Okay, here's the English translation of the provided Chinese text, adhering to all the given rules and guidelines:

Ding Jin, despite being summoned, only arrived with a large army, and remained entrenched in the market town, his apprehension exceedingly apparent. This stemmed from his bandit origins, a lingering effect of the official's execution of Liu Guangshi, and was the first obstacle on this westward journey to Nanyang...

However, the Zhao Emperor seemed oblivious to these matters, proceeding without pause. The imperial entourage continued west for seven or eight *li* before settling down, placing them a mere thirty *li* from Zhu Gao Town, occupied by Ding Jin—a perilous proximity.

But that was not all. The next morning, the entourage resumed its westward march by both land and water, as if nothing were amiss, even dispatching the customary envoys to summon Ding Jin, seemingly ignoring his previous transgression.

Seeing this, the newly appointed civil and military officials below the entourage were naturally flustered. However, the Emperor and the senior officials paid them no heed, leaving them to tremble in apprehension and helplessness, following the entourage westward. Correspondingly, Ding Jin, situated in the Zhu Gao Town ahead, found himself cornered!

It must be understood that men like Ding Jin exist in every dynasty. Some were former military rogues, others were local powerful landowners. When they saw the world in chaos, either tempted by the local power vacuum or influenced by poorly written historical romances, they harbored some speculative ambitions. It cannot be said they were entirely wrong... especially during the Jingkang Incident when the two Emperors were captured and taken north, the entire Zhao Song imperial family was almost wiped out, looking like the beginning of a typical collapse with rebellions springing up everywhere.

At that time, not only men like Ding Jin, but even many righteous armies who had originally come to defend the Emperor turned into bandits. What to say of those who were already thieves and found it difficult to change their ways?

However, these 'heroes' who caused trouble during the Jingkang and Jianyan years were destined for misfortune. They faced a Song Dynasty that had narrowly survived a sudden death through emergency resuscitation, and a Jin Dynasty in a phase of vigorous expansion. This made it difficult for the so-called heroes to realize their 'ambitions'... In this situation, Li Cheng seemed more skillful, knowing how to hedge his bets in the Song-Jin tug-of-war.

Of course, that was only after Li Cheng and those righteous armies and bandits from the Zijingdongdong Circuit had been brutally beaten by Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Talan with tens of thousands of regular troops, with countless casualties, that they finally came to this realization.

Returning to the present, Ding Jin's current state was neither fully soldier nor bandit. He had already failed once in his attempt to achieve great things, so he lacked courage. But he was unwilling to relinquish his ambition because he had tasted the power. Clutching tens of thousands of hastily gathered defeated soldiers and conscripted laborers, having plundered two or three large prefectures, he possessed some fighting strength, but was also a mere scattered force.

What could he do?

In all fairness, his situation was far more difficult than the Zhao Emperor's!

The Zhao Emperor, after all, bore the Zhao surname and was now pressing down with legitimate authority. This Huai Xi bandit had either to honestly go and meet the Zhao Emperor, or simply lead his troops and run away, or take a gamble and risk everything, daring to drag the Emperor down from his horse!

Of course, the last choice was highly improbable, otherwise Ding Jin would not have been hesitating until now.

"Listen up, everyone!"

On the south bank of the Huai River, the eight hundred Beiwei soldiers and the twelve hundred Cui Pian soldiers, who had secretly crossed the river last night and hid in the Imperial camp, were marching at the front of the column under the banner of Commandant Fu Qing. Han Shizhong, wearing his jade belt, stood proudly on horseback beneath the Fu banner, looking around and giving orders repeatedly. "I've seen many bandit lads like Ding Jin. With the Emperor's aura and the current situation, once that 'Zi Yue' reaches Zhu Gao Town, he will surely coax this Huai Xi bandit into the entourage... When that happens, we don't need to remind Wang De. Old Xie, you just lead the Cui Pian soldiers and fool him here. I will lead the Beiwei soldiers and gallop to Zhu Gao Town. Once there, we'll change the flags, go straight in to announce the decree and take over the entire army, kill the troublemakers, and hold onto those willing to surrender. This matter will be settled! There won't be any problems!"

