Chapter 974: Worse than a beast

At this moment, Su You was really moved and bowed to Xiao Huangmen, who represented the Empress Dowager: "For such a trivial matter to cause the Empress Dowager to worry about me, it is really... my crime."

After saying that, he cupped his hands to Zhao Xu and said: "Your Majesty, the human heart is cunning and unfathomable. No one without profound morals can hold the post of Yushitai."

"Suppose you are under the control of a villain. In order to create a reputation as a 'hard-nosed' or 'iron-faced' person, you will not hesitate to interrupt your writing, distort the facts, inquire into the secrets of the boudoir, and spy on the secrets of the officials."

"It starts with 'rumours', and then it's all about making up, searching for details, and attacking dissidents."

"He ignores national affairs and takes pride in removing high-ranking officials; he doesn't care about things, only about people; he only knows that this is not good and that is not good, and he is asked to come up with a solution, but he only has one sentence to reply - please ask the relevant departments.

"

"What use does such Taiwanese advice have for the country and the people?"

"Ignorant of state affairs, ignorant of practical matters, and indifferent to priorities. Everyone just knows how to stand on the shore, but blames those who are about to drown, and asks: 'Why not practice swimming skills in advance?' How will it help matters?"

"This is a pure layman giving advice to an expert, and the expert shoulders each shoulder their own responsibilities. They work hard every day, and they have to brace themselves to deal with their nonsense and groundless accusations!"

"So I believe that impeachment must have evidence or real-name reports; remonstrance cannot just raise questions without suggestions."

"So I would like to clarify the official system and start with admonishment from Taiwan!"

Li Ding cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if Su You dares to abolish Tai Jian today, he will dare to do something unbearable tomorrow! The responsibility of Tai Jian is to correct the emperor and check and balance all officials. If Tai Jian is gone, who can take this responsibility?"

!”

Shu Quan cupped his hands and said: "If the ministers lose their checks and balances, the world will be in chaos! There is clear evidence from ancient times. Su You spoke loudly and messed up the law. Please punish him immediately to thank the world!"

"Yu Shi Shu is right!" Su You immediately responded: "Without the checks and balances of the ministers, the world will be in chaos. Su You believes this deeply, but if you dare to ask Tai Jian, who will supervise you now?"

Shu Dan suddenly became speechless.

Su You surrendered to Zhao Xu: "The prosperity of imperial edicts and prisons subverted the strong men; the use of cruel officials began to decline the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. This is also clearly proved by history."

"No matter which Taiwan company, once it loses supervision, it will turn into a man-eating beast!"

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong punished the previous dynasty for its misfortunes and used the platform to remonstrate without granting him the right to torture. His great remonstrances were all loyal to gentlemen, and he was able to win people."

"When Wu Zhou used cruel officials and instituted imperial edicts and prisons, even his descendants and grandsons were slaughtered without restraint. The ministers were trembling and dared not speak, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty was in decline."

"I am admonishing the emperor. Academicians Ouyang, Zhao, and Sima are all gentlemen of great virtue. All the officials are convinced, and the scholars praise them. They serve the public uprightly and do not engage in personal enmity."

"Therefore, Taiwan Admonition can still operate normally, but the system is still lacking. It depends on the noble character of the leader."

"Once the villain takes control, the situation will be very bad!"

"Li Ding, he hid his mother's death in death, and his behavior was not good in the world;"

"Shu Yu served as a county captain and killed people. He was inactive for many years. Zhang Shangying was appointed as the censor. He said that his talents could be used, so he had to change his official position."

"Later, the private letters between Shang Ying and him were publicized to the world, and he petitioned for impeachment for interfering in the matter. Shang Ying was sent to the cabinet to supervise the Jiangling County tax."

"Zhang Hong is a frivolous person. When he was ordered to go to Beijing in Fengxiang, he was very happy and acted crazy."

"Zizhan is his colleague, and he writes essays on the importance of self-cultivation for scholar-bureaucrats and his accumulated experience. A villain does not regard a gentleman as a virtue, but instead harbors a deep-seated hatred and waits for an opportunity to retaliate!"

"These three people control Taiwan's advice. How can Taiwan's advice be fair?"

"There are many moral people and upright officials in the world, so why must these three be chosen?!"

Just as he said this, he was interrupted by Zhao Xu who raised his hand and looked outside the hall: "Qian Zao, what's the matter?"

Su You turned around, but it was Qian Zao who knew Kaifeng Mansion.

I saw Qian Zao bowing outside the palace: "Your Majesty, I know that Qian Zao of Kaifeng Prefecture has something to report to Your Majesty. Kaifeng Prefecture has just solved a case, in which the material affairs involved Xu Xueshi Xiaosu and Wutai Yushi, so I dare not

Don’t rush to report.”

Damn it! Today’s melons are coming one after another, and the courtiers feel like they can’t turn their heads anymore.

"Send it up."

A chamberlain handed over a letter that Qian Zao had taken out. Zhao Xu took it and read it. His face suddenly turned livid: "Where does this letter come from?"

Qian Zao bowed and said: "There is a private prostitute named Liu Qiaonu in Jixi'er Lane, and this woman has a concubine named Li Gou'er."

"Li Gou'er is usually very sneaky, Liu Qiaonu is greedy for money, and he also serves him diligently."

"Three days ago, Liu Qiaonu complained to Kaifeng Mansion, saying that Li Gouer had stolen her money."

"The Kaifeng Prefecture sent people to arrest them, and at Li Gouer's house, they found the package that Liu Qiaonu had reported missing."

"Of course the money inside was gone, and Li Gou'er also pleaded guilty. However, when I saw that the package was a recruitment bag commonly used by scribes and did not look like Liu Qiaonu's, I checked it carefully and found the letter just now.

