Han Shizu

Chapter 1975 The situation is not good
Yaoguang Pavilion is one of the main buildings in Liuguang Garden, and it is also the main place for Liu Hui to have banquets, drinks and music on weekdays.

In the pavilion, the mellow aroma of fermented rice permeates the air, and the beautiful dancers stare at the gazes on the stage in scantily-clothed clothes. A concubine Ji is also "ragged", reclining with peachy eyes
If it were on a normal day, the scene would definitely be jubilant and forgetful, and it would definitely be another feast without getting drunk or returning home, but there was obviously something wrong with the atmosphere at this time. Hui's "comrades" looked at each other in blank dismay.

Just because someone came from the palace, it was Yan Tuo, the chief eunuch of the inner court, and the figure who could be seen talking in the verandah through the bead curtain almost touched the hearts of everyone present.

Not long after, Yan Tuo walked out first, with the same reserved expression, he glanced at the scene in the pavilion, calmly, and wanted to go out.And Liu Hui followed closely behind, beckoning and calling out eagerly: "Please stop, Officer Yan!"

Hearing the sound, Yan Tuo hesitated for a while, but stopped. After all, he is the son of the official family. How long can the rift between father and son last? Maybe the official family's anger is over. Therefore, I decided to leave a little more respect and room for Liu Huiyan.

Up to now, even Yan Tuo, an old slave who has served the old emperor personally for decades, can't help acting on his own according to what he guessed about Emperor Liu's thoughts, and even inadvertently took his own guess as the emperor's idea.
Looking back at Liu Hui who was a little hesitant, Yantuo bowed his hands and said calmly: "Your Highness, I still need to go back to the palace to pay the order and return!"

"Don't dare to keep more senior officials!" Liu Hui ignored the many people present, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what Liu Hui has offended His Majesty, please give me some advice?"

The drunkenness on Liu Hui's face was still heavy, but the sudden blow kept him awake instinctively. Facing those yearning eyes, Yan Tuo sighed, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, why bother to go to that river?" Muddy water?"

Liu Hui was startled, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that letter of remonstrance?"

"That's the end of the conversation, His Highness stay here, I'm leaving!" Yan Tuo refused to say any more, saluted, and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Liu Hui's face turned pale by two points, obviously that's it, but he didn't understand why a letter of remonstrance came to this, could it be that the emperor didn't allow anyone to speak?Jiang Mu can do it, but he is not qualified to be a dignified Duke Wu and a minister of political affairs, isn't it ridiculous?
"How could this be? How could this be?" Liu Hui murmured.

In fact, that Jiang Mu was also one of Liu Hui's guests, and he is still a high-quality resource. After all, the official is not small, and he is the real power censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jiang Mu's contribution.

It can be seen from this that there is a branch behind Liu Hui's admonition to abolish the Imperial City Secretary.Just before Yan Tuo came, Liu Hui was still discussing this matter with his guests, and the cheeky man had already boasted, saying that Liu Hui was a magnificent essay, a piece of honest advice, and if he dared to make plans for the world, he would certainly be admired by the world and so on.

Now, Emperor Liu's slap was photographed, and Liu Hui was dizzy from the slap, not knowing why. The "smart" brain is a bit overwhelmed at this time, and can't figure it out, but Liu Hui is also aware of the seriousness of the matter, as can be seen from the attitude of Chong Yantuo, the old eunuch, who is completely unwilling. He looked too close, and didn't even accept gifts.

"Admonishment? Muddy water? Where did something go wrong?" Liu Hui felt a little headache thinking about it, and couldn't help but raised his hand and beat his head vigorously.

"Your Highness! Don't do it!" His actions surprised many people present, and there were loud exclamations and dissuasion.

Liu Hui was already a little unsteady, and was supported to sit down, panting endlessly, his handsome face looked extremely ugly at this moment.Even people with no sharp eyesight can know that this is a big deal, and they send concerned "greetings" to Liu Hui one by one.

But there happened to be a "strange man" who sat beside Liu Hui drunkenly and asked desperately, "Your Highness, the singing and dancing have stopped for a long time. Everyone is waiting, should we continue?"

This sentence completely irritated Liu Hui, like opening the valve of restraint, picking up a bottle of wine vessel next to him, and smashing it hard at the person's head, there was a dull but very clear "boom", It's like a heavy hammer hitting the heart.

Everyone was stunned. How could His Royal Highness Wu Guogong, who is personable, well-trained, and refreshing, lose his composure and do something like "murder" in public.He still heard the miserable howl and saw that Liu Hui would not give up. Only then did he realize that the people nearby were pulling and persuading, but they didn't let Liu Hui beat him to death.

After a while of panic, Liu Hui managed to calm down, looked drunkenly at the group of "talented and famous scholars" gathered around him, waved his hands weakly, and said, "Let's all step back!"

"Your Highness."

"roll!"

Seeing that Liu Hui was always on the verge of an explosion, everyone did not dare to say more and dispersed one after another. However, looking at Liu Hui with a gloomy face and the guests who were bleeding profusely and passed out, most of them had a kind of heart palpitations. feeling.At the same time, speculation about Yantuo's vague purpose became even more intense.

