Chapter 095: Succession (7)
Needless to say, Redchamp was a great loyalty; But loyal ministers are sometimes very pleasing and sometimes disgusting in front of the emperor, which depends on the means and speaking skills of loyal ministers; Speak straight and go like a rafter poke, of course, it is difficult to please, and you have to suffer from spanking, which is probably the misfortune caused by not being able to speak.
Can't speak? Is this kind of discourse a bit of a feeling that the world is not touching the world, and who in the world can't speak except for the dumb?
Hi! Boy, you can't talk so much; In the world, except for the mute, everyone can speak, but there are three words that are clever to say.
When someone marries a daughter-in-law, you don't want to fight even if you say some frustrating words? In the same way, when people are sad and sad, you bury the deceased, but you sing praises; It's no wonder if you don't break your head!
The emperor is a man, not a god, and he is worried about state affairs, but you are standing aside and muttering some irrelevant cowardices; The emperor is merciful if he doesn't kill you.
Lei Dexiang was not introduced by the eunuch and went straight in to say bad things about Zhao Pu, and Zhao Kuangyin could be polite to him.
Zhao Pu is Zhao Kuangyin's iron buddy, and Zhao Pu established indelible achievements when Chen Qiaoyi was in a yellow robe; What's more, Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about the Song army's crusade against the Northern Han Dynasty at this time, and many soldiers died tragically on the way.
Zhao Kuangyin was mourning for the tragic death of the soldiers, hating Liu Jiyuan, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, to death, and he had the desire to kill.
Lei Dexiang, a guy with no eyebrows, rushed to sue Zhao Pu at this time, and Zhao Kuangyin's anger gathered on him.
There is a saying that if you don't fight rape or laziness, you will be beaten without eyebrows, and you have to look at the place and environment when you speak, Lei Dexiang is blindly loyal and brave; And the emperor is a man, not a god, although he cherishes his loyal ministers, but his anger is blowing with a blower, and it is not boring for Redt to be noisy and shouting that he will come in.
Zhao Kuangyin's anger was extreme, he held the jade pillar axe and stared at Lei Dexiang; An irrepressible anger burst out of his eyes.
Lei Dexiang chattered endlessly without knowing the current affairs, where could Zhao Kuangyin still hold it; Throwing a hidden weapon, he slammed the jade pillar axe towards Lei Dexiang.
only heard a crisp sound of "click", and the two very characteristic plate teeth on the façade of Lei Dexiang were knocked out by the jade pillar axe; The end was the same as the official buddy who didn't know the current affairs when Zhao Kuangyin was fighting birds.
Throwing the jade pillar axe over and smashing Lei Dexiang's two plate teeth is enough to illustrate the strength of Song Taizu's martial arts.
You also said that Song Taizu killed the east and the west in his life, and beat all over the fifty states of China with a coiling dragon stick; When he died, he left behind the eighteen ways of coiling dragons and sticks, and he really thought that he was a wise emperor who was both mighty and powerful; It's a pity that he was calculated by his own brother.
Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period famously said: "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes." The clothes are torn, but they can be sewn; Hand and foot broken, Encore continues ......"
Liu Bei and Guan Zhang are brothers of the opposite sex, and there is still a plot of "clothes can still be sewn and repaired if they are torn, and Anneng can continue when their hands and feet are broken"; Zhao Guangyi, a compatriot of Lao Shizi and Song Taizu's mother, actually had a murderous heart for his brother for a long time.
The reckless Lei Dexiang did not pay attention to any ways and means to break into the palace of Song Taizu to sue the prime minister Zhao Pu, and Emperor Taizu did not use the jade pillar axe to smash his two plate teeth, and demoted him to Shangzhou Sihu to join the army.
Shangzhou Sihu was a very small official who mainly managed local household registration, taxes, warehouse payments and other affairs; At the beginning of the year, Lei Dexiang could also be courteous to the governor of Shangzhou.
Later, a man named Xiyu came to be Zhizhou; knew that Lei Dexiang told Prime Minister Zhao Pu in front of the emperor, so he was not so friendly to him; Xi Yu wanted to cling to Zhao Pu, and as soon as he took office, he looked for Lei Dexiang's stubble.
