I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 47 Two strange flowers, the fake pillar-beating official and the real-blood admonishing official
Afternoon, Yushitai.

The weather is hot, and the crows in the locust trees are crows.

Su Liang and Zhou Yuan were holding a pile of documents. As soon as they passed the palace courtyard, they saw many officials gathered around the door.

Among them, the writer Lao Hong is also among them.

Lao Hong stood on tiptoes, poked his head, and kept looking inside.

"Lao Hong!" Su Liang shouted.

Lao Hong turned his face and saw that it was Su Liang and Zhou Yuan. He couldn't help but walked over quickly, with excitement on his face.

"What...what are you looking at?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Hong laughed before he said anything and whispered: "Liu Shi, the imperial censor in the palace, wrote a blood letter to admonish you. He wrote more than 100 words. He fainted due to excessive blood loss!"

"A blood letter admonishing you? Is it life-threatening?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"He has been rescued by medical officers. Now two medical officers are watching him to prevent him from biting his finger and continuing to write!"

After saying that, Lao Hong looked at Su Liang and Zhou Yuan.

"You two, one of the medical officers just said that if you want to write a blood letter, it is best not to exceed a hundred words. If you exceed a hundred words, you will easily faint. If you exceed three hundred words, your life will be in danger!"

Su Liang said with a smile: "This is common sense. Since ancient times, most people who wrote blood letters wrote a slogan or left a last message, only a few words at most. Who can make a long speech?"

"This person inside is probably going to have a long speech. He just heard too many stories about loyal ministers admonishing the king in Wazi!" Zhou Yuan on the side joked.

The imperial censor Liu Shi was always good at writing long articles.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

The blood-lettered admonishment written by Liu Shi, the censor in the palace, is no less funny than Qian Mingyi's "admonition against the pillars" written by You Zhengyan.

Soon, the matter spread in various yamen.

Some good people also gave Liu Shi a nickname: True Blood Remonstrator.

This nickname echoes Qian Mingyi's "fake pillar-beating official", and the two have become two strange flowers in Taiwan's admonishment.

……

at the same time.

"The Theory of Fighting to the Death among Military Generals" jointly signed by the real-blood admonishing officer and the fake pillar-beating officer completely aroused the emotions of the people.

A general will fight to the death.

On this point, the people still have this awareness.

But the sentence "If our soldiers of the Song Dynasty die in battle, they will die well. If they survive due to defeat, they are no better than dogs and pigs." It really does not treat the soldiers as human beings.

The superiority of the scholar-bureaucrats is displayed so vividly and disgustingly.

The most popular response from the people was: Why didn't you let your son die?

The mouths of the people are invisible monuments.

What officials in the Song Dynasty feared most was not the impeachment of Taiwanese admonishers, but the stabbing in the back by the common people.

For a time, public sentiment was fierce and resentment grew.

Although the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had a lower status, they could not tolerate being insulted like this.

Some military generals finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to complain one after another, expressing their humiliation.

In the vertical arch hall.

Emperor Zhao Zhen sits above.

Prime Minister Du Yan, Deputy Prime Ministers Chen Zhizhong and Wu Yu, as well as Privy Council Envoy Jia Changchao and Deputy Privy Council Envoys Ding Du and Pang Ji, are all sitting below.

"Officials, the language in "Generals' Theory of Fighting to the Death" is biased and has aroused public outrage. If this article spreads to the border, I am afraid it will cause unrest. I hope the officials will come to a conclusion on Shi Yuansun's matter as soon as possible to appease the people!" Wu Yu took the lead! He spoke.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Shi Yuansun was defeated and captured because he was a defeated general rather than a surrendered general. If he is beheaded, the punishment will be severe, but if he is not convicted, the punishment will be light. Let's do this, deprive him of all imperial titles, and all his descendants who have been rewarded will be Cancel the favor. Let Shi Yuansun go to Xuzhou and become a civil servant!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, none of the ministers raised any objections.

