Chapter 572: Orchard is happy, the court is full of waves
Chapter 572: Orchard is happy and the court is in turmoil
In the memorial, Shen Tang and Ye Mao both explained the reasons behind this incident.
Moreover, Shen Tang also sent secret messages to Zhang Jun and Shi Hao.
Come to think of it, as long as there are no accidents, a mere Maozhou judge will definitely be able to catch him!
Furthermore, in the subsequent war against Tubo, Shen Tang also needed the Qiang people to contribute.
It is also a normal method to win over the Qiang people.
Ye Mao's words stunned all the Qiang people, and then there was an uproar!
There are not many Qiang people holding official positions in the government, but they are basically middle and low-level officials. How can the judge, the second-in-command of the state government and a legitimate high-ranking official, be the same?
Even Orchard is full of surprises.
"Thank you, Sir, Orchard!"
Ye Mao nodded slightly, "You don't need to be polite, Chief of the Orchard Clan. In the future, you and I will be colleagues, and we need to work together... Now that you have just become the leader of the Qiang Clan, it is a good time to smooth things out in the clan first. After all, when the decree comes, The head of the Orchard clan will live in the government office permanently."
"Don't worry, sir, Orchard will definitely live up to the support of you and the commander-in-chief."
Orchard takes care of luggage.
Afterwards, the enthronement ceremony ended in a festive atmosphere. Everyone took out the food that had been prepared, sang and danced, and rejoiced.
But Shen Tang didn't stay too long. The Qiang people's affairs were decided, and now it was time to consider going south...
Lin'an, inside the palace!
Since Shen Tang left Lin'an and led his troops to Chengdu Prefecture, everyone's worries about the war in Chengdu Prefecture have been reduced a lot.
In addition, the battle report of Chengdu Prefecture came out. Although it is still a long time before the decisive battle, the Song Army not only stabilized the situation, but also defeated the generals all the way. The siege of Chengdu Prefecture has also been lifted.
Therefore, everyone is naturally more reassured.
However, as the situation gradually stabilized, the bad nature of these people was revealed again.
"If you have the foundation, you will play early, if you don't have the foundation, you will retreat!"
Zhao Hao sat high on the dragon throne and felt happy! The people in the north were recuperating and recuperating during the peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin. The war in Chengdu Prefecture was progressing smoothly, and he finally recovered from his anxiety.
"Your Majesty, General Shen Tang of the Western Expedition has received an urgent report. Ye Mao, the prefect of Maozhou, has also sent a report!"
Shi Hao comes out of class to play!
"oh?"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "In that case, Shi Aiqing should read it out again and see what our general has to report."
Shi Hao responded, and then took out the memorials written by Shen Tang and Ye Mao and read them out loud.
Shen Tang's report mentioned recent actions and his next plans, and Ye Mao's report also mentioned the Qiang people. The only similarity is that both of them explained their reasons and strongly recommended Orchard to become Mao. The state judge hopes that Zhao Zhen can issue an order.
After hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded slightly. He was just a judge, and with the reputation of Shen and Tang, he would naturally agree.
Moreover, the two people's reasons are also very sufficient, and they are not arbitrary!
"All the ministers have heard the report of the two men. So, what do you think of this matter?"
After the words fell and there was a moment of silence, Zhang Jun was the first to come out of the class and say, "I agree!"
Shi Hao on the side also said, "Although it is unreasonable, Maozhou's situation is special. It would be a good thing if this Qiang tribe leader becomes a judge to make Maozhou more obedient to the court."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Okay, that's it..."
"Your Majesty, wait!"
At this moment, the official's doctor suddenly spoke, but actually blocked Zhao Min's words.
Zhao Shen was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "What do you think of Fang Aiqing!"
The doctor in the Ministry of Rites, whose name was Fang Tianhua, responded immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I participated in the performance of General Shen Tang of the Western Expedition and showed disobedience. Your Majesty shall immediately summon him back to Lin'an for punishment."
As soon as this statement came out, many people were immediately stunned. However, some people's expressions changed slightly, and they were obviously thinking about something in their hearts.
"oh?"
Zhao Shen's words fell silent, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness!
"Shen Tang is my personally appointed General of the Expedition to the West. He led his troops thousands of miles away to quell the war at Chengdu Fulu. Although the war is not yet completely over, he has worked hard and achieved great results. So, I don't know what Fang Aiqing said about punishing crimes. From then on, Where did it come from!”
After a slight pause, Zhao Shen continued to say in a cold voice, "Fang Aiqing, if what you said is reasonable, I will think about it.
However, if you are making trouble unreasonably, don’t blame me for punishing you!”
In Zhao Shen's heart, Shen Tang can naturally be trusted.
Moreover, although what happened last time is over, Zhao Shen had to temporarily deprive Shen Tang of his official position because of his innocence, making Zhao Shen somewhat indebted to Shen Tang.
In addition, Shen Tang had just been convicted, and what happened in Chengdu Prefecture happened. Shen Tang started running for the country, first going to the Kingdom of Jin to borrow troops, and then fighting in Chengdu Prefecture again and again.
Now, someone actually wants to convict Shen Tang again. It would be strange if Zhao Shen felt happy.
Zhao Shen's cold words came to Fang Tianhua's face, making Fang Tianhua's eyes flash with fear. However, thinking of the promises made by certain people, he hung down slightly, but still said, "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the imperial court. If you lie, , you should plead guilty!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhao Shen said impatiently.
"The first crime of the minister Shen Tang is to exercise authority and exceed his authority!"
Fang Tianhua immediately said, "Although Shen Tang is the general who conquered the west, he does not have the right to appoint the judge of Maozhou! Now, he is just talking nonsense with the Holy Grace.
Today, if he agrees to appoint a Maozhou judge, will there be a Mianzhou magistrate tomorrow?
Will someone come out of Chengdu to stay behind in the future?
If this continues, then is this Chengdu Mansion Road the imperial court's Chengdu Mansion or Shen Tang's Chengdu Mansion?
Should these appointed officials be grateful to His Majesty and the imperial court, or should they be grateful to Shen Tang?"
"presumptuous!"
Among the ministers, Shi Hao looked solemn, but Zhang Jun was furious! It was these villains who were stirring up trouble in the court every day. If possible, he really wanted to drag all these ignorant guys to the battlefield and kill them.
Therefore, when Zhang Jun heard that Fang Tianhua slandered Shen Tang, Zhang Jun's hair and beard immediately stood up.
"Fang Tianhua and Shen Tang are the generals of the Western Conquest, and they have the power to make arbitrary decisions on the road to Chengdu.
Moreover, the situation in Maozhou is special. Didn’t you see that the prefect of Maozhou also made such a request?
What are your intentions in falsely accusing the imperial general!"
The angry Zhang Jun made Fang Tianhua shrink back. This old prime minister was not someone to be trifled with.
However, since he opened his mouth today, he had already thought about it, and now he has no chance to refuse.
"Prime Minister Zhang, please calm down!"
Fang Tianhua said, "It is precisely because the prefect of Maozhou also spoke at the same time that this matter becomes even more mysterious!"
