I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 109: A target of public criticism, hundreds of officials surrounded the Yushitai
Three days later.

There were suddenly more folk tabloids on the streets of Bianjing, and they all focused on the same theme.

"Xiao Xiwen and Su Jingming."

The headlines in private tabloids are eye-catching.

"The Ten Things in Replying to the Imperial Edict that brought the dead back to life, the reform methods of Su Liang and Su Jingming, the upstarts in the court."

"The big change of Fan Xiwen, the small change of Su Jingming, the new policy of the court is the art of grafting new ideas onto others."

"After Fan Fu, the Taiwanese admonishment officer for the new coup law - Su Liang and Su Jingming."

"A son inherits his father's legacy. Fan Xiwen gives birth to an illegitimate son, Su Liang. Is he forming a party for personal gain or is he enriching the country and the people?"

"The backer behind Supervisory Censor Su Jingming shakes half of the country."

"The lingering sound of cronyism, the reform path of the new reformer Su Jingming."

……

In order to make profits, private tabloids dare to make up any news.

Since they are all black workshops, even Bao Zheng would find it difficult to find the instigator behind the scenes in a short period of time.

The word "reform", to most people who don't know the situation, may just mean changes in some legal measures.

But for most officials in the current court.

Reform is tampering with the laws of the ancestors, which will reduce the favor of officials in the world, make them more rigorous, and make promotion more difficult.

This will make the career of scholar-bureaucrats more bumpy, make it more tiring and difficult for them to serve as officials, and make it difficult for their descendants to enter officialdom with grace.

Naturally they objected strongly.

……

At nearly noon, the imperial censor came to the court.

Su Liang's table was piled with folk tabloids as high as half a person.

Ouyang Xiu, He Tan, and Zhao Pian from the Jian Yuan, and Tang Jie, Fan Zhen, Zhou Yuan, and Lu Jie from the Yushitai all contributed.

Among all the yamen in Bianjing City, when it comes to gathering information from the public, Tai Jian can definitely be ranked No. 2.

No.1 is the unbeatable Imperial City Division.

Su Liang looked through various tabloids with a look of helplessness on his face, unable to laugh or cry.

"This...isn't this nonsense? How could I be Fan Xiwen's illegitimate son? If I were a second-generation official, I wouldn't work so hard!"

"A big change to Fan Xiwen, a small change to Su Jingming? Why do these words sound weird? It doesn't sound like a good thing!"

"I, Su Liang, am so virtuous and capable that I can actually make Ouyang Yongshu, Bao Xiren, Tang Zifang and others all available to me. You must think too highly of me!"

"This... this is trying to flatter me and kill me. This method is really cruel!"

"Oh, last time it was a selfish attack, but this time it was completely groundless. Wouldn't these people use some fresh ways to frame me?"

……

At this time, Yushi Zhongcheng Tang Jie and Zhijianyuan Ouyang Xiu came over.

Ouyang Xiu saw Su Liang's helpless look and said, "Jing Ming, don't let these nonsense affect your mood. They are all nonsense and the officials will not believe it."

Tang Jie on the side looked gloomy.

"Officials won't believe it, but officials may not believe it. They may even choose to believe it."

"If nothing else goes wrong, today's memorial to impeach Jing Ming will probably fill the official court case, which is thicker than these tabloids!"

"They...what can they impeach Jing Ming? They say that Jing Ming is Xiwen's son, which is pure nonsense. They also say that Jing Ming has Fan Fu's power. If we all listen to Jing Ming's words, will the officials believe it?" Ouyang Xiu was angry. said.

Tang Jie shook his head.

"They will only impeach two points. First, Jing Ming is suspected of forming a clique; second, Taiwan's admonishment officer has private contacts with court officials."

Ouyang Xiu suddenly understood and said, "Their purpose is to make Jing Mingping go out to make amends."

Since Taizu and Emperor Taizong, most of the Taiwanese admonishers who caused disputes due to their failure to avoid suspicion would go out to make up for it.

Whether this crime is justified or not depends entirely on the official's judgment.

Su Liang and others all knew that someone was secretly controlling this, and it was most likely Xia Song.

But this is a conspiracy and very difficult to explain.

Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Liang and said: "Jing Ming, if there is an official impeachment and the officials come to question you, you must not follow those people's instructions and ask for release. Once you ask for release, there will be no turning back!"

"Don't worry, Academician Ouyang, I'm strong! It's not that simple to oust me from the position of supervisory censor!" Su Liang said with a smile.

As the saying goes, people are popular but not popular.

Su Liang has indeed been too dazzling in the past two years, which triggered this absurd discussion.

Tang Jie said: "The Yushitai, Jianyuan and Kaifeng Mansion are all supporting you. When it comes to court debate, how can they beat our Yushitai and Jianyuan!"

"Yes, we are here to speak for you!" Ouyang Xiu also said.

Su Liang shook his head slightly.

"I understand your thoughts. But I hope that no matter how the courtiers attack me this time, Yushitai and Jianyuan will not speak for me."

"Taiwan's admonishers each speak independently. If we all work together and still speak for me, then we are really forming a clique. The officials are very repulsive to this. You two also avoid suspicion and don't have to speak for me. This matter is all decided by the officials, and I believe in the officials!" Su Liang said seriously.

Ouyang Xiu and Tang Jie both nodded. If they said anything to help Su Liang, they might actually harm Su Liang.

The identity of the Taiwan admonishment officer is too sensitive.

In the Song Dynasty, there could not be any Taiwanese admonishers who would stick together for someone.

