Song Beiyun

Chapter 693 Who Can Break the Sunny November 11, Six Years?

The court hall is extremely quiet these days, everyone is silently bowing their heads and doing their own things, not even daring to show their air.

Prime Minister Ding came back the day before yesterday, and the first thing he did after he came back was roll call one by one. The faces of those named were all pale before they entered the cabinet, and their expressions were indifferent when they left the cabinet.

Everyone kept silent about what Ding Xiang had talked with them, but everyone had a tacit reluctance to ask.

Of course they know that the person who is called to talk is basically nailed to that damn Song Beiyun's little black book. Although he has never shown up, the hearts of the court officials can always be haunted by a pair of eyes staring at him The feeling that makes them creepy.

And that's why they are quiet these days, they dare not and can't make any more waves, because if they really make any more waves now, a confession can send them to the [-]th level of hell.

In the court, it can be said that everyone is in danger, walking on thin ice, even the most out-of-the-ordinary people have now died down.

The matter did not cause much disturbance, but a group of deputies and agents were disposed of. The charges were not too serious.

But the hearts of the bosses at all levels are very clear. This is the warning given by the top. If anyone treats this as a favor and is arrogant, next time there will be free blood steamed buns for people to dip in the law field outside the city gate Healed.

So people from the new school or the old school stopped at once, while Zhao Xiang raised his head from a pile of history books and looked at the subordinates who came to plead for mercy.

"You and I have been with me for more than ten years, but I never thought you could do such a thing. If you don't obey the law, you will die, Zhong Pu."

And the person whose name was mentioned by him knelt down in front of Zhao Xiang: "I beg Mr. Xiangguo to be merciful...speak a few words of kindness for me at Ding Xiang."

"A few nice words? How do you ask the old man to tell you this? Ding Xiang hasn't found you yet, because he cares about the old man's face. It's fine if the old man doesn't speak up. If you do, you will die." Zhao Xiang shook his head and said: "Even if Ding If the Prime Minister spared you, Song Beiyun will definitely not forgive you. As a servant of the Ministry of Officials, he has been corrupted by his subordinates. It is heinous!"

At that moment, Zhongpu was sobbing, and swore repeatedly that he would reform himself, as long as he could save his life, he would never even step into the officialdom again.

"I know your temperament, and I know that you have no choice but to do so. But the state owns the law, and now the sword is pointed at the bureaucracy, what do you let me do?" Zhao Xiang sighed: "But because you have been under me for many years, Let me show you a way."

"Zhongpu obeys Xiangguo's arrangement in everything..."

Zhao Xiang leaned on the wheelchair and sighed: "This time the involvement is very wide, and it will not be appeased if you don't punish a group of courtiers, but at this time the court is in the midst of employing people, and you usually have nothing to criticize. He said he must die. However, on the surface, the person in charge of this matter is Ding Xiang, but the person who decides to wait for you is someone else. Now that you are crying at this old man, it is better to go to the door, admit it calmly, and then send you Everyone who knows will confess."

"Ah...this...Xiangguo, didn't this kill the students? Those first-rank and second-rank officials, students...students can't afford it."

Zhao Xiang smiled lightly, and rolled his wheelchair to the window to look out: "Besides, there is no other way. If the old man guesses correctly, if the old man is protecting you, the old man will also be responsible for sitting down. Then Song Beiyun has always resorted to means Cruel, anyone who stands in the way of his reform is an enemy, and this old man is no exception."

"He... how dare he?"

"Do you want to take a gamble?" Zhao Xiang said with a smile, "Do you dare?"

dare?How dare you, if you were really that kind, you wouldn't be crying in front of your old superior today. Now that Zhao Xiang is showing him the way, he also understands in his heart that there is no way out other than to take the initiative to confess.

But he was still afraid, because as long as he fell into it, a group of dignitaries and high officials would be implicated. At that time, whether his life could be saved would be a big problem.

How could he not know the cruelty of political struggle, sometimes a word and a look are enough to kill a person.

On the other side of Ding Xiang, he interviewed some key personnel, but he knew that there were still giant crocodiles that had sunk below the water and failed to surface.

The energy of these giant crocodiles is so great that they can shake the foundation of the country at every turn. None of the royal family members, top dignitaries, and important officials in the court can be moved by him.

Just because he can't move doesn't mean no one can.

"What should I do now?"

Several nobles gathered together and were secretly discussing countermeasures. They were sitting on pins and needles now, because Ding Xiang asked many people to interview, and they didn't know who among them would shake out their top group.

