Chapter 75: Powerful to all officials, who dares to disobey?
Zhao Guan's family listed Wang Fu's main crimes in public, scaring Wang Fu out of his wits.
However, he still wanted to make one last quibble. He knelt on the ground and defended with a trembling voice:
"I, Wang Fu, are loyal and patriotic, and have always put national affairs first. How dare I seize power and make money?
Wang Fu and Zhang, Deng Zhigang’s concubine, were also in love with each other. They were in love with each other. It was Zhang’s choice. Wang Fu never robbed Deng Zhigang’s concubine Zhang...
Deng Zhigang was exiled to Lingnan because of his crimes. This was definitely not the intention of the minister Wang Fu. This was the state's law for criminal officials.
Official sages, please do not listen to the slanderous words of the imperial censor who framed the minister Wang Fu..."
"Huh!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly.
From the memorials written by Cao Fu to impeach more than a dozen officials of the dynasty, he selected the memorial that impeached and listed the evidence of Wang Fu's crimes, held it high to show his subordinates, and said:
"Whether Wang Fu's accusation is true or not, I have so many things to do that I have no time to investigate personally.
According to my decree, Wang Fu, the young prime minister, was escorted to Dali Temple.
Let the officials of Dali Temple take a closer look!
I will never wrong any wise minister,
I will never let go of any traitor who dares to bully me!"
Zhao Ji's words were so powerful that they made all the ministers tremble with fear!
Wang Shaozai, who was once unparalleled in favor and promoted the fastest, was now escorted away by four close subordinates of the Imperial City Division.
At this time, all the ministers were too frightened to look up at Wang Fu, for fear of being implicated...
Regarding the civil servants present, most of them have a dark history of "favors and courtesies" in the officialdom, that is, the behavior of accepting and giving bribes.
However, these civil servants of sixth grade and above are all "human spirits", and they also heard the meaning of Zhao Guanjia's words, and will never let go of any treacherous person who dares to deceive the emperor. They think that they are not treacherous ministers;
I have never deceived you. So will I escape this disaster?
They were unsure, but now they were facing the majestic Zhao Guan family, what could they do?
One can only hope that his name is not included in the dozen or so memorials for impeaching officials that Zhao Guan’s family is holding now.
Zhao Ji looked at the flustered ministers calmly, and he slowly put the remaining impeachment memorials written by Cao Fu into his arms.
"Everyone who loves you, please don't panic. I believe that all of you who love me are not Gao Qiu or Wang Fu."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers knelt down again.
After hearing what Zhao Guanjia said, the ministers felt a little relieved. It was just a little angry.
Zhao Ji did not learn from Cao Cao in the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and burn the impeachment memorial written by Cao Fu like everyone burned letters of surrender to the enemy. Instead, he collected all the remaining ten or so impeachment letters.<
/p>
Zhao Ji feels that if the situation is different, the behavior will naturally be different.
This is mainly because in Cao Fu's memorial, the evidence for the crimes of Gao Qiu and Wang Fu is conclusive, but for those who are not as arrogant and high-profile as these two men, the evidence of the crimes cited is too obvious.
No more power.
Today, before coming to Genyue, Zhao Ji had already read all the impeachment memorials of Cao Fu Shangshu in the harem. For example, when he impeached Cai Jing, the grand master who had become an official, he only wrote about the battle of Cai Jingxing Huashigang, and changed it to
The salt method and the tea method are worth ten coins, which harm the country for political purposes.
Zhao Ji knew that Cao Fu's impeachment memorial against Cai Jing could not defeat Cai Jing.
After all, when Cai Jing was in power, all the policies he implemented were approved by the original owner of Zhao Ji's body.
Cai Jing was ferocious and cunning by nature, good at wielding power, and always used his wisdom to control people. He specialized in spying on the mind of the original owner, Song Huizong, in order to retain his position and favor.
Cai Jing also found a legitimate reason for extravagant enjoyment for the original owner of Zhao Ji's body.
