Chapter 837: Backsliding (9)
"My lord, everything is done, Parza has collected the money and agreed to our request."
Hu Zengsi found Li Xun and reported the situation.
Li Xun asked, "How much did Parza ask for?" ”
Hu Zengsi replied: "I asked for 100,000 taels." ”
Li Xun smiled: "Parza is still so greedy. ”
Hu Zengsi asked a little strangely: "Does the lord know this Hu man?" ”
Li Xun was silent, did not answer Hu Zengsi, Parza he had a relationship, that was the first battle of Longyou, Li Xun followed the left minister Liu Wei to envoy Momeng, at that time the Momeng Hu tribe was still in the split, but the north is strong and the south is weak, and the trend of North Hu unifying the entire Momeng grassland has become more and more obvious.
Sima Tu waved his hand at Hu Zengsi, signaling that he could leave.
Hu Zengsi bowed his head to Li Xun, and then turned to leave.
Parza was once a confidant of To'an Hateng (wife) Enmaguna, this person is good at sloping whiskers and horses, and his personality is greedy for money and lustful, but I have to say that Parza does have his talent in terms of financial management, after the Mobei Hu people destroyed the Monan Hu tribe, Tuo'an, Servant Shot and many other strong characters in the desert grassland were killed one by one, Enmaguna as a woman, was not killed, but also from the former noblewoman, suddenly became the lowest slave, Parza was also with Enmaguna at the beginning, was demoted to slavery, and was tortured in every way, But this person is good at slapping horses, and soon he made friends with the local army leader, managing the sale of goods for him, because of the good management, the management of the way, a remote place, was actually made a good reputation, became a considerable scale of goods distribution center in the south of Momeng, Parza's reputation was spread out at once, and finally aroused the interest of the Liao Dynasty emperor Hohe Ba Ri, recalled it to Kyoto, and was appointed, and in the following years, because of the good financial management, gradually won the trust and reuse of the emperor Ho and Ba Ri, This time, the Liao Dynasty came to the Great Jin Dynasty to propose, and the envoy was Parza.
Qian Mingdu only promised that when the time was ripe, he would speak in front of the emperor, but how to let Hu Ren nominate Zhao Yue by himself is your Li Xun's own business.
Therefore, Li Xun ordered Hu Zengsi to find Parza, do what he likes, bribe this person heavily, and let him nominate Zhao Yue, which in Parza's opinion, is simply a windfall, anyway, as long as it is a princess, it doesn't matter who it is, someone can find himself specifically for such a thing and send a large amount of money, Parza naturally has no reason not to agree.
Zhao Xun sat there, frowning slightly, and Qian Mingdu and Lu Baijiang stood on both sides.
Today's court meeting, everything was originally normal, but near the end, suddenly a royal history came out to impeach, saying that Li Zhongquan was attacking the government behind his back, slandering ministers, accepting bribes, and even bullying his own concubine, destroying the corpse, and asking the emperor to punish him severely.
Zhao Xun looked at Qian Mingdu and said lightly: "Yushi Yanming is very close to the Liu family, and today in the court, he suddenly impeached Li Zhongquan, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Zhao Xun said that Yan Ming and the Liu family are very close, because he thinks that behind this matter, there may be a family of gate valves.
Qian Mingdu said softly: "Your Majesty, what you said was done, the evidence is conclusive, and it is all the truth. ”
Qian Mingdu's meaning is very clear, no matter what he said today, whether there is a figure of the gate valve family behind it, or there are other conspiracies, what he played is indeed true and correct, and the evidence is conclusive, Li Zhongquan does not even have a chance to quibble.
Zhao Xun was silent, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "I have repeatedly warned you that when you are a person and do things, you must abide by the law and do not act recklessly, Li Zhongquan...... What a disappointment for me. ”
Lu Baijiang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. ”
Zhao Xun said lightly: "I naturally will not ignore the national law, since Li Zhongquan has committed a crime, of course I will punish him." ”
"Qian Mingdu, you are the left waiter of the Criminal Department, what crime should Li Zhongquan commit?"
Qian Mingdu pondered, attacking the government, slandering ministers, accepting bribes, killing people and destroying traces, any of them is not a small crime, added together, it must be a capital crime, but since Zhao Xun asked himself, he focused on the fact that he was the left servant of the Criminal Department, obviously he wanted to open the net, and did not want Li Zhongquan to be sentenced to death.
Thinking about this, Qian Mingdu said: "The law of the country does not tolerate it, and the crimes committed by Li Zhongquan are unforgivable, but he has made meritorious contributions to the emperor after all, and Weichen feels that he can be appropriately lenient." ”
"How do you think the penalty should be awarded?"
"Degrade Lingnan and make a county order."
Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Li Zhongquan's matter will be sent to your criminal department for handling." ”
Qian Mingdu bowed down and responded: "Weichen takes the order." ”
Lu Baijiang on the side frowned, these crimes committed by Li Zhongquan are not small, if you are someone else, not to mention a dead end, at least you have to be sentenced to dismissal and exile, and your fame is complete, but now you are just demoting Li Zhongquan to Lingnan and giving him a county order to do, this sentence is actually not heavy, Lu Baijiang is a little disapproving, but it is not good to say anything, after all, Li Zhongquan is still loyal to Zhao Xun, when Zhao Xun was the king of Qi, he followed around, he was Zhao Xun's closest confidant old man, Zhao Xun was partial to him, It's also normal.
Qian Mingdu secretly sneered in his heart, there was such a result, and it was also expected by him, Li Zhongquan was demoted, he was already very satisfied, and he had achieved his goal, Qian Mingdu felt that Li Zhongquan's life was over, you know, it was easy to go down, and if you wanted to come up, it would be difficult, even if it was a few years, Zhao Xun thought of Li Zhongquan, and then transferred him back to Fengjing, but at that time, the environment had changed too much, and if he missed this opportunity, Li Zhongquan had to be pressed by himself for the rest of his life.
Li Zhongquan's matter came to an end for the time being, Zhao Xun picked up a notebook, and said to Qian Mingdu: "Li Xun wrote a book to intercede for Mao Anfu, and your criminal department also echoed this proposal, I remember that Mao Anfu had already been sentenced to death, why hasn't the punishment been executed for such a long time?" Now let's talk about this matter again, what do you mean by the Criminal Department and Li Xun? ”
Zhao Xun's tone was quite dissatisfied, Mao Anfu's matter had been concluded more than three months ago, because he was not an important person, Zhao Xun didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that at this moment, Mao Anfu had already been executed, where did he think that today Li Xun and the Criminal Department have written one after another to intercede for Mao Anfu to exonerate him, Zhao Xun only then knew that Mao Anfu was not dead, which made Zhao Xun a little angry, as the emperor, how could it be so difficult to kill someone?
