Chapter 607: The father is a resigned person, and the son does not have much ambition.
Yanfu Palace.
When Gao Qiu walked into the palace area, he found that there were craftsmen coming and going. It seemed that the expansion was about to begin as rumored.
Although in Gao Qiu's eyes, this place is majestic and gorgeous enough, the officials are obviously not satisfied and want to build this place into a real paradise on earth.
Gao Qiu showed an envious look, stepped lightly, and walked over.
But when he really saw the side face of Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon throne, he found that he had not seen him for many days. The official had become even thinner, and his whole person looked depressed. It was different from the one he had before he ascended the throne last year.
His mental state when he was playing Cuju in Prince Duan's palace was completely different.
It seems that even if everyone in the world has achieved the supreme enjoyment, they still have troubles...
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Gao Qiu wanted to slap himself.
What a worry!
This master talks about the Constitution of Heaven and is the most powerful person in the world. He can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty with just one word. Why should he worry about this?
It’s better to think about how to please the other party without losing their favor!
When Gao Qiu approached, he found that Zhao Ji's eyes were still shining when he saw Mei Ji's graceful dancing figure. He was completely relieved and stepped forward to salute: "I, Gao Qiu, pay homage to the official family. Long live the official family!"
"
Zhao Ji didn't answer for a while. It was dark outside, and candles were lit in the palace. What made Gao Qiu a little strange was that the nearest palace lantern seemed to be farther away, causing Zhao Ji's face to be gradually half-hidden in the darkness.
Not real.
After a while, the official's gaze moved over, which was a bit profound and a bit scary: "Be careful, by entering the palace to ask for an audience, have you completed the task I entrusted you with?"
Gao Qiu also wanted to answer yes, but judging from the current situation, the murder of the Tai student did not have anything to do with "Zuo Ming". It was just someone who pretended to admit it. He could only say: "I dare not slack off in the slightest. I have been rectifying the emperor's affairs recently."
City Secretary, mobilize capable personnel from various ministries to clear up the previous chaos and share the worries of the officials!"
This statement not only demonstrated his own achievements, but also shifted the responsibility to Yang Jian and Lan Congxi, who were in charge of the Imperial City Division. After all, they had only been in office for a short time, so it was already good to be able to accomplish these things.
But what Zhao Ji was thinking about was the result. As soon as he heard it, he knew that it had not been found out. He immediately showed an unhappy look and waved his hand as if to ward off a bug: "It's useless to talk more, get it done quickly!"
Gao Qiu found that the official's temper was much worse than before, so he became more cautious and said carefully: "I came to the palace to report the murder of a Tai student. Now the clues are gradually becoming clear, which involves the Imperial College officials accepting bribes, taking advantage of others for personal gain, and making
Fraud is a serious matter and must be investigated!"
Zhao Ji raised his brows without much surprise, and smiled faintly: "Fraud? These greedy people couldn't help it after all. Please tell me carefully!"
Gao Qiu didn't quite understand why the officials were so happy when something like this happened, but he knew very well that although he had a handle on his crotch, he was still a domestic slave, and what he needed was complete fairness without any personal standpoint.
, not daring to hide anything, told the whole story of the matter.
As Zhao Ji listened, he turned into a look of surprise and interrupted: "One eye and ten lines, seeing and never forgetting, is it really as magical as you said?"
Gao Qiu said: "It's absolutely true. Everyone in Imperial College is watching. If it's false, it should have been exposed long ago."
Zhao Ji nodded: "That's right... go on!"
Gao Qiu continued, and presented the gift list found in the apartment: "Officials, the evidence of the briber is conclusive, but it is not yet clear which officials of the Imperial College are the bribe takers."
Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, these criminals can't escape. You can hand this case directly to the Yushitai. I will order them to be severely punished. I must put the Imperial Academy in good order!"
When his father, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, was in power, there were many big scandals caused by the imperial censorship, such as Su Dongpo's "Wutai Poetry". Li Ding, the censor who presided over this scandal, was criticized by many people for creating a literary prison.
He had a very bad reputation among scholars.
And Li Ding also hosted another big case, it was Taixue case. During the case trial, he adhered to his consistent style, always doubting the guilt, and wantonly implicating people.
After all, taking more is credit.”
As a result, Emperor Shenzong thought that this was a good job for the Yushitai, and he even ordered a commendation: "For nearly half a year, the imperial censor was ordered to impeach the Imperial College for cheating. The prison chief worked day and night. He ordered Yuan Kanguan to ensure his safety and to measure and reward him."
Just such a case was tried for more than half a year. The censor worked hard day and night. In the end, it was extremely implicated, but it was praised by the emperor. Now a similar thing happened again. Those censors who wanted to impeach people all day long and went crazy,
Wouldn’t you be moved by the wind?
What makes Zhao Ji happy is that he doesn't want that matter to be spread among the public again, but his previous attempts to keep it secret had the opposite effect. Now that he's learning his lesson, opportunities will come to his door.
Compared with the secret affairs of the palace maids, the fairness of the Imperial College is actually what the common people should be more concerned about. This is closely related to whether the poor children can change their own destiny. If the Imperial College scandal causes a fuss and the attention of the government and the public is diverted, it will naturally fade away.
Get rid of previous bad influences.
