Chapter 5047 Wei Chen resigns
Liu Xiangdao raised his head, looked at the students who had been lingering in the rain for a long time, and said: "The state has national laws and families have family rules. No matter who breaks the law or violates the rules, they will be punished by national laws and regulations. They can be reviewed by the Yushitai and interrogated by the Three Laws Division. However, The only thing you should not do is gather a crowd to denounce or try to use public opinion As for forcibly interfering with the national law, if everything is like this, how can the national law exist? Listen to me, this matter must be discussed by your majesty and the ministers, and then it will be made clear to the world. Now, you must disperse quickly and return to your respective residences. Don’t make trouble if you make unreasonable comments!”
The situation has developed beyond expectations and is full of troubles. If the students continue to be unyielding and noisy, the situation will worsen.
The final result is unpredictable.
Zhu Wenyuan and Liu Xiang looked at each other without trace, and then nodded: "Since Yatai has come forward, we will naturally follow the instructions. We just hope that we will not make a big matter a trivial matter, or make it a trivial matter, and finally let it go."
Liu Xiangdao frowned and said displeased: "How can the court's laws be tolerated? If the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, no matter who it is, they will be severely punished, but they must not coerce the court and ignore the national law based on rumors. No need to say more. , please retreat quickly!”
Zhu Wenyuan turned around and said loudly: "If Yatai comes forward, discipline will be cleared and justice will be maintained. We will go back now."
All the students were in an uproar.
Some people are dissatisfied: "We have gathered here at the risk of violating national laws, just for justice and the truth. There is no answer yet, how can we be so hasty?"
"Zhang Zixuan's ranking in the imperial examination is far lower than ours, but the officials we confer are either county magistrates or county lieutenants, and their ranks are as low as subordinate officials. Without Fang Jun's operation, Zhang Zixuan can directly enter the six departments ? The facts are there and the evidence is clear. If you want to review it, please review it now! Send us away and this matter will definitely go away.”
"Also, Cai Ben's death is not as simple as his wife said. Why did the imperial censor not dare to interrogate in public, but instead detained the murderer? Is it possible that he wanted to cover up the truth, shield the murderer, and lead to an unjust, false, and wrong case? ”
"The reason why we mobilize troops and mobilize people like this is not for our own benefit, but to maintain the rigor of the law. There is no reason to give up halfway! Zhu Wenyuan, you are obedient and obedient to the imperial censor. Are you willing to be the court hawk?"
Even if the students present failed to pass the imperial examination, most of them were from aristocratic families. They were knowledgeable and well-informed, and they had already realized that something was not right.
You were the one who asked us to come, and now you are the one who persuades us to leave. What are your hidden intentions?
Zhu Wenyuan was sweating a little. He was naturally frightened when his thoughts were exposed in public. If the whole thing was exposed, he would be in big trouble. Not to mention his reputation, how could he still have a foothold among the scholars?
He quickly defended: "Yatai is fair and honest, has high morals and respects, and is the leader of the elite in the world. How can you be so rude? We came here to knock on the door and petition. Although it is out of public interest, it is actually against the rules. Your Majesty does not think it is disobedient. , Yatai even personally reviewed Reason, what else can you be dissatisfied with? Being a treacherous person is not determined by us, and it must be reviewed no matter what. Don’t be impulsive! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to be unreasonable? ”
Everyone was still not angry, but because of Liu Xiangdao's face, they stopped talking.
Seeing the students leaving en masse, and the people and officials who came to watch also leaving one after another, Liu Xiangdao breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Li Anqi aside, and asked sternly: "What's going on? It's just a group of people who can't carry their shoulders and can't carry their hands." They are just scholars who cannot be mentioned. Even if they gather together, there will be no big trouble. Why is there such a bad thing like death? "
His father, Liu Linfu, served successively as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He had a good relationship with Li Anqi's father, Li Baiyao. When Liu Xiangdao was young, he studied with Li Baiyao. Although he did not have the name of master and apprentice, he was actually a master and apprentice. Therefore, he has always regarded Li Anqi as one of his own, and he personally asked Li Anqi to handle this matter.
Unexpectedly, a huge trap was almost revealed...
Li Anqi looked worried and frightened, and whispered back: "I don't know either. I can't personally come forward for this kind of thing, right? It was originally arranged for a trustworthy class leader to ask the yamen to injure one of the students when they made trouble. , it can make the matter a big deal without ending it... How can you think of such a thing? ”
Liu Xiangdao snorted, doubtful.
I don't bother to ask where the squad leader is now. If the prediction is correct, he must have disappeared at this moment. No one is alive or dead, and no body is found. In a few days, his family will also be missing. Whether he is alive or dead, there is no one. You know, no one cares.
No matter whether the leader was bribed or not, this matter will go away.
Even if Li Anqi really knew nothing or was a stumbling block for him, he didn't care, because he had already seen a servant coming out of the side door of Chengtian Gate and walking towards him quickly.
"This servant has come under the imperial edict to announce that Dr. Yu Shi has entered the palace to be a holy man."
"Okay."
Liu Xiangdao glanced at Li Anqi and warned: "Go back immediately to comfort the students. Don't make trouble again, otherwise don't blame me for not telling the old story!"
