Emperor Zhaoning looked out the window and said, "I never knew that blindly fighting for power and profit would end up like this." ”

Tingfang picked up a large kettle and steadily poured water into the glass teapot. The tea balls in the teapot bloom layer by layer under the soaking of boiling water, and the fragrance of tea spreads and refreshes people's hearts.

Ting Fang smiled and said to Emperor Zhaoning: "The newly produced flower tea of Yaozhai is wrapped in Lushan cloud tea, and it is like a dead tree in spring when it enters the water." The fragrance of tea is overflowing, the tea soup is clear, the flowers are colorful, and its taste is sweet, Your Majesty tastes it? ”

Emperor Zhaoning waved his hand and said, "I am a layman, and I can't eat so many ways." ”

No matter how vulgar the royal family is, it will not be bad if you can't eat tea. Emperor Zhaoning was upset, and Ting Fang chuckled: "Ten taels of silver." ”

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Ting Fang suspiciously.

Ting Fang said: "I can't afford it, the merchant is in a hurry to send it, and I don't know how much bribe was given to the porter in order to send this idea of tea." ”

Emperor Zhaoning asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ting Fang said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Who wants to work without benefits? The merchant gave me tea because he wanted to bully others and grab greater benefits. The emperor wants to win people's hearts, and the first prince also wants to win people's hearts, and people's hearts are also interests. But the center has no money, and the official dispatch is too unsightly, is there any other way than to indulge in corruption? If you are embezzled by corruption, and if you have money, you can use the money to get promoted, and then get richer. In the long run, this will be the case with the DPRK and China. The emperors in history have used more cool officials at this time. However, our problem is that if we want to maintain the imperial court, we really can't leave them for the time being. The triennial imperial examination does not train people so fast. The high-ranking officials of the center, even though they are not disgusting, they are sophisticated. Isn't it nonsense to change a young official and come up and slash indiscriminately? For example, this time, His Majesty knows the crux of the problem, but he can't solve it. Then let's think differently and Hugh will fall into the choice of killing or not killing. Whatever does not leave loopholes, Your Majesty may wish to think about what benefits can be obtained by using loopholes. ”

Emperor Zhaoning asked: "How can you be sure that there must be loopholes in everything you do?" ”

Ting Fang said: "There are no gods in the world, how can anyone be able to do everything without leaking?" No matter how good a person is, some people suspect him of hiding treachery. It's not easy for people to find fault in life? There is no stubble today, there is always stubble yesterday, and there will be stubble tomorrow. If you want to really do practical things, you can't naturally stare at the corners. But on the other hand, if you want to rectify people, you have to find faults. For example, if Your Majesty wants to use me, he will naturally say that he is not to blame for the past, and if he is disgusted with me, the matter of Nanchang will be turned out and talked about! ”

Emperor Zhaoning: "......" horizontal and vertical are all justified by you, right!?

Ting Fang smiled again: "The stubble of this matter is the 'benevolence' that the courtiers said. Ren can make a fuss, and it is no good to fight with them, bamboo is not afraid of the wind, and Gai follows the trend, and then rebounds. It's just a ploy. The courtiers can be so arrogant, and there is also a reason for being fearless. Seeing that His Majesty is not easy to coax, and his means are superb, he will slowly become honest. Now in the court, compared to the end of last year, it's much better, right? ”

"Hmm."

Ting Fang said: "There are bullies everywhere, and the court is no exception. It's time for Your Majesty to enlist your own team. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "Is that a corrupt official?" ”

Ting Fang said with a smile: "I didn't say that I can't unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future!" After speaking, he smiled, and said, "I know that Your Majesty is unwilling to indulge, but the longer the stalemate lasts, the longer the people will be strangled." It's better to cut through the mess with a quick knife. As I said earlier, if you want to be in charge, you don't have all the corners. There are always one or two who must be abandoned, and what is given up is stubble, and it is also helpless. When I was in Jiangxi, I don't know how many rich peasants were killed. I also want no one to die, no one to be hurt, but I can't. Just like Your Majesty is talking to me, at best it is in the south study, Your Majesty is sitting on the dragon chair, and I have to reward one, and talk eloquently. But can it? Isn't it just to ruin the festival and shut up in my bedroom to talk? I don't know how many ugly words have been circulated in the book. I can't take care of it. ”

Emperor Zhaoning said sullenly: "You are getting more and more old-fashioned. ”

Ting Fang said in her heart: I am inferior to you!

