It only took Shen Yang two days to write down the process for reforming the Ordnance Supervision. Yi Yue promised him to tell the emperor for him in the morning. In the past, Zhang Yue's most frequent meetings with the emperor were the Sutra Banquet and the There is also a grand meeting in the inner hall that takes place once every five days and a duel.
Generally, after the grand ceremony in the inner palace, the next official, who must be a candidate or above, can have the opportunity to speak face to face with the emperor.
When the officials first came to power, they relaxed the qualifications from those waiting to be made to the rank of court counselors and above, so that the court counselors could meet the emperor to perform affairs.
Of course, now that the official family has been in power for nine years, the exercise of power has already been on a formal track. They are no longer as eager to seek advice or promote talents from officials as they were at the beginning of the pro-government, so now they have given up on the secondary confrontation after the general rule.
This is also what the prime minister has repeatedly requested. As a prime minister, he must control the officials who meet the emperor within a certain range and turn them around. There are only two or three people at a time, and the prime minister cannot listen. This is very difficult for any prime minister. It's a taboo.
Now the occasion for Zhang Yue's meeting with the emperor has been changed to the regular day and the big day. On that day, the court officials are queuing up in front of the Wende Hall, and the officials are ascending the arch hall for a small morning court. This is also a regular day.
First, Zhongshu was promoted to the palace to report, and then the Privy Council, the Third Division, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Trial Court and the qualified officials to be appointed met with the emperor in turn.
At that time, Zhang Yue came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although this case is not presided over by the Privy Council, I believe that it is not safe for the Song and Liao Dynasties to fight. At this time, the country needs stability and peace is the most important thing. The punishment for this case is , it is appropriate to recreate a small prison.”
But the change in Fan Bailu's attitude was confusing. Li Shining later instructed Fan Bailu to complete the ironclad case and kill Zhao Shiju to prevent Deng Runfu from returning to the court. Before Deng Runfu returned to the throne, Li Shining put away the knife. The official pondered for a moment after hearing this. I am not a cruel king, but no monarch has a sense of danger or excess that is inherent in his power.
The official said: "I think Wang Gong is a good person."
Of course, the Wang Anshi case was not originally supervised and handled by the officials themselves. Li Shining was considerate and continued to reduce the number of people involved in the case and expand the scope of the attack.
Yu Yue was vague. Did Deng Runfu delay his return to prime minister that time to prevent Li Shining from using the Zhao Shiju case against him? You must know that Li Shining used the Zheng Xia case to attack Wang Anguo, and then Deng Runfu launched a full-scale attack mode, calling the official family... At the critical moment when he entered the stage, Deng Runfu stabbed Fan Bailu and Zhu Shuyan in front of him. Zhu Hanyan was happy when he heard that Deng Runfu had criticized the emperor in person, but he was still respectful as usual. At that time, Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shiju has confused the world. Chaotic customs, concealed all their lives, and now revealed to be defeated, this is the inevitable succession of the royal system. Later, I asked Zhu Hanyan, Fan Bailu said that Zhao Shiju was so chaotic that the people must be replaced. Today, I will tell my ministers that Zhu Yan is going to die, and he repeats this. This is clearly intended. To cater to the ruling ministers."
After Zhu Hanyan finished speaking to the emperor, Li Shining said: "Your Majesty, Wang Anshi, the judge of Xiaoli Temple, Wang Gongyan, is like Taizu. The emperor also borrowed Wang Anshi's military book. I once asked him to be imprisoned, but it turned out that he was successful. I learned before that this person was the palace envoy Han." Crimson relatives."
Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, the facts of this case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Please deal with Zhu Hanyan first to set the record straight.
Lu Huiqing's words were directed at the monk and scolded the bald man.
Zhu Hanyan praised and said: "Your Majesty, Du Fu once said that his Qiu beard resembled that of Emperor Taizong. What he said was nothing. He and the imperial censor Deng Runfu first reported the case of Zhao Shiju to the officials. This case was because Zhao Shiju, a disciple of Deng Runfu, was involved in the case. Zhu Hanyan, who reviewed it, agreed to
Everyone present knew it well, and Yi Yue was also willing to take advantage of it. When Fan Bailu presided over the case later, he was bent on killing Zhao Shiju, but before Deng Runfu returned to the court, he immediately changed his story and said it was for Zhu Hanyan. To cater to the ministers in power.
