Censors are noble officials and a vital link in the civil service system.
The Liu family belonged to a noble clan of military generals and were relatives of the emperor. They were the most hated people by the censors.
The only interaction between the censors and the Liu family was to impeach the Liu family.
Moreover, there is a difference between civil and military affairs. Censors are civil servants. Even if they want to take refuge, they will take refuge in the three prime ministers and assistants instead of taking refuge in the generals and nobles.
When Liu Congde saw that Liu Mei didn't believe it, he became anxious and said, "It's true. He said his name is Wu Xian and he is a censor."
Liu Mei paused on her feet and widened her eyes.
"Wu Xian?!"
Liu Congde nodded heavily.
Liu Mei asked: "Did you bring him to your house?"
Liu Congde nodded again.
Liu Mei slapped her thigh and said, "Get out quickly, we can't keep this person."
Liu Congde was stunned.
Liu Mei sighed and explained: "It's true that he is a censor, but he is a hot censor. There are three prime ministers and assistants in the court, and he offended two of them at once. More importantly, he is so stupid that even
Even the life-saving objects cannot be saved, and my father cannot save him."
"We can ask my aunt to take action..."
Liu Congde came up with the idea.
Liu Mei glared and cursed: "Confused! Your aunt is in charge of the middle palace and the inner court, and has been criticized by others. What do you want to do if you win over the censor and make friends with foreign ministers? Is she going to imitate Wu Zhou?"
Liu Mei did not explain everything to Liu Congde and stopped at the point.
He was afraid that if he said something that was taboo to Liu Congde, Liu Congde would go out and talk nonsense.
As the empress, Liu E was in charge of the middle palace. It was her duty to run the inner court, which was considered to be beyond her authority.
However, the official family was seriously ill and the crown prince was young, so it was understandable that the queen Liu E would come to assist the government and help the crown prince.
But once you win over the censor and make friends with foreign ministers, the nature is different.
It is easy to be labeled as imitating Wu Zhou.
The official Zhao Heng was seriously ill and could not afford it. He trusted Liu E and gave her the power to assist the government, but this did not mean that he wanted to see another Wu Zhou appear.
As long as Zhao Heng doesn't die, Liu E will have to keep her tail between her legs.
Liu Congde didn't understand the importance of this, but Liu Mei did.
Liu Mei took the skirt, shoulder armor, and helmet from Liu Congde's hands and put them on again.
"My father has returned to the military camp. Today, I will pretend that my father has never come back..."
Before leaving, Liu Mei warned Liu Congde again: "Kick Wu Xian out quickly. If he stays in the house for a moment longer, he will become a topic for others to impeach my Liu family."
Liu Mei came back as quickly as she left.
By the time Liu Congde came to his senses, Liu Mei had disappeared.
He stood there blankly and murmured: "How could this happen?"
"That's a censor..."
Liu Congde let out a long sigh.
Until now, he has not figured out the stakes involved.
But he didn't dare to go against Liu Mei's words.
He didn't have the nerve to see Wu Xian, so he asked the housekeeper to come forward and send Wu Xian away.
Wu Xian walked around Liu's house and was eventually kicked out again.
Liu Congde, who welcomed him in, never showed up.
Wu Xian stood at the door of Liu's mansion, looking up to the sky and wailing, "Liu Mei is not going to let me go, God is going to kill me..."
To this day, he still doesn't know who really harmed him.
"At this point, the only one who can save me is my mentor... I want to find him... I hope he can remember some of his past friendship..."
Wu Xian still thought that Li Di could save his life because of the friendship between teachers and students in the past.
But he didn't know that Li Di signed his name on his reminder.
…
Li Mansion.
A young boy in green clothes handed a greeting card to the door of Li Mansion.
The door welcomed people in and led them to the study.
Li Di, wearing a Confucian shirt and stroking his long beard, picked through the classics of various scholars and found important places, so he copied them.
As one of the lecturers of the Crown Prince, Li Di has to prepare lessons every day. After tomorrow's court meeting, he will teach the Crown Prince about 'Benevolence' in the Five Constant Rules of Confucianism. Now he is going to excerpt sentences related to the word 'Benevolence' from Confucian classics.
Come out and teach the crown prince.
Menzi entered the study and saluted: "Sir, Lord Wang Shu has sent someone here."
