Chapter 484 Sewer Secret Path
Zhao Yulin was annoyed by what he saw. He took the seat card from Ke Zhenxie and shouted in a deep voice: Your name has been called. You must respond immediately if you are called. If you don't respond, it will be deemed that you have not come. Don't come in the future.
Those ministers were completely confused and looked at each other in bewilderment.
He turned to look at Yangjin, and the beautiful woman, already ready with pen and ink, nodded at him.
After Zhao Yulin read them one by one, he found that thirteen people did not respond, and thirty-one people were standing and did not sit down.
He told Fan Zhong that all the gentlemen were present, so they should discuss in public what to do with those who were absent.
Damn, Zhao Qier is handling the case on the spot and has to deal with these officials immediately. The officials sitting in the hall suddenly felt nervous. Oh my God, it’s a good thing that I followed the rules and didn’t get caught by this man.
Fan Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs: The news of this meeting had been sent out long ago, and it was specially scheduled for the afternoon meeting, which has given you enough time.
If they don't come, it's intentional.
Zhao Yulin immediately said: Since they are not coming on purpose, it means they look down on the state affairs of our new Song Dynasty. In this case, these thirteen people will not be accepted. He suggested that the Ministry of Personnel issue a boat ticket to send them back to Liangzhe. How about that?
Lao Cao agreed immediately. Mr. Ding and Mr. Li looked at them in confusion and nodded in agreement.
Fan Gong immediately asked Yang Jin to record this matter and sent these people back without ever employing them again.
The courtiers in the hall were stunned. The new Song Dynasty was an open government that kept its word and delivered immediately. Everyone was worried.
It seems that the road to becoming an official in Chengdu is not smooth.
Damn, this is the Third Young Master taking action.
I heard that the third young master's job in Jiankang Prefecture can be described in one word: "ruthless." If he catches someone he doesn't like, he'll break their legs. Don't let him target you.
Zhao Yulin pointed at the thirty-one people who had been standing and not sitting down and had been asked to stand on his left and right and said: You all have worked in the court, but you are not following the rules and doing what you want. Do you think this is a teahouse or a market?
Do we really have to wait for the official of Mobei to sit in front of you before he kowtows and kneels and obeys the rules obediently?
The New Song Dynasty emphasizes unity between officials and the people, and equality for all. This means that everyone is equal under the premise of strictly abiding by the rules. Asking you all to sit down is a manifestation of equal discussion.
You all refuse to sit down and are still standing there talking and making irresponsible remarks. Aren't you simply disrespecting the rules?
"What does the Ministry of Personnel think should be the punishment?" Zhao Yulin looked at Mr. Fan expressionlessly.
The old man already knew how he governed those ignorant and fearless old men and young men in Jiankang Prefecture. He immediately said that refusing to sit down was a violation of the rules, and standing and making loud noises was a contempt for superiors. There were two former kings sitting here, which was a great disrespect to the current king and deserved to be beheaded .
Damn, he’s going to be beheaded.
When those who were standing heard the characterization made by the Minister of Personnel, Fan Zhong, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
The old man deliberately kept the question in suspense. After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly: How about I deduct three months' salary as punishment?
The ministers standing in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. The old man holding the jade board wanted to come out to explain, but was held back by the officials on his left and right. They whispered that we came here to work and get paid, and if you don't want to make a living in the New Song Dynasty, just refuse the official title later and don't ruin their good fortune.
The gentlemen on the stage are already nodding their heads.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said: Okay, let’s do it.
He suggested to everyone to take a break, and after rearranging their seats, they all sat down to talk.
Then he stood up and invited Lao Cao, Ding Gong and others to sit down in the small hall at the side and have some tea.
Fan Zhong laughed and said: Only Yulin brother can calm these people, I just can't say it. Cao Youwen laughed at him for not wanting to offend people. Asked him what he was afraid of, this is the new Song Dynasty, why should he be afraid of those who are quick to talk.
Mr. Ding said cheerfully that these people had just arrived in Chengdu and did not know the rules, making a fool of themselves. We had to teach them a lesson.
Zhao Yulin told them that the bad apples had been eliminated and he would not attend the next meeting. He asked the old men to teach these fools a lesson.
Fan Zhong disagreed and insisted that Zhao Yulin must stay.
Cao Youwen heard that there were a lot of things going on in Yulin, and he was not afraid, as Cao would be watching over everything.
Zhao Yulin said goodbye and left with a smile.
The seats in the hall had been adjusted, and thirteen seats had been removed. The thirty-one people who had been standing and making noise had been told to sit down at the back.
Yangjin shouted: It’s time to start a meeting.
Everyone immediately sat down in their seats, quietly waiting for Fan Zhong and the others to enter...
Zhao Yulin went to the office of the academy, where Lord Qiao was discussing with Wuyong and Zhang Xiangyang how to discipline these officials from Lin'an.
He said to the old man with a smile: We have all gone to Taijian Hall, and you still want to go to the lecture hall?
Old man, please take care of yourself.
Qiao Xingjian said with a smile that he had nothing to do and it was a good opportunity to wake up these sleepy people.
Zhao Yulin nodded and said to Zhang Xiangyang: Since this group of officials have come to our academy, they are scholars and students.
There is no distinction between students of different ages or genders. Once you enter our academy, you must abide by the rules of the academy. If anyone still disobeys discipline, he or she will be punished according to the rules of the academy, and the Ministry of Personnel will not place him or her if he or she does not graduate.
Zhao Yulin knew that he had to give the academy the privilege of governing this group of people, otherwise they would think that entering the academy was just a trip for fun.
