Chapter 272

After hearing Zhang Shixun's words, Zhang Guan opened his mouth wide, his head was confused, and he couldn't speak for a while. He was a bit pedantic, but he was definitely not stupid. After saying this, he didn't know what happened?

At this time, Chen Yaozuo finished reading Gao Daquan's book and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the incident happened to the imperial guards under the jurisdiction of the Palace Front Division. No matter what the truth is in the end, Zheng Shouzhong cannot stay in the Palace Front Division. In order to prevent the imperial guards from changing, we should replace people immediately!"

Zhao Zhen calmed down and said to the ministers in front of him: "The Palace Commander is a big deal. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Zhang Shixun said: "The commander of Gaoyang Pass Road has recently entered Beijing to report his duties. He has not yet resigned, so he can take charge of the front office of the palace."

Li Zi stood up and attached: "Gao Hua has laws in control of the army and is cautious, so he is the right candidate. I think it is not only Zheng Shouzhong, but also Sun Lian, the Duke of Yu, the palace, also needs to be replaced. This case is bad, and it is the terrible thing that the commander ordered his subordinates to do it!"

Zhao Zhen nodded, thought for a while and said, "Li Zhaoliang is loyal and capable, but he can serve as the capital of Yuhou in front of the palace for Sun Lian."

The matter was urgent, and all procedures were simple. At that time, Xia Sheng, a Hanlin scholar present, wrote the lyrics, took out the seals for external halls, and handed them over to the Privy Council. Zhang Shixun temporarily left Chongzheng Hall and rushed back to the Western Palace to recruit Zheng Shouzhong, Sun Lian and his successors.

After leaving the Great Nei, Zhang Shixun felt that he could not suppress his anger. It was already difficult for him as the Privy Councilor to be demoted from the court. Now that such a serious corruption case has occurred, he will sooner or later hold him accountable. Although the military and political affairs are managed by the Three Yas themselves, the Privy Council is nominally superior, so how can it be safe and sound?

Zhang Shixun left, and Li Di said: "This major case cannot be investigated thoroughly by an important official. I ask Your Majesty to judge!"

Zhao Zhen turned his head instinctively to look at Zhang Guan, then shook his head. He was still fighting with Xu Ping to calm down, how could he be entrusted to him with confidence? He lowered his head and thought for a while, and Zhao Zhen said: "If the Imperial Army commits a crime, the Privy Council will come forward. Li Zi, you will be the presiding of this case. Select reliable personnel to help you. Be sure to find out."

Li Zi stepped forward to receive the order: "I am obeying the imperial edict! In addition, I would like to ask the Imperial City Office to assist."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "In the activities of the Imperial City Si Lan Yuanyong is cautious and able to do things with his heart, so he will help you. The Censorate."

Looking at Zhang Guan, Zhao Zhen was unsure of his mind. Such a case must be participated by the Censorate, but Zhang Guan’s performance just now was really uneasy. It is difficult for officials who chose the Censorate to bypass the Censor Central Committee.

Xu Ping held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Censor Pang Ji has been in the prefectures and counties for many years, is well-versed in laws and regulations, and does not follow personal affairs, and can participate in the case trial. In addition, this case involves lending from the capital bank, and there must be many things in the interrogation of the account books. Please participate in the audit department."

Li Di said: "I think what Xu Ping said is pertinent and Pang Ji can be used. The audit department ordered Zheng Jian to prepare a consultant together."

The matter was settled, and Li Zi, deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, assisted by the Censor Pang Ji and the Imperial City Censor Lan Yuanyong, and Zheng Jian participated in it to provide professional knowledge. Li Zi, who was responsible for the revocation of redundant personnel, criminal matters, etc., just met the division of labor of the Privy Council. The Censorate must participate. The Imperial City Censor originally restrained the three yamen, and they usually cooperated with the Privy Council a lot, and they were all unlucky to clean up the imperial guards together. The Audit Department was just because the case involved banks, and other officials had no choice but to use their power to rely on those mountain-like books.

As for the Chief Censor Zhang Guan, after this incident, he will inevitably be released. He only takes into account his face and temporarily adjourns the back.