Everyone had their own thoughts and dispersed one after another, including the unlucky guy who was knocked unconscious and was carried down by two servants for treatment. Depending on the condition of his injuries, it was unclear whether he could be saved.The crowd disappeared, and the pavilion immediately became deserted. However, there was still one person on the messy table, holding the food table, enjoying himself.

This is an old man, about five or sixty years old. He is very old, with dark circles under his eyes, puffy face, and protruding belly. He looks drunk and intoxicated.It is hard for outsiders to imagine that such a greasy and dejected person is the "Hidden Marquis" Li Yu who wrote countless beautiful and emotional poems.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost 30 years since he surrendered to the court. During the years of ups and downs, Li Yu's title has also undergone several changes, from Peng Guogong to the current Marquis of Pingan, the third-class nobleman. Titles like "Emperor of Ci" are not suitable for contemporary people, so people are more accustomed to calling Li Yu "Marquis of Ci" and "Marquis of Yin". Call it.

Li Yu who stayed behind, Liu Hui naturally noticed, looking at his slightly funny drunken state, he couldn't help saying coldly: "Why did Yinhou stay?"

For Li Yu's talent, Liu Hui also sometimes feels envious and jealous, but overall, he still admires it very much. There is also a feeling of sympathy between the two, which can be regarded as a friend who has forgotten the years.Although Li Yu is not the core task in Liu Hui's circle, every time there is a banquet, someone will always be sent to invite him, and Li Yu rarely refuses.

Wen asked, Li Yu tapped the wine glass in his hand with his fingers, and said to Liu Hui: "It's such a fine wine, wouldn't it be a pity not to drink it up?"

Liu Hui was slightly stunned, then waved his hands and said with a smile, "If Yinhou likes it, he can bring a few altars back to his residence!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Yu did not refuse, and bowed his hands.

Then he got up slowly, took two jars of unopened Guanglu wine from the hands of the two servants, hugged them on one side and the other on the right, and swayed towards the outside.However, when he was about to go out, Li Yu stopped, turned his head and said to Liu Hui: "Forgive me for talking too much, this house is full of guests and distinguished friends, how many people can talk to each other?"

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Hui's reaction, he went on his own.After Li Yu entered the court, under the passage of time, the sorrow and hatred of subjugation have dissipated a lot. This can be reflected in his poems for nearly ten years. The feeling of love is no longer obvious, on the contrary, he also drifted with the tide and wrote many chapters praising the prosperous age.

There is no way, now, his identity as Jiangnan's old master still only pays attention to those strange and suspicious eyes.It has to be said that as a well-known descendant, Li Yu has been able to live peacefully in the capital of the Han Dynasty for many years. One of the important reasons is that he received the protection of Liu Hui. Therefore, Li Yu still has a heart for Liu Hui. grateful.

Li Yu's reminder made Liu Hui thoughtful, but that was all. All his thoughts at the moment were spent on Emperor Liu's intention to depose him.Even with this momentary reaction, he still can't figure out what's wrong, what's wrong with his remonstrance, Wang Ji'en and the Imperial City Secretary have been harming the court for many years, isn't everyone shouting for beating?

Dazed for a while, lost for a while, Liu Hui finally came back to his senses and was freed from the state of bewilderment.He struggled to get up, asked the servants to wash and change his clothes anxiously, and prepared the car for driving. He had to go to the palace to plead guilty. Of course, the most important thing is to ask clearly, even if he dies, he must die clearly.
It is still possible to see Emperor Liu, after all, Emperor Liu did not give Liu Hui a foot restraint order.And when he was facing the saint, he didn't need to speak, Emperor Liu knew the purpose of his visit, and hardly gave him much time to explain the statement. Emperor Liu dismissed him with only one sentence: "If you even have a problem with I didn't realize it anywhere, so I have nothing to say to you, go back and wait for the imperial edict!"

As the governor of Luoyang Mansion, Lu Fu Yin is very diligent, but he has been especially hardworking recently. He lives in the government office, and seems not to want to bring the disputes of the court home.

At nightfall, Lu Meng was just finishing his approval of another government affairs, and was about to enjoy the cold dinner, so he heard a servant report that Zhang Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came to visit.Lu Mengzheng suddenly became suspicious, the matter of "falling the king", the two are naturally related, but at such a critical and sensitive moment, Zhang Xun came to visit in person, but it was a little reckless, and it was easy to give people something to talk about.

But no matter how much hesitation he had in his heart, hospitality etiquette is indispensable. He ordered someone to introduce him, and Lu Mengzheng even went to wait in front of the door himself, and welcomed Zhang Xun into the house together, serving tea and talking.

"Brother Tai came to visit at night, what's the matter?" Lu Mengzheng asked calmly, but the meaning revealed in his eyes was self-evident.

Zhang Xun looked serious and said directly: "I don't care about so many things!"

"Why?" Seeing his expression, Lu Mengzheng asked immediately, not daring to be careless.

"Have you heard the news from the palace?"

