Chapter 91: True and False County Orders
In the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood in front of the hall in two rows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday's Xuanzheng Hall is very lively, in addition to the civil and military officials, there are dozens of large and small mahogany boxes on the main hall, Zhu Mingyang stood next to the box, his eyes stared at Li Zhi as if he had something to report.
"What does that mean?" Li Zhi looked at the box and asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, Huayuan's murder case has been investigated, and the matter still has to start with Lord Du of Huayuan County and Jiang Zhutou, these two people used their power to continuously accumulate wealth, privately increased taxes on weekdays, and even used the divine doctor of Yaowang Mountain to collect money when the plague was rampant. Later, Huayuan's master Chen Dao found out that the two of them had stored their belongings in Huayuan's secret room, so they were killed, but after killing the two, the matter was also revealed, and they were detained by me and Lord Yin Liuyan Liu of Jingzhao Mansion. After Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, he opened the wooden boxes one by one, but when he saw that they were full of gold, silver and jewelry, there was a commotion among the civil and military officials in the hall, and they all started talking.
"Humph! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such a foolish official, what are the officials usually doing? Li Zhi was furious when he saw the chest full of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is derelict in his duties, please forgive your Majesty!" Suddenly, a person knelt down from among the hundreds of officials, but it was Chu Suiliang, the secretary of the ministry.
"Chu Suiliang, since you are a minister, how can you not be noticed?" Li Zhi's tone was extremely serious.
"Your Majesty, after the Huayuan case, Weichen looked through Huayuan's official register, and the Huayuan County Order appointed by the Ministry of Officials was not surnamed Du, but surnamed Fang Mingke, this person was born in the Ming Dynasty, with a good character, not a great evil person." It turned out that Chu Suiliang was also very concerned about Huayuan's case.
"You're saying it's a fake prefectural order? Where is the real prefectural order? And what is the identity of this surnamed Du? Although Li Zhi was very disgusted with Chu Suiliang and a group of old ministers, he still focused on the overall situation and wanted to find out the truth.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have ordered someone to check, and no trace of Fang Ke has been found, and the fake county order and the fake catcher have not been registered for naturalization, so I don't know who it is." At this time, another old minister walked to the center of the hall and knelt down. Zhu Mingyang glanced at it with the rest of his eyes, but it was Tang Jian, the head of the household.
"It seems that there is another unsolved case, this time it will not be pursued, you need to strengthen your precautions after you wait, I don't want such an incident to happen again, and all confiscated property will be confiscated." Li Zhi's tone of voice was very light, but it was very weighty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, remember!" Chu Suiliang and Tang Jian hurriedly knelt down to thank them, and they both pinched a cold sweat.
"Zhu Mingyang, although you are Sima of Yongzhou, you work in the Ministry of Industry, and this time you have seized the fake county order, thanks to Sheji, and you are promoted to be the waiter of the Ministry of Industry......" Li Zhijian suppressed Chu Suiliang and Tang Jian, two old ministers, and hurriedly took the opportunity to add an official to Zhu Mingyang.
"Absolutely not, the so-called no rules are not a circle, Your Majesty also knows that the imperial examination is the foundation of the country, if it changes because of Your Majesty alone, it is better to abolish the imperial examination." Suddenly, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said confidently.
"You, you, you ......" Li Zhi saw that there were still people who objected, and his eyes glared at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the atmosphere in the entire Xuanzheng Hall became tense.
"That's it! Zhu Mingyang, there will be a imperial examination at the beginning of spring next year, and I order you to be on the list. Li Zhi was not a faint monarch after all, he held back the anger in his heart and set his eyes on Zhu Mingyang, but his eyes were full of trust and encouragement.
"Yes, Weichen will not dishonor the emperor's order." Zhu Mingyang replied knowingly.
Seeing that Zhu Mingyang was full of confidence, Li Zhi nodded slightly.
After coming out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhu Mingyang did not return to his house, but walked straight to the Ganye Temple, he was eager to know something. In the Xuanzheng Hall just now, he deliberately hid Li Cheng's robbery, because he was afraid that Chen Shuozhen would be involved at this time. Therefore, Zhu Mingyang was eager to know the true face of this Li Cheng's Lushan.
"Sir, it's really good Yaxing." When Zhu Mingyang walked into the meditation room, Li Chunfeng did not fight crickets as before, but was holding an ancient book and flipping through it.
"Oops! What kind of wind blew Childe here? Li Chunfeng saw Zhu Mingyang coming, and hurriedly got up and served a pot of tea for Zhu Mingyang.
"I can't hide it, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss my husband more and more!" Zhu Mingyang sat down and said slowly.
"I think, the son has something to do with Zhong Wuyan, and there is nothing to do in the summer and spring!" Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
"It seems that I can't hide anything from Mr., I do have something to ask Mr. this time." Zhu Mingyang originally wanted to compliment Li Chunfeng, but who knew that Li Chunfeng was like studying psychology, and he saw himself through.
"I don't know what Childe asked?" Li Chunfeng put down the ancient book in his hand and replied.
"I don't know if you heard that there is a British duke in the court?" Zhu Mingyang remembered the door of Li Cheng's self-report.
"British duke? This British duke is Xu Shiyun who fought with the first emperor in the south and the north, and everyone calls him Xu Maogong, who was relied on by the imperial court as the Great Wall, but I heard that his health has not been very good recently, probably because he is already old. I don't know if Childe suddenly asked him? Li Chunfeng was puzzled by Zhu Mingyang's sudden question.
"Surname Xu? Isn't his surname Lee? Zhu Mingyang is like a monk who is confused.
"You don't know this, this British Duke is deeply trusted by Emperor Gaozong and the first emperor, and has made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, so Gaozong gave the surname Li, the name is the same as the royal family, which shows that not everyone can be this British prince." Li Chunfeng also seems to admire the British duke.
"So that's the case, does he have a son named Li Cheng?" Zhu Mingyang continued to ask.
"No, his only son Li Zhen died early, and there is only one grandson, named Li Jingye, who is now the assassin of Meizhou." Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and said.
"That's weird, who is that guy in white? Why pretend to be a descendant of an English duke. Zhu Mingyang kept thinking.
"Does Childe have something on his mind?" Li Chunfeng asked with concern when he saw Zhu Mingyang.
"Sir, here's how it happened......" Zhu Mingyang told Li Chunfeng about Li Cheng's treasure robbery.
"I think this boy in white should be the son of Li Jingye. Li Tao is very old, according to the age speculation, it should be more than ancient now, then Li Jingye should be almost the year of the Mandate of Heaven, so the man in white who saw it must be the son of Li Jingye. Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and said.
"Sir is really talented, I admire him very much." Zhu Mingyang stood up and clasped his fists with both hands.
"Haha, Childe has also become sleek!" Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
"It's all up to the teachings of the gentleman." After Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, the two laughed together.
