Those Liao soldiers with Mediterranean haircuts did not attack, but sheathed their swords and exited Meixiangyuan. This scene shocked many people's jaws.
After Liu Liufu left, there were still a few guards standing there, a little at a loss. After all, Jiang Tai was still lying on the ground. They couldn't bear the responsibility of asking them to abandon Shangguan and leave immediately.
"Carry the person away, don't dirty the ground." After saying this with disdain, Su Shi gestured to Yue Siling and returned to the wing in a wheelchair.
Jiang Tai was carried away, and everyone watching the excitement also left one after another. But it is conceivable that what happened here will soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, and everyone will know about it.
The door to the wing was closed again, but the difference was that Lou Yang followed him and walked in.
"Ling'er, go find the old bustard and tell him that we want to redeem Qu Dong'er's body." Su Shi ordered Yue Siling.
Yue Siling nodded and left. Su Shi looked at Lou Yang aside and said, "Come here."
After just a while, Lou Yang nodded continuously, turned around and walked out, and quickly disappeared into the dense crowd of people on the street.
The old bustard also came soon, and when he heard that Su Shi was going to redeem Qu Donger's body, he still looked happy.
It's not good to be unhappy. If it was before, she might have disagreed, and even if it was not possible, she would have to worry about it. But now, with such a big thing happening, Su Shi can still keep Qu Dong'er safe. If he
What about this move?
I'm afraid that if I follow, someone will come and rob me. If that happens, I'm afraid these people will not only rob people, but also smash up the store. In short, anything will happen.
After this incident, Qu Donger became a disaster star and was avoided.
Now that Su Shi is willing to redeem the person, it is equivalent to taking away the trouble. How can the old bustard disagree? Even the ransom money is only a symbolic five thousand guan. In normal times, this price is at least still enough.
If you want to multiply it by ten times, you have to think about it.
...
Honglu Temple.
This yamen was also built on Yubei Street in the inner city. When a guard ran back in a panic and reported what happened in Meixiangyuan to the temple minister Jiang Gu, the old man from the fourth grade,
He almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Tai was beaten, and even the Liao envoys were repulsed. In Jiang Gu's view, all of this was a big event if it happened one by one, but now they happened together, this was something that he didn't even dare to think about.
"Quick, prepare the sedan. I'm going to the palace and meeting the officials." After a moment of panic, Jiang Gu finally thought that he needed to report it immediately, so he said to the entourage around him.
Zichen Palace.
Chen Lin appeared here first and informed Renzong Zhao Zhen of what happened in Meixiangyuan.
Zhao Zhen, who was taking a lunch break, immediately washed his face under Zhang Maoze's service, then sat on the dragon chair and looked at the poem written by Su Shi that Chen Lin had copied.
"Okay, good scolding."
After looking at it carefully, Zhao Zhen seemed to be happy and took the photo of the Long Case.
Speaking of which, Zhao Zhen was also an emperor with ideas. When he was young, he also thought about taking back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
It's just that at this time, when the Song Dynasty was strong and weak, everyone could talk and quote scriptures, but when it came to fighting, they really couldn't.
In the battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai in recent years, the Song army lost more and won less, which made Zhao Zhen see the military shortcomings. The problems of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses also made the Song Dynasty
There are financial problems.
Not only that, but the idea of resisting war in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty occupied a mainstream position. Even if he, an official, opened his mouth, it would be of no avail.
When the country is weak, it is natural to be bullied. Just like the envoys from the Liao Kingdom, they look arrogant every time they come, and sometimes they don't even take themselves as the emperor in their eyes. What's hateful is that there are many
The ministers were afraid of them and flattered them shamelessly.
The performance of the ministers, in the eyes of the envoys, made them even more proud and showed the incompetence of the Song Dynasty.
Because of this matter, Zhao Zhen sometimes wanted to punish a few weak officials in anger to show his attitude and let the ministers know what the way of a minister is, so that they would not be so weak in the future.
But this is just an idea. Considering that if the officials are punished for this, I am afraid that other people will jump out to speak for them. In the end, they may not be able to deal with those officials without speaking up, and they will be disgraced.
I just didn't expect Su Shi to do it.
Although the process is very reckless, but think about it, why isn't this the most direct and effective method?
At this time, Zhao Zhen wanted to say that Su Shi did well and beautifully and should be praised or even rewarded.
But this is just a thought after all. Thinking about Su Shi's performance, the scholar-bureaucrats still don't know how they will punish him verbally and in writing next. It will be good if they can not punish him by then.
"well."
With a sigh, Zhao Zhen could not help but express his inner thoughts in front of the two servants.