……

Just as Tang Jie expected.

Since noon, the memorial to impeach Su Liang was delivered to Chui Gong Hall like snowflakes.

Some people say that Su Liang is suspected of forming a party for personal gain; some people say that Su Liang is unconventional and unruly, and that he is actually trying to steal the country and reform; some people say that Su Liang is a pawn of Fan and Fu, and he must be suspended and investigated...

Others wrote thousands of words of memorials analyzing Su Liang's actions in the past two years.It is believed that Su Liang first moved the land and then started commerce. When he was planning to build the southern suburbs market, he also wanted to use the imperial army. He was not talented and ambitious, but he was treacherous and disloyal. He wanted to introduce new laws to steal the country and mislead the people, and should be severely punished.

Zhao Zhen is relatively reliable.

All impeachment memorials were left unpublished and ignored.

The current regular dynasty is a dynasty every five days.

It happened that tomorrow was the court meeting, and the officials originally planned to impeach him at the court meeting, but they never thought that Zhao Zhen would directly cancel the court meeting due to poor health.

When officials applied for petitions, Zhao Zhen also disappeared.

Two days later.

Because Tai Jian remained silent and did not speak out at all, a group of courtiers impeached Yushitai and Jian Yuan.

At the moment, the princes of the two governments and three departments have not yet expressed their stance.

They were also waiting and watching to see Zhao Zhen's attitude, but Zhao Zhen made no statement at all.

Most of the officials who really caused trouble were those in the palace.

these officials.

Some of them come from Zhaowen Museum, Shiguan and Jixianyuan.

Some of them come from Taichang Liyuan, Zongzheng Temple, Imperial College, Si Tianjian, etc.

Most of the impeachers are old-school officials with many relatives and children, and they are all over 40 years old.

These people, after having the experience of Fan Fu's reform, are particularly afraid of the reform.

They were afraid that the reform would cause them to lose their official positions and the careers of their children and grandchildren.

In their eyes, their own official position is the most important, followed by the future of their children and grandchildren.

As for whether the imperial court suffered a loss or not, they didn't care.

Everyone feels that it is not a big deal for the imperial court to have a few more people.And they believed that since they had contributed to the court, the court should treat them and their descendants favorably.

Another day, afternoon.

In front of the left Yintai gate of the palace, more than a dozen officials were helplessly wandering down the corridor after being rejected by Zhao Zhen again.

They feel they are righteous.

It is for officials all over the world to come to ask for explanations.

It is to ask officials to remove officials like Su Liang who are greedy for reputation and harbor evil intentions.

I never thought that the officials would ignore it at all.

Recently, Zhao Zhenlong's power is at its peak.

They simply don't have the courage like the Taiwan admonishment officer to dare to make loud noises and confront the emperor forcefully in front of the Chui Gong Palace.

At this time.

An official with a gray beard said: "Everyone, since the officials did not see us, they must have thought of letting this matter go until there is no more discussion among the people before dealing with it. The officials are kind-hearted, but they were deceived by Su Liang. We But we absolutely cannot wait any longer, I suggest that we go and surround the Yushitai now and let Su Liang stand up and give an explanation!"

This official's name is Xu Xiuxin, who is currently the editor of Jixian Hall. He became an official through the kindness of his father.

He is only 40 years old, but his beard and hair are all gray.

Because he gave birth to six sons, and three of them did not receive official positions due to his kindness.

The whole family relies on grace to live.

If Su Liang changes Enyin and disappears, it will kill his family, so he is the most active person in impeaching Su Liang.

"Yes, let's go to the Yushitai now and make the matter as big as possible!" Another official said.

"There are only a dozen of us, and we can't fight with those group of censors. I suggest that we each call out some more people to make the noise louder. If the noise gets bigger, the officials will have to step forward!"

"That's right, we are going to gather hundreds of officials to make this matter a big deal and let the officials see our demands!"

……

After half an hour.

Hundreds of officials surrounded the entrance of the Yushitai with serious faces, shouting for Su Liang to stand up and give an explanation to everyone.

At this moment, inside the Yushitai.

Tang Jie rolled up his sleeves and said to the officials behind him: "Everyone, let's go out and argue with those old stubborns now!"

Su Liang ran out from behind and quickly stopped everyone.

"Brother Zifang, don't cause trouble. If you all go out, it will become a dispute between the Yushitai and the officials. Then everyone will be punished. Wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Yushitai!"

"This is a matter between me and them. Just let me go out alone. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Seeing that Su Liang was very determined, Tang Jie couldn't help but nodded.

At this time.

The supervisory censor Li Xinglujie who was standing behind said to Su Liang: "Jingming, if a fight breaks out, just shout and I will stand behind the door and go out to rescue you!"

Lu Jie's grandfather, Lu Duan, was confused about small things but not big things.

When it comes to big things, Lu Hui is sometimes confused and sometimes not, but he is never confused about small things.

Su Liang felt that he was the best among all the admonishers in Taiwan, but he was not yet out of touch with the world.

Su Liang smiled and nodded, then strode towards the door.

Click!Click!Click!
The vermilion door of the Yushitai slowly opened, and what caught Su Liang's eyes was a group of officials, most of whom were over fifty years old.

If he takes action, he will definitely not do it.

If he really hurt a few old men, Su Liang would be in big trouble.

When these officials saw Su Liang striding out, they all looked at him with gritted teeth, and some even clenched their fists.

　Two updates today, my waist is slightly stiff, and I have the nerve to ask for a monthly ticket, please!
