The officials entered the Chui Gong Hall with the memorial in their arms.
After Zhao Zhen, Liu E, and Kou Zhun sat down, all the officials saluted them.
After giving the gift.
Liu E felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Chui Gong Hall.
But she had no words.
Guo Huai followed the rules and declared: "If there is something to do, we will start to report, but if there is nothing to do, we will withdraw from the court."
Wang Shu held the imperial hut in his arms, slowly left the squad, and said: "Your Majesty Wang Shu, I would like to ask you to depose the Criminal Division and return the power to the six ministries."
When Liu E heard this, she frowned slightly.
The Criminal Division is in her hands, and it can be regarded as one of the few powerful yamen in her hands.
Three days ago, when Wang Shu's memorial appeared in front of her, she noticed that the trend of deposing the Sixth Department had changed, and the fire was burning from the Sixth Department to the Punishment Division.
She secretly suppressed Wang Shu's memorial, hoping that Wang Shu's memorial would be buried among other memorials, as if it had never appeared.
But she didn't expect that Kou Zhun found Wang Shu's memorial in the hall and read it to all the officials in public.
It was from that moment on that she realized that "Stop the Six Parts", from beginning to end, was a conspiracy designed by Kou Zhun against her.
She secretly counted the officials of the Sixth Department and discovered that officials in the Sixth Department had been transferred frequently in recent days.
Almost changed.
She calculated that she only had Lin Te and a few low-level officials in the Sixth Department.
At this point in her calculations, she also knew that the real purpose of dismissing the Sixth Division was to dismantle the Criminal Division.
Once the Criminal Division is dismantled, she will lose a powerful yamen in her hands.
Not only that, after the Sixth Department seizes the power of the Criminal Division, it will definitely threaten the Third Division and the Three Yamen.
Liu Bu Shangshu will become her another powerful opponent after Kou Zhun.
By that time, almost everyone in the civil and military dynasties, except for the people from the Third Division and the Third Yamen, were on the opposite side of her.
Once she was noticed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it would be dangerous for her to sit in the back seat.
Thinking of this, Liu E was frightened.
Immediately, she summoned Ding Wei, Cao Lili, Lu Yijian, Lin Te and others to discuss countermeasures.
At the end of the discussion, there was only one conclusion.
The Secretary of Punishment cannot be saved.
Lu Yijian suggested that Liu E follow the trend and dismiss the Ti Xing Si, so as to get rid of the threat posed to Liu E by the daily celestial phenomena of Taibai Jing, and then plan six ministries in Xu Xu.
Logically speaking, the advice given by Lu Yijian is very practical.
But Liu E did not adopt it.
Liu E was unwilling to let go of the power she held in her hands.
I don't even want to fight for it with others after I release it.
He finally adopted Ding Wei's suggestion, and several people joined forces to obtain a death warrant and a punishment.
Several of them joined forces to deal with the six officials, but it was still difficult.
The Six Ministries are not scary, nor are the Six Ministries officials. What is scary is the intricate relationships behind them.
Finally, Ding Wei suggested that he could use the officials in the court who threatened to depose the Six Ministries to deal with the Six Ministries officials, as well as their classmates and close friends.
If it doesn't work, you can take advantage of the situation and dismiss the six departments and keep the punishment department.
Although deposing the six departments will offend a large number of officials, retaining the Criminal Division is the key.
So when Wang Shu came out to petition for the dismissal of the Criminal Division, Liu E just frowned, but did not do anything drastic.
She stared at Wang Shu and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, someone petitioned to depose the Sixth Division, and now you petition to depose the Criminal Division. In a few days, will someone petition to depose the Third Division and the Third Yamen?
"
When Wang Shu heard this, he didn't say anything and just stood there with a bow.
Because he is not fighting alone, there is a group of Six Ministry officials behind him.
He is just a pioneer, and there are more people waiting to appear behind him.
He didn't need to argue with Liu E. Someone would argue with Liu E.
"Ahem..."
Cao Wei coughed softly twice, walked out of the class slowly, and said with cupped hands: "I'm going to call the official family, my empress, Grand Master, and veteran Cao Wei, please stop mentioning the punishment department."
He had guessed Kou Ji's plan from the moment Kou Ji's memorial to depose the six ministers appeared in the court.
He guessed that Kou Ji was pointing east and west, and the one who really wanted to be deposed must not be Liu Bu.
Otherwise, I would not have come to him personally and asked him to come out and serve as Minister of the Ministry of War.
It's just that at that time, he couldn't guess which of the three yamen that Kou Ji wanted to target: Ti Xing Si, San Si, and San Yamen.
It wasn't until he heard that Xia Song had hurt someone in the palace, was deposed from his official title, and was sent to the jail of the Ministry of Punishment that he knew that Kou Ji wanted to deal with the Punishment Division.
