Song Beiyun

"Master Song, we are officials from Jinling who came to investigate, how can you..."

Before they finished speaking, the guards outside rushed up, and a bundle of hemp rope was sent to the carriage, and the "Master Ma" was also brought along with it.

On the carriage, the two review officials were furious and said that they must tell the officials about Song Beiyun's evil deeds when they go back, and that what awaits him will be a just punishment.

"I advise you two."

"Master Ma", who had been resting in the carriage with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "You can report Mr. Song's behavior on business, but you must not add fuel to it. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."

After all, the person who is the envoy, although he does not appear to be so smart on weekdays, has much more experience than these stunned young men.

Now is an important juncture in the management of Xixia. If someone troubles Mr. Song behind his back, let alone what will happen to Mr. Song, even the officials will not tolerate him.

Especially if this group of people really heard that Master Song Song was planning to rebel, it would be over.Because as long as there is intentional rebellion, they must return to Beijing for investigation.

At this juncture, Mr. Song was brought back to the capital, and the officials would not have a ghost if they didn't kill everyone at Yushitai.

The people of Song Dynasty longed for regaining their homeland and restoring the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How could they stop because of these few hopping mosquitoes?

It is true that Mr. Song's actions do not conform to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, but Chang'an is a place where special affairs are handled. It can be exchanged for a few lives.

In this way, Xixia, as the person concerned, knew in his heart that if Mr. Song was half delayed, the matter would quickly disappear, and Da Song would have no reason to send soldiers into the territory of Xixia.

"Who are you? I am entrusted by the emperor as an imperial envoy. How can I allow my ministers to despise Tianyan like this? I will definitely read this book of Song Beiyun."

"Go for it, go for it."

"Master Ma" looked helpless and shook his head silently.He is also a person with a special status now. After returning, he will go through a long period of snow. When the management of Xixia is over, he will be able to use his original status again.

It's just that these young men don't listen to persuasion, so what awaits them may be the horror of life, and may even implicate their superiors.

But it's no one's fault, after all, what Yushitai wanted was such dead-headed people, but their dead-headed people were really not suitable for Chang'an and Song Beiyun.

And just as they walked out of Chang'an City, Xia Song came to Song Beiyun's mansion and waited. He was going to return to Beijing together after the investigation was over, but unexpectedly...Master Song drove the investigator away up.

"Master Song." Xia Song bowed to Song Beiyun after he came out, "I heard..."

"The imperial envoy of Yushitai has been driven away, right?" Song Beiyun waved his hand: "This group of people is going to be audited now, won't this add to my confusion? It's really going to be something wrong or they'll find out something, it's going to be a big trouble , what we are doing is a shameful thing."

Xia Song smiled bitterly and said, "Master Song, I..."

"Oh... that's right." Song Beiyun patted his head: "Hurry up and go back together, don't eat my bag, I'll arrange a carriage for you right now."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Song. After I go back, I will try to get Yushitai to suppress this matter."

"Well, go ahead and see you next time in Jinling."

"See you in Jinling."

Chapter 648: Sunny December 12, Five Years

"My lord, that's what Song Beiyun said. He had someone tie Xu Mao and me back to Jinling!"

When the imperial envoy heard the reports from the two censors, he stroked his beard and sat there silently for a long time, suffering from a headache.

This incident really broke the rules, but can it be understood?In fact, it is understandable, but whether to report or not is a big problem. If you don't report, someone will participate in Yushitai's book of favoritism and fraud.But if it is reported, who can bear the responsibility?

"My lord, this is a memorial written by Xu Mao and I."

The two men sent the memorial to Doctor Yu Shi. He flipped through it for a while, and sure enough, as he expected, the right to play the matter let them write down the fact that Song Beiyun dispatched [-] soldiers and horses and did not cooperate with the review. The crime of deliberate treason and deception.

After he finished reading, he threw the memorial on the table: "Do you two know what will happen if this memorial is presented?"

Those two people looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads one after another.

"The head fell to the ground." The imperial envoy pointed to the two of them: "It's not Song Beiyun's, it's yours."

"But my lord, I'm waiting for everything to be true, Guochao must be reasonable."

The Imperial Envoy nodded his head, he was originally from a great Confucian background, and his self-cultivation was excellent.If it was someone else, he would have been furious, but facing these two young chickens who had just entered the rivers and lakes, he was still calm. Instead, he sat there and took a few pieces of fragrant tea and chewed them in his mouth.

