Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Do the various yamen have other things to report?"
At this time, a middle-aged official stood up and bowed with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that Liu Mingjian, the censor and censor, is impeaching Jingzhao Yin and his secretary, Wang Hong.
He did nothing during his tenure as Jingzhao Yin, which caused a loss of public security in the two counties of Chang'an in the capital."
The situation has seriously declined, and the living standards of the people are much lower than before, and Because of his improper actions, the Lingwu army mutinied.
The ministers believed that Wang Hong was a military general and was not good at governing the local area.
He had serious problems with his administrative ability.
He should be removed from the official position of Jing Zhaoyin and another capable person should be selected.
Hold him accountable for the consequences of his negligence.”
As soon as Liu Mingjian said this impeachment, there was a sudden silence in the court.
It was not that the courtiers had no reaction, but that everyone had their hearts in their throats, because this was the first impeachment case since Zhao Ziliang came to power, and it was now the time Zhao Ziliang's first step in preparing to rectify the administration of officials.
It is conceivable that this impeachment How powerful the case is, more courtiers are worried that this impeachment case will involve a large number of people.
As the saying goes, "pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud", it is true that Wang Hong is a military general, but his relationship in the officialdom is intricate. , once someone wants to expand the case, I am afraid it will be an earthquake for the entire court Zhao Ziliang asked: "Liu Mingjian, Jing Zhaoyin is an important official of the imperial court.
He controls the wealth and lives of tens of millions of people in the capital city of Chang'an.
Even the daily food and drink of the emperor and the king are in charge of Jing Zhaoyin.
Therefore, Jing Zhaoyin's position The stakes are very high.
If you impeach casually without any actual evidence, it will be tantamount to false accusations.
False accusations against important officials of the imperial court are a crime of beheading.
Do you understand?"
Liu Mingjian said: "Weichen understands that Weichen first gave evidence about the living conditions of the people in the two counties of Chang'an.
Weichen led people to conduct follow-up visits in Chang'an City and counted the living conditions of three thousand households.
Before Wang Hong took office as Jingzhaoyin, these three The annual per capita income of a thousand households is 88 guan.
During the three years when Wang Hong was in charge of Jingzhaoyin, the per capita income of these three thousand households in the first year was It is 79 guan, the second year is 72 guan, and the per capita income so far this year is 50 guan.
Today is already the first day of November, and there are only two months until the end of the year.
There is no way that the per capita income can exceed 70 guan.
Therefore, it can be seen that after Wang Hong took office as Jing Zhaoyin, the living standards of the people entering the field declined year by year, and the decline was very severe."
"Looking at the public security situation again, first excluding the casualties caused by the rebellion, and looking solely at criminal, public security, and civil cases, in the year before Wang Hong took office, there were a total of 89 criminal cases and 200 public security cases in Chang'an.
In the first year after Wang Hong took office, there were 112 criminal cases, 282 public security cases, and 377 civil cases. , There have been 281 criminal cases, 359 public security cases, and 432 civil cases.
This year, so far, 293 criminal cases and 361 public security cases have occurred. , there are 444 civil cases, and there are still two months left in this year.
These figures are the statistical results of the Jingzhao Shaoyin Mansion, and are not made up by the ministers.
If your Majesty and your colleagues don’t believe it, you can send people to Check " Liu Mingjian said that he had a nose and an eye.
Even if Zhao Ziliang wanted to protect him, it would be impossible.
Besides, he didn't want to protect him at all, because Jing Zhaoyin really had to replace someone, even if he didn't replace him with one of his own, he would have to replace him with a non-factional official, and he also had to replace someone with a factional official.
You must have talent, otherwise the situation in Chang'an will only get worse Zhao Ziliang immediately said to the eunuch on duty: "Come here, send someone to Shaoyin's Mansion to investigate and see if the data cited by Liu Mingjian are true.
I hope to see relevant statistical records in the shortest possible time."
"Yes."
The eunuch on duty immediately agreed and sent three eunuchs to Shaoyin's mansion.
Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Mingjian: "You continue to talk."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingjian was determined and continued: "According to the information that I have learned, the Lingwu Army went to Xiangyang to quell the rebellion.
They passed through Chang'an to rest for two days.
The emperor sent Wang Hong, who was then Jing Zhaoyin, to prepare for the army.
Food, but the food for two consecutive days was either mixed with a lot of sand or rancid.
Not to mention what would happen to people if they ate it.
Even if they were fed to the animals, the animals would not eat them.
Therefore, Lingwu The army rebelled.

According to Wei Chen's knowledge, the expenses for laboring the army at that time were allocated from the national treasury and were not borne by the Jingzhao Mansion.
Moreover, the money allocated was enough to feed the five thousand Lingwu troops for two days, but he used adulterated food.
By serving the anti-rebellion army with sand and rotten rice, it can be seen that Wang Hong is not only guilty of inappropriate actions that caused the Lingwu Army to rebel, but is also suspected of embezzling money from the imperial court.
Please investigate Wang Hong."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Hong, whose face turned pale, and asked: "Master Wang, what do you have to say?"
