Thump thump —— 咚咚—— The morning bell resounds through Chang'an, the palatial imperial city imperial city gate opens greatly, wears the high official petty official of assorted court dress, passes through the white stone imperial road neatly, enters center the entire dynasty Grand Ultimate palace. 晨钟响彻长安,巍峨皇城宫门大开,身着各色朝服的大官小吏,整整齐齐走过白石御道,进入整个王朝正中的太极金殿。 The gourd warrior stands in the goose feathers flying snow, making the palace in magnificently decorated building seemingly dignified and solemn and respectful. 金瓜武士站在鹅毛飞雪之中,让雕梁画栋的金殿看起来庄严而肃穆。 The common time, stands the civil and military royal courtier in palace, must hold the breath the congealing air/Qi to wait for Emperor to come out from the side palace, many each other look connection discussed that later wants report/give report the thing. 寻常时候,站在金殿中的文武朝臣,应当屏息凝气等待天子从侧殿中出来,最多彼此眼神交汇商量待会要禀报的事物。 But this morning, the atmosphere in Taiji Hall is entirely different, even is somewhat noisy. 可今天早上,太极殿中的气氛却截然不同,甚至有些嘈杂。 „Heartless! Do your Li Family whole families are not a thing, in the eye have the law of the land......” “丧尽天良！你李家满门都不是个东西,眼里还有没有王法……” The shouting abuse sound resounds through the palace, got angry cannot uncover, has covered talking in whispers of hundred officers. 破口大骂声响彻金殿,怒不可揭,盖过了百官的窃窃私语。 Directly scolds naturally is Imperial Censor Qi Xinghan, Qi Xinghan is the frail scholar, at this time actually to rub had the sleeve, wants to rush with the hand in tablet held by officials during imperial audience board beating stands gallant marquis Li Baoyi in military officer team. 直接开骂的自然是言官齐星涵,齐星涵本是文弱书生,此时却撸起了袖子,想要冲上去用手中笏板殴打站在武官队伍中的忠勇侯李宝义。 Nearby Imperial Censor is drawing the consolation, naturally, the words of consolation are cuss out Li Family similarly are not the thing. 旁边的言官都是拉着劝慰,当然,劝慰的话语同样是臭骂李家不是东西。 Dares when Imperial Censor, does not have one is the coward, moreover in the eye cannot rub the sand. Is implicated Emperor on Imperial Throne to dare to scold, let alone is a young marquis. 敢当言官,就没一个是孬种,而且眼睛里揉不得沙子。连坐在龙椅上的皇帝都敢骂,更何况是一个小侯爷。 But the palace front, prime minister Xiao Chuyang closes eyes with rapt attention, the meaning of also not having stopped. 而金殿前方,丞相萧楚杨闭目凝神,也没有制止的意思。 The Xiao Chuyang straight eyebrows slanting upwards and outwards aquiline nose, the forehead has the dignity, is Huainan Xiao Clan pillar, is the pillar of Great Yue Dynasty hall, the year is only 45-year-old, is appointed prime minister for 20 years, always except living Xiao Ting harmed the image, other impeccable. 萧楚杨剑眉鹰钩鼻,眉宇颇具威严,是淮南萧氏的主心骨,也是大玥朝堂的主心骨,年仅四十有五,拜相二十载,平生除开生了个萧庭有损形象,其他的都无可挑剔。 Xiao Chuyang side, highest ranked military officer Liu Pingyang, governs in the millet history Lu Cheng'an and the others, watches critically does not react. 萧楚杨的旁边,太尉刘平阳、治粟内史陆承安等人,也都是冷眼旁观不做回应。 Li Baoyi complexion becomes flushed, is lowering the head to be scolded by one group of child Imperial Censor, is in the wrong does not dare to answer back, the big winter actually full sweat, often scratches with the sleeve. 李宝义脸色涨红,垂着头被一帮子言官呵骂,理亏也不敢还嘴,大冬天的却满头汗水,不时用袖子擦一擦。 Treads —— 踏踏—— The sound of footsteps resounds from the palace, palace with deep veneration one static, all bows. 脚步声从金殿后方响起,金殿肃然一静,皆是躬身。 palm mark court eunuch Eunuch Jia, holds the whisking drake voice to resound: 掌印太监贾公公,持着拂尘公鸭嗓音响起: „Rises toward!” “升朝！” The sound is not incisive, even is quite vigorous, waits for the minor officials who summoned to hear outside the imperial city gate. 声音并不尖锐,甚至极为浑厚,远在宫门外等待召见的小官吏都能听见。 In the gate of side palace, wears bright Yellow Dragon pao Emperor Song Ji, passes through above the palace stair quickly, wields the imperial robe skirt-width lightly, sat above Imperial Throne, the brow tight pressed look brings several points of disgruntledness. 侧殿的门内,身着明黄龙袍的天子宋暨,快步走过金殿上方的台阶,轻挥龙袍下摆,坐在了龙椅之上,眉头紧蹙神色带着几分不悦。 