Chapter 201: Demotion
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged, wronged, about this Lanzhu County, Weichen didn't go to Hu Lai at all, this is all planted by these Diao people!"
"Your Majesty, these Diao people deliberately found an excuse, their main purpose is to hit the Great Song Dynasty, you must not believe your slander!"
Song Lizong's face became more and more ugly, he already knew what was going on, and there were a thousand question marks ringing in his mind, and he was very angry.
"Xu An, you said that the people wronged you, then I want to know, they want to wronged you for peace? There are so many people in the whole Song Dynasty, can't this just pick you alone?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are really wronged, these thieves have been planning for a long time, they have good intentions and profound plans in order to frame me!"
"Also...."
"Shut up." Prime Minister Liu's roar came, "Lord Xu, you are really bold, you are doing nonsense outside, at this moment, in front of Emperor Lizong, you still dare to die and not admit it, you are really a good bold." ”
"You ......"
"What are you? Bold Xu An, you have committed a capital crime, and you still don't admit it, come on, take this person alive for me, and at the same time, execute him immediately. ”
A palace guard walked out and dragged Xu An, who was like a dead dog, to the city gate, Prime Minister Liu gave a look, Xu An's mouth was blocked, and in his throat, he couldn't say anything except whining.
The executioner's hand rose and fell, Xu An lost Huang Quan's life, he didn't expect that he would get such an end.
These people were very satisfied, it turned out that Xu An had done this alone, and he was also executed, and they were very satisfied.
Prime Minister Liu immediately knelt at the feet of Song Lizong, "Your Majesty, Weichen just took it upon himself to kill Xu An, and I hope that the emperor will surrender." ”
Song Lizong said: "Liu Aiqing, what are you guilty of?" This Xu An's crime is extremely evil, killing him is inevitable, you are not guilty, and at the same time, someone will hang this Xu An's body under the city tower and expose it to the sun for a month to save the hearts of the people. ”
"It's the emperor." They acted.
Song Lizong looked at the tens of thousands of people below, there were too many people, he didn't dare to be careless, even as a faint monarch, he also knew the situation at this time, if he was not careful, in the future, the entire Great Song Dynasty would definitely be completely chaotic.
"Folks, I already know the ins and outs of this matter, and at the same time, I don't know that this Xu An is so bold, he has been punished, I believe everyone saw it all just now, right?"
Everyone responded, this matter has indeed been known, and many people are thinking that this matter may be done by Xu An, and it has nothing to do with others.
Song Lizong continued: "Folks, I know your difficulties, and now that the murderer has been punished, I hope you will return to Lanzhu County honestly, okay?"
"At the same time, I will also severely punish the imperial court, not only in your Lanzhu County, but even in other counties, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials should not want to be tyrannical."
The stone in Prime Minister Liu's heart finally fell, Xu An died, and he had no worries.
"Folks, how good the emperor said, the main envoys are all dead, this means that it has been perfectly resolved, you all leave, as for the compensation for some of you, the court will issue it after evaluation, and within a month, it will definitely be in your hands." There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, they didn't want to be thieves, they were just forced, and now that the matter was settled, there was naturally no need to continue to stay here.
So, with one person taking the lead, soon the team departed, and the 10,000 people had disappeared in less than half an hour.
Tower. Prime Minister Liu said: "Your Majesty, this matter is finally in danger, although it has been resolved, but in the eyes of Weichen, there are still some adults who have not investigated their dereliction of duty." Song Lizong said: "What does Liu Aiqing mean by Song Ci of Lanzhu County and Jiao Fei, the local magistrate? Yes, these two people are indeed derelict in their duties, in that case, according to Prime Minister Liu's wishes, how should I deal with it?"
Prime Minister Liu raised his head, very righteous.
"If the emperor really wants to convict, the minister thinks that Song Ci can be demoted to the local Lizheng and hand over the military power, and at the same time, this Jiaozhi County directly makes him return to his hometown, this person is old, even if he is still in the position of the county, I am afraid he will not be able to do it for long. Song Lizong also had this intention, but also opened his mouth, "Since Prime Minister Liu also has this intention, then it is easy to do, come here, give me a decree, according to what Prime Minister Liu said just now, immediately send the decree to Song Ci and Jiao Fei of Lanzhu County, and at the same time, Prime Minister Liu, who do you think should be the new local magistrate to take office?"
Prime Minister Liu frowned, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has two students, and they have been following Weichen for many years, and there is absolutely no problem with their character, if the emperor can trust Weichen, how about arranging the two of them to Lanzhu County?"
Song Lizong didn't think about it and said: "Since this is the case, then Liu Aiqing will handle this matter, by the way, let's hurry back to the Xuande Hall to fight the crickets, I almost won just now."
