Fu Bi solemnly accepted Chen Zunzhi's reply.

This is an opportunity to take the blame for meritorious service. Fu Bi is very cautious in how to choose people.Everyone in the cabinet has discussed it, and there is no candidate at hand to recommend.

How should I put it, no one knows that this is an opportunity, but no one knows that the first punishment for this opportunity is to use the secrecy law.People who are close to him have a lot of opportunities to be recommended as the cabinet, so there is absolutely no need to bear the infamy of leaking court secrets.Irrelevant, and I don't want to throw away such an opportunity...

To put it bluntly, it was quite difficult.

Chen Xiang is fair and honest, knows people and recommends them well. The cabinet of the imperial court and most of the political parties have had contacts with him. The people recommended by Chen Xiang are often worthy of their names.

As a last resort, Fu Bi visited Chen Xiang.

Within a few days, there were rumors in the market that it was about Xixia sending envoys to negotiate a peace.The whole rumor that the right nose has eyes is rumored to be the words of Zheng Xia, the governor of the imperial court Jinzou Academy, after drinking.

Each of the prefectures has set up officials who are dedicated to the capital, and the court officials are also in charge, and they are subordinate to Gishizhong, who are in charge of delivering official documents.After the reform of Zhenghe, due to the abolition of Gishizhong and the establishment of a supervisory yamen, Jinzhaoyuan was assigned to a separate shift and directly subordinated to the cabinet. affairs.

Therefore, the rumors were taken seriously from the beginning.Even "Shi Lun" opened a special issue to discuss the reasons, purposes, significance and the court's response to the Xingqing government's dispatch of envoys.

The progress of the war situation, and various reports of Bianliang’s arrival have been related to discussions. Because of this rumor, there have also been articles by people of insight accusing the front army... It is believed that it is because of the passive combat in the front, and the It led to Xixia's arrogance.

A rumor that is getting worse.

At the same time, the good news from the front was transmitted frequently again, and once again there was a great situation in which various armies advanced and wiped out the enemy soaring, which seemed to prove the authenticity of this rumor.

As long as you connect and think about it, you can figure it out.Due to the passive combat ahead, the Xixia people had ideas, and only then did the envoys make unreasonable demands.In today's war situation, what the Xixia people mentioned is indeed unreasonable.

It is such unreasonable demands that made the imperial court determined not to compromise, which led to the increase in the intensity of the current frontline war.

At this time, there was a bullet in the internal reference about Zheng Xia's disclosure of court secrets and violation of the secrecy law.

Soon, the supervisory office intervened, and quickly investigated the ins and outs of the matter. ·

Zheng Xia and his friends had a banquet in Fanlou. When the wine was in full swing, they discussed current affairs and the war situation. While drunk, Zheng Xia leaked the content of the letter of credence submitted by the envoy of Xixia, and spread it to the market... ··

According to the Confidentiality Act, what Zheng Xia did was not a subjective wish, but the result of unintentional disclosure after drinking and based on the leaked content.After being invited by the supervisory office to the cabinet, Zheng Xia was revoked from the posts of governor and political participation in the court, and fled to border states...

This is entirely punished according to the terms of the secrecy law, and there is no element of favoritism.This further confirms the authenticity of the rumors in the market.

It has been a long time, except for the information released by the court, there are very few gossip about such important court affairs. Therefore, Zheng Xia's impeachment and punishment became the most interesting thing to talk about after dinner in Bianliang.

"Will you believe it?"

The gale of public opinion has blown up, and I don't know whether I will believe those fine works floating in Bianliang.

"This is a fact in itself, so what if you believe it or not?"

"Zheng Jiefu is tired!"

The ministers in the cabinet are all talking about Zheng Xia's matter, so one can imagine how influential this incident is.

"Jiefu is almost unable to survive in Bianliang now. It's not that he has committed any serious crimes, but that he has been harassed so much... The court should make a plan for Zheng Xia to go out as soon as possible."

Fu Bi didn't expect to have such a big impact and cause such a big wave.I was a little embarrassed to see Chen Xiang.

However, what Fu Bi really couldn't believe was the role played by this small incident outside of the war.

