On the first day of the second month, the morning court.●⌒

On the morning of the morning and morning courts, the Wende Hall in the front hall. Whether it is a box office or not, the officials who have been promoted should participate. The number of people is large and the etiquette is extremely complicated. According to the conventional law, the Wende Hall generally does not handle any specific government affairs in the morning. If there are any emergency official duties, wait until the front hall retreats to the front hall to discuss it.

When all the officials perform rituals as rituals, they will announce the early court to form officials.

The Chief Censor Han Yi suddenly stepped out of the line and said loudly: "I have something to report!"

This happened suddenly, and the officials who maintained order in the court were caught off guard.

Zhao Zhen was ready to get up and think about going back to have dinner. When he heard Han Yi's report, he had to sit down again.

Han Yi said: "I closed yesterday. I was rarely reunited with my family, but I didn't expect that hundreds of officials from the three corps gathered in front of my house and insulted loudly, and even smashed the courtyard with bricks and stones. In the peaceful and prosperous era, the minor officials actually insulted the ministers so much. If they were not punished seriously, where would the imperial court be majestic!"

The Wende Hall is tall, and Han Yi's voice echoes and lingers endlessly.

Most of the ministers knew what happened yesterday. After hearing Han Yi's words, they had all kinds of thoughts and looked all kinds of, with some indignation and some were lucky enough to gloat.

As soon as Han Yi finished speaking, Lu Yijian said: "The minor officials also visited the Wei minister's house yesterday. In order to avoid accidents, the doors in our house were closed. They made a fuss outside the door and left on their own. They never thought they would make such a fuss in the Han Censor's house."

When he went to the Prime Minister and the Censor's Office to make trouble, he simply did not take the court seriously. Zhao Zhen's face changed in anger and asked in a deep voice: "Which other family have they been to? Tell them together!"

The king once stepped forward and said, "I have also been to the house of Weichen."

It turned out that neither of the two prime ministers missed it, and Zhao Zhen's voice was trembling: "Have you caused trouble?"

"That's not." Wang Zeng sighed in his heart. Maybe he was a villain today. "I think these minor officials would not make trouble out of thin air, so I gave them paper and pen and asked them to write a letter. I was about to submit a memorial today. The minor officials only said that it was because the Censor Han asked to cut off the redundant officials of the three departments and ruined their food and clothing, so they made trouble. I thought that there might be any hidden secrets in the matter, so I should just slaughter the ministry."

Lu Yijian ignored the hidden remarks and turned around and asked Wang Zeng: "So, my husband has already recorded the names of the minor officials who caused trouble yesterday? Do you ever remember Zhou Quan?"

"Yes, I've already recorded it." Wang Zeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

Yesterday, the public officials who made trouble were asked to write down their names and write a letter. Wang Zeng did have the intention to leave their names to facilitate the handling of the matter afterwards. But with the conscience of heaven and earth, Wang Zeng did have the idea of ​​avenging the minor officials, if they did have grievances.

I don’t expect that the public officials made such an excessive fuss yesterday, not only attacked the Prime Minister’s Office, but also went to the censor’s house to smash and insult. The matter has reached this point, and there is no reason to be said and must be severely punished.

"It's good to have a name. If the person who caused trouble this time is not punished heavily, he will not be able to control these minor officials in the future." Lu Yijian looked angry. "I asked the officials to be in charge of the Sansi and Kaifeng Prefecture, and arrest people according to the list of Wang Xianggong. The leader's studs will be matched with Shamen Island. Those who blindly followers will also be removed from the list and will never be hired!"

Zhao Zhen was about to agree, but Wang Zeng suddenly bowed and bowed: "I think the decision cannot be so hasty. There are still many things that happened yesterday. It is not easy to make a decision. Please think twice."

Lu Yijian said: "What else is there to be unclear? It's all true to rush into the Prime Minister's Office and insult the Censor. The truth is there. The grandfather has a list of these minor officials. Just take the people alone, why bother to use them too much!"

Wang Zeng's expression remained unchanged: "What is Kaifeng Prefecture? At the foot of the emperor, the area of ​​the best, hundreds of people gathered in broad daylight, passing through the streets and alleys as if they were no one. I dare to ask where the people in Kaifeng Prefecture were yesterday? Why no one came forward to stop it? The minor officials had been making trouble for almost a whole day, and it was not that they were hasty and they didn't have time to go on a business trip."

At this time, Cheng Lin could not pretend to be stupid and said, "A murder occurred outside the city yesterday. The minister and his officers came out of the city early in the morning and came back until the sun set. I really had never heard of this."

When Xu Ping heard this in the crowd, he sneered in his heart. This must be the trick of the public officials. Maybe they didn't have the courage to make a murder case, but they could just report the murder case that happened to be reported at this time. It was all coincidence, everything was done seamlessly, and even if the boss found out, there would be no flaws.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether Cheng Lin of Kaifeng Prefecture would intentionally protect them. These minor officials became famous, but when Cheng Lin was appointed as the commander of the three officials, with Cheng Lin's shrewdness and ability, Xu Ping would not believe it if he had any news.

Wang Zeng said: "If the prefect is not here, Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be without other officials to take matters."

Cheng Lin bowed: "When the officials left the city, they entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to the magistrate Minghao."

Seeing that the matter was getting more and more complicated, Zhao Zhen was already a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Minghao, since you were in the mansion yesterday, why didn't you send a public official to stop him?"

