After Wang Xie was killed, Yang Yizhong was under tremendous political pressure.

Wang Xie was not a military attaché. Wang Xie's prefect of Yan'an Prefecture was a standard civil servant and a local official.

In the Song Dynasty, if you killed a military officer, the civil servants in the court would not say anything, but it would not work if you killed a civil servant without the emperor's clear will.

But here, Yang Yizhong is the biggest, and he still holds the imperial edict and gold medal from Zhao Guan's family.

After the Yan'an Mansion has been rotated, it is basically impossible for anyone who wants to resist.

Wang Xie's head was hung on the tower of Yan'an Mansion, and his charges were made public.

For a time, the entire army in Fushi County was shaken.

"Zhang Shuai, would you like to visit the capital with us?"

"That's natural. I am upright and not afraid of slanting shadows. I have long been aware of Wang Xie's corruption, and the memorial to impeach him has been submitted to the capital."

Zhang Shen was scared, really scared.

This Yang Yizhong doesn't follow common sense and even dares to kill the prefect. Are you really not afraid that he, the military governor who just sat on the throne, will be kicked off in the blink of an eye?

On December 26, the Shaanxi General Administration Department was established, and Zhang Jun summoned all officials and staff to discuss matters.

Lu Zhi said: "The people who followed Li Renli all the way are back. Li Renli returned to Xixia from Huizhou. Along the way, he gave gifts to officials in various states and received them. There is no way to know."

Liu Ziyu, the commander of Jingzhao Mansion, said: "These officials are becoming more and more wanton and dare to meet envoys from other countries privately!"

Everyone around him was silent.

The current situation seems to be stable as usual, but after this round of changes, there is an undercurrent surging below.

Those officials were not fools. The long-abolished garrison law was suddenly implemented, and some people had more or less sensed something was wrong.

Lu Zhi lamented: "They dared to risk impeachment to meet the Xixia envoy in private. I'm afraid there is another reason."

"Oh, what do you think, Counselor Lu?"

"Maybe I have something in my hand, and I am worried about the investigation and punishment this time, so I..."

When he said this, he stopped talking. Everyone here understands.

There were signs of war in Xixia, and Shaanxi was conducting an internal investigation. At this time, some officials suddenly became enthusiastic about the Xixia envoys.

No one is a fool.

It is not uncommon for local officials to defect to the enemy in Hebei and Hedong in recent years.

While everyone was discussing matters, a voice came from outside: "Report! An urgent letter came from Yan'an Mansion!"

"Come in!"

The person who came in presented the letter to Zhang Jun. After reading it, Zhang Jun couldn't help but said: "Wang Xie, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, was beheaded on suspicion of embezzlement of pension funds, and Zhang Shen, the manager, was dismissed and detained in Beijing for trial!"

As soon as he said these words, the room fell into a dead silence.

Lu Zhi even forgot that the tea had been boiled.

This letter was naturally written by Yang Yizhong.

"Ms. Zhang, who dares to kill Wang Xie?"

"It's Yang Yizhong here."

The military governor came to Shaanxi in person?

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This is enough to show the resolute attitude of the imperial court this time!

Lu Zhi said with concern: "The military situation on the Xixia border is currently unclear, the internal rotation has ended, and the officials are disloyal. Mr. Zhang, we..."

"Since His Majesty has taken action, we must also start taking action!" Zhang Jun's tone suddenly became firm, "We are deeply favored by you, and in this critical moment, you must be determined to die!"

Everyone stood up and bowed: "I will not hesitate to smash our bodies to pieces!"

Next, Zhang Jun did the following things:

1. Appoint Liu Qi, the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of Fuyan Road, as the economic envoy of Fuyan Road, in charge of the military and political affairs of Fuyan Road, and order him to quickly investigate the pension issue of Fuyan Road.

Second, quickly arrest local officials who have contact with Xixia envoys.

Third, send emergency troops to various military towns on the border to strictly guard against Xixia.

Fourth, order Fan Zhixu, the envoy of Yongxing Military Route Manager, to thoroughly investigate the pensions for those who died in the Battle of Chang'an.

