Forty-two Golden Palace Deliberations (II)

At this time, Zhao Chen said again: "Yang Qing, come on." "Ideas Chinese Network Debut" <]"

Only then did Yang Yan calmly say: "Back to Your Majesty, this civil uprising is not a new law that harms the people, but someone deliberately inciting the people to make trouble in order to obstruct the implementation of the new law." ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately had another discussion, Wang Huai turned his head to look at Yang Yan, and said sharply: "Lord Yang, above the Golden Palace, how can you be honest." Then he immediately turned to Zhao Chen and said, "The emperor is ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Zhao Chen and said, "Enough, don't say it yet, whether it's true or not, you'll know later." As he spoke, he glanced at the deacon's chamberlain on the side.

The chamberlain immediately understood, pulled the duck gong's throat, and shouted: "Xuanzhi Ningxiang County Affairs Zheng Wenyi and Zhixiang Township County Affairs Yuan Kui go to the palace." ”

As soon as they heard the names of these two people, Wang Huai, Wei Qi, and Sun Tao's faces changed greatly, and even Liang Kejia and Hong Shi, who were standing in the train, couldn't help but tremble a little, like pins and needles. Since it was Hong Shi, his face turned pale.

Not long after, the two Qipin Zhixian counties each wore their own official uniforms, and they were outside the main hall first, seeing Zhao Chen. Then he walked into the hall and fell on his knees.

Zhao Chen said: "Zheng Wenyi, Yuan Kui, what is the reason for the civil change in the county under the rule of the two of you? ”

Zheng Wenyi knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the civil rebellion in Ningxiang County under the rule of Weichen was because of the actions of Sun Zhixing, the huge rich man in this county, because the imperial court implemented the meridian law, cleared the land, and verified the hijacking of households, Sun Zhixing escaped the hidden land and property of the family and was found out by the imperial court, so he instigated the tenants in Zhuangzhong to make trouble and besieged the county government, hoping to obstruct the implementation of the new law. Your Majesty, please check it out. ”

Yuan Kui also played: "Your Majesty, the civil rebellion in Xiangxiang County under the rule of Weichen was because of the county's giant rich Lin Changfu, and the reason is the same as the reason for Sun Zhixing played by Zheng Zhixian. Your Majesty, please check it out. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, and asked again: "Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu are just a wealthy family in the township, how can they have such courage to incite tenants to gather people to make trouble and besiege the county government?" ”

Zheng Wenyi said: "Back to Your Majesty, Sun Zhixing is still the cousin of Sun Tao, the governor of Tanzhou. ”

Yuan Kui also said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lin Changfu is the nephew of Sun Tao, the governor of Tanzhou. ”

The voice of the ministers once again sounded in the main hall, Wang Huai, Wei Qi, and Sun Tao knelt on the ground, their bodies began to tremble, and Sun Tao's face was as if he was dead. And Liang Kejia and Hong Shi, who were standing in the train, and several other ministers who opposed the new law the most, also turned very ugly at this time, and Hong Shi's forehead began to sweat.

Zhao Chen said lightly: "Sun Tao, is what the two of them said the truth?" ”

Sun Tao's whole body trembled, he suddenly knelt forward and climbed forward, and hissed: "Your Majesty, the micro-minister is wronged, the minister's cousin and nephew-in-law are all law-abiding good citizens, and they have not concealed the land of the imperial court at all, let alone incite the tenants to make trouble, this is all Zheng Wenyi and Yuan Kui framed the micro-minister." And ......" He raised his head suddenly, saw Yang Yan beside him, and immediately pointed at Yang Yan and said, "It must have been instructed by Yang Yan, they all colluded to frame Weichen together." Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate! As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again.

Zhao Chen said again: "Yang Yan, Zheng Wenyi, Yuan Kui, Sun Tao said that the three of you colluded and deliberately framed him. Is there any evidence for what you just said? ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "If the ministers have no evidence, how dare they falsely accuse the ministers of the court in this golden palace?" ”

Zheng Wenyi said: "Back to the emperor, the minister has already found out that Sun Zhixing's family now has more than 9,800 acres of hidden land, and 149 households are hijacked. Now the account books of his house are proof, and there are also the bookkeepers in him, and the twelve tenants of his family who participated in the siege of the county government, and the ministers have also brought them to Jiankang. It can be used as a witness. ”

Yuan Kui also said: "Back to the emperor, the minister has also found out that Lin Changfu's family now has more than 11,400 acres of hidden land, and 189 households are hijacked. Physical witnesses and witnesses, and the ministers also brought them to Jiankang. ”

At this time, Yang Yancai said: "Your Majesty, the human and physical witnesses are all arranged in the army, and they can be presented in court at any time." ”

When Sun Tao heard this, he knew that he could no longer deny it, so he couldn't help but weaken and fell on the Golden Palace. And Wang Huai and Wei Qi are not much better than him. However, a few people were a little strange in their hearts, for a period of time, several people had been staring at Yang Yan closely, no matter what Yang Yan investigated, they would never leave an inch when they went there, desperately creating obstacles to Yang Yan's investigation. And I didn't see Yang Yan find out anything, how could he reveal all their secrets now?

In fact, Yang Yan was not surprised by the wave of opposition to the new law, because the local powerful forces of Lianghuai, Liangzhejiang, and Liangjiang were almost swept away when the Jin army invaded the south, and the new forces had not yet been formed, so when the new law was tried out, the resistance encountered was much smaller. After the beginning of the year, the imperial court continued to implement the new law in Lianghu, Liangguang, and Fujian, and Liangguang suffered from the looting of the Manichaean rebellion, so there would be no major resistance, and Fujian Road was located in a remote area, and there was not much trouble.

