Chapter 1583 When the prince and the prime minister jointly target
"Your description just now is a bit vague and unclear. Who is the Shangguan you are referring to?" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang: "Those who can be called Shangguan by Hou Zhi are only a few Taoists from Huainan Road. Si Dali, why, you, the crown prince, still keep a secret for your subordinates?"

"Of course I don't dare to hide the truth, but the matter has not been investigated clearly, what Hou Zhi said is only one-sided, without any evidence, and it involves a Daoist official, so..."

"Let's be honest, is it the chief envoy? The inspector? The transfer envoy? It can't be the commander of the Huaidong capital!" Emperor Liu interrupted Liu Yang.

Liu Yang cupped his hands: "It's Yang Kefa, the governor of Huaidong!"

Emperor Liu was not surprised, and even smiled: "That's it! What do you think?"

Liu Yang pondered for a while, looked at Emperor Liu, and said slowly: "Father, excuse me, after learning about Hou Zhi's previous behavior, I feel a little disgusted with him.

It is true that he has made some achievements in his past duties. Although he is praised as a capable person, he is actually a cruel official.

When the results of this investigation came out, I was not surprised, and even doubted whether there were any aspects of his achievements and achievements in his previous positions that the imperial court had not noticed.

Although Yangzhou is a prosperous and prosperous place, it is not Yangzhou's fault, and it is only these treacherous officials who have failed the trust of the imperial court who are willing to degenerate.There was no trace of greedy ink in the past, but it was exposed when he was in Yangzhou, which can only show that this person has been hiding very well in the past."

After talking about his feelings, Liu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Emperor Liu with some anxiety. He also knew in his heart that his reaction was a bit excessive, but he just felt uncomfortable.

After hearing Liu Yang's attitude, Emperor Liu was stunned for a moment, and then pointed out softly: "Seeing that you are filled with righteous indignation and indignation, you have also seen a lot of corrupt officials in these years, so you don't want to be so angry! "

It was a little embarrassing to be said by Emperor Liu. His attitude may have a layer of hatred in it.Although he has never shown it before, from the heart, Liu Yang is not very happy with Lu Duoxun. He thinks that this person is too utilitarian, too aggressive, or has talent, but his personality is really impressive. I hate it, I have slandered and provoked Zhao Pu in front of him several times.

He clearly lacks the bearing and self-cultivation to be a prime minister, but he is determined to reach the pinnacle of ministerial power and replace Zhao Pu.In Liu Yang's view, Lu Duoxun is a scourge within the imperial court. Since he was transferred to the center, the imperial court has become troubled and it is rare to have peace. However, Emperor Liu wants to use him, and he has no choice.

"Let's not mention your attitude, how did you criticize this matter?" Emperor Liu asked.

Liu Yang: "The imperial court has its own system, and everything can be done according to the rules. Hou Zhi sued Yang Kefa, and there is no evidence to speak of what he said and did, so—"

He paused for a while, looked at Emperor Liu, and then Liu Yang continued: "In my personal opinion, Hou Zhi's behavior is suspected of biting and falsely accusing him. Accusing superior officials is even more dirty and referring to clean officials, which is not credible.

Shu'er guessed that the reason for this, apart from Hou Zhi's desire to get rid of the crime in troubled waters, was probably also because Yang Kefa was promoted by Mr. Zhao, and the investigation of Hou Zhi was also initiated by Mr. Zhao! "

"Hehe!" Emperor Liu chuckled when he heard it.

Standing up and pacing, Liu Yang followed naturally, thought for a while and said: "You seem to be a little preconceived, and there is one thing you must pay attention to. Individuals have different likes and dislikes, and I also have ministers I hate, but we must avoid putting this This emotion is brought to the handling of state affairs and public affairs.

From your words, I can feel that you regard Hou Zhi as Lu Duoxun's person, and Yang Kefa as Zhao Pu's person. The Yangzhou case has now become a contest between Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun. It's time! "

Hearing this, Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted: "Father's words are true, my son is indeed a bit hasty!"

"Of course, I'm afraid that's the case in fact!" Emperor Liu changed his words again: "But, even if there is no Zhao Lu, the court should pay attention to such things. Among the Daozhou officials, they are all in the forefront, since there are doubts, you should investigate clearly!"

In Emperor Liu's words, it seemed that Hou Zhi and Yang Kefa were discussed together. Liu Yang's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Emperor Liu carefully, and said hesitantly, "What does father mean?"

"What's Zhao Pu's opinion?"

