Chapter 94 Strict Investigation(2/2)
That night.
Among the tiles, theaters and night markets in Bianjing City.
Relevant discussions naturally occupy the center of focus.
"This official named Li is so courageous..."
"He dares to touch such a thing... He is really not afraid of death!"
"Didn't anyone teach him about the things that happened at the beginning of the dynasty?"
The speaker's mouth was immediately covered by the person next to him.
"You are so outrageous that you are risking your life? How dare you discuss such a thing?!"
Even the shop owner was scared to death.
He pushed the man out and said, "A small shop cannot entertain a great Bodhisattva like you..."
Can that kind of thing be said directly?
However, the shop owner also shook his head: "That official is really ignorant!"
"Obviously, the petty officials brought out the Embankment Department to buy it, and they also followed the Emperor Daxing's order to strike down the market change law. They all lost the law..."
"How come he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, what's good or bad?"
"Even the property passed down from father to son will be taken away..."
For the people of Bianjing, this kind of thing is the most sensitive and also affects their minds the most.
reason?
There are millions of people in Bianjing, from top to bottom, even those who work hard have a few strings of copper coins in their pockets and a shabby house inherited from their ancestors.
In this capital city, it can be as small as a street stall or a well at the end of an alley, or as large as a di shop or a main store.
Over the years, they have been things that attract people's attention and are coveted by others.
Nine out of ten lawsuits in Kaifeng Prefecture are over property disputes.
Naturally, what happened in the Zichen Palace immediately aroused widespread resonance in the ears of people in Bianjing.
Therefore, no one sympathized with Li Ding at all.
Many people even felt the same way and cursed Li Ding, wishing him to die.
…
Even Cuo Da in Bianjing City understands this truth.
How can we not know about the two palaces?
Both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang stayed awake all night.
On the contrary, Zhao Xu slept soundly in Funing Hall.
On the contrary, this made the two palaces even more worried!
After all, the emperor was young and did not understand the past stories of the dynasty.
Do they still know how this country came to be?
So, before dawn the next day, Wang Xiaoxian, the minister of Dali Temple, and Huang Lu, the censor Zhongcheng, were urgently summoned to the palace.
The two palaces exerted strong pressure on these two ministers.
Ask them to investigate Li Ding's case to the end!
The key points are to check, ‘Do you have any accomplices?’, ‘Are you being instigated by others?’.
Wang Xiaoxian and Huang Lu almost knew at this time that Li Ding was out of his mind and eager to make meritorious deeds.
Where did he get his comrades? There was no way anyone was instructing him.
But……
Faced with the pressure from the two palaces, they had no choice but to go back and launch a surprise trial against Li Ding.
Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang actually knew that Li Ding most likely had no accomplices and no one was instructing him.
But that's how it goes.
The officials and officials shouted out words like "bullying orphans and widowed mothers" and "eating the poor".
If Li Ding cannot be severely punished, other real careerists cannot be deterred.
Then, it will encourage others and encourage those who are truly ambitious.
Therefore, we must take action!
This is called killing chickens and frightening monkeys!
Therefore, thanks to Li Ding, the two palaces tried to attack Li Ding as much as possible.
He even treated Wu Juhou in a condescending manner (actually it was the Empress Dowager who took the opportunity to deliberately forgive Wu Juhou - in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, although Wu Juhou was twice as cruel as the common people, he was still loyal to the Song Dynasty! He handled so much money every year
, but none of them were stuffed into their own pockets! Such people must be forgiven, must be held high and put down gently!).
Therefore, Tianzhang Pavilion was waiting to be established, and Wu Juhou, the transfer envoy of Jingdong Road, issued an imperial edict on the same day, conferring the title of Zhongdafu to know Luzhou. He only took away his post and demoted two levels of salary officials - not even the one responsible for the conferment.
I didn’t even give you the prefix, I just gave it to you!
As long as Dali Temple concludes the Jingdong Road case, he will most likely be able to go to Luzhou and continue to be an official.
Note: According to historical records, in April, Wu Juhou was conferred knowledge of Luzhou.
At that time, Gao Taotao was already in power, and this could only come from Gao Taotao's will.
As for Gao, who hates the New Party so much, he could be so patronizing to Wu Juhou only because Wu Juhou was so good at making money, and at the same time, he didn't embezzle a single coin.
PS: Don’t fixate on historical figures, and don’t judge a person casually. People are all like this. Today is good and tomorrow is bad.