Zhao Ning sighed: "I know, let's take a look at the hundred officials and see who is not so greedy." It's not that I'm naïve, and I can't count on a long-term vision if I scrape the ground until I dig three feet into the ground. Those who are less greedy can at least understand that it is easy to cause chaos, and no one can get good. Where there has been no riot, the magistrate may be able to count on the idea of filling the center. One is that if they can stabilize the situation, they must have the means; The second is that I have transferred them and have been more faithful to me. Speaking of which, none of the officials in the center were promoted by me, so they have no gratitude to me. ”

Ting Fang said: "Yes! Ting Fang was relieved that she had finally grown up!

Emperor Zhaoning was silent for a long time before he said, "Taifu, thank you." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Your Majesty is the common people in the world, and the minister is one of the common people, why does Your Majesty need to say thank you?" ”

Emperor Zhaoning looked at the hour, it was not early. got up and said: "Okay, I'm not used to talking about you, and there are excerpts to criticize, go back first!" After I clean up the palace, I should go to the palace to talk. Seeing that the sky is nesting in your place, the faces of the three of us are not good-looking. ”

Ting Fang hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhaoning came out of the Dingguo Mansion and looked much calmer. The eunuchs looked at each other, and by the end of the evening, the courtiers almost knew that Taifu Ye had coaxed Emperor Zhaoning to change his mind again! Everyone also had to serve Tingfang, and if ordinary people only lost their courtesies slightly, they would be recorded to death by the emperor. She is the only one, and the rebellion is all over. Yesterday, he was obviously disgraced like that, but today Emperor Zhaoning obediently went to her house to talk. The literati are all good at prostitution, that is, they are staring at the window, and they also make up thousands of articles. What is the three-person game together? Group play is not unusual! Both of them are favored ministers, hehe!

However, the civil officials laughed for less than a few days, and found that although Emperor Zhaoning was shunned, he was biting Yu Siwen and did not let go. not only wants to Ling Chi Yu Siwen, but also implicates his three clans and family members, and controls him in brocade clothes, trying to force him to say his accomplice. The face of the Jiangnan Party was brilliant. It is impossible for Emperor Zhaoning to uproot the Jiangnan Party, but he doesn't know which one the thunder will hit him! In the families of Yu Siwen's three clans, I don't know how many daughters and granddaughters of their families there are. If you don't have a teaching department, you can catch one or two, can you still catch them all?

The imperial court has always been full of factions, and Jiangnan is powerful, but it is not unmanned elsewhere. What Lu Party, Hui Party, Gui Party jumped out one after another to attack and annihilate. The good positions in the court are all counted, and most of them are occupied by the Jiangnan Party, and the rest are eager to pull a few more into the water to take advantage of themselves.

Under such a pinch, some officials were immediately bitten. Zhen Xianning, the secretary of the Household Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was greedy for millions of ink. Zhen Xianning folded his self-defense and refused to admit it! When the court ascended, it was a mess, and the folds of the imperial history flew all over the sky, and the amount of greedy ink involved became more and more outrageous. Emperor Zhaoning watched quietly, pretending to be angry every day, smashing cups and bowls, and saying: "Severe punishment!" Punish them all! ”

In the face of Emperor Zhaoning's growing "anger", the officials from Jiangnan began to panic. There are north-south lists in the imperial examination, in order to limit the strength of Jiangnan. Now Yuan Shoufu has defected to Emperor Zhaoning, and he happens to be able to play the means of pulling one by one. Everyone thought to themselves that it was the one who was pulled, not the one who was beaten. At this moment, they were somewhat caught in Yu Siwen's case, and Yuan Shoufu refused to care about them, so he just jumped to his feet in a hurry.

