Scholars unparalleled

Page 461

I haven't drunk the tea yet, but the rich aroma has already made my mouth water.

In the past, the ministers would definitely not be polite, and they would just serve tea and drink it.

But at this time, they obviously didn't have this thought anymore, and their expressions were somewhat solemn.

"My lord, someone sent an anonymous letter to the government office today, saying that Lord Li and Lord Wu were taking bribes. They should have been investigated slowly, but someone secretly reported this matter. In Huajianfang, the two The adult’s son got into a dispute with others, and the fight became a mess, and the incident became quite serious, and several people were seriously injured.”

Hearing this on New Year's Eve, Lu Chensheng frowned, and his face was a little ugly.

Along with some people, there was also Liu Wensheng.

The matter was relatively big, involving several ministers, and Jin Yiwei did not dare to neglect to bring people into the palace.

"Jin Yiwei found these?"

Lu Chensheng pondered for a moment and asked.

The envoy of Jin Yiwei felt a little ashamed when he heard the words, "Return to the Holy Lord, today is New Year's Eve, there are many people entering and leaving the city, and there are really not many clues. Right now, we need to investigate slowly."

"I don't know who sent the letter?"

Lu Chensheng frowned.

"I don't know"

Lu Chensheng looked helplessly at the ministers, "What do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I am so loyal, I definitely did not do such a thing!"

"Your Majesty, I'm a scholar. How could I do such a thing on the court's salary?"

Both of them said loudly at this moment.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, I really don't think they have done such a thing.

It was difficult for Lu Chensheng to tell the truth from the fake for a while, "This case will be secretly investigated by the people of Jinyiwei. Before the investigation results are out, it must not be publicized."

Who knows what the common people will do when the news is spread out, perhaps before the investigation is clear, the common people have already decided that these two ministers are not good people.

"Yes!"

The envoy of Jin Yiwei hastily responded.

"The fight didn't kill anyone, did it?"

Lu Chensheng rubbed the center of his brows, all New Year's Eve was looking for trouble for himself.

"Not really, but it hurt a lot of people, and the trouble was quite big."

Speaking of this, the ministers on the side were a little nervous, and their sons were all involved in this matter.

"Let the people in the yamen judge this matter, and they can do whatever they want."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, several ministers on the side breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, it is at most a fight, and it is not a big deal.

"My lord, I have one more thing to do."

Li Shilang said.

Lu Chensheng nodded slightly, and Li Shilang said loudly when he saw this.

"I don't know who is framing me, but before the matter is clear, I want to resign from the official position temporarily, and return to the temple when the matter is clear. Please allow me."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment.

The rest of the ministers at the side turned their heads to look at Li Shilang, and then they all threw themselves to the ground in admiration.

This guy is amazing!

He directly resigned from office, indicating that he would definitely wait until he was innocent before resuming his official status, so as to prevent the possibility of using the power at hand to clear himself.

Of course, this is how the common people see it.

And the other party wants the opinions of the common people.

The incident of Huajianfang is spread, and I am afraid that the incidents inside it will also be spread. The other party's resignation must be seen by many people as the minister who is absolutely innocent. He resigned just now. .

It also directly erected its proud and strong side.

Don't you say I'm corrupt?Then I will resign myself, and when you investigate clearly, I will return my innocence and I will resume my official status.

"My lord, I also request to temporarily resign from the official position, and wait for the matter to be clear before resuming the official position!"

Seeing this, the other minister immediately imitated it.

Lu Chensheng understood what the two of them meant. They were planning to use the trick of resigning from office to restore their image in the hearts of the people.

In fact, this is also to restore the people's impression of the imperial court.

After the common people knew about this, they would only say that the ministers in the imperial court were really glorious, and after being framed, they had to pay back their innocence before they were willing to become officials again.

Chapter 761

After asking Jin Yiwei to investigate carefully, the ministers left one after another.

At the request of the two ministers, Lu Chensheng temporarily dismissed them.

After Lu Chensheng came back, he talked with the three wives, and the three women were a little surprised. This minister really is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he turned around and thought of a way to preserve his reputation.

What made them even more surprised was that such a thing happened even after the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal. If it was really big, Jin Yiwei would not dare to let Lu Chensheng know about it easily.

The next day, it was a rare good weather, and there was no snow.

There are quite a few pilgrims in the city who get up early in the morning to offer incense, and they are all vying to be offered incense.

There are many performances in the city, and the children feel lively, running around and playing around.

Many Jinyiwei in the city are still on duty to prevent accidents from happening.

The people in the city are very relieved, there is no need to worry about some human traffickers, in fact, Jin Yiwei is extremely strict in the management of Xing Seoul City, and some guys with dirty hands and feet cannot stay here at all.

At the request of his two daughters, Lu Chensheng wore Confucian shirts today and led the two girls out to play.

