Linghu Feng did not meet Xiang Kui, nor did he see Zhang Jin and his son, but ordered the case to be sent to Yousi for review.

Two days later, it was reported that "Zhang Jin and his son colluded with Lu Shuihu", and the human and physical evidence was complete and the evidence was conclusive.

Linghu Feng immediately ordered Song Hong, the internal historian, and asked him to come up with a way to deal with it.

In this dynasty, as in the previous generations, the county and the feudal were parallel, and the chief of the county was called the assassin and the county commander, and the chief of the kingdom was called the internal history.

This Song Hong is the nominal chief executive of the Dingxi Imperial Court.

After receiving Linghu's order, some of Song Hong's subordinates were puzzled, and said privately: "Zhang Jin's father and son are guilty of Hu Chief, and their crimes are heavy, but his father and son are not important ministers of the court, one is white, and the other is just the main book of Jiankang, even if it is for Zhang Danong's sake, he will come to the king to dispose of it, and he can also hand it over to the department for disposal; Why does the king need to order the Ming Duke to judge himself? ”

The implication is that it is a bit overkill to let Song Hong personally plan to dispose of it.

Song Hong's actions after receiving the order made this subordinate even more puzzled.

Song Hong sent the lieutenant commanders, lieutenants, and peasants, as well as the pastoral mansions, governor's mansions, and Taiwei mansions, and invited people from all prefectures to come to the meeting.

Lang Zhongling and other three officials are the king's lords; The pastoral government and other three, especially the pastoral government and the governor's office, are the real power departments in the country.

The military and political affairs of Dingxi are handled by these six departments. The high-ranking officials of these six prefectures, if they take out any one, they are all prominent in the government and the opposition.

It is no longer routine for Song Hong to handle this case, and Song Hong has even more mobilized the people and convened these departments to discuss together, which is even more eccentric.

The subordinate was puzzled.

This is the reason why he can only be a subordinate official, but Song Hong can be an internal history.

From the moment Linghu Feng gave the order and ordered Xin Er to escort Zhang Jin and his son into the capital, Song Hong probably guessed Ling Hufeng's thoughts.

What Ling Hufeng said on the surface was: "Jiankang Zhang's family, a famous family in the country, Zhang Qing, a big farmer, Gu Zhihu, Zhang Jin's case, the government and the opposition are paying attention, the county is not suitable for trial, and the threshold will be sent to the royal capital, and Fu Yousi will push it back", but in fact, Song Hongdu expected that this was just an excuse, and Ling Hufeng was afraid that he had other plans.

Song Hong is the patriarch of the Song family in Longzhou.

The Song family and Zhang, Yin, Koji, and Pan four families, and for the Longdi first-class high gate, its clan in the past dynasties of 2,000 stones, for politics and imperial power these things, he heard and saw, since childhood often by his ancestors, father and his teachings, immersed in the meantime.

When the township was determined, not only because of its family prestige, but also because of its own outstanding, was rated as a rare second product in Longzhou by the county, at the age of seventeen, in the court, the county, and then back to the court, and he was close to the mandate of heaven, more than 30 years of political experience, and he gained a wealth of hands-on experience.

It can be said that Song Hong's political acumen is quite outstanding.

As he guessed, Ling Hu Feng was indeed a drunkard.

This was also seen by Lieutenant Lang, the lieutenant, the big farmer, and the chiefs of the pastoral mansion, the governor's mansion, and the Taiwei mansion.

After Song Hong's transmission arrived, except for Zhang Hun, a great farmer, and Shi Shi, the governor of Taiwei's Mansion, who each sent a subordinate, the rest were all officials in person.

Zhang Hun and Taiwei did not come, as Song Hong expected.

Zhang Hun is to avoid suspicion.

The long history of Taiwei is because the position of "Taiwei" held by the king of Dingxi is just an honorary title that exalts his own dignity, and the officials in the palace do not have much real power, because there is no need to participate in such matters.

When all the people from all the provinces came, Song Hong went to the hall and greeted them.

There were four governors of the provinces who came.

They are Chen Sun, the lieutenant of Lang, the lieutenant Lu Shuang, the Mufu Zhizhong, and the governor's left chief Shi Song Fang.

Among them, Koji Shuang is Koji Shuo's younger brother, and Song Fang is Song Hong's subordinate.

