Chapter 699: Gao Qingtian at this moment is so dazzling
"Qin Ming was imprisoned and Dong Ping disappeared?"
At that time, Qian once again found out the situation of the two of them. Li Yan, who was on the martial arts training ground, put down his Hanji Gun and raised his eyebrows: "What exactly is going on?"
Shi Qian said: "Qin Ming is the deputy lieutenant of Jinyong. He is now imprisoned for dereliction of duty. He was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. These officials may have seen Judge Ding's tyranny, so they will not be able to arrest them. They will arrest one of their own first. When the time comes,
It’s also easy to do business.”
Li Yan nodded: "That's a good analysis."
Shi Qian said: "As for Dong Ping, he was originally a member of the Imperial Guards in Beijing, but he was also an outstanding figure. It's a pity that his cousin was an internal member of the Ming Zun Sect and was implicated. He spent money on it so he didn't go to jail. This time he was originally
I wanted to use the escort Zhao Tingzhi to stand up, but Zhao Tingzhi was killed again. I guess he saw that the situation was not good and left the capital directly."
After a pause, Shi Qian quite agreed with this behavior: "Although missing at this time will inevitably lead to suspicion, the court always arrests people indiscriminately. If you stay, you will still be unjustly accused and slandered. It is better to go and save your worries."
.”
This time, Li Yan shook his head and said, "That's not right!"
He did not continue talking. Shi Qian immediately knew that this was his brother's test of his ability to analyze intelligence. After thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses: "I understand. Since the Mingzun cult was involved last time, Dong Ping can make money."
To escape, although Zhao Tingzhi's family was killed this time, if it had nothing to do with Dong Ping, he could still be exempted if he continued to deal with it. Now he has escaped directly, but he is suspected of being a thief with a guilty conscience. If the Ministry of Punishment takes advantage of it, he will be on the wanted list.
, wouldn’t it be self-defeating?”
Li Yan smiled and said: "That's right, but this is just something worth doubting. Further information needs to be collected on the specific situation. For example, Dong Ping's money was exhausted last time. He couldn't deal with the greedy officials and had to leave. Now
It is entirely possible. This is a clue worth pursuing."
Shi Qian clasped his fists: "Brother, please don't worry, I'll go investigate again!"
Before noon this time, Shi Qian returned and brought more comprehensive news: "This Dong Ping is a member of the Shangdang family in Hedong. His family is rich. He had spent a total of two thousand guan on his previous affairs, but he still invited several people to do it a few years ago.
The Imperial Guard with a familiar name goes to the main store and spends lavishly, so he has money."
Li Yan asked: "What impression do those forbidden military robes have of Dong Ping?"
Shi Qian said: "He is highly skilled in martial arts and unpredictable with his spears. He is unmatched by anyone he encounters. However, he is also conceited and unwilling to stay under others for a long time."
"Although Dong Ping left the imperial army in Beijing, he still planned to return to Hedong, join the army and perform meritorious service, and find a wife and a wife. It can be seen that this man is very eager for fame. No wonder Zhao Tingzhi immediately joined the bodyguard after being recruited.
, After all, if you can curry favor with the previous censor Zhongcheng, you will have a bright future."
Li Yan said: "In this case, Dong Ping should know that he and Qin Ming were the leaders of the escort of Zhao Tingzhi this time. All the people he wanted to protect were wiped out. He disappeared as a guard for no reason, and the suspicion increased. If the government really wants to arrest him, then
If we return to Hedong, we will have no choice but to turn into bandits."
Shi Qian said curiously: "Yeah, it's not a wise move to just leave. Is this Dong Ping related to the family extermination case? But he has no enmity with Zhao Tingzhi's family, so there is no reason to do such a thing..."
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Qin Ming is in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Can you access it?"
Shi Qian said: "Yes, I focus on the jailers in each major cell. Didn't my brother say before that there are many talents in the prison, so the jailers are naturally worth buying."
Li Yan said approvingly: "Well done, contact Qin Ming through the jailer and ask him and Dong Ping what happened in Zhao Ting's house as quickly as possible."
Shi Qian nodded: "Brother, please don't worry. The Ministry of Punishment has arrested Qin Ming, and Dali Temple may also be preparing to arrest Dong Ping. They are all afraid of the official's wrath, so they will bear the responsibility themselves. I will be there before them!"
