Chapter 303: Impeachment is like a cloud
Chapter 303 Impeachment is like a cloud
The handover process was very cumbersome, and Zhao Yu did not pay attention to the whole process, and most of the affairs were handled by the staff group of Yang Yu, Mei Yaochen, and Qian Yanyuan.
It took a day and a half to fully complete the handover. For such a long time, the people in the officialdom of Fengxiang Mansion were amazed, and they secretly admired the ability of Zhao Yu's staff.
But in fact, this is just a superficial effort, after all, there is a thousand stones of grain recorded on the books, who knows if there is really a thousand stones in the warehouse? Even if there were really a thousand stones, if the grain was mixed with sediment, or if the new grain was replaced with inferior old grain, then Zhao Yuke would be fooled.
Therefore, after the handover was completed, Zhao Yu immediately appointed Zhou Xuan as a prisoner official and inspector. The inspector was originally an official position in the Tang Dynasty, and his authority was similar to that of the pacification envoy of the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, after floods and droughts, the imperial court sent internal and external officials of more than five grades to serve as inspectors, inspect officials, and provide relief to the victims, called inspectors.
Naturally, the patrol envoy set up by Zhao Yu did not have such great power, and the purpose of the establishment was to inspect the real storage of money and grain in various places and report corruption in the warehouse.
Mei Yaochen served as the secretary and inspector of the pacification department, and each of them had two deputy inspectors, four survey directors and more than a dozen officials who were proficient in arithmetic.
As soon as these two orders were issued, they immediately shocked Qin Fenglu's officialdom.
Yin Zhu also couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly came to ask for a meeting, and said vaguely and persuasively: "The lower officials heard that the war is coming, and they need to seek stability." Surprise soldiers can win a big victory, but they can also be defeated, not by a big country! Gamblers' moves, not advisable! ”
Zhao Yu retorted: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, now that the enemy doesn't know, he doesn't know, how to win?" Even if you want to be stable, don't go too far! ”
Although Yin Zhu retreated, he was not convinced, and sneered in his heart, you Zhao Yu really don't know how big the interests involved here are, and you dare to meddle. Anyway, the official who should be said also said that he can also sell a favor to those people, Zhao Yu said that something happened later, and no one can blame the official.
However, Yoon so has a little conscience and did not help the abuse at this time. When the staff proposed to join forces with the moths to deal with Zhao Yu, Yin Zhu categorically refused, and ordered the officials who knew him well, so that they should not interfere in this matter, but they did not have to help, they did what they wanted, and they did it according to the procedure.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu showed an extremely tough attitude in this matter.
The magistrate of Wushan County, Longzhou, was found to have colluded with grain merchants to sell grain to Jingzhao Mansion without permission. This is not counting, the Chencang military village was even found out, the local officials and soldiers in the name of attrition, seventy or eighty percent of the new ordnance sold at the price of scrap iron, by smuggling traders to Tubo and Western Xia and other places, and the Western Xia accounted for the majority.
Zhao Yu was furious, and without reporting to the imperial court, he ordered the leaders to be beheaded and the mansion to be sealed. The county order was better, and the officials and soldiers in the Chencang military village instigated the soldiers to disobey. Zhao Yu directly led the Beiwei army, although there were only 500 people, but he directly rushed into battle and killed hundreds of Song soldiers in a strong manner.
The soldiers of the Chencang military village did not dare to move, and allowed the officers of the Beiwei army to be killed on the spot.
In order to establish its majesty, the remaining 800 soldiers of the Chencang military village were all recruited into the Xiandeng army, and together with the 200 death row prisoners, a new Xiandeng battalion was formed.
Zhao Yu's series of thunderbolt means came down, and all the officials and generals of Qin Fenglu knew that they were powerful, and they were all frightened.
Of course, the negative is not nothing, the Shaanxi transfer envoy was the first to take the lead in impeaching Zhao Yu, ignoring national law, arson and killing officials, and plotting misdeeds If the nine articles are really implemented, the crime of beheading is indispensable.
Han Qi, the deputy envoy in charge of Jingyuan Road, did not fall behind, and also impeached Zhao Yu: arrogant, domineering, ill-intentioned and other crimes.
However, Fan Zhongyan in Yanzhou was kinder, although he also impeached Zhao Yu, but there was a bit of exculpation in the compromise. thinks that what Zhao Yu did is right, but the problem is that "the opposite of the horse is in a hurry." It is believed that Zhao Yu should "obey the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and report to the imperial court for punishment!" Otherwise, where will the law of the land remain? ”。
Yin Zhu couldn't have imagined that Zhao Yu's methods would be so fierce and tough, what kind of means are these? During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the warriors didn't agree with each other and started to kill, and it was nothing more than that! And on the fold, apply the description of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the history books, this Qin Fenglu is following in the footsteps of the five generations, "The etiquette and music are broken, the way of the three outlines and five constants is absolute, and the system of the first king's article is swept away!" ”
Song Renzong felt as if he had a big mountain on his back, and complained to Zhao Yu in his heart, how could he make such a thing at this time. This time, Song Renzong was not ready to protect Zhao Yu, and asked Lu Yijian directly: "How does Lu Aiqing think that King Wei should deal with the matter of killing officials and generals without permission?" ”
Lu Yi hesitated slightly, and then resolutely threw out the trap he had left for Zhao Yu before. "Official, this matter is very important and needs to be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, other generals will learn from King Wei, so what kind of system will the Great Song Dynasty return to the national law? Isn't the world going to be in chaos? Logically speaking, when chopping! ”
When Song Renzong heard this, his face turned embarrassed and said, "This crime is too much, right?" ”
On the one hand, Song Renzong has feelings for Zhao Yu, and on the other hand, Song Renzong is a face-loving person, how can he be willing to bear the notoriety of killing his brother? What's more, Zhao Yu has not been beheaded.
