Why does Wang Shao say this?
That's because he had already seen through Ningyang's officialdom and was trying to use this matter to bring down some lawless people.
In the past, as a small county magistrate, even if he had the intention, he was powerless. Now, he felt that the opportunity had come.
This Li Erzhu is a man with military merit and title.
Such a low-level officer of the Qin army, who had just come down from the front line, if he could sue the king, the effect could be imagined.
After listening to what he said, Li Erzhu returned worriedly: "Your Majesty, the king of a country, deals with state affairs every day. In the face of state affairs, what do these things of mine count?"
Knowing his worries, Wang Shao encouraged him and said: "Don't worry, as long as you can see the king and report your grievances, the king will be furious! Because you are a soldier of our Qin army!"
"As a local official, why don't you file a complaint yourself?" Li Erzhu asked in return.
Wang Shao smiled bitterly and said: "I am the county magistrate. I have many superiors and cannot go beyond the level. You don't know the official system. Even if I write a letter, how can I send it to the king? That is simply impossible, and I can't leave the jurisdiction privately. , otherwise, someone who is interested will be punished for leaving his post without permission."
"This..." Li Erzhu pondered for a moment, then gave up and nodded: "Okay! As you said, I will enter the capital!"
"That's great! In this way, not only can you and your wife be cleared, but also the lawless person behind you can be brought out!" Wang Shao expressed joy.
"But after I left, my wife..."
"Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of her. But let me tell you one thing first. Ningyang will most likely exert pressure to convict your wife of hurting someone. But these are just temporary grievances, and the truth will eventually come true. It’s clear.” Wang Shao said.
"What are you talking about!? You want to confuse right and wrong!?" Li Erzhu was furious: "Then I might as well kill Gou Ju's whole family!"
"Oh, don't be impulsive. You killed Gou Ju's family. Can you live? Can you clear your wife's name? Think about this. You are just trying to get revenge for a while, but your wife will always be misunderstood and accused. Ah." Wang Shao comforted.
When Li Erzhu heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Seeing this, Wang Shao was afraid that he would regret it, so he held his hand in front of him, bent his waist to the end, gave him a big gift and said: "For the sake of your own family and the whole of Ningyang, please go to the capital and file a complaint."
He, a county magistrate, has done this, which shows how helpless he is.
"Sir, what are you doing? How can I accept this gift? Just go, just go..."
A few days later, Qinzhou.
Qin Palace, not far outside the palace gate.
Li Erzhu, dressed in armor, was kneeling there.
In such a situation, it was natural for the Palace Guards to come forward. However, seeing that he was wearing Central Army armor, he said in a calm tone: "Brother, the palace is such an important place, leave quickly, don't make it difficult for us."
"Brother, brother, listen to me." Li Erzhu quickly took out his military card and said excitedly: "I have a grievance, and only the king can uphold justice. Please let me see the king. I will be so kind and virtuous that I will never give up." forget!"
"But I can't help. Your Majesty can see anyone, and I can't see him either." said the Forbidden Army.
"Then...then please don't chase me away, brother. I will kneel farther away and will never cause trouble or hinder you." Li Erzhu said again.
"This..." After hearing what he said, the two Imperial Guards couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, many ministers began to pass by in twos and threes because they were going to the morning court.
People naturally noticed this situation, but after a quick glance, they didn't pay much attention.
The first day passed like this.
The next day, Li Erzhu was still kneeling there.
At this time, many ministers began to discuss in low voices and pointed in this direction.
Liu Yuzhi also looked at Shangguan Wenruo.
The latter frowned slightly and said: "Strange, isn't this a central sergeant? Why are you kneeling here..."
On the third day, I saw him still kneeling there.
Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi couldn't help it. He did not step forward to ask, but brought the matter up during the morning court.
After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan frowned subconsciously, and then pondered: "Kneel for three days? Bring that soldier in."
"No." An attendant responded and immediately left the hall.
Although the Qin Palace is not very luxurious, it still takes a while to walk from the palace gate to the court meeting hall.
By the time the attendants brought Li Erzhu over, the government affairs were almost over.
It was the first time for the latter to enter the Qin State Hall. He hurried forward, knelt down in the middle, and shouted in a trembling voice:
"Subordinates, the seventh infantry formation, Li Erzhu, kowtow to the king! My king for ten thousand years——"
"The seventh infantry formation?" Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Shouldn't he be returning home to visit relatives?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Get up and talk."
"I don't dare." Li Erzhu knelt and said, "Because of my grievances, I risked my life to beg for permission to see you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Do you have a grievance?" Xiao Yuan became more and more confused: "Where is your hometown? Didn't you complain to the local officials?"
At this time, the ministers in the palace could not bear it anymore. Someone immediately stood up, pointed at Li Erzhu and shouted: "How dare you! Little foot soldiers! How dare you disrupt the political hall! Do you know where this place is! This is where the grievances are lodged. !? This is simply unreasonable!”
"There are no rules at all! How to be a soldier of our Qin Army!"
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yuan interrupted them impatiently, "Listen to what he has to say."
Obviously, he treats the soldiers below him differently, even if they are small soldiers, or in other words, he values martial arts over literature in his heart.
"Please your Majesty and your lords, please calm down and allow your subordinates to report."
Li Erzhu's voice trembled as he told the story in detail.
When he finished speaking, his forehead was touching the floor, and his body was trembling slightly, for fear that Xiao Yuan would ignore him.
This matter is actually not big, but it is bad! It further illustrates that Ning Yang has a hand that covers the sky.
For a moment, there was no sound in the hall.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, and what followed was thunderous wrath!
"This is unreasonable! Some people dare to insult the wives of our soldiers!"
"Under the rule of our Qin State, is there any royal law left?"
"If that's true! Isn't Ningyang lawless! Wantlessly confusing right and wrong!"
He slapped the table and stood up, the jade beads on his forehead trembling slightly because of his anger.
When all the ministers saw this, they lowered their bodies one after another, and some people quickly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuan's anger continued and he said sternly: "No one can insult the wife of my soldier! Not even the King of Heaven!"
After shouting fiercely, he pointed directly at Liu Changqing:
"Liu Changqing! I order you to go to Ningyang immediately! Investigate this matter thoroughly! Look what kind of big hand is behind this!"
"Minister, I respectfully obey the king's order." Liu Changqing hurriedly stepped out of the queue.
