Lu Bai felt that as long as he could investigate the case, he wouldn't be afraid of causing trouble.
Lu Qinghuan shook his head, "This is a vortex of struggle, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces."
There are factional disputes, the imperial power dispute between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and the struggle between the Eight Great Factions and Yiqiu Villa.
Gu Qinghuan's strategy is to be the one who ignites the fire, and leave after lighting, so as not to get burned.
Lu Bai laughed, "I like this strategy!"
However, now that this is mentioned, Lu Bai is very curious, what is the emperor who is the son of the sky, and what are the big rituals and palace changes.
Also, the "Letter to the People of Yongle City" that was concocted yesterday is now used as evidence, isn't it good?
Chapter 294 The Son of Heaven
What Lu Bai asked was a long story for a child without a mother.
However, the "Letter to the People of Yongle City" was concocted yesterday and is used as evidence today. Gu Qinghuan should set an example to teach Lu Bai well.
"Remember, in the Southern Dynasties, although there were laws, it was never the world that ruled the country by law as you mentioned. In the Southern Dynasties, the key lies in people. The person who holds the imperial power, if you make him feel threatened, don't say The concoction last night is the concoction on the spot, as long as the words are accurate and threaten the imperial power, it is no different from a month ago, a year ago, or ten years ago." Gu Qinghuan asked Lu Bai to give up the idea of talking about evidence.
"And if the dignitaries make you guilty—such as Yang Liangting, what if you are innocent even if the evidence is convincing? If you say you are guilty, you are guilty."
Gu Qinghuan also has examples at his fingertips to prove it.
She told Lu Bai that when the first emperor was in power, there was a murder case in the capital.
A fruit vendor surnamed Zhang was accused by Dongchang of killing a neighbor's wife. Although the punishment was exhausted and the suspect denied it, Dongchang was eager to solve the case and closed the case without a statement or a charge.
"The cases concluded by the East and West factories are not in the criminal department, so they have to go to the criminal department to go through the process." Gu Qinghuan told Lu Bai that this was just a formality, but he didn't want the officials to be upright, so he saw the problem of the case at a glance.
They overturned the case and caught the culprit, who was the son of the deceased.
The deceased's daughter also identified his brother as the murderer of her mother.
Erha said: "This case will be closed soon? The murderer is the son of the deceased."
Gu Qinghuan smiled, "Dongchang doesn't think so."
The Ministry of Criminal Justice dared to overturn their case, which was a provocation to them, so Dongchang took the lead in slandering the investigation officials in front of the emperor and accepting bribes from fruit vendors.
The emperor was furious, dismissed the case, and ordered the three courts to try it together.
However, the facts of the case are very clear, the murderer is the son of the deceased, there is no doubt, no refutation, and the results of the three trials are still the same.
Lu Bai felt that Dongchang and the emperor should have nothing to say now.
Gu Qinghuan nodded, "Dongchang has nothing to say, they just told the emperor that this fruit seller has provided fruit to the Gu family for a long time—"
Lu Bai didn't understand, "What does it matter?"
Erha and Hong Tailang also looked at Gu Qinghuan together, they felt that the human world was so confusing.
"It's a big relationship. At that time, the Gu family was disgusting the emperor, so the emperor let the real culprit go, and sentenced the fruit seller to be the murderer." Gu Qinghuan's tone was flat.
Lu Bai was dumbfounded, "No, why, why?"
He doesn't understand.
Lu Bai had never been an emperor, and the fruit seller was closer to him. After he consciously brought him into it, he was quite upset for this brother.
"Because he is the emperor."
Gu Qinghuan said, "When he is happy, he may not be able to bring a person back from the dead, but if he is unhappy, he can definitely make a person die without a place to die."
Erha and Hong Tailang looked at each other, "Grandma, so the emperor is also a monster."
Isn't this just how they behave like monsters, kill them if you want.
Not right either.
Generally, those who do this are evil monsters.
Yun Niang brought a cup of tea, and Gu Qinghuan took a sip to moisten his lips and tongue, and said, "I said so much, just to tell you that for a powerful person, evidence is not important, what is important is not to be trusted by him, Let him not like it."
If the emperor trusts the Lord of Yongle City, and the Lord of Yongle City really rebels, the Emperor can turn a blind eye.If the emperor doesn't like it and he doesn't rebel, the emperor will regard him as a rebellion.
"The emperor is now standing on the side of the eight major factions, and regards Yiqiu Villa as a thorn in the flesh, so even if these evidences are made now, they are true to the ears of the emperor. What's more, what is written in the letter to the people is not false. Yes." Gu Qinghuan said.
