Chapter Thirteen I know what you did in the past!
Fortunately, God has eyes. Tian Xia's parents and ancestors are old and died one after another in a few years. This made Xiao Zuo and officials at all levels heave a sigh of relief. In addition to the normal Ding Youqi one after another, Xiao Zuo also
He strongly commended Tian Xia for his benevolence and filial piety, and asked him to stay in his hometown to visit the graves in various ways. After finally living in peace for several years, Xiao Zuo almost forgot that this person existed despite the fact that the few veterans did not mention it, but it happened that this person's filial piety period
It's already full. Even his experience of killing no one in Jiangnan has become the biggest capital for his recovery!
"Tian Qing has not been in the court for a long time and has maintained filial piety for so many years. It is best for him to rest for a while. Besides, I still have important responsibilities for him to shoulder. I don't need to let him take action to find corrupt officials. As for the imperial envoy
Let’s discuss the selection later.”
I bit the bullet and objected politely, but when I returned to the harem, my buttocks were not yet hot, Tian Xia's book had already been published, with thousands of words, and the literary talent was gorgeous and outstanding, but in short, it meant: I have been hiding for many years, and my hands are already itchy.
, I have even gathered enough strength to be loyal to the country, so I will leave the matter of corrupt officials to the minister. If you agree, I will live up to the emperor's expectations and return to the emperor a Jiangnan with clear seas and rivers. If you don't agree,
The people may say that you are not a good emperor because you intend to be conciliatory. If you don't love the people, the people will not love you in the future. Moreover, I will tell the people what you mean.
In order to rebuke the master who dared to jump into the frying pan, Xiao Zuo had no choice but to nod his head. However, the uneasy premonition in his heart was extremely accurate, and Tian Xia left the capital again.
In less than two months, the case of that official was not only cleared up, but also implicated a large number of even bigger corrupt officials, and many unjust cases of bullying of men and women and unclear human life cases were uncovered.
It can be said that 90% of the hundreds of officials in the entire Jiangnan officialdom were not spared. This is because Tian Xia has been at home for many years. His heart and methods have softened, and he understands that the world is not black and white, so he is open-minded and takes the initiative to surrender.
, those with good attitudes, able to report others and not greedy too much were spared.
Xiao Zuo didn't understand. Why would an old minister think of such a minister? Why did he not even send many officers and soldiers to follow Tian Xia in order to hold him back? He was not allowed to use the local military power. Why was he like that?
What a big deal. How can one person bring up the entire Jiangnan officialdom? Together with those officials in Jiangnan, they only know how to make money, but have no means of self-protection?
He wanted to find a reason to call Tian Xia back, so as to prevent more corrupt officials from being investigated, which would cause the people to be dissatisfied with the court and doubt his ability to govern the country. But at this time, as more and more secrets were revealed, the people already hated corrupt officials.
He was gnashing his teeth. The most terrible thing was that there was a sudden gust of wind out of nowhere. It was said that he was in the wrong position and God could not see it, so corrupt officials were rampant. If God does not change the master, it will be a sign of the country's destruction.
Xiao Zuo was furious. What he didn't understand was why it was okay for him to be on the throne for so long, and the people still praised him as a wise king. Why were there always discordant voices in the past two years? First there was the legend of the son of ten kings, and now there are questions
His throne has really taken off after the gourd was pressed. It would be strange if he didn't suspect that someone was tampering with it secretly.
But the rumors about what made him angry are getting more and more popular among the people, but no matter how much they check, they can't find the source. They want to kill him as a warning, but they are afraid of giving the political opponents behind the scenes an excuse to criticize again. It's like a thorn in the back, you can clearly see it.
, but could not catch him, and felt extremely uncomfortable. Finally, his imperial master at that time, now Master Sikong, suggested that he might as well express his position directly, turn passivity into initiative, and let the people trust the emperor and the court instead of individual direct ministers.
As a last resort, Xiao Zuo announced that he would punish corrupt officials and clean up the rule of law. However, it was impossible for Xiao Zuo to appease both sides. Because the people praised each other, but the officials were all in danger. After all, as an official
Over the years, at least some clues have been left out. Many people have also received hints of unknown extent and from unknown people: The emperor knows what they have done in these years!
To protect the emperor, it is difficult to serve as an official but he has to be liquidated. The loyalty of the ministers, which was not firm in the first place, became even more shaken. Some people thought to themselves, it is better to change the emperor. By then, the world will be amnesty, and the next dynasty will be
When employing people, they will never be held accountable for what happened before, so they will be safe. It's great, just serve as an official honestly from now on.
These are the reasons why Xiao Shiyi has been extremely busy in the past few months.
He is the one who holds the record of merits and demerits of all officials. It is really easy to find someone to use as a breakthrough point. The top red girl in Taohuatan, the official's subordinates, the outer chamber, and the family members of the outer chamber, all the way
As the arrangement continued, God did not know it, and the ghost did not realize it. An old minister mentioned Tian Xia in the court, not to mention his secret operation among officials. Even Tian Xia's ambition was inspired by him again. In the end, one person was trapped
After working and studying in my hometown for many years, I felt a little discouraged.
