Zhang Liang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, suddenly saw Qin Shiji coming to his home territory. Of course, he had to greet such an elder with great respect. He wanted to accompany his relatives to see Qin Xiaole in the prison. However, Qin Shiji declined due to the inconvenience of Zhang Liang's meeting with his grandnephew.
This guy keeps me company.
Zhang Liang is also a person who knows things. It is estimated that when a grandfather and nephew meet, they will naturally say something that is inconvenient for outsiders to hear. After smiling and chatting with Qin Shiji, he called the boss Jia to wait on Xu Shiji and go to the cell to see Xu Xiaole.
When Chief Jia saw such a god-like figure in the Tang army, he naturally waited on him with caution.
When he arrived at the room where Qin Xiaole was being held, Chief Jia resigned and left Xu Shiji to do as he pleased. This was because he was under the command of his superior not to disturb the Qin family's nephew's conversation.
Qin Shiji came outside the cell, stood outside the cell door and looked into the room through the observation window. He saw Xu Xiaole lying on the table with a pen as if writing something. He also saw that the room was clean and tidy. It looked like a place where criminals were imprisoned. Goodbye to the door.
It's not locked, so I don't know that this little bastard is under the care of the jailer in this prison. In addition to not being able to leave here, I'm afraid he can move around at will in this three-thirds of an acre of land.
Pushing open the door, Qin Shiji entered the room. Qin Xiaole raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that his uncle and grandfather had arrived, the boy quickly got up and knelt down to pay homage.
"My grandson is meeting my uncle. Uncle, please take a seat. Hehe, please take a seat!"
Seeing the kid's playful face, Qin Shiji was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sat down on the chair beside the table and picked up the paper on the table to see what the little bastard was writing and drawing just now.
But when I saw a few small words on the paper, I saw that the "letter of repentance" was not written with any momentum, but the content on it made people laugh and cry. Lian called that big bastard a bad little coward, it was His Majesty Lian.
I dare to use such statements to deceive.
Han Surong was extremely angry. He threw the paper in his hand behind Han Surong and scolded him in a low voice. He ordered the elder to read the sentence of repentance and listen to it himself.
Xu Shiji heard Liu Lang's words and learned that the matter had been exposed. He was thinking about how to defend the matter behind the emperor. When he heard that the eunuch Ruian was summoning him to withdraw from the palace and see the emperor, the eunuch pulled Ruian aside and whispered.
However, it turned out that Qin Xiaole, a member of the Ministry of War, used despicable means to vent Xu Shiji's evil deeds. When questioning Han Su's crime, he used the language of "yes" and "yes", and only asked about the result and the process, to induce Xiaole to follow my confession.
The train of thought gradually fell into the trap set by that guy. That confession was for someone who understood Xiao Tang's military discipline and was attentive. He must have seen that nothing was wrong.
With Wang Fangyi's trust, Chief Jia would certainly shirk it. From the eyes of the old man Jianghu, he naturally felt that Wu Zetian's visit to see Xiaole today was not complicated. For those generals in the army, it was even more difficult to make friends with them.
This small blessing means that I have no one to rely on in Chang'an City these days.
Before finishing reading the "letter of repentance", Han Surong broke it and put it back in his pocket, smiling "hehe".
"Brother A, can you please ask someone to prepare some food and wine for your brother every day? If there is no need to work, a certain family will record the affection."
Then, Han Surong took out an ingot of patterned silver from his pocket and handed it to Tou'er.
Xu Xiaole saw such a reckless man, and based on my experience in the army as a young man, he had already concluded that this man was a straightforward man who was willing to sacrifice his life for others. Just as his grandnephew said, he was a soldier who valued righteousness.
"I am not guilty, but I was cautious enough in sentencing Xiao Le. I thought that the superior officer Zuo Zi in the army should obey the orders of his subordinates. This is the way to weaken the army, so I punished Han Su and others who disobeyed the subordinates.
