Chapter 303 Impeachment Ruyun

The handover process was very cumbersome, and Zhao Qian did not pay attention to the whole process. Most of the affairs were taken care of by the staff teams such as Yang Qing, Mei Yaochen, and Qian Yanyuan.

It took a day and a half to complete the handover. It took such a long time to make the people in the officialdom of Fengxiang Mansion amazed and secretly admired the abilities of Zhao Qin's staff.

But in fact, this is just superficial skill. After all, there is a thousand stones of grain on the book. Who knows if there is really one thousand stone in the warehouse? Even if there is really one thousand stone, if there is mud and sand mixed in the grain, or if the low-quality aged grain is used instead of new grains, Zhao Jin will be fooled.

Therefore, after the handover was completed, Zhao Qin immediately appointed Zhou Xuan as an official in the prison and inspector. The inspector was originally an official position in the Tang Dynasty, and his power was similar to that of the Song Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the court often dispatched internal and external officials of the fifth rank or above to serve as officials, responsible for inspecting officials and providing relief to the victims, and was called the inspector.

The inspections established by Zhao Qin naturally did not have such great power. The purpose of the establishment was to inspect the real money and grain storage situation in various places and report warehouse corruption.

Mei Yaochen served as the clerk of the Fujiyi department and the inspector. Each of them had two deputy inspectors, four surveyors and more than a dozen clerks who were proficient in arithmetic.

As soon as these two orders were issued, Qin Fenglu was shocked immediately.

Yin Zhu couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly came to ask for a meeting and persuaded him in a vague way: "The officials heard that the war is coming, and they need to seek stability. The surprise soldiers can win a great victory, but they can also be defeated. It is not done by a great country! The actions of gamblers are not desirable!"

Zhao Qian retorted: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. Now the enemy doesn't know. You don't know. How to win? Even if you seek stability, you should not be too far!"

Although Yin Zhu retreated, he was not convinced and sneered in his heart. You, Zhao Jin, really don’t know how much the interests here are involved, and you dare to intervene. Well, the official who should be talking about it has also said that you can sell those people as a favor. If something happens to Zhao Jin in the future, no one can blame him.

However, Yin Zhu had some conscience and did not help the evil at this time. When the staff proposed to join forces with the borers to deal with Zhao Jin, Yin Zhu flatly refused and ordered familiar officials not to interfere in this matter, but they did not need to help. They would do whatever they should do and follow the procedures.

What is unexpected is that Zhao Qian showed an extremely tough attitude in this matter.

The magistrate of Wushan County, Longzhou was found to collude with grain merchants and privately sell grain to Jingzhao Prefecture. That's not all. Chencang's military camp was found, and the local government troops sold 700 to 80% of the new armies at the price of scrap iron in the name of loss, and smuggling vendors were circulated to Tubo and Xixia and other places, among which Xixia occupied a large part.

Zhao Qin was furious about it. Without reporting to the court, he ordered the leaders to behead him and his mansion was sealed. The county magistrate was better, and the official army in Chencang Junzhai encouraged the soldiers to resist the order. Zhao Qin directly led the Beiwei Army. Although there were only 500 people, he directly rushed to the battlefield and killed hundreds of Song soldiers with a powerful attitude.

The soldiers of Chencang's military camp did not dare to move at first and allowed the generals of Beiwei Army to behead them on the spot.

In order to establish his majesty, the remaining 800 soldiers in Chencang's military camp were all charged with the First-Ceng Army, and together with 200 death row prisoners, they formed a new First-Ceng Camp.

After Zhao Chen's series of thunderous methods, all the officials and generals of Qin Feng Road knew that they were powerful, and they immediately became disgusted.

Of course, there are not no negative ones. Shaanxi Transport Envoy was the first to impeach Zhao Qian, ignoring national laws, stolen soldiers and killing officials, and making ill-intentioned plans. If nine items are really implemented, the crime of beheading will be charged.

Han Qi, the deputy envoy in charge of Jingyuan Road, did not leave, and also submitted a letter to impeach Zhao Qin: arrogance, domineering, and other crimes.

However, Fan Zhongyan, who was in Yanzhou, was a little more kind of kind. Although he also submitted a memorial to impeach Zhao Jin, the memorial was somewhat relieved. He believed that what Zhao Jin did was right, and the problem was that "the rebel who was fighting against Lun Wu was urgent." He believed that Zhao Jin should "comply with the laws of the Song Dynasty and report to the court before punishing it! Otherwise, where would the national laws be preserved?"

Yin Zhu couldn't have imagined that Zhao Jin's methods would be so fierce and tough. What kind of methods would they do? The warriors in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had a disagreement, which was just like this! In the memorial, he used historical books to describe the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This Qin Feng Road was in line with the world of the Five Dynasties. "Rituals and music collapsed, the three pillars and five constants were eliminated, and the system articles of the previous kings were swept away and it was all gone!"

Song Renzong immediately felt like he was hunched up a mountain on his back, and he blamed Zhao Jin in his heart, why did he do such a thing at this time? This time, Song Renzong was not prepared to protect Zhao Jin, and asked Lu Yijian directly: "How should Lu Aiqing thinks that King Wei should deal with the matter of killing officials and generals without any help?"

