This time Zhu Biao deliberately did not leave anyone behind, and all the civil and military officials retreated in defeat. Those who walked in groups of two, two, three, and three said in their speeches that this was the way to cherish blessings, nourish one's health, and prolong life. Those from well-off families even generously invited colleagues and friends to join them.
Try the medicinal meal cooked by your servant overnight.
The censors glanced disdainfully at the talkers. Most of the censors were from poor backgrounds. It was good to have porridge and water to drink in the morning. There was no need for expensive medicinal diets with ginseng and deer antler.
I could only rely on this breath of righteousness in my chest, but it was inevitable that I would feel a little unfair. I thought that I had to find a way to get a copy of them, but I didn't believe that they didn't have a little bit of people's wealth in their drinking.
Zhao Liyan, who had just impeached Li Yan, caught up with the censor's team, got in front of the leader Zhang Guanglie, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, brother Chengyang, for asking for help."
Zhang Guanglie gave him an indifferent look with no intention of answering, while the censor surnamed Chen on the side said sarcastically to Zhao Liyan: "We discussed it last night. The facts about Li Liangdi are not important. It is just a matter for the queen's family. If
On ordinary days, Brother Zhao impeaches you if you want to, but why do you have to impeach at this critical moment in the court and deliberately involve Prime Minister Li? Who gave you the guidance?"
A censor in the back also answered: "Even if Chang Shuai is about to return, you want to join the Kaiping Palace, but this is too ugly. Brother Zhao can't stand the poverty of the censors like us?"
"
Zhao Liyan ignored the two men and just said to Zhang Guanglie: "Brother Chengyang also thinks that I am such a person? If it is not the responsibility of the Yushi Yanguan, why should I do such things to offend the prince Hu Xiang? Could it be that King Kaiping returned the favor?
Can he be greater than His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhang Guanglie said indifferently: "I don't know what you think, and I never said that you were wrong to impeach today, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken just now. It's just that you'd better be dedicated to serving the public. As a censor, don't do anything."
If you are caught in a party dispute, you will learn a lot from the past, so you should take care of yourself."
There was nothing more to say at this point. Zhao Liyan slowed down and watched the rest of his colleagues walking away quickly, leaving him alone at the end.
The censors and their party left Chengtian Gate and crossed the Waiwulong Bridge. The censor surnamed Chen said: "I heard that Yan Donglai, the minister of Dali Temple, has submitted a petition to resign from the post of minister of Dali Temple. His Highness has agreed. I don't know who will take over."
Zhang Guanglie looked at him straight-eyed and said, "There is no need to test it. The General Secretary recommended me. If His Highness agrees, I should be the one to take over."
Chen Yushi was no longer polite: "What are your plans, brother? The Dali Temple Minister has a very important responsibility, and the situation in Jiangnan is like this now. The Holy Northern Inspection will definitely catch a group of corrupt officials. The Yushi has already offended people.
He is alive, and this Minister of Dali Temple is even worse."
"There is nothing to plan. As long as His Majesty's decree is correct and the implementation of policies is beneficial to the country and the people, then I will serve my orders and do my best. As for other things, I don't have to worry about it."
The censors behind Zhang Guanglie all looked at him with admiration upon hearing this. They were knowledgeable, well-versed in governance, far-sighted, profound in knowledge, loyal in heart, upright in appearance, and the foundation of the censor.
They rejected Zhao Liyan not because he impeached Li Yan, but because he involved Li Shanchang and wanted to expand a small matter into a confrontation between the Chang clique and the Hu clique. This is considered a bad intention at a time when the political situation is not stable.
After Li Shanchang returned to his hometown, he had already married four concubines, and even accepted some filial piety from local officials. This attitude of deliberately self-defiling was already very clear. The Yushitai often impeached him, so he knew better about the Li family.
She has absolutely no intention of supporting her daughter in challenging the Crown Princess.
……………
Zhu Biao looked at the confessional memorials sent from the prison of the execution department in Jinshen Palace. Among them, there were some who sincerely and conscientiously repented, some who did it perfunctory, and some who even continued to dissuade the Jiangnan case in the name of repentance.
After Zhu Biao read it, he threw away the memorial and handed it all to Liu Jin who was waiting aside. The imperial prisoners escorted from Jiangnan had arrived in the capital and were detained in several places in the north of the city, under the supervision of the Ministry of Punishment and the Military and Horse Division.
