Chapter 577: Talented Girl Zheng Liwan

"Does Zheng Renji know that Zheng Liwan has arrived in the capital?" Lu Zhaoci raised his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked again. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know. My son asked me." Lu Ke replied without thinking, with a hint of admiration on his face. A weak woman, for her father, risked her own life and went from the Eastern Capital to the Capital.

It was only a day's journey, but his heart was admirable. Lu Ke was a chivalrous king, so he naturally admired this kind of person. There was also a lot of praise in his words.

"This girl is quite good." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "It's just that Zheng Renji is in Dongdu. Does he really not know about Zhao Shida? I don't believe it. I asked him to go to Jiangdu in the first place.

Just to protect him, I was also belittling him so that he could tell what he knew. I didn't expect that this person didn't say anything, not even a single explanation, which really disappointed me."

"Father, do you mean that Zheng Renji was also involved in this matter?" Lu Ke's expression changed. If this is true, he, Lu Ke, did something wrong this time and actually brought the prisoner's daughter into his possession.

In her mansion, her own father came to see her.

"It's hard to say." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "There is something fishy about this matter. Zheng Renji may know it, or maybe he has some difficulty and would rather risk being demoted than speak out.

I'm afraid even Zheng Liwan doesn't know this. If Zheng Liwan can send the list to Chang'an at this moment, we can understand this. I would like to see who has become corrupt. The salary paid by the court is not enough, and they still want to embezzle those who

When Lu Zhaoci said it to the end, his voice and look were fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Lu Zhaoci was a person who hated corruption and bribery by officials. Especially after presiding over a dynasty, he hoped that his ministers would be honest, even though he knew that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no fish.

Lu Zhaoci just turned a blind eye to some minor corruption, but the construction of Dongdu was such a major event. Lu Zhaoci implemented paid labor, which was originally a measure to benefit the people.

It was used to alleviate class conflicts and absorb the lessons of the demise of the former Sui Dynasty. However, millions of money has now been embezzled, and no one in the court knows about it. This makes Lu Zhaoci very angry and disappointed. He himself

There are also some extremely corrupt officials among them.

"Maybe Zheng Renji won't!" Lu Ke's face was gloomy, and he didn't even believe what he said. Zheng Renji was staying in Dongdu, and there was nothing he didn't know about everything in Dongdu. What's more, this matter is also a big deal, Zhao Shida

No matter how much he deceives others, no matter how much he tries to evade Zheng Renji, Zheng Renji will not get any information at all. The matter itself is so weird that it leaves people speechless.

"Let's go! I'll find out when I see Zheng Liwan." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand, with a trace of anger about to break out between his eyebrows. He knew that this was a major case that was about to break out.

"When I pacified the world and replaced the Li family, there were dangers all around. I thought that the enemies of the Tang Dynasty would be the Turks in the north, so I destroyed the Turks. After destroying the Turks, Goguryeo was ready to move there again, so I

After destroying Goguryeo, and then the Tubo people, I am about to start a decisive battle with the Tubo people, and something like this actually happened in the court. Ke'er, do you know what this means?" Lu Zhaoci seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to

He was asking about Lu Ke.

Lu Ke's face turned red when he heard this, and he looked embarrassed, and said in a calm voice: "My son, I don't know." He is capable of marching and fighting, but if he is a political attainment, he is far behind other princes. It is natural that this is not the case.

After understanding what Lu Zhaoci said, he naturally couldn't say it.

"Ke'er, you can march and fight. Do you know where the city is most easily captured?" Lu Zhaoci asked with a smile.

"Father once said that a city is most easily breached from within." Lu Ke's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

"You are right, no matter how strong a city is, it is most easily broken from within." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "Throughout the many dynasties in history, these dynasties were rarely destroyed by foreign enemies.

Most of them were defeated by the people from within. I don’t know how many years my empire can last, but I understand one thing. Most of my empires are destroyed in my own hands. No founding monarch knows that his empire is actually in his own hands.

It is to be buried in the hands of his descendants and ministers. The politics of the government and the public are dim, treacherous officials are in power, and the people are in dire straits. Most of them are the beginning of the demise of a dynasty. I do not think that my country can last forever, but at least it cannot be like the former Sui Dynasty.

It collapsed in just two lifetimes. The biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is still in the court, or in itself! These corrupt officials are constantly eating at the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and they are constantly eroding the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

The foundation of the foundation." Lu Ke listened with his eyes wide open, and finally his eyes gradually calmed down. He is just a prince, not an emperor, let alone a crown prince. There are some things that he can participate in, but there are some things that he cannot participate in.

I don’t dare to participate. This is what is going on in front of me..

"Father, we're here." At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Lu Zhaoci. At this time, he really didn't know what he should say. Fortunately, this

It's time to arrive at the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

"Yes." Lu Zhaoci didn't notice anything strange about Lu Ke. His mind quickly returned to things about Luoyang. How could he have imagined what his son was thinking just now.

