Chapter 74: A Dozen (6)
When Zhao Qian saw Lieutenant General Liu Han, he immediately felt familiar. He had met lieutenant generals before, but he didn't specifically introduce them to talk. The lieutenant general's soldier has short hair and gray sideburns, a straight body, and a well-fitting general uniform, looking majestic and resolute. At this official meeting, without waiting for Zhao Qian to speak, Lieutenant General Liu first said: "May I ask if I should call you Director Zhao or should I call you the prince?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Qian also felt that there was no need to play officially. He asked directly: "I'm here to ask about Luoyang." ”
Liu Han was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "The prince has heard from the official family that I am responsible for cleaning the Luoyang area?" ”
Zhao Qian immediately responded: "The official family has never said it. ”
"Seeing the prince like this, I think I know."
"The officials never said anything about it." Zhao Qian couldn't help but defend his father. But saying this is also expressing Zhao Qian's own attitude.
"In that case, I think someone told the prince that I blocked the matter."
"Yes." Zhao Qian replied calmly. If it's about himself, there's no need to dodge.
Looking at Zhao Qian's expression, Liu Han smiled bitterly: "If the prince blames me, then he is looking for the wrong person." The crown prince should go to the Ministry of Justice. ”
"Ministry of Justice ......" Zhao Qian felt that he probably understood what was going on. Yesterday, he also thought carefully, and suddenly thought of a key point. If it is peaceful today, military law will not cover the entire north of the Huai River for a long time. The military has its own Judge Advocate General's Office, which manages personnel within the army. The army rushed to Luoyang to kill people, where is this Ministry of Justice? According to the current law, if the army kills civilians on its own, it is a rebellion.
Without waiting for Zhao Qian to pick up this stubble, Liu Han showed an expression of annoyance on his face. "Prince, I also blamed myself for the past two days, when the official family gave me the errand to clean Luoyang, I was in a hurry to fight, and I killed it in Luoyang City, so I ran to the war with fire. As a result, the battle was not fought, and the errand was not completed. When I think about it, I hate myself for being young and ignorant. ”
Zhao Qian can understand Liu Han's thoughts, he is younger than Liu Han, and the past makes his regret more vivid. Then I saw that Liu Han's annoyed face showed the murderous spirit of a soldier, and the white hair on his sideburns was even more eye-catching. It wasn't grinning, it wasn't frowning, it was a restrained emotion. When the killing intent overrides everything, for these veterans, it is done.
Even Liu Han's voice became much more indifferent, "After the Ministry of Defense discussed, someone wanted to apply for an edict from the official family and put this little tail away." However, I think that north of the Huai River, I am afraid that there is not only such a Zhuangzi, but there are probably many Zhuangzi that have not had time to be cleaned back then. So we're in contact with the Ministry of Justice to see if we can restart the purge. ”
Zhao Qian lowered his gaze and rubbed his beard with his fingers. Sure enough, things can't be subjectively speculated, Zhao Qian felt that Liu Han was not a coward yesterday, and a coward could not be the lieutenant general of the Great Song Dynasty. However, he didn't expect Liu Han to be so ruthless when dealing with things. After making some small actions to ease his emotions, Zhao Qian felt calmer. After the shock, I was finally able to continue thinking. If the purge is restarted, the Ministry of Justice will only be a gate. Even if the Ministry of Justice agreed, it had to be sent to the imperial front for the approval of the Zhao official family.
Recalling his killing of local tyrants who had married Mongolians in Shaanxi, Zhao Qian knew what a burst of the Great Purge was. Under the condition that everyone has passed, it will not be only a Zhuangzi in Luoyang who has turned into powder. And there must be those who have been unjustly killed. Based on previous knowledge of the Ministry of Justice, it is unlikely that they will agree.
Seeing the development of things with his own eyes, Zhao Qian originally wanted to persuade Lieutenant General Liu Han to take the temporary policy of 'applying for an edict to destroy the town'. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it, and Zhao Qian felt that he didn't have the ability to grasp the situation. Where he can't see, what will these influential figures do? If you join rashly, will you be used as a gun?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qian asked, "Does the Ministry of Defense agree with the lieutenant general's suggestion?" ”
"There are objections. I told them, let me try it first, if it really doesn't work, whether to go to the imperial court and ask the official to decide, or to see what the Ministry of Justice does, I listen to everyone. Lieutenant General Liu replied decisively.
Zhao Qian nodded. He admired the lieutenant general's choice in his heart, and his spirit and power were all taken care of by him. If this lieutenant general can calmly accept all the results, this person is really qualified to be a lieutenant general.
"Lieutenant General, how long do you think the Ministry of Justice will respond?" Zhao Qian also began to do business.
"The Justice Department didn't respond, just said they knew. If the prince wants to know, he might as well go to the Ministry of Justice and ask. "Lieutenant General Liu gave very clear and effective advice.
After listening to the suggestion, Zhao Qian immediately got up and said goodbye. After going out, riding on a docile warm-blooded horse, Zhao Qian couldn't help but imagine that he had become an emperor, and these generals like Lieutenant General Liu would not deal with him with his current attitude. Although I was thinking, I couldn't think of a definite result. Zhao Qian's heart suddenly gave birth to the admiration of his father Zhao Jiaren, it was such a general, and there were civil officials who were no less than such generals, and they all bowed down in front of their father Zhao Jiaren. But Zhao Qian himself felt that his father was just a father who was difficult to accept many times.
