Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 369 Agreed

Bianjing.

Zhang Ai, the second in command of the state government, beat Murong Yanzhao severely and knocked out two front teeth.

As soon as the news spread, it was a stone that caused a thousand waves.

Zhang Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Zaibing, Prince Shaobao Tianmin who has already retired, Xue Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Dou Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a group of officials with status and status gathered together.

The group, headed by Zhang Zhao and Tian Min, was filled with righteous indignation and blamed Murong Yanzhao.

Zeng Liang, a hot-tempered household doctor, started cursing directly, greeting Murong Yanzhao's generations of ancestors.

Zhang Zhao's face was livid, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Zhang Zhao's real name was Zhang Zhaoyuan, but he changed his name to Zhang Zhao to avoid the taboo of Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor of the later Han Dynasty.At the age of seven, he was able to recite more than a hundred pieces of ancient Yuefu and epic poems; before he was an adult, he read the "Nine Classics" all over the place, and he was superior to his peers.

Since the later Tang Dynasty, he has been appointed to compile history books because of his talent and learning. Later Jin, later Han, later Zhou and even the current imperial court have all been appointed to this post.

It can be seen that the reputation is high...

After Dou Yujun, he is the only person who can be convinced in the Central Plains scholars at the same time, and he is also recognized as the head of the Central Plains scholars in the future.

Dou Yujun was in Qufu County at this time, serving as a sacrificial officer.

Of course, the scholars in Bianjing were headed by Zhang Zhao.

As soon as this happened, officials and scholars naturally gathered at Zhang Zhao's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Tian Min's face is also gloomy and terrifying. This is also an existence at the level of a scholar-in-chief. Later Liang Zhen was admitted to the Imperial Academy in the next year. Ph.D., household member Wailang, Sikong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Prince Shaobao.He has been engaged in culture and education for 60 years, and has been revising the subset of classics and history damaged by the turmoil of the Five Dynasties all his life.Guo Rong praised him as "a master of Confucianism and a gentleman who recommends the appearance of a gentry."

At the same level as Feng Dao back then, he was just low-key and unwilling to stand out.

After becoming an official, he did not live in Bianjing, but in the countryside outside the city. He taught the classics of various scholars every day, which had a great influence on the style of study in the village.

An old guy like him also came to Bianjing himself because of this incident.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tian, ​​Murong Yanzhao is too disrespectful. I can't understand the official documents, so I beat people. I wait for the civil servants, just let them be bullied by warriors like this?"

Zeng Liang has an impatient temper, and he doesn't look like a scholar at all. He is a big man in the Northeast, he looks tall and burly, with this red face, he is even more martial arts than a martial arts man.

Tian Min said: "There should be an explanation for this matter, and we can no longer fall into the passiveness of the past. Even if we risk our lives, we must seek justice from His Majesty."

Zhang Zhao was well aware of the old man's stubborn temper, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Tian, ​​you don't have to be like this. Your Majesty is a rare and wise lord. He will definitely give me justice. After learning about this, I personally went to Wang Xianggong's mansion. , and got his approval. Wang Xianggong has always acted prudently, but he is also a person who has suffered, and he knows that this example cannot be opened."

A person who has suffered a lot has done his best.

Not only these officials, but also the scholars in Bianjing all gathered together, filled with righteous indignation, and united all the people to make a statement.

If it was seven or eight years ago, this matter would not have been a problem.

Manchu warriors are in power, what's wrong with beating a civil servant?
Even if it was hacked, it was just a matter of nodding.

Pushing forward more than ten years, not to mention the military ministers killing civil servants, the tooth soldiers on the street were so impatient that they even chopped down their own Jiedu envoys. Isn't killing a civil servant the same as chopping a watermelon?
That is to say, in these years, the status of civil servants has been significantly improved, and they have a certain right to speak.

The more this is the case, the civil servants who have just straightened their backs are particularly sensitive to this matter.

The cowardice and humbleness that has been suppressed all the year round made them have strong hostility and fear towards the military officials in their bones.

They are afraid that history will repeat itself again, and they are afraid that they will be dominated by military officials again.

As soon as this happened, regardless of whether there were any conflicts before, we put aside all prejudices and agreed to the outside world.

In just two days, Luo Youdu received more than 800 impeachment memorials, as well as a letter of petition from the Gyeonggi Scholar Union...

The momentum is so great that it is staggering.

Luo Youdu was mentally prepared for this, but still found it incredible.

Even Wang Pu, who has always kept a low profile, did not care about his own position.

As a person who has suffered, Wang Pu is unwilling to sit back and watch history repeat itself anyway.

morning meeting.

Wen Chen immediately launched the impeachment of Murong Yanzhao.

Zhang Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said angrily: "Your Majesty, Zhang Changshi is an important minister of our dynasty. He served as the governor of Xiangzhou for ten years. At the beginning of his tenure, the river flooded and the people were displaced. Changshi was induced by the situation and kept the place. Common people, dig a new canal, so that the people of Jingzhou will benefit greatly. He also used his spare time to organize poetry and prose meetings, and let Confucian scholars study Confucian classics to encourage students in the country to learn. Such a capable minister, unexpectedly for Murong Yanzhao was humiliated, because of a trivial matter, he was easily beaten, and the law cannot tolerate it. I implore His Majesty to severely punish Murong Yanzhao..."

As soon as Zhang Zhao's words fell, a civil official stood up immediately.

The second responder was Xue Juzheng, who also criticized Murong Yanzhao's inaction in Xiangzhou and denounced him for negligence.

During these few breaths, most of the civil servants in the hall were out of work.

