The ban was lifted at the end of his return to Beijing

The envoy to Jin was killed

The party ban has finally been lifted. How to use the civil and military officials who were still alive in the original list of 59 people is another problem that needs to be solved urgently.

The Chinese book organization gathered to discuss the deacons, and Han Yanxuan attended.

The ministers who participated in the meeting expressed their opinions and formed two views.

One believes that since the ban has been lifted, it is necessary to embody the magnanimous mind of the imperial court and the principle of the supremacy of employing people, as long as the body allows, and there is no violation of the words and deeds of the imperial court, and the reinstatement of capable officials should be restored as much as possible. The older ones will be arranged to enter Beijing as much as possible.

The other is that the lifting of the ban is loose, and it cannot make people feel that it was wrong to do it at the beginning, in that case, there will be people who ask for rehabilitation, so it is not appropriate for officials to be reinstated, and they can be used according to needs, and the grade and dispatch are lower than at the beginning, if some people are really good, they will be promoted after a while, so that they will not only not mention this and that, but will also be grateful to the emperor and the court.

Prime Minister Xie asked King Han Jun to make a decision. To be honest, Han Yanxuan didn't think so far away. Although sometimes, when there are meetings to discuss problems, there are seven monks and eight different words, and there are so many possibilities and plans that people feel that what to discuss and what to talk about is not as good as one person having the final say. But if one person has the final say, there are problems, and your colleagues and subordinates will accuse you of being arbitrary, covering the sky with one hand, and making mistakes, and the responsibility and crime are all yours. It is better for everyone to come together to solve the problem in an all-round way, and to take responsibility together.

He looked up and looked at the room. Said slowly:

You've all said very well and thoughtfully, and I think the second view is better. We just want to tell everyone: At the beginning, there was nothing wrong with checking the pseudo-party ban on Taoism, and now lifting the ban is the need of governing the country and the grace of the emperor.

Soon, some old ministers returned to Beijing one after another, Peng Zishou was appointed as Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Pingyang was appointed as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, Ye Zhengze was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, Xue Shu seemed to be the Zuo Shilangzhong of the Ministry of War, Wu Lien was appointed as the general envoy of Hubei Qian and Grain, Wang Fubin was appointed as the commander of the Zhenjiang Wufeng Army, and Chen Junliang was over seventy years old. Other people will also be arranged.

The ruling team has also been adjusted: Chen Zhishan is the right prime minister, Ding Qiaoan is the governor of the council, Liu Lan is the governor of the council and the third envoy, Liu Jianxiu is the secretary of the Privy Council, Zhang Yan is the same governor of the Privy Council, and Li Shizhang is the signing of the Privy Council. Together with Xie Shenfu and Wu Bogang, there are a total of eight people in Zaizhi, and the scale of the number has been unprecedented since Chunxi.

At the beginning of October, the imperial court sent a delegation of nearly 100 people to Yanjing, the capital of Jin, to congratulate Emperor Jin on the New Year. Liu Lan, who participated in politics, was the chief envoy, and Han Yangxuan, the governor of the cabinet, was the deputy envoy.

Originally, he was going to arrange a waiter from the Ministry of Rites to serve as the envoy, but Liu Lan took the initiative to request. Compared with before Longxing, there is not much risk in going to Jinbang, but it is just a long journey and suffering from some wind and dust.

On the seventh day of entering the Golden Realm, when the mission was staying in Linqing County, a murder occurred.

One of the attachés of the mission was killed in the room of the inn. This is a subordinate official surnamed Ji from the eighth grade, from the Ministry of Rites and the Guest Qing Officials Division. It was about the murderer who sneaked into the room in the dead of night and committed a theft, but was unexpectedly discovered by him, and the two sides fought, and the murderer was stabbed in the left chest and died. After verification, the stolen personal and public property in the room amounted to about 1,000 taels of silver.

What is surprising is that the murderer left a thick letter on the bookcase in the room, which was obviously premeditated and left calmly.

After the case was discovered, He Zhengdan asked Liu Lan to check it immediately, took away the letter, took a cursory look at it, put it away, and asked someone to find the officials of the Golden Post House and ask them to report the case to the local yamen and arrest the murderer. However, the matter of the letter has not been mentioned for the time being.

Linqingzhi County immediately rushed to inspect the scene and conduct an investigation with the officials and servants.

Back at the residence, Liu Lan opened the letter again and looked at it carefully. It's the handwriting of two people. The first two sheets of paper are one person, and the back are many, apparently written many years ago.

The letter in front of it was written by the murderer, and although the Chinese characters were not properly written, the meaning was clear. The general meaning of the letter is this.

I have no choice but to take risks. Take something from your Han people, and if no one finds it, if you find it, you will ask for his dog's life. Why am I doing this? I look down on you officials of the Great Song Dynasty, your ancestors and even the royal family are a group of bloodless wrecks, the Jurchens destroyed your country, captured the emperor and concubines, and occupied your land, but you are regarded as masters, respectful, and pay tribute regularly, are you still men?

Who am I? His grandfather was a Jurchen, and his grandmother was snatched from the Song royal family. At that time, my grandfather was only a junior officer, he already had a wife and children, and he bought my grandmother as a concubine. Soon after giving birth to my father, my grandfather died in battle, and my eldest wife gave me only a little money and kicked my grandmother and father out.

Grandmother finally pulled his father up, and his father was forcibly recruited by King Hailing to fight and died in Quarry Rock. My mother ran away with someone, and my grandmother, who was desperate, had to pull me again.

My grandmother's surname is Zheng and she is from Zhenzhou. When I grew up, she taught me kanji. Talk about her tragic life story. Therefore, I hate both the damned war, and even more so the spinelessness of your Song people.

Grandma is over eighty years old, she is sick and dying, and she has no money to grab medicine, so she has no choice but to steal it, grab it, and let her live a few more days. As soon as my grandmother dies, it's not interesting to be alive, even if she catches me, I admit it.

For many years, my grandmother always wanted to return to her hometown. I'm afraid I forgot. Something was written in fits and starts. It seems that Zhenzhou can't go back, leave these things to you, and see how many sins they have suffered here.

Liu Lan found Han Yangxuan and said solemnly:

Ninth Master, it seems that this mission will not be peaceful. We're in a big trouble. If you want to deal with it, it will take some trouble.

Then give him the letter. Han Yangxuan read the letter from beginning to end, and his expression gradually became solemn. looked at Liu Lan and opened his mouth to speak:

Participating in politics, you have experienced more things than me, and you are a righteous envoy, so you will listen to what you say and do.

Ninth Master, I think so, people are dead, we have also reported to the officials, it is their business to solve the case and arrest people, and this letter cannot be handed over to them. Regardless of whether the case is solved or not, we want Jinbang to compensate for the losses and take out the money to compensate the victims' relatives.

You see, is that okay?

Okay, very good, the letter can't be delivered, otherwise we will bring shame on ourselves, and it is estimated that they will not be able to solve such a case.

We ask that Wang Langzhong's body be preserved and that we will talk about it when we return.
