I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 132: Impeachment of colleagues is based on imagination, Zhao Zhen reorganizes the court

The next day, around noon.

Zhao Zhen looked at the more than ten memorials placed on the imperial desk with an angry look on his face.

Yesterday, Zhao Zhen saw clearly what Fei Wu, an idle man on the street, did.

However, the content of these memorials is far from the actual situation.

Shi Wenyuan, the judge of Dali Temple, said: On the first day of the southern suburbs market yesterday, rotten pork appeared in the market. Zhao Yun, the king of Runan County, used his power to suppress people. He knew that Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Prefecture would arrest the buyers and put them in prison, but ordered the stall owners to continue selling. , the treatment is obviously unfair.

Xu Lu, secretary of Chongwen College, said: The carrion problem that appeared on the opening day of the southern suburbs market was actually caused by Kaifeng Prefecture's poor supervision, and another official should be sent to conduct a strict investigation.

The memorial written by Dr. Bai Qinde of Taichang Temple is even more outrageous.

He said that from the carrion incident, it can be seen that the Nanjiao Market has been classified as the private property of Zhao Yunrang, Cao Yi and Bao Zheng, and the court should deal with it strictly, otherwise it will lead to a greater trend of corruption.

……

There are more than ten impeachment memorials, all of which are different.

However, these officials saw "an unwarranted huge crisis" from the small matter of rotten meat, and implored Zhao Zhen to severely punish Zhao Yunrang, Cao Yi and Bao Zheng.

This is completely fabricated out of thin air and maliciously framed...

Zhao Zhen was angry.

Not just angry about this.

He saw from this incident that he had been deceived countless times by some courtiers.

This time, if he had not gone to the private server for a private visit, he would not have met Fei Wu.

He saw these memorials.

There is a high probability that servants and officials will be sent to monitor.

Even if no results are found, under the persuasion of some courtiers, he may replace officials to manage and monitor the southern suburbs market.

This kind of official replacement is undoubtedly not conducive to the normal operation of the southern suburbs market.

"The impeachment of colleagues is all based on imagination and personal likes and dislikes. What is the use of raising these officials!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said to the chamberlain on the side: "Tell Zhongshu that there will be a special court meeting tomorrow morning. If they ask anything, you will tell them in advance!"

"Yes, official!"

The chamberlain nodded quickly and said that he had never seen Zhao Zhen so angry.

……

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the fourth watch.

The officials slowly walked towards the Daqing Hall. This sudden court meeting made them a little confused.

After a while.

The officials came to Daqing Hall.

In the middle of the Daqing Hall, there is a long table with memorials placed on it.

Zhang Mao stood aside and said loudly: "Everyone, the official has an order. After you have read all the twelve memorials on the table, he will go to the palace to preside over the court meeting."

The officials were very curious and immediately picked up the memorial.

Soon.

The expressions on the officials' faces became wonderful.

Some officials couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that these memorials were all about impeaching the supervisors of the southern suburbs market, Zhao Yunrang, Cao Yi, and Bao Zheng.

Some have even started preparing manuscripts.

After all, the southern suburbs market destroyed the interests of too many clan relatives and scholar-bureaucrats.

Some officials were stunned when they saw the memorial written by themselves, wondering whether it was good or bad.

Some officials also frowned.

These memorials are all one-sided statements with no real evidence.

They didn't think that this court was to punish Zhao Yun and the three of them, but they might have other intentions.

After Chen Zhizhong read it, he squinted his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Xia Song looked towards the side hall, as if trying to figure out what Zhao Zhen was thinking.

Bao Zheng's expression remained as usual.

It is not that he has never been impeached, but those who impeached him have never won.

Gao Ruone's face was excited, as if he felt that he had room to perform again.

A smile appeared on Su Liang's face.

He knew the whole story best, and he felt that the official family might start to reorganize the court.

... a moment later.

Zhang Mao made sure that all the officials had read the memorial, and then Zhao Zhen came out from behind.

As soon as Zhao Zhen sat on the throne, an official came out impatiently.

"In the official family, Prince Runan, Uncle Cao Guo, and Bao Xiren were suspected of using their power to bully the people, and were impeached by twelve officials. I believe this matter must be severely punished!"

"I second the proposal. I have long believed that the southern suburbs market is not a good idea. If the commercial and trade management rights are completely handed over to the people and placed outside Bianjing City, chaos will easily occur. The secret money transactions cannot be traced at all!"

