I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 346 A shrew is stronger than a tiger! Officials in the Reform Department were collectively frustrated
The fifth day of October.

The third day on which the Reform Department promulgated the "Article 64 of the Enyin Official Reform Regulations".

The weather is slightly cold.

The Cuju competition in Jucheng, a southern suburb outside Bianjing City, is in full swing.

With the construction of Cuju courts in various places.

Every half month or so, Cuju teams from out of town come to Jucheng in the southern suburbs to play games.

It’s hard to get a ticket at the southern suburbs dance venue.

Such competitions not only give the surrounding people an additional job to make money, but also make the flow of businessmen from various places more frequent.

For this reason, some businessmen donated money to local yamen and repaired official roads, which greatly promoted the flow of people in the Song Dynasty.

……

At present, the Li family has many benefactors, including more than a hundred nephews, nephews, and grandchildren.

She also has an identity.

Fu Bi could only pretend to be confused.

Fu Bi was stunned and said with a smile: "Mrs. Madam, what do you mean by this? We have nothing to do with the Li family?"

Her husband's name is Li Yonghe.

Yang suddenly came to the Reform Department.

Even if she causes trouble, the officials will not punish her severely.

His status was lofty, and the officials treated the Li family very favorably because they were ashamed of his biological mother, the Queen Mother Zhang Yi.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this name.

From the perspective of Li Yonghe's seniority, she is Zhao Zhen's aunt; from the identity of Princess Fukang, he is related to the current emperor and empress.

Li Yonghe died last year and was given to the Grand Master, Zhongshu Ling, and the Prince of Longxi County.

But in their eyes.

They also remember each other.

In the afternoon, the Reform Department.

She is Mrs. Yang of Renshou County.

"My dear Sirs, Madam Renshou County has barged in!"

He is the biological brother of Empress Dowager Zhang Yi (Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Li Chen), and Zhao Zhen's biological uncle.

Once a special case is made for her, the grace officials will inevitably make a fuss, and then it will be bad.

Yang took the lead in bowing.

At the moment, this woman is the most suitable person in Bianjing City to stand up and oppose Enyinguan's reform regulations.

Su Liang and others are discussing the reaction caused by the En Yin Official Reform Regulations.

If Article 64 of the Regulations on the Reform of Enyin Officials is implemented, it is estimated that 90% of people will lose their official positions.

Most of them are mediocre and incompetent and only know how to enjoy themselves.

The identity of this lady of Renshou County is not ordinary.

Although Yang had never spoken to Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Su Liang and others, they had met each other on some sacrificial occasions.

Besides, she is still a woman.

Naturally, she wanted to oppose the Enyin Official Reform Regulations on behalf of her nephews, descendants, and grandchildren.

Fu Bi stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that she didn't go to the official family first, but came to us instead. It seems that there is someone with expert guidance behind her!"

His wife Wang also passed away at the beginning of this year.

Su Liang couldn't help but frown.

Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Yaochen, Su Liang and others had just walked into the courtyard when they saw a beautiful woman about forty years old in brocade walking over with several maids and servants.

Such status.

"what?"

Losing your official position means losing your identity, which will bring shame to your ancestors.

Although Mrs. Yang of Renshou County was Li Yonghe's concubine, she was currently the mistress of the Longxi County Prince's Palace.

A clerk walked over quickly.

Although these people relied on their status as relatives and the rewards, they had long been able to eat and drink without worries, and they had acquired a huge property.

Even Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, had to avoid her.

Immediately, Fu Bi and others all stood up and walked out the door.

His biological son Li Wei had made a marriage contract with Zhao Zhen's eldest daughter Princess Fukang in the seventh year of Qingli.

Before Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan and others could return the favor, Yang asked: "My dear gentlemen, you are trying to push my Li family towards death!"

"No intersection? No intersection. Why do you want to ruin the future of my son, the Li family!"

"As a woman, I can understand the regulations on the reform of officials. You are just for your own fame and fortune, and you do not hesitate to let the officials be merciless. Can't the current court afford thousands of officials? Besides, they It’s not like I’m not doing anything!”

"Do you know the contribution of my Li family to the imperial court! Back then, the Queen Mother Zhang Yi could not recognize the official family until her death. The official family felt that they owed me the Li family. You ministers not only did not share the worries of the official family, but also made the officials Is this what a minister does when he abandons his kindness and does such heartless things?"

