Hearing his intention, Liu Chengyou's mind quickly flooded with thoughts, and it was aimed at Shi Hongzhao, who is this Zhao Li, and it is related to the struggle in Xijing? On the Luoyang side, the struggle between Shi Hongzhao and the nobles has become the main contradiction in the military and politics. You attacked me, and I suppressed and rectified you, it has been going on for a while, and it is still the cause planted by Liu Chengyou at the beginning.

Liu Chengyou looked at the person who was alone in the hall, his head buried very low, and he couldn't see his appearance.

Turning his body slightly sideways, with an unmoving expression on his face, Liu Chengyou said lightly: "Do you know who Shi Hongzhao is!" A small imperial history in Taiwan dared to meet to impeach the Han Dynasty Fathers and feudal officials, so bold! ”

In Liu Chengyou's words, there was a faint meaning of protecting Shi Hongzhao, which Zhao Li didn't seem to hear, and bowed respectfully: "As the imperial history, the minister is just responsible for the impeachment of the officials in charge of Xijing, but looking at his actions, he doesn't care about the weight of the position of power and the dignity of the official position!" ”

This statement is right, the end is righteous and bright, and Liu Chengyou suddenly felt a trace of rejection in his heart. Since Shi Hongzhao guarded Xijing, he has received a lot of attacks and accusations against Shi Hongzhao, but it is the first time that such a person has been impeached. Liu Chengyou subconsciously attributed it to the group of Xijing Xungui.

However, everyone spoke so righteously, and since Liu Chengyou boasted of accepting advice, of course he listened to him. waved his hand and gave him a chance to continue: "I want to hear it, what happened to Shi Qing again?" ”

Hearing this, this Zhao Li finally raised his head, his face was very clean, his face was normal, the so-called relationship was born from the heart, Liu Chengyou suddenly had such a thought: Perhaps, this person is really just for the impeachment of Shi Hongzhao.

Of course, Zhao Li didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Liu Chengyou's tone, and he didn't know that Liu Chengyou had praised Shi Hongzhao before, and said bluntly: "Zheng Guogong has been in Xijing for half a year, he has been domineering his power, gathering into a trend, bullying the good, and robbing people's ......property."

Listening to the old-fashioned rhetoric, Liu Chengyou directly interrupted: "Say something specific!" ”

Zhao Li frowned slightly, and a little surprise flashed in his clear eyes, but he quickly retracted his thoughts, not mentioning those empty words, but speaking bluntly.

Not to mention before, since Liu Chengyou's expedition to the west, Shi Hongzhao has committed a lot of crimes. Luoyang County's Cheng family bought the cloth industry, took advantage of the western expedition to quell the rebellion, and actively supplied military clothing, and obtained a lot, which was constructed by Shi Hongzhao and seized its industry; The crown prince Taibao Wang Yan, because of the verbal collision, was sent by Shi Hongzhao to break into his house, scolded with a cane, and told him to stop; urged Ding Zhuang, disarmed grain and equipment, imprisoned and harsh drugs, and killed more than 10 people; In the matter of the autumn harvest, people were sent to forcibly break into the manor houses, apportionment and requisition of grain, and extortion; Shi Hongzhao's younger brother Shi Honglang......

In short, from Zhao Li's mouth, Shi Hongzhao is a strong and domineering, chaotic government and a great evil minister.

As for his words, Liu Chengyou's reaction was very calm, he only believed half, many things, you can't just look at the surface. Not to mention anything else, if Shi Hongzhao is really as heinous as Zhao Li said, the early people of Luoyang will be bored. However, in fact, although the people in the counties under Xijing's rule are suffering, the public order is quite stable. What is really difficult is the officials and nobles.

Of course, Shi Hongzhao has done a lot of bad things, buying industries and filling his pockets, which is more serious than when he was in Tokyo.

"Finished?" As his words fell, Liu Chengyou tapped his fingers on the table and stopped, changed his posture and asked lightly.

He gave his own advice, but seeing the cold reaction of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Li couldn't help but have a trace of obvious disappointment on his face. When faced with a question, some did not know how to answer.

beckoned to Zhang Dejun: "After saying so much, I'm also thirsty, give him a bowl of tea to moisten his throat." ”

Soon, the imperial lamp was handed over, and Zhao Li took it in a daze, thanks.

"I know what you're doing." Liu Chengyou's attitude seemed perfunctory.

"Your Majesty!" This person was really uninteresting, a little ignorant of advancing and retreating, and called out excitedly.

"Enough!" Liu Chengyou stopped him: "I have my own plans. If nothing else, step aside. ”

To Liu Chengyou's surprise, this person was not only blind, but also stubborn, opened his mouth, took a deep breath, hesitated slightly, and said: "The minister still has an impeachment matter!" ”

"Speak!" Liu Chengyou is really interested now.

"Shi Yancheng, the judge who stayed in Xijing, did not follow the government, and handled official business at home; push the official Jiang Chan, Shao Yin Cui Shu, slack government and slow government; The prince washes the horse Zhang Jining, and every time he asks for leave, he does not bow up; Li Yu, the secretary of the seal, and Dr. Li Yu, the doctor of Guozi, gathered guests for the banquet, criticized national politics, and often complained......" In one breath, Zhao Li spit out a series of names.