Lu Yijian hesitated slightly and resolutely threw out the trap left by Zhao Jin before. "The official family is of great importance and needs to be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, other military generals will learn from King Wei, so what kind of constitution will the Song Dynasty return the national law become? Isn't the world going to be chaotic? Logically speaking, it should be killed!"

Upon hearing this, Song Renzong immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Is this crime too much?"

On the one hand, Song Renzong had feelings for Zhao Jin, and on the other hand, Song Renzong was a person who loved face, so how could he be willing to bear the reputation of killing his brother? What's more, Zhao Jin had not been beheaded yet.

When the Eight Great King Zhao Yuanyan was still the prince, he learned that Emperor Taizong of Song made Emperor Zhenzong of Song angrily set fire to the ban. This was just a punishment for "taking Wu Xinjie, being demoted to the King of Duan, and leaving the former son-in-law Shi Baojidi"! Later, Zhao Yuanyan "will lead him to his heart every time when he saw the emperor, and the emperor pleaded with him. He was grateful to him and asked him to be the governor of Zhenhai, Anhua Army, and was granted the title and position of Prince Peng, and promoted to Taibao." In other words, every time he saw Emperor Taizong of Song, he expressed his regret and soon restored his titles and official positions.

I think people who are so cruel to Song Taizong are so tolerant of their son, let alone Song Renzong, a flower that grows in a greenhouse.

Lu Yijian also knew that although Song Renzong was a little hesitant in answering, in fact, it was not enough to kill Zhao Qian by relying on this crime alone. Even if Zhao Qian rebelled, he might not be able to kill him. The biggest reason was that the official family had no son, that is, Zhao Qian was one of the only two bloodlines in the Song Zhenzong's line, and Song Renzong had to avoid being cut off his bloodline.

However, Lu Yijian claimed that his goal had been achieved. It was fake for him to ask Song Renzong to kill Zhao Jin, and it was real that he would pay back the money at a price all over the world. "The official family and the old ministers also understood the difficulties. It was just that the death penalty could be avoided, but the living penalty could not be escaped! Otherwise, how could the national law exist? Otherwise, there might be signs of collapse of rituals and music in the Five Dynasties!"

"This is natural. Who can I imitate the punishment for the former King Jing burning and ban?" Song Renzong thought for a while and suggested.

"No!" Lu Yijian immediately opposed it. "In the past, King Jing burned the ban, which caused a sensation, but it was a royal family matter. But now the literati and military generals killed by King Wei, this is no longer a royal family matter. If it is not handled seriously, it is probably a resentful thing for Shaanxi's civil and military officials. And they are about to launch an attack on Xixia. At this time, there should not be a woman's kindness!"

"This..." Song Renzong looked puzzled, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yijian took the opportunity to say, "Of course, the old minister also understands the brotherhood of the official family. As the old minister only saw, it would be better to depose the position of King Wei as the governor of Jingnan, and demote King Wei to the two-character king, and then leave Jiangning Prefecture on Jiangnan East Road, so as to avoid the limelight first. If King Wei wants to repent, it would not be too late for the official family to add the title in the future?"

Song Renzong thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is a good thing, but when you go to Jiangning Mansion, isn't it too far?"

Lu Yijian said sincerely: "The old ministers do this for the sake of King Wei. With King Wei's temperament, if he is in Bianliang City, he will not make a big fuss? Will the official punish King Wei a little more? Or should he turn a blind eye and fool things over? No matter what he does, it is probably also affecting the reputation of the official! Instead of doing this, it is better to send King Wei to Jiangning Mansion, far away, even if King Wei makes trouble, the official will cover up the matter. Moreover, Jiangning Mansion is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, with small bridges and flowing water, which is suitable for regulating King Wei's sentiment!"

When Song Renzong thought about it, he felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Lu Aiqing will submit a note according to the procedures. I will ask Ye Qingchen to draft an edict again!"

"Yes! The old minister asked for his retreat!" Lu Yijian was filled with joy, and he asked for his retreat immediately, preparing to go back and write a note and hand it over tomorrow. He was also afraid that there would be more accidents in this matter.

But Lu Yijian made a lot of calculations, but in the end he made a mistake.

Let’s talk about the fact that after Emperor Renzong of Song said goodbye to Lu Yijian, he returned to Yanfu Palace. He happened to see the deputy governor Wang Shouzhong cleaning the fallen leaves with a broom.

Song Renzong smiled and said, "Shouzhong! Why do you have to work so hard to clean? Isn't it just for the people below?"

Wang Shouzhong smiled humbly and said, "This is what I should do. How dare I deal with others with it? If it affects the mood of the official family, I will be a serious crime!"

Song Renzong shook his head and said, "You, you! You will be foolish. Don't sweep it, let's go with me!"

Wang Shouzhong nodded and said, "Yes! I put down my broom, and that's it!"

While speaking, Wang Shouzhong put the broom aside, but when he turned around and left, he turned around and put the broom on the other side, and repeated it.

Song Renzong couldn't help but say, "Just put it aside, why should you put it around like this?"

Wang Shouzhong said: "The official family, I put the servants behind the door yesterday, and the corner of the corridor yesterday, but I found it for a long time today. Now it is autumn again, and there are many fallen leaves. I thought it should be fixed in one place, otherwise the time to find a broom would be enough to clean the fallen leaves in the yard."

The relaxed expression on Song Renzong's face immediately condensed and he said, "Shouzhong, do you seem to have something in your words?" (To be continued...)
