Chapter 1870 Palace gate whipping
The spies from the Jinyiwei quickly spread the news to Cao Cao and others.
In fact, there is no need to inform Li Gui. Cao Cao and the others have already received the news and have already rushed into the palace one step earlier.
Zhuge Liang and others are all young talents in the court, and their future is limitless and they will definitely be the pillars of the court in the future. If something happens at this critical moment and the court has no successor, the loss will be great.
Cao Cao and other bigwigs knew Liu Yu and knew very well that once Liu Yu was really angry, his methods would be very ruthless. By then, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others would not have any good ones.
The big guys went out collectively and when they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Zhuge Liang and others kneeling.
Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang and others kneeling on the ground, and really wanted to arrest him and scold him. He was so angry that he would kneel down and give him advice. He was jumping into the fire pit. Now, it made everyone turbulent. Don’t you know that this kind of threat is the most annoying to His Majesty now? Will His Majesty threaten you?
Once this precedent is set, countless people in the court will definitely follow suit in the future. Does the emperor still want to have a stable sleep?
"Are these bastards clamped their brains by the door?" Cao Cao almost cursed.
Even so, Cao Cao and other bigwigs had to plead for Zhuge Liang and others.
The palace gate was wide open, and Dian Wei came to greet Cao Cao and others. Judging from Dian Wei's face, Cao Cao and others knew that Liu Yu had guessed that they would come here long ago.
In the imperial study room, Liu Yu was waiting for Cao Cao and others to arrive, but Li Gui first arrived at the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" Li Gui's face was a little gloomy.
Liu Yu was very surprised why Li Gui came in at this time and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Gui took out a piece of information and bowed and said, "Before the Jinyiwei's investigation, Sima Yi's wife Zhang and two sons had been found. But..."
Liu Yu heard some smell and continued to ask, "But what?"
Li Gui took a breath and said, "I was arranged by Your Majesty to lurk in Sima Yi's home. I followed a helm leader to go. This person is named Tang Sheng and has a deep hatred with Sima Yi. This time Sima Yi was able to be arrested, Tang Sheng made great efforts. The two sons of Zhang and Sima Yi were not missing, but fell into Tang Sheng's hands. I just received a report from Tang Sheng. Zhang and Sima Yi's two sons have been cleaned up."
Liu Yu was a little surprised, but finally sighed softly, without much reaction.
Li Gui didn't dare to speak, he felt that Tang Sheng had done a bit too much.
Many years ago, Li Gui felt that Tang Sheng and Sima Yi had a grudge, and monitoring Sima Yi was the best candidate. But Tang Sheng was too revenge, so he killed Sima Yi's first wife and son, and directly broke up Sima Yi.
Originally, Liu Yu was a little worried that Sima Shi and Sima Zhao would take revenge when they grew up, but now they died before they grew up. Liu Yu's heart was a little relaxed.
"I understand." After a long time, Liu Yu said, "You go down."
Li Gui retreated silently, and then walked out of the palace with thoughts.
As soon as Cao Cao and others entered Liu Yu's imperial study, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Yeah, the wind blows you all. Sit, sit!"
"Your Majesty, stop kidding." Cao Cao spoke first.
Chen Gong also agreed: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming, Shi Yuan and others were also confused for a while. Don't get angry, as it will be bad if you hurt the dragon's body."
Ju Su advised: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming is also a person with a temperament. He felt unbearable when he saw Sima Yi in a cage. The same was true for Shi Yuan and the others."
General Huang Zhong even said directly: "Your Majesty, please spare them once."
On the contrary, Tian Feng didn't say anything.
Liu Yu looked at the old guys, raised his eyebrows, and his face became serious, and said, "This example will be open! There will be troublesome in the future!"
Of course, the old guys knew that Liu Yu's words were true.
But as a minister, sometimes he has to use any means to persuade the emperor. You can't kill Zhuge Liang and others because of this kneeling advice. That's a thank you.
Tian Feng said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others are unable to tell me, so I must be severely punished!"
"What?" The old guys widened their eyes. They heard it right. Tian Feng, you are not a fool, you are here to plead with mercy. You should just ask for severe punishment!
Liu Yu looked at Tian Feng, nodded and said, "Well, Yuan Hao still understands the truth."
"Your Majesty, the court has its own laws. Officials kneeling in front of the palace in public, watching the public, are really humiliating and losing the face of the court! I think that according to the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang and others will be beaten twenty times to serve as a warning!" Tian Feng said with confidence, and Dayou was irreconcilable with Zhuge Liang and others.
But the meaning of the words is that as long as your mind is not sick, you can naturally hear the meaning of turning big things into small things.
Cao Cao and others understood why Tian Feng had asked for severe punishment just now, and this was a way to save people.
Liu Yu was laughed at by the old guy Tian Feng and said, "Yuan Hao! I didn't expect you to be like this. It's okay! For your sake, I will spare them this time."
"Your Majesty is kind!" Cao Cao and others were surprised to thank Liu Yu.
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm kind. It's that you have a great face. So many of you big bosses in the court have come forward. If I don't give you some face, how can you take good care of the ministers below? But if I have something to say, then this situation will happen again in the future. I won't let you go. At that time, don't blame me for being cruel."
The murderous intent in the words made Cao Cao and others deeply feel it.
"I will definitely remember it!"
What else, just take the order directly.
Today's farce was finally resolved peacefully.
Liu Yu called Dian Wei and said to him: "It's evil. I follow Lord Tian Toyota's advice and execute the whipping of Zhuge Liang and others. You can do it as you please, don't be beaten to become disabled!"
