The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 124

Lingyou Qiuwei still needs to take the exam?
Zhao Ji is still pressing: "Who is the chief examiner?"

"Who is it?" This stopped Liang Xin from asking.

Zhao Ji started to pull at his clothes: "Inform Xiuchao that I want to go see it and be the examiner."

"Don't, don't." Liang Xin quickly advised: "Don't you want to be a saint?"

Zhao Ji was a little anxious: "No, you just told me now about such an interesting thing. I want to go see it and be the examiner."

Liang Xin quickly said: "Don't, don't, this is just Qiu Wei, wait until the Lingyou test before you become the examiner, and first become the sage."

"I'm going."

Liang Xin was so anxious that her head was covered with sweat. Zhao Ji was now very angry. Someone else came over to persuade Zhao Ji to get out.

Find a way quickly.

Liang Xin felt her head start to hurt.

Just when he was about to be unable to hold Zhao Ji back, Liang Xin said: "This is the talented actor Qiu Wei of Bianjing City. There will be more exciting ones during the audition, and there will be people from Pusa Man and Goryeo to participate." If you can try, then it is called wonderful. At this time, it is too ordinary, really too ordinary."

"Really?"

"Really! Think about it, what the Tang Dynasty said, Silla maid, Pusa barbarian."

Only then did Zhao Ji calm down: "Well, it sounds reasonable."

Liang Xin quickly asked the young eunuch to come over and change Zhao Ji's clothes: "It's more interesting to be a sage. I heard that Taijian has prepared many books today."

"Well, then just bear with it for one day." Zhao Ji was finally persuaded, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to court.

Liang Xin rubbed her slightly aching head and let out a long breath.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Ji said again: "I listened to your advice today, but I don't care about the Lingyou Palace Examination. You can find a way."

"It must be done." Liang Xin could only agree to this, otherwise Zhao Ji might not go to court today.

It doesn’t matter the next court meeting.

After Zeng Bu was demoted, it didn't matter whether Zhao Ji went to court or not.

Going to court today was a quarter of an hour later than usual.

Liang Xin sat behind the dragon wall sweating profusely and gave Zhang Dun a helpless and bitter smile.

Zhang Dun didn't need to guess, he thought it must be Zhao Ji who was causing trouble again.

At the beginning of the court meeting, the first person to stand up was originally scheduled to be Han Zhongyan's eldest son. Since he was about to be dismissed from office, he came up to make a fuss first.

However, it was Chen Cisheng who really stood up first.

As soon as Chen Cisheng appeared on the stage, he was full of fire: "My lord, I want to impeach the left prime minister Zeng Bu. He is using the opportunity to attack dissidents and appoint private individuals. How virtuous and capable his son is, and he is worthy of the position of censor Zhongcheng. His party members..."

After a round of impeachment, Chen Cisheng went to court again: "My lord, this is the seventh time to ask for an imperial edict. Taiwan's admonishment is directly appointed by the officials and does not go through the three provinces. The Taiwan's admonition is..."

Zeng Bu stood up slowly.

He has confidence.

Because, above the court, a loser like Han Zhongyan is not worthy of fighting with him, Zhang Dun has resigned, and Fan Chunren is old. He is 74 years old this year. It is just that there is no suitable person for the position of Privy Councilor, otherwise he should go home to retire. right.

Therefore, most of the people in the court now belong to him, and no one can defeat him.

Just when Zeng Bu stood up, Ren Boyu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hit Zeng Bu in the face with a wat board.

This board is the board in the hands of the courtiers when they go to court.

Ren Boyuqiong, it's not a high-end product, it's just a bamboo board. Because it has been used for too long, he is not willing to replace it with ivory according to his official position, so the bamboo board already has thorns.

The board hit him, and blood immediately appeared on Zeng Bu's face.