Fifth, order Qin Feng Road Manager Zhao Dian to investigate the pension case.

After the Shaanxi General Production and Construction Department issued a series of orders, the Jingzhao Mansion began to prepare its troops vigorously.

There are six roads in Shaanxi, from east to west, namely Fuyan Road, Huanqing Road, Jingyuan Road, and Xihe Road.

There are two roads to the south of these four roads, namely Yongxing Jun Road and Qinfeng Road.

The economic envoy was replaced at Yanyan Road, and Liu Qi's troops were appointed again.

The next rigorous inspection will be Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road in the south. This arrangement undoubtedly minimizes the impact of the inspection on the border.

Of course, according to the usual characteristics of bureaucracy, orders come down from the top, and every time you go down a level, you will be a little more relaxed.

Inventory is a process and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Now that the rotation has been completed, the biggest threat in this process is not internal. Internal managers can truthfully obstruct the investigation and can be removed from their posts at any time and sent to Beijing for trial.

The biggest difficulty is the arrangement of new internal personnel.

You can't just kill people without finding someone to replace them, right?

And you can't just find someone to replace you, after all, it involves new governance.

If we only destroy and do not pay attention to reconstruction, we might as well maintain the original pattern.

Just because of the new personnel arrangement, Fan Zhixu, the military commander of Yongxing Army, had a big quarrel with Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun advocated a thorough investigation, while Fan Zhixu advocated that there should be room for relaxation. Many generals have dirty hands, but these people are locals in Shaanxi and are familiar with military defense. After you knock them down, they come up.

What should a newlywed do if his eyes darken?

On December 28, Yang Yizhong arrived at Jingzhao Mansion and fully assisted Zhang Jun in starting to rectify Shaanxi.

In the evening, Fan Zhixu sent an impeachment memorial to the capital.

According to Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong's investigation, under the eyes of foreign enemies, all six Shaanxi routes will be destroyed!

Later, Zhao Ding recalled the thorough investigation in Shaanxi and concluded: What Fan Zhixu said was not unreasonable.

Even Zhao Ning admitted that Fan Zhixu's point of view was right.

Since Zhao Ning believed that Fan Zhixu's point of view was correct, why did he send Yang Yizhong to conduct a thorough investigation?

This involves the issue of institutional gaming in politics.

The administrative system and military system established by Zhao Kuangyin have one obvious feature: full flexibility.

The so-called flexibility, to put it simply, means checks and balances among all parties, and no one person has the final say.

In the local area, there is the General Department of Economic Affairs and Strategy, which leads the military and administration, and there is also the temporary boss of the General System Envoy, as well as the Transportation Department, the Criminal and Prison Department, and the Changping Department, which check and balance the judiciary and civil affairs.

There are six cao in the prefecture and county yamen, and there are also local security inspections, native troops, archers and other forces.

Just think about it, after Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong issued a set of inventory orders, they had to be implemented by layers of bureaucrats. How much real inventory would be absorbed in this process?

This is the flexibility of the system.

And the biggest flexibility we encounter now is Fan Zhixu.

Fan Zhixu was the military envoy of Yongxing Military Road. Yongxing Military Road was located in the hinterland of Shaanxi, and the government was in Jingzhao Prefecture, that is, with Chang'an as the center.

Without Zhang Jun as the general envoy, Fan Zhixu would have the highest status among the six Shaanxi Route envoys.

Historically, it was he, Fan Zhixu, who led the 200,000 troops to serve the king during the Jingkang period, not Zhang Shen, the military envoy of the Yanyan Road.

This further illustrates the flexibility of the military and political system of the Song Dynasty.

It was precisely under this flexible system that Zhao Ning dared to attack Shaanxi like a thunderous king.

On December 29th, it snowed heavily, and a large-scale inventory was launched in Shaanxi.

Ren Dejing, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture on Jingyuan Road, fled overnight and sneaked into Huizhou. By throwing money along the way, he crossed Huizhou and entered the territory of Xixia.

On December 30th of April in Jingkang, on the night of New Year's Eve, Ren Dejing arrived at Xingqing Mansion and told the Xia Lord Li Qianshun the truth about the current Jingyuan Road.