"Wang Shu? What does he want from me?"
The young man in green clothes saluted Li Di and said with a smile: "I have met Mr. Li. Tomorrow, at the court meeting, my master will impeach Wu Xian for corruption, perverting the law, allowing his brother to commit murder, seeking wealth and killing, and other fifteen major crimes. I specially invite Li Di."
Mr. Prime Minister’s signature.”
"That traitor who is seeking glory?"
Li Di was stunned and tightened his grip on the penholder, "Impeach Wu Xian? Did you get back the rhinoceros belt from the Kou family?"
The boy in green clothes smiled and said, "I got it back."
Li Di loosened his grip on the pen, smiled and said: "Bring the memorial here, I will add a few strokes."
The young man in green clothes quickly took out the memorial from his arms and handed it to Li Di.
Li Di took the memorial, opened it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Three people have already signed it. Wang Shu's handiwork is not small..."
Li Di happily added his name to the memorial, handed it back to the young man in Qingyi, and said: "After leaving the mansion, go to Zuo Jianyi's mansion again and tell him that a memorial will be delivered tomorrow."
"I understand..."
The young man in green clothes took the memorial, left Li's Mansion, and went to Dr. Zuo Jianyi's residence.
Dr. Zuo Jianyi is Li Di's disciple, so he will naturally obey Li Di's words.
So many important figures in the court took action together.
Wu Xian must die.
In fact, to create such a big scene in order to deal with Wu Xian, a small imperial censor, was obviously a step too far.
But Wang Shu obviously wants to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.
Li Di also saw from Wang Shu's memorial the intention of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, so he didn't mind making the scene bigger.
Wang Shu needs to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, and Li Di also needs to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.
Wu Xian's betrayal has sounded the alarm for him.
Li Di could mobilize an official from the fourth rank with just a move of his mouth.
Kou Ji moved his mouth and could only give instructions to the waiters in Wanhua Building.
"Go and prepare a basin of water..."
Standing in front of the door of Su Chaner's boudoir, Kou Ji gave instructions to the Wanhualou waiter waiting outside the door, and then returned to the room.
In Su Chan'er's boudoir.
Su Chaner shyly stood aside and pinched the corner of her clothes.
Liu Heng sat at the table and laughed heartily.
Erbao laughed so hard that he couldn't even stand up straight.
There was only a thin and frail boy standing by the desk, pouting with an aggrieved look on his face.
On his face, a big tortoise was drawn with thick ink, which was dark and dark.
This is Su Chaner's masterpiece.
Kou Ji didn't expect that the wise Su Chan'er would have such a childish side.
He also didn't expect that the thin and weak boy would just stand there obediently and let Su Chan'er write and draw on his face.
"childish……"
Koji murmured in a low voice.
When Su Chan'er heard this, her pretty face turned red instantly.
Liu Heng saw Su Chaner's embarrassment and came to the rescue: "I think this is quite interesting. I will try it later."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Stop ruining people."
The guys from Wanhualou brought in clean water.
Kou Ji waved to the boy, who timidly walked to him. He helped the boy clear the ink stains on his face.
After the boy wiped his face, Kou Ji chuckled and said, "I heard that you are gifted and can see through the fake paintings I made?"
The boy timidly raised his head and whispered: "Little man...You can't tell by seeing it, you can smell it."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "That means you are gifted...what's your name?"
The boy blinked and looked at Kou Ji timidly without saying anything.
Kou Ji stared at him for a long time, then waved to Liu Heng, "Bring me the body deed."
Liu Heng handed the servant's bond of sale to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji opened it and saw, "Lu Ming... from Qiantang... the youngest son in the family, so he is also called Lu Xiaoyi..."
Judging from the sale deed, Lu Ming was from a poor family with seven brothers. His parents could not afford to raise so many sons, so they sold him to a trafficker.
The deed of sale details Lu Ming's past.
Kou Ji was not surprised at all.
There were many children like Lu Ming who were sold by their parents in the Song Dynasty.
Traffickers often have a clear understanding of their past and write it clearly in the deed of sale.
The reason why human traffickers do this is to let their customers know that they are all from good families.
Liangjiazi knows the basics and can use it with confidence, so it is very popular and the price is high.
