The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 74 Seeing the Impeachment Again
It is easy to transform a space behind and below the dragon wall.

It is three feet wide, equipped with tables and chairs, and uses hidden pipes to connect the two sides of the main hall and the royal platform.It is convenient for the voices in the main hall to be clearly transmitted to this dark pavilion.

Add a secret door, leading directly to the back of Wende Hall.

When going to court, the palace will be surrounded by imperial guards and eunuchs, so it is impossible for anyone to get around the palace.

Zhao Ji practiced it many times.

I feel that this method is much easier to use than the two young eunuchs holding fly whisks in front of the main hall.

What he liked most was the teleprompters hidden on the bases of the huge incense candles on both sides.

Another ten days later.

Great meeting.

Among the important matters to be discussed today, in addition to the Privy Council's determination of the follow-up supply of food and grass for the Western Expedition Army, it is also to determine the position of Fan Chunli's brother after returning to Beijing, and Fan Chunli's right to know the Kaifeng Mansion.Also, give Jiang Gongwang a promotion and agree with his understanding of the current struggle between the old and the new in the court.

At the beginning of Yinshi.

Liang Xin has already changed her clothes.Wearing light linen clothes underneath, and a silk official robe on the outside.

By the way, this time, let alone Wang Jingyu, even Li Qingzhao was full of doubts.

Liang Xin is not a court official, why should she enter the palace?

Naturally, Liang Xin didn't explain it to anyone. Liang Zhong's tone was quite strict.

What's more, this is a head-turning matter, who dares to talk nonsense.

The meeting begins.

Starting from Little Kalami, a group of seventh-grade court officials began to hold their own small boards and prepare to speak.

Zhao Ji sat on the throne and began to recall his first official court meeting after he ascended the throne, that is, after the funeral of his brother.

At that time, I was so hesitant...

Zhao Ji is recalling.

Only one person came forward: "Officials, I impeach Liang Shicheng, the general manager of the Calligraphy and Art Bureau."

what?
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment.

Liang Xin, who was hiding behind the dragon wall, was also stunned for a moment.

The seventh-rank junior official in the Ministry of Punishment continued: "Liang Shicheng led people to search the prisoner Cai Jing's house. Based on the account books of Cai Jing's house, I found out that Cai Jing and Cai Bian's concubines, cousins, and The number of maidservants. Later, the Ministry of Rites recorded the number of people earning income from the church, and then the Ministry of Punishment recorded the number of people dismissed. It cannot be verified."

"I thought that a total of 11 people were missing. I checked around and found out that there were six family members of the criminal officials in Jiangnan, two family members of the criminal officials from the North Road of Hezhi Road, and they were from..."

Okay, okay, this one is spraying.

The meaning is very clear. The number of people does not match. Where did Liang Shicheng hide these people?

After spraying, another person came out and walked out with a small board.

"In the official family, I impeached Zhaowenguan's school inspector and robbed good families..."

Sitting behind the dragon wall, Liang Xin began to think about how to deal with this matter. Holding a pen hanging in the air, how to write on this word prompting board?

But when he heard a loud shout from the throne, Zhao Ji became angry.

Zhao Jixin said that at the first court meeting when I ascended the throne, Wu Juhou jumped out and impeached me.

Today, I am full of confidence and will hold a grand meeting to showcase the aura of the Holy King.

You people are actually impeaching me again.

That 11 people.

Those 11 people...

Zhao Ji knows it better than anyone else, right in his own palace.

You are so hateful.

Zhao Ji stood up: "Arrogant... to the extreme!"

When Zhao Ji became angry, Liang Xin got an idea and immediately wrote on the teleprompter board. A young eunuch quickly passed the teleprompter board to the front. Another young eunuch leaning in the corner quickly opened the trap and lifted the teleprompter board in his hand. The word board was raised.On the imperial stage, after Zhao Ji finished cursing, he actually had no words left.

