Your Majesty, crickets are insects in the grass, the minister thinks that if the people of the county are entertaining, the impact is too bad, in the top priority, it should be to expand the army, and plan to fight with the Jin people, when the time comes, we still have Mongolia, and the Western Xia These two countries are eyeing each other, and I really dare not take it lightly. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were supported by Prime Minister Han Zhan.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Lu's words are very reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with what the criminal officer Song Ci did, let me ask, the people of a county are playing crickets, and even the magistrate of the county has come to join in the fun, how does he manage this county?"

"Moreover, the minister also listened, this magistrate was also beheaded by Song Ci because of the unjust case, Song Ti was punished but the shield of my Great Song Jiangshan, comparable to General Yue Fei and Lord Bao of the Northern Song Dynasty, the minister suggested that Song Ci be crowned as the general of Zhennan, and then resist Jin.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xi immediately objected, "Your Majesty, Song Ci has been a criminal officer for more than ten years, he is never qualified to be the general of Zhennan, and millions of troops are handed over to him, isn't it going to be ruined?" He has no experience in managing the army, and his rash appointment will only make the opposite effect.

Lord Cao and Lord Tang of the Ministry of Rites echoed one after another, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu is completely correct, General Zhennan is no better than other official positions, the emperor has to think twice, Song Ci will do a good job, but he will not lead troops to fight, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Besides, even Shi Jia Shi has already played him, Your Majesty, can't you see the problem?"

Song Ningzong was silent, this was reasonable, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Han Fu said: "Lord Cao, Lord Tang and Lord Wu, this is wrong, Song Ci is an honest official, and treats his subordinates very harshly, it is precisely because of this, we have to trust him even more, the emperor, the minister thinks you don't have to think about it, Song Ci can be the general of Zhennan."

In the Xuande Palace, there was a lot of opposition, and they felt that once Song Ci was promoted, what was waiting for them was death.

"Your Majesty, do you see that Song Ci has been an official for more than ten years, what has the court been in turmoil? The prefect of the county has caught a lot, but.... Everyone has been arrested, who will govern this court?"

Song Ningzong was silent, he knew this question.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you know everything completely, but right now, I don't know where this Song Ci should be?"

"Back to the emperor, Song Ci is currently in Changting County, and the Criminal Department has received evidence of corruption in this county, and he has been beheaded."

Song Ningzong thought for a while, "Otherwise, someone will come to announce the decree, Song Ci has solved countless cases in his life, I am very distressed, from now on, he will be temporarily removed from the post of criminal officer, and he will be the magistrate of Changting County instead, and he is not allowed to interfere with the people's fight against crickets, you Aiqing, what do you think."

Cao, Tang and Wu are three great lands: "The emperor is wise, this is the best way."

Lu You immediately walked out, "Your Majesty, regarding the removal of Song Ci from the post of criminal officer, it is really inappropriate, inappropriate, a good horse with a good saddle, Song Ci is like a sharp sword, how can you put him in the house and not use it?"

Han Dixuan also said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Lord Lu have the same meaning, Song Ci can not be the general of Zhennan, but the criminal officer can not be dismissed, otherwise, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid....

Song Ningzong closed his eyes, leaned back in the dragon chair and said: "I have a decision, you can retreat, come here, you can go to the Yamen of Changting County to announce the decree."

"Yes!"

The civil and military officials retreated, and the prime minister Han Zhuxuan and Lu You were very helpless, but they had no choice.

Cao, Tang and Wu had a lot of joy on their faces, Song Ci was taken down, and their hearts were finally gone, and they had no worries in the future.

In Jianyang County, Song Ci still came down from the top of the mountain, and walked on the street with his wife Yu, and a son and a daughter.

"By the way, madam, I don't know if anyone in our county is playing with crickets?"

Yu said: "Cricket? What are these words? An insect, is it necessary for everyone to play like this?

Song Ci put his mind at ease, fortunately it didn't come, otherwise, he couldn't stop it, but as soon as this word fell, he saw four or five men rummaging in the grass.

Song Ci walked and went up, "Several, have you lost any valuables?" Someone shook his head and looked at Song Ci, "Childe misunderstood, we are actually looking for crickets, this insect is lively in Changting County, almost the whole city is playing, I think, it won't be long before this Jianyang will be like this, and at that time, hehe, we will seize the opportunity." ”

It's a cricket again, it's a cricket again, Song Ci has a fire in his heart, but he can't help the people of Jianyang.

If it goes on like this, sooner or later the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of these people, and the slaves will fall on themselves and others sooner or later.

Looking at these people drifting away, Song Ci knew that he couldn't be silent, and he must return to Changting County to stop the spread of crickets in other counties.

"Madam, why don't you hand over the child to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you accompany me back to Changting County, and I will take you to travel all over the Great Song Dynasty together, how about it?"

Yu said: "Aren't you a criminal officer?" If you want to solve the case, how can you accompany me?"

Just take a little time out and have it soon? Madam, don't worry, there is only a small amount of time to solve the case, and I can't solve the case all the time, right?

Yu snorted, then quickly walked forward, handed over the child to his father-in-law, Song Ci bought some gifts, and after repeated instructions, he and Yu finally returned to Changting County.

As soon as he stepped into the yamen, Song Ci had a bad premonition, it seemed that something was wrong, but it was not very serious, everyone in the house was there, but the officers and soldiers were not here.

Seeing Song Ci and his wife coming in, Qin Yue immediately came up and said with a forced smile: "My lord, madam, you are back, I. We... We've been waiting for you for a while. ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, if you don't come, we are not used to it, we are always worried that something will happen, you, how is this good?"

Song Ci looked at them strangely, "Yue Xiaoxiang, I see that your face is not very good, tell me, what happened?"

"Ahh No, no, why do you ask this question, my lord? How could something be wrong? You've only been away for a few days, even if there's a big deal, it's not a big deal!"

Lu Sheng also followed, "Yes, my lord, everything is normal in this Changting County, nothing has happened, my lord, you are too worried."

Yu Shi opened his mouth on the side, "Several, don't hide it, you adults are the criminal officer, from your expression, he has seen something, I don't think you need to hide it." ”

At this point, Qin Yue took out the holy decree not long ago, and Song Ci took it and looked at it, but he didn't come back to his senses after a long time.

Xiaoxiang said: "Just now my father-in-law sent a holy decree, and the emperor dismissed the lord from the post of criminal officer, but took up the post of magistrate of Changting County."

Yu Shi breathed a sigh of relief on his face, this is fine, he will not have to run back and forth in the future, he is also tired after ten years of running.
