Han Shizu

Chapter 1463 Epilogue
The Chui Gong Hall returned to its usual calm, but probably because of Emperor Liu, the atmosphere always seemed a little delicate.There was a loud crash, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet hall, and everyone was shocked, but it was Emperor Liu who overturned the pile of extremely eye-catching memorials on the imperial case.

The air in the hall seemed to be frozen, and time seemed to be forbidden. After a moment of silence, Yan Tuo carefully sized up Emperor Liu, only to see Emperor Liu's face was as usual, with a calm face, holding a book of unknown content in his hand. The memorial is reading.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Tuo greeted the two servants in the palace, stepped forward and carefully picked up the scattered memorials and cases on the ground, and put them away lightly.

On Li Fang's side, he also silently changed a blank edict, and wrote the edict again according to Emperor Liu's will. This time, he needed to draft a lot of edicts.

Soon, a tidy and fluent imperial edict was drawn up, and Li Fang personally handed it over to Emperor Liu for review. Emperor Liu only browsed it briefly before handing it back to him. Solemnly held Yuxi to the side of the imperial case.

Seeing Li Fang, the current cabinet, stamping the imperial edict with a face full of awe and prudence, Emperor Liu's mood inexplicably improved.

The atmosphere of silence for a long time was finally broken. Emperor Liu asked Li Fang, "Just now, you haven't said anything. Wang Pu and Zhao Pu have ideas. You, a cabinet scholar, don't have any suggestions?"

Carefully putting the jade seal symbolizing the authority of the emperor back into the brocade box again, Li Fang respectfully replied: "My minister, you should put your majesty's will first and obey your majesty's instructions. Your majesty has already done so." Is there any objection to the resolution?"

Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu immediately smiled and said, "My cabinet ministers are also required to be capable and knowledgeable. They are not puppets made of clay, and you are not someone without ideas."

"In the Cai Palace just now, Wang Pu's attitude can be described as clear-cut. Although he was overwhelmed by me, I know that the worries in his heart have not diminished at all, on the contrary they have increased!

Zhao Pu, although he didn't have the attitude of obeying orders like Wang Pu, but I also understand that he also has ideas in his heart, but he didn't say it out for some reason.

For so many years, you have also moved inside and outside, and worked in many places. I don't believe you have no idea on this matter! "

As he said that, Emperor Liu looked at Li Fang with a more palpitating force, and said solemnly, "Although you don't speak up, don't you agree that my decision this time is a bit too forceful and conceited?"

"Are you also somewhat disapproving of my decision?"

Emperor Liu vented his words like pouring beans, but Li Fang reacted. He lowered his head slightly, pondered for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "I dare not!"

This reaction obviously made Emperor Liu very suffocated. He got up and took a few steps angrily, and scolded: "You ministers, when you encounter something, you just say you don't dare? What attitude, what idea, what's wrong with you? No What do you mean by dare? Huh?"

Facing Emperor Liu's questioning, Li Fang finally showed a little helplessness on his serious face, he looked at Emperor Liu carefully, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Not daring means not daring, and as for why not, let’s not even dare to say it.

"Don't dare!" As for Emperor Liu, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his chest, he pointed at the imperial case and said sharply: "All of you meritorious officials, nobles and ministers, all of you bow your brows in front of me, and your mouth is pleasing to the eye. He said he didn't dare, but leaving the Chuigong Hall, leaving the court, is there anything he dare not do?
Knowing the law and violating the law, engaging in selfishness and engaging in fraud, these cases are shocking to me. Those who are humble and obedient are not for me to see! "

"I'm guilty!" Li Fang probably couldn't bear the full-scale firepower of Emperor Liu, so Li Fang bowed a little and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu suddenly laughed angrily, pointed at Li Fang and said, "Oh! You're guilty again? The crime you speak of is not something I forced you to say!"

There was a bit of bitterness in the emperor's tone, but Li Fang was unshakable, as if listening respectfully to the hadith.Emperor Liu's angry reprimand was like a storm, but Li Fang was not afraid at all, it was just because he knew in his heart that Emperor Liu was not targeting him.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

At this moment, Li Fang is just a ball of cotton and a pool of water, and Emperor Liu's words are like a knife, and it is difficult to hurt him.Seeing this, Emperor Liu smiled again. After such a vent, his anger seemed to be straightened out, and his mood gradually calmed down. After all, he was not targeting Li Fang.

"I lost my composure!" After waving his hand, Emperor Liu spit out such a sentence.

Hearing what he said, Li Fang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has always loved and cared for his subjects, and now he is furious because of his deep love and serious responsibility. Some people have indeed done too much and let them down." Your Majesty trusts me!"

Regarding Li Fang's words, Emperor Liu's reaction was relatively flat, he didn't express his opinion, and he didn't get angry anymore.

After returning to his seat and thinking about it for a while, Emperor Liu asked, "What's the news about Liu Yang? Where is he? He dug up the Huazhou case. Now that the situation has become more and more influential, it has caused a lot of trouble. asked!"

"According to the notice sent by the prince's camp earlier, His Royal Highness should have visited Qizhou!" Li Fang reported, paused, and asked for instructions: "Does your majesty intend to call back the prince?"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu obviously hesitated, thought for a while, and shook his head: "That's all! It's not a bad thing to let him walk around more. In this way, you draft an edict, send it to the camp, and tell Liu Yang, just return to Beijing before the Shangyuan Festival!"

"Yes!"

Li Fang took a careful look at Emperor Liu, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. From the emperor's peaceful order, he felt a hint of care.

As far as the prince is concerned, if the Huazhou case is dug out, it can have the effect of establishing prestige.However, when the case caused a series of turmoil and court turmoil, it may not be a good thing for the prince. Now Xijing is a whirlpool, and a large number of dignitaries and bureaucrats are involved. It is conceivable that many people will Because of this, he will be accused or suffer loss of interests.

Emperor Liu, probably no one would dare to resent, but if some blamed all these reasons on the prince's intolerance, then it would inevitably have some bad influence on the prince.

After all, Li Fang is Liu Yang's teacher, and when it comes to his matters, it is inevitable to be more careful consideration and care.In Li Fang's eyes, letting the prince return to Beijing before the Yuan Festival is a kind of protection. By then, the turmoil in the court will basically subside, and even if it doesn't, it should be in the final stage.

Emperor Liu was naturally unaware of Li Fang's divergent thinking. He was sitting behind the case, taking out a copy of this chapter, frowning and reading it with a cold face, while the red pen circled it from time to time.

This is a list, a list of all the criminals and their crimes that have surrendered themselves and have been investigated and interrogated so far.Quietly, Emperor Liu had already received a summary of these personnel matters.

At this time, Emperor Liu made it impossible to see any emotions, but every time the vermilion pen was drawn in a circle, the chill in the vertical arch hall seemed to be divided again, and the light brush was as sharp as a sharp knife.

At the end of the ninth year of Kaibao, with the decree issued by Emperor Liu, the political tide triggered by the Zhang Jin case in Huazhou also came to an end.This also means that the turmoil between the ruling and opposition parties that lasted for nearly a month has finally subsided.

In fact, when Emperor Liu's attitude was revealed, everyone's criticism, noise, struggle, and running stopped, everyone fell silent, and changed from being positive to waiting.

Quiet Xijing with a word, this is the current power of Emperor Liu.

Of course, it was accompanied by more than 200 law enforcement officers from the Three Law Departments, who judged and sentenced dozens of cases, large and small, and nearly a thousand criminal officials involved. This process lasted for ten days.

After the final review by Dali Temple, 73 noble children and internal and external officials were sentenced to death.
