The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1868 Luoyang trip

Xu Jingzong felt that what the emperor said had some other meaning, and it was such a little other meaning that made him feel a little nervous and panicked.

"Your Majesty intends to severely punish the Zheng family?" Xu Jingzong said cautiously.

"What does Xu Jingaiqing think?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty, the Zheng family stretched their hands in the bank, made empty accounts, and depleted the national treasury. Your Majesty wants to punish them, and they deserve what they deserve." Xu Jingzong said: "But I am worried that after your majesty moved the Zheng family, a series of incidents would be triggered. reaction."

"What's the reaction? Tell me." Li Chengqian picked up the teacup on the desk.

"Reactions from other families." Xu Jingzong said.

"Reactions from other families, if they have a clear conscience and have not done anything that harms the interests of the court, what will their reaction be? If there is a reaction, it means there are ghosts in their hearts. Why, could it be that I just indulged them like this?" Li Chengqian said.

"That's not true." Xu Jingzong replied: "This world belongs to His Majesty. If His Majesty gives it to them, they can take it. If His Majesty doesn't give it to them, they can't grab it. That's the reason, but they moved , they took it, if the rectification is too severe all at once, it will not be good for the court. What Mr. Yu Zhining said makes some sense. His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne for less than half a year. If there is such a big commotion, I am afraid it will shake the court."

"I know what the teacher said makes sense, but if this matter is left alone, the national treasury may lose a lot. Xu Jingzong, from now on, you go to Luoyang immediately." Li Chengqian said: "Look at Luoyang for me, the Zheng family You can't escape the guilt in Luoyang, but I am afraid that Luoyang will not be stable, so before Luoyang is stable, before I summon you back, I will wait for my will in Luoyang, except for Luoyang, maybe there will be other things place, I need you."

"Yes, the minister leads the decree." Xu Jingzong clapped his hands in response.

Xu Jingzong was a little displeased with the errand given to him by the emperor. He went to Luoyang at this juncture. Ah, won't the Zheng family set their sights on themselves?

I'm afraid His Majesty asked him to go to Luoyang for another purpose. Xu Jingzong was thinking about it.

Leaving the Xuanzheng Hall in a trance, Xu Jingzong still didn't seem to come back to his senses, he was somewhat confused about the emperor's intention.

Although he didn't understand, he knew that this trip was not a good job. If it was done well, it would offend the Zheng family. If it was not done well, he would offend all five surnames and seven sects.

Could it be that His Majesty did it on purpose, because he didn't want to get too close to the aristocratic families of the five surnames and seven sects?If this is the case, either he will be unlucky, or he will be prosperous.

As for the matter of the bank, which of the five surnames, seven sects and seven great families is clean?None of them are clean. If His Majesty wants to investigate, he must be able to pull out a bunch of them, and none of them can escape. If this is the case, how much shock will be caused in the court.

Xu Jingzong felt that although this trip seemed dangerous, it also contained opportunities. If he could return to Chang'an City safely, then he would definitely be prosperous in the future.

After the first day, it will no longer be the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, it is time for officials like them to take the lead. As for those old courtiers, old and dead, and some of them are suspected by His Majesty, how long can they stay in this court?The future official career is broad, it depends on whether you dare to venture into it.

If you don't move forward at this time, do you still have to wait for the opportunity to come to you?

Xu Jingzong obeyed Li Chengqian's words. After returning home, he immediately packed his things and drove towards Luoyang City in a carriage early the next morning. , he will not come back.

Xu Jingzong's status in Luoyang is equivalent to an imperial envoy. After all, he was sent by the emperor himself. Moreover, the seat of the county magistrate of Luoyang City is still vacant. Xu Jingzong asked for a while, and only after the new county magistrate arrived in Luoyang, Xu Jingzong could be a stable imperial envoy.

As for Xuan Shijing, after Xu Jingzong arrived in Luoyang, Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang must have left Luoyang long ago. Jing and Princess Jinyang are in Luoyang, and it is estimated that they will not hear the news until Luoyang lives in Luoyang.

By that time, Xu Jingzong knew what kind of big game His Majesty the Emperor and Duke Xuan Shijing of Qi were playing.

On the Luoyang City side, Xuan Shijing waited in the county government office for three days. Sure enough, many people in Luoyang City came to report the case, telling all about the Zheng family. The county magistrate of Luoyang City was in collusion and collusion, and the people of Luoyang City dared not speak out, but right now, the Zheng family was surrounded by officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and all members of the family were arrested. Zheng Jun and the county magistrate of Luoyang were thrown into the prison. After leaving the cell, what else did they dare not say, if this opportunity passed, they would never find another opportunity.

In the past two days, the pleading papers Xuan Shijing received in the county government office were like snowflakes outside. Every time he read them, his murderous intentions towards Zheng Jun and the Luoyang county magistrate became a little stronger.

On the third day, Zheng Jun and Luoyang county magistrate were brought to the court again.

"In the past two days, I have seen a lot of things." Xuan Shijing looked at the two people calmly: "When people are tall, ordinary people can't reach them. They feel that they can't reach you, but What about you? Standing high, you can see far away, and you can have a panoramic view of what is going on below, but now it is different, you have fallen, standing on the same horizon as them, or, compared to their situation Even more humble, so people who were originally oppressed by you can reach you, and if they can reach you, things will come to the surface."

When Xuan Shijing said this, he gestured to Chang Le, and Chang Le held a thick stack of paper from the side and put it on the desk in front of Xuan Shijing.

"These are the petitions from the people of Luoyang." Xuan Shijing said, "Look up and take a good look, how many are there?"

Kneeling in the hall, Zheng Jun and Luoyang county magistrate raised their heads and looked at the pleadings on the desk. The number of pleadings was shocking.

At this time, Xuan Shijing stood up from the chair, and took out the imperial edict that Li Chengqian gave him from his arms.

"According to the order of the emperor, thoroughly investigate the deficit of the Luoyang bank. Now that the physical evidence is complete, the verdict is pronounced!"
