Da Wei Chun

Chapter 365
At the foot of Mang Mountain, beside the valley water.

Although it has been ten days since the beginning of autumn, the weather is still hot.Even standing at the foot of the mountain, you can still feel the heat waves.

Standing on a small hill, Li Chengzhi set up a pergola and looked west.

This place has passed Shouqiuli, which is exclusively for the residence of the imperial family and royal relatives, and belongs to the outer city.Li Liang said in the letter sent on the way that they would enter Beijing from here and go directly to the rented house of Li Chengzhi.

The advantage is that you only need to pass one checkpoint in the outer city, and you don't need to enter the Guocheng and inner city, which saves time and a lot of trouble.

It stands to reason that we should have arrived long ago, but after waiting for two hours from noon to noon, there was still no one, and Li Chengzhi couldn't help becoming anxious.

I always feel restless, as if something big is happening...

Just as he was worried, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes behind him.Li Chengzhi looked back, and saw a cloud of smoke rushing towards him.When you get closer, you can recognize that the first rider is Li Rui.

Let him go to the outer city to pick up people, but why does it look like he came out of the city?

Before the horse stood still, Li Chengzhi shouted and asked, "Where's the person?"

Li Rui's face was full of anxiety, and he didn't even get off his horse. He said anxiously: "Mr. Lang, something happened... When entering Chengyang Gate, the guards of the city gate searched and found two thousand real gold brought by Madam, Shuoping Sima Yuanyi Xu Shi saw the money and wanted to seize it.

Madam refused, and wanted to forcefully ask for it, and then clashed with him... In a short while, Madam injured more than [-] guards, and Madam Zhang stabbed Sima in Shuoping's leg..."

Li Chengzhi's eyes darkened, and he almost fell over.

Not only did he injure more than [-] guards at the palace gate, but he also stabbed Sima Shuoping who was guarding the gate?

This is a serious crime of rebellion...

Why don't you enter Beijing from the outer city, and go to the inner city?
As the saying goes, if wealth is not exposed, thieves will not go empty.How many years of salary can a full two thousand real gold cover?Not to mention the city gate officer, even if he saw it himself, his heart would be hot and his eyes would be hot...

He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and said sharply, "How is mother?"

"Madam, Mrs. Zhang, and Li Da and others are all unscathed, and have all been taken into the imperial city..."

Luckily no injuries...

Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as people are okay.As for the future... If it is reasonable, it will be reasonable and not forgiving, no matter what the identity of the other party is, this matter will definitely be discussed.

If it is unreasonable, you can only lie down and be small.It doesn't matter whether you lose money or accept punishment, as long as you can save people.Anything goes.

I just don’t know if it’s a good way to clear it up... I guess I have to ask Gao Zhao, let alone ask the emperor for mercy...

The emperor...well, right?
Li Chengzhi's eyes popped sharply: "You just said that your mother was brought into the palace?"

Even if the trouble was too big, the Luoyang order had no right to deal with it, so it should be dealt with by Henan Yin, Sizhou Mu, or Ting Wei, so why did they go directly to the imperial city?

Li Rui said in a low voice: "When I arrived, the fight was over. I don't know what happened, but I saw dozens of guards fell to the ground, howling loudly. Madam, Li Da and others all knelt on the ground, waiting with their arms tied. capture……

Apart from others, only Hou Gang, King Ruyang and King Yingchuan were present.The servant was afraid that there would be troubles, so he secretly ordered Li Cong to rush into the inner city, and beat the Dengwen drum under the Meridian Gate..."

Li Chengzhi was stunned.

Dengwen drum?
In this era, there is such a good thing that is specially designed for common people to appeal their grievances and go straight to heaven?

I really didn't notice it... Thanks to Li Rui's cleverness.

Li Rui knew that he and Hou Gang had a deadly feud, and when Hou Gang was here, he was not sure whether Yuan Yong and Yuan Yue would speak to Yuan Yi, who was also in the clan, and then practice favoritism and distort the facts.That's why I thought of such a trick.

It's really possible...

Don't look at how busy Yuan Yong was when he was just released from prison?
According to the theory, he is Gao Zhao's uncle, so he should help Gao Zhao.

The reason for this is nothing more than that Hou Gang is of Yuan nationality and Gao Zhao is of Han nationality.

But the matter has come to this point, even the clan can't care about it...

"go!"

Li Chengzhi slammed his horse and ran into the city.

After running for nearly half a mile, he remembered, and shouted suspiciously: "You just said, who did Jingmo stab?"

"It's Prince Jiangyang's son, Shuoping Sima Yuanyi, who is on duty at Chengyang Gate today..."

Yuan Yi?

Apart from sighing, Li Chengzhi didn't know what to say.

Could it be that it was destined that Li Chengzhi must rebel?

First it was Hou Gang, then it was Hu Chonghua a few days ago, and now it is Yuan Yi.I have only been in Beijing for a few days, and I have offended more than half of the powerful people in the supervision period of Empress Dowager Hu after Yuan Ke?

