Li Dan knew perfectly well that Lai Junchen impeaches to near to him, clear(ly) knows that Princess Taiping and Wu Chengsi and the others have been determined to collaborate to counter-attack, does not dare to write down the word, incited still to be loyal to his officials concerted action, he was worried, once the matter exposed, this will become to his disadvantageous evidence. 李旦明知来俊臣对他弹劾在即,明知道太平公主和武承嗣等人已决心联手反击,还是不敢写下只言片语,授意仍旧忠于他的臣子们配合行动,他担心一旦事情败露,这会成为对他不利的证据。 Finally Li Chengqi and Li Longji and other imperial princes repeatedly under insists, explained specially can after the letter end indicates „reads burns”, Li Dan then gingerly complies to sign in the reply, and has covered the Crown Prince copy. 最后还是李成器和李隆基等皇子的一再坚持下,又特意说明可以在信末注明“阅后即焚”,李旦这才战战兢兢地答应在回信上签字,并且盖上了太子的印鉴。 Li Longji will surmise that Gao Lishi of confidential letter delivers to outside the palace, puts out a hand to loosen own flowing Yun Baifu jade pendant, fills in Gao Lishi hand, said: „Father-in-law take risks to subpoena, saves my fathers and sons in the danger, the obligation cardinal virtue, little King not thinks the report. This side jade pendant, is a little King regard, asking the father-in-law to accept!” 李隆基将怀揣密信的高力士送到殿外,伸手解下自己的流云百福玉佩,塞到高力士手中,说道:“公公冒险传讯,救我父子于危难之中,大恩大德,小王无以为报。这方玉佩,是小王的一点心意,请公公收下！” Li Longji was put under house arrest when the crown prince, simply does not have what monthly salary daily, this jade pendant was he is driven away the palace in the past, shut in the crown prince thing that wore, was one of his only several belongings, so Li Longji front piece worn-out ragged, even might as well Gao Lishi. 李隆基被软禁在东宫,日常根本没有什么月俸,这块玉佩还是他当年被驱离王府,关进东宫时身上佩戴的东西,是他仅有的几件财物之一,如此李隆基衣襟破旧褴褛,甚至还不如高力士。 Gao Lishi where is willing to receive his thing, declines hastily. 高力士哪里肯收他的东西,连忙推辞不已。 Li Longji sincere tunnel: „This thing, which is worth the father-in-law braving death to subpoena \; This thing, where can also buy a little King life? little King donates the father-in-law it, but regards a faith token it, came date my fathers and sons, if can be much heavier, will not forget today's father-in-law tall the graciousness of aid, if the father-in-law thought highly of little King this commitment, but also please accept it!” 李隆基诚恳地道:“这点东西,哪值得公公冒死传讯呢\;这点东西,又哪能买得小王一条性命？小王把它赠予公公,只是把它当成一件信物,来日我父子若能重得自由,绝不会忘了今日高公公的援手之恩,如果公公看得起小王这句承诺,还请把它收下！” The Gao Lishi hesitant moment, received that side jade pendant the bosom carefully, to this with his age quite, the makings calm young prince long bows with hands clasped, respectful sound returns salute saying: „So, servants Prince Xie enjoys!” 高力士犹豫片刻,将那方玉佩小心地收入怀中,向这个与他年岁相当,气质沉稳的小王爷长长一揖,恭声还礼道:“如此,奴婢谢王爷赏！” Li Longji nods, looks that Gao Lishi turns around to go to the layman, in the eye has one to wipe unusual meaning. He is young, but all sorts of tribulations, making him want mature many compared with the same age youth, he started to pay attention to seize all opportunities to win over available person. 李隆基点点头,看着高力士转身向外行去,眼中有一抹不同寻常的意味。他年纪虽小,但是种种磨难,使他远比同龄少年要成熟的多,他已经开始注意抓住一切机会拉拢可用的人了。 ...... …… Iraqi water riverside. The fish on clear water surface floats sinks suddenly. The Yang Fan wrist/skill raises anxiously anxiously, a silver bright fat fish then joyfully leapt the water surface. Yang Fan mentioned front the fish deftly, picked the fishhook to admit the fish basket, got up a fish insect, flung the silk thread, throws into the river water, tranquil tunnel: „Since everything is ready. That begins!” 