Chapter 115: Reinstatement of Le'an
Ting Wei said to Emperor Ling, "Jiang Sheng is waiting outside the hall. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Pass him in."
Jiang Sheng has suffered a lot in the prison, the prison is full of criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes or criminals who have been tried by the imperial court, those jailers have never seen it at any level, Ququ is a Jiang Sheng, a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, and he will definitely not let him have a good time.
When Emperor Ling saw Jiang Sheng's haggard appearance, he regretted it greatly, but thinking of Empress Dowager Dong's explanation, he still faced Jiang Sheng with a straight face.
"Minister Jiang Sheng knocked to see the emperor." Jiang Sheng had never been treated like this before he crossed over, but the situation was like this, and he had to adapt to the environment.
"Jiang Sheng, I have strictly examined and found out that your rebellion is purely false, and I still believe in you."
"Your Majesty! Thank you, Lord Long! Jiang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his life was saved.
"However, you have a relationship with the thief chieftain, and you also set up a monument inscription for him, which is also a big crime, I remember that you are loyal, great achievements, and you will be lightly dismissed, you should be back to Le'an Taishou."
Jiang Sheng talked with Liu Tao and Chen Tan many times in prison, and knew that he had committed a big taboo for Zhang Baiqi to erect a monument, which was a capital crime, but he didn't expect Emperor Ling to pardon himself so much, but he was deprived of his position as a general in peace.
"Thank you!" Jiang Sheng kowtowed, which can be regarded as saving the day. As long as you go to Le'an, it is like letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the county officials and salt officials who Shaofuqing installed in Le'an should leave.
After Jiang Sheng worshiped Emperor Farewell, he left the palace and returned to the Songhe Tower.
Zhen Yan was very happy to see Jiang Sheng coming back, and hurriedly ordered the maids to serve Jiang Sheng to bathe and change clothes.
Jiang Sheng said: "Brother Zhen, there is no need to be like this, I still have a big thing to do." β
Zhen Yan said: "I don't know if Brother Jiang has anything else important, can he get help from below?" β
"Doctor Liu Tao and former Situ Chen Tan committed suicide by biting their tongues in prison last night, I was in the same room with them, but I couldn't save them, I am ashamed!"
History records that Liu Tao died of hunger strike, Chen Tan was murdered and died by the people of the Ten Standing Servants, Jiang Sheng crossed the history, these two people were angry because they failed to clear Jiang Sheng's name, and they saw through the situation of the court, and they were depressed in their hearts, and they committed suicide by biting their tongues at night. Jiang Sheng didn't notice anything abnormal, and only found out after dawn in the morning that the two of them had already lost their breath.
"Brother Jiang doesn't have to blame himself too much, they Qingliu Party members have always been high, and begging for death may be a relief, not all because of Brother Jiang."
"Although the two seniors committed suicide, it was caused by me, what I can do is to bury them, comfort their families, and make amends."
Zhen Yan went to the prison to dredge up the relationship, so that he was able to pick up the bodies of Liu Tao and Chen Tan, and the relatives and friends who had been waiting for a long time wept, and Jiang Sheng wrapped his head in white silk and walked in the coffin.
The deaths of Liu Tao and Chen Tan shocked the subjects of the world, and the scholars everywhere were all moved to tears, and their resentment against the ten permanent servants gradually came out, but these literati and students were powerless, and could only look up to the sky and sigh.
Although the ten permanent servants hated Jiang Sheng, they did not dare to arouse the anger of the people, and the funerals of the two elders were held smoothly, and thousands of people in the empty alleys of Luoyang City came to see them off.
In order to prevent changes, the captain of the city gate sent a large number of guards to maintain order, and the bodies of Liu Tao and Chen Tan were able to leave the city smoothly, according to the family's wishes, they wanted to go back to their hometown for burial, Jiang Sheng asked Zhen Yan to provide all the necessary help, and the children and grandchildren of the Liu family and the Chen family thanked Jiang Sheng before leaving.
This incident made all the scholars in the world remember Jiang Sheng, not for anything else, just for this righteousness.
