Chapter 570: Su Shi was impeached

After entering the official career, official travel is the norm. Officials come and go, and come and go. In the hearts of the people, only Bianjing City will always be the Bianjing City.

As soon as Su You returned to Zhengzhou, a major incident occurred in the DPRK.

Zhang Ze, the official in charge of the affairs, handed a memorial to Li Ping, the envoy of the general family. Li Ping was shocked when he saw it, and secretly reported the memorial to Zhao Xu.

In the letter, he denounced the new law and the government. His words were extremely outrageous and his words were extremely disrespectful. He described Zhao Xu as an ignorant puppet who could be manipulated by others.

The signature of the memorial turned out to be Sima Guang!

Zhao Xu was so angry that his hands and feet were cold and he wanted to deal with this stubborn donkey.

Wang Anshi disagreed, thinking that Sima Jun was definitely not like this, and suggested that Zhao Xu directly call Sima Guang for questioning.

After Sima Guang arrived, he opened the memorandum and smiled when he read it, and returned it respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you think such rebellious writing could come from a minister?"

Only then did Zhao Xu come to his senses, thinking about it, and then ordered a supervisor to investigate strictly.

The case was soon solved. Shen Weigong, the younger brother of the imperial concubine Shen and the grandson of the late prime minister Shen Lun, had reached out to Song Shenzong as a foreign relative to ask for an official position and money, but failed to do so.

From then on, Shen Weigong hated Zhao Xu and often complained to his diners and Jinshi Sun Di. In addition to the arrangements he heard from hearsay, he also had some lies of his own.

The most serious one was that the harem was pregnant at that time, and Shen Weigong cursed that Zhao Xu's son would definitely not live long after he was born.

In order to cater to his master, Sun Di violently criticized the current affairs every time he saw Shen Weigong, and even pointed at Zhao Xu and scolded him.

Later, Sun Di secretly forged Sima Guang's memorials and gave them to Shen Weigong. Shen Weigong treated Sun Di's forged works as treasures and gave them to others to read.

When the truth came to light, Sun Di was beheaded and Shen Weigong was demoted.

Who said that the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats?!

In fact, is the case really that simple? Su You doesn't really believe it.

But after experiencing this incident, Sima Guang packed his bags, took the bookstore with him, and left the capital resolutely.

In April, the disbursement of young crop loans in various places was completed. This year has been going well and it looks like it will be a good year.

Su You presented a series of new books to Zhao Xu, including a hardcover version of "On Finance". Along with the book, there was a secret memorial containing many suggestions for improvements to the new law.

After Zhao Xu carefully read the secret memorial presented by Su You, he felt that it made some sense, but he had to take care of Wang Anshi's emotions, and finally issued an order--as a charitable act on the same day, Shaanxi and Hebei would be exempted from rent and tax exemptions. Go to Qingmiao Loan for fourth- and fifth-class households.

At the same time, it was ordered that no green seedling law could be implemented in border states.

As soon as the decree came, the people in places like Weizhou and Xiongzhou were all grateful and their voices filled with joy.

The New Deal has finally entered a brief period of stability, and everything seems to be going well.

Before Tongjin Yintai Si Fanzhen resigned, he recommended Su Shi to Zhao Xu as an admonisher.

Wang Anshi would never allow Su Shi to come to Taiwan to remonstrate with him. His in-laws, Xie Jingwen, the minister of the imperial censor, immediately filed a petition to impeach Su Shi's brother, Ding You, when he returned to Shu a few years ago, for using a royal boat specially approved by the emperor to carry goods and sell illicit salt!

He also said that Su You must know the truth and asked Zhao Xu to summon Su You for questioning.

Su Shi immediately stayed at home to await his punishment. Su You was called in by Zhao Xu and explained the prescribed issues at the prescribed time and place.

After Su You heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. The New Party couldn't hide two ounces of sesame oil in its belly. It just barely managed to sit still and immediately turned to suppress the reformists who could have been a help. Finally, it took action on him!

But the person who couldn't hide the two ounces of sesame oil was more likely to be Zhao Xu. This was definitely a secret report of his own, and it had already been known to the New Party!

The big and small Sus are selling private salt! Xie Jingwen is afraid that if he sees Su Shi eating at the house of his friends and gangsters every day, and eating in the canteen every day without hiring any servants, Xie Jingwen doesn’t know how rich the Su family is!

Xiao Su Ying married Bai Fumei and was busy having children every day without talking about him. The inheritance that Mrs. Guangcheng left to Su Shi in Sitong Company was a huge sum of money.

But when others take action, you have to take action on your own.

The place of inquiry was at the Justice Department. Su You smiled at Lu Huiqing when he entered the hall: "Ji Fu, does this mean that I am included in the list of prisoners for the same crime?"

