Chapter 427 Virtue is at a loss

The drizzle condenses into beads on the iron armor, and then rolls down like pearls, the armor soldiers on the hall hold swords, condense into statues in the drizzle, and the iron armor that has been cleaned by the rain emits a cold light in the autumn wind, and the Zhulan, the jade pillar, and the Biwa together perform solemn loneliness.

The chill in the hall diffused in everyone's hearts, and the Son of Heaven was angry, but there was no sound of half a pillar of incense, and many people trembled, and as long as they shouted, they would immediately kneel to the ground. Quiet, the sound of crumbling teeth sounded from nowhere, and Li Mingyi felt that the board in his hand had become slippery and difficult to grasp, and the next moment it would fall off from his sweaty hands.

The storm is approaching, and Kong Province hurriedly went out of class and played: "Long live the anger." During the Warring States Period, Zeng Yun, the king of Great Qin, 'the anger of the Son of Heaven, ambushed millions of corpses, and shed thousands of miles of blood', long live the anger, the ministers trembled, and the world was shaken. Today, the four seas are one, the government is harmonious, the people are healthy, although there is a slight problem of ringworm, but it does not affect the peace of the world, please live the world, take care of the dragon body, and be cautious of thunderous anger. ”

Hearing these words, Shi Fang's heart was comfortable, and his anger was greatly reduced, and he was trying to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, so that the matter of Huazhou would return to the word "drag".

Two days ago, Shi Fangzhen had already discussed with the two prime ministers, the matter of Huazhou was said to be reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, and Chen Chengji, the left minister, suggested that it would be discussed after the year, and the situation would be clear, and the most important thing was that it could be decided depending on how much commercial tax Jiang Anyi levied, and Shi Fangzhen thought so.

Before Shi Fangzhen could speak, a person flashed out of the court's class, and said in a loud voice: "Long live Lu Jialin, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, and only then did Master Zhou, the young eunuch of Likuang, report that Jiang Anyi contained the rebellion against Lu Ziyue in the court, and the ministers asked Long Live to send Long Wei to investigate in detail." Although he was expelled from the house, he was still disgraced by Lu Ziyue, and he was sentenced to death after Lu Ziyue was captured......

Lu Jialin made a generous statement, and Shi Fang was really angry when he heard it.

"Shut up", Shi Fangzhen slapped the table case heavily, and shouted: "Lu Jialin, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you are so vicious to your brother, regardless of your brotherhood, which really disappoints me. ”

Jiang Anyi had secretly reported Lu Ziyue's matter, and Shi Fangzhen secretly sent Long Wei to investigate Lu Ziyue's situation after learning about the situation. As Jiang Anyi said, Lu Zigao was replaced by his grandfather with his brother Lu Jialin, and was later exiled to Huangren County, Huazhou, which coincided with the invasion of the Western Regions and was taken captive, but in fact he did not collude with foreign enemies. But Lu Ziyue's case was an unjust case when Emperor Zhao was found, the son did not say anything about his father's fault, and in the past 20 years, Shi Fangzhen did not want to offend the Lu family because of him, so he acquiesced to Jiang Anyi's take-in, so the matter was stopped.

Unexpectedly, someone turned over the old case in the court to attack Jiang Anyi, and had to make Shi Fangzhen suspicious, who was hiding evil intentions, public weapons for private use, Shi Fangzhen glared at Lu Jialin angrily, this whistleblower letter came from Dengzhou, could it be that the Lu family killed Lu Ziyue more and more? Lu Ziyue returned to Dazheng from the Western Regions with Jiang Anyi four years ago, and then he has been living in the Jiang Mansion and has not gone out, the informant must have learned the news four years ago, why did he only report today, and what is his intention?

As the Son of Heaven, he had to weigh the relationship and maintain the balance in the court, so he knew that Jiang Anyi was tainted and still tried to appease the emotions of all parties with delay, and waited for the tax to be paid before disposal. But the dragon has reverse scales, and the copper box is the real reverse scale of the stone side. At the beginning, Shi Fangzhen tried his best to restart Tongkuang, and there were many opponents, including Wei Yishen, the former minister who had already paid tribute.

Since the establishment of Tongkuang, it has received some policies for governing the country and rehabilitated some civil unjust cases, but it is far from Shi Fang's real expectations, and there have been many things that have taken the opportunity to slander, and there have been voices in the court asking for the removal of Tongkuang, which makes Shi Fangzhen stubborn, and removing Tongkuang is like admitting defeat, where is the face of the Son of Heaven. As long as he heard the word Tongkuang, Shi Fangzhen was extremely nervous, and no one was allowed to object.

