"Is there such a thing?"
After Xu Ji finished speaking, Zhao Hong couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Xu Ji and Xu Liang in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
Sanctimonious, I am talking about these officials with wide robes and sleeves.
"Your Majesty, every word of this servant is true. If there is even half a lie, there will be five thunders from heaven!"
Xu Ji said firmly, for fear that Zhao Hong would not believe it.
"Your Majesty, I have already checked and it is true that Xu Ji did not lie!"
Xu Liang followed Xu Ji and confirmed Xu Ji's words.
"His Majesty decreed that all official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division should be changed to good status. Even if Gao Dingzi personally intervened, the Lin'an Mansion Yamen kept pushing back. Wu Jing and Chen Xian, the chief registrar of Qiantang, were at odds with each other. There were many dirty things between the two of them. Chen Xian and Xu At the public banquet, Xu refused to serve Wu Jing and other officials, so Wu Jing had someone hit Xu ten times with a killing stick, tattoo the word "Chen Xian" on Xu's eyebrows, and sent her to Leizhou is a slave. Leizhou traveled thousands of miles to a barren land and narrowly escaped death, so..."
Xu Liang was annotating Xu Ji's words and saw that Zhao Hong's face was getting uglier and his voice was getting softer and softer.
By obstructing the New Deal and bullying the weak, Wu Jing has touched Zhao Hong's rebellion.
"When did this happen? Was it just now?"
Zhao Hong's face was dark, and his anger was rising.
How could Wu Jing, the fair and honest Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, do such a dishonorable thing?
"Back to Your Majesty, it was last October. Because Mr. Chen has been running things up and down and dealing with things left and right, it is only now that he is assigned to the Xu family. The official prostitutes in Lin'an Prefecture were just completed a year ago."
Xu Liang spoke resolutely and replied solemnly.
These matters were related to the New Deal, and he did not dare to hide them at all.
"Last October? Sure enough!"
Zhao Hong sneered and asked softly.
"How could it be last October? What on earth do they want to do? Are they going to be a stumbling block to the New Deal?"
Liangzhe Road implemented a new policy to allow official prostitutes to change their status to good ones, which started in March last year. Lin'an Prefecture dares to delay until the end of the year? Besides, since the decree that the prostitutes should be replaced by good ones had spread throughout the world, why did Wu Jing dare to deal with the Xu family so harshly?
Think about it, his father-in-law Zhou Jiacheng was hanging out with women, and he was also an official prostitute who had just quit his citizenship. It seems that Wu Jing was bold enough to obstruct the implementation of the New Deal, and the evidence of committing crimes was conclusive.
Wu Jing, the dignified governor of Lin'an and an important minister of the country, how could he do such a dirty and despicable thing just to vent his personal anger?
Zhou Ping reported to the Lin'an government that the implementation of the New Deal was both positive and negative, and he was still doubtful. Now it seems that he underestimated human nature. Wu Jing not only obstructed the New Deal, but also intensified his efforts and did such an outrageous thing.
"Your Majesty, fortunately, the conversion of official prostitutes into good status has been completed, and the atmosphere of the officialdom has taken on a new look. Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry, let's look forward."
Xu Liang comforted in a low voice, Zhao Hong nodded slightly, looked at Xu Ji, and his voice became much gentler.
"Xu Ji, you can come today, which shows that you value love and justice, and I am very pleased. Have you demobilized now?"
Zhao Hong looked gentle and asked Xu Ji.
Xu Ji attaches great importance to love and justice, and is willing to take risks to save her own sister. Compared with those ruthless and unjust scholar-bureaucrats like Wu Jing, she is truly incomparable.
"Your Majesty, this servant has been deregistered. I hope that your Majesty will ignore the past grudges and save my sister!"
Zhao Hong's gentle attitude made Xu Ji feel more at ease.
It seems that Zhao Hong still cares about friendship. As long as he says a word, the Xu family will most likely escape.
"Don't worry. Xu Ji, you go back first and wait for the good news at home. I will do my best to make your sister and Mr. Chen realize their long-cherished wish."
Zhao Hong spoke softly. In order to save the Xu family, Chen Xian ran up and down and lost his entire family. It can be seen that he is a kind man and he deserves to be protected by Xu family. These two people like each other and can be matched.
Xu Ji is a beauty, then her sister...
Zhao Hong was calm and composed, and Xu Ji immediately felt relieved.
The king of a country, Jinkou Yuyan, her sister should be saved.
After taking a careful look, she noticed that Zhao Hong had a gentle face. Xu Ji mustered up her courage and said boldly:
"Your Majesty, if this slave is brave, please let me stay with Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty."
"Stay? No, no, no!"
Zhao Hong quickly waved his hand, his little thoughts just now disappeared.
Whether it was true or false, he couldn't accept it, and his body couldn't bear it.
"Xu Ji, I have enough women around me. I will give you a sum of money. You should find a good family to marry and live a good life."
Now that you've gone out, why bother coming back?
"Does Your Majesty dislike Xu Ji? No one else has ever touched Xu Ji's body except Your Majesty!"
Xu Ji blushed and said, making Zhao Hong feel lost. After a long time, he said cruelly:
"Xu Ji, I thank you for your kindness. But to be honest, the harem is not a good place. It is not suitable for you because of intrigues and intrigues. You are still young, so it is better to find a good person than staying here."
Zhao Hong made up his mind and confided in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I have a slave with you. Who dares to ask for a slave like the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"
Although Xu Ji was disappointed that the leftover rice was not hot enough, she finally felt enlightened.
