Chapter 319: Confession
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think what you said is very reasonable, very reasonable, I think I can support what you and others say, since the officialdom will never be peaceful, then what are you going to do?"
"The emperor is wise." Everyone in the audience is even more excited, but this is the case, in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no officialdom without corrupt officials, and at the same time, there is no Great Song Dynasty.
At the same time, in this way, they can also be more assured and bold as officials, and no one can do it, and there will be no crisis in the future.
Some ministers shook their heads and sighed when they saw it, Song Duzong was faint, which would lead to the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty speeding up.
Although Tang officials couldn't catch them all, they did ignore the bad influence they brought and the common people.
If the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty added up their uprisings, it can be said that it would only take a few days to destroy the country.
These ministers didn't say anything, they didn't bother to resign, so they simply left the palace today, took their wives and children and flew away, and never returned to officialdom.
Dragon chair food, Song Duzong continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to beat at this moment?" Regarding this Song Qing, there must be an explanation.
Master Sun jumped out, "Your Majesty, about Song Qing, we also have to guard against it, if we all carry the banner of the Great Song Dynasty King Law like him, and thoroughly investigate the officialdom everywhere in the country, wouldn't this make everyone endanger?"
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this Song Qing, this person's influence is not inferior to the emperor, especially among the people, there are many people who have great respect for him, Your Majesty, you have to obey."
Lord Wang jumped out, "What Lord Sun said is very true, Weichen is very supportive and supportive, the emperor, Weichen thinks that he can make a fold, and then let him take it easy, or he will be dismissed and investigated."
Song Duzong weighed for a moment, and was a little worried in his heart.
The dismissal of Song and Qing, I am afraid that the common people will have opinions, and at that time it will cause great dissatisfaction, and even cause people to start an uprising, this worry is not for no reason.
"Lord Sun, Lord Wang, about Song Qing, I feel that I can't be dismissed, or even be so reckless, what the two adults said just now I understand and support very much, but if I really do it at this moment, I'm afraid the people won't agree."
"The most important thing is that the father and son of the Song and Qing dynasties have made great contributions to my Song Dynasty over the years, and the people love them very much. Otherwise. ”
"Master Sun, you arrange a new Zhizhou to go to Longzhou City, and at the same time bring a word for me, you want this Song Qing to be more leisurely, otherwise I won't be able to protect him."
"It's the emperor." Lord Sun received the order and was very happy.
The early dynasty retreated, and Song Duzong once again summoned these people to the study, ready to have fun playing with this cricket.
In Longzhou City, among the yamen, Song Qing is still quietly waiting for the new Zhizhou to come at this moment, there is still half the distance, hurry up and hurry, if you don't break the halfway. The case will be there in ten days.
At noon, Tang Yueyue prepared food and wine to serve, and when it was served to the table, several people also began to eat.
"My lord, we have been waiting here for some days, when will this new Zhizhou come? You see, the time is all here, otherwise I would have walked hundreds of miles. ”
Song Qing was also helpless about this, he had no choice, he couldn't control the affairs of the court.
Not only that, but he was more anxious than anyone else, and there was already too much time to delay. The deputy general also opened his mouth, "My lord, I don't think there is any need for us to go to this Jiannan Dongchuan at all, it is better to go directly to the case you want to investigate." ”
"Besides, adults don't want to be officials, it's better to finish it and leave early, so that we can disband it earlier, and I have seen through the officialdom in the recent period.
When Vice General Yun heard these words, his internal organs trembled, he originally wanted to spy on Song Qing, but he had no idea at all at this moment.
Such a clean official for the sake of the people, if he brings him down, then how can the people still have a good life?
Vice General Yun knelt down abruptly and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, the little one has something to confess to you."
Song Qing felt strange and helped the other party up, "Vice General Yun, what are you doing here?" What is there to confess and not to confess? Get up and speak. ”
Vice General Yun said: "My lord, I don't hide it, I waited for 10,000 people to come, but it was arranged by the imperial court Shangshu, and he deliberately asked me to follow the adults, and he wanted to monitor the adults below."
Vice General Chao and Tang Yueyue were a little angry, "Vice General Yun, what do you mean by this?" Spying on adults? What have we been doing all these days?"
Vice General Yun said: "It is precisely because the adult is a clean official, so he has to confess in the next, others, you ask, what to ask, all the truth in the next."
Song Qing really felt strange, he didn't do anything wrong, for the sake of the people in the court to spy on him?
"Vice General Yun, since that's the case, let's talk about it, why do you want to spy on Song? At the same time, is this what Song Duzong meant?"
Vice General Yun said: "My lord, and Song Duzong's facial features, in fact, it is Lord Shangshu Wang, Lord Sun of Zhongshu Province, and Lord He of Menxia Province, this is all deliberately arranged by them.