"Then all the money, grain, and military equipment that Ding Jin has hoarded will be ours?"

"Naturally."

"If so, how many of Ding Jin's thirty thousand soldiers can we get? If we take all the money and grain, will the Emperor reduce our troops because of it?"

"What are you thinking?" Han Shizhong raised his head even higher, his contempt overflowing. "Thirty thousand rabble, how many are truly strong and useful? Pick out the good ones first. As for the rest, if Wang Yecha wants them, I'll gladly be generous."

The two men who asked the questions were Cheng Min and Xie Yuan, respectively. The latter had already become the commander of the Cui Pian army due to his merits that day, so we shall not speak of it. The former, as Han Shizhong's close aide in the Beiwei army, had a few things worth mentioning.

Specifically, Cheng Min had some connections with the newly appointed Pacification Commissioner Yue Fei, and Liu Ziyu, who had just been promoted on Zhang Jun's roster yesterday... This man came from the Hebei Dare-to-Die Warriors and, like Yue Fei, was an old subordinate of Liu Ge, Liu Ziyu's father who died for his country in the Jingkang Incident. The three could barely be considered comrades.

However, at that time, Liu Ziyu was not only a young master but was also exceptionally promoted to a fifth-rank civil official due to his military achievements in defending Zhengding, so he was high above, while the other two were just common soldiers.

As for the common soldiers Cheng Min and Yue Fei, their previous life experiences were similar. Both were brave men from Hebei, both lost their families during the Jingkang Incident, and both became low-level military officers during the Jianyan period. In the midst of the chaos, they both gathered groups of a hundred or eighty riders around them. However, Yue Fei joined the Grand Marshal's office immediately and wrote a letter of thousands of words impeaching Li Gang as soon as he arrived in Nanjing (Shangqiu), thus beginning his legendary fate, while Cheng Min was one step behind, only deciding to go south and join the entourage in the latter half of last year, becoming a subordinate of Han Shizhong.

Only because he was skilled in martial arts and had a good temperament, Han Shizhong valued him highly, so he was quickly promoted... Of course, it was just promotion. Compared to his old comrade, or even his former junior Yue Fei, it was nothing.

A person's destiny depends on the circumstances.

Thus, Han Shizhong, who proclaimed himself to be 'the best in the world' after seeing the generals of the entourage in Nanjing (Shangqiu) that day, became even more arrogant after the Battle of Shou Zhou, wanting to forcibly annex Ding Jin's thirty thousand troops with only eight hundred riders. His arrogance was evident.

However, Han Shizhong's military rogue character, being used to arrogance, did not mean that his subordinates were without meticulous people.

Early in the morning, after Han Shizhong had just shown off his power in front of his own men, around noon, the 'Zi Yue' dispatched by the imperial court, wearing a brand-new red official robe and bearing the regalia of an imperial envoy, came over from the Emperor who had already landed and was about to leave first... Seeing this scene, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered something.

"Fifth Brother!" Xie Yuan pointed to the man. "Don't I remember that this 'Zi Yue' is highly valued by the Emperor and is considered one of his confidants? It seems that he is also a close friend of Zhang Xiantai... What if he is killed if we follow your plan?"

"How could he be killed?" Han Shizhong, riding a tall horse and being exceptionally tall and strong, said perfunctorily. "He went to invite Ding Jin, what does it have to do with us?"

"Someone like Ding Jin may not dare not to come, but once he comes, he will definitely take that person as a hostage." Xie Yuan was speechless. "If you charge slower, Fifth Brother, and there are Ding Jin's confidants watching him inside, wouldn't he be doomed?"

"Then I'll charge faster." Han Shizhong became even more perfunctory. "He took the initiative to ask for this mission in public."

Xie Yuan was finally stunned: "Wouldn't everyone know that you killed him, Fifth Brother?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Han Shizhong suddenly became angry.

However, the next moment, just as Xie Yuan was preparing to persuade his brother again, the two of them suddenly stopped talking and looked at each other, feeling guilty.