The Song Ji year only 40, are the King Yan Song Yu compatriot elder brother , compared with the Great Yue all previous generations monarchy is quite diligent, after several years of former empress dies from illness, has not made somebody one's heir again, even the imperial city gate, is busy with the government affairs day and night, the achievements wrist/skill presses lives in one group of child Vassal King powerful families, the prestige is very high. 宋暨年仅四十,是燕王宋玉的同胞兄长,和大玥历代君主比起来算是比较勤奋的,几年前皇后病故后没有再立后,甚至连宫门都不出,日夜忙于政务,政绩手腕都压的住一帮子藩王门阀,威望很高。 „See Your Majesty!” “参见圣上！” Hundred officers grasp tablet held by officials during imperial audience board simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform to bow to bow the head, in the palace the needle falls may hear, on the smooth floor tile can appear the fuzzy inverted image. 百官手持笏板齐齐躬身俯首,金殿中针落可闻,光滑地砖上能显出模糊的倒影。 Clip clop —— 哒哒—— The sweat drop on the floor tile, Li Baoyi is entirely still, does not dare to leave the atmosphere. 汗水滴在地砖上,李宝义纹丝不动,连大气都不敢出。 Continued the moment peacefully, Song Ji lifted the hand: 安静持续了片刻,宋暨才抬了抬手: „White Horse Village what's the matter?” “白马庄是怎么回事？” The yesterday evening's White Horse Village murder case has fed in Chang'an City, midnight passed to the ear of Emperor through Arresting and Scouting Department. 昨天晚上的白马庄的血案已经传回了长安城,半夜时分就通过缉侦司传到了天子的耳中。 Before dawn, participates in the dozens tyrannical gentries and government authorities juniors in gambling house, by Imperial Guards pressing. Brings together also more than 30 incomplete skeletons and five corpses, as well as install the tiger bear beast of prey in iron cage. 凌晨时分,参加赌局的几十个豪绅和官家子弟,都被御林军给压了回来。一起带回来的还有三十多具不完整的骸骨和五具尸体,以及装在铁笼中的虎熊猛兽。 The person who the Yang Yang Chang'an 1 million population, military person private battle dies every day is not infrequent, but this dirty matter first happens. If makes marketplace common people know in Exceptional Longevity Street aristocracy, will let poverty-stricken common people and tiger preying unexpectedly seeks pleasure, stands many government officials in palace will perhaps be drown to death by the saliva. 央央长安百万人口,每天武夫私斗死的人不在少数,但这种龌龊事儿还是头一回发生。若是让市井百姓知晓住在魁寿街的王侯,竟然让穷苦百姓和老虎搏杀来取乐,站在金殿上的诸多官吏恐怕会被唾沫淹死。 Emperor opens the mouth, Xiao Chuyang then goes forward one step, the bowing opens the mouth: 皇帝开了口,萧楚杨便上前一步,躬身开口: „Reported Your Majesty, yesterday my son heard White Horse Village to be somewhat strange, then brought Arresting and Scouting Department Wolf Guards to go to examine, finally discovered that under White Horse Village constructed the room secretly, among opened Gambling Street, let person and the beast wrestles......” “禀圣上,昨日犬子听闻白马庄有些古怪,便带着缉侦司一名狼卫前往查看,结果发现白马庄下暗建地室,其内开设赌坊,让人与兽相搏……” The matter that said basically knew, Xiao Chuyang repeats. 说的事情基本上都知道了,萧楚杨只是重复一遍。 After Li Baoyi and other prime minister spoke, walks plop to kneel down, sorrowful sound said: 李宝义等宰相说完话后,才走出来扑通跪下,哀声道: „Your Majesty, crime feudal official godchild with an improper method, disappoints the Your Majesty deep affection, the heinous crime, but also asked Your Majesty to punish!” “圣上,罪臣教子无方,辜负圣上厚爱,罪该万死,还请圣上责罚！” „Punishment?” “责罚？” The Song Ji brow is tight, pats the Imperial Throne arm rest: „About 40 human lives, We executed your nine generations enough!” 宋暨眉头紧蹙,轻拍龙椅扶手:“近四十条人命,朕诛你九族都够了！” The words saying is a little heavy, is directly pallid the complexion that Li Baoyi frightens, touches the earth tremor sound said by: 话说的有点重,直接把李宝义吓的脸色煞白,以头触地颤声道: „Your Majesty appeases anger...... the matter of White Horse Village, the crime feudal official is difficult to escape its fault, but...... but these people are the compulsive gamblers, has signed the life and death shape......” “圣上息怒……白马庄之事,罪臣难逃其咎,但……但那些人都是赌鬼,已经签了生死状……” „You talk nonsense, the person were caught by you, is not you writes what them to sign anything......” “你放屁,人都被你抓了,还不是你写什么他们签什么……” The Qi Xinghan violent temper, scolded immediately. 齐星涵的暴脾气,当即就开骂了。 