It is very naive to discuss whether a political figure is a traitor or a virtuous person. Ding Wei's ability can be said to be eternal, but he has been criticized by the world because of his political speculation. It is true that benevolent people have different opinions when it comes to evaluating him. Liang Chuan has received a lot of favors from him, and it is only because of his protection that he has been so smooth along the way. Repay the favor, and let all the past events go with the wind.
Ding Wei's heart was strong. According to historical records, he lived for another fifteen years after being demoted to Yazhou, and his hair was full of black hair until his death.
After being demoted, many poets complained about themselves, wrote poems and lyrics to clarify their aspirations, used wine to drown their sorrows, criticized current affairs, and became crazy and depressed. Even if they were powerful bosses like Su Shi and Ouyang Xun, they would still have old men to talk to when they were frustrated. Teenagers complain like this.
Ding said no. After he left the center of power, he was completely free, except for Kou Zhun.
Ding said that this man was greedy for money and power, but his purpose in his heart was clearer than anyone else. He wanted to realize his ideals, and justice and passion alone would not work. The existence of justice must be accompanied by evil.
Liang Chuan always felt that Ding Wei was Zhang Ju's official figure. Their experiences had too many similarities. In addition to Ding Wei's methods not being so beautiful, the literati of this era were too powerful and they had absolutely no regard for Ding Wei. No mercy. When Zhang Juzheng was young, everything was still under his control, but Ding Wei's temper was still much worse.
The treasures confiscated from Ding Wei's house. The officials who raided the house wrote heavily on the report: "Unforgettable."
Ding Wei had restrained himself all his life and took nothing with him. All the male servants in his family were exiled to the army, and the female maids were sold to the government for a second time.
No one came to Liang Chuan.
Under Liang Chuan's instruction, Liangjiazhuang conducted a large-scale retreat. Sun Houpu temporarily stayed in the Forbidden City to take care of the business. It was unrealistic to completely abandon such a large investment. If it was not feasible, it would be feasible to let others do it.
Liang Chuan was waiting in the store, waiting for the relevant departments to take him away.
Above the court.
The dead eunuch Lei Yungong was killed. He had offended too many people in the past few months. Whether it was land acquisition or the so-called fire inspection, a large group of people had already sharpened their knives and prepared to sacrifice him to the sky. No one felt at fault for his death.
Ding Wei was demoted and everyone was in panic. Ding Wei ransacked his house and found countless treasures. Those who gave these treasures were the princes. They wished that Ding Wei would immediately commit suicide out of fear of crime, so that no one would be dragged into the trap.
Otherwise, according to Ding's temperament, he will take revenge when he wants revenge, and he will never die to let others live freely. This is the reason why everyone is afraid.
The Yushitai and the people from the Ministry of Punishment finished copying Ding Wei's family and returned to the court. Zhao Zhen did not want to take charge. Empress Dowager Liu took a look at the memorial from the Yushitai and became furious and asked: "Ding Wei's family has slipped through the net." ?”
Censor Jiang Qi glanced at Cheng Lin and reported back: "The people of Ding Mansion and others are subject to the records registered in Tianfeng Mansion. The male servants have been sent to the army and the female servants have been sold. Ding Zhaohua of the Ding family has become a nun. Ding's family has become a nun." The rest of the men were sent back to their places of origin, and no one was left out.”
Cheng Lin cooperated in this matter, and there was indeed nothing fishy during the process.
Many people in the DPRK hope that Ding Wei will fall because he blocks their future!
Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes and looked at the officials who were searching the house, and said meaningfully: "I heard that there was a steward in Ding's house who was extremely capable and good at poetry. He also acted for Ding and occupied the imperial land by the Bian River to build a palace that was unparalleled in the world. In the Forbidden City, many of your officials are favored by others and go to restaurants every day to watch operas and listen to music?"
The expressions of many officials changed immediately, including Ouyang Xiu and others.
I'm not talking about Liang Chuan.
This guy actually alarmed the Queen Mother?
Listening to Queen Mother Liu's tone, it seemed that he was not as angry with Ding Wei as he was with Liang Chuan!
Jiang Qidao: "Ding Wei also claimed that Liang Chuan was the steward of his house at the beginning, but after checking with the Kaifeng Mansion, the official list showed that there was no Liang Chuan in the list of servants in Ding Wei's house. This person had been claiming to be the steward of Ding Wei's house for a long time. He is cheating in name, but in fact he is not a servant of the Ding family."
