Chapter 362: Corrupt Officials and Pure Officials
"I actually came all the way to Huaibei in person, which is really a blessing for the people of Huaibei." Chu Nian raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.
The Queen Mother frowned and nodded slightly, her face was not unusual.
After a while, she raised her hand, and saw the grandmother on the side stepped forward to put away the letter, and the Queen Mother looked at Chu Nian and said: "The mourning family knows about this matter, and when the deputy national teacher comes back, the mourning family will privately praise him, as for the national teacher, ......"
The Queen Mother half-hung her head, as if she was thinking, and after a long time, she said with a soothing face: "Tomorrow, the deputy national teacher can move out of the palace and take his apprentices with him, this mourning family is naturally talking, you don't have to worry, you have a good rest these days, Huaibei and his party ......"
"Thank you for your hard work."
The last word of the Queen Mother almost gritted her teeth, but Chu Nian always smiled lightly, as if she didn't know anything about the Queen Mother's attitude, I saw her nod lightly and said: "Then it will bother the Queen Mother, that's right, Niangniang." ”
Chu Nian beckoned to the door, and saw a palace maid walking in from outside, holding a brocade box in her hand.
She got up with a smile and turned her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother, this is the bamboo leaf green brought back from Huaibei, the bamboo leaf green in this season is just right, it will not be too astringent, you can taste it, if you like it, the courtiers will naturally ask someone to buy more from Huaibei for the Queen Mother to enjoy." ”
The Queen Mother's face became more and more unsightly, Huaibei's Zhu Yeqing, she Chu Nian can send someone to bring it back at any time, this means that Huaibei is already her Chu Nian's?
But the Queen Mother couldn't have a seizure, at this point, Chu Nian had already gotten up and saluted respectfully, "The courtiers still have some official affairs to deal with in their families, so they won't bother the Queen Mother, and the courtiers will retire." ”
After Chu Nian turned around and swaggered away, the Queen Mother clenched the tea cup in her hand, and looked at the grandmother waiting beside her with an unkind face, the grandmother was startled by the Queen Mother's complexion, and saw the Queen Mother say coldly: "What about Dark?" Is he back? ”
The grandmother only promised: "Yes, the deputy national teacher arrived last night, it seems that he was seriously injured, and now he is resting in the palace, and the deputy national teacher has specially instructed us not to reveal his whereabouts for ......the time being."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, got up suddenly, and said with a cold face: "Let's go, let's go and see what injuries he has suffered!" ”
……
The next day, Zhu Qing and his other two apprentices were taken out of the palace, Chu Nian sent the children who lived in the Chu family out of the Chu family, and Zhu Qing's master and apprentice temporarily settled in the old house of the Su family - Ming Xiu repaired the old house of the Su family earlier, and the family of Wuxin Dao ran it.
Above the court, the atmosphere became more and more silent, and the officials of the court and the central government all had serious faces, while the officials of the Ministry of Officials who had gone to Huaibei with Chu Nian before were standing in the center of the court at this moment, with sad and angry expressions on their faces.
They had just counted all the charges of Prince Lu in front of the hundred officials, and now the hundred officials were all looking at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
After all, it was the first time they knew that such a serious thing had happened in Huaibei.
The face of the emperor at the top is not good, but the prince Ming Xiu, who is sitting next to the emperor, is clear, and the faces of all the princes are not very good-looking, after all, Prince Lu is also one of their brothers, and there are a few who know the inside story, and they also feel that their faces are dull at this moment, after all, Prince Lu is so powerful in Huaibei, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no one to help, but it can be said that the royal family, with the help of a foreign surname, persecuted the people of Daliang, said it, no matter which royal family is gloomy.
The next Wang family looked at each other, Wang Er was confident, at this moment he didn't realize how big this matter was, he also had his own thoughts in his heart, after all, Prince Lu is also a royal family, if Prince Lu will give up his Wang family...... Is it possible to become a royal family and declare to the outside world that they are controlled by ministers and persecuted by the people?
Moreover, Prince Lu's identity is sensitive, and it is estimated that the above will not be how Prince Lu will be, at most he will be assigned to the border pass, and when the time comes, with his royal status, Prince Lu will not be the same as a prestige?
However, the first task of the Wang family now is to take Huaibei into the bag, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Huaibei is now without Prince Lu, but it is still an ownerless thing.
Wang Er's little abacus in his heart crackled, and between everyone looking at each other, he seemed to have become the master of this Huaibei territory.
"Your Majesty, first declare the unequaled county lord?" King Huainan glanced at all the officials present, and then looked at the emperor who was headed.
The emperor glanced inquiringly at Ming Xiu beside him and nodded silently.