When he thought of God helping him, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel joyful, and his eyes softened when he looked at Gao Qiu: "Better, it seems that you will be able to complete the first of the three things I have entrusted to you soon!"
Gao Qiu couldn't react, but he could tell that the official's mood had improved, so he quickly smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the official's family."
Zhao Ji hummed, knowing that the credit for this matter was actually not Gao Qiu, but Lin Chong mentioned by this person: "I have heard of this Lin Erlang a few times. He does have some reputation in the capital. Please tell me more specifically...
"
Gao Qiu said: "This man is proficient in medical skills, strong in martial arts, good at cutting eucalyptus, and has a photographic memory. He seems to be omnipotent, but he resigned from the official position and only wants to be a white man."
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "You only want to be in white? I have never seen anyone who doesn't want to be an official. It's just because of his appetite... But if it is true as you said, this person's talent must be extremely outstanding. He can learn from it just by not forgetting what he sees."
You have acquired all kinds of talents, and you will be summoned to the palace in a few days to show me how interesting it is!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Qiu's eyes flashed and he added: "That's Lin Erlang's blessing. It's just that he once had a good relationship with the traitor Gongsun.
If we are close, we can wipe out the Worry-free Cave together, will you..."
Zhao Ji could tell at a glance that Gao Qiu was jealous, fearing that he would regard the talented Lin Chong as a playmate, but after hearing about Gongsun Zhao and Wuyoudong, his face couldn't help but darken.
He snorted coldly.
Zhao Ji actually didn't have a good impression of Wuyou Cave. He heard what Tong Guan said at that time that he could use this to deal with his two relatives and princes, and then let himself take power, so he allowed him to recruit people. As a result, too many uncontrollable things happened, especially
Ever since Gongsun Zhao wiped out the Wuyou Cave, he had been pushed all the way until he finally did that kind of thing.
In the month after the fire in Funing Palace, he could not sleep or eat well. More than once, he fell in front of the Queen Mother with his hands full of blood, surrounded by the people of the government and the public. Those countless pairs of eyes were gushing with surging anger.
The nightmare of tearing the Emperor of the Song Dynasty from his throne!
Naturally, Zhao Ji hated the people around Gongsun Zhao, especially those who wiped out Wuyou Cave, and immediately gave up his plan to meet Lin Chong.
However, Zhao Ji didn't plan to do anything. He was still somewhat rational in political matters and knew not to act emotionally. For example, he hated Zhang Dun deeply, but he stayed until now. It was precisely because the throne was not yet secure and he needed to balance the government.
Bureau, people like Lin Chong can come in handy, and they should make good use of it. Not giving him the official position he wants, so that he does not have the qualifications to threaten himself...
Zhao Ji suddenly said: "Is this Lin Chong's father Lin Yuanjing, the commander of the Imperial Army who was just promoted?"
Gao Qiu had no impression of this person, but he remembered it when he mentioned it: "Ah, really, so he is still a yamen?"
Zhao Ji's expression relaxed: "His yameni is not worthy of its name. I have met Lin Yuanjing. He is cautious and prudent. The son he raised must have a similar personality. No wonder he was not accepted..."
Gao Qiu quickly complimented him: "There is no wiser person than an official!"
Zhao Ji glanced at him, with a teasing look in his eyes: "But this kind of person has been careful all his life, and it is difficult to grasp the clues. He is also a genius. If he really takes part in the imperial examination in the future, it will not be difficult to pass the Jinshi exam. You have to be more careful. Don't worry.
When he rises to prominence, he will become a greater official than you!"
"As long as we can share the worries of the government, the more loyal ministers, the better!"
Gao Qiu said this, but he was actually relying on the fact that he was an old minister of Qiandi, and now he is the imperial city secretary. As long as he has made meritorious service, he can become a promotion and take full control of this intelligence organization. He can control a small civilian.
, isn’t it already within reach?
But when I think about it carefully, I feel a little uneasy.
Because this had precedent in this dynasty, it was Di Qing and Wang Yaochen. The latter was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Renzong's imperial reign. When the Jinshi were parading, a group of soldiers who had just joined the army stood on both sides to catch a glimpse of Wang Boyong. Nineteen-year-old Di Qing also
Among them, when he heard other people lamenting, "He was the number one scholar while I was a pawn at the beginning, Qiong Da is different." Di Qing replied, "Otherwise, how could Gu Cai Er be so good?"
The other soldiers who heard it at that time laughed at him. How could this poor boy with tattoos on his face want to compete with the superior scholar?
As a result, the two of them were in the Privy Council together, Di Qing was the Privy Council envoy, and the former number one scholar Wang Yaochen was the deputy Privy Council envoy, and instead became Di Qing's deputy.
This counterattack story also comes from the notes of a scholar. Whether it is true or not is unknown now, but it is widely circulated among the people.
Gao Qiu was born as a street gangster. Even though he was afraid of going to the battlefield, he admired Di Wuxiang very much. But when he now became a character similar to Wang Yaochen, he really didn't want a commoner boy to counterattack and surpass him.
"Hey!"
Looking at Gao Qiu's expression, Zhao Ji knew that the instigation was successful. He raised his wine glass happily and his mood improved: "Back off!"
Gao Qiu accepted the order and retreated. Zhao Ji smiled, but suddenly felt sad, and murmured sadly: "How can I be such a vicious person? It's all because of them... It's all because of them.
