He doesn't even care about the truth of this case!
He only cares about one thing - how to use this opportunity to infiltrate people from the Detective Department into Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple.
Then, complete the control and mastery of Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple.
Once this is done, everything else is just trivial matters.
These days, Shi Deyi has selected suitable candidates in the Detective Department and has begun training.
Just waiting for the opportunity when Cai Jing takes over the Dali Temple, he will use Li Yong's case to clean up the Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple and infiltrate them.
But then again, Li Yong's case is quite interesting.
Zhao Xu thought about the files that Fu Yaoyu had uncovered so far and the confessions that were obtained based on An Dun's interrogation.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in his heart: "It's really interesting, isn't it?"
"If the details of this case are completely recorded and passed on to later generations, then the first stage of the case alone will be a vivid textbook of the government's behavior of squeezing wealthy businessmen during the Song Dynasty!"
In modern times, Zhao Xu followed his teacher and did similar projects.
So, he looked at the files and then the confessions.
The smell reached his nose.
So familiar!
Had it not been for the fact that the defendant was an official and his son was still an official in the capital.
Then this is almost a standard process for the Song Dynasty government to use justice to squeeze and exploit wealthy businessmen.
This kind of thing usually occurs in property dispute cases between local military and state governments.
The favorite thing among local subordinates and officials is disputes over property.
The magistrates would decide in favor of the plaintiff at one time and in favor of the defendant at another.
The calls went back and forth, the magistrates and magistrates were called, one after another.
Everyone can happily take a large amount of money with them when they leave.
The property of the plaintiff and defendant was slowly drained away in the process.
In the end nothing is left.
Li Yong had the courage to go to Beijing to file an imperial complaint even though he could afford a huge sum of three thousand guan to buy himself an official position.
That means his property is far more than three thousand guan.
Naturally, it is reasonable for him to be targeted.
Therefore, there is an explanation for the bizarre operations and shocking verdicts of Kaifeng Mansion, as well as the fact that the wealthy businessman named Li Yong has been fighting in Bianjing.
Those guys in Kaifeng Mansion simply didn't want Li Yong to give up.
They are in PUA Li Yong.
They are deliberately prolonging the lawsuit and delaying the case.
The purpose is to drain Li Yong's property.
Maybe, when Li Yong was litigating in Kaifeng Prefecture, he might have received help, guidance and sympathy from many "conscience" officials.
that is……
Zhao Xu has not yet figured out two issues.
First: How could Hu Ji be so stupid?
It’s understandable that the people below would be tempted by a few thousand coins.
A person with big eyes is always only as big as money.
But Hu Ji was a court official and had a bright future.
How could he destroy his reputation for thousands of dollars that he may not always get?
There must be something hidden inside.
Second, was Li Yong already spotted by others before he entered the capital? Did he come to the capital specifically to be a pawn across the river? Or was he discovered and selected in Bianjing City?
This question is very important.
It doesn't matter whether there are any careerists in the court!
If it's the former...
This person must not be kept!
You dare to make long-term plans today and make plans to dominate. It's time to stop.
Will you dare to use me as a pawn to plot against me tomorrow?
I have no father!
No matter how good-tempered and magnanimous Zhao Xu was, he would never tolerate such a person.
…
Of course it is impossible for the governor in the capital to know everything!
If this is the case, they are not worthy of being governors.
Especially Han Jiang, written by Lu Gong, an old minister with countless sources of information in the palace.
It was almost when Fu Yaoyu left Qingshou Palace.
Rough details about the Qingshou Palace have been sent to the desks of the two prime ministers.
About half an hour later, other officials in the capital also obtained the sources of information from their respective channels.
In the Song Dynasty, this was a normal thing.
Don't look at the civil servants who scold their ministers every day and often strike hard and stab a few unlucky ministers to declare their status.
But in fact, as long as the butt is sitting in the position of being controlled or even dominated.
Everyone will have one or two close ministers.
Especially in the current special situation where the young master is in charge of the government and the two palaces.
The exchanges between the inner court and the outer court are becoming increasingly close.
The palace will not interfere with the exchanges between the inner court and the outer court now.
Because this is to win the trust of the foreign court.
Shows that there is no privacy in the palace!
Otherwise, the officials in the outer court will become suspicious.
This is also caused by the special pattern under the current special circumstances.
The imperial party is powerful!
In partial birth, the official family is young and cannot handle the affairs of the palace, so the power falls into the hands of the two palaces.
At this time, if the officials of the outer court cannot even grasp the affairs in the palace in time.
It's hard to guarantee that someone will be suspicious and come up with something.
That's not good.
Therefore, now is the happiest time for the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.
