The sky was already shining with golden light, and the sun was moving in the darkness, and it was about to dawn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Song Zhen squeezed into the crowd and looked inside. A person who looked like an outsider next to him glanced at Song Zhen and said to him: "Since you are wearing an official robe, just go in, what are you squeezing with our people!" ”

Song Zhen bowed his hand and saluted: "Don't worry, old man, I just happened to pass by, come over to take a look, there are important things to do." Squeeze the good or bad and leave right away. ”

The man looked polite to Song Zhen, but he turned his head and ignored him anymore.

After looking at it twice, Song Zhen asked again: "Uncle, by asking, why are there so many people here early in the morning?" ”

The officer looked Song Zhen up and down, and felt that he had a kind face, so he said, "I came late, and I only listened to a rough idea." As soon as I say it, you will listen to it. ”

"Please advise my father-in-law, and listen to me."

The staff member nodded: "I heard that yesterday there was a reckless man from Wutai Mountain, who said that he had discovered that the party envoys had investigated the geography of the frontier and drew graphics. Isn't this just fine-grained? The reckless man reported to the local official, and he didn't want the local county order to only believe the words of the party envoys, so he treated him as a diao min and beat him up. The reckless man was not convinced, and begged all the way to the capital, saying that he wanted to beat the drum to sue the magistrate. I didn't want to go to the sour jujube gate, but I was stopped by the prison officer. ”

Song Zhen saw that the officer was silent, and hurriedly said: "That prison official is so rude!" When the people came to Beijing to beat the drums, how could he stop them? The ancestral legal system, but there is no such rule! ”

The staff member nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "This official still understands things!" If you don't say it, the officials protect each other, and the prison officer was only afraid that he had the intention of protecting the county, so he stopped the person. It just so happened that there was a person in the Imperial City Division who was in the Suzao Gate, so the prison officer handed over the person to the Imperial City Division and brought him here. ”

Song Zhen asked, "Why did you bring it here?" Didn't you take it to the Imperial City Division? ”

"Because that Liu Tizhi is the companion of Taiwei Yang of the Imperial City Division, and Taiwei Yang has a residence here......"

Seeing that Song Zhen was knowledgeable and interesting, the officer spat and told the matter again, and did not forget to add fuel and vinegar. How Yang Jingzong is a scoundrel, Qiao Datou is a hero, at the critical moment, the Privy Council Li Xianggong and Yongning Hou descended from the sky like divine soldiers, pulling human lives back from the critical juncture.

Song Zhen nodded again and again, listened to the words, and bowed his hand to the outside of the staff: "Thank you, old man, for saying that I still have urgent matters, so I will leave." If there is a fate in the future, please drink alcohol. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Song Zhen went out of the city yesterday, and today he took leave and did not go to the morning court, and just came back from outside the city.

The usual early court is not strictly controlled, and only on the fifth day of the big life, the court officials of all sizes are required to arrive. Ordinary petty officials are not required to go to work every day, only Xu Ping's important ministers must be there every day. Although Song Zhen knew the same as the Imperial Academy, there was no regular work in the Imperial Court at this time, so it was still easy to ask for leave.

He had returned from outside the city, and not long after he entered the city, he heard someone on the road talking about Sweetwater Lane. What does the Counsellor do? What he is best at is chasing the wind and catching shadows, and hearing about things. Now that there is first-hand information in front of him, how can Song Zhen let it go? I asked all the way, and I found this place all the way.

The Imperial Court is not an imperial observatory, and he does not have the authority and responsibility of picketing officials, so he is not qualified to ask the officials at the scene what happened. But he has his own way, and he has asked many people just now to basically figure things out. There was no longer any delay here, and he hurried back to the courtyard to brew a great storm.

Looking at the sky, Li Zhi said: "Xu waiting, you first take this Qiao Datou to the imperial doctor to see the injury, and then come to the Privy Council, and have something to ask him." ”

Xu Ping promised, greeted Lu Fang, and led two people to support Qiao Datou, led by Li Zhang to find the imperial doctor.

Yang Jingzong stood there stunned, watching the crowd about to leave, and couldn't help asking, "Is this the end of the matter?" ”

"Finished? Of course it's not! Li Zhi was about to leave, but when he heard this, he turned around again. This time you have done an extremely ridiculous thing, go back to the Yamen first, and wait for disposal! ”

After speaking, Li Shi took his entourage and left.

Yang Jingzong wanted to tell the difference, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shi had already gone out. I secretly scolded myself in my heart for talking too much, this old man saw that he was gone, why did he call back? The Imperial City Division is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, but how dare Yang Jingzong not listen to Li Shi's words? In front of the prime minister, he is just a small sesame official who is engaged in the affairs of the imperial city, how dare he die?

Lu Fang led someone to support Qiao Datou and asked Xu Ping: "County Marquis, is this the end of today's matter?" ”

Xu Ping glared at him: "The big head said what he knew, of course forget it!" Isn't that what you're here for? Remember, no matter how urgent the matter is, you can't be so reckless again! ”

Lu Fang comprehended: "Remember the orders of the marquis, don't dare again!" ”

At this point, today's events will definitely cause a turmoil, Xu Ping's meaning is to let Yongzhou's own old troops bite to death because Qiao Datou was beaten, and for the sake of the frontier military situation, it has nothing to do with any personal grievances. As a soldier who has fought in a war, it is natural for him to be particularly sensitive to military situations. Yang Jingzong will no longer be investigated, because there will be no result in the investigation, and the soldiers have no right to speak in the court.

