I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 376 Officials are fighting for jobs! Su Jingming: My biggest advantage is youth

On the sixth day of April, the weather in Bianjing became warmer.

Nong Zhigao's rebellion did not have any impact on the people.

There aren't even many people talking about it.

After all, there were quite a few rebels in the Song Dynasty over the years, and they all ended up being wiped out.

The enthusiasm for the national reform theory is still fermenting.

Some people even submitted petitions to the Reform Department, Dali Temple, Kaifeng Mansion and other government offices.

Many suggestions were put forward to benefit the country and the people.

The areas involved include light corvee, water conservancy construction, penalty relief, poverty relief, and increasing the construction of medical centers.

Issues that are of particular importance to or raised repeatedly by the people.

However, there are also some bizarre suggestions.

He was stabbed thirteen times and died.

For example, they hope that the imperial court will build a giant statue of Shennong to pray for a good harvest, build a floating palace on a river for officials to stay in for a few days to prevent floods from bursting its banks, and encourage all people to use spells, charms and other means to ward off diseases.

If the safety of officials, let alone civilians, cannot be guaranteed, the court must investigate the case and get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.

A state knows a state.

He implored the court to send someone to investigate.

As a member of the criminal and prison department, although his judgment ability is not weak, he is still old after all.

Meizhou General District Judge Lu Qing temporarily knew about the incident in Meizhou, and the Department of Prisons and Prisons was investigating, but as of noon on March 28, there were still no clues.

It's nearly noon on the eighth day of April.

An urgent message came from Yizhou Road (later Chengdu Fu Road) to mention Hong Zhong, an official of the Penal and Prison Department.

He just submitted his official memorial at the beginning of the year and is expected to take office by the end of the year.

Hong Zhong is sixty-nine years old.

It is normal for such a major case to require the court to send special personnel to investigate.

The Reform Department will give a reply and announce solutions in advance.

The Xianggongs of the two prefectures and three divisions, as well as the chief officials of Dali Temple and Taijian, quickly rushed to Chui Gong Hall.

The whole court was shocked.

In response to these suggestions, most of the Reform Department will advise them to read more.

On the evening of March 26, Meizhou Zhizhou Zuliang was stabbed thirteen times and died on the spot.

……

Hong Zhong hurriedly reported that——

This is simply appalling in the current Song Dynasty!

……

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Zhen just sat on the throne.

Fu Bi then strode out, cupped his hands and said: "Guan family, during the reform period of the Song Dynasty, a murder case of such a heinous nature occurred. I am willing to go and find out the truth of the matter!"

Fu Bi just finished speaking.

Zeng Gongliang also came out and said: "I am also willing to go to Meizhou to investigate this case!"

At this time, Song Xiang also stood up.

"The official family, Mr. Fu and Mr. Zeng are all responsible for the reform. It is not advisable to leave Bianjing for too long. I can go there."

As soon as Song Xiang finished speaking, Wu Yu stood up.

Wu Yu's chest puffed up and he said: "In terms of the official's ability to judge sentences, I think it would be better to send my ministers there!"

On the talent of punishment.

Wu Yu believed that he was superior to Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang and Song Xiang.

He is indeed good at this. After all, when he knew Kaifeng, he repeatedly solved cases. Before Bao Zheng knew Kaifeng Mansion, he was known as the chief officer of Kaifeng Mansion who was best at solving crimes.

At this time.

Zhao Gai, the minister of Dali Temple, stood up.

"Officials, Dali Temple has the responsibility of accepting imperial edicts and curing prisons, and now it is a case involving officials. I am willing to go!"

……

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. In the past.

When it comes to outings, officials have never been so active.

But when he thought about it carefully, he understood.

This seems to be the sequelae of the "national reform theory".

After Su Liang said the sentence "Let the Song Dynasty become the longest dynasty in history."

Not just the common people.

Officials are also eager to become the most dazzling star of this era, to be famous in history and to be famous throughout the ages.

At this time, Su Liang also stood up.

"In the official family, officials' violations of the law and political disputes are all the responsibility of the Yushitai. I am willing to go there."

After hearing this, Zhao Gai, the minister of Dali Temple, suddenly became unhappy.

"Su Yushi, after my Dali Temple has inspected it, can't the Yushitai conduct verification again?"

Su Liang puffed up his chest and said: "Zhao Siqing, according to the rules of our court, matters involving officials are handled by the Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple, and the Yushitai will handle the big ones. Do you think this is a small matter or a major matter? ?”

These words immediately choked Zhao Gui.

Since the official came into power, the status of Yushitai has become higher and higher. It has become a rule that cases that are difficult or inappropriate to be tried in Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple will be handed over to Yushitai.

At this time, Wu Yu stood up.

"Jingming, after the Yushitai verification, it still has to be handed over to Zhongshu for review. Am I not more qualified than you to investigate this case?"

Su Liang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Xiang Wu, you are naturally qualified, but I have a huge advantage that none of you have."

Everyone looked at Su Liang.

Su Liang smiled cheekily and said, "I'm young!"

"Meizhou is more than 2,500 miles away from Bianjing. If you go, I'm afraid you can only choose to take a carriage. It will take nearly a month to reach Meizhou. I rode a horse and changed horses at the post station every day for half a month. It can be reached, but I’m afraid none of you can do it!”

Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, Wu Yu, Song Xiang, and Zhao Gai all smiled helplessly.

The youngest of the five is also close to knowing his destiny. If he rides a horse for more than two thousand miles, he may become seriously ill.

And this case needs to be concluded quickly.

Su Liang's reason suddenly silenced the entire court.

So annoying!

Wu Yu flicked his sleeves and stood back.

Su Liang asked for orders to go. In addition to the fact that the case was indeed the responsibility of Yushitai, there were three reasons.

First, although the position of Censor Zhongcheng was reserved for Su Liang, he had no merit at the moment, and some officials questioned Su Liang's ability to judge.

As the chief official of Yushitai, his judgment ability cannot be weak.

If Su Liang investigates this case, he will be able to sit on the position of Zhongcheng. No one dares to say that the official is acting for his favored ministers.

Secondly, he also wanted to go out for a walk. The Yushitai and the Reform Department were too boring, and the recent title of "Su Zi" also bothered him. He wanted to go out to relax and take a look at the results of the current reform.

Third, he wanted to visit Su Laoquan and send some "study materials" to the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che.

Zhao Zhen was as happy as eating honey when he saw the ministers quarreling over the mission.

What he likes to see most is the atmosphere where ministers rush to do things for the court.

The more active his ministers are, the easier it will be for him as an official.

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Zhen sat up straight and said: "It seems that Su Qing is indeed the most suitable person. Let Su Qing go for this mission!"

"I obey!" Su Liang's face was full of smiles.

……

It's nearly noon on the ninth day of April.

Su Liang and others had lunch in advance and ran towards the outside of Bianjing City.

This time, Su Liang was accompanied by two instructors from the Long Yu Army, Du Lei and Sun Sheng.

There were also three hundred Custodes soldiers scattered around them.

Du Lei and Sun Sheng are both veterans of the Northwest. They are very familiar with Su Liang and are relatively easy to use.

In addition, Du Lei is also a good expert in punishment. With him around, Su Liang has more confidence.

For Su Liang's safety, Zhao Zhen specially asked the Forbidden Army soldiers to bring twenty wind-fire guns in case of emergency.
