The prime minister is also worried and happy

The emperor missed his relatives when he was sick

Liuzheng's mood was extremely bad, and he moved from his home to Liuhe Pagoda outside the city to continue to "wait for the crime", and then write the resignation report. Three days passed, and there was still no movement, so he instructed his family to pack his luggage and prepare to return to his hometown in Yongchun, Jiangxi.

At this time, Zhao Ruyu, who knew the Privy Council, came. Say to him, "Teacher, what are you doing here, is it necessary to do this, what is wrong with you, to take the initiative to come here and deal with the sin?" ”

According to the usual practice, whenever an official is impeached, or in the event of a major natural or man-made disaster, the government is unable to rescue him, and the prime minister must go outside the city to wait for the emperor to deal with it. Liuzheng is more than ten years older than Zhao Ruyu, and Liuzheng admired Zhao Ruyu very much and recommended him to Xiaozong many times, therefore, in private, Zhao Ruyu did not call him an official position, but called a teacher.

Seeing Zhao Ruyu and listening to the words he said, Liuzheng couldn't help but cry, Lu Yao knew the horsepower, and he saw the hearts of the people for a long time, he stayed in the right way, and he never dreamed that it would end like this, the emperor ignored it, and no one in the court came forward, to be honest, he didn't even have a step to come back.

"Brother Zizhi, stay loyal to the country, suffer this tragic situation, it's really cold."

Zhao Ruyu smiled bitterly: "The emperor is not satisfied with the way of the son of man, and regards the government as child's play, so we have to do our best to maintain it." If the teacher hangs up and leaves, who else does the world hope for? Zizhi thinks that the teacher doesn't have to be so serious, and the Great Song Jiangshan still needs a minister like you. ”

Liuzheng held his hand tightly, "Those who know me, Zi Zhiye, what he said is very true, the old man listens to you."

The servant of the Criminal Department reported a letter of appeal through Yutang, and the matter should start with a ** case.

There is a scholar named Wang Silu in Gao'an County, Jiangxi, who is in his thirties, and after a long time of trying, he gave the surname Tao to a large family as a private school teacher, and his parents were mourned, and there were no children, so his wife Azhu followed him and lived in Tao's house together. There is a monk named Dust, who has a lot of dealings with the Tao family. Unconsciously, Quchen and Ah Zhu hooked up.

The Tao family and Wang Silu did not find out about this matter, and they were targeted and sued to the county government because they had a grudge outside because of the dust.

Zhang Ci, the magistrate of the county, and Wang Song, the county governor, sent people to arrest the monk and his little daughter-in-law for interrogation, and both of them were recruited. So Zhang Zhixian made a judgment: Tao Dahu, Wang Silu and Quchen were each beaten with 60 boards. Aju was exempted from the cane and acted as a camp prostitute.

Except for the dust monks, they all expressed dissatisfaction with this verdict and filed a complaint with Yunzhou.

Zhang Yan, the manager of Yunzhou, joined the army, checked the case file, and the facts were all there, and both of them confessed. It's just a matter of the verdict.

He found Wang Silu and asked him what his attitude was towards his wife, Wang Silu was reluctant to let his wife leave.

According to the civil punishment principle of "the people do not sue, the officials do not pay attention", Zhang Yan made the following modifications: 200 yuan of compensation for dust removal was given to Tao Dahu, Wang Silu took his wife Azhu back, left Gao'an, went to dust as a monk, committed the crime of **, was severely punished, and was escorted to serve in the Lingchuan County prison camp; The first judges, Zhang Ci and Wang Song, were fined 60 boards.

Liuzheng said: Zhang Yan's case was correctly adjudicated, and it conforms to the legislative principle of "participating in reasonableness" in our court. What's going wrong again?

This Zhang Ci is a son of a family, Zhang Jun's grandson, relying on someone in the court, to accuse Zhang Yan of accepting bribes from the Tao family and shielding **. The officials prepared to demote Zhang Yan to the county chief.

How can this be reasonable, the old man immediately sent someone to call the secretary to come to see who dares to come.

