Seeing Liu Chengyou looking at him with inquiring eyes, Li Shaoyou immediately said: "Liu Xin is not only the emperor's uncle, but also a vassal town. Even if he has committed a crime, the officials will deal with it urgently, and he must be upright..."
"I sent an edict to take it, isn't it fair enough?" Liu Chengyou interrupted and asked without waiting for him to finish.
"That's not what I meant." Li Shaoyou calmly bowed his head and said, "I just feel that we can't take it rashly right now. We need to have evidence and evidence, otherwise if it spreads, it may not be good for the officialdom." reputation, and can easily cause others to feel uneasy and suspicious of the court."
"Furthermore, the Queen Mother and the ministers also need to explain something. In addition, the emperor's uncle is the only guilty person in Xuzhou Jiedu. His subordinates, bureaucrats and assistants, took advantage of the situation to commit crimes, oppress the good, and are invincible. There are still thousands of tooth soldiers under the Zhongwu Army, and among them there are many generals and soldiers who help the emperor's uncle to do evil. In order to avoid unrest, they need to be dealt with carefully..."
As Li Shaoyou narrated, Liu Chengyou's expression became very calm: "There is a profound meaning in your words! Someone else, which someone else?"
"However, it's becoming more appropriate for you to think about things. I'm afraid you have already considered the matter in Xuzhou!" Liu Chengyou stared at this cousin.

Li Shaoyou bowed and responded: "The official family has a destiny, and I dare not not think about it more and think about it carefully."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou completely calmed down, raised his hand and made a retreat gesture to Zhao Yanjin, thought for a while, clenched his fists, and ordered to Li Shaoyou: "I understand what you mean, next, I will investigate what you are investigating." Liu Xin’s crimes must be carried out in detail for me one by one and collected with fixed evidence. Don’t they have to be upright? I will give him an upright one!”
"Yes!" Li Shaoyou quickly replied.
"Zhang Dejun!" Li Shaoyou stepped back, Liu Chengyou only pondered for a while and called out coldly.
"exist."
"Please tell me, all the chamberlains, female officers, and bodyguards on duty in front of the imperial family must keep their mouths shut!" Liu Chengyou's tone was particularly stern.
There was no need to say the last half of the sentence. Zhang Dejun trembled and hurriedly responded.
"Biography of Yushi Zhao Li!"
"yes!"
Alone in a room, Liu Chengyou casually picked up a memorial from Tokyo, which was about the transfer of money and grain to the east of the river. Unfortunately, Liu Chengyou was not interested. With a slightly complicated mood, he walked around the room a few times. He walked to the window lattice, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked calmly at the green spring scenery outside the window, his eyes gradually becoming cold and firm.
When he went south this time, in addition to dealing with Liu Zhiyuan's funeral, Liu Chengyou also had the idea of dealing with Liu Xin. He had already heard about his uncle's adultery in Xuzhou, but he just There was some hesitation in dealing with the situation. However, after arriving in Xuzhou and conducting this investigation, he realized how deep the disaster was caused by his uncle.
In fact, by this time, Liu Chengyou was determined enough to punish Liu Xin severely. Chickens need to be killed from time to time, and the emperor's chicken is probably the heaviest.
...
Zhao Li withdrew from the emperor's trip and returned home, with quick steps and a little excitement in his expression. Among the censors accompanying him this time, he had the highest official position and was the most trusted by the emperor. As Liu Chengyou became more and more aware of the supervisory system Take it seriously, he, the backbone of the Yushitai, can be regarded as a proud man.
In fact, during this trip south to Xuzhou, Zhao Li was secretly planning to do a big thing. In addition to the support of the emperor, the authority of Yushitai also required them to make some big splash to clear their names. As a coincidence, Zhao Li chose The target is also Liu Xin.
Yushitai was also very careful about resuming the supervision of the provinces outside Beijing. Starting from the Kinki prefectures, and then looking at all the prefectures, it was only Xuzhou that had many things. In the past few days, it was not just Takeshi who was here When investigating Liu Xin, the censor of Xuzhou also secretly observed the public sentiment and collected evidence.
