In the past, Wen Xunpeng had only heard that Zhang Dai was dismissed from office and imprisoned, and that he was a strong-willed man. But the specific reasons for his dismissal and imprisonment were because Zhang Dai was only a moderate official, so he only heard about it once. , not very clear.
After listening to Jian Qu's explanation at this moment, everyone felt that this person was special among all officials.
With such a temperament, if he goes to investigate the affairs of Qidacang with him, big problems may arise.
In an instant, Wen Xunpeng had a clear understanding and looked at Su Ziji. Seeing his indifferent expression, his heart trembled: "My lord, I am afraid that I have already figured out the key to this."
Hearing that Jian Qu was worried about this matter, he continued: "Because he did not open a position according to the order, he was directly escorted back to Beijing and thrown into the sky prison. He was held in the sky prison for half a year before he was released."
"The strange thing is that even though he was demoted three levels in a row, he was not severely punished. Taizu also said that he prayed for the people and was a good official."
Regardless of whether Taizu did it to achieve a good story as a monarch or for other reasons, Zhang Dai was imprisoned for half a year, but he became famous when he came out.
However, not long after he was released from prison, Taizu passed away, and Zhang Dai was transferred to be a local official. As a result, he had a dispute with his colleagues and got into trouble, and was finally dismissed from office.
All in all, this person does have quite a lot of experience. He was dismissed from office twice and imprisoned once.
"This dismissal lasted for a long time, and it took seven years for his reinstatement."
"In the future, there will be no one to support me, and no one will specifically suppress me. I just gained some qualifications, and now I am a full-fledged censor of the fifth rank."
However, even if he was a little worried that this person might become a deputy envoy, Jian Qu still wanted to say something fair for him: "Although Zhang Dai is not very talented among the courtiers, and his popularity is even worse, after all, what happened these few times is not good in the eyes of others." He came here because he is troublesome."
"But this person is really not someone who is just trying to gain fame. He is truly sincere. During the six months in jail, no one except his family could avoid him. I heard that the life was extremely difficult, but he always maintained his integrity."
"After being dismissed from office, he has never been reinstated. In the past seven years, he has never taken the initiative to cling to any powerful person."
"Both the King of Qi and the King of Shu had recruited him privately, but they never wavered. It was precisely because of this that although he was talented, no one interceded for him, and he did not rise up until the emperor remembered."
"My lord, this person can be said to be pure and upright, and he may be able to be recruited to enhance his reputation."
As soon as he said this, Wen Xunpeng sneered, and Jian Qu couldn't help but be surprised: "Mr. Wen, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
"Mr. Jane, let's argue one by one."
"First of all, you said that this person is not a person seeking fame and reputation. I have a slight objection. I looked at the private files and found that this person became a parent official. When he started a lawsuit, he only had one idea, that is, a lawsuit between a scholar and an official. This person Just a partialist."
"When the people sue the scholars, this person will favor the people."
"If a woman files a lawsuit with a man, he will be partial to women."
"In a word, regardless of right or wrong, we will support whoever is weak. This is so biased. The thugs in the county then gathered together to make false accusations and criticisms, and then carried them out. They occupied the fields and huts for free, and robbed them openly. The discipline and ethics were completely gone."
"Zhang Dai's reputation was also damaged because of this, and his colleagues and superiors had to warn him that everything should be judged according to law and reason. Not only did this person not change, he even claimed to be honest and insulted the counties. The counties couldn't bear it, so they appealed to the court. , remove this person!"
"This person, in the name of being honest, is arrogant and violent. He is neither humane nor respecting the laws of the country. He is actually a thief of the country!"
"You said Zhang Dai was perverse. I admit that being a violent traitor to the country is too much." Jian Quben was thoughtful, but after hearing this comment, it hurt his heart and he couldn't help but blush.
"Zhang Dai Zhiqing seems to be cheating, but he has ransacked his house several times, and sincerely has no money left. New officials have arrived, old friends have been promoted, and gifts and money are always exchanged during the New Year."