So now they all look extremely flustered.

"The court is really deceiving people too much. We don't participate in the government anymore, so why do we have to push each other so hard? Back then, when I was fighting for the country, I promised prosperity and wealth, but now I want to use this as a trick!"

Mr. Han slapped the table heavily, his anger was visible to the naked eye.

"So what if you slapped our brother on the table? Now let's see how to deal with it on the other side."

The other side they are talking about is people like grand masters and grand masters who are idle in the court. Although they have no real power in the court and are not the same people as Ding Xiang and Yan Shu who are in power now, they have many followers and the entire court They all have their eyes and ears, and they can get more information than military commander Xungui.

But this time the military generals obviously overestimated these vain ministers, because after Ding Xiang talked, they also started to run around like headless chickens.Although they kept looking for people to ask what Ding Xiang had talked to them, the problem was that even if those people told the truth, they would not believe it, because those disciples and grandchildren all said "Ding Xiang didn't say anything".

Can this be believed?

So the court appeared to be calm on the surface, but in private, there was a lot of undercurrents. Many forces were secretly catching the inner ghosts, wondering who would betray him.

"You come to me? You go to Ding Xiang, see if Ding Xiang will give you a chance to be a good person."

Song Beiyun flicked his sleeves and paced back and forth in front of the hall, losing his temper at the official servant: "Zhongpu, Zhongpu, we are from the same township, and when I first arrived in the Imperial City Division, I was grateful for your care. What do you want me to do now? Say? Look at the stupid things you did!"

Whether to take care of or not to take care of is actually a cliché, anyway, the only intersection between the two is Luzhou.But at this time, even the relationship between the two ancestors who were brothers-in-law 500 years ago must be pulled out, otherwise it is really difficult to be alone.

"That's it." Song Beiyun sighed, "I know you can't help yourself, but the laws of the country are not merciful, do you understand that?"

"I understand...Gong Ming, you have to help me, brother, I really have nowhere to go this time."

Song Beiyun rubbed his temples and sat on the chair: "Who are you online? I don't need you to write a confession, just tell me so I can prepare."

How could Zhongpu refuse at this time, he said all the names he could know, and Song Beiyun was shocked when he heard the names of these people.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Gongming, it's already at this time, how dare I interrupt the conversation." Zhong Pu propped his hands on his knees, and tears flowed out: "I have an old man and a young child, and my mother is an octogenarian. , but the children are not adults yet. Gong Ming, I don’t want to die.”

Song Beiyun waved his hand: "Brother Zhongpu, you can go back first and act as if you have never been here before. I will arrange the rest."

"Then...then I will rely entirely on you, Gongming."

After seeing off the crying servant, Song Beiyun's expression slowly changed from serious to smiling, and then he burst out laughing.

"Smile fart."

Zuo Rou came out from behind: "When will I go back to Chang'an, I can't wait to clean up the shitty Beihai Navy."

Song Beiyun glanced at her, looked at her swollen belly and the snacks she was holding in her hand, thought for a moment and said: "Anyway, you have to wait until the child is older, otherwise, you can feed the child in these two thousand miles. Can you bear it? Don't let something happen on the way. "

"There are so many things to do." Zuo Rou turned back to the room shyly.

After dinner, Song Beiyun took a letter and handed it to the guard at the door: "Go, pass the letter to Wei Guogong, and invite him to come over."

The official positions of the Song Dynasty are actually a bit messy after the reform. Naturally, there is nothing to say about a first-class Duke like Ding Guogong, and he is a prince at the top.But because the official reform needs to appease a group of people, many of the original low-level nobles now break the rules and mention their father-in-law. In other words, Zhao Xing used the same routine as his grandfather to let them drop their military power.

But here lies the problem. Under the influence of the old military system, the influence of this group of people is there. Even though they have no military power on the surface, they still have a great influence on the military and politics in various places.

This can be said to be a small mistake in the reform, and these people have naturally become the biggest obstacle to the military reform.

After Wei Guogong received the letter, he maintained his arrogance in the army, tore up Song Beiyun's letter on the spot, and said, "If you want to come, Song Beiyun will come in person, and he deserves me to see him?".

On the night when he tore up the letter paper, he was suddenly secretly arrested by the Imperial City Secretary who broke in, and he disappeared as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Then the second urging letter was sent to Guo Guogong on the second morning of Wei Guogong's disappearance.He didn't know anything about Wei Guogong at the moment, so he naturally dealt with the letter in the same way.

