Chapter 210 0205 [Walking the Dog]

Song Huizong successively received two sealed performances.

The first letter was handed over by Zhu Guoxiang. Zhu Ming impeached the Qian and Sun families for colluding with thieves, occupying people's fields, and neglecting human lives.At the same time, it also said that the prohibition of harvesting and grazing in Gulin Mountain seriously affected the lives of the people nearby, and requested to reduce the restricted area of ​​Yaoling.

The second letter was handed over by Cai You. The court officials of the three families of Qian, Sun and Li impeached Zhu Ming for privately planning the forbidden area of ​​Yaoling, and killed Liang and pretended to be an injustice.

"What do you think?" Song Huizong handed the two sealed memorials to Li Bangyan.

Inside and outside the court, Cai Dang and Zheng Dang fought fiercely, but Li Bangyan was neither faction.

His position is the living man, who follows the emperor every day and is responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds.In addition, Li Bangyan also had to record many important policies of the imperial court, and then handed them over to the writers for preservation.

Li Bangyan deliberately kept a distance from Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong, and frantically fawned on the eunuchs, faintly becoming the third force in the court.

After reading the two secret memorials carefully, Li Bangyan said: "Officials, except for killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, the two secret memorials are probably true."

"Why is it fake to kill a good man?" Song Huizong asked.

Li Bangyan said: "Zhu Zhizhou is upright and selfless, who in Tokyo doesn't know about it? If it is for the people, he can do it privately. This is a serious crime, so dismissing him is considered light. He has already taken such a big risk to plead for the people. , how can he care about the credit for catching the thief? The person he kills must be a real thief."

Song Huizong said with a smile: "He wants to be a famous minister."

Li Bangyan said: "The act of plotting Yaoling privately can be a big or small crime, and it depends on the officials."

Song Huizong thought about it carefully, and said to the eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Academy who were accompanying him: "The decree, Zhu Ming, the magistrate of Puzhou, exceeded the system and planned the Yaoling Mausoleum, and the salary was fined for three months, making him think about his mistake. Approve what he played, and redesign it. Yaoling restricted area. As for the Qian and Sun families, an order was issued to reprimand them."

Li Bangyan quickly flattered: "The official is a sage."

The reason why Li Bangyan helped Zhu Ming speak was because he regarded Zhu Ming as the same kind: imperial party!

The foundation of the imperial party is too weak, only the emperor and eunuchs help.In the future, if we step onto the stage, we will inevitably have conflicts with the Tsai Party and the Zheng Party, and we need to unite with the same kind to strengthen our forces.

A few days later, Song Huizong received two sealed performances again.

One letter was written by Zhu Ming, detailing the murders committed by the Qian and Sun families, and saying that they concealed a large number of land properties to evade taxes, and asked for permission to investigate hidden land in Puzhou.

One was written by Wang Keshu, a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, impeaching Zhu Ming for falsifying evidence, making unjust cases and arresting people indiscriminately.

The two completely opposite secret performances made Song Huizong feel straight and happy.

Throwing it to Li Bangyan to read again, Song Huizong smiled and said: "This Zhu Chenggong is really audacious. He can just arrest the Sun family. If he dares to arrest the Qian family, isn't he afraid of provoking the wrath of the descendants of the founder of the country?"

Li Bangyan said: "The tougher Zhu Zhizhou is, the more real the case of the Qian and Sun families will be."

"Of course I know it's true," Song Huizong said, "You recommend a Beijing official to serve as Puzhou's observation judge, and deal with this matter as soon as possible. The ancestors of the Qian family have made great contributions to the country, and being imprisoned will bring shame to the court. "

Li Bangyan said: "Tang Ke, the magistrate of Hangzhou, is worthy of this important task."

The observation judge is a special post, the number of places is not fixed, and the job can be resigned after the work is completed.

Tang Ke is also very complicated. He recruited and surrendered the Miao people's rebels, and later he also managed the floods of the Yellow River.During the Jingkang period, he advocated peace talks and crazily squeezed out the main war faction.The Jinren supported Zhang Bangchang as emperor, and Tang Ke also signed his support, but afterwards committed suicide by taking poison.

