The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

The second day of September is the birthday of the wife of the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture.

The officials and merchants in Shangyang Prefecture were too tired to complain. It had only been a few days since Chen Su was promoted, and now there was another wedding banquet.

But no matter how much we complain, gifts are still indispensable.

Fan Yunchuan has been in high spirits recently as he has enjoyed good things.

After hearing Chen Su's words, he submitted the letter of recommendation for him to be the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture to the Ministry of Personnel.

Because of this sentence, Mrs. Fan put all her dowry into the pot.

The Fan family was emptied out because of a pearl necklace.

Mrs. Fan's dowry didn't include much cash, so she had to sell the two shops she had bought before.

But business is difficult in Shangyang Prefecture now, who would buy?

Fan Yunchuan had no choice but to ask someone to bring Fan Tong and Xiaoguang back.

Fan Tong found the victim, Lu Changping.

Lu Changping was flattered by Fan Tong and Xiaoguang, and completely ignored the objection of Manager Wang and spent 40,000 taels to buy the two shops.

Fan Tong and Xiaoguang were only concerned with cashing in on their shops, and did not notice that due to the obstruction of Manager Wang, the original asking price of the two shops was reduced to 70,000 taels, but was finally reduced to 40,000 taels.

But even if they noticed, they wouldn't care.

There are a lot of empty shops in Shangyang Prefecture now, and they can’t sell anything at all.

These 40,000 taels of silver notes, together with some remaining money from the Fan family, totaled 50,000 taels and were sent to the Chen family.

On September 6, the transfer orders for Fan Yunchuan and Huang Lianchun were transmitted to Shangyang Prefecture.

Fan Yunchuan was promoted to the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture.

Huang Lianchun was transferred to the Minzhou border army and served as the fourth-rank Huaiyuan General.

Huang Lianchun excitedly pulled Liang Lu and repeatedly promised that he would rescue Gao Siwei.

However, he also asked Liang Lu to promise him that after rescuing Gao Siwei, he would give him the remaining notes on the enemy...

At the same time, at the Liu Mansion on Miao'an Street in Luocheng, former Prime Minister Liu Zhiheng was playing chess with former Minister of Personnel Li Jiangnan.

The old servant Liu Yan came in with a thick letter.

"Master, this is something a beggar just gave me, and he told me to be sure to hand it over to you, my Lord."

Liu Zhiheng was fighting fiercely with Li Jiangnan.

"open to take a look."

After Liu Yan opened it, his expression changed.

"Master, this letter..."

Liu Zhiheng saw that his expression was not right, so he took it and looked at it, and his expression also changed.

Li Jiangnan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his expression change from sadness to relief.

Since the death of the previous emperor and the passing of the throne to Prince An, Liu Zhiheng rarely showed such straightforward sadness and joy in front of outsiders.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Zhiheng wiped away his tears and handed over the letter.

"I knew he wouldn't stand by and allow Emperor Zhaowen to destroy the legacy of his ancestors."

The letter was written by Li Jiren.

But Li Jiangnan knew that the "he" Liu Zhiheng was talking about was Prince Lin.

When the Jiyang Army massacred Wuping County, countless people cursed King Lin.

But as King Lin's half-teachers, they never thought that he would do such a cruel thing.

But their people didn't find any results.

This year, Li Jiren and Li Jixin caused a big disturbance in Los Angeles.

Those old guys were hiding in Mingxiang Tower and suffering a lot.

Li Jiren and his brothers want to take the Empress Dowager away, which means that Prince Lin wants to cut ties with Dayu.

The late emperor finally hurt Prince Lin's heart.

Although they have retired, they have dedicated their lives to Dayu.

They watched helplessly as Emperor Zhaowen gradually revealed his true nature from being cautious at the beginning.

Watching the people of Dayu go from being at peace to becoming increasingly resentful.

In March, Xu Rui from Changxing Prefecture presented a rare stone.

Emperor Zhaowen didn't care how Xu Rui performed as an official and wanted to transfer him back to Luocheng.

If Li Jixin had not suddenly entered Luocheng, Xu Rui would have been the Minister of Personnel by now.

In June, a riot broke out in Changxing Prefecture, which was once known as "Little Yuezhou" due to its prosperity.

Xu Rui did not report to the court and directly sent troops to suppress the rebellion, resulting in the deaths of more than a thousand civilians.

In July, the news reached Luocheng that Xu Rui had mobilized troops against the people without authorization. Emperor Zhaowen not only did not hold him accountable, but also commended Xu Rui for his courage.

