Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Zhao Yiyi suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretending to be casual and said: "Hey, why is there a child?"

He pointed to Di Qing and asked Lu Yijian: "Lu Qing, why is there such a young prisoner in the Kaifeng mansion dungeon? What crime did he commit to be locked up here?"

Of course Lu Yijian didn't know about such a trivial matter, but bluntly saying that he didn't know seemed incompetent as the prefect of Kaifeng, so he could only reply: "Go back to the official's house, people in this world are dangerous, and the officials should not look at him as young and feel pity. You must know that he has a dark heart. Even though the young man is young, he can still do the evil deeds of killing his father and mother."

Zhao Yiyi looked at Lu Yijian's moral value of less than [-], and thought to himself, you are an anti-human bastard, and you have the face to say that others are black-hearted, and their moral value is more than five times that of yours.

Sooner or later, I will have to find a reason to get you down.

He looked at Di Qing again, and said with a smile: "I don't think he is such a heinous person."

"That kid, raise your head up and tell me why you went to jail. If there is any grievance, I will make the decision for you."

Di Qing raised his head and shook his head: "Back to the official's house, the grassroots have no grievances."

He already knew that this man was the emperor, who came to make decisions for the wronged.

But he didn't feel wronged, so he didn't have to say it.

He had inquired in the prison that prisoners like him who came in fighting with others, because of their strength and blood, would mostly be tattooed on their faces and then sent to the army.

He is now in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. If he is tattooed, he will probably enter the Forbidden Army directly.

The Forbidden Army has rice grain, which can be guaranteed in drought and flood, and is permanently stationed in the capital. For a person of his background, it is an excellent way out.

Anyway, he doesn't care whether his face is tattooed or not, and he doesn't care whether his descendants can only be military forever.

Moreover, although he is young, he has a lot of strength. Hearing that the Khitan invaded, he also has the ambition to join the army and serve the country.

It's just that he was arrested and imprisoned before he joined the army...

Zhao Yiyi smiled and said: "I asked why you were imprisoned, but you only told me that you had no grievances. This is not the answer to the question. As for whether you were wronged, after listening to your statement, I will naturally judge."

Di Qing opened his mouth and was about to answer when Lu Yijian said from the side: "Back to the official's house, this son was arrested in a fight with others. According to the law, he should be tattooed and exiled to the army. He was originally from Xihe, and now it happens that the imperial army is recruiting people, so the governor of Xihe sent him away. Escorted to Beijing, waiting to enter the imperial army."

Zhao Yiyi looked up at Lu Yijian, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Lu Qing knew why he was imprisoned, so why didn't you answer when I asked you just now?"

Lu Yijian was stunned: "This..."

Of course it was because he only found out about it by peeking at the case files while the little emperor was talking to the boy!

He is the governor of Kaifeng, why should a child be imprisoned, should he personally ask?

Zhao Yiyi said: "Since Lu Qing is very clear about my questions, she avoids answering them and chooses some big words to teach me a lesson. Why, does Lu Qing think that I am your junior, so I came here to teach you a lesson? I can't do it?"

Lu Yijian was shocked, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not, Your Majesty! I just think that your majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and may have never seen such a person, so I explain a thing or two to your majesty. I dare not show any disrespectful meaning." O Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yiyi sneered: "Although I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, I have been taught by the Queen Mother and Kou Xianggong. Although this person is imprisoned, he is also my subject. When I meet my subjects, I want you to guide them? Then how should I be the emperor, do I want you to guide me?"

Lu Yijian was sweating profusely and kowtowed repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not!"

But in my heart I hated this little emperor who made a lot of trouble for nothing.

Zhao Yiyi said: "I don't think Lu Qing is very used to the smell of this place. If you don't want to stay here, you can go up first."

How dare Lu Yijian leave the emperor here and go up on his own, so he had to step aside.

Zhao Yiyi sulked at Lu Yijian for a while, then turned his head and said to Di Qing: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, just tell your case one by one. Don't worry, no matter what, I won't blame you."

Di Qing secretly glanced at Zhao Yiyi, then lowered his head again.

Before he was in prison, he heard that the first emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne.

The crown prince is two years younger than him, and he is less than fourteen years old this year. He looks small, but he has his own majesty. Even the governor is afraid of him.

He whispered: "I'm from Xihe. My elder brother got into a fight with someone and injured someone. The family reported to the official and wanted to arrest him. My elder brother asked me to become an official for him."

Zhao Yiyi frowned: "Absurd! Your brother committed a crime by himself, how could you be allowed to replace him! Your officials just let themselves go like this?"

Di Qing said: "My parents are old, I am not yet an adult, and I depend on my elder brother to take care of me. If my elder brother goes to prison, my parents will have no one to support me. The officer is a good official. He allowed me to take the blame for my elder brother, leaving a way for the old parents to survive."

Zhao Yiyi took a deep breath and said with a sneer, "This is a good official who works diligently and loves the people."

Let's see, in the Song court, this kind of official can be regarded as a good official.

Enduring the boredom in his chest, he analyzed to Di Qing bit by bit: "Then, have you ever thought that your brother must be reckless and violent if he can fight with others and cause a lawsuit. Even if he is let go this time, Let you take the blame, your old parents seem to have someone to rely on. But the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Sooner or later, your brother will commit another crime. Could it be that your family has a younger brother to take the blame for him? In the end, your parents still have no one Support. Even if your official is a good man, and your brother will not pursue him no matter what he commits, how can a person like him be able to support his parents with peace of mind?"