"I've been dealing with general affairs all day, and I haven't paid attention to the news of the inner court. I don't know what happened?" Lu Mengzheng said, shaking his head slightly.

"You are calm!" Zhang Xun complained, and then said: "Your Majesty issued an edict, that's all for the Duke of Wu!"

"There is such a thing? What is the reason?"

Zhang Xun said solemnly: "It is heard that Wu Guogong also wrote a memorial to His Majesty, suggesting that His Majesty abolish the Imperial City Division."

Hearing this, Lu Mengzheng frowned immediately, and murmured: "This is not good!"

"How do you evaluate Jiang Mu?" Zhang Xun said quietly again.

Mentioning this, Lu Mengzheng had a gloomy look on his brows, and there was a bit of annoyance in his eyes, and said bluntly: "Stupid and ignorant, you are a fool!"

In fact, Lu Mengzheng and others also hoped that Emperor Liu would abolish the Imperial City Division, a secret service agency, but how to achieve the goal must be paid attention to methods and methods, and it must be changed according to the situation.

Jiang Mu's admonition that day can be said to have completely disrupted the rhythm of Lu and Zhang. Before Wang Jien won the questioning, he rashly expanded the scope of attack to the entire Imperial City Division. Make such a move.

It is easy to bring too many uncertain factors to the matter. The Jiang Mu incident is still brewing. Wu Guogong jumped out again and gave a big "surprise". The old emperor's fierce reaction this time really had to be... It's worrying.

Not to mention that Wang Ji'en didn't overthrow, Huang Chengsi didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but put himself in it because of such unknown changes, then the gain outweighs the loss.Just as Wang Jien knew that the key to the problem lay with Emperor Liu, Lu and Zhang also knew that if they wanted to take down Wang Jien, they also needed the permission of the old emperor.

Previously, things were going smoothly and the goal was expected, but now, no one can say no!
"Jiang Mu is dead!" When Lu Meng was contemplating the possible impact of this incident, Zhang Xun quietly revealed such news.

The "shocking news" that Zhang Xun brought this time came one after another, and Lu Meng couldn't hide his surprise from the front: "What's going on?"

"People died in the lobby of my Criminal Department!" Zhang Xun's eyes finally showed a little turmoil, it was a kind of panic, and he described softly: "Just half an hour ago, four guards escorted Jiang Mu to the Criminal Department. In the face of the government officials, beat him to death!"

"What's the crime for this!" Lu Meng couldn't help standing up.

Zhang Xun mocked slightly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. What is the crime? What matters is that His Majesty has arranged for people to be brought to the hall of the Ministry of Punishment to be executed. You should know what this means!"

After hearing this, Lu Meng tried his best to calm down and thought for a moment. He raised his head and took a deep look at Zhang Xun who was pretending to be calm. He thought to himself that since Zhang Xun came to Kaifeng Mansion, at least in this storm, he and he had no relationship. It is completely tied together.

"Brother, what can you learn from this visit?" Lu Meng asked seriously, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Xun stared directly at Lu Mengzheng and asked solemnly: "The matter has come to this and the future is uncertain. I wonder if the ambition of Shenggong to 'overthrow the king' has been shaken?"

Facing Zhang Xun's gaze, Lu Mengzheng only thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "We will never change our resolve to eliminate thieves for the country!"

After asking Lu Mengzheng for an attitude, Zhang Xun didn't stay for long, and briefly discussed the next steps before leaving in a hurry.

This night, the city of Xijing was destined to be difficult to calm down. Liu Hui's resignation, Jiang Mu's death, two people, and one incident all meant that the old emperor was gone. Judging by the old emperor's attitude, the prospect of "falling the king" seems to be uncertain. Fantastic.

The next day, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhang Xun, and more than [-] court officials made a petition again, asking the emperor to punish Wang Jien for his crimes, but he restrained himself from mentioning the Secretary of the Imperial City.

Unlike before, they formed a joint force, joined forces to play, and launched a general attack, vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved.

Similarly, Emperor Liu's reaction was more direct. Zhang, Lu and more than [-] people who jointly signed the petition were all sent to prison.The old emperor's patience seemed to have been worn away, and he began to use a simple and crude method to solve the problem, showing off his fangs and teeth, ready to eat people.
After Zhang, Lu and other ministers were imprisoned, the Luoyang court suddenly became silent, and everyone was shocked.The old emperor's drastic action is really unflattering. Is a domestic slave, eagle dog, worthy of such maintenance?
The emperor is like this, let these virtuous and loyal ministers still speak uprightly, the words will not make sense, the atmosphere will inevitably be corrupted, and the country will inevitably be disturbed! The bureaucrats sighed, and could not help but pay close attention to the next development of the situation.At the same time, looking at it from another angle, even if Wang Jien and Huangchengsi could not be taken down this time, his arrogance would be dealt a severe blow.

On the other hand, if Zhang, Lu and other ministers were disposed of, wouldn't there be more than 20 vacancies, including high-ranking officials such as Luoyang Prefecture Yin and Xingbu Shangshu. In the current Han Dynasty, such an opportunity could be It's really rare.