伊水河边。粼粼水面上的鱼漂陡然一沉。杨帆手腕急急一提,一条银光闪闪的肥鱼便活蹦乱跳地跃出了水面。杨帆麻利地把鱼提到面前,摘了鱼钩放进鱼篓,又上了一条鱼虫,将丝线一甩,投进河水,平静地道:“既然万事俱备。那就动手吧！” Ren Weili in his, respectful sound track: „Yes! Sees by sovereign, should launch an attack by who in advance?” 任威立在他的身后,恭声道:“是！以宗主所见,该由何人先行发难？” The Yang Fan portable fishing pole, replied indifferently: „Wu Chengsi thoughts are deceitful, will not nip the hook easily, asked the Crown Prince person to begin first!” 杨帆手提钓竿,淡然答道:“武承嗣心思狡诈,轻易是不会咬钩的,还是叫太子的人先动手吧！” „Yes!” “是！” Yang Fan turns head saying: „Crown Prince that side person had been killed similarly by the emperor. The people who remains are very covert, which people is also very difficult to know for certain including us also has is loyal to Crown Prince, while this opportunity, happen to observes closely these to crop up, followed up a clue again, which people have a look usually to have and they associates closely, stared together. These people, today are the friends. Came the date not necessarily possibly is not our enemies!” 杨帆回头道:“太子那边的人已经被皇帝杀得差不多了。剩下来的人都十分隐蔽,连我们也很难确知还有哪些人是忠于太子的,趁着这次机会,正好盯住那些冒出头来的,再顺藤摸瓜,看看平素都有哪些人与他们交往密切,一起盯起来。这些人,今日是友。来日未必不可能是咱们的对头！” „Compliant!” “遵命！” Lets Wei long to bow with hands clasped. Turns around to depart! 任威长长一揖。转身离去！ Next day early toward, Wu Zetian just will dispatch troops to the matter that puts down a rebellion toward eastern Liaoning to the progress that Ministry of War Vice minister Yao Chong inquired about assigning. Then has to wait on toward small court eunuch goes forward Bing Bao: „Your majesty, supervises censor Ji Lvzhong to seek an interview!” 翌日早朝,武则天刚就派兵往辽东平叛的事情向兵部侍郎姚崇过问了一下调派的进度。便有侍朝小太监上前禀报:“陛下,监察御史纪履忠求见！” Supervises the government position of censor not to be high, harnesses without the qualifications having an audience with the emperor partner, but they are the censors, if must impeach any person, can actually on have an audience at any time harnesses, therefore fills the censor to seek an interview toward civil and military one hear, immediately understands this is must impeach the minister, in civil and military class unavoidably some tumults. 监察御史的官职不高,没有资格上朝伴驾,不过他们是御史,若是要弹劾什么人,却可以随时上朝见驾,因此满朝文武一听有御史求见,立即就明白这是要弹劾大臣,文武班中不免有些骚动。 Some Wu Zetian slightly surprise, told: „Proclaimed him to go see!” 武则天略有些诧异,吩咐道:“宣他进见！” Ji Lvzhong is over 60-year-old, is an old minister, although in the capital 67 officials many like beast of burden, few that this Imperial Court minister can recognize, but Ji Lvzhong this for a lifetime in censor stage, but the censor stage supervises hundred officers, therefore the official at this yamen long point, the Imperial Court powerful officials has not known. 纪履忠年愈六旬,已经是一位老臣了,虽说京中67品的官员多如牛马,这朝中大臣能认得的寥寥无几,但是纪履忠这一辈子都在御史台,而御史台是监察百官的,所以在这个衙门久一点的官员,朝中权贵就没有不认识的。 Ji Lvzhong the reputation is incorruptible, the government and people respect, in the past was impeached by him, did not have the matter that makes groundless accusations and looks up the non- real diagnosis, moreover this person always flatter does not attach the powerful official, wholeheartedly is only the Imperial Court management, really respects to this old minister Geng Zhong including Wu Zetian. 纪履忠官声清廉,甚得朝野敬重,以往被他弹劾的,还没有一桩捕风捉影、查无实证的事情,而且此人向来不阿附权贵,一心只为朝廷办事,连武则天对这个耿忠老臣也甚是敬重。 