I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 63

The eunuch went to preach the decree and invited Liu Jian and Cao Poshi to the palace for an audience, and then everyone waited here.

Everyone is silent at the moment, but in fact, everyone is brewing in their hearts.

Inevitably, for a while, the ministers and the emperor will fight each other according to their own reasons.

If Liu Jian was really seriously injured by Cao Poshi, it would prove that Cao Poshi did intend to kill someone!
Then we must strictly investigate, and use this incident as a breakthrough point to investigate his original affairs as well!Between scholars and eunuchs, fire and water are incompatible, and cutting grass must be rooted out. This is an iron law!Can not be changed.

But of course the emperor didn't want to.

What the Son of Heaven thought was to try his best to protect the Cao family. After Cao Jie died, everything should be over. There is no need to kill everyone in the Cao family. Everyone should take a step back.

Not long after, the eunuch Lu Qiang walked in quickly, and said to Liu Hong somewhat unnaturally: "Your Majesty, Captain Cao Poshi and Xiaolian Liu Jian are waiting outside the hall."

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Tell."

All the courtiers straightened their backs, and after the two came in, they began to talk about Cao Poshi!

I don't know if Liu Jian was seriously injured.

Better be heavier!
With the 28 mouths of the people present, Cao Poshi, who had hurt people and killed him, would definitely be able to put down the law on the spot!

Then, under the eyes of everyone gathered, the two people who had fought at Zuo Zhonglang's office today entered the arena under the eyes of everyone.

But... the situation is beyond the imagination of Liu Hong and the officials.

The 28 people who came to speak out were all expressionless and calm just now, but now they all suddenly changed their colors.

Even Liu Hong, who was very unhappy in his heart, opened his mouth in surprise when he saw this scene.

None of them thought that these two people would enter the arena in such a way.

Liu Jian was calm and calm, and walked in very naturally.

But Cao Poshi...was carried in on a stretcher, and his eyes were a little white, and he was moaning, and he was already unconscious.

Not long after Tao Qian returned to Beijing from Youzhou to serve as Yilang, he had not seen the high-ranking Cao Poshi yet. He saw two people entering the hall, one lying unconscious and the other with his head held high. Subconsciously, he thought that the one who was not injured was the Cao Poshi.

Tao Qian stood up with a cold face and scolded Liu Jian: "Thieves, how dare you do this!"

Tao Qian had a strong character, his voice was loud, and he gave Liu Jian a shock.

Who is this?So noisy.

"Why do you scold me?" Liu Jian asked puzzled.

"Cao thief, you are so brave! In broad daylight, openly hurting people in front of Lang's office, do you still have the law of the Han Dynasty in your eyes?"

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Cao Poshi lying on the stretcher, and called him in a low voice: "Hey, thief Cao, I'm calling you."

Cao Poshi on the stretcher just hummed in response.

Tao Qian was stunned when he saw this - what is the situation?
Cao Cao stood up, tugged Tao Qian's sleeve lightly, and said in a low voice, "The one lying down is Cao thief."

Only then did Tao Qian suddenly realize.

He looked at Liu Jian carefully again, and sighed secretly, he was really anxious, and came out to scold him without looking carefully.

The standing person is so young, it is obvious that he is not the same age as Cao Poshi.

Shicai was still eager to try, after waiting for Liu Jian and Cao Poshi to come in together, he scolded and scolded Cao Poshi's Yilang, Shicai's words were on the verge of his mouth, and he was about to spout, but found that there was no one to spout at the moment .

Seeing the murderous Cao Poshi lying there, he was moaning unconsciously, who should he yell at.

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes.

He carefully looked at Cao Poshi who was lying on the ground for a while, and then at Liu Jian who was saluting him, and his heart suddenly woke up.

Wonderful!He is a wonderful person.

Liu Hong's governance of the country is not very good, but in the process of fighting against the powerful family, he has practiced trickery.

