Chapter 70
In fact, for the Lin'an court, the death of a fifth-rank magistrate was not important at all. Although the Xu family in Liuzhou was a gentry family, the Xu family has become increasingly in decline for more than a hundred years.
During the Shunzong Dynasty, a minister of the Ministry of War was born.
There is only one old man who is prominent in the court. He is half a Qingshui Yamen who has been promoted to the Dali Temple Minister. He has no hope of being promoted and is likely to retire within a year and a half.
Outside the court, there was Xu Jizu, the commander of the Western Army, who was considered a real power figure and had a certain room for improvement. However, due to the old story of the defeated bandits in Jinyu Mountain, Duke Di of the Privy Council is now very disdainful of this Western Army commander.
Most of the other Xu family members served in various departments or localities, and there were no outstanding people.
No one investigated Xu Jiye's death.
The reason why it can still cause noise in the court is that the Beizhen Fushi was involved in it - if it involves the Beizhen Fushi, it may involve Yiren. Who doesn’t know the attitude of His Majesty to Yiren?
It would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.
So although Zhao Xin, the commander of the Northern Fushi Department, was only a third-rank official, dared to beat the Minister of the Shangshu Province in the court, and the Minister of the Privy Council, was treated with three points of courtesy when he looked at him.
Besides, there were old cases three years ago.
A magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture, Chang Yuchun, was killed by Zhu Qi, the Northern Fushi Department. The magistrate, known as the "Daliang Blue and White" and was also a favorite disciple of the current minister. Afterwards, Your Majesty did not punish Zhu Qi, but just used a first-rank prose to appease the minister.
However, this time Xu Jiye's death was accompanied by the murder of Fanmian Village.
Since the revival of Zhongzong, the leader of the revival, abandoned Zu Ce, who "literati ruled the world together", the civil and military officials of Daliang were both prosperous, but the scholars of Daliang did not lose their integrity. The saying, "Being worried about the world first and worry about the world first and then enjoy the world later" was still the original intention of the civil officials of Daliang.
The Fushi of Beizhen actually slaughtered more than 300 people in the village, which is really shocking.
During the second day of the grand court meeting, the minister of the dynasty, the right servant of the dynasty, first, was listed for a copy, and impeached Zhao Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Fushi Department, on this matter, and then a group of prominent civil officials such as Xie Yun, the chief minister of the government affairs department, followed by the proposal.
The mentor of "Daliang Blue and White" was rarely silent in the left prime minister of the dynasty.
Her Majesty the Empress had no expression and said something again, and put the matter on hold for the time being. Although the civil officials were dissatisfied, they also knew that this was a great concession from Her Majesty the Empress.
When Zhu Qi killed Daliang Blue and White, someone participated in the impeachment of the incident, and was directly criticized by His Majesty the Empress, "Are you punishing strange people for me?"
After the court was dispersed, they all returned to the yamen office.
The officials of Daliang are quite comfortable. The court meeting once every three days, and the civil and military officials have to set off at the fourth update. After passing Lizhengmen, they wait in the side hall. When the time comes, they will go to Chongzheng Hall. If you have any questions to discuss politics and leave the court.
In fact, the important national affairs at the Grand Court meeting were agreed upon by Your Majesty and several ministers, the central figures of the three provinces and six ministries, in the Chuigong Hall.
Otherwise, hundreds of people in Chongzheng Hall would be no different from the vegetable market. What kind of style would be like?
Therefore, the dynasty meetings generally do not delay the Si hour, and most of them end at Chen hour. After that, they will go back to the yamen office. If the mansion is close to the yamen, they will go home after lunch and continue to order Mao to serve. They can go home at the end of Shen hour in the afternoon, and then there will be a luxurious and decayed nightlife.
After today's grand court meeting, the atmosphere in the office room of the Secretary of State's minister was a little quiet.
The left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and the affairs of the Secret Secretary of the Central Committee, the Grand Tutor Wang Kun sat there calmly, and placed a chessboard in front of him. A man held a black and white piece to play chess, and no one dared to disturb the first husband of Daliang.
