Chapter 362 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall (1)
The next day is the day of the regular morning.
Since it is a regular court, it is naturally common for officials who are promoted to court in Bianjing City. But the atmosphere of today's regular court is very different, because the incident that happened in Kaifeng Mansion last night has spread throughout the waiting court.
Wen Xianggong, who had only been in office for only six days, had a conflict with Han Xianggong, who had always said that he was right. This was like a thunder on the ground, which added great tension to the already undercurrents in the Bianjing government and the public. All the officials, big and small, who were waiting for the leak were all
This news made me restless, but my thoughts were different.
"I heard that Mr. Wen didn't show his sincerity to Mr. Han?" This is the question asked by most of the officials who have attached themselves to Zhao Zongji: "How could he fall out in the blink of an eye?"
"It must be a misunderstanding. I guess we didn't communicate well in advance." Someone analyzed in a serious manner: "Maybe I thought of it and crashed the car."
"It's possible." Most of them believed that under the current situation, Mr. Wen would not be so ignorant of current affairs: "It should be just a small disturbance and it will pass soon."
"But Sun Qigong has already become famous in Bianjing..." Someone was not so optimistic and whispered: "I'm afraid it will be impossible for Yousi to deal with it in a low-key manner."
"Yes, I heard that it was still the case of Erguhe. The man surnamed Sun sued the prince for hiding the number of the dead."
"That's nonsense. How could the prince do such a thing? Even if it's true, it's just the people below!" Someone immediately stopped and said, "Besides, it's probably someone who is spreading rumors!"
"So, only by quickly finding out the case can we clear the prince's name!" This is what everyone said, but what they were thinking in their hearts was: 'It's hard to close the lid now, the prince is in big trouble.
...'
But all in all, everyone still believes that this is just a minor trouble. Even if they don't believe in the prince, they should believe that with the two prime ministers Han and Wen here, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.
There was a lot of discussion in other courtyards, but the first courtyard on the left, where the ministers were waiting for the court, was quiet.
Since it is the place where the prime ministers wait for court, the decoration, layout, and the food and wine provided are far better than others. But at this moment, looking at the livid face of Mr. Han who is sitting at the top, all the prime ministers have no intention.
When eating or drinking, just watch your eyes, nose, and mind, and just sit quietly.
Han Qi's gaze passed over everyone's faces. The dark circles and red eyes showed that the Prime Minister had not slept all night. At midnight last night, he learned the whole story of the incident, and he was immersed in the feeling of being deceived and betrayed.
In the midst of his anger, he could now conclude that Wen Yanbo was being obedient to him, and that he came out this time with all his strength to establish another branch!
Han Qi was furious when he thought of Wen Yanbo's humble letter. He had been in the officialdom for thirty years, but had he ever been treated like a fool? Wen Yanbo, I want you to look good!
Therefore, today Mr. Han came to look for Wen Yanbo with murderous intent. No matter what, he should scold him severely to calm down his anger before talking about anything else.
Unfortunately, Wen Yanbo seemed to have expected it, so he refused to show up. It was not until the bell on the city gate rang and all the officials came out of the courtyard to go on duty in front of Xuande Gate that he came late.
"I'm sorry," Wen Yanbo cupped his fists and smiled at everyone, "I'm used to being lazy in Xijing. I'm really not used to going to court so early in the morning."
Everyone did not dare to reply. They all glanced at Xianggong Han, who was standing in the foreman's queue, and saw that his face was really dark.
Wen Yanbo stood next to Han Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Good morning, Prime Minister Han."
However, Han Qi's nostrils were turned upward, and after a long while he hummed: "Xianggong Wen is so good at concealing the truth!"
"Prime Minister Han, be careful," Wen Yanbo said sternly: "Who is God? I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! I ask myself that I have not deceived your Majesty in anything, so how can I hide it from Heaven?"
"Hmph..." Han Qi caught the word, glared at him fiercely, and whispered: "Villain!"
"Both each other." Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "It's time to go to court, Prime Minister Han."
"Hmph..." Han Qi flicked his sleeves and strode into the palace gate, followed by hundreds of officials quickly following behind.
On the way to the main hall, Han Qi said in a deep voice that could be heard by the two of them: "So, you are determined to protect the Ming Lord?"
"The words of Prime Minister Han are wrong," Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "What we are waiting to protect is the emperor of the day. Apart from that, it is not the behavior of a human minister to protect anyone else." After a pause, he said with a sincere face: "I think
Mr. Han has some misunderstandings about me. I am just a more upright person and a more responsible official. If I offend Mr. Han unintentionally, please forgive me."
Han Qi immediately felt like vomiting. Wen Yanbo's thick black magical skill has been practiced to the point where it is invincible. It seems that he has not been just hanging around in Luoyang all these years...
"In that case, just think that I am blind this time." After gathering his composure, Han Qi said coldly: "The days are long, let's see who among us can have the last laugh!"
"Haha..." Wen Yanbo laughed, but his eyes were filled with coldness and he said: "Prime Minister Han, just come here!"