At this very moment, he immediately looked at Liu Jian in front of him with admiration.

Liu Hong straightened his face and asked, "Wait...who is the victim and who is the victim?"

Liu Jian stood up very naturally, and respectfully said to Liu Hong: "Report to Your Majesty, this minister is the one who was bullied."

The word is used very carefully, 'humiliating' rather than 'harming'.

Cao Poshi was lying on a stretcher, vaguely seeming to have heard Liu Jian's answer.

He said weakly: "You, you put... ass~~~"

The last fart was spoken so weakly that I couldn't hear it clearly at all, as if my mouth had let out air.

The corner of Liu Hong's mouth gloated a little, but he quickly put it back.

He looked at Liu Jian seriously and said, "In front of me, you have to tell the truth!"

Liu Jian said very seriously: "I have studied the scriptures since I was a child, and I have been taught by Gao Xian, and I am familiar with the way of sages. How dare I speak falsely in front of Your Majesty? I am indeed the one who was beaten."

Liu Hong pointed to Cao Poshi on the stretcher: "Then what happened to him?"

"Lieutenant Cao was accidentally injured by the minister when he was beating the minister."

Hearing this, Cao Poshi, who was speechless over there, tilted his head suddenly and passed out completely.

"Who is the witness?"

"Besides the Lang's office, there are more than a hundred Lang officials and more than a thousand Li Shu, which can prove that the minister is indeed the one who was beaten."

Liu Hong finally couldn't bear it this time, he laughed out loud.

A group of officials who came to give advice looked at me, and I looked at me.

In this situation, what should we do?
Continue to say that Cao Poshi killed people?
The problem is... this situation is a bit out of their original intention.

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be that Liu Jian was beaten violently, then sent to the palace to call for grievances, and then everyone fell into trouble again, all in one go?

A few people began to peek at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi didn't speak, but secretly sighed in his heart.

This kid is obedient and obedient.

But you can't tell him anything.

At the beginning of the letter, he only gave a rough idea of ​​Yuan Kuiyou borrowing him to destroy the Cao family, but he did not expressly mention that if Cao Poshi troubled him, he must not fight back.

Of course, no one thought that he would actually fight back, and he would actually win.

The captain of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty... Alas!The level is too low!
"Where did you get beaten? Show me." Liu Hong waved at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian seemed a little hesitant.

"It's okay, you come here and point out to me, don't be afraid, I'll just take a look."

"only."

Afterwards, Liu Jian was seen walking in front of Liu Hong, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his arms.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is where the minister was beaten."

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows and looked carefully.

"where?"

"That's it, Your Majesty, look, this is all red for me."

Liu Hong: "..."

Below, Ma Rixun quietly elbowed Lu Zhi, and said: "You are a great apprentice. I expected him to cry in front of His Majesty with all his injuries. Let's ask Ting Wei to investigate today's matter. Cao Poshi can move the whole body with one hair..."

"It's good now, your apprentice has nothing to do with it. I think Cao Poshi was disabled by him, and he may have to enter the palace in the future. I think today's matter will be impossible."

Lu Zhi sighed and said, "I told you a long time ago that this disciple of mine is a person who has made meritorious service in Danhan Mountain. How can ordinary people hurt him?"

"The problem is that Cao Poshi is also the captain of the Yueqi school. He still led the best soldiers in the Yueqi battalion. Why is he so useless..."

At this time, Liu Hong waved his hand and asked Liu Jian to stand aside, then looked at the courtiers and said, "Zhuqing, in your opinion, how should we deal with the matter now?"

Chen Tan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Cao Poshi's trip was illegal. I request an order to thoroughly investigate Cao's family and return Zhuojun Xiaolian to justice..."

"Ah~~!"

Cao Poshi's painful voice suddenly sounded, and suddenly resounded through the hall.

He seemed to be in a daze, curled up, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.I couldn't stop trembling all over.

