Chapter 645 Ding Run Ding Yan Luo Gao Qiu Gao Qingtian

Wu House.

After carefully checking the studies of the eleven sons, Wu Juhou frowned, with a clear look of hesitation on his face.

His wife personally picked up the fragrant tea, came to the side, cast a look at her beloved son-in-law, and then said: "Sir, what's bothering you?"

Wu Juhou's face darkened, but he would not reprimand in front of all his sons, but waved his hands: "You all go down!"

For this father who has always been stern, Wu's sons were genuinely afraid, and at this moment they all responded as if they had received amnesty: "Yes!"

Seeing his sons retreating, Wu Juhou looked at his wife and said sharply: "If you dare to protect them, if you don't study hard and go to the place of fireworks and willow lanes all day, don't blame me for turning your back on me!"

The madam cried out: "I can't bear what my husband said. If I don't tell you with all my heart someday, how can it delay their studies?"

Wu Juhou also knew that such scolding was a bit angry, but seeing that his son hadn't inherited his intelligence at all, he couldn't help but get angry: "We are a family of officials. It's easy to be rich and easy to lose. There is a folk saying 'thousand years of land' "Change for eight hundred masters" is talking about the current world situation, if you fail to pass the Jinshi exam, the family background will decline very quickly!"

Madam frowned: "Could it be that none of these children have the qualifications for Jinshi?"

Wu Juhou shook his head: "I don't want to lie to myself, they are already barely able to pass the examination for their knowledge, if they didn't study in Taixue, they might not even be able to pass the provincial exam..."

This actually means that after his death, the family will definitely decline. He sighed: "The real long-term wealth and wealth is actually the local tycoons who guard their hometown, so that the family's safety can be kept forever!"

Madame suddenly said: "No wonder my husband started a school and bought land in his hometown!"

Wu Juhou smiled wryly: "Master...I'm afraid I can't afford to be called an old man!"

Madam's expression suddenly changed: "How do you say this? Mr. Xiang already has the authority to know about the Kaifeng government office. Isn't this the prime minister's preparation? When Mr. Zhang goes, how many people in the court can stop you?"

"Zhang Xianggong..."

Thinking of the old man who was more aggressive than himself, Wu Juhou sighed: "Han Zhongyan is a mediocre person, Zeng Bu and Cai Bian are too selfish, and their practical work is not as good as mine. Whatever the government wants to do, they need money. This is also my biggest reliance, but I didn't expect Liu Yanqing to happen!"

Madam was shocked and angry: "Then Liu Yanqing's matter is so serious?"

Wu Juhou said: "After Liu Yanqing was arrested and sent to the Imperial City Division, his sons scattered around and begged all of us...Hey, even though he is the son of a warrior, he is quite ruthless, showing us If you don't reach out to help, you will shake off all the previous things!"

Thinking of the scene of Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangshi rushing in, although Wu Juhou held grudges in his heart, but compared to his son, he felt an indescribable sadness. Regardless of his high position, his family might be really good in the future. It's not as good as that of the Liu family.

The status of scholar-bureaucrats is much higher than that of warriors, but in terms of family continuation, it is really better to inherit the family of generals like Liu Yanqing.

To put it bluntly, the entrance examination requires talent, and the competition is extremely fierce, and each generation of generals only needs to produce a few who dare to work hard, and go to the front line to sacrifice themselves, and they will be rewarded by the court and protect the wealth of the family. The difficulty is naturally very different. .

Thinking of this, he showed deep regret: "I underestimated that Ding Run. He was full of quackery. He thought he was just a rough martial artist, and he could manipulate him at will. He didn't expect that he could collude with the lucky minister Gao Qiu and use Ming Zun It’s a big fuss about teaching! If Liu Yanqing can’t be rescued quickly, and this matter breaks out, others may be fine, Zhao Tingzhi will not let me go..."

In the Song Dynasty, corruption never really caused the downfall of officials, but corruption can be used as a tool for political struggle, allowing opponents to make use of it. Zhao Tingzhi originally competed with Wu Juhou for the position of prime minister, and he was Yushi Zhongcheng. How could he miss such a thing? ?

Wu Juhou had foreseen this point, so he felt that he was afraid that he would have no chance to be officially called a gentleman.

Madam was so anxious that tears were streaming down her eyes, she was thinking of a solution, when there was a knock on the door, the housekeeper hurried in and whispered to Wu Juhou.

Wu Juhou listened intently, and the smile on his face gradually bloomed: "Quickly go and find out how many people the Imperial City Division has lost. Once it is confirmed, I will enter the palace tomorrow morning to face the saint!"

The butler took the order to do it, and seeing that Fulang had gone from being depressed just now to being happy now, Madam also hurriedly asked, "Is there a turning point?"

Wu Juhou stroked his beard and said, "That's right. Ding Run and Gao Qiu set up a trap to lure Ming Zunjiao's thieves into ambush, but they were attacked. The Imperial City Division suffered heavy losses. It's God who helped me! It's fitting for these warriors to fight their lives with power." What a fate!"

Madam didn't understand: "But what does this matter have to do with Liu Yanqing?"