On the one hand, the emperor was young and the two palaces were in charge of political affairs, but the two palaces were not familiar with the general affairs.
A large amount of power that used to belong to the emperor has now fallen into the hands of the prime ministers, and the power of the east and west governments has greatly increased!
The two prime ministers can do what they want to do according to their own wishes.
On the other hand, although the emperor is young, he is not a young man in terms of mind and ability.
Therefore, he can tell the truth!
If major matters such as changing laws and policies are presented to him, he will not object, so everyone can proceed with confidence.
If something goes wrong, this official will not even blame the prime minister.
Instead, he will redeploy and adjust.
This is great.
This is also the reason why the imperial party is growing day by day. Even now in the court, there are voices whispering: Today's son is smart, handsome and benevolent. Although he is young, he already has the laws of his ancestors and the majesty of the king is comparable to that of a king.
That's right.
The subtext inside and outside the words is - the emperor should hurry up and take charge!
That is to say, that official has never expressed his intention to personally govern.
Not even suggestive movements.
Otherwise, there may be a lot of people in Bianjing City thinking day and night, how to get the two palaces to withdraw the curtains and return to the capital to enjoy their old age.
It’s not like you’ve never done this kind of thing before!
Back then, Han Zhongxian had already laid out the samples and there they were, so everyone could just copy them.
Therefore, as soon as the two prime ministers received the news from the inner court, their eyes rolled.
"These silverfish in Kaifeng Mansion!" Han Jiang saw the problem with Kaifeng Mansion with just one glance - he had even made similar guesses a long time ago.
There's nothing he can do about it, he's seen this kind of thing a lot in this place.
He even corrected many similar cases and thus gained the support of many victims.
Han Jiang has taken several things like the Wanmin Umbrella!
"Why is this Dali Temple so stupid?"
"its not right!"
"And Hu Ji..."
"Not like a fool!"
Han Jiang rubbed her hands and felt that this matter was very problematic.
Especially when I read the news from the palace that it was clearly mentioned that the Queen Mother was angry and wanted to recruit the emperor, but was blocked by the Queen Mother.
Han Jiang narrowed her eyes.
The old fox's killer instinct was awakened.
"If there is no inside story behind this matter, I won't believe it!"
At this time, an old official quietly came to Han Jiang and reported in a low voice: "Zuo Kui, a message has been sent from the Right Prime Minister's Office. Please move to the Right Pushe Hall..."
Han Jiang laughed: "Uncle Lu Hui, do you want to get along with me?"
Then he stood up slowly and said, "Go and tell Uncle Lu Hui that I will be here shortly."
He slowly walked towards a structure behind the main hall.
There are more than a dozen officials here, counting and sorting out relevant documents.
Han Jiang coughed, and these people immediately stopped their movements and respectfully bowed their hands: "I will pay my respects to our husband."
The officials in the capital are just officials.
But he is also regarded as an official.
Moreover, as long as you do well, you can be sent to a local military state as an official.
Although I am following the path of grinding and exploration, it is difficult to get promoted.
But the Song Dynasty is not without precedents of advancing from miscellaneous people to the level of being prepared.
There are even more examples of people who have become officials in the capital or court.
Even in the current capital, there are high-ranking officials with mixed backgrounds.
Especially for those positions with strong professional nature, keen and shrewd people with mixed backgrounds have been selected throughout the ages to fill them.
Therefore, every time Han Jiang appeared in front of these officials, they would try their best to fight for opportunities.
A single word from the prime minister can determine their future!
Han Jiang whispered: "Let's take Duan Jilong, the magistrate of Jezhou, check the appointment of the Zhongshu Lifang and the official affairs department, Hu Ji, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, Wang Xiaoxian, the minister of Dali Temple, and the left to advise the official Sun Sheng on the prosecution. The hall is thin and the role is taken.
."
"promise!"
Immediately, someone started to search here quickly.
Soon, Han Jiang called the names of those who wanted to report themselves, and all the characters were fetched and respectfully presented to Han Jiang.
Han Jiang nodded, took it, turned around and left.
All the officials bowed to see him off.
Taking these things, Han Jiang went directly to the imperial hall where Mr. Lu, the Prime Minister of the Left, was sitting without looking at them.
Han Jiang knew that Uncle Lu Hui should know some inside information.
so.
These things in his hands are a kind of deterrence.
Tell Mr. Lu - I also know a little bit.
You, stop hiding it and say what you need to say.
From official to prime minister, there is nothing taboo anymore.
When Han Jiang walked to Lu Gongzhu's imperial hall, Lu Gongzhu had already prepared the tea soup and stood back, waiting for him.
Lu Gongzhu saw the documents Han Jiang was holding at a glance.