After a short time, Chu Nian arrived, she first knelt down and saluted, and then nodded to those adults as a greeting, and then said respectfully to the emperor above: "Your Majesty, the matter of Huaibei has been investigated, but there are too many officials involved, if they are punished, I am afraid that the entire Huaibei will fall into a situation where no one has jurisdiction at that time." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "But even so, those officials in Huaibei are unforgivable?" ”
King Huainan glanced at the officials who bowed their heads and said nothing, and then condescendingly glanced at Wang Er, who was as usual with a pale face, before he said: "Since the crime is unforgivable, Brother Huang, this time Prince Lu has gone too far, if he is not punished, I am afraid that some people will think that our Daliang Imperial Court is too merciful." ”
Wang Er heard the ridicule in King Huainan's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord, this is wrong, Prince Lu is just confused for a while, I believe that as long as Prince Lu knows the mistakes he has made, he will naturally correct it in time." ”
"What do you mean by this, but Prince Lu was misled?"
King Huainan looked at Wang Er with a smile, Wang Er was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect King Huainan to set himself up in his words, Wang Er looked a little annoyed and said: "If Prince Lu is misled, he will naturally arrest this person and kill this person to make an example." ”
Seeing that Wang Er was annoyed and angry, King Huainan seemed to be a lot more happy, he touched a small handful of goatee on his chin, and snorted coldly: "Even if this person is self-aware, I just don't know if he will be so calm when the knife is on his neck." ”
As soon as these words came out, the court was quiet for a while, and then heard a burst of laughter from the hundred officials, the king of Huainan was ridiculing Wang Er, everyone could hear it, only Wang Er, after reacting for a while, he looked at the king of Huainan angrily.
"Lord Wang, don't spew blood!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the court was becoming more and more improper, Chu Nian glanced at King Huainan helplessly, and then looked at Wang Erdao: "This is the new Orthodox Doctor Wang?" ”
The laughter of the hundred officials gradually disappeared, and Wang Er looked at Chu Nian, only then did he remember that it was the first time he had seen the queen mother's biggest enemy of the Wang family.
The position of the chief doctor has always been vacant, and a few days ago he finally asked for it from the queen mother - he wanted to simply take the position of his brother and prime minister, but the queen mother refused, so he had to find a position as a formal doctor, fortunately, with the status of the Wang family in the court, even if he was as low as the ninth rank of the master, he could speak in the court, and he could get the position of the right doctor, Wang Er was naturally content.
Wang Er secretly looked at Chu Nian in front of him, and after a while, he retracted his gaze, flicked his sleeves arrogantly and said, "Naturally, the unequaled county lord, the lower official is so polite." ”
Seeing that he was polite on his lips, but in fact his nostrils were facing the sky, Chu Nian couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, this Wang Er was really far worse than his brother, no wonder the Wang family was Wang Zixuan in charge at the beginning, and now it is the Queen Mother who is in charge, if it is this Wang Er who is in charge at the beginning, I am afraid that the Wang family will already be scattered without Chu Nian's action.
At this point, Chu Nian didn't show her disdain too obviously, she hooked the corners of her lips meaninglessly, nodded and said, "It's polite to discuss the doctor." ”
Then, she turned her head, swept her gaze over the officials present, and said with a serious face: "Regarding the matter of Prince Lu, the courtiers didn't want to count his guilt in detail, but since the doctor didn't know about it, the courtiers didn't mind telling the adults everything about it. ”
Wang Er's face was stunned, and he saw Chu Nian take out an object from his arms, which was the parchment scroll full of people's names, and there seemed to be a trace of blood on it, through the dense handwriting, the hundred officials could even feel how angry the people of Huaibei who had been oppressed for a long time were.
"This is a joint letter I got from hundreds of people in two cities in Huaibei." Chu Nian smiled and looked at the adults on the side, "Your lords can testify, I have never forced anyone to sign this certificate, and all the names on this certificate were signed voluntarily by the people." ”
At this moment, there was an uproar above the court, the joint petition of the people of the two cities, how many years have I not seen it? If it weren't for the fact that the Wushuang County Lord went to Huaibei this time, wouldn't the oppressed people revolt after a while?
Seeing this joint statement, Wang Er's face was shocked, he didn't expect things to come to this point, he couldn't refute it at this moment, but his heart was a mess, he didn't expect that the Wushuang County Lord would find out to this point, there has been no news from the Queen Mother in the past few days, and now I don't know if Chu Nian has found out about the Wang family......
Jointly, how many years has this thing not appeared?
The last time it appeared, but when the previous dynasty had just stabilized, it failed to take into account the people in more remote areas, and as soon as the joint petition came out, it made the officials in the entire remote area clean up from top to bottom! Even many officials in the DPRK and China have been implicated......
At this moment, Wang Er was in danger and no longer dared to speak for Prince Lu.
King Huainan had already known that there was a joint letter, and when he saw it with his own eyes at this time, he couldn't help but have a complicated complexion, he glanced at Wang Er sideways, and then looked up at the emperor who was on the head.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, even if the stewards in the Huaibei region are empty, we must severely punish those corrupt officials and give an explanation to the people."
It is true that the king of Huainan is a greedy person, but when it comes to the face of the royal family and as a prince with his own territory, the king of Huainan can be said to be a competent administrator, at least he will not let the people of his territory be harmed at all.
As soon as the joint letter came out, all the officials present became nervous, and they wrote to severely punish the corrupt officials in Huaibei, as if the adults in the entire court had become honest and good officials.
