Chapter 629: Crisis Comes

When the prisoner car escorting Lin Han entered Jiangning City, the officialdom of Jiangning City immediately caused a sensation among the scum of Buddhism. Accompanying Lin Han was the magistrate of Chongren County. Because he had previously transcribed the file from Li Denian, coupled with the investigation of the right division, Chongrenzhi County's method of tampering with the file did not come in handy at all. Soon, Liu Mao saw through the strangeness. What's more, this Chongren County Commander has a close relationship with Lin Han, and he is also involved in the misappropriation of treasury silver, so Song Zheng will naturally not be polite.

However, Lin Han is no better than Lu Bingxuan, although the latter has a backstage, he is just the brother-in-law of the third prince of the Guogong Mansion, and he is not the real one. Lin Han is sturdy and is Xu Yinshun's son-in-law.

Since the fall of Ji Yong, the post of the head of the household department has been vacant, and Xu Yinshun has been in charge of the household department as the right attendant. The Xu family is also a super family, but the right division caught someone's son-in-law in Jiangning City, which is a solid slap in the face!

On the third day of Song Zheng's arrival in Jiangning City, Mu Yu and Yuan Rong returned to Jiangning with another silverfish, this time it was Shanzhou Zhizhou who fell from the horse.

Shanzhou is a smaller state in Shandong Road, with three counties under its jurisdiction. This Zhizhou doesn't have any background, but he is very greedy. After Mu Yu and Yuan Rong accompanied another criminal department Lang Zhong to Shandong Road, they took down the governor of Shanzhou without much effort, and by the way, they also captured the magistrate of Chengwu County under the rule of Shanzhou. These corrupt officials don't have Lin Han's ability to borrow money to make money, all they do is scrape the ground, "the sky is three feet high", which is prepared for these people.

In just one month, the right division took three governors, two counties, and one county magistrate committed suicide, and the government and the opposition were immediately shaken. The officials of various ministries discussed a lot, and all kinds of snowflakes flew to the desk of the little emperor. This time, the piggyback department was also unlucky.

The direction of these twists and turns is naturally not whether corrupt officials should be taken down, but the duty of the right division to talk about things. Some say that the right division has the right to take people, what is the use of the criminal department? Some people said that the right division was chaotic and unreasonable, and should be abolished. Others said that Song Zheng was just the supervisor of the right division, and he had no responsibility to manage things other than the right division.

Later, these attacks intensified. Some pointed the finger at Song Zheng himself, and turned over the congratulatory gifts he received when Song Zheng was the champion. Because Song Zheng arrested corrupt officials and confiscated family property at every turn, some people said that the right division was collecting money in the name of investigating corrupt officials. What's more, it is said that Song Zheng is fabricating evidence, and he is arrogant.

Despite the fact that the Criminal Department was a shield, Song Zheng himself still became the public enemy of all the bureaucrats. The only happy thing is the people of Jiangning, in their eyes, Song Zheng has almost become the Bao Gong of Daqi, and the right division has become the Qingtian Yamen. The common people do not care how the officials fight for power, as long as there are bureaucrats who fall from power, they are happy.

Even so, the huge pressure made the little emperor a little flustered. On the fifth day of the seventh month, Song Zheng was once again announced to Miyagi Xizhai.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Song Zheng was startled. Although he knew that many people impeached him, he did not expect that there would be so many concerts. Not only was the table in front of the little emperor full, but even there were three stacks under the table.

"Master Song, look at it!" Xiao Ying smiled bitterly, "I asked people to gather all the excerpts for the impeachment of the right division here, and Xiao Guizi counted it, a total of five hundred and fifty-two. The above is just sent today, advocating to kill you to thank the world. ”

Song Zheng was shocked in his heart, these people finally showed the slogan, and they wanted to get rid of themselves quickly.

"What does the Holy One think?"

"This ......" The little emperor was not very easy to speak, after all, such a rush to achieve success was the result of his urging. According to Song Zheng's original meaning, it is necessary to take it step by step, first take one to test the reaction of the officials, and then slowly figure it out. Like boiling a frog in warm water, it took two years to first rectify the Right Division, and then to grasp it from the lowest level of the county magistrate, and slowly make the entire bureaucratic class accept the existence of the Right Division.

Originally, bureaucrats at all levels knew that there was a dark eagle, which was controlled by the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister's Government used it to check some officials. Huang Yuandu's method was to provide information from the dark eagle, and then the criminal department came forward to take down the prisoner. The means are upright, and the bureaucrats are used to it. Everyone knows that being an official is also a dangerous industry.

It's good now, the right division has not yet gained a firm foothold, and his own affairs have not yet been solved, and the little emperor is in a hurry to show his authority. As soon as the backlash of the bureaucracy came up, the little emperor could not bear it.

After holding it for a long time, Xiao Ying said slowly, "Last night, the Queen Mother sent me a message asking me to track down the corruption of the right division, and I don't know which bastard she listened to the rumors of the latest chapter of the arcade era." And...... And tomorrow will go to court, the queen mother ...... The Queen Mother wants to listen to the government. ”

Song Zheng sneered in his heart, this is probably the real reason why the little emperor is a little cowardly. Because Huang Jiao is obsessed with "Buddhist things", she basically doesn't appear in the court to listen to politics, and generally things are decided by the little emperor. Of course, this decision is relative, and many things still depend on Huang Yuandu and various Shangshu. If it can't be decided, the little emperor sent a message to Huang Jiao, and the mother and son discussed. The edict was issued to the outside world, and Huang Jiao still had the final say. Despite this, Huang Jiao did not go to court, and the little emperor made some self-confidence inflated.

