Prime Minister

Chapter 467
Seeing that Ren Shouzhong was crying, Zhang Mao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ren knows that the Queen Mother and the officials are not here now, and no one will watch you cry, so please accept it."

Seeing that his mind was exposed, Ren Shouzhong straightened up slowly, and said to Zhang Mao: "Okay, so you have been waiting for decades for this day."

"Back then, you wanted to kill me about Princess Fukang? Now you arranged it all by yourself, and you finally got your wish."

Zhang Mao said: "It is true that I have been greatly favored by Princess Fukang, but Ren knows that he has misunderstood. This matter is not my plan."

"Who planned that?" Ren Shouzhong asked sharply.

Zhang Mao didn't say anything, but said: "It's useless to talk about it now. Ren knows that you and I have some friendship at last, let me give it to you."

Ren Shouzhong sneered and said: "Our family treated you like this in the past, and you are still willing to send me off. With such a measure, it's no wonder that this position is your turn to sit."

Zhang Mao said: "I know what is said. You have been out of Beijing twice, and you have come back? In terms of talent, every eunuch in our palace is as good as you. When you return to the palace in the future, I will rely on you a lot." Woolen cloth."

Ren Shouzhong sneered: "You mean this is the third time our family has been expelled from the palace? Three ups and downs? Can our family still have this day at this age?"

Having said that, Ren Shouzhong staggered out of the imperial city.When parting, Ren Shouzhong knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a sob, "The former emperor and empress dowager, the old minister is leaving first."

Ren Shouzhong turned his head every step, and several eunuchs who had followed him for many years couldn't help crying.

When he arrived at the Zhengshitang, he faced the attention of Wang Zhichen, Wang Jiong and other officials.Ren Shouzhong sneered, and said to himself, "It's just an ordinary prick."

Ren Shouzhong is right, these officials are all young officials.They had never seen Ren Shouzhong bullying inside and outside when he gained power, so they were not afraid of him.

Therefore, Ren Shouzhong did not expect that he would be arrogant all his life, but in the end he would be defeated by these young officials.

Ren Shouzhong walked into the Political Affairs Hall.

Han Qi sat in the hall, and the hall official handed over the head of Kong Chi to Ren Shouzhong.Ren Shouzhong laughed and said: "What about our family, there is no imperial approval from the official family, it's just an empty edict."

"Han Xianggong, this matter is beyond our orders!"

Han Qi said: "The inscriptions of the four Zhongshu are enough. Why don't you ask His Majesty Zhu to criticize, do you still need to say more?"

"At the beginning of the government, the official family couldn't bear to expel the veterans, but you can't hold the benevolence of the official family and refuse to obey orders."

Ren Shouzhong said: "Han Xianggong, our family has the merit of helping the official family to ascend the throne..."

"How to help? When the official family asked you to announce the imperial edict, you refused to do it. The official family came to the throne, but you handed over the construction of the two palaces."

Speaking of such things, Han Qi took out Sima Guang and Lu Huo's memorabilia and counted Ren Shouzhong's crimes.

Han Qi counted Ren Shouzhong's major crimes, but Ren Shouzhong always had excuses. .

Regardless of what Ren Shouzhong said, Han Qi finally said: "You deserve to die for your crime, but because you have made meritorious service to the late emperor, you will be demoted to Qizhou for resettlement. I will send envoys to escort you today to calm the public opinion."

Knowing today's luck, Ren Shouzhong said: "Please also ask Mr. Han to reminisce about the old friendship. Please slow me down and let me pack some old clothes so that I can go on the road."

Han Qi shook his head and said, "It's too late, Ren Shouzhong will leave the palace immediately!"

After speaking, a general entered the room.

Han Qi nodded to Ren Shouzhong and said, "Immediately take the offender to Qizhou for custody."

Hearing this, the military commander immediately grabbed Ren Shouzhong's arm and said, "Let's invite Ren Tuan to practice!"

Ren Shouzhong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Han is afraid that there will be changes if it is too late, okay! Our family is on the road now, otherwise I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight!"

After speaking, Ren Shouzhong was escorted out of the Zhengshitang.

