Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters disappointment

It was also difficult for Liu Xiu to believe that his uncle would have an affair with Gongsun Shu. This uncle of his was a bit stubborn in temperament and may not have a very smart mind, but he could still maintain the most basic bottom line. Liu Xiu pondered.

After a while, he asked: "Li Zhongcheng, apart from King Zhao, have you never revealed Li Bing's identity to anyone else?"

Li You said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have only mentioned it to King Zhao, and I have never revealed it to anyone else!"

Liu Xiu asked: "Why did you reveal Li You's identity to King Zhao!"

"This...is...wei Chen couldn't shirk it, so...he had to reveal it to King Zhao!"

Liu Xiu asked doubtfully: "Did King Zhao take the initiative to ask you about this matter?"

Li You nodded. Now that things have happened, he has nothing to hide. He said: "King Zhao has purchased a lot of land in Nanyang and was worried that the imperial envoy would investigate, so he specifically asked Wei Chen about the imperial envoy's situation.

List.”

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows. His uncle had spent all his time on this. He was particularly concerned about buying a land and a house, as if he was afraid of not having enough money. He was a dignified prince, and he was not afraid of being betrayed if he spread the news.

joke!

He nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this, and that's it for now. There's no need to mention it again in the future."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Li Youchang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but lift up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Liu Xiu continued: "Also, you are not allowed to mention what was discussed today to anyone. If the news leaks out again, no matter who it is revealed to, I will punish you severely!"

Hua Feiyan, Feng Yi, and Li You all bowed and responded: "I, my concubine, obey your orders!"

Liu Xiu turned to look at Feng Yi and said, "Gongsun, it's rare for you to come back to Beijing. Go home early, see your family, and have a good rest. I'm afraid you'll be busy again."

Feng Yi understood what Liu Xiu meant. He bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave."

Just as he was about to exit the hall, Liu Xiu suddenly stopped him again. Then, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Feng Yi, and said, "This is the emperor's jade talisman. Seeing the talisman is like seeing me. With this jade talisman,

Gongsun can dispatch three auxiliary officials!"

Feng Yi was secretly surprised. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He hurriedly walked to Liu Xiu, knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty trusts Wei Chen so much. Wei Chen... Wei Chen...

I am terrified."

Liu Xiu stood up, walked to Feng Yi, helped him up, and said: "I have said before, between you and me, we are king and subject, and we are brothers and sisters. Even now, lying in the palace, I will still

I often dream about that bowl of bean porridge back then!"

His words almost made Feng Yi cry. Without another word, Feng Yi knelt down on his knees again, kowtowed three times in a row, and then raised his hands.

Liu Xiu put the jade talisman in Feng Yi's hand and said meaningfully: "The third assistant is Xijing, the important place of the country, so I will give it to Gongsun!"

Feng Yi wiped the tears from his eyes, sniffed, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "The third assistant is here, and the minister is alive. If the third assistant is missing, the minister will raise his head to see your majesty!"

Liu Xiu helped Feng Yi up again, patted his shoulder, and said: "Gongsun's return to Beijing this time is really special, so I won't reward him. I will definitely reward him heavily when Gongsun returns to Beijing next time!"

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Feng Yi bowed and saluted, and then exited the hall.

Liu Xiu gave all the emperor's jade talismans to Feng Yi, which made Li You grin secretly.

This jade talisman can mobilize not only the three auxiliary officials, but also officials, soldiers and horses under the rule of Luoyang. How much trust does your majesty have in Feng Yi!

When Feng Yi left the palace, his eye circles were red, and he had obviously just cried. He looked completely lost, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. Feng Yi left the palace, got on the carriage, and went directly back to his mansion.

After returning home, he never came out, visited or saw any visitors.

The next morning, Feng Yi left home early and went to the palace. Many ministers were surprised when they saw Feng Yi coming to court. They had not heard at all about Feng Yi's return to Beijing yesterday.

Some generals who were good friends with Feng Yi came forward to greet each other one after another. Feng Yi exchanged greetings with everyone who came to greet him, but he seemed absent-minded, didn't talk much, and looked worried.

When Liu Xiu arrived at Qufei Hall, the ministers entered the palace and paid homage to the emperor. The three princes went to sit down and the other ministers stood on both sides. Before anyone else could say anything, Li You took the lead in attacking Feng Yi. He stepped out of the line and gave Liu Xiu a deep salute.

He said: "Your Majesty, the general who conquered the West secretly executed the Chang'an order in Chang'an. This is a serious crime. He also allowed the people of Sanfu to call him 'King of Xianyang'. His disobedience is clearly revealed. Please, Your Majesty."

Mingjian!"

As soon as Li You finished speaking, another minister came out, holding the Wat board in both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion!"

Li You, the censor Zhongcheng, kicked off the impeachment of Feng Yi, and the civil servants and ministers all seconded the proposal.

The general was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head. People turned their gazes to Feng Yi and signaled him with their eyes to stop standing here and beg His Majesty for mercy!

Liu Xiu turned to look at Feng Yi and asked expressionlessly: "What can General Feng say?"

Feng Yi lowered his head and whispered: "Weichen...Weichen has nothing to say!"

"I have nothing to say!" Li You glanced at Feng Yi, raised his hands to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy Li Bing was killed in Chang'an. The minister thought that the matter must be related to the general who conquered the west.

!”

Feng Yi was shocked, turned around and glared at Li You, and said in a strong voice: "Li Zhongcheng, please don't slander anyone!"