Because the wedding was approaching, the Prince of Shu's palace was also renovated and decorated with red and colorful decorations. However, these scenery were not in Lu Zhaoci's eyes. Under the leadership of Lu Ke, he quickly entered the palace and walked towards the backyard.

After walking for a cup of tea and passing through many pavilions and pavilions, Lu Zhaoci felt his eyes light up. A hundred acres of lotus pond covered the sky and the sun, and there were countless lotus flowers dotting the water. It was very beautiful.

, Lu Zhaoci nodded, and the depression in his heart also dissipated a lot. It is rare to see such beautiful scenery, even in the palace. It is probably common in Jiangnan!

A pavilion has been built in the middle of the lotus pond, probably for flower viewing and fishing. Looking from a distance, there is a woman in the pavilion, with a graceful figure and a light green gown. She must be Zheng Liwan. This Zheng Liwan is recorded in history books as being very beautiful.

Yes, in today's Chang'an City, she is also a famous talented and beautiful woman. Looking at her back, Lu Zhaoci nodded.

"Father, she is Zheng Liwan." Lu Ke did not notice Lu Zhaoci's strangeness, but pointed to the pavilion in the distance and said.

"Let's go!" Lu Zhaoci nodded and walked towards the pavilion first.

Zheng Liwan was kneeling in the pavilion. She had only been in Chang'an for two or three days. On the way to Chang'an, she had made all preparations. She had a roster with her, which was very important. She had just left Luoyang, and the other party might not have it yet.

He is aware of the existence of the roster, but once he enters Chang'an City, the other party must have got the news. Therefore, Chang'an City, which seems to be prosperous, is actually the most dangerous place. The palace is not that easy to enter, and there is no one who can help him.

How many times, these people were screened in her mind, and finally Lu Ke was selected. On the one hand, she knew him, but on the other hand, it was because of Lu Ke's reputation. He was a famous knight-errant in both the government and the public. What happened

At that time, he was far away fighting in Goguryeo and had nothing to do with this matter. There should be no problem in giving the list to him and he would forward it to the emperor, so he asked the monk of Baoguo Temple to lead Lu Ke to the temple to seek help.

Who knew that as soon as Lu Ke received the list, she just flipped through it briefly, then returned the list to herself, connected herself to the palace, and promised to invite the emperor to come. Let her tell the emperor herself what she knew.

All this surprised and delighted Zheng Liwan. The Lu Ke in front of her was not a simple figure. No one knew the role of the roster in his hand better than Zheng Liwan. Zhao Shida was dead, and this roster was the only proof that the officials above had

If there is no crime, it can be said that if I can get this list, I can control the life and death of hundreds of officials on it, and I can use these officials for my use. This is a very powerful force. But Lu Ke is just

After glancing at it, he threw the rosters back to himself and never looked at them again. He also promised to let himself meet the emperor in person, which shows the magnanimity in Lu Ke's heart.

"Are you Zheng Liwan, the daughter of Zheng Renji?" At this moment, a majestic voice came into his ears. There was no expression in the voice. Zheng Liwan, who was deep in thought, changed his face, and his heart changed, and he suddenly understood the relationship between this moment and Zheng Liwan.

Who was he talking to? He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly bowed down.

"Zheng Liwan pays homage to my lord, long live, long live, long live."

"Haha! Get up and talk." The voice rang again. Lu Zhaoci walked directly to the chair beside the pavilion. Lu Ke also stood aside to serve the emperor personally.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Liwan was filled with joy. She finally met the emperor and had completed the first step of the matter. The next step was to show herself how to absolve her father of his guilt.

"Your father Zheng Renji is guilty, do you know?" Lu Zhaoci glanced at the girl in front of him. Under the sunlight, her skin was white and pink, and her lips also had a charming luster. She was a troublesome person.

It is unimaginable that such a calamity-level figure would personally go to Beijing to speak for his father. It did make Lu Zhaoci feel a little fond of him. But if this is the case, and the other party controls the rhythm, then what else can he do as an emperor?

Woolen cloth?.

"I also thought that my father was guilty." To Lu Zhaoci's surprise, Zheng Liwan actually admitted that her father was guilty, instead of interceding with Zheng Renji. This surprised Lu Zhaoci and couldn't help but

The interest came.

"Sit." Lu Zhaoci pointed to the brocade stool on one side with a smile and said: "Since ancient times, when future generations evaluate their predecessors, they always say good things for their ancestors. This is especially true when a son evaluates me. You are the only one.

The little girl came to the capital and actually said such words when the emperor asked, which surprised me. If on weekdays, if I asked other people, their answers would be different from yours. Haha

!Then tell me, what sins did your father commit?"

"The first is the crime of negligence." Zheng Liwan said calmly after hearing this: "My father is staying in Dongdu. Logically speaking, everything in Dongdu should be in his hands. Your Majesty built Dongdu.

It is a major matter. My father should be very concerned about this matter and be on guard against anyone taking advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption and corrupt His Majesty’s wisdom. Now my father not only failed to stop this matter, but also did not discover it. This shows that my father has

The crime of negligence.”