The Zhen family took a risk in this matter and eliminated Jiang Sheng's vigilance, Jiang Sheng handed over the task of staying in Luoyang to collect intelligence, and Zhen Yi instructed Zhen Yan to do what Jiang Sheng said.
Although it was the end of the year, Jiang Sheng didn't dare to delay, and after explaining everything, he took Yu Ban to Le'an.
Xiahoulan has been in Le'an for more than half a year, and it has not been smooth, Juncheng Wang Jin and Yanguan Duan have relied on the protection of Shaofuqing, and have repeatedly given Xiahoulan problems, and then they simply set up Xiahoulan, although Yang Feng commanded a security team of more than 200 people, but he could not use force openly.
Jiang Sheng instructed that Shaofuqing was in charge of the emperor's money, and if he offended him, it would not be conducive to Jiang Sheng's peaceful actions, so Xiahoulan had to endure the humiliation, and then simply did not ask about political affairs, and drank and had fun with Yang Feng every day.
Wang Jinjuan asked Xiahou Lan to be dismissed from his position as acting taishou in an attempt to replace him. But Shaofuqing still denied it, Jiang Sheng now holds military power, Jizhou and Le'an border, offended Jiang Sheng, if the army intervenes, it will be more than worth the loss.
Zhang He and Deng Mao secretly trained according to Jiang Sheng's intentions, so Wang Jin didn't know that there was still this team.
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Sheng returned to Linji County, and Xiahou Lan, Yang Feng, Wang Jin, and Duan Zhi all came to greet him.
Jiang Sheng showed the edict of Emperor Ling, and Xiahou Lan took the initiative to resign from the position of acting Taishou and returned the seal ribbon to Jiang Sheng. Since the county has been held by Wang Jin, Xiahoulan has no official position.
On the night after his arrival, Jiang Sheng greeted Xiahoulan, Yang Feng, and Yu Ban on the reason of the reunion of his brothers, Wang Jin and Duan Zhi stared angrily, it stands to reason that the new Taishou is in place, and it should be taken over by the officials of the county guard, but Jiang Sheng is so ignorant.
During the meal, Xiahoulan and Yang Feng respectively reported on the situation in Le'an County in the past six months, and the more Jiang Sheng listened, the more angry he became, and secretly determined to try to get rid of Wang Jin and Duan Zhi.
On the second day, Jiang Sheng put on his official uniform and officially took office. The king of the county did not report on time.
"Someone, go and ask Wang Juncheng to come and talk."
It was almost noon, and this Wang Jin came over to see Jiang Sheng with a yawn, and he was full of alcohol.
Jiang Sheng said: "Juncheng will really enjoy it, seeing that the New Year is over, it's not an auspicious thing for you to sleep like this." β
Wang Jin said lazily: "Oh, Lord Taishou, do you know that it is very rude to disturb people's sleep? β
Jiang Sheng suppressed his anger and sneered: "Hmph, does Lord Juncheng know that lazy government is a behavior that damages the imperial court?" β
Wang Jin smiled: "The imperial court? I only know the young minister, but I don't know the imperial court. β
Jiang Sheng smiled: "Jun Cheng is really loyal, but he doesn't use a place." Lord Shaofuqing is one of the nine secretaries of the imperial court, and you are my subordinate official of Taishou, the court can cure the sins of Jiuqing, and this Taishou can cure you for the sins of the county! Come, take down this sinner who has no court and deceives the king! β
When Wang Jin heard this, he woke up most of the time, and then remembered that he had just made a disrespectful remark and caused a big disaster. There were more than 30 people who came out of the back hall, including the subordinates of the Taishou Mansion, the soldiers under Yang Feng, and the people who were invited.
The main book recorded the testimony and asked everyone in the hall to sign and sign it, which confirmed Wang Jin's arrogant remarks.
Jiang Sheng ordered Yang Feng to temporarily put Wang Jin in prison and put him under strict supervision, and then sent someone to invite Duan Zhi. Duan Zhi is a salt official, and he has no obligation to go to the Taishou Mansion to order Mao, but he was also asked by Jiang Sheng to meet.
