Chapter 189: Longyou, a New Stage (12)
The people who have such thoughts in the court are not only Wang Renzi and Yue Jiming.
The three generations of emperors after Wuzong are mostly mediocre masters, and they often do things according to their personal preferences, and they have a common characteristic, that is, the punishment is too heavy, and they kill the whole family at every turn, and they are all over the house, and it is no wonder that the ministers of the court, everyone is in danger, and seeks a way to protect themselves, especially the Xiangguo of the political hall, and the local feudal towns have many contacts, mutual alliances, and at some times, it is the spokesperson of those powerful local feudal towns in the imperial court, it is precisely because of the backing of the armed forces, even if they fail in the political struggle, the emperor of the dynasty in order not to cause military disasters, I still have some scruples and don't dare to do things too much.
After Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, he tried to change this situation, and did it from two aspects, on the one hand, he severely cracked down on the ministers of the DPRK and China who colluded with the local feudal towns, on the other hand, he abolished many tortures, and then as long as it did not involve the crime of treason, the official broke the law, at most he was dismissed and exiled, and he would never implicate his family, Zhao Zhi's actions played a great role, and now Wang Renzizi and Yue Jiming want to emulate the past, Zhao Zhi must not tolerate it.
Twenty-four prefectures in Hebei, five major feudal towns.
Weizhou Jiedu made Li Conggu, Jizhou Jiedu made Gao Shancai, Zhaozhou Jiedu made Zhang Jinghui, Hengzhou Jiedu made Chen Qingqing, and Youzhou Jiedu made Tian Zhang.
Hebei Province is very economically developed, the population is large, it is a good land for war horses, some people once said: Hebei has many healthy horses, the next one gallops 200 miles a day, so the soldiers are often under the day.
After the death of Wuzong, Xizong abused the people's power and wantonly used troops abroad, so that the civil unrest in the country was everywhere, the official army could not suppress it, the situation was out of control, and the righteous army once entered the Guannai and approached the Beijing Division.
Faced with such a situation, Xi Zong finally listened to the minister's advice, showed that he had committed his own edict, spread the word to the Quartet, and confessed his mistakes to the people of the world, and then began to implement the policy of suppressing and appeasing the people.
At that time, the most powerful rebel army, was from Hebei, the leader Wang Cong from the heart to the imperial court, after occupying the entire Hebei, did not continue the next military action, when the other rebels invaded the pass, and the official army fought a decisive battle, Wang Congben has been standing still, when receiving the letter of persuasion from Emperor Xizong, Wang Congben persuaded his subordinate generals, and finally surrendered to the imperial court.
Wang Congben's surrender made Xizong overjoyed, and he was rewarded very heavily.
In the ensuing rebellion, Wang Congben also made great contributions, and finally helped Xizong calm the domestic chaos.
But it was such a great hero who had made a contribution to the reinvention of the Great Jin Dynasty, but because of the suspicion of the Emperor and the false accusations of the villain, he finally committed suicide.
After the death of Wang Congben, there was another war in Hebei, and his subordinate generals rebelled against the imperial court.
In the face of the attack of the ministers, Yue Jiming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and moved his body, just about to get up and argue, but he was held down by Wang Renzi, who was sitting on the side.
Wang Renzi glanced at Yang Daosi next to him, the latter's face was calm, but his brows were always twisted, obviously today's court meeting was also beyond his expectations, but things have developed to this point, he and Yue Jiming are members of the right party, but Yang Daosi has never said a word, and his attitude can be seen from this.
Wang Renzi sighed secretly, at the critical moment, he and Yue Jiming were ruthlessly abandoned after all, politics is sometimes so cruel and dramatic, it seemed that they were still close allies just now, but in the blink of an eye, they had already parted ways.
Wang Renzi stood up and bowed his hand: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Yue Jiming and Jizhou Jiedu made Gao Shancai very close, often exchanged letters, the former told him the secret affairs of the DPRK, the latter was Chengruo at a critical moment, to give strong support, his son Yue Ning and Gao Shancai's eldest daughter is secretly married, although Wang Renzizi did not participate in it, but he did not report it, itself is a big crime.
Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, but looked at Yue Jiming.
Yue Jiming took a deep breath, finally got up slowly, walked out, bowed his hands, and said with difficulty: "The minister is guilty." ”
Zhao Zhi nodded, looked at Yang Daosi, and said lightly: "Yang Xiangguo, what do you suggest?" ”
Yang Daosi didn't get up, was silent for a moment, and said: "The ministers still need to investigate and prove the crimes of Wang Renzi and Yue Jiming one by one..."
Zhao Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, but at this time, Yang Daosi's words suddenly changed: "But... Being impeached by so many ministers, Wang Renzizi and Yue Jiming's moral character will eventually be at a loss, and continuing to sit in the prime phase may cause criticism among the courtiers. ”
Yang Xiangguo's words are also reasonable.
Zhao Zhi's frowning brows loosened, nodded, and agreed with Yang Daosi's suggestion.
The left attendant of the criminal department, Lang Qiuyan, frowned, glanced left and right, today's court meeting, it is a completely one-sided situation, although Yang Binglin was deprived of his official position, but his civil and prose officials are still there, and the grade is still very high, from the title of the third grade silver Qingguanglu doctor, in recent times, Yang Binglin has been in contact everywhere, originally to make trouble in this court meeting, but now he has not come, and the officials of the right party have collectively lost their voices and remained silent, it seems that the situation has changed.
"Your Majesty, Wang Renzi and Yue Jiming, the two prime ministers, have been ruling the country for many years, and have been diligent and honest, and have made great contributions.
Qiu Yan finally gritted his teeth and stood up for Wang Renzi and Yue Jiming.
Zhao Zhi glanced at Qiu Yan, his eyes were a little cold, his body leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, and he didn't look at it.
"Lord Qiu, the previous incident of Baihuayuan involved Yue Le, the son of Yue Jiming, and the matter of Jingyuan Temple involved Wang Fan, the son of Wang Renzi, in these two cases, you interceded for them, and now you are not innocent, and .....speak for their words."
Liu Chongji, the middle of the imperial history, quickly stood up, questioned Qiu Yan, and then bowed to Zhao Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, whenever it comes to the affairs of Wang Renzizi and Yue Jiming, Qiu Shilang doesn't ask whether it is right or wrong, he always has to come out and say something to excuse them, and the minister suspects that these people are suspected of forming a party for personal gain." ”
"You're spewing blood."
Qiu Yan's face turned red, and he pointed at Liu Chongji and roared loudly.
There is naturally the existence of a party in the court, as strong as the era of Wuzong's self-respect, and there is also the existence of a party, the emperor wants to balance, he can't let any political force dominate, for the sake of stability, he can't let too many parties, this is an inevitable political environment, it can't be eliminated at all, everyone knows it, and now Liu Chongji Of course Zhao Zhi's face, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, said it clearly, this is simply slapping him in the face.
