Chapter 60 Internal strife continues

There are two main ways to transmit documents and official goods in the Song Dynasty, one is the post and the other is the delivery.

The post is generally to transmit general documents, and the delivery is to transmit military information or other urgent documents, and the delivery is also the delivery shop, because it belongs to Shangshu Province, so it is also called "provincial shop".

There are shop officials and shop soldiers, who are responsible for transmitting documents, official goods, and so on.

The delivery shop is divided into slow delivery and urgent delivery, and the urgent delivery of the shop rides, the horse collar is tied with a copper bell, when galloping on the road, the bell is ringing during the day, the fire is raised at night, and the person who is killed is not responsible. Shop for horses, number of shops for people, rain or shine, is a day and night journey, up to 500 miles a day.

Therefore, Yan Guowei, the transfer judge of the Fujian Road Transfer Division, on the "Quanzhou People's Revolution" was sent to the Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Jingshi in only ten days.

"Your Majesty, since June, my holy pilgrimage is full of natural disasters, at this moment Your Majesty should be three things, out of the southern suburbs of the imperial system to worship, feast on the temple, worship heaven and earth in the mound, one also; pardon the world, reduce the virtue to Sijing, reduce the prisoner to the first degree, and release him in prison, and the second also; Light conscription, light taxation, in order to reassure the people, three also. Your Majesty.... ”

Under a partial hall in the Song Palace, Shangshu's right servant shot Zeng Bu and said to Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty.

"I know... Zhao Ji didn't wait for Zeng Bu to finish speaking, so he waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu played three things, this is what ordinary emperors will do when natural disasters occur, and it is not a new thing. Zhao Ji is familiar with history books, how can he not know?

Among them, what is really useful for disaster relief and can appease the people is light forced labor, light taxation, light forced labor is also repaid, and thin taxation will reduce the tax of the imperial court.

At this time, the imperial treasury was empty, and it had to deal with the war in Western Xia, so the money and food that could be taken out to help the victims were very small, and even less were distributed to the various prefecture and state armies, like a drop in the bucket.

Zhao Ji was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course he understood that when the disaster occurred, if he could not help and appease the people, it would inevitably provoke a civil uprising, and perhaps the world would be in chaos.

But at this time, Zhao Ji was overstretched, and he couldn't take out too much money, food relief, and appease the people.

At this time, Zeng Bu was chattering about natural disasters in the palace, but he couldn't come up with a real way to increase the revenue of the treasury and at the same time provide relief and comfort to the people, so Zhao Ji was extremely bored.

"The people of Yuanyou" can only talk loudly, and only the "people of Yuanfeng" have good policies for governing the country, which is Zhao Ji's impression of the ministers of the DPRK and China at this time.

Although Zeng Bu is a "person of Yuanfeng", he is actually a person in the middle, attracting both "people of Yuanyou" and "people of Yuanfeng".

Zeng Bu blushed when he heard this, and stood in place, his short body trembling slightly.

As Zhao Ji reigned as the emperor for a long time, he became more and more powerful, and he became more and more arbitrary, and many things did not consult the ministers such as Zaizhi at all, and directly issued edicts in the form of edicts.

Especially after the funeral of the Queen Mother Xiang, Zhao Ji is like a bird that has escaped from the cage, he is flying high, no one can control him a little, and the ministers of the court and the central government are more and more afraid of Zhao Ji.

This is completely different from when Zhao Ji just entered the palace and succeeded to the throne, when Zhao Ji was a corporal of Lixian and humble minded.

At this time, when the atmosphere in the hall was slightly embarrassing, Shangshu's left servant shot Han Zhongyan hurriedly entered the hall, so he was old, and at the same time he was in a hurry, so he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

It's time to pay tribute, Zhao Ji secretly shook his head in his heart when he saw this, how can such a person live in phase for a long time?

At this time, Han Zhongyan had already passed the age of the sixtieth year, although he was still far from the age of ancient rarity, but he was already unusually old.

"Hurry up and help Han Qing's family." Although Zhao Ji already had the intention of degrading Han Zhongyan in his heart, he still seemed to be extremely concerned and said to the left and right.

Hearing this, the two chamberlains hurriedly stepped forward and helped Han Zhongyan to the front of Zhao Ji's throne.

"The old minister is fine." Han Zhongyan got rid of the two attendants, took out a book from his sleeve and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Fujian Road is urgent." ”

"Fujian Road Emergency? Get it now! Zhao Ji heard that it was Fujian Road Concert, his face was surprised, and he said to the left and right.

Li Sanjian left the Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Jingshi in February of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty, and it was already August at this time, and he had been away for half a year, so Zhao Ji had not received news from Li Sanjian for a long time.

It's just that the word "people's change" on the chapter startled Zhao Ji.