Because without Xia Song's punishment department, it is the weakest of the three yamen.
It just so happens that the Criminal Division is also the one that has taken away the most power from the Six Ministries among the three yamen.
Of course, he didn't know that Xia Song's injury to others in the palace was purely a personal act and had nothing to do with Kou Ji.
After he heard that Xia Song was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he naturally felt that Xia Song was harmed by Kou Ji.
Cao Wei just finished speaking.
Wang Qinruo went out to the class and said: "Old minister, please stop the punishment department and return the power to the six departments."
Although Wang Qinruo is old, his voice is not quiet.
After he finished his memorial, there were still lingering sounds echoing in the Chui Gong Hall.
He probably wanted to tell everyone in this way that he, Wang Qinruo, was back, that he, Wang Qinruo, was still going strong and that his, Wang Qinruo, deal with Ti Xing Si was only the first step.
As Wang Qinruo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Cao Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, spoke up, the officials of the other six ministries also came out one after another to petition for the removal of the Criminal Division.
For a time, officials from six ministries blocked the middle aisle of the civil and military train, making it completely dark.
Liu E had already anticipated this situation, so she remained calm during their petition.
After the officials from the six ministries had finished their petition, Liu E glanced at Ding Wei.
Ding said that his injury had just improved. In order to catch up with today's court meeting and to speak for Liu E, he sent someone to buy a bandit bus for a high price and sit in it.
Ding Wei waved to the eunuch waiting in the corner of the hall.
The eunuch who served in the chamber pushed him to the palace.
Ding Wei bowed his hands to Zhao Zhen and said: "It is now a critical moment to collect the autumn tax. The removal of the Criminal Division has delayed the collection of the autumn tax. Who is responsible?"
Ding Wei looked at the ministers and said coldly: "You only care about preserving your official positions and protecting your own personal interests. You completely ignore the important matter of tax collection. How can you have the dignity to stand in the court?"
Ding Wei pointed to the outside of the hall and said loudly: "Although I hate Kou Ji, I admired what Kou Ji said in the court that day. What he said is right, you are the scourge of the imperial court and the worms of the imperial court.
.
I see, there is really no need to keep the six volumes."
Without waiting for the officials of the six ministries to retort, Cao Lili went out and said: "It is late autumn now, when the Liao people go south to clear grass in the valley, and things are tight. It is not appropriate to make major changes in the court.
Once there are major changes, there will inevitably be chaos in the country.
If there is chaos in the country, the Liao people will definitely not miss this opportunity."
When Cao Wei heard this, he wanted to defend himself, but he swallowed it back when the words reached his lips.
Although Cao used his words to favor Liu E, he was telling the truth.
Although the two countries of Song and Liao formed a brotherly alliance.
But the Liao Kingdom has always been eyeing the Song Dynasty.
In August this autumn, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty sent Langjun Haobulu and other commanders to join the army of the Liao Kingdom to conquer Goryeo and defeated Goryeo.
With the complete surrender of Goryeo, Emperor Yelu Longxu's ambitions skyrocketed again, and he had the idea of going south to conquer the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty looked at his surroundings. Except for the Song Dynasty, which called him brother and brother, the other tribes and countries all bowed to him.
Naturally, he did not want to call himself brother to the Song Dynasty anymore.
However, due to the approaching winter, it was inconvenient for the Liao army to go on an expedition, so they put this idea aside for the time being.
But when he sent people to express condolences to Zhao Heng, he also sent an edict requesting an increase in annual coins.
At the same time, he also ordered the Liao soldiers from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to continue southward and enter the Song Dynasty to clear grass valleys, put pressure on the Song Dynasty, and forced the Song Dynasty to agree to the request for an increase in annual coins.
Although the Liao envoy has not yet arrived in Bianjing City, the officials have a clear understanding of the purpose of the Liao envoy's visit to the Song Dynasty.
When Cao Li mentioned this topic, the expressions of the officials changed.
But only for a moment.
Wang Qinruo said calmly: "Even if there are changes in the country by deposing the punishment department, it will not be too big. Above the court, six more ministries will quickly take power, and they will be able to quickly sort out the government affairs of the punishment department, and the various prefectures and states
Each county yamen has its own six-cao office. They have the power to handle the punishment affairs of the various states, prefectures and counties, and they can also sort out the government affairs of the punishment affairs departments of the states, prefectures and counties.
If there is any change, it will be caused by the deposed officials and petty officials of the Criminal Division.
The imperial court could have properly dealt with the officials and minor officials in the punishment department before deposing the punishment department.
As for the Liao soldiers and horses going south, it is pure nonsense.
Seeing that winter is approaching, the herdsmen of various tribes in the Liao Kingdom have to guard their cattle and sheep to survive the harsh winter. They all want to stay at home without leaving their homes, so they have no intention of going south.
Even if the Liao people have the intention of going south, it will be next year.
