Chapter 92
However, a small episode happened in the morning court today. When the Censor impeached Wang Yan, a memorial to Wang Yan impeach Xu Ping also appeared. It was said that when Xu Ping was in Heyin County, he did not take the people's livelihood as a matter of mistakes, arrested the local power houses with small mistakes, and captured all the local taxpayers, leaving only orphans and widows for the others. He also sought in every way, greedy for the deliciousness of Mengzhou pork, so that the Qiaodaoxiang Army brought to the countryside to force the purchase, which almost caused civil rebellion.
This memorial made Lu Yijian's heart come alive again. He had no prejudice on whether to build a canal or not, as long as it did not affect his power. The most important thing is to suppress Xu Ping's momentum and become a deputy envoy of salt and iron, and he would be about to escape from the control of the Political Affairs Hall. That would be fine if this memorial was Wang Yan. With this memorial, you could do something and send someone to Heyin County. Regardless of whether Xu Ping's fault could be found, it would be a blow to him.
When I passed the Chuigong Hall and headed towards the Grand Inner, I saw that the Tongjin Office was filled with people, all of whom were censors and young officials from the Pavilion, rushing to hand over the memorials. There were even those that were not enough to write, and they lay down on the side and wrote.
Lu Yijian shook his head secretly. These young officials are full of passion now. When they hear some movement, they rush to make a comeback. One day when luck comes, a memorial will cause a trend and become famous all over the world. However, they don’t know that being famous all over the world is sometimes a good thing, but more often it is a bad thing. Wherever they go, their boss will remember this thorn.
But think about it, wasn’t it the same when he was young, and was determined to make progress without any effort? Lu Yijian’s family background was not prominent, and his father was just a small official. At that time, the pillar of the Lu family was his uncle Lu Mengzheng. After Lu Yijian became a Jinshi, he slowly built a palace in the east and west sacrifices of Zhenzong. He was appointed as the Censor and the Censor-in-Chief and impeached the popular Ding Wei party Li Pu, withstood the pressure of ministers to try the fake Li Shun case, and later decisively dealt with the hat demon incident. This is how he came through it.
Thinking of the past, Lu Yijian couldn't help but smile. Everyone had a young and energetic time. Back then, in the dim Zhenzong Dynasty, he had worked hard without hesitation.
The back hall was sitting until noon. Today it was over early. If there was a big deal in the court, the emperor would take care of two meals and leave the palace until dark.
After stepping out of the gate of the Chuigong Hall, Lu Yijian was in a very relaxed mood. At this point, Wang Yan naturally wanted to be demoted, but Lu Yijian finally bit Xu Ping and gave him a phone call, but just demoted him to Jiangnan Road to serve as a prefect. As for Xu Ping, Lu Yijian said it well. Since Wang Yan said this, it would be impossible to convince the public if he didn't check it. If Xu Ping was really okay, what would it matter if he checked it? Heyin was still sent someone there.
Back at the Political Affairs Hall, the mistress came up with tea. Lu Yijian drank comfortably, leaned on the chair to relax, and picked up a document from the desk in front of him.
Before he could finish reading, Lu Yijian was stunned and his body rose straight from the chair.
This is the memorial that Fan Zhongyan and Song Xiang jointly sponsored Xu Ping to "seek medical treatment" for Xu Ping. It can be explained clearly that on the way to court today, he happened to meet Xu Ping's illness and fell off the horse and fainted on the ground.
Holding the official document in his hand, Lu Yijian felt his head buzzing, as if a big stone was pressing against his chest, and he couldn't breathe. He was so stupid and motionless for a while.
There are also rules in the officialdom. Officials are at odds with political affairs, but they will never involve human lives or family members, and they cannot take advantage of others' dangers. Ding Wei killed them all like this, and once he loses power, there is no possibility of resurgence.