After learning about Lu Ziyue from Long Wei, Shi Fangzhen was very disdainful of the Lu family, the reason why Lu Jialin's grandfather Lu Dingquan let Lu Jialin and Lu Ziyue exchange each other, in the name of brother not living behind the younger brother, was actually just Lu Jialin was the eldest concubine, and Lu Ziyue was the concubine. The so-called Shilin Meitan is just a superficial article, and many people behind it ridicule Brother Lu Jialin for taking the position of younger brother and despise him as a person. So Lu Ziyue's existence became a thorn in Lu Jialin's heart, and Lu Dingquan, who was the head of the household at the time, found a reason to drive Lu Ziyue to Huazhou, out of sight. But even so, the Lu family still did not allow Lu Ziyue to marry the merchant's daughter, accused her of corrupting the family, and hastily agreed on a family affair for him. Later, the Western Regions invaded Lu Ziyue and was taken captive, because Zhuo Niang, the daughter of Mu Fuyun, the left commander of the Western Regions, was regarded as a rebellion, and the Lu family not only did not exonerate him, but expelled him from the portal, regardless of his life or death.

Today, above the palace, Lu Jialin's appearance of killing his relatives with righteousness really made Shi Fangzhen disgusted, how could there be such a hypocrite in my court, and the cold-blooded thing was actually said so high-sounding.

The matter of Huazhou is like a rocker, Jiang Anyi is in charge, the ministers of the family are many powerful, Shi Fangzhen has the balance, but Zhou Sihe's report will break the balance, Kong Youxiang's few words will pull the rocker back, and Lu Jialin is on fire, like a heavy object smashed on one end of the rocker, forcing the Son of Heaven to express his position, how can Shi Fangzhen not be annoyed.

Poor Lu Jialin didn't know why the Son of Heaven was angry, and explained: "The minister is not disregarding the feelings of brotherhood, then Lu Ziyue has been unruly and unruly since he was a child, colluding with foreign enemies to become a rebel, his grandfather died of anger and illness, and the family was disgraced by it. The minister is patriotic and loyal to the king, please long live the discernment. ”

"Hahahaha, what a patriotic and loyal heart." Shi Fangzhen laughed loudly, the laughter was loud but there was no smile, the ministers heard it coldly, Lu Jialin's scalp was numb for a while, and the secret way was not good, he was angry with the Son of Heaven, and he was afraid that he would become a punching bag.

"Jiang Anyi's reception of Lu Ziyue, after he returned from the Western Regions, he made it clear to me, and avenged Lu Ziyue in the recital. I immediately sent Long Wei to Huazhou to find out the situation, and by the way, I inquired about the cause and effect of the matter. ”

The words of the Son of Heaven made many people's hearts sink, calculating that it has been more than four years since Jiang Anyi returned to Beijing from the Western Regions, and the Son of Heaven endured it, and only today did he reveal the truth, obviously acquiescing in Jiang Anyi's approach. In Lu Ziyue's case, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was wronged, and this matter became a taboo, and everyone kept silent. However, the copper supervisor threw out the past in the court today, which seems to have ulterior motives.

Zhou Sihe's face turned pale, Wang Kefu shrank in fright, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, thanks to his own heart, he didn't report it in person, otherwise a reprimand would be indispensable.

Lu Jialin was the person concerned, and was stunned by the words of the Son of Heaven, and there was only one thought in his buzzing head, what should I do if the incident happened back then.

Reluctantly listened to the voice of the Son of Heaven and said, "Grandfather has passed away, and I don't want to comment on it. The master once said that a gentleman has eight virtues: filial piety, loyalty, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame. ”

This accusation is serious, all the scholars in the world regard themselves as gentlemen, the eight virtues mentioned by the master are the standards of moral behavior, and if they violate one rule, they will be poked in the backbone, the Son of Heaven accuses Lu Jialin of losing morality, and spreads it out like this, what is Lu Jialin's face, he is the head of the Lu family, and even the Lu family can't raise his head.

Lu Jialin's eyes were red, and he protested loudly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister does not dare to disobey, but long live the unwarranted accusation of the minister, the minister does not dare to accept it." ”

The wind and rain outside the hall are getting more and more urgent, and the copper bell at the corner of the eaves is blown by the wind to "edge" crisp sound, and the sky above the empty hall is getting colder and colder. The torrential rain rustled down on the armor warriors, and the warriors quietly retreated a few steps under the eaves, and the voice of the Son of Heaven in the main hall reached their ears through the window lattice.

