The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1392
Zhao Dongting smiled, and buried his head in the tall stack of blueprints.

Just after a while, he suddenly raised his head and chuckled, "Let's go, follow me back to the imperial study."

Li Goudan showed surprise, "The emperor wants to go back so early today?"

Zhao Dongting walked out of the house, "I just thought of something, which is more useful than studying the red cannon."

Li Goudan didn't ask any more questions, and followed Zhao Dongting to the outside of the house.

Still on the way back to the imperial study, Zhao Dongting asked Li Goudan to go to Xuan Xue, the head of the general's intelligence department.

Not long after he arrived at the imperial study, Xuanxue also arrived.

Now Xuanxue has given birth to Li Asi's baby, and her body is a little plumper than before.His appearance has not diminished, on the contrary, it is even worse than before.

I don't know how many people in the palace are saying that Li Ahsi, the imperial cook, is really blessed to be able to marry such a beautiful and capable woman as Director Xuan.

Although it is nothing new for a woman to be an official nowadays, she is the only one who can be reused by the emperor like Director Xuan.

Perhaps in the future, the number one scholar in the finance and economics department of this imperial examination, Changsha Xie Yuanwen Qingshu will also be reused by the emperor, but that will take time after all.

Today, Wen Qingshu is only assigned by the Ministry of Officials to serve as the deputy director of the Economic Research Department under the Ministry of Finance.

As the yamen responsible for studying the national economic situation, the Research and Economics Department is really not a yamen with real power in the Ministry of Finance, which holds a lot of power.

When Wen Qingshu's appointment was made, there were even a lot of discussions among the ruling and opposition parties.I don't know what the emperor meant by placing her in the Scripture Research Division.

Seeing that Xuanxue's face no longer had the lonely and lonely look at that time, as if her eyes were filled with happiness, Zhao Dongting was also happy for her.

Smiling, Zhao Dongting asked, "How is the child?"

Xuanxue also smiled naturally, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, the child is fine."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "When he gets older, he will also be sent to the Guozijian primary school."

Xuanxue showed joy on her face, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Although there are still "Jinxue" in elementary schools and junior high schools in the Song Dynasty, they can be found everywhere.But in terms of the quality of education, of course the schools under the Imperial College are the best.

Xuanxue knew that even the emperor's princes and princesses planned to send them to the Imperial College to study in the future.

When it comes to privileges, the emperor always seems reluctant to go his own way.

Then she asked Zhao Dongting again: "I don't know what's the matter with the Emperor Xuanchen coming?"

Zhao Dongting smacked his mouth and said: "The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty sent his envoy Li Yinan to see me, saying that he intends to make friends with the Song Dynasty and carve up the land of Xixia. I have already refused and expelled Li Yinan and Qi Hongda. I want You used your secret agents from the Military Intelligence Department to deliberately exaggerate this matter in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, especially the Yuan Dynasty. You said that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was weak in character and wanted to make friends with the Song Dynasty, but he was really afraid of the Song Dynasty."

Xuanxue is a rare intelligent woman in the world. Hearing what Zhao Dongting said, she immediately understood what Zhao Dongting meant.

She smiled slightly and said, "There are quite a few ministers in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty who strongly advocated going to war with our Great Song Dynasty. This action of the emperor will definitely make the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty feel devastated."

Zhao Dongting nodded and smiled, "He wants to lure me to make friends with the Yuan Dynasty, so that I will disappoint the high expectations of my subjects. If I don't return it, how can I be worthy of his good intentions?"

Xuanxue said: "The minister will go down and make arrangements."

Then, he slowly exited the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting didn't plan to go to the workshop of the Military Science Department any more, and looked down at the memorial.

Taking advantage of the time he was talking with Xuanxue just now, Li Goudan had sorted out the memorials by category.

This is Zhao Dongting's habit, just like dealing with military secret letters, he likes to prioritize or categorize things.

The memorials from various places have already been reviewed by the Ministry of State.Those without a seal are political affairs, and those with a red seal are military affairs.

Zhao Dongting casually picked up the topmost letter from the stack of memorials.

Veteran minister Mu Kangxun played the sage.

There are such words on the cover of the memorial.

As soon as the mouth is opened, you can see that there are six big seals on the front page, which are six names.Among them, Lu Xiufu's chapter is listed at the top.

There are six ministers in the Ministry of State who are in charge of the initial review of the memorial. This memorial is signed and stamped with six chapters, which shows that the six ministers all think that the contents of this memorial are quite important.