Zhen Xianning was stared at to death by people from all walks of life, not counting corruption, and also accepted half of Yu Siwen's money. On the seventh or eighth day, he was taken away by Jinyiwei for investigation. Jin Yiwei's interrogation methods were extremely ruthless, and in less than half a day, his leg bones had been broken. Zhen Xianning, who has been pampered for many years, knows that he must be a companion on Huangquan Road, his in-laws. Jiangnan people are so beautiful, thinking of their own powder-like grandchildren, howling hoarsely in prison. The Teaching Division, also known as the Happy Club, is not only for women! It sounds good to say that it is a place to sell music, and who doesn't know the Tao inside! He didn't know how many beautiful men and women he had slept with in his own house, and this time it was his family's turn, and his internal organs were like fire, and he couldn't help but die!

Zhen Xianning's sister married into the Yuan family, which happened to be Yuan Shouyi's grandmother, but she was deceased. Zhen Xianning's wife ran to Yuan's house every day, begging her nephew to give her a way out. How dare Yuan Shouyi's father answer, he actually pointed to the excuse that the father and son would end up together, and hid in the Xu family, leaving only his wife to entertain at home. Xu Jingchang is the head of Jinyiwei, and the people involved hate to have to beat Xu's door. Mrs. Zhen Xianning cried heartbroken, seeing that the men in the family were arrested and imprisoned one by one, and their life and death were unknown, she even cried and begged with her daughter-in-law.

In addition to Zhen Xianning, there is also the left attendant of the Ministry Qi Yiqin was implicated, his daughter-in-law is surnamed Yu, and the eldest grandson is the grandson of Yuan Shoufu. The wife who has not passed through the door is not afraid of being confiscated, but if she encounters it like this, it will be difficult to say goodbye.

The relationship between the Jiangnan Party and the in-laws is complicated, and it is actually that someone in the family has fallen. In desperation, he had to organize a more fierce counterattack. As Emperor Zhaoning said, in the entire center, no one is not a huge greed. The big guys are all corrupt officials, and they are much more sophisticated than Yushi in grabbing evidence! All kinds of detailed corruption data flew on Emperor Zhaoning's desk, and Emperor Zhaoning looked at the figures comparable to the treasury, and couldn't hold it anymore, and he was really dizzy.

As more and more people were beaten by Jinyi Weiqu, the remaining people in the court were like frightened birds, and the Jiangnan Party couldn't take care of it anymore, just on the way to work on the first day of Tingfang's maternity leave, Wang Xiongying, a Qing official in the Ministry of Officials, stopped Tingfang and said: "I've seen Taifu!" ”

Ting Fang has memorized the resume of the DPRK and China, and all the officials in the ministry know it, and when he sees Wang Xiongying, who is from Huai'an, he knows what he wants to do. Said quietly: "Wang Langzhong? What's the matter? ”

Wang Xiongying pulled out a smile and said: "Xiaguan has long admired Taifu's great talent in arithmetic, I don't know if I can come to the door to ask for advice or two?" ”

Ting Fang said with a smile: "I don't care, my father-in-law is very annoying." ”

Wang Xiongying said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, the lower officials like to learn, if the prince is willing to give advice, three lives are lucky!" ”

Ting Fang said: "I know, let's see if I'm idle." ”

Wang Xiongying begged: "Taifu, the lower officials are dedicated to learning, please Taifu to fulfill it." ”

Ting Fang's heart moved, nodded and said, "See you on the day." ”

Wang Xiongying smiled happily when he boarded, made several gestures in succession, and watched Tingfang go to the study.

Ting Fang was able to enter the study, so he found Eunuch Sun beside Li Chuhui and instructed: "You take the time to tell Your Majesty, just say that Wang Xiongying, the minister, wants to go to my house to learn arithmetic." ”

Without a head or a brain, Eunuch Sun's heart tightened, repeated in a low voice, then saluted to Tingfang and quickly exited the upper study. Emperor Zhaoning was extremely unlucky, any harem concubine, mixed all his life, somewhat some means. However, Empress Dowager Zhao lived all her life and was stupid and sweet, so that the entire palace was a living person for Emperor Zhaoning. Li Chuhui was born in the Qiandi and was raised by Ting Yao, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him were more credible than the others, so Ting Fang dared to command. This is also why Emperor Zhaoning was scolded for being willful, and he had to ask Ting Yao to be in charge of palace affairs. Empress Dowager Zhao and Yan Chunwen are wastes, and the palace concubine is not credible, is he living under the surveillance of others all his life? Emperor Zhaoning wanted to abolish Yan Chunwen, there were too many reasons.