"You have gained a good reputation, but how will so many members of my Li family live in the future? A hundred years later, when I meet the Queen Mother Zhang Yi, how should I explain to her? Do I have to say that the officials are unkind and have made all my Li family lose their lives?" Official positions have become civilians, and you...you are forcing officials to be unkind and unfilial!"

……

Empress Dowager Zhang Yi was Zhao Zhen's weakness and was involved in royal internal affairs.

Foreign ministers are not suitable for commenting.

Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Yaochen, Su Liang, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and other people who were very good at words could only listen to Yang's loud scoldings with expressionless faces.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Fu Bi finally couldn't bear it anymore. Taking advantage of Yang's words.

Fu Bi quickly said: "Mrs. County Princess, this matter is actually..."

As soon as Fu Bi opened his mouth, he saw Yang shaking his head, covering his ears and saying, "I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

"You, these sharp-tongued scholar-officials, are full of lies, and you will work together to deceive a woman like me. If my master was still alive, you would not dare to be so arrogant!"

As soon as these words fell.

Fu Bi, Su Liang and others were a little confused.

They didn't do anything and they were already labeled as bullies.

Yang continued: "Today, you must give me an explanation. I don't care about the others. My Li family nephew will not be demoted or dismissed if he does not take part in the civil service examination! As long as you agree and give me a letter, I will go to the official." Home!"

Talking and talking.

Yang also started sobbing, her voice getting louder and louder.

While crying.

While telling how the official family owed the Queen Mother Zhang Yi, and how difficult it was for her to manage the Li family!

At this time.

Wang Yaochen, who had always been good-tempered, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

With a cold expression on his face, he rebuked loudly: "Mrs. Madam, that's enough! How unbecoming is it to cry and cry in an official office!"

Wang Yaochen intended to scare Yang and force him to leave.

But Yang has seen too many scenes.

Not afraid at all.

"You...you actually yelled at me? Master, you left early, otherwise the Third Secretary would never yell at me as a woman. I...I want to tell the queen, I...I want to tell the officials!"

Yang cried harder.

Wang Yaochen was speechless.

If any family marries such a woman, the family is destined to be in chaos and never have peace.

Fu Bi looked helpless, and Fan Zhongyan was also helpless.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were so angry that their faces turned black.

But if they were asked to argue with a woman, they felt it was ungentlemanly.

Su Liang thought for a while, but did not stand up and speak.

It's useless to argue with this treacherous woman, and she won't listen.

immediately.

Mrs. Yang asked the maid behind her to pull a stool and sat down directly in the courtyard of the Reform Department without intending to leave.

He also threatened: If you don’t give me an explanation today, no one will be able to go home!

Fan Zhongyan and others had no choice but to return to the house.

Several ministers of the imperial court were forced to do this by a woman, and they also lost their face.

……

Inside the meeting hall.

Fu Bi called everyone together.

Fu Bi said helplessly: "Everyone, the shrew is blocking the door and we can't get the officials to drive her away. We have to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, when it's time to release the yamen, she will block her in the yamen and spread the word. We will be embarrassed!"

Fu Bi still cherishes his face.

Fan Zhongyan looked at Su Liang and said, "Jing Ming, you always have clever ideas, how do you think we should deal with them?"

Su Liang covered his ears, imitating Yang's behavior just now, shaking his head and saying in a high voice: "I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

Everyone was angry and laughing.

Wang Yaochen picked up a book and threw it on Su Liang's body, saying, "Jing Ming, it's no time to joke now!"

Su Liang returned to his normal appearance.

"We can't rush, we can't, we can't, we can't do anything at all, we should wait for rescue!"

"Who can save us?" Sima Guang asked, and then added: "Will the officials come to save us?"

now.

The officials must have known that Mrs. Renshou County had broken into the Reform Department.

"At the moment, only the officials can solve this matter. If we can't solve this problem with the county's wife, Article 64 of the "Regulations on the Reform of Enyin Officials" cannot be implemented at all!" Wang Anshi said.

On the side, Wang Yaochen curled his lips.

"I...how do you feel that if the officials come, not only will they not be able to deal with this county lady, they will actually agree to her request."

Hearing this, Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but nodded in approval.

Zhao Zhen only recognized his biological mother after her death.

He was very kind to the Li family after that.

His uncle Li Yonghe was nothing but honest, but he was promoted to general and prime minister by Zhao Zhen.

Today, the descendants of the Li family are all Zhao Zhen's uncle's family.

In his eyes, this is the closest thing to him.

Su Liang thought for a while and said: "This is indeed the official's weakness, but I believe that the official can properly resolve this matter and eliminate relatives for justice!"