Because while they were talking, the 'Zi Yue', who had changed into a red robe, actually came over on his own initiative.

"Grand Commandant Han." Hu Yin reined in his horse by the roadside and cupped his hands directly.

"Zi... Lord Hu!" Han Shizhong quickly returned the salute on horseback, fortunately not calling out 'Zi Yue'.

"Not Lord anymore." Hu Yin replied solemnly. "This morning, I received the Emperor's grace and was specially promoted to be a seventh-rank Attendant Censor of the Palace. With this status, Ding Jin will have no choice but to come."

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes. Han Shizhong's head grew a size larger when he heard the word Censor, especially since the Attendant Censor of the Palace was more noble than other Censors, so he became even more cautious: "Then congratulations to Lord Hu, to be able to reach the seventh rank at such a young age, the future is very good. Of course, you deserve it... Does Lord Hu have any instructions for this old Han?"

"Naturally, I have some instructions." Hu Yin's expression was calm as he continued to cup his hands and said. "But before that, allow me to ask one more question. If I am not mistaken, Grand Commandant Han wants to wait for me to lure Ding Jin here, and then ride lightly to Zhu Gao and take over Ding Jin's central army stronghold, right?"

"I... I have that idea."

Han Shizhong understood that this person, although said to be a bit stubborn, did not seem any weaker than Zhao Ding, Zhao Ambassador, who had become Grand Commandant Han's nemesis, so he did not dare to deceive him any further. "But how did Lord Hu know?"

"What's so hard to say about that?" Hu Yin frowned slightly. "This is not like marching and fighting. Someone like Ding Jin has only risen to power for half a year. He seems powerful, but he only supports himself by three points, a few key members by two points, and the rest depends entirely on the circumstances. Now that the circumstances are different, I am afraid that even the key members under him have become a scattered force... Whether Grand Commandant Han does this or we civil officials do it, it is nothing more than beheading and digging out the heart. Do you really have to fight a battle?"

Han Shizhong was speechless for a moment. After a pause, knowing that he could not avoid it, he simply asked: "What exactly does Lord Hu want to say to me?"

"It's like this." Hu Yin continued solemnly. "Ding Jin will most likely come to see the Emperor upon receiving the decree, but he will also most likely trap me in Zhu Gao as a hostage. If so, I implore Grand Commandant Han not to consider my life, but to quickly and strictly suppress Ding Jin's remnants to achieve great things... Know that the affairs of the state are in Nanyang. This matter should be done quickly and not slowly, strictly and not leniently, and must not delay the Emperor's overall plan!"

Hearing this, Cheng Min, who was at Han Shizhong's side, coughed dryly and immediately rode his horse to hide behind.

Han Shizhong himself opened his mouth to speak but felt embarrassed instead and could only cough dryly, then withdrew his gaze from Cheng Min, who was hiding behind him, and said softly: "Why don't I equip Lord Hu with a few brave warriors? In my Beiwei army, there are quite a few people as powerful as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun..."

"A great man takes on responsibilities in times of crisis, how can he be so motherly?" Hu Yin replied proudly. "If Grand Commandant Han is sincere, then when entering the town, charge faster!"

After saying this, the Lord Hu did not say another word and actually turned around and returned to the ranks, leading the regalia and setting off quickly to lure the Huai Xi bandit Ding Jin with his own body.

Han Shizhong was dumbfounded and could only stare at the dust raised by the other party's regalia on his tall horse for a long time without saying a word. When he finally came back to his senses and turned around, he found that his brother Xie Yuan, who had been with him for over twenty years, was also looking at him with a contemptuous gaze, making him even more ashamed and no longer having his previous arrogance.

Regardless of how ashamed Han Shizhong was, the matter had come to this, and thinking more about it was useless. Around noon, Ding Jin received the formal decree conveyed by Hu Yin in the hall. After hesitating again and again and discussing it privately with several key members of the army, he was really helpless, so he finally led a hundred or so trusted cavalrymen to the east to meet the Emperor.

