Emperor Su He looked at Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu.
He slammed the memorial on the table and said angrily: "There are still cases in this world that the Inspectorate cannot investigate."
Emperor Su He was not angry because of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but because someone was obstructing the Metropolitan Procuratorate's investigation.
Neither Prime Minister Wei Shiming nor Governor Feng Sanqiu could hinder the Inspectorate's investigation of the case.
Emperor Su He ordered Han Youzhe to perform poorly at the imperial meeting because of his young master.
He ordered the dismissal of Han Youzhe, the Shaofu Ling, and Lu Guanghan, the new top scholar last year, served as the new Shaofu Ling.
The Inspectorate investigated Han Youzhe, the young master's order, and found out in this investigation.
After the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated the case of Han Youzhe, the young master's order, he wanted to continue the investigation, but he encountered obstacles from unknown forces.
Emperor Su He knew very well that there were only a few people in the capital who had the ability to hinder the Inspectorate's investigation.
When Li Yuanzheng, the censor of the left governor, heard Emperor Su He's reprimand, he bowed his head and remained silent.
Emperor Su He saw the behavior of Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu.
He asked in a cold tone: "Tell me! Who in the palace is it that prevented you from investigating the case?"
How could the upright Li Yuanzheng appear so helpless?
Other forces couldn't do it, it could only come from the influence of the emperor.
There is no need for him to dig into the young master's corner. Someone in the palace may take action.
Emperor Su He sighed in his heart. He had already anticipated this situation when he established the system for selecting talents for princes.
The princes are growing up day by day, and the concubines in the palace will definitely be unable to bear it.
Queen Wang Wenjun, the most powerful queen outside the palace, and concubine Li Huixin.
Most of the Wang and Li families they could rely on were transferred overseas.
Emperor Su He could not think of any other concubine who could achieve such a level.
Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, struggled for a long time. He saw Emperor Su He's expression gradually turning cold.
He gritted his teeth and finally said helplessly: "Your Majesty, yes, yes, it's the Queen Mother."
Emperor Su He's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "The Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has passed away for more than two months.
She can come out of the imperial mausoleum and influence your procuratorate's handling of the case."
Emperor Su He could not believe that when the Queen Mother was alive, she did not care about anything in the palace and only played with her grandson every day.
Nowadays, everyone in the civil and military dynasties does not know that the Queen Mother has passed away. How can it affect the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
When Li Yuanzheng, the imperial censor of Zuodu, saw Emperor Su He's behavior, he knew that telling these reasons would inevitably lead to the consequences.
Li Yuanzheng took advantage of Emperor Su He not to continue to get angry.
He quickly knelt on the ground and explained: "I am guilty and should not alienate the Tian family.
But this incident is unmistakable. Su He, the fifth son of Earl Su Erniu, united with the Shaofu to embezzle the Shaofu's property.
The Inspectorate had found some clues a long time ago, and the Empress Dowager ordered someone to issue an order to stop the investigation of this case and take away the relevant files.
His Majesty ordered a re-investigation. The previous files have been destroyed and all evidence has disappeared.
The most critical point is that I cannot guarantee that the information investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be leaked."
Emperor Su He learned about this situation and could tell that Li Yuanzheng was telling the truth.
It involves too many people and clans, so it is really not suitable for a high-profile investigation.
Emperor Su He knew that the Queen Mother was very soft-hearted, let alone a direct relative of the Su family asking for mercy.
Even if a member of the Su family asked for mercy, the Queen Mother would always help if she could.
The Queen Mother was born in a lower-class rural area with a clan system. In her mind, the unity of the clan is the most important.
When members of the clan make small mistakes, they should be covered up as much as possible.
This matter involves the second uncle Su Erniu's family, making the whole case more complicated.
The most restless among the Su family is Su Erniu's family.
Emperor Su He saw that they had made no big mistakes based on their past achievements, so the most serious punishment was to issue an edict to reprimand them.
The Su Daniu family gave birth to King Su Xiong of Zhao and King Su Hu of Wei. Now this family is no longer in the Dahua Empire.
Su Daniu went to the State of Zhao to enjoy his fortune, and his family's heirs and relatives all went to the State of Zhao and the State of Wei, where there were a large number of positions that allowed them to enjoy glory and wealth.
Su Siniu was frail, sickly, and congenitally infertile. He had always done his duty and was a transparent person in the Su family.
He didn't even come to the capital, but was in charge of the Su family's ancestral home.
Su Wuniu was once the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now he is the chief minister in charge of the clan.
He has a broad vision and usually restrains his own people.
He supports his family to research technology or open factories.
Su Wuniu has a rich heritage, and his family can accumulate experience through unlimited trials and errors, and they have all become scholars specializing in a certain field or factory owners with a small fortune.
