Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 249

[249. two forty-eight chapters]

When I got the camp, it was already dark.

Que Wu dismounted and bowed to the crowd: “Your Excellencies, the last commander will report to Your Majesty.”

Zhu Yushen’s military tent is facing the Funan River. It was found in the middle that there is a universe inside, with a dragon throne and an imperial case on it, and a three-zhang-long map of the territory of the Great Sui hanging on the left.

Zhu Yushen was not wearing the emperor’s robes, and his uniform was still tall and straight. He stood in front of the territory map with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something. When he heard everyone pay his respects to him, he responded: “Be flat.” He didn’t return until the results of his thoughts came to fruition. Turning his head, his eyes flicked over Shen Xi and asked, “Why are you here?”

Shen Xi went to Xingdusi last night. After sending Zhu Nanxian away this morning, he went back to Jinzhou Fu Yamen first because he was worried about Su Jin’s safety. I have never come to see Zhu Yushen before.

Shen Xi stepped forward and bowed: “Go back to your majesty, your majesty set up a road in Yungui, and made Annan as the province of Jiaozhi, then the yellow book and fish scale book in the southwest area will be checked and changed accordingly. Your Majesty’s important matter is to come here in person. Your Majesty can rest assured that the government has been properly arranged before leaving, and there are Ten Highnesses and Qian Shangshu on the left and right, and there will be no mistakes.”

Zhu Yu listened to his nonsense, but there was not much. After thinking about it, he just said lightly: “Liu Yun and Shu Yu are not in the capital, are you trying to exhaust the old ten when you leave?”

Shen Xi wanted to explain again, Zhu Yushen waved his hand: “Forget it, I will be punished for one year, and after returning to the capital. , write a letter of invitation to give it to me.”

In fact, why did Shen Qingyue appear in Sichuan, why did Zhu Yushen not know?

However, the world is in a critical period of breaking the old and establishing the new, and the Ministry of Household is the foundation of change. Zhu Yushen is unwilling to move, nor will he move this capable and intelligent Minister of the Ministry of Household.

Looking at everyone again: “I heard that the head of the household department, Lu, died. Who among you will give me an explanation?”

Zhai Dimai, who was waiting in the tent for a moment, took a step forward and said, “Your Majesty, this Director Lu of the Household Department was killed by… the minister himself. At that time, Director Lu wanted to take away the townspeople of Cuiwei Town to ask the guilt, how do you know the inn When chaos broke out, innocent people suffered disaster. The situation was urgent, and the minister had no choice but to kill him.” He said, and bowed down, “Please forgive me.”

There was actually only one reason for Zhai Di to kill Lu Dingze . , to help Zhu Nanxian hide his identity.

Zhu Yu said in a deep cold voice: “The Metropolitan Court decides on trivial matters, and judges on major matters. Now, the life of the imperial court officials is a trivial matter in the eyes of you and the imperial censor. Can you execute it at will?”

Zhai Di buried his head: “Your Majesty , this matter is that the minister is reckless and radical, and the minister is willing to–”

“I know better than you what is going on in this matter.” Zhu Yushen interrupted, “The case of the head of the household department Lu, after returning to Beijing, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will deal with it. Take over, as for you, from now on, you will be suspended pending trial, and will be dealt with after the investigation is done.”

Zhai Di kowtowed: “I thank Your Majesty for your grace.”

Zhu Yushen’s eyes fell on Liu Chaoming: “Liu Yun, I heard that, Did you move Jinyiwei again today?”

Liu Chaoming only responded: “Go back to Your Majesty, yes.”

Zhu Yu laughed deeply: “This Jinyiwei is really used to listening to your orders, and I’m not afraid that I will even ask the Ducha Yuan together. Is it a crime of treason?”

His tone was flat, but loud, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

However, after Zhu Yushen finished speaking, he did not wait for Liu Chaoming to answer, but instead walked to the front of the territory map with his hands behind his back, staring carefully at the northern corner.

After a while, he said: “Beiliang’s ambition is immortal. After my class teacher returns to the court, I am afraid that I will have to fight again soon. In recent years, you have managed the government very well. If you have sinned, I will temporarily protect you from the position of chief and auxiliary in the cabinet.” When he

said this, everyone was shocked.

