I studied in modern times

Chapter 86 Jingdong Iron Horse (1)

Li Ding rubbed his sore temples, then opened the window and looked outside.

It's already daylight!
He stood up and blew out the oil lamp that had been burning all night.

Then, he checked his hard work for the past few days one last time.

He let out a slight breath: "Mr. Wu Dun, you can't blame me!"

He also has no choice!
In February, a fire broke out in Zhonggongyuan, killing so many people.

Especially the two teachers who burned Xinjun to death.

He is Zhi Gongju, so he is naturally the first responsible person. He cannot escape the blame, and he will definitely be settled by Qiu Hou.

In particular, the two palaces a few days ago posthumously presented the two burnt Zishan Tang Quan Zhidao, and also ordered Yousi to serve as an official in each of their descendants.

While the emperor's kindness is mighty, it also means that the fire in the Gongyuan will definitely be held accountable.

Li Ding knew that if he tried to save himself, he would definitely be demoted from the capital.

It is very likely that they will be thrown directly to those remote military states, and they will never be able to return to Bianjing in this lifetime!
For Li Ding, this is unacceptable!
It took him half his life and exhausted all his efforts to climb from a remote prefecture to Bianjing and to his current position.

For this he sacrificed everything!
He even did not hesitate to bear the infamy of the world, even when his biological mother died, he did not go back to observe his filial piety.

How could all his efforts be wasted because of a fire?
Therefore, he knew that he wanted to stay and continue to be an official, a high official.

You can only pull another person into the water.

And what Wu Juhou did on Jingdong Road cannot be hidden from anyone at all.

It's just that the Emperor Daxing blocked him in the past, and no one was willing to lift the cover of Jingdong Road.

Now, Li Ding knows that he is going to lift the lid!
what does this mean?
Li Ding is very clear.

Once the lid of Jingdong Road is lifted, Baomafa will immediately stink in the wind.

All the justifications and whitewashing of the New Party in the past will lose all convincing force and become a joke because of what Wu Juhou and others did on Jingdong Road.

The only thing the new party can do is cut.

Cut now!

Even further, Wu Juhou will be expelled from the new party!

However, this is just the beginning.

Once the lid of Jingdong Road is lifted, more lids will be lifted.

Since Yuanfeng, the truth of the so-called financial management methods of the new law will be exposed to the two palaces and the ruling and opposition parties.

His former benefactor Wang Anshi may be implicated by his actions today.

but……

"I don't do this, some people do it..."

Jingdong Road is neither Jiangxi nor Fujian.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It will take half a month for what happened there to spread to Bianjing at the earliest.

Jingdong Road is on the side of Bianjing!
Within two or three days, the envoys of the imperial court can run back and forth.

There are so many merchants, scholars, and officials doing business on Jingdong Road in Bianjing...

They also know what's going on there?
In the past no one said it because they dared not.

Now, the two palaces are in charge of politics, and everyone up and down is ready to move.

Regardless of the new party or the old party, there are countless people who are preparing to use Wu Juhou as their own advancement.

After blowing the ink on the paper, Li Ding carefully put away the written letter.

Then he pushed open the door and told the servants at the door: "Get the horse ready for me, I want to enter the palace to play a duet!"

"only!"

……

Li Ding rode his horse to the Xuande Gate, then dismounted and entered the imperial city.

When he arrived at the household department room in the capital province, Li Ding had a short rest before going to Youzhaoqing's gate to submit a post, requesting to be admitted to the two palaces.

But met Zhang Dun who came to the door.

"Why is the provincial assistant here?" Seeing Zhang Dun coming to the door, Li Ding panicked.

Because Wu Juhou was Zhang Dun's able-bodied leader in the development of Meishan, and he made great contributions in the development process, so he was personally recommended by Zhang Dun to the Daxing Emperor, and he was reused.

"Senior brother, do you want to enter the palace to seek justice?" Zhang Dun asked in a deep voice.

Li Ding nodded, he knew he couldn't hide it, and he didn't need to hide it.

"I've heard about what Wu Dun did on Jingdong Road..." Zhang Dun glanced at Li Ding deeply, and said to him earnestly: "But now that Emperor Daxing has just been promoted to immortality, Zigong has just been moved to Jingling Palace by the ministers respectfully..."

"The senior can't wait to impeach Mr. Wu Tun...I'm afraid it will hurt the name of Emperor Daxing!"

"Why don't you take it easy?"

"After two months, after the Daxing Emperor and God Lord have respectfully attached to the ancestral temple, I will write a letter to the two palaces together with the senior, and then report everything about Jingdong Road to the two palaces!"

Li Ding shook his head firmly.

Wait two months?

It has already been preempted!
Besides, he can't wait for two months!Maybe next month, the Gong Ju fire incident will be discussed in the court.

"Zi Hou, you and I can wait for two months..." Li Ding sighed: "Millions of people on Jingdong Road are trapped in water and fire. Every moment, people destroy their homes. Can they wait?"

Seeing this, Zhang Dun could only sigh again, then took a deep look at Li Ding, cupped his hands and said: "The senior cares about all people, and I can't do it!"

Li Ding looked at Zhang Dun suspiciously, wondering for a moment what kind of medicine this Zhang Zihou was selling from the gourd?

