In the main camp of Wansheng Town, Zeng Baohua cursed angrily.
"Thirteenth Lang worked hard to help the Su scholars and the old party members, so that they could be pardoned and recalled to the capital, and resettled in the west and south capitals. I didn't expect that this guy would stab him in the back. What an ungrateful thing!"
Liu Kui, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, looked a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Chao Wujiu did make an unintentional mistake. He is far away in Xinzhou, and is either busy with the tax supervision or concentrating on writing, so he has no time to pay attention to the important affairs of the court. He He escorted the tax banker to Beijing, but somehow he was pardoned and recalled to Beijing, where he was placed as a clerk in the Hongwen Hall."
"Li Xianggong called him over. This fool thought that Li Gong had recommended him and came to the rescue again. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the old and cunning Li Xianggong poured into him, which prompted him to write down that Impeachment text.”
Liu Kui had some friendship with Chao Buzhi, so he went to inquire about it.
Recommended by Zhao Si, he was promoted to Minister of Justice to clean up a lot of bad things left by Shao.
The Song Dynasty was rather strange. The six ministers were often used to post posts and pay salaries. Most of the people who really took charge of the practical affairs of the ministry were the ministers of each ministry.
Liu Kui was recommended to this position, which was tantamount to taking charge of the work of the Ministry of Punishment, and was also tantamount to embarking on the ship of King Jian, so he couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
Zeng Baohua, Changsun Moli, Zhang Shuye and Liu Kai couldn't laugh or cry after listening to it.
"His Royal Highness King Jian was tricked by Chao Wujiu this time! As soon as his article came out, it became expensive in Luoyang and was copied everywhere. Every more copy of it is a blow to His Highness's reputation."
Liu Kai said angrily.
Zhang Shuye shook his head slowly.
"It's useless to say this now. The key is the war in the northwest. If the king wins, as he said before, the winner will not be blamed. No matter how many impeachments are made, it will become water without a source. The root of the tree has disappeared into smoke. It’s just that it’s out of reach, and we can’t help even if we want to, so it’s all up to the king himself.”
"Alas, why would your Majesty take risks so rashly? The major smuggling case, plus the six major cases including Baiyuan, are all major cases. Your Majesty, it is a great achievement to have verified it. Why bother to wage war without permission? The odds of winning are uncertain."
Liu Kui couldn't help but complain.
I have just boarded the ship, and if you, the captain and helmsman, act like this, the ship will capsize, boss!
Damn it, I don’t know if it’s too late to get off the ship now?
"In extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things." Zhang Shuye glanced at Liu Kui and said calmly.
"But Zhang is a little curious. The public opinion is raging and has the potential to sweep everything. The officials are silent and secretly protect the king. I can understand it. Vice Minister Lu is silent and I can understand it. Fan Gong has an appointment with the king. He didn't say anything, and he supported him silently, so I can understand. Why didn't Xianggong Zhang add insult to injury? He didn't say anything, and Xianggong Li was jumping up and down, so it was difficult for him to do anything."
Zhang Shuye's doubts were answered by Changsun Moli, who had been silent all this time.
"The Five Routes along the border were the envoys to appease Zhang Xianggong. The king must have secretly communicated with Zhang Xianggong through him and reached a tacit understanding."
When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense.
Liu Kai still looked worried, "We can't control the war in the northwest for the time being. But how should we deal with the raging public opinion in Kaifeng City?"
Zeng Baohua jumped out, "Don't we have newspapers and magazines? Let's get started, clear up the rumors, and then fight back!"
"We are already doing it. If it weren't for these newspapers and magazines desperately cheering for the king, and the reputation that the king has accumulated before, the situation would be even more dangerous than this. The key is that this time the opponent seized the opportunity too timely."
"The execution of the criminal scholar-officials has aroused resentment among the literati. In addition, tens of thousands of elites are under siege, and the situation is not good for the king. There are also people with ulterior motives who are working together to incite the imperial students, scholars and scholars.
.When Chao Buzhi’s heroic essay came out at the end, it was like a torch thrown into a thatch pile.”
"Then we must extinguish this fire. Even if it cannot be extinguished, we must make it smaller. Otherwise, if the officials and ministers cannot bear the pressure and issue an edict to blame the king, then the problem is over and everything will be too late.
Already."
Everyone turned their attention to Changsun Moli, who was said to be the most resourceful among them all.