If Dad had come up with the means to deal with these civil and military generals, Zhao Qian would have been completely flying.
After sighing for a moment, Zhao Qian suddenly thought of a short sentence, 'Once a son of heaven and a courtier'. He didn't understand this before, but now Zhao Qian suddenly became enlightened. These seemingly ruthless words now make Zhao Qian read a kind of helplessness and sadness. If old guys like Lieutenant General Liu used this attitude to deal with Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian didn't seem to be able to do anything. These people are in awe of Zhao Jiaren from the bottom of their hearts, and they are afraid that Zhao Qian will not have such feelings.
But who should replace these people? Zhao Qian felt that he was at a loss, and then he suddenly became enlightened. The Ministry of Officials has all the data files of the Great Song Dynasty and the Civil and Military Forces, and the Ministry of Officials examines and evaluates the performance of civil officials every year, and the civil officials have to report to the Ministry of Officials at the end of their three-year term. If Zhao Qian became the secretary of the ministry, he would have enough time to watch, choose, and contact the officials he agreed with.
You don't need to be particularly gang-like, and you don't need to be extraordinarily tolerant of anyone. When he became the secretary of the ministry, Zhao Qian was able to start forming his own team and at least delineate some people who could use it.
But...... Is this what Daddy thinks?
If Dad didn't look forward to it so much, why did he suddenly let Zhao Qian go to the Ministry to transfer the files?
Why didn't Daddy say it?
If you say it, maybe Daddy is still the 'unacceptable Daddy' in Zhao Qian's eyes......
All kinds of thoughts rolled in his mind, Zhao Qian finally sorted out an idea, after the work group was completed, he tried it once and asked if he could be transferred to the ministry as an errand boy. That's when everything will be revealed. Not in the mode of teaching knowledge, but in the mode of tacit understanding.
The strife and competition in the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be going on calmly. Those at the pinnacle of power have their own way of solving problems, and these people don't tell the people below what is happening at the top.
In Luoyang, which is 400 miles away from Kaifeng, Hong Nanfeng and Wang Quanle are still facing their own problems with their vision. Hong Nanfeng was afraid that the telegram above would be lost again, so he sent another telegram urging him. The captives were also reminded that they could die. This time, the General Administration of Taxation quickly sent a telegram back, 'Strictly guard, do not let them escape.'
Hong Nanfeng felt very puzzled after reading the telegram, this time it perfectly embodied the word "wind and horses" and "cows". As a result, You Yong was happy after reading it, and Hong Nanfeng asked angrily: "What's so ridiculous about this?" ”
You Yong smiled: "I don't dare to say that this is what the top meant, but I guess that the top is saying that it doesn't matter if you die or not, you can't let people escape." ”
Hong Nanfeng really didn't expect this, he felt that what You Yong said made sense, but he thought of something else. He frowned and said: "Don't say who is responsible for the death, if you really die, is the responsibility mine?" ”
"Didn't you send a telegram to tell your superiors that people were already dying? The fact that this telegram does not mention this shows that it is very clear. You Yong sighed.
Hong Nanfeng still felt unsteady in his heart, but he couldn't find any further reasons to deny it. In the end, I could only sigh and admit it. didn't know that at this time, Principal Lu of No. 2 Middle School was being called to the Department of Education for questioning.
Principal Lu can talk for dozens of minutes in class, but Ping Suli is not a talkative person. After listening to the question of the deputy director of the Department of Education, I saw that the deputy director looked at him with burning eyes, waiting for an answer. Principal Lu replied: "I am dealing with it in accordance with the regulations of the school, the school does not allow students to fight, but the school must distinguish between right and wrong. Hong Xuebing did not provoke the other party, but also the other party's first move. Although he played three at a time, he enjoyed it very much. This is a matter of education, not of school discipline. I heard from Hong's father that he had beaten him three times, and he also specifically emphasized that he was practicing martial arts for self-defense. Hong has also returned to normal study, and I do not accept that he should be suspended. ”
The deputy director was refuted so bluntly, and a strong negative energy was born in his heart. This negative energy is directed at Principal Lu's share is far less than that directed at the head of the hall who gave such an order. The principal of a middle school is not from a prominent background, and it is a basic requirement to be reasonable anyway. Principal Lui's response cannot be considered problematic from any point of view. If it's none of his business, the deputy director is afraid that he will have to give Principal Lu a good shout.
But now that the matter is in the hands of the deputy director, the deputy director can't do nothing at all. After looking left and right for a few moments, the deputy director thought of a compromise plan, and he said: "In this way, can you deal with it and suspend classes for a few days." ”
Principal Lu stared at the deputy director for a moment, and replied briefly, "No." ”
The deputy director also felt a little unbearable on his face now, what is this! You bad old man, are you going to rebel?
Just as he was thinking about whether to have a slight seizure, the secretary of the department next to him spoke, "President Lu, if the Academic Affairs Office makes a decision, you should not care, right?" ”
The deputy director understood the secretary's thoughts in a moment, and he glanced at this guy and felt that this guy was really a clever ghost.
