Chapter 51 Errands
There was silence in the hall, everyone didn't dare to breathe, their eyes looked at the prince on the first seat and Li Hui who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, the prestige of the 'Lord of Yama' has spread to Jiangnan along the river, in order to find a 'young lady' so big thing, he can make a fuss in Beijing, and now he fools the emperor with fakes, and he still doesn't eat the skin of Li Zhifu
'Click...' Zhao Ta tapped a few cases with his fingers, his squinting eyes suddenly opened, his sharp gaze swept over, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, and his gaze fell on Li Hui the most, "Governor Li, do you know the guilt" His voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and everyone felt a cold to the bone.
"Xia Guan is guilty, Xia Guan should die" Li Hui heard the prince's question, his heart was cold, he felt that his waist was weak, and he was weak, if he didn't support it with two hands, he was afraid that he would lie on the ground, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the auspicious Rui to be promoted, who knew that he was proud of such a big mistake, why did he forget that the paint was dried, and then soaked in water would crack.
"Lord, Governor Li deceived the king, the crime is unforgivable, and even the lower officials have been deceived by him" Song Qiaonian wanted to steal the merit just now, but now that the matter is exposed, he hurriedly picked himself out.
"Song stayed, do you really not know about this?" Zhao Ta turned his face to look at Song Qiaonian and said slowly.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials really don't know" Song Qiaonian didn't dare to look at the prince, and replied with his head bowed.
"Hmph, as a left-behind guard in Nanjing, if your subordinates commit such a big crime, you can't escape the responsibility of negligence," Zhao Tan slapped the table and shouted.
"Lord Wang, Xiaguan and Cai Xiang are sons and daughters, for Cai Xiang's sake, please ask the prince to give Xiaguan some face" Song Qiaonian was hard in the background, but he was not very afraid of Zhao Ta, so he leaned over and said in his ear.
"Oh, you and Cai Xiang are in-laws?" Zhao Ta said with a look of knowing the truth, Song Qiaonian stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "It's not okay if you are his son, get out of here" Song Qiaonian was taken aback by the prince's drink, but he didn't expect this master to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, so he didn't pull off his beard.
What did Zhao Ta do, he no longer rested, he ascended to the hall overnight, and the trial was held in front of many subordinate officials in Nanjing and Songzhou, the facts were in front of him, and everyone wanted to rely on it, and he said the truth of the matter, and drew a charge on the confession, and he didn't have to go back to the house, Zhao Ta opened a single room for the two of them in the post house, in addition to not letting them out of the house, there were two more standing guards at the door, in fact, there was no difference from being at home.
That night, Zhao Ta wrote a recital, together with the confessions of the two and the 'auspicious rui', and ordered someone to take his token and return to Beijing to report quickly, and when the messenger sent by Song Qiaonian and the two went out, his recital had been put on the emperor's desk, and there was no time for them to find someone to dredge. After seeing Zhao Ta's recital, the saint was furious and demoted Li Hui to the deputy envoy of the Shanzhou regiment, and Song Qiaonian ordered him to go home to retire. At the moment of this order, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the officials in Beijing shouted, 'Great', fortunately, the emperor Shengming let Prince Yan out of Beijing, otherwise maybe who would be unlucky
Zhao Ta stayed in Yingtianfu for five days, and when he arrived at the holy decree to dispose of Li Hui and the others, he also received a special decree - the imperial pen edict. In the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty, all edicts had to be discussed by Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and then designated scholars to draft. During the time of Shenzong, some edicts were not jointly discussed by the Zhongshu Sect and the lower provinces, but were secretly drafted by the ministers. Cai Jing for his own convenience, pulled the banner as a tiger skin, according to which he invented the "Imperial Pen Secret Advance", asking the emperor to record his draft edict, called the "Imperial Pen Edict", violators to resist the emperor's order and punish the crime. In this way, the royal pen bypasses the restriction procedures such as refutation and admonition, and there are fewer rules and constraints, and it becomes one person who has the final say. Zhao Ta got the 'imperial pen', and he had the right to dispose of the camera, which is a veritable sword of Shang Fang.
As soon as he got out of Beijing, the emperor happily went to Master Li's house, but the building was already empty, and the fire was big, and Yang Jian and others were scolded. Several people immediately searched the capital, and after tossing for more than ten days, they didn't find anyone, and they also thought that they might have been taken away by Prince Yan, but where was Zhao Ji willing to believe it, he arranged so many beauties around his son, but they were all placed in the mansion as they were, how could he go to find the fireworks woman. At this time, Zhao Ta's recital was delivered, and Zhao Ji saw that the people in the place were connected to fool him, can he not be annoyed? I became suspicious of these people under him, and on the contrary, I felt that my son was more intimate and trustworthy than these ministers...,
Zhao Ta was happy, but some people panicked, Wang Hao, Yang Jian, Cai You and others were as angry as the emperor, their original intention was to drive Zhao Ta out of the capital, but they didn't expect it to be self-defeating now, and they didn't do anything to him, but they lost two cadres on their side, and they also took an old man. Jiangnan is the cash cow of these people, if Zhao Ta is allowed to investigate all the way, eight out of ten will be overturned, so at the same time as the holy decree is issued, several of their mansions are also messengers out of the city, and they go to Jiangnan to deliver letters.
