"Has the trial been completed? Have all the persons involved been arrested? You also said that it has not yet ended. What crime will be charged?
Furthermore, Xin Zhongfu and the others are officials who are familiar with prisons. How come they can judge but not judge? Is there any omission in "Xingtong" that cannot be used here?" Faced with Liu Yang's request, Emperor Liu
Dandan said.
As he said that, Emperor Liu stared at Liu Yang again: "Could it be that you are soft-hearted? Are you worried? Are you influenced by those old ministers and have made so-called prudent considerations and are unwilling to expand the impact of this matter?"
Emperor Liu asked straightforwardly, and Liu Yang hesitated slightly, almost frowning and asked: "I dare to ask, do you plan to bring all the officials involved with Lu Duoxun to trial?"
Although the question was hesitant, Liu Yang's attitude was very candid and he just looked at Emperor Liu, hoping for a positive reply.
Over the years, Liu Yang rarely faced Emperor Liu so directly. After looking at each other for a while, Emperor Liu smiled softly: "Why not?"
Liu Yang took a deep breath and said: "You just said that within the imperial court, it is always inevitable for the same party to fight against the different parties. Lu Duoxun has served in many positions and has been Prime Minister for many years. He has normal communication and exchanges. I don't know how many times, I believe that.
Not all of his private parties are involved.
Once a prison is established, injustice will inevitably be caused, which is not conducive to the stability of people's hearts, and will certainly affect the unity of the imperial court. I believe that officials who are seriously involved in corruption should be punished in accordance with the law according to their crimes, and the rest should not be too implicated!"
Liu Yang expressed his attitude so firmly, even intending to go against Emperor Liu's will, but Emperor Liu didn't show any anger on his face.
Looking at Liu Yang, his eyes were calm as usual, he picked up a memorial on the imperial eucalyptus, and said slowly: "The country has been strong for so many years, and the court has been peaceful for so many years. Over time, I don't know how many problems and contradictions have accumulated.
The eucalyptus in Hexi, the banditry in the northwest, and the deterioration of public security in various places are all concrete manifestations. We cannot just see the bright side, the problems hidden behind it are more noteworthy, and we must never forget to be vigilant.
There are many contradictions and countless problems, but in the final analysis, it is still a human problem. Including the original adjustment of the feudal officials and the transfer of generals from various frontiers, it is a process of adjustment.
And after so many years, the imperial court also needs adjustment, and it has reached the point where it needs to be cleaned up! This is governing the country, and it is also curing diseases, do you understand?"
Liu Yang's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he somewhat understood that Emperor Liu wanted to take this opportunity to rectify the courtiers and purge the court atmosphere.
"As for the impact or not, there is no need to worry about it. The imperial court will not be unable to operate just because it is missing one Ludosun or hundreds of officials. Let alone hundreds of people, it is thousands or tens of thousands. How can it be done?
How about it? Is there still a shortage of officials in the world?" The indifference revealed in Emperor Liu's words was shocking.
However, after restraining his tone, Emperor Liu sighed softly: "I actually know that this is just treating the symptoms and not the root cause. The fundamental problem is not here. To cure the root cause, we must really dig up the foundation of the empire...
..."
If Liu Yang could still understand the previous words, then Liu Yang was a bit vague with this last exclamation. He wanted to ask a question, but Emperor Liu was not interested in talking more and waved his hand: "But, you are the prince, you
Now that it has been brought up, there is no need to deliberately expand it. Just do what you have to do!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Emperor Liu's resignation made Liu Yang stunned for a moment. He quickly got up and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Over the years, it was rare for Liu Yang to be able to convince Emperor Liu. Seeing that he was a little excited, and even the title became formal in private, Emperor Liu couldn't help but wonder if he had suppressed Liu Yang too much.
Cruel.
After raising his finger to indicate, Emperor Liu asked him to sit down. A thought flashed in his mind and he asked: "What is Zhao Pu busy with recently?"
Lu Duoxun fell, how could Zhao Pu have no influence? When Emperor Liu asked about it, Liu Yang said: "Recently, Prime Minister Zhao has been leading his ministers and handling political affairs as usual. He is more serious, more practical, more complicated, and more prohibited than before.
The subordinates and ministers are discussing the matter of Lu Duoxun."
Hearing this answer, Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile: "This Zhao Zeping, he is quite stable! However, if he is not stable, it will not be him."
"You don't have anything to say about Lu Duoxun?" Emperor Liu asked again as if confirming.
Liu Yang shook his head: "Not only that, but none of the officials who filed the impeachment complaint against Lu Duoxun had a deep relationship with Prime Minister Zhao, including his subordinates and close officials!"
