Chapter 64: The Emperor Is Still a First-Rank Officer?
Cheng Chu took the order and left, while Zhao Huan's frame was still on the outside to watch the fun.
Zhao Huan saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che very keenly. Their arms were shouting, and their spirited appearance reminded Zhao Huan of his youth.
If it weren't for Bai Shizhong, Liang Shicheng, Zhang Bangchang and others who ran to Jiangnan, Zhao Huan actually had no good way to Li Bangyan.
Now the power of Bianjing City can only be said to be equal.
But who made the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji restore the throne and the ministers in the court ran to the small court in Jiangnan. It directly made the strength of Zhao Huan, the new emperor's small circle, expand a lot.
A passionate person is actually useless. No matter how angry the people of Bianjing City are, they dare not climb over the low-level courtyard wall to kill Li Bangyan.
Because even though Liang Shicheng had already escaped, Li Bangyan's mansion was still surrounded by armored imperial guards in front of his mansion, and his spear was extremely sharp in his hand and aimed at the excited people of Bianjing, making them unable to move forward.
"Go and call those two people in long gowns to me." Zhao Huan said to Cai You.
Cai You stood beside the carriage, followed Zhao Huan's finger direction and saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.
Because the two of them were wearing silhouettes, which were made of white fine cloth, round neck and big sleeves, and horizontal silhouettes were placed on the bottom, and folds were accumulated around their waists, which were dressed by Tai students or county students, which was very different from the jackets of the people of the Song Dynasty.
When Chen Dong and Ouyang Che saw that it was Cai You, they were both stunned. It was not until they saw the royal carriage of the Song Dynasty and parked not far away that they realized that it was the emperor who was summoning them.
"See Your Majesty." Chen Dong and Ouyang Che came to Zhao Huan's car and bowed.
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "You two have nothing else to do, but if you have such activities in the future, you must report them to the Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture. Wait until the approval is made before you act."
Ouyang Che's face changed and his eyes widened, and Chen Dong grabbed Ouyang Che to prevent this strong man from doing anything excessive.
The reason why Zhang Dun, a minister who revives the country and maintains the country is now treated as a treacherous minister is that in addition to Zhao Ji's deliberate slander, he also controls the public's perception of it.
He was convicted for his words, and it was also because of Zhang Dun.
During the Yuanyou period, Zhang Dun asked Zhezong to issue an edict to investigate people who had lies in various places and judge the crime according to the law.
Zhang Dun established a reward quotation, and any informant will be rewarded, and the trend of informant will be flourishing.
There was a drunk and nonsense person who was drunk and talked nonsense. Zhezong issued an edict to relieve his death penalty, and Zhang Dun killed him according to the law, which led to the public's grievances.
No matter how many things were done, the people thought he was a treacherous minister, and Zhao Ji followed the flow and nailed Zhang Dun to the pillar of shame of the treacherous minister.
Now the new emperor also wants to do something wrong. Does Zhang Dun control the public's discussion?
Ouyang Che was disappointed.
Zhao Huan was too lazy to explain, and Chen Dong obviously understood what he meant.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and the imperial guards in the capital dispersed from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they followed the officials in a row, preparing to go in and search the house and arrest people.
Zhao Huan felt bored, so he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, took a car and prepared to return to the palace.
It’s interesting to watch a play of house searching. The family servants are greedy for wealth in the mansion, hiding them in a water tank or a secret room, or burying them underground.
I thought I could still take it out after the storm passed.
That's too much of a lieutenant in charge of raiding the house. Digging three feet of the ground will make the house clean.
As the car drove farther and farther away, the anger in Ouyang Che's eyes became more and more obvious, and he said angrily: "How can this make sense! Is Your Majesty protecting Li Bangyan or protecting the treacherous ministers? A nest of snakes and rats!"
Chen Dong looked around and pointed at Ouyang Che and said, "You, you said what you are good about, and you don't look at where the place is! You talk nonsense! Do you understand if you have ears in the wall?"
"How many Imperial City Secretary are there on this street? If your Majesty had not been kind and righteous and had no stingy with you, you would not have enough to cut off your life!"
Chen Dong said this on purpose, in fact, to Chazi. Or to the emperor behind Chazi.
"Think about it, who is the prefect of Kaifeng?" Chen Dong asked.
Kaifeng Prefecture? Are not Kaifeng Prefecture all clan members all named? They are not in charge of affairs, they are all Kaifeng Young Men, who are in charge of various affairs in Bianjing.
Wait... Ouyang Che finally understood the emperor's meaning.
The prefect of Kaifeng is a first-rank official. He is only a first-rank official in charge of the Privy Council or the Privy Council envoy. How can the parents of the government get into the first-rank official?
Because the prefect of Kaifeng was personally held by the official family!
Reporting to the Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture, naturally to the emperor!