She advised Lu Bai that when walking in this world, sometimes evidence can be created or turned a blind eye, and he must learn to make good use of this.
"Under different rules, you have to follow different rules. Don't let others play backgammon, but you stick to Go, and lose in the end."
Lu Bai nodded.
He felt that what Gu Qinghuan said was good, but the world he hoped for should not be like this.
and so--
"I want to be the one who makes the rules of chess," Lu Bai said.
Gu Qinghuan glanced at Lu Bai, didn't say much, but asked the boatman to row back, they were going ashore.
A boat sails on the water as it sails in the sky.
Erha was still holding the fox demon in his hand, and asked Lu Bai, "What should he do now?"
Lu Bai thought for a while, "Hand him over to Jin Yiwei later, and replace Yang Liangting. As for how to deal with it, Jin Yiwei should handle the usual monster murder case."
The fox demon struggled violently, "Grandpa, I'm just a monster, demon king, sir, we are both born monsters, why rush!"
Hong Tailang gave him a kick, "Who the hell is with you, speak more civilized."
"Yes, yes, the little demon used the wrong words, but that's the reason, my lords—" the fox demon looked at the two monsters imploringly.
Erha sneered, "Huh, it's late! Grandma, you are a bear. Grandpa might let you go because you are a monster, but you dare to hide Lian'er's personal things next to you. I'll fuck you!" Grandma!"
"Damn! He hid Lian'er's things next to his body?" Hong Tailang was also angry.
They fought together and instantly turned a jade-faced little white fox into a jade-faced little black fox.
Erha relieved his muscles and bones, he felt refreshed, and worried a lot, he pointed at Yunniang, "What should she do?"
Lu Bai glanced at Yunniang.
Yun Niang stood behind Gu Qinghuan, keeping her gaze fixed and respectful.
Although Yu Shuang was taking care of Lu Bai's mansion, but Yu Shuang had to take charge of the affairs of the house, so he couldn't be by Gu Qinghuan's side all the time. Gu Qinghuan still lacked a clever servant, and Yunniang might be a good choice.
"Give her the clothes in your hand and let her put them on," Lu Bai said.
The clothes in Erha's hand were brought back in order to retrieve the sachet when he caught the fox demon, so it's useless to keep it.
He handed it to Yunniang.
In front of everyone, Yun Niang took off Gu Qinghuan's cloak, became naked, and put on the clothes Erha handed over to cover her curvy figure.
From the beginning to the end, she regarded the few people around her as air.
Of course, from the beginning to the end, Lu Bai and others didn't pay much attention to her. Erha and Hong Tailang only had Lian'er in their hearts, and Lu Bai at most regarded her as a good drum kit.
After finishing her hair, Yun Niang took Gu Qinghuan's cloak and stood respectfully behind Gu Qinghuan.
After falling into prostitution, Yun Niang thought her life had reached the bottom.
However, she is still tenacious, eager to get herself out of the vortex with talent, art, and appearance, even if she is a concubine.However, an eunuch bought it back and shared the bed with a monster, letting her know that the previous shame was nothing.
This is the real shame and shame!
So much so that at the moment when she was thrown out of the cabin and flaunted her body in the air, Yunniang wanted to die in her heart, and her world fell into an abyss of extreme shame and darkness.
No more hope, no light, no meaning of life.
However, the moment Gu Qinghuan asked her to drink tea, she seemed to see a god.
She was pulled out of the darkness by Gu Qinghuan.
She has seen another kind of life - she doesn't change her face in the rain of arrows, she can talk freely in front of thousands of households, admirals, and city lords;
If Yunniang wants to become such a person, even if she can't, she must stand by her side and enjoy the life of a woman that is different from what she has ever seen.
The boat docked.
Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan went ashore, they escorted the fox demon across the market, and rushed towards Jin Yiwei.
On the way, since Gu Qinghuan mentioned the case just now, she simply extended it directly and talked to Lu Bai about the big ceremony she mentioned just now.
"The emperor insisted on going his own way. He wanted to kill the fruit seller, which caused a shock in the government and the public. Many ministers bluntly remonstrated, which offended Longyan. The emperor dealt with a group of ministers. Among them, my grandfather, the head of the Gu family at that time, was directly punished by the imperial staff because of his old age. Killed." Gu Qinghuan said.
Lu Bai was surprised.
As the four masters of the Gu family, it is equivalent to a leg of the table in the Southern Dynasty. Will his master be beaten to death by the emperor?
There are eight major factions behind the agreed aristocratic family.
"Different from the Lu family and Yiqiu Villa, the aristocratic family is just the secular agents of the Eight Great Factions, speaking for their power, raising money for them, and collecting worldly treasures and medicinal materials for them." Gu Qing laughed happily.
