The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1057 Demoted Officials
"Ru Li, I remember that you should have been promoted in Beijing. Didn't you say you were going to be promoted in an exceptional way? Why did you become a county magistrate here?"

Zhao Xu and Yang Li sat down in the back hall without taking a sip of tea, so they asked directly. He was eager to know why the person he had arranged was not reused.

The person who was busy serving tea and water to Zhao Xu also stopped, and said with a very ugly expression:

"At first, I got a letter from the Ministry of Officials asking me to go to Bianjing to report on my work, saying that I was promoted by leapfrogging. I was still wondering, so it was your idea."

Yang Li finally understood why he was transferred to the capital. He was originally just a small county magistrate in Yongcheng County, how could he enter Beijing, and he was specially approved to enter Beijing.

Now that Zhao Xu said he knew, it turned out to be like this, it was ordered by the crown prince, no wonder the officials of the official department were very polite to him!
"It's me. I think Ruli's talent is enough to become the pillar of a country, and you should be placed in a higher position, so I mentioned it to the officials."

Zhao Xu thought Yang Li was a good guy when he was still an examinee, and in the end he really became the champion.

Later, when he met him in Yongcheng County and broke the rudder of the temple, Yang Li was credited, and Zhao Xu was very interested in what kind of temperament he manifested.

So Zhao Xu felt that he was too wronged in a county and should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so Zhao Xu dragged him to Bianjing.

But at this time, Zhao Xu had something to do and went to Houshu, which caused a delay. Zhao Xu thought what to do, Yang Li should be doing well in Bianjing.

But I didn't expect that he was still a county magistrate, and this county magistrate was lower than ordinary county magistrates.

Although this is the same in the official position sequence of the Song Dynasty, it is obviously not taken seriously here.

What the hell is going on here? Is there something else that can't happen? Who dares not to give himself face.

"Your Highness, you don't know something. At that time, a person came to me and said that he wanted me to be obedient and enjoy the glory and wealth in the future. You also know my temper, so naturally you would not agree. Only in the end did I know that person was King Zhao. "

Yang Li has a stubborn temper, and he always does things according to his upright personality, and he can't get used to those who break the law and discipline.

You said you want him to be obedient, why does this sound so awkward, can he agree?

"In the end, I was appointed as the official of the sixth rank, and I was also very satisfied. Since then, King Zhao has also sent several people to look for me, but I have rejected them all."

You shouldn't use this trick to recruit Yang Li. Zhao Xu knew Yang Li's character, so he wanted to know that Yang Li would not follow Zhao Tingmei.

"Later, I heard that King Zhao was very angry, but he didn't act. Later, when King Zhao was treating guests, I was also invited. That time I was drunk and accidentally broke into Princess Zhao's room. The king has come here."

Although Yang Li was sighing, Zhao Xu could hear the grievance in his tone. It was definitely not that simple.

"No, when I saw you drinking with His Highness before, you had a good capacity for alcohol. Besides, on any occasion, you can't get drunk. What's the matter?"

Hou Hou also met Yang Li. At that time, Yang Li was drinking with Zhao Xu, and he was drinking well.

Besides, the people Zhao Tingmei invited were all high-ranking officials. It is impossible for Yang Li to be ignorant of the seriousness. Can he still get drunk?

But he can get drunk, which is not surprising, what is even more strange is that he actually ran to the princess's room.

Is it so easy to get into the princess's room? Isn't this nonsense?

"Your Highness, Madam, listen to me. I just drank a cup of tea and became dazed. For some reason, when I woke up, I was in the Princess' room, and there were many people present."

Yang Li shook his head helplessly. Is this obviously a trap? It's aimed at him.

Madam refers to Houhou, who was conferred the title of Mrs. Chu, except for Gao Guiying, who was the crown princess, and the others were conferred as Madam.

At that time, someone suggested that this person be killed immediately. If he was so unruly, even if the trouble came to the emperor, he would have nothing to say.

It is a capital offense to dare to continue drunk and "assault" into the princess's room, and the emperor would not say anything else.

Of course, some people also said that maybe he was drunk and confused, and was demoted here in the end.

"Is this obviously aimed at you? Do you know why King Zhao did this? Doesn't the emperor ask questions after drinking?"

Hou Hou was not a stupid person, so he immediately understood that this was not an obvious trick for Yang Li.

"I don't know about this, maybe it's because I didn't agree to follow King Zhao."

"By the way, I heard that the emperor said that it was caused by drunken madness, and His Majesty also asked me to come here. Otherwise, I will lose my life as an official."

"By the way, I found a strange problem, that is, many officials made mistakes and were demoted out of Beijing. These people are all people who came to Beijing to report their work. Many of them are in the same situation as me. They didn't come to Beijing much. He was kicked out of the capital for a long time, this is the most suspicious place."

Yang Li went on to say something like this, which made Zhao Xu vigilant. What was going on, and why did this happen?

Is this just a coincidence? Zhao Xu can't believe it. Is this a trap?

"Are these all related to King Zhao, are they people who are unwilling to submit to King Zhao?"

Zhao Xu asked abruptly.

"Are you worried that these things are caused by King Zhao?" Houhou saw Zhao Xu's intentions and wondered if this matter had something to do with Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu didn't answer, but just nodded and agreed, even if it was Zhao Tingmei who made the arrangements.

"I don't know about this point, but there must be other things in it, but I don't know about it."

Zhao Xu pondered. He had been away from Bianjing for so long, and Zhao Xu couldn't understand why such a thing happened.

Other people didn't tell these things, and Liu Qinhu didn't report them to himself.

It's not that one official was demoted, it's a lot of officials, didn't they pay attention, or they thought it was normal and didn't think about their report.

"Are these officials all officials who passed the imperial examination? Do you know their identities?"

Zhao Xu wanted to know the identities of these officials, whether they were officials from the imperial examinations!
"As far as I know, there are Song Zhun, Song, Xu Shilian and Xu Shilian who have been demoted instead of being promoted."

These people were all selected by the imperial examination, why did they change in an instant, Zhao Xu sensed a hint of conspiracy, who, if it was Zhao Tingmei, why did he do this.

It seems that I can only go back and investigate carefully to see what is tricky in it.

Who is playing tricks?