Cao Cao and others were sweating coldly, don’t be disability? That’s really cruel.
Especially Tian Feng, he looked happy just now, but now he looked sad. Liu Yu said that after listening to his suggestion, the blame was decided.
Dian Wei looked at Tian Feng with a wicked smile. It was obvious that he would definitely make Zhuge Liang and others think that Tian Feng must let Liu Yu beat them later.
Tian Feng smiled bitterly, but he felt that Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others were all extremely talented, so he probably thought that it was Liu Yu's plan to alienate him.
However, reality is cruel.
Dian Wei walked to the palace gate and announced the punishment for Zhuge Liang and others in public, and solemnly stated that it was Tian Feng's suggestion.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others thought at first that Tian Feng was protecting them and minimizing the damage. Isn’t it just twenty whips? He can bear it, but will Liu Yu agree to their request?
Unexpectedly, Dian Wei smiled and said to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others: "Originally, Your Majesty just wanted you to kneel down for a while. But Lord Tian said that you would damage the face of the court and would not be punished severely, so you must give you fifty whips. Your Majesty is kind and has reduced you thirty."
Except for Zhuge Liang, everyone else was angry and cursed in their hearts: Tian Yuanhao, do you want to kill me so that your children can replace me and wait for me? It’s a waste of my life.
Looking at the changing faces of everyone, Dian Wei felt relieved.
For Tian Feng, Dian Wei, a fool, had long wanted to take revenge. Every time Dian Wei and Liu Yu left the palace, they would swear to Liu Yu when they came back, and even Dian Wei was no exception. Dian Wei was a rough man with a low level of education. Every time Tian Feng was speechless. However, Tian Feng was a little old, and Dian Wei was worried that if he was rough, he would beat him to death, so he kept holding it. However, Dian Wei's tolerance made Tian Feng continue to gain a lot of effort. Once, he directly impeached Dian Wei in the court.
This time, Dian Wei finally found a chance. It is not a hero who will not avenge his grudges.
Zhuge Liang knew that this was Dian Wei's conspiracy, but at this time he was not just defending Tian Feng.
Dian Wei ignored Zhuge Liang and others, turned around and said to the guards: "Young people! Execute! Pay attention, don't beat him to death and get disabled!"
What?! Zhuge Liang and others were in a terror.
"Yes!" The guards rushed towards Zhuge Liang and other trembling lambs like tigers and wolfs.
Soon, one after another, a wailing sounded outside the palace gate. Zhuge Liang and others were all pampered scholars. Except for Pang Tong, all the fine skin and tender flesh immediately appeared bloodstains. Except for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, everyone else could not hold on to wail.
Seeing this situation, there was no one around watching. They were frightened and all avoided them. But because of this, the incident of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others being beaten by Liu Yu at the palace gate instantly spread. Some boring people even processed the reason for this beating, and derived many versions. One of them was that Zhuge Liang fell in love with a woman with a noble status, but due to his identity and family, he knelt at the palace gate and hoped that Your Majesty would fulfill her. His brothers and friends also supported her. Your Majesty was so angry that he sent someone to beat her directly. As for why Your Majesty was so angry that he was angry, there was another version. Anyway, he would do whatever he said.
Zhuge Liang later learned about these rumors and could only laugh and cry. This was the study where Huang Yueying seemed to have heard it and let Zhuge Liang sleep for a few days.
After twenty whipping, only Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong remained conscious, and the others fainted.
The imperial guards did not really beat them to death or get disabled, but Zhuge Liang and others could not get out of bed after a few days of cultivation. Dian Wei was very satisfied with the performance of the guards, and at the same time reminded the guards to pay attention to the positions of hitting them when they were whipped just now, and shared his understanding of the sensitive positions of human pain. The guards made a lot of money and were sure to remember these knowledge in their hearts, so they could use them when they hit people in the future.
The guards are also very happy. Usually they are on guard and the adults are all arrogant. This time they can actually whip the adults hard, which has a taste of a counterattack. After they go back, they can also brag about it.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who were still conscious, were also drunk. They were all like this, and Dian Wei was still in the mood to use them as teaching examples, which was really helpless.
The palace gate beat Zhuge Liang and others, and the officials in Luoyang quickly received the news and learned about the tragic situation of Zhuge Liang and others. They put their hearts in favor. If they knelt down and advised them, they would probably have all the heads. Zhuge Liang and others have so many bigwigs to plead for mercy. Therefore, many officials warned themselves and their children not to learn from Zhuge Liang and others' actions in the future. That would kill people!
Luoyang made Lord Ni Heng feel a little disappointed, and he also wanted to bring someone to beat Zhuge Liang and others. After missing this opportunity, I don’t know when it will happen. So many years have passed, Ni Heng still has the heart of anger. He always stares at some powerful people, hoping that these powerful people will commit some crimes. He can punish him fairly and strictly, and it will be vain for his name in the sky.
No one will expose himself to Ni Heng's sight when he is full.
Zhuge Liang and others made a bad start. Later officials regarded them as one of the manifestations of loyal ministers serving the lords. So many years later, some Qingliu, who wanted to ask for fame, would kneel down to advise, which made the emperor at that time depressed. These were all later stories.
There is only one thing that must be admitted. When Liu Yu was alive, no minister dared to kneel down and give advice again.
After the beating, Dian Wei also sent these people home considerately.
After finishing work, Dian Wei went back to report to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Dian Wei's efficiency, so he praised him and left.
