After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Not only Emperor Pingkang, except for Gao Laoshangshu and others, all the ministers showed puzzled expressions in unison.

That person is sick!

We must know that the reason why Emperor Longqing was abolished was related to the Jianghuai flood, but it has long been revealed that the Zhen family and the An family united to do it secretly. What's the matter with Emperor Longqing?If anything, Emperor Longqing was still a victim.

For a moment, Emperor Pingkang became inexplicably bored.

Although it is a little unpleasant to think that my career as an emperor ended with the injustice case of Dengwen Gu, it is even more depressing when the injustice case is not settled and becomes a joke.

When Emperor Pingkang wanted to send the complainant back, Emperor Longqing suddenly asked, "Can the complainant be punished?"

Before boarding the Wengu, one must hit [-] big boards first, and not die before he can sue. Although this matter is just a joke, but according to the rules, the person who sues is afraid...

Tu Mingwen's complexion suddenly turned ugly, no matter who did this, what is the purpose?At least he did one thing, that is, he really succeeded in disgusting him.

Even Emperor Pingkang's face darkened, it's okay to make a joke, but if the joke results in someone's life, it's another matter.

Old Shangshu Gao and his son at the side exchanged a guilty look. They really had such an idea at the beginning.

Before people were killed, all of this was just a joke. No one took it seriously. Thinking about the Zhen family's human trafficking, the Holy One would have ignored it. Even if he knelt down to his death in the Taimiao, the Holy Majesty would not necessarily pay attention to him.

Similarly, once human life is involved, even if everyone thinks it's just a joke, they still have to retry the case, and then the backup they arrange will come in handy.

only……

Gao Laoshangshu and his son looked at each other, feeling a little depressed for no reason. This is the so-called plan not keeping up with the changes. Even if they arranged countless schemes, they were no match for the fact that it was already the Longqing Dynasty, and they who offended the new emperor ...

The father and son couldn't help shrinking their necks, and secretly scolded the useless Mrs. Gao dozens of times.

You know, she is the head mistress of the Gao Mansion, if she wasn't smart enough to let those guys know that Emperor Longqing is about to ascend the throne, how could she arouse their anger, and she would sue the imperial court even if she left the Gao Mansion .

But now this stall really doesn't know how to clean it up.

Emperor Longqing and Emperor Pingkang looked at each other, and they could see some anger from the bottom of each other's eyes.

Both Emperor Longqing and Emperor Pingkang were really angry, not to mention that today is Emperor Longqing's big day, even if Emperor Pingkang is unwilling to hand over power, but he has always kept a good face. People were killed!

Thinking of this, Emperor Pingkang felt bad all over.

The little eunuch was also clever, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Yushi knows that it is not appropriate to see blood on the day of Zen, but he will imprison the foolish people who complained."

It's dangerous to say it, originally the yamen servant guarding Dengwengu wanted to take the opportunity to kill these foolish people, but today the censor hurriedly stopped it, if the blood disappeared, it would be troublesome if the emperor was displeased.

Emperor Pingkang smiled coldly, "Very good! I'd like to see who dares to provoke trouble on such a day!"

Although he is not good at intrigues and tricks, but watching his sons fight back and forth, he understands a little bit. It would be strange if there is no one behind this matter!I just didn't know that it was a good thing that idiot did.

Emperor Pingkang subconsciously glanced at the third child and the fifth child. If it is possible, they are the most likely ones, but...the third child should not be so stupid; as for the fifth child...he still can't think Come up with such a level of tricks.

"Father, this matter is..." When Emperor Longqing wanted to have the case heard, Emperor Pingkang stopped him and said, "Leave this case to me."

Emperor Longqing persuaded: "Father, it's just foolish people making trouble for no reason, why bother..."

"It's unreasonable trouble." Emperor Pingkang agreed, "But Dengwengu's rules are here. Even if this case is ridiculous, I still have to try it myself."

Here is the rule of Dengwengu, even if it is a play, it must be performed beautifully, so as not to chill the hearts of the people.

He paused and said: "Your status is inconvenient, let me handle this matter."

