"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Feng Jing looked at the absent-minded prince and called cautiously.

"Oh..." Zhao Xu came back to his senses, looked at Feng Jing, and asked casually: "Do you know which censor proposed the impeachment?"

Now, the censor Zhongcheng of the censor station is Huang Lu.

Huang Lu is an old minister, a trusted confidant of Zhao Xu's father, and a minister whom Zhao Xu can trust.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu once worshiped Huang Lu as Shangshu Youcheng, the prime minister of the two prefectures and three provinces.

However, the Yushitai can never be the hall of one person's words.

Coupled with the restructuring of Yuanfeng and the elimination of the name of Jian Yuan, the former Jian Guan system and Yu Shi system merged.

This makes the situation in Taichung, the censor, more complicated.

In addition, the officials of the Song Dynasty adhered to the system of large and small ministers and used political tactics to stir up different opinions, which also mixed sand into the censor's platform, which made the factions of the censors within the censor's platform more and more complicated.

For some people, it is difficult to know their true attitude, let alone their true position, until the critical moment.

Feng Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "This is beyond my knowledge!"

Zhao Xu nodded: "I understand!"

He walked to the desk, picked up the scriptures given to him by Empress Dowager Gao, and pretended to read, but his mind wandered far away.

What is the situation of Li Xian's case? Zhao Xu knows it clearly in his heart.

Because, in his previous life, when Zhang Dun reversed the case, he easily figured out the cause and effect.

Of course, in this process, some Spring and Autumn style of writing must be used, which is far-fetched and far-fetched to resemble Sima Guang and Lu Gong.

However, the general context is clear.

If Zhao Xu's memory is correct, it probably looks like this.

Before the fifth Battle of Lanzhou last year, Zhao Xu's father issued an edict, ordering Li Xian to send envoys to Dong Xiang of the Qing Tang Dynasty, Ali Gu and his son, and ordered his father and son to send troops to harass the Xixia flanks in order to respond to the Lanzhou War, and asked Dong

Zhan's father and son came to Beijing for an audience.

Li Xian then selected an officer named Huangfu Dan to serve as the envoy.

But this Huangfudan was timid and fearful of trouble. After he went on a mission, he arrived in the Qingtang territory and encountered the obstruction of the Western Bandit General Qing Yi Jie Guizhang, so he did not dare to move forward - he said it himself, there is no circumstantial evidence.

However, he turned around and deceived Li Xian, saying that he had met Dong Xiang, told Dong Xiang Xiaoyu the imperial decree, and said that Dong Xiang had agreed to send troops.

Li Xian reported the matter accordingly, but after a while, Li Xian discovered that Huangfudan was lying, so he reported the matter again.

Such a trivial matter fell into the ears of the censor, and suddenly the crowd became furious, impeaching Li Xian for making false reports and being suspected of deceiving the emperor.

At that time, the Battle of Lanzhou entered a critical moment.

The imperial court lost contact with Lanzhou for a time.

Zhao Xu's father, under pressure from the ministers, could only agree to discuss the matter with the censors.

But not long after, good news came from Lanzhou.

Hundreds of thousands of thieves were defeated in the West, tens of thousands were killed and tens of thousands were killed, and fifty thousand were beheaded. Li Xian built a Jingguan under the city of Lanzhou.

This matter naturally stopped here.

The censors all pretended that there was no such thing.

But who knew that when Zhao Xu came to the throne, this matter would be publicized again.

At that time, Zhao Xu was just an ignorant young man sitting on the throne.

Who is Li Xian? Where is Xihelanhui Road? He has no idea.

No one even came to explain these things to him.

The mother-in-law who listens behind the curtain is the one who holds all the power and has the highest decision-making power.

Gao, who had been promoted to the Empress Dowager, quickly made her decision.

Li Xian left and went to serve as the deputy capital magistrate of the province. Wu Xin's army stayed behind, but he retained the pacification system of Xihe Lanhui Road and sent envoys, allowing him to make meritorious deeds.

People under Li Xian have suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

After following Li Xian for more than ten years, all the staff who had been working hard to be responsible for the logistics of Xihe Road were dismissed from their posts or even reorganized.

And this is just the beginning.

As Sima Guang came to Beijing, the Empress Dowager sent people to express condolences. Sima Guang took the opportunity to write a letter and discuss Li Xian's case.