Ming Hao followed the staff of the gate and bowed and bowed: "Report to Your Majesty, I was on duty yesterday. I have been checking the household registration and food of the envoy from morning to night. No one came to report the officials of the three departments to cause trouble. The ministers had no way of knowing it."

The Kaifeng Prefecture has a left and right department under the left and right department, which is divided into officials and assists the prefect. In name, the left and right department positions are the same, and the same yamen are also responsible for the same affairs. The meaning of dividing the left and right is to let them supervise each other. In fact, the promotion officials still have their own emphasis. Ming Hao is responsible for the Nansi, the main inspector's envoy, and the management department is in charge of household registration, money, and grain, etc., and the prison is relatively less involved.

At this point, if you check it further, you can't do it in the main hall, so you have to send someone to check it out in detail later.

Zhao Zhen suppressed his anger and ordered: "After going to court, the Censorate will work with Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate why there were no officials patrolling the capital yesterday, and he did not report to the superior if such a major incident happened. After investigation, report to listen to the verdict!"

Han Yi and Cheng Lin received the order together.

At this time, Lu Yijian stepped forward and reported: "The evils of Kaifeng Prefecture can be investigated slowly in the future. The officials of the three companies have caused trouble and are even more unruly in the court's order, so they must be strictly governed. Those who are the leaders of the army will be sent to Shamen Island, and the rest will be stopped by blind followers and will never be hired!"

When Xu Ping heard that Lu Yijian had been saying that he should immediately punish the public officials yesterday, the more he heard, the more he felt that something was wrong. If he just gave up those who should be exiled and those who should be dismissed, he would have no way to investigate the person behind the scenes.

Seeing that Wang Zeng no longer objected, Xu Ping said loudly: "I think it is inappropriate, so I must check it carefully before making a decision!"

"Xu Ping, come out and speak!"

Zhao Zhen sat up and looked far away. When he saw Xu Ping objecting in the crowd, he ordered him to come forward.

Xu Ping stepped forward and said, "I think there are many suspicious things yesterday. I need time to check them in detail. You can't make a decision in a hurry. Let's wait a moment and find out the matter first."

Lu Yijian glanced at Xu Ping and said coldly: "What's suspicious?"

"The day before yesterday, the imperial court decided to eliminate the redundant staff of the Three Divisions. After only one night, hundreds of three divisions were gathered to cause trouble yesterday. Not to mention these three divisions, how many officials in the court knew about this? If no one deliberately agitated them later, these people could gather in such a short time? As for the leaders, they were just doing things in the front and back. How could they encourage hundreds of people to follow? If the matter is not clear, I am afraid that such a thing will be difficult to ban!"

Lu Yijian said with a smile on his face: "Xu Ping, you know more about things than we do--"

Xu Ping bowed to Lu Yijian: "My grandpa, the subordinate is the deputy envoy of salt and iron, who is in charge of the military case. When he received the news yesterday, the judge Liu Han brought people to inquire. But the matter suddenly happened. The three departments did not have enough staff to disperse them. They could only touch on what was going on and who was controlling it behind the scenes."

Lu Yijian said: "Have you found out clearly?"

"Before the morning court, I asked Liu Han to arrest people according to the news I got yesterday, and I could only wait until the interrogation to get a little nervous."

At this time, Emperor Zhao Zhen also felt that things were not simple, so he asked Wang Zeng, who was not talking: "Xu Ping's words make sense, what does the Prime Minister think?"

Wang Zeng said: "The military case is under the jurisdiction of the Salt and Iron Department. Xu Ping is in charge of the officials of the three corps who are causing trouble. I think this matter cannot be avoided. But the Censorate and Kaifeng Prefecture will work with the Salt and Iron Department to handle the case together, mainly the Salt and Iron Department."

When Lu Yijian heard this, he looked unhappy on his face. He was about to come forward to object, but he heard Zhao Zhen above say, "According to what Wang Zeng said, the case will be jointly tried by the Censorate, Kaifeng Prefecture and the Salt and Iron Department. Han Yi and Cheng Lin each selected elite officials and went to the Salt and Iron Department to assist Xu Ping. After the result, the report submitted a report."

Xu Ping, Han Yi and Cheng Lin hurriedly answered the order together.

The emperor's golden mouth, things were settled like this.

Although Lu Yijian was unwilling to do so, he could only keep silent and glared at Xu Ping who came out to disrupt the situation.

After receiving the order, Xu Ping kept silent and said nothing, no one read it, as if the old monk had entered into meditation.

Lu Yijian has been in power for so many years and loves to play with power. It is reasonable to connect officials to form a big net. Only in this way can he truly stand invincible in the court, and even if all his followers are replaced, he still has a way to make a comeback. Because of many things, under this situation, others can't deal with them at all.

However, in the court, no one except Xu Ping would doubt Lu Yijian. No matter how anxious he was to deal with the officials who caused trouble yesterday, others would just regard it as his resentment of being surrounded by him when he was leaving the mansion.

As for Xu Ping, he also knew in his heart that he was only suspicious of Lu Yijian, and this suspicion could never be confirmed. The prime minister of the dynasty would leave a handle to collude with minor officials. If Lu Yijian made such mistakes, he would not be as powerful as today. Some prime ministers would make such minor mistakes, but Lu Yijian would definitely not.