.”

After saying this, he waved and a government official sent him the recruitment bag.

Qian Zao sneered and said: "There are a few things inside, which are related to a figure in the palace. Your Majesty, please take a look."

The portfolio bag was opened, and inside there was a pencil case, a hard-shell book holder, and an exquisite folding knife.

Qian Zao bowed and said: "This folding knife is a high-quality product produced by Sitong Trading Company. It has a patch made of luminous snails. Liu Qiaonu and Li Gou'er don't know how to value it, so they didn't sell it."

"I tortured Liu Qiaonu and found out that it was left by a guest. Afterwards, the guest was looking for Liu Qiaonu to come back."

"Liu Qiaonu had a rough understanding of writing and knew that he was an official. He opened his mouth and asked for a price of five guan."

"The official also agreed, and both parties agreed on a date for retrieval. Unexpectedly, Li Gouer stole it."

"When I saw the letter, I was shocked and angry. I thought that the high-quality scribes' folding knives from Sitong Company had serial numbers and customer registrations, and could be maintained for life, so I came to inspect them."

"It turned out that the registered owner of this folding knife was Jia Peng, a civil servant at Yushitai. Later, Jia Peng was summoned. Jia Peng said that he had indeed purchased the folding knife, but had given it to his boss as a gift.

boss!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the three censors: "Supervise the censors in the station - Shu Yu!"

The courtiers didn't know what was written in the letter, but when they saw that Shu Quan's face was pale, shaky, and looking like he was about to faint, they knew that it was of great importance.

"You are really my good censor, and you are so right!" Zhao Xu shook his teeth and said coldly: "Cai Jing!"

Cai Jing came out from behind the scenes: "I'm here."

Zhao Xu said coldly: "It seems that the poem you are looking for is it. Read it out to me in front of all the courtiers!"

Cai Jing carefully took it from Zhao Xu's hand, turned to the courtiers, and read it aloud.

"The sound of flying geese and clouds clears Oudian Lake,

The shadows of flowers in the cold pond lie on the lonely pear bed.

The inkstone in the box is pure and clear,

Outside the threshold, vines and crows stagnate in the late frost.

Unexpectedly, he sacrificed himself to donate to Li Guang,

Old Feng Tang was so cute and frowning.

Only when you are gifted can you end your life.

Don’t blame the Han Emperor with Nagato!”

Seeing that the ministers were still a little confused, Cai Jing sneered and said: "Your Majesty has long suspected that the Yushitai has something to do with it, so he ordered his ministers to check the three case files. After checking, I found that in the memorial presented by the Yushitai, Zeng said that he collected Su

Twenty-six oil poems are under review."

"And I searched repeatedly for the transcripts of poems I sent later, and found only twenty-five, and one more, which I couldn't find no matter what."

"On this piece of letterhead, there is a line of small words below the poem, 'This poem has not been widely spread, how can it be heard by others, go and rest!' There is also a prefix below, which should be the word 'ding'?!"

Zhao Xu asked Su You: "Su You, did you write this poem?"

Su You bowed and said: "Zizhan was not careful in his writing and his official career was not yet advanced. I was concerned about his worries and accumulated resentment, so I wrote a poem to forgive him."

"This poem was indeed sent to Zizhan by Wei Chen before he went to Xuzhou."

The courtiers immediately started shouting "coaxing" and became indignant.

Yushitai is hiding evidence and plotting to frame Zhongliang!

The people in the hall are all scholars. The poetic meaning of this poem is very simple and you can understand it as soon as you listen to it.

The first two couplets describe the lonely and desolate scenery in autumn. This kind of scene can easily make people think of sadness.

The last two couplets are full of care and comfort, hoping that Su Shi will not be hurt by the situation.

Even Li Guang and Feng Tang have not met each other. But your talent is comparable to that of Sima Xiangru, and you will eventually be revived by His Majesty.

But you must not do what he did and write "Ode to Nagato" for Gillian to express your resentment towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Su You's loyalty and respect for Zhao Xu are undoubtedly revealed in this poem.

In order to get Su You offended, Yushitai deliberately hid this poem from the emperor!

Shu Quan immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me... I collected some good poems that day, and it was Li Ding who extracted this one and gave it back to Wei Chen. Wei Chen was worried that he would be framed and prosecuted afterwards, and the above mentioned

With Zhongcheng's verdict, he was taken out of Wutai and hid."

Li Ding also knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, this idea was given to me by Zhang Hong. He said that if this poem is sent to your Majesty, your Majesty will definitely release Su You and impeach him. Therefore, he asked me to instruct Shu Yu!"

Zhang Hong also knelt down and defended: "That's not the case! It was Li Ding who put pressure on us, saying that Su Song had already escaped, and Su You and Su Shi must be convicted as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, we will have to follow the imperial censor's rule that there will be no bullets for three months, and our performance will be recorded as average or lower. We have no choice but to do this."

Knowing that this was closely related, Zhang Hong immediately retorted: "I'm reporting this! The reason why Li Ding is so urgent is because he heard that the imperial court is about to grant an amnesty! He wants to crucify the Su family, so he invited us to keep putting pressure on His Majesty, and we must do it before the amnesty."

The verdict is finalized! The memorial requesting His Majesty’s pardon is now in his sleeve!”

Bang! Zhao Xu furiously smashed the white jade Ruyi on several cases to pieces.

He was the most filial person and couldn't help but tremble all over. He pointed at the three people kneeling below and angrily shouted: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother don't hesitate to take advantage of you?! You... you are such heartless people.
Chapter completed!
