Chapter 695 Transforming step by step into the real blue sky

"Your Majesty, the thief has harmed the people, broken the law and corrupted the law, and has long since lost the respect of the courtiers. Now the fierce flames are raging, killing the loyal and the good, and causing the disaster of the capital. You must not let this thief go, causing the hearts of the people to boil. Turmoil!"

When Gao Qiu arrived at the palace, he found that a group of civil servants had already gathered here, and some even knelt down, kowtowed to the palace, and cried out in grief.

When the kings of Yongjia County and Yongyang County were killed, they did not see this group of scholar-bureaucrats grieving so much.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, when the Prince Jian's Mansion was on fire, he did not see this group of scholar-bureaucrats grieving so much.

Now that Wu Juhou's whole family has been killed, how can the foundation of the country be shaken all of a sudden?

Gao Qiu was already in a bad mood, but when he saw the crowd crying, the look on his face became even worse, and he snorted coldly.

This face fell into the eyes of those who cared, and Zhao Tingzhi immediately stepped forward: "The minister impeached the secretary of the imperial city to raise Gao Qiu, and to commit adultery with Ding thief wantonly. If this thief is not eliminated, it will not be enough." Take the anger of everyone!"

Gao Qiu had already learned from Ding Run that it was Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi who were targeting them this time, and hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Zhao Tingzhi, as Yushi Zhongcheng, do you just talk like this?"

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes were wide open, with awe-inspiring righteousness, he stepped forward directly, and asked repeatedly: "Gao Qi, you are so crazy, who knows that Ding thief and you are inseparable, advancing and retreating together, this thief even intends to step down from the position of judge and enter The Secretary of the Imperial City is your deputy, now that Ding Thief commits such a heinous crime, you are just exonerated by cunning words, how can you stop the mouth of the world?"

Gao Qiu should actually retort at this time: "The Imperial City Division can also transfer the various squads of the Imperial Army. According to your opinion, the entire Imperial Army is also full of thieves? Ding Run was originally an official of the Imperial City Division, and he was transferred to Kaifeng after gaining the trust of the officials. Fuya, what's so strange about wanting to go back to the Imperial City Division now?"

But his reaction and eloquence are far behind the Yushi who specializes in spraying people. In addition, Zhao Tingzhi approached him, and the saliva was sprayed on his face. Trembling with anger: "Zhao Tingzhi, you...you..."

Seeing Gao Qiu's unbearable situation, Zhao Tingzhi's aura became stronger and stronger. When he found out that he was guilty of being a thief, other courtiers also surrounded him, talking and pointing at each other, surrounded Gao Qiu in the middle, and exported crazily.

"quiet!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the sharp eunuch's voice sounded.

When the officials looked around, they saw Yang Jian and Lan Congxi walking out of the hall, surrounded by Zhao Ji from left to right.

Zhao Ji's face was pale and exhausted, obviously he hadn't recovered from last night's New Year's Eve watch, and receiving this news on the first day of the new year made the official of Song Dynasty even more confused.

There are not many examples of killing officials and rebelling in the local area. The government exploited too much. For the first time, the key murderer was still his direct subordinate, and he even left his name in arrogance.

In the past, Zhao Ji might feel overjoyed, thinking that he could change the topic, but after this period of practice, he also understood that the impact of this news is strong, but a mere Wu Juhou, at most, is a topic for a few days, and it is overwhelming. Not less than the heat of matricide.

So what he considered was how to use this matter to stabilize his imperial power.

It was Zhao Ji's method to block the ministers from outside the hall before. Seeing that Gao Qi was under siege, he was about to be overwhelmed, so it was his intention to come forward at the right time.

When Gao Qiu saw Zhao Ji, he immediately threw himself in front of him, kowtowing again and again: "Please let the officials be the masters of the ministers! Be the masters of the ministers!"

Zhao Ji looked at him and sighed softly: "Gao Qing's family... oh!"

Comparing Gao Qiu and the eunuch together, Zhao Ji believes that the eunuch will not betray him, but putting Gao Qiu and the officials together, Zhao Ji must trust Gao Qiu, after all, this is the only confidant of the outer dynasty, so it is It must be guaranteed.

