I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 264 I, Su Liang, impeach all the chief officials of the Privy Council and the Three Yamen

Half an hour later.

Su Liang left Cao Mansion.

The phrase "You can protect yourself if you defile yourself, but it's hard to end well if you strive hard" has been lingering in his mind.

It is really difficult to improve the status of a martial artist.

Not to mention that the scholar-bureaucrats and officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree, and the officials would definitely not agree.

Officials are indeed kind.

But when it comes to major matters involving the Zhao and Song Dynasties, he knows the value of his ancestors' laws better than anyone else.

Zhao Zhen was deeply influenced by the late Empress Dowager Liu E, and most of the ways of becoming a king came from Liu E's oral teachings.

He knows better than anyone how to stabilize Zhao and Song.

Military generals should never be promoted too high. This is the truth that the current monarchs and ministers believe in to stabilize the Song Dynasty.

Because they knew that the Anshi Rebellion and the Chenqiao Incident were all caused by the excessive strength of the military.

Only Su Liang knew.

If the military personnel are too weak, it will lead to the "Jingkang Shame" that is more destructive than the Anshi Rebellion.

That was the fate of the Song Dynasty, a shame that was unprecedented and unprecedented.

……

The next day.

Su Liang went to Chui Gong Hall.

He asked Zhao Zhen to recruit suitable candidates for heavy cavalry from among the people.

Su Liang's reason was that the Central Forbidden Army was older, he wanted to train heavy cavalry that could fight for ten years, and younger recruits had better learning abilities.

Zhao Zhen thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Su Liang did not report to Zhao Zhen that "the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were becoming increasingly corrupt and had no fighting spirit".

He hasn't figured out how to speak in order to attract the attention of the court.

And the current imperial army is not completely devoid of combat effectiveness.

Zhao Zhen often inspects the armies at the end of the year, which can still be seen in the ranks.

Just no fighting spirit.

On the battlefield, fighting spirit is more important than combat effectiveness.

Because in the face of life and death, if you lose your fighting spirit and cannot show your fighting power at all, even if you don't lose your life, you can only become a deserter or a prisoner.

……

April th.

Su Liang openly recruited heavy cavalry candidates through notices and newspapers from the Imperial City Department and Kaifeng Mansion.

The requirements are: over 16 years old, under 22 years old, non-military, strong body, strong in martial arts, bold and careful, no bad habits, priority will be given to those who are good at riding and shooting, and can read...

Everyone knows that these are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are treated well.

For a time, people signed up like clouds.

Su Liang had to let Cao Hu lead the selection first, and pick out those who were completely unqualified first.

While this was in full swing.

Su Liang was impeached by Xu Gechen, deputy chief of the Privy Council, and Liu Jin, editor of the Privy Council.

Their grounds for impeachment are—

Su Liang, who served as the imperial censor and also knew the miscellaneous affairs, was ordered by the emperor to select candidates for the 500 heavy cavalry. However, he abused his royal power. After selecting in various military camps, he abandoned more than 100,000 good soldiers and chose people from among the people. This is really absurd and is just for fame and reputation. Act of.

This move not only insulted all the Forbidden Soldiers stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, but also insulted the Privy Council. It also failed to live up to the expectations of the officials. It was really disrespectful to treat the sacred mandate as child's play.

They hope to severely punish Su Liang and make him stop recruiting among the people quickly.

The impeachment memorials of these two men are well-founded.

For a time, many ministers agreed.

"This matter must be Su Liang's fault. All the good soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty are in Kaifeng Mansion. Su Liang abandoned his good soldiers to look for the common people. He is actually putting the cart before the horse and paying his salary, just to show off his abilities!"

"I have long seen through this person. He just got the official favor by mistake, so he shows off his little tricks time and time again. How shameless!"

"Haha, we finally caught his fault. Let's see how he defends this time. We are speaking for the more than 100,000 Forbidden Army soldiers. This time we will definitely let the officials punish Su Liang severely!"

"I didn't expect that Su Jingming would be like this. The soldiers of Sanya were too embarrassed to speak out. Cao Cong even asked for sick leave at home, but the officials of the Privy Council will not give up this opportunity!"

... A group of ministers studied and discussed for a long time. After confirming that the matter was definitely Su Liang's fault, they wrote memorials to impeach Su Liang.

Soon, people began to discuss this matter.

Some people say that Su Liangnai wanted to place his own people around the officials.

Some people say that Su Liangnai told Xia Song that the soldiers under his command were not as useful as ordinary people in order to make Xia Song angry.

Some people say that Su Liangnai was trying to pave the way for the future and wanted to learn from Wen Yanbo and rely on his military exploits to become prime minister.

Others claimed that Su Liang secretly raised a sweetheart (concubine) in order to make his concubine's brother a personal soldier of the emperor.

……

When three people become a tiger, the rumors are terrible and there are all kinds of rumors.

This is Su Liang's popularity.

It also reflects from the side how many people were jealous of him because of the political reforms in the Song Dynasty.

Countless people want to grab his pigtails, climb up on his shoulders, and use his fame to enhance their own.

……

Soon, the princes of the two governments and three departments also participated.

Most of them also thought that Su Liang's move was inappropriate.

Even though Su Liang asked for only young soldiers, there were many young men in their twenties among the Forbidden Army.

Su Liang was looking for it among the people.

What else could it be if it wasn't to show off one's abilities?

This is a move to gain fame and reputation.

It is something that the scholar-bureaucrats and officials all want to do themselves but are extremely resistant to others doing.

Suddenly, memorials floated in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen thought about it carefully and felt that Su Liang's approach was indeed inappropriate and would make many Forbidden Army soldiers angry.

Immediately, Zhao Zhen ordered Su Liang to suspend recruiting troops.

He had planned to leave the selection of heavy cavalry to others.

This move was naturally to protect Su Liang.

Once Su Liang was scolded to the point of being scolded, it would be very difficult for the entire Song Dynasty to carry out the reform in the future.

And this time.

Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that Su Liang was not easy.

Since the reform, Su Liang has not only been the person who made the most suggestions, but also the person who has been scolded and impeached the most.

……

At this moment, inside the Yushitai.

Tang Jie, Ouyang Xiu, Lu Jie, Zhou Yuan and other Taiwanese admonishers gathered around Su Liang's table.

They believed that Su Liang was not a reckless person, let alone one who wanted to gain fame.

There must be a reason for doing so.

Everyone was waiting for Su Liang to explain.

Su Liang thought for a while, looked at everyone seriously, and asked: "Everyone, do you think some unresolved matters will be easy to solve if they become a big problem?"

As soon as these words came out.

Tang Jie and others all trembled, feeling that Su Liang might be doing something big.

Su Liang looked at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie thought for a while and said: "It may be easy to solve, but it may also become a mess that cannot be ended."

Su Liang looked at Ouyang Xiu again.

Ouyang Xiu gently stroked his beard and said, "If you know the result, you have to give it a try."

"I understand!" Su Liang took a long breath, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "I haven't written an impeachment memorial for a long time. Let's impeach all the chief officials of the Privy Council and the Three Yamen today!"

Immediately, Su Liang took up his pen and splashed ink.

A title was written on the imperial treasure seal paper: "On the Dismissal between the Privy Council and the Three Yamen".

　Everyone, it’s been a long time since I saw Su Liang write the impeachment chapter. It’s coming soon. There will be a big drama tomorrow.