He called Lei Dexiang to the public court, and asked Lei Dexiang to pay homage to him.
Lei Dexiang couldn't stand Xi Yu's self-righteous style, and complained in private; The words reached Xi Yu's ears, and Xi Yu was even more resentful; Someone took the opportunity to tell Xiyu that after Lei Dexiang arrived in Shangzhou, he wrote articles satirizing and slandering the imperial court.
Xi Yu asked Lei Dexiang to talk to him again, and then secretly sent someone to Lei Dexiang's residence to find the articles he usually wrote to vent his dissatisfaction as evidence of the crime.
Lei Dexiang was tied to the flail, and Xi Yu listed the charges in detail and reported them to the imperial court; Zhao Kuangyin was not angry this time, but was very calm, as if he felt that he had done too much to knock out the two plate teeth of Lei Dexiang with the jade pillar axe he threw that time; This time, since Xi Yu detained Lei Dexiang in the name of a criminal, he wanted to exonerate him.
Emperor Taizu revoked Lei Dexiang's "civil servant" qualification and sent him to Lingzhou to work.
Lei Dexiang was made so miserable, his son Lei Youlin naturally would not give up; Lei Youlin felt that his father's coming to this point was all caused by Zhao Pu, and he decided to move to him.
Lei Youlin obtained evidence of Zhao Pu's corruption and perversion of the law, and used some of his father's past connections to conduct a secret investigation of Zhao Pu's henchmen by means of undercover agents.
Soon, Lei Youlin mastered some illegal things related to Zhao Pu, such as Zhao Pu's subordinates accepting bribes, Zhao Pu accepting bribes, and shielding Beijing officials who could not take up their posts in the local area under the pretext of illness.
After the evidence was collected, Lei Youlin struck the drum and sued the royal court.
The Dengwen Drum is a large drum hanging outside the court, and hitting the Dengwen Drum is one of the important ways to express oneself in ancient China.
During the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could beat the drum to redress their grievances or make suggestions to the imperial court; or objections to the policy, etc.
The democratic atmosphere of the Song Dynasty had already been relatively sound during the reign of Taizu, so that the scholars and the common people dared to express their opinions.
No matter what the emperor is doing, as long as he hears the drum, he has to go to court.
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but be furious after hearing Lei Youlin's accusation after hearing the court; Immediately arrange capable clerks to investigate Zhao Pu.
After the evidence was conclusive, the case was quickly dealt with, and this time was in June of the 6th year of Kaibao (973 AD).
Although Zhao Pu was not punished, Zhao Kuangyin no longer trusted him; Two months later, Zhao Pu was ousted.
Wang Jien thought about the jade pillar axe killing the front teeth of the two court officials one after another, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The saint is now carrying the jade pillar axe in his hand again, of course, for the sake of King Jin's forcible seizure of Lady Hua Rui.
Wang Jien has already found out that after returning to Beijing from a private visit to Weifu from other places, Shengshang went to Mrs. Hua Rui's bedroom; When asked the maids beside Mrs. Hua Rui, they said that Madame Hua Rui was suing in front of the emperor; The emperor was very angry after listening to Madame Hua Rui's story.
Wang Jien beat the "tom tom" drum in his heart, although he knew that His Royal Highness the King of Jin intended to let Madame Hua Rui make her own tricks in front of the emperor; But isn't this move a bit thrilling?
After all, the emperor is prestigious, and he holds military power; If he is angry, how can a weak scholar of the King of Jin withstand the beating of the jade pillar axe.
Although the King of Jin has cultivated many minions in the capital over the years, the Holy King reigns over the world; Which of the minions of the King of Jin dares to move the emperor's fingers.
Then Zhao Kuangyin calmed down after a while, slowly inserted the jade pillar axe into his waist and turned to Wang Jien and shouted: "The stepson will go and invite the King of Jin into the palace immediately, and the widow will have two drinks with him tonight!" ”
Wang Jien heard Zhao Kuangyin shouting like this, and knew that the saint didn't want to use the jade pillar axe out of consideration of family affection; Then he ran to Zhao Kuangyin and nodded, received the holy order, and left the Long Live Hall like a rabbit and ran towards the Jin Palace......