The Empress Dowager followed the good deeds and ordered the censor, and the situation finally became uncontrollable!

This is also the reason why Zhang Dun was able to pass the responsibility to Sima Guang.

look!

It is this treacherous official who harmed our country’s generals!

But actually, what did Sima Guang do?

They just talked about his views on state affairs in front of the Empress Dowager's envoy, and incidentally mentioned the Li Xian case.

If it were another person, he might just laugh it off, after all, Li Xian had already been dealt with.

But the problem is that what Sima Guang met was the "female middle school Yao and Shun" of the Song Dynasty.

Among women, Yao and Shun were best at doing what was good and followed the flow.

Zhao Xu's mother-in-law had incredible trust in Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Lu Gongzhu and others!

When she heard the report, was Sima Guang also concerned about Li Xian's case?

How can something that a gentleman like this care about be a trivial matter?

A thorough investigation! A thorough investigation must be carried out!

In the Song Dynasty, who could withstand the investigation?

Not to mention Li Xian, except for Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and a few others, no one could stand the investigation.

The reason why the Qingli New Deal failed in the first place.

It was because Wang Gongchen caught a small problem with Su Shunqin, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Du Yan who supported Fan Zhongyan's new policy - this prime minister's son-in-law took out the waste paper in the memorial courtyard and sold it for money.

After receiving the money, he invited people to eat flowers, drink wine, and have sex with prostitutes.

Originally, this was just a small matter.

But the problem is that these people eat flowers, drink wine, and prostitutes, and they like to write poems when they are drunk.

When the mind is unclear, it is inevitable that some people will be complacent and write things that they usually dare not write.

For example, a participant named Wang Yirou wrote a poem called "A Song of Proudness". The poem said: He was lying drunk at the North Pole and was sent to the emperor to help him, but Confucius, the Duke of Zhou, drove him into slavery!

This poem was sent to Wang Gongchen. As if he had found a treasure, Wang Gongchen reported this poem to the Ren Temple, demanding that these arrogant people who were stealing, corrupting and perverting the law, insulting and blaspheming the saints should be punished!

Wang Gongchen's request frightened Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Han Qi and others.

These people immediately began to defend Su Shunqin and others.

What Wang Gongchen was waiting for was their excuse!

Immediately turn to impeachment of Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi formed a party, and the evidence is conclusive!

As a result, amid the public outrage, Prime Minister Du Yan, Fan Zhongyan's biggest supporter in the court, was dismissed.

Without Du Yan's support, Fan Zhongyan was powerless in the court and had no choice but to go out on his own.

The Qingli New Deal failed!

Wang Gongchen was very proud and said publicly: I will catch them all in one fell swoop!

This is the origin of the idiom catch all in one fell swoop.

After this incident, the Song Dynasty court learned a lesson.

When it comes to impeaching prime ministers or generals, no matter how small it is, they will be cautious so as not to allow the second Wang Gongchen to take advantage of the loophole.

However, the Empress Dowager at that time had no experience in governing and did not understand these court traditions.

She only knows one thing - Sima Guang is a gentleman, and there must be something wrong with the things that all gentlemen care about.

Then she checked - there was indeed a problem!

Li Xian, the hero of the Song Dynasty's expansion, the most trusted minister and general of the late emperor, the famous commander who had shocked the northwest for more than ten years, and the man who could make Tibetan people bow to their knees in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, was overthrown in this way.

On June 16th of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Li Xian took advantage of the situation, made false reports, missed deadlines, sat back and watched Yongle City besieged, committed more than ten serious crimes such as corruption, and demoted Yongxing Army to the deputy general manager, and promoted Chongfu Palace

.

In the court, the leaders of the capital, which was still dominated by the New Party at that time, were all talking about Li Xian's crime.

No one mentioned any of his gong!

Also, the monarch Li Xian was loyal to has passed away.

Although his young master has ascended the throne, he is just a child and does not understand anything. He does not even know that such a minister exists.

He has lost his backer.

A minister without a backer, no matter how high his status is and how much credit he has achieved, can only be manipulated by others.

Recalling these things, Zhao Xu began to think about how to solve Li Xian's difficulties.

Because, in Zhao Xu's heart now, he has already decided.
Chapter completed!
