Chapter 753: Low-Level Mistakes
Xia Shu was so calm that he could not be calm anymore. If he was attacked by the prime minister Jia Chaochang like this, he would have to take off a layer of skin. But today is different. Today, he is really confident. He has been crawling and fighting in the officialdom for decades, and for the first time he is so confident that he can defeat this powerful enemy in front of him!
"Everything needs to be evidence. If I am so ruthless as Lord Jia said, there is no need for the official to take action. I am willing to commit suicide in the Daqing Palace!"
Jia Chaochang raised the private message high above his head and said, "This is a memorial from Li Li, Yunzhou Prefecture, Jingdong Road. Please read it in detail!"
The little yellow sect descended to the ranks and took the letter sent by Jia Chaochang, but Zhao Zhen didn't want to read it at all!
This is a big deal. Others don’t know what Xia Shu will do on Jingdong Road. How could he not know where he is going to seek bribes and rebellion? Xia Shuo worked hard to travel thousands of miles to Shandong just to give the woman he longed for a reasonable and decent identity. The whole court only Xia Shouen and this old minister in the twilight years knew that Jia Chaochang knew nothing!
Zhao Zhen was not interested in the letter at all. If Xia Shu, who was working hard for him today, was killed by him, who would dare to ask a girl to do it for him in the future? It was not because he could do whatever he wanted, but because he was an official, and it was because he could not smash his signature!
Liang Chuan?
When Zhao Zhen saw this name, he suddenly remembered the woman Shen Qingyi. He just lacked the impulse and stubbornness. Men are indeed fickle. The best way to get out of a relationship is to have another relationship.
He remembered that snowy night a few years ago, he rode out of the city alone and went to a family in the west of the city. It was the first time he met Liang Chuan. This was his strange temperament but he was definitely not as domineering as described in the letter.
Let’s put it aside whether there is any bribe or not. Liang Chuan went to Shandong because Xia Shu was interested. It was somewhat of a meaning of Xia Shu. Xia Shu did his best to do his own things. It would be unreasonable to give him some respect along the way, and it would not be so big that these local officials would not have made such a big deal!
Besides, if you can do it for yourself, you can get the tax on Liangchuan by yourself? This is not so useful to remove the firewood from the cauldron. After reading the matters in the letter one by one, Zhao Zhen felt that it was a bit wrong with Xia Qian. Such a difficult thing was difficult for Xia Aiqing.
As for the rebellion, Liangjiazhuang himself has been there. Liangchuan has already had a group of people. How could these people become a kind of climate? They are just a group of rural villagers. They are considered to be a manor such as the League and the Yibao. If they could be considered rebellion, then the world of the Song Dynasty would have changed its surname!
Let’s take a step back and say that if you go to Jingdong for thousands of miles, you can’t let Liang Chuan protect Lu Yi and come to Bian Jing by himself!
Zhao Zhen glanced at the words, all of which were empty words, and there was no real evidence. He stuffed the letter into the yellow gate and asked, "Has the Yunzhou Prefecture found out about the murder of Liu Ping?"
In such a chaotic situation, Zhao Zhen, the Ming emperor, could still remain sober. Everyone was drunk and he was awake alone. He was shocked by the words.
Jia Chaochang only received a private message from the prefect of Yunzhou Li Li, which was full of dissatisfaction with Liang Chuan, but there was no sentence of characterization and evidence of these facts. Jia Chaochang was eager to overthrow Xia Shu and was confused. His thinking asked Li Li to take him away. He thought that the professor Liu Ping of Yunzhou was killed by Liang Chuan!
After all, there are many sayings about Liang Chuan's kindness in the city of Bianjing. This person is extremely greedy for money. It is said that he makes money from big money and small money. It is not an exaggeration to pluck hair when passing by. He is a little arrogant and does not take it seriously. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune on Jingdong Road, he will be sorry for his long trip.
Any evidence he needs, throw it into the death row, and any evidence he needs can be pried out from his mouth! Anyone who dies can be used to make a secret! What are he afraid of!
Liu Sanbian, who defected to him, also said that Liang Chuan was a rogue in the market in Xinghua. He relied on his small forces to do evil, and he had crippled the local relatives in Fengshan in the early years. Later, he used some methods to avoid punishment. Now with Xia Shu, what else he dared not do?
But now all this is my own guess.
