"I'll tell your Majesty that the old minister has an urgent report from Lingnan."

Another urgent report, and the few people in the hall were stunned. What happened to Lingnan? Why did they report one after another?

"Uncle Yong, who sent the urgent report?"

"It was an urgent report jointly sent by Di Qing and Wang Ning'an, the latest case about Lingnan."

Song Xiang, who was scolded and was ashamed, was urgently needed to fight back. When he heard the urgent report, he actually questioned: "As a senior official of the party, Di Qing should send the urgent report to the Political Affairs Hall, or directly to His Majesty. What is it to give it to you Kaifeng Prefecture, do you still understand the rules?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled faintly, "Song Gong, Di Qing and the others dare not give it to the Political Affairs Hall. Naturally, there are powerful ties to it. If you ask the subordinates to directly submit it to His Majesty, what's wrong?"

Zhao Zhen was too lazy to deal with Song Xiang. He was more concerned about what kind of case it was. Then Di Qing stopped following the rules.

"Uncle Yong, report it to me quickly."

"Abide by the order."

Ouyang Xiu handed the thick stack of things to Chen Lin, and the old eunuch passed it to Zhao Zhen.

Unfolded on the Longshu desk, Zhao Zhen looked carefully. Before long, the emperor's breathing became rapid and his fists clenched up unconsciously.

Song Xiang instinctively felt something was wrong, but he didn't know how to deal with it. He was frightened and he cursed Fu Bi in his heart. That guy was too cunning and he didn't come. Isn't this obvious that he wants to make himself look good?

Song Xiang was panicked, but Jia Changchao was proud and could not help but secretly happy. Unexpectedly, he took the risk of protecting Di Qing, but he succeeded. It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky, but he would implicate someone. He was not sure, so he could only secretly look at Ouyang Xiu. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xiu just lowered his head, let alone without saying a word, he didn't even have any expression.

Yaya, this big firecracker has also learned to remain silent, it is really outrageous!

When it comes to Ouyang Xiu, his heart is in chaos at this moment. Lingnan is about to collapse at a touch. Based on his understanding, he knows that it must be rotten and broken, and it is unbearable to hear and ask. But Ouyang Xiu could not have expected it. The actual situation is ten thousand times worse than he thought!

A dignified Song Dynasty prefect, the imperial court ordered an official to be corrupt and abused the law. He even served as a spy for the rebels and informed him. It would be strange if he didn't defeat the war!

Then Xu Yong confessed many things. In order to survive, he gave Sun Mian 500 taels of gold to the comforting envoy and Xiao Gu 300 taels of gold.

The most unforgettable thing is that these golds were actually given to him by Nong Zhigao!

If the officials were not foolish at the beginning and suppressed Nong Zhigao's request for incest, they would not have rebelled at all. On the contrary, Nong Zhigao had already agreed to the Song Dynasty that as long as they accepted the attachment, they would offer a thousand taels of gold and would pay tribute every year in the future.

As a result, just because I was worried about trouble, I pushed this matter, pushing it around and causing a huge mess.

Otherwise, reality is always more exciting than the novel. No matter how big the author has a big imagination, it is not as big as a group of people. Speaking of which, most of these people passed the imperial examination and had almost no idiots. As a result, a group of smart people gave the stupidest results, which is really ridiculous.

To sum up, it only contains eight words: shirk responsibility and shirk responsibility, and make profits blind!!!

...

After a long time, Zhao Zhen finally put down his confession and rubbed his eyes. What was strange was such a ridiculous thing. Zhao Zhen did not get angry, and he was even calmer than before.

"Grandpa Song, Jia Aiqing, you guys go back."

When these two people heard this, they seemed to have been electrocuted at the same time, but Song Xiang was frightened, while Jia Changchao was excited.

Both are important officials of the court, but Zhao Zhen’s title is different. The holy heart is so obvious. Song Xiang doesn’t know which leg he took, leaving the Chuigong Hall, and is in a state of despair. He doesn’t know what fate is waiting for him.

In the hall, there were only two people, Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu. After a long time of silence, Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Uncle Yong, do you know what I remembered?"

"I don't know." Ouyang Xiu answered honestly.

"Hahaha, I remembered what Wang Erlang said that time." Zhao Zhen stood up from his seat, stood with his hands behind his back, sighing very much, "First there were Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, and then An Lushan, and Shi Siming!"

Zhao Zhen suddenly slapped the table hard and roared loudly: "These are all the officials in Lingnan, from top to bottom, they are all rotten. They take my salary and eat the people's wealth and ointment of the people. I always think that people's hearts are flesh-hearted. I treat my subordinates so well that even if there are one or two treacherous slanders, I will understand my painstaking efforts. When doing things, even if I think about myself seventy percent, I will keep thinking about the court three percent. But I was wrong, and I was very wrong! Some people are not heartless at all, they are heartless! They only know how to be greedy and are unwilling to take responsibility at all, and they delay the rebellion that caused the Lingnan. The foundation of the Song Dynasty was almost shaken. If such a slander minister, I would not kill them and be the emperor! I have no face to face the people of Lingnan!"

The rebellion in Lingnan really made Zhao Zhen heartbroken and disappointed him to make a graceful and generous emperor who could not show his emotions.

