"The people are the foundation of the country. The money is produced, the safety and danger are in charge, and the security is urgent... The sage said that the people are the most important, and the country is the second, and the king is the least. Therefore, the people are the people of the Qiu and become the emperor, the emperor is the prince, and the prince is the official. The princes are the stakes, and the princes are the officials. When the princes are in danger, they will be changed. When the sacrifice is completed, the wealth is strong and clean, and the sacrifices are at the right time. However, the drought and dry water overflow, the country will be changed... The king is a boat; the people are water; the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat... Zhao Han and others harm the people, which will harm our great Song Dynasty. The ministers firmly accept the gifts of the king and receive the grace of the country. How can they ignore it? How can they sit and watch?..."

The 16th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingguo in the Song Dynasty.

Last night, there was another heavy snow, and the heavy snow fell, covering the entire Song Palace in a vast white area.

In the early morning, the heavy snow finally stopped, and several golden rays of sunlight pierced the thick clouds and fell outside the Xuande Gate of the Song Palace. The palace covered in the morning light and white coat looked even more majestic.

However, what is not very harmonious with such a beautiful scenery is a lonely figure outside Xuande Gate.

At this time, Bai Xue had completely wrapped the figure around, standing alone outside the Xuande Gate of the Song Palace, like a snowman.

"Let me go, let me go..." At this time, a woman in her forty years old desperately tried to break through the obstacles of several people around her, and cried as she struggled: "It's been a whole night, Jian'er...he...he...let me go over and I'll accompany him."

"Mom, mom..." The young daughter-in-law of the middle-aged woman cried and dissuaded: "You can't go at this time. Not only will it be useless if you go, it will harm the officials."

"What my sister-in-law said is great." A young green-robed official next to him was also moist and dissuaded: "My brother once told me that even if he stood here today, he would not be allowed to go there..."

"If you two dare not listen to the advice and dare to go forward, you will harm the Lord. Do you want to harm the Lord?" The young official then drank two powerful men like black towers.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Sanjian led people to torture in public and killed Zhao Han, Zhou Fanggeng and five others. The matter was so shocking that it shocked the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, which trembled three times. This was the matter that the subjects and people of Kaifeng Prefecture were talking about throughout the day.

However, although Li Sanjian did this to follow the Song Dynasty, there were some violations of the Song Dynasty, that is, the place where the punishment was imposed, the time was wrong, and the action had exceeded the scope of the Kaifeng Prefecture Office's jail, which was to violate the system and exceed the authority. Therefore, Li Sanjian had to wait outside the palace for the crime and wait for the court to deal with it.

The most important thing is that Li Sanjian's move has challenged the entire Song Dynasty's legal system and the privileged class of the royal family. Li Sanjian is well aware of this.

Before receiving Zhao Ji's will, even if Li Sanjian stood outside the palace gate, he would not leave.

"Kneeling from north to south", the Song Dynasty waited for the crime by bowing hands, rather than sticking up her butt and kneeling on the ground waiting for the crime to be ordered.

"Shankui, Xu Biao, you two escort the old lady. The two ladies are back, and Liu is waiting here." Liu Anjie then said to Shankui and Xu Biao.

Li Sanjian's family members can only cause trouble here, but they will not help. Li Sanjian has already told Liu Anjie not to let Fu Erniang, Cai Rongxue and others approach.

So Shankui and Xu Biao had no choice but to send Fu Erniang and others back home and wait for the news.

Liu

After An Jie saw Fu Erniang and others leaving, he walked towards the "Snowman".

I don’t know if it was Zhao Ji forgot it or did it on purpose, and put Li Sanjianliang in front of the palace gate for a whole night, which made Liu Anjie very worried.

If there is no protective measures, people will not last long in the snow and will be frozen to death. Fortunately, the palace is tall and the Xuande Gate Gate City Gate Tower is also tall, and a "concave" shape is formed before the palace gate, which can provide Li Sanjian with a place to hide the wind and snow. But even so, being in the heavy snow flying all over the sky, it is extremely dangerous at night.

Liu Anjie was not sure whether Li Sanjian was alive or frozen to death, so he walked over and reached out to touch Li Sanjian.

If Li Sanjian had a breath, Liu Anjie would save his life even if he was punished by the court.

"Yuan Cheng, are you here? When is it?" Before Liu Anjie touched Li Sanjian, the "Snowman" suddenly spoke, which immediately startled Liu Anjie and almost threw away a pot of hot wine in his sleeve.

"Chen time has passed, Han Ren, are you okay?" Liu Anjie felt relieved when he saw Li Sanjian talking, so he asked happily.

"I'm fine..." Li Sanjian opened his eyes slightly and replied at the tall palace.

Li Sanjian, who had been standing all night, wanted to sleep or sit down and rest for a while, but first, Li Sanjian was waiting for crimes at this time and had to wait outside the palace for decree. Going home to sleep or sit down and rest will get a charge of disrespect. Second, after a night of wind and snow, Li Sanjian's legs were almost frozen and he had almost no sense of consciousness. Even if Li Sanjian could sit down and rest, he could not move.

