Guo Zongyi felt that it was a pity that Bian Guitan did not have the character of Kou Zhun to dare to pull the emperor's sleeves.
Of course, he didn't either.
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers began to whisper and discuss, and even the censor couldn't help laughing.
Guo Zongyi lowered his hands that were holding the elephant wat high, feeling that his interest was not over yet, but he was also a little relieved to have reined in his horse from the brink.
This matter was initiated by himself, but it was beyond his control. He did not expect that Bian Guichen would be able to find witnesses and insist on insisting on Wang Jun. He also did not expect that Wang Jun was a higher level and was sure that Guo Wei would not summon him.
Yao Yuanfu went to court to confront him and refused to admit that he had written the letter. The two were in a stalemate and even risked their lives, forcing Guo Wei to suspend the court and temporarily retreat.
We can no longer get involved in this matter.
He took a deep look at Wang Jun, who was kneeling down, and turned around. Finally, his eyes rested on Yang Kerang. Yang Kerang seemed to be aware of it. Looking back, he saw a young and undecorated purple-robed official. He had guessed it.
His identity was revealed to Guo Zongyi from afar.
Guo Zongyi nodded, turned around and left Chongyuan Hall.
When one of the imperial censors saw someone about to leave, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he separated from the crowd, he saw the emperor's eldest grandson with a gloomy face. He hesitated for a short moment and then returned to work dejectedly.
On the right side of Chongyuan Hall is a small imperial study. Guo Wei came back here panting like an ox, swung back and downed a large pot of cold tea on the table, and then the Yunhuo gradually subsided.
After calming down and making a decision, he shouted out the door: "Li Mei!"
"Here you are." Li Mei opened the door and waited on the side.
"Immediately order Li Chongjin, the commander of the Xiaodi First Army, to lead his headquarters to inspect the imperial city, and order Zhang Yongde, the commander of the inner palace, to lead his headquarters to guard and confine the city."
"Order Zheng Renjie, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, to withdraw the remaining imperial troops from the camp in the south of the city to the newly built barracks on the right side of the inner city."
"When I issued the imperial edict to the Political Affairs Hall, Yang Kerang was a disciple who returned to the border. It is difficult to convince the public as a witness. Yao Yuanfu's arrival in Beijing was approved by me personally. Let this matter end."
"Re-issued the imperial edict to Zhongshu's sect, and returned to Bian to strengthen the country. Jianjian is commendable. He was promoted to Minister Youcheng, Privy Councilor and Bachelor, and he still served as Minister of Household Affairs."
"Yang Kerang is loyal to the country and forgets his family. He can transfer to a higher rank and decide to stay on his own initiative."
"He sent Sun Yi, the emperor's chief, as an envoy. He gave Yao Yuan Fu a jade belt and a saddle. He immediately left camp and went to Yan, Cao, and Shi. He was not allowed to show military salutes to the three of them, and he acted like his father."
"Wei Xun neglected his duties, violated the rules and regulations, and caused the outsiders to mix with the forbidden ones. He was in danger of causing chaos. He was demoted to the distant military state and was sent away by the Secretary."
"Wang Jun..."
Guo Wei exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a harsh voice: "Wang Jun is the privy envoy and is in charge of military aircraft. He cannot escape his responsibilities. Dai Baoren will be fined one year as punishment for the crime of being re-elected."
After saying that, Guo Wei seemed extremely tired, and regardless of whether Li Mei remembered it or not, he left the side hall and walked to the Forbidden Garden alone.
On the way, Guo Wei took out a note from his sleeve, which read "Shan Shu Shi Yu Town Delivery Form".
Just seven words, when they were delivered to his desk last night, made him endlessly troubled, but today, when he returned home, he impeached Wang Jun in court for colluding with the vassal town.
Yang Ke was also shown as a witness. Fortunately, he was a disciple of Bian Guichen, so he should avoid suspicion according to the punishment, otherwise it would be difficult to get down to this level today.
But everyone knew that what Yang Kerang said was true. After sitting on the dragon chair and listening to it, he felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. He was almost about to send Wang Jun to jail, but luckily he endured it.
The three things put together, the assassination report, the report, and the witness, seemed so strange and elusive. Before the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, we could not act arbitrarily. Let Wang Jun be left on the stage to protect him from the wind and rain.
Guo Zongyi arrived at the house, and Li Fang followed closely and brought His Majesty's instructions.
After hearing this, Guo Zongyi didn't feel too surprised. This was a very wise and prudent way to deal with it.