Cai Jing quoted scriptures to find reasons, and always said to the emperor: There is no need to stick to the customs, and the financial resources of all the nine states should be used to contribute to the enjoyment of the emperor. This can show the wealth of the Song Dynasty and intimidate the barbarian enemies...
Zhao Ji also knew that during the nearly twenty years since Cai Jing was in power, he had cultivated many personal forces in the DPRK, which were so intertwined that they were almost unbreakable.
It’s hard to deal with Cai Jing like this!
The enemy's fortress is difficult to break from the outside, but it is easy to break from the inside.
Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing's eldest son, bachelor Cai You, with gentle eyes.
Cai You couldn't help but shudder after seeing Zhao Guan's intriguing eyes.
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Cai Aiqing is commendable for her loyalty and uprightness. After visiting Genyue, I invited Cai Aiqing to the palace. I have something to discuss with Aiqing in detail."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. Your Majesty, Cai You, obeys your order." Cai You was flattered, knelt down and said, "I am willing to donate half of my wealth as a monk to fill the national treasury."
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: "Cai You, you are quite good.
Then, I will keep you for a while!
So that I can use your hand to break through your father Cai Jing’s strong ‘fortress’.
After all, it has only been about half a year since you father and son turned against each other, and it is difficult for others to collect evidence of your father Cai Jing's corruption of the country, forming cliques for personal gain, and corruption, but it is different for you, the former Grand Master Cai of the Imperial Palace." Cai You took the initiative to show his kindness to Zhao Guan's family and was willing to donate half of the family's wealth. This move made the more than a hundred civil servants present gnashed their teeth with anger.
It is known to all civil servants that after Cai You fell out with his father Cai Jing and moved out of the Grand Master's Mansion, his family fortune was not much.
He, Cai You, dared to donate half of his family wealth. In fact, it was only 18,000 yuan. It was equivalent to a broken pot. There was nothing to worry about.
However, other civil servants have families and businesses. Before, when they committed corruption and violated the law, they had accumulated their wealth for several years in fear, but they really did not dare to have Cai You so boldly say that he would donate half of his family wealth. Even if they were asked to donate one-tenth of their family wealth, their hearts would be as painful as having their butt cut...
However, they still did not dare to refute even a single sentence. After all, Taiwei Gao Qiu and Shaozai Wang Fu, who had just disobeyed the official Zhao family, had already been escorted to Dali Temple for trial.
Zhao Ji was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "My dear friends, please don't be surprised. Please continue to visit Genyue. I still have state affairs to deal with, so I will not accompany you all.
By the way,
Sir, if you come out early from your visit to Genyue, you can go to the execution ground in the capital and see the demon Dao Lin Lingsu being beheaded at three quarters of noon."
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he turned around and got on the dragon chariot. Protected by hundreds of fully armed soldiers from the Imperial City Division, he left the gate of Genyue...
The ministers were left in a daze for a long time.
At this time, the great eunuch Yang Jian, who had regained his composure a little, felt a little sad. However, he knew that if he could not handle the errands of Zhao Guan's family, whose temperament changed drastically, he might follow in the footsteps of Lin Lingsu, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu and others. "Cough cough cough..." Yang Jian coughed violently. After taking a few breaths, he raised his voice and shouted:
"According to the decree of the official, our family respectfully welcomes all the ministers to visit Genyue. Before entering the gate of Genyue, please come to our house in order to write down the amount of money that the ministers want to donate to the national treasury, and sign and sign..." If the Zhao Guan family had not publicly escorted the two most favored officials, Yi Wen and "Wu", to Dali Temple for trial, then, based on the character of these intellectuals and officials, they would have dared to refuse to donate one-tenth of their family wealth.
.
However, with the lessons learned by Gao Qiu and Wang Fu, they could only bite the bullet and still walked to the gate of Genyue to enter the garden. They wrote on the roster on the table that Yang Jian had prepared.
I placed the amount of money I pledged and signed and pledged it...
