When the sun rose, almost everyone in Chang'an knew what happened to Yingyang General Zhang Chiyou.

In the neighborhood, you can see people talking about this matter everywhere.

And at the top, the upper echelons of the ruling class.

The storm is already accumulating energy! And always ready, tear up all the enemies it wants to shred!

"Zhao Dun, this silverfish, relies on his uncle as a vassal country, and does whatever he wants in Chang'an City, the official has been persuaded many times, and he still refuses to change, Zhong Ni said: It is tolerable, which is unbearable!"

"Zhao Dun, the commander of the Hengmen, bent the law for bribes, communicated with businessmen, instructed the ruffians to chase and beat the innocent people, the evidence is conclusive!"

Sitting on the throne of Jing Zhaoyin, Yu Jiyan's eyes were red, and he almost used all his strength to roar at his subordinates: "Arrest and bring it to the case immediately, and hand it over to the court lieutenant to deal with!" ”

With this order, all Jing Zhaoyin's officials were dumbfounded!

The commander of the horizontal gate is just a gatekeeper of 400 stones.

This is one of the well-known positions of related households in Chang'an City.

As long as the dots are in place, or the relationship is stiff, even pigs can sit on it.

And that Zhao Dun's uncle is Xu Zheng, a subordinate country of the dynasty!

Although it is only a branch of Da Honglu, it is the most powerful, the most powerful, and the highest position in the Da Honglu Bureau, and it can even be a violent institution without dumping Da Honglu himself!

It is part of the war machine of the Han Empire, and it is the highest authority organ that commands the four vassals of the world!

Outside the Great Wall alone, there were tens of thousands of cavalry followers, under its command.

Xu Zheng himself, although he doesn't have much military exploits and not much reputation, he has never been conspicuous in this Chang'an City, but who doesn't know that Xu Zheng, a subordinate country, is a hardcore cronie of the second division general Hai Xihou?

Even if you don't mention the general of the second division, just the three words of the subject country can scare Jing Zhaoyin's soul in the past!

The two are not at the same level at all, not officials of the same rank!

When did Jing Zhaoyin dare to joke with the relatives of the pawn country?

A lot of people can't believe their ears!

But Yu Jiyan is already bent on going his own way!

He stood up, looked at the other officials, and shouted, "Why don't you obey the orders of this official and send that corrupt person to the court captain?" ”

Only then did someone finally react, and hurriedly respectfully accepted the order: "No! The lower officials strictly obey the orders of the Ming Palace! ”

The others also came to their senses, and they all got up and bowed their heads.

And in their hearts, they know that this is the prelude to the coming storm!

The nephew of a subject country is just a rehearsal of the snake and mouse coming out of the hole before the earth moves!

Behind the chessboard, standing are the real big guys!

The big man who really decided the national policy of the empire!

That giant-like, above the heavenly marquis and military generals, General Yingyang and Yinghou Zhang Chiyou!

Yu Jiyan got up slowly, clenched the official seal in his hand, and reprimanded sharply: "You must remember that we are the ministers of the Son of Heaven, not other people's domestic slaves!" ”

"Serving Your Majesty is the only mission of our generation!"

"Corrupt officials, treacherous villains, no need to be afraid!"

"You must always keep this in mind, don't be afraid, don't retreat, and dare to fight against evil forces, treacherous villains, traitors, and corrupt people!"

"Jing Zhaoyi must keep his eyes open, never relax his vigilance at any time, and report in time the evidence of sinners and corrupt officials who have harmed the people and disregarded people's lives!"

"Don't show favoritism just because these people are relatives of certain people! And because some people have close contacts with certain big people, you shouldn't make it convenient for them! ”

These words, which fell on the ears of other officials, were understood as 'Hurry up and make big news!' ''Jing Zhaoyin can't be left behind the others!'' ''It's up to you to get promoted and get rich! ’。

As a result, all the people suddenly became angry, and they all bowed their heads and promised loudly: "The teachings of the Ming Mansion, the lower officials and others keep it in mind, and they will not dare to forget it if they sleep at night!" ”

Then, with their heads held high, they walked out of the official gate.

Everyone's eyes are spewing with fire, like a hungry beast, and everyone wants to take a bite!

There is no way, for most officials, the road to promotion is long and long.

If you work on qualifications and political achievements step by step, the vast majority of people may not be more than a thousand stones in their lives.

However......

Every once in a while, there will be a group of lucky people who sit on rockets and climb the sky.

These lucky people all have a common characteristic: they stood on the right side and chose the right person in a certain great turmoil, so they followed that person, stepped on the shoulders and bones of countless people, and rose to the top!

