Therefore, in the emperor's mind, the Censor became a treacherous minister who appeared to want to do good things for the country and the people, but secretly plundered the people's wealth.
But the emperor has no way to touch him now, mainly for two reasons. First, the emperor does not have any solid evidence of the Censor's corruption and bribery.
The reason why the emperor knew about this matter was because the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was investigated by the Censor-in-Chief. The people sent by the Censor-in-Chief searched Jingzhao Prefecture everywhere, just like ransacking the house, making a mess everywhere.
Then the talent left.
Originally, the prefect of Jingzhao thought that the matter was over, but he never expected to receive a letter the next day.
The letter stated that some irregular account books were found in the residence of the Jingzhao prefect.
The prefect of Jingzhao was very clear that every account within the time and scope of his jurisdiction was clean.
So after receiving this letter, he was naturally furious and felt that the Censor had made a mistake. He even thought about it in a darker way and felt that the Censor had done it on purpose.
So the prefect of Jingzhao went directly to see the Censor.
The Censor seemed to have known that this person would come, and placed a cup of tea and some cakes in the main living room of his house.
Since they treated him with courtesy, the prefect of Jingzhao naturally had no way of going right up to him and accusing him of an offence.
After the two exchanged a few Tai Chi punches, the Censor began to hint at the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor.
The simple thing is that the outcome of this matter is still entirely up to the Censor-in-Chief.
"Many times, we still have to be cautious about some things. After all, we are friends now so we can just talk and laugh here, but if we report it to the emperor, if there is irrefutable evidence, it will be hard to talk..."
The prefect of Jingzhao clearly remembered how ambiguous the expression on the Censor's face was when he said this.
It was precisely because the Jingzhao prefect immediately understood the Censor's subtext that he looked at the Censor in disbelief at first.
"Sir, do you still remember what you do?" The prefect of Jingzhao asked this question with a cold face.
It was after hearing these words that the Censor's face suddenly fell.
The expression is extremely stinky.
"You have to understand that I am giving you a chance. I won't give this opportunity to everyone. After all, what you found is the real thing..."
Hearing this, the prefect of Jingzhao could no longer hold back, and he slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the censor's nose and cursed: "You are crazy about money, right? I know my own accounts clearly, and every transaction is recorded in detail. I have never accepted any bribes, and I have never made things difficult for anyone because I didn't accept bribes. Everyone can testify for me!"
"On the contrary, what you said to me today, can it live up to the court's expectations of you? Moreover, the emperor trusts you so much now, does he know that you are so two-faced?"
The prefect of Jingzhao spoke extremely rudely, and it was precisely because of this that the Censor became angry and humiliated.
In the end, the prefect of Jingzhao was actually fired by the Censor-in-Chief.
But he was not afraid at all: "If you have the ability to kick me out, I also hope you have the ability to sort out my account books and find two or three mistakes of mine. Don't come back and impeach me with nothing to say. It's all empty talk and nothing to say!"
At this moment, the prefect of Jingzhao was very clear that he had offended the Censor.
But at the same time, he also knew very clearly that as long as he acted properly, no one would be able to catch him. Without any evidence, he would be invincible.
At the same time, it was this incident that made the prefect of Jingzhao realize that the Censor was deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates.
So he turned around and told the emperor about this.
In fact, most of the ministers in the court have no idea about the current relationship between the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor and the Emperor.
Because in the impression of all of them, the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is 100% Zhao Ji's confidant.
How could it be possible that a confidant of Zhao Ji had such a good relationship with the emperor?
It was precisely because the Censor ignored this point that the young emperor woke up from his deception so early.
After the little emperor woke up, he immediately began to look for clues in every incident.
The young emperor soon discovered that in this short period of time, the power held by the Censor had become a knife for him to eliminate dissidents.
As long as they were not in his camp, or had different political views from him, or had done things against him in the court, they would all be caught with the so-called bribery to a greater or lesser extent.
Using this handle, the Censor-in-Chief would either issue warnings or try to win over the person.
In short, within this short period of time, the little emperor found that the situation in the court had undergone a huge reversal.
In the past, many different opinions and voices could be heard in the morning court.
But now, as long as the Censor opens his mouth to express an opinion, many ministers will immediately come forward to agree with him.
It was as if this idea was particularly brilliant. The emperor in the past, if he didn't know who the bathroom inspector was, perhaps under the influence of such an atmosphere, he would choose to agree with the censor's suggestion.
Now that I think about it carefully, every suggestion that could be put forward by the Censor-in-Chief is beneficial to him or his camp.
From the very beginning, the Censor-in-Chief was never thinking about the court and the people. What he was thinking about was whether he could profit from this matter.
Or maybe this incident could help strengthen one's wings!
Everything became the motivation and stepping stone for the Censor to climb up. At that moment, the little emperor suddenly understood that the Censor's ambition was to become the second Zhao Ji.
This is why the young emperor had to climb over the wall to find Zhao Ji and ask him to come out of retirement.
Because apart from Zhao Ji, the young emperor found that he could not find anyone else who could fight against the Censor.
Only Zhao Ji had a deep prestige in the court and many ministers and generals loyal to him.
Therefore, the little emperor was very clearly aware that his wings were not yet fully grown and there were still many things he needed to learn and do.
When the Censor, who was in great glory at the morning court, saw Zhao Ji, the smile on his face froze all of a sudden, and he looked at Zhao Ji silently.
Everyone could feel the awkward atmosphere between the two.
However, Zhao Ji has never been embarrassed. He firmly believes that as long as he is not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.
The Censor almost forced an ugly, crying smile from his face.
"Now that the Regent has recovered, can he come back to court?" These words were said in a dry voice.
But there was nothing else to say.