However, before leaving, this person directly set off without even notifying Hu Yin, who was stationed somewhere in the town, just as Xie Yuan, Hu Yin, and others had guessed, this fellow was going to take the envoy as a hostage.

At this time, the two sides were only twenty *li* apart. Ding Jin rode his horse and arrived quickly. He carefully observed along the way and saw that there were only Wang, Fu, Xin, Zhang, Qiao, and Huyan banners on the south bank of the Huai River, while the Han banner was still on the opposite bank, which somewhat relieved him.

After entering the forbidden area, he first met a Minister. The two saluted under their horses and chatted idly for a while, without mentioning the Attendant Censor of the Palace, which further relaxed his guard.

After a short while, an eunuch conveyed a decree, saying that the Zhao Emperor had personally set up a tent by the roadside to summon him. Ding Jin had nothing to say, so he immediately left the hundred-odd riders and took only three or five officers, disarming himself and entering the tent to prostrate himself.

But at this moment, Ding Jin finally heard a sentence that made his heart sink, but which he seemed to have expected: "Commandant Ding, where is my Attendant Censor of the Palace? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Ding Jin prostrated himself on the ground, secretly looking at the Zhao Emperor in the seat, who was unbelievably young, while shamelessly uttering the reason he had thought of before: "Reporting to the Emperor, your subject heard that he was going to have an audience with the Emperor and was so happy that he came directly, but forgot to call Lord Hu to come together."

"So be it." The Zhao Emperor, who was only wearing a leather belt today, sat there and smiled slightly. "Commander Ding, point out someone to call him back. You can enjoy the banquet here. When he comes, we will drink and discuss matters together."

Ding Jin had no choice but to kowtow and agree, but he signaled to a confidant beside him as discussed before, telling this person to go back and act according to plan, which was to go back and mobilize troops, set fires and cause chaos in Zhu Gao Town, and coerce the imperial entourage to release him.

Turning around, after this person left, the dishes were served, and Ding Jin also took his seat at the banquet. The Zhao Emperor suddenly got up and immediately left the tent. Ding Jin and the only two remaining confidants did not dare to question him and could only slowly eat their meal under the observation of a group of fully armored imperial guards.

Regardless of how Ding Jin finished this meal, Zhao Jiu, under the escort of Yang Yizhong, walked out of the tent and came to the outskirts of the forest where the tent was located, seeing a group of civil and military officials waiting here, but he was rarely angered: "I originally wanted to listen to Minister Xu and give him a way out, so that he could set an example for others in the future, but I did not expect that this person would actually dare to detain Hu Mingzhong as a hostage, so I can only punish him as a warning!"

Everyone facing him looked at each other, and no one dared to persuade Zhao Jiu to show leniency again.

"Leaving that aside, are there any other omissions in all the preparations?" Amidst the commotion, Zhao Jiu reluctantly clasped his hands behind his back and asked again.

"Reporting to the Emperor, there should be no omissions." Imperial Camp Commander Wang Yuan quickly stepped forward. "According to the previous arrangement, that person has been intercepted, and the hundred-odd riders have all been surrounded properly. It can be seen that the Emperor's design this time is perfect..."

Before he could finish his words, a rider galloped from afar. Everyone looked over and it should be Wang De, who had set off to quell the chaos, and they all lost their composure.

Wang Yecha rode his horse to the front and immediately prostrated himself and bowed, feeling indignant: "Emperor! The Emperor must decide for your subject! That fellow Han Shizhong relied on having eight hundred Beiwei cavalrymen and charged over as soon as Ding Jin came in. This subject was kind enough to ask him to go together, but was fooled over by Xie Yuan, who said that it would be more stable to go after Ding Jin was captured here... Fortunately, Commandant Xin's troops saw Han Wu sending troops and specially came to tell me!"

Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed, but he didn't know whether he was laughing at Han Shizhong or Wang De: "If so, you should quickly lead your troops to follow him and surround Zhu Gao to prevent the bandit soldiers from collapsing, why are you coming to me to complain? Go quickly!"

Wang De was stunned for a moment, then immediately cupped his hands and obeyed the order, and hurried away again, so-called coming and going quickly.

