Daming King of Punishment

Page 737

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanlong was naturally unhappy in his heart. He didn't wait for Song Wuya to get up, and rushed to say: "Your Majesty! Mr. Song is the prefect of the capital, and he once served on behalf of Tian Xun. He should be a model for all officials. Now he has committed a crime. If such a mistake is not punished, the common people may doubt it. I feel that Lord Song should take care of this matter."

Chapter 872 The prefect sweeps the streets

Chapter 872 Prefect Sweeping the Streets

Helplessness was shown on the faces of the emperor and Song Wuya.

Sure enough, just as Song Wuya and the emperor thought, Zhu Yuanlong would naturally not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely make use of this opportunity to punish Song Wuya properly.

Originally, the emperor wanted to balance the merits and demerits in this way, so he took this matter over, but now it seems that he can't take it over.He knew in his heart that Zhu Yuanlong couldn't let Zhu Yuanlong say this, he had to make up his mind, so that Song Wuya could avoid Zhu Yuanlong's bullying.

"I heard what Zhu Aiqing said, and it is reasonable. Song Aiqing, then I will fine you three months' salary as punishment!"

After the emperor changed his words again, Song Wuya's punishment was also light.

The emperor had already spoken twice, and he thought in his heart that Zhu Yuanlong couldn't continue to refute his face.

The more he worried about something, the more something came.

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Yuanlong immediately said again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Song just donated a year's salary to build irrigation canals for the people not long ago. Now that he is fined with three months' salary again, Mr. Song may not be able to open the pot. I have an idea, but I don’t know what the Holy One thinks about it.”

The emperor was already impatient with Zhu Yuanlong, but he really couldn't say anything about this kind of thing.

I had no choice but to say: "Then Zhu Aiqing will tell me and let me listen."

"I believe that Mr. Song should set an example and take the lead in cleaning the capital himself. In this way, not only can the people see Mr. Song's character, but also let the people and their subordinates set his salary as a model. In this way, our capital will definitely prosper. !"

Zhu Yuanlong is really good at talking, so he came up with this idea, he wanted Song Wuya to sweep the streets himself.After all, in Zhu Yuanlong's view, even if Song Wuya lost his salary for a few years, it would be a painless matter, but this is different, it can completely make them ridicule Song Wuya, and it can also make him He lost face in front of the people.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell into silence, and the emperor did not speak directly.

At this time, the emperor was once again embarrassed.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I think what Master Zhu said is very true, and I am willing to set an example!"

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Song Wuya could only readily agree to this matter.After all, for him, this is not something to be ashamed of.

Anyway, it's just a small thing.As long as it's not too important, Song Wuya can accept it. After all, the ancients have already said that when the heavens place great responsibilities on people, they must first suffer from their hearts.For the big things that Song Wuya will do in the future, what is this small thing?

"Okay! Song Aiqing is indeed a role model for all officials, then this matter will be resolved according to Zhu Aiqing's words. Song Aiqing, this time, you must not be lazy. You must restore the clean and tidy appearance of the capital as soon as possible."

Song Wuya had already agreed, so the emperor naturally wouldn't say anything, he wanted Song Wuya to remind him.

On the surface, these words are for Song Wuya to complete this matter as soon as possible, but the real meaning is to remind Song Wuya not to let Zhu Yuanlong have such a handle in his hands.

Song Wuya understood and nodded his thanks.

The morning court ended, as expected, all the officials came to congratulate Song Wuya one after another.Congratulations to Song Wuya for accomplishing a great event and gaining benefits for the common people.But the smiles on their faces make people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at them.Obviously, their purpose of doing this was to ridicule Song Wuya in different ways.

"Hey!" Back home, Song Wuya couldn't help but sighed and said, "Wen'er, why do you think I made such an unreasonable mistake?"

Song Wuya's words frightened Situ Wen, after all, she saw that Song Wuya's face was not very good-looking, and the words even said that he had made a mistake, so she immediately became worried.

"Wu Ya, what happened? Then Zhu Yuanlong made things difficult for you again? Shouldn't today be the day you were commended? Why did you cause trouble?"

Situ Wen was very puzzled by Song Wuya's words. After all, she didn't think that Song Wuya had made any mistakes, and the irrigation of the canal was definitely a great contribution, and the emperor should praise it anyway.

"Hey! Don't mention it." Song Wuya sighed again: "I have already forgotten about this matter. Just before the irrigation canal, Zhu Yuanlong asked the Holy One to arrange an errand for me. Let me clean the capital. Street, at that time we thought of an idea to catch some sons of princes and nobles and let them clean the streets. It happened to take this opportunity to beat those ministers. Unexpectedly, two big troubles occurred after such a catch. After that, I started to build irrigation canals. With these things, I was already busy enough. So, I just forgot about the matter I received about cleaning the capital. Play me, I can't even remember!"

