I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 130 Impeachment three times in five days, scolded by the master Gao Ruona
"Tai Jian old man?"

When Bao Zheng heard this title, he couldn't help but look at Xia Song and said, "Xia Shuxiang, you call me an old person from Taijian. Can I understand that I am suspected of being in a faction with Taijian?"

"I didn't say that!" Xia Song retorted immediately.

At present, the label of forming a party cannot be used randomly. If it is not used properly, it is easy to be relegated to the outside world.

Especially if this label is placed on Bao Zheng, no one will believe it.

At this time.

Another official stood up and said: "Although the official family and the Taiwan admonishment officials cannot decide political affairs, they are indeed unanimous in dealing with the outside world at the moment. They have interfered with the official decision-making more than the Zhongshu Prime Minister. This trend must not increase." ah!"

Ouyang Xiu took a step forward and looked at the official.

"What is interference? What is unanimous communication with the outside world? When discussing matters in court, is the debate about right or wrong or about the strength of power? If the Taiwan admonishment officials make mistakes, you can refute them with reason, and the officials will make a clear decision. Everyone, please What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Taiwanese admonishers will take control of the court and sideline the governors? If the governors do everything for the country and the people, we, the Taiwanese admonishers, would love not to write articles of impeachment every day!"

Ouyang Xiu has never been wronged.

This remark not only dismissed the official's words, but also made a mockery of the current ruler.

"That's enough!" Zhao Zhen shouted.

If the two sides continue to quarrel, they will really become two hostile forces.

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Tell me one thing at a time."

"First of all, regarding the matter of Teng Zongliang, I think that during the period when Teng Zongliang was appointed governor of Yuezhou, his political achievements and public opinion were obvious to all, and he was a model for prefecture governors in the world. There is no problem in being appointed governor of Suzhou. As for the corruption you mentioned, he has already been punished. Don’t bring up old things again or hold on to them!”

Hear this.

The Taijian officials were all delighted, while Chen Zhizhong and Xia Song looked helpless. Unexpectedly, the officials still favored the Taijian officials.

Zhao Zhen continued: "As for the issue of Taiwan's remonstrance being powerful, I have already seen the clues!"

"The Taiwanese admonishers dislike Zhongshu's decision-making for being too slow, and Zhongshu also thinks that the Taiwanese admonishers are too interfering. This situation has always happened. I hope that everyone can understand each other. If you help each other, it will be a win-win situation, and if you impeach each other, it will be a win-win situation." Lose, I don’t want to see Zhongshu and Taijian Shangzou slandering each other for no reason in the future.”

Xia Song's face was dark, the officials were too biased in advising.

at this time.

Zhao Zhen added: "I will announce another appointment."

"Gao Ruona, who is a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and knows the Yongxing Army, is appointed as the censor and miscellaneous official at the Yushitai. He will go to the Yushitai today to take up his post.

Upon hearing this appointment, Chen Zhizhong was the first to understand and said loudly: "The officials are wise!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Song's face.

Ouyang Xiu, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly.

This Gao Ruona is none other than someone else.

One of the "evils and evildoers" scolded by Shi Jie was Gao Ruona.

The "one unworthy" in Cai Xiang's poem "Four Virtues and One Unworthy" is Gao Ruona.

The Gao Si admonished Gao Ruona in Ouyang Xiu's "Book of Remonstrances with Gao Si".

Shi Jie called Gao Ruona a traitor.

Cai Xiang called Gao Ruona an unworthy person.

Ouyang Xiu said that Gao Ruona followed the trend and catered to the then Prime Minister Lu Yijian, and no longer knew that there was shame in the world.

Among them, the poem "Four Sages and One Unworthy" and "Admonition to Gao Si" were spread to Liao and Xixia.

Gao Ruone's reputation was completely ruined.

At that time, Gao Ruona was still a Taiwan admonishment officer.

An admonisher was scolded like this, and it spread to Liao and Xia, and there was no one in the entire Song Dynasty.

But Gao Ruone still believed that he was not wrong and was framed by a group of unscrupulous scholars.

He serves as the censor and knows miscellaneous matters. He is the second-in-command of the censor station, second only to the censor Zhongcheng.

Zhao Zhen placed Gao Ruona on the censor's desk, which was like driving a nail in the middle of the admonishing officials.

Although Su Liang was not happy.

But from Zhao Zhen's perspective, this is indeed the right choice.

With Gao Ruona's power to curb the expansion of Taiwan's remonstrances, he also accepted the wishes of Tai's remonstrances and made Teng Zongliang the magistrate of Suzhou.

Zhao Zhen's move is quite similar to the way of balance of the sage.

The officials each took a step back, unwilling to argue any further.

The meeting ends here.

……

June eighteenth.

50-year-old Gao Ruona returned to Bianjing.

He has a tall and thin build, a goat's beard, a Chinese character face, and gray hair, but he is very energetic.

Gao Ruona was an all-rounder. Not only was he a Jinshi, he was also good at astronomy and medicine.

His medical skills are comparable to those of doctors in some medical clinics in Bianjing City.

However, he has a bad temper and is known for his stubbornness.

In front of the censor's stage.

Gao Ruonei looked at the vermilion door and murmured: "I have been an official for half my life, and I have been slandered and slandered."

"This time, the officials have given me a chance to speak again. I must regain my reputation and let the world know that Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, Shi Jie and others are just vulgar scholars in name only. I am Gao Ruona, Fang A true censor who serves the country and the people!"

Gao Ruona can be regarded as the predecessor of Tang Jie, the imperial censor.

Tang Jie immediately went out to greet him personally and took him to Taiyuan.

