Since the Taizu Dynasty established the ancestor family law that respected culture and suppressed martial arts, it was a taboo that military men interfered in politics. The update of military generals did not participate, intervene, or even talk about the government affairs. Even the noble generals like Cao family in Xijing and Zheyang in Hedong had endless honors and favors, and intermarried with the royal family and became relatives. Once there were signs of interference in the government affairs, they would lead to attacks from court officials, and even the emperor did not have the protection. When the two emperors were established, Ezhou received more gentry responses by "respecting the emperor but not following the orders". One of the big factors was that everyone was worried that Cao Di would repeat the story of "carrying the emperor to command the princes". The literati would rather continue to respect Zhao Ke, who was captured by the Liao people than accept an emperor hostage by the military generals.

Therefore, when Shi Tingjian mentioned "military people interfere in politics", the generals' expressions became unnatural.

"Mr. Shi is so serious," Wang Gui's face changed slightly, and he defended himself, "I have always been careful." He put his hand on the table, looked at the left and right generals, and said loudly, "I am loyal and loyal, and the sun can be seen!" The generals responded one after another, "That's right, we will serve the court without any intention!" "Mr. Shi must look carefully. General Wang is a loyal minister."

"If this is true, it is a blessing for the Song Dynasty!" Shi Tingjian nodded slightly and raised his glass, "The general will never let the court be grateful to him, and he will be able to start and end well." He touched the wine glass with Wang Gui and drank it all in one go. The generals also shouted and drank it all together. Wang Gui also drank the wine, without knowing the taste, and looked at Shi Tingjian with confusion, wondering what he was selling in the gourd?

"General Wang, don't blame Shi for his words," Shi Tingjian said in a low voice, "Although he is loyal, he still needs to grasp the right measure. This is the way to protect martial artists. Shi once read history. Every time he saw the stories of Shi Zhang, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ruizong, Yan Da, the two generals, were quite regrettable." His voice was very low, but Wang Gui could hear it clearly and couldn't help but feel horrified.

Shi Zhang and Yan Da, the two generals of the two dynasties, were both deputy commanders in front of the hall. They both participated in the matter of supporting the matter when the late emperor passed away and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. When the Mingzong passed away, people's hearts and minds were chaotic. Legend has it that the empress dowager did not like the crown prince. Yu established the King of Chu, and the hearts of the people were also floating. Shi Zhang warned the army in front of the hall, "You will be long live when you see me and shout long live, and then you will be long live when you see me." When the new emperor ascended the throne, he sent a face to show his grief. Shi Zhang even ascended the throne himself, brushed his hair with a tablet, looked carefully, and realized that the first crown prince was correct, and then went down and led the generals to shout long live. People at that time praised him and said, "With this palace commander, the world is still alive."!

Coincidentally, when Emperor Ruizong passed away, the empress dowager opposed the new policy, and the prince had always been close to the new party, and Prince Yong was close to the old party. Therefore, the prince was disliked by the empress dowager and the old party, and undercurrents in the court were surging, and there were even saying that assassins would mix among the royal relatives and enter the palace from the east gate to assassinate the prince. In the storm, on the day the prince ascended the throne, Yan Da personally led 500 soldiers from the palace to line up inside and outside the east gate of the palace for the first time. The royal relatives and ministers who entered the palace to participate in the ceremony must be inspected one by one. After Zhuang Zong ascended the throne, he gave it to him with "loyal Yan Da".

These two generals had already made great contributions. However, as time went by, the emperor's original reliance and gratitude gradually became suspicious and fearful. Both generals were finally seized from military power. Not only were they unemployed, but their old subordinates were also excluded and demoted. Chinese officials in the court took advantage of the situation and kept knocking down the bullets, worried all day long, and finally died of depression. Shi Zhang was the descendant of Shi Shouxin, the mighty county prince, and the uncle of Emperor Mingzong. Since Shi Zhang was unemployed, the children of the clan had suffered repeated disasters, and the Shi family gradually disappeared.

After the fall of Bianliang, the three yamen in front of the hall were already in name only, and the imperial guards were divided into large army stationed in various places. The southeast camp stationed in Ezhou and guarded the palace. If it were to be abolished and established, it could be compared with the imperial guards of the three yamen. Wang Gui's military power was also similar to the two generals Shi Yan. Thinking of the fate of these two generals, he was speechless and his face was quiet.

Shi Tingjian said something on his own, every word was heart-killing, piercing his heart like a steel needle.

"The family rules of the ancestors set by Taizu, military people are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. It is not that they cannot harm the government affairs, but that they cannot interfere. The military people have self-respecting their own military forces and are naturally in suspicion. Even if they are kind-hearted, once they interfere in the government affairs, they not only violate the taboo of the emperor, but also the taboo of the court, and even the taboo of the people of the world. Our dynasty governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and is no longer as strong as the Tang Dynasty. This is a great blessing for the people of our Song Dynasty. People in the world tend to be civilized. Therefore, once someone takes advantage of the world's ruling the world and interferes with political affairs with force, it must be the ones in the world who will be punished... General Wang? General Wang? Lord Wang?"

Shi Tingjian called out twice in a low voice, and Wang Guicai woke up and raised his glass and said, "Mr. Shi is saying."