Wang Kun was forty-three years old and became the first husband of Daliang with his forties. His career trajectory is talked about in the world, which can be described as a legend.
During the reign of Emperor Shunzong, Wang Kun, who was 18 years old and had not yet won the imperial examination, was the top scorer in the first grade of the 18th rank of Jiankang Prefecture. He returned to Lin'an for two years and served as the storyteller of Chongzheng Hall, who was from the seventh rank. He then went beyond the rank of the sixth rank of Jiying Hall, who was from the fifth rank of secretary and the fourth rank of secretary.
The year when Shunzong passed away, he was already the third-rank Zuo Sanqi Changshi.
When the empress ascended the throne, Wang Kun served as the second-rank censor and the second-rank chief political affairs within one year. In the second year of Yong'an, Xie Lang's father-in-law, the Cui family, who was born in Qinghe, retreated from the left prime minister and promoted Dongxiao Palace. Wang Kun replaced him and the prime minister was the chief of Daliang.
Wang Kun was only 34 years old that year.
In just sixteen years, Wang Kun, who started from a poor family, went from the eighth-rank county magistrate to the first-rank husband. His legendary career envied countless scholars and became an idol of scholars in Daliang.
Over the past ten years, the right prime minister and deputy prime minister have changed one after another, and Wang Kun's left prime minister's position is as stable as Mount Tai.
Wang Kun was born into a poor family or was from a poor family in the early years. He was short and even though he had been living a rich life of luxury and wealth of more than twenty years, he was still thin.
Wang Kun has an ordinary appearance and is even worse than an ordinary scholar. If he walks on the street in casual clothes, he will only think that he is a man who is afraid of others. He seems to be harmless, but in fact, no one in the court or country in Lin'an calls him the Iron Blood Gong behind his back. This can be seen from the "Qing Ci Case" in the fourth year of Yong'an.
The "Qing Ci case" caused 38 members of the family of Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites in the dynasty, plus 564 people in the three tribes, of which 496 were beheaded. The remaining men were sent to the frontier to serve as soldiers, and women were sent to the military camps to act as prostitutes.
None of the women, children, young and old are spared.
Everyone in the government and the country knew that this was behind Wang Kun's work.
At this moment, Wang Kun still looked calm.
But his heart was ups and downs. Today, the grand ceremony meeting was held. The Minister of Shangshu Youpushe, the Minister of the Secretariat, Ning Que, and Xie Yun, the deputy minister of Chen County, who was born in the Left of Xie, and was named the Shuangbi of Chen County, together with the Minister of Personnel Xie Lang, all reported to Zhao Xin, the commander of the Northern Fushishi, about the slaughter of Fanmian Village.
It seems to have nothing to do with you, but in fact it is pointed at yourself.
In the case of Zhu Qi killing Daliang Blue and White Flowers, Zhao Xin later visited the door in person, and then he had a tacit understanding with him. Otherwise, how could Zhu Qi live safely until this year?
Today's empress's attitude made Wang Kun look alert.
Since the empress ascended the throne, her holy family has been sitting in prison, blocking countless people's ambitions to reach the top of their careers. For example, Ning Que, who had been in office for two years as the right prime minister, wanted to go further, he had to drag himself off.
The left and right husbands are in harmony with each other's appearance and the balance between the power of the court has always been the unchanging strategy of Her Majesty the Empress.
In fact, it was also the power of the kings of Daliang all dynasties.
Otherwise, Her Majesty the Empress would not have frequently changed those right prime ministers who were too weak to compete with him.
Wang Kun couldn't sit still anymore.
He understood the principle of cooking a cunning rabbit and a lackey. Everything he had was given by His Majesty the Queen. Once His Majesty had a killing intention to kill him, no one could save him.
However, how could I not have the power to fight back?
Wang Kun pulled up the corner of his mouth, his calm face was cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He lifted up a black spot and left a son in the north.
