Chapter 73 The Rhythm of Big Events
Why is it said that this can be the biggest case since Jingkang?
The Iron Armor Case of the Ordnance Supervisory Authority has already involved a number of officials, but it’s not that big?
That's different.
In Wang Xun's case, there is the matter of Wang Xun's forcible purchase of fertile land in the local area.
This matter, speaking from a small perspective, was the norm in the Song Dynasty.
Speaking more broadly, as long as Zhao Ning is willing to take this matter seriously, he can take this matter, investigate the officials involved this time, and pull out a few more carrots.
Obviously, Zhao Ning is ready to take it seriously.
After Gao Qiu came out of the palace, he immediately returned to the Imperial City Si Yamen and divided into three groups to fetch the people.
We went to Yantiesi, Du Tea House and Taifu Temple respectively.
These three yamen are all fat and water yamen, and they all deal with money and business.
When the people from the Imperial City Department arrived, they were still making tea and chatting in the Yamen. Even Chuanqing, the Prime Minister of Taifu Temple, was ready to run outside Donghua Gate to talk to the girl about life, but he had not yet taken a step forward.
I went and was arrested.
"You! What are you doing! This is the center of the Taifu Temple Yamen!"
"We are from the Imperial City Department. Everyone, we have nothing else to do. We just want to invite you back for a cup of tea."
"That's nonsense. When did the Imperial City Secretary have the power to take people at will? Please step back quickly, otherwise I will send a piece of memorandum to His Majesty and you will be left with nothing to eat!"
Commander He Bin said: "Okay! Go back to the Imperial City Division and give him paper and let him write! Don't stop until he writes 10,000 words! Someone is here, arrest him!"
"How dare you!"
"Arrests!"
However, several people from the Imperial City Department came up and took Wang Chuanqing into custody. The officials who were drinking tea and chatting inside all poked their heads out.
He Bin rushed in with the people, took another register, and took the people away under the shocked looks of all the officials.
These Taifu Temple officials suddenly became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on!
These Qiu Ba people from the Imperial City Division are so arrogant!
We want to impeach them!
Everyone returned to their seats angrily, picked up their pens, and began to write the impeachment memorial with a look of justice on their faces.
Now not only the people from Taifu Temple were writing vigorously, but also the people from Du Tea House and the Salt and Iron Department began to write.
Each and every official seemed to be suddenly possessed by Fan Zhongyan, who was obviously trying to impeach the Imperial City Department, and put on a posture of "worrying about the world first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness".
Gao Qiu's speed is not bad, he is a real man!
At noon, all the officials were invited to the Imperial City Department to "drink tea."
Wang Chuanqing looked confused: Where's the tea? Didn't you ask me to come for tea? Why are you handcuffing me? Why are you tying me up? Ah...
Others were also handcuffed.
The people from the Imperial City Department began to beat these officials with whips and wax.
Imperial City Secretary: Say it! Say it quickly!
Wang Chuanqing: Don’t fight! Don’t fight!
Imperial City Secretary: Tell me! If you don’t tell me, I’ll be beaten to death!
Wang Chuanqing: Tell me! What did you say? You asked me! Start beating me as soon as I come up! Don’t ask anything! What did I say!
At noon, while Gao Qiu was busy serving the officials with his whip, Zhao Ning went to change into a suit of armor, led the imperial guards, and left Tokyo City all the way to the new army camp in the north of the city.
When someone is about to be killed, he needs to meet with the army and keep in touch. If there is an unexpected situation, he can use the army to take care of the situation.
Zhao Ningshun took Yue Fei with him.
Yue Fei originally wanted to return to Hebei to resume his life, but Zhao Ning temporarily stayed in Bianjing.
Regarding Zongze's matter, there are new arrangements in the future. It is useless for Yue Fei to go back now. It is better to stay in the capital for a while.
The news that officials from Taifu Temple, Salt and Iron Division, and Capital Tea House were arrested by the Imperial City Division soon spread to Dongfu.
Mo Chou, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was in the political hall. After hearing this, he did not immediately think of going to the emperor for comment, but immediately began to wonder what happened.
He immediately went quietly to the Imperial City Division to find Gao Qiu and asked about the whole story.
Logically speaking, arresting officials at will was equivalent to stepping on the cat's tail in the Song Dynasty.
