Everyone else thought that the prince had used a new way to steal money this time, but Zhou Dafa's heart sank and he began to sweat again on his forehead.
He had realized that this time the Crown Prince might be serious about it.
Panic is definitely more panic.
Because Zhou Dafa has indeed done a lot of dirty things and exploited people in prison.
After all, Zhou Dafa has been in contact with Chen Ze, and he and Liu Aman can still drink and talk happily while on death row, so they are most likely to hate evil as much as they hate each other.
If they are not the same kind of people, it is impossible to chat together, let alone have such a happy chat.
But fortunately for Zhou Dafa, he is an insider, so there is still a glimmer of hope!
The Qingzhou bureaucrats were quickly led to the school grounds in the hotel.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why.
Not eating?
The location has been changed to the school grounds! ?
When the wind blows here, everything you eat will be dirt.
Unfortunately, there are no tables set up in the school grounds!
What the hell is the prince up to today! ?
"The Crown Prince has arrived!"
When everyone was confused, they suddenly heard a shout. They followed the sound and saw in the distance that Chen Ze was already leading a group of people walking slowly.
The difference is that this time Chen Ze shows his true face.
He was far away and couldn't see clearly, but when he got closer, Song Zhizhang saw Chen Ze's face, and suddenly felt that it was a bit familiar, but without thinking about it, he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, Song Zhizhang, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "
Everyone behind him saluted.
"Song Zhizhang, your memory... is really good."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is so complimentary that your subordinate's memory is actually not very good."
"..."
Chen Ze didn't expect Song Zhizhang to have no reaction at all.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Chen Ze couldn't help but clicked his tongue and turned to look at the master next to Song Zhizhang: "Counsellor Wu, how good is your memory?"
"His Royal Highness, I remember my humble duty... remember... remember..."
The master raised his head and saw Chen Ze's appearance clearly, and he seemed familiar.
Suddenly, something exploded in his mind, and his voice immediately started to tremble.
"It seems that you have a good memory..." Chen Ze said lightly: "We are old acquaintances..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the master fell to his knees on the ground with a pop.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!!"
This kneeling immediately stunned everyone!
What, what’s going on! ?
As a result, as soon as the master knelt down, Zhou Dafa fell to his knees with a pop without saying a word. He did not dare to speak and knelt silently.
The other bureaucrats were confused for a moment, but when they saw the situation, they subconsciously softened their knees and knelt down one after another.
The atmosphere has been heightened here. Although I don't know what the situation is, it is obviously inappropriate not to kneel.
Song Zhizhang was also confused, but he knelt down and asked the master beside him in a low voice: "What happened? When did you offend the prince?"
"..."
The master did not dare to raise his head and his voice trembled: "The wanted criminal wanted by Guan Pinghou."
"..."
The words were like thunder, and Song Zhizhang's mind went blank in an instant.
the wanted! ?
No wonder it looks familiar, I saw it in the lobby that day...
"Shi...His Royal Highness, Xiaguan...Xiaguan was just forced to do nothing. This matter has nothing to do with Xianguan. It was all forced by Guan Pinghou!"
But he saw that Chen Ze had already slowly turned towards Song Zhizhang and said: "I know that Song Fu Ling has always been an honest official, passionate and devoted to the country and the people. Under your governance, Qingzhou has prospered and prospered, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, After all, the Marquis Guan Ping is a Marquis, and he has the support of the Wu family behind him. For the sake of the people, the Song government has to compromise, and this palace can understand it."
"Moreover, I was indeed a little impulsive. That day in Zuimanlou, I did gather a crowd to fight, beat Li Qin, and robbed Li Qin of two hundred and forty taels of silver. I did this in broad daylight. It is indeed wrong for people to commit crimes.”
The group of bureaucrats kneeling on the ground were stunned.
Chen Ze's attitude... Why did he think about it himself? ?
Aren't you going to ask questions?
Why did he defend Song Zhizhang in turn?
Zhou Dafa was also confused and didn't understand at all.
Could it be...he had mistaken the wrong person! ?
"Song Mansion Order, get up quickly!" Chen Ze waved his hand again: "You have worked really hard for so many years!"
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan is guilty, guilty..."
"You were forced to do that, I know that."
Song Zhizhang's cerebellum is about to shrink now.
Chen Ze didn't have any yin and yang aura at all, and there was no hint of sarcasm in his words. He even... seemed quite sincere.
"Everyone, please get up! After all, the situation in Qingzhou is complicated. There are many powerful people with prominent family backgrounds. I know that it is not easy to offend you. Otherwise, whether it is promoting government affairs or maintaining people's livelihood, if these powerful people block or cause harm, it will not be done at all. Nothing can be done.”
"You... are all good officials for the people! Thank you for your hard work."
"..."
No one dared to say anything for a while.
Really, they don't know how to deal with this situation at the moment.
How come you come up and praise me! ?
Then I saw Chen Ze slowly lifting Song Zhizhang up with his hands, and said righteously: "But don't worry, from now on, our palace will officially take over Qingzhou, and we will never let you be wronged."
"Ah...yes, yes."
"The Song Dynasty magistrate and all of you are good officials for the people. Upright officials must be willing to go through fire and water for the people."
Song Zhizhang hurriedly responded: "Of course, for the sake of the people, we have no choice but to go down mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"The same goes for humble positions."
The people behind him naturally responded one after another.
At this juncture, it is impossible for anyone to say that I am not serving the people as an official.
"Okay, okay! You are all the pillars of my great Chu!" Chen Ze pretended to be excited and said: "Get up, get up, now there is a very important and arduous task for you."
While he was talking, someone came behind him with a thick stack of letters of appointment.
Chen Ze picked up the first letter of appointment and handed it to Song Zhizhang.
Song Zhizhang opened it with a puzzled look, and his whole expression suddenly froze.
Chen Ze appointed Song Zhizhang as the special ambassador to Qingzhou in the name of the royal palace. He was required to stay at the quarry in Bali Township, Fengxi County, Qingzhou for five years to inspect the conditions of the quarry, understand the local people's livelihood and conditions, and proactively report the situation to Qingzhou every month. There was no special situation. Under certain circumstances, he was not allowed to leave the defense without authorization, and all government affairs in Qingzhou were temporarily managed by the crown prince.
To a certain extent, it is equivalent to sending him directly to the quarry.
"Your Majesty, this..."
When Song Zhizhang was about to speak, Chen Ze quickly pressed down the letter of appointment in his hand and whispered: "Song Zhizhang, this palace is not discussing with you now, but is here to inform you."
"..."
With that said, Chen Ze whispered directly into Song Zhizhang's ear: "Seeing that you gave me a lot of gifts on my birthday, I won't bother with you about your wanted me and give it back to you. A way to survive.”
"My father asked me to take charge of Qingzhou just to rectify Qingzhou, otherwise why would I be sent here? If he lets him know about your corruption and perversion of the law, no one will survive, and everyone will have their heads removed, their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated!"
"Even if your mentor Li Fu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, comes, he can't save you!"
"I am asking you to leave Qingzhou now, but I will save your life!"
"Now Bai Hupao has gone to help you move. I have packed all the things that need to be packed for you. Your family will also go with you. As for your belongings, I will leave you a share and settle down first when you get there. I will take care of the rest. Keep it, and I will send someone to deliver your monthly salary to you."
"Your life and official position are still there. After I leave Qingzhou, the limelight has almost passed. You can come back and continue to serve as your Qingzhou government official. Do you understand?"
"Yes Yes!"