.......
The Qincha fleet traveled all the way, all the way was a bloody storm, first a magistrate was double-opened, and he was just for a little sesame thing, that is, Shanglu said that the gods came to the house. Zhao Ta didn't need to go to know that this was nonsense, and when he arrived at that investigation, it was a trick that Nazhi County came up with in order to be promoted. He originally thought that the emperor would not come after a long journey, and the local government would come up to investigate, and this kind of thing would not be broken, and in order to show that the place was peaceful, he would also follow the coaxing. Take a step back and the emperor is coming, thinking that the gods will come and go without a trace, and there is no way to detect the truth or falsehood, but when he met Zhao Ta, he was asked about the flaws in just a few words, and he lost his hard-won job.
Then the unfortunate was the prefect of Bozhou, who said that a large tripod was found in the deep stream, which was an ancient auspicious rui, and someone should be sent to dig it out, so that the foreign body would not be buried in the prosperous era. Zhao Ji was of course overjoyed when he heard this, and issued an edict to let them properly protect and wait for the central government to come, and his son specially told him to transport Dading back before leaving. Zhao Ta arrived there, ordered to start work immediately, but after digging for three days, the creek was about to be dug into a canal, and the big ding was not yet visible, and then asked again to find out that he had made up this matter, and he didn't say anything about the dismissal first, and then reported to the central government, Zhao Ji was very unhappy, and rearranged a job for him - to manage Luzhou, and went there as a prisoner in labor reform.
One of them is even more talented, this person is still a deputy ministerial-level cadre -- the deputy envoy of Huainan found an eight-inch-long snake outside the city gate, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong, but he said that this snake was a divine dragon, and it was packed into a box and sent to the temple for offering. As a result, I don't know what happened to the road, the snake ran away, which frightened the local magistrate, and quickly reported it to him. The deputy envoy opened the box and saw that there was only one Kaiyuan Tongbao and one small green worm in it. It is said that 'the current manifestation of the dragon must be carried out through its kind, and the minister is in charge of the fortune of the master, and the one who shows the money is to indicate the flow of money springs, which is infinite in the world. It shows the green worm, its back and head are blue, and the gastropods are golden, green represents the east, indicating vitality, and gold represents the west, indicating that a good harvest is in sight...'
Zhao Ta was happy while watching, is this kid a delusional maniac, a green worm can make him a divine dragon, and he has a nose and eyes, but whether this is a divine dragon himself is really impossible to identify, and immediately packed it into a box for 800 miles and sent it to the capital urgently, so that the emperor can break it. Zhao Ji looked at his nose and was angry, who did he raise, and he repackaged it and threw it into the river, letting Shenlong enter the sea
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing these auspicious rays, Zhao Ta is numb, and even his own subordinates are not surprised. He then investigated and dealt with several auspicious incidents, which were relatively not outrageous, one was that hundreds of catties of raw gold flowed out of the mountain stream; One is a landslide, which collapsed out of tens of thousands of catties of crystal, Zhao Ta inspected the scene, but it was a mudslide caused by heavy rain, and the result was rushed out of the vein. But he felt that although they were exaggerating, he was not too bad, so he was assessed as a good official, recognized Xiangrui, reported to the central government, and gave him a reward. However, when he left, there were two more boxes of high-quality crystals in the cabin, which are good things for making lenses, so he should be charged a little review fee.
But I can also meet someone who spares no effort, he actually played a bumper harvest of sesame grass, and the mountains within a radius of ten miles are full of 'auspicious rui', with 300,000 copies. Zhao Ta didn't go to see it in person this time, and sent someone to arrest him, this method is known to everyone, and 20,000 catties of rice per mu are deducted from a mold, as soon as he asked this guy, he recruited, in order to cope with the inspection, he spent the treasury, bought tens of thousands of sesame grass, and mobilized all the staff of the government to go up the mountain to plant flowers and grass...
The boat crossed the Huai River, Zhao Ta slaughtered the freak under the cow again, and killed a master who turned stones into gold. The rhetoric is basically the same, they are all temporary workers who cause trouble, they do not hesitate to take risks in order to receive rewards, spread rumors, of course, they also have the crime of lax control and negligence, please punish Zhao Ta also in line with the principle of punishing the former and the latter, treating the sick and saving people, they were educated, and they were let go after being reprimanded. It's just that everyone found that when Qincha's boat went south to Chuzhou and turned into the Zhenchu Canal, the waterline moved down a lot, and the accompanying officials had thick waists, and they didn't spend money on buckle ropes
At this time, it has entered June, and the rainy season has reached Jiangnan, and the weather has become extremely hot, and the ship is even more humid. In the morning of this day, the fleet of ships marched along the canal to Changzhou, and the weather was gloomy and light rain, and the river was also foggy, and the visibility was very poor. Zhao Ta hid in the cabin to read, and suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the cabin, followed by a loud noise, he felt the hull of the ship shake violently, as if it had hit something, and the boat stopped ......,
