Lin Ruhai, as an official who rose from the local area, had served as the censor of the salt patrol in the richest place in Mingzhou. He had been holding salt soldiers in Jianghuai Mansion for more than ten years, killing hundreds of people. Is his method extraordinary?
Song Xuan just planned to make a random start, just to support the new emperor, and to give the emperor an excuse to win over a few unpopular officials in the capital.
But Lin Ruhai took the opportunity to seize the opportunity. It didn't make much sense to kill a few ordinary Beijing officials. If he wanted to do it, he would kill Zhou Mu. If he wanted to suppress it, he would directly suppress the chief minister!
Although Zhou Mu is not in the center, he is the real real power. He is in charge of the life and death of more than one billion people. His status is second only to the several senior ministers in the court.
Lin Ruhai has been in the cabinet for two years, and there are not many people available for him. The chief minister of the cabinet seems to be suppressing his authority, while the local pastors are waiting and watching, and no one has expressed support for his work.
This is detrimental to his authority.
Especially for a relatively young minister like him who aspires to be the chief minister of the cabinet, how can he carry out his future work without the support of local officials?
The policies he promoted in the court were violated at the local level and could not be implemented. No matter how good the policy was, it would only turn into a poisonous plan that harmed the people.
He is usually quiet and tepid, but in fact he has been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow Fangzhou Mu.
And when the new emperor ascended the throne, Song Xuan, the commander of the Xuanyi Guards, threw out the brick that Zheng Qian, the prefect of Sichuan and Chongqing in Songzhou, rebelled. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!
Ji Xuanfeng pondered for a moment. He had just ascended the throne and was still trying to adapt to everything. But this was the first time the chief minister of the cabinet expressed his opinion, so he still had to be given some respect.
At that moment, he said: "In that case, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai will allocate personnel to form inspection teams to inspect Zheng Qian's rebellion case and dig deeper to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.
As for the state pastor Zhao Kuangyin, although he made an oversight, there is no need to hold him accountable until there is no clear evidence that he is related to the case. "
Lin Ruhai frowned slightly.
This time he was still a little anxious.
Seeing that Song Xuan was in a high position and the emperor had changed, he was eager to open up the situation, but the chief minister of the cabinet was the chief minister after all. Obviously, the new emperor still paid more attention to the opinions of the chief minister.
However, the emperor paused slightly, and his eyes fell on Song Xuan, "Song Qing, you personally supervised this case, do you have anything else to add?"
Song Xuan smiled and said, "It's related to rebellion, so it must be very involved. If you don't do it well, the situation will be broken. So I suggest that you send a first-class Xuanyi guard to escort the inspection team to the imperial capital!"
Since his cousin wants to mess with Zhao Kuangyin, Song Xuan doesn't mind helping.
The first-class Xuanyi guard has not left the imperial capital for twenty years because of the old emperor.
As the emperor and courtiers, as the new commander, Song Xuan felt it was necessary to let those ruthless men go out to show their presence and show the presence of Xuan Yiwei.
During his last trip to Songzhou, he was quite dissatisfied with the performance of the local Xuanyi guards, but he could also understand the difficulties of the local Xuanyi guards. Without the backing of the imperial capital, it would be really difficult for the local Qianhusuo to compete with those in charge of military affairs. The powerful state pastor.
But now, he, Song Xuan, is in power!
Since then, throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has been the biggest supporter of the Xuanyi Guards everywhere!
"First class Xuanyi guard?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were stunned.
Ever since the Emperor restricted the first-class Xuanyi guards from going out to make trouble in the capital, many of them had almost forgotten how terrifying the first-class Xuanyi guards were.
At this moment, this name was mentioned again by Song Xuan. Some older people, especially officials who had been promoted from local to capital officials, shuddered subconsciously.
Those first-class Xuanyi guards are not human at all, they are all ruthless scoundrels who kill without blinking an eye.
Every time the first-class Xuanyi guards came out of the capital, there was no bloodshed.
Even the emperor paused slightly and glanced at Song Xuan vaguely.
At this moment, the two people were directly communicating with each other in the court hall.
Emperor: "Are you too hasty? I haven't figured out the situation in the court yet."
Song Xuan: "Your Majesty has just taken the throne and handled the first big case. The inspection team appointed by you personally must do a good job in security work.
Being escorted by first-class Xuanyi guards shows that you take him seriously, right? "
Emperor: "Although the officialdom and the world have to be sorted out sooner or later, it's not too late to sort it out after I sort it out.
Let’s make an agreement first. You can send the first-class Xuanyi Guards down, but you have to explain clearly to them that you are only acting as a guard for the patrol team and you are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately. "
After pondering for a moment, he continued his spiritual voice transmission and asked: "You have been to Songzhou, what do you think of Zhao Kuangyin?"
Song Xuan: "Let's put it this way, if he has enough support from the Grand Master, he would dare to put on extra clothes when the weather gets cold."
"what clothes?"
"Dragon robe!"
Emperor: "..."
"Okay, send someone to go with you."
"Zhao Kuangyin is not an ordinary person. If you really want to deal with him, remember to get real evidence.
Although Zhou used force to conquer the world, he could not rule the world solely by force. All forces in the world are watching. If the charges are randomly arranged based on personal preferences, the legal system that has been perfected for hundreds of years on the Great Wednesday will be disrupted.
Once the system is in chaos, people's hearts will be scattered. "
Song Xuan nodded.
Ji Xuanfeng was merciless when he killed his own father, but he also had his own persistence and bottom line.
And his bottom line is to be a good emperor, an emperor with great talents and strategies that can improve the overall national power of the Zhou Dynasty to one or even countless levels.
After a brief exchange of consciousness between the two, Ji Xuanfeng coughed lightly and said, "Song Qing's opinion is very necessary. The matter involving rebellion really needs to be taken seriously. In this case, you will personally arrange the escort of the first-class Xuanyi guards! "
Song Xuan cupped his hands and accepted the order.
There was an uproar in the palace, and many officials whose hometown was in Songzhou were already feeling anxious and uneasy.
Wang Yan, the chief minister of the cabinet, frowned. At this moment, he was a little unsure of what the emperor's plan was.
He could understand that the emperor wanted to establish his prestige, but he wouldn't rush to use Fangzhou Mu to establish his prestige, right?
Why don't you take it step by step and understand the situation in the court before taking action?
Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there would be a turning point in this unexpected turn.
Looking sideways and looking at that handsome and extraordinary figure, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Such an outstanding young man, it's a pity that my Yu'er is still a step too late after all."
Lin Ruhai, Song Xuan's fiancée, also inquired about it yesterday.
Like the Song family, the Xuanyiwei family has been hereditary for more than 300 years. Its background is terrifying and no one can explain it. It is a real match for the Song family.
The most annoying thing is that if two families marry for power, Lin Ruhai will have to find a way to fight for his daughter no matter what.
But it's a pity that Song Xuan and the legitimate daughter of the Lu family are childhood sweethearts and have been in love since childhood. How can they argue?
