Although it is nominally called the resignation of the Seed Master, the personal reception of the Son of Heaven shows that the Son of Heaven does not mean to ask for guilt, but after all, this matter is very important, and Zhao Ji also had to convene important ministers to hold this inquiry meeting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ji flipped through the resignation letter written by the planter Dao Yangyang and wrote nearly 3,000 words, sighed slightly in his heart, and said to Cai Jing: "Let's start!" ”

Cai Jing was secretly proud, bowed down and said, "The old minister suggested that the master of the imperial history platform ask." ”

"Quasi-play!"

It stands to reason that the resignation of the Seed Master should be questioned by the Privy Council, but I don't know what Zhao Ji thought about it, so he asked the Yushitai to interrogate, which somewhat expanded the incident.

Cai Jing immediately gave Ma Weiliang a look in the imperial history, Ma Weiliang understood, slowly walked to the front of His Majesty Dan, and gave a salute to the Son of Heaven and the ministers, so he asked unhurriedly: "I first want to ask the commander of the capital, in the resignation letter of the commander of the capital of the city, it was mentioned that it was because his staff secretly provided military information to the Western Xia, so he resigned with guilt, can you ask the commander to tell me specifically, what kind of staff is this leaker, and what position does he hold in the army?" ”

In fact, the seed master Dao was written very clearly in the resignation letter, since the imperial history wanted to ask, he had to repeat again: "The leaker is my staff, named Zhao Yuan, the official appointment record to join the army, three years ago when he served as the Shizhou priest, he was controlled by the Tangut people with money, and became the detailed work of the Tangut people, I don't know anything from beginning to end." ”

"It turned out to be a fine work of the Tangut people!"

Ma Weiliang emphasized, and there was a whisper around him, obviously this sentence attracted everyone's attention.

Tong Guan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, how could this seed master Dao be ignorant at all, desperately take a basin to cover his head, even the Son of Heaven couldn't help him, the nature of leaking secrets and fine work is completely different, the nature of the latter is even more serious, doesn't the seed master Dao understand at all?

Cai Jing and Gao Yu glanced at each other, a hint of smugness flashed in their eyes, Cai Jing gave Ma Weiliang a look and asked him to continue to ask.

Ma Weiliang understood, and continued to ask: "May I ask which discipline is this Zhao Yuan from?" ”

"He's not a jinshi, he's just a test to lift people."

"Oh! It turned out that it was just lifting people, but I don't quite understand, how can lifting people serve as Jiupin Priests? Could it be that Du Shuai recommended him? ”

Ma Weiliang locked the Seed Master Dao and Zhao Yuan step by step, so that Zhao Yuan's fine work identity would unconsciously become shared by Zhao Yuan and the Seed Master Dao.

Seed Master Dao is a veteran who is almost seventy years old, how can he not understand Ma Weiliang's intentions, although he is frank, but he is not stupid enough to be cocooned, Seed Master Dao shook his head, "Ma Yushi probably doesn't know much about the promotion of low-level officials, Zhao Yuan was originally a clerk, and he was completely competent, he has been a clerk for nearly ten years, step by step, according to the rules of the imperial court, after the clerk has enough qualifications, he has performed well at the same time, and he can be turned into a nine-rank official, Zhao Yuan's qualifications are enough, and his talent is also obvious to all, and there is nothing wrong with his promotion to a nine-rank official." , There is his record in the Privy Council's Court of Judges and Officials, and Ma Yushi can take a look if he is interested. ”

Ma Weiliang is very slippery, once the testimony is not conducive to the realization of his goal, he will immediately turn around, no longer dwell on this matter, he smiled and said: "Of course I know that officials can be transferred to officials, since Chongdu Shuai thinks he is excellent, then I have nothing to say, may I ask Chongdu Shuai, when was he turned against the Xixia people?" ”

"I just said that three years ago, when he was the Shizhou priest."

"So when the Seed Master Dao re-used him as a record to join the army, did he carefully review his resume?"

"What kind of censorship are you talking about?"

"For example, the source of his property, his usual conduct, his reputation among officials and the public, etc., has the capital been reviewed?"

Seed Master Dao was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! ”

Speaking of this, the seed master Dao became a little impatient, "I just resigned because I didn't carefully review it, which led to improper employment." ”

He also saluted the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, the old minister's appointment has not been investigated, resulting in the leakage of secrets, and it is a negative grace, and I implore Your Majesty to remove the old minister from all official positions." ”

Cai Jing said coldly on the side: "Causing such serious consequences, I'm afraid it's not as simple as resigning to get away with it!" ”

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment and said: "Don't be too anxious, the matter will become clearer the more you argue, I don't want to protect the guilt, but I also don't want the innocent to be guilty, so I convened this interrogation meeting, please be patient." ”

He said to Ma Weiliang again: "Ma Yushi, please continue!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ma Weiliang saluted, and then continued to ask: "Can you please tell us about the consequences of Zhao Yuan's case?" ”

The seed master was helpless, so he had to reply: "The serious consequence is the leakage of the military information for the war, which leads to the postponement of the campaign against Western Xia. ”

"I see that the resignation letter of the capital marshal mentions that Jinshi Li Yanqing was almost killed while patrolling the frontier, isn't this a serious consequence?"

