I studied in modern times

Chapter 59 The Empress Dowager: Wang Gui's crime is too serious!

The next day, March Renyin (the ninth day of the lunar new year).

The ministers tried three times to persuade them to listen to the government, but the two palaces finally replied: Yes!

So, that day, under the Yingyang Gate, Zhao Xu was surrounded by the two palaces, and in the small hall with curtains, he officially listened to the government for the first time.

The ministers then went to the table and begged for rewards for the military merits of Xihe Road in February.

And submit the inspection report sent from Xihe.

It is indeed a great victory!
The thieves beheaded general Selo Chenchu ​​and more than a dozen western thieves generals below him, won more than [-] heads, and no less than [-] thieves, cattle, sheep, horses and armor, and reported to the supervisor, all of them have been verified!

Therefore, the two palaces followed the system and rewarded meritorious deeds.

After Wu Xinjun stayed, the envoy of Jingfu Palace, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Xian, the envoy of Xihe Lanhui Road Jinglu appeasement system, were first-class in terms of system relocation.

After staying with Wu Xinjun as usual, he was promoted to be the envoy of Yanfu Palace, and he was still the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the envoy of Xihelanhui Road Jinglue appeasement system.

The meritorious generals below Li Xian also received awards.

Wang Wenyu, the envoy of the Sifang Pavilion and the training envoy of the Rongzhou regiment, was promoted to the introduction envoy, and the executive officer was still the training envoy of the Rongzhou regiment. As long as he made similar military achievements, he would have a chance to be dismissed by special decree. This is the full-time official.

There are dozens of officials in the country at most.

But the official military officials, except for the beginning of the founding of the country, there are only a few people in the past dynasties.

From the beginning of Renmiao, almost every official military official can eventually enter Beijing to serve as the commander of the Sanya and the commander of the temple.

Below Wang Wenyu, Dongshang Hemen Envoy, Jiazhou Inspector Kang Shi, was promoted to Rongzhou Regiment Envoy, and Dongtou Consecrated Officer Song Andao was promoted to Inner Hall Chongban.

The Imperial City Envoy and Zhongzhou Inspector Rousseau also led the Kangzhou Regiment Training Envoy; the Imperial City Envoy Cao Lingling led the Jiazhou Inspector, and the Imperial City Envoy Akemi was led the Changzhou Inspector.

Other meritorious generals, each moved to the third class, with different rewards.

The two palaces naturally agreed to the reward letter drawn up by the three provinces and the two governments.

Neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager has enough political sensitivity yet.

However, Zhao Xu, who was beside him, sighed in his heart as he looked at the meritorious letter.

Take a look at the list of three provinces and two prefectures asking for merit.

In addition to the three standard Han names of Wang Wenyu, Song Andao, and Cao Lingling.

The name Kang Shi sounds like someone from the Western Regions.

Rousseau's name barely looks like a Han Chinese.

But Akemi is the standard name.

And these three people did mark "Fan Jiang" on the provincial letter.

Among Xihe's six meritorious generals, Fanjiang accounted for three of them!

To put it bluntly, this proves that Li Xian has made outstanding contributions in Xihe, uniting the ethnic minorities and jointly building the Great Song Paradise.

But, those who are interested only need to provoke a little.

It is easy to remind people of the Anshi Rebellion and the story of the Tang Dynasty's Beiya imperial guards and chaos.

Then just wait for the Chaoye fryer!
The sense of security that the literati and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty are sensitive, fragile and nowhere to rest will make them jump.

Therefore, Zhao Xu knew that after Li Xian returned to the court, he could not be allowed to leave.

Stay in the capital and raise him for a few years.

Otherwise, as long as he goes back, he will not end well!
As for Xihe Road?
Several names flashed in Zhao Xu's mind.

There are veterans, handsome ministers, future famous ministers, and even members of the old party.

He needs to think about the characters and pros and cons of these people.

Then think of a way to promote one of them and perform Xihe's duties.

Before and after Sima Guang and Lu Gong entered the court, this matter had better be done to avoid complications.

After the chancellors had finished performing their frontier merits, they each withdrew.

It is the first time that the two palaces are in charge of politics, even if it is over.

At this time, the people from the Tongjian Department brought the bullets that Yushitai had sent into the palace and brought them to the two palaces.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..."

"This is the imperial censor bullet received by the Tongjian Division today..."

Thick bullets are piled up on the desk.

Whether it was the Queen Mother or the Empress Dowager, it was the first time to see this kind of scene of "a lot of bullets" in the legend, and they were all taken aback!
There are at least dozens of bullets here!
If you look at the two palaces one by one, you won't be able to sleep tonight.

But, it's not over yet.

The people from the Tong Jiansi soon sent Wang Gui's own letter of impeachment and the memorial to invite the county again.

The Empress Dowager looked at Wang Gui, who was sent to the front, impeaching herself and asking the county post.

Glancing at Zhao Xu, he saw the child with a curious and puzzled look on his face.

The empress dowager's expression changed immediately.

So the Empress Dowager didn't even look at Wang Gui's self-impeachment and invitation to the county.

I'm afraid that my eyes will be dirty, and I'm afraid that my heart will soften for a while.

She directly ordered to the left and right: "Bring the censor bullets back to Da Nei, and the queen mother and I must review them carefully, so as not to wrong the prime minister of the country!"

As she spoke, she looked at the Queen Mother.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager got up quickly, and saluted the Empress Dowager: "On this matter, the empress can make up her mind!"

Empress Dowager Xiang also smelled something unusual.

However, Wang Gui dared to say that kind of thing in the capital hall? !
Rang Xiang's impression of him was extremely bad.

Therefore, no matter how the Empress Dowager wants to deal with Wang Gui, the Empress Dowager has no opinion.