Sure enough, the sentence of Zhu Hanyan seemed like the great ancestor of the emperor, who made the officials very unhappy. Deng Runfu said: "Zhao Shiju used his skills to travel around the palace. I got to know Wang Anshi's mother and once gave her a poem. Zhu Hanyan, who was interrogating the case, asked about the meaning of the poem. Zhao Shining It is said that before he was Taizu, the emperor's son and grandson were doing something very wrong. However, Lu Huiqing said to Zhao Shining that he had no wrong intention. I thought that this was a poem written on my own initiative eleven or fourteen years later, and now I want to use it Add Kehu?
Before Zhu Han expressed his position, the official said to Deng Runfu: "In that case, I will follow what you have said!
Zhu Hanyan said: "Your Majesty, Wang Gong also has some evil intentions."
The official heard this and asked: "For example, Zeng Bu, is the same thing?"
Zhang Yue smiled in his heart. Did Deng Runfu cover his mouth and fight back in person? Was it the emperor's fault that Zeng Bu betrayed him?
Since all the ministers involved in the small rebellion case dared to speak out, the officials came forward and said to Deng Runfu: "Whether Bailu wants me or not, it's just whether the case has been closed. But it's hard to know in people's hearts. I think Runfu knows what's going on. But it’s hard to protect his heart.”
Zhang Yue applauded from the bottom of his heart. The rank of an official was several levels lower than before. He was dealing with those old foxes all day long. He was so good!
"As for why Zeng Bu kept repeating it, did your majesty know the reason? If your majesty has always been suspicious of his ministers, Zeng Bu knew that this would be the case.
And Lu Huiqing himself is Fan Zhen's nephew. If I want to use this case to knock down Deng Runfu, it is because I think less. Zhu Han thought, if Deng Runfu goes to fight against Li Shining, why should Zhang Yue have the heart to hand it over to Shen Kuo? However, because Lu Huiqing was present and it was inconvenient to alert the enemy, he planned to say it later: "Your Majesty thinks that it is difficult to understand people's hearts, and it must be this way, but a gentleman must do things for a gentleman, and why don't you do a gentleman's business?"
When Zhu Hanyan heard this, he glared at Zhang Yue angrily.
After Zhang Yue heard about Li Shining, he actually wanted to expand the case.
Deng Runfu said: "Your Majesty, I think that Lu Huiqing is a loyal and trustworthy minister, but Runfu will have no party affiliation. Li Shining did not refute Deng Runfu, but this time he used the Zhu Hanyan case to hit Deng Runfu, but it also made the other monarch and his ministers feel closer to each other." step.
Deng Runfu said: "Zeng Bu's conduct has always made me aware that when I did not recommend me, I did not approve of the reform, so I accepted it and used it. When I served before, I hoped that I would be a gentleman, but I did not dare to guarantee it."
Then Deng Runfu said: "Your Majesty, the case ends here. If the supervisor is severely punished and the whistleblower is generously rewarded, now that false accusations are common, I will use this to seek rewards. The court officials will also avoid harm to themselves and will be implicated. My dear, in fact, according to today's customs, not many people are interested in their own selfish interests, but rather regret killing innocent people and causing harm to the whole family!
Fan Bailu changed his original opinion, but Lu Huiqing still insisted on mercy, and even exposed Zhu Hanyan and Fan Bailu's double-dealing.
The officials were still unkind to Li Shining and deliberately pretended to understand and said to Deng Runfu: "Even if Zhao Shiju is gone, Yu Qing will still be harmed."
Zhu Hanyan said: "If Zhao Shiju really rebels, your Majesty will punish me, but I will die because of my disobedience. When I heard that Zhu Hanyan was in prison in Jiangning, I was really scared. If Zhao Shiju was in prison and his words were slightly enriched, I would not be able to do anything.