When Zhao Zhen asked Jia Chaochang, he was mute!
"Uh... Go back to the official home... Yunzhou Prefecture is still investigating this case." He couldn't say that he guessed it himself. He pushed two or five first to Yunzhou Prefecture, and then talked about it after passing this level before he saw it.
The whole court was in an uproar!
The common people have to be punished even if they falsely accused and framed. The prime minister of the dynasty came out without verifying the facts. What is this not to use credibility as a joke?
Many officials from the Censorate couldn't stand it and jumped out to accuse Jia Chaochang of his words and deeds. Although they were afraid that Jia Chaochang would take revenge, the trend of superiors slandering subordinates would be the ones who were the subordinates after the spread. Today's Xia Shu might be tomorrow's them, and they would come out to express their attitude no matter what!
"Mr. Jia, you don't have any evidence at hand and just slander Yiru the court officials in this way?"
Everyone was not stupid. Everyone had figured out the direction of today's wind. They were all aiming at Xia Shu. Even the attitude of the official family didn't want to treat Xia Shu. Only Jia Chaochang was determined to act against the wind. Several officials who were close to Jia Chaochang were silent on weekdays!
According to his estimate, if he would make a sound today, the capable generals around him would come forward to mobilize Liang Chuan's usual evil deeds, with the two words of official character, and first put Liang Chuan in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, are you afraid that he will not be able to take any action?
"What!" Zhao Zhenhuo stood up and pointed at Jia Chaochang and said, "After all, you are Ping Zhang of the dynasty, the dignified prime minister, there is no evidence to slander people with blood?"
Jia Chaochang didn't expect Zhao Zhen to scold him so harshly, and at this time he lowered his head and did not dare to confront him in person.
Today is different. In the past, officials made the officials below speak out about this kind of thing, and they just gave the water to the right. Now the wind has become too outrageous. Before Xia Shu could speak, Zhao Zhen stood up for Jia Chaochang first!
What everyone was thinking at this time was that Empress Dowager Liu had already shown signs of gradually delegating power, and this Jia Xiang was promoted by Empress Dowager Liu. Now that the official wants to take power, the first step is to pave the way for his confidants!
Xia Shu was a member of the Western Army and was promoted from the prefecture all the way. He had no connection with Empress Dowager Liu. Looking at the court, he had the most experienced and capable, and was the most responsible and able to change the current situation. Xia Shu was backed by the huge force of the Western Army. It can be said that if he wanted to control the current situation in the Song Dynasty, there was no way to defeat Xia Shu.
Is the official who was so angry today really collecting money for Liang Chuan, a servant? Which official in the court did not pay for the autumn wind when he went out? This is the rule of the officialdom and the norm in the officialdom!
It seems that Jia Chaochang himself hit the knife without any eyes. If he stands in the wrong position today, it is clearly not Xia Shu, but Zhao Guanjia in the Golden Palace!
Zhao Zhen didn't see a person like Jia Chaochang for a long time. This person is just flattering, and has no other skills, and has made no achievements since he took office. Every day, he just stands in the hall to comment on the political achievements of this official and what gains and losses that an official has. Today, Zhao Zhen looked forward to Lu Yi until his eyes were shining. This guy didn't have any eyes and jumped out to stop him. It was really hateful!
Swear! Even though Zhao Zhen, who is of a good temper, pointed at Jia Chaochang and kept firing. Zhao Zhen rarely wanted a girl he liked for so many years, and the ministers in the court were willing to go to this muddy water for him. Today, it would be impossible not to have an attack!
He did not have so many inner thoughts from the officials below. In his opinion, who is not working for him or her, the key is to be obedient and understand the saints! Empress Dowager Liu has been living for a few years, and sooner or later, the world is not his? As for Xia Shu, he just likes him!
Xia Shu was so happy. The official family is so fucking loyal. How could he not be sad about the front and back of his mind like this?
He was very happy. If he took advantage of the situation and slandered Jia Chaochang, the bird man today, he wouldn't be...
If I go further, Miss Chen's way into the palace will be more smooth in the future!
Thinking of the dragon seed in Chen Niang's belly, my status will not work in the future!
Jia Chaochang was also scolded by the officials at this time. Relying on Empress Dowager Liu's favor for him, he was also a little annoyed by Zhao Zhen's anger today, and he actually contradicted: "I suggest that Liang Chuan be imprisoned for investigation and investigate the case of Liu Ping's murder!"