I can't help it, it's too conspicuous!
In the Song Dynasty system, official reports and roles were all written on silk paper.
Moreover, officials at different levels have different identities, roles, and different paper colors, specifications, and quantities.
In Han Jiang's hand, such thick silk paper.
It’s hard to prevent Mr. Lu from paying attention!
Mr. Lu suddenly raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows. He stepped forward with a smile, bowed and then asked, knowingly: "Why is Zuo Kui holding so many confessions in his hand?"
Han Jiang returned the courtesy, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's just a confession from a junior, and his role is very humble!"
"I just wanted to take a look..."
He raised the documents in his hand, which were almost an inch or two thick in total: "Is there any unknown connection between the other generation?"
Mr. Lu looked at the documents with a smile and said, "What does Zuo Kui want to know?"
Han Jiang grinned: "Are they forming a party?"
Mr. Lu's smile solidified.
This is what worries him.
Form a party!
This is a red line that officials cannot touch, and it is also a widespread thing.
Under a system like the Song Dynasty, if officials did not form a party, they would not be able to do anything.
But if they form a party, it will leave a clue.
The superiors can use this as a handle at any time to manipulate or even accuse ministers.
At the same time, once the matter of forming a party is put on the table.
A violent storm hit immediately.
Mr. Lu had been an official for decades and had already become a master.
Naturally, he won't leave any clues for others to catch him.
But the problem is that the people around him are not as powerful as him.
Therefore, he looked at Han Jiang and smiled slightly: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are serious..."
"Now that the people in the DPRK are busy, where are the cronies?"
Don't talk nonsense!
Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty is full of gentlemen and gentlemen.
Even if there are such villains, they are only a handful!
"Oh!" Han Jiang didn't care about this either.
He just took the paperwork in his hand and sat down at the guest seat without ceremony.
Then he waited quietly for Uncle Lu Hui, scooped out a bowl of tea soup for him and brought it to him.
The steaming tea soup exuded the fragrance of tea. Just smelling it made Han Jiang's spirit perk up.
He put aside the documents in his hand, picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and praised: "The right minister's tea is as delicious as ever."
"Coarse tea... Coarse tea..." Lu Gong smiled, but he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
Because he knew very well that Han Jiang, an old guy, was definitely here to kill him.
To settle this matter, he didn't know how much he would have to pay? How much concessions would he have to make?
But there is no way!
Who is it that he is now the core and leader of the old party?
The little brother poked out the basket but didn't wipe his butt clean.
If he doesn't come out to clean up, if he doesn't clean up, who will?
Sima Guang?
Better say goodbye!
Sima Guang fell ill again today.
I heard that my feet hurt and I couldn't walk.
With his body, Mr. Lu couldn't bear to let him work out for such a thing.
Moreover, Sima Guang's character is too strong.
He couldn't turn around on this kind of thing.
Lu Gongzhu felt that if Sima Guang really had to deal with it, he might learn from Zhuge Wuhou and kill Ma Su with tears!
But the problem is - this Ma Su can't kill him!
If you chop it off, there will be big problems!
Cai Que from Fujian, Zhang Dun from Guangxi, Lu Huiqing from Hedong, Zeng Bu from Yangzhou, Han Zhen from Suzhou, Pu Zongmeng from Bozhou...
They will all come out to cause wind and rain.
They even joined forces to fight against the Prime Minister of Dudutang.
Are you okay?
If that doesn't work, just change someone and let the real talents of the country and ministers of society assist your father!
Especially Cai Que, he might say some weird words.
Lu Gongzhu believed that Han Jiang definitely didn't want to see those guys stepping on everyone back.
At least not now!
Han Jiang held the tea cup, took a sip gently, and then looked at Lu Gongzhu: "Tell me, right minister, what are these people doing?"
He pointed to the documents placed before him.
"The Queen Mother in the palace is furious!"
"It would be really big if they really had to pull them out and expose them to the sun for the things they did!"
No matter how small a thing is, once it is made public and exposed to the sun, it may lead to disaster.
The Qingli New Deal was not just because of a small case that could not even be called a fraud. The case of reselling waste paper in the prime minister's office and then using the money to eat flower wine was brought out by Wang Gongchen. In the end, it was revealed that the case was completely broken. Crash?
Wasn't Wu Chong's dismissal from the prime minister also caused by a Chen Anmin case that had little to do with him?
The reason for Wang Gui's sudden death was that he said the wrong thing, was caught by someone, chased and beaten, and continued to expand, and the anger was so intense?!
Lord Lu listened, sighed, and then walked to the door of his royal hall in person, closed the door, and locked the doors and windows.
