Two hundred and twentieth chapters Qingtianwei
Zhang Dun came to the Censorate after political affairs.
The chief censor Huang Lu, the Minister of Justice Cai Jing, and the commander of the Imperial City Department Cai You, the three of them were already waiting.
Zhang Dun sat in the main seat, glanced at the three of them, and said lightly: "All cases in the past six months must be settled before the end of the Chaoxu period. They are all cases. Do you have any difficulties?"
Cai Jing and Cai You and his son sat upright without expression.
Huang Lu raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "My husband, if you only deal with the Censorate, there will be no problem. However, many cases involve criminal cases and need to be determined through marble. The Censorate has not been arrested. Moreover, it is difficult for the Censorate to convince the public when dealing with it."
Zhang Dun's always stern expression actually had a sense of ease. He did not speak and turned to Cai Jing, Cai You and his son.
Cai Jing thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem with the Ministry of Justice."
The Ministry of Justice now has no power to interrogate and can only interrogate, so the pressure is not great. Moreover, the people arrested by the Ministry of Justice are real criminal cases and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Cai You became even more calm and said decisively: "There is no problem with the Imperial City Department."
Although the Imperial City Department was included in the Political Affairs Hall, everyone knows that the real person in charge was the official in the palace. Therefore, even if the Imperial City Department was arrested wrongly, who would dare to do anything?
Zhang Dun said directly: "I will say hello to Dali Temple. You three departments must finish these things as soon as possible and get out of it. After the court break is over, your responsibilities must be shifted. The Imperial City Department will continue to supervise the court officials, including everyone inside and outside the capital, including this official, and Su Xianggong! The main responsibility of the Ministry of Justice is to fight corruption and corruption and to inspect the criminal prison. There is an important thing at the moment, which is to eliminate the administration of officials! The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel must act together to inspect corrupt officials and create a clean and efficient official pattern! The Censorate mainly deals with the new policies and new laws. The new policies and new laws must be monitored in all aspects. The specific tasks of the Government Affairs Hall will issue you specific details. You must perform them conscientiously, meticulously, and not slacken at all!..."
Huang Lu was Zhang Dun's confidant and had a long understanding of this matter. He immediately raised his hand and said, "The emperor will receive the order."
Cai Jing was more concerned about it. Zhang Dun was delegating power to the Ministry of Justice and at the same time he had greater responsibility. He was a reformist faction at the beginning, but later defected to Sima Guang, but was kicked out by the "old party" because of his "captivity" and wandered outside for seven years.
Has Zhang Dun lent such great power to him, has he hidden another purpose?
Although Cai Jing was worried, he did not move and raised his hand and said, "The emperor received the order."
"The officials received the order." Cai You didn't care. The Imperial City Department had too much power. As long as the palace officials said a word, he could send Zhang Dun to the prison of the Imperial City Department now.
Zhang Dun looked at the three of them, and suddenly his eyes became sharp and his voice was even more decisive, saying: "First, the Censorate should prepare ten routes to supervise the Censors to conduct a comprehensive investigation of various government affairs, officialdom, people's livelihood, economy, corruption and integrity, criminal prisons, etc. Only investigate, don't do too much. The Ten routes cross-check, record the situation clearly and report it. The Political Affairs Hall should have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the national situation, as a reference and basis for the implementation of the "new law"..."
The Censorate had done it once before, but that time, Zhang Dun took the opportunity to clean up the "old party" and sent them out of the capital. Now most of them have been dismissed and returned to the village without any official position. They can only use pens to criticize Zhang Dun.
This time, it was naturally a big difference.
Huang Lu immediately stood up, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The official is the one who takes the order!"
Zhang Dun looked calm and looked at Cai Jing, saying, "The Ministry of Justice has taken over the inspection department and must speed up the rectification of the inspection department. In the future implementation of the 'new law', the Inspection Department is very important. Kaifeng Prefecture will soon implement the 'new law'. The Ministry of Justice must do a good job and assume responsibility!"
Cai Jing was once a magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, so he couldn't understand what Zhang Dun meant.
During the implementation of the "New Law", there will inevitably be countless problems. To solve these problems, the Ministry of Justice will be the first to be affected!
Cai Jing's mean face slightly encouraged, and then raised his hand expressionlessly and said, "The official is the one who takes the order."
Zhang Dun looked at Cai You and was about to speak when suddenly someone outside rushed to the door, hesitating to come in, looking inside, looking anxiously.
Huang Lu frowned and turned around and shouted, "Don't you see Mr. Zhang here?"
This is a middle-aged man who looks like a civil servant, with an impatient expression and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Zhang Dun looked at the man and said indifferently: "Come in, just say it directly about Cai Que."