Wang Hong stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged.
The emperor did entrust me with the task of laboring the army, but I was not the actual executor.
The money allocated by the imperial court from the treasury never passed through my hands.
I was only responsible for assigning tasks." , executed by the officials below.”
Liu Mingjian shouted: "Wang Hong, do you think you can push two, six, and five in this way?
If the officials below did not have your instructions and nod, they would dare to feed the soldiers food with sand and rotten rice.
How dare you treat the king?"
All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were treated as fools."
Zhao Ziliang knocked on the desk: "Liu Mingjian, be patient and don't be impatient.
After all, Mr.
Wang is Jing Zhaoyin and an important minister of the imperial court.
If you arbitrarily convict an important official of the imperial court without real evidence, this is not a reflection of your devotion to duty, but a child's play on the important officials of the imperial court."
All people in the Tang Dynasty have made contributions.
If the important officials of the imperial court are hastily convicted, this will be irresponsible to the country of the Tang Dynasty and unfair to the parties concerned."
Liu Mingjian quickly said: "Yes, what the king said is true."
After speaking, Liu Mingjian asked Wang Hong: "Master Wang, I don't know who you entrusted this matter to."
Wang Hong did not answer this question.
After all, his official rank was much higher than that of Liu Mingjian.
But now he was in the court, with all the court ministers watching, and this matter was directly related to him.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang said: "Mr.
Wang, this case is related to you.
You must accept the inquiry and give a clear and positive answer.
The answer must be true, because this matter can be found out with a casual investigation.
If you want to hide it from me, Wang and The court, you cannot bear the consequences.
Once the court investigates clearly, if it really has nothing to do with you, I will give you justice."
Wang Hong's face was uncertain, but he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Shao Yin Wei Zhen and Chang'an Lieutenant Xue Cui are responsible for this."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Come here, call Wei Zhen and Xue Cui.
This case is not difficult to find out.
Just call Wei Zhen and Xue Cui and ask them."
"Yes, Your Majesty" During the summons, Zhao Ziliang and the courtiers could not keep waiting.
At this time, a minister stood up and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Li Mian, the military governor of Lingnan."
"allow" Li Mian said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than three months since I returned to Beijing to report my duties.
During this period, I have been stranded in Beijing due to rebellion and other things.
I am worried that if I will not be in office for a long time, something will happen in Lingnan.
Therefore, if the king and the court have no other The matter requires Wei Chen, please allow the court to allow Wei Chen to return to Lingnan."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Oh, don't worry, Master Li.
I have a detailed understanding of your resume.
You are from the clan.
You have made great achievements as an official over the years.
You have made great contributions to the court.

Your colleagues speak highly of you." , in all the places where he has served Everyone supports you.
For an official like you, if the court wants to reuse Lingnan, you should not go back.
As for your arrangements, I have other appointments.
You can stay at home in Chang'an with peace of mind.
I will take the time.
Talk to you” "It's the humble minister who obeys the imperial court's orders."
Li Mian handed over his hand and returned to his original position.
The ministers couldn't figure out why Zhao Ziliang left Li Mian in the capital for another appointment.
Li Mian was an official without any party or faction.
Because of his upright character and being a member of the clan, none of the three factions dared to woo him casually.
Zhao Ziliang left Li Mian in Chang'an, but he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.
The eunuch who went to check the statistical data came back soon and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, your servants and others have brought back the relevant files.
Please have your Majesty's review."
Zhao Ziliang pointed at Yuan Zai: "Master Yuan, please open it and check whether the data recorded above are consistent with what Liu Mingjian said."
"Oh no, I was asked to do this kind of thing.
It's clear why I want to confront the prince's party."
Yuan Zai was quite complaining, but he still had to take the file and open it.
"Prince Regent, what Liu Mingjian said is exactly the same as what is recorded in the dossier," Yuan Zai told Zhao Ziliang truthfully.
You cannot lie about this kind of thing to your face, you can only tell the truth.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Hong: "Master Wang, you have been serving as Jingzhao Yin for three years, and you have governed Jingzhao Mansion like this.
It seems that you should not stay in this position.
Otherwise, the people of Chang'an will only become more miserable.
Don't let the emperor and I have problems eating.
Then it will become a joke of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?"
Wang Hong gritted his teeth and bowed down: "Your Majesty, I cannot manage the Jingzhao Mansion well and my talents are limited.
Please resign from the post of Jingzhao Mansion Yin."
Zhao Ziliang said: "It seems that you still have some self-awareness.
Please step aside for now, and we will talk about your problem after Wei Zhen and Xue Cui arrive."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty and a place that attracts the world's attention.
The governor of Jingzhao is an extremely important official position.
It must be held by someone with outstanding talent and moral character.
Sirs, there is no suitable candidate." ah" Ministers who are qualified to recommend have come forward one after another.
This is not the time to be humble.
The division of power in the imperial court has long been patterned, but the arrival of Zhao Ziliang completely broke the original political pattern.
In order to obtain more political resources, The factions had to go into battle naked
