Zhao Yun's tone was calm. Although his voice was not strong, but with the majesty and blessing of the emperor, it was enough to make people nervous.
Xiaohuangmen knelt on the ground and said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of imperial students, Hanlin, and officials outside the palace. They knelt down to petition, saying that Meng Gong insulted the saint. Please kill Meng Gong to calm people's hearts."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown, and his eyes flashed with anger.
"If they want to kneel, let them kneel."
"Yes." Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to say more and went down carefully.
Then Zhao Yun turned over the book and said: "Gao Shi, pass on Zhang Chu."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi carefully agreed, then turned around and went out to pass the news.
Not long after, Zhang Chu came.
Zhang Chucheng knelt on the ground in fear and apologized: "Your Majesty, there have been rumors flying all over the sky recently. I have been trying my best to trace them, but the people who spread the rumors seem to be very scheming. Every time they find a key person, they go up and up to investigate.
I don't know when I ask three questions. I am so incompetent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Chu, and said calmly: "Imperial City Division has been developing for so long, and I can't even monitor it in real time. I'm very disappointed."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. My life is cheap. Your Majesty, please don't let your anger break your body."
Zhang Chu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to say a good word for himself.
Gao Shi on the other side wanted to plead for Zhang Chu, but when he thought about the sensitive identities of Zhang Chu and himself, one was inside and the other was outside, it was not appropriate to have too much contact to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with Zhao Yun, so he did not dare to speak.
.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Chu and finally said: "Zhang Chu, when you go back, put down all your official status and live as a civilian for two months. After two months, I believe you will have more insights."
"Yes, Your Majesty, before I return to being a common man, I will do my best to explain to the Imperial City Department, and I will never let you miss your Majesty's important events."
Zhang Chu knew that his work was not going well, so he willingly accepted Zhao Yun's punishment, and he knew that Zhao Yun still had expectations for him. Otherwise, why would he go to such trouble if he could be replaced with just one sentence?
After Zhang Chu left, Zhao Yun stood up leisurely, walked out of the study, went outside, and looked in the direction of the palace entrance, "Gao Shi, send someone to keep an eye on me. I want to see how long these people can hold on."
"yes."
After that, Zhao Yun ignored the matter and summoned Chen Guiyi to the main hall of Funing Hall to ask him about the implementation of the new law.
Chen Guiyi's face was solemn and he said: "Your Majesty, because the new law is too powerful, it has been strongly resisted by many powerful households. Because the new army is suppressing rebellion, in order to support the new army's suppression of rebels, I have temporarily delegated power and let the state governments monitor it.
The new law will be implemented gradually and given them more time."
Zhao Yun thought for a while, nodded and said: "You have a certain amount of relaxation. Your arrangement is very good."
With Zhao Yun's support, Chen Guiyi felt more at ease. Thinking of the scholars and officials outside the palace who were petitioning, Chen Guiyi worriedly said: "Your Majesty, the petition outside the palace is very strange. If their purpose is just to kill General Meng, then
You can express your feelings by submitting a memorial, and there is no need to bring the matter to such an extreme. I think they are using General Meng's incident to insinuate the new law, and please your Majesty to be more careful."
The new law has greatly touched the interests of powerful families, and these students and officials all have their own families, and their families have to hand over land, so they also have great opinions on the new law.
However, Chen Guiyi had the firm support of Zhao Yun, and impeachment was useless. They no longer dared to express opinions directly to Zhao Yun, so they turned against Meng Gong.
Meng Gong is the commander-in-chief of Zhao Yun's new army and a close general. Meng Gong's expedition this time is to escort the new law, so killing Meng Gong can play a role in attacking the new law.
It is no exaggeration to say that killing Meng Gong is like killing Chen Guiyi.
The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth turned upwards, showing a contemptuous smile, "The Qing family don't need to pay attention to them. These people have not learned much about the strategies of governing the country. They have learned the skills of crying, making trouble and hanging themselves well."
"Pfft."
After hearing this, Chen Guiyi couldn't help but laugh. Realizing that he was discourteous in front of you, Chen Guiyi quickly raised his hand and covered it with his sleeve.
Then Zhao Yun walked down the hall, came to Chen Guiyi, and said: "Qing family, from now on, you, Li Zongmian, and Chen Longzhi's room will be moved to the main hall of Funing Hall, where official affairs will be handled, and all memorials about the reform will be handled directly."
Send it here so that it is easier for you to handle it and easier for me to understand it."
"this,,,"
Chen Guiyi looked flattered and was greatly surprised by Zhao Yun's words. When he thought of the students and officials petitioning outside the palace, Chen Guiyi suddenly understood.
"The official is using practical actions to support himself. He wants to let everyone in the world know that the new law cannot be changed."
Moved in his heart, Chen Guiyi's eyes filled with tears, he raised his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Under Zhao Yun's instructions, Xiaohuangmen quickly moved three tables and a row of bookshelves and placed them on one side of the main hall of Funing Hall.
In this way, Chen Guiyi's office attendant would be in the same hall as Zhao Yun. He could see Zhao Yun anytime and anywhere, and his status in the court would naturally improve.
The news spread quickly, and all the officials were pointing fingers at it. They all thought that Chen Guiyi was working in Funing Hall, which was an act of violation of etiquette and should be punished with death.
Coupled with the chaos caused by powerful forces in various places, all officials were extremely worried about this. Under such circumstances, memorials to impeach Chen Guiyi were sent to the Political Affairs Hall like a snowflake.
Right Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian reviewed it briefly and then ordered it to be transferred to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun naturally ignored these memorials and dealt with them all as before, leaving them unpublished. This made all the officials hate Chen Guiyi with itch.
At the same time, outside the palace gate, there were more than two hundred imperial students, Hanlin officials, and officials. Their behavior of kneeling to petition attracted many students to follow suit. They also came to the palace gate one after another and knelt with them.
However, their great momentum and grand scene resulted in Zhao Yun's ignorance, which they could not accept.
What made it even more difficult for them to accept was that Zhao Yun issued an order that Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, and Chen Longzhi could work in Funing Hall to deal with the new law. This was clearly against them.
This doesn't give them any face at all. How can they endure it?
A student from Taizu said angrily: "It is unheard of for officials to ignore our voices in this way. Is our Song Dynasty still the Song Dynasty? Emperor Taizu established the ancestral system of civil education and governing the country. Don't we need to abide by it now?"
Everyone was extremely excited, "The officials favor the generals so much and ignore the will of the civil servants. Are they trying to repeat the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"
"If the officials ignore me, I will kneel down until I die."
"Yes, why should we, the disciples of saints, be afraid of life and death for the sake of the country and the country?"