Why was Zhao Huan the prefect of Kaifeng? Such an idle and unintentional official? This is because of a convention in the Song Dynasty. If the prince is appointed as the Eastern Palace and the prince also serves as the prefect of Kaifeng, it means that the prince is the crown prince.
If the crown prince is just the crown prince, not the prefect of Kaifeng, it means that the crown prince does not have the will of the emperor and wants to change the crown prince!
This system saves suspicion between the prince, emperor and ministers, and represents orthodoxy when the imperial power is transferred.
The donkey cart emperor Zhao Guangyi was the prefect of Kaifeng and the orthodox heir.
Even so, he still did something dirty like the sound of candle shadows and axes.
Zhao Huan, the prefect of Kaifeng, had not been a few days ago. This first-rank official was always served by the dead Zhao Kai. It was not until the day before Zhao Huan ascended the throne that Zhao Ji gave him the position of prefect of Kaifeng.
Ouyang Che is a commoner, how can he understand these twists and turns?
"I misunderstood Your Majesty's meaning. Your Majesty is unwilling to leave Bianjing City without his control!" Ouyang Che said with emotion.
Chen Dong shook his head again. Ouyang Che was so passionate, but his intestines were too straight. Loyalty was loyalty. The hero of Song Jiang and Liangshan who he told the story was a rebel army. He stood on the emperor's standpoint and refuted that Fang La's rebel army was a disaster.
The bend of my mind was slower.
Seeing that Ouyang Che still didn't understand why the emperor was acting like this, he had to say, "Your Majesty is not protecting corrupt officials, nor is your Majesty protecting treacherous ministers. On the contrary, Your Majesty is protecting the people and protecting us scholars with high spirits!"
Hum? Ouyang Che was stunned. Why is this policy that restricts his freedom of speech protecting himself?
Chen Dong saw the confusion in Ouyang Che's eyes and said, "Compared with Li Bangyan, who is your and my rank higher and lower?"
Ouyang Che hates this kind of speech, and this group of officials and students all have this tone.
He said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? You are a student of the eighth rank. Li Bangyan is the Zuo Cheng of Shangshu, a first-rank official! Compared with him, ants are shaking trees."
"Is that the weapon in the hands of the Imperial Guard, or is it the sword and axe in the hands of the Imperial Guard, who is the mortal body of the naked eye, who has an immortal golden body, and can resist it?" Chen Dong asked again.
"Of course, the Imperial Guard's sword and axe are sharp. Wait a minute, I seem to understand." Ouyang Che suddenly realized!
Chen Dong nodded and said, "We spontaneously gathered together to act, whether it is Kaifeng Prefecture or the city defense and injunction, we all have a lot of things to do. We are provoking trouble and gathering people to criticize the officials in the court. Which of them is enough for us ordinary people to drink a pot."
"But after the imperial court of Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial approval, the nature was very different. We were ordered by the emperor, and the Kaifeng Prefecture yamen runners could only open the way for us; the imperial guards could only hold the swords and axes; they could only watch and could not do anything. Do you think this Majesty is directed to us or to the treacherous ministers?"
"The people are in a weak position, and these treacherous ministers have many ways to deal with us, but if they do it according to the emperor's order, it will be very different. That's the reason."
"And do you think Li Bangyan was the one we both fought together?" Chen Dong said with some distress at Cheng Chu's figure.
Ouyang Che looked at Cheng Chu's figure and sighed. It was true that this time, this time Li Bangyan fell, and after all, it was the new emperor who seized the opportunity to deal with this treacherous minister.
Seeing this scene, Ouyang Che was indifferent, as if the things he did in the siege of the Jin soldiers were in vain.
Chen Dong disagreed and patted Ouyang Che on the shoulder and said, "Although what we do is insignificant, we do it. This is enough. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
Ouyang Che didn't understand this very complicated passage, but he still remembered it.
Zhao Huan returned to the palace with a small song, turned around and walked into the Imperial Hospital.
The reason why he was happy today was not that Li Bangyan was punished. If he saw too much about the house search, he would become numb.
He was happy that Shen Cong's wound had begun to heal.
With the support of modern nursing concepts, with the best care provided by the Song Dynasty, the wound on his shoulder has begun to heal.
There is no danger of life.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to see me again. I'm ashamed of accepting it." Shen Cong said with a tribute when he saw Zhao Huan's figure.
"No, no, no. Let me take a look at the wound. Well, there is no pustules, it's all new meat. Don't scratch it randomly to prevent secondary injuries. It will be cured in a while." Zhao Huan said looking at the wound.
Shen Cong's eyes were a little dark and said, "I'm afraid I can't use it for a long time."
"What's the matter? If you can't use your strength, just practice the left-hand knife! You can still be surprised and attack your unpredictable. Besides, the injury has completely healed, and the right hand may not be ruined. Don't listen to Hu Yuan's careless doctor, what does he know?" Zhao Huan expressed his thoughts.
He was very disappointed with Hu Yuan's treatment method.
