is Chen Wangchong.

The sins committed by Luo Jun were placed on Chen Wangchong, and it became self-preservation. Moreover, Chen Wangchong indeed only rallied his troops when there was chaos.

To accuse him of treason would be to accuse him of slander.

Emperor Ling was also a little undecided.

He didn't want to bear the reputation of being a mean clan member, but he also wanted to vent his anger on himself.

But he quickly put this matter behind him because of Chen Yi. As for Liu Chong, he should be locked up for now, which would be considered as venting his anger.

……

Regarding the issue of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, Emperor Ling always believed that it was not him who was wrong, but the scholars of the world.

Now that the exact culprit of Chen Fan's son Chen Yi had been caught, Emperor Ling happily talked to Liu Bian about what to do with Chen Yi after he arrived safely in Luoyang.

Since the tour plan was canceled, Liu Bian hadn't seen Emperor Ling so happy for a long time, and he felt a little funny in his heart.

"I heard that there are many discussions in the government and the public. There are still people running for Chen Yi. They think that he has no actual rebellion and is being falsely accused. The Tingwei couldn't bear the disturbance and closed the door to thank the guests."

"So what, Chen Yi deserves to be punished for his crime! It's a wishful thinking to overturn his case!" Obviously, Emperor Ling had heard about the comments from the outside world, "It's just a good time to use this case to see if Yang Xu will show favoritism."

How could Emperor Ling let go of old and new grudges so easily?

In the final analysis, although this rebellion can be called a farce and it can be said that it did not cause any damage, rebellion is still rebellion after all, and the severity of the punishment is entirely controlled by the emperor.

Liu Bian asked: "How do you plan to deal with Chen Yi?"

"Conspiracy to rebel is to be treated as a barbarian!"

After Emperor Ling finished speaking, he saw Liu Bian looking at him with wide eyes. He was about to explain to Liu Bian, but he heard——

"Father, congratulations!" Liu Bian never thought that Emperor Ling would be so restrained now.

He knew that judging from the moral outlook at this time, Emperor Ling was very, very conservative in not choosing the common approach of the Yi Tribe.

There was no further investigation into officials who had contacts with Wang Fen and Chen Yi.

"I originally thought that if the involvement was expanded, I was afraid that the scholars would miss Chen Fan even more. Why not take this opportunity to show the world what gold and jade are on the outside but the corruption inside. At that time, the culprits will be killed, the canonical punishment will be clarified, and he can be pardoned His wife’s family and mother’s family are showing thunder and rain. Is it God’s grace? It turns out that my father thought of it earlier than I did!”

Liu Bian continued: "Now that the court is raging, Chen Yi can be tried in public and make him plead guilty. The son of the 'Three Lords' conspired to rebel, and those 'Baji' and 'Bagu' people have the nerve to do so. ?"

The so-called three monarchs, eight emperors, etc. were actually selected by the scholars themselves, and the main force among them were the original imperial students.

I'm afraid Liu Xiu, who promoted Taixue to great heights, never thought that Taixue had developed to the point of using public opinion to hijack the country's official selection and other systems.

And this kind of private selection has a strong regional character. In fact, this alone is enough to see the background of this selection.

Here, Emperor Ling smiled calmly after listening to Liu Bian's words. Yes, that's what he thought.

Liu Bian also probably understood Emperor Ling's attitude. He probably didn't want another party-related disaster, so he didn't mess around.

In case there are a few more Zhang Jian who "look at the door and stay there, making people lose their families and make them compatible".

At that time, the Han Dynasty will have no choice but to share the world with the eunuchs and eunuchs.

After hearing Emperor Ling's expression, Liu Bian understood that it was difficult to change his attitude.

However, Liu Bian originally just wanted Emperor Ling not to get involved, so he didn't say anything more.

However, most scholars now respect Chen Fan very much. Even Chen Yi and Chen Yi failed in their rebellion, and there are still people running for him.

If the trial in Luoyang cannot convict Chen Yi 100%, there will definitely be twists and turns.

For Xu You, Zhou Jing and others who had not yet been arrested, their parents and wives were also taken to Luoyang for trial by the local government, and their clans were also detained by the local government.

He also sent arrest documents to all counties and counties, and said that if these people can come forward and confess their crimes on their own, they can be exempted from the crime of their clan.

In the final analysis, subsequent punishments are secondary to making this case an ironclad case that cannot be excused.

After that, he talked about Jia Xu, who was the first to capture Chen Yi. Emperor Ling was so excited that he waved his hand and said: "Since he has become a bastard, he should be given another servant! Those who participated , and all rewards will be recorded."

Even as Chen Yi came to Beijing, disaster relief in Xuzhou and other places was still going on.

The governor of Xuzhou, Ba Zhuan, whose courtesy name was Jingzu, advocated frugality. It is said that one night a friend came to visit and he sat down to talk to him. Ba Zhu did not light the official candle and talked in the dark.

Frugality is a good thing, but if a person is frugal regardless of the occasion, or is famous for being frugal, that is another matter.

Taiwei Ma Rixi went eastward on a festival day, and the first place he went to was the seven counties that were affected by the disaster.

When he arrived in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Zhao Yu, a native of Langya, sued Ba Zhuan, the governor of Xuzhou, for depriving him of disaster relief food.

Zhao Yu was once promoted as a filial and honest man, served as a Langguan of the Third Department, and was sent to the county magistrate. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown, where he was quite famous in the local area.

Ma Rixi heard about Ba Zhu's reputation for thrift, so he sent someone to investigate first.

　The fever turned into a cold, and there was no one left, just happened to be on the shelves...
