Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 907: Believe or not
The previous admonishment officer had always been Teng Yuanfa, who had a bold personality.

He is the nephew of Fan Zhongyan's father, Fan Yong. When he was young, he studied and practiced calligraphy with Fan Zhongyan's second son, Fan Chunren, and he won the third prize in the imperial examination twice.

Why take the test twice, this is explained.

When I took the scientific examination for the first time, one poem did not meet the format, so the late emperor did not accept it in the end.

Teng Yuanfa did not lose heart, so he took the exam for the second time, and the second time he came in third place.

He was also a legend at the time.

But just a few months ago, his official position was suddenly removed. Su Yixin was not very clear about the reason.

"Su Huan, go check."

It's just four words, but Su Hui has followed Su Yixin for many years, so she naturally knows what she wants to check.

Half a day later, Su Hui came back.

"master."

Su Hui handed over a thick stack of paper, which recorded Lu Jifu's life story in great detail.

Su Yixin was very patient and read page by page.

When she turned to the fifth page, Su Yixin frowned. After reading it, she pulled out the page and handed it to Gu Yanxiao: "Take a look."

Gu Yanxiao quickly browsed the contents on the paper.

"Snapped!"

Gu Yan laughed and scolded: "How dare you be an admonisher just like this?"

As an uncle, he actually slept with, fucked, and raped his own niece for five years. The most disgusting thing was that he randomly found an in-law for her to marry.

The family accepted Lu Jifu's money, but they didn't make any fuss even though they knew the woman they were marrying was unclean.

Although he didn't make a fuss, it was very bad for her.

They were often beaten and scolded, and sometimes they simply refused to eat, or they were fed rotten rice.

Within a year, he died of illness at his in-laws' house.

"Mother, is this something a human does? It's worse than an animal."

"Some people are just beasts in human skins. It's okay if they didn't know about it before. Now that they've been investigated, this matter can't just be revealed."

It’s not about participating.

Then settle your own matter first and let the ministers trust your character, and then come and participate.

That afternoon, Lu Jifu's incident broke out.

Occupying the "headlines" in Beijing.

The hot topic of discussion has shifted from the impeachment of the two government ministers and their failure to provide disaster relief to the gossip about the people who participated.

"Have you heard that the censor Zhongcheng seems to be named Lu Jifu? It is against ethics and deserves to die."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Where else could I get it from? A friend of mine was having tea at a teahouse at noon. I heard this."

"Is that true?"

"In my opinion, it's almost the same, but who moved so quickly? In the morning, two ministers were impeached, and in the afternoon, such a scandal was exposed."

The people who spoke looked at each other.

Although I don’t know who it is, it’s not difficult to guess that it must be a certain minister who strikes back.

Zhao Rui listened to Fang Mengfu's report: "You said it was Master's wife who asked someone to investigate?"

"Yes."

Zhao Rui smiled: "If he is not upright, it is not surprising that he was investigated. He is declared to be in the palace. I want to see what he has to say about this."

When the news broke, Lu Jifu broke into a cold sweat. Who could even dig up what happened a few years ago and do it so quickly?

The key is that these things really happened.

Fortunately, all the physical evidence at that time was dealt with and there were only witnesses, so he could still argue.

Just as he was thinking of this, a eunuch came to announce his entry into the palace.

Lu Jifu entered the Funing Hall nervously. This was his first time coming to the Funing Hall in so many years as an official.

"My lord, see your majesty."

Zhao Rui looked at the back of his head and said nothing.

Lu Jifu didn't dare to raise his head, and just knelt like this. I don't know how long it took before he heard His Majesty's voice: "I called you here because I want you to explain what happened today. It's been such a long time on the road, and I've been kneeling for such a long time." Time, you must have thought about how to reply to me.”

"I am terrified."

"How long have you been in court?"

Lu Jifu raised his head slightly, not daring to breathe hard: "Your Majesty, it's been ten years."

"Ten years is not a short period of time."

Zhao Rui said: "I remember that you were recommended by Jie Fu, right?"

Lu Jifu nodded. It was obviously very cold, but cold sweat broke out on his back: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Jie Fu put forward many political opinions in the court. Although some of them were not adopted, they were still for the sake of the country. Lu Zhongcheng, how about you?"

"I am scared. Compared with Mr. Wang, I do have many shortcomings."

"You are somewhat self-aware. In that case, I will give you another chance to explain."

Zhao Rui threw the playbook in front of Lu Jifu: "Let's take a look. It's best to give me a satisfactory answer and give an explanation to the souls of the dead."

Lu Jifu, who had read the memorial, shouted loudly: "It's unjust! Your Majesty."

"Unjustly accused? This memorial is clearly written, what year and day, where, and with whom the relationship occurred. If you are complaining to me now, who should the deceased complain to?"

Zhao Rui was really angry now.

"I wanted to give you a chance. Since you don't want it, then go to Kaifeng Mansion and think about it carefully."

The reason why Lu Jifu gritted his teeth and refused to admit the crime was because he felt that he had wiped his butt clean enough.

But what he never expected was that in order to save her life, the maid who served her niece had kept a final letter written by her master.

When Su Hui found her, she happily took out the final letter.

With this thing, Lu Jifu's scandal was completely confirmed, and everyone in the court wanted to spit.

"Every person is shameless in his own way. He was so shameless that in the end he sold her to the man's family just like selling an object. Human life was considered a waste!"

Although he did not kill the person, his reputation was ruined.

Zhao Rui demoted him from Beijing.

The person being impeached has personal problems, so the content of the impeachment is naturally not included.

Gu Qingjue didn't know about his impeachment until he came back from Jianzhou to provide disaster relief.

It wasn't that his secret guard didn't pass on the news to him, but just when he was about to pass on the news, he saw that his wife had already taken action and vented her anger on her master's behalf, so quickly.

"Dad, you are finally back. That man named Lu is really hateful!"

The disaster relief ministers are still on their way back to Beijing. Not to mention the disaster relief matters that have lasted for several months. Their hard work has paid off. At least they have to wait until they come back before talking about anything else.

Lu Jifu had never been to the disaster-stricken areas, and based only on the number of victims and the destroyed houses in the memorial, he made a lot of nonsense in the court and criticized them for their inability to provide disaster relief. This is very chilling.

Fortunately, Your Majesty is not a believer.

Otherwise, wouldn't dad be unjustly accused of being unfavorable in his work?
Gu Yanheng was not as angry as the eldest sister, but rationally analyzed the reason: "A few years ago, Mr. Wang broke off diplomatic relations with Mr. Lu. My son felt that it must be related to his bad conduct."

After Gu Qingjue changed his clothes, he asked calmly: "Is there anything else?"