Say he is incompetent, but he has some ability.

Say that he betrayed his country and sought glory, and he committed suicide again to apologize.

When Tang Ke was a housekeeper, he had some friendship with Li Bangyan, and was released because he offended the eunuch.

Li Bangyan took this opportunity to ask Tang Ke to do things for the emperor. After completing the task, he would be able to recall the court, which became a great help for Li Bangyan.

Song Huizong said: "according to Qing's wishes, let Tang Ke go and make sure to get things done."

Li Bangyan understands what the emperor means, the Qian family must keep it, and give face to the founder of the country.The Sun family doesn't care, just kill it, who made the Sun family not rich enough?

In Song Huizong's eyes, these are trivial matters, and the Northern War is the major event.

Deng Xunwu, a core member of the Cai party and a privy envoy, was immediately recruited into the palace by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and asked, "Why hasn't the fight over Xixia been finished yet?"

Deng Xunwu replied: "I have known about the affairs of the Privy Council for less than half a year, and I am already urging the frontline soldiers to make a quick decision."

Song Huizong said: "The news came from the Liao Kingdom that Gao Yongchang, the defender of the Bohai Sea, made a rebellion and invaded Liaoyang. war, and then mobilize troops to attack Liao."

Not only Deng Xunwu, but even Li Bangyan, who was writing a daily note, was shocked by the emperor's words.

The fight with Xixia is still sloppy, how could you think of fighting the Liao Kingdom?

Four words, what a great success.

Deng Xunwu quickly said: "I must step up and urge you to end the war in Xixia as soon as possible!"

The Liao Kingdom is really dangerous. Liaoyang was captured by the rebels, and Gao Yongchang was sentenced to Jianguo and proclaimed himself emperor.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi ordered that families with more than ten miscellaneous animals must provide young and strong soldiers to fight the rebellion.Once this order was issued, more than [-] households in Chunzhou immediately rebelled, and tribes in the Liaodong Peninsula also rebelled and became independent.

Then, the Jin soldiers captured Baozhou (Dandong) in the Liao Kingdom and destroyed the newly established Dayuan Kingdom.

Except for the Liaodong Peninsula, the northeast region south of Heilongjiang has all fallen into the hands of Jinren.

The Kingdom of Jin has risen completely!
In Dali, Duan Yu had just ascended the throne, and he even sent envoys to Tokyo to request canonization, so I don't know how well he practiced the Six Meridians Excalibur.

After sending Deng Xunwu away, Song Huizong stared at the map again and again.

A series of rebellions within the Liao Kingdom aroused Song Huizong's ambitions, and he even regretted going to war with Xixia.If he hadn't fought Xixia at the beginning, he would have taken the opportunity to conquer the north at this time, recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop, and accomplish Zhao Ji's great career!
The intelligence of the Song Dynasty lags behind. The Yuan Kingdom established by Gao Yongchang was destroyed by the Jin people in May. Song Huizong still doesn't know about it.

He stared at the map and looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more regretful he felt.

……

As for the affairs of Puzhou, Cai Jing, like Song Huizong, was not very concerned.

Some minor matters can be handled by the people below.

After learning of the emperor's arrangement, Cai You immediately approached Zhang Kegong and asked, "Has the matter of Puzhou been arranged?"

Zhang Kegong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "The three county magistrates in Lei Ze County were selected to be promoted to the first rank. Cao Yuan was transferred to the magistrate of Anyuan County, Wang Tian was transferred to the magistrate of Xinhua County, and Geng Dingchen was transferred to the magistrate of Qian."

Zhang Kegong is the cousin of the fierce Zhang Shuye, and also the backbone of the Cai Party.

"Very good." Cai You was very satisfied.

The three counties given by Zhang Kegong are all places where birds don't shit.

Who asked Cao Yuangui and others to help Zhu Ming do things?Bringing them up and down secretly is also releasing the message that Zhu Ming is the enemy of the Cai party, and whoever follows Zhu Ming will just wait to go to the poor.

Zhang Kegong said again: "Ju Ming is not an ordinary prefect, and must be mobilized by Mr. Zhang himself."

Cai You asked, "Where do you go?"

Zhang Kegong smiled and said, "Hangzhou."

