Chapter 853 The Case of Zhao Li

An angry emperor is extremely dangerous, Zhang Dejun is well aware of this, and he sees the opportunity to resign.After leaving the palace, Sun Yanxi stood quietly in the corridor, obviously waiting for him, and grinned at Zhang Dejun: "Sishi Zhang is worthy of being a role model for our generation. , must be a great achievement, and the officials will definitely reward you heavily, congratulations for the small ones in advance!"

Saying that, Sun Yanxi cupped her hands.Seeing this, Zhang Dejun looked very reserved, bowed his head slightly, looked sideways at Sun Yanxi, and replied: "As a servant of the official family, I do my best for the official family and do things for the court. I should do my duty, do you want rewards? "

"Sishi Zhang's loyalty to the official family, a little admiration, is worth learning from us!" Sun Yanxi smiled.

"It's not easy for you to serve the officials well." Zhang Dejun squinted his eyes slightly: "This is not a place to talk. If the officials have orders, you should handle them as soon as possible. If there is any delay, you will lose your head."

Hearing this, Sun Yanxi's rather delicate eyebrows raised subconsciously, and she cupped her hands in a bow, and said, "Thanks to the envoy for reminding me! I will take my leave first!"

From behind, looking at Sun Yanxi's back, Zhang Dejun showed a gloomy look on his brows, the so-called jealousy among colleagues, his attitude made him very unhappy, and even worried.

However, he soon regained his sense of relief. The Imperial City Secretary mainly focuses on the inside, but also focuses on the outside of the Imperial City. If there is any change in Sun Yanxi, he has plenty of ways to concoct it.However, after all, they are people close to the Guan family. Fortunately, Liu Guan's family is not easy to fool.

His mentality regained his composure, and Zhang Dejun couldn't help but smile when he thought of the report to the emperor just now.Now that the emperor is wise, of course he dare not have any deceit and reservations, Zhao Li is indeed guilty.

And what he feels proud of, after this incident, can be regarded as "rectifying" the name of the Imperial City Division.Zhao Li can be regarded as the minister with the highest management status since the establishment of the Imperial City Department.

Over the years, Wu Desi's arrogance has gradually diminished. Under the leadership of Li Chongju, he is very low-key and behaves in a well-behaved manner.Although the hostility and vigilance of the ministers has been reduced, it has also weakened the influence that the secret service office should have.

The establishment of the Imperial City Division was not only for checks and balances, but also to make up for what the Wude Division could not cover. Zhang Dejun understood this, so under such circumstances, he needed to take the initiative to assume that part of the influence and role.

For Zhang Dejun, the Zhao Li case is just a new beginning, the beginning of catching up with Wu Desi.

In the Hall of Long Live, Liu Chengyou was still angry, with a look of being unable to let go.It's not that Liu Chengyou doesn't understand the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It's not that he can't tolerate corrupt officials, as long as he has talents, it will be useful to him.

Just like Zhao Pu, Liu Chengyou knew from the beginning that he would eat and drink on weekdays, but this did not prevent Liu Chengyou from attaching importance to him, staying by his side, and serving as a military counselor.Meng Chang surrendered and became the candidate for Chengdu, and he was the first to be selected.

However, tolerance does not mean indulgence, and it depends on the object.Who is Zhao Li? This person has not left much fame in the official history. It can be said that Liu Chengyou personally dug it out with his eyes and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

For many years, Zhao Li has been set up by Liu Chengyou as a model of honest officials, entrusted with heavy responsibilities, enshrined in high positions, and constantly praised. Liu Chengyou also has great expectations for him, but it is such a "model" talent promoted by himself, Also fallen.

It's just a slap in the face!As the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he also holds a high position in the court and has a huge influence. Liu Chengyou even deliberately pulled him into the political affairs hall to pay homage to the prime minister.It is also a great irony that the highest official in charge of the supervision system, relying on the merits of the supervision, now has a big problem himself.

In the end, he was disappointed in the end.

Of course, the main reason that made Liu Chengyou angry was the feeling of being cheated.Also, does this also prove that there is something wrong with his vision?Zhao Li is like this, what about the others?