After careful calculation, it seems that only Liu Teng and Yu Zhong are left.

In contrast, Hou Gang, Liu Teng, Yu Zhong, etc. are not worthy of mentioning Hu Chonghua and Yuan Yi's shoes in terms of tossing around poorly and acting like monsters.

It is these two wives, sisters and brother-in-law who have been entangled and have been in love and killing each other for nearly [-] years. Today they can blend in each other, and tomorrow they will meet each other. .

With the death of the Great Wei, this adulterer and adulterer must bear at least half of the blame...

Forget it, it's useless to think too much, the current strategy is to save the person first...

Li Chengzhi let out a sharp breath, and swung the whip in his hand faster.

……

Inside the Duanmen, facing the city outside.

Today is twenty-nine, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year.Although it is not on the third day, it is necessary to postpone the opening of the dynasty.Therefore, both Liu Fang and Cui Guang are on duty in Menxia Province.After sorting out all the affairs of the month, I am going to make a list, which will be presented to the emperor when he goes to court tomorrow.

They were writing books at their desks, when they suddenly heard a few thumping sounds, and the shaking window paper was shaking non-stop.

Liu Fang raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Is Li Chengzhi acting again?"

"The two nobles in the palace are both sick, how can he have such leisure time?"

After making a joke, Cui Guang paused, "It's really a drum, but I haven't heard the sound of the golden gong, so it must not be the battle drum in the city..."

After thinking for a while, Cui Guang frowned fiercely: "Could it be the Dengwen Drum outside the Meridian Gate?"

Liu Fang was stunned.

If Cui Guang didn't mention it, he couldn't even think of it. There is such a thing outside the city?
In my lifetime, can I meet the time when the Dengwen drum is sounded?
Even if something earth-shattering hadn't happened, it probably wouldn't be too small...

Both of them sighed, and Liu Fang confessed to Shizhong and Bianzhanglang: "Someone has come to sue for impeachment, please send it to Your Majesty, and send it to the third division..."

The two classes responded eagerly, and then those who entered the palace entered the palace, and those who left the city left the city.

After a while, the guards at the palace gate brought the drummer into the palace.When they saw the appearance of the visitor, all the ministers were taken aback.

He is dark and thin, and his height is barely five feet. If he didn't have a short beard under his chin, he would have thought he was a child who hadn't grown up yet.

Everyone was still looking at him, but Li Congteng knelt down: "My lord, the grassroots are wronged..."

……

After a while, he rushed to Shigan hall in the middle of the matter.

The emperor was playing chess with Yu Zhong, so he was surprised to hear that.

Haha... Someone actually beat the Dengwen drum and wanted to sue for imperial court?
It has been more than [-] years since the first emperor moved the capital to Luoyang and placed the Dengwen Drum at the Meridian Gate, and the emperor has never heard it sound.

If he hadn't reported it during the incident, he would have forgotten that there was such a thing?

Yuan Ke is good at criminal and prison litigation, and he will go to Ting Wei to settle cases when he is free, and his level is not bad.At this moment, when I heard it, I couldn't sit still: "Show me!"

It's just across the palace city, so you don't even have to go out of the palace, which is very convenient.Just as soon as Li Cong was asked about it, the emperor arrived.

Knowing that the matter is of great importance, and nine out of ten it is his own fault, how dare Li Cong sue.He just told what he knew in an unbiased manner.

Yuan Ke was stunned.

After the majestic clan, the son of the county king dared to revolt against Cai and murder him?

The most important thing is, not only did they not find it, but hundreds of guards at the city gate were killed by a mere woman and turned their backs?

It's a joke in the world...

Not to mention the emperor, anyone in the palace who could still stand and pant was dumbfounded.

Only Cui Guang listened most sincerely, just like Ben Mi, his five sense organs were twisted together: "You just said, whose servant are you?"

"Master Bing, the younger one is the descendant of the Li family, and my family's gentleman is Li Chengzhi, the Taishi Supervisor Hou Xinglang..."

The emperor's eyes shot out suddenly: "Who, Li Chengzhi?"

"Exactly!"

Yuan Ke didn't know whether to be angry or scold.

Is this family naturally at odds with the capital, but once they enter the capital, troubles are bound to happen, and each time the disturbance becomes louder?
That's all for Li Chengzhi, he only beat a group of Taoist priests, not even a mob.But this mother-in-law is so vicious, isn't the hundreds of imperial guards all enemies?
Yuan Ke sneered fiercely and said: "Everyone comes in... I want to take a closer look, is it because my old guards are a bunch of idiots, or is it that Li's mother and son are both generals descended from heaven and reincarnated overlords? enemy?"

The emperor seldom had such sarcastic remarks and implied sarcasm.Everyone knew that the emperor was really angry, and even Liu Fang and Cui Guang were heartbroken.

It's right to think about it: Is this a guard with a hundred bows and horses, and a complete set of swords and bows?

Even if a hundred pigs stand there motionless, they will have to be killed for a long time, right?To be defeated by a woman in an instant.Even the main general was captured alive?