Li Yan smiled: "If Dong Ping is still in the capital, just lock down this person's position. As for the officials above the court being angry...heh, that's not necessarily the case!"
…
Zhao Ji was indeed angry for a while, and then started to chuckle.
The sensational effect caused by a single case of Wu Juhou's family extermination is naturally completely different from that of consecutive murder cases.
The court meeting was convened urgently, and the officials entered the palace in a hurry, with shock, anger and anxiety on their faces, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Such a storm, even if it cannot completely replace matricide, is enough to keep the topic hot for a long time, and Zhao Ji was immediately relieved.
As for whether the continuous killing of officials and rebellions meant that the rule of the Zhao and Song royal families was shaken, this was not within the scope of his consideration.
"I am impeaching Wu Junmou, the Minister of Justice, for his mediocrity, profit-seeking and arrogance, which has led to Zhongliang being framed and public resentment boiling over!"
"I impeached Zheng Zan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, for eating too much and paying too much to serve others, which led to the betrayal of Zhongliang and the boiling of public dissatisfaction!"
"I am impeaching the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment. There is no usable talent, and the teaching is inappropriate. The superiors cannot help the master, and the subordinates are dead to benefit the people. They are all dead and eating nothing. They must be strictly investigated!"
Sure enough, as soon as the court meeting began, the Yushi Yanguan immediately launched an attack, targeting the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
Not only the chiefs of the two departments, but from top to bottom, they are all rubbish.
In fact, after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the judicial power of the Yushitai continued to expand, and the powers of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were continuously weakened. By the time of Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the Yushitai Zhongcheng was also the inspector, inspecting officials and supervising civil litigation.
The power of the Yushitai was further strengthened, and the status of the Yanguan was greatly increased. In addition to ignoring the life and death of the warriors, they fought against each other, especially the powerful prime ministers and relatives of the emperor, to show their uprightness.
If used well, this type of person can correct the emperor's mistakes, check and balance the power of the prime minister, and balance the situation between the government and the opposition; if used poorly, he will become powerful, and the important ministers of the two governments will not dare to offend Yan Guan, and Yan Guan will be promoted particularly quickly.
So they intensified their efforts to impeach for the sake of impeachment.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Tingzhi's charges were exposed yesterday, and many censors were discussing impeachment of this officer to show their stance. Today, however, death is the most important thing, and Zhao Tingzhi's coffin must be sealed.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because they do not want this matter to affect the entire Yanguan Group, they must first establish the truth.
However, this incident was originally a scandal in Yushitai. Zhao Tingzhi's accusations had already spread throughout the streets of Bianjing. Now he wanted to take the blame. Zeng Bu, who was usually impeached by officials all day long, first stood up: "Your Majesty.
There is a memorial, since the Qing Dynasty, I have been admonishing the officials on matters, and when the imperial court orders are issued, I have not fully discussed whether the matters should be done or not, and I have to win only after that. I specialize in matters that are private and cannot be argued, in order to slander the officials..."
There was a sudden shock in the palace.
The meaning of Zeng Bu's words is that officials must take care of all the big and small orders of the imperial court, and they must implement them according to their wishes. Otherwise, they will use some rumors to slander the ministers, which can be described as heart-breaking.
And this old minister who was ridiculed as a tortoise came out with a loud voice from his thin body, officially launching a counterattack against the officials: "Today, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhao Ting's curtains are thin and unrepaired, and he is perverting the law for personal gain. The Taiwan admonishment officials still call him
Zhongliang, when he becomes white, he thinks he is black, when he falls, he thinks he is superior. These actions are the actions of crony and arrogant. The purpose of this is to destroy the general and prime minister and weaken the imperial power. It is unpredictable! "
"I also hope that Your Majesty will severely punish the untruthful supervision, purge the censor's platform of remonstrance, promote the clear and stir up the turbid, and remove the filthy!"
The Dali Temple, which had just been scolded so badly, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment and even the Yushitai who had long been dissatisfied on weekdays all came out: "I second my opinion!"
The censors were shocked and angry. Naturally, they, who were always sharp-tongued, were not to be outdone and launched a full-scale rebuttal. The court suddenly became chaotic.
Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, watching expressionlessly, letting the officials make noise, and felt very happy in his heart.
