Chapter 259: Thirteen Guardians(2/2)

After coming to Shao's officialdom for many years, he didn't know what the Li family was playing, and said, "The Li family is helpless. Pei Yin followed Zhang Xianggong for seven years and slapped Pei Yin in the face. Force the Pei family in this way is forced Zhang Xianggong. Wait, the Imperial City Department will take action soon."

The right assistant minister nodded deeply and beat Pei Yin, which was not as simple as "beating the imperial court official". It was actually a slap in the face of the "fact prime minister" of the current dynasty.

With Zhang Dun's temper, if you dare to hit him, he will dare to draw his sword and chop you!

Lai Zhishao stood up and said, "I have left the matter in Beijing to you. I have been delayed for so long and have to leave Beijing. I can't delay any further. If you have any questions, write to me as soon as possible, and then go to find Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cai. The affairs of the Ministry of Justice should be strict and fast, and don't give anyone a handle. You know very well now that I may be imprisoned tomorrow, but you may not be able to take over my position..."

The right assistant minister felt a stern and immediately said in a deep voice: "The lower official knows."

Lai Zhishao nodded without saying much.

He should have left Beijing long ago, but things in Beijing were stumbled and could not be delayed anymore. He had to be as soon as possible.

Although things in the capital are complicated, their strategic plan to "stabilize the local area and collect the local area" cannot be delayed.

Governors from all walks of life took office one after another, and the imperial court needed support.

When Lai Zhishao was about to leave Beijing, news about the Pei family also came to the Political Affairs Hall.

Pei Yin was shocked when he heard this and struggled to get up from the bed and go back.

The servant came. Seeing Pei Yin's serious injury, he was bleeding after touching the wound, so he dared not hide it, so he said immediately.

Pei Yin's mouth twitched over and over again, and then he understood the whole story. He silently for a long time and waved his hand to let someone go back.

He did not hide it, and asked someone to carry it and report the matter to Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun was talking about this with Li Qingchen and Huang Lu. After hearing this, he picked up a teacup and drank a sip of tea, looked at Li Qingchen and Huang Lu and said, "See, this victim will not only be beaten and killed, but may also destroy the reputation of his relatives..."

Li Qingchen looked angry and said, "Mr. I think some people still don't know the importance of it, so they are playing such tricks at this time!"

Huang Lu said directly: "My husband, I'll order someone to take the Li family, it's too much!"

Logically speaking, if you hit someone, you honestly plead guilty and apologize, but you just go to the Pei family to do this, it is really disgusting!

Zhang Dun waved his hand and asked someone to carry Pei Yin back to recover from his injuries. Then he said to Li Qingchen and Huang Lu: "What I am talking about is this phenomenon. It is difficult for good people to do, but bad people dare to be bad people."

'It is difficult to do good people, but bad people dare to take responsibility', these eight words seem simple, but it is not a trivial matter when it comes to folk customs.

Good people are hard to do, they dare not do it, and bad people are arrogant and become more arrogant!

Huang Lu sat upright and said, "My husband, the 'punishment order' is very necessary. The subordinates believe that it must be thorough and thoroughly implemented, and must not be perfunctory and give up halfway. This matter of the Li family revealed a very important thing, that is, they not only rely on their background, but also use tricks. Ordinary good families are not opponents at all. If the old lady of the Pei family is not cruel enough, let alone Pei Yin is destroyed, all three generations of the Pei family will be destroyed!"

Li Qingchen looked thoughtful and said, "The law is the standard, and it also needs etiquette to cooperate."

Zhang Dun said, took out an edict and handed it to the two of them.

The two of them were stunned, took them and looked at them one after another, all of them were surprised.

Huang Lu said: "My husband, have you made a decision?"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "This is what the official sent just now. The official also handed over the words, etiquette and law are actually morality, and morality is far higher than the law. The law is the last line of defense for the living society. No one should be allowed to tempt wildly on the edge of the law, nor are they allowed to sing and dance!"

Li Qingchen leaned towards the direction of the Chugong Hall and said, "The official family is wise."

When Huang Lu saw this, he hurriedly said, "The official's eyes are like a torch, and it is beyond our reach."

Zhang Dun waited for a while and said, "The Ministry of Rites should implement a set of 'ethics and laws' in response to this 'punishment order'. Don't force any regulations on anything. Just make an advocacy and try to be more comprehensive and promulgated next year."