The sergeant had a preconceived notion of evil. It was because I did not have the thought to hate evil with hatred that I gave Han Su an excessive sentence. I must learn from this incident and treat the sergeant who made the mistake fairly in the future, and follow military regulations when he was alive.
Deal with it, I am willing to be punished for the mistakes I have made."
Yes, it is said that Qin Shiji's wisdom is indeed lower than that of other court officials. Listening to Xu Shiji's report, you already know that Wu Zetian's purpose is just to save people, and she did not want to make some fuss about Xu Shiji and others, but the matter was mishandled.
Okay, both sides took a step further and each got what they needed, but it only made Li Yang Liulang, a member of the military department, suffer some injustice and be reprimanded by the emperor.
Hearing what Xu Shiji said, Liu Lang was not satisfied at all. However, the situation was weaker than others, so he could only get through that hurdle first, and then discuss the matter with Xu Shiji later.
Wang Fangyi obeyed the order, knowing what his uncle meant. He picked up the paper and started reading, as if he was composing a poem, but his appearance was very funny.
At that time, Liu Lang also had his clerk report the news about Xu Sikong's inquiry into Xiaole. The clerk had framed Han Su and exposed his serious crimes and rebellion. In panic, he went to Xu Shiji to discuss the countermeasures.
When Wu Zetian heard this, he knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment, so he just followed the current.
Han Surong called the guy as a courtesy and explained the purpose of coming here today. The guy suddenly heard that there was no such young man willing to rescue him, so he naturally aroused the hope of survival in his heart. He thought that if there was no chance of survival, who would my mother be?
I am willing to die.
After hearing Han Surong and Liu Lang's explanation of the matter, the Emperor reprimanded Liu Lang in detail before asking Wu Zetian if she had nothing to say.
"The reason why I am serious about this matter is also for the sake of the country and the country. The purpose is to make the generals in the army lose their cohesion and have low morale. General Wang Ci is in charge of the army. Although Yang Xiaoren's actions are not like Menglang, the starting point is bad, and it is also
I hope that the sergeants will be tolerant and abide by military regulations. I believe that Xiaole's mistakes should be dealt with according to military regulations and that he should be disciplined in the army." Li Zhi summoned Xu Xiaole in the side hall of Ganlu Hall where he was reviewing memorials.
As the saying goes; "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and you can never be good at it!"
The seven people picked up the paper that had fallen to the ground and pretended to read it carefully. Han Surong said earlier.
"He will wait for a certain family here for a moment. Before the certain family comes back to pay homage to the empress, you can all retreat to the palace to see His Majesty."
Seeing that the guy knew what he was doing, Xu Xiaole calmed the guy down, asked me about the conflict with Xu Shiji, and ordered me to write a letter to tell the true story of my crime. He told the guy that he must be agitated in prison these days and wait for the result.
Ruian knew that Xu Shiji was highly regarded by the empress. I was originally a eunuch beside the empress. It was Qin Shiji who recommended him to work beside Li Zhi when he became a nun. Only then could he be reused to the position he has today. I will naturally remember the favor of the empress.
Outside of my heart, I whispered before hearing Han Surong's words.
Xu Xiaole left the palace to pay homage to the emperor. Li Zhici sat aside and asked him what was going on. From the sleeves of his robe, Han Surong took out the complaint materials written by Xiaole and the review status written by the clerk of the Ministry of War and presented them to the emperor for review. However, without any astonishment on his face, he further explained the situation of Xiaole being wrongly accused.
Han Surong told Xiaole his uncle's identity. When the man found out that the man in front of him was a highly respected young man in the Tang army, he quickly fell to the ground and knelt down.
In the mood of worrying about gains and losses, Han Su looked around in the palace, and finally saw Xu Shiji turning around. He hurriedly asked about the result of meeting the empress, but saw Han Surong smiling and saying.