Li Ming, the secretary of the ministry, came belatedly and confidently told the prime minister that there was a reason for demoting Zhang to join the army. Afterwards, Zhang Yan's wife, Liu, received 500 Jiaozi from Tao Dahu. This matter has been verified by Shen Guangzu, the superintendent of the imperial history.

Liuzheng was puzzled, at the beginning, Shen Yushi went to verify Zhang Yan's bribery case, he knew, and after verifying, he had reported to the ministry, and the impression was that there was no problem, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Li Shangshu saw that the prime minister had nothing to say, so he dropped the list of personnel adjustment suggestions and left.

sent someone to find Shen Yushi, but Shen Yushi was not there.

Since the beginning of spring, Emperor Zhao Yan's body has become weaker and weaker, at first, he just had a cold and fever, and then he coughed non-stop. In addition to being sick, the Emperor Taishang also had a bigger heart disease. The current emperor is his kinsman, why he is afraid of him like a tiger, and he shirks for all kinds of reasons, and does not come to Beinei to see him, which makes him puzzled.

He had four sons in his life, and the other three have all left, and the father and son are connected and can no longer be lost. Actually, he is different from Gaozong. He didn't want anything else, he just wanted to see him often and talk, but he didn't even want to do this, so what was there to be sorry for as a father? What is wrong with the current situation, and what do the subjects of the world think?

Thinking of this, the old emperor suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in his chest, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

His queen, the current Queen Mother Xie Sufang, saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, wiped away her tears for him with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Official, why don't you go to Nannei with your concubine to see what the emperor is doing." ”

Emperor Taishang shook his head, "How can there be a reason for Lao Tzu to be sick and go to see his son." ”

The Queen Mother had no choice but to give up, and afterwards found the inner attendant Guan Li and asked him to report to Nannei.

After listening to Guan Li's report, the emperor was not surprised, but said that there were too many affairs at the moment, and he would definitely find time to go at the end of the month.

On that day, the emperor was in the inner hall to review the chapter, and Xie Shenfu, a Fujian scholar and a member of the matter, said in the chapter: Father and son are close to each other, and the reason is clear. Filial piety must be timely, the so-called son wants to support his relatives and does not wait, this is the most painful thing in the world. Now that the Emperor Taishang is old and the Holy Communion is ill, it is the best time to need you. Your Majesty, if you don't go at this time, when will you stay, I'm afraid that after a hundred years of the Emperor, Your Majesty will regret it.

Reading this, his heart seemed to be touched.

During the Chang Dynasty, Zuo Xiangliu was participating in the performance of Li Ming, the secretary of the ministry, and there was no distinction between right and wrong, and the party was the same and different. He has verified through Shen Yushi:

The so-called bribery of Zhang Yan is exaggerated and untrue. After Tao Dahu changed the sentence, he was grateful in his heart, and bought a basket of citrus to send to the Zhang family.

At that time, the Zhang family had only Liu and a servant at home. Seeing that it was a basket of citrus, Liu didn't care. After the incident, when Shen Yushi checked, the basket of citrus and Jiaozi was untouched.

Li Shangshu defended in court: It is always a fact that the Zhang family accepts gifts from large Tao households, if you understand that Zhang Gut accepts 500 yuan, how can it be so simple as demotion.

Seeing that Li Shangshu was about to refute again, the emperor stopped:

Okay, don't fight, Liu Aiqing is right, it is not appropriate to be too harsh in politics, Li Aiqing take down Zhang Yan's list.

Both of them bowed and thanked each other.

Obviously, Zhao Dian is in a good mood: stay in Aiqing and accompany me to the North to meet the Emperor Taishang.

Liuzheng was surprised: Okay, Cheng will gather the personnel.

Send someone to the palace to bring civilian clothes, change them in the side hall, the queen is not there, and bring King Jia and his wife. Accompanied by the chief minister and the minister, he went to the northern interior.

The sky is from people's wishes, the sun is shining, and the sky is clear. Emperor Zhao Dian accompanied his old father to slowly walk in the spring in the Jujing Garden, the Emperor Taishang was very relieved at this time, under the sun of early spring, he looked radiant and energetic, not at all like a person who was close to ancient times.