"I suggest that a strict investigation be carried out immediately. Even if they are relatives of the clan, they should be dealt with seriously to appease the people!"

These three "great wisdoms".

Obviously wanting to take the lead, he stood up first.

It's a pity that they will get it wrong.

Zhao Zhen raised his head and said: "You three will stand at the entrance of the hall first. Whoever agrees with them, no need to go into details, will also stand at the entrance of the hall first. I want to see how many people are there?"

Zhao Zhen looked cold.

As long as the officials are not stupid, they can see that standing at the entrance of the hall is obviously not a good thing.

The three officials stood behind the door, but no one followed them.

Seeing that no one was moving anymore, Zhao Zhen slowly stood up.

"I am very sad, very sad!"

"I came to Xu Tai's admonishment officials to talk about things in the wind, with the intention of preventing the slightest mistake and allowing the monarch to obtain more information. However, the Tai's admonition officials did not rely on this privilege to attack at will. Most of the things they said were well-founded!"

"But what about some ministers... These more than ten memorials are all made up of nothing and nonsense. Did these people understand what happened when they wrote the memorials?"

At this time, a minister stood up.

"Officials, this is what I should investigate and find out. The Prince of Runan County and Bao Xiren did not take away the suspect vendor in the matter of carrion in the southern suburbs market!"

The one who stood up was Xu Lu, the secretary of Chongwen Academy.

It was he who said that Zhao Yunrang, Cao Yi and Bao Zheng had a tendency to classify the southern suburbs market as private property.

Zhao Zhen looked at him.

"Did your agent personally see Bao Xiren conniving with the stall owner? Your agent saw with his own eyes that the King of Runan County used his power to suppress others, and your agent saw that the three of them had a tendency to embezzle the money from the southern suburbs market?"

Zhao Zhen's three consecutive questions left Xu Lu speechless. The official family had never been so serious, and it made people feel that there was a heavy murderous aura.

At this time, Gao Ruonei felt that his opportunity had come.

He raised his chest and said: "In the official family, I believe that the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid. If there is no problem with the three people of Runan County and Prince, they will naturally not be afraid of the court's investigation. I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the world. !”

Zhao Zhen ignored Gao Ruona. He looked at the ministers and walked down slowly.

"That day, I was in the carriage next to the pork stall. I could see and hear clearly. Bao Xiren bluntly said that the buyer hid the carrion in the carriage and horse before entering the market, and there was proof. Therefore, He was just taken away without questioning the stall owner!"

"Will I see it wrong? Will I hear it wrong? Will I protect these three people?"

"boom!"

Zhao Zhen overturned the long table in the center of the hall, and the memorials were scattered on the ground.

For a while, the court became quiet.

Xu Lu, the secretary of Chongwen Academy, slowly backed away and slowly moved to the entrance of the main hall.

Gao Ruonei lowered his head.

Zhao Zhen continued: "How can the Song Dynasty be prosperous and powerful if the court is not at peace? How can the Song Dynasty be prosperous and peaceful because officials are thinking about intrigues all day long?"

"The people who can stand in the Daqing Hall are all scholar-bureaucrats who have read the books of sages for more than ten years. Why do they do things so sloppily? Why do they attack their colleagues without considering the facts at all? Why do they do unfounded scandals and slander their colleagues all day long? It has become a bad habit; you are gossiping, like a talkative woman, the energy and energy of our Great Song Dynasty have been exhausted by people like you!"

"With such ministers in the court, how can I prosper the Song Dynasty? How can I cut off Xia and Liao's annual coins? How can I make the people on the border of the Song Dynasty stand up when they see the soldiers of Liao and Xia? How can I have This is an opportunity to fulfill Taizu Taizong’s last wish and regain Yanyun!”

"I'm so disappointed in you!" After saying that, Zhao Zhen walked away.

In the Daqing Hall, all the officials bowed their heads.

The officials seemed to be scolding the dozen or so officials who indiscriminately slandered their colleagues, but in fact they were scolding all the officials.

Infighting can't force the Song Dynasty.

This is a warning to all officials.

In addition, this was the first time that officials heard Zhao Zhen's voice. It turned out that the officials wanted to cut off the annual coins given to Liaoxia and wanted to regain Yanyun...

This is something that many officials dare not even think about or even dream about.

And this moment.

Su Liang's eyes were bright, and he murmured in his heart: "The official family has become like a saint, and our Song Dynasty can be prosperous!"