Wu Juhou felt the turning point, and explained in a good mood: "Things in the court have always affected the whole body. All officials do not want the Imperial City Secretary to take power. Originally, Gao Qiu used Ming Zun's teaching to launch troubles, just like Gongsun Zhao in the past. The general purpose of destroying Wuyou Cave is to seize the righteousness and it is difficult to question it. Now that he is frustrated, he can naturally criticize and let the officials give up the idea of ​​appointing the Imperial City Secretary."

Only then did Madam understand: "So suppressing the Imperial City Secretary is the general trend, and Zhao Tingzhi doesn't dare to embarrass his husband in this matter?"

Wu Juhou smiled and said: "Young lady is smart, this time it is really thanks to those cult thieves, it's not too late, I want to rescue Liu Yanqing quickly, and then take Ding Run completely, and don't give this thief a chance to continue to counterattack! "

Seeing that Wu Juhou started to write the memorial, Madam hurriedly ordered the maidservant to prepare fragrant tea and brought it to the side. The husband and wife looked at each other in harmony.

……

Early the next day.

Wearing a purple robe, Wu Juhou walked out of his mansion and got on his horse energetically: "Enter the palace! Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

The Yanfu Palace has not been officially completed yet, and the current official family lives in that palace. After taking power recently, many government affairs are also handled in it. With Wu Juhou's official rank and status, he can request an audience.

In fact, Wu Juhou didn't like the official who was over nineteen years old. He felt that he was far worse than his father, Shenzong, especially the previous incident of killing his mother.

Regardless of whether such incidents are true or false, as long as they happen and leave a mark in the unofficial history, it will be a shocking scandal, and the entire court will lose face. To be honest, if it is not for the stability of the court and the public, there should be ministers who do what Yihuo does and support The new king is on the throne.

Of course, on the other hand, the scholar-bureaucrats were very satisfied with such an official family, because the imperial power in the midst of such a scandal was obviously extremely unstable and had to rely on the scholar-bureaucrat group.

Although in essence the Zhao Song royal family had long ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the less arbitrary power the emperor Gan Gang had, the greater their power was bound to be, especially the position of prime minister.

Wu Juhou's eyes showed a fiery look, and he touched the memorial in his sleeve, preparing for this opportunity, taking the lead in beheading the Imperial City Secretary, and getting the most powerful political capital to hit the position of prime minister.

However, as soon as he arrived at Yujie, he found that the people cheered up and flocked in one direction: "Go and see the thief! The cult thief who set the fire has been caught!!"

Wu Juhou's body swayed, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly ordered his servants: "Go and see what happened..."

After the servant left, he returned quickly: "Tell Alang, the Kaifeng government has caught the thief of Ming Zun's sect!"

Wu Juhou was furious: "This old man knows the Kaifeng mansion, how come this old man doesn't know that the mansion has caught the thief? Let's find out again, what's going on?"

The servant kept silent and went to find out, but soon Wu Juhou didn't need to deceive himself, because Ding Run and Gao Qiu were riding on tall horses, followed by seven or eight prison carts.

These prisoners were held incommunicado and well protected with round shields. If they paraded all the way through the streets, it was obvious that they must not be smashed to death by the common people and must be closely guarded.

What the people are more concerned about this time is the unprecedented arrest efficiency of the government, which makes them feel that everything has come back: "Judge Ding is mighty! Judge Ding is mighty!"

"It is said that Judge Ding is the senior brother of Judge Gongsun..."

"No wonder, no wonder, we are blessed, and Yama finally decides for us!"

"Ding Yanluo—Ding Yanluo—!"

Even many people's impression of Huangcheng Division has changed.

Huangcheng Division was also bullying men and women back then, and had a very bad reputation among the people, but it has since declined, and now it returns in a heroic way, with a sense of preciousness like a prodigal son turning back, so that I don't know who took the lead. They actually shouted in unison:

"Gao Qingtian—Gao Qingtian—!"

When thunderous cheers came from the streets and alleys, Wu's servants noticed that Wu Juhou's back, which was originally straight, suddenly bent down, and it was so precarious that he almost fell off his horse, while Gao Qiu's face was so full of laughter that his wrinkles almost knit together : "Hey, yo, don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!"

Ding Run was also clasping his fists at the people on both sides of the tall horse. He was even more happy that his position as a judge was finally preserved: "Haha! Everyone has won the award! You have won the award!"

Under the reluctant farewell of the people, the two parted in front of Chengde Gate. Gao Qiu took the key criminal to the palace to announce the good news to Zhao Ji, while Ding Run hummed a ditty and went all the way to the Kaifeng government office.

Surrounded by the police officers, he happily got off his horse, glanced at the wanted notice by the door, and his smile froze instantly.

Just now, Ding Run felt that the scene of being surrounded and welcomed by the people was very familiar...

Now that he remembered, when he wiped out Wuyou Cave, he was standing in the crowd, and he saw Gongsun Zhao sitting on a tall horse, accepting congratulations and love from the people like this.

It didn't take long for the younger brother to be on the wanted list.

"Perhaps the time left for me, the judge, is not much..."

Ding Run clicked his tongue, summoned a few confidants and quickly said, "Go and check for me, Wu Longtu's family... yes, I will give them a big gift soon, to ease the relationship... Ha ha!"
