Chapter 154 The Angry Han Jiang
In Baoci Palace, the Empress Dowager was talking to An Gao Zunyu's wife who was invited into the palace.

Mainly to comfort her.

After Gao Zunyu had a stroke, although he took a lot of medicine, the imperial doctors also gave him acupuncture, and he seemed to be better.

But there is still half of the body unconscious.

Gao Zunyu's house looks like a building that is about to collapse.

His wife would cry when she entered the palace from time to time, and the Empress Dowager could only comfort her patiently.

After all, this is a real aunt, and she has always been quite disciplined.

Just as he was talking, Liang Weijian came to report, and the queen mother and officials came.

Gao Zunyu's wife quickly apologized and retreated into the inner hall of Baoci Palace.

……

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother today?" The Empress Dowager asked when she saw the face of the Queen Mother and knew that the daughter-in-law was angry.

"Let's take a look, my queen!" The queen mother sent the two side reports to the queen mother: "These military officials are too domineering!"

"He didn't even listen to the general's orders, and made decisions without authorization! He even dared to impeach a handsome minister!"

"This is not paying attention to the laws of the country!"

"Not to mention Sixth Brother!"

The Empress Dowager accepted the side report handed to the Empress Dowager, she first glanced at Zhang Zhijian's impeachment, and didn't feel anything.

This is what makes the ass different.

The Gao family is a family of generals and officials, and they are not as sensitive to the boundaries between civil and military affairs as the Queen Mother.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is unforgivable that Zhang Zhijian, a military official whose status is originally below Lu Huiqing, dares to leapfrog his rank to impeach a handsome official all the way!
But in the eyes of the empress dowager, isn't this a normal thing?
A minister impeaches another minister.

Reasonable.

It wasn't until she read Lu Huiqing's memorial that her face finally became serious.

"This is a major matter for the military and the country!" The Empress Dowager said seriously: "I would like to invite all the chief ministers to discuss it..."

"However..." She observed Zhao Xu's expression and found nothing unusual, so she took the Queen Mother's hand, let her sit in front of her, and said, "This piece of remonstrance is really beyond measure!"

Lu Huiqing has already told Zhang Zhijian, the emperor's edict, ordering the scriptures to lead the troops to patrol the border.

It is really too much for you, a courtier, to make your own decisions without asking for instructions or reporting!

and……

The Empress Dowager looked at the description in Lu Huiqing's report.

It's different from Queen Mother Xiang who only cares about Zhao Xu's authority.

The Empress Dowager also remembered that she and the Empress Dowager Xiang had issued the edict to Lu Huiqing in the name of the official family.

If the western thieves didn't enter the bandits, that's all.

Now, the western thieves have really entered the bandits, but because of Zhang Zhijian's self-assertion, he missed the opportunity!
Of course the empress dowager is angry!

That's right, she doesn't like trouble.

But now, this is the western thief taking the initiative to fight!

This is not giving her the empress dowager face!
Especially when the Empress Dowager thought that if Lu Huiqing won this battle, she would capture another general of the thief.

In this way, it is logical for the Song Dynasty to force the western thieves to claim their vassals and pay tribute under the prestige of a great victory.

In this way, what he said in front of the officials that day can be realized.

The officials will admire and respect her mother-in-law even more!

Call this Zhang Zhijian ruined!
Therefore, the Empress Dowager also began to say angrily: "Before the results of the discussion in the Dutang, you can first order someone to go to Yanyan Road and recall this Zhang Zhijian back to Bianjing to be punished!"

"How does the queen mother feel?"

Although the queen mother is a little dissatisfied with such a disposal strategy.

The idea in her heart is to send people directly to Yanyan Road, dismiss him on the spot, and then send them to Bianjing to enter Dali Temple.

He must be punished for the serious crime of delaying the military plane!

But the Empress Dowager spoke up, and considering that such a matter really needs to be dealt with with Dutang Zaizhi.

After all, this Zhang Zhijian is not an ordinary military official.

He is Yaojun!

Wuchen Yaojun is an important minister to be controlled among the Wuchen.

Although Guochao did not attach as much importance to military officials as scholar-bureaucrats, they still respected them very much.

Emperor Daxing lived for 19 years, and the total number of remote counties dealt with by military law was only five.

Only one of them was executed.

That was Han Cunbao, the general who commanded the army when the Luzhou barbarians rebelled.

Moreover, the most important reason for the execution of Han Cunbao was that the five-way attack on Xia was imminent at that time, and the army needed strict military discipline to fight, so Han Cunbao's head was borrowed for use.

Otherwise, military officials at the Yaojun level would generally just be demoted.

The best example is the species of husk.

Zhong E is domineering and does not listen to orders, not once or twice.

But at most he will be demoted and resettled, and will be activated again in two years.

Thinking of this, he nodded to the queen mother and said: "I will follow your mother's order..."

"It's just that in the imperial edict issued to the court for discussion, it must be stated that the officials have already noticed that the western thieves are invading, and ordered Lu Huiqing to order Hedong to be on guard..."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's only natural!"

She looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "What do the officials think?"

Zhao Xu nodded sensiblely: "The mother and queen mother are the ones to decide!"

Does this matter require him to take action?
No need at all!
Because there is a person in Dutang, as long as he finds out about this, he will definitely be furious!

Right Prime Minister, Kang Guogong Han Jiang!

This Zhang Zhijian, if it hits Han Jiang's hands, will definitely die!
……

All halls.

At this time, Han Jiang was listening to Zhang Yu's report on the adjustment of the labor law.

Zhang Yan plans to try out a new decree in Gyeonggi that will halve the collection of exemption money for households below the fifth class, with less than [-] acres of land, or with two adult males.

