Chapter 35: Be a peacemaker
At three o'clock on the fifth watch of the next day, Wang Hao, who was about to embark on the road of "Friends of Women", was still lying in the dormitory in the backyard of the Yamen of the street division, and in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, the early dynasty had been held as scheduled.
Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was in the morning today, he was wearing a pale yellow official uniform, sitting upright in the hall, sweeping away the haze of the previous two days, and a long-lost smile appeared on his cheeks.
I saw Song Renzong Zhao Zhen glanced at it, and after the civil and military courtiers who stood in the two classes under the hall, he opened his mouth to ask: "Today's court meeting, I don't know what the ministers have to discuss?" โ
As soon as Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's question fell, Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, who was wearing a vermilion official robe, held a wat in both hands, came out in line, and said: "The minister has something to ask Your Majesty." โ
Seeing that the person who took the lead in the early court on this day turned out to be Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen couldn't wait to agree: "Qing has something to play, say it quickly." โ
Immediately afterwards, Bao Zheng said: "The minister has a great happy event to invite Your Majesty, the minister has supervised the street department to investigate and deal with the illegal buildings that encroach on the street and occupy the road in the past two days.
"If it goes well, before noon today, all the illegal buildings marked in the streets and alleys of Tokyo will be successfully demolished, and Your Majesty is requested to check out."
For Song Renzong Zhao Zhen at this time, although he listened to the report of Princess Zhao Huiruo of Fukang last night, he learned that in the Donghuamen Street Market, the most prosperous place in Tokyo, many shop residents took the initiative to demolish the illegal buildings painted with the word "demolition" by the street division.
As the so-called Yiye Zhiqiu, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen made a decisive judgment at that time, that is, the military order made by Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion in the court two days ago has a very high probability of being realized in advance.
Although Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen already knew something about this matter, he was still very happy to see Bao Zheng say this matter in front of the court's ministers.
Song Renzong Zhao Zhen of Longyan Dayue first laughed twice, and then said half-jokingly: "Hehe, Bao Qing, the matter you asked for today is indeed a happy event compared to the war on the northwest border.
"It seems that two days ago, I shouldn't have promised you that within ten days, the street division would have demolished all the illegal buildings that encroached on the streets and alleys in Tokyo, and you should have been completed within three days."
It can be seen that Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's joy can be described as overflowing.
The civil and military ministers who were listed on the left and right of the hall saw that Song Renzong was in a good mood at this time, and naturally no one would come to ruin the fun at this time.
However, it is unlikely that anyone will sweep the prosperity of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, but there are a few people who are not very interested, especially the imperial historians above the court, who seem to think that it is their duty to question everything.
No, Wang Gongchen, who was in charge of the Imperial History Observatory as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, after Yin entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he took the wat out of the ranks, sang a contrarian tune with Bao Zheng, and questioned: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not too early to be happy in the demolition of the illegal buildings that encroach on the streets and occupy the roads in the city of Tokyo.
"According to the minister's secret investigation in the past two days, the Kaifeng Prefecture has posted notices at the intersections of streets and alleys in Tokyo, forcing the illegal buildings that have been written by the street division with the word 'demolition' written on them to demolish them within three days, and the deadline is at noon today.
"Although many people have demolished their illegal buildings since yesterday, they are also unwilling. If they are not willing, they may only demolish it temporarily, and as time goes on, once they relax their vigilance against illegal buildings that encroach on the streets, it is very likely that the families of these illegal buildings will make a comeback. If they check again, they will temporarily dismantle it. The minister thought that this matter might treat the symptoms but not the root cause. โ
Just now, after listening to Bao Zheng's invitation, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, and now, when he listened to Wang Gongchen's speech, he not only felt very harsh, but at the same time, the smile on his cheeks disappeared, and he turned worried.
Before Wang Gongchen finished speaking, the ministers who participated in the court meeting began to whisper in the hall, because they wore flippers on their heads, the people on the left and right could not talk to each other, and the people in the front and back columns were not subject to this restriction.
Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who had a worried look on his face, immediately said impatiently: "Zhuqing, don't discuss privately in the hall, if you have something to say, go out of class and speak freely." If there is anything inappropriate, I will forgive and be innocent. โ
Seeing that Zhao Guanjia said this, Chen Zhizhong and Liu Yuanyu, who had a deep personal friendship with Wang Gongchen and were also officials, followed closely and invariably echoed what the other talent Wang Gongchen said.
Ouyang Xiu, who is the right speaker, is also an official, but it is difficult to find a refutation in a short period of time for Wang Gongchen, who is both his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, but he is also worried about such a situation in the future.
Yan Shu, who was at the head of the left class, saw that Wang Gongchen, Chen Zhizhong and Liu Yuanyu, the three officials of the imperial history platform, were above the court, and formed a siege on Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and as the ruler of the dynasty, he was no longer silent.
After the right secretary Liu Yuanyu finished talking with the front foot, Yan Shu came out with a wat on the back foot, and started a round for Bao Zheng, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Fang Cai, the king of the imperial history, Chen Zhizhong, the right counselor, and Liu Yuanyu, the right counselor, what the three of them said this time is not unreasonable. In order to prevent problems in the future, it is necessary to prevent such things from happening in advance. โ
At this point, Yan Shu paused twice, then changed his words and continued: "However, the top priority at the moment is to demolish all the illegal buildings that encroach on the streets and alleys of Tokyo within a few days. After the demolition is completed, it is not too late to come up with a solution that treats both the symptoms and the root cause as soon as possible, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear. โ
In the face of the repeated speeches of the three people in the imperial history, Wang Gongchen, the right counselor Chen Zhizhong, and the right counselor Liu Yuanyu, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's mind began to waver, and he was undecided and some could not make up his mind in the matter of investigating and dealing with the illegal buildings in the streets and alleys of Tokyo.
Thanks to Yan Shu's appearance in a peaceful way at this time, Zhao Zhen, who was originally in a dilemma, finally found a middle-of-the-road solution.
In the eyes of the vast majority of officials who participated in the early dynasty, Yan Shu's remarks were impartial and fair, and others naturally had nothing to say.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen, Song Renzong, who had a fixed opinion, finally said: "Fang Cai, what Zhu Qing said when he came out of the class has a certain truth. I believe that the demolition of illegal buildings in the streets and alleys of Tokyo and the prevention of the resurgence of street encroachment and occupation are indispensable.
"I will continue to supervise and assist the Street Division and have full authority to deal with the above two matters. Ling Yan Zhizai, deputy privy envoy Fu Bi Erqing, assisted the Kaifeng Mansion and the Street Division to solve the problems of manpower and material resources.
"I hope that the Kaifeng Mansion and the Street Division will come up with a feasible plan to block the invasion of the street and occupy the road within ten days, and submit it to me for my attention, and on the court for the ministers to discuss."