Compared with it, it is not so important whether Yuan Yi saw Qian Qian's eyes, or Li's servants made a false accusation...

Yu Zhong's mouth was full of bitterness, and he was about to screw up the eighteen generations of Jiangyang Wang's ancestors.

If it were someone else, it would be like a joke: the dignified son is so lucrative and out of his wits that he robbed him at the gate of the palace. Could it be that he has lost his wits?
But if it was Yuan Yi, Yu Zhong believed [-]% immediately.

It's just because the father and son don't have a good bird.

During Xiaowen's reign, Wang Yuanji of Guangyang Township Fuaning Four Townships was in charge of pacifying the Gaoche tribe.But let alone appeasement, within three years of his confinement, nearly [-]% of the Gaoche people in the four towns defected.

A tribal leader fled to the middle of Beijing only to find out that no matter in a good year or a good year, no matter whether a cow is big or a sheep is small, as long as there are four legs, Yuanji will collect a tax for one leg...

Fortunately, Yuan Hong was lenient and benevolent, but he was exempted from officials and nobles.If it was in the hands of Empress Dowager Feng or Yuan Ke, how could he still have his life?

When Yuan Ke ascended the throne, Yuan Ji was revived because of his meritorious support, worshiped the governors of Qingzhou and Hengzhou, and was impeached by the censor for corruption.Yuan Ke was not punished for his meritorious service, but was transferred to the capital and transferred to Duzhi Shangshu.

And then... Good guy, almost emptied the treasury...

Yuan Ke still thought of his support and spared his life, but only removed all the officials.When Yuan Yu rebelled, Yuan Ji rebelled again last year because of his meritorious service in reporting...

The same goes for Yuan Yi.First, when he was Sima in the army, he asked for bribes from his subordinates and was exempted.Later, he was almost beheaded because of his loyalty to the guards in the forbidden center, and because he robbed the women of the people.Otherwise, why would the dignified prince of the county be reduced to the point of guarding the city gate...

Yu Zhong was about to regret it.

If I had known that Yuan Yi would cause him such a big disaster, let alone just give him a bottle of golden Buddha, it would be useless to move a golden mountain...

Now it is not at all a question of whether Yuan Yi is really murdering money or not.Even if Li Chengzhi's old lady came to kill the emperor, she would certainly die afterwards.But Yuan Yi and Yu Zhong can still escape?
A whole hundred guards, isn't it the enemy of a woman?
Not to mention a woman, even a tiger, at least he should give it a go, right?

Most people know what Yuan Yi is, so few people doubt such an unimaginable thing.

He also knew that the emperor was about to explode with anger, and the lower officials, such as the Huangmen, the ministers, the courtiers and other officials, were mostly silent and dared not vent their anger.

Just like Liu Fang and Cui Guang, they dared to raise their heads from time to time to look at the emperor's face.

At first it looked gloomy, but after looking at it, the emperor's face no longer had much anger. Instead, it was very novel, staring at something fiercely.

Turning his head following his eyes, he found that the emperor seemed to be looking at that servant of the Li family who was kneeling under the hall?
Meeting the emperor's gaze, Li Cong did not avoid it, and even smiled flatteringly.But the long eyes are really not very long. When he grinned his mouth and bared his teeth, it was like crying.

Cui Guang's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder the emperor was curious?

Seeing the emperor, how dare you stare at him without dodging or avoiding?

Not to mention a domestic servant, even Li Chengzhi back then was not so bold.

It's really not a family, don't you enter a family?

Just as he was about to scold him, the emperor waved his hand lightly and asked doubtfully, "Do you recognize me?"

It's nonsense, you already call "Zhen", who doesn't know that you are the emperor?
He sneered secretly, but on the surface he was very docile.Li Cong lowered his hands and respectfully said, "Your Majesty is without a doubt!"

Yuan Ke became even more curious: "Then why aren't you afraid?"

When the emperor asked, everyone came to their senses: This young man who is as thin as a monkey has not shown the slightest trace of fear since he entered the palace?
Why should I be afraid?
In three to five or seventy-eight years, the person sitting in this hall will have the same surname as grandpa...

Muttering in his heart, Li Cong replied: "Your Majesty, when the monks in Jingzhou were in chaos, the young one was once the commander of the scout, and there were at least hundreds of rebels who died under the knife of the young one. Therefore, he has practiced it long ago. It's a brave..."

Everyone's eyes popped: How is it possible?
Just like that, they can kill hundreds of thieves?
Are the rebels in Jingzhou all paper?

I really didn't see it... The emperor suddenly became interested and was about to ask a question.Seeing Liu Teng go and return, he walked quickly into the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, all relevant people have been brought here. King Qinghe (Yuanyi), King Yingchuan, King Ruyang, King Jiangyang, Gao Sikong, Gu Zangbo Li Yun, Li Chengzhi and others also came outside the hall, and they all said they wanted to have an audience..."

Did it come complete?
Yuan Ke sneered faintly: "One Xuan came in..."