In the broad daylight, it was not easy to meet Emperor Zhaoning. The courtiers who were discussing the proceedings were one after another, and Eunuch Sun waited for a long time before Eunuch Zhao saw him and forced him to cut into a line. Eunuch Sun saw Emperor Zhaoning, and his face was full of smiles: "Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess asked the slave to tell you quietly." ”

Emperor Zhaoning also laughed: "Then you will come over." ”

Eunuch Sun bowed down and walked to the side of Emperor Zhaoning, and said like this. Emperor Zhaoning's heart was on fire, and he had to smile and say: "I know, if he wants to go, he will go." ”

Eunuch Sun answered yes and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Ting Fang received Emperor Zhaoning's reply, knew it in his heart, and readily accepted Wang Xiongying's greetings. There are still two days before the rest of the day, and the Jiangnan Party has received news. On that day, Emperor Zhaoning deliberately wanted to run a horse and let Xu Jingchang accompany him, and the Wenchen of the Jiangnan Party saw Xu Jingchang go out and immediately flocked to him.

Said that he was here to ask for arithmetic, who didn't know to come to give gifts? The preciousness of the "bundle" made Chen's heart tremble. Ting Fang soothed: "Your Majesty's order, my mother should go and rest." Aunt Lao Miao. The color point is good, don't drop a gold bead, report it all to me. As he spoke, he reconciled the bean sprouts that had learned arithmetic with Miao Qin's family, and frantically registered and made a book.

In one day's work, the gift that Ting Fang received was nearly 100,000 taels! Wrote a Western arithmetic problem overnight and sent it to the court, and Emperor Zhaoning solved the answer and sneered again and again!

Ting Fang accepted the gift, and the interrogation continued. Under Jinyiwei's criminal law, only Emperor Zhaoning wanted to reveal it, and there was no doubt about whether to ask or not. Ting Fang was willing to accept the gift, and everyone thought she was willing to pour out the anger of Emperor Zhaoning, but there was no movement! Wang Xiongying was in a hurry, his son-in-law is now in prison, and his daughter was born to a favored concubine, crying at home every day, making trouble and hanging himself, Wang Xiongying was very wearable, so he had to muster up the courage to go to the gate of the Dingguo Mansion again.

In fact, who is hiding such a movement from Humuri? It's just contrived. I'm really anxious, where does it matter if Xu Jingchang is not at home. He's just not there, so he doesn't know you're giving gifts? voted in the gatehouse, and didn't wait at home, a dignified man poked at the door, making it clear that he wanted to cut in line.

Tingfang rarely receives colleagues at home, and she is not a real power official after all, so she gives more gifts every day, but there are fewer people who really ask her to do things. She can go straight to the heavens, and ask her for trivial things, isn't it a waste of money! This time, the matter is really big, even the party leader Yuan Ge Lao can't hold it down, no matter how expensive it is, she has to worship the Bodhisattva, and she really has to settle the Zhaoning Emperor who wants to calm his head.

was blocked by Wang Xiongying, and he collected so much money, it's not good to see. led Wang Xiongying to the main hall before taking a seat, Wang Xiongying said: "How many days has the Taifu seen Your Majesty?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Your Majesty has not been summoned. ”

Wang Xiongying said: "Your Majesty's liver has been on fire for a few days. Sheng, the dinosaur body is hindered, and the lower officials are worried. ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Your Majesty has pity on the people, if the smoke is everywhere today, how can you not worry?" "Ting Fang is hehe, he has checked a string of corruption, and he blames Emperor Zhaoning for being hot? The 100,000 snowflakes and silver she received were full of anger. Those arrested have already had their belongings confiscated, and the female dependents were able to go out before, but then they were all locked up in their homes. Those who can come to Tingfang are all for their relatives and to protect themselves from being implicated. If it is not the strength of the family, it is easy to throw thousands of taels of silver, which is really a big deal!

