In the east of Anyi City, there is an ordinary residence.
This is the residence of Tian Qin, the imperial censor, who always kept a low profile as an official. Even as the second-in-command of the Yushitai, he never impeaches people at will. He has always been a good person in the Yushitai. Tian Qin was not an important minister in the court, but he was not bad either.
Anyway, the family lives in Anyi, and their life is not bad, neither good nor bad.
In particular, Tian Qin's wife is virtuous and virtuous. Although his son is not very old, he has been filial and talented since he was a child. My old mother is still at home and in good health.
It's good to have a harmonious family.
This is the life Tian Qin pursues.
Tian Qin comes home on time every day, and even when he is outside, he does not have much social activities.
When Tian Qin returned home today, the heavy rain had turned into light rain, and the weather was still gloomy. In the past, the sun was shining brightly and it got dark late. It got dark early today. At dinner time, Tian Qin's wife came to inform him of dinner. After searching around, her son Tian Guang was not found.
People seem to be missing.
At this time, Tian Qin and everyone in his family were panicked.
The Tian family has been passed down to Tian Guang for four generations, so once Tian Guang disappeared, everything in the family was in chaos. I searched and searched, but couldn't find anyone. Moreover, in the afternoon, Tian Guang was still playing in the house and never went out.
Why did it suddenly disappear?
When Tian Qin was looking around, the servant of the house hurriedly came to Tian Qin and said solemnly: "Master, the concierge just sent back a letter, saying that it was sent by someone. Please check it. You must open it yourself." Check it out."
Tian Qin's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be related to the disappearance of his son Tian Guang?
Tian Qin felt anxious and quickly opened the letter. There was not just one piece of paper inside, but two or three pieces of paper. The beginning of the letter is to say that Tian Qin's son Tian Guang has been taken away and is safe for the time being without any problems.
Tian Qin continued to look down, and the follow-up was about Xu Changjie's issues. On the one hand, Xu Changjie's handling of the Taoist sect caused great resentment among the Taoist sect. On the other hand, it was the Xu family in Runan that caused harm to the people in the local area, and every crime involved was clearly recorded.
Finally, Tian Qin was asked to impeach Xu Changjie. As long as Xu Changjie was dismissed from office, Tian Qin's son Tian Guang would naturally come back.
If it fails, Tian Guang will die.
Tian Qin's face turned completely gloomy, and he directly asked Sicong at home to stop looking. Tian Qin's mother and wife came, looking concerned. Tian Qin's mother's hair was gray and her eyes were even more anxious as she asked, "Where is my good grandson?"
Tian Qin put a smile on his face and replied: "Don't worry, mother, he is Guang'er's friend and invited him to be a guest. Previously, he had no intention of spending the night, so he left the house without saying a word. He was kindly invited, so Guang'er wanted to Stay, I won’t be able to come back until tomorrow night, I’ve sent you a special letter.”
Tian Qin's mother was relieved after hearing this. She had no doubts because her son had always been filial and never lied. She happily left with her daughter-in-law.
Tian Qin also breathed a sigh of relief.
My son was kidnapped and I couldn't tell him the news. Once spoken out, on the one hand, the mother cannot hold on, and on the other hand, if the news leaks out, it will cause problems.
For the time being, it can only be kept secret.
Tian Qin took the letter and went straight back to the study. As night falls, the oil lamp is already lit in the study.
The lights flickered, adding a chill to the night.
Tian Qin sighed in his heart. He could become the second-in-command of the Yushitai and hold the position of Zhongcheng. He was not a stupid person.
He knew very well that the current operation of the court was entirely dependent on Xu Changjie. Now someone is threatening to deal with Xu Changjie.
Obviously, it was to deal with Xia Guo.
During the day, there was a turmoil in Anyi City. First, the grain in Anpingcang was hollowed out by Xu Xianzong, King Ning and King Lu and sold to people in Da Qin. Immediately afterwards, Xu Xianzong colluded with the Qin people and sold the food sent to the front line to Qin, allowing the Qin people to loot the army's food.
This series of means was caused by the greed and excess of Xu Xianzong, King Ning and King Lu, but it was mostly done by the people of Qin.
These methods are also used to deal with Xu Changjie.
The emperor's final decision was to let Xu Changjie serve his crime. Now he has received the news that he wants to go one step further and overthrow Xu Changjie completely.
Tian Qin thought for a while, finally took a deep breath and made a decision.
He wanted to impeach Xu Changjie. On the one hand, the two sides had personal grudges. On the other hand, he was doing it for his son.
He is not a kind person.
He just wants to take care of his family.
