Chapter seven hundred and ten: decree to search the house
Chapter 710: Issuing an order to search the house
The spring of the four years of Zhonghe came earlier. Before the New Year was over, the sky had already warmed up, and the remaining snow on the roof had gradually melted, so that on the sunny days, the eaves of the houses were still ticking with snow.
The memorial of King Pingxi had been handed over, and the palace responded very quickly and immediately issued an order.
"The commander said: I am a young man and have obtained the foundation of his successors. I am very careful in my nights. If I am on the Yuan Valley, I rely on civil and military officials, who work together to work hard, and I am less ignorant, and have all risen to peace. Since recent years, there have been illegal national relatives who have deceived the heaven and earth, and the people below have been destroyed. Taiyuan has collapsed, and the lives of life are also caused by human disasters. I inherited the great throne, and I am extremely eager to eliminate the major affairs to clear the turbidity... The prince's violation of the law is the same as that of the common people, so why should the father-in-law be hindered? What the Zheng family does is to blame for the court, and the law and discipline are to be done. Although I am a royal relative, I cannot bear to be punished, but my ancestors' constitutional code is very strict, so I dare not forgive me..."
The imperial edict was passed to Menxia Province. Li Bangyan, who had been restless before, read the imperial edict repeatedly and finally breathed a long sigh. The previous few days were the end of the year, and the palace did not disclose the news. He was really uncomfortable this year, and he was frightened and walking on thin ice. But now, the palace finally came down, which made him feel relieved.
In fact, half a month ago, Li Bangyan expected that the Zheng family's corruption case would not involve him, and everything was lost to a letter that King Pingxi asked someone to send. There was only one word in the letter - get out!
When he saw the letter, Li Bangyan was not angry. On the contrary, he stroked his beard and laughed. This was a good omen. If King Pingxi really had his own handle and had the means to rectify him, he would never have written this letter. The reason for intimidation was that he could not find any mistakes and had to come up with this inferior plan. Li Bangyan immediately replied, "The letter from King Pingxi has been received." After reading the letter, the subordinates carefully observed the intention of the highness to maintain it. However, they were humble and did not dare to forget the country. How could they leave? Please do not blame him.
This is Li Langzi's face. He was not very handsome and had already run away. This is also Li Bangyan's courage. Without this courage, he dared to become an official? After ten years of hard work, he finally reached his current status. How could Li Bangyan easily let go? As long as he did not resign or retire, he would still order that unless someone was investigated for rebellion and collusion with the enemy, no one could shake him.
Although he knew that the situation was not as bad as expected, Li Bangyan still wiped his sweat over the years. Now that he saw the decree in the palace came out, he only mentioned the Zheng family. Without pointing out the word Li Bangyan, Li Bangyan breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged the imperial edict for a while, then cleaned up his appearance and said to Shulingshi beside him: "You can watch it for the time being, I am going to enter the palace."
Logically, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not passed yet, and under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to enter the palace. However, Li Bangyan was really angry at this time and had to go and explore the whim before talking.
Li Bangyan is really a bit like a frightened bird. After the King of Pingxi found the evidence of the Zheng family, he submitted a memorial. There was no more movement since then. The less there was, the more scared Li Bangyan was afraid that the person surnamed Shen would do something. Now Li Bangyan is no longer as good as before. To put it bluntly, even many of the disciples and officials did not interact with him anymore. During the Chinese New Year this year, there were only more than 40 greetings. Even a small official may not be so cold, so he was really worried if he didn't understand what Zhao Ji was thinking about now.
Li Bangyan in the sedan chair shook slightly as the sedan chair handled, and was still thinking about the content of the decree in his heart. This decree could only be described as murderous intent. The Zheng family was completely defeated this time. It was an imperative to punish the clan and the house was raided. As long as the decree was leaked from the door, there would be bloody storms. This feeling of storm made Li Bangyan feel sad about the death of a rabbit and fox. He stroked his long beard and sighed, and felt a little resentment in his heart. In all dynasties, who are the chief ministers are not like fish in water? Even if they may not have a good ending behind him, they are not as cowardly as him. If there was no King Pingxi in the court, why would he be forced to this extent?
I felt mixed emotions in my heart. When I arrived at the palace gate, I asked someone to notify me of it.
Zhao Ji's thoughts have not yet been broken from the atmosphere of the New Year. Although there are many rules during the New Year, at least he doesn't have to pay attention to the grand and vigorous Zheng family affairs. He hid in the palace and issued the orders. He no longer wanted to care about the rest. However, Concubine Zheng was thrown into the cold palace. Although this was the decision of the empress dowager, Zhao Ji knew in his heart that the Zheng family was so big that as the imperial edict said, even though he was a royal relative, he could not bear to be punished.
No, and the ancestors' constitutional code was very strict and they dared not forgive me. If this matter was reported privately, Zhao Ji would probably hide it and go there. He found a reason to deal with it. He could not make up his mind to kill the clan. The blame was that this matter was exposed during the imperial trial. The court and the government and the market were extremely concerned about it. During the imperial trial, there were so many eyes to see that the Zheng family's crime was really sensational. How could he explain to the people of the world if the family was not confiscated?
