It only took Shen Kuo two days to write down the process for reforming the Ordnance Supervision, and Zhang Yue agreed to report it to the emperor for him in the morning.
In the past, Zhang Yue's most frequent meetings with the emperor were the Sutra banquet and the daily meeting in the inner hall once every five days.
Generally, after the general living in the inner hall, the next pair of officials, who must be qualified or above, can have the opportunity to speak face to face with the emperor.
When the officials first came into power, they relaxed the qualifications from those waiting to be established to those of court counselors and above, so that court counselors could meet the emperor to perform affairs.
Of course, now that the official family has been in power for nine years, the exercise of power has a formal track, and they are no longer as eager to seek advice or promote talents from officials as they were at the beginning of the government.
So now I have given up on the second pair after the big living.
This is also what the prime minister has repeatedly requested. As a prime minister, you have to control the number of officials the emperor meets within a certain range. There are only two or three people meeting each other at a time, and the prime minister cannot listen. This is a big taboo for any prime minister.
Now the occasion for Zhang Yue to meet the emperor was changed to regular living and daily living.
On this day, the court officials were queuing up in front of the Wende Hall, while the officials raised the hanging arch hall for a small morning court, which was also a daily routine.
First, Zhongshu was promoted to the palace to report, and then the Privy Council, the Third Division, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Trial Court and the qualified officials to be appointed met with the emperor in turn.
Zhang Yue wanted to hand over Shen Kuo's instructions, but because Lu Huiqing was not present it was inconvenient to alert the enemy, so he decided to wait until later.
Censor Deng Runfu first reported the Zhao Shiju case to the officials. Because Li Shining, a disciple of Wang Anshi, was involved in the case, Deng Runfu, who reviewed the case, refused to sign it.
Wang Anshi said: "Li Shining used his skills to travel around the country. He got to know Zhao Shiju's mother and once gave her a poem. Fan Bailu, who was interrogating the case, asked about the meaning of the poem. Zhao Shining said that she was the emperor's son after Taizu. . Then Fan Bailu came to Zhao Shining and said that there was something wrong with this. I thought this was a poem I composed seventeen or eight years ago. Now I want to use it to add guilt? "
At this time, Fan Bailu said: "Your Majesty, Li Shining has deceived the world and been in hiding all his life. Now he has shown defeat. This is what the royal system must punish. I asked Deng Runfu before, and Deng Runfu said that Li Shining must be punished for causing chaos among the people. Today, he actually told me that Li Shining The crime does not lead to death, and he does this repeatedly, which is clearly an attempt to cater to the ministers in power."
Fan Bailu was referring to the monk and scolded the bald man.
When Deng Runfu was presiding over the case, he was determined to kill Li Shining, but after Wang Anshi returned to the court, he immediately changed his mind and said he would not kill him. This is what Fan Bailu said to cater to the ruling minister.
Fan Bailu himself is Fan Zhen's nephew. He must have wanted to use this case to bring down Wang Anshi. There is no need to think about it.
But the change in Deng Runfu's attitude is ambiguous. Lu Huiqing had previously instructed Deng Runfu to complete the ironclad case and kill Li Shining to prevent Wang Anshi from returning to the court. After Wang Anshi returned to the throne, Lu Huiqing put away the knife.
Deng Runfu changed his original opinion, but Fan Bailu remained unyielding and exposed Lu Huiqing and Deng Runfu's double-dealing.
Everyone present knew it, and Zhang Yue was happy to take advantage of it.
Fan Bailu said: "Your Majesty, the facts of this case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Please deal with Deng Runfu first to set the record straight."
Since the ministers were afraid to speak because they were involved in the serious case of rebellion, the officials came forward and said to Wang Anshi: "Bai Lu has no other intentions, but the case has not been closed. But it is difficult to know people's hearts. I think Runfu knows what is going on, but there is no guarantee that he will." Heart."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I think Fan Bailu is a loyal and trustworthy minister, but Runfu must have a party attached to him."
