Chapter 315
Li Zhi was very angry.
He was very angry. If Li Xiao was in front of him, he would definitely beat Li Xiao’s eyes to a blue one. This bastard was too worried and was locked up in prison for a day. He thought he could remember it more, but the result was that as soon as he issued an order, he beat Liu Shuang again at the entrance of Dali Temple.
And insulted the Liu and Wang families.
Now the story of Lao Wang next door is full of Chang'an. Many people who eat melons really think that Liu Shuang was actually born of adultery by the queen's father Wang Youren and Liu Shuang's mother Cui.
The queen was extremely dissatisfied and ran to him to complain, and even broke into Ganlu Palace directly.
"Why are you so worried? That but you haven't wiped it clean yet, and you've caused so many troubles."
Li Zhi rubbed his forehead and felt a burst of pain in his brain.
If ordinary people dared to act like this and offend the Wang Liu and Cui family to death, they would have been killed long ago without the emperor's actions.
But this person is Li Xiao. Li Zhizhen couldn't bear to let this bastard be killed by Wang Liu and Cui's three families, so he had to protect him.
Liu Shuang's mother Cui is the sister of Cui Zhiwen's compatriots, and Liu Shuang's aunt is the younger sister of Wang Youren, the father-in-law Wang. Li Xiao's joke is equivalent to offending all the Wang Liu and Cui's three families, and completely offended the three families.
Now the story of the old king next door is circulating in Chang'an. Those ignorant people thought that Li Xiao, the secretary of the young prison, had really revealed a secret from a wealthy family. Everyone believed it and was very excited to spread it everywhere.
As a result, the reputation of the Wang Liu and Cui family was naturally greatly affected. Originally, Li Xiao knocked down Cui Zhiti last time and even brought his daughter to be a concubine. The Cui family had completely hated him, and even made many old gentry angry with Li Xiao. Now he offended the father-in-law and the queen-uncle family. This was not a death sentence.
"Your Majesty, the prince breaks the law and is also guilty of the common people. Although Li Xiao was a little impulsive, he insisted that the Zhongwei Bridge arson case was the mastermind behind Liu Shuang, Wang Chao and Cui Zhan, and the thirteen dead bodies in the Dali Temple prison were also made by Cui Wang and Liu Sanjia."
The Wu family was actually very happy to see Li Xiao go head-on with the three families of Wang Liu and Cui. Anyway, the damn old gentry would not support her. Especially the Wang and Liu families, one was Queen Wang’s mother’s family and the other was Queen Wang’s uncle’s family, who were the queen’s loyal supporters. Wu family was already unhappy when they saw them.
If you want to abolish the enemy, you must first sweep away the Wang and Liu families.
Li Xiao is now rushing around in front of him. Although he has caused countless memorials to impeach, Wu is very happy to see this situation.
A mess can kill the master, but sometimes a mess needs a breakdown.
Now the case in Zhongwei Bridge is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Xiao is still so reluctant to give up. This is just a reason to thoroughly investigate the matter. Once something real is found, even the Wang Liu and Cui family can't stand it.
Li Zhi was a little hesitant.
Of course, he actually hoped to take the opportunity to get involved in the queen's family, but as the emperor, he could not rush forward in person and had to do this kind of thing.
Especially he has to maintain minimum justice. If he is willing to investigate the Wang and Liu families, then this matter will be criticized.
As an emperor, if you take the initiative to find trouble for the queen's family, this will be too objective and obvious.
The best way is to let this matter develop. It is best if Dali Temple itself can find some illegal acts of Wang Liu and Cui's family in this case, and then the Censorate, the institution, followed the normal process to impeach them.
The situation is not optimistic now, and all the prisoners who set fire were killed. Thirteen of them were killed, and the outsiders must be even less. Without evidence, the case will not be easy to continue.
Of course, if Li Zhi was determined, this case could be handled. For example, in the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion, he first arrested the person and then found a way to get confessions, or even even if he was scolded, but Li Zhi didn't want to be so desperate now.
He still hopes that this matter can be simpler, otherwise even if the queen's family and the queen are forcibly brought down, it will cause many people to be dissatisfied, and it will be even more difficult to make Wu's queen.
"I plan to let Li Xiao go out to avoid the limelight."
After a long time, Li Zhi said something.
"Your Majesty, although Li Xiao is a little impulsive, there is nothing big mistake. Letting Li Xiao leave the capital now means that he is demoted for his crime?"
"I want to protect him. Li Xiao is so bad-tempered that he can do anything. Such a person is used to being wild in the countryside, and he doesn't have rules or abide by the rules. He has already entered Dali Temple for the second time, but have you seen his temper restrained? Liu Shuang has been beaten twice by him, so he will definitely dare to beat the third time. Now so many censors are chasing him and impeachment are all bullets, so I can't keep suppressing it."
"If you keep him in Beijing, you might cause a lot of trouble. And I am also worried that the Liu King and Cui family will attack him. Those people are very brave. Although Li Xiao is impulsive, he will at most beat Liu Shuang. But those guys will definitely not be so simple if they really want to attack. They have ways to make Li Xiao disappear. I don't want to lose this guy, so let him go out and avoid it."
Political Affairs Hall.
The Secretariat Ling Li Ji frowned as he saw the emperor's decree that the eunuch gave him.
"Li Xiao was appointed as the governor of Wuzhenzhou, and was promoted to the rank of the sanshi junior doctor. He was exempted from the corn supervisor. He was a secretary and was still a deputy to Wang You."
This is a more confusing will.
He was exempted from the fourth-rank secretary and the second-rank corn supervisor, and was appointed as the governor of Wuzhenzhou, and he really didn't know whether this should be demoted or promoted.
In terms of authority, this is a derogation. After all, Wu Zhenzhou is in the newly captured land of Baekje in the east of the sea, and Wu Zhenzhou is just a low state, let alone a procuratorate.
Although the court set the land of conquered Baekje directly under the court, the prefectures and counties were not restricted, but were actually placed. But after all, it was far away from Chang'an. How could a chief magistrate dare to be a secretary and a deputy chief magistrate so that he could be a senior position around the emperor at any time?
But in terms of grades, the governor of Xiazhou was also a fourth-rank, while the secretary and the junior secretary were only from the fourth-rank, which was actually a higher level.
Li Xiao's original rank was originally from the Chaosan doctor under the fifth rank, and now the emperor has been promoted to the senior rank, which is from the Wensan rank of the fourth rank, which is equivalent to Li Xiao's original rank being upgraded to the fourth level.
To put it more professionally, Li Xiao was promoted and demoted secretly. After all, the position of secretary is equivalent to a deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee, and the governor of Wu Zhenzhou of the Procuratorate is just an acting mayor of the prefecture-level city, and this city is still a remote and backward market.
Li Ji looked at the bunch of bulletin stamps on the table about impeaching Li Xiao, and suddenly understood the emperor's meaning. Although it was an upward trend and abdication, it also allowed Li Xiao to leave Beijing for the time being.
