The Song Palace is in a side hall

Yan Guoqi, the judge of Fujian Road Transfer, wrote to the imperial court, saying that Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, had acted perversely since his arrival in Quanzhou, thus causing public anger and provoking popular uprisings. Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty listened to the words of Han Zhongyan, the left minister of the imperial court, and wanted to send an envoy to Quanzhou to find out the matter, and after the decision was made, Li Sanjian was punished.

But who is Chen Cisheng, the person recommended by Han Zhongyan? This person is indeed upright, upright, and loyal to his duties, but he is a mortal enemy with Zeng Bu, and in such a situation, it is inevitable that he will be biased.

Therefore, Zeng Bu, the right minister of the imperial court, finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just read the chapter, and the minister has something unclear, that is, what is said in the chapter, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, borrowed money from the rich room in Quanzhou, and the old minister became suspicious, why would Li Sanjian borrow money from the rich room in Quanzhou?" ”

"Huh? What Zeng Qing's family said is very true, why did Li Hanren borrow money in the rich room of Quanzhou? Zhao Ji suddenly realized when he heard this, and he was immediately interested, holding the imperial case with both hands, leaning forward, looking at Zeng Bu and asking.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Bu saw that Zhao Ji was so concerned, so he said loudly and with a little excitement: "When Li Sanjian was an official in Beijing, everyone in the world said that he was a clean official and a righteous official, and what he did in Beijing was no different from a clean official and a righteous official. Is such a man a man who is a lover of money? So why did Li Sanjian borrow money from the rich room at this time? Your Majesty, the old minister guessed that Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, did not act for personal gain, but for the sake of the Quanzhou Prefecture and the people of Quanzhou. ”

Zeng Bu glanced at Han Zhongyan, paused for a moment and said: "Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, has just arrived in Quanzhou, and he is not familiar with the place, that is, he encounters a flood that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and Li Sanjian is a young person, how should he deal with it?" Li Sanjian had already sent an envoy to Fuzhou Caosi and the imperial court, but what did the imperial court give to Quanzhou? The little relief money and grain allocated by the imperial court have not yet arrived in Quanzhou so far, and as far as the old minister knows, Fuzhou Caosi has not allocated a grain or a penny to Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian's move is really a helpless move, since he borrowed money from the rich room in Quanzhou for personal gain, then what is Li Sanjian for? Of course, it is to help the people of Quanzhou, calm the floods, and appease the people of Quanzhou. ”

It's really difficult for him, it's hard for the daughter-in-law to cook without rice, at this time Quanzhou is flooded, Li Sanjian has no food and no money in his hands, only to borrow money in the rich room, it is easy to raise debts, and it is difficult to repay debts. . . It's no wonder that the imperial court is also empty and overstretched at this time, and it is difficult to protect itself, but Zhao Ji said secretly in his heart when he heard this.

Zhao Ji just wanted to speak, but Han Zhongyan, the left minister, spoke first: "According to Zeng Gong's words, Li Sanjian is not a perverse person, so he dug embankments and released water without authorization, flooded countless fertile fields, drowned countless people and animals, and bought rice at a high price, driving up the price of rice, what explanation did Zeng Gong make for this?" ”

"Huh!" Zeng Bu smiled when he heard this: "Didn't Han Xianggong say it? Quanzhou is thousands of miles away from Beijing, it can be said that the mountains are high and the road is far away, so what is the situation in Quanzhou, should be clearly observed. Also, Han Xianggong, don't you hear about the breaking of the embankment and the discharge of floodwater? ”

"I... You... Han Zhongyan was speechless when he heard this, and said after half a sound: "How can the old man not know about the burst of the embankment and the flooding?" Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, did not discuss with the Fuzhou Cao Division, and did not play the imperial court, so he broke the embankment and discharged the flood without authorization, flooding countless fertile fields, which was an ultra vires and could not be indulged. ”

"Haha!" Zeng Bu shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "How do you know that the flood in Quanzhou is not at a critical moment?" Discuss with Fuzhou Caosi and play the imperial court? I'm afraid that the flood has already flooded the whole of Quanzhou. ”

"You... Alarmist, if all the states and counties of our holy dynasty are like Quanzhou, wouldn't it be a mess? What should the imperial court do? Han Zhongyan said angrily when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, don't fight between the two families." Seeing this, Zhao Ji said: "I have promised Li Hanren the right to make a decision on the spot, and when it comes to breaking the embankment and discharging the flood, Li Hanren must also have unspeakable hardships. ”

Zhao Ji then thought about it and asked: "Then Li Hanren bought rice at a high price and raised the price of rice, why did he move?" And provoked a popular uprising? Did it really provoke a popular uprising? ”

Li Sanjian has been an official in Kaifeng Mansion for half a year, and he is honest and honest, that is, he has won the reputation of "blue sky and bright moon", how can such an official who loves the people like a son provoke a popular uprising?

