Chapter 693 Transforming into the real blue sky step by step
"Your Majesty, this thief has been stealing wealth and hurting the people, breaking the law and corrupting the law. He has long since lost the respect of his ministers. Now the fierce flames are spreading, harming the loyal and good, and causing disaster to the capital. You must not let this thief be allowed to cause the people's hearts to boil and the country.
The dynasty is in turmoil!"
When Gao Qiu rushed to the palace, he found that a crowd of civil servants had gathered here. Some even knelt down, kowtowed to the palace, and cried out in sorrow.
When Prince Yongjia and Prince Yongyang were killed, I never saw these scholar-bureaucrats so sad.
When the Queen Mother passed away and Prince Jian's palace burned down, these scholar-bureaucrats were not so sad.
Now that Wu Juhou's whole family has been killed, how come the country's foundation has been shaken all of a sudden?
Gao Qiu was already in a bad mood, and when he saw all these people crying and fighting, the look on his face became even worse, and he even snorted coldly.
When this face fell into the eyes of an interested person, Zhao Tingzhi immediately stepped forward and said: "I am impeaching the Imperial City Secretary to promote Gao Qiu, and he willfully committed adultery with Ding's thief, lost the country, ignored the superiors, and stole authority. If this thief is not eliminated, it will not be enough."
To equalize the anger of everyone above and below!"
Gao Qiuben learned from Ding Run that the people targeting them this time were Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi, and hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Zhao Tingzhi, as the censor Zhongcheng, are you so gullible?"
Zhao Tingzhi's eyes widened and he was awe-inspiring. He stepped forward and asked repeatedly: "Gao Qiu, don't be so arrogant. Who doesn't know that Thief Ding and you are inseparable, advancing and retreating together? This thief even intends to relinquish his position as a judge and join the army."
The Imperial City Secretary is your deputy, now that Thief Ding has committed this heinous crime, you are just trying to get away with it, can you stop the world from talking about it?"
Gao Qiu should actually retort at this time: "The Imperial City Division can also mobilize various squads of the Forbidden Army. According to you, the Imperial Army is also full of thieves? Ding Run was originally a member of the Imperial City Division, and he was transferred to Kaifeng after gaining the trust of the officials.
Fuyamen, why is it weird that you want to go back to the Imperial City Division now?"
But his reaction and eloquence were far behind those of the censor who specialized in trolling people. In addition, Zhao Tingzhi came straight towards him, and the spittle was sprayed on his face. For a moment, he was caught by the opponent's momentum and could only
Trembling with anger: "Zhao Tingzhi, you...you..."
Seeing how miserable Gao Qiu was, Zhao Tingzhi's momentum became stronger and stronger. He found that the wolf had a guilty conscience, and other officials gathered around Gao Qiu.
"quiet!"
Fortunately, at this moment, the sharp eunuch's voice sounded.
The officials looked over and saw Yang Jian and Lan Congxi walking out of the hall with Zhao Ji surrounded on the left and right.
Zhao Ji's face was pale and his face was full of fatigue. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from last night's vigil. Receiving this news on the first day of the new year made the official of the Song Dynasty even more confused.
There are many local examples of killing officials and rebelling. The government exploited them too hard. General officials forced the people to rebel and suppressed them habitually. However, in Bianjing, the chief of the Kaifeng government office had his whole family slaughtered. This was the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
For the first time, the key murderer was his direct subordinate, and he even left his name arrogantly.
In the past, Zhao Ji might have felt secretly happy, thinking that he could change the topic, but after this period of practice, he also understood that although the impact of this news was strong, Wu Juhou, a mere Wu Juhou, could only be a topic for a few days at most.
No less intense than matricide.
So what he was thinking about was how to use this matter to stabilize his imperial power.
It was Zhao Ji's method to block the ministers outside the hall before. Seeing that Gao Ji was under siege and was about to be unable to resist, it was naturally his intention to step forward at the right time.
When Gao Qiu saw Zhao Ji, he immediately rushed in front of him and kowtowed repeatedly: "I ask the officials to make the decision for me! Make the decision for me!"
Zhao Ji looked at him and sighed softly: "Gao Qing's family... sigh!"
