Chapter 214: Giving Advice
After Xu Jingheng heard this, he was silent, glanced at the breezy Zhao Gou, and pondered: "Isn't he having a better plan?" ”
Xu Jingheng was a little uncertain, not looking down on Zhao Gou, but feeling a little incredible. After all, how old is Zhao Goucai, even if he is walking in the court and is the former superintendent of the imperial history, he has to deal with it carefully, he doesn't dare to go too far, and he is restricted everywhere.
Even if he has the heart to be loyal to the country, he can't do anything, which makes him a little depressed.
Seeing Xu Jingheng's surprised eyes, Zhao Gou smiled meaningfully: "Lord Xu, don't worry, some things are still hidden, it's too obvious to be afraid of nothing, and act in a low-key manner!" ”
Xu Jingheng's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, he was a little curious in his heart, and he didn't know why Zhao Gou knew this. At the beginning, the reason why Xu Jingheng was restricted everywhere as a supervisor of the imperial history was that his character did not know how to forbear, and he acted above board, so that many times he got nothing.
Zhao Gou's words made him understand that the supervision of the imperial history is good to supervise hundreds of officials, and if it is not good, it is a spy, or a spy to investigate the behavior of hundreds of officials for the emperor, which is above board. Because of this, it is necessary to hide their whereabouts from others to avoid falling short.
Xu Jingheng learned these truths from failure, but he didn't want to be caught in Zhao Gouyi's words, so he was silent and didn't continue to ask about others, and he was relieved. Xu Jingheng couldn't help but glance at it appreciatively, and thought: "He is worthy of being handsome, and his eyes are vicious!" ”
Since he knew what Zhao Gou meant, Xu Jingheng was embarrassed to stay longer, so he got up and said goodbye. Zhao Gou didn't keep him, let him leave, and admonished: "Lord Xu, if this official has something important, he will definitely come to inform him, and everything can be assured!" ”
Xu Jingheng nodded solemnly, turned around and said goodbye and left, before he came, he had a sad face, and after he went out, he smiled with his eyebrows, his face was relaxed, and he also understood in his heart that Zhao Gou was not waiting for changes, nor was he standing still, but waiting for the opportunity.
Sure enough, Xu Jingheng's trip to the county king's mansion spread far and wide, regardless of the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others, even other officials knew about it, and even Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was sitting in the palace, was also clear, and Song Huizong smiled indifferently when he heard it.
The crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others were not calm, they guessed that Xu Jingheng must have taken action, so they dealt with things faster, some innocuous ones should be discarded, and all the valuables were collected.
Other officials in the DPRK and China followed suit. For a while, such deeds were circulating throughout the market, saying that the inspector was finally going to act after taking office. The people of the capital are also curious, wanting to see what Zhao Gou does.
Even if this matter has nothing to do with them, it is just a partisan dispute in the officialdom, but they also know that the successive superintendents of the imperial history are just a false appearance, a false name, and have no right to intervene in trouble, and the real control is still in the hands of the emperor.
Regarding the emperor's behavior, the people of the capital had mixed reviews, and Zhao Gou was still indifferent when he heard these rumors, and he was still in the court, and he never reported anything. At the beginning, those officials with a bad style suspected that Zhao Gou was also scaring them, and they didn't dare to act at all.
Zhao Gou turned a deaf ear and ignored it, thinking about what to do next. After all, there are too many officials in the court, and they only eat the court's money, and there are many officials who do not act, so they don't know how to start. According to Zhao Gou's temperament, I am afraid that all these people have already been expelled from the imperial court, and they strictly abide by the agreement of Song Huizong, so they cannot move the prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others for the time being.
"I'm afraid I still need to ask Lord Xu to do it!" Zhao Gou frowned, and didn't know how to start, thinking of Xu Jingheng, he hurriedly got up and ordered to go down, to go out, let people prepare a carriage, and then walked towards Xu Jingheng's mansion excitedly.
After a while, Zhao Gou came to a mansion, saw that the door was closed, and didn't think much about it, so he asked Steward Wang to knock on the door. After a while, the door on the right side opened, and a family member walked out of the mansion, he looked up at Zhao Gou and Steward Wang, and said in surprise: "Who are the two?" ”
Steward Wang said: "Go and report to your master, just say that the superintendent of the imperial history is coming to the door!" ”
The man was taken aback, trembling and said, "Wait a while, and the villain will go to report to the master!" ”
Sure enough, after a while, the door opened again, only to see Xu Jingheng coming in a hurry, he heard that the next person said that it was to supervise the imperial history, he was stunned for a long time, and came over after relieving himself, not daring to have the slightest delay, and said respectfully: "It is an honor for Lord Yushi to come to the official mansion, please come in!" ”
Zhao Gou was not polite, so he followed Xu Jingheng and walked in, while Steward Wang put the carriage outside, handed it to the man, and then followed straight up.
Xu Jingheng led Zhao Gou to the side room, knowing that Zhao Gou had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and asked straight to the point: "Isn't Lord Yushi suspected that the lower officials were corrupt and perverted the law?" Or did you come to the government because of other things? ”
He was a little curious, how did Zhao Gou come to his house to find himself, on the one hand, he was flattered, and on the other hand, Zhao Gou's behavior made him a little incomprehensible. Even if Xu Jingheng's observation ability is relatively weak, he has been in the officialdom for several years and is well versed in personnel.
Zhao Gou said respectfully: "Lord Xu is the former superintendent of the imperial history, you know more about some things than me, and I am here to teach you a lesson or two." ”
Xu Jingheng was stunned, they had seen each other for less than half a month, and they always felt that Zhao Gou was a little unusual, and he didn't want to say it clearly, that would be Zhao Gou's loss of face and identity. However, Zhao Gou never cared about these virtual things, what he really cared about was how to start.
"My father once told my official that if you encounter something that can't be solved, you should ask Lord Xu more." Zhao Gou didn't say anything, but Xu Jingheng understood, was slightly stunned, and heard Zhao Gou say: "Many people are former superintendents of imperial history and are well-informed, and what I need is Lord Xu's advice." ”
Xu Jingheng was stunned, a little suspicious in his heart, he didn't think Song Huizong would say this, if it was really so, he didn't have to go from supervising the imperial history to being reduced to a deputy supervising imperial history, specifically assisting Zhao Gou in handling the case. However, when Zhao Gou said so, he couldn't shirk it, so he bowed down and said, "If your lord asks the lower officials about something, you might as well speak up?" ”
At the beginning, Zhao Gou swore that he was methodical, and he personally came to the door to ask for advice, which made his face a little embarrassed, but when he thought of serious things, he didn't have the heart to take care of them, and said: "These days, I have been thinking about how to start? Although the duty of supervising the imperial history is to inspect hundreds of officials, it can also be overt and covertly visited and collect evidence, but there is no direction? ”
The corners of Xu Jingheng's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Without any direction? ”
"Yes, I don't have a direction, and I don't know how to act, so I ask Lord Xu to give me a lesson or two!"
Rao is Zhao Gou is thick-skinned and embarrassed, but he still explained the intention of this visit, if you really want to start, it is not without a way, but after thinking about it, it is better to start from the right path first, exposing your power too early, I am afraid that it will backfire, so I can only come to ask for advice.