"So it's this matter!" Situ Wen also suddenly realized at this time, obviously she had already forgotten about this matter.After all, for the things that have happened recently, the cleaning of the street is absolutely insignificant.But it was such a small matter that made Song Wuya suffer. "Then Zhu Yuanlong is really, because of such a small matter, he wants to play you in front of the Holy Majesty. He is so old, he is really childish."

"Hey! It's not his fault." Song Wuya, who was originally frowning, suddenly laughed happily at this moment. "Who made my husband I am upright and upright, without any stains. He Zhu Yuanlong wanted to find some terrible things from my sage, it was really not easy. He can only use such trivial things to political me .”

"Bah!" Situ Wen rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "At this time, you don't feel ashamed to be dragged to sweep the street. On the contrary, you are happy? Fortunately, he didn't tell me to come with you Go, or I'd rather kill myself than go to the street with you and lose face."

"Wen'er, how can this be a shameful thing?" Song Wuya was not happy after hearing this, and did not agree with Situ Wen's thoughts. "I'm doing it for the common people too. That's something worthy of praise, but it's a shameful thing when it comes to your mouth."

"Isn't it? A dignified magistrate doesn't handle cases in the yamen, but runs to the street to clean the street. You say it's not a shame, what is it?" Situ Wen argued hard, not letting Song Wuya at all.

"Okay, okay, I don't care about this with you anymore. Hurry up and eat something, I have to sweep the street, otherwise, if I can't do this well, then Zhu Yuanlong will definitely make something wrong." Song Wuya didn't bother arguing with Situ Wen anymore.

After all, the most stupid thing in the world is to quarrel with a woman.Song Wuya let Situ Wen go at that time, after all he still had business to do later.

Speaking of which, his majestic magistrate's official business is to sweep the streets.Speaking of this matter, it is really not easy to speak.

There is no way, things have come to this point, even if it is embarrassing, Song Wuya can only bite the bullet and go up.

"What? My lord, are you going to sweep the street yourself?"

After hearing Song Wuya's arrangement, the imperial guards all showed surprise after asking clearly that Song Wuya was going to sweep the street.

"That's right! This government accidentally left a handle on Zhu Yuanlong, and that's why it ended up like this." Song Wuya said helplessly.

It can be seen that the imperial guards can't help laughing at the moment, obviously this is definitely a funny thing.

"Isn't this residence just going to sweep the streets? Are you so happy?" Seeing the gloating looks of the guards, Song Wuya couldn't help but smiled wryly.

It was fine if he didn't say that, but after he said that, the guards couldn't hold back any longer and laughed loudly.

"My lord, don't you think it's a funny thing for you, a dignified prefect of the capital, to go out to sweep the streets this early in the morning?" the leader of the imperial guards said with a big smile.

"This government is sympathetic to the people's sentiments, and it's entirely for the people." Facing their ridicule, Song Wuya still tried to argue desperately.

"Come on, my lord. Let me go with you later." The guards had finished laughing, and indulged in talking about business.

"It's better not to. This Zhu Yuanlong said that he wants to let me go there in person." Song Wuya shook his head and immediately rejected their offer.

"My lord, what he said was to let you go in person, but he didn't say to let you go alone? Why not?" said the leader of the guards indifferently.

What he said was right, after all, literally, it made sense.But Song Wuya shook his head resolutely and said: "Zhu Yuanlong is full of tricks, if I bring you all together, maybe he will say something about me in front of the Holy One again, let me do it myself."

"My lord, when are you going to sweep by yourself? Maybe you won't be able to finish sweeping until the Chinese New Year. You can't finish sweeping this street. Your Majesty will resume your position as an imperial envoy and ask you to investigate Wuliangjiao. Zhu Yuanlong would suddenly come out and say to the Holy Master, Mr. Song has not finished sweeping the street yet, this thing has to be done from beginning to end, let him talk about it after he finishes sweeping."

Although this was just a joke, Song Wuya really didn't think it was a joke.He cleaned the street by himself, and he really didn't know how long he would have to wait.If it was true that after Bai Zhuo came back, he hadn't finished sweeping the street, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be able to leave the capital as soon as possible.

After much deliberation, Song Wuya nodded and agreed after thinking about it seriously: "You are right, no matter what you say, you can't delay leaving the capital, you can go with me, if something happens we'll talk about it then."

Chapter 873 What the people want

Anyway, Song Wuya agreed to the proposal of the guards.

A group of people came to the street, and Song Wuya, who was dressed in official clothes, was immediately recognized by the common people.When the common people saw Song Wuya and his party came to the street with a broom, they immediately understood what they were going to do.

The common people ignored this at all, and greeted Song Wuya one after another.

Song Wuya's actions in the capital are already known to everyone, and now there is no one in the city who does not praise him.Walking on this street now, people everywhere say hello.