In addition to a few fictitious positions, the real power officials of the Luoyang Left-behind Mansion were almost impeached by him.

Now, Liu Chengyou is almost sure that this Zhao Li is not just aimed at Shi Hongzhao.

In the end, it was simply dismissed. However, Liu Chengyou's mind can't help but be heavy. The situation in Luoyang is much better than at the beginning of the founding of the country. But it turns out that he can't be too optimistic, and he also knows a little about the situation here, but he is still a little pimple in his heart when he is directly pierced in front of him.

"What do you think of the situation in Luoyang?" After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou asked Fan directly.

Fan Zhen also understood what Liu Chengyou meant, thought about it for a while, and while observing Liu Chengyou's eyes, he said solemnly: "Here in Xijing, the competition between the powerful and the elite has become more and more intense, if it is not contained, I am afraid that the impact will spread to the military, government and people's livelihood!" ”

Fan's words, the reminder is very strong. Seeing Liu Chengyou's brows locked, he said again: "Your Majesty needs to know, it's too late!" ”

Obviously, Fan Zhen knows Liu Chengyou's purpose of putting Shi Hongzhao in Luoyang, and the noble bureaucrats here have been almost tossed for half a year. Liu Chengyou only wants to suppress Xungui's rampant behavior and crack down on illegal acts, but he has no intention of eliminating it, and if he lets Shi Hongzhao go on, I'm afraid he will have to force out the chaos.

Moreover, even if Shi Hongzhao himself is unscrupulous, he can't let it go, if he can harm the officials, he can harm the people. The more than 10 SLM casualties were enough to give them a wake-up call.

Waving his hand and signaling Fan Zhen to step down, Liu Chengyou stayed on the dragon chair and thought about it carefully.

Suddenly raised his head and instructed Zhang Dejun: "Go and check, what's going on with that Zhao Li!" ”

"Yes!"

On the second day, Zhao Li's situation was presented to Liu Chengyou's desk. A native of Luoyang, he started as a county official, his family was poor, he was upright, he was not corrupt or bribed, and he was degraded because he offended Shangguan because of his direct stabbing of the times...... To put it simply, he is an "angry youth", such a person generally does not end well.

In this way, this Zhao Li is a loyal and upright man. He is humble and does not dare to forget the country......" Putting away the report, Liu Chengyou muttered secretly.

......

After resting in Luoyang for a day, Liu Chengyou was sent to Tokyo, and he was like an arrow.

However, on the day of Luoyang, Liu Chengyou directly impeached Zhang Jining and Shi Yancheng by Zhao Li

, Jiang Chan, Cui Shu, Li Yu, and Li Long, all of them were disposed of, dismissed, and seized their posts, so as to suppress the unhealthy trend of Luoyang officialdom.

The only one who didn't move had to count Shi Hongzhao, who was "extremely evil".

Before leaving, Liu Chengyou called Shi Hongzhao to the imperial front again, and ordered him to raise his face, for example, there is a famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and there are many large and small Buddhist temples in Xijinggi, and there are many illegal things, so he secretly instructed him to investigate and rectify it carefully......

When it comes to offending people, Liu Chengyou believes that Shi Hongzhao will do a good job.

"You go in person and ask for that Zhao Li for me!" After sending off the triumphant army, Shi Hongzhao returned to the palace and summoned his younger brother Shi Honglang, the commander of the Xijing Infantry Army, and coldly ordered: "You dare to go to the palace to slander me, I really don't know whether I am alive or dead!" If it weren't for the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't Shi have been planted in his hands? ”

"Yes! I'll go! Shi Honglang's face was ruthless.

Compared with when he was in Tokyo, as far as Shi Honglang was concerned, he was still comfortable in Luoyang, and his brother was in power, without many constraints, and he was much more comfortable.

However, when Shi Honglang took people and rushed to the dilapidated house of the Zhao family in a domineering manner, he pounced, and it was reported that Zhao Li had been summoned to Tokyo as the imperial history and went to Kaifeng with his wife......

"Big brother, what does the emperor mean by this, and he even promoted the official of Zhao Li's thief?" Shi Honglang's face was full of anger.

Hearing this news, Shi Hongzhao's expression was also a little unsightly, his eyebrows were condensed, and his fists were clenched. However, his body slowly relaxed, pondered for a while, and instructed Shi Honglang: "In the future, let my subordinates be more restrained, and if you dare to do anything lawless, I will deal with it personally!" ”

"Big brother-" Shi Honglang didn't react.

"Do as I say, convey it to all the servants, if you dare to disobey my orders, then don't blame Shi for being ruthless!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, you take people to check and control the Buddhist temples under your rule, especially the White Horse Temple. A bald donkey dares to amass such a huge amount of wealth, no wonder the Son of Heaven can't tolerate him......"

Maybe it's a simpler idea, Shi Hongzhao, but he can see it very clearly.