The surrounding civil and military officials, except for Xu Jingheng, how could they not know that this Emperor usually had a poker face, and rarely became angry or laughed, and today he was angry first and then laughed, and then fell silent, which immediately made the clever people cautious.

"The Emperor can rest assured." After a long pause, seeing that no one dared to speak, Wang Yuan, the theoretical chief executor of this plan, had no choice but to brace himself and cautiously cope. "Since Ding Jin has come, this matter has already been accomplished, and Han Shizhong has always been impatient, but your subject knows that he is a capable person, eight hundred cavalrymen are enough for him to perform."

"I know Han Liangchen's ability better than you do." Zhao Jiu clasped his hands behind his back and said, finally returning to his usual appearance. "But thinking of yesterday's words, it can be seen that the task is heavy and the road is long!"

The ministers had their own thoughts, and they clearly understood which sentence the Emperor was referring to yesterday.

As the sun began to set, Wang De worked hard to lead eight thousand troops to Zhu Gao Town, and then hurriedly ordered to surround the place. At this time, the town was, as everyone thought, Han Shizhong had already quelled the chaos here!

There was no way, you really couldn't overestimate these bandits who had only risen to power for half a year and had never fought a proper battle. Everything was as Han Shizhong had thought. He led eight hundred riders to the outside of the town, then changed his flags and regalia, and suddenly charged in. The town actually had no reaction at all, and even the location of the command center was found by asking with a whip on the road.

Then Han Shizhong didn't kill a single person and easily captured all the central army generals under Ding Jin's command. Then, perhaps because he was not addicted to not killing anyone, he began to systematically kill people on the streets.

He started killing Ding Jin's younger brother and clansmen, and after killing the relatives, he killed the generals according to the central army list... Anyway, the Zhao Emperor said that he couldn't let Liu Guangshi be wronged, and by the time Wang De arrived at the outer perimeter, the town had already been cleansed by more than half!

"Brother Hu!"

Just as he was killing enthusiastically, Han Shizhong suddenly saw a person coming with Cheng Min, so he temporarily suspended the execution and immediately got up, rarely bowing and saluting seriously. "It's good that Brother Hu is well, otherwise this brother will definitely feel uneasy for the rest of his life!"

Hu Yin looked at the row of heads on the street and a group of Ding Jin's bandit leaders shivering, and only frowned slightly, then cupped his hands and stepped forward:

"Grand Commandant Han, if you are convicted of retreating without authorization, you can only kill military officers, and you cannot arbitrarily implicate... and you must not slaughter the town!"

"Brother, you're joking, the Emperor is right behind us, how can we easily slaughter the town?" Han Shizhong quickly replied. According to his meaning, it seemed that if the Zhao Emperor was not behind him, he would have really slaughtered the town.

But Hu Yin got the promise and did not say any more, but followed Han Shizhong's invitation and sat side by side with him on the chairs prepared in the street.

After the two sides were seated, Grand Commandant Han's enthusiasm did not diminish: "Brother, yesterday I heard the Emperor say that civil officials don't love money and military officials don't cherish death, and I was shocked, and I felt that if this was the case, the world would be at peace, but I didn't expect to actually see a civil official who doesn't cherish death today, which really makes this brother admire him."

Regardless of how awkward it was for Hu Yin, a founder of the Hunan-Hubei School in history, to be called brother by a twenty-year-old Western Army rogue, the person only felt absurd when he heard these words, and he frowned for a moment: "Does Grand Commandant think that the Emperor meant that civil officials don't love money and military officials don't cherish death, so civil officials can cherish death and military officials can love money?"

Han Shizhong was slightly stunned: "Isn't that so?"

"If Grand Commandant thinks so, I'm afraid you can only stop at this jade belt and military governor for the rest of your life, and don't even think about being granted the title of Prince of Commandery like Guo Ziyi." Hu Yin replied coldly. "Generals die in hundreds of battles, brave men return after ten years, are all the dead generals? This is called mutual text!"

