Sure enough, Zhao Qianru's guess was right, Chen Junqing's request to do this was indeed not entirely because of the matter of withholding military rations itself, but because he hoped to take this opportunity to strike hard at the party of Long Dayuan and Zeng Mao. Therefore, Fan Chengda must be strictly investigated and questioned. Two days later, five or six middle- and lower-level officials were involved, and although no one had clearly confessed the person behind the instructions, all kinds of signs and scriptures showed that Zeng Mao, who was the head of the household department, was by no means unable to escape his responsibility.

But just when Chen Junqing was about to make a big effort to continue digging deeper, the emperor suddenly issued an order to stop continuing the interrogation and close the case.

It turned out that Long Dayuan, Zeng Mao, Zhang Shuo and others were originally colluding with each other, and this time the money and grain were deducted by several people together, and the money and food obtained were divided equally among several people. Therefore, seeing that Chen Junqing took the opportunity to investigate to the end, several people were a little flustered, Long Dayuan first met with Zhao Dan, claiming that now that the imperial court has just settled down, it is really not appropriate to have a major turmoil, and if the trial continues, I don't know how many people will be implicated, so the interrogation will be stopped. At the same time, he gave a lot of gifts to Shi Hao and Li Dao, and asked them to maneuver for themselves.

Shi Hao and Li Daozhi didn't get any benefits from it, but they had a good relationship with Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo and their gang when they came to Pingsu, and they also used them as helpers in the DPRK and China. Therefore, Shi Hao immediately reconciled Long Dayuan's statement and strongly persuaded Zhao Dian to stop here. And Li Dao influenced Zhao Dian through his daughter Li Fengniang, and did not continue to investigate. In Zhao Dan's opinion, this is not a big deal, and when he saw that someone dissuaded him, he issued an order to end the case.

After Chen Junqing learned about it, he was naturally very dissatisfied, and argued with Long Dayuan and Shi Hao in the court. The two sides argued on their own grounds, and after arguing for a day, they only fought red-faced, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, even Zhao Dian was a little tired of it, and finally came forward to end the dispute. In the end, it was decided to stop the investigation. However, under Chen Junqing's strong insistence, Yang Xiaoming, Han Fei and other four people were beheaded, and Li Zhi and other eleven people were dismissed. All the money and food that had been embezzled were recovered and redistributed.

But what is surprising is that although all kinds of signs show that Zeng Mo is inseparable, but there is no clear evidence, and Long Dayuan and Shi Hao are strong and reasonable, and force to decompose for him, it is only from the head of the household department to the right of the head of the household, and the addition of a "right" before the official position is actually the meaning of acting or temporary, in fact, there is no change at all.

After the case was closed, Chen Junqing was naturally very dissatisfied, but the emperor had already issued an order, and he was helpless. Zhao Qianru hurriedly persuaded Yang Yan to leave Tianlin Mansion and leave these places as soon as possible. It's just that before leaving, Zhao Qianru went to find Zhao Yueru again, after Yang Yan left, once someone attacked Yang Yan, she was asked to decompose Yang Yan more in front of the emperor.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Yan left the next day, in the early dynasty, Lin Li, the squire of the military department, came out to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, the Qingyuan army has made Yang Yan now a concubine, according to the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the ministers of the clan are not allowed to lead the army, so the minister thought that Yang Yan should be changed to another post, and another person should be selected to serve as the Jiangnan East Road Ambassador." It's just right. ”

Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi and others naturally knew that Lin Li was Long Dayuan, Zeng Mo and the party, and now they began to fight back, just because there was no reason to attack Chen Junqing or Han Yanzhi and others for the time being, so they would take Yang Yan first. Moreover, Han Yanzhi had a very good impression of Yang Yan, so he came out and argued for Yang Yan: "Your Majesty, as early as the reign of the first emperor, Yang Yan was appointed to lead the army, and the reuse of Yang Yan was also the last order of the first emperor, how can you not respect it." ”

As soon as he saw Han Yanzhi speak, Zhang Shuo immediately came out of the queue and said: "The minister thinks that Han Shumi's words are wrong, and the first emperor's will should be respected, but the ancestral system is still determined by Emperor Taizu Taizong, and it cannot be violated. Fang is filial piety. ”

Liu Heng also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now that the Jin army is invading and is going to employ people, Yang Yan knows the military aircraft and is good at using soldiers. You can't throw it away. Didn't Emperor Taizu also lead the army with his horse Gao Huaide? As the so-called extraordinary times, nature cannot be treated with common sense. The first emperor was wise and virtuous, and he knew this earlier, so he took care of this life. Lord Zhang, can you say that Emperor Taizu was also inappropriate back then? ”

Zhang Shuo opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

At this time, the imperial envoy Wang Zhiwang suddenly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Yan's military power is too heavy now, and now the two vast lands only know that there is Yan but do not know that there is a son of heaven, and in the future, I am only afraid that the tail will be difficult to fall, and it should be cut immediately, so as not to cause trouble." I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

The previous dispute between several people was the issue of ancestral system and expediency, but Wang Zhiwang's words were very serious, almost accusing Yang Yan of having a tendency to rebel, and after he finished speaking, it immediately caused a discussion in the palace. Even Zhao Dan's face was a little unnatural.

Although Chen Junqing did not have a particularly good impression of Yang Yan, at this time, in the face of the aggressive momentum of Long Dayuan and Zeng Mao's party, he also tried his best to defend Yang Yan, so he also came out and said: "Imperial Envoy Wang, do you have any evidence for what you said?" If there is no evidence, just looking at the wind and speculating privately, wouldn't it be a false statement and slander the minister at will? ”

Wang Zhiwang also said confidently: "Chen Xiang, as a speech official, should check and correct mistakes, and dare not speak out." ”

Before Chen Junqing could speak, another imperial envoy, Shi Kui, came out and said: "'Hearing the wind and bombing people' is the responsibility of the official, why does Chen Xiang want to embarrass the king's imperial envoy." Could it be that Chen Xiang and Yang Yan have a private relationship. Without waiting for Chen Junqing to speak, he turned to Zhao Dian and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen accused Chen Junqing of colluding with Yang Yan, thinking that he was in the same party, and he was still fighting for personal gain, please make a decision for Your Majesty." ”

He directly pointed the finger at Chen Junqing this time, although he said that the imperial envoy had the right to directly impeach the prime minister, but it was never as direct as Shi Kui, which immediately caused a discussion among the ministers. Although Chen Junqing was annoyed, at this time it was equivalent to being impeached by the imperial envoy, and he couldn't attack, so he had to kneel on the ground and wait for the attack.

At this time, Wang Yingchen also came out of the queue and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Shi Kui has no evidence, wantonly speculation, and arbitrarily impeaching the prime minister, which is nonsense, and the minister thinks that Shi Kui should be punished." Wang Yingchen is also an imperial envoy, and he staged a good show of playing the imperial history, which made the court more lively. Immediately afterwards, the other ministers spoke one after another, you said that I was a private business, and I said that you were cheating, and your words were fierce, and you did not give in to each other, and suddenly there was a lot of noise in the court.