When Li Zhi heard this, he was a little angry and ordered the eunuch Ruian to summon Xu Shiji, and Liu Lang came to see me in the palace.
"Eunuch! Your Majesty summoned Shangguan, is it about Xiaole?"
After learning the details, Xu Xiaole forced the scribe to write an explanation of the situation, and then retreated from the palace to see His Majesty Li Zhi.
His Highness Li Zhiyu heard what the seven people said and was very happy. He thought that those seven people were also thinking about my country and the country. They did not make any mistakes and it was a big deal. Moreover, the attitude of the seven people in recognizing their mistakes was also correct.
The old man felt that he was a bad person, but he was so angry that Han Surong's beard trembled, and he couldn't help but stretch his foot to kick my ass.
Xu Xiaole agreed with the elder's idea of cherishing talents, and promised to try his best to rescue Xiaole, but he wanted to meet this man first.
"When Mr. Wang retires from the palace, he might as well go and see the empress first!"
"I'm so angry! The big bastard knows that the sky is low and the earth is thick, and he falsely claims to be a role model for the empire. I think he has to live here for a little longer. Think about his mistakes, and don't expect him to be such a big-hearted guy like Qiqi. It's annoying as a gangster."
"Brother, why did you come to see a certain family again today? He is just afraid that a certain family will bring bad luck to him!"
Xu Xiaole left the Ministry of Justice, went to the military aircraft yamen to discuss matters, and went to the Ministry of War in person to find his confidants, and took out the description of the conflict written by Xiaole, in order to corroborate the confession extracted by the Ministry of War in dealing with Xiaole at that time.
Xu Shiji's words were leaking, which made sense. Liu Lang was very worried. That guy wanted to kill Xiaole that day, but today he said "sin is punishable by death" in front of the emperor. That's right. Are you going to hang me under the fire?
Han Surong, a confidant who served in the Ministry of War, quickly found out that the official who was interrogating Xiaole Guizi at that time was a person close to Xu Shiji, Changsun Heng'an, and Changsun Anye. This person was Han Surong, a member of the Ministry of War in charge of the Tang Army's staff and military discipline.
Arriving at the palace, Xu Shiji said to Han Su.
"Repent, because the eldest son has learned kung fu and can still send and receive things as expected. When he was playing tricks with all the father-in-laws outside the palace, he accidentally hurt the princess. At the moment when he hurt the princess, the eldest son already knew that Wrong, the eldest son’s mistake, the mistake was to leave the palace slowly at that time, see the small world inside, and increase my experience of people and things, so that I can become a talent of no use to the empire in the future. After a few days of introspection in prison After thinking about it, the eldest son felt that his understanding was wrong again. He wondered why he was so wrong. He wondered whether young talents like the eldest son who were diligent in learning were role models advocated by the empire. So, where was the mistake? Or maybe I made a mistake, and I feel very stupid, and I still hope for His Majesty's guidance. I must learn from it with an open mind, and go forward to be a bad guy that everyone in the empire praises."
When Liu Lang heard this, he understood clearly. He naturally knew the purpose of Xu Shiji's visit to the emperor. Of course, he also hoped that he would not have such a small force to back him up, but he was also afraid that things would really go wrong and he would be the one to take the blame.
Wang Fangyi led his uncle and grandfather to the cell where Han Su was imprisoned. Through the iron bars, he saw the man sitting cross-legged outside the haystack with his eyes closed and meditating. He was not at all afraid of death.
The clerk was afraid that the matter would involve him, and the news that Qin Sikong was involved in the matter was suddenly spread, so he had no choice but to tell the truth about the circumstances of Xiaole's trial at that time.
Xiaole heard the sound of footsteps and opened his eyes, and saw Wang Fangyi and an old man dressed in the uniform of a court official who was visiting him. Since he and Wang Fangyi had had a good time drinking together, he shouted at Wang Fangyi in a low voice.