Tian Qin thought about it and found that the content mentioned in the letter was not enough, so he left the mansion overnight and went to the Tianshi Mansion in Anyi City.
Li Chongfu cultivated Taoism and established a Taoist master to manage the Taoist affairs.
The leader of the Taoist sect of this generation is named Zhang Yuanqing, who was conferred the title of Daoxuan Da Zhenren by Li Chongfu. It's just that Zhang Yuanqing's life was difficult during this period, because Xu Changjie had been suppressing Taoist sects, which greatly affected the Taoist sects in Anyi and even many Taoist temples in Xia Kingdom.
People from these Taoist temples expressed their complaints to Zhang Yuanqing, hoping that Zhang Yuanqing would come forward to respond to the emperor.
Locally, Taoist sects are all against Xu Changjie.
Xu Changjie acted tough, but Zhang Yuanqing was still waiting and watching, and never took any action.
Tian Qin came to Zhang's house to visit, and Zhang Yuanqing met him in the study. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Why did Tian Yushi want to come to Lao Dao today?"
Tian Qin is the censor Zhongcheng.
Zhang Yuanqing is the great master of the Taoist sect and the revered Celestial Master of the Taoist sect. There is actually no contact between the two parties.
Tian Qin came to visit late at night, obviously something was wrong.
Tian Qin said slowly: "I came here overnight and heard a lot of news. Taoist sects have been suppressed in various places. Many Taoist sects have been affected because of the influence on the government, and some even died tragically. Regarding this matter, Tian wants to know more."
"Gee, this is great."
Zhang Yuanqing thought in his mind and answered with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't care what Tian Qin's intentions were. The final result was that Tian Qin received a question from the Taoist sect and reported it to the emperor, which was helpful to the Taoist sect.
that's enough!
Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "Tian Yushi, our Taoist sect is really miserable now. Xu Changjie came to power indiscriminately and beat all the Taoist disciples to death with one stroke. To this day, as many as tens of thousands of people have been punished. , affecting the Taoist sects of the entire Xia Kingdom. There are even many real people who died. Let me explain the specific situation one by one. "
Tian Qin smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly and I will write it down slowly."
He asked Zhang Yuanqing to get pen and ink. Zhang Yuanqing spoke slowly and Tian Qin recorded slowly. Various aspects such as the salary enjoyed by the Taoist sect, the staffing of the Taoist sect, the residence of the Taoist temple, and the belief of the Taoist sect are all explained.
This means being suppressed on all fronts.
Tian Qin listened and recorded them one by one. After returning these materials, he sorted them out before he could impeach Xu Changjie at the court meeting.
To impeach, you must have something to say.
If you can't do this, you can't impeach.
It was late in the morning before Tian Qin finished recording the information. He rubbed his sore wrists, put away all the information, stood up and said, "Master Zhang, thank you very much."
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and said solemnly: "It is the old Taoist who wants to thank Tian Yushi. He just wants to make an enemy of Xu Changjie. Tian Yushi should be careful."
"Farewell!"
Tian Qin bowed and turned to leave.
He returned to his residence and continued to copy the information and write it into a memorial. At the same time, he wanted to write it down. Tian Qin slept for less than two hours tonight. He left his residence before dawn in the morning and headed for the imperial city.
There is a big court meeting today.
Although the emperor was addicted to Taoism, he still attended the monthly court meetings.
This is Tian Qin’s opportunity.
Tian Qin stood in the crowd without saying a word, never spoke, and did not pay attention to the civil and military officials who arrived around him. When the time came, the gate of the imperial city opened, and the civil and military officials arranged themselves according to their positions, and entered the palace hall one by one to stand.
All the officials were in place, and Li Chongfu, dressed in dragon robes and crown clothes, entered the main hall and sat down.
All the officials came to the meeting and saluted. Zhao Yuan, the chief internal officer, stood aside and said loudly: "If there is something to do, we will start to act, but if there is nothing to do, we will withdraw from the court."
The voice was slightly high-pitched, echoing in the hall.
Everyone heard it clearly.
After Zhao Yuan's voice fell, officials one after another stood up to report the matter.
This time, almost two quarters of an hour.
Tian Qin still stood in the main hall and was not in a hurry to stand up. After Xu Changjie reported the matter, the number of people who came forward decreased and the main hall began to become silent. At this moment, Tian Qin shook his robe and stepped out.
He bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial. I want to impeach Xu Changjie, the Minister of Civil Affairs."
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the main hall.
All the officials from Xia Kingdom looked over, with shocked expressions on their faces.
Impeach Xu Changjie!
Doing so is tantamount to touching the tiger's butt.
Tian Qin is so brave.