The first thing about mixing officialdom is to be cheeky. was stabbed by Ting Fang, Wang Xiongying was not painful or itchy, and said: "If you want to govern a big country and spray Xiaoxian, why is Your Majesty in a hurry?" His Majesty respects the Taifu the most, and asks the Taifu to comfort him a little, which is really a blessing for all officials and all the people. ”

Ting Fang lazily played in an official tone, and said: "I have an excerpt, and I just wrote it." If Wang Langzhong has to pass by, he will ask you to run errands and send it to the Yamen of the General Administration. ”

Tingfang's excerpts have always been presented directly to Emperor Zhaoning, and if he wants to pass through the political department, it will be made public. Wang Xiongying took the fold, didn't dare to open it in person, and pretended to put it into his sleeve. Ting Fang said: "I don't know how to read eight shares, and it is also vernacular to write excerpts, if Wang Langzhong looks at it for me, if there is something wrong with the words and sentences, I can modify it." ”

Wang Xiongying hurriedly picked up the fold, opened it and looked at it, and was dumbfounded! If Ting Fang doesn't make a move, it will be abolished! Staring at Ting Fang, it's too bold! Wang Xiongying's cold sweat came down, and the Jiaofang Division made a profit to supply the inner treasury, although Tingfang's move avoided the suffering of his family, but it took the advantage of Emperor Zhaoning. Isn't that adding fuel to the fire?

Ting Fang said lightly: "I'm a straight person, and I don't know how to talk around the bend like that, but I don't feel happy." I will ask you directly, should the arrested person be killed for the silver in the treasury piled up in my house? ”

Wang Xiongying didn't dare to answer.

Ting Fang said: "Those who are anxious to come to me, aren't you unreasonable!" Do you do less to block Your Majesty on weekdays? Why are you afraid that his dragon body is in the way now? If it is unreasonable, how can I intercede? On that day, I briefly mentioned benevolence, and His Majesty was annoyed and attacked me in the Qianqing Palace. I am the Taifu, in the end, a courtier, can I still force Your Majesty not to act according to the law? ”

Wang Xiongying smiled bitterly: "Taifu's medicine is also too fierce." ”

Ting Fang sneered: "I am the queen mother, and I can't get so many people." I ask you, do you think they should be punished or not? ”

Wang Xiongying had no choice but to say: "Yes." ”

Ting Fang said: "No, it's over." Since you are making a fuss about benevolence, simply do it to the end. Without a lowly membership, there is no teaching workshop. All you ask for is face. It's just that it doesn't fall there, and it's easy to talk about it. According to their husbands' culpability, they were punished to work as female workers in a textile factory for a few years, and I didn't feel sorry for receiving this money, right? ”

Wang Xiongying was in a cold sweat again, Mrs. Ye deserves to be a generation of heroes, and he really dares to say anything. But thinking of his daughter's comfort, he asked hard: "What kind of textile factory?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Your Majesty said that he would set up a factory in Gyeonggi to supply the military supplies of the five armies. This matter is being handled by the governor of our family. Not to mention the side, his character, I can't find anything bad. In the place under the jurisdiction of the five armies, it is said that work is work. It's just that the female workers next to her are lazy, or deduct money, or get reformed. A sinner has no money to withhold, and she must not be reformed, nor can she suffer some flesh and skin. There are all female dependents, and the patrol is also a woman, but it is harder, and half of it does not damage the reputation. Those who have not come out of the cabinet are just asking people to pick their ages in the future, and you will have to worry more about choosing a mate. I thought about it for days and nights before I came up with such a solution. If you are not satisfied, the silver will be carried away, and I will be lazy to take care of it. After speaking, he smiled arrogantly, "My family has shipping, and I also manage His Majesty's private treasury, so I like your little money!" It's not my fifth sister. My husband's mother cried tears in front of me, I don't want to make a face for my fifth sister, when I rarely care about you! ”

Where did Wang Xiongying dare to answer, and said again and again: "Xiaguan Meng Lang." ”

Ting Fang said: "You go and hand over the fold." I am not the only one who can accomplish this, and you should persuade Your Majesty more. It is also good for Your Majesty to learn more from Confucius and Sages. ”

What arrogant words! Emperor Zhaoning is really spoiled by Mrs. Ye! Wang Xiongying's heart was a little calm, and when he saw that it was not early, he didn't dare to disturb anymore, so he said goodbye and left home.