Comparing Gao Qiu and the eunuchs together, Zhao Ji is more confident that the eunuchs will not betray him, but comparing Gao Qiu and the ministers together, Zhao Ji must trust Gao Qiu. After all, this is the only confidant of the outer dynasty, so it is
It must be guaranteed.
However, facing the upright and stunned eyes of the civil servants, Zhao Ji, who knew very well that the scholar-bureaucrat group was powerful, would not confront Gao Qiu head-on. He said slowly to Gao Qiu: "Ding Run, as the judge of the Kaifeng government, committed the following crime.
Taotian, you promoted the Imperial City Division, and you had the responsibility of supervising officials, but you did nothing and allowed Wu Longtu's family to die. You should be punished, step down from the position of promotion, and be demoted to the position of promotion!"
Gao Qiu fell to the ground, feeling that the sky was about to collapse, and sobbed: "Official! I am wronged!"
Zhao Ji ignored him and looked at Zhao Tingzhi: "Zhao Zhongcheng, do you think such a punishment is in compliance with the court's laws?"
Zhao Tingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. According to the current responsibilities of the officials, if the Imperial City Department was at fault in this case, wouldn't the Yushitai, which also supervises all officials, be guilty of slacking off? Wouldn't the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment be at fault?
?
This stick seemed to have hit Gao Qiu, but in fact it covered a very wide area. He thought about it carefully and realized that it was unrealistic to take this opportunity to beat Gao Qiu completely to death. He could only say: "Your Majesty is wise.
!”
Zhao Ji nodded slightly: "Zhao Zhongcheng, since you suspect that Gao Qiu and Ding Run are colluding with each other, Gao Qiu should avoid suspicion and bring Ding Run to justice. The responsibility of setting a warning to others is entrusted to you. Can Yushitai live up to expectations?
, take on this important task and bring the thief to justice?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Tingzhi naturally couldn't say no, so he said: "I have no shirking responsibility!"
Zhao Ji nodded: "Okay! It has been a troubled time recently. There must be enemy countries who have seen us. The Song Dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years and the people have lived in peace. They secretly stir up trouble and have evil plans. Your family members must not fulfill the thieves' wishes and make things that will make your relatives and enemies happy.
Things!"
The ministers looked at each other, but were willing to accept this explanation, and responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Ji pressed his brows, and the idea of promoting his cronies among the scholar-bureaucrats came into his mind, and waved his hand: "Stand down!"
The commotion came to an end. Although Gao Qiu was not beaten to death with a stick, the officials at least made rewards and punishments clear and showed their attitude. The officials were still satisfied.
At the same time, many ministers gathered around Zhao Tingzhi, who was upholding justice. They gathered around the chief of the Yushitai, and discussed how to bring Ding Run and the three ministers to trial together, and declare the crime to the world, so as to warn the world that they must never commit such a serious crime.
evil.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The officials in the front disappeared, and the officials in the back left. Gao Qiu, who was in the middle, clenched his fists and stood up slowly. His face turned red and white, filled with sadness and anger.
He suddenly understood why Ding Run raised the butcher knife...
But understanding is understanding. He staggered out of the palace gate. Under the worried gazes of waiting Gao Lian and Jiao Ting, Gao Qiu slowly mounted his horse. His first words were still: "Let's go to the academy!"
Riding his horse to the door of Sui'an Academy, Gao Qiu realized that he had come to the wrong place. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. How could Mr. Lin be at the academy? But when he visited his home for such matters, it seemed...
Fortunately, at this moment, the courtyard door opened, and the familiar tall and tall figure came out and smiled at him.
Gao Qiu's eyes turned red and he rushed forward: "Mr. Lin, fortunately you are still here, you are still here!"
Li Yan supported him, took him into the courtyard, and made a cup of tea: "If you raise a high level, you will make mistakes if you mess up, so be sure."
Gao Qiu drank tea, and then whispered: "I am no longer lifting..."
Li Yan thought to himself that Zhao Ji was really cowardly: "But it's still a point, right?"
Gao Qiu nodded and sighed deeply: "I actually know that whether it is promotion or promotion, I have the final say in the Imperial City Division, but I just can't accept it! This position of promotion is also obtained by a cult.
I have made great achievements in the strongholds of various states. Why should I be convicted and demoted because of a few questions from those civil servants? I have done nothing wrong!"