The moment time, the decree hands down, Ji Lvzhong the stride steps onto the palace, the audiences civil and military see Ji Lvzhong the hand to hold the court dress and official headgear, wears a Ge Bu long gown, performs somewhat is all in a daze. 片刻功夫,旨意传下,纪履忠大步走上殿来,众文武一见纪履忠手捧朝服、官帽,身穿一身葛布袍服,尽皆有些发愣。 Wu Zetian narrows pair of presbyopia, saw clearly Ji Lvzhong the appearance, in the heart somewhat had also felt strange: „What is Old Ji this must make? To resign on account of age and return to one's home place inadequately?” 武则天眯起一双老花眼,看清了纪履忠的模样,心中也有些奇怪:“老纪这是要做什么？难道想告老还乡不成？” Ji Lvzhong does not look to either side, steps onto main hall, bends the waist a ritual to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian cannot bear smile to ask: „Ji Qing, you court dress, on so the palace, why does the institute come?” 纪履忠目不旁视,走上大殿,向武则天弯腰一礼,武则天忍不住笑问道:“纪卿,你不着朝服,如此上殿,所为何来？” Ji Lvzhong said: „Old minister in the palace, must impeach Jingzhaoyin Lai Junchen today! The old minister knows that the Lai Junchen element your majesty trusts, the lawful right in Imperial Court is extremely heavy, if today could not win Lai Junchen, the old minister came the date to by his violent treachery. By removes one's hat to eliminate the robe, the white clothing impeachment, if could not win him, the old minister would rather resign to return home immediately, passing away forest and mountain streams, henceforth not participation royal government!” 纪履忠道:“老臣今日上殿,要弹劾京兆尹来俊臣！老臣知道来俊臣素得陛下信任,在朝廷中权柄极重,今日若告不倒来俊臣,老臣来日必遭他毒手。是以,免冠除袍,白衣弹劾,若是告不倒他,老臣情愿马上辞职还乡,老死林泉,从此再不参予朝政！” Wu Zetian one hear strokes however disgruntledly, reprimanded: „Ji Qing words extremely without merit! The censors supervise hundred officers, to hear by rumor to memorialize, the palm holds the national punishment constitution decrees and regulations, by austere Imperial Court, this is the right that the dynasty gave, regardless of said whether had the conclusive substantial evidence, who can add the crime in you, how could Lai Junchen so has been also domineering. You act boldly to speak frankly that freely, everything has me to take responsibility to you!” 武则天一听拂然不悦,斥道:“纪卿言辞太过无状！御史监察百官、风闻奏事,掌持国家刑宪典章,以肃正朝廷,这是皇朝给予的权利,无论所言是否有确凿实据,谁能加罪于你,来俊臣又何曾如此跋扈过。你尽管放胆直言吧,凡事都有朕给你作主！” If Ji Lvzhong sound mighty bell tunnel: „ Feudal official thanked your majesty! Your majesty, the feudal official impeaches Lai Junchen, is international Jun, Huang Jingrong and other cool government officials slaughters the exile, to compel counter- side wild secret instigation! Feudal official he he takes as again to present the law savage, toward from pressing to observe, harms the oppressive will of the people, exposes the bone to bleed, numerous, the sound of injustice overflowing, full in within the four seas. 纪履忠声若洪钟地道:“臣谢陛下！陛下,臣弹劾来俊臣,乃万国俊、黄景容等酷吏屠戮流人、逼反边荒的幕后主使！臣再劾他以凶残为奉法,往从按察,害虐人心,曝骨流血,为数甚多,冤滥之声,盈于海内。 Feudal official three he Lai Junchen, were censured during the state, the pressure colleague, strong Suo Qiqi, possesses, noisy impudent, seething popular discontent! Feudal official four he Lai Junchen, in state judges, appointed on, receives the wealthy gentry to bribe, sentences by the grain of officer storehouse in the plaintiff unexpectedly, decides on the nature of the guilt, when cuts. The feudal officials he, each article, or has the personal testimony, or has the matter witness, is far from falsely accusing, but also invited your majesty intelligent apprehension! ” 臣三劾来俊臣,被贬同州期间,威压同僚,强索其妻,占为己有,聒不知耻,民怨沸腾！