Prime Minister

Chapter 930

Chapter 930

It only took Shen Kuo two days to complete the process of reforming the Military Weapons Supervision, and Zhang Yue promised him to report to the emperor for him in the early court.

In the past, Zhang Yue's most frequent meeting with the emperor was the Sutra Banquet, and the other was the inner hall daily routine and rehearsal once every five days.

Generally, after living in the inner hall, officials with qualifications above the waiting list can get the opportunity to play with the emperor face to face.

When the official family first came to power, they relaxed the qualifications for the second time from the qualifications of the waiting system to above the censors, so that all the censors could meet with the emperor to perform affairs.

Of course, the officials have been in power for nine years now, and the operation of power has established a formal track, and they are no longer as eager to ask for advice or promote talents from officials as they were in the beginning of the pro-government.

So now I have given up the second pair after the big daily life.

This is what the Prime Minister has repeatedly asked for.As a prime minister, you must control the officials who the emperor meets within a certain range, and there are only two or three people at a time, and the prime minister cannot listen to it. This is a taboo for any prime minister.

Now Zhang Yue's occasion to meet the emperor is changed to daily living and big daily living.

On this day, the court officials are queuing up in front of the Wende Hall, and the officials' house is going to have a small morning court in the Shengchui Arch Hall, which is also a daily life.

First, Zhongshu was promoted to the palace, and then the Privy Council, the Third Division, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Judgment Court, and the qualified officials to meet the emperor in turn.

Zhang Yue wanted to deliver Shen Kuo's statement, but because Lu Huiqing was present, it was inconvenient to startle the snake, so he planned to talk about it later.

The censor Deng Runfu first reported the case of Zhao Shiju to the officials. Because Wang Anshi's disciple Li Shining was involved in the case, the reviewer Deng Runfu refused to sign on it.

Wang Anshi said: "Li Shining used art to travel around the public. He met Zhao Shiju's mother and gave her a poem. Fan Bailu, who interrogated the case, asked about the meaning of the poem. .Then Fan Bailu approached Zhao Shining, saying that there was a sense of injustice. I thought this was a poem that I wrote [-] or [-] years ago, and now I want to use it as a crime?"

At this time, Fan Bailu said: "Your Majesty, Li Shining confuses the world and the customs, and hides all his life. Now he is defeated. This is the king's system that must be punished. I asked Deng Runfu before, and Deng Runfu said that Li Shining is such a disorderly person that he must be punished. Today, I have to fight with my minister Li Shining." Sin does not lead to death, and it does this repeatedly, clearly trying to cater to the minister in power."

What Fan Bailu said was referring to the monk scolding the bald man.

When Deng Runfu presided over the case before, he was determined to put Li Shining to death, but Wang Anshi immediately changed his words and said that he would not kill him after returning to the court. This is what Fan Bailu said to cater to the minister in power.

As for Fan Bailu himself, Fan Zhen's nephew, he definitely wanted to use this case to overthrow Wang Anshi, which is needless to think.

But the change of Deng Runfu's attitude is ambiguous.Lu Huiqing previously instructed Deng Runfu to complete the iron case and killed Li Shining to prevent Wang Anshi from returning to the court. After Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister, Lu Huiqing put the knife away.

Deng Runfu changed his original opinion, but Fan Bailu still refused to let go, and even exposed Lu Huiqing and Deng Runfu's duplicitous affairs.

Everyone present knew it well, and Zhang Yue was also willing to eat melons.

Fan Bailu said: "Your Majesty, the facts of this case are clear and the evidence is convincing. Please deal with Deng Runfu first to set the record straight."

Because the ministers involved in the major treason case were afraid to speak, the officials came forward and said to Wang Anshi: "Bailu has no other intentions, but the case has not been closed. But people's hearts are hard to know. I think Runfu is aware of the matter, but it's hard to guarantee it." Heart."

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I think Fan Bailu is a loyal minister, but Runfu must have a party."

At the critical moment, Wang Anshi stabbed Deng Runfu and Lu Huiqing behind him.

