Chapter 63: Becoming a Villain (Part II)
Li Xun looked at He Tingxuan, he was hit in the nose by Li Xiao, and he had been wiping his tears there, and he was much better at the moment, but his nose was bruised, which looked quite funny.
"Lord He, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
He Tingxuan glanced at Li Xiao with hatred, and said loudly: "In the battle of words, how can you beat people?" Whoever makes the first move is the fault of whom. ”
Li Xiao said disdainfully: "A few untouchable people, just beat them, accompany them with some money, what's the big deal?" ”
He Tingxuan said angrily: "The imperial court has its own law, how can it be solved by money? ”
Li Xiao yelled: "Who are you who dare to take care of the master's affairs?" ”
"Since you are a patrol officer, you have the right to arrest the offender, and you have heard the reason for the incident, what are you waiting for?"
He Tingxuan no longer paid attention to Li Xiao and said to the captain and officer.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
"In the Xiahe Tingxuan, it is the Imperial History Observatory to supervise the Imperial History."
The captain officer had a wry smile on his face, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that his head hurt badly, the supervision of the imperial historian is not big, but the rights are very wide, including the responsibility of supervising prison lawsuits, the whole thing is obviously Li Xiao's fault, if he is a smiling tiger and lets Li Xiao go, He Tingxuan only needs to participate in a book in front of the emperor, and he is a small captain, I am afraid that the loss of official positions is light, and if he doesn't do well, he will face prison.
Li Xun said with a smile: "Lord He will go to the court tomorrow to participate in the emperor on this matter, if you let Li Xiao go, you will be responsible for the crime, you will think it out yourself." ”
"Then you hit me, there is nothing wrong?"
Li Xiao pointed at Li Xun and shouted angrily.
Li Xun was stunned, coughed dryly, and pretended to be stubborn: "Later, I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to surrender myself, and there is no need for you to talk too much there." ”
Li Xun pulled He Tingxuan away, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tingxuan, that person is the son of Li Zhong, the king of An, I just said that you will meet the emperor tomorrow on this matter, just to scare him, don't take it seriously." ”
He Tingxuan glanced at Li Xun and said unhappily: "What are you talking about, even if you don't say it, I will go to the emperor tomorrow and participate in Li Zhong's godson's lax mistakes." ”
Li Xun coughed dryly, and the guilt in his heart was a little better, he just wanted to make a big deal about it, so he said those words and pushed He Tingxuan to the front, after all, the other party is the son of the prince, He Tingxuan is a small supervision of the imperial history, and he may not dare to offend the other party, but now it seems that he is too worried, with He Tingxuan's character, how can he be afraid of the other party's power, and keep his mouth shut?
Looking at Li Xun and the others going away, the lieutenant officer really wanted to cry without tears, turned to look at Li Xiao, and said, "Little prince, please come with me!" ”
Li Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "You are a little lieutenant, and you dare to arrest me?" ”
The lieutenant officer is now riding a tiger, the one named Li Xun is obviously going to make a big deal about it, once he lets Li Xiao go, all the sins have to be borne by himself, it is better to arrest Li Xiao directly and act impartially, even if Li Xiao makes trouble for himself afterwards, it is a big deal that this official does not do it, at least he will not lose his life.
Thinking of this, the lieutenant officer no longer hesitated, so he could only bite the bullet and order to the left and right: "Arrest everyone for me and send them to Jingzhao Mansion." ”
The lieutenant officer's subordinates don't care what Li Xiao's background is, they just need to obey the order, even if something happens, they are also borne by the lieutenant officer, and it has nothing to do with them, so after the lieutenant officer gave the order, several soldiers stepped forward to hold up the yelling Li Xiao and dragged him to Jingzhao Mansion.
.....................
After Li Xun sent back He Tingxuan, he went to Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongyuan is an iron-faced and selfless official, after asking the reason, he immediately let people beat Li Xiao for 30 boards, and then put him in prison, and he was convicted, and although Li Xun shot righteously, he shot too hard, and was also beaten ten boards by Liu Zhongyuan, and then let him go.
At the court meeting the next day, He Tingxuan really wrote to Zhao Zhi on this matter, explained the reason for the matter, and then joined Li Zhong's book, saying that his godson was not strict.
Zhao Zhi and Li Zhong used to worship heaven in their early years, they were monarchs and ministers, and they were brothers, and they had an excellent relationship, He Tingxuan was not afraid of power and spoke up, Zhao Zhi was still quite appreciative, so he didn't condemn him, but just talked about "This matter will be handled by Jingzhao Mansion", not mentioning Li Zhong, the king of An, after all, Li Zhong led the troops to guard Anbei all the year round, worked hard, and was loyal to Zhao Zhi, how could Zhao Zhi blame Li Zhong for such a trivial matter?
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Zhong's mother, Wang, entered the palace to find Zhao Zhi and interceded for her grandson Li Xiao.
