This kind of official correspondence on personnel appointments and dismissals is not a secret, and it is customary to report to the Imperial Historical Observatory every day for them to supervise.

The imperial historians were discussing the impeachment of Zhang Shixun tomorrow, and they didn't care about it at all. When Zhang Qi was in power in the court, he didn't bring it up himself, and the Sanban Yuan would not offend him in vain, and his relatives at home were all idle. Now it is not as majestic as it was back then, who would care about a small prison officer in the remote state army?

In the evening, Sun Zude of the Zhiyuan came to invite the servant Yu Shi Jiang Tang to go out for a drink, and by the way, he inquired about the news of the Yu Shi Tai.

The status of the Imperial Court is far inferior to that of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the officials pay more attention to independence, and the rumors and performances are all in their own way, and the court stipulates that there is no need to consult the chief official. Sun Zude's popularity is average, and he can't organize his subordinate officials to discuss and act together like the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he has no choice but to prepare to echo the Imperial History.

When they arrived in Qingfeng Building, the two chose a small pavilion to sit in, chatted a few words, and then the topic turned to Zhang Shixun. Listening to Jiang Tang's statement that the imperial history of the public will impeach Zhang Shixun together tomorrow, Sun Zude has a plan in his heart.

After finishing the business, I will talk about some idle things in the capital.

Sun Zude said: "Yesterday, there was an interesting anecdote, Zhang Xinyi, the little yaman of Zhang Fu's family, fell in love with a little lady who opened a small hotel near Panlou, and entangled there for two days in a row. didn't want that little lady to have something to do with Xu Ping, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, so she called Xu Ping over, humiliated Zhang Xinyi very much, and it is said that she beat him. ”

Jiang Tang listened to it and understood in his heart that this was an interesting anecdote, but he was afraid that the Zhang family's little yamen was unwilling to suffer in vain under Xu Ping's hands, and sued the court. If you don't want to talk about it, no one can listen to the source, not even the emperor and the prime minister. Many disgruntled people would submit a letter to the court, asking that their names be hidden, otherwise where would they have come from so many rumors. Although the Imperial Historical Observatory also has this function, it is not as convenient as the Imperial Court, which ultimately controls the two complaint institutions for the common people, the Drum Yuan and the Procuratorate.

As soon as Sun Zude mentioned this matter, Jiang Tang knew that he was coming to him for support. Last year, because of the abolition of Empress Guo, three Taiwan officials went to Xu Ping's house to make trouble, and they seized the official position afterwards, and he was also one of them. Because of this incident, the Taiwan officials have formed a bond with Xu Ping, and they always have to disgust him whenever they have the opportunity. Now that the opportunity is in front of you, how can you let it go?

It's a pity that Taili has already decided to suppress all other things tomorrow and unanimously deal with Zhang Shixun, although he said that he could say things alone in the system, so he offended his colleagues.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Tang said: "Speaking of this matter, the appointment and dismissal documents reported by the third class of the courtyard today, including this Zhang Xinyi, was sent to the Lianshui Army to serve as the salt supervisor, and it was because of Xu Ping. ”

"It must be! How can things be so coincidental in the world? Xu Ping and Zhang Xin clashed together yesterday, and today they sent him to the Waizhou Army! Bachelor Li is old and cowardly, if Xu Ping runs to Guan and says, he will not allow it! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Zude was a little excited, his face turned red, and he looked at Jiang Tang eagerly and said: "Xilu, Xu Ping is acting so unscrupulously, tomorrow we will jointly impeach him together!" As soon as Zhang Xin was in the family of the prince, he was so humiliated by Xu Ping, a lucky villain, how could he bear him! ”

Jiang Tang shook his head: "No, tomorrow Yushitai will impeach Zhang Xianggong together, and I can't let my peers down." Yan Zhong can join forces with the officials of this court to impeach Xu Ping, so that he should not be too arrogant in the capital. ”

"It's good! Then tomorrow Yushitai will face Zhang Xianggong, and our court will face Xu Ping! I found out clearly, Xu Ping not only humiliated Zhang Xinyi, but also beat him! It just doesn't make sense! ”

