Chapter 379: The Emperor is very angry, and the consequences are serious.
When they went to court, they muttered, and when they went down, everyone had strange expressions. Some imperial historians are even indignant in tandem, wanting to impeach Dai Xuan with a joint concert.
Yun Hao also felt that Dai Zhou had gone too far this time, although he had been an official for all these years, he could be regarded as knowing the mysteries of officialdom, but this time it was too mysterious. actually brought out a rootless chamberlain in the East Palace to take the blame! I don't know what Dai Xuan thinks, Li Er's cold eyes and Yun Hao trembled when he saw it. This time, Dai Xuan will be unlucky. This is almost everyone's unanimous opinion!
"Lao Dai is finished this time, just look at His Majesty's eyes, you can know that His Majesty didn't plan to fool the past this time." Lao Cheng sighed and shook his head helplessly. He has a good relationship with Dai Guan, and this time I don't know why, my old friend would make such a stupid move.
"The prince married Hou Junji's eldest daughter, and Dai Guan's youngest son married Hou Junji's second daughter. It is estimated that Lao Dai was influenced by his family. Niu Jinda also shook his head and said.
"It shouldn't be like this, it's hard for a person like Dai Zhou to be swayed by his family. It is likely that he guessed His Majesty's mind wrongly, and there is also Prince Bao's thoughts in it. Li Shentong leaned on the backrest and said with his eyes half-open and half-closed.
"You kid has the most clever mind, tell a few old men what kind of wind Dai Xuan is smoking." Lao Cheng saw that Yun Hao didn't speak, and yelled at Yun Hao.
"The kid is wondering how Dai Xuan tried the case yesterday!"
"Trial?" The three old guys stared at each other with big eyes and asked curiously.
"Dai Zhengqing must have been judged like this! Someone was sent to arrest Du He for questioning, and Du He said that it was done by the people below. Dai Zhengqing arrested the waiter, and the waiter said that the cowpox came from the cow and that the cow should be found.
Dai Zhengqing caught the cow, but the cow said that the grass was not good. Dai Zhengqing grabbed the grass, but the grass said that because his mother gave birth to him, he should find his mother.
After three trials and two trials, Dai Zhengqing finally figured it out. It turned out to be a sin of grass fucking! What a pity! The grass can't be found by the, so the waiter has to take the blame. ”
"Poof......! Hahaha! The sip of tea that Lao Cheng had just poured into his mouth immediately squirted out, but fortunately, when he squirted out, he turned his head in time and didn't spray Li Shentong's face.
Li Shentong laughed so hard that he coughed, his face turned from red to purple, and Yun Hao was so frightened that Yun Hao hurriedly helped the old man comb his back. Don't dare to learn from Niu Gao's fate, the old guys are the precious wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't care about the old man, if you can really laugh to death, it can be regarded as a good death for the old man. You kid, if you let Your Majesty know this, you will be dizzy. Li Shentong waved his hand to stop Yun Haodao.
"Lao Dai shouldn't be unlucky, he's tempting. He wanted to know if His Majesty's statement to find out if it was true, or if it was just a matter of saying. Just pull a cushion on your back, and just cut off your head with a click to relieve the anger of the people.
Now His Majesty has remanded for retrial, and Dai Xuan also knows that His Majesty really wants to kill a wave of people. Old slippery head! This time, whether Du He is unlucky or the prince is unlucky, no one can hate him. This kind of old fox is full of holes in his heart. Do you really think he's going to do a trick? ”
After listening to Yun Hao's words, Lao Cheng, Lao Niu and Li Shentong nodded one after another. Dai Guan, a professional bureaucrat, pays attention to doing things without leakage. It's harder to make him faint than to ascend to the sky. can sit on the top spot of the highest judicial yamen of the Tang Empire, is it an idle person?
Sure enough, Dai Zhou returned to Dali Temple to work overtime. Before the signatures of the imperial historians were complete, Dai Zhou retried this big case. In addition to digging out the umbrella Duhe hidden behind the scenes, he pointed the finger at the prince more clearly. According to him, the crown prince has an unshirkable leadership responsibility.
At the small court meeting the next day, Dai Zhou personally told the core figures of the Tang Dynasty the results of the trial. Everyone looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Du Ruhui's body. Everyone knows that it is impossible for the emperor to kill the crown prince, but it is difficult to say that Du Heke, the eldest son of the Du family.
"As I said, no matter who is involved in this matter, it must be investigated. Wearing a shirt can be omitted to report the forgotten person. Li Er said compassionately.
The ministers are cold in their hearts, they are all veterans for many years. I understand the character of His Majesty the Emperor very well, every time he talks like this, it is usually when he wants to kill someone.
"Your Majesty! Fifteen prisoners are now in custody and will only be convicted after His Majesty's judgment. This is the Dali Temple in accordance with the Tang Dynasty law to draw up the Chen, 15 prisoners. Thirteen people should be hanged, the first offender Du He, the second offender Huang Jing was sentenced to the punishment of Dapi, please Your Majesty! Dai Xuan's voice did not show the slightest daring, and he held his hands above his head.