Zhang Yue knew that Wang Anshi was in a hurry to return to the prime minister this time to prevent Lu Huiqing from using Li Shining's case against him.You must know that Lu Huiqing used the Zheng Xia case to get Wang Anguo involved.

The officials still had affection for Lu Huiqing, and they deliberately pretended not to understand and said to Wang Anshi: "Even if Li Shining is guilty, Yu Qing is not harmed."

Wang Anshi said: "If Li Shining really rebelled, your majesty will punish the minister for the crime, and the minister will have to plead guilty and die. When I heard that Li Shining was imprisoned in Jiangning, I was really terrified. If Li Shining was imprisoned and his words were slightly increased or damaged, then the minister would have Unexplainable crime."

"Your Majesty thinks that people's hearts are difficult to understand, so they will not come to this point, but a gentleman will never do the business of a villain, so how can a villain do the business of a gentleman?"

The official heard the words and asked: "For example, Zeng Bu, is it the same?"

Zhang Yue applauded from the bottom of his heart, the rank of the official family is several levels higher than before, dealing with these old foxes all day, the level is good!

Wang Anshi said: "The minister of Zeng Bupin has always known that when the minister did not recommend him, he was not opposed to the reform, so the minister accepted him and used him. When he served in the future, the minister hoped that he would be a gentleman, but he did not dare to guarantee it."

"As for why Zeng Bu repeated, don't you know the reason? If your majesty always treats his ministers the same, then Zeng Bu knows the benefits and harms must be different."

Zhang Yue laughed from the bottom of his heart, Wang Anshi didn't cover his mouth, he fought back face to face, isn't it your fault that Zeng Bu betrayed himself, the emperor?

Lu Huiqing was overjoyed to hear that Wang Anshi had insulted the emperor face to face, but her face was still respectful as usual.

Then Wang Anshi started a full-scale hate mode, making it impossible for officials to step down.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, you, Wang Anshi, are going to hate Lu Huiqing, what are you doing against the officials?

After Wang Anshi had finished ranting against the emperor, Lu Huiqing said, "Your Majesty, Wang Gong, the judge of Dali Temple, said that Zhao Shiju was like the emperor Taizu, and he had borrowed Zhao Shiju's military book, and the minister had asked him to be imprisoned, but it was not possible. Later, he learned that this person was a relative of Han Jiang, the palace envoy. .”

Zhang Yue heard that Lu Huiqing actually wanted to expand the case.

Of course, the Zhao Shiju case was originally supervised and handled by the officials. Lu Huiqing was considerate and thoughtful, and continued to expand the number of people involved in the case and expand the scope of attack.

Sure enough, Zhao Shiju resembled the emperor Taizu, which made the officials very unhappy.

Wang Anshi objected: "Your Majesty, Du Fu's Zeng Yunqiu looks like Emperor Taizong, so what's the difference?"

The official said: "I don't think Wang Gong is a good man."

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Wang Gong has no great evil."

Then Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this case ends here. If the supervisor is severely punished and the informant is generously rewarded, now if there is a trend of false accusations, the villain will use this to seek rewards. The court officials also avoid harming themselves. Involving others. In fact, with the current customs, there are too many people who are willing to kill innocent people for their own selfishness, causing harm to the whole family!"

Lu Huiqing did not refute Wang Anshi, but this time using Zhao Shiju's case did not hit Wang Anshi, but it also brought the other party's monarch and ministers closer.

At this time, Zhang Yue came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although the Privy Council is not presiding over this case, I believe that there is a danger of the Song and Liao wars. At this time, the country needs stability, and the most important thing is harmony between people. The main punishment for this case is, It is not appropriate to lightly build a big prison.”

Lu Huiqing couldn't help but glared at Zhang Yue angrily.

Hearing the words, the official pondered for a while, he is not a tyrannical king, but all monarchs have a natural sense of crisis and insecurity about power.

After Zhang Yue made his statement, the officials said to Wang Anshi: "Since this is the case, I will play according to Qing!"