The civil servant was stunned. After coming in, he raised his hand to Zhang Dun and said in confusion: "Does Mr. Zhang understand?"
Zhang Dun looked at Huang Lu, Cai Jing, and Cai You's hesitant expression, took the teacup and said, "Cai Que submitted a report to me."
Everyone was puzzled. Cai Que had impeached him once or twice. Before they could react, Zhang Dun took a sip of tea and continued, "I died after I finished writing."
Huang Lu, Cai Jing and Cai You all changed their faces.
Huang Lu's eyes were full of shock, and then solemn.
Cai Que's identity is extraordinary. His death sentence can be said to be "recommendation by death", which is very different in weight!
Cai You looked unmoved and was curious. What would Zhang Dun do?
Cai Que's memorial will definitely blow up the government and the people, and Zhang Dun will inevitably be pushed to the forefront. Can he stop it?
Zhang Dun took all the expressions of the people, and his stern expressions became more and more relaxed.
But this made the people present even more shocked. What is this Mr. Zhang going to do?
"The Imperial City Department has to do more,"
Zhang Dun continued the topic just now and looked at Cai You and said, "I have already written to your Majesty to write to His Majesty. There should be news soon. If you want to lay it out, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
Cai You didn't care at first, but when he heard about changing his name, his expression was slightly solemn, and he sat more straighter, and said with a serious look: "Yes, the official will take the order!"
Zhang Dun's face was indifferent and said, "Let's talk about the ten-way supervisor of the Censorate..."
Huang Lu listened with a look of a sensual expression. The implementation of the "new law" is imminent, and they must respond with an unprecedented serious attitude.
At this time, the outside really exploded.
Teahouses, restaurants, brothels, and even streets and alleys, are all memorials by Cai Que’s “death advice” after dinner.
"Gong-gong Cai is admonishing him for death..." Someone was amazed.
"Yes, the new law is unpopular and will cause trouble to the world. Mr. Cai has suddenly woken up..." Someone nodded seriously.
"Hmph, Zhang Dun is the most treacherous slander in my Song Dynasty!"
"Grandpa Cai is Grandpa Yuanfeng. He advised him for his death. I don't believe in the court. The officials can still tolerate him Zhang Dun!"
"Shh, now the Imperial City Department is everywhere, be careful of your words!"
"I'm not afraid. There are so many people in the world who oppose the new law. Zhang Dun has the ability to arrest and kill them all!"
...
In a yard on Yu Street, many people came hurriedly, all of whom were excited and sneaky.
"Did you all know?" Someone stretched his head and looked excited.
"I know, I know. Before I come, Shangshu Hu was writing a memorial. He said he would take this opportunity to bring Zhang Dun down!"
"This is indeed a good opportunity, and you can't miss it!"
"What should we do? Do we need to write an impeachment memorial?"
There was a middle-aged man who seemed smart and whispered: "We don't need to write. The most important thing is to make the sounds louder. As long as the sounds are together, everyone will push them..."
"It's extreme, it's extreme. Let's get the momentum up first, so we don't have to charge..."
...
In a brothel, a group of people stretched their heads and got together.
"I want me to tell you that this memorial by Xianggong Cai is not enough, I have to add a fire!"
"How to add it? Zhang Dun is in power now, and Su Xianggong has to bow his head. What can we do with him?"
"Actually, it's simple. Isn't he going to implement the 'new law'? Then just tamper with the 'new law'."
"Speak quickly, what are you doing?"
"You listen carefully to me..."
...
Outside the palace, there were many voices coming one after another, and some people who came through the Yuanfeng period could no longer sit still.
Although Cai Que is a "new party" and has been a prime minister for many years, not to mention his disciples and old officials, just talking about his status is enough to attract people.
Inside the arched hall.
In just half an hour, Chen Qi went three or four times in person and delivered more than ten memorials, each of which had to be read by Zhao Xu himself.
Zhao Xu looked at each one, shook his head, put them all aside, and looked at Nan Tianyou who was standing in the hall with a dusty look on his face, saying, "Thank you for your hard work in the Nanqing family."
Nan Tianyou's face was tired, but he was also excited, and raised his hand and said, "I dare not take it, but I'm lucky that I will not be humiliating my fate."
Before the Xia people came to invade, Nan Tianyou was sent to Xingqing Mansion by Zhao Xu to arrange the intelligence system. It has been several months since he was sent.
Zhao Xu looked at the memorial in front of him, and saw that Nan Tianyou was really tired. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Nanqing's family. I will read the memorial first. Don't you report it now. I will summon you when I finish reading it. In addition, the Imperial City Department will be renamed in the Political Affairs Hall, and you will also want a name here."
