Nine hundred and fiftieth chapters in vain as a villain
Chapter 955: Being a villain in vain
"Li Qing? Li Ding!"
Zhao Xu's tone became stern, and Li Ding suddenly recovered: "I... I am here."
"Why did you invite me to see you today?"
Li Ding bowed and said: "I have the latest developments regarding Er Su's case, and I came here to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh..." Zhao Xu nodded: "Then let's talk... wait, what is that in your hand?"
Li Ding was so embarrassed: "This is the secret box of Su You, the former fourth-way transfer envoy. It is said to contain a thank you note."
Zhao Xu stretched out his hand and handed it to Tong Guan, who was waiting beside him. Tong Guan went to get the key to the secret box: "Su You has returned to Beijing? Why so soon? Why did you have to perform his thank you note on your behalf?"
Li Ding blushed: "Su You said that he was summoned by the Yushitai. After entering the capital, he did not follow the rules and went directly to the Yushitai. Then...then he wrote a thank you form, and Wei Chen...Wei Chen had to hand it over..."
After saying that, he anxiously said: "Su You is coming with force. He wants to challenge Yushitai. He must be dissatisfied because of His Majesty's order to investigate Er Su. Inside the thank you list, he doesn't know how to slander Yushitai."
"Your Majesty, the Censorship Platform is only designed to correct hundreds of officials. If they are upright, they will be as safe as Mount Tai. If they are not upright, they will definitely be impeached. The common people's court is clean and peaceful, full of righteousness, and cannot be influenced by sycophants..."
"Li Ding, you are so impudent!" A loud shout came from the side, but it was Prime Minister Wu Chong who had not spoken for many days.
Wu Chong came out and said: "Su You's temperament is known to both the government and the public. Even in Bianjing and Zhejiang, there are still nursery rhymes sung by five-year-old children."
"Your Majesty, it must be the improper wording of the censor's text that has made the ministers on the outer roads panic. Zhongshu just received an urgent report from the Liangzhe Road Transport Department today, saying that the Shiyi fleet has only arrived in Hangzhou."
"The speed of Su You's journey is comparable to that of the emergency report, which shows that the panic in his heart has reached its peak, so he did not care about the fatigue of thousands of miles, and traveled many thousands of miles over several days and nights."
"This means that Su You is young. If Mr. Lu were the author, at this age, I would probably have died on the way!"
After speaking, he glared at Li Ding angrily and raised his head: "Li Zhongcheng, do you dare to give the ultimatum you gave to Bachelor Su to His Majesty, to Zhongshu, and to everyone in the world?!"
"This..." Li Ding said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Yu Shitai is loyal and diligent in his affairs, hates evil as much as he hates his enemies, and sometimes writes in a hurry. It is also..."
Wu Chong was tortured by Wang Gui and Cai Que, and his departure was inevitable. There had been a lot of dissatisfaction in the Yushitai recently because of the storm.
After Cai Quesheng came to power, Wu Chong's life became even more difficult. Today, he finally caught Yushitai's shortcomings and immediately broke out.
Wu Chong was not an actor at first, but at this moment, he was so sad that he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Majesty, when Duke Fan Wenzheng came out of the capital, he was teasing a group of young people. He was transferred all the way, and before he died, he wrote a letter saying that the old minister wanted to take a rest. It was really...
I can’t walk anymore.”
"I have been begging for bones many times. It is Your Majesty's grace. Your Majesty, I am a dull and incompetent servant. I should avoid my position and wait for the worthy. However, the fate of Mr. Fan Wenzheng makes this veteran worry deeply..."
Zhao Xu was unhappy and comforted Wu Chong with some kind words. Then he said to Li Ding with a cold face: "Why did you summon Su You? He is an important official of the imperial court. The matter I entrusted with the South China Sea is extremely serious."
Big trust, what? Is he corrupt and perverting the law, or is he cruel to the people? Does Wutai need to be summoned urgently? Can’t even take it slow? Can’t even be a day late?!”
Li Ding knew that he could not retreat at this time. If he fought hard, he would lose the reputation of a tough minister and a censor with a tough face. Otherwise, he would lose everything.
Instead, his mind calmed down: "Su Shi was his nephew and uncle, and they exchanged letters frequently. It's hard to say that there was no obedience and companionship. Su Song had extremely close contacts with him. All astronomical instruments must be sent to Su for confirmation, and then made.
."
"Your Majesty, Su You's uncle and nephew, they show loyalty on the outside but have ulterior motives on the inside. They use slandering the New Deal as a means to gain reputation among the ignorant people."
"Su Shi's complaints and articles are just corrupt scholars, easy to hear; Su Song is old and cowardly, but his strength is inferior; Su You is pretentious and hypocritical, deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. He has great qualifications but is still young, such as Yushitai, who is still unstoppable.
,Who can treat me in the future?!"
