Chapter 465 Fooling Liu Song(1/2)
Author: Mo Se Jiangnan
Zhu Han personally presided over the public trial for three consecutive days. During this period, thirty-three officials were beheaded.
It can be said that the entire Yanjing officialdom is rotten to the core.
During this period, Liangxiu Qingfeng was not truly wronged.
only……
Very few.
To say it is rare is an understatement.
This is because Zhu Han is presiding over these cases, so he only Zhu Han is the evil leader and is not involved in any serious cases.
If it were Lao Zhu, not only tens of thousands of people would be implicated, but it would all be due to Lao Zhu's great kindness.
After these three days of madness, the people of Yanjing finally calmed down.
The number of people watching the public trial was also much lower than during the peak period.
However, the number of people who came to watch the public trial was still very impressive.
Zhu Han was quite satisfied with one thing. Finally, these people did not start cheering long live as soon as they got excited like before.
Therefore, after the trial ended on the third day, Zhu Han called Liu Song over for tea.
Moreover, he personally served Liu Song tea: "Master Liu has been working hard recently. If Master Liu hadn't been so absorbed in solving the case, this public trial would never have gone so smoothly."
Liu Song, however, did not show any respect at all, but said in a neutral tone: "The humble minister is just doing his duty, and he does not deserve such praise from the prince."
"Your Majesty, there are still many cases to be handled by Wei Chen. If Your Majesty has nothing important to do, please excuse me and leave."
In the past, Xu Da didn't understand Liu Song's personality, so he might have become angry and wanted to deal with Liu Song.
Zhu Han was the prince of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how good-tempered he was, Liu Song, a courtier, could not be so scornful.
But now, Xu Da is just holding tea and watching the fun leisurely.
I usually see Zhu Han training others like his third grandson, but it is a rare opportunity to see Zhu Han being helpless to someone, which is quite interesting.
The smile on Zhu Han's face was a little stiff.
No wonder in real history, Liu Song was directly sent home to farm by Lao Zhu.
I also understand why those wise kings in history, no matter how stupid they are, always have a few people around them who are good at flattering others.
No matter how strong your abilities are, no matter how talented you are, if you don't speak well, it's naturally not easy for people to like you.
From this we can see that there is a reason why Li Shimin could become an emperor throughout the ages.
When a person has absolute rights, it is difficult for most people to restrain their desires.
It is really valuable to have a person like Wei Zheng by his side, whose loyal words are always harsh to the ears.
Anyway, Zhu Han felt that just after saying these few words to Liu Song, he already couldn't stand this guy.
The person in front of you is also the founder of the Ming Dynasty after all. Can you be more respectful?
But after all, Zhu Han is not such a superficial person. He knows that if a country wants to develop, it must have people who are sincere and unafraid of power.
In the current situation in Yanjing, if only someone with a more sophisticated attitude could come over.
He needs to do at least three times more.
And looking at his attitude, has Liu Song forgotten that he was the one who took the initiative to block the gun for him?
Otherwise, those few long live shouts would be enough to kill him.
However, for the sake of Liu Song's ability to do things, Prince Zhu decided not to argue with this guy.
He chuckled twice and said: "Since I asked Mr. Liu to come here, of course I have something important to discuss with Mr. Liu."
"Please give me your advice, Your Majesty."
Zhu Han felt an inexplicable pain in his balls.
how to say?
It's like some people's voices don't sound very nice.
But he deliberately pinched his throat and pretended to have a weak voice.
It can no longer be fake.
But what can Zhu Han do? He chooses people by himself, and he chooses them with tears in his eyes...
Ahem.
Anyway, ability...ability is the most important thing.
Suppressing the depression in his heart, Zhu Han laughed and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I hope that Mr. Liu can continue to preside over the public trial. As you know, I am very busy..."
At the beginning, Liu Song didn't realize what Zhu Han was going to say.
When Zhu Han was halfway through speaking, Liu Song came to his senses.
Liu Song's face suddenly turned green when he thought of the previous scene where all the people cheered long live.
Without thinking, he refused directly: "Absolutely impossible!"
…
Zhu Han swallowed back the second half of his words and looked at Liu Song in confusion.
what's the situation?
Is this old brother Liu Song crazy?
Although he spoke to Liu Song in a negotiating tone.
But this is the same as the leaders of later generations talking to their own subordinates.
No matter how dark-hearted the leader is, he will obviously let his subordinates take the blame or do any dirty work.
I wish I could cut this bullshit leader into 17 or 18 pieces, put them in a rocket, and launch him directly into the sun, completely wiping him out.
On the surface, you have to laugh along, right?
No matter how upright you are, you should at least pretend to be extremely embarrassed when faced with the leader's apparent concern and respect.
After some hesitation, do you want to refuse the leader with a more euphemistic reason?
How can anyone be so confident and confident in rejecting the leader's "good intentions"?
Xu Da, who was drinking tea, almost couldn't hold it back and spit out the tea in his mouth.
He quickly turned his head away, suppressing his laughter with great difficulty.
Green veins appeared on Zhu Han's forehead, and he forced a smile and said: "I am a little confused as to what Mr. Liu means by these words. If what I remember is correct..."
"I would like to advise Your Majesty that the original purpose of bringing Lord Liu here is to preside over the public trial."
"Master Liu, are you not even willing to do your own job?"
If it had been anyone else, being questioned like this by a prince, even if he was standing upright, he would probably feel a little guilty.
Liu Song was different, he said confidently: "The prince also saw the previous scene."
"The people have been suffering from these corrupt officials for a long time. Every time these corrupt officials are dealt with, the people will cheer, and there will even be some..." He hesitated and then added.
"Treasonous and unethical words."
"A humble minister is a minister after all. I cannot bear these words and I dare not bear them."
"So, I can only ask the prince to continue to preside over the public trial and bring peace to the people."
Zhu Han stood up, pretending to be angry and sneered: "Okay, okay! You Liu Song are really loyal to my name."
There was so much sarcasm in these words that it was impossible for Liu Song not to hear it.
But compared to being shouted "long live" by those people.
Liu Song thought this bit of ridicule was acceptable.
Zhu Han looked at him condescendingly: "You are a minister, am I not a minister?"
"You can't bear it, how can I, the king, be able to bear it?"
"As a subject, I leave all these dangerous matters to the king, while I go aside and do the easiest thing."
"Liu Song..." Zhu Han's eyes were like lightning, and he said word by word: "Is this your loyalty to my Ming Dynasty?"
When Liu Song heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been struck by lightning: "This... this..."
Xu Da, who was watching the excitement from the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Shameless, absolutely shameless.
During this time, it was Liu Song who was obviously doing the hard work.
He saw with his own eyes that Liu Song got up to work before dawn every day and would not go to bed until midnight.
The trial is not as simple as it seems on the surface. In order to find evidence, Liu Song often even had to go there himself.
To be continued...
