"Know! Hehe...... Know ......"

Zhao Jun Huo Ran got up, stared at Li Yi who was sitting paralyzed, and kept sneering, repeating the answer he gave, as if mocking his inaction.

Li Yi bowed his head and was silent.

But I heard Zhao Jun say coldly:

"You are the head of a county, the county guard of Yunzhou County appointed by the imperial court, and the feudal official who guards one side for the Son of Heaven!

Your appointment letter is stamped with the jade seal of my Great Song Dynasty!

And your family is also glorified because of you, even if you worship your ancestors at home a hundred years later, your tablet can be placed in the first few of your Li family!

But now, hehe......

As the head of a county, watching the forces within the country violate the ban of the imperial court and transport the military supplies strictly prohibited by the imperial court to the foreign country one by one to trade with the hostile opponents of the imperial court, and strengthen the strength of the grassland tribes, do you know what kind of behavior this is?

This is a capital enemy! This is treason! This is to ignore the court as nothing, they are throwing the majesty of the court to the ground, and they also stomped on it a few times with their feet!

And you, the county guard, are like dry bones in the grave, blind and blind to this!

Li Yi, are you guilty!? ”

As the words from Zhao Jun's mouth spat out one by one, Li Yi's head lowered and lowered, and finally in Zhao Jun's deafening roar of questioning.

Li Yi straightened up, knelt on the ground with a plop, and slammed his head to the ground with a muffled sound, but he just said in a trembling voice as if he didn't realize it:

"Lord Wang, the lower official is guilty! The lower officials are sorry for the imperial court, sorry for Your Majesty, and sorry for my Great Song Dynasty, especially the people of the northern land!

Xia Guan knew what the consequences would be if those materials fell into the hands of those outside the grassland tribes.

With an abundance of food, the population of those tribes increases.

With table salt, they will have strength.

With iron, they were able to craft sophisticated weapons and armor, so that they could better invade our Great Song Dynasty when they went south, and bring endless pain and suffering to the people of our Great Song Dynasty.

Can......

Lord Wang, it's not that the lower officials don't want to take care of it, but the lower officials can't do anything!

The county guard of the lower official has long been hollowed out by them, and the upper and lower levels of this Yunzhou county are left with an empty name of the county guard.

There is really nothing to be done about their behavior.

The lower officials are incompetent, and the crime deserves death, please punish the prince! ”

Looking at Li Yi's appearance, Zhao Jun knew that the heat was enough, so he sat back in his position with anger unsubsided, took a big sip of the tea in the cup, and then said in a deep voice:

"That's right, you Li Yi is indeed incompetent, a county guard has been hollowed out by local forces, you are not only incompetent, you are simply a waste!

But what can you do if you are punished?

Will those who punish you stop it?

me off! ”

"Lord Wang, the crime of the lower officials deserves death!"

Li Yi did not move, continued to kneel on the ground, and replied with his head against the ground.

Zhao Jun immediately sank his face: "What? It's not easy for this king to talk about it in your Li Junshou? ”

"The lower officials don't dare!"

Li Yi could only get up when he heard this, but he still stood in place with his head down and his hands down.

"Let's talk about it, what is going on with Cheng Cheng and Liu Xishan?

Then Liu Xishan can still say, how can Cheng Cheng get involved with them? ”

According to common sense, it is not uncommon for Liu Xishan, a county, to be controlled by local forces, but this is not a cause for concern.

In the Great Song system, there was a garrison stationed in each state, which was only responsible for drills on weekdays and did not participate in civil affairs in the state.

The county guard also did not have the right to mobilize troops.

However, if it is necessary to mobilize the local garrison, the county guard can apply to the imperial court for the right to temporarily transfer troops and transfer troops to assist.

However, it is also necessary to write a detailed report of the transfer of troops afterwards and submit it to the Privy Council to check whether it is true.

Therefore, on a daily basis, those local forces cannot affect the army at all, because the army's salary is directly supplied by the imperial court, and they are not allowed to enter the city at will if they have nothing to do on weekdays.