"You all know that it is the privilege of the censor to play rumors, but you don't know that the great authority is only to rely on the prestige of the official. Where does the prestige of the official come from?" "It comes from the vastness of land and resources, from the strength of the country, and from the expansion of territory. As long as Chang'an has not rebelled on its own, as long as it can expand the territory for the Song Dynasty, let alone sending troops without authorization, even if it is against the order. The officials will gladly accept it. The two of you report this matter, Song Beiyun plotting rebellion? Well, according to the law, those who are suspected of treason must enter Beijing according to the order. If they resist the order, they will be regarded as treason. So will Song Beiyun come? Well, the delayed battle opportunity, can the two of you hold up against your head? Not to mention the two of you, even this old man can't stand it."

Anyone who is an old fellow knows this matter well. Song Beiyun is very happy to fight a war, because every time they fight a battle, they can get all kinds of generous dividends. Where do these dividends come from?Naturally, it didn't come out of thin air, it could only be called from the battlefield.

If these two little bastards really reported this matter, would they be stalking?Well, after Song Beiyun came, he would definitely look good to Yushitai with his nature, but this time the good looks might not be as simple as smashing a house, after all, it is a taboo for military strategists to adjust the commander just before the battle.

It's okay to say that he won, at most, Song Beiyun was playing tricks and asking for an explanation.But what if you lose?Naturally, the scapegoat was to be blamed on the imperial censor, and the dividends of the officials were gone. Who could they turn to for their grievances?Naturally, it was Yushitai.At that time, not to mention that the heads of these two little things cannot be kept, I am afraid that even my own old bones will be dismantled and sucked by those green-eyed things.

Therefore, the life and death of this notebook cannot be submitted.But how to maintain the justice and strictness of Yushitai?

As an old minister, the Royal Envoy must have had a plan for this kind of thing. He first spread out the folders on the table, then took a new copy and put it on the table, copied and corrected it, and put the things down. Throwing: "Look."

The two rookies picked up the booklet and read it. It clearly wrote about Song Beiyun's arbitrarily mobilizing soldiers and beheading the soldiers before they were executed, but blurred the matter of him driving away the assessment envoys and gave an ambiguous statement. It is said that "the assessment cannot be carried out normally due to busy business affairs", which completely removes the so-called crime of intentional rebellion and deceiving the emperor, without even mentioning it.

And below, Song Beiyun's conduct score for this year was directly reset to zero, while the administrative score was not yet evaluated because of his busy schedule, waiting for the official review.

"The Yushitai should be fair and honest, but not that brainless reckless man. You wait for the rumors to be true, but rumors are rumors, and assumptions are assumptions. Is there even one person in Chang'an City who says that Song Beiyun intends to rebel?" The doctor continued Education said: "The meaning of the rumor is that after the officials know about it, I will come back to share the worries of the officials, not that the officials don't know, and I will find trouble for the officials."

After the two novice censors read the memorial carefully, they couldn't help but admire the five bodies of the doctor censor. Although some things were just deleted, the general content was still unchanged, but such a fact not only highlighted the censor platform. The impartiality and helplessness of the people, and all the branches outside the festival were pruned away, leaving only Song Beiyun's own problems.

As for whether there is a problem with him, there is indeed a problem, which is indisputable.But this problem will not affect the Xixia battle situation, let alone link to the Supreme Code.

At most, it would be to fine his salary and seize his official position. After all, he himself was on the lookout, and he committed another crime this year, so there is basically no possibility that he will not be punished.

But the disposal belongs to the disposal, even if he is allowed to be a prison officer, all affairs of Chang'an have to be handled in the prison office.

Being an official is nothing more than giving an explanation to the top, the bottom, the colleagues, and the world. Yu Shitai only needs to give this explanation. As for what will happen in the end, it is not their responsibility. Seek truth from facts, everything is written in the rules book.

"The Yushitai is not afraid of trouble, but you don't want to cause trouble that you shouldn't. As for Song Beiyun kidnapping you back, don't mention it again." The doctor envoy repeatedly ordered: "It's just a matter of wartime."

"Yes……"

On the second day, the revised memorial was submitted to the court. The memorial that was supposed to cause an uproar became a mediocre memorial after deleting a dozen words.

Even the civil and military officials were a little numb after hearing this memorial. After all, Song Beiyun, if he didn't commit some crimes, he could still be called Song Beiyun?

However, it shouldn't be necessary to deploy troops privately, but since he is in charge of important military and political affairs in Chang'an, there is nothing he can do about this kind of thing.

