Chapter 1117: Cleaning the Imperial Hall
Everyone didn't expect that the truth of the matter was like this, the court has always been anti-bribery, even if there are some people whose hands and feet are not clean, it has to be done quietly in private.
But Xue Zhao and a group of people directly asked for and bribed, and they were so blatant, it was the best to go to other people's restaurants to eat and drink, and they wiped their mouths after eating.
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
Even so, some people were still unwilling and continued: "Even so, the Lu family's wife, the Jiang family, should not use such a method, what does this make the people think? I don't know how to talk about the court and the emperor behind my back! ”
"Lord Zhang's words are wrong!"
Mr. Kang was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stand up.
He glanced at the Lord Zhang and continued: "Mrs. Lu is helping the emperor clean up the moths, what's wrong?" Moreover, the people know what, they just let them talk about it, after all, the emperor loves the people like a son, even if it is a discussion, it will only be a good discussion, not a bad rumor. Does Master Zhang think that the emperor does not have a good image in the eyes of the people? ”
He easily sent the emperor's sycophant, and by the way, he also bit back Lord Zhang, which is really high.
The man was so angry that his face turned green, but he still endured the anger in his heart and expressed his loyalty to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no such intentions!" ”
"Okay, I support Mrs. Lu's approach very much in this matter, so I should let these people remember it for a long time. In addition, these people are not strictly governed by their families, and all the officials in the family are reduced to two levels and fined for one year. ”
This punishment is too heavy, down two levels, God knows how difficult it is to go up two levels, how many years of struggle?
What's more, this is a two-level downgrade in the original yamen, and the position is topped by his previous subordinate officials, and they have changed from leaders to small officials, there must be people who have offended in the yamen over the years, and the days ahead will be more difficult than imagined.
A group of people originally thought that the emperor was already wary of the Lu family, and at this time, they took the opportunity to say bad things about Jiang Jiuniang, and the emperor would definitely push the boat towards them, but they didn't expect the emperor to be so tough on the Lu family, so what was the point of the temptation at the banquet before? Tried a loneliness?
It wasn't until the matter was settled that Lu Baichuan slowly stood up and said, "Thank you to the emperor for administering justice for my wife, the affairs of the Cao family have progressed, please take a look." ”
This is his thank you gift to the emperor.
Since they came back, they didn't care about the affairs of the Cao family, the emperor's people have dealt with it for so long, and there has been no progress at all, Lu Baichuan actually has some evidence in his hands, which was supposed to be given to the emperor after returning to the dynasty, but the emperor tested his daughter-in-law like that at the banquet, so he left the evidence, which happened to come in handy this time.
The emperor didn't expect Lu Baichuan to give himself such a surprise, it seems that although he was angry on the surface during this time, he actually went to help him check in private.
Thinking of what I had done before, I couldn't help but regret it again.
The emperor was happy, but some people in the court panicked, they were the people who had dealings with the Cao family, and they thought that if Lu Baichuan didn't interfere in this matter, many things would not be discovered, but Lu Baichuan came to such a move, it was really ruthless!
I felt weak when I stood up, my legs were so weak that I couldn't do it, and I just hoped that I hadn't been found out.
The little eunuch took out the things Lu Baichuan took out and sent them to the emperor, and the emperor opened it and looked at it, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at the civil and military officials below, his face was gloomy and compassionate, making people feel that they were going to be dragged out and cut down in the next moment.
"Yes, that's good!"
The emperor sneered, feeling that he was still too merciful to these people, otherwise he would not have raised so many moths.
Since he took the throne, he has been cracking down those officials who engage in improper activities, in order to avoid the occurrence of things in which officials protect each other, and as a result, such things still exist in the DPRK and China, and many people are implicated.
He read a list of names, and a group of people came out, and they were too lazy to say that they all went to prison.
Coincidentally, among these people, several of them happened to be the elders of Xue Zhao's group.
Xue Zhao's father was among them.
As a result, the early dynasty was originally denouncing Jiang Jiuniang's radical behavior, but unexpectedly, it turned into a court cleaning, and the hall was full of wailing, but no one dared to intercede.
Fortunately, it is only in prison, not a direct conviction.
After all, this evidence was handed over by Lu Baichuan alone, and it has not been confirmed, and it has to be confirmed according to the above content before he can be convicted.
But even this was enough to make the courtiers clamp their tails for a long time.
And Jiang Jiuniang outside the palace didn't know what was happening in the court, so she asked someone to carry a chair and sit at the door of the restaurant, waiting for the people on the street to come back.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so she asked those who came to ransom to hand over the money in advance to check, and if the amount was correct, they could pack it and take it away directly as soon as they came back, without worrying about queuing.
Xue Zhao's mother was screaming on the side and had no strength, her son was injured like that and was forcibly taken to the street, the Lu family was determined to get along with the Xue family, she had already thought about it, and when she picked up her son back at night, she asked her master to contact the family connections, and together they collapsed the Lu family and avenged her son!
The national capital is very large, and the so-called street tour is to tour all the main streets, and it is good to be able to swim all day today.
So, waiting at the door to watch the lively crowd went to the restaurant to eat, even if this happened, the business of the restaurant was so good that many guests had no place, and they waited in line to eat.
At noon, the news from the palace finally came out, and the little servant of the Xue family came over panting, and said in a panic: "Madam, it's not good!" ”
Mrs. Xue was already angry, and immediately scolded when she saw this: "Dog slave, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, you're not good!" Speak up! ”
The little guy gasped a few times, and then said, "Something happened to the master!" In the early dynasty, he was found to have dealings with the Cao family, and he has been sent to prison! ”
"W-what!"
Mrs. Xue screamed, rolled her eyes and fainted directly.
The Xue family was in a mess, and before the other families had time to see the excitement, they saw that someone from their own family had also come to inform them that something had also happened at home.
The door of the restaurant was so lively for a while, Jiang Jiuniang talked to Yu Shi with a scared face: "Fortunately, we let them pay the money before, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to take care of this matter at this time." ”
Yu nodded matter-of-factly: "It's still the third brother and sister, you have foresight!" ”
Jiang Jiuniang wanted to wait outside for the street parade team to come back and then collectively shock her, but now that this kind of thing has happened, these people can't afford to set off any storms, so she suddenly felt bored, got up and walked inside, and said, "Sister-in-law, go, count the money!" ”
