Seeing Liu Chengyou looking at him with inquiring eyes, Li Shaoyou immediately said: "Liu Xin is not only the emperor's uncle, but also a vassal town. Even if he has committed a crime, the official will deal with it urgently, and he must be upright..."
"I'm sending an edict to take it. Isn't it fair enough?" Liu Chengyou interrupted and asked without waiting for him to finish.
"That's not what I meant." Li Shaoyou calmly bowed his head and said, "I just feel that we can't take it rashly right now. We need to have evidence and evidence, otherwise if it spreads, it may not be good for the officialdom." reputation, and can easily cause others to feel uneasy and suspicious of the court."
"Furthermore, the Queen Mother and the ministers also need to explain something. In addition, the emperor's uncle is the only guilty person in Xuzhou Jiedu. His subordinates, bureaucrats and assistants, took advantage of the situation to commit crimes and oppress good people. They are invincible. Count. There are still thousands of tooth soldiers under the Zhongwu Army, and among them there are many generals and soldiers who help the emperor's uncle to do evil. In order to avoid unrest, they need to be dealt with carefully..."
As Li Shaoyou narrated, Liu Chengyou's expression became very calm: "There is a profound meaning in your words! Someone else, which someone else?"
"However, it is more appropriate for you to think about things. I'm afraid you have already considered the matter in Xuzhou!" Liu Chengyou stared at this cousin.
Li Shaoyou bowed and responded: "The official family has a destiny, and I dare not not think about it more and think about it carefully."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou completely calmed down, raised his hand to make a retreat gesture to Zhao Yanjin, thought for a while, clenched his fists, and ordered to Li Shaoyou: "I understand what you mean, next, I will investigate what you are investigating." Liu Xin’s crimes must be carried out in detail for me one by one, and fixed evidence must be collected, shouldn’t it be done openly and honestly, I will give him an honest and fair one!”
"Yes!" Li Shaoyou quickly replied.
"Zhang Dejun!" Li Shaoyou retreated, Liu Chengyou only pondered for a while and called out coldly.
"exist."
"Let me tell you, all the chambermaids, female officers, and guards on duty in front of the imperial family must keep their mouths shut!" Liu Chengyou's tone was particularly stern.
There was no need to say the last half of the sentence. Zhang Dejun trembled and hurriedly responded.
"Pass on the censor Zhao Li!"
"yes!"
Alone in a room, Liu Chengyou casually picked up a memorial from Tokyo, which was about the transfer of money and grain to Hedong. Unfortunately, Liu Chengyou was a little uninterested. With a slightly complicated mood, I walked around the house a few times, walked to the window lattice, stood with my hands behind my back, and calmly looked at the green spring scenery outside the window, my eyes gradually becoming cold and firm.
On this trip south, in addition to dealing with Liu Zhiyuan's funeral, Liu Chengyou also had the idea of dealing with Liu Xin. He had long heard about his imperial uncle's crimes in Xuzhou, but he was hesitant in dealing with them. However, after arriving in Xuzhou and after this investigation, he realized how much trouble he, the emperor's uncle, had caused.
In fact, by this time, Liu Chengyou was determined enough to punish Liu Xin severely. Chickens need to be killed from time to time, and Uncle Huang's chicken is probably the heaviest.
...
Zhao Li left the emperor's palace and returned home, his steps hurried and his expression a little excited. Among the censors accompanying him this time, he has the highest official position and is the most trusted by the emperor. As Liu Chengyou paid more and more attention to the supervision system, he, the backbone of the Yushitai, was very proud of himself.
In fact, during this trip south to Xuzhou, Zhao Li was secretly planning to do a big thing. The authority of Yushitai, in addition to the emperor's support, also required them to make some big moves to clear their name. As a coincidence, the target chosen by Zhao Li was also Liu Xin.