But our friend Mo Shangshu doesn't think so now. He begins to wonder about the issue of which side to take.
Now that Zhao Ding has taken charge of the Political Affairs Hall, he is preparing to bring supplies to Beijing. The situation in the court has changed. He heard that Li Gang is returning to Beijing. If he doesn't take action, he may not be able to be the Minister of Civil Affairs one day.
Is Zhao Ding a reformer or a conservative?
Will he exclude himself?
Could it be another Cai Jing?
What will happen to the court situation after Li Gang returns?
Do you still have your own place?
Mo Chou truly felt his political crisis.
Therefore, he was ready to kneel down and lick Zhao Guan's house.
That Gao Qiu knelt down and licked her, and now he was so majestic that he walked sideways in Tokyo and no one dared to mess with him.
Go kneel and lick, kneel and lick, and establish a good relationship with Gao Qiu. Will you soon be able to fight against the new changes in the court situation?
Knowing this, Mo Chuan, a smart little guy, immediately ran to the palace, preparing to start a battle with his kneeling and licking skills.
You see, bureaucrats are never monolithic. They compete for each other's interests and compete with each other!
Everyone is involved in the stock market. If you don’t fight for it, it belongs to others.
Unfortunately, when Mo Chou first arrived at the palace gate, he was told that Zhao Guan's family had left the palace.
At this time, hearing that Zhao Guan's family was coming, Zhang Shuye went from the military camp on the south bank of the Yellow River to the New Army camp, and led the officers of the New Army to greet the holy driver in person.
When Zhao Ning arrived, everyone said: "I will see your Majesty."
"No need to be polite." Zhao Ning got off his horse and looked around. The new army was wearing armor and lined up neatly, with a great military appearance.
This army performed very well in the previous defense of the city.
And Zhao Ning asked Zhang Shuye to select a group of people, all of whom had been through blood and fire.
The temperament is completely different from before.
Zhao Ning said to Zhang Bofen: "Zhang Qing, your armor looks very good. Take it off and give it to me to try."
Zhang Bofen was shocked, and everyone around him was also surprised.
Zhang Bofen quickly said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare. Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world, how can you..."
"It doesn't matter. Taizu was also born in the military and also wore armor. Why can't I take it off?"
Zhang Bofen glanced at his father. Zhang Shuye didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Zhao Ning then took off his armor. He was wearing armor himself.
After taking it off, he put on Zhang Bofen's.
Yue Fei on the side was even more frightened. This official is really interesting!
After Zhao Ning put on Zhang Bofen's armor, he walked in front of the soldiers in formation, and then stopped in front of an ordinary soldier. He said: "Wang Zhi, I remember you."
The soldier was shocked, immediately blushed, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
He was a little nervous, no, he was very nervous.
Zhao Ning patted him on the shoulder and said: "After the battle with the Jin Army, I went to comfort the wounded. I remember that you were carrying the wounded. I also remember that the armor of your left arm was broken and your hand was injured."
Wang Zhi became even more excited and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my injury has healed!"
"Okay! You are good!"
Zhao Ning glanced around and suddenly shouted: "You are all good! You are all good men of my Song Dynasty!"
Everyone shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
The sound got louder and louder.
After a while, Zhao Ning raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then the silence returned.
He added: "I know that you are all concerned about the salary issue in the past few months. I have promised before that I will not withhold salary at will anymore."
"The Jin army has withdrawn. I have arranged for Mr. Zhang to count the military rolls. I will be able to distribute your salaries to all of you next month."
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone started talking.
The officers shouted loudly: "Everyone be silent!"
Slowly return to quiet.
Zhao Ning said kindly again: "I know in my heart that you all need salary to support your family, so tell your family that I will not treat those who are loyal to the country badly."
The emperor's few words, coupled with wearing Zhang Bofen's armor, immediately created a respectable image here.
Even Yue Fei on the other side was moved.
With such a Zhao Guan family, why couldn't the Song Dynasty regain its strength?
When I returned to the palace in the afternoon, the imperial desk in Wende Hall was filled with memorials, all related to Gao Qiu's arrest in the morning.
The memorial to impeach Gao Qiu flew over like snowflakes.
However, Gao Qiu is not a vegetarian, and the results of his interrogation have already come out.