If Liang Chuan was present, he would definitely greet Jia Chaochang's 80-year-old mother. Why did I arrest me if I didn't ask you to provoke you? If this prison of the Ministry of Justice is sitting down, it will be great perfection!
Zhao Zhen was really angry and cursed: "How can there be such a case in the world who handles and examines criminals? He is imprisoned without any evidence. Which law in the Song Dynasty has such absurd provisions! OK! If you want to investigate, I will check it carefully with you!"
Jia Chaochang looked at Zhao Zhen who was so angry that he didn't understand that he just wanted to hit Xia Shu today, why was the official family so angry!
"The Criminal Court filed the death of Liu Ping, an official in Yunzhou. The Ministry of Justice of Dali Temple and the Censorate Head shall conduct a trial. It is necessary to find out the truth about the case, hand over the file to the Criminal Court, and finally give it to me for a look! The officials of the Three Departments listened, this case must not be harmed by a good person, nor must not let a bad person go!"
This scale is so large. The criminal prison system of the Song Dynasty was that the county magistrates took the court to try the case himself, and Liang Chuan was tried by Song Guang. In the state, there were managers participating in the military and judicial military, and the trial level was different.
However, referring to the judicial avoidance system, the state cannot examine cases of officials of their own level and their own territory. The death of Liu Ping must be upgraded to the Criminal Prison Division of Jingdong Road for trial, and it is also subject to their supervision.
Dali Temple and criminal cases are usually reported to them for approval. Of course, Dali Temple also divides the left and right punishments into prisons, but the object is different from the jurisdiction. One is to commit crimes against officials, and the other is to commit crimes among officials in the capital.
If they directly intervene in Liu Ping's death case, it will be difficult to commit fraud in this case!
Zhao Zhen’s implication is obvious. If it was Liang Chuan who did it, Liang Chuan would die by himself. If it wasn’t! Humph, then you’re welcome!
All the officials took the orders one after another. Who dared to do anything to Zhao Zhen’s words in this case? As long as Liang Chuan reiterates his confession, who can do anything to Liang Chuan? This time Jia Chaochang shot himself in the foot!
It's time to play on your own!
Xia Shu slowly stepped out of the line, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Report to the officials and retainers have a memorial!"
The officials glanced at Xia Shu's fat body and said worriedly: As expected, everyone wanted to come out and step on it at this time!
Zhao Zhen made a thoughtful gesture of invitation and said, "You will tell me!"
Xia Su glanced at the private message from the yellow gate beside Zhao Zhen and asked softly: "I want to know where this letter from Lord Jia's hand comes from!"
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't think about this detail.
Jia Chaochang was so shocked that his hair stood upright, and the cold sweat in his hand was directly exposed. He looked at Xia Shu angrily and cursed the fat man in his heart.
Zhao Zhen also realized something was wrong. The text of this letter was not the official document stamped with the prefecture seal, but it was like a private message between private people!
"Give the letter!" Zhao Zhen took the letter and looked at it again and again, which really confirmed his guess. This was a private message from a local official in Yunzhou to Jia Chaochang!
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt anger in his heart. It turned out that he was just simply unhappy with Jia Chaochang, but now he looked full of hatred!
Every man has a forbidden zone in his heart that cannot be touched. For example, he can't tell Lu Junyi that your wife cuckolds you, and he can't tell Wu Dutou that your sister-in-law is going to steal a man. Every emperor of the Song Dynasty is most afraid of someone sleeping soundly beside him!
When Song Taizu was in a bad position, he was impressed with various means of preventing the throne from usurping the throne, strictly preventing the affair between ministers and local officials at all levels, and fearing that the situation of separatist vassal states in the Tang Dynasty and the rebellion caused by the yellow robe.
Although Zhao Zhen is weak and kind, it does not mean that he is willing to hand over the world to others! Jia Chaochang's ignoring the imperial power undoubtedly completely angered Zhao Zhen!
Zhao Zhen was about to start scolding, but Xia Shu spoke first: "I am also puzzled that if the letter from the prefect of Yunzhou Li Li passed through Tongjinsi, he should be able to see it. It seems that the relationship between the prefect of Li and Lord Jia is very close, and this news is seen earlier than the official!"
