In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Seeing Gu Li's solemn expression, Hong Zhenqiu knelt down and begged for mercy, "I deserve death for my crimes! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Gu Li sighed: "Since you know that you are guilty, then reflect on where the crime is, how to avoid such omissions next time, write a self-examination report and give it to me. Step back."

It was the first time Hong Zhenqiu heard about the self-examination report, and he left in a trance without knowing what it meant.

At this time, Kang Qizong also came to ask for an interview, and reported to Gu Lihui: "Your Majesty, this afternoon, the Shuntian Mansion Office received a report from the people in the capital, and found Luo Guangwen's body in the cat's ear alley north of Xixin Division's West Factory."

Gu Li groaned, thinking that this was the speed, and he thought that the neighbors would not find out until Luo Guangwen's body stinks.

Kang Qizong looked puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Guangwen died in Xiaochang Fang Congjian's house. The person who lives next door claimed to smell a strange smell. When he went in, he found that Luo Guangwen had been dead for a few days. But I asked Wu Zuo to do an autopsy, and when Luo Guangwen died, the little singer Fang Congjian should have been arrested and imprisoned, this person was not killed by Fang Congjian."

Gu Lixin said that Kang Qizong would never have thought that it was Chen Feng who killed him. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that there were such blunders in the world.

Gu Li said: "Bury Luo Guangwen, you continue to investigate."

Kang Qizong had no choice but to bow and say, "I obey my orders."

Kang Qizong said again: "Your Majesty, Fang Congjian is still in prison. Prime Minister Mu invited a doctor to treat him. He has woken up this afternoon."

Gu Li snorted and nodded.

Kang Qizong asked: "I don't know how Your Majesty thinks how to deal with this person?"

Gu Li asked, "What do you think?"

Kang Qizong didn't know how to answer.

Gu Li asked: "The evidence you have collected so far is nothing more than other people's dictation, and the fact that this little singer has a pigeon in his home is not conclusive evidence."

Although Gu Li had speculated that Fang Congjian was a spy of the rebel army, from Kang Qizong's point of view, the testimony and evidence he had collected so far were not certain.Who said that ordinary little singers can't raise pigeons at home, and who said that as a little singer, you can't go alone?

Kang Qizong nodded with a dry smile.

Gu Li said: "Don't care if he is really a spy, just let him go. If he is a spy, since I have ordered the forgiveness of the tens of thousands of remnants of the rebel army, why not spare his life. If it is not a spy, He asked you to arrest him and serve him under torture, it’s already bad luck.”

Although Gu Li had deduced that Fang Congjian was a spy, he had hard bones, clenched his teeth and refused to speak, it was useless to stay in prison, he is also a poor man, it is better to let him go.

Kang Qizong took the order, and said: "The humble official has ordered people to search for the traitor Chen Feng in the capital, and there must be results in a few days."

Gu Li: "...how do you know that Chen Fenghui is in the capital?"

Kang Qizong said happily: "Your Majesty, this was brought up by Jiang Xunquan in the office of the humble government. He said that the leader Zhang Ci'er was arrested, and the rebels must come to rescue him. This Chen Feng is a military advisor in the rebel army, and he is resourceful. It’s not as useful as him coming in person. Although Hong Shangshu told the humble official just now that Zhang Ci’er was killed in prison, this Chen Feng must not have left so soon!”

Gu Lixin said that although this conjecture is completely different, it can be regarded as the same goal by different routes.Although Chen Feng didn't come to save Zhang Ci'er, but to kill Zhang Ci'er, but he did come to the capital.

Gu Li nodded and praised: "It makes sense."

Kang Qizong became more and more joyful, and said: "This patrolling Jiang is the capable official whom His Majesty praised."

Gu Liyan said insincerely: "Oh, it's him, not bad. However, I think it's better to forget it. Since I have pardoned even the remnants of the rebel army, why bother to embarrass this Chen Feng?"

Kang Qizong said righteously: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. This Chen Feng is extremely cunning and wise. The [-] remnants of the rebel army combined can't withstand his harm! If he really appreciates the emperor's kindness, it's okay to turn around from now on. I am afraid that he will be stranded in the capital, looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters."

Gu Li was speechless for a moment, but felt that what Kang Qizong said was quite right.He is the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and he is in charge of the people's livelihood and safety in the whole of Beizhili. It is indeed his duty to eliminate such dangerous factors as Chen Feng.

It's just how did Yin Fu Yin become so dedicated to his job now?Gu Li couldn't laugh or cry.

Kang Qizong also said: "Your Majesty is kind and tolerant, and the officials understand that after Chen Feng is caught, if he has the intention of repenting, he will be sent back to his hometown. If he has no intention of repenting, he will be put in prison and under strict supervision. In short, don’t take his life.”

Gu Li could only nod his head and said, "It's still Kang Fu Yin who is thoughtful."

Kang Qizong was proud of his success in sharing His Majesty's worries, and left happily.

Gu Li sighed in his heart, alas, Chen Feng, Chen Feng, you are resourceful, I just hope you don't get caught.Even if you want to be caught, wait until I pry the treasure out of your mouth!

Gu Li dealt with the memorial for a while, then went to bed early to rest.At two o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the eunuch, and it was time to wash and change his clothes and go to court.