The most troublesome thing is Su Erniu. This family loves to compare, especially with Su Daniu's family.
The Su Daniu family gave birth to two princes, and now they have gone overseas to found a country with a population of millions.
Su Erniu's family always felt that they had contributed to the establishment of the Great China Empire, and that the emperor had mistreated the meritorious officials.
Emperor Su He knew what they were thinking, that is, they also wanted to build a country overseas. Even if their individual merits were insufficient, they could combine the merits of the three brothers.
Emperor Su He would never agree to this matter, and he could do this if he agreed.
When others follow suit, the entire aristocratic system will be in chaos.
How could the emperor also know the reason for Zuodu Yushi Li Yuanzheng's worries?
Su Yan was the minister of Dali Temple, and the officials of the Three Laws Department often transferred work to each other.
Who knows who in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Su Yan’s person?
Su Que controls the State Administration of Taxation, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will investigate the Shaofu from the perspective of taxation. It is very likely that they will not find anything.
Emperor Su He looked at Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, and ordered: "Don't let the current censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate the case. Transfer a team of people from outside.
Huo Qidao, the censor of the Gansu Procuratorate, was so famous that he was transferred to Beijing as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate this case."
Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, heard the emperor mention the name Huo Qidao.
He asked with some worry: "Your Majesty, Huo Qidao caused chaos in Songjiang Mansion, scaring dozens of people in Gansu official circles to resign.
He claims that his idol is Hai Rui, and many people say that he is just trying to gain fame.
Transferring this assassin to the capital is likely to cause big trouble."
Li Yuanzheng believed that he was upright. He dared to swear to his ancestors that he had never wronged any official.
But when he encountered too much power, his bottom line was relatively flexible.
For example, there were some officials who were not very clean, but the emperor reused this official to do things, so Li Yuanzheng would not be asking for trouble.
Huo Qidao is one of those stupid people who only follows rules and regulations.
His most famous deed was sending his own uncle to prison.
"It's him." Emperor Su He confirmed.
"The Duke of Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.
Whether it is true or false, he can practice one idea throughout his life, that is, to be impeccable.
A person’s deeds do not matter his heart.”
Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, heard what Emperor Su He said, and he handled the case according to the emperor's ideas.
After Emperor Suhe left Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, he called Su Changsheng, the commander of the Xuanwu Guards.
Su Changsheng had a lot of leisure time during this period. All the people with great achievements in the Great China Empire were transferred overseas by the emperor.
As the sword in the emperor's hand, the Xuanwu Guard has not been used for a long time.
Su Changsheng bowed and saluted: "If there is something important underground, tell Ergou to take care of it."
"Chang Sheng, you are also a Duke, why do you call yourself a second dog?"
Emperor Su He laughed and cursed when he saw Su Changsheng calling himself Ergou.
Su Changsheng bowed again and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I will always be your second dog. I will definitely do whatever your Majesty orders."
"I won't argue with you over this trivial matter, as long as you Xuanwu Guards don't alarm Su Erniu's family.
Investigate Su Erniu's family in detail and collect evidence of their crimes.
Use Su Erniu's family as a breakthrough point to investigate the clan more deeply."
Su Changsheng stood up straight and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Xuanwu Guard will definitely handle this matter."
He was extremely excited. The emperor was going to take action against the clan. This was a major case that would make the Xuanwu Guards famous all over the world. Their reputation would never be inferior to that of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
After Emperor Su He saw Su Changsheng leaving, he sighed deeply.
An important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that the vassal kings in various places devoured the people's fat and their anointing.
Millions of clan members received royal salaries and sucked blood from the Ming Dynasty, draining away the Ming Dynasty’s meager heritage.
Emperor Su He would never allow the Great China Empire to become like this.
He will not be stingy with rewards for the clan's children to strive for self-improvement. If they want to become blood suckers, he will never allow them.
…………………………
Gansu Lanzhou Inspectorate, Huo Qidao has not received the telegram from the capital.
The news of his transfer to the capital has spread throughout the city.
Two officials, one fat and one thin, were preparing to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for business.
The fat official said in a sour tone: "An official like Huo Qidao can also be promoted.
God is so disgusted that he would allow such a person to be promoted."
The official was very happy and said: "This is a great thing. Huo Qidao left Gansu and went to the capital to harm other officials.
It’s much better than having no official life here.”
The thin official wanted to continue talking, but the fat official suddenly slapped the thin official on the back.
He said in a flattering tone: "Congratulations to Mr. Huo on his promotion from Xiaguan."
Huo Qidao, a big man from Shandong who is 1.8 meters tall and has a square face, heard someone congratulating him.
He looked a little surprised and looked at the two people in confusion.
"Master Huo, the news has spread throughout the city.