Han Shizhong was stunned and couldn't help but panic, protecting his belt and seriously asking again: "What is mutual text?"

"It means that the Emperor thinks that civil officials should at least not love money, but if they are not afraid of death, that's also great. And military officials, not being afraid of death is the minimum requirement, but if you want to overwhelm those who love money and become a Prince of Commandery, it's best if you don't love money either." Hu Yin replied calmly. "Please don't mislead yourself, Grand Commandant Han."

"Is that what it means?" Han Shizhong became even more flustered.

"Yes." Hu Yin continued to say seriously. "Grand Commandant Han, some words, because I was originally a close minister of the forbidden area, it is not good to say more, but now that I am the Attendant Censor of the Palace, and I have personally seen that you do have the qualifications of a famous general, but I can't help but say... Have you been a little complacent and frivolous these days because of the great victory in Shou Zhou and because the Emperor values you more highly?"

Han Shizhong opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

"Also, in fact, regarding today's seizures, I know that with the Emperor's love for you, he will most likely assign the majority to you, but since the Emperor set a precedent in Shou Zhou that the seizures would be turned over to the public and then redistributed uniformly, then if you dare to embezzle half of the seizures in front of me, Hu Mingzhong, and make half a move, when I see the Emperor, there will definitely be a formal impeachment!" Hu Yin became more and more stern, and in the end, he was simply warning him.

Seeing the other party like this, Han Shizhong, who had become more and more unscrupulous these days, didn't know why, but he was actually a little scared.

"There's one more thing... You rode here lightly, but why did Deputy Commander Wang De of the Imperial Camp's Central Army only arrive outside just now?" Hu Yin continued to sit there and asked coldly. "Could it be that someone is again deliberately delaying the information in order to compete for merit? Do you think that just because Brother Yuan Zhen is not here, no one dares to speak to the Emperor about this kind of thing?"

"I was wrong." Hearing this, Han Shizhong couldn't sit still any longer, and actually got up and grabbed the other party's hands, but his strength was too great, and he actually lifted the little Hu Censor from the chair. "If it weren't for Lord Hu's love and protection today, I would have almost made a big mistake! Please, Lord Hu, teach me how to make up for my mistakes?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Hu Yin's face turned red, and he quickly said. "Grand Commandant Han is the mainstay of the country, as long as you take the initiative to apologize to the Emperor, these things are nothing..."

Han Shizhong then breathed a sigh of relief and put down Lord Hu's hand.

At this moment, seeing that the street execution that had been interrupted was about to continue, a military officer under Ding Jin, who had been waiting for half a day and hadn't died yet, but had listened to a bunch of messy words, couldn't bear it any longer and actually shouted loudly in public: "Grand Commandant Han, Lord Hu! Please spare my life, if I can live today, although I dare not say that I will not love money in the future, I will never be afraid of death in battle again!"

Han Shizhong's mood had changed, and he was not annoyed when he heard this, but instead became serious for a moment: "Who are you? How dare you make such a bold statement?! Know that since you are begging for mercy, you must be wanting to cherish death again!"

"My name is Wang Quan!" This person kowtowed to the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Grand Commandant, please listen, it's not that I can't die, but that I don't want to die without a name! I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, hoping to make meritorious service on the battlefield, but I was implicated by a mere piece of trash like Ding Jin, and I am going to die so uselessly on the street today, how can I endure it?"

Han Shizhong paused for a moment, secretly glancing at Hu Yin, and seeing that the other party had no reaction, he suddenly smiled: "In that case, let's see if you will cherish your life in the future!"

After saying this, the Grand Commandant Han completely straightened his expression and used the golden token to change the military order, which was to pardon the rest, seal the treasury, and appease the remaining soldiers. When Wang De led the army into the town, he took the initiative to transfer the golden token and earnestly exhorted him, and then, in Wang Yecha's almost unbelievable gaze, he invited Hu Yin to ride east alone, almost alone to meet the Zhao Emperor.

By the time they arrived at the entourage and saw the Emperor and the civil and military officials waiting by the roadside, it was not yet sunset.