Li You said tit for tat: "General Zhengxi hated Li Bing for reporting you, so he sent someone to kill him in the inn!"

Feng Yi turned pale with anger, stretched out his hand and asked: "Does Li Zhongcheng have any evidence?"

Li You said seriously: "Although I have no evidence, my inference is reasonable!"

Feng Yi said angrily: "Without any evidence, you just framed me!"

Li You asked back: "Is Li Bingzhi's report also a frame-up?"

Feng Yi stopped talking and glared at Li You, clenching his fists tightly.yyls

Liu Xiu's eyes swept between Feng Yi and Li You, and he seemed to be in a dilemma about how to deal with Feng Yi.

At this time, Wang Yuan, the admonishing doctor, came out, raised his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "General Feng made such a big mistake. I wonder if your Majesty is going to deal with General Feng like this?"

"this……"

"Does your Majesty still want to continue to protect General Feng?" Wang Yuan's face turned red and he gasped: "The state has national laws and the family has family rules. General Feng first killed the Chang'an order and then killed the imperial envoy. It was a heinous crime. If

Your Majesty still wants to protect me, which really chills the hearts of the courtiers and even the people of the world. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful!" Many civil servants knelt down and kowtowed forward.

Liu Xiu rubbed his forehead. After a while, he looked at the Grand Situ Fu Zhan and the Grand Sikong Song Hong and asked, "Fu Gong, what do Song Gong think?"

Before Fu Zhan could speak, Song Hong said seriously: "Your Majesty, I believe that laws must be followed, and no matter who violates the law, they should be punished according to the law." The implication is that he also supports Wang Yuan and others.

Feng Yi needs to be dealt with.

Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Now is the time for the country to recruit people. General Feng is good at running the army and even better at fighting. He leads the army to guard the western border. The three assistants are impregnable. Now it would be inappropriate to question General Feng, right?"

Song Hong said: "Doctor Wang once said that Xia Jie and Shang Zhou were also talented. We all thought so. With the talents of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, they all ended up in the destruction of the country. I hope your majesty will take this as a warning and not make the same mistake again."

!”

Last time Wang Yuan used Xia Jie and Shang Zhou as a metaphor, Liu Xiu was very angry. Today Song Hong also used Xia Jie and Shang Zhou as a metaphor, and Liu Xiu was so angry that her liver hurt.

In fact, he just wanted to see if, given the current situation, there were ministers in the DPRK who really wanted to severely punish Feng Yi. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few such ministers, including Song Hong.

Liu Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Fu Zhan and asked, "What does Mr. Fu mean?"

Fu Zhan frowned. According to the law, Feng Yi should indeed be severely punished. But the problem is, if Feng Yi is punished, who can lead the Western Expedition Army?

The officers and soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army are all capable of fighting and have outstanding military exploits. It is not possible for the imperial court to randomly assign a general to suppress them.

Fu Zhan thought about it and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Majesty, General Feng is certainly at fault, but... General Feng guarded the western border, repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, and made outstanding achievements, which... is enough to make up for it!"

When Song Hong heard this, he looked sideways at Fu Zhan. He really didn't expect that Fu Zhan could say such a thing. Ruling the country according to law is the foundation of a country. Is Fu Zhan trying to destroy this idea now? Song Hong said to Liu Xiu:

"Your Majesty often says that merit should be rewarded and deeds should be punished. When governing a country, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined and cannot be confused! General Feng has indeed made outstanding achievements, but General Feng has indeed committed serious crimes. I hope that your Majesty will govern the country in accordance with the law and refrain from favoritism!"

Song Hong, the Grand Sikong, stood up to speak. Wang Yuangeng, the remonstrating official, became more energetic and eloquent. He reasoned with Liu Xiu eloquently and gave examples.

Liu Xiu looked impatient and waved his hand to Wang Yuan. After thinking for a long time, he turned to look at Deng Chen and said, "Deng Tingwei!"

Deng Chen hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen is here!"

"The case of General Feng will be tried by you!"

The person who originally held the post of Tingwei was Cen Peng. Later, Cen Peng was promoted to General Zhengnan, and the person who took over as Tingwei kept changing. Finally, it was Deng Chen's turn, and the selection of Tingwei was stabilized.

Ting Wei is the highest official in charge of judicial affairs. In modern terms, Ting Wei is the president of the Supreme Court. Hearing that Liu Xiu entrusted him with this job, Deng Chen secretly grinned, but could not shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "

I obey your orders!"

Liu Xiu reminded: "Deng Tingwei must not unjustly accuse good people, nor can he cover up and connive when the evidence is solid."

Deng Chen bowed and responded: "I will remember your Majesty's teachings!"

Song Hong, Wang Yuan and other ministers were not satisfied with the matter of Liu Xiu handing Feng Yi over to Deng Chen for trial.

Deng Chen and Feng Yi are old comrades-in-arms, old friends, and old friends. If Deng Chen is allowed to try Feng Yi's case, I'm afraid it will just end in nothing.

"Your Majesty" Song Hong, Wang Yuan and others still wanted to speak. Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I'm tired. Let's end today's meeting here!" As he spoke, he held his forehead with one hand and waved with the other.

Wave your sleeves.

Although today's court meeting was just a show, Liu Xiu was very disappointed with Song Hong's performance.

Song Hong pays attention to governing the country according to the law, which is not wrong in itself, but it also depends on the current environment. However, Song Hong has no vision and consideration in this regard. In contrast, Fu Zhan can think of this.