Li Yan said: "What did Di Wuxiang do wrong back then? What did Wang Wugong, who was also the privy envoy with Di Wuxiang, do wrong? Why were they slandered by civil servants and demoted after being convicted?"
Gao Qiu's face turned ugly: "Does Mr. Lin also think that this is how the world should be?"
Li Yandao: "Of course not! I firmly believe that history will give a fair evaluation. In the future, there will be countless people complaining about Di Wuxiang and the warriors who suffered unfair treatment. But the current atmosphere in the court is indeed like this. Civil servants control the right to speak.
As long as they catch a mistake, they can exploit it and use public opinion to make money. Not only the emperor today, but also the officials of the Song Dynasty in all dynasties have concerns."
Gao Qiu's eyes dimmed and his shoulders slumped: "I understand, I can't compete with the general trend with just one person..."
Li Yan said: "But on the other hand, such civil servants can't do anything about Gao Tiju. They just slander you with unfounded charges. As long as the officials can distinguish between loyal and traitors, they can't really affect you. This shows that Gao Tiju does
Yes, it is truly the right thing to do!”
"The common people have the clearest understanding of this aspect. Whoever can make them live and work in peace and contentment is a good official. Therefore, the common people call you Qingtian, and they don't like Wu Juhou very much!"
Gao Qiu perked up after hearing this. He knelt down in front of the hall before. He felt that he had been abandoned by everyone. It was only at this moment that he regained his dignity and confidence: "Master Lin is right, being an official is to serve the people."
I make the decision, and what I do is meaningful!"
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, I met Ding Run in the Kaifeng government office not long ago..."
Li Yan said: "What did Judge Ding say?"
Hearing this title, Gao Qiu was completely relieved. Sure enough, Mr. Lin was different from others: "Judge Ding said that Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi conspired to corrupt him... Although he also took bribes, they were obviously not for justice.
They are here for the Imperial City Division. Now that Wu Juhou’s family has been wiped out, he listens to Judge Ding and is not planning to leave. He should be targeting Zhao Tingzhi!”
Gao Qiu used to think that Ding Run had gone to an extreme, but now he felt that Ding Run's method was really satisfying. When he said the last sentence, he even felt so full of expectation that he almost cursed Zhao Tingzhi to die.
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tingzhi is no thicker than Wu Ju. Not to mention that the Kaifeng magistrate was exterminated this time. The imperial court will definitely strengthen the security and will never let another tragedy happen. Judge Ding does not know Zhao Tingzhi well enough.
If you act rashly, you may fall into a trap..."
Gao Qiu's expression changed, he looked around, and whispered: "Then how can we help him?"
Li Yan shook his head and said: "Don't act rashly, and don't underestimate Yushitai. Judge Ding's previous dealings with us must have fallen into the eyes of interested people. Now that they can't find Judge Ding's whereabouts, they might want to start with us.
"
Gao Qiu was very awe-inspiring and nodded: "Okay, I won't act rashly!"
Li Yan added: "Since the officials have left this matter to the Yushitai, it depends on what they will do. After Gao Tiju, we might as well recruit more helpers to improve the work ability of the Imperial City Department. Jiao Ting was initially regarded by the housekeeper.
The corruption was later discovered. Isn't this a sign of self-improvement? The more talents that would have been buried, the better!"
Gao Qiu cupped his fists and said, "I understand!"
The two discussed it for a while, and then Gao Qiu bowed deeply and walked out of the academy. Gao Lian, who was waiting outside, suddenly discovered that in just one morning, a rare transformation seemed to have happened to his cousin.
A little less impetuous, a little more determined, and after getting on his horse, Gao Qiu burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for work: "Let's go! Back to the Imperial City Division!"
Hearing the sound of horse hooves disappearing outside, Li Yan in the academy put down his tea cup and felt a little emotional.
Gao Qiu transformed into a real Qingtian step by step. His guidance and promotion are important, but the oppression of the world cannot be ignored. It is really outrageous.
Since it was so outrageous, he shook the bell and sent a simple message to Xiao Hei in a telepathic way: "Go and get the box."
"Zuoming" has not appeared for a long time, and the officials in the capital may have forgotten who... is the real treason!