Liu Yang: "Zhao Xiang did not express his position, but Lu Xiang insisted that Yang Kefa should also be investigated!"

"Lu Duoxun, I really can't afford to suffer at all!" Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing, as if he thought the matter was very interesting, walking slowly, speaking at the same slow speed: "Your instructions are a bit vague, what is Yizhi?" Well, I know, you're afraid that you don't agree with the investigation of Yang Kefa!"

Liu Yang smiled awkwardly, and cupped his hands and said, "I can't hide it from my father's eyes. My son just thinks that if a corrupt official like Hou Zhi wants to bite and bites, he will start an investigation into an official in charge, then there will be a bad start, and the court will be even more serious in the future." eventful!"

Emperor Liu tickled the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, you are thinking about the overall situation, but you can be sure that Yang Kefa is a clean-fingered, honest and selfless person? The governor of Huaidong Road is also in Yangzhou City!
In addition, why did Zhao Pu not express his position, in order to avoid suspicion?Or is there hesitation in his heart?What's more, some officials reported to Hou Zhi, and the imperial court took the matter seriously and went to war, and the internal and external legal departments jointly conducted an investigation.

Why did you start to be cautious when it came to Yang Kefa, and all kinds of worries came?The status gap between the prefect of Yangzhou and the governor of Huaidong is not that big! "

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Yang couldn't help being silent. He could feel that he and Emperor Liu had different ideas on this matter, which made him feel pressured.

With a serious face, Liu Yang did not keep Emperor Liu waiting for too long, and said, "I understand what Father thinks, so I will write another article and agree to investigate Yang Kefa!"

Seeing that he echoed his opinions against his will, Emperor Liu didn't care, and said something to appease his prince: "However, your concerns are also thoughtful, how can you randomly suspect the officials of the border just because of the words of a dirty official? Really can't set a bad example.

However, a secret review can be done, so don't make such a big fanfare like Hou Zhi, and keep the impact to a minimum.If Yang Kefa was bitten by the innocent, then his innocence can be repaid, and it also proves that the imperial court still has vision in the appointment of Daoist officials! "

"Yes!" Seeing Emperor Liu's attitude, Liu Yang relaxed a lot, and even bowed down and said, "Father thinks so, it's very appropriate!"

In fact, whether to censor Yang Kefa was originally only a matter of possibility or not for Emperor Liu, but after talking with Liu Yang, he had to pull back.

After all, Lu Duoxun had already struggled to deal with Zhao Pu, and Liu Yang also stood by Zhao Pu. Under such circumstances, Emperor Liu naturally had to support Lu Duoxun.

In this regard, when Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang, not only did his father look at his son, but the emperor looked at his ministers.

"The Yangzhou case is full of uproar within the imperial court, and I have heard a lot of gossip recently." Emperor Liu sat down again, and motioned for Liu Yang to sit down as well, talking eloquently: "It is said that Lu Duoxun and Hou Zhi have a very close personal relationship. , can be called a close friend, and there have been a lot of insinuations against Luderson recently, and I have also received some secret reports of the impeachment of Luderson.

Many people think that Hou Zhi's corruption and lawlessness in Yangzhou is Lu Duoxun's connivance, and the profit he made will inevitably be donated to Lu Duoxun's house. Do you think these words are heard or not? "

If Lu Duoxun knew that Emperor Liu and the crown prince talked about him like this, he would be terrified.And Liu Yang's expression became very serious about this, he bowed his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"My son thinks that such slanderous words should not be ignored! Although my son does not know Lu Xiang's background, but in daily contact, I also understand that this is a person who has ambitions to leave a name in history. With his current and today's Status, will never care about such petty profits.

Although Hou Zhi was strongly recommended by Lu Xiang, if he committed a crime, Lu Xiang was at most guilty of negligence and improper employment. If you say that Lu Xiang also joined Hou Zhi in corrupt practices and committed corruption, I would not believe it! "

Hearing what Liu Yang said, Emperor Liu smiled, nodded and said, "This is to the point! Remember, Lu Duoxun has a lot of problems, but aside from his personal virtues, he is still a usable person."

"Don't look at him based on your personal likes and dislikes!" Emperor Liu said in a reminding tone, with a serious expression on his face.

Obviously, Emperor Liu also saw Liu Yang's dislike for Lu Duoxun, so he issued a reminder, or it was a kind of warning.A king is a king, and a minister is a minister. Liu Yang must not and should not stand in Zhao Pu's position!
