Chapter 19: "The Hearts of the People"
"Minister, minister obeys." Lin Gong felt that his back was already soaked with sweat.
After the dynasty, Emperor Jianzhang immediately sent someone to Yinchuan to take down Lin Jingdan and detain him on the spot.
After receiving the order, the internal guard did not dare to delay at all, and immediately went to Yinchuan.
Only Emperor Jianzhang and the crown prince were left in the imperial study.
"Father, you should dissipate your anger first, and it is important to take care of the dragon's body."
Su Yumao on the side also persuaded him, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, it's important to take care of the dragon's body." ”
I have vented it in the court just now, and the anger in Emperor Jianzhang's heart has gone four or five, and the troubles he has encountered every day since he ascended the throne are unknown, if he always sulks in his heart, he would have died long ago.
"What does the prince think of the matter in Yinchuan?" Emperor Jianzhang looked at Chu Huaiyan to the side.
The crown prince Chu Huaiyan is the sister-in-law of Emperor Jianzhang, the first queen gave birth to him, and Emperor Jianzhang did not worry about others taking him, so he was brought by Emperor Jianzhang himself since he was a child.
Emperor Jianzhang also had high hopes for him, and Chu Huaiyan did not live up to his expectations.
Chu Huaiyan also loves Emperor Jianzhang, his father.
"Back to my father, my sons thought that this matter should be strictly investigated, and since the Yellow River corruption case has been stabbed in front of people, we must have an explanation for the court and the people."
Emperor Jianzhang looked at the crown prince with an uncertain expression, "How does the prince think he should explain?" ”
"Erchen thinks that the most important thing in this matter is how to deal with the aftermath, after all, the comfort of the Yellow River is the top priority, but the people of Lin Jingdan's faction can and must deal with it, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
After listening to the prince's words, Emperor Jianzhang nodded with satisfaction, as an emperor, what he thinks and thinks cannot be mixed with any personal feelings, and he must put the interests of the country above everything.
There are corrupt officials in all dynasties and generations, and corrupt officials cannot be killed, but they cannot be killed, and this degree is very important.
"Yes, I have lived up to my teaching to you, and I will leave everything to you to arrange for this trip to Yinchuan." After Emperor Jianzhang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, annoying.
Chu Huaiyan was already accustomed to his father throwing political affairs to himself, and there was no surprise when he heard the words, and he received the decree neatly.
……
After the prince left, he did not return to the East Palace, but went to find Si Qiming, the general of the division, and his father left Beijing, and there was no room for any mistakes in terms of security.
After the early dynasty, the entire imperial court moved.
And Emperor Jianzhang, who caused all this, was lazy in the imperial study.
Su Yumao looked at His Majesty leisurely practicing calligraphy, and sighed in his heart, at this moment, the outside must have become a mess of porridge, so His Majesty still has the heart to practice calligraphy here.
Originally, it was impossible for an emperor to be as leisurely as Emperor Jianzhang, but who let him have a capable son, the prince was still young in the early years, and he must have been able to ignore political affairs.
But since the prince's coming-of-age ceremony, he has handed over a lot of political affairs to him, and so far, except for some extraordinarily big things, the prince is responsible for general political affairs.
Su Yumao stepped forward to fill His Majesty with a new cup of tea, and then saw the little eunuch outside giving him a look.
As he walked over, the little eunuch whispered a few words in his ear and handed him a letter.
When he took the letter back, Emperor Jianzhang just stopped writing and glanced at him, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Li Shilang sent a secret fold from Yinchuan." Su Yumao bent down and held the fold above his head with both hands.
"It's Yinchuan again." Emperor Jianzhang casually threw the brush on the case, and the freshly written character was immediately destroyed.
Emperor Jianzhang wiped his hands with the handkerchief prepared on the side, took the secret fold on Su Yumao's hand, and after reading it, the corners of Emperor Jianzhang's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Okay, it's really good, the officials I recruited are really good!" ”
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, Su Yumao hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty is angry." ”
"Ji Fengqi come in!" Emperor Jianzhang shouted out the door.
Ji Fengqi, the guard guarding the door, walked in quickly, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”
"Get up, Ji Fengqi, you go to Yinchuan immediately, spread my will, let Li Su take a good look at Liu Yuan's dog, and before I go to Yinchuan, I am optimistic about his life, otherwise, he is the only one who asks."
Emperor Jianzhang really felt that these ministers of his didn't want him to live a good life at all, and the anger that had just gone down surged up again, and sure enough, this emperor was not easy to sit on.
The imperial court in Beijing was busy leaving Beijing for Emperor Jianzhang, and at this time, Si Ning and Si Yunlan, who were far away in Yinchuan, had already received a reply from the capital.
After reading the letter, Si Ning and Si Yunlan glanced at each other, although they both knew that this matter was very important, neither of them expected that Uncle Huang/His Majesty would come to Yinchuan.
"Are you still leaving?" Si Yunlan glanced at Si Ning, but he had already guessed her answer in his heart.
"Since the imperial uncle is coming, then naturally I won't leave, I'll wait in Yinchuan and see with my own eyes what the imperial uncle will do with Lin Jingdan, that scum."
Si Ning glanced at her, she naturally wanted to see Lin Jingdan's fate with herself, anyway, it was boring to go back to the capital, so it was better to stay and join in the fun.
Si Yunlan and Si Ning grew up together, and they couldn't guess her plans, but he didn't say anything, just warned Si Ning not to go out if he had nothing to do recently.
Only half of the troops that Li Su transferred from the Shizuishan camp were withdrawn, and half were still in the Assassin's Mansion.
Although there was not much commotion that night, some people still saw it, and now everyone in the city is talking about it.
Li Su directly sent troops to take Liu Yuan, which shows that he must have committed something before he was arrested, and the Yellow River corruption case is also faintly related to him, he is definitely not an innocent person.
But this is Liu Yuan in their eyes, in the eyes of the people of Yinchuan, Liu Yuan is a good official who will be sympathetic to the people.
Every month, they will set up a shed outside the city gate to give porridge, and they will help find work for beggars and orphans, because of this, there are very few beggars and orphans in the territory of Yinchuan.
So when I learned the news of Liu Yuan's arrest, the atmosphere among the people of Yinchuan became impatient.
However, when Si Ning heard Si Yunlan say Liu Yuan's official voice, she only felt cold, although she didn't want to have anything to do with Li Su anymore in her life, and she didn't like Li Su anymore, but she still had to believe in his ability and means.
Since Li Su arrested him, then he must be guilty, but he is too good at pretending.
As a common official in Yinchuan, Si Yunlan naturally didn't have time to keep an eye on Si Ning all the time, so he had to tell her again and again.
Si Ning promised Si Yunlan to stay in the mansion well, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and his plan couldn't catch up with the changes.
In the yamen in the front yard, many people suddenly poured in, and the people pleaded with Si Yunlan one after another, hoping that he could save Liu Yuan.