As for the spread of various news about corrupt officials, inciting public outrage, and rumors that the emperor's throne was not upright, thus leading to rumors that could not be suppressed by those monsters and monsters, it was naturally planned and implemented by Shui Shiqiao. The Caobang was in his hands, and he could use his fingers like an arm.
Returning to the south of the Yangtze River, I feel like a fish in water. I feel much freer than when I was trapped in the capital, and I have regained my former decisiveness in killing.
It can be said that Xiao Shiyi and Shui Shiqiao worked together this time, and the cooperation was seamless and smooth. This gave both of them a strange idea: without Liuli, they would have become good brothers. Now, they only
Can become a love rival who can resolve irreconcilable grudges.
"Now my uncle is very worried and has a lot of gray hair. What to do next is up to you." It's early autumn in August, but according to the weather in previous years, Tokyo still has an autumn weather. It gets a little cold in the morning and evening, but it's still cold at noon.
It's very hot.
At this time, Liuli and Xiao Shiyi were sitting under the shade of flowers in the courtyard, drinking tea and playing chess. Liuli's chess skills were very poor, but Xiao Shiyi said that her temper was too sharp, and talking with each other could make her temper more stable and gentle in the future.
Yuanyuan, so he pulled her by force.
But Liuli didn't think anything else. She spent these days in the house listening to all kinds of gossip, eating and sleeping, and not doing much exercise, but her figure became a lot more rounded.
"Lend Yuan Danqing to me." Liuli had already thought of a plan, but all the important people in the Cao Gang followed Shui Shiqiao back to the south of the Yangtze River. The ones left in Tokyo were all hidden piles, which were not easy to use unless they were urgent or difficult.
I had to borrow someone.
"Okay." Xiao Shiyi agreed happily, "That boy looks kind, but he is actually a hypocrite. If you let him do something bad, he will go crazy with joy. But, what do you want to do?"
Liuli smiled slightly, leaned over, got closer to Xiao Shiyi, and explained the plan.
Xiao Shiyi smiled and tapped Liuli's forehead, "Little rascal, luckily I didn't provoke you, otherwise you would have used these harmful tricks on me. After much thought, I really can't deal with it."
"Both each other." If she is a little bad guy, then he is a big bad guy. Seeing how Xiao Zuo was forced to do so, she felt a little sympathetic even though it was her target of revenge. He killed people with a blunt knife, and let him do it himself.
Put your neck together, among the bad guys in the world, Xiao Shiyi is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.
She didn't ask in detail, but she was afraid that Xiao Zuo's imperial master...even if he wasn't attracted or influenced by Xiao Shiyi, he must have been influenced by other people, so he came up with the trick of drinking poison to quench his thirst, which made Xiao Zuo
Step by step, step into the hole he dug.
However, she didn't realize that under Xiao Shiyi's constant pestering, she has now become accustomed to having him around her. What's even more frightening is that he approaches her, gets close to her, and has some physical contact, as long as it's not a hint.
The meaning was too obvious, so she accepted it readily and was not too wary.
If she were a little white rabbit, she was gradually approaching the wolf's mouth. If she were a ferocious beast, she was stepping into the hunter's trap unprepared. Xiao Shiyi had extraordinary patience with him. Moreover,
She was completely unaware of her own changes during Xiao Shiyi's silent offensive.
"If you want to make it perish, you will make it go crazy. This is your strategy against Xiao Zuo." Liuli randomly dropped a piece on the chessboard and said, "What about me? If I make it fall hard, I will win it first.
High. Falling like that is really the best feeling."
"That's a good summary, but you feel good about it, right?" Xiao Shiyi has adapted to Liuli's speaking style, and comes up with a few new words or sentences from time to time. He looked down at the chessboard again, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Oh, Xiao Liuli,
You tried your best and failed to win a single game against me, but now you just throw the pieces around and make me completely defeated."
Liuli looked at the chessboard, wasn't it? She couldn't help but smile smugly, "My skills are so good that I can break the Linglong game. Your Highness, Linshan King, can you quickly write me a word of submission?"
Looking at Liuli's bright smile, the snow-white neck exposed on her collar, the jade hand holding Hei Yunzi, and the undulating and moving curves under the clothes, Xiao Shi felt his mouth was dry, so he had to drink a big drink.
Bowl of herbal tea: When this incident is over, can he be able to hold on until the clouds clear and the moon shines? Otherwise, if he keeps waiting like this, he will really be unable to bear it.
Liuli didn't know what Xiao Shiyi was thinking, so she called Yuan Danqing over after lunch. When she told her her plan, Yuan Danqing's eyes lit up like a small light bulb. Xiao Shiyi did not make a mistake.
Bad things made him very happy, especially when he had to repair the sanctimonious Wen Ningzhi.
"Be careful, don't be discovered." Liuli instructed, and handed Yuan Danqing a detailed topographic map of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion and the patrol schedule of the guards. She had lived there for a long time and was very familiar with it. Lu Chi
What's the matter? I walked and walked and recognized the way.
"Princess, don't worry. I have all capable people under my command. I will also take action myself. I will never break someone's hand or be caught." Yuan Fan said scratching his hair. He was usually a very stable person, and now he smiled like this.
Like a happy college boy, "Actually, this is not fun at the beginning, but it is fun at the end. If you give me two days, I will at least create public opinion. Furthermore, I have to arrange all the channels for publicity."
