Chapter 643: Ding Run, Ding Yan Luo, Gao Qiu and Gao Qingtian
Wu Mansion.
Wu Juhou carefully checked the studies of his eleven sons and frowned, with an obvious look of hesitation on his face.
His wife personally picked up the fragrant tea, came to the side, glanced at her beloved son-in-law, and then said: "My lord, is there anything that worries you again?"
Wu Juhou's face darkened, but he would not reprimand him in front of his disciples. Instead, he waved his hand: "You all go down!"
For this father who had always been harsh and stern, the Wu family members had shown sincere fear. At this time, they all responded as if they were being pardoned: "Yes!"
Seeing his sons retreating, Wu Juhou looked at his wife and said sternly: "If you dare to protect them again, if you don't study hard and go to the place of fireworks and willow alleys all day long, don't blame me for falling out!"
The wife complained: "I can't bear my husband's words. If I don't give my advice with all my heart, how can it delay their studies?"
Wu Juhou also knew that scolding him was a bit angry, but when he saw that his son had not inherited any of his intelligence, he became very angry: "In an official family, it is easy to get rich and easy to fall. There is a saying among the people, 'Millennium Fields'"
"Change the eight hundred masters" refers to the current situation in the world. If you fail to pass the Jinshi examination, your family will decline very quickly!"
The lady frowned: "Don't any of these children have the qualifications to be a Jinshi?"
Wu Juhou shook his head: "I don't want to lie to myself. They are barely able to pass the provincial examination if they don't study in Taixue."
This actually means that after his death, the clan will inevitably decline. He sighed: "The ones who can truly be rich and prosperous for a long time are the local tyrants who stick to their hometown, so that they can keep the peace of the family forever!"
The lady suddenly realized: "No wonder my husband established a school and farmland in his hometown!"
Wu Juhou smiled bitterly: "Ms. sir... I'm afraid I can't afford this title!"
The lady's expression suddenly changed: "How do you say this? Your husband already knows the Kaifeng government office, isn't this the prime minister's preparation? When Zhang Xianggong leaves, how many people in the court can stop you?"
"Mr. Zhang..."
Thinking of the old man who was even more aggressive than himself, Wu Juhou sighed: "Han Zhongyan is a mediocre person, Zeng Bu and Cai Bian are too selfish, and they are not as practical as me. Whatever the officials have to do, they all need money.
This is also my biggest reliance, but I didn’t expect that Liu Yanqing would happen!”
The lady was shocked and angry: "Then Liu Yanqing's matter is so serious?"
Wu Juhou said: "After Liu Yanqing was captured by the Imperial City, his sons ran around and begged all of us... Hey, even though he is the son of a warrior, he is quite ruthless, which shows that if we
If you don’t reach out to rescue me, you will expose everything that happened before!”
Thinking of the scene where Liu Guangguo, Liu Guangshi and a few young boys rushed in, although Wu Juhou held a grudge in his heart, but when he compared it with his own son, he felt indescribably sad. Even though he was in a high position, his family would probably be really good in the future.
Not as good as the Liu family.
The status of scholar-bureaucrats is much higher than that of warriors, but in terms of family continuation, it is really better to inherit the family of generals like Liu Yanqing.
To put it harshly, taking the Jinshi exam requires talent, and the competition is extremely fierce. As long as there are a few military commanders in each generation who dare to fight hard, they will be rewarded by the court once they die on the front line, and the family will be rich and noble. The difficulty is naturally very different.
.
Thinking of this, he showed deep regret: "I underestimated Ding Run. This person is full of gangsterism. I thought he was just a rough warrior who could manipulate him at will. I didn't expect that he could collude with Xingchen Gao Qiu and take advantage of Ming Zun.
Make a fuss about teaching! If Liu Yanqing can’t be rescued quickly and this matter gets into trouble, others may be fine, but Zhao Tingzhi won’t let me go..."
In the Song Dynasty, corruption would never really lead to the downfall of officials, but corruption could be used as a tool in political struggles to allow opponents to exploit the issue. Zhao Tingzhi originally competed with Wu Juhou for the position of prime minister, and he was also the censor Zhongcheng. How could he miss such a thing?
?
Wu Juhou had foreseen this, so he felt that he might not have a chance to be formally called husband.
The madam was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears. She was just thinking of a solution when there was a knock on the door. The housekeeper hurried in and whispered to Wu Juhou.
Wu Juhou listened attentively, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face: "Quickly find out how many people the Imperial City Division has lost. Once it is confirmed, I will go to the palace tomorrow morning to face the saint!"
The housekeeper took the order and went to do it. Seeing that the husband had changed from being depressed just now to being happy now, the wife also quickly asked: "Is there a change?"
Wu Juhou stroked his beard and said: "Yes, Ding Run and Gao Qiu set up a trap to lure Ming Zunjiao's thieves into an ambush, but they were attacked. The Imperial City Division suffered heavy losses. It was God who helped me! It's fitting that such warriors show off their power and risk their lives."
What an end!"
But the lady didn't understand: "But what does this matter have to do with Liu Yanqing?"