The next day, the Secretary of General Affairs received the excerpt, and there was an uproar! Abolish untouchables! Easy to say. Who doesn't have slaves? Slaves and maids do not have to pay taxes, but if you count the good people, you have to pay as many taxes as you raise for slaves and maids. There are many slaves and maids in the world, and the treasury is actually thicker. Wang Xiongying also reacted, and blamed Mrs. Ye for not being afraid to cut Emperor Zhaoning's inner treasury, and cooperating with her to calculate the poll tax! Thinking of her previous policy of paying taxes together for men and women in Jiangxi, she took a big shot. Leg praised: High! It's really high!

The Jiangnan officials immediately praised it and called it benevolent. He also gave an example of how reasonable the employment system in the early Song Dynasty was. The more books I read, the more focused on the harm of population mergers! The anger of non-Jiangnan officials is reversed. It's just a matter of interceding for the Jiangnan Party, what does it mean to ask them to pay an extra tax in vain? There are even more families who control local music households, green buildings, and human trafficking, and they are even more scolded.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is like a crazy ginseng Tingfang who has beaten chicken blood, and it is not good to say that it is "benevolence", and it is corrupt and old accounts will be turned over!

The participating Tingfang needs to fold and defend himself. Ting Fang didn't fight with them, took a stack of plans, and entered the Qianqing Palace. Qianqing Palace was arguing for Ting Fang's face and neck. The Jiangnan Party led by Yuan Shoufu strongly supported Tingfang and praised her as heaven and earth; Led by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they insisted on Tingfang's rebellion, and immediately forced Emperor Zhaoning to kill the rebels and correct the dynasty.

Ting Fang just shook in, and the two groups of people stared at Ting Fang in unison, why didn't she have to queue up?

Tingfang looked at a group of courtiers with disdain, she Ye Tingfang saw Emperor Zhaoning, unless she pretended, when did she need to queue up?

The Jiangnan Party watched Ting Fang enter the Qianqing Palace, and no one dared to stop him, and he was simply excited. This time the dispute was not only to get his own relatives, but also to use Tingfang's anger to suppress Emperor Zhaoning's anger and sabotage the conspiracy of other factions. The Jiangnan Party is in the same spirit, and if Emperor Zhaoning blows up again, there is no need to mention face, the important thing is that the good position they occupy will be robbed. The first thing they want is to stop. Just don't pursue it, save your strength, and don't play how you want to play in the future. Since Ye Taifu helped them, they had to arch Ye Taifu to the altar in order to suppress Emperor Zhaoning. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than that they thought they were allied with Tingfang.

Eyes warned, lightning and lightning. Zhang Qi, the imperial history of Zuodu, saw that the Jiangnan Party seemed to have met the master's earth dog, and his anger can be imagined. Jiangnan used to be Tingfang's own place, and now it still has huge control, and its position can be imagined! Zhang Qi is a native of Shandong, and his family is being plagued by bandits, with countless deaths and injuries. And because Emperor Zhaoning decreed that the transaction of land and property does not have to go through the clan. All the land left by the dead was given to Wang Tian. And Wang Tian's initiator is Ting Fang!

New hatred, old hatred! Zhang Qi sneered and ridiculed: "Taifu is actively running, but he really thinks about Huaiyang, and his sisterhood is deep!" ”

The faces of the people present changed in unison, and Emperor Zhaoning was angry when he ascended, beating people without slapping his face, and revealing the scars of his wife in public, .d want to die? 166 Reading Network