Before Zeng Bu could get angry, Ren Boyu cursed: "You thief, I have only gone to inspect the river affairs for less than two months, and you are making trouble in the court. What kind of thing is your son? He is not worthy of being promoted to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. I He's not dead yet, and we can't tolerate an old thief like you misbehaving in the court." With that said, Ren Boyu started to tear Zeng Bu's face off.

Zhao Ji glanced at the prompting board. There was no movement for the moment, so he watched quietly.

He used his brain to think about it, and it seemed that it was human nature for Zeng Bu to let his son become a high official.But looking at the reaction in the court at this time, it seems that Zeng Bu was scolded more.

Zhao Ji predicted that he should also scold Zeng Bu for the content on the teleprompter board.

Comply with the majority of people, and then most people will say that you are wise.

At this time, the prompter board appeared.

It was completely different from what Zhao Ji predicted. Zhao Ji didn't think much about it and read it accordingly: "Xiang Han, do you think Chen Cisheng's promotion is feasible?"

Han Zhongyan came out and said: "I think it is the best policy for Taiwan's remonstrance to be only responsible to the officials."

"Then do it this way."

Zhao Ji finished reading the contents of the prompt board.

Han Zhongyan said: "I believe that since Taizu established Taijian, its main role has been to supervise and inspect hundreds of officials headed by the prime minister. The main targets are often the governors of the three provinces. If they are appointed by the three provinces, how can they supervise the responsibilities of the three provinces."

Fan Chunli glanced at me, and Chen Cisheng immediately added: "Officials, I believe that it is our duty to correct evildoers, admonish and refute, push for unjust imprisonment, and audit and supervise. It is better to be directly appointed by an official than to be appointed as a private person."

Zhao Ji glanced at the prompt board: "Ren Qing, regarding the impeachment of Prime Minister Zeng, you will temporarily serve as the presiding judge. Dali Temple will investigate, and Jiang Gongwang and Chen Zhen will be your assistants. Zeng was also treated fairly, so this discussion is over. Give up."

Zeng Bu and Ren Boyu, who were fighting in the court hall, were stunned at the same time.

Zeng Bu glanced at Ren Boyu and thought to himself, would this lunatic still have a way to survive as the chief judge?
The way Ren Boyu looked at Zeng Bu was like looking at fish on a chopping board.

It seems that this old thief Zeng Bu has come to an end.

Even the officials were dissatisfied with his behavior of appointing private persons.

Zeng Bu took a few steps forward, bowed, and wailed: "An official?"

Han Zhongyan said lukewarmly: "The officials just said that this proposal should be dropped. Could it be that Mr. Zeng is deaf?"

When did Han Zhongyan become so tough?

Zeng Bu felt incredible.

After Han Zhongyan finished speaking, his eldest son Han Zhi stood up and said: "I impeach Liang Xin, the school inspector of Zhaowen Hall. Qiu Wei is a major event to recruit scholars. There is actually a talented Qiu Wei in Bianjing City. I heard that Taoyuan Pavilion is hosting this. Liang Xin must be behind the scenes, and I believe that he should bear heavy responsibility."

Zhao Jixin said, "I haven't come close to reward you for such a happy thing, so why should I punish you?"

The prompter board then appears.

After reading this, Zhao Ji subconsciously read: "I will fine Liang the school inspector for one year's salary, and he will be suspended from work for three months and I will think about my fault at home."

"The official sage." Han Zhi shouted and stepped back.

Zhang Ze also stood up at this time.

"I impeach Liang Shicheng, the supervisor of the Western Expedition. The state capital came to report that during the attack on Hehuang, he committed an attack on the captured city. As a supervisor, he should be held responsible for his dereliction of duty."

Zhao Ji looked at the prompting board: "We will discuss rewards and punishments after the war in Hehuang is over."

"The official Shengming."

Zhang Ze also retreated.

Next, the normal process of the court meeting began, and many official matters that needed to be handled were discussed here.

Autumn is also a big event.

Autumn taxes are also a big deal.
