At about the same time, Zhao Zhen took Manager Chen into the main hall from the side.

After Zhao Zhen sat down, Chen Zhizhong was the first to prostrate on the ground, and the fat ass rose and Lao Gao led everyone to shout: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Fangping was behind Lao Chen, and he didn't like a man's ass so big and a cocked old man, so he really wanted to kick it up.

The great court sees this virtue, the place is small, there are many participants, and basically as soon as you kneel, everyone's head is on the butt in front of you. Zhao Zhen is also a little playful and has a bad taste, and deliberately wants to maintain this moment a little longer.

After five breaths, the emperor smiled and said, "You ministers don't need to be polite, let's get in." ”

Wang Yan was the worst, because there were too many people in the court, they all lined up at the end of the palace, and the cold wind was blowing outside. The court saw that it was a formal occasion to kneel on the ground, so Wang Yan knelt on the snow outside, his knees were wet, and then he was blown by the cold wind, and he jumped to his feet in the cold.

This is just a big meeting, and it is not yet an annual summary, so there is no need for Chen Zhizhong, Liang Shi, and Zhang Fangping to list the template words that say "the great achievements made last year" or something. The main problem now is focused on heating up for the winter.

The Great Song Dynasty happened to be the deepening climate environment of the Xiaoice River, the ancients were pitiful, fortunately, there were several emperors in the Great Song Dynasty who tried to make great efforts, although they had no ability, but the mentality was indeed very good.

There are also many officials who really care about the people. So although it is not really hard to make the country work, at least it can be mentioned in the center of the country as a thing, and the effect is always somewhat, which is much better than doing nothing.

At the scene, Chen Zhizhong Xiangye roughly summarized the form of severe cold reported in various places so far, and the process took about 100 words, and then Lao Chen began to pat Zhao Zhen's ass, and used more than 300 words to say that the emperor's wisdom and martial arts love the people like a son, and Wencheng Wude sunrise in the east or something also said.

Zhao Zhen can't help Lao Chen, anyway, the sycophants are not unpleasant, and with the urine sex of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't be in a hurry, and sometimes it lasts for three hours to see the court, and after saying this, "the old minister is adding a few words", this is really too common.

It can't be said that these guys are wrong, and it can't be cold their enthusiasm. Later, Zhao Zhen couldn't stand these old masters, so he revised the pilgrimage meeting four times a month to twice a month, the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

This official fifteenth day is the first day of the lunar month, and the emperor's annual roasting fee from the inner treasury to the residents of Kaifeng Mansion is usually started after the big court meeting on December 15th.

Then the amount of each payment is usually determined according to the cold form presented by the prime minister at this grand court. These are the basic rules of the Great Song Dynasty.

This year has been particularly cold, and this is a good omen. The severe cold is very severe everywhere, and there must be a concealment of the casualties caused by the severe cold. But these are not what Chen Zhizhong can solve, and he can only summarize according to the data submitted by various places: "According to the summary theory of the local government, the old minister thinks that this severe cold is no different from previous years, although it is not good, but it has not changed worse, what can be done is that we are already doing our best, and it is not Your Majesty's fault that you can't do it, Your Majesty should not worry too much and break the Holy Communion." ”

The more he said this, the more worried Zhao Zhen became.

This is what Chen Zhizhong said, and there is water in the mud, which is why Zhao Zhen needs Zhang Fangping in the imperial court.

Zhang Fangping, on the other hand, is an extremist who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, for example, when he was in power in Chengdu 1, when there was a bandit, he would say that there were three, and they must be exterminated, which made everyone extremely nervous. If one person starved to death, Lao Zhang would say that three would starve to death, and then ask the court for money and food.

This is the difference between Lao Zhang and Chen Zhizhong. So, Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Fangping.

Zhang Fangping said: "What should be said is probably Chen Zhizhong, he said that there is a slight difference between the number and the minister's grasp, but the difference is not big, and the minister will not waste time." Now we should not be entangled in the authenticity of the data that has been summarized, but in the face of this severe cold, what the imperial court can do, how much can be done, and it is useless to think about anything else. ”

Lao Zhang's answer made Zhao Zhen a little unaccustomed, and there was nothing sycophant in just a few sentences. It probably means that there is no money now, and it is useless to say it, if you have money, the emperor will quickly take it out and send it down, or you can only keep important areas, that is, of course, Kaifeng Mansion at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and protect the military, economic, political, and cultural center of the Great Song Dynasty.

The rest can only depend on the level and conscience of parents and officials in various places, and it cannot be solved overnight.

Zhang Fangping's meaning is very simple and cruel, but this is the truth. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was in terms of military, economic and political aspects, and Kaifeng Mansion surpassed the concept of half of the country, so of course, it was only possible to use the least amount of money and efficiency to protect Kaifeng Mansion.

Of course, the capital has the most resources since ancient times, and the civilized society after a thousand years will not be able to jump out of this characteristic.