Gu Li didn't wake up at all, and the injury on his arm still hurt a little.Gu Youzhen was wrapped around him, with a calf pressed against his chest.Gu Li yawned, carefully put his son's chubby legs aside, stood up and asked someone to change his medicine, then changed his clothes, washed properly, and prepared to go to court.

The courtiers had been waiting in the court room until the eunuch issued an order, and then they walked through the Chengtian Gate, Duanmen Gate, and Meridian Gate, and went straight to the Huangji Hall.

Gu Li was sitting on the throne, dozing off badly. These ministers are quite energetic, but I don't know how they did it?

Gu Li coughed, and as usual gave the seat to Prime Minister Mu first.

Then came the announcement of the results of Wang Zheng's case.Mu Chengying should have communicated with the courtiers in advance, and the ministers had no objections, so Gu Li then ordered someone to read out the crimes of Wang Zheng's party members.

Xia Xingcheng was the first to bear the brunt. The few minutes of the reading was probably the most difficult time in his life. The figure of His Majesty looked a little stooped.After the eunuch finished reading, Gu Li asked, "Xia Yushi, do you have anything else to say?"

Xia Xingcheng kowtowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for not killing me!"

The imperial guards escorted Xia Xingcheng down, and then came the next one.

Wang Zheng's henchmen who committed serious crimes were escorted out of the Huangji Hall one by one, and some of the remaining courtiers stood still, some were ready to move, and some were restless.

After the eunuch finished reading, Gu Li took out another roster and showed it to all the ministers: "Do you think that the number of Wang Zheng's party members is not so small? I still have a roster here. I was detained and dismissed just now." Those who go to serve are those who have committed serious crimes, and those who have committed minor crimes and have never harmed the people or harmed Zhongliang will be collected in this catalog. Come on!"

The little eunuchs brought a charcoal fire basin and put it in front of Gu Li.

Gu Li threw the roster into the charcoal brazier. Seeing this, the officials were all agitated, whispering to each other.

Gu Li said loudly: "Who is on this roster, he knows in his own heart. I think you all attached to Wang Zheng just to survive in the political cracks. You have never made a big mistake, and you have never harmed Zhongliang, fish and meat people. This time, I will redeem the crime with silver to see the effect. Listen carefully, what I want is a capable official who can do practical things for the people of the world and seek the well-being of the people, not a hypocrite who forms a party for selfishness and fights against dissidents! The eunuch case ends here It's over, from today onwards, I hope everyone can be self-denying, honest and self-disciplined, and truly be loyal, clean, and responsible!"

As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that he really wrote too many arguments, and as he was talking, his focus shifted.It seems that if it can be worn back, there is hope for the public examination to go ashore.

The courtiers had their own concerns and kowtowed their heads to thank each other.

After the court was over, the sun in the east had just risen, and Gu Lixin said that being the emperor was too bad, what would happen if the court meeting time was moved back?Isn't it annoying to have a meeting in the middle of the night!

He strode back to the Qianqing Palace. Gu Youzhen just got up, and was whispering to the servant at the side: "Go and get some delicious food! Father won't find out!"

Gu Li coughed and walked in. Gu Youzhen was startled, and dared not move like a quail.

Gu Li picked him up and scratched his little nose: "I'm thinking about delicious food before I wake up, so be careful to grow into a little fat man!"

Gu Youzhen hugged Gu Li's neck and acted like a baby: "Father, my son wants to eat tamarind cake today!"

"Eat breakfast and then have snacks." Gu Li asked him to dress him, wash him, and the father and son had breakfast together.Gu Youzhen had already given up her dream of eating only the yolk and not the white, and made a wish that after breakfast, she would be satisfied with a stack of tamarind cakes.

After breakfast, Guo Xuan arrived on time and picked up Gu Youzhen.

What happened early in the morning spread throughout the capital early in the morning.

Chen Feng sat on the teahouse, looking at the Chongwenmenli Street downstairs.There are Wensi Academy, Baoyuan Bureau, and Gongyuan are not far away, so many officials bought properties here, which is like a small political circle next to the imperial city.Today, those officials who suffered from Waterloo in this morning's political earthquake are all mourned, lost their family wealth, demoted to common people, and struggled for half their lives. Life is already an extrajudicial favor from the emperor.

The officers and soldiers took away the stolen property one by one and transported it to the Taicang treasury. Even the female family members of the family were humiliated by body searches. But he greeted the women's relatives directly under their dresses. Who can bear this kind of humiliation?

Xia Xingcheng became angry from embarrassment, and scolded: "Despicable and shameless! You bully people too much!"

An officer and soldier turned his head, looked at Xia Xingcheng with a smile, and said, "Hey, do you still think you are the Zuodu Censor of the Inspectorate? Now you are demoted to a commoner, but you are just a bereaved dog. Wang Zheng can't protect himself, but There is no way to support you!"

The person who was stopped and body-searched was a young female family member. After hearing these words, humiliation and sadness welled up in her heart. For a moment, her heart was ashamed. She pushed away the two officers and soldiers, went straight to the well, and said loudly: "Instead of being humiliated by you, Kou Mother would rather die!"