"Unwarranted accusations, am I a very unreasonable dumb king? Okay, I talked to Lu Aiqing. Shi Fangzhen stood up from the throne, stood on the high steps, and looked at Lu Jialin condescendingly, anyone could hear the sarcasm in the three words "Lu Aiqing" in the tone of the Son of Heaven, and the officials who were good friends with Lu Jialin all pinched a cold sweat for him, and the officials from the family made eye contact, ready to speak for Lu Jialin when they saw the opportunity.

"Let's talk about it first, brotherhood and friendship help each other. As an elder brother, you have taken away your brother's fame, and you are at peace and in peace, but you are a friend. ”

Lu Jialin already knows that things are difficult today, and if he takes a step back, the Lu family will be doomed, and he can only take half a step, relying on the strength of the family around him, it may be possible to get through the difficulties.

Quickly glancing at the officials around him, Lu Jialin responded: "Long live, the minister is not trying to exchange for Lu Ziyue's fame, the minister's grandfather thinks that the younger brother is not in line with the etiquette in front of the brother, and the minister is forced by the ancestors, and it is precisely by obeying a filial piety that he bears the notoriety and does something that makes people criticized. Long live the reproach is that the minister admits his mistake. ”

Speaking of emotion, Lu Jialin also shed a few sad tears, thinking about giving the Son of Heaven a step and getting off the stage for each other.

How do you know that Shi Fangzhen was furious, and refused to let him go easily, and sneered: "Since you know that your grandfather's life is wrong, why don't you fight for it and put the fault on your grandfather, but you enjoy the glory yourself, what kind of filial piety is it, what kind of etiquette do you talk about?" Grandfather Er's death has been gone for many years, why didn't you explain it to the court, but let Lu Ziyue live in Huazhou. After Lu Ziyue was taken captive, someone accused him of colluding with foreign enemies, why did you, as a brother, ignore it, but want to put him to death and hurry up, I'm afraid that what you are uneasy about is that Lu Ziyue returned home and faced him shamelessly. Guaner's words and deeds, words are insincere, and hypocrisy is unbelief. What is the shame of those who do not believe, and how can they talk about loyalty and patriotism? ”

The string of questions poked into Lu Jialin's heart like a knife, Lu Jialin was discouraged, staggering and unsteady, and a mouthful of reverse blood sprayed on the Golden Palace, crimson and dazzling.

The people around him cast their eyes of pity on Lu Jialin, who was considered by the Son of Heaven to be unfilial, untidy, rude, disloyal, unbelieving, and shameless, how could they have the face to stand on the court again. Lu Jialin is finished, Lu family is finished. ”

Shang Shuding of the Ministry of War was very quick with his eyes, and he helped Lu Jialin to plant forward, and Lu Jialin fainted.

Standing on the high stairs, Shi Fangzhen stretched out his hand and stroked at His Highness's ministers, and said, "After Zhongqing went back, he said to the master about the eight virtues, think about whether he has a loss of virtue and is he worthy of being a gentleman?" ”

After speaking, Shi Fangzhen turned around and left.

The Son of Heaven left, there was a dead silence in the main hall, Li Mingyi's legs were weak, and he sat down on the golden palace, his back was cold, and he felt afraid. If it weren't for Lu Shangshu to prevent the disaster for himself, I am afraid that it would be himself who spurted blood in the hall today, and the fate of the Lu family, like the Li family, would become stormy.

(In the past few days, I have been on a business trip, and I have taken the time to read the chapters I have written, and I am ashamed that the outline was too extensive at that time, which caused a lot of loopholes.) Among them, commercial taxation involves the recent chapter, and after thinking about it, I wrote a supplementary explanation, which can be regarded as self-justification. The original commercial tax was set as 1 out of 30, but later it was written as 1 out of 10 in some places, which contradicted each other. The commercial tax is set at 30 out of 1, and salt, iron, tea, wine, medicinal materials, etc. are separately stipulated, and the border market transaction is a bulk foreign trade transaction, and the commercial tax is 1 out of 10. Merchants from the Western Regions came to the Yongchang Imperial Capital in the name of tribute, and in order to create a prosperous scene of all countries coming to the court and the imperial capital, the merchants in the East and West Regions were taxed at 30 out of 1, which was regarded as a preferential treatment for Hu merchants and encouraged tribute. The reason why the merchants of Huazhou refused to trade in the border market was because the commercial tax in the border market had tripled, and the commercial tax was much lower because they trafficked goods to the east and west markets under the guise of merchants from the Western Regions. Jiang Anyi sent Hua Sicheng to inspect the caravan, just to verify whether the caravan belonged to the merchants of the Western Regions or the merchants in the territory, so the setting made sense on the surface. )()
