Chapter 288: Slap in the face
Zhao Xu's words were as calm as thunder.
Especially Su Song and Han Zongdao, in their opinion, Zhao Xu was only named.
Even though the two of them have been up and down in the sea for many years, they are still a little unnatural at the moment.
The words of the official family are the truth.
Habits become natural, many things, no matter how illegal they are, become 'legal', and everyone doesn't feel anything, or thinks there is something, but they have no choice but to let it go, or even follow the crowd.
It's like 'measuring the acres of land', everyone knows that there are a lot of filth on the acres, and the land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and the doom needs to be solved, but who dares to touch it easily?
Wang Anshi of the Shenzong Dynasty did it, what was the result?
What about the final Reformers?
What happened to those who changed the law in history?
Everyone knows the drawbacks, but no one wants to do it.
If you don't do well, you will be rich and glorious, so what's the bad?
Su Song, Han Zongdao was silent, they uphold 'stability', it's best not to move anything, but the official family will break the problem, how can they justify?
Zhang Dian said directly: "Your Majesty, this disease has been a long time, and non-fierce medicine is not enough to treat it, so please hand it over to the political hall for disposal." β
Zhao Xu looked at the four ministers, these four people, with different thoughts, really want to hand it over to them, maybe they will be out of shape, and said in a deep voice directly: "First, the political affairs hall, report this performance to the officials of the whole country, and ask the officials in the world, what is wrong with the matter of 'measuring the acres of land'?" Who is boycotting and why? What is the ultimate purpose? Everyone can see the maladministration of my Great Song Dynasty, why do they want to change the imperial court, they oppose it in unison, where are their intentions? Where are you going to take my Great Song? β
Su Song, Han Zongdao's face was full of solemnity, and he bowed his head.
These few words of the official family are really heartbreaking.
But he is upright, if the world's officials are perfunctory, or take care of him, I am afraid that he will be famous for eternity!
What will those people do? Will we continue to resist with righteous rhetoric, or will we turn around and support the 'new law'?
Without waiting for them to think about it, Zhao Xu continued: "This member of the criminal department, don't move, let him take someone and wait outside the gate of the Gao Mansion." β
Zhang Dian immediately answered and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Gonghua went to the household department in the morning and returned in embarrassment, and now that Gao Jiaxiangrui has passed away, I am afraid that he will not give in easily." β
Zhao Xu's face was cold, and he said: "I only opened up to the Gao family because I missed my grandmother, if the Gao family didn't know what to do, I wouldn't have anything to worry about!" Let the Criminal Department do it! β
Su Song's old face straightened and did not speak.
The Gao family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the sons of the Empress Dowager Gao are gone, if the Gao family is gone, I am afraid that the old Empress Dowager may not be able to bear it.
Han Zongdao was a little anxious, and he stopped talking.
The status of the Gao family is very high, and even the clan can't compare to it, if the imperial court confuses the Gao family, what will the people of the world think?
As soon as the Empress Dowager withdrew the curtain and returned to power, the official family did not copy the Gao family, which is too 'unfilial', right? How should this paragraph be written in the history books of later generations?
Zhang Dian understood, glanced at Su Song and Han Zongdao, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The minister's decree!" β
Zhao Xu said: "This matter must occupy the high point of public opinion, not just end it with a newspaper, it is necessary to reform the atmosphere of the entire officialdom, vigorously rectify it, and take it as the main work of the political hall, focus on it, and do not slack off!" β
Zhang Dian resolutely raised his hand, took the task, and said, "The minister's order!" β
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I'll keep an eye on you, go ahead." β
Su Song, Han Zongdao actually wanted to talk about the Gao family, but when he saw Zhao Xu driving people away, he had to raise his hand and quit.
Zhao Xu waved off the four of them and said to Chen Pi: "Prepare, go to the racecourse tomorrow, spend the night, and go to the field for a walk the next day." β
"Yes." Chen Pi hurriedly responded.
Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and looked outside.
Now that everything is in turmoil, his attention is still on the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot', and only when this matter is done well can he further promote the reform of the law across the country.
"We have to push it one ...... further"
Zhao Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he whispered to himself.
At this time, Zhang Dian and Cai Bian returned to the Qingwa house, and Su Song and Han Zongdao went to the political affairs hall.
Zhang Dian did not have any extra words, sat down directly, and began to draft the official document of the Di Bao and the official document of reprimanding the Wailang of the Criminal Department in the name of the Political Affairs Hall.
Cai Bian sat down, picked up the pen, but looked up at Zhang Dian and said, "You say, what will the Gao family do?" β
Zhang Dan's pen kept stopping, and he said in a calm tone: "I hope that the Gao family will continue to resist." β
As long as the Gao family continues to die, he has enough excuse to take the Gao family under the knife!
Through the Gao family, we will fight against the remnants of the Empress Dowager Gao, further liquidate the 'old party', and see who else doesn't know each other!
