Chapter 408: Coincidence?
Looking at Xu Chongguang's back as he gave a salute and then turned around and retreated, Lu Chengqi slowly returned to the dragon chair, feeling very tired in his heart. He also understands www.biquge.info strength of historical inertia, and it is not an overnight effort to bring down these vested interest groups. Today, I just confessed to Xu Chongguang alone, and I almost couldn't be fooled. With the implementation of the New Deal, it remains to be said whether or not it can withstand the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of these bureaucrats.
However, Lu Chengqi will not think that he will lose this battle, as long as he is firm enough to wave the butcher knife with his heart, who dares to disobey?
Outside the vertical arch hall, Xu Chongguang had just stepped out of the palace gate and met Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department. Xu Jingchun saw the cabinet chief assistant, and hurriedly saluted: "Xu Shoufu! ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Chongguang's resentment was not gone, and he did not answer, but snorted angrily and walked away. Xu Jingchun was angry for no reason, it was really confusing for the second monk, he maintained the elder courtesy, turned his head and looked at Xu Chongguang's back suspiciously, and wondered in his heart: "When did I offend this little old man?" After thinking about it, he offended more courtiers, and he didn't care about one more or less. was originally a lonely minister, and today he is all dependent on the holy family of the little emperor. As long as the little emperor reigns for one day, and his holy favor is not gone, it is impossible for anyone to pose a threat to him. He only needs to do things for the little emperor honestly and be a lonely minister, only loyal to Lu Chengqi's lonely minister.
After he straightened up, the little eunuch who was guarding outside the palace door asked softly, "Is Director Xu here to ask to see Your Majesty, and our family will go to tell Your Majesty for Director Xu." ”
Xu Jingchun hurriedly said: "There is Father-in-law Lao!" ”
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Director Xu, what do you say, our family still needs you to take care of it." Please wait a moment, and we'll come when we go. ”
Xu Jingchun watched the little eunuch bow down into the vertical arch hall, and after a while, he came out and said, "Xu Jingchun, director of the Propaganda and Supervision Department, is here!" Xu Jingchun hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then whispered: "Father-in-law, is Your Majesty happy or angry now?" ”
The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood, Director Xu should pay more attention to his words, don't anger Your Majesty again." ”
Xu Jingchun said sincerely: "My father-in-law's kindness will be repaid in the future!" With that, he stepped into the hall of the arch. Sure enough. The little emperor sat on the dragon chair and reviewed the folds, with a frowning appearance, and he was really not in a good mood. I think it was related to the conversation with Xu Chongguang just now, Xu Jingchun couldn't help but think so.
"Minister Xu Jingchun see Your Majesty. Your Majesty, St. Ann! The ceremony cannot be abolished, Xu Jingchun still gave a salute respectfully.
Lu Chengqi looked very impatient and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on with those officials?" ”
Xu Jingchun hurriedly handed over the fold hidden in his sleeve. said: "Back to Your Majesty, the officials stole power and manipulated government, engaged in personal fraud, encroached on people's land, extorted the people, forged tax books, and assisted the squires in evading taxes. What's more, they dared to pass on the squire's taxes to the households. Since His Majesty's rectification of officialdom, there have been many less. Kekuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Guangnan Road, Fujian Road, Jiangnan Road, etc. There are still similar cases from time to time, and the local people are very dissatisfied. However, the officials are all locals, and the civilians have no way to sue the officials, and there are already 100 people who have committed suicide......"
"Bang !!"
Before Xu Jingchun's words were finished, Lu Chengqi had already taken the case: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be true!" ”
Xu Jingchun was so frightened that his knees weakened, he fell to his knees, and said continuously: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry!" Such scum is not worthy of His Majesty's wrath. Your Majesty has to put the dragon body first! ”
Maybe others won't notice it, but Lu Chengqi won't forget that four of the five roads overlapped with the case of selling children. Is it a coincidence? It's certainly not that simple, what does that mean? Doesn't this just show that there are a lot of people in these roads, and they don't obey the king! As an emperor, how can you endure such a thing!
Now Su Shi is receiving a secret decree and serving as a secret messenger to investigate the case. Not long ago, it was rumored that someone wanted to harm Su Shi. Isn't this Ming Shu doing the right thing with Lu Chengqi. Qin Cha is the face of the Son of Heaven, not to mention whether Su Shi is okay or not, this alone is enough to arouse Lu Chengqi's anger.
Fortunately, this baby didn't have an accident with the future writer, otherwise Lu Chengqi would have gone crazy. finally suppressed his anger, and then sent the Supervision Department to protect him secretly, but finally there was no bad news.
Now that the Xu official case overlaps with the case of selling children and girls, how can Lu Chengqi not be suspicious? He immediately said: "Xu Qing, you immediately dispatch the inspectors, even if they are all scattered, you will arrest the criminals and put them in prison!" ”
Xu Jingchun knelt on the ground and said that he had the order. But he didn't dare to get up, and he didn't move. Lu Chengqi frowned: "What's the matter, if there is gold on the ground, it can't be up?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Jingchun hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, this case is very important, just based on Your Majesty's dictation, I'm afraid those filthy officials won't accept it......"
Lu Chengqi was also dizzy and almost forgot about this stubble. Don't say much, take a piece of rice paper, fix both sides with a dragon ruler, and then pick up the brush and wave it. In a short time, a holy decree has been prepared, and the jade seal of the country has great power. Lu Chengqi summoned the little eunuch and put the rice paper into the yellow silk cloth, which became a complete holy decree.
After letting the personal little eunuch hand over the holy decree to Xu Jingchun, Lu Chengqi said: "There can be no delay in this matter, you supervise the starry night and arrest the key culprits." ”
Xu Jingchun held the holy decree and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to the holy hope!" Then he turned and left.
"Wait, bring the evidence with you, and see what else they have to say!" Lu Chengqi stopped Xu Jingchun and instructed.
Xu Jingchun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
"Go ahead!" Lu Chengqi waved his hand, and waited until Xu Jingchun came out of the vertical arch hall before he sat down weakly, still muttering in his mouth: "This group of filthy officials who should be killed, they should be killed!" ”
How could the personal little eunuch ever see such a furious little emperor, like an enraged bull? Frightened, he hunched over and stood beside him tremblingly, not daring to take a breath. But it backfired, and Lu Chengqi noticed him: "Gao Hao, you are also from a poor family, tell me, what would you have done before when you encountered such corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" ”
This personal little eunuch is called Gao Hao, as Lu Chengqi said, he was born in a poor family. Because a large family couldn't survive, he was sent to the palace by his family and became a little eunuch. Originally, he was an inconspicuous little eunuch who was responsible for taking care of the imperial garden. Before Lu Chengqi took power, he killed the original personal eunuch with a cane, and no one served him before he was transferred to Lu Chengqi's side. It can be regarded as a chance meeting, Gao Haoyuan is also a smart person, and he has been accustomed to seeing things in the court in the past two years, and his growth is extremely amazing. Now I can hear the little emperor's question, although I am so frightened, I remember to tell the truth: "Back to Your Majesty, although the little one is from a poor background, it is not the government persecution, but the small family has nine sisters and brothers, and it is really impossible to support it, and the little one only enters the palace." His Majesty asked, and the little one did not know how to answer ......" (To be continued.) )
