In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, May Yiwei (the third day of the lunar month).
The Yanhe Hall is the next hall to listen to politics.
The case of Wu Juhou on Jingdong Road, which Yushitai and Dali Temple had been trying for a month, was finally concluded today.
Because Wu Juhou had already been punished, in accordance with the principle of no double punishment for one crime, he only ordered a senior official to reprimand and admonish Luzhou.
However, he was still allowed to resign as usual before taking office in Luzhou.
There is no doubt that the Empress Dowager raised his hand.
After all, Wu Juhou has been on trial for almost a month. After repeated searches, the censors even dug up the cellar of the Wu family, but they could not find any evidence of corruption on his part!
He is not as honest as a scholar-official!
He had not touched much of the minister's money in Jingdong Dulu's account book.
Last year, only 500 guan of minister's money was spent to entertain passing officials.
To control an important minister, spend 500 guan of minister's money a year? !
Therefore, after this incident spread, some people even began to feel sorry for it.
At that time, a certain grand master named Wen hosted a banquet in the snow in Chengdu Mansion and ate more than this much in one meal! ?
'Old Wu Dun was just loyal to the king. What was wrong with him? 'This is the defense of New Party ministers.
"If Mr. Wu Dun can change his situation, he will be a capable official." This is what a certain Xiangong named Han said in private.
And with the interrogation of Yushitai.
In the Jingdong Road Transportation Department, the other two Beike officials did not find any major problems.
Lu Gongya and Huo Xiang's family property situation is that of an ordinary scholar-bureaucrat.
Neither luxurious nor shabby.
At least that's what the censors who went to investigate said.
Therefore, the emperor served as a doctor, promoted the Jingdong Road to protect the horses, and also protected Huo Xiang, who knew Mizhou.
He was not even demoted to the rank of official, and he was demoted to death!
It was even less severe than the punishment of Teng Zijing being demoted to Baling County!
Another senior official involved in the case, Shen Xiyan, the deputy transport envoy of Jingdong Road, even just admonished him on the spot and ordered him to serve his crime, but he still remained in his original position!
Shen Xiyan is Wu Juhou's deputy!
But he didn't even give him a bronze penalty or a penalty, just a few mild admonitions - are you sure it's not praise?
All this declares that the government and the opposition - both palaces also like money.
Just be careful how you make money!
Don't make it so big, don't make it end badly for the two palaces!
The conclusion of Wu Juhou's case also means that Li's case will also be concluded.
From the current point of view, although Li Ding's problems have been found out a lot.
But the big problem has not been found yet.
Therefore, it is really troublesome to deal with it.
After all, we can't use the accusation of "a traitor and a minister who is wildly rebellious, making irresponsible remarks about the father and son of the Tian family, and being treasonous and unethical".
That’s very impressive of him!
Therefore, Yushitai must continue to investigate, starting from the literal and moral aspects.
No matter what, we have to find out Li Ding's crime of "discussing government affairs and slandering national policies".
If it doesn't work, there will be several charges of corruption, bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain.
In short, Li Ding has decided that he will either sing 'Yingzhou welcomes you' or 'Fangzhou welcomes you'.
There is only one or a few suitable charges missing.
After dealing with the Jingdong matter, the courtiers asked for resolution of the fire in Gongyuan in February this year.
Upon hearing this, both the Queen Mother Xiang and the Queen Mother fell silent.
After a long time, he said to the Queen Mother: "The Gongyuan was burned down, and unfortunately Zishan Hall was burned to death..."
"This matter concerns the officials, so let's ask the officials to make a decision!"
The Empress Dowager also said: "As a posthumous gift to the court official Chen Zhifang, to the court San Lang Ma Ximeng, they are both disciples of the officials. We should let the officials make the decision!"
As a result, all the ministers were shocked.
The previous young master came to the throne, but before taking office, he didn't even have room to speak in the court meeting!
And now, this young master has only been on the throne for two months, and both palaces are asking him to intervene in military and state affairs in public.
Although this matter is indeed closely related to the young master!
But this is too exaggerated, right?
Zhao Xu looked at the ministers and said softly: "Whatever the story is, deal with it how you want it to be dealt with!"
This made everyone involved breathe a sigh of relief.
In particular, brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian immediately came out to express their gratitude.
Other relevant ministers also came out to express their thanks.
Cai Jing had the power to know the Kaifeng Mansion - he was not in a good position to put out the fire and was the first to suffer.
And Cai Bian is the responsible person after Li Ding, Quanzhi Gongju.
Zhao Xu was also able to see the brothers who would later become enemies for the first time after returning to his youth.
His eyes swept over Cai Jing and Cai Bian.
Cai Jing is only thirty-eight years old this year. He is handsome and tall. He looks very comfortable. He doesn't look like a grand master who will dominate the world in the future.
As for Cai Bian, he is only thirty-seven years old. He is slightly shorter and thinner than Cai Jing, with a lighter beard and a gentle appearance.
Zhao Xu withdrew his gaze from the brother and added: "The guilty minister Li Ding, the crime must not be taken lightly!"
The ministers bowed collectively.
Many people were stunned.
"I remember it now..." Some people's livers and gallbladders were trembling.
Aren’t children supposed to completely forget what happened yesterday?
However, the young master remembered Li Ding until now, and he was still in the court, and he remembered that Li Ding was also the one responsible for the fire in Gongyuan!
More specifically: Don’t be lenient!
this is too scary!
So, when the ministers stood up, those who had once been a little more in awe of the young master who rarely spoke and was always quiet on the throne.
No one dared to treat the quiet young master as a child anymore.
Because he holds a grudge!
Because he has a good memory!
…
After the court meeting, the two palaces took Zhao Xu back to Baoci Palace.
The maids brought the prepared drinks, and Zhao Xu still drank the licorice soup.
At this time, the Empress Dowager suddenly took out two memorials, showed them to Zhao Xu, and asked: "Sixth Brother, Yang Wanghao and Cao Wangfan all said that they would like to thank Sixth Brother and allow them to go to court to pay homage without recognition. What grace!"
When Zhao Xu heard this, he was shocked and said: "Why do the two uncles want to say goodbye?"
"King Yang said that praise and worship are in vain, and the country's important ministers and elders cannot be..." The Queen Mother asked tentatively: "That's why he refused to accept Sixth Brother's grace!"
Zhao Xu immediately replied: "The two uncles are brothers of my father and the emperor. They are my uncles, the son of my mother-in-law. Why can't I enjoy this grace?!"
"I also ask my mother-in-law to invite the two uncles to the palace tomorrow. I want to talk to the two uncles about this in person!"
"In addition..." Zhao Xu looked into the eyes of the Empress Dowager and asked, "Mother, my grandson heard that the princes of the two uncles have not yet been crowned?"
The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Both uncles declined the favor from the court. They both said that they would wait until the sixth brother grows up to take charge of the government, and then give favors to a few princes!"
"How is this possible?" Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "My grandson will order you to show favor to all the kings and brothers!"
"And on the basis of the ancestral system, I will give you one more level for all the kings!"
The Empress Dowager then laughed and said to the Empress Dowager: "The officials are benevolent and filial, and it is really a blessing for the country to be close to the clan!"
The last bit of worry in my heart was let go.
Now it seems that Sixth Brother is indeed a pure, kind and benevolent sage!
That Li Ding just didn't know how to live or die and got into trouble!
Note: Wu Juhou, Shen Xiyan, Huo Xiang, and Lu Gongya did handle this in historical facts!
Especially Shen Xiyan, not even a hair fell out!
Therefore, never use the current three views to apply the ancient three views!