At the same time, he asked his confidants to watch the closed doors and corridors closely to ensure that no one could spy on what was going on in the palace.
Only then did he turn around, sit down at the top, and talk to Han Jiang.
Of course, it's just something he knows.
At the same time, it is inevitable to use some Spring and Autumn style to conceal some dangerous things, or to lighten the plot.
After hearing this, Han Jiang grinned and couldn't help but shake his head.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "Young people today are so courageous!"
However, when he was young, he was very courageous in order to get promoted.
In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there were every turn of events.
Everyone must be ready to deal with attacks from others at any time, and everyone must be ready to dig holes for others at any time.
Because only by killing political opponents can you ascend to power.
Therefore, Han Jiang can understand the impatience of young people.
But I understand, and I want him to help and calm this matter down as much as possible.
He can't live without the benefits.
Therefore, Han Jiang raised his head, looked at Lu Gongzhu, and began to set out his own conditions.
"Zuo Jianyi, the official Sun Sheng, Zuo Zhengyan, Liu Fengshi and others must be dismissed from office!"
Mr. Lu nodded.
This is for sure. Unless a few of the troublemakers are sacrificed to the flag, this matter will not be settled.
"Kyomoto, the transfer envoy of Jingdong Road, should be added as a bachelor of Longtuge or Tianzhang Pavilion to be made!"
This is a benefit to his close confidants.
After Kumamoto Garontaku is a bachelor or Tenzōkaku, he can return to the imperial court in the second half of the year. His qualifications and level are also qualified.
When the time comes, there will be no problem with the four-in-one operation.
There are even opportunities to enter the two houses directly.
After Lu Gongzhu hesitated for a moment, he still chose to nod.
But Han Jiang wanted more than just that.
Since he seized the opportunity, he naturally wanted to make arrangements for himself after his retirement.
You can't just go and have tea to cool down, and you can't go out and have a good rest.
Therefore, Han Jiang made his biggest offer.
"I would like to recommend Su Song to take over the position of Minister of Household Affairs in the future."
Lu Gongzhu's expression suddenly changed dramatically.
Since the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the Ministry of Revenue has taken over the official offices and powers of the entire three divisions, becoming the most important department among the six ministries.
It is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the Ministry of Revenue controls the money bag of the Song Dynasty.
Especially now, the government strictly controls the use of the money sealed in the inner treasury. For expenditures of more than 10,000 guan, it is necessary to sign and deposit it with the governor of the capital, use the seals of the two palaces, and finally obtain the official decree.
Whoever holds the household department is holding the capital by the neck.
Lu Gongzhu originally wanted Fan Chunren or Lu Dafang to be the Minister of Household Affairs.
In this way, they can all accumulate qualifications and the possibility of taking office in the future will be greatly increased.
It is also conducive to the continuity of government policies after he takes office.
But now, Han Jiang opened her mouth and wanted to take away this most popular position.
"Su Song?" Mr. Lu took a deep breath, thought about it, and finally lowered his head: "Yes!"
Su Song, I can barely accept it.
But the question is - when did Su Song get closer to Han Jiang?
Isn't he one of the most trusted veterans among today's officials?
In order for him to be promoted to the official affairs of the counties and towns in the Kaifeng prefecture, the officials even set a precedent - a special order was given to worship him, the ceremony was performed, and the rituals were compared with Duan Ming (actually, he was regarded as a ruler, but he was not given an umbrella. ).
At the same time, an edict was issued that Su Song could come before the emperor to take orders regarding matters related to the Kaifeng Prefecture and the Astronomy Bureau!
This is a great honor! It is also a privilege!
Generally speaking, only the prime minister (strictly speaking, the prime minister) has such privileges.
Because taking the decree in front of the emperor meant that Su Song could bypass the capital, report directly, and act expediently after getting the emperor's permission.
In other words, Su Song never uses this privilege.
All matters, no matter how big or small, are reported to the capital hall and reported through the capital hall procedures.
Otherwise, just this alone would arouse an unknown amount of hostility and jealousy to Su Song.
How do you know about Lu Gongzhu?
After the case of his grandson Han Jie, Han Jiang had given up his efforts to pave the way for his descendants.
Now, he only thinks about preserving his political achievements and posthumous reputation.
In this way, even if the descendants are useless, the remaining shadow will be enough to protect their wealth for a long time - they can just lie down and eat welfare.
As for himself, of course he wanted to enter the Ancestral Temple and stay with the late emperor!
And Su Song is Han Jiang's best candidate in this situation.
He is an old man, follows the rules, is steady, and also likes to be friendly.
Su Song's presence in the court can at least ensure that his general policies will remain unchanged after he takes office.