At this time, Zhao Ji thought about it carefully, and found that there were many flaws in the performance of Yan Guoqi, the judge of Fujian Road Transfer.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Bu replied when he heard this: "Although the old minister does not know the specific situation in Quanzhou, it is not difficult to guess that Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, must have a deep meaning. ”

Zeng Bu then glanced at Han Zhongyan again and said, "Your Majesty, if Li Sanjian is really like this, and the imperial court sends an envoy to grind on him at this time, wouldn't it chill his heart?" Chilled the heart of the entire Quanzhou Prefecture? ”

"So, Zeng Qing's family, do you mean that you don't have to send an envoy to Quanzhou?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"Definitely!" Zeng Bu replied: "I still want to send an envoy, but I sent an envoy to Quanzhou to find out this matter, not to investigate Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen recommends one person who can take on this position!" Zeng Bu then said.

。。。。。。。。。。

"The two Qing families, what is the current imperial court, I think you both know it, what should you do?" After Li Sanjian's affairs came to an end, Zhao Ji asked Han Zhongyan and Zeng to preach.

At present, the imperial court's finances are tight, the treasury is empty, and even the disaster relief cannot come up with much money and grain, and Zhao Ji is worried. A small bookstore

The most important thing is that Zhao Ji ascended the throne at the age of less than twenty, he was a young son of heaven, versatile, poetry, lyrics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Ju art, etc.

And Zeng Bu is almost old at this time, and Han Zhongyan has already passed the age of the sixtieth year, one of them is pedantic, the other is old-fashioned, and both of them are loyal and outspoken, chattering all day long, which makes Zhao Ji quite tired, but at this time he has to rely on the two.

"Your Majesty, the old minister only said four things, one is Guang Ren'en, the second is to open the way, the third is to go to suspicion, and the fourth is to refrain from using soldiers. . . ."

So Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan chattered endlessly, but they couldn't find a good way to govern the country。。。。。

"Let's all go back." After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed and said to Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan.

。。。。。。。。。

"Official, you work all day long on state affairs, official... You... Recently, it has been more and more reduced... After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Ji returned to the inner hall, and the minister Tong Guan said to Zhao Ji in a choked voice.

"I'm fine!" After Zhao Ji waved his hand, he said while fiddling with an antique in the palace tastelessly: "I just feel a little bored. ”

"What is this?" Zhao Ji then threw the antique out in his hand irritably, and said indignantly.

Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he served filial piety for the first emperor Zhao Xu, and he had to serve for twenty-seven months, and finally served filial piety for twelve months, and the queen mother Xiang died of illness, so Zhao Ji's filial piety period began to be calculated again, and he had to serve for twenty-seven months. During the period of filial piety, there are many taboos, such as not being allowed to leave the palace, accepting concubines, drinking and feasting, etc., which makes Zhao Ji depressed.

Of course, state affairs have to be taken care of, but after taking care of the government, when he returned to the inner hall, Zhao Ji felt like a prisoner. At this time, Zhao Ji has played all the things in the palace, and he can't find anything new anymore...

"Don't worry about the officials!" Of course, Tong Guan understood what Zhao Ji thought, so he said to Zhao Ji: "The slave maid can go out of the palace for the official family and find some strange birds and beasts, calligraphy, painting and antiques and other gold and stone things to come back, how about the official family appreciate it?" ”

Since the palace is already boring, then there is only a way to find a way from outside the palace, it should be said that Tong Guan's words just touched Zhao Ji's heart.

"This... Is something inappropriate? Is it a nuisance? Therefore, he was in the period of filial piety, so Zhao Ji asked with some hesitation.

"The official family is the Son of Heaven, and the whole world belongs to the official family." Tong Guan replied when he heard this: "Since the world is all official, let alone some playthings in this area? The official family, the slave and the maid see the official family working day and night for the state affairs, and the slave and maid are really... I can't bear it, the official family likes calligraphy, painting, antiques and other gold and stone things, but in addition to state affairs, to relieve fatigue, if anyone has any objections to this, the old slave is fighting for this life, but also with its theory. ”

When Tong Guan spoke, his eyes were full of tears, and his true feelings were revealed, which made Zhao Ji extremely moved.

Yes, I just like a little gold and stone things, and I only play in the apse when I return to the apse in addition to state affairs, and I won't ignore the government because of these gold and stone things, why is it inappropriate? Zhao Ji said secretly in his heart

Zhao Ji's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up in the palace, and unconsciously regarded the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace as his relatives.

After the death of Zhao Ji's parents, there are many brothers and sisters, as well as a nominal queen mother, and many of his father's concubines are Zhao Ji's aunts, etc., but where is there any family affection in the palace?

I am deceitful, and I can't wait to put the other party to death, so these people might as well serve the palace maids and eunuchs beside Zhao Ji.

Don't talk about the nominal queen mother, aunt, brothers and sisters, etc., even if it is a biological father and son, mother and son, brothers, etc., for the supreme throne in the world, it will be cannibalistic, and it will be like an enemy, eager to put each other to death, and it is incompatible.

"Tong Qing's family!" So Zhao Ji was so moved that he said to Tong Guan: "Your loyalty to me, I understand it in my heart, so I ordered you to promote Hangzhou Jinming Bureau." ”

"Slave and maid obey the order, thank you for Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, it was equivalent to agreeing that Tong Guan would leave the palace and go to Hangzhou on Liangzhejiang Road to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, strange flowers and stones, rare treasures, strange birds and beasts and other rare treasures.