Gu Zhifang followed behind with a helpless expression on his face. Although Shouyue was also waiting, he couldn't just rest assured that if something happened to him, he couldn't bear it.

There were quite a few Jinyi guards on the side, wearing plain clothes, their faces were full of nervousness, and they were naturally afraid that something might happen to the Holy Majesty.

Seeing that the Holy Majesty bought a bunch of candied haws and handed them to the princess, Gu Zhifang's cheeks twitched, and he decided not to look at it.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible for the princess to eat outside things like this, and the holy majesty in front of him didn't care about it at all.

Shouyue watched from the side, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's normal for children to like candied haws.

"I don't know when the people in other places will be as rich as Xinghan."

Lu Chensheng glanced over here, and all the people were wearing extremely luxurious clothes with fluttering wide sleeves.

Along the way, you can also see many scholars, each with a hint of arrogance on their faces.

Perhaps it was this country that gave them some confidence and made them all raise their heads at this time.

The people in Xinghan City are all very wealthy, there is no doubt about it.

But every time I come out, I can feel that the people here seem to be more prosperous again.

But the people in other places are not so good.

Wearing straw sandals, my feet are still freezing in winter, and the frostbite on my feet is one after another.

Thinking of the contents of the memorial, Lu Chensheng couldn't help but secretly sighed while looking at the people here.

"When there are more workshops, the common people will soon become rich."

Shouyue didn't know what Lu Chensheng was thinking, so when he heard the words, he opened his mouth to respond.

Lu Chensheng didn't answer when he heard the words, thinking about when he could go out and go to various places for inspection.

Gu Zhifang just didn't know what Lu Chensheng was thinking, if he knew, he might try to dissuade him again.

Anyway, the Holy Majesty should sit in the palace properly, how can he leave the palace easily?

Lu Chensheng took his daughter and walked forward. Along the way, he could see many performers, and he could hear the sound of singing in the distance.

There are countless painting boats on the river, or some scholars are sitting on the boats, and they can go on a cruise while drinking wine.

"Holy"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the restaurant on the side, and a pair of eyes looked at Lu Chensheng closely, and then choked back after exclaiming in surprise.

The person at the same table didn't hear clearly, but turned around suspiciously.

"what happened?"

"I saw an acquaintance, everyone later."

Du Rufang waved his hands to the crowd, and then went downstairs immediately.

After a while, he came to Lu Chensheng, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Seeing someone approaching, the people of Jin Yiwei wanted to stop it, but after seeing the person clearly, they didn't make any unnecessary moves.

"My lord, why did you come out?"

Du Rufang organized his words, then smiled wryly.

It is also not good to call the Holy Majesty directly on the street, you can only address him as an adult.

"Qianhuai, isn't this taking them out to relax?"

Du Rufang's words were modest, and Lu Chensheng also directly called out the other's words at this moment.

Du Rufang smiled wryly, and came to this city to relax. The crowd is so dense, it is easy to cause accidents!

It's also fortunate that those censors didn't know about it. If they knew about it, it would be fine.

"Who is Qianhuai?"

At this time, the friends who were at the same table with Du Rufang also walked down together, and when they saw Lu Chensheng in front of them, they bowed and said in doubt.

When Du Rufang heard the words, he didn't know how to introduce him for a while.

Lu Chensheng took the words and said directly, "Oh, Brother Qianhuai and I are friends, we met a long time ago."

"I see."

When the visitor heard the words, he suddenly realized what he said.

"Since we are friends, why don't we go up and have a drink together. This restaurant is next to the river bank, and the scenery is really good. You can also see the snow-capped mountains on the city wall in the distance.

The visitor was quite enthusiastic, and when he saw Lu Chensheng dressed as a scholar, he regarded him as a fellow.

Lu Chensheng hesitated for a moment, he also wanted to take his two daughters to play together, so go to the restaurant.

"Father, my daughter is a little tired, why don't you go up and sit down."

Lu Chensheng hadn't spoken yet, but Yueyue did.

Lu Chensheng heard the words and saw that Nianyi was sweating a lot on his forehead at this time, so he nodded.

"So, I'll bother you."

Lu Chensheng cupped his hands and said.

"Where is the matter, it is my honor that your Excellency is willing to show your face."

The visitor spoke very beautifully. Although he had never met Lu Chensheng before, he only felt that his face was strange, but it did not prevent him from being quite respectful.

One must know, where can the people known by Du Rufang go?

What's more, just now seeing Du Rufang running down in person, he can be sure that the person who came is quite extraordinary.

Such a person, of course, should be friends.

When the other party thought about it, he was naturally extra polite to Lu Chensheng.

A group of people followed and walked directly to the attic.

Erqing came to the table by the window.

"Xiao Er, come and remove all the things on this table, and put another one on."

The table was a bit messy, Du Rufang hurriedly called the waiter, cleaned it up and served some side dishes again.
