Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Do you have anything else to do with the yamen?" ”

At this time, a middle-aged official stood up and bowed and saluted: "King Qiyu, the minister supervised the imperial history Liu Mingjian impeached Jing Zhaoyin and the secretary and supervisor Wang Hong did nothing during his tenure as Jing Zhaoyin, which caused a serious decline in the public security situation in the two counties of the capital and Chang'an, and the living standards of the people were much worse than before, and because of his improper measures, the Lingwu army mutinied!" Weichen believes that Wang Hong is a military general, and he is not good at governing the local area at all, and there are serious problems in his administrative ability, so he should be removed from his official position as Jing Zhaoyin, and another person should be selected as a meritorious, and he should be held accountable for the consequences caused by his negligence! ”

As soon as Liu Mingjian's impeachment came out, the court was suddenly silent, not that the courtiers did not react, but everyone raised their hearts to their throats, because this is the first impeachment case since Zhao Ziliang took office, and now it is the first step for Zhao Ziliang to prepare to rectify the rule of officials, it is conceivable how powerful this impeachment case is, and more courtiers are worried that this impeachment case will involve a large number of people. Once someone wants to expand this case, I am afraid it will be an earthquake for the entire imperial court!

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Liu Mingjian, Jing Zhaoyin is an important minister of the imperial court, and he controls the net worth and lives of tens of millions of people in the capital Chang'an, and even the daily eating and drinking of the emperor and the king are controlled by Jing Zhaoyin, so Jing Zhaoyin's position is very important, if you impeach casually but there is no actual evidence, it is tantamount to framing, framing the important ministers of the court, this is the crime of killing the head, do you understand?" ”

Liu Mingjian said: "Weichen understands! Wechen first gave evidence of the living conditions of the people in the two counties of Chang'an, Wechen took people to follow up in Chang'an City, and counted the living conditions of 3,000 households, before Wang Hong became Jing Zhaoyin, the annual per capita income of these 3,000 households was 88 yuan, and during the three years that Wang Hong was in office as Jing Zhaoyin, the per capita income of these 3,000 households in the first year was 79 guan, the second year was 72 guan, and the per capita income so far this year was 50 guan, and today is the first day of November, and there are only two months before the end of the year. It is impossible for the per capita income to exceed 72 yuan, so it can be seen that after Wang Hong became Jing Zhaoyin, the living standards of the people entering the market have been declining year by year, and the landslide is very strong! ”

In the year before Wang Hong took office, there were 89 criminal cases, 201 public security cases, and 321 civil cases. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the first year of Wang Hong's tenure, there were 112 criminal cases, 282 public security cases, and 377 civil cases; In the following year, there were 281 criminal cases, 359 public security cases, and 432 civil cases. So far this year, there have been 293 criminal cases, 361 public security cases, and 444 civil cases. These figures are the statistical results of Jingzhao Shaoyin's Mansion, not made up by Wei Chen, if the king and your colleagues don't believe it, you can send someone to check it! ”

Liu Mingjian said that he has a nose and an eye, even if Zhao Ziliang wants to protect it, it is impossible, and he doesn't want to protect it at all, because Jing Zhaoyin really has to be replaced, even if he is not replaced by his own people, he must be replaced by a non-faction official, and he must also have talent, otherwise the situation in Chang'an will only get worse and worse!

Zhao Ziliang immediately said to the eunuch on duty: "Come on, send someone to Shaoyin's Mansion to investigate and see if the data cited by Liu Mingjian is true, this king hopes to see the relevant statistical records in the shortest possible time!" ”

"Yes!" The eunuch on duty immediately agreed and sent three eunuchs to Shaoyin's mansion.

Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Mingjian: "You go on! ”

"Yes, King!" Liu Mingjian was relieved and continued: "According to the information that Weichen has learned, at that time, the Lingwu army went to Xiangyang to quell the rebellion, and passed through Chang'an to rest for two days, and the emperor sent Wang Hong, who was then Jing Zhaoyin, to be responsible for preparing meals for the army, but the meals for two consecutive days were either mixed with a lot of sand, or rancid, not to mention what would happen if people ate it, even if they fed the livestock, the animals did not eat, so the Lingwu army rebelled!" According to Weichen's knowledge, the expenses used to labor the army at that time were transferred from the state treasury, not borne by Jingzhao Mansion, and the money allocated was enough for five thousand Lingwu troops to eat for two days, but he used mixed sand and gluttony to entertain the counterinsurgency army, which shows that Wang Hong not only had the crime of causing the Lingwu army to rebel due to improper measures, but also suspected of embezzling the money of the Mo court. ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Hong, whose face was pale, and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you have to say?" ”

Wang Hong stood up and saluted: "The king, the minister is wronged!" The emperor did hand over the task of the labor army to the minister, but the minister was not the actual executor, and the money transferred by the court from the treasury never passed through the hands of the minister, and the minister was only responsible for assigning the task and the officials below to carry it out! ”