Although Jiang Qi is not a very good person, he is very strict when doing things and will never mess around. What comes out of his mouth is like spitting and nailing.
Empress Dowager Liu was startled. She had heard that many people in the court had bribed Ding Wei, and most of them were through the hands of these officials. Liang Chuan actually slipped through the net. Could it be that these people were deliberately covering up?
Empress Dowager Liu refused to give up and said: "I heard that a gorgeous mansion has recently been built in Bianjing City. It is located in the most prosperous area. Many members of the royal family have come to complain to me. The land was originally owned by the emperor's relatives. Since it is a small man with a flat head, How did the common people take over the land on Bianhe Street? There must be something fishy in it. How did your Yushitai investigate the case? If not, I will ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate. As far as I know, the land was originally changed to a river. If you don’t pay attention to the things used to repair the palace, I think you should stop being an official and go back to being gentlemen!”
Jiang Qi didn't know how to answer for a moment. In fact, there was no need to answer this question. It was Ding Wei who said hello in the first place, and it was only with Lei Yungong's acquiescence that Liang Chuan could get the restaurant built by Di Qi. Many people knew this, but Ding Wei originally No one dares to talk about his high position and power. Could it be that Liang Chuan was so important that the Queen Mother personally wanted to take care of this boy?
When everyone saw Tianyan getting angry, they couldn't help but lower their eyebrows in shame and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
There was only one consensus among everyone. Liang Chuan was afraid that he had offended people he shouldn't have offended, such as Zhao Yunning, the king of Xin'an County, and his son Zhao Zong'e, who did all kinds of evil. But if you think about it with your heels, you will have trouble following Ding Wei without offending anyone. This family can be considered a tyrant in Bianjing City!
"Go ahead and check it out."
Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes, she must have a result for Liang Chuan!
"I obey the decree."
Jiang Qi insisted on accepting this decree. If he was asked to find out what kind of officials he was, he would have to discuss it. He didn't have a good impression of Liang Chuan, let alone someone who came out of nowhere. The little common people, if they die, they will die!
Prince Xin'an, instigated by Zhao Zonge, frantically participated in Liang Chuan's misdeeds, but Queen Mother Liu was not easily instigated. The reason why she wanted to fix Liang Chuan was not for others but for her daughter Liu Jinyan.
Her daughter seemed to have changed since she came back from Qingyuan. She sighed all day long, and later she wanted to become a monk. After being away for a while, she suddenly went down the mountain to return to secular life. If Qin Sang had not followed her, Queen Mother Liu would not even have known about this series of changes. causes and consequences.
It's all because of such a bastard, a mere lackey under his command.
Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud if it spread?
Originally, Ding Wei admired her very much. This man knew current affairs and knew how to stand in line at court, but Ding Wei had played himself to death. Since their common enemy Kou Zhun lost power, she had long wanted to kill Ding Wei as well. Get rid of him, give him a pillow for sleeping, Ding said that he was done playing, and now he just took this opportunity to get rid of this reckless boy.
Everything inside and outside the store has been arranged. Liang Chuan asked Yelu Chongguang to bring the chili pepper back to Qingyuan. The hot pot business is about to stop and the chefs will switch to other dishes. Except for the clerks and relatives who worked in the Forbidden City and stayed in Zhuangzi to continue farming, most of them slowly returned south to Qingyuan.
A great situation had just begun, but it ended up like this. Hong Bufan and other waiters looked at the back of his boss who was sitting by the window sill and looking at Haru Xue. They all said that something was going to happen to his boss. Everyone wanted to help him, but found that I am so insignificant.
The scenery between heaven and earth was vast. Liang Chuan looked at the current situation in the vast world and didn't know how to solve the situation.
The two groups of talents from Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment are depressed.
Ask them to arrest this domestic slave. When word spreads out, how will people in the world view them as censors, royal lackeys, and vicious dogs that bully the common people? It is a disgrace to their family status!
When Ding Wei was arrested, the effort to arrest this servant of the Ding Mansion was not as large. Their criminal justice system is the most important weapon of the country and specializes in solving serious and important cases. What did this servant commit? Is it at most a civil case involving land occupation?
Isn't it just a matter of leaving this kind of trivial case to the Kaifeng Mansion and letting the government officials deal with it? How about dispatching the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai to bring the matter to trial?