By liquidating the 'old party' and vigorously promoting the 'new law'!
It's a very natural thing to do.
Cai Bian is reluctant to move the Gao family, and if the movement is too big, the opposition from the government and the opposition will inevitably be greater, which is not conducive to the implementation of the 'new law'.
He pondered again and again, and said, "If the Gao family is willing to comply, this matter will end here." β
Cai Bian didn't stop Zhang Dian, but if the Gao family was 'obedient', Zhang Dian couldn't continue to make excuses and hold on to the Gao family.
Zhang Dian didn't speak, wrote an official document reprimanding the member of the criminal department, handed it to a scribe, and said, "Send it to Su Xianggong for sealing, and send it to the criminal department immediately." β
After Zhang Dian finished speaking, he continued to write the Di Bao, the general content of which was Zhao Xu's words, he moistened the pen, and at the same time severely criticized this phenomenon, and once again asked the officials of the government and the opposition to abide by the laws and decrees of the imperial court, and not to wantonly criticize the major policies of the imperial court, let alone insinuate the emperor!
Seeing that Zhang Dian refused to tell the truth, Cai Bian frowned, shook his head secretly, and began to get busy.
It didn't take long for the official document from the political affairs hall to reach the Criminal Department.
Shao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, led a group of people to look at this 'reprimand' official document, and looked at each other a little.
It is not strange for the political affairs hall to issue an article, but to post an article to a small outsider, it is a 'big fuss and a small matter'.
If it was in the past, I was afraid that it would be impeached in the name of 'blocking the way of speech'.
But since the political affairs hall is 'making a big fuss', it means that this matter is not so simple.
Shao Zhong, a member of the staff, looked solemn, raised his hand to Shao, and said: "Shangshu, this is the fault caused by the lower officials, and the lower officials will bear it, so write a resignation letter, and never drag down the criminal department!" β
Lai Zhishao looked at him and said, "You think too simply. β
Many people in the Criminal Department have quietly stayed away from him.
Ling Zhengtang issued a reprimand, and his future was worrisome.
Shao Chong disagreed, and said: "The lower officials are dedicated to the country, and they are absolutely selfless, if the minister of the political affairs hall punishes the lower officials, the lower officials will never complain, but the original intention will not change, and they will never back down!" β
In their opinion, Shao Chong's recital, even if it is a bit 'excessive', it will not make the political affairs hall issue a document to reprimand it in this form.
Shao Zhong looked at this official document and knew that it was written by Zhang Dan, and thought about the deep meaning in his heart.
He is Zhangdun's person, and there is no need for Zhangdun to publicly reprimand him like this, and he will deal with it when he says a word.
Unless, there's something else wrong with that.
"Tell me more about your recital." Shao looked at Shao Zhong and said.
Shao Chong was just about to speak, when a principal hurriedly ran in and said, "Shangshu, the newspaper of the political affairs hall, the whole country." β
Shao looked stunned, there have been a lot of reports in the political hall recently, what is this principal doing so nervously?
Shao took it and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
When he saw this newspaper, he saw that what was written in it was: Where is the evil of the new law? β¦β¦ Measuring the acres of land, Taizu Taizong doesn't care? β¦β¦ Non-ancestral Fayan? What is the purpose of the boycotters? What is the purpose? β¦β¦ What's in your heart?
All he saw was one question after another, which, like a hammer, struck him and made it difficult for him to breathe.
He immediately understood where the problem with Shao Chong's recital wasβposition!
This is not as simple as opposing the 'new law', but also hiding an unfathomable 'great evil'!
Against the 'new law', 'what is the intention'?
In the past, the most important point of the 'old party' attacking the 'new party' was to violate the law and bring disaster to the country.
Now, Zhang Dian is asking rhetorically, measuring acres of land, what Taizu and Taizong have done, are these people who are now opposing it 'maintaining the ancestral system'? If not, what are their intentions?
Ill-intentioned!
This is a curse!
Shao Chong looked at Shao Zhong expressionlessly, handed the report to the others, and returned to the duty room by himself.
After Lang Lang and Lang Zhong looked at it, their faces changed drastically, and they glanced at Shao Chong, and then left one after another.
The rank of the staff wailang in the criminal department is very low, and by the time Shao Chong arrived, there were few people.
He looked at this official document full of questions, and his face turned pale for a while.
He is standing on the 'ancestral system' and opposing the 'Fangtian Uniform Tax Law', and now Zhang Dun is slapping his face with the 'ancestral system' and questioning his position, what should he do?
In the huge hall of the criminal department, there was only Shao Chong alone.
"Shao Yuan Wailang, Shang Shu ordered you to take someone to Gaofu and cooperate with the Imperial City Division."
Shao Chongzheng's heart was cold, and a small official came over quietly and said in a low voice.
Shao Chong's back suddenly felt cold and trembled violently.