At the critical moment, Wang Anshi stabbed Deng Runfu and Lu Huiqing behind him.
Zhang Yue knew clearly that Wang Anshi was anxious to return to the prime minister this time in order to prevent Lu Huiqing from using Li Shining's case against him. You must know that Lu Huiqing used Zheng Xia's case to mess with Wang Anguo before.
The officials still had feelings for Lu Huiqing, and they deliberately pretended not to understand and said to Wang Anshi, "Even if Li Shining is guilty, Yu Qing is not harmed."
Wang Anshi said: "If Li Shining really conspired to rebel, and your Majesty punishes me, I will have no choice but to accept my crime and die. When I heard that Li Shining was in jail in Jiangning, I was really frightened. If Li Shining was in jail and his words were slightly aggravated, then I would have It’s an incomprehensible crime.”
"Your Majesty thinks that the human heart is difficult to understand, so he will not do this. However, a gentleman will never do the things of a villain. How can a villain do the things of a gentleman?"
The official heard this and asked: "For example, Zeng Bu, is the same thing?"
Zhang Yue applauded from the bottom of his heart. His rank in the official family was several levels higher than before. He was dealing with these old foxes all day long, so he was very good at it!
Wang Anshi said: "Zeng Bu's character has always been known to me. When I did not recommend him, he was not opposed to the reform, so I accepted him and used him. When I serve him later, I hope that he will be a gentleman, but I dare not guarantee it."
"As for why Zeng Bu kept repeating this, doesn't His Majesty know the reason? If Your Majesty always treats his ministers indiscriminately, Zeng Bu would not know the interests."
Zhang Yue laughed in his heart. Wang Anshi didn't hide his words and fought back in person. Isn't it your fault that Zeng Bu betrayed him?
Lu Huiqing was overjoyed when she heard that Wang Anshi had criticized the Emperor in person, but she remained respectful as usual.
Then Wang Anshi started a full-scale attack mode, making it impossible for the officials to step down.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Wang Anshi is going to attack Lu Huiqing, what are you doing to attack the officials?
After Wang Anshi finished speaking to the emperor, Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, Wang Gong, the judge of Dali Temple, said that Zhao Shiju looked like Emperor Taizu, and he had borrowed Zhao Shiju's military books. I once asked him to be imprisoned, but it was not possible. Later I learned that this person was a relative of the palace envoy Han Jiang. ."
Zhang Yue heard that Lu Huiqing actually wanted to expand the case.
Of course, the Zhao Shiju case was originally supervised and handled by the officials themselves. Lu Huiqing was considerate and continued to expand the number of people involved in the case and expand the scope of the attack.
Sure enough, this sentence made Zhao Shiju look like Emperor Taizu, which made the officials extremely unhappy.
Wang Anshi objected: "Your Majesty, Du Fu once said that his Qiuzong was like Taizong, so what difference does this make?"
The official said: "I think Wang Gong is not a good person."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Wang Gong is not evil."
Then Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the case ends here. If the supervisor is severely punished and the whistleblower is generously rewarded, once false accusations become popular, villains will use this to seek rewards. Imperial officials will also avoid harming themselves and will Implicate others. In fact, according to today's customs, too many people are willing to kill innocent people and harm the whole family for their own selfish purposes!"
Lu Huiqing did not refute Wang Anshi, but although the use of Zhao Shiju's case did not hit Wang Anshi, it also brought the other monarch and ministers closer to each other.
At this time, Zhang Yue came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although this case is not presided over by the Privy Council, I believe that there is a danger of war between Song and Liao. At this time, the country needs stability and peace of mind is the most important thing. The punishment for this case is: It is not appropriate to create a big prison lightly."
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but glared at Zhang Yue after hearing this.
The official pondered for a moment after hearing the words. He was not a cruel king, but every monarch has a natural sense of crisis and insecurity about power.
After Zhang Yue expressed his position, the official said to Wang Anshi: "In that case, I will follow your instructions!"