There is a lot of resentment among the people at the moment, and appeasing people's hearts is more important than how to deal with Shi Yuansun.

"Then what to do with Liu Shi and Qian Mingyi?" Du Yan asked.

Hearing these two people, Zhao Zhen felt pain in his chest.Zhao Zhen had already heard about Liu Shi's blood letter admonishing him for fainting.

Not only did he not feel a trace of the remonstrator's integrity and bravery, but he felt that Liu Shi's head had been kicked by a donkey.

"These two people have caused public resentment. They are extremely stupid. Send them to the Qingzhou military camp and train for half a year, so that they can experience the hard work of soldiers!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.

Zhao Zhen just finished speaking.

Ding Du, the deputy privy envoy, stood up.

"Officials, this is absolutely not allowed! This punishment is against the laws of our ancestors. Officials are advised not to be responsible for their words and deeds. The original intention of these two people is not self-interest, but their words are a bit extreme. They really shouldn't be punished like this! "

The ancestral method, four words, suddenly made Zhao Zhen lose his temper.

The so-called ancestral method.

In fact, it was a series of policies set by the emperors of the Song Dynasty when they were in power.

For example: restricting the power of the clan, relatives, and eunuchs; kings and scholar-bureaucrats co-ruling the world; not killing courtiers who speak and serve; preventing things, and controlling them.

Ding Du believed that Qian Mingyi and Liu Shi were only performing their duties as admonishers and had not made any serious mistakes, so they could not be demoted.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to say: "Then...the two of them will be fined one season's salary each, that's fine!"

Tindo nodded.

At this time, Jia Changchao stood up.

"If the officials do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress the fierce public opinion. The people will think that the article is what the officials meant."

"What do I mean? Am I that stupid? I would incite my own soldiers to die!"

Zhao Zhen became angry when he thought of this.

At this time, Du Yan slowly came out of the queue.

"The official family, I think, can find another person to write an article to refute "The Theory of Generals Fighting to the Death". As long as the writing is sharp, the words are well-founded, and the words are powerful, they will definitely be able to cover up the controversy brought by "The Theory of Generals Fighting to the Death". Violent!"

After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

This is indeed a good way.

Most of the people follow the wind, but as long as they speak clearly, the trend will definitely change.

"I recommend Ouyang Xiu, a Hanlin scholar!" Wu Yu was the first to speak.

His voice just fell.

Chen Zhizhong, Jia Changchao, Ding Du, and Pang Ji all stood up, obviously wanting to object.

Chen Zhizhong said: "No, Uncle Ouyang Yong was greatly affected by the nephew's case and his reputation has been damaged. He is not suitable to write such an article!"

"My minister agrees!"

Jia Changchao, Ding Du and Pang Ji handed over their hands at the same time.

"I recommend Bao Zheng to the Admonition Academy!" Wu Yuyou said.

Jia Changchao thought for a moment and said, "I recommend the Prime Minister Gongchen to be the imperial censor."

This is a good job, and if done well, it will be of great benefit to one's official career.

Zhao Zhen shook his head with slight disgust.

"Wang Gongchen's writing is sharp, but his momentum is a bit lacking, and he doesn't understand the people well enough."

"As for Bao Xiren, he has great momentum and understands the people, but...but I'm afraid that if he writes it, not only will he not be able to solve the problem, but it will activate the contradiction and cause a bigger accident!"

If Bao Zheng writes, he will definitely scold Liu Shi and Qian Mingyi to the point where they will be embarrassed in court for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, a person appeared in Zhao Zhen's mind.

"How is Su Liang?" He looked at the ministers in the hall.

Du Yan couldn't help but said excitedly: "I think it can be done!"

"I second the proposal!" Ding Du, Wu Yu and Pang Ji said at the same time.

Chen Zhizhong and Jia Changchao thought about it for a while. Although they were a little reluctant, they couldn't think of a better candidate at all. They immediately handed over their hands and said: "I second the proposal!"