臣四劾来俊臣,在同州判官任上,收受富绅贿赂,竟以官库之粮判于原告,论罪当斩。臣之所劾,桩桩件件,或有人证、或有物证,绝非诬告,还请陛下明察！” Ji Lvzhong words are loud and clear, full house immediately in an uproar. 纪履忠一番话掷地有声,满堂顿时为之哗然。 Some people dare to impeach Lai Junchen unexpectedly, in this stamp has filled toward the civil and military center of excitation without doubt, is only...... Considers Lai Junchen? 竟然有人敢弹劾来俊臣,这无疑戳中了满朝文武的兴奋点,只是……告来俊臣？ Nobody favors Ji Lvzhong, somewhat has the favorable impression official to him, when visits him, the whole face grief, as if saw this Old Ji pitiful future. 没有人看好纪履忠,有些对他颇有好感的官员,看着他时,已经满脸悲悯,似乎已经看到了这老纪悲惨的未来。 Wu Zetian knew for some time that Ji Lvzhong is honest, will not impeach the official easily, once impeaches the official, holds the substantial evidence surely. 武则天素知纪履忠老诚持重,轻易不会弹劾官员,一旦弹劾官员,必定握有实据。 Censor stage small working group at southern border energetically unjust charge. For makes Imperial Court attach importance to their functions. This point Wu Zetian was already well aware \; But the Lai Junchen hobby person woman, she also listens to Goro and Rokuro joke in the harem, so wants to come, the indictment that perhaps Ji Lvzhong impeaches every kind was true. 御史台一班人在南疆大兴冤狱。为得是重新让朝廷重视他们的作用。这一点武则天早就心知肚明\;而来俊臣嗜好人妇,她在后宫也听五郎和六郎笑谈过,如此想来,恐怕纪履忠所弹劾的罪状是样样属实了。 Lackey who Wu Zetian under must use were not many, does not want to take the watch-dog operation that this is only obedient really again, suddenly unavoidably somewhat hesitates, does not know whether should receive this case. If not meet. Stance that Ji Lvzhong resigns on account of age and returns to one's home place continually suspended, so obvious shielding, how could it not be had the clever person to advocate the virtue of being receptive to admonition, making hundred officers smile itself unfairly. If following, if Ji Lvzhong puts out the ironclad evidence at the scene, that Lai Junchen does govern is incurable? 武则天手下如今得用的爪牙已经不多了,着实不想再拿这只听话的看门狗开刀,一时间不免有些犹豫,不知是否该接下此案。若是不接。纪履忠连告老还乡的架势都摆出来了,如此明显的袒护,岂不有乖人主纳谏之德,让百官笑自己不公么。如果接下来,纪履忠若是当场拿出真凭实据,那来俊臣治是不治？ Some Lai Junchen one hear of people impeach. Must according to the custom, remove one's hat except hat, stands the article class front row, the lowering the head awaiting impeachment order, in the moral nature clenches jaws, how calculates secretly to return the favor. 来俊臣一听有人弹劾。只得按照规矩,免冠除帽,站到文班前列,垂首听参,心底里咬牙切齿,暗暗盘算着如何还以颜色。 Wu Chengsi sees the empress facial expression to hesitate, in heart dark cold, immediately somewhat could not calm down. He planned to let over others first. Waits and sees a wind condition to decide own onset and retreat again. Now searches to observe the paternal aunt's manner eagerly to adopting an heir, may unable to attend to these. Immediately winked to phoenix pavilion shed person Zhang Jiafu. 武承嗣见女皇神情犹豫,心中暗凛,登时就有些沉不住气了。他原打算先让别人出头。观望一番风色再决定自己的进退。如今急于探察姑母对立嗣的态度,可顾不得那些了。马上向凤阁舍人张嘉福递了个眼色。 Zhang Jiafu sees the lord to incite, then has class Zoudao: „Your majesty, among the government and people early some discussions, said Lai Junchen by the torture severe laws wild talk person crime, so that fills toward the civil and military fear does not dare to say. Now the discipline censor already impeaches Lai Junchen, but also looks at your majesty in accord with heaven's decree and people's will, investigates rigorously this case, guilty innocent, after having looked up, can also world person justice!” 