Chapter 308: The Stain on Huabiao (Part II)
After Ouyang Shi finished resigning from Yan Hu, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion next door, Yang Yingqi was recuperating in the back, and it was Han Fang who was sitting in the main room on duty this day, and he hurriedly asked for gifts when he saw Ouyang Shi. The two of them met yesterday by the city gate, Ouyang Shi was able to go north this time, and Han Fang's advice really played a key role, so Ouyang Shi felt pleasing to the eye when he saw him, and after a few comforts, he asked where the other ministers were.
Han Fang said: "Lord Chen Xian is taking a lunch break next door, Lord Chen Zhenghui has gone to the household department, and Lord Zhang Hao is his turn to rest today." ”
Ouyang Shi asked Yang Yingqi again, and Han Fang said: "Yang Xiang took a day off yesterday, and he was able to work today, but he didn't come to the front, but we just sent the documents back to be signed." Lord Guo Hao is now discussing with Yang Xiang in the back. ”
At this time, there were a few central officials walking in the room, and Ouyang Shi was not easy to talk about some personal topics, so he directly asked Han Fanghua what was going on in the altar. As soon as these words came out, several officials couldn't help but look over. Han Fang hurriedly said, "Fourth General, let's talk in the council hall." "I invited Ouyang Shi to the meeting room next to it, this room is very soundproof, as soon as the door is closed, the officials outside can't hear the discussion inside.
Han Fang invited Ouyang Shi to take a seat, gave him a gift again, and then said, "Why did the marshal suddenly ask about this matter?" ”
Ouyang Shi asked rhetorically, "I shouldn't ask?" ”
Han Fang said: "This ...... No. It's just the imperial court system, and the civil and military officials have their own duties, and this matter ......"
Ouyang Shi intercepted and said: "If I take care of it, will I exceed my authority?" ”
Han Fang hurriedly said, "The fourth general knows that Han Fang doesn't mean this. Han Fang has always respected the four generals, which is different from those who wait for the four generals to enter Tanggu before they meet the tiger. ”
Ouyang Shi said with a smile: "This, I naturally know." ”
Han Fang said again: "This is the only way, so Han Fang dared to give a word of advice to the four generals: Four generals, this matter is not easy to do!" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Although I haven't figured out the cause and effect of this matter, I have guessed that there is a lot of article here." But before the eldest brother left, he transferred me to Beijing, that is, he entrusted me to assist the prince in supervising the country, is it really only for me to enter Beijing to be the director of Jiandu? If this matter is simple, I don't even bother to ask! ”
Han Fang said: "It's just ......"
Ouyang Shi said: "Don't 'just' or 'just', what is there to say directly!" I just came from the queen, and even the queen entrusted me to ask the seventh child about this matter! ”
Han Fang was shocked: "The queen is also concerned? This...... Alas, this is all because Liu Cao is not angry, so he made things so ugly. ”
"Liu Cao?" Ouyang Shi said: "Is it the civil official who keeps the truth?" ”
"Not bad." Han Fang said: "He is also the deputy envoy of Hebei West Road, and he is also in charge of the grain and salary in northern Jinbei." In the past two years, due to tax reductions and exemptions, most of the states and counties on the east and west roads of Hebei have to be subsidized by the center, and only a few states and counties can supplement agriculture with industry and commerce. Liu Cao was very fruitful in Zhen's governance, not only did not want the imperial court to subsidize him from the beginning, but also helped the Northern Jin Army raise a lot of food and salary, so Qu Duan would recommend him as the deputy envoy of Hebei West Road, in addition to Zhending, Zhongshan, Xinzhou, Wutai and other northern Jin prefectures and counties also allocated to him. After he took office, he did a good job, and the Northern Jin Army not only had no shortage of food and salary, but also had more and more equipment and horses in the case of no additional subsidies in the center, which were all the credit of Liu Cao. ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Then his credit is not small." Northern Jin is one of the two major lines of defense against Zonghan, if northern Jin is lost, not only Hebei, but also Hedong, Gyeonggi, and even Shaanxi will be difficult to stabilize. ”
Han Fang said: "Yes, yes." ”
Ouyang Shi asked again: "What does the matter of Kehua Watch Altar have to do with him?" ”
Han Fang sighed and said: "Liu Cao's policy is to put the army first and then the people, so the people's livelihood in the area of Zhending and Zhongshan is ...... It's a little tougher. ”
Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "So, those beggars and ronins all wandered from Zhending and Zhongshan?" Seeing that Han Fang should be, he asked again: "Then why don't they go to the Huai'en camp?" ”
"This ......" Han Fang's face was a little ugly, and under Ouyang Shi's questioning, he finally said: "It seems that Liu Cao used some means to prevent Zhending and the people of Zhongshan from leaving their belongings without permission, these beggars are scared when they think about it." ”
Ouyang Shi is a person who has done pro-people government affairs, when he opened up the flow, he dealt with people's livelihood affairs all day long, and he was very familiar with the people's feelings, as soon as he heard this, he knew that the people's livelihood in Zhending and Zhongshan was probably not only "difficult", glared at Han Fang and said: "Lord Han, you tell me the truth, what happened to the people in these two places?" ”
"This ......" Han Fang sighed and said, "I don't know." ”
"Don't know? Didn't you send someone to find out? ”
Han Fang sighed: "If you send someone to investigate, I'm afraid I can't pretend I don't know about this matter." ”
Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "Does the seventh elder know about this matter?" ”
Han Fang said: "Naturally, such a big thing, even the queen has heard of it, let alone the seventh general." ”
Ouyang Shi asked, "Then what did he say?" ”
