I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 12 No overtime!Answer the questions on time and leave the office on time

that day.

Zhou Yuan, the supervisory censor, submitted the impeachment chapter against Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang to the imperial court through the Bank and Taiwan Department.

The most awesome place in Taijian.

That is, you can go beyond the middle book and present the chapters directly to the monarch.

Later, as Zhou Yuan expected, Zhao Zhen chose to stay in after reviewing it.

Two days later.

The "Etiquette Drama of Extreme Pulling Between Monarchs and Ministers" that happened almost every year in the Great Song Dynasty Hall began to be staged.

Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang begged to resign because he was old, frail, and had five teeth missing. He was not qualified for the post of prime minister, but Emperor Zhao Zhen refused.

Zhang Dexiang asked to resign again, but Zhao Zhen still refused.

Zhang Dexiang then asked to resign, but Zhao Zhen still refused.

Zhang Dexiang asked to resign again, but Zhao Zhen still refused.

……

The ministers tried their best to resign, but the emperor refused to do so.

This is a classic program in the court. There are two types of resignations. They usually appear on senior ministers or important ministers.

First, I resigned from acting.

Officials knew that the emperor could not depose them, but they had a rift with the emperor due to something or wanted to achieve a certain goal, so they used this to put pressure on the emperor, which basically ended with the emperor bowing his head.

Second, I really don’t want to do it anymore.

Faced with this situation, the emperor had to pretend to disagree and sincerely persuade him to stay in order to show his virtue, kindness and kindness.

After the ministers wrote several letters of resignation, the emperor reluctantly agreed with words such as "The court is sad to lose a talented person, and I am very sad."

Zhang Dexiang is obviously the second type.

At the beginning of this year, he had plans to retire.

Within five days.

Zhang Dexiang wrote more than ten speeches and memorials.

Some ministers also began to accompany him in the performance, and they all reported that this pillar of talent was indispensable to the court.

Zhao Zhen made annotations on the memorial to express his reluctance and grief.

After such a fuss and proving the virtuousness of the emperor and the loyalty of his ministers, Zhao Zhen was relieved of his post as prime minister.

After a generous reward, he was appointed as the governor of Zhen'an Army and Tongping Zhangshi.

This is also done to let other ministers see the king's kindness.

As long as you contribute to the court, you can enjoy your old age with both fame and fortune.

Immediately afterwards, Zhongshu's position changed.

Du Yan, the privy envoy, became the prime minister, and Jia Changchao, the political counselor, became the privy envoy.

In the Song Dynasty, it was very common for the privy envoys and the counselors to change their political affairs.

The position of Privy Councilor can be done by almost any dog.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen wanted to promote Chen Zhizhong from Zhiqingzhou to participate in political affairs.

After hearing the news.

Cai Xiang and Sun Fu from the Jian Yuan suddenly couldn't sit still.

in the Song Dynasty.

There is a serious chain of contempt among court officials.

Officials who came from Jinshi looked down upon officials who came from Enyin, and officials who came from Enyin looked down on officials who came from Liren.

The above three all look down on military attaches who rely on military merit to supplement their awards.

Chen Zhizhong's father was Chen Shu, the prime minister in the Zhenzong period of Taizong. He entered the official position under the influence of his father, and his current reputation and official performance are average.

Most people who are born in Enyin can only get a casual position, unless they have great achievements.

It is easy for a second-generation official like Su Shunqin to be an official with grace.

But I still studied hard and took pride in passing the Jinshi exam. This is the reason.

The three important positions of Zhongshu Xianggong and Privy Council are reserved for officials with Jinshi background.

Cai Xiang and Sun Fu believed that Chen Zhizhong was "little and arrogant, uneducated and unskilled, and not a prime minister".

The two entered the Chui Gong Hall and argued with the emperor Zhao Zhen. They had a heated argument, but in the end they could not reach a conclusion. …

Yushitai, inside the Chaoyuan.

Su Liang and Zhou Yuan naturally heard the news.

At this time, Zhou Yuan, because of his successful impeachment of Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang, was in high spirits and was very concerned about government affairs. He seemed to have regained his original intention of becoming an official.

"Jingming, I think it makes sense for the admonishment court to impeach Chen Zhizhong. Should we follow suit?"

Su Liang thought for a while and shook his head slightly.

"It's useless to follow. The outcome of this matter has been decided. What Cai Jianyuan said is largely because Chen Zhizhong became an official because of his kindness. The reason is insufficient. I don't agree with this. Why can't someone who is not a Jinshi? Where’s your appearance?”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but be startled.

"Jingming, you can't say this. Our dynasty has always advocated that the king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. Unless those who are not Jinshi serve as prime ministers and have great achievements, they will naturally attract criticism!"

Su Liang smiled slightly.

"Brother Zixiong, don't forget that Chen Zhizhong has made great achievements, and he is also a follower of the dragon."

"From the power of the dragon?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

During the reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Chen Zhizhong made many memorials to the court, imploring the court to establish a heir apparent as soon as possible, and then Zhao Zhen was established as the crown prince.

This achievement can be regarded as the merit of Conglong.

This is also the key to Chen Zhizhong's smooth career.

"Isn't this... this... taking a shortcut by relying on the emperor's favor? We should impeach him more!" Zhou Yuan puffed out his chest and said.

Su Liang shook his head again.

"The officials have already expressed their attitude, and there is no one more suitable than Chen Zhizhong at the moment. If you give advice, it will not do any good except making the officials unhappy. I, Su Jingming, never give useless advice. Let the officials If you are in trouble, it will not benefit the country, so it is better not to give advice."

"It seems...that's the truth!" A smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's face.

Most of the Taiwanese admonishers love to make excuses.

We have to argue about right and wrong on many insignificant things.

Su Liang didn't want to let himself become a Taiwanese admonisher with an aggressive and oppositional personality who spoke like a sword and used his sword to harm others as well as the country.

At present, the censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen is a counterexample.

He thinks he is the embodiment of justice and fairness, and thinks that people and things that differ from his own political views are the fault of others, and he has to fight to win or lose.

In fact, it is a leaf that obscures the vision, and the summer insects speak of ice.

Su Liang looked out the window.

"Oops, it's office time again. Brother Zixiong, let's see you tomorrow!" Su Liang got up and walked outside.

Going to the office means getting off work.

Zhou Yuan looked at Su Liang's back and couldn't help but reveal a rather amused expression.

Most of the censors at the Censorship Station had a straight face, held a pen, and kept a straight face. They walked in pursuit of the wind. When they were not on the way to impeachment, they were on the way thinking about impeachment.

But this Su Jingming.

The chapter is as sharp as an axe, but the person is as warm as the spring breeze.

He has a smile on his face all day long, like a young man with no worries.

And when there is no urgent official business to deal with, he never works late at night (overtime).

Come to work on time and leave office on time.

When Zhou Yuan first joined Tai Jian, he stayed up late into the night almost every day.

Sometimes even without official duties, one has to work hard just to gain a reputation for hard work.

"An official should be like Su Jingming, so talented, so talented!"

Zhou Yuan was about to get off work when he suddenly saw the censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen walking into the courtyard and entering the room opposite.

He couldn't help but sit down quickly again.

When Zhou Yuan saw Wang Gongchen sitting in the house for a long time, he also pretended to be busy.

He also knew that this was superficial.

But the benefits of this move were so obvious that he had to do it.
