Chapter 123: Showing Loyalty Is a Must
Xiao Jiading quickly calculated in his heart,—— use the criminal law to gain the emperor's appreciation, use poetry to gain Wu Zetian's favor, so as to become the emperor's favored minister, and when the time comes, say good things for Tang Lin and let him be reinstated, this is what Tang Lin let himself do. If you want to say that there is danger in this matter, you can't see what danger there is now, and if you want to say that there is no danger, you can't say that. But this is a danger that many people are willing to take.
Apart from this theoretical danger, there is no other danger to the point where it is discerned. With Tang Lin's ability to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, it is completely possible to push himself in front of the emperor. The question is, do you want to embark on such a road and become a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty?
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Since they have chosen to embark on a career in office, everyone hopes to go further and become a bigger official. Now this is an opportunity, after Xiao Jiading thought about it, he decided to seize this opportunity and make a career.
Xiao Jiading pretended to groan and asked, "Does the boss have any specific plans?" ”
"My plan is actually quite simple." Tang Lin thought about it, and decided to plan and explain the whole plan, "The first step, you have to handle the case well, especially the major and difficult cases, I will give you a special explanation to hand over such a case, and I will find an appropriate opportunity to let the King of Shu assassinate Li Ke and Li Wang Ye know about it." At the same time, you have to make use of all kinds of opportunities to show your poetry talent as much as possible, this time Yizhou Poetry Meeting, you must try to win the first place! Become the first talent in Yizhou, and moreover, you have to defeat Lu Zhaolin, the first talent in the capital! Do you know why he came to Yizhou at this time? Now I can tell you that I paid him a lot of money to come. It's part of my whole plan! ”
Xiao Jiading suddenly understood, for what Lu Zhaolin, the first genius in the capital, would come to Yizhou to join the poetry club of a state capital yamen, and compete with the poetry club of the county government, it stands to reason that he, as the first talent in the capital, generally participates in the poetry meeting in Yizhou as a special guest, and then performatively shows his poetry talent, and he really can't use his fame to fight against the local poets in Yizhou. The reason why he participated in the Poetry Society and promised to participate in the ring competition with the Shaocheng Bailu Poetry Society and the competition of the Yizhou Poetry Society was originally operated by Tang Lin in the back. Of course. He went up to Emei Mountain to help Zhishui Shitai seize the head. It shouldn't be Tang Lin's arrangement, it's just that Zhishui Shitai seized this opportunity and hired him heavily.
Tang Lin continued: "After you win the title of the first talent in Yizhou, the prince of Shu will personally award you with an award." I will mediate so that you can have a relationship with Prince Li. Win his favor. The ultimate goal is to become his staff. and with its leaning backbone. Prince Li is the third brother of the saint. The two have always been good friends. Every year, Prince Li has to enter the palace to meet the saint and reminisce about the past. At that time, you will bring a staff member who you rely on, and if you can become one of them, you will see the Holy One. Show your talents, and let the Holy Ones know your achievements in criminal law, and keep you by your side, then our plan will be successful. ”
Xiao Jiading thought to himself, this is just your wishful thinking, there are many uncertain factors in it, how can it be as simple as you think. The most important thing to the success of this plan is, of course, the play of his own talents, but it also depends on whether he can fall in love with Li Ke, otherwise, why didn't so many talented people in Yizhou become the staff of Prince Li's mansion? The next step depends on whether the emperor and Nawu Zetian appreciate themselves and the extent of appreciation, and at the very end, it depends on the emperor's own plans, whether they are influenced by the opinions of officials. This series, which link is missing, will be a failure.
Tang Lin is old in officialdom, and he also knows what Xiao Jiading thinks in his heart, but he didn't say it, for fear of damaging Xiao Jiading's enthusiasm. Therefore, it is said that it is the best result. And Xiao Jiading also understood this, and did not show this concern on his face, but said calmly: "This plan is very good, but the so-called plan is in people, and it is in heaven to achieve things." I can only do my best. ”
Tang Lin nodded and sighed, "Yes! Do your best, prepare for the worst, no matter how bad it is, I'll die of old age in Yizhou......"
Speaking of the most gloomy back, the voice is a little sad.
Xiao Jiading already knew that this Tang Lin would participate in the formulation of what was later called the "Tang Law and Discussion" two years later, that is, he should return to the capital in a year. That's for sure. Now that you know the result, you must pretend to work very hard in order to snatch the credit!
So, Xiao Jiading immediately stood up, patted his chest and swore an oath: "Boss, don't worry, since you value me so much and give me such a heavy burden, I am very grateful, and I will work hard to complete it, no matter what kind of difficulties I encounter, I will face the difficulties, overcome difficulties, and resolutely complete the task, even if I am broken, I will also help the boss to reinstate his post!" ”
These words were sonorous and powerful, and they landed soundly. Tang Lin was so moved that his eyes were slightly moist. He also got up and arched his hand: "Thank you!" ”
"Why did the boss say that, your official was reinstated, and I also rose to the top, and it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone."