"Zhao Pu!" Emperor Liu was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a long sigh. After sighing, he raised a slight smile on his lips. Liu Yang ordered: "Even the ministers of the Zhuguo like Lu Duoxun have been taken down. He, the prime minister,
How can you be so calm and detached from everything else?
Didn't you say that Lu Duoxun has always refused to confess? I won't blame Xin Zhongfu and the others. I'll find help for them and let Zhao Pu go and examine it in person. The one who knows the other party best will always be his opponent. These two
Enemies and adversaries, if they meet under the current circumstances, they will probably have a lot to say!"
Somewhat understanding of Emperor Liu's intention, Liu Yang thought for a moment and nodded yes.
"Not bad, really good!" After Liu Yang left, Emperor Liu sat there and murmured to himself, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
On the side, Yan Tuo listened and saw that Emperor Liu's mood improved, and he also took the initiative to ask: "Does the official have any instructions?"
Glancing at him, Emperor Liu pointed in the direction of the palace door and said, "Have you noticed any changes in the prince?"
Yan Tuo heard this, his eyes rolled around for a moment, and he humbly replied: "Small human beings with human eyes are so stupid that I really can't understand it!"
"He dares to speak out to me and express his attitude and opinions!" Emperor Liu said calmly: "After thirty years, it is time to have his own opinions! The prince of the Han Dynasty needs to have this responsibility, I
What I want is not a submissive prince who can only nod his head and say yes. I have always been worried that if he blindly obeys me, he will develop a cowardly nature, but now it seems that I am a little too worried.
Not bad, very good..."
Obviously, Emperor Liu was quite satisfied with his prince.
...
The place where Lu Duoxun was imprisoned was the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which was also known as the Heavenly Prison according to folk rumors. Of course, for a minister like Lu Duoxun to be imprisoned, he was sentenced to prison.
Probably out of respect for his powerful position before being imprisoned, compared to ordinary prisons, Lu Duosun's place was much cleaner and tidier. There was not so much coldness and dampness, and there were not those ghastly torture instruments. There was even a window that could
I saw the sunshine outside the wall and heard the insects chirping in the trees. However, the guards were stricter and the patrols were closer, accompanied by almost endless silence.
"Come here, give me a pen, give me paper, I want to make a speech to His Majesty!" The roar echoed continuously in the prison passage, a little hoarse. Lu Duoxun, with disheveled hair and a prison uniform, held onto the bars and roared a few more times.
.
"Jailer! Jailer!"
Probably because he was afraid that Lu Dosun would really shout out his voice, after a while, the jailer finally reacted and walked over slowly. The sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the silent corridor.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with rough skin and a slight hunchback. He was wearing the clothes of a jailer and had nothing in his hand except a knife.
Across the sill, the warder saluted Lu Duoxun: "Ms. Lu, please don't embarrass me, just stay here and save some energy!"

"I want to write a letter to Your Majesty, please bring me a pen and paper!" Lu Duoxun stared at the jailer and urged.
"Xiangong Lu, why are you doing this? I just provide you with paper and pen. If you write, how can you go up to heaven to hear it? The prison cell you are in is completely sealed, and no one is allowed to leave.
Home..." The jailer sighed.
Hearing this, Lu Duoxun sneered twice: "Sure enough, there is a traitor who wants to harm me! If I am criticized, I will deceive the saints. I have something to say now, but my way of saying it is blocked. You are not afraid of the liquidation in the future.
?"
These words frightened the jailer a little, and he hurriedly said: "Ms. Lu, this has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Dosun laughed twice more, but his emotions were not as excited as he showed. He looked at the jailer and asked playfully: "You little jailers are short-sighted and are used to making mistakes when the wind blows. I'm here now."
Feng Lingqiao, why are you still so respectful to me?"
Seeing that Lu Duosun had become more at ease, the warder couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and responded with a smile: "Although the young man has mediocre skills, he works in the prison and is still very interested in some stories of his predecessors. He also worked in the bookstore
I have heard the story of the resurgence of the ashes, and I still remember it. Although Mr. Lu is temporarily in trouble, there is no guarantee that one day he will become the ashes of the resurgence like Han Anguo. How dare I offend him?"
"Haha!" Probably because the jailer's words were a bit flattering, Lu Duoxun laughed twice and said with emotion to him: "I never thought that this humble little official would have such knowledge, it is very rare!"
"I don't dare!" said the jailer, "therefore, I would like to ask Xianggong Lu to exert some restraint. Maybe the pardon edict will come?"
Lu Duoxun fell into deep thought, and the aggressiveness in his eyes disappeared for a long time. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Having survived the story of resurgence, do you know how valuable a jailer is?"