Wu Juhou felt that things had turned around, and he explained in a good mood: "Things in the court have always been affected by one incident, and all the officials did not want the Imperial City Secretary to be in power. Originally, Gao Qiu used Ming Zunjiao to make trouble, just like Gongsun Zhao in the past
The annihilation of Wuyou Cave is generally based on the righteousness, which is difficult to question. Now that he is frustrated, he can naturally criticize him and make the officials give up the idea of appointing the Imperial City Secretary."
Only then did the madam understand: "So suppressing the Imperial City Division is the general trend, and Zhao Tingzhi doesn't dare to embarrass me in this matter?"
Wu Juhou smiled and said: "My wife is smart, this time it is really thanks to those evil cult thieves that they have made up for the situation before it is too late. I will rescue Liu Yanqing quickly, and then completely capture Ding Run, without giving the thieves a chance to continue their counterattack!"
"
Seeing Wu Juhou starting to write a memorial, his wife hurriedly asked her maid to prepare fragrant tea and brought it to the side. The couple looked at each other and played the music in harmony.
…
Early the next day.
Wu Juhou, who was dressed in purple robe, walked out of his mansion and jumped on his horse energetically: "Enter the palace! Go to the Palace of Nourishing Heart!"
Yanfu Palace has not yet been formally built, and the current official family lives in that palace. After taking office recently, many government affairs were handled there. With Wu Juhou's rank and status, he was able to request an audience.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Wu Juhou disliked the official who was over 19 years old. He felt that compared to his father Shenzong, he was really inferior, especially
The mother-killing controversy between them is simply unknown.
Regardless of whether such an incident is true or false, as long as it occurs and leaves a mark in the history of the country, it will be a shocking scandal. The entire court will lose face. To be honest, if it were not for the sake of stability between the government and the public, there should really be ministers who do what Yihuo does and support them. A new king comes to power.
Of course, on the other hand, the scholar-bureaucrats were very satisfied with such an official family, because the imperial power in the midst of such a scandal was obviously extremely unstable and had to rely on the scholar-bureaucrat group.
Although in fact the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty had long been co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the less arbitrary power the emperor Qiangang had, the greater their power was bound to be, especially the position of prime minister.
With a fiery look in Wu Juhou's eyes, he touched the memorial in his sleeve, preparing for this opportunity to take the lead in ousting the Imperial City Secretary and obtain the most powerful political capital to attack the position of prime minister.
However, as soon as he arrived at Yu Street, he found that the people were excited and rushing in one direction: "Go and see the thief! The cult thief who set the fire has been caught!!"
Wu Juhou's body swayed, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly ordered his servants: "Go and see what happened..."
After the servant left, he returned quickly: "Report to Alang, the Kaifeng government office has caught the traitor of Ming Zunjiao!"
Wu Juhou was furious: "I know all about Kaifeng Mansion, how come I don't know that the government office has caught a thief? Let's go and find out what happened?"
The servant kept silent and went to find out more, but soon Wu Juhou no longer needed to deceive himself, because Ding Run and Gao Qiu were riding on tall horses, followed by seven or eight prison cars.
These prisoners were held in solitary confinement and well protected with round shields. When they were paraded through the streets, it was obvious that they must not be beaten to death by the common people and must be closely protected.
What the people are more concerned about this time is the unprecedented arrest efficiency of the government, which makes them feel that everything has come back: "Judge Ding is so powerful! Judge Ding is so powerful!"
"It is said that Judge Ding is Judge Gongsun's senior brother..."
"No wonder, no wonder, we are blessed, finally we have Yama to make the decision for us!"
"Ding Yanluo—Ding Yanluo—!"
Many people's impression of the Imperial City Division has even changed.
The Imperial City Division also bullied men and women back then, and had a very bad reputation among the people, but then it declined. Now it has returned in a heroic way, and it has a sense of preciousness like a prodigal son turning back, so I don't know who took the lead. All of them actually shouted:
"Gao Qingtian—Gao Qingtian—!"
When the deafening cheers came from the streets and alleys, Wu's servants discovered that Wu Juhou's originally straight back suddenly bent down, almost falling off the horse, and Gao Qiu's face was so full of laughter that the creases almost knitted together. : "Ouch, yoyo, I don't dare to take it! I don't dare to take it!"
Ding Run also held his fists on his high horse and repeatedly clasped his fists at the people on both sides. He was even more happy that he finally kept his position as a judge: "Haha! Everyone deserves the prize! You deserve the prize!"
Under the reluctant farewell of the people, the two parted in front of the Chengde Gate. Gao Qiu took the important prisoners to the palace to report the good news to Zhao Ji, while Ding Run hummed a ditty all the way to the Kaifeng government office.
Surrounded by the welcoming welcome of the police officers, he dismounted happily. He accidentally glanced at the wanted notice beside the door, and his smile instantly froze.
Ding Run just felt that the scene of being surrounded by people and welcoming him was very familiar...
Now he remembered that when Wuyou Cave was wiped out, he stood in the crowd and saw Gongsun Zhao sitting on a tall horse, accepting the congratulations and love from the people.
It didn't take long for my junior brother to be on the wanted list.
"Perhaps there is not much time left for me, the judge..."
Ding Run clicked his tongue, summoned a few confidants, and said pleasantly: "Go and check for me, Wu Longtu's family... Yes, I will give them a big gift soon to ease the relationship...