Of course, it is impossible to watch the show all the time, because after the quarrel among the ministers, he was still asked to make the final decision: "Your Majesty, please make the decision!" "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and others!!"
"It would be great if all the court officials were always so obedient..."
Zhao Ji sighed in his heart, but still showed sadness on the surface: "Wu Longtu and Zhao Zhongcheng are my ministers of the Song Dynasty. I am very sad for their misfortune. I am fully aware of the concerns of all the ministers, but there is one
Think about it, who can capture Thief Ding?"
The noisy hall fell silent again.
Yushitai closed his mouth, Zeng Bu and others also closed their mouths.
If Wu Juhou is still a special case, then the murder of Zhao Tingzhi immediately after him shows that this beast is indeed ferocious. On the one hand, they are not sure of catching the thief, but on the other hand, they are a little frightened and do not want the whole family to follow in the footsteps of Wu and Zhao.
…
Zhao Ji looked down indifferently. Although there was no ridicule in his eyes, there was a strong sense of sarcasm and suppression in his eyes: "Don't you have the confidence to capture a thief?"
Wu Junmou, the Minister of Punishment, reacted very quickly and replied: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Thief Ding did not do evil alone, but colluded with the enemy to kill two high-ranking officials in the imperial court!"
Zhao Ji did say before that some enemy countries, seeing that the Song Dynasty had been at peace for a hundred years and the people were living in peace, secretly stirred up trouble and plotted evil, but he did not expect that the punishment department would not do it. They used this aspect very quickly and immediately shied away the responsibility.
However, Zhao Ji was not easy to deal with. He said calmly: "No matter whether Thief Ding has accomplices or not, and how much the enemy forces interfere, arresting the thieves is the top priority today. The Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple will work together."
When handling this case, how long will it take to get the thief Ding and punish him properly so as to quell the anger of the people in the world?"
The three ministers who were named immediately fell silent, and Zeng Bu also closed his mouth, and his thin body returned to its former calm. It was obvious that after improving the authority of the prime minister, he would not participate in the specific capture of thieves, so as not to cause trouble.
Seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold again, Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could not help but curl up into a sneer. Just as he was about to continue to suppress him, he saw a figure in scarlet robes coming out: "Your Majesty, I am willing to arrest the murderer and capture the thief!"
The ministers were stunned and looked over in disbelief.
Even Zhao Ji was stunned and leaned forward slightly.
Because the person who stood up was Gao Qiu.
The Imperial City Secretary Ti Dian, who was impeached and demoted by Zhao Tingzhi a few days ago, actually took the initiative to arrest the murderer of Zhao Tingzhi?
Seeing the silence in the hall, Gao Qiu was also a little nervous, and said the words he had prepared in advance: "I am from a humble background, and I am favored by your majesty. As a reminder to the Imperial City Secretary, I should fulfill my duties loyally and not be selfish. Wu Longtu and Zhao Zhongcheng
As an important minister of the court, if he dies and damages the dignity of our court, how can we allow the murderer to go unpunished? I am willing to lead the Imperial City Division to crack this case and put an end to the turmoil as soon as possible!"
The censor's body swayed, and their eyes turned red. Look at that, they were trying to imitate Ren Boyu and hit the pillar, but they couldn't hit it, because what Gao Qiu said was not wrong, but this act of repaying vengeance with virtue was too humiliating.
.
Wu Junmou, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Zheng Zan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, were both relieved and nervous. It would be good for someone to help them take responsibility, but if the Imperial City Division really handled the case, then they would really be impeached by the censor.
The corpse is a piece of trash.
Zeng Bu also widened his eyes, looked at Gao Qiu carefully, and began to exchange glances with other important ministers. They all saw a strong look of fear in each other's eyes.
Not to mention that the civil servants found it unacceptable, even Zhao Ji found that Gao Qiu at this time was a bit dazzling.
He did not hope to calm down the turmoil as soon as possible, but if he took this opportunity to enhance the authority of the Imperial City Division, that would be good. He nodded slightly: "I am very relieved that Gao Qing's family has been ordered to do something in danger. I will leave this case to you. Don't let me down."
, and don’t disappoint the ministers!”
The white jade pillars holding up the sky in the Great Song Dynasty's court raised purple gold beams across the sea. The Imperial City Secretary raised his head to the sky and bowed down: "I obey your decree!"