Han Fang said: "The meaning of the Seventh General is also to put it on hold first, and wait for His Majesty to triumph. ”
"Nonsense!" Ouyang Shi said: "Why can our Han become stronger and stronger, and the people will return to their hearts?" Why? Isn't it just the word people's heart? This matter must be investigated, it must be investigated! ”
Han Fang asked, "How are the four generals going to check?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "This matter involves a national event, and it is not comparable to ordinary cases. If you just let the judge handle it according to the law, I am afraid that you will not be able to grasp the proportion, and if you let the prime minister deal with it directly, I am afraid that it will hinder the justice of the law and make a bad start. I think this matter has to be asked by the Yuan National Assembly. ”
Han Fang was shocked: "Yuan National Assembly, this ...... That's a big deal, isn't it? ”
"How can it be too big?" Ouyang Shi said: "This matter involves the judges and administrative officials in Tanggu, and even the people's livelihood and government affairs on Hebei West Road, and the defense of Yunzhong and Jinbei. I'll mention this matter. ”
When Han Fang heard this, he knew that Ouyang Shi was going to convene a meeting of the Yuan National Representative in the Central Committee. The Yuan Minmin Conference of the Han Dynasty continued to expand in size as its territory expanded. As early as after the opening up of Liuqiu, the headquarters of the Yuan Minmin Conference found that it was very difficult to directly manage the Yuan Bumin in the whole territory, so it referred to the division of administrative regions and set up a lower-level Yuan Minmin Conference, and each region would send a number of representatives to the central location, called the Standing Representative of the Yuan Bumin in the center, and formed a standing body responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Yuan Minmin Conference. Ouyang Shi is the head of the East China Sea delegation, and after entering Beijing, he automatically becomes the executive representative of the Central Committee, and is qualified to initiate such a motion.
The Central Standing Representative Council has the right to supervise the judiciary and administration, Ouyang Shi's suggestion is also legal and reasonable, Han Fang thought again, Ouyang Shi's proposal still needs to go through Di Yu's level, although in legal theory, Di Yu is qualified to request a special meeting even if he opposes Ouyang Shi, but with the relationship between Di and Ou, it should not make things stiff, he thought: "There is still a back and forth from Ouyang's motion to Speaker Di's decision to convene, and during this period of time, if Yang Xiang feels that things are inappropriate, he will find a way to stop it." So I didn't say anything.
Ouyang asked Han Fang to list the relevant matters and personnel, and drafted a document as an explanation, and asked Han Fang to draft it for himself, and then signed and submitted it to the Yuan National Central Committee. After Di Yu got it, he also felt that the matter of Huabiaotan should be dealt with, but for such a major military and political matter, according to the procedure, the emperor, the prime minister and the privy envoy should be informed of it. On the Yanjing side, Yang Kaiyuan said that the Privy Council had no objection to the investigation of the matter after reading the notification document, and sent the reply document without printing mud to Zhi Yunwu. After Zhi Yunwu got it, he thought: "Third Uncle is doing this, is he asking me to make a decision?" Well, no, he wants Uncle Seven to take an idea. "So he sent someone to the prime minister's house next door to ask for a doctor.
Yang Yingqi rested for two days, and his body was fine, but he still stayed at home and worked, and when he heard that Zhen Yunwu sent someone to ask about his illness, he quickly put down the affairs at hand and went to the palace to say goodbye.
Zhi Yunwu asked Yang Yingqi what to do about this, and Yang Yingqi asked rhetorically: "What does the prince think should be done?" ”
Zhi Yunwu said: "The fourth uncle suggested an investigation, which is good. But now that I'm investigating, I'm afraid the timing is a little wrong. Seventh uncle, you also told me, the most important thing now is stability, don't have an accident anywhere, support your father to pacify Mobei, and wait for the triumph of the army. So I don't think it's time to do a thorough investigation. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The fourth brother said that he wanted to investigate, but he didn't say how to investigate, let alone how to deal with it." He's not a big-picture guy either. ”
Zhi Yunwu asked, "Then did the seventh uncle agree?" ”
Yang Yingqi replied: "I have no opinion. ”
Zhi Yunwu was overjoyed and said: "That's great! I have actually been waiting for this matter for a long time, and I hope that the fourth uncle can give justice to the people of northern Jinbei as soon as possible! ”
Yang Yingqi sighed when he heard this, Zhi Yunwu couldn't help but wonder when he saw it, so he asked him what he sighed, Yang Yingqi said: "The prince's hope, I'm afraid it will be disappointed." ”
Zhi Yunwu asked, "Why is this?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "I can't say the joints in this for a while, but the prince will understand it slowly if he looks at it carefully." ”
Zhi Yunwu was quite suspicious when he heard it, but he still sealed the reply document and expressed his support for Di Yu's decision. At that moment, Di Yu convened a meeting to raise the matter, and elected twelve central executive representatives, including Ouyang Shi, as the delegation to deal with the matter, with Ouyang Shi as the head, fully responsible for the review of the matter, and the officials, the military and the people, regardless of their titles and merits, must cooperate as much as possible.
When the news came out, it was ten days after Ouyang Shi arrived in Tanggu, and the people of Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Donghai were all eagerly waiting for the news, and the relevant factions had taken action one after another before the news was confirmed, and Ouyang Shi's mansion in Tangnan became lively.