There are three courtyards in Yushitai.

They are Taiyuan, Dianyuan and Chagyuan respectively. The chief officials are Shi Yushi, Dian Zhongshi Yushi and Supervisory Yushi respectively.

Among them, there is one quota for the imperial censor, two quotas for the censor in the palace, and four to six places for the supervisory censor.

However, the current Procuratorate only has one supervisory censor, Su Liang, and two supervisory censors, Li Xing.

Su Liang didn't have much favorable impressions of the new Shi Yushi and Zhi Zashi, and had no intention of provoking him.

... As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office.

As the second-in-command of the Censor's Office, he can take care of everything.

Day two.

Some bookkeepers, prosecutors, and scribes were criticized by Gao Ruona.

For example, you must not make loud noises in the censor's desk; you must handle official duties carefully, and there must be no wrinkles on a book page; even some minor officials were severely punished by Gao Ruona for chatting for a long time in the toilet.

For a time, the atmosphere at the Yushitai became depressing.

this day.

Su Liang was reading the newspapers of the past few days in the procuratorate, when Zhou Yuan came over, somewhat dumbfounded, holding a memorial in his hand and said: "Jingming, Gao Yushi impeached you for three major crimes! "

"what?"

Su Liang couldn't help but be stunned.

Gao Ruona had only been in Yushitai for four days, and Su Liang had only met him once.

Su Liang opened the copied memorial and after reading it, he couldn't help but said: "It's all nitpicking."

The first mistake was to fall asleep at the table after midnight.

The second mistake is that there are cases of early release of yamen.

The third mistake was that he gathered people in the procuratorate to talk and laugh, without the manners of an admonishing official.

"This memorial was not only submitted to the officials, but also to Zhongshu. You'd better explain it." Zhou Yuandao.

Although this is a minor problem, it is indeed Su Liang's fault.

Su Liang nodded.

He slept soundly at the table and left the office early because his son Su Zimu had been bothering him too much these days.

As for talking and joking in the procuratorate, it was the chatting time of the officials in the procuratorate in the afternoon.

As long as it is not known to outsiders, Su Liang feels that this can help everyone do their errands.

He was not prepared to change this one.

Immediately, Su Liang wrote a memorandum of explanation and submitted it.

Zhao Zhen's management of the daily official affairs of officials is relatively loose. If there is something wrong at home, as long as it does not delay the official affairs, he will generally not punish him.

really.

After Su Liang finished explaining, neither the official nor Zhongshu said anything.

Su Liang had no intention of meeting Gao Ruona.

The latter has just come to Taiwan to remonstrate, and he probably wants to write a few more articles of impeachment to show his merits!
The next day, Gao Ruona impeached Su Liang again.

Gao Ruona said that Su Liang and Bao Zheng, a bachelor of Longtuge and an acquaintance of Kaifeng Prefecture, drank in a street tavern at night, without any regard for the fact that Taiwan admonishment officials should avoid suspicion with other yamen chief officials and should not meet in private.

This time, Su Liang chose to ignore him.

The friendship between Su Liang and Bao Zheng was known to all officials in the court.

throughout Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng may have only one good friend, and that is Su Liang.

The two are both teachers and friends, and based on their character, it is impossible for them to do anything that goes beyond the rules of etiquette.

The whole court knew that Tai Jian Guan should not get too close to the chief officials of other yamen in private. They also knew that Bao Zheng was very close to Su Liang, but no one tried to impeach him.

Because this is something the officials tacitly approve of.

Gao Ruona didn't know whether he didn't know or was pretending to be confused, so he used this matter to impeach Su Liang.

Zhao Zhen simply left this memorial unpublished.

Two days later.

Gao Ruonei submitted the memorial for the third time, still impeaching Su Liang.

This time, he said that Su Liang had a particularly close relationship with the producers of folk tabloids and was suspected of manipulating public opinion and controlling public speech. He suggested that Su Liang be expelled from the stage to advise.

He was impeached three times in five days.

Su Liang was immediately angry and went straight to Yushitaiyuan.

In the courtyard.

Su Liang stood in the courtyard and said loudly: "Where is Gao Yushi? Please come out and talk."

After a while.

Gao Ruona strode out of the house, and some officials from the Taiwan Courtyard also gathered around.

Su Liangdao: "Gao Yushi, you have impeached me three times in five days. As the censor of the Yushitai and also know the miscellaneous things, if you only focus on trivial matters, I suggest that you go to Kaifeng Mansion to be a patrol officer. .”

Gao Ruona walked up to Su Liang.

"I do my work openly and aboveboard. As an admonishing officer of the Taiwanese government, you, Su Jingming, arrived late and left early, slept soundly at the table, and made loud noises in the Taiwanese courtyard. This violates the Taiwanese order. How can I not impeach you!"

"In addition, you have too many personal relationships with other Yamen chiefs, and you also have a close relationship with the producers of private tabloids. Is this what a Taiwanese admonishment officer should do?"

"From today on, I will be keeping an eye on you. If you behave like this in the future, I will use all my strength to drive you, the black sheep, out of Yushitai!"

Gao Ruona puffed up his chest and spoke righteously.

Hear this.

Su Liang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He seemed to see the natural opponent Wang Gongchen. He was the only light of the Song Dynasty, and everyone else was a stain.

Su Liang smiled faintly, turned his face and left the courtyard.

There is no point in arguing with people who live in their own world.

He is also not afraid of impeachment.

It is impossible for such trivial matters to remove Su Liang from the position of supervising the censor.

At this moment, Su Liang suddenly understood why he had been scolded more than Xia Song.