For the time being, I was silent on this issue, because Zhao Zhen had no money, and he hated the small scale of the palace, and some people proposed to repair it several times, but they gave up because they had no money, so this is the reason why the big court saw that those guys in green official robes had been lining up outside the palace to blow the cold wind.

Chen Zhizhong and Zhang Fangping both spoke, and the privy envoy Liang Shi also wanted to find a sense of existence, so he came out and said: "The minister has some reports on security, that is, about the Xixia Yipintang that appeared after the summary of the Huaixi Campaign......"

Theoretically, Lao Liang is really not nonsense this time, but in view of the fact that he talked nonsense too many people in the past, and now no one is interested in him, Bao Zheng came out and interrupted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

Zhao Zhen had a headache when he saw Bao Zheng, and then Liang Shi also glared at Lao Bao and thought: Why don't you wait for Lao Tzu to finish speaking?

Bao Zheng didn't care about this, and reported strongly: "The severe cold faced by Kaifeng Mansion this time is extremely severe, and they all find good things to tell Your Majesty, but the old ministers have different opinions. ”

Zhao Zhen said patiently: "Bao Qing said slowly, I will listen." ”

"Can't be slow, this time the cold is much more serious than in previous years, before Your Majesty's charcoal fire, the old minister has already used the Kaifeng Mansion treasury to fight the cold." Bao Zheng said excitedly.

"Oh, how does that work?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"A drop in the bucket." Bao Zheng said: "In addition to the carbon tax stipulated by the government, the biggest problem is that there is a group of powerful people with ulterior motives, who take advantage of this opportunity to speculate on charcoal, which means that this will lead to a sharp rise in carbon prices from the source at this juncture......

Bao Zheng didn't finish speaking, and many people pulled their calves from each other in the group frying pan in the court.

Chen Zhizhong and Zhang Fangping smiled bitterly when they saw it, it was obvious that the interests of a large group of people were involved, which could not be solved at all, and not only charcoal, food, medicine and other things, were also repeated year after year.

Wang Anshi felt that the opportunity had come, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, about these, the minister has a lot of experience during the reign of Shuzhou, and the minister thinks that at the level of the source law, try to establish a national reserve system to stabilize the rising prices during the special period, so that it can be controlled and planned by the imperial court." ”

This further uproar began, and the parties began to quarrel.

Zhao Zhen is extremely big, and although Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi have different styles, they are really two donkeys on some issues. Bao Zheng mentioned that the backlash and quarrel were so serious, and now Wang Anshi's skull is not very big, and he dares to mention the change directly under such unpreparedness.

If you want to say that other Zhao Zhen may not know, but Zhao Zhen knows a little bit that he rashly changes the law without preparation, assuming that only one hundred people will freeze to death this time, it will quickly expand to one thousand. Because this is enough to make the group of people whose interests have been damaged deny the justice of changing the law.

The Great Song Dynasty was so virtuous, and Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal probably failed in this way. Because the price is too great for the emperor to bear.

When Wang Anshi wanted to say something, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't say it again." Now you don't want me to talk about these long-term and ineffective strategies, I don't want strategy but tactics, I want this year, this time, to actually solve the specific details of the cold incident. ”

In view of Zhao Zhen's tone was already very unhappy, Wang Anshi quieted down again.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Bao Zheng, what did you do after you found out that the magnates were driving up the price of charcoal and causing your rescue measures to be greatly depleted?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "The old minister is incompetent, and he has investigated in-depth for some time, but according to the existing regulations, they have no obvious illegal acts, and the old minister can only do limited, so he can only gather a few relatives of His Majesty and give them a stern warning: If the people of my Kaifeng Mansion freeze to death too much because of their intervention in making money, the old minister will never let them go afterwards." In addition, after Zhanzhao's investigation, Lao Chen knocked out two gangs that monopolized the firewood business in Chenliu County, but the situation involved was too complicated and there were too many people involved, and the temporary effect was difficult to show. ”

“？”

This is Bao Zheng's countermeasure, Zhao Zhen was also drunk, and got up with a black line on his face and said: "Bao Zheng!" You still want to ruin my reputation, you can talk about things if you have something, and since you have investigated them and not violated the law, you still threaten them, which is a negative effect. But I don't want to talk about you, but you opened your mouth and closed your mouth during the Great Dynasty? But you can't say why, where do you end me? ”

Bao Zheng thought for a while and spread his hands and said: "But the old minister didn't say nonsense, this is the truth, they are really His Majesty's relatives and not fake, and they really haven't broken the law, so the old minister didn't arrest or torture, but just gave a warning." What's wrong with that? ”

I'm @#¥

Zhao Zhen said dejectedly: "So you just pulled the hatred and didn't solve the matter, and then finally came to me for help, is it my fault?" ”

Bao Zheng tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "This is Your Majesty's conclusion, and the old minister didn't mean it." The old minister just told His Majesty what I had learned and experienced. ”