"Li Ding, are you crazy for biting an important minister like this?!" Wu Chong was angry: "Your Majesty, the imperial censor always takes pride in bringing down important ministers without asking about his faults and looking into the details. This trend must not rise again!
"
Tong Guan had already sent the memorial form. Zhao Xu raised his hand to stop the argument and picked up the thank you form.
After reading it, he couldn't help but laugh and handed the thank you form to Li Ding: "Censor Zhongcheng also read it to see if there is any dissatisfaction with Wutai's slander?"
Li Ding regretted it the first time he received the thank you form.
In Su You's thank you note, he praised Zhao Xu and thanked him for his trust and training in him. He also said that state affairs were of paramount importance and that of course he would cooperate vigorously with the urgent call from Wutai. He even did not dare to delay at all after arriving in Beijing for fear of losing contact.
For traffic reasons, go directly to the Yushitai for investigation.
Moreover, because Su Shi was under investigation for using Gan Zhi's writing, there were similar similarities in his own poems, so he blamed himself very much and listed them one by one as a surrender.
Finally, he said that if Dasu was guilty, he would definitely not protect him, but would bear the corresponding guilt; only the old clan brother was old, so he asked to atone for his sins with his past merits.
All that's left is to wish His Majesty good health. I miss you so much after not seeing him for many years. I just hope that the suspicion will be cleared as soon as possible and that you can see your beauty again. I'm very grateful and ashamed.
After reading the thank you form, Li Ding wished he could slap himself on the spot.
A performance is nothing but a villain!
Zhao Xu also nodded to the officials: "You should also take a look."
Wu Chong immediately handed over his hand after reading it: "Your Majesty, do you know the cleverness of Taiwan's advice? He hurriedly summoned others to Beijing. After they arrived, he said that others were rude and rude. Before he saw a thank you note, he first concluded that others must be
Make words and make things happen, and you must follow my words. This is to use the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman!"
"The emperor's ears and eyes send remonstrances to the platform. He picks up the missing pieces and makes up for them. He is responsible for remonstrating and correcting his words. He corrects hundreds of officials at the bottom and ridicules the king at the top."
"If you have an incorrect intention, you will deceive the emperor's intelligence, use power and power to influence those below, bully the rulers, and gnaw at the officials."
"Assuming that the prime minister has no fault, he will still be involved in many big cases, or he will be exposed to secrets, and it will be difficult to understand the details!"
"Such Taiwanese remonstrances, apart from causing chaos and group attacks, apart from corrupting state affairs, can they correct the leader and stymie hundreds of officials?!"
This is almost like pointing at Cai Que and Li Ding and scolding them. Cai Que is there, and he looks like he is now involved in politics.
At this moment, Li Dingke was so grateful to Wu Chong that he thanked his opponent for bringing up the ladder. He immediately got off the donkey and cupped his hands and said: "Xiangong Wu wants to abolish the system of his ancestors. The virtues of the Han and Tang Dynasties, please note that your majesty Qingming is not Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty!"
This was a "good thing" that Bigan left to the censors, so that later generations generally believed that if the emperor killed his remonstrating ministers, it would be a sign of the destruction of the country.
Tang Xizong killed Zuo Shiyihou Changye, and in the same year, Huang Chao's uprising army captured the capital Chang'an.
After Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Chengdu in a hurry, he killed Meng Zhaotu of Zuobu Que because of the eunuch Tian Lingzi. People at the time lamented that it had never happened since ancient times that eunuchs were used to kill remonstrating ministers.
Later, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zuo Buque Changjun to die for some reason. Later generations commented that the killing of three of Xizong's admonishers in one dynasty was enough to herald the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
"That's enough!" Zhao Xu shouted to stop the ministers.
After everyone calmed down, Zhao Xu said: "The imperial censor's report is a privilege given by the court for the sake of integrity. Don't worry about it, Mr. Wu."
"However, Taiwanese admonitions must be cautious. After Emperor Renzong deposed Guo, the Right Secretary Fan Zhongyan and Quan Yushi Zhongcheng Kong Daofu led the admonishment court Sun Zude, the imperial censor Jiang Tang, Guo Quan, Yang Kai, Ma Jiang, and the imperial censors in the palace. Shi Duan Shaolian, speaking about Song Jiao on the left, Liu Huan on the right, and playing at the arched palace gate."
"When the envoys were sent to escort Daofu and Zhong Yan out of the city urgently, they still issued orders to admonish the officials. From now on, the censor must keep a secret document and not be able to take the lead in making inquiries, which shocked both China and foreign countries."
"Su You was summoned by the imperial court and returned from thousands of miles away. Before his Majesty even saw him, he went down to Wutai. What do the courtiers think? What do the barbarians think? What do the four counties of Nanhai who have just surrendered think?"
"The laws of nature are nothing more than human relationships. Su You hasn't seen his children for several years. Every time I think about this, I always feel guilty."