"As long as the amount is not large, it is human nature and the court will not pursue it. However, Zhang Dai returned the gifts one by one, including relatives and friends."
"As for the public family, they don't even have a penny. At the end of last year, the annual salary of the official department was half a tael more, and Zhang Dai specially sent his old servant to return it. Isn't this just out of nature?"
Wen Xunpeng shook his head repeatedly, with an indescribable smile on his face, which seemed to be similar to Su Ziji's expression just now. Seeing that Jian Qu was still confused, he bent his fingers and extended one of his fingers.
“If people want to live their lives in peace, they must rely on something.”
"Those who are talented rely on talents, and those who are not talented rely on others."
"There are four so-called people who rely on people. There are those who are good at using others, those who are good at dancing, those who flatter and flatter people, and finally, those who maintain their integrity."
"I said that Zhang Dai is a national traitor, which may be a bit extreme, but I can say that this person is proud of frost and snow but cannot be a pillar, but it is true."
"Look carefully, he has been an official all his life and has a reputation all over the world. But if you look closely, what real things have he done?"
"Not a thing!"
"He has no actual political achievements, and he is also arrogant, violent and inhumane. It can be said that he has offended many people because he only relies on his reputation of being honest."
"As long as Zhang Dai dares to accept a penny and dares to covet a penny, the three-foot national law is designed for him. Not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will even die without a burial place. How can he dare to take an extra penny?"
Jian Qu felt disgusted when he said these heart-wrenching words. He opened his mouth to speak, but heard Wen Xunpeng ask: "We all insist on these things, and it is difficult to convince them, but I have a question."
"The emperor's ill will towards the lord has been very obvious in the imperial examination case, but why did he send the lord to check the granary now, and why did he specially send Zhang Dai here?"
Wen Xunpeng looked around and sighed and said: "Think about it, Zhang Dai was still investigating the case in Fanyuan County, but he repeatedly ordered him to rush back to the capital. The day he arrived in Beijing was only about seven days away. Do you believe that the emperor has no intentions?"
When talking about Zhang Dai alone, Jian Qu was a hundred times dissatisfied, but when he mentioned this, he froze. Looking around, he saw that Su Ziji frowned a little after hearing these words, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him and stopped. Argumentative heart.
Yes, such a person who may even be annoying to the emperor, no one mentioned or interceded with him, was sent far away to investigate the case, and suddenly he was ordered to return to the capital, and he was a deputy imperial envoy. There was no intention, and he was dead. Do not believe.
As he thought about it, he suddenly felt a chill. He couldn't help but tremble, and his face became a little pale. He murmured for a while: "You mean, Zhang Dai is already the emperor's man, and he wants to do harm to the lord?"
"But my lord does not accept corruption or bribery. This time I went to check the seven warehouses and I was more cautious. How could Zhang Dai frame my lord?"
"And Yu Lufang Xi, even if these two people have received favor from the emperor, they are the lord's best friends and they cannot help the emperor to harm the lord."
At least it is impossible to make these two people switch sides just by giving favors in a short period of time, and Yu Lu Fang Xi's character is not such a person.
"Alas, Zhang Dai is not a member of the emperor, and Yu Lufang Xi is not even one."
"But the king can use tricks, so why does he need a villain to do bad things?"
Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, Wen Xunpeng bowed to Su Ziji, turned his face to the crowd, looked around Zhou Za, and said with a bitter smile: "The villain's bad deeds make it difficult for the carriage to move."
"Your Majesty is a master. This is a three-horse galloping, getting faster and faster until the car crashes and everyone is killed!"
"What?"
Wen Xunpeng's words immediately made the wild Taoist wake up. Yes, he had always vaguely felt that something was wrong before. He vaguely guessed that it was a strategy, but it was a bit hazy. Wen Xunpeng's words were like a gentle tap, directly giving Broken.
"It turns out it's this. Yes, it's three horses galloping, faster and faster, until the car crashes and everyone is killed!"