What Chen Dan said, followed by Cao Poshi's yell, but he couldn't say it.

Lu Qiang hurried over, pushed away Cao Poshi's hand covering his lower plate, looked carefully, and even reached out to touch it.

After that, Cao Poshi screamed in pain like killing a pig.

Liu Hong was annoyed by Cao Poshi's startled cry.

"Don't touch him! Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to show him!"

Lu Qiang immediately took orders and told Huang Men to find the Imperial Physician.

"What did Chen Aiqing just say?"

Chen Danchang sighed, and seemed a little powerless to speak: "Also... Xiaolian is fair."

Liu Hong turned his head and looked at Liu Jian for a while, and said: "Xiao Lian's justice must be paid back, but after all, he was not injured. If it was really a deliberate assassination, it would not be the result like this, right?"

"This……"

"But in the end it was Cao Poshi who caused the catastrophe. In my opinion, Cao Poshi was transferred out of the Yueqi camp and recuperated at home. After he recovered from his injuries, he was asked to plead guilty for Xiaolian in Zhuojun and fight on the street. That's all, who hasn't been young?"

Chen Dan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is this treatment too light?"

"Is it light?"

Liu Hong pointed to Cao Poshi on the stretcher: "This person is like this, how is it different from suffering death? All lovers read the words of the sages, why are they so aggressive? You said that he deliberately assassinated, and there are such stupid assassinations in the world." people?"

All the courtiers sighed in their hearts.

It seems that the matter of getting rid of the remnants of the Cao family has to be pushed back a little bit, and find another reason.

These days, killing people is easy, but the key is to learn from others.

If Cao Poshi came in standing up today, the 28 courtiers would have the confidence to let him go out dead.

The problem is that he came in lying down today...

Everyone is an experienced person, so they can tell that he has been beaten to the root of embarrassment.

Suffering this humiliating punishment is extremely extreme, what else can be investigated?

As for this Liu Jian...

What could the Yuan family blame him for?It's too late to praise him!

He beat the eunuch's apprentice in the street, and within three days, he would be talked about by scholars and students in Beijing.

Why do you blame others, just because they didn't get beaten?
Today, it is really a bit of a disappointment.

Cao Cao has been looking at Liu Jian seriously, with a bit of strong interest on his face.

Then, I saw him coughing lightly.

Everyone woke up when they heard the sound.

Chen Dan sighed, and was the first to say: "Your Majesty...the minister will take his leave."

The rest of the people also said: "The minister waits to leave."

Afterwards, including Liu Jian and Cao Poshi, the people in the hall began to retreat outwards.

Suddenly, Liu Hong shouted to Liu Jian: "That bullied Xiaolian, stay here! I have something to ask you."

Liu Jian stopped in his tracks.

Ma Rixun and Lu Zhi looked at each other.

Ma Rixun chuckled, as if he had thought of something.

Lu Zhi, on the other hand, heaved a long sigh and seemed quite melancholy.

But so what about melancholy, the emperor has called someone, so why not stay?
……

After everyone left, Liu Jian stayed to face Liu Hong.

Liu Hong put away his smile just now, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Xiaolian, do you know the inside story of today's incident?"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "I know."

"Know? Hehe, do you really know? I don't believe it, I tell you, you were used by those old things!"

Liu Jian laughed secretly in his heart when he heard the words.

Is the emperor trying to differentiate?
He respectfully replied: "I do know."

Liu Hong frowned slightly: "Do you know? Knowing that you are still so ruthless? Thanks to Cao Poshi's heir, otherwise you would have cut off the family's roots. This can be regarded as a feud."

"I have already had a feud with him, don't be afraid! If I don't know that I am being used by others, I definitely won't be like this. It is precisely because I know that I am being used that I want to be ruthless... because I don't want to be used by others for nothing. Your Majesty will not be used by others only if you are ruthless, compared to not embarrassing Your Majesty, what is it if you are used by others?"