But he didn't understand why he was sent as an envoy to reward Yao Yuanfu on behalf of His Majesty.
You have to follow the instructions even if you don't understand. Guo Zongyi is not willing to waste his brain energy on such things anymore. There are too many puzzling things in Chang Dynasty today.
Anyway, Guo Wei has settled the case, and there will be no further troubles for the time being. His original intention has been achieved. Wei Xun was demoted, the army was banned and the camp was transferred. No one will stop him from borrowing the camp in the south of the city.
Thinking of this, he told Li Fang: "Go and get ready. Come with me to the south of the city in the afternoon. As soon as Yao Yuanfu leaves, you can go to the Ministry of War to borrow a camp. This time, no one will make things difficult for us."
"only."
As soon as Li Fang left, Lu Duan came rushing over again.
"What could make you so anxious?" Guo Zongyi joked. Once the matter in the barracks was resolved, he felt much better.
Lu Duan was only seventeen, a few years older than him, but he always had an old-fashioned look. In the past two days, he was bewitched by Li Fang, so he shaved off the hair on his mouth and rubbed ginger every night, hoping to grow it as soon as possible.
The beard seems to fit the appearance of an important minister that Li Fang said was "beautiful in appearance, and well-equipped in equipment and knowledge."
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, but I have something urgent." Lu Duan panted slightly. The emperor's grandson's mansion was huge. He ran from the stables to the front hall, twisting and turning, and ran for half a moment.
"Why don't you tell me if there's something urgent?"
"Wang Jun, Wang Jun has resigned." Lu Duan said solemnly.
Guo Zongyi chuckled and didn't take it seriously: "He was lying."
"No, it may be true this time." Lu Duan said anxiously, "After he left the court, he wrote a resignation form when he returned to the political hall. After submitting it, he didn't care whether it was accurate or not, and went home directly.
Thank you at the door."
Guo Zongyi's smile gradually faded. Is Wang Jun frustrated this time? Is he really giving up?
He found it unbelievable that he had just fallen to the ground in one round, so was he still Wang Jun and Wang Xiufeng? There must be a conspiracy behind this.
"This time it must be fake." Guo Zongyi said firmly.
Lu Duan wanted to talk more, but Guo Zongyi didn't give him another chance to speak. He rushed to ask: "Have the grain and linen materials that the three merchants sent us... arrived?"
"Two batches have arrived, and they are all stored in Cao Bin's camp." Lu Duan ignored His Highness's slip of the tongue and answered honestly.
"Order Cao Bin to escort a supply of food and supplies to the camp in the south of the city tomorrow night."
"only!"
Lu Duan was ordered to retire, and Guo Zongyi called Zhang Jin again: "Send someone to call Chai Wang to wait outside the camp in the south of the city. Leave all the work he is doing to Cao Han."
Then, he called Xue Juzheng from the west hall.
This famous minister who served in the imperial court of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty and was the main compiler of the history of the Old Five Dynasties was just forty years old at this time.
He was a native of Kaifeng and became a Jinshi in the second year of Qingtai in the Later Tang Dynasty. He was twenty-three that year and was famous for his articles. At a young age, he was already a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
Looking at Xue Juzheng's green robe that was very inconsistent with his age, Guo Zongyi couldn't help but sigh. Among the fellow Jinshi who were still serving as officials, there should be no one worse off than him.
In the past seventeen years, there have been four dynasties and six emperors. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne and is ennobled, he should be added to Fei Pao.
But he still wore a green suit, and he was not afraid of embarrassing the Jinshi.
Xue Juzheng's original official was Bibu Yuanwailang. From the sixth rank, he was assigned to lead the third division of salt and iron, Duzhi, and Hubu.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this mission was split. Each of the three departments was assigned an official, and was no longer led by one person.
Speaking of which, the power is not small. He is Li Gu's main official and should be given to Fei by the court.
"Ziping, are you still used to doing errands in the West Hall these days?" Guo Zongyi greeted cordially.
"Everywhere I work, I serve the imperial court. I don't think there is any difference." Xue Juzheng replied neither humble nor arrogant. He was born with a majestic appearance. When he said this, he seemed even more upright and righteous.
Guo Zongyi asked for trouble, and he understood why he was still a sixth-grade official.
He stopped being polite and immediately gave instructions: "The refugees will arrive in Beijing in the next two days. You and the officials in the West Hall will prepare everything. Early the next morning, you will go to the Forbidden Army Camp in the south of the city to take charge of the reception and resettlement."
"only."
ps: Thanks to fellow Taoist Chocolate Doenjiang for the reward, I finally responded.