Li Sanjian really suspected that his legs were abandoned.

"Help me rub my knees!" Li Sanjian then said to Liu Anjie.

Before Li Sanjian was waiting for punishment at the palace gate, he also made a lot of preparations. For example, he had already wrapped in a thick winter coat. Under the winter coat, Li Sanjian also hid several pieces of beef and a pot of strong liquor. In addition, Li Sanjian was young and strong, and at the same time, Li Sanjian chose a place with an excellent location that could cover most of the wind and snow, so Li Sanjian was able to stick to it until now.

Upon hearing this, Liu Anjie secretly stuffed the hot wine in his hand into Li Sanjian's arms. At the same time, he squatted down and lifted Li Sanjian's trouser legs to his knees. He grabbed a handful of snowflakes and covered Li Sanjian's swollen knees, and rubbed them gently.

"Han Ren, why not go back here. Let's not care what his son will do, let it go." Liu Anjie said with tears in his eyes while rubbing.

"For those who are in charge of punishment, we should know the law and abide by the law. If we violate the law and order, we should suffer this crime and suffer this disaster." Li Sanjian shook his head and said when he heard this.

Liu Anjie sighed secretly when he heard this, and rubbed Li Sanjian's knees more and more vigorously.

So far, Liu Anjie still does not understand that Li Sanjian insists on doing this despite his dissuasion.

If Li Sanjian held back his voice this time and would not care about these matters involving royal relatives and senior officials in the future, then Li Sanjian's future is really unlimited.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, Lu Changheng, is old and will retire soon, or be transferred. Then the best candidate to replace Lu Changheng is Li Sanjian. In this way, Li Sanjian will step on the threshold of governing, and the youngest ruling minister will appear in the Song Dynasty.

What an eye-catching thing this is, but Liu Anjie is full of things

It is uncomprehensible that it is really a pity why Li Sanjian insisted on doing this self-destructing his future.

Is it really smart and confused for a lifetime? Liu Anjie said in his heart.

"Well, it's much more comfortable. Yuan Cheng, go back and comfort my home. Thank you." Liu Anjie rubbed it for a while, and Li Sanjian felt much more comfortable. He moved his legs a little, and felt that his legs were still there. So he took a big sip of the hot drink brought by Liu Anjie and said to him.

Liu Anjie did not answer. After putting down Li Sanjian's trouser legs, he dusted the snow on Li Sanjian's body, put his hands in his sleeves, stood beside Li Sanjian, looking at the tall palace without saying a word.

"Yuan Cheng... are you..." Li Sanjian asked differently when he saw this.

"As a clerk of Judge Li, Liu is in charge of being punished. How can his clerk sit down and watch? He should be punished together." Liu Anjie glanced at Li Sanjian and replied.

Liu Anjie is different from the families of Fu Erniang, Cai Rongxue and other Li Sanjian. Liu Anjie is also a court official and is also related to this matter, so it is reasonable to wait for the crime together.

"Hey, Yuan Cheng, you don't have to do this..." Li Sanjian said movedly when he heard this.

Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie said they were close friends, but in fact they had known each other for less than a year. In the third year of Yuanfu, they met Mamingxi Dukou Inn and participated in the tribute ceremony in the third year of Song and Yuanfu. They were people on the same list in the same year. After that, Liu Anjie became a subordinate of Li Sanjian. Therefore, in detail, the relationship between the two was not deep.

At this time, Liu Anjie was willing to wait for the palace together with Li Sanjian, which moved Li Sanjian very much.

The so-called sharing of hardships probably refers to Liu Anjie, Li Sanjian said in his heart.

"The people are the foundation of the country. Wealth is what we use, what safety is, and what we need is the most urgent thing to do..." Li Sanjian saw that Liu Anjie refused to leave and insisted on taking the crime together. So when he was bored, he whispered to Liu Anjie to listen to the "Apology Memorial" he wrote.

"Yuan Cheng, what do you think?" Li Sanjian asked after he finished speaking.

"You can still speak out in the first half, and you are righteous, but the second half...hehe..." Liu Anjie couldn't help laughing as he said.

Although the two were talking and laughing in a low voice, there was no expression on their faces. They both stood up and looked at the tall palace.

At this time, the surface of Xuande Gate looked extremely calm, without any movement, but Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie both understood that this was just a superficial phenomenon. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were looking at them after the palace wall and listening to their every move.

"Shh...shush, someone is coming." At this time, Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie heard a mess of footsteps, and Liu Anjie said.

But what moved and surprised the two was that the footsteps did not come from the front, and there was still no movement in Xuande Gate.

The chaotic footsteps came from the rear, so Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie turned their heads slightly and looked back, both of whom were shocked.

"Old Mansion Master, you... why are you?" Li Sanjian asked in surprise.

There were hundreds of people coming from behind, all of whom were from Kaifeng Prefecture Office, including Sun Deqin, the chief of the left office of the Kaifeng Prefecture Office, Wu Miaoshan, the chief of the government office, Yao Yu, the left office of the government office, Zeng Gongming, and other officials from Kaifeng Prefecture Office.
