Chapter Ninety-Four: The Unjust Case of Dongchang

……

After a few days, the official good news of Yang Dingshan's army finally arrived. The court was also full of joy. Whether it is a corrupt official or a virtuous and loyal general, they all hope to win this war. Because everyone, in this matter alone, is mostly in the same chain of interests, and the whole country is really cholera. That made the court officials who were rich in land want to cry without tears.

In this way, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare various celebration banquets. The Ministry of War began to count the gains and losses of the war and the merits of the soldiers and soldiers, and the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to settle the merits and demerits of certain officials and generals in this turmoil. Everything is in order.

However, some discordant voices began to spread. What to say that Yang Dingshan was proud of his achievements and secretly hid the spoils of the Thai and Semi-war. Someone said to Zhao Zheshen that Yang Dingshan was already the governor of the Chinese military and the governor of Zuo, and after the big victory this time, his merits far exceeded that of other governors. There are also rumors that Yang Dingshan is ready to hold the army hostage and respect himself.

These chaotic rumors and excerpts made Zhao Zhe feel a burst of light. As soon as the battle was won, some villains hiding in the shadows began to fan the flames. What's more, what the fuck is this? It's just a matter of killing some and catching some people. Those who say that Yang Dingshan wants to support the army and respect himself are afraid that most of them are people with ulterior motives and confusing the public.

Let's not mention that the Great Zhao Empire usually does not have generals, and the commanders of various troops, Ping Yueli, are not qualified to command the army. Most of these 300,000 troops were temporarily drawn from various units. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he can command the army to march to Kyoto, then he will still want the lives of hundreds of people from the top and bottom of the family who stayed in the capital according to the regulations? He Yang Dingshan is over sixty years old, can he lose the surnames of many wives and concubines and children and grandchildren?

Those remarks were clearly a provocative ploy. I am afraid that after Yang Dingshan won such a big battle, he will be reused by the emperor from then on, which will affect the interests of other armies.

Zhao Zhe secretly ordered to appease Yang Dingshan, but on the other hand, he was secretly investigating and arresting the rumor-mongers in Dongchang, and finding the source of the gossip. First, Zhao Zhe did intend to suppress some rumors, lest a group of villains think that they have a problem with their IQ and can use them casually. Second, it is also to test the loyalty and ability of the East Factory after being cleaned and subdued. Some ineffective and half-hearted people can take this opportunity to purge again. Zhao Zhe has been the emperor for a while, and gradually began to understand that the ability of his subordinates can be worse, but they must not be disloyal.

In a few days, Dongchang, which had been holding back for a long time, secretly caused a bloody storm in the capital. There were hundreds of people who were secretly arrested, interrogated, and even directly executed by Dongchang because of the rumors. Including the four ministers of civil and military affairs who directly wrote to Zhao Zhe, they were also put into prison by Dongchang, and under the extremely cruel torture, three of them were really very suspicious. But one of them had something wrong, because he also participated in Yang Dingshan's book, and reprimanded him for using his troops viciously, killing too heavily and killing many prisoners, which violated the way of benevolence and righteousness.

Zhao Zhe still remembers that after seeing this fold in Yang's surname Zhai, he threw it aside with some anger. After all, Yang Dingshan was the general he had appointed, and he even advocated killing all the prisoners at the beginning, if he hadn't been persuaded to do so, I was afraid that none of these prisoners would have to be left. Many officials know about this. This ginseng Yang Dingshan is accused of being so guilty, isn't he also accusing himself of being too murderous?

However, it is only an excerpt. Zhao Zhe was not so stingy that he wanted to trouble him for such a fold. However, it seems that because of the little duozi who was waiting on the side, Zhao Zhelong's face was displeased. In this Dongchang operation to curb rumors, this person was also arrested, and after a torture, it was found that he did not deliberately spread any signs of rumors. Then he was released again, and whoever thought that he had just released the second day would die with a whimper.

This person is the champion Sun Shao who won the year before the death of the old emperor three years ago, and is currently being revised by the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Officials are planning to make him a five-grade attendant bachelor, and he is only twenty-seven years old. It's a promising future. Yu Shilin is quite famous.

If it's a mere former champion, it's just a matter of paying it back. If the torture is excessive, the wrongful killing is the wrongful killing. This partial-born Sun Shao turned out to be the grandson-in-law of the old guy in the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and the son-in-law of Dali Temple Qing Teng Chong.

Teng Chong's person is better, according to Jinyiwei's secret investigation, this person can be regarded as a Qing official, with a righteous surname and no nonsense of his old father. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Zhe really didn't like his father Teng Yu, he wouldn't have been on his reuse list.

But that Teng Yu is not only the imperial history of the right capital of the Imperial Palace, but also the veteran of the Three Dynasties. What's more, this person is messing around. But even Jin Yiwei couldn't find anything wrong with him. He is not corrupt, he does not accept bribes, and he does not have a very clear alliance for personal gain.

Last time, Zhao Zhe picked a small stubble, and after being beaten, he stopped at home for several months. However, this old man's muscles and bones are really strong, and even many young people can't bear the responsibility of the court staff, at least they have to raise it for half a year. He was good, and after a few months, he came to the court again, still not giving Zhao Zhe face, and from time to time he bumped into a few words in front of him.

Several times, when Zhao Zhe was angry, he wanted to pull it out and cut it. But I can't find much of a handle on him, and sometimes his suggestions are still a little bit reasonable.

Now, his grandson-in-law has died in the torture of Dongchang, and he has been found to have been wronged. God knows, how the old immortal guy will make himself **.

Zhao Zhe lay in the Taishi chair, letting Peony and Iris rub their temples, and their eyes were closed to recuperate. And Xiao Duozi knelt down in front of Zhao Zhe with a pale face, and his head hit the ground heavily.

After hearing Xiao Duozi's explanation of the cause and effect, Zhao Zhe couldn't help but snort and reprimanded: "Xiao Duozi, you are really capable." The first time I did something big for me, I did it so beautifully. Who is Teng Yu? Don't you know? If Sun Shao really has some faults, it's fine. I can't be afraid that old immortal guy will give me a headache for a while. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid should die, it is the slave and the maid who are not in a good position." Xiao Duozi kowtowed again and again, and said with a face full of shame and indignation: "Please also ask the emperor to give the slave and maid a death, and then Teng Yu will not be held accountable." ”

"Fart." Zhao Zhe slammed the table and scolded angrily: "Death? Your mind is clogged with paste, huh? Or do you think I can't even keep a close attendant? I scolded you because I wanted you to have a long heart. He Sun Shao is innocent, so you can't pour some dirty water on him. Do you have to let him go and let him die when he goes back? You are in charge of Dongchang, not Dali Temple. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will definitely have a few more eyes in the future." Xiao Duozi still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"That's it, this time you also want to vent your evil anger for me, so you stabbed the old hornet's nest of the Fuji family." Zhao Zhe waved his hand and said, "Get up, go to the side and wait for me." ”