"You dare to slander people with blood!" Jia Chaochang was like a defeated rooster. He wanted to have an attack but found that his hair was so angry that no one was afraid of him.
The officials even sneered in their hearts, why don’t you talk about yourself when you squirt with blood on others!
Xia Shu cleared his throat and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the murder of Professor Liu Ping in Yunzhou cannot be such a big fight!"
Zhao Zhen frowned, but Jia Chaochang was happy, mistakenly thinking that Xia Su wanted to surrender himself. Unexpectedly, Xia Su changed his speech and said, "This morning, I just received an urgent complaint from the Jingdong Road Department of Justice and the Jeju Prefecture. Liu Ping was not killed by Liang Chuan, the servant of our mansion, but someone else!"
Jia Chaochang looked at Xia Su with disbelief and said, "Okay, Xia Su! The official wants to find out this fact, but you said no, it turns out that you are clear about this matter! Did you have a premeditation!"
He also wanted to put Xia Xun as a private foreigner, so that he could win back the game he lost.
Xia Shu said Kuaishou: "Why is Lord Jia so excited today? You have to take care of yourself! You are so angry that you are not worthy of your own treatment!"
Jia Chaochang was not angry at first, and was so excited that Xia Shu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight. However, when he saw Xia Shu's wide and fat figure as thick and fat as the door panel, his thin body was afraid that he would not be able to beat him for a while and make a joke again.
Xia Xun said: "I said that these news were delivered by Jeju Prefecture in the morning. We should naturally know the specific matters under my leadership!"
When Zhao Zhen saw Xia Shu coming prepared, he felt relieved and said, "What does Jeju say?"
Xia Feng took out a piece of white-backed five-color silk paper, plate ball brocade, large tooth scroll, and mounted a ribbon, which was a formal official paper! The paper used by civil servants in the Song Dynasty was divided into six levels, and the first class was a grandson of the palace and the princes could use it. The big tooth scroll of the flower spikes on both sides of the halo brocade clasp, and the rest became simpler as the rank of the rank was reduced, which not only demonstrated the importance of the status and was also clear at a glance.
Local officials must use the formal official document format for reporting, requesting instructions, and negotiating. The documents must be handed over to the officials of the states in Bianjing, and summarized to the Tongjinyin Office of the Court, accepting unified management of the court, and generally belonging to the provinces. Unless private messages are sent, this is generally the process.
To be precise, Hao Tong's letter was sent to Dali Temple, which was a document on the death penalty approval of the Huangnigang robber Luo Yidao!
"Jizhou Prefecture found out according to the law that the robber Luo Yidao forced the imperial court's official, Liu Pingren, a professor in Yunzhou, and had all the evidence and confessions. It was also found that Luo Yidao and Huangnigang, Yunzhou Prefecture, Jingdong Road, had committed more than 270 lives. The heinous crimes were too numerous to be written. He submitted a petition to approve the punishment of the owl and ask for a date to be executed!"
Jia Chaochang asked, "Why is the confession I want to see!"
Xia Xun said: "It has been transferred to the Criminal Court. How did Lord Jia mobilize so many people to pay attention to this murderer?"
"How can I sit idly by the way of the imperial officials when I was killed?"
He didn't believe that these local robbers were so brave and dared to kill the people in the government. There must be any secrets here. You can take this opportunity to play it out!
Xia Shu only made a gesture of invitation, and the meaning was obvious, so he listened to the emperor!
Jia Chaochang saw Xia Shu's posture of not afraid of boiling water, but hesitated instead. This kid had arranged everything long ago. How could he find out the problem in his short skill? Besides, Zhao Guan's family was still sitting in the hall watching, so it was even more impossible for him to be serious!
What should I do now!
There was really no one available at the moment. Jia Chaochang was very sad and angry. Thinking about what Xia Feng had just said, suddenly I felt something was wrong, and reacted: "Why is this murder case in Yunzhou Prefecture or a serious case involving officials who are tried by the officials of Jeju Prefecture?"
Just now, Jia Chaochang's own ideas were asked by Xia Shu to take him away, but he finally did not make a big mistake. After making a mistake, he discovered the huge loophole between the lines! Jia Chaochang was like a hungry wolf staring at Xia Shu. No matter how he did this, he made a fatal mistake in the program. If the program was wrong, the conclusion he came to was even more impossible to be correct!
