Chapter 151: Overthrow Zhao Pu
After a fierce battle, with the strong support of the emperor, the left prime minister Zhao Pu's faction was finally defeated.
After being hinted that they would not be held accountable, other senior officials involved in the case retreated and kept silent. When it is possible to protect oneself, it is better to watch others suffer.
The chief judge Lu Duoxuan finally won a perfect victory! All the torture instruments in the cell were used, and after the mouth of a corrupt official was pried open by severe torture and coercion and inducement, this alliance that refused to confess was also disintegrated.
Under the persuasion and torture hinted by the chief judge Lu Duoxuan, the name of Zuo Xiang Zhao Pu came out of their mouths. When
Zuo Xiang Zhao Pu was ordered to wait for trial at home, he made a bold statement to his subordinates who depended on him. "Even if I am dismissed and sent out for this case, what can I do? I am destined to have ups and downs in this life. If I escape this limelight, I will still be appointed as the head of the court officials."
Although the officials of Zhao Pu's faction were uneasy in their hearts, they were also soothed by the calmness and stability of the prime minister. They encouraged each other, huddled together for warmth, and tried their best to use means for the prime minister, hoping to keep this towering tree that could shelter from the wind and rain.
After the execution order came down, Zhao Pu was truly terrified!
The emperor was ruthless and not only dismissed him from his position as prime minister, he was also sentenced to be exiled to Yunnan, a place full of poisonous miasma!
After the eunuch who read the imperial order left, Zhao Pu immediately vomited a mouthful of blood that had been stuck in his chest!
The Zhao family was in a panic, and the women were crying in fear as if the sky had fallen. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, this was the first time that a first-rank official was severely punished for corruption, so no one had expected that the prime minister, who was the head of all officials, would have such a miserable end.
Gao Qishan, the staff member, suggested worriedly, "Master, the only way now is to delay leaving Beijing and find a chance to make a comeback."
After Zhao Pu spat out a mouthful of blood, he came to his senses and cursed angrily, "The current emperor is so cruel. He doesn't even care about our old friendship. He wants to put me to death!"
Gao Qishan sighed and said sadly, "Alas! The current emperor is narrow-minded and jealous. Compared with Emperor Taizu, his methods are cruel and ruthless! The emperor doesn't care about the old friendship of the "Golden Casket Alliance" that helped him to take the throne. Master, you can only swallow this bitter fruit."
Zhao Pu closed his eyes and said nothing, secretly regretting it!
If he had acted boldly and decisively at the beginning, and had led his ministers to push Taizu's own son, Prince of Wei Zhao Dezhao, to the throne after Emperor Taizu's sudden death, how could there be such a disaster today?
He was extremely regretful, and with a decadent look on his face, he ordered in a deep voice: "Qishan, help me write a memorial stating that I am seriously ill and cannot leave for Yunnan. Let Qin Guangnian and others contact all the officials, and make sure that I can stay in the capital to recuperate and find an opportunity to make another plan."
Gao Qishan bowed and accepted the order, and then went to find someone to organize this matter.
Zhao Pu closed his eyes and rested his mind, but his mind was calculating rapidly.
[While staying in the capital to recuperate, should I help Prince Qi seize the throne? Or should I report him to the emperor to make meritorious deeds and atone for my sins? 】…
After the Yingzhou disaster relief silver grain corruption case was thoroughly investigated and sentenced, Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who was only hanging on with one breath, miraculously expelled the poison and healed his injuries, and his body recovered.
When the emperor heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed a teacup!
Qin Wang's uncle, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, is really good!
According to the report from Wang Jien and the two imperial doctors, Qin Wang was about to die, and the silly princess was planning to remarry, but she was saved from the gates of hell by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor.
Isn't it true that overwork will cause the residual poison to recur? If you can't die after a recurrence, then I will let you overwork more and the residual poison will recur more times! The result of working you to death is better than assassinating you. History books will record my reputation as a wise ruler who knows how to use talents. Who can I blame for the poor health of the King of Qin?
The emperor looked at Cheng Wuya who was silent, and then looked at Wang Jien who bowed his head and dared not breathe.
"Now that the King of Qin has recovered, the case of many missing children around Changhua County in Jiangnan will be handed over to him to investigate!"
Wang Jien quickly flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise! Since His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so capable, he should share more of the worries of Your Majesty."
The clouds on the emperor's face disappeared, and a sinister smile emerged: "Good! Since the King of Qin is so talented , , with outstanding abilities, how can he be left at home to be an idle prince? I am a wise monarch who knows how to use people, and I should deal with him constantly entrusting important tasks to me! "
Cheng Wuya also understood and flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, this is an open and aboveboard conspiracy!"...
On the first day after Qin Wang Zhao Defang recovered and went to court, he was given an important position by the wise and capable emperor.