If those stupid sons really did good deeds, he can help cover it up, and they can't really let their brothers kill each other.

In an instant, Emperor Pingkang instantly understood the true meaning of a famous saying: children are debts!

Emperor Longqing pondered for a while, but agreed.

Although he felt disgusted, he was indeed not good, and he attacked his brothers as soon as he took the throne. It's best to let the emperor handle it.

Although it was said that it was Lu Dengwengu, there was no reason for people to watch the case. Emperor Longqing was devoted to political affairs, and he didn't have the heart to realize that joke, so Emperor Pingkang had full power to adjudicate the case.

The victims of the Jianghuai disaster are really the victims of the Jianghuai area, and they are also the victims of the Jianghuai embankment.

All in all, the small town where they lived was not too small, at least thousands of people. As a result, a flood caused more than half of the casualties. In addition, the relief money was stolen, and thousands of people starved to death. After eight buckles, there were only less than fifty victims left in the huge town.

Most of the disaster victims in Beijing also lost their families and everything in the flood. Even after ten years, they still cannot forget the tragic death of their family members. As soon as the Gao family provoked Tu Mingwen, who was helping the money, they couldn't wait to go to Beijing. They might not be able to avenge their revenge, and it would be good to make Emperor Longqing sick.

Emperor Pingkang sighed slightly, everyone who came to Dengwengu must have a reason, even if it was actually a joke in its core, that was the case.

Emperor Pingkang pondered: "The so-called crown prince's embezzlement of the relief money is nothing but fiction. The Zhen family has already admitted that this matter was done by the Zhen family back then."

The relief money was indeed swallowed, but the people who swallowed it were not the prince, but the Zhen family.

"No!" One of the old men excitedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must have something to do with the prince! The embankment didn't burst, it was destroyed by someone!"

Emperor Pingkang's face darkened, "What did you say?"

"Return to the Holy One!" The old man hurriedly said: "The embankment that burst was right next to our town. I would go to inspect it every day, just in case something happened. I remember it very clearly. The day before the embankment burst, I went there personally. Look, the embankment is fine, there is nothing wrong with it. The embankment will burst suddenly!? Besides, if the embankment bursts, it is impossible for the town to be submerged in an instant. This embankment was destroyed by someone."

Not just the old man, many people also explained to you and me that their small town is considered rich, and everyone has some spare money, so they will naturally strengthen the embankment next to the town. Speaking of which, the villages next to the county There have been dike breaks in all of them, and only the section next to their town has never broken the dike.

There have been no problems in the past few decades, but the embankment burst on that day.

The old man wept and said: "The old man was left with a broken body. I went to see it after the disaster. I have guarded the embankment for most of my life. I remember clearly what the embankment looked like. I can see that the embankment was destroyed by man. Yes!"

Destruction of dikes and corruption of money, these two things cooperate seamlessly, if there is no ghost here, he will not believe anything.

Emperor Pingkang's face darkened slightly, "Even if this happened, why didn't you report it to the local officials?"

As soon as Emperor Pingkang said this, the old man cried even harder, and the people on the side explained: "As soon as Uncle Weng found out, he asked Brother Weng to report to the police, and it turned out..."

As a result, Brother Weng was beaten to death in the yamen, and Uncle Weng almost followed him. After that, no one did this again.

Emperor Pingkang frowned slightly. Speaking of which, the flood in the Jianghuai River was out of control back then, and he was not unsuspecting, but there was a more serious case of the crown prince's greed for disaster money. The reason for the flood was also It's too late to investigate carefully, could it be... there is really a ghost behind this matter?

Just as Emperor Pingkang was thinking about it, he saw that the complaining crowd kowtowed repeatedly, and the old man even bled from his forehead, "I beg the Lord to give justice to Jianghuai's lonely soul! Please give me justice to Jianghuai's lonely soul!"

The complaining crowd kowtowed continuously, and the pounding sound was like a fist deep into Pingkangdi's heart, making it hard for him to ignore it.

Emperor Pingkang pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "Get up! If there is a grievance, I will surely avenge you!"