Later the civil and military hundred officers start to argue, Li Family is difficult to escape its fault is not false, but also calculates a little discretion, the killed people are the background unclean marketplace clothes eating insect, the life and death shape is also the thing that the royal government tacitly consents. Really according to 40 human lives sentenced the ancestor protects main active Li Family extinguishing, obviously was not quite appropriate. 之后文武百官就开始争论起来,李家难逃其咎不假,但还算有点分寸,弄死的人都是底子不干净的市井蛀虫,生死状也是朝廷默许的东西。真按照四十条人命来判把祖上护主有功的李家给灭了,显然也不太合适。 Heaviness that the Song Ji words saying, is indicated that has not practiced favoritism to shelter the meaning of Li Family, later then did not open the mouth. 宋暨话说的重,是表明没有徇私庇护李家的意思,之后便不怎么开口了。 Is also not infrequent with the official who Li Family is on very good terms, the Li Family eldest son is still guarding the border pass, assigning a penalty excessive is not good. 和李家交情不错的官员也不在少数,李家长子还在镇守边关,判罚过重也不好。 After an expression brilliant argument, finally guaranteed Li Family one, only punished a Li Baoyi three years of salary, takes back the White Horse Village paddies, its child makes the huge mistake young but ignorant, takes the corvee three years is not possible to enter official lifelong, the adviser retainer of offering advice beheads to expose to the public with the secure popular sentiment, this matter understood even. 一番言辞灼灼的争论后,最终还是保了李家一手,只罚了李宝义三年俸禄,收回白马庄田地,其子犯下大错但年少无知,服徭役三年终身不可入仕,出主意的谋士门客斩首示众以安民心,此事就算这么了解。 Li Baoyi can preserve son's life has thanked heaven and earth, there dares to say half a word, obediently and honestly received punishing. 李宝义能把儿子的命保住已经谢天谢地,那里敢多说半句,老老实实的就受了罚。 But this time ‚amazing the world with a single brilliant feat’ Xiao Ting, makes many government officials look askance actually, highly praises, in secret actually some doubts in the deliberation hall. 而此次‘一鸣惊人’的萧庭,倒是让不少官吏侧目,在朝堂上大加赞赏,私下里却都有些疑惑。 Xiao Ting is well-known in the Chang'an City reputation, the blunder does not violate slightly wrong unceasingly, can not have basically, moreover instigated that hold/container Ai runs up to the matter that nearby Empress Dowager cries, the Exceptional Longevity Street wealthy and prominent family wealthy and powerful family basically knows. 萧庭在长安城的名声人尽皆知,大错不犯小错不断,才能基本没有,而且怂包爱跑到太后跟前哭鼻子的事儿,魁寿街的高门大户基本上都知道。 Having neither learning nor skill playboy, runs suddenly White Horse Village sound Zhang Zhengyi, is too a little towering. 一个不学无术的纨绔子弟,忽然跑去白马庄声张正义,有点太突兀。 In the morning Xiao Ting and Imperial Guards and Wolf Guards come back together, even the Xiao Family people think that Xiao Ting held the big basket, feared Xiao Chuyang, no matter, sends people to go to the palace to look for the Empress Dowager plea directly. Finally the understanding cause and effect, everyone does not believe that this matter is Xiao Ting does. 早上萧庭和御林军、狼卫一块回来,连萧家人都以为萧庭捅了大篓子,怕萧楚杨不管,直接派人去宫里找太后求情。最后了解前因后果,所有人都不太相信这事儿是萧庭干的。 After all murders too decisively, not like the Xiao Ting style, what a blade cuts retainer Xiao Family of tiger to be many, but retainer deathsworn, must listen to the head of household to order to begin, according to the Xiao Ting temper, if knows the White Horse Village matter, should run Empress Dowager there to take undeserved credit is right. 毕竟杀伐太果断,不像萧庭的行事风格,一刀斩虎的门客萧家多的是,可门客死士,也得听家主命令才会动手,按照萧庭的性子,若是知晓白马庄的事儿,应该跑去太后那里邀功才对。 However things have gotten to this point, the royal courtier not possible to question Xiao Ting, can only the lurking suspicion be Xiao Chuyang incites Xiao Ting to do such a big matter, washed ‚having neither learning nor skill’ white reputation. 不过事已至此,朝臣也不可能去质疑萧庭,只能暗中怀疑是萧楚杨授意萧庭干这么一件大事儿,洗白‘不学无术’的名声。 But Xiao Family naturally knows the silly young master to have several jin (0.5 kg) several two, is impossible to make such magnificent feat, yesterday does not have the retainer to follow Xiao Ting to go out, definitely has the person of high skill to help in the back. 而萧家自然知晓自家傻少爷有几斤几两,不可能做出此等壮举,昨天也没有门客跟着萧庭出去,肯定是有高人在背后帮忙。 Who however this person of high skill is, Xiao Family has not really wanted to come out for a short time...... 不过这个高人是谁,萧家一时半会还真没想出来……