With Zhao Hong's intervention, her sister was finally saved.
"Your Majesty, this servant will leave."
Xu Ji left sadly, but her grace remained the same. Zhao Hong finally held back and did not ask her to come back.
I have a lot of women, but they don’t seem to be economical lamps. I can’t have more women, and I can’t make them any more messy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Xu Liang whispered, arousing Zhao Hong who was in deep thought.
One night and a hundred days of grace between husband and wife. It seems that the emperor is a lover, soft-hearted, and still reluctant to let go of his old friend.
"Did you find anything else at Wu Jing's place?"
Zhao Hongru woke up from the dream and returned to the topic, his face suddenly darkened.
Wu Jing could not keep Zhou Ping's secret report, Xu Liang's secret investigation and Xu Ji's report.
"Back to Your Majesty, although Wu Jing has not found anything serious, he is a self-indulgent man and has entangled with several women. Some of them are married women. Although their husbands know about it, they can only swallow their anger."
"What? He still has this hobby?"
Xu Liang's report made Zhao Hong stunned for a while.
This high-ranking official in the imperial court is a dignified person, but unexpectedly, he is also a greedy cat who prefers married women and has a very strong taste.
"Your Majesty, if we dig deeper, Wu Jing will definitely have other clues. But Your Majesty is about to leave for the northwest. Time is running out, so I'm afraid I can only find this."
Xu Liang replied softly.
As a "cheating" married woman, Wu Jing may find it difficult to turn over.
Not to mention, there are obstructions to the implementation of the New Deal, and they are doing so in disguise.
"Just delaying the reform of prostitutes and obstructing the New Deal is enough to take away his hat. Not to mention these dirty materials. These polite scum really disappoint me!"
Zhao Hong was disappointed and heavy in his heart.
"There are probably other people who have committed crimes."
Xu Liang came here specially, I am afraid there is more than one Wu Jing.
"Your Majesty, as well as the censor Zhongcheng Chen Duanchang, the matter is not trivial, enough to clarify the canonical punishment."
"Chen Duanchang?"
Zhao Hong was shocked again.
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, several people's butts were clean.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial and accusation about the violation of the law by the censor Zhongcheng Chen Duan. Zeng Shiyuan, the magistrate of Qiantang County, was imprisoned for beating a suspect to death with severe torture and corruption. In order to reduce his sentence for meritorious service, he confessed that when the censor Zhongcheng Chen Duan was the judge of Dali Temple, he accepted He paid a bribe of 30,000 yuan, and he was exonerated. In addition, it was found that Chen Duan worked for Li Shou, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, and bribed a house worth a lot of money, as well as three beautiful ladies and three valuable calligraphy and paintings."
After Xu Liang finished speaking, he handed over a stack of "criminal evidence".
"Mei Ji and the three of them are all in their sixties, can they bear it?"
Zhao Hong took a few glances and threw the "criminal evidence" on the table.
It's really hopeless.
"Your Majesty, Liu Bi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is an upright person, but he is a harsh official and has tortured the people to death. There are also several other officials, such as Ge Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty's use of troops in the northwest and fan the flames."
"This old cunning guy, his position should have been replaced long ago!"
Zhao Hong snorted coldly and continued to ask:
"How are the ruling ministers Zhen Dexiu and Xue Ji? Are they okay?"
If all the ministers who participated in the political affairs also suffered, there would really be no good people in Hongdong County.
Chen Duanchang is sanctimonious, and his crime is not just corruption, but violation of the law. Liu Bi tortured people to death for complex reasons. He was not corrupt and could be tolerated.
As for Ge Hong, the position of the Minister of Punishment is fundamental, and this old man cannot be allowed to mess around anymore.
"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the anti-corruption law, the truth and others have behaved well. Although they have eaten and drank, and received some gifts, they are not valuable. I have made a list in the memorial, and your Majesty can take a look."
Xu Liang handed over the memorial. Zhao Hong glanced at it a few times and closed it gently.
"Xu Liang, please sort out all the cases of officials committing crimes. Several ministers, such as Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Duan, Lin'an Prefecture Yin Wu Jing, Yushi Tang Lin, etc., have all written memorials separately. I will go to court early tomorrow. To be received.”
At this point, the only solution is to fight fire with fire.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of this matter tomorrow!"
Xu Liang was secretly surprised and quickly nodded to accept the order.
At this time, the court was about to become turbulent.
"In addition, you should handle Xu's case in person. Don't let Xu travel first. Don't let anyone get into trouble."
Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment and continued:
"This matter should be handled privately, so as not to alert others."
Since the Lord and the faction are jumping up and down, don't blame him for being rude.
"Your Majesty, Xu Ji wanted to stay, but she never lost her virginity. She was once forced to jump into a lake, which shows how strong she is. Why did you let her go?"
Xu Liang asked in surprise.
It seems that Xu Ji wants to stay. Zhao Hong doesn’t want to rekindle an old relationship?
"Do you really want to keep her? The harem is a mess, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everyone has their own thoughts. She should have a better life."
Zhao Hong shook his head.
Being the emperor's woman is not that easy. Just look at the timidity of Zhou Xiuniang’s family. The common people's husbands and wives are much better than this.
Not to mention, if Yang Yi and Li Weiming don't deal with each other, they will be in a hurry, so don't be too lively.
Having said that, if he doesn't deal with these demons and monsters in the court, how can he go on an expedition with peace of mind?
