Chapter 513: Traitor, Filial Son, Part 4

"Chongdao," Su Shi spoke with the corner of his eyes glanced at the Ross Cat Oliga who was serving in this hall, "There are no outsiders here, why do you have to pretend in front of me? And Lu Jia asked, "I'm not a good person, this time I finally got the evil ones retribution!"

Wu Haogu is now a Su family disciple, and he is the same generation as Su Erlang, who is in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard.

Moreover, Su Shi did not have any opinion of Wu Haogu like his son... When he was in Yuntai Mountain, he got along well with Wu Haogu and got a lot of gifts from Wu Haogu. In addition, he was not an official from the imperial examination and was not that noble.

Besides, his family was so cruel that they were so cruel as the New Party. Both of them went to Lingnan and now they could not really recover Zeng Bu. An Tao and others unanimously opposed the use of the Er Su brothers, believing that like Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, they were all party members who went to extremes.

In fact, this statement is untenable. Su Che's attitude towards opposing the new policy may be relatively firm, but when Su Dongpo resumed the second time, he advocated reconciliation of the two parties and taking a middle line.

In short, Su Shi was very happy to see Lu Jia ask his father and son to go to the Censorate Prison. He wished that they were all exiled to Danzhou!

"Brother Zhongnan, do you really think that the father and son of the Lu family were given a quilt, but they were given a quilt by my younger brother..." Wu Haogu thought about the words, "Is it hurt?"

Su Shi touched the bearded man and looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "Isn't that? Who else can beat the Lu family thief like this? Do you think the surname Lu is so easy to deal with? How many people want to harm them, but they are not successful, so you will be harmed!

Hahaha, it’s so good! It’s so satisfying! It’s so satisfying!"

Lu Jiawen of course, his enemies were all over Kaifeng! However, his enemies were mainly gentlemen of the old party and small and medium-sized businesses in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The former is not very despicable, and it is impossible to make money like Wu Haogu, nor does it have the complex social relationships like Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu to take advantage of. The latter lacks political power, so it is difficult to attack a person like Lu Jiawen.

Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu are rich, powerful and backing, and have the means of treacherous ministers. They are even more treacherous than treacherous ministers...

But there is still something wrong! It should be an assassination, so how can everyone know the same?

While Wu Haogu was frowning, Su Shi was still gloating and kept praising Wu Haogu!

"It's like this to be an official! You must punish your opponent to death! Don't learn from my second uncle. His writing and poetry are good, but he won't be an official!

I will not flatter the superiors, nor will I win over and drive the subordinates, especially I am ruthless towards political enemies! If he had your means, our Su family would have been one or two prime ministers long ago. I would not have been in my early thirties before I could get a big blessing."

A great blessing... Wu Haogu couldn't understand, this is Su Erlang who thought he was too young!

He looked at Su Che's second son and looked quite like him, and he could say... The main reason was that he got along well with him, and he had no intention of looking down on businessmen at all.

"Ah, Brother Zhongnan, there is a chance." Wu Haogu thought for a while, "It's an opportunity to go on a mission. If you do it well, you won't have to worry about it in the future."

"On a mission? Where to go?" Su Erlang asked immediately.

"Goryeo, Japan and Danluo." Wu Haogu said, "I have to go across the sea, and there is a little storm. Do you dare to take this trip?"

"How dare not?" Su Shi smiled, "Who told me that my article was not good enough and I couldn't win the emperor's liking?"

"What's wrong with bad articles?" Wu Hao Ancient Road, "If you can bring a vassal to the official family, are you still afraid that you will not be able to do it? Jinshi can be given a gift!"

"A vassal? Is it a Japanese country?"

"It is unlikely that Japan," Wu Haogu paused, "but Danluo can fight for it."

"When should we set out?"

"Next year, or the year after," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Once the Korean and the child have a fight, the opportunity will come."

Danluo Kingdom is Jeju Island. Of course, such a good place cannot be cheaper than Goryeo Kingdom. Wu Haogu has found out now that Goryeo Kingdom has no troops stationed in Danluo Kingdom, nor has it sent a prisoner. It only implements the so-called "one-day visit" that every generation of Danluo Star Lord (equivalent to the king) has to go to Goryeo Kingdom to pay a visit.

In other words, the Song Dynasty still had the opportunity to make a shot on Jeju Island! As long as we can take advantage of the opportunity to drive the fleet to Danluo Island, and leave a small number of armed doctors on the island, establish a "fortress-style academy" and build a trading port, the Song Dynasty can turn Danluo into a dual vassal state of itself and Goryeo... This is not a matter of face, but a huge benefit!

Jeju Island is about 500 miles east of the island, which is the Hakata Port of Japan. If Jeju Island becomes the stronghold of armed doctors, it will be much easier for a doctor to join the Japanese.

...

When Wu Haogu was thinking about how to turn the Danluo Kingdom into a vassal state of the Song Dynasty and used it as a base to spread Confucian benevolence, righteousness and morality to Japan, he never thought that he would soon become a villain and treacherous minister who forced his filial son Lu Benzhi to death!

Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Hall.

The blood book written in the blood of the old hen is now placed on the case table in front of Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji has read every word in the blood book more than once.