"Uncle Yong, what do you think?"

When asked about Ouyang Xiu, it was rare that the drunk man would not be drunk.

"Your Majesty, please let Laochen excuse the officials in Lingnan."

"Why, you also want to protect those beasts?"

"No, Your Majesty, the officials involved in the case in Lingnan are worthy of crimes. But the old minister wants to say that all dynasties have regarded Lingnan as a place of smoky mischief. The criminals were sent to the past, and the guilty ministers were demoted to the past. To put it too much, Lingnan is the garbage dump of our Song Dynasty. This is the worldly style. The officials in Lingnan are of no fault. They are not divided into a country. If they encounter problems, they can hide, and if they can be greedy, they will be greedy! Over the past hundred years, there have been many problems. If they do not end in this way, it will be a mistake. The rebellion of Nong Zhigao is at the right time, and it is also a cause for one's own fault. I think the most urgent task should be to rethink how to govern Lingnan, and not to continue to ignore it as before. I heard that behind the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, there are Jiaozhi's black hands and Dali, and these two countries have always wanted to use Nong Zhigao to test the reality of our Song Dynasty. Your Majesty must be guarded."

Ouyang Xiu's words were considered as Lao Cheng's plan to the country. Zhao Zhen nodded frequently when he heard them. Anger was useless, the key was to solve the problem.

Moreover, one Nong Zhigao and 5,000 troops would cause chaos in Lingnan. If Di Qing's army returned to the court, would Jiaozhi and Dali take the opportunity to attack Lingnan?

If it really comes to that point, would it be that if we still have to raise our troops to clean up the mess?

Zhao Zhen walked around in the hall.

"The administration of Guangnan East and West Road has collapsed and is out of control. It must be replaced from top to bottom. Select officials who have no connection with the local area to go south and make drastic moves to rectify Lingnan. Before selecting suitable officials, they can only hand over the power of Lingnan to Di Qing. By the way, Wang Ning'an is also a kid who is deceitful and full of ideas. With him in cooperation with Di Qing, it would be better to be in a righteous and extraordinary victory."

Ouyang Xiu didn't talk about the specific matters, but the old man was in a dilemma.

He is from the Six Arts and is really embarrassing to say good things to his own people. Fortunately, after Zhao Zhen said it, Ouyang Xiu breathed a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, I want to recommend someone."

"speak."

"Han Jiang!" Ouyang Xiu said: "Mr. Han came from a famous family and was a big family in Hebei. He had little to do with those people in Lingnan. He was capable and well-versed in prisons. He could not have been better if he asked him to clean up the end of Lingnan."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zhen immediately agreed.

Under the emperor's instructions, he immediately drafted an imperial edict and adjusted the team in Lingnan.

Song Xiang was defeated by Zhao Zhen, so he had no courage to object. Moreover, the fire in Lingnan had already burned out. There were many officials in the capital behind Sun Mian and Xiao Gu. Song Xiang had prepared a resignation form and prepared eight copies at once. He could get out safely and burn the incense. How could he dare to go against Zhao Zhen?

In this way, the Song Dynasty court appointed officials from Guangnan East and West Road with extremely high efficiency.

First, he was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat Pingzhang, the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, and the Guangnan East-West Road Administration to appease and recruit the envoy, and took charge of military and political affairs of the two routes.

Compared with the previous efforts to combat the rebellion, there is no doubt that Di Qing's official position has been greatly improved, and his authority has surpassed most of the guardians.

As one of Di Qing's deputy, Yu Jing, who was in charge of military rations, was appointed as the transfer envoy of Guangnan East-West Road, and worked hard to cooperate with Di Qing to eliminate the remaining bandits and rectify the local area.

Han Jiang, recommended by Ouyang Xiu, was appointed as the criminal prison in Guangnan West Road, and tried his best to interrogate Xu Yong's case. He must not leave any of the involved officials and find out.

Su Xun, who was originally a counselor of military affairs, was appointed as the governor of Guangzhou.

The last thing left is Wang Ning'an. His position has not changed, and he is still the difficult-to-mouth "maintaining the official affairs of the military and pacifying envoy from the east and west roads of Guangnan". But don't underestimate this official position. Before, Di Qing was the commander-in-chief, and Sun Mian and Yu Jing both took the title of pacifying envoy. Compared with others, Wang Ning'an is really not worth mentioning.

But this time, Di Qing was the only one left in the strategic pacification envoy. In other words, Wang Ning'an was the second-largest person in Lingnan. He stepped on the cotton bag and reached the sky in one step!

A sixteen-year-old official from the border was afraid that there was no other than the ancient Ganluo.

When Ouyang Xiu heard this order, he sighed very much. The old master even cheered a little. He really wanted to see what big things Wang Ning'an could do!

After all, the emperor truly authorized this time. Wang Ning'an, Yu Jing, and Su Xun were all lecturers from the Six Arts School. Han Jiang seemed to have nothing to do with Six Arts, but his younger brother Han Wei and nephew Han Zongwu were all in the Six Arts School. The Han family and the Wang family had such deep collusion.

As for Di Qing, his son has studied at Liuyi and is also a member of the Panliuyi Academy... OK, before he knew it, these people in Liuyi Academy had already grown up.