Except for the fact that there were often such reports to Changsha in the last cold snap and natural disaster, Zhao Dongting hadn't seen six ministers affix their great seals at the same time for a long time.

Before reading the contents of the memorial, his brows were already slightly furrowed.

Looking at it word by word, the expression on his face gradually became terribly serious, as if a dark cloud was covering it.

Minister Mu Kangxun reported from a distance that Wen Zheyan, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan West Road, despised the laws of the country, shielded himself for personal gain, and indulged his son Wen Dong to become a fish and meat of the common people, bullying and dominating the market.As a result, the state equipment could not sanction his son.

In this report, there are a total of fourteen crimes against Wen Dongcheng.

First, in the 11th year of Xiangxing, Wen Dongcheng forcibly occupied Zhang's family daughter, in order to avoid the incident.A few local ruffians in Jingjiang Mansion set fire to the Zhang family, causing all five members of the Zhang family to die in the fire.At that time, the gate of the Zhang family was locked, and the screams spread throughout the village, circling the beams endlessly.

Second, in late October of the 11th year of Xiangxing, Wen Dongcheng, under the guise of congratulating the concubine Qingduan on giving birth to a princess, forced more than a dozen merchants in Jingjiang Mansion to donate some treasures to him.

……

Fifth, in the 12th year of Xiangxing, Wen Dongcheng cleverly used the name of the Dongsha Imperial Army to go on an expedition to Japan, and asked the merchants in the city to contribute to him.

Sixth, in the 12th year of Xiangxing, due to the collapse of the Cenxi Coal Mine, Wen Dongcheng asked wealthy businessmen in the city to donate, and raised more than [-] taels of silver, which was actually pocketed.

……

On the fourteenth, in the 13th year of Xiangxing, Wen Dongcheng asked the rich merchants in the city to donate a total of 10 taels of silver in the name of our war in northern Xinjiang.

Minister Mu Kangxun asked the Holy Spirit to go straight to the blue sky to punish Wen Dongcheng and Wen Zheyan, the traitors of the country, to rectify the laws of the country, and to return the people of Guangnan West Road to a bright future.

After reading this memorial, Zhao Dongting was in a daze for a long time.

Mu Kangxun is now in his [-]th grade, and has already retired from the position of supervisor of Guangnan West Road. There is no reason why he would suddenly go up and impeach Wen Dongcheng and Wen Zheyan for no reason.Even though what he said may not be all the truth, it is definitely groundless.

Guangnan West Road...

After being dazed for a long time, Zhao Dongting finally said to Li Goudan, "Go and announce all the senior officials from the Ministry of State."

He was born on Naozhou Island, and even now, he is still full of affection for Guangnan West Road.There, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty died the most.

When Dong Zhen served as the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, the entire Guangnan West Road was thriving, and the subjects were united.Unexpectedly, in less than two years since Dong Zhen retired, a retired veteran would write a letter to impeach Wen Zheyan, an important minister whom he personally appointed.Wen Zheyan used to be an important minister of the central government, Zhao Dongting can trust his character.

Could it be that human nature can't stand the test like that?

Or is there something wrong with Mu Kangxun's impeachment letter?

No matter what the situation is, Zhao Dongting's mood will not be much better.

Where there is impeachment, there is trickery.

Watching Li Goudan walk out of the imperial study, Zhao Dongting looked at the calligraphy and painting "Water can carry a boat and also overturn it" hanging on the wall opposite him, and sighed to himself, "It's only been a few years. ah……"

In the past, it was not that there were no officials who impeached their colleagues for corruption and breaking the law. Over the years, the corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty have not really been cut off.Even if the Ministry of Supervision has set up supervisory offices and special inspection departments in various places, it is inevitable that there will always be some people who cannot control their desires.But when it comes to the chief officer of a certain road, this has never happened before.

As the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, Wen Zheyan is already the king of Guangnan West Road.

If he has a problem, it will cause a sensation in the entire Guangnan West Road.This is even a major event that may shake the foundation of the country.

After these years of development, Guangnan West Road is the most prosperous area in the Song Dynasty, even if it is not a land of fish and rice and a grain store in the Song Dynasty.

In ordinary years, if something happens to Guangnan West Road, it will have a great impact on the imperial court.At the moment when the war in northern Xinjiang is spreading, it is even more delicate.

Zhao Dongting is even a little hesitant right now, whether to investigate this matter or not.

Checked, Ruo Wen Zheyan really has a problem.If he wins Wen Zheyan, Guangnan West Road will inevitably be in turmoil, and the situation in the entire Song Dynasty will also change because of this.

But now the Song Dynasty still needs to seek the word "stability".