"Here!"
Li Anqi quickly agreed.
Liu Xiangdao then ordered the surrounding censors: "Go back to the censorship station and collect news from all over the city. If anyone uses this matter to spread rumors, he will be arrested and interrogated immediately. There will be no indulgence!"
This was what troubled him the most. It was originally a public opinion offensive against Fang Jun, but it turned into a political incident because of the death of someone. Not only did Fang Jun get removed, but the Yushitai was put into a disadvantageous situation - Yushitai Shi Tai's duty is to supervise all officials and clean up the rules and regulations. He can't be ignorant of so many students gathering to cause chaos and knocking on the gate to petition, right?
"Here!"
Sun Chuyue led the censors to accept the order and turned back to the censorship platform.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The rain soaked their clothes and shoes. The censors, who were usually solemn and meticulously dressed, were in an extremely embarrassed state at this moment.
Because what is waiting for them is likely to be a huge wave...
Liu Xiangdao followed the chamberlain to the Chengtian Gate and tidied up his clothes that were soaked by the rain. However, the soaked clothes clung to his body and were wrinkled no matter how he arranged them. His hair was even messy, which was really out of appearance.
Before entering the palace, I heard the sound of horse hooves behind me. Looking back, I saw a group of cavalry approaching at a gallop. When more than twenty war horses galloped, their iron hoofs trampled on the bluestone road like drums. There was actually a group of cavalrymen. The momentum of thousands of troops charging into battle!
You don’t even need to look carefully. There are only a handful of people in the government and the public who have the power to ride horses in front of Chengtian Gate, but there is only one person who can really do this...
More than twenty war horses arrived not far away and all stood still, their movements uniform.
The leader turned over and jumped off the horse, took off his raincoat and threw it to the soldiers behind him. He was dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a turban on his head, and had thick eyebrows on his dark face. It was Fang Jun...
"It turned out to be Yatai's face. Let me just say that if such a big thing happens, Yatai must step in to solve it. It's just that I question Yushitai's ability to do things. So many students gathered under the Chengtian Gate to knock on the door. It’s enough to shock the world. Yushitai has seriously neglected his duty.”
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Fang Jun stepped forward and said with a smile, looking like he was watching a good show.
Liu Xiangdao had a dark face, seriously suspecting that this guy had already known Yushitai's plan, so he used the plan to put Yushitai into trouble. He said coldly: "Whether Yushitai has neglected his duty or not, His Majesty and the Political Affairs Hall will hold him accountable. Duke Yue Guo Although he is the prime minister, he has no power to deal with it. ”
"Look at you, you are so boring!"
Fang Jun didn't think he was dissatisfied and said with a smile: "I care about you. If you cause such a big trouble and people die, your majesty will probably have a hard time with it, right? But we are officials in the same dynasty and we have some friendships. , when you need help to intercede, you may as well speak up and make up your mind to do your best to help.”
Liu Xiangdao snorted and was sure that this guy was just watching his joke, so he ignored it.
Fang Jun said to the chamberlain: "I have come to the palace to have an audience. Open the door quickly."
"Here."
The chamberlain quickly bowed his head and agreed to lead the way.
There are several ministers in the court who do not need to report to His Majesty in advance, and Fang Jun is one of them...
……
In the imperial study room.
Li Chengqian saw Fang Jun and Liu Xiangdao arriving hand in hand, and nodded slightly: "Erlang came at the right time. Although the matter of students knocking on the que has nothing to do with you, it is somewhat involved after all. Let's discuss how to solve it."
Fang Jun first greeted Li Chengqian, and then nodded to Li Ji, Liu Ji, and Li Junxian, and then said slowly: "First of all, I thought that I could not respond to the students' petitions and petitions. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been any obstacle." The road of speech takes place, and all the requests of all subjects in the world can be heard directly by heaven. , let alone those Jinshi and students? However, they use such measures that disregard the national law and outrageously touch His Majesty’s majesty. Otherwise, anyone who has any requests in the future will go to Chengtianmen to knock on the door and petition. , and even cried and hanged himself, how embarrassing is it for His Majesty?”
Liu Jie nodded. Although he was always in tit-for-tat with Fang Jun, he recognized these words.
Your Majesty is the lord of the world and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone wants to petition, he can petition, and if he wants to knock on the door, he can knock on the door. What kind of behavior is this?
Li Chengqian's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.
Liu Xiangdao opened his mouth to speak, but Fang Jun beat him to it: "Secondly, all the students gathered together to cry out for the unfair selection of officials. Why did the Yushitai, who was responsible for the inspection, fail to know in advance and take effective measures to avoid this? ? Why was it not handled properly afterwards, resulting in the student's death? This not only caused the minister to be widely questioned, but also damaged His Majesty's prestige. , someone should be responsible for this." Liu Xiangdao pondered for a moment, did not defend himself, nor did he wait for others to intercede on his behalf. Instead, he knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Your Majesty clearly understands that the Yushitai is responsible for this matter, and the leaders of Weichen are responsible for it. The king's prestige has been damaged in no way, and it is a capital crime! For this reason, Gou Yan asked for his life, and the minister asked to resign from the post of censor, and retire to his old age. "