The white-haired Ren Shouzhong looked up at the sky above the imperial city, and shook his head while smiling wryly.

Hearing the news that Ren Shouzhong was relegated to Qizhou for resettlement, all the officials applauded and celebrated, saying that this was the first happy thing an official did after he became the throne.

Officials who were bullied by Ren Shouzhong in the past were all exasperated and raised their eyebrows.

When escorting Ren Shouzhong to leave the capital, the scholars set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Zhang Yue felt relieved, and saw Ren Shouzhong leave before going to the capital, which was also regarded as saying goodbye to his first opponent after entering the political arena.

On the second day after Ren Shouzhong was removed, the trial court also gave Zhang Yue Mokan the result.

Zhang Yue went to the trial court to submit the reasons for the eligibility, the seal of approval, the family certificate, and the imperial edict and announcement letter that were not granted by the mill.

In Zhang Yue's column of candidates for the trial court, Ouyang Xiu, Wu Chong, and Chen Xiang were filled in.The sponsor must be an official, and it doesn't count if he becomes an official or dies of illness.

Juzhu is very important in the evaluation, promotion and appointment of officials.

First of all, there is a relationship between the host and the person being lifted. If the host commits a crime, the host’s sitting together will only reduce the crime. Therefore, the host must be cautious.

In history, Wang Anshi was Lv Huiqing's sponsor. As a result...

Of course, Zhang Yue is also qualified to be the master now, and many officials with low morals directly sell the petitions in their hands... But Zhang Yue only named Wang Shao.

In the end, the trial court reviewed the materials of Zhang Yue's parties, and finally gave an excellent evaluation.

Zhang Yuezhi's official was promoted from Zuo Lang to Taichang Cheng.

The author Zuo Lang is the 37th rank of the Beijing official, but Tai Changcheng is the 36th rank, regardless of the difference in this rank.Zhang Yue can be said to have stepped from a Beijing official to a court official.To be a court official is to be promoted to a court official, and to be a regular official, that is to say, you can enter the palace to meet the emperor.

In fact, the level of official position is like real estate.

The closer to the emperor, the more valuable it is.

Beijing court officials must respect foreign officials.

Beijing court officials are divided into court officials and Beijing officials who can not enter the palace.

Among the court officials, there is a system of waiting and a system of non-waiting.The waiting system is the emperor's attendant, who can enter the palace in a shift to discuss matters with the emperor.Most of the non-waiting court officials just kowtow outside the palace.

Among the officials to be made, there are two kinds of officials and non-two-way officials.

In addition to drafting memorials, the officials of the two systems can also write letters to the officials, which is equivalent to saying that they can whisper to the officials.Zhang Yue finally moved to Taichang Cheng, and his promotion speed was far ahead of his contemporaries.

After overthrowing Ren Shouzhong to get rid of his confidant's serious troubles and also being promoted as an official, Zhang Yue can be said to be going well now, just when he was full of ambitions and wanted to let the prison go.

A sudden side report disrupted Zhang Yue's steps.

Zhang Yue didn't know that he had suddenly become famous all over the country.

Autumn of the first year of Zhiping.

Li Liangzuo, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, was deeply ashamed because his emissary Wu Zong was humiliated when he celebrated the Zhengdan of the Song Dynasty, and was threatened with "one million soldiers will be driven into Helan's lair". He aggressively invaded Jingyuan Road.

Quan Jinglue envoys stated that Gu responded improperly. As a result, Li Liangzuo led [-] people to attack the states on Jingyuan Road. The Song army was defeated and lost soldiers and generals. They were also driven out of Shufan. More than [-] people entered Xia and lost a large population.

After Li Liangzuo was victorious, he broke through a fortress in the Song Dynasty and left a letter in blood on the city wall, asking the Song Dynasty to question Zhang Yue and other three officials who insulted the Xixia envoys at Zhengdan. !
When the frontier report of the Song army's defeat spread to the court, the officials and prime ministers were all shocked, and asked the frontier ministers to state Gu, and at the same time dispatched troops to Shaanxi.

Also placed on the desks of the officials and the chief executives along with the side newspaper is the letter from the Xixia Kingdom Lord to name Zhang Yue.