Jiang Tang smiled: "Who is to blame?" The family of the prince, which family does not go in and out of the ya, there are not many entourages, only Zhang Fu's family shoots a copper coin that weighs a thousand catties, since the privy council, can no longer serve casually as a soldier, and there is not even a single errand around them to pass the word. A powerless Yanei, where is Xu Ping's opponent of the murderer. ”

Jiang Tang said in his mouth, but hesitated a few times in his heart, whether to remind Sun Zude that he should be careful in impeaching Xu Ping this time. Although the official can hear about it, he can't talk nonsense, he doesn't have the evidence in his hand that Xu Ping is looking for the third class courtyard, so don't be bitten by Xu Ping when the time comes. After thinking about it, Jiang Tang also wanted to see Xu Ping deflated.

As for Xu Ping's direct writing, the third class was so blatant, they didn't even dare to think about it.

The next morning, Lu Yijian played the daily government affairs of Zhongshu, Zhang Shixun was listed, the last chapter impeached, and asked to dismiss the Pingzhang affairs under the Zhongshu Sect and go out of the state. The excuse was that he went home and asked his family to know that the amount of money involved in the shop was too large, and then he couldn't sit comfortably in the political hall, so he took the blame and set an example for other officials.

Han Yi, who supervised the hundred officials opposite, didn't expect Zhang Shixun to come out like this, all the discussions made by the imperial historians yesterday were useless, and he was in a hurry, and kept giving the palace attendants who were checking the style and discipline a look.

Xu Ping stood in the crowd of hundreds of officials and watched coldly, obviously Zhang Shixun got the news last night, and today he took the preemptive action to retreat and advance, so that the people who were looking for trouble with him would come to nothing.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Shixun's gray hair, and remembered that Zhang Shixun had assisted him wholeheartedly when he was the prince in the past, where could he dismiss him because of a little business in the family, and comforted him with warm words.

The final result was to accept Zhang Shixun's self-impeachment recital, and discuss it after the next dynasty.

By the time the second class of the Privy Council had finished the political affairs, the imperial historians had not yet come to their senses, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The third class of the convention is the imperial history of the official performance, Sun Zude saw that the imperial history was caught off guard by Zhang Shixun, and made a fool there, his heart was out of the ranks, and he said loudly: "Weichen impeached Xu Ping, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, for lawlessness!" ”

The vertical arch hall is not large, Xu Ping is behind a group of ministers above the system, and the position has already reached the outside of the hall. In order to make the officials stand neatly, there were round stones lined up outside the hall, and everyone was standing in front of the round stones.

These cobblestones have been trampled on for an hour or two every day, and they have already been polished to a great smoothness. Originally, Xu Ping was standing there bored, his feet shook lightly to try the smoothness of the boulder under his feet, and when he heard this, he suddenly became energetic.

The order in the palace is maintained by several yamen, such as the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Gate Division, but it is the Imperial Historical Observatory that plays a major role, which is somewhat convenient, and it is much more convenient for the officials to perform affairs than other officials.

Sun Zude held up the wat board and said loudly: "The minister heard that yesterday near Panlou, Xu Ping, the deputy envoy of Yantie, and Zhang Xinyi, the official of the Dongtou enshrinement, had a dispute because of a people's daughter. Xu Ping relied on his large number of people, openly humiliated Zhang Xinyi, and slapped him! As a minister of the DPRK and China, what is the difference between Xu Ping acting like this and the idle man who is jealous on the street? It's really a loss of face for the court! ”

Xu Ping listened and shook his head slightly. Since he has done it, he is still afraid of others saying that he originally wanted to make things bigger. After these few months in the capital, Xu Ping missed his old subordinates in Yongzhou more and more, and this time he openly stood up for Duan Yunjie and dealt with Zhang Xinyi unabashedly, just to show his favor to his old subordinates. When there is an opportunity, he will transfer people from Yongzhou to Beijing, and he will be his own team, which is better than being alone and being constrained everywhere.