If we use a metaphor, it is equivalent to the white wolf gang doing the private salt business. In a workshop, they hand over the private salt to one or a group of peddlers as agents, let them sell it, and then get the money back.
The White Wolf Gang allowed them to earn a little bit of money in the middle. Although it was a lot compared to ordinary people, the money they earned for the White Wolf Gang was a drop in the bucket.Moreover, the White Wolf Gang has the right to replace the peddler at any time, as long as Lu Bai thinks about it, the prosperity and wealth of this peddler will be a thing of the past.
"This is the relationship between the aristocratic family and the eight sects." Gu Qinghuan said.
If these peddlers went too far because of smuggling salt, such as killing someone, or breaking through the prison cell of the yamen to save people, and then they were caught by the yamen's arrest and sentenced to death——
And the White Wolf Gang and the Yamen have long had a tacit understanding. Although the White Wolf Gang can sell private salt, the White Wolf Gang must support the Yamen.
"Then, will the White Wolf Gang take care of the life and death of these street vendors?" Gu Qinghuan asked himself and answered, "No."
This is the relationship between the aristocratic family, imperial power and the Eight Great Factions.
In such a relationship, the imperial power cannot be moved, and the eight major factions dare not move, so only the aristocratic family can exchange.
"The aristocratic family can't offend the Eight Great Factions behind them, but as long as the interests of the Eight Great Factions are safeguarded, the Eight Great Factions are not too lazy to change 'private salt dealers', so the final result is that the aristocratic families unite to fight against the imperial power."
Gu Qinghuan told Lu Bai that this is party struggle.
Originally, at the beginning, party disputes were not dared to exist, because the imperial power was stronger than the eight major factions.
"The emperor of this dynasty is said to be the son of the emperor of heaven, and he has experienced in the world. After he made great achievements and conquered the great country, he rose in the daytime in front of the officials; since then, excluding the emperor who died early or died of illness, almost all the emperors who practiced Soaring up."
Therefore, the emperor has always called himself the Son of Heaven.
"As the son of heaven, the imperial power could even surpass the eight major sects at that time, because the practitioners of the eight major sects knew that even if they ascended to immortality, they would still be under the emperor in the sky, so it is better to be respectful from the beginning to the end." Gu Qinghuan explain.
During this period of time, the imperial power was at its strongest, and the emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses, and no one dared to stop him.
Until a Buddha who "all living beings are equal" appeared in the north.
He preached in the wasteland, holding flowers and smiling, Nirvana.
His teachings sprouted, grew, blossomed, and borne fruit in the northern wilderness for 200 years, and eventually became Buddhism with millions of followers.
These believers established the Buddhist kingdom.
Among them, a large number of practitioners such as Arhats, Vajras, practitioners, and Bodhisattvas emerged.
From then on, the country's fortunes that had flourished for more than 200 years began to weaken.
"Fortunately, there is a three-treasure eunuch in this dynasty." Gu Qinghuan said.
When the dynasty retreated steadily and was forced to travel south, the practitioners from the Neishu Hall left behind by the Sanbao eunuch came out in droves and defeated the 48 arhats who crossed the river on the surging river. The Guozuo of the dynasty has continued to the present.
They walked in Yongle City, crossing the streets and alleys, listening to Gu Qinghuan's eloquence: "Problems also follow-"
When the imperial court retreated, the emperor at that time died in battle, and his heirs disappeared in panic while fleeing south.However, the sky cannot live without a day, and the country cannot live without a king. Facing the situation of the broken mountains and rivers at that time, an emperor must be elected.
Baiguan finally selected the son of the emperor's uncle who died in battle to succeed the throne.
"Since then, it has been difficult for the emperor to ascend. There are only two emperors who are willing to work hard because they are not sick or disaster, and they are talented—"
When Gu Qinghuan said this, he said to Lu Bai very gratified: "Their talents are far inferior to yours. The only advantage is that they have power and power, and they can collect all the rare treasures in the world, and they have people in the sky. So it's easy to ascend."
Lu Bai was overjoyed, he loved hearing these words, even though he knew he was a big loser.
Gu Qinghuan said: "These two were able to soar in the end."
Of the two Ascension Emperors, the most recent one was Emperor Dade.
He is not the most talented among the previous emperors, but he is the most diligent and good at employing people. He is not disturbed by ordinary things and works hard enough, so he was able to ascend in the end.
His successor was Emperor Dawu.
Compared with his father, Emperor Dawu was more talented, but this emperor was really absurd. He was a good wife, liked to catch monsters, and did many outrageous things, which made the Southern Dynasty a mess.