Because of this blood letter and Zhao Tingzhi's report, it was delivered to Zhao Ji, who was studying oil paintings with Empress Liu, who was working on oil paintings with Empress Yuanfu, who was working on Empress Yuanfu, who was working on oil paintings through the Imperial Medicine Academy last night.

When Zhao Ji saw the bloody letter and the report, he lost his interest in discussing art with his sister-in-law. He immediately returned to his bedroom and summoned the head of the imperial minister to ask questions. He did not go to bed with confidence until he asked clearly that the fire in the northern military camp in the north of the Zhou Dynasty was done by Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an...

Of course, Zhao Ji was not stupid to be an official. He might have believed that it was the father and son of the Lu family who set fire to the fire and demolish it at first, but when more and more evidence appeared to be shady behind the incident, he could also guess who was trying to do it.

However, Zhao Ji was not sympathetic at all. Lu Jia asked his father and son because Lu Jia had not sold the other half of Dutingyi's house yet, and he had not seen any money for the Qionglinyuan Construction Department.

What is the purpose of such a treacherous minister?

So even though he knew that the treacherous minister was wronged, Zhao Ji also planned to send the two father and son to the office and exile to Haizhou.

But unexpectedly, the little treacherous minister has become a filial son who shows his ambitions by his death, and he even wrote a blood letter to complain about his injustice.

This matter...is not easy to deal with!

The Song Dynasty put aside loyal ministers and filial sons, as if filial sons must be loyal ministers, and loyal ministers must be filial sons.

Now Lu Benzhi is a dead filial son, and he died of his father's crimes, so the crime Lu Jia asked is hard to discuss!

Moreover, he even wrote a blood letter to complain about his injustice...

"Since Lu Jiawen's son has already committed all crimes," Zhao Ji carefully used the words, "It's better to let Lu Jiawen raise the palace."

This is the logic of the Song Dynasty. As soon as the filial son appeared, the struggle caused by the fire in the northern military camp of the state was immediately reversed. The offense and defense were already transferred!

Although the citizens of Kaifeng Prefecture will not use this trick, scholars all over the world will sympathize with the late filial son and Lu Jiawen.

Besides, there are indeed many doubts in the case of the Zhoubei Military Camp!

"Your Majesty," the second prime minister Zeng Bu immediately took over the question. "I think that while letting Lu Jia ask the palace, we need to continue to investigate the case of the Northern Military Camp in the Prefecture!"

"We still need to investigate thoroughly?" Han Zhongyan also confronted him, "The two criminals in this case committed suicide and the other was punished. What's the point of further investigation?

Your Majesty, I think it is urgent to select capable officials as soon as possible to complete the demolition and construction of the military camp in the northern province, so as not to delay the imperial battle in October next year.”

"But there are many suspicious points in this case," said Zhao Tingzhi, the chief censor. "All the dozen criminals who set fire escaped, how can they be settled?"

Han Zhongyan said: "Then let Kaifeng Prefecture continue to investigate."

Zhao Ji turned his gaze to Zeng Bu again, Zeng preached: "Quanfa sent the Kaifeng Prefecture King Virgin to be old and weak, and he may not be able to take on this position. I recommend Guo Zhizhang, the Minister of Justice, to be the Minister of Justice, to be the Lord of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Guo Zhizhang was the eleventh generation grandson of Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He was an official who leaned towards Wang Anshi's new policy, but he was not the core of the new party. Zeng Bu wanted to replace Wang Fu from the old party with him, so he naturally wanted to burn Wu Haogu. In his opinion, letting Wang Fu preside over the investigation was equivalent to covering up the crimes of Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu, Pan Xiao'an and others!

"I have no objection." Han Zhongyan didn't want to argue with Zeng Bu on this issue, after all, the public opinion of Shilin would soon turn to Lu Jia.

"Your Majesty, now the Minister of Taifu Temple is hanging in the air," Zeng Bu continued, "I recommend that the Hanlin scholars be appointed as the Minister of Taifu Temple."

"Cai Qing," Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing present, "Would you like to be the Minister of Taifu Temple?"

Of course, Cai Jing was not very willing in his heart. He wanted to be the prime minister! But the current Taifu Temple Minister leads to the prime minister's ladder. As long as the demolition and reconstruction of the Zhoubei Military Camp can be successfully completed, he will definitely be able to become a minister next year.

Maybe I can get it in one step and squeeze Zeng Bu out of his right prime minister!

"I do!"

Zeng Bu was relieved when he heard Cai Jing say he was willing. Although Cai Jing was a new party, he was the official who Zeng Bu didn't want to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture the least. Because Cai Jing had a deep qualifications and strong ability to do things, and was the only one among Zhang Dun's team who stayed in the court, which meant that he could easily become Zhang Dun's successor.

In addition, the personal relationship between Cai Jing and the official Zhao Ji is particularly good!

Therefore, Zeng Bu must give Cai Jing a errand. As long as he fails, he can kick him out of the court.

Of course, Zeng Bu also knew that Cai Jing and Wu Haogu had a good relationship, so he would definitely ask Wu Haogu for help. As long as Wu Haogu took the project of Zhoubei Military Camp from Cai Jing, he would become the biggest beneficiary of the fire in Zhoubei Military Camp!