Yushitai was also very careful about resuming the supervision of Daozhou outside Beijing. Starting from Kinki Prefecture, but looking at all the prefectures, Xuzhou was the only one with the most troubles. In the past few days, not only Wu Desi was investigating Liu Xin, but Xuzhou's censor was also secretly observing the public sentiment and collecting evidence.
As for Zhao Li, despite his previous efforts, he had the courage to give advice and the courage to speak out that led him to Luoyang for Liu Chengyou. But this time, with the intention of dealing with Liu Xin, he was actually very worried. The more comprehensive the information he learned, the more he understood the situation in Xuzhou, and the more he became afraid. He believed that as long as he dared to impeach Liu Xin, the emperor's uncle would definitely lead his people to take him down, and he would be brutally punished.
However, fear turned into fear, and his mind became more determined. After all, the opportunity to become famous all over the world and to shock the court was a rare opportunity for a public official like him. Of course, he also saw that the relationship between the emperor and Liu Xin's uncle and nephew was not friendly.
However, today, the last hesitation in Zhao Li's heart was extinguished. Liu Chengyou gave him a reassurance when he met with the king. To Zhao Li's surprise, the emperor also wanted to deal with Liu Xin.
"Envoy of the Academy." A young censor came as ordered and saw Zhao Li who was full of enthusiasm.
"Have you sorted out all the things you collected?" Zhao Li looked at the young subordinate and asked majestically.
Upon hearing this, the censor immediately took out a few books and respectfully presented them to Zhao Li: "Don't dare to neglect your orders. After being compiled by my subordinates, there are ten books in total!"
"Well!" Zhao Li took it, took a look at it, and praised: "Being a Jinshi, this pole is really good!"
"The envoy is so complimentary!" the young censor said with his hands in hand. He is quite humble, no wonder he can be taken by Zhao Li.
Seeing Zhao Li who was immersed in the documents, a little worry appeared on the young censor's face. He cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao, the ten items listed here are all serious crimes, all pointing to Xuzhou Jiedu. However, after all, he is a relative of the emperor. , His Majesty’s uncle, so, so..."
Raising his head and looking at the young man, Zhao Li said calmly: "What, are you scared?"
The censor did not hide his fear and replied: "In the past few days, we have been visiting people and investigating things, which has attracted the surveillance of state soldiers. Now my subordinates don't dare to go out."
Faced with this situation, Zhao Li did not feel embarrassed. He just picked up the album in his hand and asked, "You are honest, and it is normal to have fear in your heart. However, you have forgotten Bian Zhongcheng's warning to speak out and impartially." Your Majesty’s teachings also require us not to avoid the powerful!”
The censor was silent and just buried his head very low.
Seeing this, Zhao Li asked with a smile on his lips: "I entered the official position very early, but my whole life was wasted. Four months ago, I was only the first censor in Xijing District. Now, I have received the grace of the Holy Spirit and am the censor. Shi Yiyuan, do you know why?"
The young censor was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hands and said: "I have heard something. It was the emperor who went to the emperor directly to impeach Shi Hongzhao, who stayed in Xijing, for his illegal conduct, which was appreciated by your majesty. Among the three academies, there is no one who disapproves of the loyalty and integrity of the officials. You show your admiration for your courage!"
There was some confidence on Zhao Li's face, as if he was recalling his self-recommendation when he was in a humble position, and he said leisurely: "At that time, I almost lost my life."
"This time, I still have this intention! If not for anything else, just for the officials and people who suffered in Xuzhou, and to restore peace to Xuzhou!" Zhao Li looked upright and righteous.
"Mr. Zhao is righteous!"
"Haha!" Seeing the young junior being deceived into being so solemn, Zhao Li smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "But the result may not be as serious as imagined."
"How do you say this?"
Zhao Li shook his head but did not explain.
After quitting his subordinates, Zhao Li was immersed in reviewing the details of the report. After a long time, he straightened up, took a few deep breaths, seemed to have adjusted his emotions, picked up his pen with a serious expression, and wrote hard.
What he wrote became hundreds of words of impeachment.