Di Qing was silent.

Zhao Yiyi sighed again: "If your official really wants to be a good person, he should put your brother in prison, and give you some money so that you can stand on your own and take care of your parents. You took the blame for your brother, but you didn't see a trace of it." Resentment shows benevolence and filial piety. Clear eyes show perseverance. After two or three years, you grow up, marry a wife and have children. At that time, your parents will be able to rely on you. Your official is just lazy and lazy Lazy, dead body vegetarian, but also want to win a good reputation of being lenient, with a swipe of a pen, let you take the blame for your brother. He looks like a good man, but he is actually a cancer."

Seeing that Di Qing was about to be said to be autistic, Zhao Yiyi asked him: "The matter has come to this, what are your plans? It is impossible for me to convict and sentence an innocent person as a criminal."

Di Qing gritted his teeth and kowtowed to the ground: "Di Qing is willing to join the army and serve the country!"

He figured it out, even if he didn't take the blame for his brother, he would still be willing to join the army to defend his family and the country.

Somehow, he felt that he was born to be in the army.

The barracks is his real home.

Zhao Yiyi asked: "What about your parents? What should we do?"

Di Qing thought for a long time, and said: "Although my brother is reckless and violent, he still has a sense of filial piety and will not treat his parents harshly. After I become famous, it will not be too late to bring my parents by my side to fulfill my filial piety."

Zhao Yiyi was taken aback for a moment, and laughed loudly: "What a big tone! I have 80 imperial troops in the court, and more than two million Xiang troops. You are just a child who is not as weak as the crown. "

After laughing, he said: "But you have such a heart, it is commendable. Our Great Song Dynasty needs a passionate man like you to defend it. I will give you a favor today. You wait here, and I will deal with it." After finishing the prisoners, I will take you to a place."

Di Qing looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Yiyi waved at him: "Quickly step aside, don't delay my serious business."

With the help of Golden Finger, the work of prisoner registration went smoothly.After more than an hour, Zhao Yiyi decided on the treatment methods for more than 600 prisoners.

Most of the people upheld the original sentence, and a small number of people had a hundred sticks. Only a few people could be released on the spot because their moral value was high enough.

The execution scene was too bloody, and Zhao Yiyi was not interested in watching it, so he took Liu En and Di Qing out of the dungeon.

Lu Yijian followed behind them silently.

Zhao Yiyi looked at him from the corner of his eye, feeling tangled in his heart again.

He really didn't want Lu Yijian to be an official anymore.

Although Lu Yijian, who is going through the history, has not done anything particularly harmful to the country and the people, but now he is in the history of the magic revision, and the stars of Wuqu have all descended to earth, so what else is impossible.

The only thing he believes in now is his golden finger.Goldfinger said that Lu Yijian's morality was less than twenty, so he was not at ease letting Lu Yijian dangle in front of his eyes every day.

It should be noted that although Lu Yijian is only the right to know the Kaifeng mansion, this is only one of his responsibilities. He also has the position of counselor of political affairs.

Zhao Yiyi is really worried that such an important position will be held by a person who is likely to have anti-human tendencies.

Don't look at Kou Zhun and Liu E's troubles now, but their moral values ​​are not low, they are all above [-].

It may be a little lower than ordinary people, and if it is placed among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it will stand out from the crowd and have a conscience.

In the face of big right and wrong, there is still some principle.

At least they will not cede the Sixteen States of Yanyun to foreigners, nor will they open Shanhaiguan to welcome foreign invasions.

That's why Zhao Yiyi can safely let them engage in party struggles.If it were someone like Lu Yijian, Zhao Yiyi would be afraid that one day he would pack him up and send him to the Liao Kingdom to change the throne, if nothing else.

But if Lu Yijian is dealt with, who will take his current position?

Shen Zhizhengshi, Kaifeng Governor, are not petty officials.

A famous and capable person must come to hold the place.

But Zhao Yiyi did not dare to give this position to Kou Zhun or Liu E's people. Once any of them took over this position, it would break the balance between the two parties that he had been working so hard for.

If you find someone who is neither Kou Dang nor Liu Dang...

Zhao Yiyi thought of Fan Zhongyan almost instantly.

But Fan Zhongyan is now in charge of the imperial examinations, and next year he has to go to Jiangnan to be in charge of the reform of the tea administration. Where can he make a move to be the governor of Kaifeng?

If Fan Zhongyan was to be the governor of Kaifeng, he had to find someone else to be in charge of the reform of the tea administration.

The interests involved in the reform of the tea policy are too great. Only a person who is as clear as water, as clean as a mirror, as cold as ice, and as sharp as a sword can take on this important task.

Where can I find such a person at this juncture.

So Zhao Yiyi had no choice but to smile at Lu Yijian: "I'm talking too much today, don't blame Lu Qing."

Lu Yijian knew that this was the step handed over by Zhao Yiyi, so he hurriedly descended the donkey, not daring to dare, and the monarch and his ministers were in harmony for a while, and they were happy.

After coming out of Kaifeng mansion, Zhao Yiyi let Di Qing get on his chariot.

The chariot turned seven times and eight times, and stopped in front of a gate with carved beams and painted buildings.

Zhao Yiyi looked at the three big characters "Nanqing Palace" on the plaque on the gate, turned his head to Di Qing and said with a smile, "Since your surname is Di, do you want to be my cousin?"