Zhao Jiang took the piece with both hands and held it to Li Er to watch.
"What should the prince do?" Li Er glanced at Tiao Chen, rolled his eyes and said.
"The crown prince has a noble status, and please ask Your Majesty to cut it personally!" There was no expression on Dai Xuan's face, and the whole person was like a wooden man.
"Hmmm! Prince......! Li Er groaned for a moment, and was about to go crazy. Obviously, Li Erxin already has a draft in his heart. Just wait for Dai Xuan to say this!
"Father! The son has something to report! As soon as Li Er's words began, Li Tai suddenly stood up. Li Er was stunned, not knowing what Li Tai was going to do when he jumped out at this time.
Li Chengqian, who was standing under Dan Fan, was drenched in cold sweat on his head, and glared at this younger brother viciously. This time he was unlucky to get home, and this kid fell into the well at this time. As long as Lao Tzu breathes this breath, he will definitely kill you.
Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian calmly, and actually smiled at Li Chengqian.
"Qingque, what do you have to say?" Li Er said in a deep voice. He doesn't like to be interrupted, not even his favorite Li Tai.
"Father! As the prince of the princely kingdom, the eldest brother has to study government affairs every day. I also have to complete the homework assigned by my husband, and I have to learn etiquette and other things. Under the complexity of all things, it is inevitable that there will be occasional non-investigation. The son begged his father not to be too harsh on the eldest brother. After Li Tai finished speaking, he actually knelt down with the sleeves of his robe.
"Qingque'er, you get up first." Li Er was stunned for a moment, and he began to think that Li Tai was here to fall into the well. Unexpectedly, Li Tai actually interceded for Li Chengqian. Li Er was a little moved, he was also a brother. How could he not meet such a brother, Li Jiancheng deliberately wanted to kill himself. Li Yuanji seems to be at odds with himself!
If I had such a brother back then, maybe it wouldn't have been to the point of bloodshed.
"Father! Erchen is the younger brother of the eldest brother, and the green finch is stubborn on weekdays, which also makes the eldest brother think a lot. The eldest brother has today's things, and there are also reasons for his sons. The sons implored their fathers to send the eldest brother lightly, and the sons were willing to replace him. Li Tai couldn't get up on his knees.
"Qingque, get up, I will deal with your eldest brother carefully." Li Er looked at his youngest son lovingly, and almost walked down to help him personally.
"Qingque has been successful in studying and cultivating virtue in recent years, and she has grown very much. Crowned King Wei as the governor of Yangzhou! Cen Wenwen taught well, and he was crowned with a silver Qingguanglu doctor. Li Er saw Li Tai happily standing beside Cen Wenwen, and immediately understood in his heart that this was taught by Cen Wenwen. It's not bad, this Cen text still has some readers' bones. did not take advantage of the prince's bad luck to teach Li Tai to fall into the well. That's a man of integrity!
Li Tai thanked him and stood up, and he couldn't help but be excited. After acting in this play, his fiefdom expanded by more than 200 miles. It seems that this kind of drama will have to be performed more in the future.
"Cheng Qian! There are green sparrows who intercede for you, and I forgive your sins. You go to the Zongren's Mansion and receive fifty court staffs. Go back to the East Palace to introspect and be grounded for a month. Others, etc., shall be punished according to the Dali Temple's proposed crime. Tomorrow, officials above the fourth grade in Beijing will go to the court to watch the execution to set an example! Li Eryi announced the punishment of Li Chengqian in a row!
"Thank you, Lord Ron!" As soon as Li Er finished speaking, Cen Wenwen stood up and bowed in thanks. Li Er was too anxious to speak just now, and Cen Wenwen didn't interject.
Seeing Cen Wenwen, Li Er suddenly remembered. The eyes suddenly fell on Kong Yingda beside Li Chengqian, Li Tai's teacher taught well, but Li Chengqian's teacher was not very good. The more I look at Kong Yingda, the more unpleasant it becomes, a good prince actually let him teach this virtue. Bullshit vetch!
"The prince is immoral, and the Taifu is to blame! Kong Yingda became the general manager of Lingnan Road, and went to govern Lingnan for me! Li Er was really tired of Kong Yingda, so he simply sent the old gentleman directly to Lingnan. Although the official position is terrifying, everyone knows what kind of place Lingnan is. Even if he was a thorn in the Central Plains, he didn't want to go to Lingnan to be a big manager.
Kong Yingda's body trembled, and he would be seventy in a few years. This old bone went to Lingnan, and there was little hope of coming back alive. His body shook a little, and he walked out like a walking corpse. Bent down deeply, "Thank you!" ”
Cen Wenwen straightened up and returned to Li Tai's side. The two teachers are grateful, and the results are completely different.