After he took charge of the southeast camp, he also carefully moved closer to Chen Dong to show his goodwill. However, Chen Dong was upright and did not mean to repay the favor. Gradually, Wang Gui regarded himself as a pillar of the court and trained his troops with peace of mind, hoping that one day he could fight a horse to be named a marquis in the battlefield. However, the trees were quiet and the wind was not stopped.

"General Wang laughed." Shi Tingjian said to himself: "There is no good general in his mentor. Wang Guiruo is really a loyal person. In the future, he can recommend him to continue to control the Southeast Camp and protect the camp. Since that's the case, you might as well point out some things to him today."

He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass to toast the generals, and slowly said: "The greatest government policy of the court is etiquette and law. The importance of etiquette and law is election. The school gathers wise men to jointly elect academic government, and then elects the prime minister by academic government. The purpose is to select the great wise men in the world to govern the country, and to prevent treacherous and slanderous countries like Wang Mang and Cao cāo. People's hearts are different. Even if some disputes arise sometimes, it is a dispute over etiquette and law in the court. If someone attempts to interfere with this by force, it is an enemy of the people in the world."

In the Yutang Building in Nancao City, every table was filled with people. The waiter was walking back and forth with a hundred insects, carefully resuming tea, and serving candied fruits. He complained in his heart that people were originally gentle and gentle, but somehow they had a hot temper recently, and they were all very sensible. But when they were talking, the victims of mourning clothes seemed really pitiful.

"Brother-in-law, don't be afraid," Zhang Wei patted an old man on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Tell me out all your grievances."

"Yes, say it!" "Speak it, say it!"

Old Man Li was a little timid at first, and he said countless remarks, without any special preparation. He burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.

The son of Old Man Li was named Li Xiang. When the Liao thieves invaded the south, he joined the county's group training, and the landlord took away the land. When the Liao army retreated and the county sacked the group training, after Li Xiang returned home, he had to buy vegetables and fruits on the street to make a living. As a result, the disaster did not happen. He committed some gangsters in the county, and their legs were broken and they became useless. The daughter-in-law could not bear to be humiliated. Only Old Man Li took care of his son while making an injustice. Fortunately, the county magistrate was Bao Qingtian. After verifying that Old Man Li's son chose Song Lifa's self-discipline, he sentenced all the gangsters to Qiuhou to be executed. However, now the case file was crushed to the Ministry of Justice, and the re-examination would probably not be asked to be executed. Li Xiang was seriously injured and worried and angry. Before he could see the evil people being executed, he passed away. The gangsters even asked their accomplices to speak out, as long as they could save their lives, they would kill the three ancestors and grandchildren of Old Man Li as soon as they came out.

"It's really tolerant, who can't bear it!" Zhang Wei slapped the table and said angrily, "How did the Ministry of Justice indulge the traitors to bully the good!"

"That's it!" "I can't bear it anymore!" The students in the rank of the lieutenant shouted, and some people guessed: "Is anyone in the Ministry of Justice collected money?" "Wen Xunzhi is the largest treacherous minister of this dynasty!" "The delay of the Ministry of Justice is like a nest of snakes and rats." The tea shops in the restaurant also started to cheer together, and everyone wanted to kill the Ministry of Justice to avenge the old man Li's family.

"Thank you old man!" "Thank you all." Old Man Li knelt down tremblingly, and said with tears: "Thank you all benefactors! Master Qingtian!" He pulled the two sons and grandchildren around him to the ground, pressing them to kowtow on the ground with him, "Wan'er, Shuan'er, hurry up, kowtow to the benefactor together. If the benefactor doesn't help us, we can only beg for food outside in our lives." The scene of the three grandparents and grandchildren kowtowing together really made those who see them sad, and those who hear them shed tears.

"Please get up," Zhang Wei felt sorry for his heart and whispered: "We are supported by the court, read sages, speak up for justice, and drive away evil spirits and righteousness. They are all just a matter of duty." He helped Old Man Li up, and said to a pale middle-aged man: "Brother Baochen, you tell me about your affairs."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Wu Wei was a little nervous. Before he talked about the matter, he bowed to the students around him and sighed: "There is a family in the world. Everyone is eager to be righteous. Wu admires it, and admires it very much." Everyone heard that he was abide by the Qingliu method and was familiar with poetry, so he was humble. Then, Wu Wei sighed and told his troubles.

Wu family lived in Taiping County, Xuanzhou for generations, and was also considered a local clan. Wu Wei's father Wu Mi was the chief clerk of Taiping County and has always been a law-abiding person. But not long ago, Wu Mi reported that the county magistrate Wang Chugeng, elected by the county school, had committed corruption and abuse of power, and suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest. The magistrate Wang was a powerful man, and the matter turned into a powerful force in Wang Mi personally and a group of his party members to threaten Wu Mi, asking him to call out the books and evidence, and even punched Wu Mi who was over 50 years old. Finally, with the forced intervention of the provincial school Qingliu, Wang Chugeng was imprisoned and was punished. The Xuanzhou Yamen sentenced him to behead and confiscated his house. However, the case was suppressed by the Ministry of Justice. What the Wu family is most worried about now is Wang Chugeng's comeback.
