Chapter 193: Sue the Emperor
Chapter 193: Sue the Emperor
Hearing this, Ling Changtian also hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage.
"What grievances do you have?" His eyes widened as he looked at the few people kneeling in front of the carriage, displeased.
Although he has not been an official here for a long time, his prestige has long been spread.
Song Xinyi also watched from the sidelines, but did not speak, she did not ride in the same car with her father on the horse, she just wanted to see what grievances these people had to say.
"My lord, we are going to sue!" A few people finally saw Ling Changtian, and a little light flashed in their eyes.
"Who are you going to sue?" Ling Changtian had a straight face, a serious expression.
"We want to sue the prime minister!" The people glanced at each other, then arched their hands and said very seriously.
When Song Xinyi heard this, she "chuckled" in her heart, she was the prime minister again......
"How many of you are so bold, you dare to sue the prime minister?" Song Xinyi raised her eyebrows, she really felt that the few people in front of her didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
However, when she heard the prime minister's name again, she was also quite surprised.
Those people glanced at Song Xinyi and didn't dare to speak, but their eyes were full of determination.
Ling Changtian glanced at Song Xinyi sideways, but Song Xinyi didn't think so.
"Tell me first, what's going on?" He raised his hand and gestured to the men kneeling in front of the carriage to hear what was going on.
"My lord doesn't know, we are all villagers in the villages around Linzhou City, the prime minister ordered his subordinates to occupy all our fields, we can't cultivate now, we have no food to eat, but we have to bear harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, we really have no life, and now we can only fight, no matter how it is a dead end, maybe there is a glimmer of life to earn it."
These people are full of righteous indignation, and they are clearly forced to be anxious, and they are dead both horizontally and vertically, so it is better to fight for it, what if the bet wins?
Song Xinyi then understood what was going on, it seemed that this Prime Minister was really good, she thought that when she was in the capital, that Huang San didn't keep saying that he was the Prime Minister's person!
Song Xinyi thought in her heart and didn't speak again, watching how Ling Changtian handled this matter.
"Is there really such a thing?" Hearing this, Ling Changtian's face became even more embarrassed.
"What the grass people say is true! Please make the decision for us! Those few people looked determined, and they knelt on the ground all the time, looking like Ling Changtian didn't give them the decision, and they were really desperate.
"If you want to sue the prime minister, the official can't help you, for now, you can only go to Beijing to sue the emperor!" Ling Changtian was very serious, and his voice was also sonorous and powerful.
Song Xinyi really didn't expect her father to say these words, and she couldn't help but admire him a little.
Those kneeling people, you look at me, I look at you and think it's incredible.
Entering Beijing to sue the royal ...... They didn't even think about it.
Originally, he just hoped that Ling Changtian would be able to save them from fire and water, but now it seems that the prestige of the prime minister is not something that anyone can suppress.
"What else to consider? We just happened to be in Beijing, why don't we take you with us? Li Feng shook the horsewhip in his hand beside him, and he was also indignant for them.
"Really, that's great, thanks to a few of you!" Several people hurriedly got up from the ground and thanked Li Feng and Song Xinyi, as if they really saw hope.
Li Feng ordered someone to add a carriage and pull them together. Ranwen
She has always been jealous and hateful, and as soon as she heard them say that she wanted to sue the prime minister, she thought of what she had experienced before, especially in the capital, that damn Huang San!
Li Feng is very clear about the name of prime minister, and this time he wants to see how powerful this person can be.
The few people who wanted to file a complaint had already pinched the favorable evidence in their hands that the prime minister had seized their land and perverted the law, and they had already written the pleadings and made full preparations.
Along the way, with Li Feng's protection, no one dared to do anything to them at all.
The road was safe, and when they arrived in the capital, Ling Changtian arranged them first, and he quickly changed into court clothes and met the saint.
"Your Majesty!" Ling Changtian respectfully greeted.
The emperor hadn't seen him for a few years, and he was very satisfied to see Ling Changtian return.
"Aiqing is flat." The emperor raised his hand, "Aiqing's achievements in the past few years are obvious to all, you have done a very good job during the debriefing in Linzhou City, and of course you have also cultivated a pillar for my court!" Lingyun Bai is good, this year is the champion of the Golden Branch! ”
The emperor nodded to Ling Changtian again and again, and mentioned Ling Yunbai again, naturally appreciating their Ling family.
"To be able to get the emperor's appreciation, the old minister is sincerely afraid, and he also wrote His Majesty here for the dog." Ling Changtian felt nervous, bent down and arched his hand to the emperor.
"It's nothing, your family is the humerus minister of today's court, you must make persistent efforts." The Emperor nodded, a look of satisfaction.
"Yes, Your Majesty.
However, Lao Chen has one more thing to do when he enters Beijing this time. Ling Changtian was unhurried, and took this opportunity to take out the fold in his arms, respectfully held it in his hand, and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor took it too closely, but as a result, he frowned, spread it out, and was furious.
"What?! There is such a thing?! Prime Minister He...... ......He slapped it heavily on the table, his expression became extremely ugly, his face was very long, and his face was extremely dark, he didn't expect that the prime minister who stayed by his side all day would be greedy and pervert the law.
The prime minister pretended to be very honest in the court, but he never wanted to scavenge the people's fat and ointment behind his back.
The main reason is that his hands are relatively long, and he does not work under the roots of the imperial city, so it is naturally difficult for the emperor to find out.
"Wechen stopped my carriage on the way to Beijing and said that he wanted to sue the emperor, and these are all evidence that they took it." Ling Changtian also called those who were fair to the eunuchs around the emperor.
"What a prime minister! I treat him well on weekdays, but he is such a scum!
Come on, go to his house! ”
In front of all the evidence, the emperor is simply clear, unless he is really stupid, he will not favor such a person at all.
Seeing that the commander of the Imperial Forest Army came over to receive the order, Ling Changtian's hanging heart also became steady.
All before, he had already secretly found out that the masterminds behind those things were all prime ministers, and this time he could just eradicate the big cancer of the prime minister with the help of those complainants!
At this time, the east window incident happened, and the emperor was furious, so he sent someone to raid the prime minister's house.
The prime minister was comfortably hugging Chen at home, and he never thought that suddenly a group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard.
They were dressed in yellow armor, and at first glance they were the Imperial Forest Army sent by the Son of Heaven.
The prime minister hurriedly put on his official uniform and walked to the courtyard in a daze.
