Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"Haha, Your Highness, the old minister knows that you are going to go to court in a while. This is not the official minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Yi, who is not on 'vacation'. He was also invited by the old minister to help you stand up and cheer."

Seeing that old Cheng Yi still looked like he couldn't get along, what he said warmed Guo Mo's heart.

"Hehe, then please Cheng Sima, please thank Old Shangshu Cheng on my behalf."

After the two of them had breakfast, Guo Mo rode on horseback, while Cheng Yu took a sedan chair, and rushed to Li's main gate.

At the "Da Qing Palace", today is just a normal morning court, not a monthly grand court meeting. Unexpectedly, all civil and military officials arrived quite neatly.

Even Cheng Yu, Yue Ke, Song Ci, Meng Zongzheng and others who had been contemplating behind closed doors for several months suddenly stood in their positions.

Guo Mo looked left and right, and was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know where to stand.

In the east row are civil servants, Shi Miyuan stands at the head of the civil servants, followed by Cheng Yi, Xue Ji and others.

The west row is military generals, and His Royal Highness Zhao Mian has now participated in the government, so he stands at the head of the west row.

Guo Mo simply stood in the row of generals, did not go forward, and directly leaned on a pillar near the gate, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

This move of his frightened the low-ranking generals next to him. Will he be ranked ahead of King Yan?

Several generals were at a loss, but no one dared to wake up Guo Mo who was dozing off.

With little effort, the official Zhao Kuo, led by the old eunuch, came out of the apse and sat in the middle on the dragon chair.

Zhao Kuo looked around at the ministers of civil and military affairs, but he didn't see Guo Mo's shadow, so he was a little puzzled.

Could this Xiaoqi be hiding?Still haven't woken up yet?

"Official, look over there—"

The old eunuch seemed to see through Zhao Kuo's thoughts, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but looked at the pillars at the entrance of the "Daqing Hall".

"Pfft-"

Zhao Kuo hurriedly covered himself with the sleeves of his dragon robe. Fortunately, at the beginning, no one dared to look up at him as an official.

"This kid, no matter where he goes, he doesn't behave rightly? How can he do his own thing like this? I'm so envious——"

Zhao Kuo muttered to himself.

The old eunuch beside him heard the truth.

Well, if it were someone else, it would be a proper disgrace. How come your son has become a model of "doing one's own way"?

"My lords, do you have something to play?"

After Wenwu greeted the officials, Zhao Kuo asked in a businesslike manner.

"Reporting to the officials, yesterday I received a report from His Royal Highness King Yan, and we cooperated with the 'Imperial City Department' to verify the behavior of some illegal officials. 42 people were found to be suspected of committing crimes."

"It has been turned over to the Ministry of Punishment for sentencing and punishment. The minister Cheng Yi is asking for credit for His Royal Highness King Yan."

Well, as soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, those censors with sharp legs and feet, before they had time to come out, let old Cheng Yi take advantage of the loophole.

Even Shi Miyuan who was standing next to him was taken aback, why is this old guy so agile?

By the way, isn't he "rehabilitating"?

Cheng Yi didn't retreat, and was still waiting for the official's reply. Song Ci, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, also came out to report.

"Reporting to the official family, the minister Song Ci has played. The minister originally followed the official's order and meditated behind closed doors at home. Suddenly, Old Shangshu Cheng came to visit and said that there was a big accident that involved dozens of officials in our dynasty."

"As an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Great Song Dynasty, the minister did not hesitate to disobey the official's will and return to the Ministry of Criminal Justice as a crime, and thoroughly investigated the case overnight."

"All the crimes committed by the 42 officials involved have been ascertained, and all the witnesses and material evidence are available. The confessions and confessions of these 42 people have been brought, and they are just outside the gate of the 'Daqing Palace'. Please let the officials know. "

"Oh, let someone bring it in—"

Zhao Kuo thought it was quite interesting. He hadn't seen the censors make a move yet, but they were preempted by others?