Sun Zude's words didn't stop: "Moreover, the minister also knows that Xu Ping secretly entrusted the officials of the Third Class Courtyard to put Zhang Xin far away from the Lianshui Army Salt Prison!" Xu Ping had already married a wife, and for the sake of a people's daughter, he used his power to do personal gains, which is shameful! It's chilling! ”

Zhao Zhen frowned in his seat.

He doesn't go to his heart when he is jealous, he still feels very annoyed that these officials have nothing to fight for, and he himself can't get off the stage because of the abolition of the post. What's wrong with the minister, the minister can't have the woman he likes.

But beating people is too much, as soon as Zhang Xin heard the name, he knew that it was Zhang Qi's family, and when Empress Dowager Liu was there, Zhang Qi's family didn't run into the palace, and Zhao Zhen naturally knew. Although Zhang Qi is now a privy envoy to other states, and he is still the status of the minister of the country, how can Xu Ping not give any face and beat people if he doesn't agree with him?

Han Yi, who was opposite the ministers, was a little angry with Sun Zude, when was it now, everyone was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Shixun, but he made these sesame trivial things out to divert the line of events, which was really speechless.

Because he stood too far back and couldn't see Xu Ping's figure, Han Yilang said: "Xu Ping, what Sun Yuyuan said is indeed the case?" You stand out to defend yourself! ”

Xu Ping shouted a promise, and was led by the people from the gate and squeezed out of the crowd.

After saluting, Xu Ping said: "There are indeed things, but it's not for any jealousy." ”

Sun Zude sneered: "Why not? I heard that the woman's beauty caused you and Zhang Xinyi to argue! ”

"Counselor, although you have heard about it, you can't make up stories, I obviously went out for other reasons."

"Which one will believe you? Who in the capital doesn't know that your wife can't tolerate people in her eyes. Naturally, you have something to do with that woman, and you are afraid of the wife of the family, so you raised it outside, and as a result, you caused trouble! ”

Xu Ping listened to Sun Zude's words, his eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was really indescribable. When did Lin Suniang have this reputation again? knows how to read and learn, but she has become a well-known woman in the capital?

"Sun Zhiyuan, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately! Do you know that what you just said was to slander the reputation of two women, where did you read? The reason why I went to stand up for that woman was because her father had worked under me for many years, and he was also working for the court! When I first went to Yongzhou, her father Duan Fang was the commander of Ruhe County, and the sugar business was first developed in Ruhe County step by step. Later, the sugar business moved to Taiping County, and Duan Fang was appointed as the county governor of Taiping, and I don't know how much effort it took in a few years. That's a person who has made a contribution to the country! Did You Know? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping's voice also rose: "Duan Fang came to the capital to report on his work, but he was pushed back by the officials of the Inquisitor's Court, and both husband and wife died, and they failed to enter the palace to face the king!" I beat Zhang Xinyi, that's because I have already told him that this woman's father is an official with meritorious service in the country, and this woman still has a heavy filial piety, and he is still entangled! Not only did I drive away the ignorant Zhang Xinyi, but yesterday I also wrote the third class and sent him to the outer state army! In the six years of Yongzhou, the household registration has increased from less than 10,000 to hundreds of thousands, and the money and food have increased by 100 times. If these officials in Yongzhou eat chaff and follow me to do things, if I can't even protect the face of their children, what face will I have to face them? Wouldn't it be a discredit to the imperial court! ”

"The official hears about it, but it's not a casual story! Things are clearly understood, but when it comes to your mouth, it has become like this, when did the speaker become a long-tongued woman? Can the public officials of the goods department collude up and down and collude with the shops? I don't see any rumors of your court! Wei Zhenzhi County Li Derun was retaliated by the state officials and hanged himself, and he hasn't seen your court speak for him for many years! will only go to the temple like a long-tongued woman to preach these things, Sun Dianyuan, you can't speak for this year! ”

Lai De-yun, a native of Jeju, was falsely accused by the state officials and hanged himself in prison for exposing the state officials' fraud and accepting bribes. Xu Ping was familiar with Shi Yannian of the Dongzhou Yi Party, and his family sued him, but because the materials of the case had not been sorted out and had not been reported, they were now simply brought forward together.