"Go to Wu De Division and call Li Chongju to me!" Calling a guard, Liu Chengyou ordered.

Calling Li Chongju, of course, was to see if there was anything going on with Wu Desi. He didn't think Wu Desi would have nothing to say about the things that Huangcheng Division could investigate clearly.

Soon, Li Chongju came to see him, and when facing the emperor's question, Li Chongju seemed very cautious, and gave an answer that did not satisfy Liu Chengyou: "The censor of the capital of Zhao is an important minister in the court. Cause bad influence in the DPRK!"

"Bad effects! Is that something you should consider?" Liu Chengyou couldn't help scolding.

Seeing this, Li Chongju's body tensed up, and he immediately responded, "I'm guilty!"

Of course, Liu Chengyou was speaking in a fit of anger. Seeing his always respectful appearance, he sighed softly and ordered, "That's all! Zhao Lizhen has ordered him to be sent to prison for interrogation. If Wu Desi has any investigations and evidence collection, we will hand them over to Yousi to cooperate with this." case investigation!"

"Yes!"

When Li Chongju stepped back, he couldn't help but a little sinister flashed in his eyes, and he began to think, Li Chongju had obviously discovered something, why didn't he report it directly?What is there to worry about?Besides Zhao Li, are there any other ministers whose surveillance results have not been reported?If so, why did he keep it?
Li Chongju, who was born as Liu Chengyou's bodyguard, was always trusted by his character. Even if he stayed in the position of Wu Desi, he had a good reputation in the court.To be reasonable, Liu Chengyou has no reason to doubt him, but sometimes, he still can't help but whisper in his heart.
"In the past two years, have I relaxed about the bureaucracy?" Liu Chengyou murmured to himself with a cold light in his eyes as his thoughts drifted back.

When Sun Yanxi arrived at the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with his bodyguards, Zhao Li was sitting in the hall, receiving reports from his subordinate censors.When Sun Yanxi read the emperor's edict, he collapsed directly, and finally, in front of all the censors who were looking at each other, he was carried away by the guards and sent directly to the imperial prison.

As the censor of Zuodu, Zhao Li is also considered to be a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is even more enviable because he is trusted by the emperor.This sudden imprisonment inevitably caused a huge political turmoil. There were a lot of discussions between the government and the opposition. While eating melons, everyone was in danger.

After all, Zhao Li is also considered a big shot in the court, if he falls, it will inevitably involve huge consequences. Many of his disciples and old officials are afraid of implicating themselves, especially those who have ghosts in their hearts.As a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Li could have some black information in his hands. If he smashed the cans, broke the news and made false accusations, the problem would be even more serious.

Therefore, after the incident, almost everyone's attention was on the interrogation of Zhao Li in Dali Temple.

As the presiding judge, Cui Zhoudu originally treated the matter with an extremely serious attitude. However, after the real trial started, he found that the progress of the case investigation was extremely fast.

Basically without using his brains, Huangcheng Division and Wu De Division handed over all the people involved and the evidence to him with extremely high efficiency.

What Cui Zhoudu needed was to verify and sort out these witnesses and evidence.As for the crimes committed, Zhao Li also confessed.

Just as many officials were worried, if Zhao Li fell, countless people would be involved, and a large number of officials would be exposed. In Beijing alone, there were 28 officials, big and small. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was naturally the hardest hit.

For these people, Liu Chengyou, who was in a fit of anger, did not mean to soften his hands in the slightest, and issued an edict that no matter who they were or what their positions were, they would all be taken down.

The other persons involved in the case are yet to be arrested, interrogated and convicted. However, Zhao Li, the principal criminal, was convicted of his crime in just two days.And with the fastest speed, he submitted the adjourned crimes and case description to Liu Chengyou's case.

After the imperial reading, the anger was no longer so serious, but it was replaced by deep disappointment.If it's just a lack of virtue and being convenient to others, that's fine, but dealing with power and money, dereliction of duty and perversion of the law, hiding filth, and involving reckless disregard of human life, these are the most unacceptable things for Liu Chengyou.

Guarding oneself and stealing oneself, enforcing the law and bending the law, no matter what era it is, it is abhorrent.