At first, Zhao Ji was a little reluctant to leave Concubine Zheng, but gradually, he focused on Shen Jun. The Tian family always hugged their grandson but not their sons. They always urged and disciplined their sons very strictly. But when they got older, the emperor's mind often softened. When they saw their cute grandson, they naturally wanted to hold them to their knees day and night to tease. However, the rules of the Song Dynasty were also harsh. In addition to bringing the descendants of the princes into the palace during the New Year, most of the time they were not allowed to enter the palace. Occasionally, the emperor summoned them on a whim, and they just sat down with a few faces and dispersed. They had less time together, so they naturally didn't have much pampering. Moreover, Zhao Ji had too many children and grandchildren, so his mind became weak.
But this child born in the palace is now in Zhao Ji's knees. Without it, this child has some of his bloodlines. The peace is quite favored in Zhao Ji's mind. In addition, Shen Jun is not the emperor's grandson, so there is no need to avoid the rules in the palace. Zhao Ji wanted him to live in the palace, but no one was gossiping.
In fact, there are also people who want to gossip, but they are not afraid that the emperor will not be able to follow the advice. The emperor's butt is easy to touch, but King Pingxi is really taboo. Now they are still looking for the remnants of the Zheng family. If you are rushing over to the flames, isn't this your own death?
As a result, this happened. Zhao Ji was strolling in the palace with his grandson in his arms. The Pingxi Wang family wanted to take the child back. He expressed a few words of this. The palace ignored him and the officials pretended to be deaf and dumb. He should praise the merits and slap them to death.
At this time every day, it is Shen Jun's time to take a break. Zhao Ji asked the wet nurse to carry Shen Jun to sleep before he had his own time. He took the latest issue of Suiya Weekly. It has become his habit to look at the weekly magazine, and now he can't change it anymore. What's more, this thing is quite interesting, both with urban life and wonderful stories, and occasionally there are some political comments that are about to stop. It can pass the time by watching it as a joke. What's more, Zhao Ji is also a person who loves poetry. Each magazine will have a special column to print out the latest poems of talented literati from all over the country.
The students wrote poems, but they had no choice but to let the whole world know it immediately. It was hard to find a soulmate, and they were extremely distressed. Suiya Weekly was able to publish their poems, which was really a matter of gloriousness. Therefore, of course, they should not want to make money in this era. As for Suiya Weekly, because they have stationed in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Xijing, and Bianjing, the news spread quickly. There were specialists dealing with famous talents from all over the world. If there were any new works, they would immediately post to Bianjing, choose from the character and publish them. In this way, Suiya Weekly attracted the attention of many literati.
What Zhao Ji loved the most was the column of poetry. Although he had also been with the ministers and poems, most officials were busy with documents. Who would have the interest to think about this? His level was not high; talented men were different. Generally, people had a wealthy family background. They were idle and looked at the scenery and flowers in the fog. The mood was naturally different. They could always get a few wonderful words and sentences, which made people applaud and couldn't extricate themselves. Therefore, Zhao Ji was always unable to stop this Suiya Weekly.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Ji seemed a little bored today. There was nothing outstanding in this issue of poetry. But then again, this is because Zhao Ji has too high vision. Any poetry that can be selected into Suiya Weekly is of great level. In the eyes of ordinary literati, it is already unattainable. However, Zhao Ji is a little picky in running script, painting or poetry. After reading it, he felt depressed and thought, Chen Ao hasn't written poetry for a long time. Do you want him to write one?
Then he shook his head again and thought, "Forget it, he must be busy enough to search the Zheng family. Finally, let him take a break from the New Year."
While thinking about it, he said outside: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the disciple ordered Li Bangyan and Li to meet with you."
Zhao Ji put down Suiya Weekly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Well, I understand." He hesitated for a while before saying, "Let him meet him."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Bangyan, who rushed to Wenjing Pavilion from Zhengde Gate, saluting Zhao Ji, saying, "How are your Majesty doing the New Year's Day?"
This is not a formal court meeting, nor is there any big ceremony of kneeling three times and nine times. Zhao Ji just said lightly: "Sit."
Li Bangyan sat down with his butt and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today the old minister came over. Once you came to greet His Majesty, the other one was to ask whether the Zheng family's decree would be issued after the fifteenth or sent out today."
Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and he even chased him into the palace to ask about this little thing. Even though he knew that Zhao Ji was the one who was most annoying, he never saw Li Bangyan so annoying. He didn't know that Li Bangyan just casually put a guise on his mouth, and said silently: "Let's post it after the fifteenth. The New Year is not good, and it will cause bloody storms. Besides, let the King of Pingxi have a good New Year. You can't ask him to do official business at this time."
Li Bangyan immediately said: "Your *** is unparalleled in your heart."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "What else is there in the foreign dynasty recently?"
Li Bangyan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "The old minister heard some news."
Zhao Ji said: "You said."
Li Bangyan said: "I heard that the King of Pingxi has swallowed up the Zheng family's business, but this is just a rumor in the market..." He pretended to be disbelief and laughed: "I can't do it really. Besides, the King of Pingxi is a big business, so what should the Zheng family do? The Zheng family harms the country and the people, and has an affair with the Jurchens. Many caravans communicate with the Jurchens. The King of Pingxi is His Majesty's humble minister, and he will not take over any business with the Jurchens."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say, "This may not be groundless. I know about this. I will ask the King of Pingxi next time."
