Chapter 467 Completely out of control

The gossip continued to ferment. After being reminded by Sun Sigong, Zhao Xu handed over Jiang Zhiqi's bullets to Zhongshu and asked Jiang Zhiqi to reveal the source of the news.

Jiang Zhiqi couldn't bear it for a few days and admitted that he got it from Peng Siyong.

Zhao Xu also asked Peng and Jiang to "give the name of the messenger" and to clearly explain the source of the information.

Peng Siyong resolutely refused to betray his fellow villager Liu Jin, so he carried him down alone and declined: "It's because of hearsay. He is old and frail and cannot remember the name of the Lord."

According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, Taiwanese admonishers have the right to "hear rumors" and can refuse to disclose the source of the information.

This was a privilege of the Taiwanese admonishment officers in the Song Dynasty, which was designed to protect the smooth flow of speech. It was also the fundamental reason for the "unruly Taiwanese admonishment".

So Peng Siyong continued to speak unashamedly: "If I hear anything from the Xianfu Government, I will discuss it with my colleagues, so I will tell you the reason for the rumor. However, it is ambiguous and untrue. Don't talk about the strangeness after tasting it. There is no escape."

"The Faxu Censor heard what he said, so he is very smart. If he has to ask about his origins and commit a crime, he will not be heard again. It is better to be relegated than to block the way of the emperor's speech."

Jiang Zhiqi also reported: "This matter was brought to my attention by Siyong, so I went up to hear about it. If I should not use the wind to hear about ministerial affairs, I would be willing to be demoted along with Siyong."

When the matter reached this point, most officials suspected that this was a false accusation, and even began to cast suspicious eyes on Zhao Xu, and began to sympathize with Han Zeng and Ouyang.

This is by no means the script that Zhao Xu envisioned. Although Zhao Xu originally had the intention of beating or even replacing the prime minister, it does not mean that he is willing to implement it in such a clumsy way and is willing to bear the burden of the censors' lunch-like performance.

The pot pays the bill!

So the decree came down quickly, and Peng Siyong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was sent to the imperial censor Zhongcheng to serve as the official, and he knew Huangzhou;

Jiang Zhiqi, the host and guest official, and the palace attendant, Shi Lixing, was Dr. Taichang and supervised the wine tax in Daozhou.

He also issued an imperial edict to Ouyang Xiu, ordering him to take charge of the matter, and "expose him to the court, so that both the inside and outside will know that it is false." This can be said to have restored Ouyang Xiu's innocence.

Although Peng Siyong and Jiang Zhiqi paid a heavy price for their poor performance, Ouyang Xiu was already disheartened and begged three times for orders to go out to guard. In the end, he became a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and knew Bozhou.

Wu Kui, Deputy Privy Envoy and Minister of Rites, took over his duties.

But Taijian's firing continued.

Soon, Wang Tao found another excuse for Han Qi, because he wanted to recall Guo Kui back to sign the Privy Council.

"Han Qi led Guo Kui to the second house, and even used the story of Taizu's departure to rob the master. Han Qi must have treacherous words to confuse Sheng Cong, and he is willing to depose Guo Kui and become Weizhou."

Zhao Xu directly rejected this routine: "The former emperor Guo Kui used it, and now he has suddenly dismissed it, which is a mistake of the late emperor's appointment."

Then the Yushitai found an accusation against the Prime Minister from the "Edicts compiled by Huang You": Chang Chao Ri, one of the round Prime Ministers was in charge of the class.

As for Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang, they often missed work and did not check attendance!

So Wang Tao once again impeached Han Qi, and Zeng Gongliang refused to imprison Chang Chaoban. This was a sign of domineering. The article described Han Qi, citing Huo Guang and Liang Ji as metaphors for doing whatever he wanted.

Zhao Xu ordered people to take Wang Tao's bullets to Han Qi, who was still at home awaiting punishment. Han Qi replied: "I am not a domineering person. Your Majesty sent a small Huangmen here, and I can be bound and gone."

.”

Zhao Xu had no idea at this time. He once asked Teng Fu, who knew the imperial edict, how he viewed the matter. Teng Fu said: "The prime minister is certainly guilty, but he should discuss the matter based on the facts. If he is accused of being domineering, the minister will think that he is deceiving heaven and trapping others."

I don't know where Jiang Zhiqi learned that Zhao Xu had objections to Shao Kang's suggestion that the Queen Mother come to court, so he told his companion Wu Shen, who immediately impeached Shao Kang.

Shao Kang was attending the tribute ceremony with Sima Guang at that time. After he came out, he went to the palace to explain to himself: "Since the late emperor has not hesitated, the ministers are not allowed to come in. The ministers have no way to express their opinions. There must be a report."

"Please ask your majesty to find it in the prison. If you get it, I will kill you. Otherwise, how can you not ask those who falsely accused me? I would like to go to prison to find out the truth!"

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "I have never doubted Ai Qing. Wu Shen told the central committee not to do it."

…

In Cishou Palace, the Empress Dowager and Su Xiaomei were still cooking calamus.

The Empress Dowager's eyesight was not very good, but she wanted to do it herself, so she wore Seluluo's reading glasses and asked her little sister to point out the problem to her, and then started to operate it.