"If there is one, there must be another. Just go on." Lu Zhaoci nodded and did not make any answer.

"The second is the crime of dereliction of duty and incompetence." Zheng Liwan added: "Dongdu is an important city for the imperial court and will be the future capital of the Tang Dynasty. It is so important. My father has your majesty's trust. As the eastern capital, he should stay here.

He governed the Eastern Capital seriously, but after his father arrived in the Eastern Capital, he not only failed to govern the Eastern Capital seriously, but was taken advantage of by villains, betrayed His Majesty's trust, and was even shunned by Zhao Shida. This was a sign of incompetence, so I thought

My father is guilty."

"Father, I also think that what Madam Zheng said is very true." Lu Ke, who was on the side, his eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded approvingly, and said: "It's rare that Madam Zheng understands justice so well, and she doesn't worry about Zheng Renji being her father.

Any kind of cover, based on reality, is very rare."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the King of Shu, for speaking up. I am just a little humble." Hearing this, Zheng Liwan showed a hint of gratitude on her face and nodded towards Lu Ke.

"Haha! People say that there were several talented women in the capital back then. One was my daughter, one was Mr. Cen's daughter, and the other was the daughter of Zheng Renji's family. I still didn't believe it before, but when I saw Cen

After the daughter of the husband's family, I believe it a little bit. As for you Zheng Liwan, I am just curious and don't believe the rumors in the market. But when I saw you today, you are indeed extremely smart and cunning. Huh!"

Lu Zhaoci's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Zheng Liwan coldly, and said with a sneer: "You have said so much, saying that Zheng Renji is guilty, but the only thing you haven't said is why Zheng Renji is incompetent and why he was negligent?"

Lu Ke's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes were fixed on Zheng Liwan, with a hint of anger. Zheng Liwan's pink face turned pale for a while, and she looked at Lu Zhaoci with her beautiful eyes. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and she sat there.

Not daring to move at all.

"Zheng Renji is the patriarch of the Zheng family of the Guandong family. When Zheng Shanguo and others died, Zheng Renji was designated as the patriarch of the Zheng family. This shows that Zheng Renji is not simple. He can take charge of a huge empire in Guandong as a branch.

Family, the Zheng Shanguo brothers are not idiots. If Zheng Renji had no ability at all, how could he hand over the Zheng family to him? What's more, I have governed the country for so many years, with royal guards all over the world, and constant assessments by the officials. How important is the eastern capital of Luoyang?

How could such an important place be handed over to an incompetent person? If Zheng Renji had no use or talent at all, how could he become a guard in Dongdu? How could such a person be an incompetent person sitting in Dongdu? Since he is not an incompetent person

, there will be no crime of oversight." Lu Zhaoci looked cold and sneered: "Who is Zhao Shida? He is just the son-in-law of the Zhao family. Although he is the deputy left behind, in terms of talent, how can he be compared with Zheng Renji?

If his talent exceeds that of your father, how can I let your father serve as the guard of the Eastern Capital? Therefore, it is impossible for this person to evade your father. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about the crime of dereliction of duty. You

What I said on the surface is to say that Zheng Renji is guilty, but in fact, I am just looking for excuses for your father to get him off the hook. Zheng Liwan, I wonder if I was wrong?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Zheng Liwan turned pale when she heard this. She knelt down slowly, kowtowed and said, "Although I don't know why my father behaved like this, I can conclude that my father is definitely not involved in corruption. All of this is

My father has nothing to do with it, so I ask Your Majesty to take a closer look."

"Hehe, you are very good." The sneer at the corner of Lu Zhaoci's mouth became even thicker, and he said coldly: "What crime your father committed, someone will naturally tell me in the future. You don't have to worry,

However, don't worry, if there is no serious crime, I will let Zheng Renji go because he has a daughter like you."

"I thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Liwan felt relieved after hearing this, and took out a ledger from the side, and handed it over respectfully. When Lu Ke saw this, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward and took the ledger.

, placed it in front of Lu Zhaoci.

Lu Zhaoci looked at the account book in front of him and sighed deeply. He patted the account book in front of him with his right hand, and there was a complicated look on his face. It can be imagined that once the account book in front of him was opened, Datang would

There will be a bloody storm in the dynasty, and we don't know how many people's heads will fall to the ground. We don't know how many officials will be dismissed from their posts. Lu Zhaoci didn't want to open it, but he had to open it.

"Father!" Lu Ke said cautiously on the side.

"Write another copy of this account book, and then send it to Luoyang and hand it over to Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie. They know what to do." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while, sighed deeply, and said, "Any time

At this time, corruption is unavoidable in any dynasty. I have never thought that in the world I govern, no one will be corrupt. This is also impossible. As for where you Zheng Liwan came from, or where you are going!

Ke'er, send someone to escort her back to the national temple, and then let her return to Luoyang after the case is over." Lu Zhaoci stood up, patted the account book in front of him, and then threw the account book to Lu Ke, but he

He stood up and walked out of the pavilion. His figure quickly disappeared in front of Lu Ke and Zheng Liwan.ro