However, facing the upright and stern eyes of the civil servants, it is clear that Zhao Ji, who is a powerful scholar-bureaucrat group, will not confront him head-on, so he said slowly to Gao Qiu: "Ding Run, as the judge of the Kaifeng government, has committed crimes and crimes. Taotian, you have the duty of supervising officials to promote the imperial city secretary, but you have done nothing, let Wu Longtu's family die, you should be punished, remove the position of promotion, and downgrade it to a point!"

Gao Qiu fell on the ground, feeling that the sky was about to collapse, sobbing: "Officials! You have been wronged!"

Zhao Ji ignored him and looked at Zhao Tingzhi: "Zhao Zhongcheng, do you think such a punishment is in line with the court's law?"

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. According to the responsibilities set by the officials now, if the Imperial City Secretary was wrong in this case, wouldn't Yushitai, who also supervises all officials, be guilty of slack?Are Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry not at fault?
This stick seems to be hitting Gao Qiu, but in fact it covers a wide range. After thinking about it carefully, he knows that it is unrealistic to take this opportunity to kill Gao Qiu completely. He can only say: "Your Majesty is wise and wise." !"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly: "Zhao Zhongcheng, since you suspect that Gao Qiu and Ding Run are in collusion, then Gao Qiu should avoid suspicion, bring Ding Run to justice, and entrust you with the duty of making an example of others. Can Yu Shitai live up to everyone's expectations?" , take on this important task, and bring the culprits to justice?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Tingzhi naturally couldn't say no, and said: "I have no shirkable responsibility!"

Zhao Ji nodded: "Okay! It's been a troubled time recently, and there must be an enemy country who saw me in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the people lived in peace, making troubles in secret, and plotting wrongdoings. Your family can't fulfill the thief's wish and do something that will hurt your relatives and enemies." Things!"

The officials looked at each other, but were willing to accept this explanation, and responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Ji pressed his brows, thinking of promoting his cronies among the scholar-bureaucrats, and waved his hand: "Retire!"

The uproar came to an end, although Gao Qi was not beaten to death with a stick, but at least the officials showed clear rewards and punishments and showed their attitude, the officials were still satisfied.

At the same time, for Zhao Tingzhi, who is upholding justice, many courtiers surrounded him, surrounded the chief of Yushitai, and discussed how to interrogate Ding Run's three divisions and declare his crimes to the world, so as to warn the world that such a big crime must never be committed. evil.

The officials in the front disappeared, and the officials in the back left. Gao Qiu in the middle clenched his fists and stood up slowly, his face fluctuating red and white, mixed with grief and indignation.

He suddenly understood why Ding Run raised the butcher knife...

But understanding is understanding, he staggered out of the palace gate, under the worried gaze of Gao Lian and Jiao Ting who were waiting, Gao Qiu who slowly got on his horse, the first sentence was still: "Go, go to the academy!"

Riding his horse to the gate of Suian Academy, Gao Qiu realized that he had come to the wrong place. This year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, how could Mr. Lin be in the academy, but it seems that he went to visit his home for such things...

Fortunately, at this moment, the courtyard door opened, and that familiar tall figure came out, smiling slightly at him.

Gao Qiu's eyes were red, and he rushed forward: "Mr. Lin, fortunately, you are still here, and you are still here!"

Li Yan supported him, brought him into the courtyard, and made a cup of tea: "Hold on high, chaos will make mistakes, be sure."

Gao Qiu sipped his tea, then said in a low voice, "I'm no longer lifting..."

Li Yan thought that Zhao Ji was really cowardly: "But I still want to mention something, right?"

Gao Qiu nodded and sighed deeply: "I actually know that no matter whether it is a promotion or a point, the Imperial City Secretary is up to me, but I am not reconciled! This position of promotion is also won by the cult. The strongholds in various states have been paid for by making great contributions, so why should I be convicted and demoted because of a few questions from those civil servants, I have done nothing wrong!"