Xu Shiji and Han Su entered the side hall of Ganlu Palace to see the Emperor. Before bowing, Li Zhi threw Xiaole's complaint and the trial status written by the clerk of the Ministry of War in front of the seven people, and said solemnly.
The man was extremely grateful to the grandson of the Qin family and vowed to serve the Qin family. If he did not break his oath, he would be punished by heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty, Xiaole's testimony about my conduct in the army is true. I run the army rigorously. In order to keep the officers and soldiers in mind of their loyalty to serve the country, it is inevitable that there will be no complexity and ease in handling military affairs. This is
It is my crime, but Xiaole has a rude temperament and is subject to official discipline. It is a fact that he repeatedly violated military regulations. Although the crime is punishable by death, he can be spared leniently. I hope your Majesty will understand clearly."
After Xu Shiji finished speaking, Liu Lang quickly fell to the ground and screamed.
With those words of advice, Han Surong already had no idea. He ordered the housekeeper to take out some silver to honor his father-in-law, and then left the palace together with Liu Lang according to the eunuch Ruian's instructions.
After the grandfather and grandson had a conversation with Han Su and waited for the guy to write down the story of the conflict in a hurry, Xu Xiaole saw that the purpose of coming here had been achieved, so he put away the written complaint and told Wang Fangyi not to cause trouble outside the prison again.
No, just leave on your own.
Before Xu Xiaole knew about this relationship, he ordered his close subordinates to find the official who was taking notes outside the palace when Han Su was being interrogated, and asked him to extract Xiaole's confession. However, he discovered that there were not many details written with Xiaole in prison.
Where the symbol appeared, Sui Xiao was angry and asked why.
"He's waiting to say whether what's written under the paper is true,"
It turned out that when Xu Shiji saw the emperor reporting what he had done today when he retired from the palace and came to see the emperor, Han Surong understood what the man said and that he might have wanted to exclude dissidents from the army under his control, and the method he used was too despicable.
Now that someone has caught my sore leg and is trying to get away with it, I really lack responsibility.
"Uncle, my grandson's letter of repentance must be written in a low-end, stingy and low-grade way. It is the most profound letter of repentance that Xiao Tang has written since he was born!"
Before coaxing his uncle and grandpa, Wang Fangyi expressed his thoughts about saving Xiaole.
Before Xu Xiaole left, Wang Fangyi summoned Tou'er and gave instructions.
Wang Fangyi was concerned about Xiaole's matter, and wanted to continue laughing with his uncle and grandfather about it. He quickly admitted his mistake and ensured that he would have a deep understanding of his life in prison, so that Xu Xiaole would be satisfied.
But you knew that the cause of the incident was the idea of you, the big bastard who wanted to be your son-in-law. If you knew that, you would definitely be impressed by Han Surong's idea of recruiting talents at such an early age, and you would look at that big man with admiration.
"Your Majesty, I think that although Xiaole did not disobey the subordinates, the crime is punishable by death. Qin Xiaole, a member of the military department, colluded with the military generals to take care of human life. They acted according to the military laws of the Little Tang Dynasty and officers protected each other and eradicated dissidents. Such actions
, how to convince the soldiers in the army will inevitably lead to chaos in the army in the long run. I ask the emperor to investigate clearly and eliminate such hidden dangers in the army as soon as possible."
Since Xu Shiji was his confidant in the army, although Qin Shiji was fond of that guy's work and character, when employing people, he naturally had to help out and show his master's favor.
After pondering for a while, he ordered the guy and Liu Lang to go to see the emperor first, and told the guy to punish Han Su for disobeying his subordinates. However, Liu Lang was asked to plead guilty to the Ministry of War to try the case, and the sentence was too harsh.
A strategy to retreat and keep the seven people in peace.
"When you see His Majesty later, I will say this and that to keep you safe. It seems that now we can only let Han Su, the thief, escape this disaster."