Anyway, there are Yushitai and Imperial Court chasing Yang Jingzong, why bother to wade into this muddy water?

There was blood oozing out of Qiao Datou's mouth, but he felt comfortable, and said to Lu Fang: "I am grateful that you brought someone to stand up for me, how can you embarrass you again?" That Captain Bird has already hated Li Xianggong, and he can't please him if he wants to, so let's wait and see! ”

Xu Ping said to Qiao Datou: "Don't talk, follow us to see the imperial doctor." ”

However, it was said that Song Zhen returned to the Imperial Court, just in time for a group of colleagues to go down to the court, and ordered the public officials to call all the people to the official hall of Sun Zude of the Imperial Academy. I went to the official hall first, and when I saw that Sun Zude had not returned, I went around at the door and waited.

After a while, Sun Zude came back from the next court, and saw Song Zhen wandering around in front of his official hall like a headless ant, and he couldn't stop rubbing his hands, and couldn't help asking: "Song Siji, why are you here?" ”

Song Zhen heard the voice, looked up and saw Sun Zude, stepped forward and grabbed it, and dragged it into the official hall: "Imperial Court, there was a big event in the capital today, and I just caught up with it. ”

Sun Zude was confused, and followed Song Zhen into the official hall.

Without waiting to sit down, Song Zhen split his head and asked, "Imperial Academy, what do you think of Taiwei Yang, who is the Imperial City Division?" ”

Sun Zude said: "Looking at Empress Dowager Yang's face, the Holy Lord gave him an errand for the Imperial City Division, but he was just greedy for money." ”

"Haha, he got into trouble today, and I looked at him squarely, but I'm afraid he won't get any money!"

Taizong and Zhenzong like to install their cronies to control each important military force because they don't trust other people, and only those who have been with them can be trusted. Zhao Zhen is not like this, he often appoints his relatives as senior military attachés, because these positions are high, and he is taking advantage of his people and relatives.

With the same grade, generally speaking, the military attaché is a cut above the civilian rank. In the case of Sanya, the three highest-ranking generals in charge of the army, the front division of the palace and the guards of the pro-army horse army, and the infantry army are all commanders, and they have always led the envoys of the festival, and the Yu Lu is higher than the prime minister, and the deputy commander is also higher than the ruling power.

Yang Jingzong is too unproductive, he has made countless mistakes over the years as an official, and he is often demoted, so he can only go to the Imperial City Division. Like Li Yonghe, if there was no artificial insemination technology, Zhao Zhen asked him to go to the Qunmu Division to gild, and originally wanted to arrange for the former division of the palace to be the general of the army. Not to mention whether you have power or not, the money you get in your hand is the real money.

Therefore, when Song Zhen said that Yang Jingzong was going to be unlucky, it was not that he was demoted, but that he was reduced, which was the most fatal thing for him.

Li Shi returned to the Privy Council, saw Wang Deyong on duty sitting there drinking tea, said hello, and sat silently to the side to think about his thoughts, waiting for the other people to come back.

Wang Deyong is a military general, and he can hide from major affairs in the court, basically not involved, and others do not discuss with him.

To create this situation, Wang De's identity as a military general is one thing, and his background is another. Wang Deyong's father, Wang Chao, was by Taizong's side when he was in the palace, so he was reused. After Taizong ascended the throne, Wang Chao became his confidant and often led troops into battle. But the problem is that Wang Chao has almost never won battles, he must lose every battle, and he has been promoted again and again. Wang Jizhong was captured by the Khitan, and there was a reason why Wang Chao did not save him and retreated first. Later, when Zhenzong ascended the throne, Taizong appointed Wang Chao as the commander of the palace to stabilize the situation, so that Zhenzong had the merit of Yi Dai and kept the wealth.

Wang Chao is one of the representatives of the cowardly and incompetent generals after Taizong, although Wang Deyong is cautious, but he also has no military exploits, purely relying on his father's shadow and seniority to rise, it is inevitable to be excluded.

Wang Deyong knew his own business, and when he saw that Li Shi came back from Xu Pingzhuang ahead of schedule, he didn't tell him the reason, so he didn't ask, just sat there and drank tea quietly.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Shixun came back with several other privy envoys. Only the newcomer Han Yi, because Du Yan has not yet arrived in the capital, still goes to Yushitai to temporarily take care of things.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Zhang Shixun asked Li Shi: "Don't you have to stay in Zhongmu for one more day, why do you come back early?" ”

Li Shi sighed: "There is a decommissioned army in Wutai Mountain, and I stumbled upon the geographical map of mountains and rivers drawn by the party envoys, which was obviously sent by Zhao Yuanhao. This matter is not small, so I had to come back first. ”

Zhang Shixun was taken aback: "How can there be such a thing?" Today, in the palace, the officials still mentioned that Zhao Yuanhao has a heart of disobedience, and I am still a guarantee in front of the saint, and the party will never be opposed! ”

(Note: The Imperial City Envoy is a high-ranking official at this time, unless there is a special purpose, regardless of the affairs of the Division.) Check the information Wang Huaijie served as the envoy of the imperial city, it seems that he is in charge of the affairs of the imperial city, but he is not sure, he is the director of the imperial city in the book. Also, today is a little uncomfortable, the head is cloudy, there is no place, the reader bears. (To be continued.) )