I would like to see how this good show will end today?

Song Ci went straight to the door of the "Daqing Palace", and, intentionally or not, glanced at Guo Mo who was dozing on the pillar.

Well, we are all acting desperately... No, we are doing our best to serve our country.

Your Highness, you are fine, hiding here and sleeping?

When Song Ci came back, two warriors in front of the temple followed behind, each holding a thick stack of confessions.

The old eunuch should have come out to take it, but with so many confessions, how decent is it?

"Just carry it over—"

The official Zhao Kuo spoke again.

The two warriors in front of the hall put the thick confession directly at the feet of the officials, and then withdrew from the "Daqing Hall".

With so many confessions, how could Zhao Kuo be able to see it?

He casually picked up two copies and flipped through them, then became furious, and kicked down the other confessions, scattering them all over the floor.

As an official, Zhao Kuo has a good temper. It is rare for someone to get angry in public like today.

"Look, this is the talent you hired for me? Especially the book office of the Ministry of Industry, which got an 'upper' in the evaluation last year. Xue Ji, is this how your official department evaluates?"

Zhao Kuo directly threw the confession in his hand in front of Xue Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Officials, the subject is guilty—"

Xue Ji hurried out, picked up the confession from the ground, and even knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

In the Song Dynasty, unless it was a large-scale sacrifice, there were very few rituals of kneeling, but now Xue Ji knelt down.

A few days ago, he also participated in the plan at Shi Miyuan's residence.

He knew that Li Zhixiao had already made a move, but he didn't expect that Shi Xiang's side hadn't started yet, and the other party would make a move first.

Old Xueji had a premonition that today's situation might not develop in the direction Li Zhixiao planned, so he simply took advantage of this opportunity to kneel down and not get up.

"Yue Ke, minister of the household department, has a book to play. Yesterday, the minister was on duty at the household department and received dozens of gift lists and several gifts from the Yan Palace."

"His Royal Highness the King of Yan confessed that this was all given by colleagues in Lin'an, but he will not be rewarded for his merits, and if he returns, he is afraid of hurting the harmony and face of his colleagues."

"These gifts were donated to the Ministry of Households for free. According to His Highness King Yan's intention, these gifts will be cashed out or exchanged for useful supplies, and sent to the people who have difficulties in winter for free."

"I organized manual checks and calculations overnight. The total value of these gifts is about 11 taels of silver. I asked the officials to let the household department purchase the materials and distribute them in the name of His Royal Highness Yan."

The "Daqing Palace" fell into silence.

"It's amazing. This is to buy fame with money. The key is to use other people's money, and those who donated money were sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice instead."

Old Xue Ji knelt on the ground, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

"Well, this is considered a good deed, I agree. However, I hope that every penny here will be spent on the people. If I know that someone dares to do something here, there should still be a place in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. "

How could Zhao Kuo not allow him to be able to help the victims and make his son's name famous at the expense of those criminal officials' money?

Li Zhixiao, who was standing in the middle of the civil servants, saw it and felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly flirted with a censor next to him.

"The minister has a book to play—"

Zhao Kuo saw that a censor came out of the civil servants. Is the show about to start?

"Liu Yushi, what's the chapter, feel free to play it—"

You can't let others play it, you can say whatever you want, and even if you say something wrong, you don't have to bear any responsibility.

The officials of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most "rampant" group.

That's right, the word "rampant" can be used. When they are in a bad mood, even the officials dare to point and scold them in person.

Gain Song Taizu made three chapters of the contract back then.

One is that "the descendants of the Chai family are not allowed to be punished more if they are guilty. If they commit a crime and seek rebellion, they will be given to death in prison, and they will not be punished by punishment, nor will they even sit on their relatives."

The second is "not to kill scholar-bureaucrats and those who write letters to speak".

The third is "If any descendants exceed this oath, Heaven will kill them."

In the oath, it is clearly stated that the officials of the Song Dynasty must not kill ministers and speech officials without authorization, otherwise they will be punished by heaven.