张嘉福一见主子授意,便出班奏道:“陛下,朝野间早有议论,说来俊臣以酷刑峻法妄言人罪,以致满朝文武畏不敢言。今纪御史既弹劾来俊臣,还望陛下应天顺人,严查此案,有罪还是无罪,查过之后,才能还天下人一个公道！” „Feudal official seconds the motion!” “臣附议！” Zhang Jiafu the voice just fell, immediately has day of government authorities Zhao Gan, to test merit gentry official Cui Shi and other officials to leave the class to echo, Wu Zetian is helpless, must tell: „Lai Junchen closing door awaiting impeachment order! Impeaches a Lai Junchen case about Ji Lvzhong, wears makes the autumn Official's Office gate carry on the survey trial. Ji Qingke proves the matter witness revolutions to enter autumn the Official's Office gate some people, the resigning on account of age and returning to one's home place incident, rests mentions again!” 张嘉福话音刚落,马上就有天官府赵乾、考功员外郎崔湜等多名官员出班附和,武则天无奈,只得吩咐道:“来俊臣闭门听参！关于纪履忠弹劾来俊臣一案,着令秋官衙门进行查勘审判。纪卿可将一干人证物证转交秋官衙门,告老还乡一事,休再提起！” ...... …… „Originally Ji Lvzhong is the Crown Prince person, this old man hides but actually deeply, if not so, we could not have discovered!” “原来纪履忠是太子的人,这老头儿藏得倒深,若非如此,咱们还发现不了呢！” On road that returns to the city, Yang Fan is teasing two children, while to Ren Weidao: „This has burnt the fire, various aspects can whole-heartedly. While this opportunity, which people we must ravel have to belong, on the one hand, complete on record, is henceforth strict to monitor!” 回城的路上,杨帆一边逗弄着两个孩子,一边对任威道:“这把火已经烧起来了,各方面都会全力以赴。趁此机会,我们要弄明白都有哪些人属于哪一方面,全部记录在案,从此严加监控！” Ren Wei complies with one, has transmitted the instruction of Yang Fan rapidly...... 任威答应一声,把杨帆的吩咐迅速传达了出去…… Since Ministry of Justice has taken over to investigate Lai Junchen, the Crown Prince Li Dan person, Wei King Wu Chengsi's person and Princess Taiping person, and even Zhang Changzong, an easy party, to mix, denounces in word and in writing, the impeachment is unceasing. 自刑部接手调查来俊臣以来,太子李旦的人,魏王武承嗣的人、太平公主的人,乃至张昌宗、张易之一党,纷纷搀和进来,口诛笔伐,弹劾不断。 The related Lai Junchen crime was too numerous to mention, now wants to put in order him, the charge naturally has words at fingertips and writes with facility. 有关来俊臣的罪行本就罄竹难书,如今想要整他,罪名自然信手拈来。 Lai Junchen in accordance with the practice, is only close-door awaiting impeachment order, but increases along with his crime unceasingly, Wu Zetian could not preserve him, must tell that caught the Ministry of Justice prison him, this, impeached the Lai Junchen person is every day increases sharply. 来俊臣依例,本来只是闭门听参,但是随着他的罪行不断增加,武则天也保不住他了,只得吩咐把他抓进刑部大牢,这一来,弹劾来俊臣的人更是每日激增。 Only crossed on the 2nd, Wei Suizhong instructed by Wu Sansi, comes out to testify, said after Lai Junchen once liquor talked that bragged by stone. 只过了两日,卫遂忠又在武三思的授意下,出面作证,说来俊臣曾经酒后狂言,以石勒自诩。 After stone Le is, Emperor Zhao, at first is only a slave, afterward had been the general from the slave, afterward became the emperor from the general. Lai Junchen from the beginning is a hooligan, now has been the high official, bragged stone Le, wasn't that wants to plot a rebellion to be the emperor? 石勒是后赵皇帝,最初只是一个奴隶,后来从奴隶做了将军,再后来又从将军成为了皇帝。来俊臣一开始是个泼皮,如今做了大官,自诩石勒,那不就是想要谋反做皇帝么？ Which pitiful Lai Junchen knows that who stone Le is, he does not know that this person, do not say stone Le the entire life. Then, the Lai Junchen charge raises quotas at each level, finally rushed was dying. 可怜来俊臣哪知道石勒是谁,他根本不知道这个人,更不要说石勒的生平了。只是如此一来,来俊臣的罪名是层层加码,终于奔着死去了。 