You are about to be promoted to the imperial censorship of the Imperial Procuratorate."
He then pointed forward and said in surprise: "Master Huo, look, the director of the telegraph office has personally come to deliver the documents to you."
Huo Qidao soon received a telegram from the capital.
With this transfer order from the Inspectorate, he was promoted to the third rank of the Imperial Inspectorate and the Censor of the Capital.
The special thing about this transfer order is that in addition to the signature of Zuodu Yushi, there is also the signature of the emperor.
This means that his promotion was personally appointed by the emperor.
Huo Qidao took this transfer order and was filled with emotion.
He wandered around the officialdom for several years for the sake of his ideals and the revival of Legalism.
What he does is not recognized by the world, relying on his excellent work level.
Even if some people want to suppress him, they can only transfer him to a remote place and cannot completely suppress him.
Now Fei Ji is in peace, and his efforts have been recognized by Emperor Su He.
Huo Qidao looked at the contents of the transfer order and asked him to rush to the capital as soon as possible.
He can also recruit a team of twenty people from various places to assist him in investigating the case.
"The treatment is so good. There is a serious case in the capital waiting for me to investigate."
Huo Qidao put away the transfer order. He knew that only extremely difficult cases would cause the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be so anxious and allow him to recruit his own people.
Only at this time, when no one else can do it, can he shine his own light.
Huo Qidao handed over the affairs of the Gansu Metropolitan Procuratorate at an extremely fast speed.
Through telegrams, he selected the twenty most elite censors who he thought had outstanding performance but whose talents were not recognized due to various reasons, and transferred them to work under his command.
Huo Qidao got on the train to the capital. He knew that his career would be like this train, running towards the distance at high speed.
…………………………
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!
Su Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, stayed in the brothel during the mourning period for the Queen Mother.
He was reprimanded by the emperor's decree and dismissed from his position as Minister of Dali Temple."
When Huo Qidao heard what was in the newspaper, he immediately bought the newspaper and read the case carefully.
After reading the story of the case, he noticed something unusual.
Who is Su Yan? He is the younger brother of Emperor Su He and the first-rank minister of Dali Temple.
Given his status, under normal circumstances, he would not be dismissed from office because of this incident.
The teahouse that Su Yan frequented was suddenly sealed by the Ministry of Punishments and determined to be an unregistered brothel.
The Ministry of Punishment also found from the brothel records that Su Yan often visited the brothel some time ago, and the times when she visited several times were not long after the death of the Queen Mother and the members of the clan were in mourning.
With Su Yan's ability, it is very unusual for this matter to be exposed and develop into such a big deal.
Huo Qidao had a hunch that his transfer to the capital might be related to this matter.
He quickly rushed to the Inspectorate and was immediately summoned by Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu.
Huo Qidao talked with Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, for a long time.
He walked out of the room with a slight sweat on his head.
He knows a good case and will never wait for him to investigate it.
This is not the family of Zha Suyan, but the family of Su Erniu, a member of the Zha royal family.
The level of difficulty is completely different.
Su Erniu's family, not to mention the forces involved behind the scenes.
Just looking at their family, Su Ying is a Duke and the Minister of Legal Affairs of the Metropolitan Governor. Su Yan is a Marquis and the Minister of Dali Temple. Su Que is a Marquis and the Director of the State Administration of Taxation.
The family consists of a duke, two marquises, and the second uncle of Emperor Su He.
Huo Qidao investigates this case. Not to mention the difficulty of the investigation, he still has to complete the case.
As long as there is any doubt about this case, he will be shattered to pieces and never be able to stand up again.
Huo Qidao came to the official residence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was lying on the bed thinking about the case.
He could start investigating the case when most of his men arrived in Beijing.
Huo Qidao also knew why Zuodu Yushi sent outsiders to investigate the case.
Due to the complicated relationships between officials in the capital, it would be difficult for the censor in the capital to investigate the case and find evidence.
The most critical point in this case is the attitude of Emperor Su He.
But looking at what happened to Su Yan, Emperor Su He's attitude was relatively clear.
This is also the reason why Huo Qidao dared to take on this case instead of resigning.
He would rather resign than investigate a case that really had no hope at all.
Because in this kind of case, even if he is broken into pieces, it will have no effect at all.
Huo Qidao soon waited until his favorite censor came to Beijing.
They discussed at the official residence which direction to start investigating the case.
There was a crisp gunshot, which directly broke the glass of the room, and bullets were embedded in the cabinet.
Yu Shimen saw broken glass and bullets on the wooden cabinet.
Tao Muhua was the calmest and analyzed: "Master Huo, colleagues, someone is warning us.
If you dare to investigate further, the bullet will not hit the wooden cabinet, but our heads."