The case of the disappearance of young children in Changhua County, Jiangnan, which had caused panic among the people, was investigated by the capable Qin Wang Zhao Defang in person in Jiangnan.
The long hat wings prevented them from whispering, and the ministers communicated with their eyes.
The case of the disappearance of young children near Changhua County, which had been going on for more than two and a half years, had left several waves of officials sent by the Ministry of Justice at a loss. The emperor handed the case to the capable Prince Qin, and no one objected.
Prince Qin Zhao Defang calmly stepped out to receive the order and made a request.
He wanted to bring along Shen Xi, the Kaifeng Prefecture prosecutor who was demoted for the assassination of the fourth prince, and let this top detective in the capital help with the case. The emperor readily agreed and immediately promoted Shen Xi to the position of Dali Temple Chief,
making him the assistant of the Prince Qin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ...
After leaving the court and leaving the palace, Prince Qin Zhao Defang did not return to the Prince Qin's mansion, but went straight to the camp of the Big Foot Women's Corps in the west of the city to seduce his own princess.
Luo Li looked at the King of Qin who came to her with dissatisfaction, "This is the important military base that I planned to build. How did you, an idle person, get in?"
King of Qin Zhao Defang walked with an elegant pace and smiled indifferently, "I was ordered to go to Lin'an to investigate a case. I would like to ask if the princess wants to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan?"
[Aren't you dreaming of setting up two nests in Lin'an and Chengdu? Changhua County is the former Lin'an County. I will fulfill your wish. ]
King of Qin Zhao Defang secretly calculated in his heart, using Lin'an as a bait to seduce and encourage the princess to realize his wish of traveling hand in hand with his wife to the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
[Lin'an?
Go! You must go and see! How can I miss such a good opportunity?
Luo Li suppressed the enthusiasm in her heart, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"The landscapes in Jiangnan are picturesque, I would like to go and see them. But I have too many things to do in the capital, I am really a little worried!"
The King of Qin had a distressed look on his face, his eyes were full of affection, and his voice was gentle and doting. "Princess, you have worked too hard these days! Your face is tanned and you are tired and thin. You should take a good rest for a while.
Going to the picturesque Jiangnan to enjoy the mountains and rivers can express your emotions and enjoy your mind. Just think of it as a reward for your hard work these days!
The affairs of the Big Foot Women's Corps are in charge of the two deputy corps Mo Wen and Gao Yang, and your business is in charge of your second brother and Ruhua. What are you worried about?
According to regulations, it is not easy for a prince or princess to leave Beijing to travel. This opportunity is too rare!" The King of Qin tried hard to persuade his own princess.
Luo Li squinted her eyes and looked at the sunny sky. She was still hesitant for a while, and finally agreed reluctantly.
"It's a rare opportunity to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan for a trip. Okay! Then I'll go with you.
However, I have to arrange my affairs in the capital and leave in three days."
The King of Qin, who had successfully seduced the princess, smiled happily in his heart, "Don't say three days, I can find an excuse to delay the departure for you in five days."
After the King of Qin left, Luo Li's reluctant expression immediately turned into excitement, and she said to Hong Gu and Siyu said, "Gu Hong, Siyu, this little bird is about to spread its wings and fly to the picturesque Jiangnan!
We need to make some preparations and bring more gold and silver. This time we must build a comfortable and safe nest in Lin'an City."
Siyu was reluctant to leave the capital, "Miss, after building a comfortable nest in Lin'an City, will we return to the capital?"
Luo Li sighed!
"I don't want to come back, but the time is not right now and the situation does not allow it!
It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Let's find a chance to build two nests in Lin'an and Chengdu in Shu, just in case."
[As long as I can come back, it's fine. Brother Yunyi has not been seduced by me and is reluctant to leave His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and elope with me! 】
Siyu heaved a sigh of relief! She secretly made up her mind to speed up, hook up with Brother Yunyi as soon as possible, and kidnap him when she leaves with the young lady in the future.
After the trip to Jiangnan was arranged, Luo Li immediately asked Honggu to call Yang Yanqi, Gao Ruoying, and the head coach Mo Wen.
She arranged the training of the Big Foot Women's Army Corps and instructed them on the matters that should be paid attention to.
After bidding farewell to Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying, she took Honggu, Yuli and Siyu back to the city.
The matter of getting Kou Zhun to worship under his father's tutelage must be done in advance. The day after tomorrow is the day when the results will be announced. Anyway, his father, who is an examiner, has been sent home. He can no longer wait for the results of the palace examination. He can't let the potential stock in his hands fly away.
The paper mill that my second brother talked about must be acquired as soon as possible, so as to avoid any changes in the future.
Luo Li rode on the horse, secretly thinking about the urgent things to be dealt with before leaving Beijing.