"That's all for today's matter, retreat!" Li Er didn't want to see Kong Yingda's appearance, and when he saw that the matter was disposed of, he walked out of the Taiji Hall first with an order.
"Poof!" Kong Yingda's eyes went dark and fell to the ground.
"Taifu!" Li Chengqian hurriedly hugged his teacher ......!
Li Tai and Cen Wenwen glanced at each other, and walked towards the entrance of the hall in both directions. Yun Hao stood in his place, looking at the elegant and elegant Cen Wenwen, as if he saw a monster. This IQ, this wrist, if Cao Cao is alive, that's it!
Seeing the two of them walk out of the Taiji Hall, Yun Hao was about to go to see how Kong Yingda was doing. But I saw Du Ruhui standing like a clay sculpture carved from wood, his chaotic voice was deaf, and the wat board in his hand was held upright, as if he was in the last dynasty.
Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Mou made a decision. Now that Du Ruyan has fallen to such an end, tomorrow he will be on the court and see his son beheaded with his own eyes. I want to go forward and persuade you, but I don't know how to persuade you. Du He's crime is indeed a capital crime, and the people are right.
Ay......! This is the end of the premature layout for the family, I thought that letting my son attach to the prince would ensure that the Du family would be favored forever. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Let's go!" Cheng Yanjin pulled Yun Hao's sleeve, and the two of them walked out of the Taiji Hall together with Niu Jinda.
The news soon spread in the form of a wildfire, and the whole of Chang'an was boiling. The emperor did not fool the people this time, for the sake of a few people's children, he actually wanted to kill the prime minister's eldest son. It seems that this court is still worth trusting.
On the edge of the court the next day, there was even a sea of people. Those bitter masters hugged their heads and cried, and shouted and cursed hoarsely. Some of the bold ones even smashed them with stones. The Jinwu guards who were in charge of maintaining order captured several people before they could be suppressed.
With Li Er's will, all the officials above the fifth grade in the capital have arrived. There was a big lump standing under the sun, and Li Erduan sat on the city tower. Looking at the crowd below, I looked back. Suddenly asked, "Where is Keming?" ”
"After Keming went down to the court yesterday, he occasionally felt a cold wind and took a leave today!" Fang Xuanling saw the emperor and asked, and hurriedly gave Du Ruhui a round. Who wants to watch their own son being chopped in two.
"I really said that officials above the fifth grade in Beijing have to come to watch the sentence and are not allowed to take leave. Keming, as a servant, how could he not lead by example. Zhao Jiang, you go and please. Li Er snorted inside his nose, and Fang Xuanling closed his mouth knowingly. The emperor was angry, and the consequences were serious. It seems that the Du family is about to experience a catastrophe.
Seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Du Ruhui hurriedly came to Li Erjia in an official uniform. bowed to Li Er, and when he saw Li Er nodding slightly, he found a chair and sat down.
Three o'clock in the afternoon soon came, and the people became more and more noisy. Yun Hao actually found a lot of small snacks in the crowd, and there were really people who were eating melon seeds while waiting to see the killing. In order to see more clearly, the naughty children went up to the house and the trees and walls. Anyway, wherever it is high, you can climb wherever you go, Yun Hao is very afraid that it will be too tragic when he kills people for a while, and it will not be good to fall a few people in fear.
"Your Majesty, the warden requests execution." Dai Xuan walked up to Li Er and said.
"Execution!" Li Er stopped drinking, and Dai Zhou walked out with the arrow in person. The Tang Dynasty executes prisoners every year, but this is the first time that the emperor personally supervised the beheading.
"By order! Execute! Dai Guan's voice spread far away, and the noise of the entire Dharma Hall suddenly quieted down. Occasionally, the crying of children was quickly covered by the adults in the family.
It was so quiet! The executioner, whose head was wrapped in red silk, carried a large knife with a devil's head, and took a sign card that was inserted behind his back. As soon as his foot kicked behind Duhe, Duhe's entire body crawled on the guillotine. The cold light flashed, and the ghost-headed knife hand rose and fell. Du He was split in half!
The knife was clean and clean, and it was cut off from the bones to the intestines. The miserable howl in Duhe's mouth was like that of an evil spirit in hell. Half of the blood on his body rushed like a waterfall. The weak intestines fell out all at once. Soon dyed red by blood, the lower half of Du He's body was lying quietly, but the upper half of his body was rolling on the ground.
The crowd retreated as if they had exploded. Looking at half of Du He's body, he kept struggling and howling on the guillotine. In the end, Du He actually stood with his own blood in his hands and wrote seven huge tragic characters on the guillotine. Huang Jing, the chamberlain next to him, was scared to death by the tragic scene before he could be killed. But the executioner doesn't care about this, the dead and the living are the same, and they all have to be stabbed anyway.
Cold sweat oozed from Du Ruhui's head, and his face was whiter than the white ash on the wall.