I think that when the eight kings Zhao Yuanyan was still the prince, he learned that Song Taizong had established Song Zhenzong as the crown prince, and he angrily set fire to the forbidden middle school. This is just a punishment for "seizing the Wuxin Festival, lowering the title of the Duan King, and leaving the hometown of the horse Duwei Shi Baojidi"! Later, Zhao Yuanyan "Every time I see the emperor, the pain is self-inducing, and the emperor has mercy." Xunjia Zhenhai and Anhua military festival envoys, Feng Peng Wang, and entered the Taibao. In other words, every time he saw Song Taizong, he expressed remorse, and quickly restored his title and official position.
People who want Song Taizong to be so ruthless are so tolerant of their sons, let alone Song Renzong, a flower that grows in a greenhouse.
Lu Yijian also knew that don't look at Song Renzong's hesitant answer, in fact, to kill Zhao Yu, it is not enough to rely on this crime. Even if Zhao Yu rebelled, he might not be able to kill him. The biggest reason is that the official family has no children, that is to say, Zhao Zhenai is one of the only two bloodlines in the Song Zhenzong line, and Song Renzong also has to avoid the severance of his own bloodline.
However, Lu Yijian's self-proclaimed goal has been achieved, it is fake that he wants Song Renzong to kill Zhao Yu, and it is true that he will pay back the money at a high price. "The officials, the old ministers also understand the difficulties. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped! Otherwise, what else can there be? Otherwise, there may be a collapse of the five generations of rites! ”
"This is natural, how about not following the punishment of King Jing in the burning of the former king?" Song Renzong thought about it and suggested.
"No!" Lu Yijian immediately objected. "In the past, it was said that King Jing was burning the ban, although it was a sensation, but it was also a royal family matter. But now that King Wei killed the doctors and generals, this is no longer a royal family matter, if it is not dealt with seriously, I am afraid that the civil and military officials in Shaanxi will be resentful. And it is about to launch an attack on Western Xia, at this time, there should be no woman's kindness! ”
"This ......" Song Renzong looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
Lu Yijian took the opportunity to say: "Of course, the old minister also understands the brotherhood of the official family, and the old minister only sees that it is better to cut the Jingnan Festival of the King of Wei, and demote the King of Wei to the two-character king, and then go out of the Jiangning Mansion on Jiangnan East Road, and avoid the limelight for a while." If King Wei has the intention of repenting, it is not too late for the official family to be sealed again? ”
Song Renzong thought for a while, nodded and said, "This thing is not bad, but it's just that it's too far to get to Jiangning Mansion?" ”
Lu Yijian said sincerely: "Official, the old minister is also doing this for the good of the king. If King Wei's spleen surname is in Bianliang City, he has resentment in his heart, and he doesn't make a big fuss? At that time, will the official family punish Wei Wang more? Or is it better to turn a blind eye and fool things around? No matter how you do it, I'm afraid it will also affect the reputation of the official family! Rather than this, it is better to send King Wei to Jiangning Mansion, far away, no matter how King Wei makes trouble, the official family can cover up the matter. Moreover, Jiangning Mansion is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, small bridges and flowing water, which is suitable for recuperating the love of King Wei! ”
Song Renzong thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, Lu Aiqing handed over the note in accordance with the procedure, and I will let Ye Qingchen draft the edict!" ”
"Yes! The old minister retires! Lu Yijian's heart blossomed, and he retired immediately, ready to go back and write a note, and hand it over tomorrow. He was also afraid of long nights and dreams, and something would happen.
It's just that Lu Yijian made a lot of calculations, but in the end he made a mistake.
Let's say that after Song Renzong said goodbye to Lu Yijian, he returned to Yanfu Palace. I just happened to see Wang Shouzhong, the deputy capital, who was sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom.
Song Renzong smiled: "Be loyal!" Why do you have to work so hard to clean? Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the people below? ”
Wang Shouzhong smiled humbly and said, "This is what a slave and maid should do, how dare you fake your hands to others?" In case it affects the mood of the official family, the slave is a big sin! ”
Song Renzong shook his head and said, "You, you!" It's going to be slippery, so don't sweep it, and walk with me! ”
Wang Shouzhong nodded and said, "Yes!" The slave puts down the broom, and here it is! ”
As he spoke, Wang Shouzhong put the broom aside, but when he turned to leave, he turned around and put the broom on the other side, and so on again and again.
Song Renzong couldn't help but say: "Just put it aside, why do you have to let it go like this?" ”
Wang Shouzhong said: "Official, the slave maid was placed behind the door yesterday, and yesterday at the corner of the corridor, but I looked for it for a long time today." And now it's autumn again, and there are a lot of fallen leaves, so I wonder if I should fix it in one place, otherwise the time to find a broom will be enough to clean the fallen leaves in the yard. ”
The relaxed expression on Song Renzong's face immediately froze, and he said, "Shouzhong, you seem to have something to say?" (To be continued.) )
