Many times, when we see the faint monarch Chongxin traitorous ministers confusing the country, most of them will say that this son of heaven is too stupid, and he has no eyesight, and the person you favor can see at a glance that he is a big villain, such as Zhao Gou, you are blind, and you can't see such a traitorous person as Qin Hui?

However, when you are really in the middle of the event, you will know how difficult it is to recognize a person.

It is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, it is difficult to recognize a friend on weekdays, not to mention that as an emperor, you must recognize a courtier who always wears a mask on his face.

There was never a shortage of loyal ministers around the emperor, and there was never a shortage of traitorous ministers.

But as an emperor, it is not easy to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and perhaps in the eyes of some emperors, his courtiers are not traitors, but seek different methods.

It was in Zhao Yan's opinion at this time that there were no traitors in the courtiers standing in front of him, but their different interests and different positions caused this kind of contradiction, and then involved themselves.

Therefore no man's word can be trusted, and no one's word can be disbelieved.

Zhao Yan pondered for a while before asking, "Where is Li Julu, who beat people?" ”

Li Fengwu was about to respond, but he heard Gou Yue say loudly: "Back at the official's house, Li Julu, the evil servant of Chengshilang, has absconded in fear of crime. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned, Li Fengwu made a faint move.

Li Fengwu was also stunned, your sister, it turned out that the other party was spying on her, and she actually made a charge of absconding for Julu, and said with a wry smile: "Back to the official's house, Julu did not abscond, but sent him back to Jiankang to do some trivial things, and returned to Lin'an immediately after finishing it." ”

It's a fact.

After all, Zhao Yan is the embryo of the lord of Zhongxing, of course he can guess what Li Fengwu wants to do, at this point, if he wants to save himself, he can only invite our Zhang Shuxiang, but the problem is that Zhang Jun does not have his own call, what excuse does he have to return to Lin'an?

Zhao Yan was a little dissatisfied with this. It is such an important matter to garrison the two Huai, how can it be delayed because of this, but after thinking about it, the two countries of Song and Jin are negotiating, and Zhang Jun seems to be harmless if he moves around a little.

Nodding, "I'll believe you once." ”

This is what it means not to arrest Li Julu for the time being.

Chen Shen quit. "The official family, the undertaker is clearly an excuse, then Li Julu must be afraid of absconding, and he will not be arrested quickly, I am afraid that there will be another Song Jiang Fangla."

Li Fengwu sneered, "Under the rule of the official family, the mountains and rivers are clear, doesn't Chen Xijiu's words mean that the official family is immoral?" ”

Whenever there is a civil uprising, it is always necessary to say that the emperor is wrong to lose morality, if Li Julu becomes Song Jiang Fangla. This is tantamount to a slap in the face to Zhao Yan, and Li Fengwu keenly grasped this point to refute.

Zhao Yan snorted coldly.

Chen Shen was taken aback and defended in a panic, "The minister didn't mean that." ”

Zhao Yan waved his hand, "This matter still needs to be investigated by many parties, and it is not appropriate to make a conclusion. Transferred to the forbidden army to take care of it, and you can't leave unless you want it. No one is allowed to enter the Wutong Commune unless I have the will of the people. ”

Chen Shen was anxious, "Official, the evidence of this matter is conclusive......"

Xie Shengtang on the side didn't know if he had a bad throat, he coughed, Chen Shen suddenly woke up and hurriedly closed his voice.

Zhao Yan glanced at Xie Shengtang. But he was not to blame.

He also said: "I will send the Imperial City Division to investigate this matter, so please go back." Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Fengwu, and the meaning in his eyes was that you should stay for a while.

Chen Shenda was unwilling. Cheng Dachang was relieved.

However, some people were very uninterested, "Official, this matter should be transferred to the Criminal Department." "According to common sense, the Imperial City Division is generally not responsible for adjudicating cases......

Zhao Yan sighed and asked rhetorically: "Does Gou Siye think that the Imperial City Division can't do this?" ”

I really can't trust the Criminal Department or the Lin'an Mansion in this matter.

The Imperial City Division is the secret service organization of the Southern Song Dynasty, and its responsibilities are similar to those of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, but it is not so well-known in history, and the harm caused is far inferior, mainly because the Imperial City Division is only responsible for reconnaissance, and generally does not care about specific cases, so it cannot infringe on the relevant judicial organs. The criminals it arrests are generally transferred to the Lin'an Prefecture for processing, and they have no jurisdiction or prison for their own trial, so the possibility of perverting the law is much smaller.

The Imperial City Division was more trusted by the emperor than the Criminal Department, and Gou Yue's proposal to transfer it to the Criminal Department really made Zhao Yan unhappy.

Gou Yue was squeezed and could only be speechless.

I can't really say that the Imperial City Division is inferior to the Criminal Department, in that case, I will offend the two big men of the Imperial City Envoy, which will make Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo very unhappy with themselves.

The Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Pavilion and the Imperial Equipment.

This happens to be the responsibility of Long Dayuan and Zeng Mao, Gou Yue knows that these two people are not good at stubble, and they are one of the most trusted people in the official family.

For example, when Taizong suspected that the officials of the granary in the suburbs of Beijing were cheating, he sent the Imperial City Division to infiltrate the reconnaissance in disguise, and there was indeed corruption.

If Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo resented themselves, they would not be able to eat and walk around at that time.

When everyone left, Li Fengwu waited for Zhao Yan to ask.

Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to him, but dealt with government affairs first, and Xie Shengtang on the side didn't dare to speak, just now coughed and reminded Chen Shen that he had overstepped his duties, and the fact that the official didn't blame him didn't mean that he didn't mind.

However, even if Xie Shengtang knew that the official family would mind, he would still cough and remind Chen Shen.

Of course, Xie Shengtang was not for Chen Shen, but felt that if Chen Shen continued to entangle, he would inevitably make the officials angry and hurt his liver, Xie Shengtang, as the most loyal eunuch, was primarily thinking about Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan also understands this, so he didn't make a sound, if he even blames Xie Shengtang for this, then can he still have a confidant?

After dealing with a lot of accumulated affairs, it was getting late, Zhao Yan looked up at Xie Shengtang and asked, "Are the people from the Imperial City Division here?" ”

Xie Shengtang replied: "Great official, Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo have been waiting outside the hall for a long time. ”

Zhao Yan waved his hand and announced that the two of them had entered the hall.

After Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo entered the hall to salute, Zhao Yan was not in a hurry to explain, but looked at Li Fengwu.

Li Fengwu's legs were numb, I really don't understand what our master of Zhongxing has to do by leaving him, you have to lock up my feet and put it into action, why are you hanging me here.

Zhao Yan suddenly said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Fengwu thought for a while, and then said sincerely: "People's hearts are sinister, and I feel that my IQ is not enough. ”

Zhao Yan smiled, but he couldn't see any emotion, "To what extent does this make Cheng Shilang feel that people's hearts are sinister, and his consciousness is not enough, if he really wants to go to the first level of scholars in the future, he will intrigue all day long, why don't you have to cry to me every day." ”

Li Fengwu was overjoyed, Zhao Yan's words were very interesting.

Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo, who were very capable of figuring out the Sacred Heart on the side, also muttered in their hearts, the official family's words meant something, and he was reminding me to wait, Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo were in charge of the Imperial City Division, and of course they knew what was happening today.