Chen Lin came as soon as possible after receiving the information from the Secret Intelligence Department. At this time, she was carefully observing the emperor. Seeing Zhao Zhen's performance, how could he not know what was in his heart, so he moved forward
He took a small step and said tentatively, "Guan family, our Secret Intelligence Department found out a while ago that Jiang Tai, the young minister of Honglu, had seized 120 acres of land..."
There was not much to say next. Chen Lin believed that Zhao Zhen understood the meaning of his words.
"Oh? If there is such a thing, why didn't you report it earlier?" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the official's house, this has just been verified." As she spoke, Chen Lin took out a memorial letter from her arms and placed it lightly on the dragon case.
Needless to say, any fool knows that what is recorded here must be evidence about Jiang Tai's illegal behavior.
"Well, let's put it here first. You guys go down first. I'll think about it, think about it." A look of satisfaction flashed across Zhao Zhen's face. With this thing, even if he can't save Su Shi, he can still save it.
This is a good time to give a minister like Jiang Tai a good beating.
Zhao Zhen wants to tell those who feel weak when they see Daliao and Xixia, tell them that you are officials of Song Dynasty, not theirs.
Everything he should have done was done. Chen Lin knew that he had nothing to do next, so she bowed and left. Just as he left, someone from Xiaohuangmen came to report that it was Li Tongping Zhang Shi.
Yonghe, Miao Jicheng, Duke of Wu State, Zhao Yunrang of Dazong Temple, and Pang Ji, who was involved in political affairs, asked for an audience.
"Oh, they are all here." After hearing the names announced one by one, Zhao Zhen quickly thought of something, and his face showed joy. Then he said: "Let them go to Longtuge, I will
Just come here."
Needless to say, these four people came to plead for Su Shi.
Li Yonghe represents the Li family, Miao Jicheng represents the Miao family, and Zhao Yunrang represents Empress Cao...
In short, they are all interest groups that Su Shi belongs to. Su Shi arranged for Lou Yang to notify these people one by one.
Not only that, every time Lou Yang went to a house, he also took out one hundred thousand dollars.
The money is just a meaning. With Su Shi's current net worth, the money is really nothing. But he is actually using this to tell these people that if he is finished, they will never receive goods again. Naturally, he will
There is no money left to make.
When it comes to their own vital interests, no one will be in a hurry. So, they came, and they just happened to enter the palace together.
When Jiang Gu, the minister of Honglu Temple, who received the news, came to Longtuge next time, what he saw was the official family sitting with four important ministers.
Among them, except for Pang Ji, who was relatively junior and had no seats, everyone else was sitting on chairs, looking leisurely.
Just at this moment, they had already reached a consensus, which was to make the things that happened in Meixiangyuan a big deal and a trivial matter.
They even found a sufficient reason, that is, Tongzhi Lang Su Shi's brain was not very good. Only in this way, they had enough reasons to block the silence of the people.
Of course, this is not without its drawbacks, that is, it will be very difficult for Su Shi to get promoted from now on. Fortunately, he has leg problems and his family origin, so even if he wants to get promoted, it will be the same.
It's difficult.
Even so, it's better to get this thing done. This way, they can at least keep Su Shi, and then they should make money, and Su Shi will be fine, wouldn't everyone be happy?
And taking this opportunity, Zhao Zhen can also give a warning to those soft persimmons in the court, which is really the best thing.
Zhao Zhen would certainly agree to kill three birds with one stone, which meant that Jiang Gu's arrival would not have any effect.
Of course, it can't be said that it has no effect at all. For example, when he saw Zhao Zhen kneeling down to salute, a piece of evidence about Jiang Tai's seizure of land was thrown at his feet. "Look, you are all in Honglu Temple."
What kind of officials are you? If you can't manage them well, I'll replace them with someone else."
Seeing that the official seemed to be angry, Jiang Gu carefully picked up the evidence, glanced at it a few times, rolled his eyes, then knelt down in the tunnel with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, I am not being strict in your rule.
Punish the crime.”
"Hmph! Tell me, what's the matter with you coming here this time?" Zhao Zhen didn't say what crime he wanted to punish. This was like a sword hanging over his head, which would play a great role in dealing with this person in the future.
deterrent effect.
"Your Majesty, I just heard..." Jiang Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, told all the things that happened in Meixiangyuan.
He had just finished telling what happened, and when he was about to impeach Su Shi, Pang Ji on the side said, "How big of a deal do you think it is? Wasn't it just that Tong Zhilang beat up Honglu Shaoqing?
Don't you know that Tongzhirou has a brain disease, and when he gets sick, he doesn't recognize anyone?"
