The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Thanks to Ant and Yu Renjie for their monthly tickets)

Although Su Jin didn't take Xia Song's rhetoric seriously, according to his understanding of Xia Song and Du Yan, this kind of people valued their own lives and interests above all else, and they would never take risks to fight with themselves, but Having said that, when anyone has a bad temper, if they are determined not to be coerced by themselves, then they have to consider whether to make the evidence public.

But soon the question was answered. As soon as it was dark, Du Yan, who loves you better than himself, followed Su Jin's footsteps to Su Jin's mansion to ask Su Jin to see him. He pretended to be a peacemaker and tried to persuade him. The love is unbreakable, saying that everything is for the sake of the overall situation of the court, and there is no need to cause chaos in the court. In the end, he patted his chest and promised that although he was involved in this matter, he couldn't bear to see Su Jin and Xia Song being implicated at the same time. He decided to go to court tomorrow morning. He tried his best to protect Han Fan and others; but he also made it clear that the fate of Han Fan and others being relegated may be changed by the law, but he promised to try his best to plead for leniency. As for the final judgment, the emperor still has to make a final ruling.

Su Jin knew that this was also the truth, and it was up to Zhao Zhen to plead for mercy. If Zhao Zhen decided to punish severely, these people would have nothing to do; Su Jin was also prepared for the worst. If it was revealed that he was a mean and ruthless emperor, then he would immediately return to the Northwest to tear up the war horse transaction agreement, and would no longer make up for the military salary and various expenses, and would never work for him again, not because he wanted to manipulate Zhao Zhen, but also decided to Don't be foolish and loyal.

The morning court the next day, because we all know that today's morning court is to deal with Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others, all officials, big and small, came to the Daqing Hall early. Those who were ill also cheered up and dragged their sick bodies to come. Whether they were supporters or opponents of the New Deal, they wanted to see with their own eyes and hear the fate of these important officials who actively implemented the New Deal. [

Su Jin also came very early. Looking at the people outside the Daqing Hall, one can see their attitudes towards today's discussion from their faces. Some people have melancholy faces, while others can't hide it. He is gloating, grinning like a line on the upper of his shoes, and has a more human expression, showing neither emotion nor anger.

The bell rang in the early court, and all the officials filed in. Zhao Zhen ascended the throne with an expression on his face.

"Dear dears, there is only one thing to discuss today. You must have heard of it. It is about Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, etc. who secretly formed cliques. Although Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, etc. refused Admit them as cronies, but Ouyang Xiu wrote

Qian Mingyi's attitude largely represented the attitude of Du Yan and Xia Song behind Du Yan. As soon as his words came out, there was a crowd of echoes. Ti immediately beheaded to show the public and so on.

Su Jin's face was ashen, and he gouged out Du Yan with his eyes. He had already reached into his bosom, and pulled out a few blank sheets of paper. They were the confessions of several thugs who showed Du Yan last night that Xia Song was the mastermind behind the scenes. Du Yan Seeing it in his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Qizou the emperor, I have something to say."

Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "Another person who fell into trouble, but it's okay, today I want them to make up my mind for me, I can't annoy some people, they can only hate each other if they want to hate, I just act according to the will of the people, and I will never attract Come to resent."

"I should have listened to Du Aiqing's high opinion, you can tell me." Zhao Zhen said calmly.
