Chapter 20: The Early Dynasty Complaint

At three o'clock on the fifth watch of the next day, the morning dynasty was held on time and on time in the Zichen Palace.

Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting on the imperial chair, was wearing a relatively light regular dress this morning, wearing a soap yarn folded scarf on his head, a light yellow robe on his body, a jade red belt tied around his waist, and soap-patterned boots on his feet.

On the whole, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen is dressed very elegantly, without too many patterns, the style is simple and simple, and he abandons the gorgeous clothes worn by the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, which is particularly approachable.

A group of civil and military ministers, facing the officials, holding a wat board in their hands, standing under the hall, but the color of the clothes he wears is different, divided into red, purple, and green.

After the ministers of civil and military affairs under the hall worshipped, Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, asked: "Zhuqing, what are the important things to discuss today, let's report them one by one!" ”

Just after Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's voice fell, standing in the imperial history of the hall, King Gongchen, as the official rank of the third grade, was wearing a vermilion robe, I saw him take the lead, holding the wat board, bowing down and saying: "Please Your Majesty, there is an important matter to play." ”

Zhao Zhen, Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, bowed his head slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "If Qing has anything to do, in front of all the Qing, just say it." ”

Wang Gongchen, who was holding the wat board, straightened up slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, what the ministers have played is on these recitals, and I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

After speaking, Wang Gongchen picked up the wat board in his hand, returned to the train, squatted down, hugged the large stack of music folds placed on his seat in his arms, went out of the queue again, and put this large stack of music folds on the aisle between the trains.

Because Wang Gongchen entered the Zichen Hall and waited earlier when he was in the early court, he had already spent a lot of effort to deliberately move it here from the Yushitai, and the civil and military ministers who entered the Zichen Hall later did not know about this matter.

Even the civil and military officials who came to the Zichen Hall before Wang Gongchen didn't know what was written in the large stack of folds he was holding, even if a curious person stepped forward to ask, Wang Gongchen just smiled and kept silent.

At present, Wang Gongchen moved this large stack of concerts to the aisle in the middle of the train and presented it in front of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who was originally sitting in the hall, saw Wang Gongchen as if he was doing a trick, and suddenly a large stack of folds appeared, and suddenly, he was a little uncalm, and immediately stood up from the royal chair, staring at the large stack of folds placed on the floor in front of Wang Gongchen.

"Wang Qing, you have come up with so many twists and turns this morning, what are you doing?" Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who stood up, was stunned for a moment, and then asked Wang Gongchen, who was standing in front of a large stack of folds, in a puzzled tone.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Gongchen once again held the wat with both hands, bowed his head, and finally replied straight to the point: "Your Majesty, a group of soldiers from the Street Division, yesterday they inspected the streets and alleys of Tokyo and occupied the streets, and identified a large number of illegal buildings. In the East and West Hanlin Lane alone, there are no less than 200 buildings that have been identified as violating regulations, and more than 100 residences of officials stationed in Beijing are involved.

"What makes the officials stationed in Beijing who live in Hanlin Lane feel even more disgusting is that Si Cheng, whose name is Wang Hao, has written the eye-catching and large word 'demolition' on the exterior walls of the illegal buildings identified by their street division.

Not only that, but this Wang Sicheng also asked that the illegal buildings that were written with the word 'demolition' written on them be demolished by each household before the time of today, and the streets and alleys should be restored to their original state. Otherwise, he will personally take the people of the street division to the demolition.

"As the official position of the Imperial History, the minister is in charge of the Imperial History Observatory at the behest of His Majesty. He shouldn't have been involved in the impeachment of a small street priest. However, the large and small Beijing officials who lived in Hanlin Lane wrote complaints and handed them to the Imperial Historical Tower, and the ministers did not dare to adjudicate on this matter without authorization, so they were brought to your Majesty to read and see and decide on this matter. ”

After listening to Wang Gongchen tell the ins and outs of what was played, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen sat back on the royal chair, sighed lightly, and instructed Zhang Maoze, the deputy head of the inner chamberlain who was close to him, and said softly: "Deputy Zhang knows, you go and get those pieces, I want to see what they have written." ”

After Zhang Mao folded the stack, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen flipped through about a cup of tea at a glance, and then stopped, and couldn't help but sigh, not thinking of how to solve this matter.

Only when Song Renzong Zhao Zhen frowned, he immediately rushed to Zhang Maoze, who was standing in front of him, and deliberately ordered loudly: "Deputy Zhang knows, you take the folds that I haven't read yet, and show them to the Zhuqing standing in the hall, and I will listen to their opinions on this matter." ”

Zhang Maoze, who was standing in front of him, first bowed down and answered "yes", and then walked slowly to the hall with the stack of music folds, and distributed them to the civil and military ministers who participated in today's morning dynasty, at least one of them.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, asked: "Zhu Qing must have finished reading the content of the recital in his hand, and I hope you will express your opinions and express your own opinions." The old rule is that you can speak freely, know everything and say everything, and I will listen to you, and I will not condemn you. ”

Yan Shu, who is known as the "emperor" of the dynasty, is now not only a privy envoy, but also a Tongping Zhangshi, and a veritable prime minister, he saw that even if his student, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen spoke, the civil and military ministers who participated in the early dynasty did not dare to be the first to speak, so he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

So, Yan Shu, who was dressed in a purple official robe, walked out of the train with both hands, facing Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong who was sitting in the hall, and clearly stated his attitude: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that my Great Song Dynasty has only been a hundred years since Taizu founded the country, and the population of Tokyo City is now more than one million.

"Nowadays, in addition to the Imperial Palace, there are also inner and outer cities, and the establishment of the capital water supervisor is to govern dozens of large and small rivers and streams such as the Bianhe, Caihe, and Jinshui River that enter the city, and the establishment of the Street Division is to clean and tidy the thousands of streets and alleys in Tokyo.

"Previously, in order to prevent encroachments and encroachments, 'table trees' were erected on both sides of the streets. It also included penalties in the "Song Criminal Code", although it had a certain effect. However, as the population of Tokyo grew, it became extremely complicated to manage thousands of streets and alleys. Although the Street Division has an establishment of 500 people, it is not possible to punish all the street trespassers.

"Nowadays, my Great Song Dynasty has the Khitan of the Liao State on the northern border, and has been fighting with the Western Xia Party on the northwest border for many years. If we can't eliminate the malpractices in internal affairs, our Great Song Dynasty will naturally fall into the dilemma of internal and external difficulties. Today, the things mentioned by the prince in the imperial history can be said to be appropriate.

"The old minister thinks that the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty should start from the capital Tokyo. If even the occupation of streets and alleys cannot be strictly enforced, how can we talk about rejuvenating the country and eliminating evils? Anyone who lives in the city of Tokyo, whether it is a government residence or a private house, should be treated equally, and Hallym Lane is no exception. ”

When Yan Shu talked freely, he immediately let the civil and military ministers on the left and right sides of the class talk about it, and most of them felt very stunned.

However, among them, there were also a few courtiers who nodded in approval after listening to Yan Shu's remarks, they were: Privy Deputy Envoy Fu Bi, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Baozheng, and Ouyang Xiu, who served as the Right Zhengyan and the Governor of the Imperial System.