So, without any reaction, Zhao Dun was taken down and immediately sent to the Tingwei Residence.

Sent to the Tingwei Mansion with him was also conclusive evidence of corruption, favoritism, and perversion of the law during his tenure as a Hengmen commander in the past few years.

The related cases added up, and there were more than ten feet of bamboo slips.

Ting Wei up and down, amazed inexplicably, dumbfounded, completely unaware of why a small 400 stone Hengmen commander needs such a big battle, and the preparation is so fulfilling?

However, Tingwei Yamen has always been very cold in Jiuqing.

This is an old problem left over from the era of Zhang Shizhi.

Of course, this is also related to the composition of the officials of the Han Tingwei, which is basically composed of Legalists or ministers of the Huang Lao faction wearing Confucian skins.

The former has always adhered to the idea of 'strict law enforcement', while the latter has always emphasized 'punishment for violating the law'.

Therefore, for a long time, as long as there was no interference from the higher echelons, the position and principles of the Tingwei Yamen were still quite neutral and normal.

Therefore, after briefly checking Zhao Dun's case, Governor Zuo Prisoner, who took over the case, directly declared him guilty and ordered him to be taken into custody.

But he never imagined that after he ordered the detention and declared Zhao Dun guilty, just an hour, there were rumors in the whole of Chang'an that 'Xu Zheng, a vassal state, connived at his nephew, bent the law for bribes, and disregarded human life, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive'.

What's even more terrifying is that behind the rumors, there are usually several rumors about Xu Zheng himself.

Corruption and bribery are still small things.

The key is the intimate relationship between the subject country and several close friends that broke out, which made the gossip party in Chang'an full of interest and even excited!

No way!

The private style of this pawn country is really amazing.

That's it.

It doesn't matter if you have both attack and receive.

After all, the nobles of Chang'an are bored, and their idle eggs hurt, so they want to try new tricks.

Xu Zheng is not the first to play like this, nor is he the last to play like this.

However, Xu Zheng played with men to the point of seducing the children in his friend's house, and even exchanged his wife and concubine for someone else's **, which is really a bit limitless!

For a while, the entire Chang'an was discussing the affairs of the subject country.

In the face of the stone hammer with Xu Zheng, a subordinate country, who is the first 'nephew, corrupt the law, and careless of people's lives', the general public has no psychological burden, and they don't care about offending people or not.

On the contrary, countless literati with a strong sense of justice also participated, and began to satirize and lash out at the latter, both openly and covertly.

The tsunami of public opinion broke out in an instant.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the entrance of the official office of the pawn, the angry people had already smashed the house full of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

However, the officials of Jing Zhaoyin, who should have been responsible for maintaining order and even suppressing the people, turned a blind eye.

As for the officers and soldiers of Zhijinwu and Wei Weiqing, they simply walked around the subject country.

No one wants to touch this mold.

In the face of pressure, the vassal state Xu Zheng had no choice but to seek the help of Prime Minister Liu Qu.

However......

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was told that 'the Prime Minister will enter the palace today to see His Majesty, and the subject country will come back at another date.'

Xu Zheng was inexplicable, he knew that Liu Qu must be avoiding him!

In other words, he was abandoned!

There was no way, Xu Zheng had to go home immediately, and then then write a letter to resign.

This is his best choice in the current situation.

Otherwise, public opinion will continue to ferment, as long as the rumored things are hammered, he will be dead or alive!

It is impossible for the emperor of the Han Dynasty to forgive an official who is morally corrupt and has a bad reputation.

What's more, he knew that there was more than just this under his ass.

To be reasonable, this time the opponent is really merciful.

didn't expose his other problems, just stared at his private morality.

As a result, after the news of Zhang Yue's later news reached Chang'an City, the canon became the first minister of Li Guangli's faction to fall.

And it is a canonical subject country with real power, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones!

The news spread, and the whole city was shocked!

Both Li Guangli's faction and other factions were surprised by such a swift and decisive attack.

It also makes them understand that the opponent is really prepared!

As a result, countless plans that had been prepared for a long time were turned out of the box.

In the vanity fair of Chang'an, those who can mix until now and still do not fall down naturally have a few brushes.

Many people have grown up or survived repeated tears.

Of course, they all have their own methods for how to fight back and how to protect themselves.

It's just that after they turned around, they found that even if it was rumors, I am afraid they would not be able to shake the Zhang Chiyou who was standing behind him and was now in Nanling!

Because, the opponent is their black and immobile existence!