"Dear dear ones, everyone must have read the Chang'an Daily. The Xixia Kingdom captured my envoy and made my court officials ignorant of life and death. It is really abominable. Song Beiyun's use of Chang'an troops for this reason is not allowed by the law, but it is understandable."

At this time, the old Ding stood up at this moment. He has become the acting prime minister like Yan Shu and concurrently serves as the Minister of Dali Temple. Even Yan Shu's words are not as important as him.

"Last year, Song Beiyun was already in charge of inspection. Now that he makes a mistake again, it is absolutely unacceptable."

Zhao Xing frowned slightly: "Then Yiding Aiqing's opinion, how should I deal with it?"

"According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Song Beiyun should be deposed and exiled, but Song Beiyun's outstanding achievements in the past year should be promoted. According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Beiyun was originally a famed person, and now he should be the seventh-rank county magistrate."

Zhao Xing glanced at Yan Shu, Yan Shu lowered his head and remained silent, and all the officials did not argue.He suddenly understood in his heart that this group of people was sending Song Dog down the stairs again. The Qipin county magistrate should be the Qipin county magistrate. The official position is of no use to him.

"Officials, step forward." Zhao Xing called out coldly.

"The minister is here." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials bowed and said, "Please order from the official."

"Check it out, if there is a vacancy for the Qipin county magistrate, let Song Beiyun fill the vacancy."

"The minister obeys the order."

There is no fool in the world who can become a minister. The Song Dynasty is as big as it is, but there are only so many official positions. Where are there vacancies?

Oh no!According to the assessment, the county magistrate of Chang'an County has made outstanding achievements and worked hard last year, so he should be promoted.

No, there is a vacancy.

Of course, at this time, whoever mentions the matter of Chang'an Supervisory Equipment is also free, whoever has water in his head and is a waste that has grown up eating bran. Asking a question, "Who does Aiqing think is suitable for this supervisor?" That is, whoever mentions whose name will be cold from head to toe, let alone go to Chang'an to take up the post, even Jinling City may not be able to go out.

So after he finished answering Zhao Xing's words, he deliberately looked left and right to see if there was anyone who couldn't bear to stand up at this time.But it seemed that none of the people present were fuel-efficient lamps. Everyone stood there with their heads down. Those people who used to want to swallow each other alive are now like wooden stakes.

It seems that everyone understands in their hearts that although Chang'an is a fat job, it cannot be filled by any faction. Only the direct descendants of the royal family dare to reach out.

After lifting it up high and putting it down gently, Zhao Xing's expression changed, and he slapped a dragon chair hard and scolded: "Xixia's actions have insulted our country's character, so I can't be so lenient. I will personally issue a decree to reprimand if If people are not returned before the new year, my fifty thousand army is not a vegetarian."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xing got up with a domineering expression, and walked away.

With the sound of the servant next to him retreating from the court, all the officials went out one after another. At this time, there were many people around the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. They were all inquiring, but none of them were about Song Beiyun, but about this round of official evaluation. punitive.

As for Song Beiyun, who doesn't know yet, Chang'an county magistrate.Otherwise where else?Will this kind of person arrange for him to go to Liuzhou to be a county magistrate?Officials are not stupid, there are many people who can fight wars in the world, but there are not many people who can make money for the court while accepting victims of disasters and expanding territory at the same time.

It's a lie to say that you are jealous of the Chang'an policy, but people are smart, that place is not something you can play around with, and although you occasionally envy and envy Song Beiyun, he is really capable and he wears a pair of pants with the emperor, so it's okay to touch Isn't that bad guy out of his mind?

And Zhao Xing, who had already descended to court, was sitting in Nuanyu's side palace at the moment, letting his beloved concubine change clothes for him.

"If you want me to say, just destroy Xixia directly, why bother?"

"Shut up." Zhao Xing frowned: "How can you interrupt such things? Are all the scholar-bureaucrats in the world not as intelligent as you, a woman?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong...but I just don't understand."

"Books, don't read. Talk nonsense." Zhao Xing sighed and picked up his daughter who was circling around him: "By the way, your brother said that he would take the prince to Chang'an in the next year, and he will teach him."

"Okay!" Nuan Yu's eyes lit up at that moment: "He is a first-class talent in the world."

"Of course I know how powerful he is, I know better than anyone else." Zhao Xing sighed, "I just don't know how to explain it to the officials."

"Then I don't care, anyway, if the prince goes, we Niuniu will go too. I don't want my daughter to be ridiculed for being ignorant like me."

Zhao Xing sneered: "Hey, you still remember hating me."