But at noon when he was drinking with his friends in Baohe Building, he only went to the toilet once and never appeared again.

At this moment, those nobles realized that the problem was a bit serious. They didn't know why the two father-in-laws disappeared, but they knew why the two men disappeared.Know better who made them disappear.

Launch a mutiny?The military power of the entire imperial city is in the hands of King Fu, and the people of the Beihai Navy have become middle-level officers in the barracks, and now they can't do mutiny even if they want to.

Force the palace?The emperor is not there, and there is only one empress in the entire imperial city, and the empress is still the daughter of an important official, she is considered one of her own, so we can't arrest her, right?It's useless to offend the Sichuan and Chongqing warlords.

What's more, the guards of the imperial city are personally in charge of Song Beiyun. Can their servants and guards fight against the [-]-step armor and Vulcan Battalion resident in his mother's imperial city?

Just in the evening, a letter was suddenly passed to Zhao Guogong. After Zhao Guogong received the letter, he felt that his breathing was not smooth.

He secretly handed the letter to Han Gong, and the content of the letter was also very simple, nothing more than an invitation to the government for a talk.

"Song Beiyun!"

Han Han held the letter tightly, looked at his old friend beside him: "This Song Beiyun is really arrogant!"

"Brother, what should I do now? Should I go or not?"

Han Guogong pursed his lips and failed to give an answer for a long while, but after turning around a few times, he said, "Go, see Lord Fu. The Lord will definitely make the decision for us! To arrest Duke Guo privately, this Song Beiyun is too rampant !"

The two gathered a few more people, and went directly to see King Fu, regardless of whether Lord Fu would see them or not, they meant that as long as Lord Fu didn't see them, they would stay at the door all day.

King Fu naturally wanted to see them, and after they met King Fu, they began to complain, talking about their friendship back then, and their life and death, with tears streaming down their faces.

But as they talked, the topic started to drift in another direction. The more they talked, the angrier they became, and finally they simply accused Song Beiyun of crimes.

"How could he be like this... How could he be like this! They are all dignified princes, who have died for the Song Dynasty. How can he treat them like this? Isn't this looking down on us soldiers, isn't it looking down on you, the prince? "

Sitting on it, King Fu felt that Song Beiyun had gone too far. It was really embarrassing for him to do things like this. King Fu was also from the army, so he was a little more angry when he was accused like this again.

"My lord understands, I'll go and investigate tomorrow."

And here it is said to find out what happened, that night Zhao Guogong was secretly arrested again, and he didn't say anything about saving face for King Fu.

In the early morning of the next day, when King Fu found out about this, he felt a thump in his heart. He immediately put on his clothes, took the golden mace and charged at Song Beiyun.

But on the way, Fu Wang seemed to have prepared in his heart. He knew that the boy would not be able to wait any longer and started to start. I am afraid that this military reform will be accomplished overnight by taking advantage of this wave of east wind. Whoever stands in the way will be considered an enemy.

King Fu was not afraid of him, but he didn't want to blush with his apprentice and son-in-law because of this incident. He just looked back and thought that the military reform had been delayed for a long time, but no matter what, he couldn't use such a dirty trick. ah!

When he arrived, Song Beiyun seemed to have been prepared, and even brewed tea for him, which was Biluochun, King Fu's favorite.

"Do you still take this king seriously?" King Fu didn't drink tea at all, but just questioned him.

"My lord." Song Beiyun replied with a smile, "Have you ever read the report from Yushitai?"

"See, how is it?"

"Oh, what does the prince think?"

King Fu paused and was at a loss for words. From a local tax collector to a king in the middle of the court, everyone was collecting money. Is this reform a reform?

"Really." Song Beiyun picked up the purple sand pot and took a sip: "It is true that the direct misappropriation and embezzlement is no longer the same as before, but the money has been collected a lot. Has the reform really succeeded? Don't stop thinking at the root Think, isn't it just a joke. This knife must be cut, my lord."

"So your first stab is to kill me?"

Chapter 694: On November 11, 10th Year

Fu Wang was actually very angry in his heart. He never expected that the person he trained would finally put a knife on his head on this day.

Not only that, this man is also his daughter's husband-in-law and grandson's father, but today he did such a thing.

"Those are heroes who have gone through life and death for the country."