Did he come to stop himself?
It doesn't seem like it!

So what the hell is he here for?

Li Ding wouldn't know, these days, Zhang Dun already knew about his investigation on Jingdong Road.

Zhang Dun even sent many people to assist him in the investigation in private.

Afraid that his investigation was not clear enough or careful enough, Zhang Dun directly ordered that many documents from Dutang be transferred to Li Ding's household department.

There is only one reason for Zhang Dun to do this - he also can't understand Wu Juhou.

It's been a long time since I even despise Wu Juhou's actions!
However, Wu Juhou was the most trusted local guard of Emperor Daxing during his lifetime.

It is also the star of the local supervisors since Yuanfeng.

Zhang Dun is neither suitable to move him, nor is it suitable to impeach him.

Li Ding is willing to come out first, but Zhang Dun is too late to be happy!
Because, like Wu Juhou and the entire Jingdong Metropolitan Transit Envoy under his command, they are already rotten.

They are the sores on Xinfa's body.

People of insight have known for a long time that if the new law is to be maintained, these sores must be scraped off!
Now, Li is sure to do this, and Zhang Dun will not do anything to stop him except silently assisting him.

As for why Zhang Dun came to Li Ding to say those things?

He didn't tell Li Ding.

He was talking to the young master of Funing Hall, the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

I, Zhang Dun and Zhang Zihou, are the most loyal ministers to Emperor Daxing!

Zhang Dun knew that the young master was only eight years old this year.

Even if his life expectancy is only comparable to that of Emperor Daxing, at least he can rule the world for [-] years!
Don't take advantage of his young age, and quickly behave in front of him.

It's too late when he grows up.

……

Being disturbed by Zhang Dun inexplicably, although Li Ding felt baffled, he still followed the existing plan and brought the written letter to the gate of You Zhaoqing, and handed over the post, requesting a duet between the two palaces.

Soon, there was a decree from the palace: Li Ding, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion and a servant of the household department, joined the Yingyang Gate.

A courtier was sent to bring him in.

Li Ding was surprised when he saw the minister.

Because he recognized that it was Feng Jing, the only waiter in the emperor's palace, the closest minister around the young master.

The other party understood Li Ding's surprise, so in the process of leading the way, he whispered to him: "Everyone has read the Minister's last letter... These days everyone has been thinking about the results of the Minister's investigation... "

"Everyone has a virtue and a saying..."

Feng Jing cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of Jingling Palace: "'Father is in Japan, and he cares about the people of the world every day. He usually wears only three or five sets of clothes. He often tells me: Before the people in the world have enough food and clothing, I will be alone." Day dare not slack off'!"

Li Ding bowed down deeply: "Emperor Daxing loves the common people and cares about the world. He is indeed a wise emperor through the ages!"

Feng Jing nodded, satisfied with Li Ding's answer, and then told him: "Therefore, everyone said: If there are ministers who deceive the emperor and disobey the emperor, corrupt the emperor's sage government and morality, do mischief in the local area, and harm the common people, then It is indeed the anger of man and god, and he has betrayed the holiness of Emperor Daxing...he is a rebellious minister who traps the emperor's father!"

"Yes... yes..." Li Ding listened and nodded repeatedly.

He understood.

The mistakes were all made by Wu Juhou and his subordinates.

If there is a little stain, it falls on Emperor Daxing, tarnishing the virtue and brilliance of Emperor Daxing.

Then you are the same as those traitors.

only……

Li Ding didn't know whether Feng Jing's words meant the young master's or the empress dowager's.Yang or the common opinion of the two palaces and the young master?

However, he quickly figured it out.

No matter which one it is, it is not the supreme will that he can resist and violate!

……

Yingyang Gate will arrive soon.

Li Ding tidied up his clothes, then took the holder, and carefully put the written letter in his sleeve.

Then he stood respectfully in front of the hall.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a bell rang in the hall.

Then he heard the sound of guards entering the hall, and then, a strange courtier appeared in front of him: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor, please enter the hall to speak!"

Li Ding couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

The young master is here too?

He is also concerned about this matter?
Li Ding took a deep breath, not daring to be negligent, and quickly bowed respectfully and held the fluorine: "My minister obeys the order!"

So he took the imperial wat, respectfully followed the courtier, and walked into the small hall under the Yingyang Gate.

In the hall, the ever-burning candles are still shining.

On the mat at the east side of the hall, the young master, who was wearing a yellow uniform and a small cape with his feet stretched out, sat quietly on it.

Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, his demeanor and sitting posture were upright, as the folks said: he has the laws of the emperor and the legacy of his ancestors.

And behind the young master, the curtain lowered, and the figures of the two palaces could be vaguely seen between the bead curtains.

Holding the wat, Li Ding respectfully bowed twice to the empress dowager on the west side behind the curtain, then bowed twice to the young master on the east side and the empress dowager behind the young master.

Then he said: "Minister, the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion and the servant of the household department Ding, I wish all blessings to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the Emperor!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply again.

"Long Tu is free!"

The two palaces behind the curtain spoke.

"Give Longtu a seat and tea!" The Empress Dowager continued.

The young master sitting on the throne didn't say a word, just sat quietly.

But Li Ding could feel that the young master was looking at him.