Chapter 739 Points other than minor incidents

When courtiers and workers go out, they all need to say goodbye to the officials.

Zheng Xia was different, he was summoned by the officials before he decided where to go.

"See Your Majesty..."

It's not that Zheng Xia has never met an official, but it was the first time he was summoned by an official alone.

The prestige of today's officials has changed the court ecology of the entire Song Dynasty.In the early years, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty would not have the consciousness of trembling when they met the officials.But now, Zheng Xia is by no means the only flatterer, but he still couldn't restrain his excitement when he saw the officials.

It has nothing to do with character, it is purely the prestige of the officials, and the national strength of the Song Dynasty that has flourished since the officials came to power, which makes the officials of the entire Song Dynasty awe.

"Give a seat!"

Zheng Xia also heard that when the officials summoned the ministers, most of the time they would have a seat, so he didn't say much, and took his seat respectfully.

Zheng Xia's rumor is indeed correct, but who are Zhao Xi summoning?Except for his former ministers in the hidden residence, how could any ministers who were not discussing politics be interviewed alone?

"Jiefu is tired!"

"Returning to the official's house, it is the duty of the humble official, and it is incumbent!"

Zhao Xi was a little taken aback by Zheng Xia's reply... and then he remembered what Fu Bi said when he played the newspaper.Any cabinet, any important minister involved in the war should not be a leaker.The most suitable officials are the officials who pass into the academy and enter the academy.

It is estimated that Fu Bi fooled Zheng Xia in the same way.

"In this matter, the husband is responsible for state affairs, and the court shouldn't treat him badly. It's just that the war between the court and Xixia has not been settled, and we need to act like a baby to show to Bei Liao. Moreover, I think the court's decree must be obeyed... "..."

Zheng Xia's heart tightened.Although he also knows that it is impossible for the government to reverse the case for him at this stage, and it is impossible to issue a special pardon for him... It seems that the government has never pardoned the world.

However, Zheng Xia was summoned alone by the officials, so he still had hope.Who knows that the officials here are just comforting.

Zheng Xia paused, stood up and said, "I understand!"

"Sit down and talk. Jie Fu, according to the supervisory regulations, you will be demoted to a third level and go to a border state. The cabinet is discussing your title. I want to ask, what is your request?"

Since entering Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Xi has been observing Zheng Xia and Zheng Jiefu. Zhao Xi has not overlooked any changes in his demeanor and expression.

Zhao Xi was very concerned about sitting down respectfully for the first time, getting up to answer, the tone of his words, etc.I have to say that this Zheng Xia is very good.

Looking forward to disappointment, the emotion shown on the face was only for a moment, and soon calmed down.

"Returning to the official's house, I would like to obey the dispatch of the imperial court. No matter where I am sent, I have no objection."

"The cabinet suggested that you be dispatched to Quanzhou, the main city of Yi, and the governing city of Bosi... I agree in principle. Seeing you today, I have another idea..."

Zhao Xi paused for a while, and continued to observe Zheng Xia's expression.

The so-called dispatch of Zheng Xia to the main city of Quanzhou is the cabinet's intention to make up for him.Quanzhou is the country's foreign trade post. To put it bluntly, it is a lucrative title.

It is estimated that in the hearts of the cabinet ministers, it is difficult for Zheng Xia to recover again, and it is better to use money to make up for his contribution.

Zhao Xi was not happy to see Zheng Xia, he was always calm.Then he went on to say: "Jie Fu, what I mean is that you can choose one of Guangnan West Road and Dali Mining City. How about it?"

Zheng Xia was really confused this time.

Leaking secrets on the back of the blame, violating the court's secrecy laws, is for the future unification of the Kyushu, and there will be no shortages in the world. This is what Fu Ge said to him personally.When he did this, he could think that his official career had come to an end.

He seemed to be able to figure it out even if he was sent by Quanzhou.But the Guangnan and Dali mines that the officials said were inaugurated, it seems that they really intend to travel far to the frontier states.

It is an honor to be summoned by the officials, and it is the rhythm of treating heroes, but it is really a punishment to be relegated to Guangnan...