"Has the country forgotten them?" Song Beiyun replied with a firm and fearless face: "They could have enjoyed wealth forever, who has ever heard of a family being paid according to the head, isn't this the country's greatest promise to them? "

King Fu was at a loss for words for a while. He sat there without speaking for a long time. He just lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, but he heard Song Beiyun say: "I don't do anything for a month, and my salary is a thousand. Isn't the country supporting them? Oh, very If you want to be extravagant and lustful, who can blame it. Besides, whether they are meritorious officials and whether they are corrupt or not are two different things."

Song Beiyun's words gave Fu Wang a pause in his heart. He knew that there might be no room for maneuver in this matter. All he could do while sitting there was sigh deeply. After all, he failed to take good care of these old brothers.

"My lord, you only need to say that I did one thing wrong, and I will immediately throw away my hands and return to Chang'an, and I will never set foot in Jinling City again within 30 years."

One sentence from Song Beiyun made King Fu anxious too: "How dare you! You are a self-respecting soldier!"

"Someone has to protect my last piece of blood in the Great Song Dynasty." Song Beiyun replied in the same unhurried manner: "I know that the building is going to collapse, and since I can't turn the tide, can't I gather momentum to rebuild it?"

Fu Wang's eyes slowly closed, he took a deep breath, and finally gave in.

"Let's show some sympathy." King Fu whispered, "They are all my old subordinates after all."

"It's natural, honor and honor are more expensive after all." Song Beiyun said softly: "That's right, my lord. After the official family returns to Beijing, the lord might as well propose to live in Chang'an. It's more or less a help." , if she always stays alone in Fuzhou, Jin Ling'er is always worried."

Hearing this, King Fu felt desolate, the power in his hand was taken away after all.He can be sure that if he disagrees, the kid in front of him will definitely get rid of all his old subordinates, and once he agrees, from now on, the government of the world will never have anything to do with him, and he will eventually walk out of the center of power .

"My lord, don't be sad. As long as you are still in this position, the nobles will regard you as the sky, and put you between morality and the code of law. You don't care or don't protect it. Some things must be done." I have experienced it. The military reform has not been implemented for two years, so whoever sees it is the same thing.” Song Beiyun stood up with his hands on the table and said: “Now that the comprehensive reform has begun, a line can be pulled out. Isn’t this a joke with so many upper-class nobles. Since we are going to take this path, why not take it more thoroughly and clearly?”

There is still a haze on Fu Wang's face. He has difficulties in his heart, but he has no good way to deal with the huge waves of reform. It is strange that the days of peace have been long. Being fascinated by these random flowers, doing such things, they are now going to be caught out as a model, and it just so happens that they are different from the officials with real power in the court. They have no real power in their hands and are high-ranking people, which is exactly in line with Song Beiyun. That's the typical course of action for a tiger tree.

This time, it's really the king of heaven and I can't protect them.

"Where are the people you arrested now?"

"Dali Temple." Song Beiyun said without hesitation, "And I have already found someone to secretly inform those lords, while the lords are here."

"you!!!"

King Fu immediately stood up and walked out.He never expected that this bastard even planned on himself!

He revealed the location of those princes. As far as the bloodiness of those nobles is concerned, this matter is naturally unbearable. Based on King Fu's understanding of these bastards, they will attack Dali Temple.

But where is Dali Temple?That is the center of the country's code of law, representing the dignity of the lowest level of the Song Dynasty, so it's okay to attack this place?It was not only Ding Xiang's natal base, but also the most noble place in the entire Song Dynasty except the imperial palace.

Can there be good fruit to eat in shock?

Fu Wang, who was going out, sat in the carriage and thought about it more and more. He didn't know when he couldn't see through the kid's methods. It is the kind that the relatives do not recognize. As he said, whoever blocks the reform is the enemy.

King Fu didn't dare to think about what would happen if the royal family was unwilling to reform, but he was sure that Song Beiyun would have no problem as long as he wanted to overthrow the Song Dynasty, even if he didn't borrow the power of the Liao Kingdom.

But not long after Fu Wang left, Ding Guogong came to the door angrily. He was different from Fu Wang. Ding Guogong had a bad temper these days after he knew his daughter was pregnant, but now Song Beiyun did something like this How could he let this dog go.

"You are so courageous to detain the Duke! Do you want to arrest the old man too?"

"If Duke Ding breaks the law." Song Beiyun cupped his hands and said, "Of course, ordinary crimes won't happen, as long as it doesn't hinder the reform. I can even bend the law for your personal gain."