Seed Master Dao shook his head, "Border patrol is inherently very dangerous, our army spies infiltrate into Western Xia, and Western Xia spies infiltrate into the Song Realm, both of which often happen, it is normal for him to meet Western Xia spies, after all, he is in the army and is performing official duties, he can't become a big deal just because he is a Jinshi, this is just a small consequence, but it is far from serious." ”

Gao Yu next to him couldn't help but scold: "The kind of commander is avoiding the important and light!" Li Yanqing was obviously surrounded by an ambush by two hundred Western Xia heavy cavalry, how could he say that he was so light as encountering Western Xia spies? ”

Tong Guan next to him pretended to be surprised and asked, "How did Captain Gao know that there were two hundred Western Xia cavalry surrounding Li Yanqing?" There is no mention of this in the resignation letter of the shuai! ”

Gao Yu was speechless for a moment, yes! How would he know?

After a while, Cai Jing said: "Captain Gao has also been in the Northwest Army for a few years, and some of his connections are always enthusiastically written to his old boss, and it is not surprising that Captain Gao knows about this." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "Cai Xiangguo is right, a few old subordinates wrote to me about this. ”

Seed Master Dao glanced at him coldly, "Captain Gao, the reason why I didn't elaborate on this matter in my resignation letter is to take care of your face, please be self-aware!" ”

Tong Guan became more and more surprised, "So, Li Yanqing was attacked on the frontier and still had something to do with Gao Taiwei, it's really strange, Gao Taiwei is in the capital, how can he be involved in this matter?" ”

Gao Yu's face was flushed, and he glared at the seed master fiercely, "You said that I was implicated in the attack on Li Yanqing, do you have any evidence?" ”

"I don't have any conclusive evidence, just some confessions, presumably Cai Xiangguo and Yu Shitai will not accept it, so I didn't mention this matter too much in the resignation letter, if Gao Taiwei doesn't pursue it, no one will ask about it."

Gao Yu's face was red and white, in front of the Son of Heaven and so many important ministers, he really couldn't get off the stage.

"You'd better be clear!"

The planter said lightly: "You and I know it!" ”

At this time, Cai Jing secretly scolded Gao Yu for being stupid, the other party had already said that he had a confession, Gao Yu had to dwell on this matter again, he hurriedly coughed twice, "Today is just to discuss the resignation of the commander of the city, we don't have to be entangled in this kind of inconsequential side matter, in fact, the matter is already very clear, Zhao Yuan joined the army as a record and mastered a lot of military information, he turned out to be a Xixia detail, the nature is very serious, the commander of the capital does have an unshirkable responsibility, the old minister suggested that all positions in the army should be removed immediately, so as not to expand the bad impact of the incident, As for whether he is guilty, it should be handed over to the Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory for a detailed investigation before making a decision. ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Tong Guan, "What is the opinion of the Privy Council?" ”

Tong Guan got up and said: "The first crime is to record the matter of joining the army, not the commander himself or his family, and secondly, when Zhao Yuan was first enabled by the commander, he was not a fine work of Western Xia at that time, but he was only bought when he was an official in Shizhou, if the crime of negligence should be borne by the governor of Shizhou, and should not be imposed on the commander, third, there will be an occasional enemy army in an army, this is a common thing, it should not be too expanded, the key is how to deal with the boss, after the commander found out that Zhao Yuan was guilty, he immediately investigated and dealt with it, and never tolerated it, I think he has fulfilled his responsibility as the commander, and now the preparations are only halfway through, and the military situation will continue to change, and the information obtained by Xixia can be said to be meaningless, so the loss is actually not big, Your Majesty, changing the commander before the battle is a taboo in the army, and Weichen suggested that the commander should be guilty of meritorious service. ”

Cai Jing said angrily: "Zhao Yuan is recommended by the Seed Master, he is obviously guilty of negligence, how can he not be investigated?" ”

Tong Guan said coldly: "Zhu Mian was also recommended by Cai Xiangguo, he committed the crime of rebellion, should Cai Xiangguo's recommendation be investigated for negligence?" ”

The Yaque in the hall was silent, and after a while, Zhao Ji got up and said: "This matter can be discussed later, disperse the dynasty!" ”

Zhao Ji brushed his sleeves away, and only Tong Guan and Cai Jing were left in the main hall looking at each other angrily.