"At the beginning of June, the flood was great, and Quanzhou was even worse, with heavy rain and months, countless bad houses and houses, countless houses and houses that were flooded, countless bad fields and crops, and many people and animals drowned. The people of Shishu are displaced, there is no food and clothing, more than 100,000 hungry people are asking for relief, and the hungry people are waiting to be fed... However, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, entered Fujian in May from May to May, but he did not think about relief and appeasement of the people, dug embankments and released water without authorization, and there were countless fertile fields, and the drowning of people and animals was also very heavy. What's more, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, borrowed money in the name of the public government in Quanzhou, coerced and lured, and did everything he could, and the rich room in Quanzhou was miserable, and at the same time bought rice at a high price, raised the price of rice, competed with the people, and grabbed food from the people's mouths, the people were unbearable, they couldn't bear to be hungry, and robbed the rice shop, and the people of Quanzhou were born, but Li Sanjian still turned a deaf ear to this, and forced the people of Shishu to do things such as 'dragon boat race' and 'Qiqiao Festival'。。。。。。。 ”

Yan Guoqi exaggerated the affairs of Quanzhou several times above, and described Li Sanjian as the most brutal corrupt official in history, and he was a cool official who had no one before or since... At the same time, Yan Guojian also wrote on the chapter how he treated Li Sanjian, and persuaded him bitterly, but Li Sanjian still went his own way, turned a deaf ear and insisted on going his own way, so Yan Guoqi was helpless, so he hurriedly handed it to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could punish Li Sanjian, and at the same time quell the civil rebellion in Quanzhou as soon as possible.

"He is the chief of Fujian Road, since Li Hanren has provoked a civil uprising, why don't you immediately deal with him?" After Zhao Ji finished reading the recital, he threw it on the imperial case and said coldly.

Zhao Ji waited for half a year, and finally waited for Li Sanjian's news, but it was such news, which made Zhao Ji extremely angry and disappointed.

You must know that Li Sanjian is the minister of Zhao Ji's hidden mansion, and he is a confidant minister, Li Sanjian can retreat after killing Zhao Xin, the Duke of Wei, and can be the governor of Quanzhou in Quanzhou, which is completely supported by Zhao Ji behind him, and Quanzhou is an official, which is basically Zhao Ji's idea.

Many ministers know this matter in their hearts and know it well.

But at this time, Li Sanjian actually had this kind of thing, so it was almost equivalent to giving Zhao Ji a slap in the face, which made Zhao Ji extremely embarrassed and disappointed.

"Han Qingjia, you must have seen the chapter, what are your ideas?" After Zhao Ji was sullen for a while, he asked Han Zhongyan, who was aging Long Zhong.

The urgent foot delivery was sent to Shangshu Province first, and Han Zhongyan brought the chapter into the palace, so of course Han Zhongyan had already seen the chapter.

He's your favorite, so why do you want me to make up your mind? Han Zhongyan said secretly in his heart when he heard this, and at the same time Han Zhongyan noticed that after Zhao Ji read the chapter, he just complained about the Fujian Road transfer judge, but his face was extremely ugly, but Zhao Ji did not jump like thunder, and did not make an order on the spot to take Li Sanjian down and send him to Beijing.

So Han Zhongyan thought about it again and again, and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, the old minister received a report from Fujian Road today, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he was sent to the palace and was inspected by His Majesty. Your Majesty, the old minister discovered one thing from the report, that is, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, left Beijing in February, and entered the Fujian realm in May. February is sufficient, so the court should treat it as the crime of slackness. The second is that Li Sanjian entered Fujian in May and served as the governor of Quanzhou, that is, he encountered the flood in Quanzhou, and as the governor of a state, he should lead the people to control the water, and do relief and care for the people, but at this critical juncture, he dug embankments and released water without authorization, and there were countless fertile land, and the drowning of people and animals was also very serious, which aggravated the disaster, and competed with the people for profit, and took food from the people's mouths. However, Your Majesty, the old minister thought again and again, Quanzhou is the land of sea puppets, thousands of miles away from Beijing, it can be said that the mountain is high and the road is far away, what is the specific situation in Quanzhou, when it is clearly observed, so the old minister thinks that the imperial court should be an envoy, go to Fujian, inspect Quanzhou, and then make a decision. ”

Li Sanjian is Zeng Bu's person, and many ministers in the court think that Li Sanjian worships under Zeng Bu's door, so if Li Sanjian is overthrown, it can have a great impact on Zeng Bu, at least he can recommend unknown crimes, and he can be placed on Zeng Bu's head.

One thing, two things, may not have much impact on Zeng Bu, but ten or a hundred things will inevitably affect Zhao Ji's decision, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will be the day Zeng Bu falls.

However, Han Zhongyan took Zhao Ji into account, so he did not say it to death, and left a way back for himself.

"Well, Han Qing's family is Lao Cheng's serious words, who does Han Qing's family think should be used?" Zhao Ji asked after thinking for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the right counselor Chen Cisheng is upright and upright, and he can go to Quanzhou to investigate Quanzhou Zhizhou Li Sanjian." Han Zhongyan replied.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Zeng Bu on the side finally spoke: "The old minister has something unclear about the matter played by the chapter, please ask Your Majesty to ask about it." ”

In fact, Li Sanjian did not worship Zeng Bu, but Li Sanjian has a positive attitude towards some of Zeng Bu's views, such as Zeng Bu's "Yuan You and Shao Sheng are lost" and other views, Li Sanjian agrees, so it is understandable that the two are closer, but most people think that Li Sanjian worships Zeng Bu.

In fact, many of Li Sanjian's views or views are different from Zeng Bu's.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

"Oh? What does Zeng Qing's family say? To put it bluntly. Zhao Ji nodded when he heard this.