Chapter 649: On December 12, five years, the sunny day will shift, and the full moon will lose money

"You, Song Beiyun, have been demoted."

After returning home, Duke Ding threw his hat on the table, sat in front of the table and said to Zuo Rou who was sleepy there.

"Huh?" Zuo Rou, who was drowsy, suddenly woke up: "Why?"

"The main thing is to transfer troops privately, it's a taboo." Ding Guogong took the tea handed over by the maid next to him: "He was supposed to be deposed, but Lao Ding found a step for him. He is now a seventh-rank county magistrate. .”

"Seventh Grade???" Zuo Rou got up immediately: "I'll go find him! How unreasonable."

"Ugh!"

Duke Ding wanted to stop Zuo Rou, who was in a hurry, but he couldn't stop him. He shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know when his girl's impulsive temper would be changed. Maybe it would be better if she became a mother in the future. Concubine Fu is average. When she was young, she was also a strange woman who rode a bay red horse and fought hard. Later, she became the prince's virtuous helper.

At this time, Qiao Yun who was next to him also wanted to go with Zuo Rou, but Duke Ding couldn't stop Zuo Rou, but he could stop Qiao Yun.

"Qiaoyun, stay here."

"Duke..." Qiao Yun raised her eyes and glanced at the back of the young lady who was about to disappear: "Miss, she..."

"Forget about her, isn't she a character who walks sideways in Jinling City?" Duke Ding pointed to the stool in front of him: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

"Um……"

Qiaoyun didn't know what to ask the Dingguo Guild, so she seemed a little nervous.But Duke Ding obviously saw her embarrassment, so he just took a sip of tea and said, "Don't panic, you grew up with Xiao Wan'er, seeing you is like seeing my own daughter."

"Thank you, Duke..."

"I haven't found a chance. Now I'll ask when I'm free." Duke Ding coughed, "Xiao Wan'er was not wronged in Chang'an, right? She's not smart enough, and she has a straight temper. I'm afraid of her..."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Miss... No one dares to bully Miss at home." Qiaoyun didn't know what expression to use: "She is the most doted on, and everything is done according to her temperament, and Miss These days are also different from the past, she is much more well-behaved."

"That's good." Duke Ding sighed, "I'm still a princess..."

Qiaoyun smiled awkwardly, after all there are even emperors over there, and even the emperors are like that, it’s not as good as a young lady who is sloppy...

"By the way, I heard that you brought a female barracks in Chang'an? Let me hear."

The thing about female soldiers has actually been recorded a long time ago. For example, there is a tradition of recording female soldiers in "The Benji of Xiang Yu".

But after all, women are still inferior to men in terms of strength. Over time, female soldiers gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Only some princesses and harem guards would choose female soldiers.

But hearing that there are also female soldiers in Chang'an and they were trained by his adopted daughter and apprentice, Duke Ding was naturally curious.

When Qiaoyun mentioned the female soldiers she had trained, her attitude was completely different from that of just now. She was originally a taciturn woman, but she suddenly became talkative in this regard.

First, I talked about the purpose of establishing female soldiers. In fact, female soldiers do not play a role on the battlefield, but play a huge role in the three aspects of logistics, medical care and assistance.

First of all, there is no doubt that female soldiers can boost morale.Moreover, the soldiers selected from Chang'an not only have to undertake combat tasks, but also disaster prevention and relief tasks. That is to say, in addition to fighting, when natural disasters occur, well-trained soldiers will arrive at the scene as soon as possible to fight disasters.

During the rescue process, female soldiers can deal with many problems that men cannot handle, such as cleaning the wounds and bodies of female wounded, and comforting children more effectively.

Moreover, compared with the carelessness of men, female soldiers are more careful, and their role is very obvious.For example, during the last Chang'an plague period, female soldiers played a huge role. In terms of comforting the people, female soldiers obviously have an advantage over male soldiers.In terms of maintaining law and order, the female soldiers in Chang'an are also in an important link.

Of course, the role of female soldiers does not stop there. After training, they can perform many tasks that men cannot complete and improve the status of women in Chang'an to a large extent.

Anyway, in terms of improving the status of women, Chang'an is definitely at the forefront of the world, because when Jinling was still considering whether women could take the imperial examination, Chang'an was the No. One of the government affairs yamen, one of the yamen, is a clerk, and it is a key training object.

"Actually, the female soldiers in Chang'an are not enrolled in the military, but a new project. It's called the police force."

"Police?"

"Warning and patrolling." Qiaoyun said seriously: "The main duty is to assist the government in controlling law and order. Additional tasks will be assigned during wartime."