The two of them, like Song Hong, were promoted to the position because of their merits after Ling Hufeng ascended the throne.

Among several people, the one who is currently the most trustworthy is Shi Song Fang, the left chief of the governor's mansion.

Linghu Feng's strategy to collect Hu is this person's suggestion.

Song Fang is Song Hong's son, and Ling Hufeng is the same age, they knew each other at a young age, and the two are "friends of the general horn".

After the death of Ling Hu Feng's brother, Ling Hu Feng controlled the court situation, whether it was political and military measures, or the acquisition of scholars, all of which were quite helpful from the Song side. Behind Linghu Feng's plot to usurp the throne, there is also a shadow of his pouting, which is an out-and-out "Feng Party", the reason why he was not killed by Ling Hu Yong during the escape of Ling Hu Feng was because he was informed early, abandoned the official and hid in the home of a friend, so he was spared.

Linghu Feng killed back to the royal capital, and the Song side responded to the inside, first persuaded Song Hong, who was not engaged in the pastoral mansion at the time, and then lobbied the important ministers of the court and the central government, and connected with the friends, which led to the scene of the ministers descending to welcome Linghu Feng.

After Linghu Feng ascended the throne, he rewarded him for his merits, promoted Song Hong to the history of the kingdom, and appointed Song Fang as the governor of the left long history.

The two uncles and nephews, one political and one army, are powerful in the government and the opposition.

Everyone has seen the ceremony.

Song Fang and the others each sat down alone, and Zhang Hun and the two people sent by Taiwei Changshi were humble, without seats, and stood in the hall.

Song Hong sat on the main seat, showed the order of Linghu Feng, and read it to everyone, the content was very simple, just two sentences, and said, "The Zhang family is famous, why is it a thief?" Lonely does not want to punish crimes, but the people are not convinced; Internal History"; After reading it, he said: "Jiankang Taishou Xinjun gave Zhang Jin and his son to sneak into the Lushui Hu chieftain, and after being checked by the division, I thought that the facts were true. The king sent this case to me for discussion, I know how to be shallow, I am afraid that I am biased, if there is a mistake, it will damage the wisdom of the king, so I invited you to come, I want to hear your opinions. ”

Song Fang's face is narrow and long, his cheekbones are high, and he can't be called handsome, but he is rarely a ranger, and he is kneeling on the couch at this time, with a straight waist and eyes, and he looks left and right, and he is a little resolute.

He was the first to speak, and he raised his head and said: "Collusion with Chief Hu, plotting to cause chaos, is a capital crime." The country has a clear law, and the party is stupid, I don't know what else is there to talk about? ”

Song Hong remained silent, and asked Chen Sun, Lu Shuang, Pan Kuan and others, and said, "What do you think? ”

Pan Kuan is the father of Pan Dan.

He got married early and gave birth to children early, so although he was already at the age of standing, he was not yet fifty this year, and he was well maintained, his face was ruddy, and he had no beard under his chin, and he only looked like he was thirty-four or five years old.

Yan Kuan disagreed with Song Fang's opinion, and said slowly: "Changshi's words are fallacious. ”

Song Fang said, "Oh? Dare to ask the prince, where is the fallacy? ”

"Zhang Wengong lives in seclusion, is innocent, has a good reputation, and is famous all over the world; The Zhang family is also a dynasty in China. How could such a noble man of such a noble clan make trouble? It doesn't make sense. It is hasty to condemn him to death just because of the testimony of one of his family's doormen. ”

Song Fang laughed.

Yan Kuan asked, "Why is Changshi laughing?" What am I saying, is there anything funny? ”

"In the world, hermits are inherent, but there are many people who sell their reputations. Zhang Jin's refusal to enter the ranks is nothing more than raising his own value, which shows that his mind is insidious. 'Innocent and high', I have never seen it! ”

Song Fang's words were pressing, but he didn't think about it, but he still spoke slowly, and said: "How did Changshi know that Zhang Wengong's refusal to enter the office was to raise his own value, not his original intention?" ”

The reason for not being objective is subjective. Unless Zhang Jin is self-aware, his innocence and fame and reputation are just outsiders' speculation, where can there be any real evidence? Song Fang was dumbfounded.