Jia Rudao here, with his suppression, the situation in Jiangzhou has finally eased down at this moment, no one dares to revolt anymore, it is too ruthless, hundreds of people were killed last time, such a scene has caused everyone's heart palpitations.
At the same time, the closure of the four city gates also made them very palpitating and shocked, they originally wanted to go to Lin'an to report, but it was useless at the moment, they couldn't get out at all, and there was no way at all.
Some people climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and were found by the patrolling guards and killed on the spot, while others forcibly rushed out of the city gate and were also killed on the spot.
Fear surged into everyone's hearts, they knew that it was over, all of this was gone, all of them were gone, and Da Song didn't know how chaotic it would be.
And Jia Rudao in the palace is still fiddling with crickets at the moment, the previous crickets have died, and he found a more powerful one in the grass, with a strong physique, which is very attractive.
Zhang Dawang came and said: "Master Jia, now that there are crickets, should we continue to fight crickets?" You've been looking at it for days, what else is going to be done?"
Jia Rudao waved his hand and said: "No need, Jia Ye and I have made too much trouble recently, these Diao people already have heart palpitations about Jia Ye, if they go from time to time, I'm afraid they won't dare to go after a long time."
"By the way, isn't the river outside the city about to burst recently? How's it going, are there any floods?"
Wang Sidao: "Back to Jia Ye, the local people have already told us that since Jia Ye did not send troops, they are building it by themselves at this moment."
"Build it yourself? Let them go, Jia Ye, I'm just a mortal drive, what do you use to fight against nature? At the same time, I also told them to move out quickly, as long as the river bursts, Jia Ye and I will definitely not care. ”
"What Jia Ye said is that this group of Diao people are also cheap, why do you say they refuse to move out? Isn't this sincere to add blockage to Jia Ye's heart, this God is too, if you want to rise the flood, you have to go faster, in this way, hehe, Jia Ye won't have so many things to do in the future, right?
Jia Rudao snorted, and then said: "By the way, I wrote a letter to Lin'an, Zhang Dawangsi, have you done it for Jia Ye and me?" You see, we have made such a great contribution, we can't help but let my brother-in-law, Emperor Lizong, know, don't you say?"
"Jia Ye, the excerpt has been sent out through the post station, and it is estimated that it will be there in the next two days."
As soon as the words fell, a soldier walked in from outside, holding the holy decree in his hand and said, "Jia Ye sent the holy decree from the eunuch team in the palace at the east gate just now, but it has been blocked out."
"Why stop them?"
This person said: "Master Jia, there are still ten miles from the east gate to the mansion, and I am worried that this group of eunuchs will hear something from Diao Min's mouth, and then go back and talk nonsense, so just..."
Jia Rudao laughed and said: "Yes, you have done a good job in this matter, and someone will give a reward of 100 taels of silver."
The man was overjoyed, and Jia Rudao took the holy decree and looked at it, and was a little unhappy.
"This Emperor Lizong is too, after listening to my sister's words, let me write an excerpt every ten days from now on, where do you say there is so much to say?"
"Master Jia, maybe Concubine Jia is worried about you, or else, you will write a letter to report your safety? Otherwise, if the concubine Niangniang is worried about you, what will she do with the emperor in Jiangzhou?"
Jia Rudao felt reasonable, but continued to write to Lin'an.
At the same time, on the side of Lanzhu County, the team of the imperial court to deliver the holy decree went south, and they soon came to the outside of the barracks.
Song Ci and the others went out to receive the order and knelt on the ground.
The eunuch said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Lanzhu County encircled and suppressed the chief general, and also mentioned the criminal officer Song Ci, because of the continuous anti-thieves in Lanzhu County today, Song Ci and Jiao Fei of Zhixian County are not conducive to encirclement and suppression, and today I hereby decree to surrender."
The two of them were cold-hearted, they knew that they should come or come, they didn't fight this Prime Minister Liu and Uncle Jia like to say that they won, and they won very neatly.
The eunuch continued: "I have decided to remove Jiao Feizhi from the post of county magistrate, and at the same time, the criminal officer Song Ci has also been demoted to the local lizheng, and there must be no mistake in handing over the military power after the new lord comes to power, so I will do this."
As soon as these words came out, the entire barracks exploded, and they never expected that Song Ci, who they supported the most, was demoted, and they were very angry at the moment.
Someone is already scolding, "These corrupt officials, Lord Song has worked hard for the Song Dynasty officialdom all these years, but I didn't expect to get such a result, what is going on?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Song is a Qing official, why should he be punished like this? Is this Emperor Lizong blind? What the hell is going on, can't he feel it?"
"It's over, it's over, the officialdom of Da Song is really finished, it's really really over, Lord Song is so good, he loves the people like a son, why did he end up like this?"