Of course, in Zhang Yu's vision, the exemption money for these poor people has been reduced, but the government's expenditure and the corresponding amount of exemption money cannot be reduced too much.

Therefore, the relevant taxes will eventually be imposed on those big households.

This is also in line with the consistent policy since the reform in Xining.

Exemption money and exempt money are not apportioned equally, but collected according to the amount of property.

Rich and big households have to pay hundreds of guan a year for exemption, and some households even need to pay as much as thousands of guan.

Zhang Yu’s reason is also very good-Liangzhe Road has always implemented the regulations that rural households whose property is less than [-] yuan are exempted from paying the exemption fee, and urban households whose property is less than [-] yuan are exempted from paying and exempting money.

However, Han Jiang did not agree.

Let Zhang Yan go back and think about it carefully—this is Gyeonggi!
The big families are very powerful and may affect the court at any time.

Wang Jiefu was defeated by this!

Before Han Jiang had time to take a sip of water after seeing off Zhang Yan, the two side newspapers issued by the palace and the instructions attached to the two palaces were sent to Han Jiang.

At first, Han Jiang still held the attitude of watching a joke.

Even watching Zhang Zhijian's impeachment memorial, he was still laughing: "Lu Jifu, do you still have today?"

Eight years of Xining's past resurfaced in his mind.

If he could see Lu Huiqing deflated, he would like it the most.

however……

Lu Huiqing's side newspaper text came into his eyes.

The Right Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Duke Kang Guogong, has already taken the case!

"Wuchen dare to be domineering so far?!"

"Is he going to rebel?"

The conflict with Lu Huiqing in the political affairs hall can only be regarded as a political disagreement.

At most, Lu Huiqing just pissed him off and made him uncomfortable.

but……

All the things Lu Huiqing said in the side newspaper...but Han Jiang recalled Hengshan in Xining three years ago.

The military minister is domineering and does not follow orders...

The generals are fighting for success, but they are not willing to accept the dispatch...

There are frequent success stories on the front line, and there are military officials rebelling in the rear, Xiaoju mutiny...

As a result, he actually ended up being punished and demoted!

In an instant, Han Jiang felt the same.

Then, he looked at the text written by Liang Gong.

"It was actually the young master who issued an edict in advance, telling Lu Huiqing that he ordered Lu Huiqing to lead the army to patrol the border..."

Han Jiang couldn't bear it anymore.

That guy named Zhang Zhijian, in Han Jiang's eyes at this moment, has become a complex of Zhong'e + Wu Kui + Wang Wenliang.

Back then, Han Zihua had more power than Lu Huiqing did today!

But those military officials are still domineering, still dare to go against him, even deceive him and play tricks on him.

"These bastards!" Han Jiang was furious.

Immediately, he picked up his pen and began to write the memorial.

He must take care of this matter and investigate it to the end!
Military minister, you are never allowed to ride on the head of a scholar-bureaucrat!

What's more, he is still an important minister in power, not to mention that this important minister has the emperor's edict in his hand.

Who gave you the courage not to follow?
Moreover……

Han Jiang looked at the part about the young master in the instructions from the two palaces.

If this is true, then Zhang Zhi's remonstrance is not just as simple as disobedience and domineering.

This is the first time for the young master to command a military country. As a minister, he cannot and should not have any other thoughts besides unconditional obedience.

What's more, the current facts seem to be right - don't care if it's a guess or something else...

The fact is that the young master guessed right.

The thieves really came in a big way...

correct……

Han Jiang suddenly remembered something.

He has served as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy.

He is familiar with the terrain and jurisdiction along the border.

So, he suddenly remembered.

"Jialu Village..."

"Come here, get the documents from Jialu Village immediately..."

Therefore, officials from a certain department brought in documents from Jialu Village in the Song Dynasty.

good guy...

Although Jialu Village is between Hedong and Fuyan Road, it is under the jurisdiction of the Jinglue Division of Fuyan Road.

In other words... this Zhang Zhijian is not only delaying the military aircraft, but also a serious crime of sitting back and watching the thieves enter the bandits!

There is every reason to suspect that he is a traffic thief who intends to treason.

So Han Jiang couldn't bear it anymore.

He wrote furiously, and in less than half an hour, a murderous letter had already been written.

After checking it a few times, Han Jiang took this letter to Neidong Gate in person, handed it over to the General Supervisor, and told the other party: "Please be sure to send this letter to the hands of the two palaces! "

The people from the Tongjian Department did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly began to copy.

Soon, Han Jiang's memorial was sent to the two palaces.

He is the prime minister on the right, and he is also a veteran minister. Since he took office these days, he has won the trust of the two palaces, especially the empress dowager, because of his stable governance and his experience in doing things.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help muttering after watching it: "Isn't the old man thinking a little more simply?"

"Even a veteran like Han Jiang said that if this matter is indulged in, the country will be ruined if things go on like this..."

"Perhaps, it should be punished as severely as the empress dowager said?"

　Note: Han Jiang was defeated back then, and he himself was responsible for at least [-]% of it.

　　For the remaining [-]% of the responsibility, half belonged to Shenzong, and the rest belonged to the military officials at that time.

　　But how could Han Jiang admit that he did something wrong?
　　It can only be - Wu Chen domineering to kill me!
　　This is the normal thinking of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty.

　　Therefore, readers are requested to pay attention to the description when identifying the perspective of the scholar-officials in the book.

　　Don't think of these people as pure, cute and innocent little white rabbits.

　　None of them are simple.

　　This is also human nature, which is complex.

　　A person cannot always be a good person, nor can he always be a bad person.

　　The good and the bad are the people.