Song Hong asked: "However, with the public opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

"That letter is the handwriting of his guest, and although it is not sealed, it is indeed possible that it has been stolen. It is enough to punish its guests and warn them for carelessness. ”

Song Fang sneered and said: "This case has been carefully checked by Yousi, not only does it have the confession of the doorman, but also the confession of the Taoist general, the case is clear, it is already a certainty, and there is no doubt about it." Where does 'misappropriation' and 'carelessness' come from? It's ridiculous! ”

Song Hong asked Chen Sun and Lu Shuang for their opinions.

Chen Sun was vague and didn't say anything.

Lang Zhongling is in charge of the palace guards, praises the prestige of the minister, and preaches the teachings, etc., similar to the high-ranking officials under the Jiangzuo Dynasty, "entering the service and embracing the canopy", and is the close attendant of the lord. Among the three kings of the kingdom, he has the closest relationship with the sovereign.

Song Hong knew that this Lang Zhong Ling Chen Sun's participation in the meeting today must have come as Ling Hufeng's eyes and ears, and he did not put forward his opinions, it should be to observe and judge the attitude of the ministers.

Koji Shuang's physique is not like Koji Shuo, Koji Shuo is thin, he is strong, but the two look very similar, both have Chinese faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He glanced at Chen Sun, who was ambiguous and didn't say anything substantive for a long time, turned his eyes to Song Hong, and said loudly: "It is precisely because the Zhang family is a royal family of our country and is tired of the country's favor, so Zhang Jin's father and son should be severely punished!" Not only should the two of them be severely punished, but the big farmer Zhang Gong should also be dealt with! ”

When the words of "Big Farmer Zhang Gong" came out, the Zhang Hun subordinate under the accompanying hall heard this, his face changed sharply, and he said in his heart: "I was actually expected by Zhang Gong!" Sure enough, someone wanted to implicate Zhang Gong in this case. ”

Before he came, Zhang Hun explained to him, only listening, not speaking. Because although he was anxious, he could only keep his mouth shut, and his eyes were firmly focused on Yan Kuan. Zhang Hun told him that among the ministers such as Lang Zhongling, it is estimated that only one can help.

Yan Kuan still said in a slow tone: "The lieutenant's words are incomprehensible. What does this have to do with Zhang Gong? ”

"Zhang Hun and Zhang Jin, brothers of the same birth; Is there a brother who acts rebelliously, and the brother has nothing to do? ”

"Zhang Wengong is at home, Zhang Gong is at home; Wen Gong's matter, how does Zhang Gong know? ”

"Plotting rebellion, destroying the family and destroying the family; If there is no Zhang Hun's instructions, Zhang Jinyan dares to do it? The king also punished the violence, swept away the troubled day, responded to the people's wishes, and the people jumped and competed to meet them; Linghu Yong gave the head, Song Gong surrendered, the ministers set things right, sealed the seal, and asked the king to ascend the throne three times, but only this Zhang Hun was reluctant at that time. He must be afraid of the king's investigation, and he is hinting at Zhang Jin and plotting to make trouble! ”

Yan Kuan asked slowly: "The king is still in the capital, the lieutenant is still in Yuanjun, the situation in the court, Zhang Gong is unwilling to Yunyun, I don't know how the lieutenant knows?" ”

Before being promoted to lieutenant, Lu Shuang was a county guard in Longdong and was under the command of Lu Shuo. When Koji Shuo led the troops to help Linghu Feng attack the royal capital, he left Koji Shuang and others in Longdong to town the frontier, and he did not join the army.

Lu Shuang said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. Although I was not in the royal capital that day, I have heard about it. ”

He chased after him and asked, "Who did you hear about it?" ”

Koji Shuang said angrily: "Is this important? ”

"Isn't this important?"

Koji Shuang glared angrily, and looked back leisurely.

"Zhang Hun is unwilling" was originally a fabrication by Lu Shuang, and when he asked the source, he had "no comment".

Song Fang stepped forward and said: "Zhang Jin was instructed by Zhang Hun, although there is no solid evidence for the time being, think about it carefully, it is reasonable!" ”

Pan Kuan said: "'Reasonable' may not be able to convince the public. ”

Song Fang and Lu Shuang suffered defeats in front of Pan Kuan one after another. Song Fang simply ignored him at this time, and said to Song Hong: "Fang is still that opinion, Zhang Jin and his son can be punished." Zhang Hun Shi can also be killed, but due to the lack of evidence, he can be removed from his post and left to wait for his fate! ”

When he said this, the crowd heard two coughs.