Only the Lianghu area, which was originally a place with a large population and a large economy, was firmly rooted in the local powerful forces, and was not occupied when the Jin army invaded the south, and the wealthy families were not hit hard. Moreover, the imperial court temporarily moved to Tanzhou, and many officials brought with it also bought land and real estate in the local area, which was even more intertwined with the local powerful forces. Therefore, the implementation of the new law on the Lianghu Road will inevitably meet with strong opposition from the powerful forces in the localities, and at the same time, it will also involve the actual interests of many officials in the DPRK and China, and they will inevitably do everything possible to obstruct the implementation of the new law.

After learning of the civil uprising in Tanzhou, Yang Yan and Zhao Qianru immediately judged that the cause of the civil uprising would never be the so-called new law harming the people, but it was very likely that someone was secretly plundering, and the intention was to use the civil rebellion to exert pressure on the imperial court to obstruct the new law. However, it is by no means easy to find out the truth in the control of local forces on Hunan Road.

Therefore, Yang Yan came up with a way, ostensibly Zhao Chen wanted to appoint Yang Yan to Hunan to investigate the cause of the civil uprising, which immediately attracted the attention of the ministers who opposed the new law. After arriving at Hunan Road, Wang Huai immediately communicated with Wei Qi, Sun Tao and others, desperately covering up and preventing Yang Yan from finding out the truth.

But they didn't expect that Yang Yan was actually a cover this time, and at the same time, the imperial court had already sent someone from the Ministry of Affairs to investigate the truth of the matter. Just when Wang Huai, Wei Qi, Sun Tao and others were all focusing on Yang Yan, they were methodically finding out the truth in secret.

In the more than a year since the establishment of the staff department, the department has been very well staffed, and has also made great efforts to find out the truth. In fact, it is not difficult to find out the truth, but the real difficulty is to find human and physical evidence. Therefore, it has only dragged on for more than a month.

In this regard, Zhou Xin, the director of the staff department, was personally in charge of this task, starting with Zheng Wenyi and Yuan Kui, the magistrates of the two counties. It just so happened that these two people were also very angry, because it was a matter in their own county, even if the matter calmed down in the future, their career would be greatly affected, on the contrary, this was an opportunity, if they could help Yang Yan get Wei Qi, Sun Tao and others, it would be a good time to be promoted, so after weighing the pros and cons, and after some negotiation and guarantee, the two not only told the truth they knew, but also were willing to go to Beijing to testify.

After Zhou Xin learned about it, he was very happy, but in order not to startle the snake, he asked the two of them to pretend to be sick at the same time, pretending not to cooperate with Yang Yan's investigation. Then he sent personnel to infiltrate the homes of Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, collecting evidence while looking for tenants who could testify. At the same time, he sent someone to pretend to be the family of Mr. Ledger, coaxed them into saying that there was something in their family, and deceived the two Ledger Gentlemen.

So far, all the human and material evidence has been collected, just to prevent Wei Qi, Sun Tao, Wang Huai and others from becoming suspicious, so they did not arrest Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, but kept the two families under close surveillance. Then Zhao Chen issued an order, Zhao Yang Yan and others, together with Wei Qi and Sun Tao, to return to Beijing and ask the palace.

Zhao Chen spoke again and said sharply: "This civil uprising is clearly deliberately instigated by someone in order to escape and conceal the land and hijack the households, and obstruct the implementation of the new law. Wei Qi and Sun Tao, the two of you, as the envoy of Jinghu South Road and the governor of Tanzhou, actually didn't know anything, and they also wrote to the imperial court, saying that it was because of the new law that harmed the people that caused the people's uprising, and Wang Huai, I ordered you to go to Tanzhou with Yang Yan to find out the truth, is this how you found out! ”

The three of them fell to their knees in fright, their bodies like chaff, and they couldn't say a word. Although he did not directly testify against Sun Tao in the Golden Palace just now, the other ministers of civil and military affairs saw this situation and understood that Sun Tao was definitely the direct instigator behind Sun Zhixing and Lin Changfu, Wang Huai and Wei Qi, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of the way, and I am afraid that other ministers will be involved in the future. Now just look at the emperor if the verdict is made.

At this time, Chen Junqing came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this case is very important, and the main hall is not a place for trial, so it should be handed over to the Yamen of Yousi, so that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple can be jointly tried. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, and Chen Junqing was not wrong when he said it, so he said: "Okay, just follow the prime minister's performance." However, regardless of whether Wang Huai, Wei Qi, and Sun Tao were implicated in this matter or not, they are now dismissed from their official posts for negligence, and they are now exempted from their official posts and are subject to examination by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. In addition, the implementation of the new law on Jinghu South Road cannot be delayed, and the Ministry of Officials will redraft candidates to serve as the envoy of Jinghu South Road, and then submit it to the Zhongshu for deliberation. Where is the Shangshu Shi Shi of the Criminal Department and Chen Liangyou of Dali Temple. ”

Shi Shidian and Chen Liangyou had already seen everything in the hall in the train just now, and when they heard the emperor call him, they immediately came out of the queue and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Chen said: "Then all the evidence and material evidence in this case will be handed over to the two secretaries for trial." Secretaries should judge impartially and without mistakes. ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "Ministers' honor." ”