He even wished to demote Wang Gui to the end!
The empress dowager must pull the empress dowager to deal with this matter together, because only in this way, the emperor will not have doubts when he grows up in the future, and will not investigate further, and said: "The empress dowager should discuss the punishment with the old man!"

The queen mother could only say helplessly: "The bride obeys the order of the empress!"

……

The two palaces brought Zhao Xu back to the Palace of Funing.

The Empress Dowager sent Liang Weijian and ordered Liang Weijian and Shi Deyi to accompany Zhao Xu to study in the palace.

These days, the two palaces did not relax in the slightest towards Zhao Xu's studies.

Except for the two days of the emperor's new funeral, Zhao Xu was not urged to study.

The rest of the time, he was urging Zhao Xu to do his homework.

They seem to have reached a tacit agreement, one to teach, one to counsel, each takes what they need.

Zhao Xu's performance also made them very satisfied.

Smart, sensible, and super understanding!

It is often possible to draw inferences from one instance, and sometimes even borrow the meanings from the Analects of Confucius and the Classic of Filial Piety to interpret the meaning of Spring and Autumn.

It wasn't just the two palaces that were shocked.

It also surprised the two Hanlin scholars behind the two palaces.

Zhao Xu didn't know about these things, and he didn't need to know about them. He didn't care about these things either.

He was just doing what he was supposed to do step by step.

Just like a chameleon, before launching a fatal blow to its prey, it will quietly stand still in place, playing the role of branches, stones, and moss.

Therefore, no matter whether there is anyone to accompany him, he reads seriously and writes his reflections seriously.

This makes the people around him.

Whether it is a female officer or a courtier, they are always amazed.

In the imperial city, up and down, everyone now knows that the emperor loves to read, loves to read, and loves to read.

If these people knew about it, the people of Bianjing would naturally know about it too.

……

Zhao Xu was studying in Funing Hall.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang were in a side hall of Baoci Palace, looking at bullets.

Looking at it, the Empress Dowager Xiang was also aroused by the words on the bullet.

In fact, these censors have found too many materials and dug up too many details.

For example, the censor said that last year, Wang Gui ordered the officials of the Dutang to erase his son Wang Zhongxiu's charge of 'substitution' recorded in the Dutangtang Book without permission.

It also sent someone to revise Wang Zhongxiu's report in the Ministry of Officials, and quietly hid the record that he was reprimanded by Emperor Daxing.

In this way, if someone goes to the Ministry of Officials to inspect and sue him, he will not be able to see Wang Zhongxiu's fault in his appointment as the Huainan Transit Envoy.

And this is just the lightest of the many charges that the censors impeached Wang Gui.

The remaining charges are more exaggerated than the last, and the wording used is also more intense.

The most extreme censor has even shouted: Gui is in the three provinces and two prefectures, harboring treacherous hearts, appointing treacherous men, disrupting the laws of the ancestors, and state regulations... If you don't kill you, you can't thank the world!

"It seems that what Prime Minister Zuo did shocked the government and the public!" After putting down another bullet to the Queen Mother, he didn't bother to read it again.

She looked at the Empress Dowager and asked, "Miss Unknown, have you made a decision?"

The Empress Dowager sighed softly, and said: "It's unfortunate for the country, there are such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous treacherous ministers in the capital!"

"It's not enough to quell the world's grievances without peeling hemp!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she took a deep breath.

Even for Wang Gui, she really wanted to kill him.

However, I am still shocked by the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the aunt!

After becoming the prime minister, does the queen mother know what peeling hemp is?

The nightmare of all civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats, the nightmare of all ministers.

Peeling hemp is the opposite of Xuanma worshiping the prime minister.

It is also the ultimate means for the court to deal with ministers!

This is because of the family law of the ancestors, there is no law for killing and killing.

And the Song Dynasty ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats, so the dignity of the ministers must be preserved.

Therefore, there is a method of peeling hemp.

First declare the hemp and surrender, destroying the honor of the national hero and the minister of the country.

Then he was demoted again, depriving him of his post in the pavilion and all his glory as a minister of poetry.

Then he was demoted step by step, until there was nothing more to demote, and he was demoted to the seventh rank of selection, Si Bowei.

This is what happened to Kou Laigong, Ding Wei, and Cao Li.

At this point, all the ministers and ministers are gone, and all their achievements are destroyed.

If there is no emperor to reverse the case for him, he will never be reborn forever!
"Your Majesty..." The Queen Mother took a deep breath: "Since the ancestors, there have been no ministers who have peeled hemp for six or seventy years, let alone a prime minister?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes: "However, Wang Gui's crime is too serious!"

Naturally, the Empress Dowager Xiang didn't want to show up again.

If you can strip Ma Wanggui today, you can naturally strip Ma another prime minister tomorrow, and even strip her Xiang family's fame!

This is absolutely impossible.

So, she could only go forward and salute: "I also ask your mother to think twice about the past when Kou Laigong was demoted to Yazhou and Leizhou!"

The Gao family, the Xiang family, and the Cao family all had an old relationship with Kou Laigong in the past, and they were all families that kept avenging and running for him after Kou Lai was demoted.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and did not speak.

The small figure of the official family kept popping up in her mind.

"Could it be wronged?" The immature child's voice, like a magic voice, scrambled in the empress dowager's mind.

Officials suspected wronged.

Then it can only be an iron case!
It is best to peel hemp and reduce one to the lowest!
In this way, Wang Gui will be charged with tens of thousands of crimes.

When the officials grow up, there is no way to screen them one by one, let alone distinguish which one is real and which one is fake.

I won't go into it any further.

……

Note: Today’s award was recorded under the March Renyin article in "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Long Story". Only Li Xian’s reward was changed. According to the history books, Li Xian had already been dismissed from the post of introspection at this time due to impeachment.