While they were talking, the two people lined up in court, and the officials behind them seemed to see two raging fires igniting around the two people, and then returned to calm...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After going to court, Zhao Zhen actually took the initiative to ask about this matter.
Zhao Bian, the prefect of Kaifeng, had no choice but to go out and report that yesterday, Sun Qigong, a native of Qizhou, sued Zhao Zongshi, the king of Qingling County, for concealing the number of casualties in the Ergu River project, slandering the victims as escapees, and also brought the dispute over the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishments to light.
When he came out, he asked for the Holy Judge.
"Zongshi," Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Zongshi and said, "What's going on?"
"My minister is very confused," Zhao Zongshi hurriedly went out and said: "At that time, the river engineering affairs were complicated and it was impossible to cover everything. Please send someone to investigate. If this happens, I would rather accept the blame!"
"Yes." Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "As a prince, you should have this responsibility." Then he said to Han Qi Wenyanbo: "Why did you two get into a fight?"
"Your Majesty, this is an old minister and Mr. Wen who have just partnered up, and there is still some miscommunication." Han Qi did not expect that Zhao Zhen had already known about the matter, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "So it is inevitable that the order will be sent to many places, and we must avoid it in the future.
.”
"Really?" Zhao Zhen looked at Wen Yanbo and said.
"That's right." Wen Yanbo nodded.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding." Zhao Zhen said with a meaningful smile: "But there is only one Sun Qigong. Should he give it to the Ministry of Punishment or the Dali Temple?"
"According to regulations, the case should be heard by Dali Temple." Zhao Gai immediately came out and said.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Han Jiang quickly said without giving in: "This case should be regarded as part of the Erguhe case. The Erguhe case has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, this case should also be tried by the Ministry of Punishment."
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Zhen looked at Han Qi and Wen Yanbo and asked.
"Leave it to the Holy Judgment." Both of them are veteran warriors with rich experience in fighting. They know that in front of the emperor, they still have to maintain harmony. There is no benefit in making conflicts public.
"In that case..." Zhao Zhen muttered: "The case of Erguhe has been pending for a long time. This time, the case will be merged into the case and will be tried by the three judicial departments!"
In the situation where Han Qi and Wen Yanbo formed Duizi, it was naturally the officials who had the final say...
So the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly handled the case, but the person in charge was Wen Xianggong, who was responsible for the punishment.
So this game seems to be a draw, but in fact Mr. Han lost...
"We can't wait any longer, we must push for the establishment of a reserve immediately!" Returning to the check-in room, Han Qi rarely got angry. He was filled with a strong sense of crisis and had no time to care. He called Wang Gongchen and Wu Kui.
Coming over, Han Qi ordered in a cold voice: "I originally planned to wait until the storm in Ergu River has passed, but now it seems that they are deliberately causing trouble and want to delay Zhao Zongji's return."
"Yes." Wang Gongchen nodded and said: "It is said that Zhao Zongji is making rapid progress in Jiangxi, which is unexpected, and it is just around the corner to completely put an end to the chaos." After a pause, he said: "I suppressed the relevant report, but the paper cannot contain the anger.
, we have to make plans early."
"This Zhao Zongji is really like a god." Wu Kui said with a complicated expression on his face: "How come he can solve any problem and do it so beautifully?" He didn't say anything else: "Our man
Why do you always have to rely on us to wipe your butt?'
Although he didn't say it out loud, everyone knew it. Wang Gongchen sighed softly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Everyone wants a prince who is tolerant and easy to talk to. But since ancient times, those who achieve things are all quick and decisive.
My dear, this matter is difficult to solve in ancient times!"
"So the plan for now is to quickly establish a reserve. After the reserve is established, all the two and three rivers will be wiped out." Han Qi said solemnly: "Since the official family promised to establish the reserve within two years, there is still time to go before the deadline.
One month, a great country must be based on integrity, and this cannot be delayed for even a day!"
In fact, Han Qi did not say a word, that is, he had a premonition that the situation was not good, and the longer it was delayed, the worse it would be, so the emperor must not regret it this time!
"Please give me your instructions, sir!" Wang Gongchen and Wu Kui also realized the seriousness and responded in unison.
"The East Palace is ready to be completed," Han Qi said solemnly, "Let the officials come up with congratulations!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Han Xianggong gave an order, the East Palace project, which had been delayed for many days, was declared completed.
The officials had written the congratulatory form two months ago and naturally handed it over as soon as possible. In addition to congratulating on the completion of the reconstruction of the East Palace, the congratulatory form also reminded the emperor to please abide by his promise and immediately establish a crown prince for the Song Dynasty!
The public sentiment is so great that Zhao Zhen cannot ignore it. What's more terrible is that the East and West mansions, three divisions and six departments are also listed separately, and the content is exactly the same - congratulations on the completion of the East Palace, please keep your promise and establish a prince!
An atmosphere in which public opinion cannot be violated, and even the emperor had to bow his head, soon formed...