Zhao Zhi has a lot of respect for the mother of his righteous brother Li Zhong, and he is commensurate with his mother-in-law, and he persuaded him with good words, saying that he would immediately order someone to summon Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongyuan and let him let Li Xiao go.
"Dog, why did you hit Li Xiao?"
Li Xun stood behind Zhao Zhi in a military uniform, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly stood up, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Emperor, before I made a move, I didn't know that the other party was Li Zhong's son. ”
Zhao Zhi snorted: "Other people's disputes, what do you have to do with you, meddle in things." ”
Li Xun said: "Uncle Emperor, if it is an ordinary dispute, it is difficult for me to care, but that Li Xiao deceived people too much, relying on the large number of people, and beat those people into human shapes, if I don't make a move, those people will probably be killed on the spot, the dog is on the side, and I really can't bear it." ”
Zhao Zhi closed his eyes and was silent.
Li Xun secretly glanced at Zhao Zhi, I am afraid that the life and death of several people will not be able to enter Zhao Zhi's eyes, at this moment, he is still a little angry with himself, after thinking about it, he doesn't care so much, and said again: "Then Li Xiao is also too arrogant, I said that tomorrow's son will break the law and be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he will be pressed by the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, but he is actually speaking wildly, saying that the law can control the Son of Heaven, but he can't control him." ”
Zhao Zhi opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.
Zhao Zhi knows a little about the security problems in the capital, and the new Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongyuan is an upright official, who has written several times, stating that the forbidden soldiers who manage the security in the city have many extortion and extortion, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, so that the children of the powerful are arrogant and unscrupulous, and do many illegal things, but they are still at large.
But Zhao Zhi has no mind to pay attention to this matter at present, the battle of Jiangnan, although it has achieved a big victory, but it has also consumed a lot of money and food, the Hu people in Mobei are becoming stronger and stronger, in order to maintain the huge military defense force in Anbei, the consumption of military funds is getting heavier and heavier, and the imperial court has been somewhat unable to deal with it, and now Tufan is also a change, and it is necessary to transfer troops and prepare a large amount of money and food, the imperial court can't afford it at all, and some officials have begun to write to the letter, suggesting that the number of soldiers of the three armies of the forbidden army be reduced, Zhao Zhi has not paid attention to it, But now that the ministers of the political hall have also begun to discuss this matter, Zhao Zhi has been unable to escape, but this matter is very important, and the entanglement of interests is too complicated, Zhao Zhi has been thinking hard about how to deal with it recently.
Li Xun saw that Zhao Zhi was thinking about things there in a daze, and he didn't follow for a long time, so he called out a few times: "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor...."
Zhao Zhi glared at Li Xun, and said angrily: "Li Xiao is the son of my righteous brother, if you say a few rampant words, can I still kill him?" Besides, you beat him like that, and I didn't trouble you, so you kid should be glad you did. ”
Li Xun said: "Uncle Emperor, don't let Li Xiao do anything about it, the dog doesn't dare to mention it again, what the dog wants to say is that those powerful people simply have no king's law, and regard resignation as child's play, such a scene, the dog has seen it more than once, and he is really resentful in his heart, and he also asked the emperor's uncle to give me a thousand soldiers, which will be led by me to clean up public order." ”
Zhao Zhi sneered: "How many catties and taels do you have, don't I know that you have this ability?" ”
Li Xun raised his head and said loudly: "If you don't try, how do you know that I can't do it?" ”
Mu Gong glanced at Li Xun and whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, the dog is young and vigorous, and it is the time to make meritorious contributions, so it is not impossible to give him a chance." ”
Zhao Zhi had a bitter look on his face: "Mu Gong, you don't know the situation in the imperial court, where do I have the money to mess around with this stinky boy?" ”
Li Xun arched his hand and said: "Such a trivial matter, don't bother the emperor's uncle, didn't the emperor's uncle reward his father with 500 dumps of land?" The dogs were willing to take it out and recruit strong men from among the outcasts to be soldiers. ”
Zhao Zhi's eyes narrowed, and after listening to Li Xun's words, he suddenly felt a little moved, at the end of each year in the cold winter, many landless displaced people will gather outside the city, and the imperial court can't ignore it, it is also a big consumption, and now Li Xun is willing to take out five hundred tons of land to recruit soldiers, which can just reduce the burden on the imperial court, which is indeed a good thing, and in recent times, Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongyuan has written several times, saying that he wants to rectify the security in the city, but he is suffering from the lack of soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion, and asks for additional manpower.
Zhao Zhi pondered for a moment, looked at Li Xun, and said lightly: "Staying by my side, it's so boring?" ”
Li Xun knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "No matter where you go, the saint will always be the emperor's uncle of the dog." ”
Zhao Zhi nodded, but there was a smile on his face.
