I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 21 Refuting the Chen Shishi Book, the officials are my backers

In the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Zhen was smiling.

"Su Liang, I very much agree with what you just said. I am going to ask you to compile what you just said into a document and circulate it to all officials for reading. As for the name, let's call it "The Book of Refutations and Chen Shishi". I promise you How about writing it in three days?”

A refutation of Chen Shishi's book?

Hearing this name, Su Liang was obviously taken aback, and then said excitedly: "It's you, the official... you are cunning... you are wise, this is really a good strategy!"

Su Liang was excited.

I almost didn't say the word "wily".

The publication of the "Book of Refutations of Chen Shi Shi" meant that the government announced the failure of the New Deal.

This avoided the embarrassment of Zhao Zhen personally announcing the failure of the New Deal, and also gave the half-dead New Deal a decent ending.

The failure of the New Deal was not due to its policies but to its poor execution.

After reformists such as Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi understood the holy will, they would inevitably resign from their posts as governors and then request to be released.

This article gave a step forward to the officials and reformists such as Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi. It can be said to have solved the big trouble in the court.

In addition, it is also of great benefit to Su Liang.

From then on, no one would ever hear rumors that Su Liang was forming a party with the reformists, because Su Liang defeated the New Deal in one article and could be called the destroyer of the New Deal.

The only negative impact may be that Su Liang will be abused by some people who have no brainless support for the New Deal.

But Su Liang didn't care about this at all.

He has official backing!

He believed.

After Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and others read this article, they will not think that Su Liang is suppressing the New Deal, but will reflect on the problems of the New Deal.

This is of great benefit to the current Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Su Liang had a new view of this emperor who was always known for his kindness.

This official has far-reaching strategies!
Su Liang was just trying to save himself, but he never expected to solve the uncertain New Deal issues in the Song Dynasty.

"I must write well!" Su Liang handed over his hand again.

Zhao Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, a small yellow door came to report.

The censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen and the admonishment court Youzhengyan Qian Mingyi requested an audience.

Zhao Zhen looked at Su Liang with a smile.

"These two people must be here to impeach you. Please listen before you leave, and I will give you a break!"

Su Liang was immediately happy.

This feeling of being supported by someone is so great!

He felt that after writing "Book of Refutations and Ten Matters", he would be able to walk sideways on the Yushitai for at least half a month.

Su Liang immediately held his hands and stood aside.

soon.

Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi walked into the hall with their heads held high.

This time, they weren't just talking about it based on hearsay.

In private tabloids, Su Liang's words that satirized the government and complimented the new party were all marked.

Ouyang Xiu and Shi Jie praised Su Liang, but they were also suspected of forming a party.

The common people have quickly regarded Su Liang as Fan Zhongyan's successor.

The two of them felt that Su Liang would be expelled from the Yushitai today.

But when they saw Su Liang standing nearby, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Zhen sat upright and said, "What's the matter?"

Immediately, Wang Gongchen began to impeach Su Liang.

From Su Liang's compliments to the New Party and his satire on the current government in his memorials and speeches, to the praise of Su Liang by Ouyang Xiu, Shi Jie and others.

From the rumors among the people to the current discussions among officials about Su Liang.Finally, several tabloids from different black workshops were submitted to the imperial court.

Qian Mingyi kept adding on the side.

The two of them did a particularly good job and talked for more than half an hour.

Su Liangqiang braced himself and almost fell asleep.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at Zhao Zhen expectantly.

Zhao Zhen flipped through various types of tabloids and murmured: "The pictures in these tabloids are good, and the writing is also good. You should study more when you enter the Academy and make the writing more down-to-earth..."

Hearing these words, Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi were both in a daze.

This is not the point!

"In the official family, Su Liang slandered the government and formed cliques for personal gain, which had a very bad influence both in the court and among the people. I request that Su Liang be removed from the post of supervisory censor Li Xing, or be transferred to other places, or be allowed to After entering the pavilion, he is no longer qualified to be an admonishing official!" Wang Gongchen heavily handed over his hand.

"Wang Zhongcheng, Qian Zhengyan, our country has freedom of speech and has never been punished for words. What's more, Su Liang is also a Taiwanese admonishment officer. If he said something about the new policies of the court, is it considered slandering the government?"

These words immediately stopped Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi.

The current government's speech is open-minded.

The storyteller in Washeli, Bianjing City, had insulted Xia Song and Han Qi by name, but he was considered innocent.

Not to mention, a Taiwanese admonishment officer expressed his opinion.

This crime is not true at all.

Wang Gongchen immediately changed the subject.

"In the official family, Su Liang slandered the government because he wanted to form a secret party and help the officials he admired to become prime ministers. If the Taiwan admonishment officer behaves like this, he has lost his sense of fairness and should be severely punished!"

Forming a private party is a serious crime.

Zhao Zhen walked down slowly from above.

"Su Liang wants to form a secret party? With whom? Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu?"

"You know, just now, Su Liang exposed the flaws of the current New Deal from eight aspects and combined with actual examples of the New Deal. He believes that the New Deal is too fast and too drastic and should be stopped! This is an official who supports the reformists Can you speak out?"

Zhao Zhen's tone became sharp.

"I advocate gossip because I want to nip problems in the bud. But what about you? Ignoring the facts, you just used a few private tabloids to drag a young official who stayed up all night last night to study the mistakes of the New Deal. Get off your horse, and after you’ve had your fill and drink, can’t you do some serious business?”

It is very rare for Zhao Zhen to lose his temper like this.

Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi were both stunned. They never expected that Su Liang would criticize the New Deal.

The two of them didn't know how to defend themselves for a moment, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and hand over their hands.

Zhao Zhen walked up to the imperial court again and said in a cold voice: "You will naturally know in three days whether Su Liang has formed a secret party. If you have nothing else to do, please step aside!"

Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi had a bad encounter.

He had no choice but to retreat.

Su Liang raised his hands towards Zhao Zhen and said, "Thank you so much, officials!"

Zhao Zhen showed a smile.

"You deserve this, do your best, and if you have any questions, just come to me directly like today, don't worry too much!"

Su Liang nodded heavily and thanked him.

What Zhao Zhen valued most about Su Liang was Su Liang's sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

There is no hypocrisy, no subterfuge, words and deeds are consistent, and there is no hiding anything.

This made him feel very close to Su Liang.

Once upon a time, Zhao Zhen had such feelings for a young official, but now that man had been tortured by the war and the factional strife in the court, and he looked like a ruthless politician.

That person is Han Qi, the current Deputy Privy Envoy.

Zhao Zhen did not want Su Liang to lose his innocence after becoming an official for a few years.

In the Song Dynasty, such officials who were both sincere and capable of governing the country were really scarce.
