Chapter 480 I love the minister!(1/2)
"Guan family, that's probably what happened..."
Cai Jing bowed with a cup of wine and briefly introduced what happened.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and whispered softly: "Really?"
"It shouldn't be!"
"After all, Quan Zhi Huazhou is also the son of the former prime minister!"
"And I remember that Quan knew that Huazhou was recommended to me by Xianggong Cai himself before he sent the judgment on Quanzhou last year."
"Xiangong said: Therefore, as prime minister, I serve as Sikong and give gifts to the servants. Wu Gongtao Zhengxianzi Anzhi is very talented and learned, and he is modest. He can be used by a state."
"I was still wondering if it could be of great use!"
"How could you do such an unwise thing?"
Cai Jing held the potion and bowed: "There is something that the officials may not know about..."
"Run Guo Gong originally recommended Wu Anzhi to serve as the powerful magistrate of Huazhou, just to settle a grudge from the past..."
"uh-huh?"
Cai Jing said cautiously: "This matter involves Wen Jifu, the son of Grand Master Wen, and Wu Anzhi, the powerful official in Huazhou."
"?" Zhao Xu naturally knew that, but he wouldn't say it.
Cai Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk to Zhao Xu about the big drama that caused a stir in both the government and the public.
It was a typical case of nepotism and money.
It happened in the third year of Yuanfeng.
At that time, Xiangzhou observed the judge Chen Anmin and revealed a trap.
During his trial, he executed two prisoners who should not have been executed.
Moreover, he did not follow the normal procedures and reported it to the Criminal Court and Dali Temple for review, and then he was executed in Xiangzhou.
I can only say that everyone who understands the tricks and problems involved in this.
Things like this were not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, and dozens of them happened every year.
As long as there are no problems above, this matter will be over.
Unfortunately, the Trial Court at that time was under the control of the New Party.
And this Chen Anmin has long been targeted by the New Party.
Because, although this person is just an observation judge, he has a close relationship with the two big bosses of the old party.
He was Wen Jifu's biological uncle, and Wen Jifu was Wu Chong's son-in-law.
If you hit him once, you can hit Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong for their big mouths at the same time.
Therefore, just when Chen Anmin thought that his case was flawless, the trial court descended from the sky and directly pointed out his problem of judging the case and executing the prisoner, so the case was sent to Kaifeng Mansion for reaffirmation.
Chen Anmin, who was in a panic, first sought help from his nephew Wu Anchi, who then went to seek help from his brother-in-law Wen Jifu.
At that time, Wu Anzhi was a doctor of Taichang, while Wen Jifu was not very good, and he was the judge of Dali Temple at that time.
What's even more terrible is that Wu Anchi also told his father Wu Chong about the incident, and Wu Chong wrote a note and gave it to his subordinates.
That is to say, his close confidant, Liu Fengshi, who was then the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Liu Fengshi then followed Wu Chong's wishes, intervened in the case, and began to sidestep the situation, trying to turn a major issue into a trivial one.
Things have reached this point and are completely out of control.
Because this case has changed from an unjust, false and wrongful conviction to a conclusive clique for personal gain.
The people involved range from the prime minister to local state and county officials.
Wu Chong, Wen Yanbo and even Han Qi's son Han Zhongyan were also involved - the then magistrate of Xiangzhou was none other than Han Zhongyan, the current Minister of Rites.
And Han Zhongyan was not clean in this matter. He was afraid of being implicated, so he also used his strength in this matter.
However, when the people of the old party gathered together, they forgot a fatal thing - the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind!
Since the people of the Trial Court dared to take action against Chen Anmin, they had naturally made careful arrangements and received support from above.
Wang Gui, the right prime minister at the time, and Cai Que, the minister and censor at the time, had long been watching.
Seeing that Wu Chong was so unwise, the old party actually started to unite.
Wang Gui and Cai Que were ecstatic.
They saw the right moment and dealt a fatal blow to the old party.
The case was reported directly to the imperial court.
There is nothing to say about what happened next.
Zhao Xu's father, after learning that the old party had formed a clique for personal gain, was furious and directly transferred the case from Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple to the Yushitai controlled by the new party.
He also worshiped Cai Que as Yushi Zhongcheng and was fully responsible for the investigation and trial.
Cai Que lived up to his trust and obtained conclusive physical evidence and confessions.
Thoroughly examine this case, which started with an unjust, false, and wrongful conviction and was later compiled through nepotism, personal connections, and bribery.
Therefore, Chen Anmin stopped, removed his name, and put him in charge.
Wen Jifu and Wu Anchi were both in charge of local residence.
Liu Fengshi was demoted to Caizhou Academy of Food Science and Technology.
Even Han Zhongyan was punished and was fined a copper and fined. Not long after, he was transferred back to the capital.
Wu Chong was implicated by the case and had no choice but to resign, and immediately became a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and an envoy to the West Taiyi Palace. He died of illness soon after.
In this case, the new party won a great victory and the old party suffered a complete defeat.
It was during this case that Cai Que rose to prominence by stepping out on countless old party ministers, including Wu Chong.
Of course, Cai Jing is a smart man.
He would not introduce the facts of the case to Zhao Xu in detail.
He just briefly sorted out the case, and then told Zhao Xu the key information - this Wu Anchi was dishonest. In the past, he formed cliques for personal gain and had a very bad temper.
The reason why Duke Run Guo recommended him was entirely out of human nature and sophistication.
After hearing Cai Jing's description, Zhao Xu laughed in his heart.
Where are these ministers?
One by one, they are all human beings.
Seizing the opportunity, I wanted to mislead his judgment.
"Fortunately, I studied abroad in modern times. I understand the twists and turns in these cases better than anyone else!"
"hey-hey……"
"It just so happens that I also want to teach this bastard Wu Anzhi a lesson!"
"It would be great if we could take this opportunity to break up the marriage between Wu Anchi and Wang Anshi's daughter."
Wang Anshi lived in Zhao Xu's previous life and had died of illness in Jiangning at this time.
But now, he is still alive and kicking.
Judging from the information Zhao Xu has obtained, Wang Anshi is now in Jiangning. He is even very leisurely and elegant, and has even written several new poems.
Two of them were sent to Dengzhou, which were sung by him and Su Shi.
Wang Anshi is in this state now. As long as his mentality is calm, it will not be a problem to live healthily for another three to five years.
But Zhao Xu knew that he wanted Wang Anshi to continue to live healthily.
Then, we have to defuse a minefield for him.
In addition to Wang Anshi's political troubles, several of his biggest problems in his life came from his guilt for his children.
The eldest son Wang Yu died young, which was a great blow to him.
The unfortunate marriage of the eldest queen was Wang Anshi's biggest regret in his later years.
After all, it was he who made the decision to marry his eldest daughter to Wu Anchi.
The desolate smoke and cold rain help people feel sad, and the clothes are stained with tears without even realizing it. Except for the spring breeze, the sand is green, just like when I see you crossing the river!
This poem by Wang Anshi to say goodbye to his beloved daughter is enough to prove his inner guilt for his beloved daughter and his deep regret for her unfortunate marriage.
If we can force Wu Anzhi and the Wang family to reconcile.
By letting the Wang family return to Wang Anshi and his wife, Zhao Xu felt that Wang Anshi should have no regrets in his later years!
So, the way he looked at Cai Jing changed.
Only Cai Jing can accomplish this!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zhao Xu said to Cai Jing: "That's it..."
To be continued...