The new plastic material was used by Su You in later transliteration, and the meaning was changed to mean that the fabricated frame was more light and transparent than new dew.

While picking the leaves, the Empress Dowager said: "Is it because the admonishment officials want to obey, or is it because the prime minister is really at fault and it is found out in one try? The official family is young after all, how can such an admonition be given?"

Useful..."

Shao Kang was impeached because Su Xiaomei secretly asked the Empress Dowager to give Zhao Xu an idea, in order to remind him to see clearly the despicable mentality of everyone in Taiwan and not to be used when others were being used.

Even if it is the emperor's dog, biting still requires skill, okay?

Su Xiaomei didn't say anything, and the Empress Dowager continued: "The owner's preferences must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it will be like what is happening in the court today."

"Taiwan's remonstrance goes too far, and it will push all the officials to sympathize with the prime minister. If someone is selfish, it will be a crime if they are not listed in the regular court. Huh, it is really too low-level..."

Su Xiaomei smiled and said: "These words are only spoken when the official comes to greet you."

The Empress Dowager also laughed: "What are you talking about? It's a joke to ask me to listen to politics behind the curtain again. Officials deliberately mentioned it, and admonishers flocked to it. Is there any way to do it?"

"Oh, you will gain wisdom by taking every step. Officials are still young. If you don't beat them, you won't be wise. If you don't learn how to measure, you won't be able to win people. Forget it, let's take a look, little sister, where else needs to be taken care of?

…”

Tai's remonstrance was really ineffective and he used low-level tactics. As a result, even a minister could not be brought down and even made a fuss. Zhao Xu decided to replace him.

Wang Tao is too incompetent and must be replaced by a capable person!

If you want to ask which one is the best at speaking out? Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty!

"Bingyin, the emperor moved Tao to become a Hanlin scholar, and Sima Guangquan was the censor Zhongcheng."

The two forwards exchange positions with each other.

Sima Guang is the one who is expected by the times, and there is no problem with his appointment. Wu Kui is eager to have an expert!

When Sima Dajian led Taijian, there was no one old or young in impeachment, but how could there be such a chaotic and strange situation now?!

However, Sima Guang was not stupid at all.

"Ding Mao, Guang entered Xie, and said: 'Since ancient times, the power of the prime minister has been strong, but now Tao has discussed the prime minister, and then the middle prime minister will no longer be able to do so. I would like to wait for the prime minister to take charge of his duties and then take office."'

This was very cleverly said. Because of the weight of the prime minister, now that Wang Tao has impeached the prime minister for not checking his attendance, he will be dismissed from office. How will the censor Zhongcheng play his role in the future? So I request that the prime minister return to work and check his attendance before he can perform his duties.

In fact, this gave the prime minister a chance to come back. There were indeed problems with the previous remonstrance, but because of this effort, the government failed. Even if it is to restore the system and dignity of the court, Mr. Han should come back and resume work, and clock in on time.

Give the emperor a step to step down. The prime minister can support the boat in his belly. The Han Xianggong Association agrees. This is considered a little soft for you. Let's forget about it and move on, right?

By the way, what is Tai Jian's job? It is used to check and balance the prime minister. Since the prime minister does not go to work, Tai Jian has no need to perform his duties! After the husband is reinstated, the officials will look at me.

By the way, I would also like to remind Zhao Xu that Wang Tao is not worth protecting...

Sima Guang's appointment was widely expected, but Zhongshu was the only one who insisted on the appointment of Bachelor Wang Tao and Hanlin.

What do you mean? He has caused such a big mess and still needs to be promoted? Wu Kui personally asked Zhao Xu for instructions and insisted on deposing Wang Tao Yuwai.

Of course Zhao Xu wouldn't do it. To put it bluntly, they are all my people and they just said things that I was embarrassed to say.

Now, I can't even keep a dog? No, I won't agree to release it outside.

So Wu Kui gave in: "If we don't let them go, let Wang Tao be the herdsman."

At least he saved some face and was not driven out of the capital, so Zhao Xu agreed.

However, as soon as Wu Kui left, Zhao Xu came to his senses, Damn, wasn't Wang Tao promoted to the post of Chief Minister of the Censor? He was demoted back!

Hurry up and send it directly to Zhongshu, and Wang Tao should still be regarded as a Hanlin bachelor.

Wu Kui immediately wrote a memorial: "In the past, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty was suspicious of his ministers and had a small group of followers. He denounced Lu Zhi and took Pei Yanling and others as his confidants. The world was called the secret master."

"Today Tao has taken advantage of the old grace and suppressed Duanliang. Like Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang did not take charge of the affairs of the class. This is because they have always been inherited and were not abolished by the two ministers."

"If internal criticism is carried out now, except for Tao Hanlin, the bachelor, it is because of his evil deeds that he has been promoted to a good one. Why should the world treat your majesty like the master?!"

"If Wang Tao is not deposed, Your Majesty cannot blame the internal and external ministers for spreading the four bodies!"

So "I seek to go away with illness".

What nonsense are you doing! I can’t serve you, so I won’t do it anymore!
