Of course, Liu Hongdao is not guilty of death, and according to various evidence, he has no responsibility other than blocking the flood discharge in Qingzhou.

But it was his selfish behavior this time, which led to the drowning of no less than 1,000 people in the flood last year, and it was Sean's geographical familiarity that directly threw the sorted data in front of his face, completely breaking the psychological defense line of this good official. He also said this very clearly before he committed suicide.

But Zhao Jiu was still very angry. This anger, Craftsman Lu also analyzed for him, it was a kind of anger of betrayal.

That is Liu Hongdao, the front and rear, a Qing official who has worked hard for more than ten years and has no complaints. Second only to several ministers and ministers.

Therefore, after Liu Hongdao arrived in the capital and was imprisoned, Zhao Jiu specially took time to visit him. I saw that this old man was already extremely decadent, even if he had been cleaned up in advance, his clothes and hair were still neat, but his eyes were completely godless.

"I won't kill you, you don't have to." Zhao Guan's family sighed after all.

Liu Hongdao didn't dare to look at Zhao Guan's house. After a while, he said, "The minister's crime is heinous, if the official family thinks of forgetting the feelings, and is unwilling to understand the canonical punishment, the minister can commit suicide." ”

"Why? Why, exactly? Liu Hongdao, the first time I saw you, it was when it was the most difficult time in Bagong Mountain, you were the only one among the northern fugitives who dared to fight against the Jin people, even if you lost, you were a bloody man. Since then, I have remembered you in my heart, in Jiangxi South Road, you have been worried about the lack of food and clothing for those people all day and night, and have donated all your money several times to encourage the cultivation of wasteland. Now, the Imperial Squad went to raid your home and found that you had been renting a house in Tokyo for decades in addition to the mansion I gave you. The sum of the banknotes, treasury bonds, and cash at home is only more than 1,000 yuan, and you have 600 yuan a year? Officially asked. You used it to donate it to the people who died in Qingzhou back then, even if they died, they set up a monument for them, but why is a good official like you making me embarrassed to this extent today? The Zhao Guanjia rarely lost their temper, and almost said these words with a roar.

Yes, he did feel betrayed. Many people in this world will betray you, but the more people who believe, the more damage will be done.

Yang Yizhong was not at ease, so he came over to take a look, but he was also driven back, "Go to the door and watch that no one is allowed to come in." ”

He is like this, how much better can Liu Hongdao be, he sobbed and kowtowed: "The ministers are sorry for the officials, sorry for the people who died in vain, the causes and consequences of the officials' families already know." The official family does not give the minister a death, and he dreams back at midnight, thinking of the people who died in vain because of the minister's selfishness, how can the minister live! ”

"What's not going to live? You and I are standing in the court today, who has not seen a dead person? Who hasn't seen a river of blood? Zhao Guanjia didn't know if it was self-deprecation.

Liu Hongdao shook his head, "Song Jinguo's war stopped and suppressed bandits, even if there was a mistake, there was no way to show it." It's because the people in my hometown came to the door and begged bitterly. With a clear conscience, Zhao Tong was forced to change the flood route. The result was exactly as he expected. When Xiao Yushi questioned the minister with the roster, the minister was already dead until he couldn't redeem himself, and the official family should not offset my guilt just because the minister still had a little bit of merit, if such an atmosphere is opened. The thirty-six ministers of Jianyan, I'm afraid that half of them will end up in a bleak end. "The place of house arrest is thin in the sun, and Liu Hongdao's old state is particularly obvious under the mottled light and shadow, "The minister only learned today that it is easy to unite as one when the outside world is unanimous, but it is so difficult to keep one's heart in a peaceful and prosperous world." ”

Hearing this, not to mention Zhao Guanjia and Yang Yizhong, and even Yu Yunwen, who was in charge of detention, were all a little thoughtful.