Song Qing understood when he heard this, were these people worried that they would threaten them? They are already official positions in the three provinces and six ministries, and they are second only to Jia Yidao, can they threaten them?
Hehe, I'm afraid it's not so simple, the three adults of Cao, Tang and Wu were not locked by their father? Hehe, they're planning ahead.
"Vice General Yun, how do these three adults want you to spy on Song? You can't give a trumped-up charge for no reason, such as General Yue Fei back then?"
Vice General Yun said: "What my lord said is very true, in fact, these 10,000 soldiers are the hole cards of the adult, and the emperor Song Duzong deliberately did not pay the adult's military salary."
"In the future, the three adults will have something to say, because it takes a lot of silver to feed 10,000 people, and they will ask the adults how they will get their military salaries, and if the adults can't answer, they will be taken down."
It's really a deep scheming, Song Qingzhen convinced them, this kind of practice is too vicious, but it is understandable.
If they don't take down this threat, they will also worry that they will not get a good end in the future, which Song Qing understands very well.
"Okay, Deputy General Yun, Song asked you, does this matter have anything to do with Empress Dowager Xie, right? Has he already allowed Empress Dowager Xie to do this?"
Vice General Yun shook his head, "My lord, this matter actually has nothing to do with Empress Dowager Xie, on the contrary, Empress Dowager Xie has been criticizing Song Duzong and saying that he is inactive. ”
Song Qingen sighed, assuming that Empress Dowager Xie was not involved in this case, then things would be a little better, this Song Duzong is completely the same as the previous Song Lizong. Vice General Yun regretted it very much, and cried: "My lord, the little one can't stand you, I never knew that you were a big Qing official, and at this moment, the little one regrets it very much, and I hope the big one will punish you."
Song Qing smiled and said, "Vice General Yun, what are you guilty of?" Since you have already told Song, it means that you have recognized me in your heart, right? No more self-reproach.
Vice Admiral Yun was relieved.
Tang Yueyue and the deputy general began to apologize at this moment, they had already wronged each other just now. "Vice General Yun, Chao Mou misunderstood you just now, you and I are working together under the hands of adults, don't be careful.
"Yes, yes, Vice Admiral Yun, you must know that we are the right hand of the adult, and now you have become the left and right leg of the adult."
As soon as they said this, the scene finally became harmonious.
A few days later, a procession of ten men entered the city from outside the city, and they walked between themselves to the yamen, and then went inside.
The person who came was the newly arrived Lord Zhizhou, although he was a person from three books and six provinces, but he was jealous and hateful all his life, and hated corrupt officials the most.
When he entered the interior and saw Song Qing, he knelt down and said, "Song Ti punished Lord Song, the officials are polite."
Song Qing noticed it, and immediately stepped forward to help him up and said, "This lord, please hurry up, if Song is not mistaken, you are the new Zhizhou."
"Yes, my lord."
"Hey, Lord Zhizhou knelt down for Song, this is unacceptable, after all, your official residence is the fourth grade, and your official position is higher than Song."
Gao Qi laughed and said: "Xiaguan is not Zhizhou at the moment, and you and I haven't moved out yet, so Xiaguan should kneel to you at this moment."
Song Qing was speechless, this statement was reasonable.
"Lord Song, Xiaguan has heard for a long time that you have solved countless cases, Shangguan has solved many cases in a few months, and many official histories have fallen into your hands, Xiaguan really admires you.
The two chatted for a long time, and finally talked about the topic at this moment.
"Lord Song, there is a sentence from the lower official that Song Duzong conveyed, Lord Song must hear it clearly, and it must be urgent, that is, Song Duzong hopes that you will take it easy, otherwise he will not be able to protect you."
Song Qing was stunned, he already knew what this sentence meant, was this a threat from the emperor to himself, or a threat to himself from the imperial court?
Take it easy, do you mean that you have caught too many corrupt officials?
Song Qing already knows everything, but he is not afraid, the big deal is that he will not be an official, but Aunt Xiaoyue's revenge, I am afraid that he will not be able to avenge it in his life. "Kochizhou, thank you for informing, Song already knows and understands, it seems that the imperial court doesn't want to have clean officials, or they don't like this officialdom to become more incorruptible, Song has already served."
"Okay, the words have come to this, Song is also very discouraged and helpless at the moment, Da Song is Da Song, and he will never be able to compare with Da Tang, Song has already served."
Gao Qi said: "Song Ti Xing, it's not a secret, I wait for the officials to be a day is also a day, at this moment the Mongolian army has led the soldiers into Suzhou City, the three adults in the court obviously know, but they just refuse to inform, my lord, don't you say that this is not going to die soon?"