It looks like it's Chen Sun.

Song Hong asked, "Does Gong Chen have anything to say?" ”

Chen Sun touched his beard, his eyes turned around the faces of everyone in the hall, and at the end, he lowered his eyes to the tea bowl on the case, and slowly replied, "No." ”

Koji Shuang and the others looked at each other.

Song Hong said in his heart: "I don't cough in the morning, I don't cough in the evening, but I cough twice at this time." It seems that what Zhixiang said is the meaning of the king. ”

Zhixiang is the word of Song Fang.

Everyone looked at Song Hong and waited for him to speak.

Song Hong said in his heart: "Zhang Jin's father and son's case, how can I not come to formulate a punishment." The king gave me this case to handle, and it seems that it is indeed as I expected, and its intention is in the Zhang family. It's just that the Yin family has fallen, and the Zhang family can't be folded anymore. ”

His face sank like water, and no one could see his mental activity.

Lu Shuang and the others were impatient, and called him: "Song Gong? ”

Song Hong then expressed his attitude and said: "What Gong Yan said is good, Zhang Gong lives in the dynasty, how can he know about Zhang Jin?" Moreover, in Zhang Jin's case, there is only one seal of his seal, and there is indeed a possibility of theft. As for Zhang Daojiang's confession, under Miki, why can't he ask for it? ”

The more Song Fang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What does the public mean?" ”

"I will be the king of the book, and I will explain this situation, how to deal with it, and finally ask the king to decide."

After a long day of arguing, this result was reached.

Koji Shuang was not satisfied, and threw up his sleeves and left. Chen Sun silently left.

Yan Kuan took a deep look at Song Hong and said: "The country is my nephew, and I am a duke." ”

Song Hong also shook it and said, "I should do my best to be impartial." ”

After Yan Kuan, Zhang Hun and the two officials sent by Taiwei Changshi left, Song Fang complained about Song Hong and said: "The Zhang family is rebellious, this is a great opportunity, and it is time to take advantage of the situation to take Zhang Hun down, but how can my father favor the Zhang family?" ”

When the right time was discussing, Song Hong's expression had not changed, and he showed anger at the moment, and reprimanded: "Huang Nu, do you want to destroy my family?" ”

Song Fang's nickname is Huang Nu.

Song Fang said, "Father, why do you say that? ”

"Why do you insist on severely punishing Zhang Jin, and you still blame Zhang Hun for this matter?"

Song Fang was straightforward and said: "Since the founding of Dingxi, Zhang, Suo, Koji, Yan, Yin and my family, and for your surname, the governors of all prefectures, the generals of military towns, and I have more than a few families. And my family has always been pressed down by the Zhang and Suo clans.

"Suo's aids and abusers, disobedience to the king, in the court almost all killed, now exists, only its small sect branches, is no longer enough to worry about. Only this Zhang family, the children are still all over the court, counties and counties, and now take this opportunity to take Zhang Hun, which can hit the power of the Zhang family, and my family will replace it.

"This is a good thing for the Light Gate, Father, how do you say that I want to destroy my family?"

Song Hong said: "Do you also know that since the founding of the country, the surnames Zhang and Suo Zhu have been with my family and are the valve family? As you said, now the Soo's has been defeated, and the Yin has few good materials, and it has been declining in recent years; The only people who value the government and the opposition are Zhang, Pan, Koji and my family.

"The great king, the male lord also; Koji family, the king's uncle. If you fall into the Zhang family again, only with my family and the Fan family, do you think you can still support the court? I am afraid that my family will follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family! ”

He taught Song Fang, "Just now, before I left the rule of China, I even said something like 'the country and the dynasty are my nephew', what is 'my nephew'?" Don't you understand? Haven't you figured out the political path between the lord and the minister? How can you be greedy for the small profits in front of you and put my family in danger in the future? After a pause, he added, "If Zhang Danong is defeated, don't you pity your aunt?" ”

When the corporal clan is married, they only marry other surnames of the same kind. Zhang, Song and other families, as the first-class scholars in Longzhou, usually only marry each other. Zhang Hun's wife is Song Hong's sister-in-law, and Song Fang's sister-in-law.

Song Fang disagreed, although he did not contradict Song Hong, he thought in his heart: "The husband seeks power, and the wife can still give up; An aunt, what a pity! Father, a woman's kindness! ”