By next year, the transfer of power between the Sixth Department and the Criminal Division will probably be coming to an end.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether the Liao soldiers and horses will go south.
The real key is to depose and punish the prosecutor."
Wang Qinruo looked at all the officials in the court and said: "It is not my intention to depose the punishment department, nor is it the intention of the officials of the six ministries. It is the intention of God. If the court does not comply with the will of God, I am afraid that God will not wait until the Liao people go south.
Let me destroy the Song Dynasty."
When Liu E heard this, she frowned and said nothing.
Kou Zhun asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Wang Qinruo said quietly: "Do you still remember the locust plague in Sichuan and Sichuan at the beginning of the year?"
Kou Zhun frowned and said: "There is a locust plague in Sichuan and Shu. The imperial court has allocated money for disaster relief and reduced the taxes in Sichuan and Shu this year. This matter has been properly handled and I personally handled it. Now you can mention it as a
very?"
Wang Qinruo said in a deep voice: "The reason why I mentioned the Sichuan-Sichuan locust plague again is because the imperial court ignored the heavenly phenomena, which caused God to bring another disaster, and the disaster-stricken place was Sichuan and Shu."
"What?"
All civil and military officials in the court, including Liu E and Kou Zhun, looked horrified.
Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus and shouted: "Explain it to me quickly? What disaster happened to Sichuan and Sichuan? Why didn't the imperial court hear the news?"
Wang Qinruo said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Sichuan and Sichuan suffered from two frost disasters."
When it comes to frost, people love and hate it.
Because it is both beneficial and harmful to crops.
It can kill pests in crops, and it can also kill crops together.
The so-called frost disaster refers to frost that kills crops together.
If the frost falls but does not condense, and the weather is extremely cold, it is a frost disaster.
When they heard that Sichuan and Sichuan had suffered another frost disaster, Kou Zhun and Liu E couldn't sit still.
Kou Zhun almost stood up by patting the armrest of Kou's bus.
Liu E stood up suddenly and asked: "Such a big thing happened, why hasn't the Ai family received any news yet?"
Wang Qinruo said calmly: "Of course someone below concealed the truth and was unwilling to tell the court. It is said that it is a certain official in Sichuan and Shu who wants to use natural disasters to unite with the wealthy families in Sichuan and Shu to annex the people's land."
"What audacity! Everyone deserves to die!"
Kou Zhun roared with a black face: "Go to Yizhou Road to appease the envoys and investigate the matter in detail. Once it is found to be true, we will kill them all and implicate the three clans."
Kou Zhun was never merciless as an official who seemed to care about human life.
Wang Qinruo didn't pay attention to Kou Zhun's anger. He cupped his hand and continued: "I feel that the frost disaster in Sichuan is just the beginning. If the court does not comply with God's will, there is no guarantee that God will not bring greater disasters.
Winter is coming soon, and snowstorms happen every year..."
Wang Qinruo had just finished speaking.
Zhao Yuanyan came out of the class and said: "It is God's will to depose and raise the criminal department. I hope the emperor's sister-in-law, Grand Master Kou, can comply with God's will and prevent the people from suffering."
Wang Zeng was no longer silent. He went out and followed the call: "For the sake of the common people in the world, the punishment department has to stop."
Li Di came out of the class and said: "For the sake of the people of the world, please stop mentioning the criminal department."
Subsequently, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty petitioned and deposed the Criminal Division.
Liu E, Ding Wei, and Cao Li looked at the civil and military officials of the court standing in the hall with astonishment on their faces.
They had previously thought of borrowing the power of Li Di and others to deal with the six tribes.
Now, instead of helping Ti Xing Si to speak up, Li Di and others joined the six departments in asking him to dismiss Ti Xing Si.
Only Lu Yijian shook his head and sighed.
The advice he gave Liu E before was the best advice, but Liu E didn't listen, which led to today's situation.
Ding Wei's proposal to depose the six tribes with the help of hundreds of officials made Lu Yijian think it was a bit whimsical.
Because in the court, except for a few of them, no one cared about the interests of Ti Xing Si.
Lu Yijian glanced at Kou Zhun who was sitting on Kou's bus, raised his hands to Liu E and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Yijian, please stop mentioning the criminal department."
He was reminding Liu E to speak as soon as possible, to comply with the wishes of the officials, and not to let Kou Zhun take the lead.
Once Kou Zhun speaks first.
Liu E was completely on the opposite side of Baiguan.
Liu E hesitated after hearing Lu Yijian's words.
But Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus and stood up staggeringly.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Kou Zhun cupped his hands to Zhao Zhen and said, "Officials and veterans think that I should be promoted to the criminal department!"
Liu E opened her mouth and almost shouted, why didn't Liu Bu be dismissed?
When Lu Yijian heard Kou Zhun speak, he sighed and closed his eyes in pain.