Including the three prime ministers Wang Pu, Song Qi, and Dou Yi.

Luo Youdu was not surprised by this, and glanced in the direction of Wuchen.

The heads of the three divisions such as Han Lingkun, Han Tong, and Pan Mei, as well as the commanders of the various ministries, all have bad faces.

It's wrong for Murong Yanzhao to beat someone, but if he beats them all, he should be punished according to law.

The military didn't intend to cover up, but everyone was inexplicably anxious, and those who didn't know thought that Murong Yanzhao had killed someone.

how?
Isn't it just beating someone and paying for his life?

Most of the military officials have this idea, thinking that a group of civil servants are looking for trouble for nothing, which makes them lose face.

Luo Youdu smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said with a solemn face: "This Murong Yanzhao is really too much!"

He asked Murong Yanzhao to beat him up, but he also agreed in the letter that a lesson would be enough, and only skin injuries would be enough.

Murong Yanzhao punched Zhang Ai's two front teeth down, which was beyond his imagination.

Seeing what Luo Youdu said, Zhang Zhao became more confident, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Murong Yanzhao is contemptuous of the laws of the country and the important officials of the court. He should be severely punished to serve as an example to others."

Luo Youdu said: "Punishment, there must be punishment, it is really inappropriate to use force against colleagues."

All the ministers in the hall expressed their joy, but before they could be happy, a "but" came out.

"Why Murong Jiedu beat Zhang Changshi, you must have heard about it. But Zhang Changshi's report, I believe you haven't read it, I read it yesterday. The first time, what was written. When I read it the second time, After understanding it... the third time, I understood what he meant. Then the fourth time, and the fifth time I deliberated and found that this is a good article. Zhang Changshi's literary talent is still very good. It was not written by Zhang Changshi It’s not good, it’s because I don’t have enough knowledge, and I don’t have enough ink in my stomach, so I just can’t read.”

"Even I can't understand it, I believe it is in the eyes of Murong Jiedu. This article written by Zhang Changshi is like a wordless scripture..."

As soon as Luo Youdu said these words, Wuchen immediately became energetic.

Shi Shouxin suppressed his anger, and immediately came forward and said: "Murong Jiedu is the governor of the state capital, and the subordinate officials report and write nonsense. No one will be angry if they change it. He has a good literary talent and writes poems and lyrics. No one stops him. What's the point of showing off your knowledge in front of a big boss? Isn't this a provocation?"

He had such troubles for a long time, and he raised several literati just to help him read the official documents.

Zhang Ai may not have deliberately made things difficult, but in order to show his literary talents, he should be different.

Showing off skills in writing is already a common problem.

Except for the half-toned like Zhao Pu, most of the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty had this habit.

In fact, Zhao Pu also has, and he has also shown off, but only half-tone is half-tone.

His ostentatious skills were equivalent to making a fool of himself, which made Luderson a joke.

The two were originally the same type of counselors. Luo Youdu's use of Ludoxun in the battle against the Northern Han Dynasty and against the Kong family had already made the narrow-minded guy eat it.

Because of this matter, the two now have certain contradictions and compete for favor with each other.

Shi Shouxin's words obviously lit the fuse.

Is this literary talent all wrong?

Immediately, the admonisher opened up.

Compared with reasoning, it is of course the strong point of civil servants.Comparable to the voice, that is Wuchen's specialty.

Seeing His Highness intending to quarrel, Luo Youdu stopped him aloud: "Enough, what's the matter!"

His voice was not loud, but he instantly controlled the noisy parties.

Luo Youdu glanced at His Royal Highness Wenwu, and said: "Murong Jiedu is indeed wrong in this matter, there is no doubt about it. But in detail, it is my fault, and it is caused by the imperfection of the court system. Murong Jiedu is unmatched in bravery. The current general should be in charge of military affairs, not administration and people's livelihood. As for Zhang Changshi, his literary talent is outstanding, but in terms of administration, he is worthless. What I review is memorials, and what I care about is the people's livelihood in the world. The stability of the people is not appreciation Splendid article. There is no time to delve into the literal meaning..."

"I also believe that what the people of the world want to see and hear are simple and easy-to-understand announcements, not heavenly books."

"I thought that wanting to prevent this from happening was not to severely punish Murong Jiedu, but to solve the problem from the root."

As soon as Luo Youdu's words fell, Zhao Pu immediately went out of the class and said: "I propose that for the official documents of the court, everything should be streamlined, focusing on expressing the meaning in words, succinctly emphasizing content, and discarding all exaggerated rhetoric, so as to make government orders more convenient."

Seeing that Zhao Pu took the lead, Lu Duoxun stood up without hesitation and said, "I propose to classify the state capitals into three categories, such as Xiangzhou, Xuzhou, and Shouzhou, and send people with both civil and military skills. Serve as the governor. In other central state capitals, where there is no threat from foreign enemies, civil servants can serve as governors, and the county lieutenant in charge of public security is sufficient. For example, in frontiers and places of hundreds of battles, the imperial court should use brave and invincible generals like Murong Jiedu as governors to guard the frontier .”

Hearing Zhao Pu's suggestion, Zhang Zhao seemed to be furious, but when he heard Lu Duoxun's words, he said in a loud voice, "What Zhao Shilang and Lu Buque discussed, what An Guo said, the minister seconded."

Generals such as Han Tong and Shi Shouxin, who were troubled by official documents, also said loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

In an instant, all civil and military personnel reached an agreement in an instant.

　I have a personal matter at home, the update is late, sorry!
