Chapter 46: The Great Operation
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty were probably the most suspicious and consciously officials, and as long as they were impeached, regardless of whether they were at fault or not, their first reaction was to ask for an order to go out and serve as local officials.
This is a gentle means for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to exclude dissidents, once the officials suffer trumped-up charges, it means that the bigwigs in the court feel that you have hindered the process of the Great Song Dynasty politics, and you must go away, whether you can come back depends on whether the matter you obstruct has been completed, so, in the Great Song Dynasty, being impeached is a normal state, and it is strange that you have not been impeached, as long as you know each other and leave, those charges of impeaching you will disappear.
Bao Zheng originally just wanted to question the two warriors, do you know these wicked people, and if they do, I hope they can restrain themselves and not make Tokyo City bloody.
After entering the Yun family, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, Yun Zheng and Di Qing were instilling the emperor with the idea of a martial artist and the way of the military formation, this scene made the stubborn Bao Zheng unacceptable no matter what.
The weak Zhao Zhen could not become an emperor like Tang Taizong, and too much military thought will only make him arrogant.
Today's Great Song Dynasty, internal and external troubles are endless, stabilizing the country is more important than expanding the territory, the national tax has been declining for three consecutive years, and the heavens do not bless the Great Song Dynasty, since entering the Qingli years, disasters will occur every year, and each time more than one is more and more poisonous, Pang Ji and Han Qi and others can barely maintain the status quo.
Since Yun Zheng brought the Jiaozhi treasury back to Tokyo, the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty finally had a small surplus, if there is no more disaster next year, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty will tend to normal, after all, the money Yun Zheng got back can only be used for temporary consumption, but it cannot produce new contributions, and it will be spent when it is spent, and the money will not enter the market as long as it is not in circulation. It's very limited.
Blood transfusion can only save a temporary emergency, but it cannot benefit the people for a long time, for which the political elites of the Great Song Dynasty have a clear understanding. The theory of war wealth advocated by Yun Zheng did not make these bureaucrats who pursued the golden mean in any way.
If it comes to reform, it is actually a process of winning the emperor's support, whoever can win the emperor's full support will win, so Pang Ji can tolerate Yun Zheng's unearned efforts to become a third-class department, and they can go home safely after beating the supervision of the imperial history, in their opinion, this is all a small thing, and those efforts are very worthwhile compared to the role of Yun Zheng himself, which is why Liu Du and others were seriously injured. Able to close his mouth and accept the emperor's will.
But this scene that Bao Zheng saw today was absolutely intolerable to the civil officials, Bao Zheng listened for a while, and found that Yun Zheng and Di Qing were using extremely demagogic language to influence the thinking of the emperor's majesty, once the emperor's thinking changed from civil rule to war. The political beliefs and systems of the Great Song Dynasty were a most severe challenge.
Yun Zheng saw that he couldn't do anything, and invited the emperor to sit in his flower hall with a smile, and said that when his wife heard about the arrival of His Majesty, he specially made a few delicious snacks.
Zhao Zhen, who looked uncertain, was still on what Bao Zheng said, sat in the flower hall and frowned at Yun Zheng and asked, "Is it true that you joined forces to kill the wicked in Tokyo City?" I don't blame you for speaking out now. ”
Yun Zheng's eyes widened as he looked at the emperor, and there were more than 10,000 strange things rushing through in his heart. Can such a thing be admitted?
shook his head decisively and said: "Your Majesty, it should be the force of Weichen to control zhì, Weichen as a military general will definitely not let go, but what should not be in the hands of the minister, Weichen will definitely not touch it."
If these things happen in Shuzhong, ask Weichen for help when the government is ineffective. It is incumbent on the dispatcher to capture the thief Kou Weichen, but this is Diji, even if Kaifeng Mansion is unable to capture the bandits, he should ask His Majesty for help, this is the rule. And the most important thing in the army is the rules, so this kind of thing not only Di Gong will not do, but also Wei Chen, because this will only be bad for Wei Chen and Di Gong, and there is no benefit at all, and it is not taken by the wise. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I think the same way, just let the secret spy department deal with this matter." ”
Because the emperor is here, the only one in the Yun family who is qualified to serve the emperor to eat is Lu Qingqing, who is wearing court clothes, wearing a crown of edict beads, and carrying a plate, which is really embarrassing for her.
Bao Zheng's black face is ugly, but there is no less to eat, after the bacon personally brought the fried noodles and twist flowers at home, he also gave the bacon a rare smile, when he was in Shuzhong, his favorite thing was this thing, but he didn't expect the bacon to remember his habit.
The emperor is very troublesome when he eats, and soft things such as pastries can also be tested with silver needles, but twist flowers, noodles and leaves are all *, and there is no way to test them.