Li Yandao: "Then what did Di Wuxiang do wrong back then? What did Wang Wugong, who was also the privy envoy with Di Wuxiang, do wrong? Why were they slandered by civil servants and demoted?"

Gao Qiu's expression turned ugly: "Mr. Lin also thinks that this is how the world should be?"

Li Yandao: "Of course not! I firmly believe that history will give a fair evaluation. In the future, countless people will complain about Di Wuxiang and the warriors who have suffered unfair treatment. But now the atmosphere in the court is indeed the same, and civil servants control the right to speak. As long as they catch a problem, they can make use of it and make money out of everyone. Not only the current generation, but also the officials of the Song Dynasty have concerns."

Gao Qiu's eyes dimmed, and his shoulders slumped: "Understood, I really can't resist the general situation with my mere strength..."

Li Yandao: "But on the other hand, such civil servants can't do anything about Gao Tiju, even if they use trumped-up charges to pollute you, as long as the officials can distinguish loyalty from traitors, they can't really affect you. Yes, it's the right thing to do!"

"The common people actually understand this most clearly. Whoever makes them live and work in peace and contentment is a good official. That's why the common people call you Qingtian, and they don't like to see Wu Juhou!"

Hearing the words, Gao Qiu was refreshed. Before kneeling in front of the hall, he felt that he had been abandoned by everyone. It was only at this moment that he regained his dignity and confidence: "Young Master Lin is right. To be an official is to serve the people. Be the master, what I do is meaningful!"

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, I met Ding Run in Kaifeng government office not long ago..."

Li Yandao: "What did Judge Ding say?"

Hearing this name, Gao Qiu was completely relieved, as expected, Mr. Lin was different from the others: "Judge Ding said that Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi conspired to corrupt him...Although he also took bribes, they obviously didn't do it for justice. They came here for the Imperial City Secretary, and now that Wu Juhou's family has been wiped out, according to Judge Ding, if he is not going to leave, he should be following Zhao Tingzhi!"

Gao Qiu thought that Ding Run had gone to extremes before, but now he felt that Ding Run's method was really happy. When he said the last sentence, he even had strong expectations, and he almost cursed Zhao Tingzhi to death.

But Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tingzhi is no thicker than Wu Ju, not to mention that the magistrate of Kaifeng was exterminated this time, the court will definitely strengthen the guards, and will never let another tragedy happen. Judge Ding doesn't know enough about Zhao Tingzhi. If you make a rash move, you may fall into a trap..."

Gao Qiu's expression changed, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Then how can we help him?"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "Don't act rashly, and don't underestimate Yushitai, Judge Ding's dealings with us before must have fallen into the eyes of those with a heart, and now they can't find Judge Ding's whereabouts, maybe they want to start with us. "

Gao Qiu was stunned, nodded and said: "Okay, I won't act rashly!"

Li Yan said again: "Since the officials have handed over this matter to Yushitai, it depends on what they do. Next, Gao Tiju might as well recruit more helpers to improve the working ability of the Imperial City Secretary. That Jiao Ting was initially ignored by the steward. The dirtiness was discovered later, isn’t this an expression of self-improvement? There should be as many talents as possible that would otherwise be buried!”

Gao Qiu clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"

The two discussed for a long while, and waited until Gao Lian bowed deeply, stepped out of the academy, and waited for Gao Lian outside to suddenly realize that in just one morning, a rare transformation seemed to have happened to this cousin.

A little impetuousness faded, a little more determination, and after getting on the horse, Gao Li burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for work: "Let's go! Go back to the Imperial City Division!"

Hearing the sound of horseshoes going away outside, Li Yan in the academy put down his teacup, feeling a little emotional.

Gao Li transformed into the real Qingtian step by step. His guidance and promotion are important, but the oppression of the world cannot be ignored, which is really outrageous.

Since it was so outrageous, he shook the bell, and sent a simple message to Xiao Hei with a tacit understanding: "Go and get the box."

"Zuo Ming" has not appeared for a long time, and the officials in Beijing and China may have forgotten who... is the real traitor!