But Zhao Jun saw it clearly, Cheng Cheng, the defense envoy of Yunzhou County, seemed to have been mixed up with the Li family of Chen Wangsun and Li Shi, which was the main reason why Li Yi, the county guard, was powerless against their nonsense.

The only hope of turning the tables is in the hands of the other party, how can he fight against the four major families?

"Liu Xishan was promoted from Nanyang to Yunzhou County three years ago, but he himself was a native of Yunzhou County, but he was transferred to Nanyang as an official after the imperial examination.

I don't know if I was mixed with these family members when I was in Nanyang, and as soon as I came to Yunzhou County, I got their support and completely controlled the county guard yamen.

And Cheng Cheng's side, does the prince know about the plague that happened in Liaobei County five years ago? ”

"You mean the plague that killed more than 200,000 people in Liaobei County five years ago?"

Hearing him say this, Zhao Jun immediately recalled an incident he had heard five years ago when he was still in the palace.

That is, five years ago, the plague broke out in Liaobei County for some reason, even if the imperial court made every effort to relieve the disaster, in the end, nearly 200,000 people died in the entire Liaobei County, which shocked the entire Song Dynasty and the opposition, and made people talk about rats.

The rat has really become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and fights!

Li Yi nodded:

"Exactly! That Cheng Cheng himself is a person from Liaobei County, and his family has been in the army for generations, so he may have offended someone in the army, so he was secretly transferred to this Yunzhou County by Mingsheng seven years ago to become the defense envoy of this Yunzhou County.

Five years ago, his only son was unfortunately infected with the epidemic, and when he was at a loss, Chen Lixin's wife suddenly appeared in front of him, and gave him enough medicine to cure his family's epidemic so that his only son survived.

Immediately, the four families sent some benefits from time to time, and slowly Cheng Cheng fell to the side of the four families and became their people.

Due to the remoteness of Yunzhou County, the rest of the garrison's supplies except for the salary and silver should be purchased and replenished from the local government under the supervision of the local government.

In this way, this business has also become the business of the four families, and Cheng Cheng has also made a lot of benefits in it, and since then he has fallen deeper and deeper.

When Liu Xishan came, I accidentally discovered that the four major families were selling prohibited materials across the border, so I wanted to mobilize Cheng Cheng's garrison to clear the four major families, but he refused.

Only then did I realize that he had already become one of theirs.

I'm also completely hollowed out. ”

Zhao Jun was a little strange when he heard this, so he asked, "He blatantly resisted the imperial court's order to transfer troops?" ”

"Nope! No. Li Yi shook his head.

Zhao Junchazi: "You didn't mean ......"

"The prince misunderstood, the lower official did send an application to the capital for the transfer of troops, but none of them got a response, and later I learned that all the excerpts sent by the lower officials were all intercepted, and behind this is the ghost of the four major families, and the excerpts of the lower officials could not be sent to the capital at all, let alone get the transfer order." Liu Xishan explained.

Zhao Jun was even more puzzled:

"This king remembers that if you want to mobilize the local garrison, you don't necessarily have to transfer troops in an emergency, right? As long as the military commander is sure that the action will not cause damage to the imperial court, he can temporarily transfer troops to cooperate with the local chief official.

It is only necessary to make up the details of what happened afterwards and send it back to the military department, and the military department will confirm that it is necessary to temporarily transfer troops in this way. ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, the lower officials also thought about this, but Cheng Cheng didn't pay attention to the lower officials' request for troop transfers, and all the excerpts that were passed on to the capital were stopped, so when he was unwilling to cooperate, the lower officials had no way to take Cheng Cheng." ”

Zhao Jun suddenly realized that since Cheng Cheng had already blended into the camp of the four families of Chen, Li and Sun, he naturally would not assist Li Yi to move their God of Wealth.

In the absence of a formal order from the Ministry of War, Cheng Wei had the right to refuse Li Yi's request for assistance in transferring troops.

No one can speak of him about it.

In this way, it is no wonder that this Li Yi will be hollowed out like this.

"Lord Wang, this is the reason why the lower officials are so eager to join the prince, this lower official of Yunzhou County is really powerless." Li Yi explained with a wry smile, and Zhao Jun was speechless for a while.

This guy obviously wants to mess up......