Yun Zheng is master sat under the emperor's hand, arched his hand and said: "Weichen has been talking for a long time today, and now he is hungry, please give His Majesty some food to pad his hunger." ”
After speaking, he asked Zou Tong to pick up the contents of each plate and divide some for himself, and ate them in front of the emperor, and then raised his head and invited the emperor to taste it.
Zhao Zhen drank a cup of tea, shook his head with some twist flowers and said with a smile: "Aiqing knows that all the food I have eaten in my life is the food that others have eaten, and it is boring to think about it." ”
Yun Zheng saw that Bao Zheng seemed to have something to say, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the silver needle poison test is actually a joke, there are thousands of poisons in the world, and only a few can be detected by the silver needle, and there are many deviations."
The most common poison in the Great Song Dynasty is arsenic, and the reason why it can be tested by silver needles is because the purity of arsenic is not high, and the silver needles of arsenic with extremely high purity cannot be tested......"
"Shut up, these ghost tricks can also be said in front of His Majesty?" Bao Zheng slapped the table and immediately stood up, pointing at Yun Zheng and scolding him.
Zhao Zhen listened energetically, and when he heard Bao Zheng say this, he said with annoyance: "Bao Qing's family, I am chatting with Yun Qing, since it is idle talk, it is natural to say all kinds of strange things, Yun Qing, you go on." ”
Yun Zheng saw Bao Zheng sitting down indignantly, so he asked the bacon to get a hard-boiled egg for himself, and after peeling off the skin, he asked Zou Tong to take a silver needle to prick the egg, and when the silver needle was pulled out, it was already black, which was an obvious poisonous symptom.
Yun Zheng smiled and stuffed the egg that Zou Tong thought was poisonous into his mouth and ate it before saying: "Look, this is a misjudgment, fortunately, the shell of the egg is not included in the recipe of the daily drug test, otherwise, even if the imperial chef has eighty heads, he will be cut off, and he will die too unjustly." ”
Zhao Zhen also peeled an egg himself, played with a silver needle, looked at the black silver needle and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”
Yun Zheng cleared his throat and said: "This is going to start with alchemy, Wei Chen calls this phenomenon a chemical reaction, which is the so-called principle of the five elements of mutual restraint.
The earliest alchemy was to refine the elixir, and it turned out that no one had refined the real elixir, and those who had taken the elixir for a long time would die early.
There is nothing to be sorry about when those people die, but these people have tried a lot of good things for us with their lives, and they have also started the first chemistry. ”
Zhao Zhen said confusedly: "Longhu Mountain is still alchemy, and some of them have been offered to the palace during the Qingli period, but they were refuted by Fan Wenzheng, and they were thrown into the lotus pond on the spot. ”
Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, sulfur, saltpeter, mercury, realgar, and some five-color stones, quartz, and even jade are all things that Taoists refine immortal grains.
Sulfur saltpeter can make something You know very well, mercury can be embalmed, it is said that the martyrs in the tomb of the Qin Emperor, the horses are filled with mercury, so many qi practitioners are also lifelike after they die, as for realgar, it will become arsenic after heating, in the five-color stone, the green is copper ore, or bile alum, the pink is hematite, as for what is in the ore of other colors, only God knows.
People eat whole grains to survive, and after eating these things, Weichen feels that these people hate themselves for not dying. ”
Zhao Zhen likes to talk to Yun Zheng very much, Bao Zheng has long seen this, Yun Zheng always has the ability to say an irrelevant thing interesting and vivid, even Bao Zheng himself listened to it unconsciously, these words felt a little absurd at first, but then a careful taste will find that it is indeed very reasonable, and it is terrible to go on like this.
So Bao Zheng asked His Majesty to return to the palace after the emperor used a little heart, and Zhao Zhen saw that the sun was already in the west, so he drove back to the palace surrounded by guards and Bao Zheng and others.
After Yun Zheng sent the emperor away with a smile, he said to Xiaolin: "Then send Doumu Hedgehog, Jing Mu Qian, Sam Ape, Bi Yuewu, and Winged Fire Snake to participate in the Kui Wood Wolf operation, and clean up the City Fox Society rats in Tokyo City in the shortest possible time, leaving the Heart Moon Fox and Wei Yueyan to deal with the aftermath, it will take seven days, and after seven days, they will go directly back to Huanzhou for a while." ”
Xiaolin nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "The emperor said that the secret spy department will be dispatched, which requires very complicated procedures, so there is no problem in just a few days, and there will be problems after a long time." ”
Yun Zheng said worriedly: "Brother Hao, they can't stand in the capital, this guy is actually stubbornly planning to do a lifetime of catching heads, and the temptation of sugar sugar doesn't seem to have much effect, this guy is dying of heart after eating the scales?" ”
Xiaolin smiled bitterly and said: "If this guy wasn't obsessed with sugar candy, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and the transfer to Beijing was still Mr. Lu's effort, but this guy is also a man, and he is estimated to be very bitter." ”
