Chapter 478: Compromise
Although the rebellion of the Chai family was discovered by the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau in time, it caused indelible scars to Zhao Zhen's glass heart.
In order to sit on the throne and show the attitude of the Zhao family, the Chai family is the most favored person, others can understand the rebellion of the Zhao family, but it is sad for the Chai family to do this! He was thinking about whether to cut the grass and eradicate the roots like the Li family in the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Meng family in Shudi, so as to prevent future troubles.
The affairs of the Chai family also sounded a wake-up call for Zhao Zhen, now that the Chai family is rebelling, he believes that it will not become much of a climate, once his son sits on the throne, then everything is difficult to say, Zhao Zhen must help his son clean up these hidden dangers before his own limit.
When this kind of thing happened, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so Zhao Zhen once again called all the bigwigs in the political hall into the palace, and when Song Zhen heard that the Chai family had rebelled and there was already evidence, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.
He thinks more, of course, when the literati are in power, they must be reflected, this is to pave the way for their future nicknames, the important thing is that the Chai family can pull out a lot of people, although you are not optimistic about me as the prime minister, but the credit is flying in my hands, what can I do.
This leadership team has not encountered such a thing as rebellion, everyone is waiting for the boss to speak, but the boss is pretending to be dead there, Fu Bi can't stand it anymore and says: "How was this matter discovered." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Let Master Ji explain the details of the matter for you Aiqing. ”
Ji Shi'an's eyes were almost to the sky, he was the most proud person present, and he described how to investigate, how to prepare, and how to arrest people in the end, and said it without missing anything, if Jia Dian was here, he might spit on Ji Shi'an's face.
"Now that Chai Yixi has admitted the fact that the Chai family rebelled, what we need to do now is to minimize the follow-up impact of this incident, now everyone will talk about their opinions!" Zhao Zhen said after changing his thoughts.
Song Zhen said: "This incident happened in Kaifeng Mansion, it was investigated by the Ministry of Police, why did you not see the two principals, and the rebellion also depends on the degree of damage caused to the country. ”
Zhao Zhen felt that it made sense, so he asked people to invite Lu Zifei and Bao Zheng, and the guards met the two who came hand in hand as soon as they left the palace, Lu Zifei smiled and said to Bao Zheng: "Uncle saw it!" We still can't do without us. ”
Bao Zheng's position and title are at the level of Lu Zifei's grandfather, so he should be the first to speak: "The matter has nothing to do with Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and the Five Cities Terracotta Division only play an auxiliary role, so let's listen to Lord Lu's words!" ”
For the things found in the tunnel, Lu Zifei didn't know whether it was better to say it or not, the Chai family was bound to be finished, and the secret information of the various families in the capital, if these were in Zhao Zhen's hands, it would be very powerful.
After a few struggles, Lu Zifei said: "The minister found a large amount of gold and silver property in the nest of the 'beggar gang', the amount was about several million yuan, and the minister came to report it as soon as he got the news. ”
This gave Zhao Zhen a little comfort in disappointment, and looked at Lu Zifei and said with relief: "Is there anything else besides money?" ”
Pang Ji saw the hesitation on Lu Zifei's face and said, "Is there anything you can't say?" There are still things in the court that can't be said to a few of us, so do you still have someone to say? ”
"It also found a large number of unknown secrets in the minister's house that they had collected, and the minister immediately sealed it after discovering it, and so far, no one knows what is written in it."
As soon as these words came out, the sky was pierced! Who's family hasn't had a little bit of trouble, the darkness of the family is well known to everyone, if anyone makes all these public to the world, let alone sharing the world with the Zhao family, it's good not to be pointed out by thousands of people.
Zhao Zhen calmed down after being overjoyed, who dares to announce this Nima to the world, I am afraid that Zhao Zhen himself will not be able to afford the consequences, the scholar is the cornerstone of their Zhao family, if there is no scholar doctor, the Zhao family's dynasty will also dissipate.
"Are you sure no one has seen it? Including yourself. Zhao Zhen's tone was very solemn.
Lu Zifei said: "The minister dares to use his life to guarantee, absolutely no one has seen it, when I opened it and found that it was wrong, I immediately let people seal it all, and the minister came back for this matter, it is all up to the emperor to decide." ”
Song Zhen was in a hurry, he said: "Your Majesty, this thing can't be passed on to the world!" If you let someone with a heart get it, it will be a time bomb that will kill everyone at any time. ”
Zhao Zhen was very reluctant to let go of this great opportunity for checks and balances, but he also knew what kind of consequences this thing would cause if he put it in his hands, which would make him wonder what would happen if Lu Zifei secretly gave this thing to himself.