However, Wu Zetian has not executed the idea of Lai Junchen as before, this benefits from the person who Lai Junchen offends are too many, because he queers many, therefore Wu Zetian believes that many impeachment stem from the personal grudge. But person who because just Lai Junchen offends are many, she believes that Lai Junchen can only depend upon itself. 但是,武则天依旧没有处死来俊臣的想法,这得益于来俊臣得罪的人太多,就因为他得罪人多,所以武则天相信许多弹劾都是出于私仇。而正因为来俊臣得罪的人多,她相信来俊臣只能依靠自己。 As for plotting a rebellion, Wu Zetian can only dismiss with a smile, who plots a rebellion to have the possibility, the person like Lai Junchen plots a rebellion, among world who will follow him? 至于谋反,武则天只能付之一笑,谁谋反都有可能,像来俊臣这样的人谋反,天下间有谁会追随他？ The charge of plotting a rebellion always eliminates the most effective method of political opponent taking advantage of the Wu Zetian hand shovel, almost withstands the test, but now this charge how Lai Junchen, moreover accused the person or Lai Junchen once trusted friend, the bonus was so, Wu Zetian did not believe that Xiaoqiang who this Lai Junchen also really has become not being able to kill. 谋反的罪名一向是借武则天的手铲除政敌的最有力手段,几乎屡试不爽,可如今就连这个罪名都奈何不了来俊臣,而且告发人还是来俊臣曾经的心腹,饶是如此,武则天都不信,这个来俊臣还真成了一只打不死的小强了。 Facing response that the emperor so lives simply, Wu Chengsi was afraid: „These many charges, the emperors do not want to kill Lai Junchen, is it possible that the emperor wants to use his hand, eradicates this king, to eradicate all hinders the match who Liang King ascends the throne to be inadequate? Pok, should the this lofty one king not know what to do now?” 面对皇帝如此淡泊的反应,武承嗣更加害怕了:“这么多罪名,皇帝都不想杀来俊臣,莫非皇帝真想借他的手,铲除本王、铲除所有阻碍梁王登基的对手不成？嘉福,孤王如今该如何是好？” In Yang Fan study room, Yang Fan was also asking to his trusted friend on this matter: „Ren Wei, ‚view day unit’ does that side have what idea to this matter?” 杨帆的书房里,杨帆也在就此事对他的心腹发问:“任威,‘观天部’那边对此事有何主意么？” Ren Weidao: „‚View day unit’ the person has carefully studied for many years by the person who the empress removes, they discovered that only then four people are the people who the empress most wants to kill. Person who the first type, is empress has the accumulated grievances, but this person, before the empress ascends the throne, killed off \; Person who the second type, is not obedient, Lai Junchen obviously is not \; Person who the third type, has wēixié to the throne......” 任威道:“‘观天部’的人仔细研究了多年来被女皇除掉的人,他们发现只有四种人是女皇帝最想杀的人。第一种,是和女皇有积怨的人,而这种人,在女皇登基以前,就已经杀光了\;第二种,是不听话的人,来俊臣显然不是\;第三种,是对皇位有wēixié的人……” The Yang Fan connection said: „Lai Junchen clearly impossible to have any wēixié to the throne, Wu Chengsi incites Wei Suizhong to install such a charge to Lai Junchen, outsmarts oneself radically.” 杨帆接口道:“来俊臣显然不可能对皇位有什么wēixié,武承嗣授意卫遂忠给来俊臣安上这么一个罪名,根本就是弄巧成拙。” Ren Weidao: „Yes! The fourth type, thoroughly lost the use value , to continue to remain, person who instead will affect the empress authority!” 任威道:“是！第四种,就是彻底失去了利用价值,继续留着,反而会影响女皇权威的人！” Yang Fan slightly hesitates, said: „Obviously, only then this means can remove Lai Junchen. The status was usually covert, did the regulations divide to be two, Wu and Princess Taiping officials have found out?” 杨帆略一沉吟,道:“显然,只有这个办法才能除掉来俊臣了。那些平素身份隐蔽,实则分属于二张、武氏和太平公主的官员们都已经摸清了？” „Yes!” “是！” Yang Fan said with a smile: „Good! Then now, making Lai Junchen the target of universal detestation!”( To be continued......) 杨帆微笑道:“那好！那么现在就着手,让来俊臣成为过街老鼠吧！”(未完待续……)