Hong Bufan and other children were afraid of dealing with people from the government. People from the Ministry of Punishment went to the Forbidden City to pick up people. Their small bodies actually stood up and blocked the people from the Ministry of Punishment. They did not want their boss to be taken away by these tigers and wolves. .
The officials from the Ministry of Punishment were really angry when they saw this! Are these unscrupulous people so brave? Since when did anyone dare to stop the Ministry of Punishment from arresting people?
"Get out of my way quickly. If you don't get out of the way, I'll take him to the prison and let you taste the torture tools inside!"
"You all go back and do your work, and I'll come as soon as I go."
Liang Chuan spoke extremely calmly.
"Come here as you go? You think the Ministry of Punishment's prison is your backyard, why don't you come and take a spin if you have nothing to do?"
The officials all laughed, but Liang Chuan was very cooperative. They put him on the shackles and took him away directly.
The courtyard of the Ministry of Punishment is not as gloomy as imagined. Several high-ranking officials are sitting behind a high desk. The light is so dark that even their faces cannot be seen clearly. It is a dark place where people are executed if they disagree with each other. The environment here is Well, it even lacks a good bedding to compare with an inn.
People who enter the Penal Department Prison are usually officials with some status. It is a bit difficult for ordinary people to enter here. As Liang Chuan said, some officials are just here for a formality. No one can guarantee that they will become their superiors after leaving here. Therefore, the principle of keeping a tightrope in everything is an eternal and hard truth here.
This is Liang Chuansan entering the palace. The prison cells of Fengshan County Government Office and Quanzhou Government Government Office are higher and higher, and now he has entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Liang Chuan learned how to evaluate the many cells he entered. The prison in Fengshan had the most monsters, ghosts, and monsters, and the environment was the worst, like a pig pen. The prison cell in Weiyuan Building is much better. There are not that many people in it. The Penal Department Prison is the highest level, just like Qincheng Prison. Ordinary people can't get in if they want to.
There was only Liang Chuan in one cell, and the other cells were also empty.
The Ministry of Justice sent in some food. There was no meat, just some boiled cabbage, a few steamed buns and some millet.
Liang Chuan brought the dishes in front of him and looked at the appearance. There was no strange taste in the food and the color did not change. He started eating after confirming that there was nothing strange in the dishes.
"Don't worry, you are now the emperor's designated prisoner who has been personally registered. We still have time to treat you as a grandpa. We are afraid that you will not be able to think about it and die beforehand! Poison you? Haha, we still have to sit together, we are not alive yet That’s enough!”
The yamen officer was very unhappy when he saw Liang Chuan's actions. Who do you think you are? A person who doesn't even hold an official position is worthy of letting us drug him?
Liang Chuan chuckled and didn't reply.
After dinner, Liang Chuan stayed alone in the prison cell until noon. Then an official came slowly. Liang Chuan recognized the person who was coming, Du Yan, the Minister of Punishment.
The level of the visitor was so high. As a rule, for a person with Liang Chuan's status, the most he could do was to have a doctor or a member of the court, plus two minor officials to draw a few signatures and sign, and that was it. The second-in-command also came.
Du Yan was a little embarrassed when he saw Liang Chuan, because when the Forbidden City opened, he also thought it was Ding Wei's private property and gave some antiques as a gift. It seemed to be a high-quality Duan inkstone, which is still displayed on the ancient shelf on the second floor of the Forbidden City. What if this The boy said something he shouldn't have said, and he also had a headache.
"Bring out the criminals."
The chains of the prison cell were opened with a bang. Liang Chuan walked out of the cell and entered a small room. There was a tall desk with a pen holder, an inkstone and other items. There was a small stool underneath, which seemed to be for Liang Chuan was sitting.
Du Yan motioned Liang Chuan to sit down, then with a wink, sent all the officials away.
What is this going to do?
Seeing that everyone was gone, Du Yan walked to Liang Chuan and suddenly said earnestly: "Sanlang, don't be surprised, Mr. Du also acted under orders. In the past, Mr. Du had inherited many personal affairs of Sanlang. Mr. Du dare not forget. Today is just a routine matter. Don’t blame me!”
Liang Chuan quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you are complimenting me by calling me Sanlang. I dare not let you bother me. I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly. I just don't know what I have committed. I am being detained and come to your department today?"
Du Yan then explained in detail how Empress Dowager Liu named her to investigate the case of land occupation in Liangchuan.