Now, as soon as he heard that Huang Jiao was going to the court to listen to the government and exercise the power of the queen mother, the little emperor couldn't hold on anymore, so he summoned Song Zheng to find a way.

Although he had opinions about the little emperor, Song Zheng still had to be anxious about what the master was anxious about. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, can the Wangfu, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Guogong Mansion have a concerto to send?" ”

"There is no palace and no prime minister's mansion, but there is one on the side of the Guogong Mansion. Guogong didn't attack Song Shi, but he was worried about the chaos of the court, so he suggested that I check it carefully, and his tone was similar to that of the Queen Mother. ”

This old horseman! Song Zheng was secretly angry in his heart.

"The prince of the country is really loyal to the country! After so many years, Guogong is just the last thank-you speech or something, and the first time he has been involved in political affairs, our right secretary has a lot of face. ”

"Master Song!" Hearing Song Zheng's strange words, the little emperor glanced at him and said helplessly, "Let's think of a way, how to deal with it tomorrow." ”

Song Zheng scratched his head, "Holy Lord, I want to ask the minister, if it is really impossible to deal with it this time, what does the Holy Lord plan to do?" Did you kill your ministers? He wanted to take the opportunity to find out the little emperor's intentions, whether he was determined to defend himself.

"Of course not! This time it was my idea, not to mention that the corrupt officials investigated have conclusive evidence, how can I kill you! The little emperor hurriedly said.

"But those people are going to kill me! What to do? Song Zheng asked again, but his heart was warm.

"I ...... At most, I will let you leave the right division first and go to the Shu Kingdom. "The little emperor is weak and authentic.

"Envoy to Shu?" Song Zheng's heart sudden, he had never heard of an envoy. He looked at Xiao Ying, who avoided his gaze. Song Zheng suddenly realized in his heart: it turned out that the little emperor had arranged for Langzhong to be named in the Ministry of Rites, and the purpose was to let himself go to Shu.

At this time, what else can you do when you go to Shu? Song Zheng thought about the stakes and began to sweat on his forehead: it turned out that he was going to take risks

The trade agreement between Daqi and Dajin has been signed, and Wanyan Zhangzong had just left Jiangning four days ago. Next, after the weather turns cooler, Jin Qi will join forces to attack Guanzhong. The offensive route of the Great Qi was Tongguan, and along the south bank of the Wei River, it went straight to Chang'an. From the geographical point of view, Chang'an is the southwest corner of the Guanzhong Plain. After crossing the Qinling Mountains in a southwesterly direction, you can reach Hanzhong, which is the northern gateway to the Sichuan.

Back then, Western Xia did not have no plans to plot against Shu. It's just that due to the pressure of the border passes of Daqi and Dajin, it is really difficult to return to Shangchuan, so after occupying Hanzhong, Western Xia did not enter Shu, but reconciled with Shu and joined forces to fight against Daqi.

When Daqi was about to march into Chang'an, if Western Xia received the help of Shu, it would be equivalent to having a backer and a way out. And at this time, sending Song Zheng to Shu must be to drive a wedge between Shu and Western Xia, lest they provide help to Guanzhong. Otherwise, the attack of the Great Qi army will be more difficult.

The reason why Song Zheng was sweating was that Shu was not a fool, how could he tolerate Daqi, who had always been plotting against him, to occupy important places in Hanzhong! You must know that almost all of the regimes that occupied Shu in history were broken through from the north, and if Song Zheng really went, it would definitely have no effect.

What's more, the ultimate goal of Daqi's use of troops in Guanzhong is to aim at the territory of Shu. It's like a hooligan blocking a beautiful girl, and the hooligan starts to take off the girl's clothes, but he wants to tell people that he won't touch the other party's body. Isn't this self-deception? The key is that Shu is not a soft girl, and people have soldiers and food, so they have to react no matter what.

In this way, Song Zheng is in danger. If you take into account that there is a big enemy Jiang Kui over there, it is almost a certain death.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng was like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head, and his whole body trembled: "Conspiracy!" It's a conspiracy! His words almost came out loud.

Xiao Ying knew that she had leaked her mouth and was about to make amends. Seeing Song Zheng's reaction so big now, he was stunned, "Master Song, what conspiracy?" ”

He tried to keep his eyes under control and not to look at the little emperor. He finally understood Xiao Ying's plan now. Xiao Ying was in a hurry to let herself catch the corrupt officials and erect the authority of the right division first. If the right division is attacked, he will take the opportunity to move himself out of the right division and be taken over by Shui Ding. Then let himself send an envoy to Shu to reduce the resistance for Daqi to march into Guanzhong, so as to achieve the so-called grand wish of opening up the territory and expanding the territory.

If these can really be realized, then the little emperor will not only establish authority in the imperial court, but also open up territory, thus laying a good foundation for Xiao Ying to officially govern.

It's just that what the little emperor didn't expect was that the reaction of the imperial court was so great. These twists and turns made the little emperor feel a lot of pressure, and Huang Jiao spoke again, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control. There was no way, so the little emperor came to himself to discuss countermeasures. It's just that he can't stay out of the matter, otherwise, the little emperor may really be tearful under the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and Huang Jiao.

Song Zheng took a deep breath, "Holy Lord, have you discussed this matter with the prince and the prime minister?" He originally wanted to ask, in the current situation of the Right Division, whether the little emperor had discussed countermeasures with the most important military and political leaders of the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, Xiao Ying would be mistaken, thinking that what Song Zheng asked was to transfer him to the Ministry of Rites as a langzhong in preparation for the envoy to Shu. He hesitated, "It's the prime minister's trick for me, Uncle Wang's side...... Also agreed. ”