Su You had always addressed court officials who were older than him by title, and the older ones would directly address him as Duke to show respect. Now he addressed Lu Huiqing, who was much older than him, by addressing him by name, which meant quite clearly.

Just dissatisfied!

Lu Huiqing smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Xie Jingwen said sharply: "Everyone in the hall, please report your resume first!"

Su You was a little surprised: "Really want to retaliate? It's a bit long..."

Xie Jingwen was stunned: "This is the rule!"

Su You tilted his head and looked at him: "Who are you?"

Xie Jingwen said proudly: "Xie Jingwen, who serves as the censor and knows all the miscellaneous things! His official position is humble, but he still spares no effort to correct evildoers!"

Su You ignored him directly: "Lu Jianzheng, is there such a rule?"

As long as Lu Huiqing dared to say so, Su You turned around and wanted to impeach him.

Lu Huiqing had no choice but to take the gavel from Xie Jingwen's hand.

At first, I wanted to bully young Su You, and use my power to intimidate him first, but now I realized that this boy was the one who remained calm when he was surrounded by Liang Zuo for more than ten days in Weizhou, and finally burned tens of thousands of people with fire.

A smile appeared on his face: "Mingrun, I have no choice but to ask questions. Let's just go through the formalities. No matter what brothers Zizhan and Ziyou are, if you want to explain that Run is involved, first of all, I don't believe it."

Su You also changed his smile: "This is reasonable. I don't know what the official asked the prosecutor to ask."

Lu Huiqing said: "You are the uncle of the Su brothers, and you were also in Meishan at that time..."

Su You stopped him immediately: "Otherwise, I'm afraid what Jianzheng knew was wrong. I was in Yizhou and Meishan at that time, but that was because I was sent by a transport envoy along the border. Later, when my brother-in-law passed away, I took leave to attend the funeral.

There isn’t much time in total.”

Watertight.

Lu Huiqing nodded: "I see, it seems that the people below didn't understand it. So when the two brothers arrived at Meishan, was there any cargo of illicit salt on the ship?"

Su You replied: "This is not clear. When I arrived at Meishan again, the second son had not yet arrived. After my brother returned to the mountain, I went there again. That time, the second son was already guarding the hut. I didn't have the boat at all.

See you."

Still watertight.

Xie Jingwen said angrily: "Flattery, as their elder, how can you not know what they are doing?!"

Su You calmly replied: "Of course I don't know. Otherwise, a censor who knows miscellaneous matters, who is neither a subordinate of the law nor has any orders, can be so rude and scold the superior in accordance with the method of asking questions and sitting on trial, and he must participate in politics."

Do you know that too?"

Lu Huiqing quickly raised her hand to stop, turned to Xie Jingwen and said: "What Mingrun said is the law of the imperial court. Xie Yushi, please stand up and stand aside."

Xie Jingwen was extremely depressed, but Su Youpan caught Wang Anshi and he couldn't help but stand up.

Lu Huiqing waited for Xie Jingwen to retreat to the hall, then said to Su You: "Mingrun misunderstood. While waiting for Mingrun to arrive, we were a little bored, so we sat together and chatted. I just forgot the rules, please forgive me."

Su You smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let's continue then."

The political strategist Wang Jiefu said was like the Su family. Compared with us, you, Xie Jingwen, are still a few steps behind!

Lu Huiqing asked: "Then do you think it is possible for the two brothers to be private traders? You must know that helping businessmen evade taxes and extract profits is also a bad habit in today's officialdom. If there is, you might as well say it, and if you think about it, you will just laugh it off.

.”

"Mingrun, you must know that smuggling is a small matter, but bullying the emperor is a big deal."

There were traps everywhere, and Su You couldn't help but laugh: "What Jianzheng said is indeed a major drawback in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty today."

He raised his hand, pointed his sword at the deer on the wall behind Lu Huiqing, and then said to Lu Huiqing: "Jianzheng, do you know how to distinguish a deer from a deer?"

Just then, a slight sound was heard from behind the screen.

Su You said to the haechi on the screen: "Deer and deer are very similar, but deer has a scent, but deer does not. Even if you can't tell the difference with your eyes, don't you have a nose?"

"I can only say that the person who created this rumor is as stupid as a deer, and it is always due to lack of practical experience!"

"It is certainly a common phenomenon in the Song Dynasty today to use the status of an official to carry merchants, transport goods for private salt, and seek tax-free benefits."

"But I just want to ask, Meishan is a salt production area, and the quality of its salt is the best in the world. How stupid must the merchants Zizhanzi was to go from Bianjing to Meishan?

Salt? What are you doing here? Are you selling it to a local salt merchant?"

"Spreading rumors is also a skill. Can you please be more serious? How can such a rumor be deceived by a three-year-old child? It will definitely kill the political enemy!"