Zheng Shouzhong had already received news of the confrontation between the two armies in the city, but he was not clear about the details. When he heard Xuan go to the Privy Council, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. The status of the Three Generals is equal to that of the ruling government, and it is still a little worse than that of the Privy Council. But in a strict sense, the Privy Council is the boss of the Third Order. Although this boss has no means to manage the specific affairs of the Third Order, his status is always there.

When he arrived at the Privy Council, he was meeting Sun Lian who was coming, and Zheng Shouzhong felt an unknown premonition. Generally speaking, even if the Privy Council summoned the general of the military to read the edict, it would be very etiquette. Today, it is very rare to be directly under the subordinates.

Historically, the relationship between the three yamen in the Song Dynasty and the Privy Council was divided by the Shenzong Dynasty. Previously, the three yamen had a high status, and the etiquette and qualifications of entering the Privy Council were not so comprehensive, and it was not considered a rigid regulation. After the Shenzong Dynasty, the status of the Privy Council as a superior was even more prominent.

After reporting, the soldiers led the two to the capital hall and asked them to stop in front of the door. Seeing that the soldiers were extremely disrespectful, Zheng Shouzhong and Sun Lian felt cold. The Privy Council did not use the people from the Third Office, and their guards were all made with the Imperial City Army soldiers. When they saw that the people below were not in good attitude, both generals in charge knew that they were afraid that they would be able to be good today.

After a moment, a polite official came out and ordered the two of them to remove the soldiers and prepare to enter the capital hall to listen to Xuan. The two had no choice but to remove their arms such as their waist knife, sang loudly, and followed them into the capital hall.

After Zhang Shixun was wearing court uniforms and sat upright on the case, a huge iron ruler on the case was particularly eye-catching. Behind him, four carefully selected royal city officials stood up, staring at Zheng Shouzhong and Sun Lian who were coming in.

The three yamen masters and generals are all martial men. If they are forced into trouble, they may do something. These four marquis and the big iron ruler on the case are to prevent accidents. To put it clearly, if you dare to be rude to the Privy Councilor in the capital, you will be beaten to death.

The Northern Song Dynasty was only polite, and the generals of the military were not crazy. When the power of the Southern Song Dynasty rose, there was really something to be killed.

I don’t know how many times Zheng Shouzhong and the others came here in this city, but they had never seen such an atmosphere before. They were frightened and no longer had the arrogant temper of the past. They bowed and stood in the hall without daring to leave.

Zhang Shixun did not give a seat like before, letting the two of them stand, and there was no noise. He directly obtained the imperial edict and came out after the case, and said sternly: "Zheng Shouzhong, the deputy commander in front of the hall, and Sun Lian, the marquis of Yu in front of the hall, come forward to listen to Xuan!"

The Secretariat used imperial edicts and the Privy Council used imperial edicts, which were all formal imperial edicts from the court, and the orders were not violated.

Since the case was not clear and the Xuanzhong did not mention that the routine Pian Si Li and Sixth post was directly removed from Zheng Shouzhong's military management position and was appointed as the deputy chief of Gaoyangguan Road. After each case, the same was true after dealing with Zheng Shouzhong, Sun Lian.

He put away the edict and asked the public officials on one side to hand it over to the two. Zhang Shixun said sternly: "The military order is like a mountain. When the announcement is made, you two will leave the capital immediately! In order to prevent accidents, the Central Envoy and the Imperial City Office's marriage officer will accompany you and escort it, and there must be no violation!"

After saying that, Zhang Shixun returned to the case, sat down and asked the two of them: "What do you have to say? If nothing happens, then leave the capital!"

Zheng Shouzhong asked respectfully: "Can you tell me clearly? Why did you eliminate the military control of our two people?"

Zhang Shixun said coldly: "You don't need to know, just follow the order and go!"

Sun Lian was not as afraid of things as Zheng Shouzhong, so he raised his head and said: "As a general in charge of the army, how can we be removed from military posts in such a unclear way! It is really heartbreaking to act like this in the court!"

Zhang Shixun slapped the table and said, "You are trying to die if you are talking about the government affairs in the capital?"

Before he finished speaking, the marriage officer behind him had already reached out to put his hand on the big iron ruler.