Shu Wenlan stunned and said: “Your Majesty, Master Liu’s manipulation of the Jinyiwei has been seen by many people. If Your Majesty does not punish, it may be difficult to accept…”

However, before he finished speaking, Zhu Yushen raised his hand to stop him.

Zhu Yu looked at Liu Chaoming deeply, and continued: “Although I will protect your position as first and second assistant, but, as Shu Yu said, you arbitrarily moved Jinyiwei and condoned your subordinate Zhai Qiguang to kill the court officials indiscriminately. As the censor of Zuodu, you have not fulfilled your duty of supervision, so you have made a big mistake. I have decided to remove you from the position of censor of Zuodu, and remove all your positions in the censorship from now on. Afterwards , he will no longer be the censor.”

After hearing this, Liu Chaoming’s calm eyes sparked a shock.

He lost his mind for a moment, looked at Zhu Yushen, and couldn’t believe it: “Your Majesty?

”

It’s not that he didn’t think about the consequences of acting rashly on Jin Yiwei, but he was in a hurry, and Zhu Yushen was convicted. It was a big deal that he would not be the first assistant nor the regent, and he would not even be the censor of the left. Even if he turned back to be a seventh-rank supervisor, He was happy to go back to the basics when he went to the local inspection office, but he never imagined that Zhu Yushen would remove all his posts in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Liu Yun had no obsessions in his life, even if he had, he had cut himself into ashes and buried it deep in his heart.

Only to take the post of censor, never wavered.

Li Qiu couldn’t help but said: “What does your Majesty mean by not letting Lord Liu serve as the censor? Lord Liu has been in the Imperial Court for more than ten years. , I am willing to use my life to protect Lord Liu, please ask Your Majesty to resume the post of Lord Censor.”

Zhai Di also said: “Your Majesty, the killing of Lu Dingze is the fault of one of the ministers, and it has nothing to do with Lord Liu. If you remove your post, it is better to remove your minister’s post.”

Shen Xi paused for a while and said, “Your Majesty, now that Zhao Yan has taken office, even if you removed Liu Yun from the post of the imperial censor of the Zuodu, there is no one in the prefectural court. For this great responsibility, according to what the minister sees, it is better to keep him in the prefectural court and expose his guilt to all the officials, so that he can be found guilty and make merit?”

Zhu Yushen did not answer.

His eyes swept away from everyone, and finally fell on Su Jin, and said lightly: “Su Shiyu, you also served as the censor in the Duchayuan, but it can be said that Liu Yun brought it up by himself, what do you do with this matter? See? Do you also think that I shouldn’t dismiss him?”

Su Jin didn’t expect that Zhu Yushen would ask himself this question, opened his mouth to answer, only to realize that he had a thousand words in his heart, but at this moment he couldn’t utter a single word. .

It was Liu Yun who personally led her on this road, led her to make up her mind, and taught her the responsibilities of being a censor.

She used to take him as her teacher, her brother, her confidant, her fellow traveler, and her bright moon, but when she found out that he was unscrupulous and violated his principles, she was disappointed and parted ways with each other.

Why the censor?

Or take a step back and say, why set things right and keep one mind?

Su Jin has not fully understood this issue until today, and she doesn’t think that she has done well. When she fought Liu Yun to the death, she had tried every means, but in the end, she was the king and the loser.

It is a fact that Liu Yun acted rashly in his own army and guards, and it is also a fact that Zhai Di indiscriminately killed officials of the imperial court, and Liu Yun, as the censor of Zuodu, failed to fulfill his duty of supervision.

Each and every one of them is enough to punish Liu Yun’s death penalty. It can be said that Zhu Yushen still retains Liu Yun’s position as the first assistant, and only removes his post in the Supreme Court.

Even if Su Jin knew that, for Liu Chaoming, he would rather be dismissed, convicted, or even imprisoned for the rest of his life, rather than stay in the court in this way.

When Su Jin spoke, his voice was a little hoarse: “The guilty minister thought that since Mr. Liu became the censor…”

“No need to say.”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Liu Chaoming.

It was a quiet night outside the military tent, the river in Funan was gurgling, and there was a cloud of mist in Liu Yun’s eyes, making it hard to tell the sadness and joy in it.

“Chen Liu Yun, thank you for taking the blame.”
