There are always some things that seem very complicated, but if you make up your mind, plan carefully, prepare well, and then implement them step by step, you will find that everything is not as difficult as you imagined. The key to success or failure depends on whether you have
The courage and strength to implement it concretely.
For example, Zhao Junchen planned to recruit talents for himself through the National Examination. He started preparing two or three months ago. After that, he laid chess pieces, won people's hearts, exchanged interests, and stole exam questions. After all preparations were completed, he waited until the National Examination.
When the Spring Festival really started, for Zhao Junchen, the plan was already a success, and he no longer had to worry about it.
A few days after Zhao Junchen got the test questions, the examination finally began.
With either confidence or anxiety, the candidates came to the Gongyuan in the northeast of the inner city of Beijing to participate in three nine-day Spring Examinations and fight for their own destiny.
Among them, the exam-taking students, headed by Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei, who had already taken refuge with Zhao Junchen, were naturally full of confidence because they already knew the test questions and their talents were already good.
As for whether they will be ranked in the apricot list in the end and what ranking they will get, Zhao Junchen is not very concerned. If he already knows the test questions and still fails in the end, it can only show that he is a fool, but Zhao Junchen's disciples are
There is never any need for fools.
Therefore, when the joint examination began, Zhao Junchen no longer cared about the results of the joint examination. Instead, he sent Xichang fanzi and his intelligence network in Beijing to inquire about information, and closely watched all the troubles in Beijing.
.
The examination, held every three years, is a time when everyone is paying attention. If something unexpected happens at this time, it will inevitably cause greater repercussions.
According to Zhao Junchen's estimation, the days when the three pavilion elders Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao would lay out and close the net for Prince Zhu Heyu should be within these few days.
The development of things was indeed beyond Zhao Junchen's expectation.
On the fourth day after the joint examination began, Zhao Junchen received news that dozens of refugees suddenly arrived in Beijing. After going to Beijing to inquire about it for a while, he rushed to the location of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of the prince's party, after He Ming was killed, perhaps he felt that his time was running out. Xiao Wenruan, the prince's grand master, changed his previous habit of just recuperating in the palace. These days, he has worked tirelessly and spared no effort to do his best for the prince.
, as a consultant in everything, and since having the experienced Xiao Wen and Ruan to help, the prince's party has been doing things in the government much more smoothly.
Among them, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the first to bear the brunt. The yamen, which was originally the most entangled with various forces, was now forcibly smoothed out by Xiao Wenruan. In addition, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's left inspector and censor Li Chengru, and the right inspector and censor Lu Chunxiaodu
He is a prince, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate has completely become the headquarters of the prince's party. Even if there is any dissent, it will be difficult to cause waves.
On this day, the fourth day of the examination, there was a lot of excitement outside the Yamen of the Duchayuan.
Thirty or forty people dressed as refugees suddenly gathered outside the office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They all knelt down, shouted grievances, and held petitions in their hands, saying they were here to file a complaint.
In response to this, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who showed the prince's love and affection for the people, did not dare to neglect. Starting from Li Chengru and Lu Chunxiao, they came outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate one after another, wanting to know the details of the matter.
However, when Li Chengru and Lu Chunxiao brought a group of censors to the gate of the Imperial Palace, the scene in front of them shocked them all.
Without him, the image of these refugees in front of me was too miserable. Not to mention their ragged clothes, yellow faces, and thin muscles. There were two wounded people lying on stretchers behind them, and they were moaning in pain.
And all around, the people in the capital who had gotten the news from nowhere were circling around to watch the excitement. For some reason, the news spread very quickly, and the refugees came to the outside of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for just a cup of tea.
As time passed, it actually attracted hundreds of people from the capital to watch.
Seeing this situation, Lu Chunxiao did not dare to neglect, walked a few steps quickly, walked down the steps of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came to the refugees, and called out loudly: "Fellows, where did you come from? What happened? Is there anything wrong?
If you have any grievances, tell me quickly and I will definitely make the decision for you!"
Seeing the appearance of Lu Chunxiao, all the refugees were excited, and voices such as "Master Qingtian has made the decision for us" kept coming and going.
Seeing the chaos in the scene, Lu Chunxiao quickly shouted: "Guys, be quiet, I am Lu Chunxiao, the right inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you have any grievances, I will definitely appeal for you. But folks, please don't mess up. Please nominate someone."
A leading person should come and tell me the case, so that it can be explained clearly!"
When the refugees saw that Lu Chunxiao had an elegant temperament and was full of righteousness, and the expression of concern when he looked at them did not seem to be fake, they couldn't help but be convinced. After some push and pull, it was an old man who represented him.
The old man held the paper on his head, shouted "Master Qingtian" in a Shandong accent, and knelt down in front of Lu Chunxiao.
Lu Chunxiao quickly took the petition, then helped the old man up with his own hands, and then turned to the other refugees and shouted: "Fellows, get up, don't kneel, I will make the decision for you."
However, the refugees still did not get up, as if they were afraid that Lu Chunxiao would not make decisions for them after they got up.
Understanding the habits of the people, Lu Chunxiao had no choice but to force it. He just opened the paper to check and asked the old man: "Where is my father-in-law from? And why are you here?"
The old man had never seen such an official who was so friendly to the people. He couldn't help but get excited and said in a trembling voice: "The common people, the common people are from Heze, Shandong. They came to Beijing to find Mr. Qingtian to sue the prefect of Heze, Zhang Shunde! Mr. Qingtian,
We Heze people are suffering. The black-hearted Zhang Shunde said that he was preparing for the emperor's southern tour. In the past few months, he has done all kinds of unscrupulous things. In order to build a palace for the emperor, he demolished nearly a hundred houses and left
Hundreds of villagers are homeless, and the taxes collected have been nearly tripled in one breath. If the common people disobey, they will be imprisoned and beaten severely. The common people can no longer survive.
