The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 382 Lu Qingyu Takes the Stage

After meeting Zhao Xu this time, Miao Fengchun hurried back to his yamen, and he was not in a hurry to inspect the security under his administration.

This time, he was so frightened that he had to let his subordinates go. Under Kaifeng Fuyin, there were judges, push officials, Fuyuan, and Liucao's subordinate officials.

Here he had just returned to his mansion, and before he could take a sip of water to moisten his throat, someone said that the emperor let him enter the palace.

What did the emperor ask him for? Although he was uneasy in his heart, he still went obediently.

"My minister sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

""

"Let's get back down!" Zhao Kuangyin was alone now, holding a book in one hand, he didn't look up at Miao Fengchun at all.

One of the stories is about Zhao Kuangyin's love of reading. When he followed Zhou Shizong to Pingjianghuai, someone informed Zhou Shizong that Zhao Kuangyin used several cars to carry his personal belongings.

This high-density person also swore that the car was basically filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

As soon as Chai Rong heard that it was okay, Sejong Chai Rong sent someone to check, and at the same time he did not believe that Zhao Kuangyin would do this.

However, the result of the inspection surprised Chai Rong, because all the carts were filled with books.

After becoming the emperor, this Zhao Kuangyin loves books even more, and now he always reads books when he is free.

After Miao Fengchun got up, he just stood quietly by the side, not daring to say anything, and just looked at Zhao Kuangyin cautiously.

"Oh, I don't understand one thing. I heard that you have captured the legendary thief king Li Song. Let me see where he is."

When Miao Fengchun heard how the emperor knew, what happened this morning couldn't have reached the emperor's ears so quickly.

Besides, the crown prince did not come back, and other people could not inform the emperor about this matter. Did the emperor think about this matter again today?

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have been hurrying to investigate this matter recently, but I don't have any clues yet, but don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as there are clues, I will definitely investigate to the end."

"But why did I hear that you caught a young man today? I heard that he is the Thief King. I don't know where he is. Why didn't you tell me about it?"

Zhao Kuangyin was still staring at the book in his hand, and couldn't see whether his expression was happy or sad, but from his tone, it seemed that the emperor already knew about it.

thump!
"Your Majesty, my humble minister, my humble minister."

Miao Fengchun couldn't say anything about the humble minister, he just knelt on the ground and didn't know what to say.

"Aiqing, why is this? Hurry up and catch criminals for the court. It's a great achievement. I want to reward Aiqing."

Miao Fengchun is already sweating profusely, and the weather is already cold in late autumn, but his sweat still can't stop flowing down:
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty, and the minister is guilty!"

"What's the crime of Aiqing? I'm a little confused." Zhao Kuangyin put down the book in his hand and said tepidly.

Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to know anything. I don't know what crime you have committed. That means you have to explain it yourself.

"Your Majesty, it's because I'm too eager for quick success, it's because I wronged a good person, it's because I..."

Miao Fengchun told Zhao Kuangyin what happened yesterday without any hesitation, and did not hide anything, because he guessed that Zhao Kuangyin already knew about it.

"Hahaha, I never imagined that my governor of Kaifeng would be such a person, and he would dare to casually frame good people. This really opened my eyes. This is my Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed nervously, this smile was not simple, Lao Miao didn't dare to raise his head at all.

"Miao Fengchun, are you repaying my trust in you, are you repaying the court's trust in you?"

"Can the magistrate of the majestic city of the Son of Heaven actually do such a thing? Do you let the chiefs of the prefectures and counties all over the world follow you? This is how you set an example for them."

The official position of the prefect of Kaifeng is higher than that of other prefects because he is the capital, and he wants to set an example for other prefectures and counties.

Zhao Kuangyin was really angry, because many speech officials had already written about this issue, and many of them impeached Miao Fengchun.

However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it at the time, how could his Kaifeng governor be such a person, and suppressed many memorials.

After receiving Zhao Xu's report, he was just skeptical, so he called him over to find out. He didn't expect him to admit it honestly.

"According to what I mean, if you don't kill an official like you, it won't be enough for the common people to be angry. What do you think I should do with you?"

"Your Majesty." Miao Fengchun was a dead soul.

"At first I didn't believe it, but you honestly let go of all your sins, so your sins are a little smaller. Originally, I wanted to push you to the end. Now that you have confessed, I will give Jin For the sake of the king."

"The Bozhou government still lacks a general judge. You should be the general judge and reflect on yourself. If you let me know that you still have this virtue, you don't have to come back."

Miao Fengchun hurriedly thanked him, the emperor meant that he knew what he had done today, and it seemed that the emperor wanted to punish him.

However, because of his frankness, he demoted himself to a general judge, and his official position was demoted several levels, but he also felt lucky, but he didn't know who reported it to the emperor.

"The person here draws up a decree, appointing the former householder of Kaifeng Mansion, Cao Cao and Lu Qingyu, to be promoted to be a Bachelor of Duanming Palace, and to know Kaifeng Mansion at the same time."

After Miao Fengchun left, Zhao Kuangyin decreed to promote Lu Qingyu to be the prefect of Kaifeng. In fact, he had wanted to do this a long time ago, and this time was just an opportunity.

"Master Lu, congratulations on your promotion. This was appointed by the emperor, so I volunteered to come here to announce the decree."

Lu Qingyu's promotion was actually the imperial decree read by Zhao Pulai, which made Lu Qingyu very excited.

Lu Qingyu is a native of Youzhou, whose original name was Lu Yin, but later the taboo was changed to Lu Qingyu, happiness came too quickly.

"It's Mrs. Lao, but what I want to ask is why the emperor suddenly let me be the governor of Kaifeng, and the previous Miao Miao took office for a few months?"

While Lu Qingyu was happy, he also kept his head clear. Why did his immediate boss quit doing it so inexplicably?
"Lord Lu, you must know who Miao Fengchun is and what he has done. The emperor asked me to bring you a sentence, that is, such things are absolutely not allowed to happen."

Lu Qingyu knew what Miao Fengchun had done and how many unjust, false and wrong cases he had committed, but no one listened to him when he spoke lightly.

Now that he could finally flex his muscles, Zhao Xu, who was outside the capital, also received the news, without a few words: Miao was demoted and Lu Qingyu succeeded him.

Zhao Xu finally pushed a capable minister to the top of the Song Dynasty, and the future generation named Lu Qingyu stepped onto the stage of history at this time.