In addition to the incriminating documents sent from the local government and the information compiled by the pro-military governor's office, Zhu Biao didn't have much time to look carefully, so Liu Jin took a look at them, mainly to see the personal connections of these people and their connections with those in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
What are the connections between those officials?
Whether it is the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment or the scholars and scholars escorted from Jiangnan, they must be pardoned and released, but they must also jump out of some canonical punishments and kill chickens and monkeys, otherwise how can they prove the great grace of God.
Not killing someone would not be considered kind, it would only appear weak, showing that the court could not do without officials like them and did not dare to offend the Jiangnan gentry. The Jiangnan case ended in an anticlimax and became a laughing stock.
This is how people are, the more near misses they have, the more complacent they will be, and the more they escape from death, the more terrified they will be as if walking on thin ice. How could Zhu Biao rush to give them sweet dates without even hitting them with a stick?
Liu Jin had a photographic memory and had no interest in either the officials or the Jiangnan gentry. It was a perfect fit for him to do this, and Zhu Biao felt more at ease.
She was just a little worried that Liu Jin might be negligent. After all, he was not a professional. It would be great if Yan Donglai was not sick. Thinking of this, he ordered: "Instruct Dr. Zhang to take out a few nourishing medicines from the inner wall and send them to the Yan Mansion."
Zhao Huaian, who was guarding the door, responded quickly, and the palace roads he had been cleaning for several months were finally transferred back. In fact, Zhu Biao originally planned to support him to suppress Liu Jin's gang, but he did not expect that he would not live up to his expectations.
In the end, he almost became Liu Jin's most trusted godson.
Zhu Biao was also helpless about this. He didn't know whether it was because Liu Jin had learned to be submissive from him or because Zhao Huai'an was too unambitious. However, people have different uses. It's better to keep honest people to serve them.
.
Zhu Biao flipped through the memorial while still thinking about the morning meeting just now. It was not surprising that someone impeached Li Yan, but it was a bit baffling to involve Li Shanchang. People in the Chang Department would not be like this if they didn't have brains.
Is it possible that the thief shouted "Catch the thief" and that Zhao Liyan is a member of Hu Weiyong and wants to exploit his teacher's old background? It is not impossible. Li Shanchang happily delegated power and returned to his hometown, leaving a group of capable people for Zhu Biao.
, I have to say that both Lao Zhu and he share this sentiment.
Therefore, no matter how hard Li Shanchang was, Zhu would only order corrections and punish those local officials who dared to show their filial piety. Li Shanchang had been running the rear for many years, and his influence was far beyond that of Hu Weiyong.
It's just that it's a bit too superficial, and Zhu Biao doesn't feel like it's something that Hu Weiyong can arrange. There are obviously better ways, and Li Yan's little thing won't make Li Shanchang upset.
Zhu Biao silently remembered Zhao Liyan, and then he stopped thinking about it. If he had to think about everything thoroughly, then he would not do anything. He was in a high position, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and thinking more.
Naturally, Longmen will not remain calm and will jump out of the water sooner or later.
This was the case for the next few days. After the morning dynasty, he rushed into the Jinshen Hall, summoned officials from various ministries for a small meeting in the afternoon, and went back to the East Palace to sleep after midnight each night.
Such worry and hard work forced Zhu Biao to join the ranks of taking medicated meals every day. After all, Zhu Biao was more generous than his father. He ordered the imperial doctors to cook medicated meals and sent some to various government offices. Don't really
Let those poor officials die of exhaustion.
Zhu Biao also took the time to summon Zhang Guanglie. After talking with him, it was clear that he was just like his name. He naturally liked such a minister, Zhu Biao. Although his temper was a bit stubborn, there was no need to worry about his character.
It may be that Yushi Zhongcheng is more suitable than the minister of Dali Temple, but there is a shortage of ministers of Dali Temple now. We can only let him take over first, otherwise it will be difficult to pick a suitable one in a short time.
After the Minister of Dali Temple took office, the Sanfa Division also began a new round of interrogation of the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and the imperial prisoners escorted from Jiangnan. The results surprised many people. They thought that the Holy Emperor's departure from Beijing for the northern inspection tour was a disguised form of submission.
By leaving this matter in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, a major matter has been reduced to a trivial one.