There is also Shangyang Prefecture.

When Yao Qiming was in office, Shangyang Prefecture had clean administration and prosperous business.

Later, Chen Su took over and treated Shangyang Prefecture as Emperor Zhaowen's money bag.

Even if the incident in Wuping County had not happened, Shangyang Prefecture would have been in a state of ruin.

Not only Changxing Prefecture and Shangyang Prefecture, but even the city of Luoyang under their feet was gradually falling into ruin.

After reading Li Jiren's letter, Li Jiangnan looked at the thick stack of evidence and tears welled up in his eyes.

"If Dayu is allowed to continue its decline, within ten years, all regions will be in turmoil, and Prince Lin will then have a legitimate reason to launch a war.

But he couldn't bear to see the foundation built by his ancestors with great effort return to the state it was seventy years ago. That child hasn't changed!

Liu Zhiheng laughed and cried at the same time: "He suffered such injustice, but he did not change his original intention. As two old guys, of course we must do our best to help him."

Li Jiangnan patted Liu Zhiheng on the shoulder and said, "What do you mean by the two of us? I'll go find Song Wuming, Wang Wenxuan, and the others right now. Let's work together to help Dayu."

Liu Zhiheng nodded: "Okay, even if Dayu turns into a pile of mud in the end, we must slow down its decay..."

The next morning at court, Imperial Censor Fang Xuanren reported Shangyang Prefecture's Co-magistrate Fan Yunchuan to authorities for crimes including abducting women, accepting bribes, and robbing people's property.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Lin Yuwen, the Tongpan of Shangyang Prefecture, was murdered, and the case was hastily closed as a revenge killing. Now the candidate for Tongpan has not yet been decided.

Tongzhi Fan Yunchuan was recommended as the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture, and the transfer order had just been issued two days ago.

Lord Fang is well-known for his honesty. If he dares to make such a report, he must have evidence.

The sky in Shangyang Prefecture is about to change again.

Emperor Zhaowen became furious when he heard this.

Fang Xuanren is just going against him. The transfer order has already been issued. Isn't this a slap in his face?

Besides, whether Fan Yunchuan was greedy or robbed, the money eventually went through Chen Su and into his own private treasury.

"Master Fang, the order for Fan Yunchuan to be transferred to the position of prefect of Shangyang Prefecture has just been issued, and you are already reporting him. Isn't this an insult to the court?"

"Your Majesty, I have evidence."

Emperor Zhaowen's face turned pale, but he still had it presented.

He glanced at it. The witness statements all had fingerprints, the sources of the evidence were clear, and there was also Fan Yunchuan's salary, the income from the Fan Mansion's properties, and the Fan Mansion's expenses over the years...

Emperor Zhaowen knew that these should not be false, but Chen Su was gone, and he didn't want to lose the money bag of Shangyang Prefecture. Fan Yunchuan had no bottom line in doing things, and was very suitable for that position.

Just when Emperor Zhaowen was struggling, the Minister of Personnel Qian Weiwen suggested going to Shangyang Prefecture to investigate.

Minister of Works Tao Jian seconded the motion.

Then half of the civil and military officials in the court seconded the motion.

Others did not second the motion, but did not stand up to oppose it either.

Emperor Zhaowen was extremely angry and began to miss Ruan Bai.

Although Ruan Bai liked to act like a father-in-law in front of him privately, he could quickly understand what he meant with just a glance in the court.

Ruan Xinzhao is dead, Ruan Bai is deposed, and now the Ruan family has nothing left except a title.

Fortunately, Chen Su is here soon and will be able to replace Ruan Bai and become his own spokesperson in the future.

While Emperor Zhaowen was still thinking about it, Fang Xuanren reported again that Xu Rui, the prefect of Changxing Prefecture, had committed corruption, bribery, abuse of power for personal gain, and the slaughter of innocent people, and the evidence was still complete.

Emperor Zhaowen felt that Fang Xuanren was coming for him today.

He just praised Xu Rui last month.

He was about to say a few words when the Minister of War Chang Jingyu suggested that they check the facts.

This time, more people seconded the motion than before.

Emperor Zhaowen was angry and never agreed to a thorough investigation of the two officials.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

Minister of Rites Yang Ziliang cursed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

When Emperor Zhaowen saw Yang Ziliang, he felt disgusted.

This old guy is not on the same page with me.

But no matter how nagging he was, he was the Minister of Rites after all, so he had to give him face...