Cai You shook his head again and again: "The bustling place in Hangzhou, should someone surnamed Zhu enjoy it?"

Zhang Kegong was so upset that he woke up and said, "Hangzhou is Zhu Miao's territory, and others can enjoy it when they go there. But since Zhu Ming likes to do things, let him work with Zhu Miao!"

"Go!"

Cai You clapped his hands and praised: "This Zhu Zhizhou, in Puzhou, hunted and killed thieves and punished powerful people. He has made many political achievements. I recommend him to the officials to be the magistrate in Hangzhou."

Only two or three months after being promoted by the super rank, it seems that Zhu Ming is going to be promoted again, and he is still the magistrate in Hangzhou.

Cai You's job is to accompany the emperor to study, and sometimes he has the opportunity to meet the emperor.

On this day, he was having a good time playing with Song Huizong, and suddenly said: "Officials, I heard that Zhu Tanhua has made many achievements in Puzhou. Such a pillar of talent should be promoted without hesitation."

Song Huizong was quite surprised: "This guy took the wrong medicine? You actually said something nice to him."

Cai You said in a serious way: "A virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and a virtuous person does not avoid enemies. What's more, there is only a small gap between the minister and Zhu Tanhua, and there is no unresolvable enmity. A minister is to share the worries of the officials. live in harmony.”

Song Huizong was not a fool, but he was also curious about what Cai You wanted to do, and asked, "Which assignment do you recommend him for?"

"The magistrate of Hangzhou!" Cai You said.

Song Huizong laughed loudly: "With his temper, if he goes to Hangzhou, he is afraid that he will fight with Zhu Xie. This assignment will not work, Zhu Xie still has to keep work, and Zhu Mingzhen also needs to be reused."

Cai You had a secret plan for a long time ago, and said viciously: "The government has ordered to build a sea-going ship in Hangzhou. Zhu Tanhua and his son have traveled to and from the sea. He went to Hangzhou, and he can also help supervise the construction of a sea-going ship. In the future, he may go to sea for the government to find Immortal."

Song Huizong put away his smile when he heard the words, and actually considered the matter seriously.

After thinking for a while, Song Huizong still couldn't make up his mind: "I will think about it again."

Cai You didn't dare to persuade him anymore, otherwise he would easily make the emperor unhappy.

Another day later, Song Huizong actually promulgated the Central Decree, and transferred Zhu Ming to serve as the prefect of Hangzhou and promoted the shipping department of Liangzhe City.

The promotion of the official position of Ship Secretary of Liangzhe City is usually held concurrently by the transfer envoy of Liangzhe City.

As for Ju Ming's rapid promotion, this is quite normal.

The places where officials in the Beijing Dynasty take office are purely gilded, and it has become a common practice to move once a year, and it is also common to move every six months.There is only one situation for Beijing officials who have stayed in the local area for a long time and have not been promoted: they have offended the emperor or powerful ministers.

Ju Ming is waiting to flex his muscles in Puzhou, and he has no knowledge of the situation in the DPRK and China.

The three county magistrates who didn't know how to work for him were all thrown to the backcountry.He didn't know that he was about to be recommended by the Cai Party to go to Hangzhou as soon as he rolled up his sleeves.

This situation is what Ju Ming does not want to see.

He doesn't want to be promoted too quickly, even if he is promoted, it's better to be promoted at the same place, and what to do if he is transferred?How to accumulate management experience?

This is the disgusting part of the officialdom in the Song Dynasty. If you offend a powerful official, although there is no fear of life, the powerful minister can randomly transfer you, so that you can't really do things in the local area.

Commonly known as, walk the dog!
Zhu Guoxiang also had a few good eunuchs, and the emperor issued the imperial decree, and he learned the news the next day.

"Hangzhou?"

Dean Zhu's history is not very good, and he thought about it: "Fang La's uprising seems to have occupied Hangzhou. But when did Fang La start the uprising? It can't be just a year or two."

He was afraid that his son would fall into the wolf's den, so he ran to the field and broke dozens of tender corn cobs, and went straight to the palace: "Please inform me that the fairy grain corn has matured, and I will come and offer it to the officials today."