Liu Mingjian shouted: "Wang Hong, do you think you can push two six five in this way?" If the officials below did not have your command and nod, they would dare to give the soldiers of the army food with sand and rancid rice? Do you regard the king and the Manchu dynasty as fools? ”

Zhao Ziliang knocked on the desk: "Liu Mingjian, don't be impatient!" After all, Lord Wang is Jing Zhaoyin, an important minister of the imperial court, if you indiscriminately convict the important ministers of the imperial court without real evidence, this is not a reflection of your loyalty, but child's play! The important ministers of the court are all people who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, and if the important ministers of the court are hastily convicted, this is irresponsible to the Datang Dynasty and unfair to the parties! ”

Liu Mingjian hurriedly said: "Yes, what the king said is very true!" ”

After speaking, Liu Mingjian asked Wang Hong: "Lord Wang, I don't know who you handed over this matter to?" ”

Wang Hongben didn't answer this question, after all, his official rank was much higher than Liu Mingjian's, but now he was in the court, and all the ministers of the court were watching, and this matter was directly related to him.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang said: "Lord Wang, this case is related to you, you must be questioned and give a clear and positive answer, and the answer must also be true, because this matter can be found out casually, if you expect to hide it from the king and the court, the consequences are not something you can bear." Wait for the court to investigate clearly, if it really has nothing to do with you, this king will return you justice! ”

Wang Hong's face was cloudy, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It is Shao Yin Weizhen and Chang'an Wei Xue Cui who are in charge!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Come on, go and pass on Wei Zhen and Xue Cui, this case is not difficult to investigate, as long as Wei Zhen and Xue Cui are passed over and asked!" ”

"Yes, King!"

During the summons, Zhao Ziliang and the courtiers couldn't wait all the time, and at this time, a minister stood up and saluted: "King, the minister's Lingnan Festival makes Li Mian have something to play!" ”

"Accurate!"

Li Mian said: "The king, the minister has returned to Beijing to report for more than three months, during which due to rebellion and some other things, Wechen has been stranded in Beijing, Wechen is worried that he will not be in office for a long time, and there will be changes in Lingnan, so if the king and the court have nothing else to do to need Wechen, please allow Wechen to return to Lingnan!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Oh, Lord Li, don't worry, your resume has a detailed understanding of this king, you are a clan, you have made great achievements as an official over the years, and you have made great contributions to the court, your colleagues have a high evaluation of you, and the people in the places where you have served are very supportive of you, for officials like you, the court should be reused!" You don't want to go back to Lingnan, for your arrangement, this king has another appointment, you can stay at home in Chang'an with peace of mind, and this king will find time to talk to you! ”

"Yes! Weichen obeys the dispatch of the imperial court! Li Mian gave up his hand and retreated to his original position.

The ministers couldn't figure out how Zhao Ziliang left Li Mian in the capital and said that he had another appointment. Li Mian is an official without party or faction, and because of his upright personality and the fact that he is a clan, the three factions do not dare to woo him casually. Zhao Ziliang left Li Mian in Chang'an, but he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

The eunuch who went to check the statistics soon came back and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "The king, the minions and others have brought back the relevant files, please take a look at the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Yuan Zai: "Lord Yuan, you open it and take a look, and verify whether the data recorded above can match what Liu Mingjian said!" ”

"What's the matter, this kind of thing is actually done by Lao Tzu, and it is clear that he wants Lao Tzu to work against the prince's party!" Yuan Zai complained in his heart, but he still had to take the file and open it.

"Regent, what Liu Mingjian said is exactly the same as what is recorded in the dossier!" Yuan Zai said truthfully to Zhao Ziliang, this kind of thing can't lie to your face, you can only tell the truth.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Hong: "Lord Wang, you have been in charge of Jingzhao Yin for three years, and you have governed Jingzhao Mansion like this, it seems that you really shouldn't stay in this position, otherwise the people of Chang'an will only get more and more bitter, don't even have a problem with the emperor and this king when they eat, then it will become a joke of the Tang Dynasty, what do you say?" ”

Wang Hong gritted his teeth and bowed: "King, the minister is not effective in governing Jingzhao Mansion, and his talent is limited, please resign from the post of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "It seems that you are still a little self-aware. You stand aside for the time being, and after Wei Zhen and Xue Cui arrive, let's talk about your questions again!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the place where the world is paying attention, and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is an extremely important official position, which must be held by a person with outstanding talent and moral character. ”

The ministers who are qualified to recommend have come forward one after another, this is not the time to be modest, the division of power in the imperial court has long been patterned, but the arrival of Zhao Ziliang completely broke the original political pattern, and in order to obtain more political resources, all factions had to go into battle shirtless.