When he wanted to go to Beijing to file a complaint, Zhang Shunde actually sent someone to stop him halfway..."
While speaking, the old man pointed at the wounded people lying on stretchers behind the refugees and said loudly: "Sir, those two people were beaten alive like this by the people sent by Zhang Shunde to stop them on their way to Beijing. Qingtian
Sir, you must make the decision for us people!"
With that said, the old man knelt down again and kowtowed to Lu Chunxiao.
The refugees behind the old man also followed suit and kowtowed.
However, after hearing the old man's complaint and looking at the paper in his hand, Lu Chunxiao couldn't help but let out a low cry, and then looked at Li Chengru next to him, his expression full of shock.
Without him, as early as two and a half months ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had received a letter from the Supervisory Censor of Shandong Province impeaching Zhang Shunde, the prefect of Heze, Shandong. The content was almost the same as the pleading that the old man handed them now.
.
However, at that time, the prince had just reported to Emperor Deqing that the preparations for the southern tour were going smoothly and without any mistakes, and there was no waste of people or money. He was highly praised by Emperor Deqing, and his reputation and momentum were greatly increased because of this. The impeachment letter
The authenticity of the document was unknown for a while. If it were submitted, it would be a disappointment. If it was not submitted, the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would be questioned. For a time, both Lu Chunxiao and Li Chengru were in a dilemma.
In the end, it was the Crown Prince's Grand Master Xiao Wenruan who came up with the idea, copied a copy of the Zhezi, deliberately made a few wrong words, and then dismissed the Zhezi on this grounds.
Lu Chunxiao took advantage of the rejection of the paper and sent someone to Heze for an unannounced investigation. The conclusion he got was that "everything went smoothly and no waste of money or money was found." After that, Lu Chunxiao felt relieved and stopped thinking about it.
All subsequent impeachment issues were suppressed.
I never thought that after such a long time, things would become turbulent again!
If what the old man said is true, then what happened back then will be regarded by all officials as the Metropolitan Procuratorate's deliberate protection of the prince. Not only will the Metropolitan Procuratorate's Yamen undergo a rectification, but the prince's own reputation as a wise man in the government and the public will also be affected.
Received a major blow!
When he thought of this, Lu Chunxiao's mind felt dizzy and he couldn't help but panic. He subconsciously confirmed to the old man: "Old man, are what you said true? Is this really what happened?"
The old man nodded repeatedly and said: "Master Qingtian, what the old man said is absolutely true. If Master Qingtian doesn't believe it, you can ask the folks behind the old man, they will testify for the old man."
"It's absolutely true, my lord!"
"Master Qingtian makes the decision for us!"
"Sir, the people of Heze are suffering!"
As the old man finished speaking, the remaining refugees shouted.
Seeing that things didn't seem to be fake, Lu Chunxiao couldn't help but become even more flustered.
On the other side, Li Chengru's city was shallower after all, but he couldn't help but said loudly: "How is this possible! We clearly sent people to Heze to investigate, and there was no waste of money and people at all! This is a conspiracy! This must be a conspiracy!"
As Li Chengru finished speaking, all the refugees looked shocked and disappointed, and then there were cries again.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Lu Chunxiao quickly assured the refugees loudly: "People, this matter is of great importance. I cannot make the decision at will without verification. I hope that all the folks will stay in Beijing for a few more days until I
After the official sent people to Heze to investigate, if what the villagers said is true, I will definitely seek justice for the villagers! I also ask the villagers to rest assured that I can inspect everything you need to live in Beijing these days.
The hospital is responsible!”
As Lu Chunxiao finished speaking, someone among the refugees suddenly shouted: "Sir, you have said so much, will your procuratorate accept this case or not?"
This voice was actually full of energy, unlike that of a refugee.
However, Lu Chunxiao was in a state of confusion and did not notice such details for a moment. He just shouted: "There is insufficient evidence now and it cannot be accepted yet. After I collect enough evidence..."
However, just after Lu Chunxiao's words, the voice shouted again: "I have said so much, but it is not accepted?! Folks, I have long heard that the preparations for the emperor's southern tour were all handled by the prince.
I am personally responsible for it, and if something goes wrong with the preparations for the southern tour, the prince must be to blame! As far as I know, all the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the prince's people, so now they are always asking for help, always evading it, and just not accepting it.
Our case!”
Then, another voice echoed: "That's right, folks, this dog official is delaying us in order to protect the prince. If we really listen to him and wait in the capital, it will only take a few days for Zhang Shunde to be here."
The bastard is here to catch us! We can’t listen to him!"
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate won't accept our case. Let's go to Dali Temple! Let's go to the Criminal Department! Is there no place in Beijing where we can reason?"
Following the encouragement of these voices, the expressions of the refugees were first disappointed, then sad, and finally turned into grief and anger, and finally they all responded.
"That's right, let's go to Dali Temple! Let's go to the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Let's go find the other great masters of Qingtian!"
"I don't believe there is no room for reasoning!"
One or two sounds, and finally the sound became a chorus, and even the people around watching the excitement were shouting and cheering.
Then, not knowing who took the lead, the refugees stood up one after another, and then left the Duchayuan Yamen, but went to find the Criminal Department Yamen and Dali Temple Yamen.
Looking at everything in front of them, Lu Chunxiao and Li Chengru all looked pale.
They know that the trouble may have just begun next!
