Chapter 412 Coincidence?

Seeing Xu Chongguang salute, then turn around and retreat gracefully, Lu Chengqi slowly returned to the dragon chair, feeling very tired in his heart.He also understands the power of historical inertia, and it will not take overnight to bring down these vested interest groups.After coming down today, I just confessed to Xu Chongguang alone, so I almost couldn't be fooled.With the implementation of the New Deal, whether it can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of these bureaucrats is another matter.

However, Lu Chengqi would not think that he would lose this battle, as long as he was determined enough to swing the butcher's knife ruthlessly, who would dare not follow?

Outside the Chui Gong Hall, Xu Chongguang had just stepped out of the door when he ran into Xu Jingchun, Director of the Supervision Department.When Xu Jingchun saw the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, he quickly saluted, "Xu Shoufu!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Chongguang's lingering hatred was still there, he didn't answer, but walked away with an angry snort.Xu Jingchun was angered for no reason. Monk Zhanger really couldn't figure it out. Maintaining the elder's courtesy, he turned his head and looked at Xu Chongguang's back in doubt, thinking in his heart: "When did I offend this little old man?" After thinking about it, he offended If there are more courtiers, I don't care if there are one more or one less.Originally, he was a lonely minister, but now he relies entirely on the little emperor's family.As long as the little emperor is in power for one day and his family members are still alive, it is impossible for anyone to pose a threat to him.He just needs to serve the little emperor honestly and be a lone minister who is only loyal to Lu Chengqi.

After he straightened up, the little eunuch guarding the gate of the palace asked softly: "Is Director Xu here to ask His Majesty? Our family is going to report to His Majesty for Director Xu."

Xu Jingchun hastily said: "I have to thank you, father-in-law!"

The little eunuch said with a smile: "What does Director Xu say? Our family still needs you to take care of it. Please wait a moment, our family will come when we go."

Xu Jingchun watched the little eunuch bow into the Chuigong Palace, and came out after a while and said, "Xu Jingchun, Director of the Propaganda and Supervision Department, has an audience!" Xu Jingchun hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and then whispered: "Elder-in-law, is your Majesty happy or not?" angry?"

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood, Director Xu pay more attention to your words, don't anger Your Majesty again."

Xu Jingchun said sincerely: "Father-in-law's kindness will be repaid in the future!" After finishing speaking, he stepped into the Chuigong Hall.Sure enough, the little emperor sat on the dragon chair to review the memorial, frowning, and he was really in a bad mood.Presumably it was related to the conversation with Xu Chongguang just now, Xu Jingchun couldn't help thinking so.

"My minister Xu Jingchun pays his respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann!"

However, Lu Chengqi looked very impatient, and said: "Okay, okay, tell me quickly, what happened to those subordinates?"

Xu Jingchun hastily handed over the booklet hidden in his sleeve, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the subordinate officials have stolen power and practiced politics for personal gain, embezzled people's fields, expropriated the people, forged tax books, and assisted the squires to evade taxes. What's more, How dare you pass on the taxes of the gentry to the private households. Since His Majesty rectified the officialdom, it has decreased a lot. However, there are still similar cases from time to time on Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Guangnan Road, Fujian Road, Jiangnan Road, etc. , the local people complained greatly. However, the subordinate officials are all locals, and the common people have no way to sue the officials, and there are already hundreds of people who committed suicide..."

"boom!!!"

Before Xu Jingchun could finish his words, Lu Chengqi had already yelled at the case: "How unreasonable, how unreasonable!"

Xu Jingchun was so frightened that his knees gave way, and he knelt down on the ground, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down! Such scumbags are not worthy of His Majesty's anger. Your Majesty must put the dragon body as the most important thing!"

Others may not notice it, but Lu Chengqi will never forget that four of the five paths overlapped with the case of prostitution. Could it be a coincidence?It must not be that simple. What does this mean?Doesn't this just show that there are a lot of troublemakers in these groups, and they don't accept Wang Hua!As an emperor, how could he endure such a thing!

Now Su Shi is receiving a secret decree and serving as an imperial envoy to investigate the case.Not long ago, it was also reported that someone wanted to harm Su Shi.Isn't this clearly doing the right thing with Lu Chengqi? The imperial envoy is the face of the emperor, not to mention whether Su Shi is fine or not, this alone is enough to arouse Lu Chengqi's anger.

Fortunately, nothing happened to this treasured future great writer, otherwise Lu Chengqi would have lost his temper.After finally suppressing his anger, he sent more supervision department to covertly protect him, and finally there was no bad news.

Now that the case of subordinate officials coincides with the case of selling children and prostitutes, how can Lu Chengqi not be suspicious?He said decisively: "Xu Qing, you immediately dispatch supervisors, even if all of them are released, I will arrest the criminal subordinates and put them in prison!"

Xu Jingchun knelt on the ground and said the order.But he didn't dare to get up, and there was no movement.Lu Chengqi frowned: "Why, if there is gold on the ground, you can't get up?"

Hearing this, Xu Jingchun quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. I'm afraid those dirty officials won't obey..."

Lu Chengqi was also so angry that he almost forgot about it.Without further ado, I took a piece of rice paper, fixed the two sides with the Longzhen ruler, picked up the brush and swished it.Not long after, an imperial decree has been drawn up, and it has great power to seal the jade seal of the country.Lu Chengqi summoned the personal eunuch, put the rice paper into the yellow silk cloth, and it became a complete imperial decree.

After asking the personal eunuch to hand over the imperial edict to Xu Jingchun, Lu Chengqi said: "There can be no delay in this matter. Your supervisory department will travel all day and night to catch the important criminals."

Xu Jingchun held the imperial decree and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to your holy hope!" After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, bring the evidence with you, and see what they have to say!" Lu Chengqi stopped Xu Jingchun and instructed.

Xu Jingchun didn't dare to slack off, and quickly said: "I obey the order!"

"Go!" Lu Chengqi waved his hand, and when Xu Jingchun came out of the Chui Gong Hall, he sat down feebly, still muttering: "These dirty officials should be killed, they should be killed!"

Has the personal eunuch ever seen such a furious little emperor like an enraged bull?He was so frightened that he bowed his body, and stood beside him tremblingly, not daring to take a breath.But things backfired, Lu Chengqi suddenly noticed him: "Gao Hao, you are also from a poor family, tell me, what would you do when you encountered such corrupt officials?"

This personal eunuch was named Gao Hao, just as Lu Chengqi said, he came from a poor family.Because the whole family couldn't survive, he was sent to the palace by his family and became a little eunuch.It turned out that he was an inconspicuous little eunuch, responsible for looking after the imperial garden.Before Lu Chengqi came to power, the former personal eunuch had been executed with a stick, and he was transferred to Lu Chengqi's side when there was no one to serve him.It can be regarded as a chance meeting, Gao Haoyuan is also a smart person, he has been used to the affairs of the court in the past two years, and his growth has been extremely amazing.Hearing the little emperor's question now, even though he was frightened out of his wits, remember to tell the truth: "Return to your majesty, although the young one came from a poor background, it was not persecuted by the government, but the young one had nine sisters and brothers in his family, and it was impossible to support him." The young ones only enter the palace. The young ones don't know how to answer His Majesty's question..."