Anyway, the Ministry of Personnel has already hired him, so it doesn't matter whether he studies or not. He can also find a young lady as a concubine, so there is no point in that.
He chatted with the old scholars for a long time and then went home. Yangjin and Zhao Feiyan were already waiting for him in the study.
Yangjin told him that Shunfengsi found out that three officials from Liangzhe were undercover agents planted by the Mongol Empire, and arrested them on the spot, which scared these officials from Liangzhe very much. In full view of everyone, the captain of the Shunfengsi went up and pinned the three men to the ground, breaking their left legs and right hands with cracking sounds.
Some of the timid ones even wet their pants, and the hall was filled with the smell of feces.
Ding Gong was so angry that he scolded them and then dispersed.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said: It seems that this training session has to be held again.
He suggested to Zhao Feiyan that the king should go and give the speech in person. On the one hand, it would show that our new Song Dynasty attaches importance to these officials from Liangzhe, and on the other hand, it would demonstrate the king's majesty.
Zhao Feiyan said that she was not interested in showing off her power, but that these ministers were crucial in stabilizing Liangzhe as soon as possible.
Yangjin said with a laugh, "Brother asked me to go, so let me go. After hitting them with the hammer several times today, they should be much more sober and won't dare to do anything rash anymore."
Zhao Yulin told her: These people have been slaves in Lin'an for so long that their nerves have become abnormal. They don't even want to stand up after kneeling down, just like a loud drum needs a heavy hammer to hit it. They just want to hear the emperor's instructions. Our king is here, and he is worth ten thousand people.
Zhao Feiyan glanced at him and was thinking about how to teach her minister a lesson.
In Lin'an, the Minister of War Miao Gui has already arrived and is drinking with the generals to celebrate the victory.
Early in the morning, after Guo Jing led his troops into the city, the female gang leader also arrived with the rear team. The Jinghu Army defeated Yang Daquan's troops and forced them to retreat into the government office.
Shi's son and Yang Daquan converted the former imperial city into a government office. The walls of the imperial city were very high, and Guo Jing was reluctant to fire cannons to destroy the well-built houses, so he stared at the heavy palace gate without knowing what to do.
Just when they were getting anxious, a eunuch dressed as a palace servant came to report that he could lead the way through the sewer and directly to the emperor's bedroom.
The eunuch proudly said that he had discovered the emperor coming out of the sewer to seek pleasure in Tianshui Lane, and he had secretly followed and traced the secret passage into the palace, which was absolutely correct. He was just asking the general to give him a reward of 1,000 strings of cash, because he had not been served by the emperor for several years and had lost his livelihood, and was begging for a living .
When the Beggar Gang disciples saw this guy wearing tattered palace maid clothes and coming up with bad ideas, they picked up the dog-beating stick and pretended to hit him and chase him away, shouting at him to get out of the way.
The female gang leader had heard a lot about the romantic affairs of officials in previous dynasties, so she was in the mood. She ignored Guo Jing's dissuasion and personally brought thirty thin disciples with first-class martial arts skills to give it a try.
The beggar eunuch is still asking for the reward. He won't lead the way without it.
The female gang leader smiled and said that as long as we find the right way, how can we lose the reward? But one thousand is too much. How can we shamelessly ask the government for the reward?
I only give you 100 strings of cash, it’s up to you whether to go or not.
You didn't see we have cannons, and you pissed me off. I'll use my cannons to flatten the imperial city and still be able to go in.
The guy immediately got scared and muttered that one hundred is one hundred, it is better than getting nothing all the time.
In this way, the female gang leader and her gang, under the guidance of the eunuch, entered a luxurious brothel, lifted up a large flower bed, crawled underground and groped in front, and a large number of Shenwei Army soldiers followed behind. Not long after, they opened three secret doors in succession and entered a gorgeous bedroom, in which lived Yang Daquan's wife.
Haha, this guy actually lived in the previous emperor’s bedroom openly and dreamed of becoming the emperor.
Things developed very smoothly. The female gang leader led everyone to dominate the center of the palace, just like Sun Wukong getting into Princess Iron Fan's belly. How could Yang Daquan bear it? The Lin'an government office was soon occupied by the Shenwei Army.
At this time, the Minister of War Miao Gui arrived with 10,000 elite troops from Jianghai. The Shenwei Army worked together to wipe out the remnants of the rebels and held a banquet in the government office to celebrate their success.
Miao Gui learned about the Jinghu Army's attack and wanted to toast the Old East Evil and the Old Beggar, but the female gang leader and Guo Jing discovered that the two old men had disappeared long ago.
The female gang leader went to ask Elder Jian and found out that the old East Evil had already left the city with the old beggar, probably returning to Peach Blossom Island to recuperate.
Miao Gui felt very sorry and raised his glass to toast Guo Jing and his wife and Gang Leader Jian to thank the Beggars' Gang for their help.
He told Gang Leader Jian that all the Beggar Gang brothers who died in this battle will be compensated according to the pensions given to the fallen soldiers of the Shenwei Army. The injured Beggar Gang disciples will all be treated by the military doctors of the Shenwei Army, and those who are injured and disabled will be cared for as disabled soldiers.
The female gang leader was delighted and took Gang Leader Jian's hand to thank Minister Miao for his meticulous arrangements.
After drinking a lot, everyone dispersed.
Miao Gui felt that the female leader acted decisively and was very suitable for governing Liangzhe, so he immediately wrote a report to the Central Court in Chengdu when he returned.