As for Zhao Li, despite his previous courage in admonishing and outspokenly speaking out for Liu Chengyou, he was removed from Luoyang. But this time, with the intention of dealing with Liu Xin, he actually felt extremely uneasy in his heart. The more complete the information he learned, The more he knew about Xuzhou's situation, the more he became afraid. He believed that as long as he dared to impeach Liu Xin, the emperor's uncle would definitely lead his men to capture him, and he would punish him with brutal methods.
However, fear turned into fear, and his mind became more determined. After all, the opportunity to become famous all over the world and to shock the court was a rare opportunity for an official like him. Of course, he also saw the relationship between the emperor and Liu Xin's uncle and nephew. During the period, the relationship was not friendly.
However, today, the last hesitation in Zhao Li's heart was extinguished. When he met with the emperor, Liu Chengyou gave him a reassurance. To Zhao Li's surprise, the emperor also wanted to deal with Liu Xin.
"Envoy of the Academy." A young supervisory censor came as ordered and saw Zhao Li who was full of enthusiasm.
"Have all the collected things been sorted out?" Zhao Li looked at the young subordinate and asked with dignity.
Upon hearing this, the censor immediately took out a few books and respectfully presented them to Zhao Li: "I don't dare to neglect my orders. After my subordinates sorted them out, there are ten in total!"
"Well!" Zhao Li took it, took a look at it, and praised: "I am a Jinshi, and this is a really good stick!"
"The envoy is so complimentary!" the young censor said with his hands raised. He was quite humble, no wonder he was taken by Zhao Li.
Seeing Zhao Li who was immersed in the documents, a little worry appeared on the young censor's face. He cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao, the ten items listed here are all serious crimes, and they all point to Xuzhou Jiedu. However, after all, he is a relative of the emperor. , His Majesty’s uncle, so, so..."
Raising his head and looking at the young man, Zhao Li said calmly: "What, are you scared?"
The censor did not hide his fear and replied: "In the past few days, we have been visiting people and investigating things, which has attracted the surveillance of state soldiers. Now my subordinates are afraid to go out."
Faced with this situation, Zhao Li did not feel embarrassed. He just picked up the album in his hand and asked: "You are honest, and it is normal to have fear in your heart. However, you have forgotten Bian Zhongcheng's warning to speak out and impartially. Your Majesty’s teachings also require us not to avoid the powerful!”
The censor was silent and just buried his head very low.
Seeing this, Zhao Li asked with a smile on his lips: "I entered the official position very early, but my whole life was wasted. Four months ago, I was only the first censor in Xijing District. Now, I have received the grace of the Holy Spirit and am the censor."
Shi Yiyuan, do you know why?"
The young censor was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hands and said: "I have heard something. It was the emperor who first visited the emperor to impeach Shi Hongzhao, who stayed in Xijing, for his illegal conduct, which was appreciated by his majesty. Among the three academies, there is no one who is not loyal to the emperor.
I admire you for your courage!"
There was some confidence on Zhao Li's face, as if he was recalling his self-recommendation when he was in a humble position, and he said leisurely: "At that time, I almost lost my life."
"This time, I still have this intention to repay you! If not for anything else, just for the officials and people who suffered in Xuzhou, and to restore peace to Xuzhou!" Zhao Li looked upright and solemn.
"Mr. Zhao is righteous!"
"Haha!" Seeing the young junior being deceived into being so solemn, Zhao Li smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "But the result may not be as serious as imagined."
"How do you say this?"
Zhao Li shook his head but did not explain.
After quitting his subordinates, Zhao Li was immersed in reviewing the details of the report. For a long time, he straightened up, took a few deep breaths, seemed to have adjusted his emotions, picked up his pen with a serious expression, and wrote hard.
What he wrote became hundreds of words of impeachment.