This oath, established by Song Taizu, has been passed down and continued from generation to generation of emperors.

"I want to impeach His Royal Highness Zhao Hao, King Yan—"

The censor surnamed Liu raised his voice, "Daqing Palace" is quieter than before.

"Oh, why did Liu Qing impeach King Yan?"

"The minister impeached His Royal Highness King Yan, with a total of 18 crimes—"

"The first pile, nepotism, the country's important weapon, privately give and receive;"

"Second, dereliction of duty, being in his position, not thinking of serving the country;"

"The third one is to kill allies without authorization, cruel and inhumane, and loses the dignity of the country;"

"The fourth pile is forming a party for personal gain, colluding with important ministers, and plotting wrongdoing;"

......

"No. 18 piles, crazy and rebellious, support the self-respect of the soldiers, shake the foundation of the country."

Well, this Liu Yushi's impassioned report made the "Daqing Palace" buzz, and even Guo Mo, who was asleep, couldn't sleep.

"Just now Liu Yushi played it, what do you think?"

Zhao Kuo asked slowly, no one knew what the official was thinking.

In fact, what Zhao Kuo had just thought was that if Xiao Qi was not his own son, but the only one, what he did would really be worthy of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

It's a pity, you self-righteous bastards.

"Officials, ministers seconded—"

Seeing the official Zhao Kuo asking for the opinions of the ministers, Li Zhixiao hurriedly stood up.

"The minister agrees-"

"The minister agrees-"

"Minister, please second—"

Wow, at least one-third of the civil and military officials in the "Daqing Palace" came out and seconded.

Zhao Kuo took a look and found that almost all of them were officials of the fourth rank and below.

In the Song Dynasty, only officials from the fifth rank and above were eligible to come to the court.

That is to say, those who jump out to impeach Guo Mo now are still minor characters.

"Shi Xiang, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Kuo saw that no one stood up again, and no one came out to complain for Guo Mo, so he directly called Shi Miyuan's name.

"Reporting to the officials, since the "Martial Examination" of the year, His Royal Highness has excelled in both literary and martial arts, formed the "Dunwu Army", established the "Jingnan Army" and the "Yue Family Army", and integrated the "Zhongshun Army" , a momentary martial arts strategy, unrivaled in the world.”

"The soldiers from the two lakes resisted the Jin Dynasty, took Luoyang on horseback, and played with the enemy chieftains in Xixia and Jin Kingdoms with applause. After a mere few years of hard work, more than 20 elite soldiers and strong generals have been gathered under his command. He is indeed the world's military god!"

"From the point of view of the veteran, whether the Great Song Dynasty can return the old capital to the north, and whether it can fulfill the last wish of the Taizu back then, is all based on the land of the 'Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun', and it is all up to the King of Yan."

Well, Shi Miyuan didn't comment on Liu Yushi's impeachment, but just kept "singing praises" for Guo Mo.

Hearing these words, the ears of some low-ranking officials, especially the low-ranking generals, showed surprise expressions.

However, those purple-robed people standing at the front all frowned.

Is it a honey belly sword?

"Shi Xiang, do you disapprove of Liu Yushi's performance?"

Zhao Kuo continued to pretend to be stupid, how could he fail to see Shi Miyuan's sinister intentions?

"Liu Yushi, as the country's speech officer, is a planner for the great Song Dynasty. There are as many as 18 crimes in the list. Even if they may not be able to find out the facts, it seems that they have to be checked to know... ..”

"Well, it's also a theory. Prince, what's your opinion?"

Prince Zhao Hong stood there, not to mention how happy he was.

Yan Wang Zhao Hao can also be regarded as his "cheap younger brother". Although he has never met, his name Zhao Mian has long been known.

Naturally, he was envious and jealous of his achievements, imagining that if he put himself in that position, he would definitely do better than that wild boy.

On the "Daqing Palace" today, one-third of the officials came out to impeach the King of Yan.