Li Qingchen was thinking about this 'general rule' in his mind, calculated the time, and bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhang Dun looked at the southern sky outside the door and said, "The affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture are basically stable. If the court fully promotes them, the pressure is not that great. If the governor of the 12th Routes takes office, there will inevitably be many things. They can't suppress them. I have to leave Beijing."

Huang Lu and Li Qingchen's face changed slightly. Zhang Dun's departure from the capital may cause a big chaos in the local area, and no one in the capital may lead to peace of mind.

Zhang Dun then took out a draft imperial edict and handed it to the two of them, saying, "Look carefully."

Li and Huang looked at each other, took them over and looked at them, and soon frowned.

Li Qingchen looked at it again and again, and after putting it down, he said, "Young Master, Shaowei Temple, is this the Weifu system that imitated the previous dynasty?"

The previous dynasty Li Qingchen mentioned refers to the Tang Dynasty. The "Guifu system" of the Tang Dynasty once promoted the Tang Dynasty to the extreme, and at the same time, it also laid the culprit for the separatist vassal states.

This is also one of the reasons why later generations tried their best to divide military power and constantly check and balance.

Zhang Dun took a sip of tea and said, "It's just a name. The Weifu system was not good in the late Tang Dynasty, let alone the Song Dynasty. I carefully discussed with the officials. The Thirteen Route Governors, except for Jingji Road, set up Thirteen Guards to integrate the soldiers of prefectures, prefectures and counties. Each guard is within 20,000 people, and is distributed in each prefecture, prefectures and counties to protect the daily safety of prefectures, prefectures and counties and eliminate bandits. The Thirteen Guards are daily military preparations, and are under the jurisdiction of the governor, prefect, and deputy commanders of the county government office, and correspond to the Thirteen Army."

In the plan of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, the 13th Army was established nationwide, with two cavalry and three major battalions, with a total force of 550,000.

Li Qingchen and Huang Lu thought deeply as they heard this.

Such a restructuring obviously has deep meaning, and they can understand it.

Zhang Dun wanted to break through local barriers and concentrate local power, but such reforms would cause a considerable rebound. Not to mention that no one was willing to give up power, just saying that such measures that evoke some bad memories would inevitably arouse a strong backlash.

At the same time, they also understood that this is the general framework of the army.

Thirteen Guards, Thirteen Army.

Daily military affairs belong to the Thirteen Guards and are responsible by the local government; the Thirteen Army stationed in the local government and set the country on a national scale; this is also an alternative check and balance.

Zhang Dun took back the draft edict and said, "There are too many things to do. Do it first and then say, you can just know. Huang Zhongcheng, your censorate is about to move."

The Censorate has not been idle, and the so-called "Beijing Chase" has been continuing.

Huang Lu bowed and said, "Please make an announcement."

Zhang Dun's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the inspector you sent out a little useful?"

Huang Lu's face suddenly became as deep as water and could not speak.

The inspectors sent by the Censorate can be said to be full of tricks, almost never calm, but they just did not do serious business, and were coaxed by the local area to be comfortable and completely traveling!

But there are also people who are in charge of the matter, and the impeachment memorial is reasonable and evidence-confirmed, which makes the Censorate very embarrassed.

Huang Lu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The lower official recalls all the inspectors and set up another thirteen inspectors. The lower official goes down in person. If it is still futile, the lower official brings up his head to see him!"

Zhang Dun glanced at him and turned to Li Qingchen and said, "Li Qingchen, please pay attention to the matter of building academy in a broad range. You must integrate all existing prefectures and county schools, and then expand them. Before the end of the year, I will complete all prefectures and county schools, and rectify the county schools next year!"

Li Qingchen immediately understood and said, "Yes, the lower officials will leave the capital in person, and start with the three capitals."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "We are short of people now. After we go down, we will find more people who are practical and do not stick to political views. As long as they are not stubbornly resisting the new laws and can do things, they will be employed vigorously."

Zhang Dun dispatched troops and generals, and almost all the six ministers left the capital. Cai Bian also went to various counties in Kaifeng Prefecture to inspect. In the huge court, only Zhang Dun was in charge.

The huge pressure was like a tide, spreading wave after wave, affecting all aspects of the Song Dynasty.