Lu Zifei's idea is also simple, he has always been a member of the Wenchen, and being close to Zhao Zhen is on the one hand, on the other hand, he will be an official in the court in the future, this matter let the ministers know, and he may not even be able to stay in Bianjing.
"Lord Lu, tell me what you think, this is related to the survival of countless people, Lu Hou will talk about it after you think about it."
This was said by Bao Zheng, he was afraid that Lu Zifei would act irrationally under his youth and vigor, Lu Zifei knew that Bao Zheng's threatening words were for his own good, and he thought of a good way in an instant.
"All I do is the duty of the Ministry of Police and the Public Security Bureau, as for what to do with things, it is up to the emperor and the adults to decide."
Ji Shi'an didn't expect Lu Zongfei to find such a major news, but he knew that the credit this time was already big enough, and if he was greedy, he might become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others.
"I think what Hanzhang said is very right, what we have to do is to perform our duties, since the evidence is complete, our police department will not be involved, and we can rest assured that it will be handed over to everyone in the political hall."
The sound of relief sounded in the hall, and everyone wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, as long as the police department did not bite to death, all that remained was to compromise and exchange with the emperor.
Song Qi said: "The minister feels that it is good to leave the later things to the Criminal Department, didn't the emperor still talk about the restructuring of the Criminal Department last year, this time is a good opportunity, we can take this opportunity to let the Criminal Department try it." ”
Although this exchange minister is very reluctant, because judging from the consequences of the reform, the group will be further concentrated in the hands of the emperor, but at present, it seems that it is indeed the best way, if Zhao Zhen can agree, then they are also willing to lose a little.
Zhao Zhen smiled, originally he didn't think about it, but you proposed it yourself, so I'm welcome.
"Zhong Aiqing feels that it is better for the privy councillor to be in this position." He did not say anything about the restructuring of the Criminal Department, but transferred to the position of privy councillor that had been vacant.
Everyone is thinking that your heart is too heavy! A criminal department can't satisfy you, the privy envoy you also have to intervene, the situation in the southeast is erosive, this will make the privy envoy have a great right to speak, you want to dominate the court alone!
"The emperor thinks who is more suitable to serve as this privy envoy?" Zeng Gongliang said.
Zhao Zhen said: "Du Yan, what do you think, the old ministers of the two dynasties, there is no problem in serving as a privy envoy. ”
Du Yan is a product of Qingli's new policy, he was demoted from the dynasty with Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and other figures, and he was also demoted to Hebei West Road as a strategic envoy.
Song Zhen thought of a key point, in fact, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi are more suitable than Du Yan to be privy envoys, but Du Yan has a natural advantage, that is, he is old, and he will be a master in less than two years, and the emperor is afraid that he has taken a fancy to this!
"The minister agreed that Lord Du would come back as a privy envoy, Lord Du was very old, and returning to the capital could be regarded as a comfort to the minister."
As soon as these people heard that they were old, they understood what was going on, and they thought that they were supporting Du Yan, and they wanted to understand that everyone agreed, and the matter of the Chai family's rebellion was decided so easily.
But who will deal with the evidence is a headache, the criminal department family is not at ease when they go to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen is not at ease when he sends someone to the ministers, so in the end, after everyone agrees, one person from each of the three parties will deal with the evidence.
Lu Zifei didn't follow, because he still had something to say to Zhao Zhen, and after going out of the vertical arch hall and turning around and returning to the hall, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I know that your kid still has something to say." ”
"Everything can't escape the emperor's eyes, the minister does still have doubts, and only the minister knows this, and there is no one else around during the interrogation."
Zhao Zhen said: "Say it! Now there are only three people, you can rest assured. ”
"I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Jiangmen, at least the Pan family must know, the leader of the beggar gang Qi San told me that the Chai family has been preparing for a long time, and the minister is a little worried..."
"I thought of these things when I met Chai Yixi, do you think it's just the two of us thinking of this? Those prime ministers had already thought that they didn't make trouble because they were in a hurry to wipe their butts, and it was their normal operation to settle accounts afterwards. ”
Lu Zifei didn't react much, he also thought of this, but when he thought about it, he had to be frank with the emperor, so he always emphasized that attitude was very important.
"There's no need for that beggar to stay, let's deal with him privately!"
Zhao Zhen said: "It's not appropriate for you to go to this matter, let Shangguan go!" When I bring it back to the palace, I have to ask some questions. ”
Lu Zifei said: "The minister has retired."
Zhao Zhen said: "You have done a good job in this matter, and you have signed in all aspects of the process, and you have matured a lot in the past two years." ”
Lu Zifei left after thanking him, and when he left the hall, he secretly scolded in his heart: "It's better to say these meaningless words than to have something practical, just talking about it sounds good is a fart." ”