Han Shizhong also followed Hu Yin's advice, first took the initiative to clasp his hands and apologized, telling Zhao Jiu everything about his actions and careful thoughts today, as well as Hu Yin's advice.

Of course, Zhao Jiu was delighted... Firstly, Han Shizhong's words clearly stated that he had indeed successfully quelled the Huai Xi bandit main force in Zhu Gao Town; secondly, as the saying goes, people are never satisfied. Before, there was no one in the entire Imperial Camp who could fight a war. If there was a Han Shizhong who could fight a war, he would naturally rely on him as his courage. Now, if he could listen to advice, slightly enforce military discipline, and change those messy and annoying habits, then of course there would be nothing more to say.

In addition to assigning all of Ding Jin's troops to Han Shizhong's command according to the original plan, Zhao Jiu also specially ordered that all the gold seized be given to the other party, and all the books be given to Hu Yin, who was also pleasantly surprised today, and the silver was given to the civil and military officials of the entourage to make up for their salaries, etc...

In short, up to this point, although Ding Jin's rebellion had some twists and turns, it was finally quelled in one day, and with Han Shizhong, who had been increasingly arrogant recently, taking the initiative to reflect, the Zhao Emperor and everyone in the entourage were naturally relieved.

"So, do you all have anything else to say?" Beside the Huai River under the setting sun, Zhao Jiu looked around and felt at ease.

"Your subject, Hu Yin, Attendant Censor of the Palace, still has a memorial for impeachment! It's just that it was rushed today and I haven't written it yet, so I ask the Emperor to allow me to state it orally!" At this moment, it was actually Hu Yin, who was the protagonist today, who caused trouble again. "This matter has long been in my heart, but before, as a close minister of the forbidden area, it was not good to arbitrarily say right and wrong. Today, as a censor, I have to say it!"

"Please speak, Lord Hu." Zhao Jiu naturally had no reason to refuse, because as the other party said, he was already a censor.

"Your subject impeaches Zhang Jun, Censor-in-Chief, for having two major faults recently!" Hu Yin's opening caused everyone in the entourage to be dumbfounded. "First, because he knew that the Emperor loved Grand Commandant Han, Zhang Xiantai, who was responsible for rectifying military discipline on both sides of the marching route, repeatedly protected Grand Commandant Han's left army of the Imperial Camp, while strictly treating the central army of the Imperial Camp, so that the people of Huaibei were deeply disturbed and the morale of the Huainan army was repeatedly resented!"

Zhao Jiu looked at Zhang Jun, who may have shown a state of panic in front of him for the first time, and inexplicably had a trace of panic.

"Second, Zhang Jun relied on the Emperor's favor and claimed to be a confidant. Also, because he was allowed to recommend people without fail, he has recently made many absurd moves. He carries a blank book with him, along with charcoal, and when he meets someone he likes, he easily writes their name and background in the book, and then he will definitely say, 'I'll give you a good job.' As for everyone in the entourage, they all call it the 'Promotion Book'!" Hu Yin's indignation was completely revealed when he said this. "Emperor, your subject is not impeaching Zhang Jun for colluding and forming cliques in the name of recommendation, making people only know Xiantai and not the Emperor. Because your subject knows that he is frivolous and reckless, so he has this behavior. It is just that after the great victory, the entourage is everywhere frivolous, and he is like that outside due to his character. But the key is, how can the selection of talents in a dignified country be so frivolous? Holding a book every day, writing down the advantages and disadvantages of others everywhere, and then using this to decide their future, is this something a serious person would do?!"

In front of the imperial guards by the roadside, there was a moment of silence. Zhang Jun, who had been impeached by his close brother and subordinate, originally wanted to remove his hat and plead guilty, but he dared not step forward to admit his guilt after hearing the end.

The Zhao Emperor may have been directly illuminated by the setting sun, so that sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was flushed and uncertain... After a long time, he asked Yang Yizhong next to him with hesitation: "Is Ding Jin still eating?"

Yang Yizhong did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward, cupping his hands seriously and answering: "He is waiting for the Emperor to dispose of him."