"There is a weakness in the human heart." Liu Hongdao has obviously typed the manuscript countless times, and it sounds very smooth. "Some people are profitable, such as King Zhang Qi. There are people with good names, Zhang Xianggong and Li Xianggong. Some people act in extreme ways, such as Hu Xianggong. Even King Yue, who is recognized as the first in private morality, is too strict with his own family, and he does not grow crooked because of the horse itself. is like a criminal minister, who can't let go of his hometown and the tens of thousands of sons who died because of my incompetence, and makes a big mistake. The minister should have died a long time ago, after being rescued for the first time. It was to say these words to the official family in person, so that he has survived to this day. ”

In the empty cell, his words echoed for a long time. Zhao Jiu also seemed to have lost the anger he had when he first came, and sat there for a while before he said: "The country has its own laws, and you will be condemned, but before that, you should think about it here." Come up with something to write and tell me, and Xin Wenyu will forward it for you. ”

Zhao Guanjia returned to the harem that afternoon and announced that unless the enemy army had reached the capital, a certain important minister was going to die, or the Yellow River was flooding Jinshan, nothing should come to disturb him.

Feng Yi looked at his face and resolutely carried out this instruction.

In just one afternoon, he blocked the three princes who came to ask for peace, and finally couldn't help but speak Prime Minister Zhao Ding, and because of the eucalyptus affair, the two Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing, and even the soup sent by the Empress Dowager Wei and the two ladies were also cheaper.

But there was one person, he really couldn't stop it, not for anything else, because this person really had force value and threw him away.

A light like a bean, Zhao Jiu in the dim laughed at himself: "Bo Ying, every time I suddenly go to look for you, I didn't expect it to be the other way around this time, it's really clear that the retribution is unpleasant." ”

Zhang Jun, the king of Qi, immediately knelt down and said: "Official, the minister really shouldn't come to disturb, but the minister, the minister really can't look at it...... Liu Bao followed the minister when he was a teenager, because he was not as good as Xiao Tian and finally changed to a civilian position, he was corrupt in Jinan Mansion, and the minister did not teach him well...... And he is a military general, the ministers will protect Pei Zude and Fan Zongyin, and even Uncle Zhang will be his son, but they will kill him...... The minister knew that he had been raided, and the imperial historians found out how many accounts he had embezzled, and the minister paid another copy in full, only begging the official family to let him live. ”

"Well, you're just trying to say that a few people are always going to die like this. Although the rule of not killing scholars and doctors in this dynasty has long been broken. But if it can be guaranteed, the ministers will still protect the civil officials, this is a century-old custom, and I can't get rid of it alone. Zhao Jiu may have rested enough, and said loudly: "Come on, go and cook a bowl of porridge for me." ”

A few small chamberlains on the side were rubbing the waist of Feng Yifeng and Senior Official, and they couldn't stop King Qi's royal pre-squad from flying directly to the small kitchen to report the news.

"Boying, seriously. You come today. I was more happy than angry. Zhao Guanjia, who drank the porridge, did not forget to give Zhang Jun a bowl as well, "If Liangchen is doing this for his subordinates, it won't be strange at all, but you will be a little surprised." It can be seen that although you have all kinds of problems, you can unite the army's heart, follow me in Hebei, and break the enemy in Xia Cai, you always have your uniqueness. ”

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "Don't comfort the ministers of the official family, several handsome ministers, the official family takes care of my old Zhang the most, who doesn't say that I rely on the earliest mixing from the dragon to today." Now it's also taking that meager credit, cheekily embarrassing you. ”

"Thirty-seven civil and military officials are name-related, I really understand what it means to have more debts and not worry, and more lice and not itch. Fortunately, someone woke me up today. Human nature can't stand the test. Zhao Jiu drank the porridge and drank the smell of wine, and sneered: "But Boying, this love array can't be sold to you, not only Liu Bao, but all the people involved, I have already thought about it and handled it according to the law of the country." Looking at Zhang Jun's miserable appearance and not daring to say more, Zhao Jiu said: "You don't have to be like this, I don't want to kill a river of blood, rob my family and exterminate the clan, but I always have to give an explanation to the people of the world." ”

"No matter what martial arts you are, no matter what you have merit, you have to go through a trial. Even if there is merit to be absolved, then it must be condemned first. Zhao Jiu stood up, "Anyone who is dissatisfied can do it." But I have to do it. The Great Song Dynasty could not ignore the issue of corruption. ”
