I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 266 I, Su Liang, specialize in impeachment, two impeachments per day

April 22nd, early morning.

Su Liang woke up to the clear cry of his little daughter.

In the eyes of many officials, being suspended from duty was a very shameful thing, but Su Liang didn't care.

But the salary is a little less.

But it just has a bad reputation.

But the people who wanted to see his jokes felt a little prouder.

He doesn't care about this.

What he cares about is whether more people can realize that the Song Dynasty's imperial army is lazy, weak, and has no fighting spirit.

……

After being suspended, Su Liang was not idle either.

He decided to work twice a day until he was restored to his original position.

After breakfast, Su Liang sat in his study and started writing. The memorial was titled: "On the Elites of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty Who Depend on Their Height and Appearance for Their Eating".

In the afternoon, he wrote another article: "On the Business Experience of the Forbidden Army Soldiers".

After Su Liang finished writing it, he sent it to the Yintai Department.

The original version will be submitted to Zhongshu Province, and the copied version will be submitted to Zhongshu Province.

Being idle is also idle.

He is ready to dig out all the daily scandals of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army soldiers.

This will let more people know how bad the current Forbidden Army soldiers really are.

……

Three days later.

After Su Liang found fault with the officers of the three yamen, he pointed the finger at the Privy Council.

The first to bear the brunt were Xu Gechen, deputy capital of the Privy Council, and Liu Jin, editor of the Privy Council.

Su Liang checked carefully and found that these two people were very dishonest.

Xu Gechen had six shops and had hundreds of soldiers working for him for free no less than fifty times.

Another Liu Jin was even more bold. He directly hired Forbidden Army soldiers to plow the fields in his family's farmland.

How could Su Liang let the imperial soldiers go for personal use?

These two civil servants did not regard warriors as human beings at all.

This is also an unspoken rule of officialdom.

Many civil servants like to use the free labor force of the imperial army.

When Su Liang writes impeachment articles, he always pays attention to solid remonstrance and clearly lists the evidence.

Not long after Su Liang submitted the memorial to impeach the two men.

Dali Temple began to investigate the two.

If nothing else goes wrong, the two of them will most likely be demoted and released.

At the moment, Su Liang has no interest in reform and is focused on writing an impeachment memorial, especially against the Privy Council and the three Yamen.

For a time, many soldiers panicked.

Some even hope that Su Liang will be reinstated as soon as possible, otherwise his efficiency in writing memorials will be followed.

After a month, the officials of the Privy Council can lose 30%.

……

Another day, Chui Gong Hall.

Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang, deputy envoys to the privy council, and Liang Shi, the privy council scholar, appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.

"Officials, let's put aside the matter of Su Liang's desire to change the family law of his ancestors. The contents of the memorials he has submitted in the past few days are all true!" Fu Bi said with a cupped hand.

On the side, Zeng Gongliang added: "At present, it is a fact that the Fourth Army selects people based on their height and appearance; it is a fact that many soldiers buy shops and do business with their families; it is also a fact that soldiers are sent by their superiors to work as coolies; in addition, soldiers It is true that there was some slippage in our formation practice and chariot shooting skills..." Zhao Zhen was a little bit dumbfounded. The performance of the soldiers of Sanya lowered the lower limit of his imagination time and time again.

"Then what do you think should be done?"

Fu Bi heavily handed over his hands and spat out eight words: "Regulate civil officials and promote generals."

The reason why the soldiers of the three yamen were in trouble was due to the loose management of the civilian officials; and the reason why the soldiers in the three yamen were not able to make the final decision was because the generals who knew how to train were unable to make the decision.

After Fu Bi said this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhen with anxiety.

Zeng Gongliang and Liang Shi also suddenly became nervous.

This method of handling has been infinitely inclined to Su Liang's sentence: martial arts should be given equal emphasis as civil culture.

Zhao Zhen took a long breath and stood up slowly.

"What Su Jingming played was not wrong, but it violated the laws of our ancestors. At any time, it is impossible for our military generals in the Song Dynasty to be on par with civilian officials. However, the status of military generals today is too low. For the sake of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, The combat effectiveness can be mentioned appropriately. If anyone has side thoughts, they need to be struck in time!"

"In addition, during the period of rectifying civil servants and promoting military generals, we must constantly emphasize that the national policy of advocating civility and restraining military force will not change. Remember, you can implement this matter after discussing it with Prime Minister Xia."

Zhao Zhen knows the role and value of ancestral family law better than anyone else.

At present, he does not allow anyone to overthrow the ancestral family law. Even if the ancestral family law does not apply to the current situation, he will change the method to make the ancestral family law inviolable.

"I obey!" The three of them handed over their hands at the same time.

At this time, Liang Shi, the privy scholar, said: "Officials, now it seems that what Su Yushi said is true. He just violated a big taboo. I implore the officials to reinstate him to his post. The current reform is inseparable. Su Jingming!"

"Hmph! Just wait a little longer. I have read the articles he has written in recent days. His literary talent is soaring. He should be in a very good mood. If you tell him that I want to rectify civil servants and promote military generals, his tail will not be raised to the sky. Go, this time, I must beat him hard!"

All three of them laughed immediately.

What they saw in Zhao Zhen's tone was not Zhao Zhen's punishment for Su Liang, but his favor for Su Liang.

……

After a while.

Cao Hu quickly came to the main hall.

"Officials, the candidates for the five hundred heavy cavalry have been selected. Where should they train next?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Su Jingming has offended the soldiers of the Privy Council and Sanya with his letter. Who is willing to train the heavy cavalry he selected? I told Su Jingming that I will hand over these five hundred soldiers." He has been trained. You find a good military camp and I will pay for all the expenses. I will give him half a year. If he cannot train a group of elites by the end of the year, I will take him for granted!"

"General, I will obey your orders." Cao Hu heavily handed over his hands.

At dusk, Su Zhai.

Su Liang's pen was full of tricks and he was writing a chapter to impeach Xia Song.

He knew that it was impossible to impeach Xia Song, but there was really no one to write about, and there was a lot of black material about Xia Song, so he had no choice but to write about Xia Song.

At this moment, Cao Hu came to visit.

……

In the back hall of Su's house, Su Liang's eyes widened.

"What? The officials asked me to train those five hundred heavy cavalry?" Su Liang's head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, how can I train?"

Cao Hu smiled and said: "The officials said that these heavy cavalry were selected according to your standards. You have offended the soldiers of Sanya. It is estimated that no one will be willing to train them, so they can only come to you." Got it!"

Su Liang thought for a while and asked, "Who will pay for the training?"

"Of course it's the officials who come out."

"That's okay, we can do this." Su Liang nodded.

Su Liang was also determined to train a different group of elite soldiers, so that the emperor's guards could see what kind of soldiers could go to the battlefield and win on the battlefield.

……

In the study of the Cao family's mansion.

When Cao Cong, the head of the Cao family, learned that the officials wanted to rectify the civil servants and promote military generals, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Jing Ming is really capable of twists and turns. He insists on betting his career and constantly giving advice, so that the court has to improve the combat effectiveness and status of the soldiers. "

He looked at the large pile of handwritten Buddhist scriptures in front of him and murmured: "These can all be burned!"