A new harvest of seven stones per mu made the people and people of the world full of good feelings towards Zhang Chiyou, and even pinned infinite hopes.

An unprecedented expeditionary victory further elevated and deepened the latter's position.

The black material about this person, even if it is true, will be ignored by the people, and even cause countless tap water to wash the floor frantically.

Wash the black into white!

"Now, there is only one strategy that can hold on to it, in order to wait for the victory of the second division general!" Liu Qu looked at his cronies and said, "That's the total sinking!" ”

"If that Zhang Yingyang's subordinates attack us again, we will counteract his wife, relatives and friends, dig deep into his crimes, and let Chang'an and the world know about it, whether it is a second teacher, or an eagle Yang, they are all raccoon dogs!"

"In this way, public opinion will fall into chaos, giving us a chance to breathe and buy time!"

This is also the reason why Liu Qu gave up Xu Zheng.

Giving up Xu Zheng is not that he doesn't pay attention to the importance of the subject country, but Xu Zheng can't be saved, and he can't be saved, and if he forcibly wants to save it, I'm afraid he will have to catch himself and the entire faction!

If you are not careful, you may be seized by the opponent and rise to the point where the generals of the second division and the prime minister are embarrassed to act as traitors, flies and dogs, and treacherous for personal gain to harm the country.

If you are caught, you will be killed by someone in an instant!

has been mixed with the main altar for decades, and it has climbed all the way from the grassroots to the prime minister's position, Liu Qu's experience and skills in righteous governance are naturally quite rich.

Therefore, after a simple judgment, he made a wise choice!

Of course, as a righteous character, Liu Qu has always advocated that everything should be used to the fullest!

Even if Xu Zheng now bows his head and admits defeat, slips down his knees to resign, and bows down in exchange for peace.

But Liu Qu wouldn't let him leave so easily!

Enjoying the benefits of the Second Division General and him for so many years, eating so many benefits, encountering foreign enemies, not thinking of resisting, and kneeling directly?

If he is allowed to retreat with his whole body, then wouldn't he Liu Qu grow up eating dry rice?

He rubbed his hands slightly, and said to a person beside him: "Respectfully, brother, you have always been good friends with the subject country, please bring a word to the subject country when you go back: In the past, the second master was in Juyan and the king said: The matter of Chang'an, once you lose the king's hand, I am not the king, and the king cannot bear me!" ”

Liu Qu's eyes widened, looked at the man, and said in a deep voice: "Please ask Brother Resignation to ask the subordinate country: Do you still remember the promise of the year?" ”

When the latter heard this, the whole person was stupid.

Because Liu Qu's subtext is actually this: You have eaten labor and capital for so many years, and you have used it for so many years, do you still have a conscience? If so, clean and sloppy suicide!

Usually, on the altar, the person who is directly questioned and reprimanded by the superior or the benefactor.

There is only one way to go: to kill yourself immediately in thanks.

Of course, he can also resist to the end, and he will not commit suicide even if he lives or dies.

But......

Normal people would not make such a choice.

Because he will soon discover that sometimes it is a blessing to be able to commit suicide!

The big people who hold the power and control the resources, if they want to pinch the small people to death, there are not too many ways.

What's more, it's a loser like Xu Zheng who has a bad reputation and can't be looked at directly!

Not to mention, as long as Xu Zheng dares to refuse, tomorrow the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion will come to the door in person and ask him about his dereliction of duty and perversion of the law over the years as a vassal state.

By the way, he will take out some evidence of the crime he has done that is enough to rob his family and exterminate the clan.

Then, the prime minister can be transformed into a contemporary Simon Leopard who presides over justice, kills relatives with righteousness, and is upright.

As for the pawn country, Xu Zheng will be reduced to the role of those treacherous villains and witches in the story of Ximen Leopard's rule.

In the spurning and insults of the people of the world, you will never be able to turn over!

His family, friends, and wives are small, and none of them want to run!

At that time, if he wants to commit suicide, there is no such possibility.

He will find that suicide is the most luxurious happiness in the world!

Therefore, the man named 'Respectful' had no choice but to bow his head and say respectfully: "No, the lower official is hereby ordered!" The lower officials must 'go in person' and 'talk to the subject country'! ”

This is actually to ensure that Xu Zheng must watch Xu Zheng write a suicide note, and then commit suicide in front of him to ensure that Xu Zheng will die!

"Good!" Liu Qu nodded, turned his head, looked at the others, and said, "All the gentlemen should also go and prepare separately!" ”

"No!" Everyone stood up in unison and bowed goodbye.