"In this case, we must make a risky move."
"What risky move?"
Before Changsun Moli could answer, someone reported outside the door.
"Yu Gaopin has something to do and wants to see Mr. Zeng."
Yu Huatian? What did he come to do?
"Yu Gaopin, what's the matter?" Zeng Baohua asked.
"Guan Zeng and several officials are here. The young one is here on the order of the princess."
"Oh, what are your orders from the princess?"
"Ms. Zeng asked, do you know any censors who are willing to risk their lives to gain fame and future?"
Why is the princess looking for such a person?
Zeng Baohua looked around at everyone, and then Yu Huatian said: "We are all our own people here. Yu Gaopin might as well explain the princess's explanation thoroughly, so that we can have a clear target."
"The princess has told me to tell everyone to obey the orders of Master Zeng." Yu Huatian responded with a smile, "A few days ago, an illegal tabloid published a rumor saying that the prince was not the biological daughter of Queen Liu, but was born to her.
Born to the palace maid Zhuo, who was rumored to have died violently a few days ago."
Yu Huatian's words were very soft, but they were like thunder in everyone's ears.
Everyone was stunned.
After a while, the eldest grandson, Moli, felt ashamed and said: "My intelligence is not as good as that of the princess."
Zhang Shuye stroked his beard and said: "If this is the case, it is indeed very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be directly killed by the officials. But once you survive, you will be famous all over the world. It really requires someone who is willing to risk his life to gain fame.
A promising censor."
Liu Kui quickly thought of a suitable candidate, "Let's try our best to protect him! As for whether he will be killed or become famous all over the world, it depends on his fortune. It's just that his memorial was handed over to target the public opinion and impeachment of King Jian."
, will be much less. Those guys are very smart. When the officials are furious, no one dares to get into trouble. What if they are accidentally injured? "
"Okay, then we'll do it right away."
Zhang Mansion, Professor Zhang is advising his father Zhang Dun.
"My lord, my uncle has informed His Royal Highness King Jian of his intentions and asked you to help. My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to support King Jian and turn the conflict into friendship."
"Turn hostility into friendship? Brother Zhifu must have seen something to persuade me so hard. Well, he must have seen the Western Army and his Highness, and already has a heart for His Highness King Jian. There are strong reinforcements from outside and military police inside. Zhao Shi
Three is already unstoppable. No matter how bad it is, he will still be the second Duke of Zhou who will leave his name in history."
Zhang Shou thought his father had changed his mind, and just when he was happy, he didn't expect Zhang Dun to change the subject.
"It's just that I have my own pride. When he, Zhao Shisan, punched me in the Chui Gong Hall, he even threw a smelly boot at my chest. It was such a shame and humiliation, unprecedented, and he just laughed it off and wiped out his grudges? I'm not that despicable.
!Unless he, Zhao Shisan, goes to the door of Zhang's Mansion in person, bows and salutes, and apologizes to me, otherwise, I will always remember his grudge!"
Zhang was anxious, "Your Excellency, Mr. Li strongly advocated severe punishment for His Royal Highness King Jian in the court. Zhao Zhengfu and others responded from a distance below. King Shen, King Suining, and Duke Qi all responded secretly. They raised and lowered their hands with great momentum. I heard that they were deceived.
There are more and more imperial students, scholars and common people. Sir, if you don’t take action, I’m afraid there will be big trouble.”
"Sanlang, if His Highness Prince Jian can't even pass this level, how will he cope with the bigger storms coming later?" Zhang Dun stroked his beard, unmoved.
Professor Zhang was so anxious that he could do nothing.
"Master, someone is coming from the palace."
"What's up?"
"I don't know. It's said to have been given by an official."
"Please."
Liang Congzheng walked in quickly, and after meeting him, he gasped and said: "Xianggong Zhang, the official family is really angry this time. We asked our family to come over to deliver the oracle, and we must find out who gave him this Zhou Haojie."
How brave!"
"What's wrong?"
"Zhou Haojie directly submitted a memorial to the palace. Mr. Zhang, please take a look."
Zhang Dun took the memorial and took a look at it. When he saw the sentence "Killing Zhuo and taking away his son, it is possible to deceive others, but it is also possible to deceive heaven." He knew something in his mind.
"It's really abominable to chase rumors and listen to rumors! The minister will go and investigate immediately! Find out the truth and report it to the officials." Zhang Dun responded immediately. This chapter has been completed!
