Later, the court money and food were tight, and He Zhongkai did something to set an example, calling on all officials to unite as one, starting from him, not receiving money, leaving the money to solve the difficulties of the court, and waiting for the disaster to end, after the court money and food were relieved, and then reissued, this move was supported by hundreds of officials, in this regard, Zhai Hongliang and other most low-level officials, are fiercely opposed, those scholars officials, at all, do not look down on the court at all, it doesn't matter if there is not, they say it well, put themselves on the moral high ground, However, it ignores the actual situation of the majority of low-level officials.

For example, Zhai Hongliang, whose family is poor, old and young, did not live much better because of being an official, the family is old and young, and they are completely counting on that little bit of the court to live, but now they are being engaged by He Zhongkai, and the economic source is completely cut off, and the end can be imagined.

In Zhai Hongliang's view, He Zhongkai does things like this, it is completely to the detriment of others and self-interest, there are so many wealthy families in the capital, each family only needs to donate a thousand taels of silver, and all problems are solved, but unfortunately, the family only values their own interests, the life and death of the people, for them, it may be a good thing, the death of a large number of people, there will naturally be a large number of land vacancies, and those families just take this opportunity to merge.

After Zhai Hongliang retired, another minister stood up and played Zhao Zhi on the issue of high grain prices in the capital, hoping that the government could intervene to suppress the prices of materials related to people's livelihood.

This official's proposal led to more than a dozen officials, including several imperial historians, coming out in agreement.

Yushitai is a Qingshui Yamen, the price of grain in the capital remains high, so that many low-level officials are miserable, many people are already facing a desperate situation, and now someone has taken the initiative to stand up and propose to suppress the price of people's biological resources, which immediately caused a strong resonance among some officials.

Zhai Hongliang looked excited, and he was about to step forward to speak, but he was stopped by Liu Chongji: "It's not lively enough?" Give me the honesty to stand there. ”

Zhai Hongliang said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Zhongcheng, you don't know our difficulties, if we go on like this, if we don't wait for the displaced people in Henan and Hedong to starve to death, I'm afraid that we, low-level officials, will have to starve to death first." ”

Liu Chongji scolded in a low voice: "You can enter the political hall for these things, don't get entangled here." ”

"From last year to now, how many officials have entered the political affairs hall, and what actions have they made? Are they willing to pay out of their own pockets to solve our problems? ”

The two of them were pulling here, and over there, after Zhao Zhi listened to everyone's opinions, he just said nonchalantly: "In this matter, I will order all the ministers of the political affairs hall to come up with an effective plan as soon as possible, and you all retreat." ”

These officials who are talking are a little dissatisfied, and it is still the same way to put it mildly, if the political affairs hall can come up with an effective plan, do they still need to say these things here? But since the emperor had already spoken, they didn't dare to say anything and retreated to their positions.

"Why are you so brainless, I repeat, if you have any problems, you can go to the political hall to say, this is not a place for you to talk nonsense, let alone complain."

Seeing that Zhai Hongliang didn't listen to persuasion, Liu Chongji also got a little angry, and his voice was a little louder, which attracted the sideways glances of some officials.

"Since I am the imperial history, I have the right to speak and play in the court, and you have no right to stop me."

Zhai Hongliang broke away from Liu Chongji's hand and strode forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Zhao Zhi looked at Zhai Hongliang with interest, he was very serious about military attachés, but he was more gentle towards civilian officials, so since he succeeded to the throne, there have been many officials who have spoken out, but it is indeed the first time that a strong person like Zhai Hongliang has seen it, even if it is Zhou Qing's straight nature, I am afraid he will not dare to come in such a place.

Before Zhao Zhi could speak, He Zhongkai got up and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many political affairs to discuss today, and some irrelevant things don't need to be ignored." ”

Zhai Hongliang looked at He Zhongkai and said with great dissatisfaction: "He Xiangguo, the lower official hasn't spoken yet, how do you know that what I said is an inconsequential matter?" ”

He Zhongkai said coldly: "Zhai Yushi, what you said is nothing more than what you just said, those things will be sorted out and planned by our political affairs hall, and there is no need for you to point fingers here and reverse right and wrong." ”

Xu Ruotang, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, also said at this time: "Zhai Yushi, we have other important political matters to discuss, don't let everyone waste time because you are alone." ”

Xu Ruotang is the prince's person, and Liu Chongji is also the prince's person, Yushitai can be said to be a force within the prince's range, Xu Ruotang's words are not polite, but in fact, he is giving Zhai Hongliang a step, so as not to be affected by him, Yushitai is a very important part of the prince's power.

Zhai Yushi glanced at Xu Ruotang, ignored him, bowed to Zhao Zhi and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

Zhao Zhi said lightly: "Many people don't want you to talk. ”

Zhai Yushi said: "Please Your Majesty give Weichen a chance to speak." ”

Zhao Zhi smiled: "If you want to say it, just say it." ”

Zhai Yushi said loudly: "The minister wants to impeach the head of the household department Shangshu He Zhongkai." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

No wonder the Manchu officials were stunned, it was not that no one had impeached Xiangguo in the past, and there were several Xiangguo who were impeached and dismissed, but that was caused by the fierce collision between factions, like Zhai Hongliang, who was the last of the seven grades, bluntly impeached the political affairs minister He Zhongkai in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, not that there was no, but it was extremely rare, and it had not happened in the past ten years, because of such moves, the plan was to find death, and the dignified Xiangguo was not a joke, a lowly official like Zhai Hongliang, He Zhongkai could not go through the emperor and the court, It was a very easy thing to form a resolution directly from within the political affairs hall and kill him.

"Zhai Hongliang, what do you want to do?"

He Zhongkai couldn't hold back any longer, and he was extremely angry.

The shepherd, who was standing on the side, looked at He Zhongkai and said in a deep voice: "On the main hall, the imperial history can know everything, and there is no guilt in words, and no one can stop it, this is the rule set by Taizu, He Xiangguo roared in the court, what is the reason?" Please also respect yourself. ”

He Zhongkai gritted his teeth and sat back with a dark face.

Zhao Zhi said softly: "The imperial history knows everything, although the rule of innocence was established by Taizu, but the person you impeached is a high-powered political minister after all, if there is no target, I will not spare you." ”

Zhai Hongliang said with a straight face: "If the minister makes false accusations, he will not be forgiven." ”

"You can start, I will say more, ordinary sins can't bring down the dignified political affairs of the country."

When Zhao Zhi said this, he glanced at He Zhongkai intentionally or unintentionally.