Just then, the prompter board appeared.

So sweet, so sweet.

Zhao Ji glanced at the prompting board, took two steps forward, brewed his emotions for a while, and then said: "Whenever there is a major matter to be discussed in the court, you will interfere with some trivial matters that are not on the table. Jiang Si Jian's superior Shu is right, using the court to criticize dissidents, I now ask, Fan Qing, is it okay for you to know the Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zeng Bu was calmed down.

These two minor officials are his people.

His goal is very clear, which is to take away Liang Shicheng while Liang Shicheng is not in Bianjing. Even if he cannot be taken away, he still has to suppress him.Only by defeating Liang Shicheng can he get closer to Zhao Ji and take himself one step further as a quasi-emperor master.

When Zhao Ji asked this question, the hall became quiet.

A new teleprompter board came out.

Zhao Ji sat on the throne: "Mr. Han, what do you think?"

"This, that..." Han Zhongyan felt very uncomfortable. He was already a bit cowardly. At this time, he knew very well that Fan Chunli was not compatible with both the new law and the old law. He was also smelly and tough. This man was promoted to the position of the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, which meant nothing to him. benefit.

But when the emperor asked, he couldn't object, and if he said he supported it, he wasn't willing.

Zhao Ji glanced at the third prompting board: "That's all, that's all, I won't embarrass you anymore. Since you don't have the talent to make plans and make decisions, you can avoid Zuo Pushe."

After speaking, Zhao Ji asked again: "Mr. Zeng, what do you think?"

Zeng Bu understood that if he objected, he might be dismissed from the prime ministership.

He immediately said: "I think it is none other than Duke Fan."

"Okay." Zhao Ji stood up again: "Since Zeng Xianggong thought it was good, he drafted an edict. Fan Chunli had the power to know the Kaifeng Mansion, and Fan Chunren returned to the capital to be the privy envoy. Han Zhongyan was relieved of his duties as a servant of the left and was reassigned to the right of the servant. Zeng was relieved of his duties as a servant of the right. , enter Zuopushe."

"When we draft the edict again, Privy Council Fan will return to Beijing and we must pay close attention to matters related to the Western Expedition. I will meet at court in five days. I want to see if everyone in the court is working together to pacify the northwest of the Song Dynasty."

"Finally, the edict is drafted. Fan Quan knows about Kaifeng and is investigating the matter concerning the 11 people in Cai Jing's Mansion. The investigation is about the young lady of the Li family."

"Retreat from the court." Zhao Ji waved his hand and turned to leave.

Cool.

Zhao Ji felt refreshed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Quarrel?
I won't give you a chance to argue. I am the emperor of the Holy Ming Dynasty!
Zhao Ji could hardly hold back and started laughing loudly.

Above the court, all the ministers were indeed suppressed by Zhao Ji's momentum today, and the two seventh-rank officials were trembling.

Zeng Bu didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Became the left prime minister and No. 1 in the government.

However, the official's reaction was a bit strange. Could it be that Liang Shicheng couldn't move.

Zeng Bu walked out with his thoughts on his mind.

As for Han Zhongyan, his steps have become much brisker today. He really does not have the ability to make decisions.From the left phase to the right phase, I felt a lot more relaxed.

Where is Fan Chunli?

After leaving the main hall, Chen Cisheng greeted him.

The two held hands with each other and walked out side by side.

When there was no one around the two of them, Chen Cisheng read a poem: The rolling water of the Yangtze River passes eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.Right or wrong, success or failure turns around in vain...

Fan Chunli nodded: "Thank you."

Afterwards, the two of them went back to their respective offices. They still had a lot of official business to deal with.

A poem.

Chen Cisheng reminded Fan Chunli.

Fan Chunli was smelly and tough, but he was Fan Zhongyan's son. Although his eldest brother had passed away, he still had a second brother and a younger brother.They are all official positions of third rank or higher. He has been an official for many years, so he knows some things.