"Haha" Tang Lin smiled, "One day, I will definitely promote and reuse you!" ”
"Thank you!" Xiao Jiading arched his hand.
This matter was settled, Tang Lin was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "You have successfully handled this serial rape and murder case, this is a very important achievement of yours, I will report it to Prince Li to deepen his impression of you." The case you are mainly grasping now is the murder case of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law Jiang Yuanzhong, this case Geng Changshi has been secretly manipulating, so the case has been shelved for a long time and cannot be handled, I have already reported it to Li Wangye, he is very angry and asks to complete the report as soon as possible. However, I heard that this case is very troublesome, and no scribe dares to touch Geng Changshi's tiger butt. Do you have the guts? ”
Jiang Yuanzhong is the brother-in-law of Geng Changshi, the state government, because of the conflict with the jealousy of the children of another big family, he stabbed the other party to death on the street, and also killed one of the other party's servants, injuring many people. The case has been happening for nearly a year, and the facts of the case are clear and the evidence is sufficient. But because he is Geng Changshi's brother-in-law, under Geng Changshi's interrogation, this case has been pressed, waiting for the imperial court to amnesty and sentence again, and he can get rid of the death penalty. When Xiao Jiading had just entered the Yamen, in order to rectify him, County Lieutenant Deng had arranged for him to undertake the case, but he used Tang Linhu's fake tiger power to push him away. A few days ago, he told Tang Lin about this matter, and Tang Lin asked the superintendent to intervene in the supervision, and the state capital Zhong Facao had to tell Kang County to order the trial as soon as possible. It is still under trial, and he has not inquired about this matter, but judging from the fact that the case has not yet been reported to him, the case should still be reviewed in the torture room.
Now Tang Lin asked him if he dared to touch Geng Changshi's tiger buttocks, Xiao Jiading stood up and patted his chest, and said righteously: "Since you have become a scribe in the torture room, you must enforce the law impartially, and you must be rich and noble, poor and lowly can not be moved, and mighty and unyielding!" No matter how old his qualifications are, how high his status is, and how powerful he is, as long as he violates the royal law, he must be brought to justice, and the prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is just the brother-in-law of Changshi. Don't say it's the tiger's buttocks, it's the hair on the tiger's mouth, and I dare to pluck it! ”
This kind of high-sounding words, Xiao Jiading has long been familiar with the various political studies before the crossing, and blurted out. Now that Tang Lin has said that Li Ke, the king of Shu, is highly concerned about this case, with the prince of Shu and Tang Lin behind him, what is his little long history? Xiao Jiading is naturally not stunned. Besides, the meaning of Tang Lin's words is already very clear, that is, let himself take on this case, so as to make himself famous. He has already set the tone, where is there room for negotiation, since there is no choice, it is better to bet them all, so these words are impassioned and righteous.
"Well said!" Tang Lin praised it, "Okay, you have to urge them to come up with their opinions as soon as possible in this case, and remind Kang County to close the case as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" ”
"Understood, boss, please rest assured, I'll handle this matter as soon as I go back!"
——————————————
The next day, when Xiao Jiading went to the office, he saw that the county officials looked a little strange when they saw him, and they discussed it in private. Of course, he knew that it was because of his own limerick poem yesterday. I didn't think about it.
As soon as Xiao Jiading arrived at the county government office to sign the detention room, he asked the scholar Wen Yan to call Wen Youde, the county lieutenant who was acting for the torture room, to inquire about the progress of the trial of Jiang Yuanzhong's intentional homicide case.
As soon as Wen Youde came in, his face was full of sadness, and he whispered to Xiao Jiading: "Zhiyi, you can help come up with ideas." I'm dying of sorrow. ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jiading asked curiously.
"Alas! It's not Jiang Yuanzhong's case! ”
Xiao Jiading asked Wen Yan to call him just now, but he didn't explain anything, but he didn't expect Wen Youde to spit out his bitterness first when he came up and said about this case, Xiao Jiading was a little strange, and said, "What's wrong with this case?" ”
"Alas! It is known that this case is Geng Changshi's brother-in-law, and no one dares to offend Geng Changshi, so he is unwilling to handle it. Lao Tzu forcibly handed it over, and they didn't come to the government because they were sick. So it has been delayed until now, and this case has not been settled, Kang County Order has been questioned twice, and if I don't get rid of it, I'm afraid that I will be unlucky! Xiao Zhiyi, you can help me! ”
Xiao Jiading didn't expect this to be the case, and joked: "You won't ask me to take on this case, right?" ”
Wen Youde was shocked, and hurriedly got up to give a salute: "Don't dare, I'll do it myself, and I won't dare to hand over this thankless case to you and take over it." ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I want you to talk to the Kang County Order, and the Kang County Order will issue a clear order to find excuses to shirk the assigned cases, and those who will be dismissed on the spot, and get out of the way! Otherwise, these bunnies wouldn't have done it. ”
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "That's not good, aren't you forcing the brothers in the torture room to death?" ”
"I can't help it, otherwise, I really can't think of a way." (To be continued......)
