When the emperor's relatives heard this, their expressions were different.

Some people were trembling with excitement, and some people were pale.

The reason why the emotions of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fluctuated with the emperor's relatives was because they were worried that Zhao Zhen would use the same tricks on them after seeing Zhao Zhen's ruthlessness to the emperor's relatives.

After all, Zhao Zhen was already so cruel to his own people, and it was naturally impossible to be merciful to outsiders like them.

The decree implemented by Zhao Zhen was beneficial to some of the emperor's relatives.

For the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it was all advantageous.

Zhao Zhen's move not only urged them to be aggressive, but also urged them to work hard to teach their juniors, urge their juniors to become talents quickly, and strive to continue their wealth.

After three generations of imperial relatives, it is very likely that they will lose their power, but they will definitely leave some family wealth more or less.

However, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the civil ministers, are not successful in three generations, it is very likely that they will become cold and disappear among the people.

Of course, not everyone was satisfied with Zhao Zhen's decree.

Some of the military ministers used the merits of their ancestors to become rich and noble, and some of the civil ministers used the shadow of their ancestors to make up for the officials, and they disagreed with Zhao Zhen's decree very much.

However, where Chai Zongqing's body was lying, the sword that killed Chai Zongqing was held in Zhao Zhen's hand, and they really didn't dare to make trouble with Zhao Zhen at this time.

"Official Shengming!"

Lu Yijian was the first to speak and held Zhao Zhen.

Then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all opened their mouths and praised Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen did not smile in the praise of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he stared at the emperor's relatives and said, "All of them go to the criminal department to receive their crimes." ”

The royal relatives bowed in unison, answered, and withdrew from the vertical arch hall.

Zhao Zhendian sent two officials from the Criminal Department to follow.

After the royal relatives are gone.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to have won a great battle, and their faces showed unprecedented joy.

Zhao Zhen brainlessly protected the emperor's relatives for a few months, and they followed for a few months.

Now that the emperor's relatives have been completely rectified, the resentment in their hearts has finally disappeared.

When their eyes fell on Zhao Zhen's face, they found that Zhao Zhen's expression was still cold.

The hearts of the Manchu civil and military forces jumped.

They immediately remembered that Chai Zongqing's case not only involved Chai Zongqing alone, but also involved many courtiers.

Chai Zongqing's crime has nothing to do with them, but those courtiers who were involved have a real relationship with them.

Zhao Zhen slowly spoke under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, "You have been yelling for months, let me deal with my own family." Now my own family, I have dealt with it. Shouldn't I deal with you? ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stared at Zhao Zhen one by one and did not speak.

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "The salary of 2.7 million Guan soldiers was greedy, the amount was so large, and so many officials were implicated, there was no news from beginning to end. If it weren't for the Zhuozhou Mutiny, I wouldn't have known that the military salary I sent down would have been less than eighty percent before I left Bianjing, and ninety percent less after I left Bianjing.

How much deception is there?

How many are informed?

And how many corrupt officials are shielding each other? ”

Zhao Zhen got up with his sword and said angrily: "I'm thinking, I approve tens of millions of military salaries every year, is it also ninety percent greedy?" If this is the case, those who handle the military salary can really be rich and rival the country.

It's no wonder that our Great Song Dynasty has been defeated miserably in foreign wars before.

It is no wonder that thousands of soldiers in our Great Song Dynasty freeze to death or starve to death every year.

The money they sold for their lives was greedy.

The money for their lives was also greedy.

How could they not starve to death?

How can it be possible for me to die for the Great Song?

They are all hard-working people, and they are exchanging their lives for money.

They are also greedy for money, do you still have a conscience, do you have humanity?

In the northwest, I saw that fourteen-year-old boy, fighting for an acre of land, carrying a knife, and tearing apart a strong enemy who was nearly twice as strong and tall as him, and I saw tears in my eyes.

What about you?

Cold-blooded, ruthless-hearted, greedy for their dying money behind the back.

I treat you well, and I don't treat you well.

The Yulu I gave you, and the Yulu that the Great Song Dynasty gave you, is the highest in all dynasties.

Emperor Taizu set a high amount of money for you, just to feed you and let you stretch out your hands less to the people.

But what about you?

Insatiable! ”

"The ministers are guilty!"

Lu Yijian took the lead, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded guilty.

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "Of course you are guilty!" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty lowered their heads in unison.

Zhao Zhen began to roll call, "Lu Yijian? ”

Lu Yijian hurriedly came out of the class and said: "The minister is here!" ”

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "I will punish you for a year, do you admit it?" ”

Lu Yijian said decisively: "Confession! ”

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "There is such a big corruption case in the imperial court, and you don't notice it from beginning to end, you are derelict in your duties." ”

Lu Yijian is a Pingzhang matter, and during his administration, such a big corruption case occurred, and he must be held responsible.

Lu Yijian bowed down and said, "The minister is at fault!" ”

Zhao Zhen no longer paid attention to Lu Yijian, he looked at Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai, "You will also be fined for one year!" ”

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai decisively accepted punishment.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the many imperial histories of the Imperial History Terrace.

"On weekdays, there are some trivial things in Bianjing City, and you all have to take them to the court for impeachment, but now that there is such a big corruption case, none of you have played to me.

Are you too deaf to serve as the imperial historian, or are you shielding some of them? ”

The royal historians saluted together.

"The ministers are guilty!"

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "I will only punish you this time, and next time, I will let you all go to the northwest to herd sheep!" ”

"The minister is at fault!"

"Humph!"

After Zhao Zhen disposed of the imperial history, he punished many people successively.

Most of them are fines.

Only two or three were demoted.

It's not that Zhao Zhen picked it up high and put it down low.

Instead, the officials who were really involved in the corruption case have all been arrested.

Most of those who are still standing in the court are guilty of negligence.

After Zhao Zhen disposed of the officials who were negligent, he slowly sat on the throne and said coldly: "This corruption case is the leader of the three clans, and the other criminals, regardless of their official positions, will be put into the cell together, and they will be beheaded after the autumn."

His family wealth was confiscated and confiscated into the national treasury.

His family was exiled to the frontiers.

The matter was supervised by the king. ”

Wang Zeng slowly walked out of class, bowed down and said, "The minister's decree!" ”

Zhao Zhen continued: "Zhang Zhibai? ”

"The minister is here!"

Zhang Zhibai went out of class to answer.

Zhao Zhen stared at Zhang Zhibai and said: "I know that you are an official and upright, and you previously served as the secretary of the military department in Nanjing, and you can be regarded as familiar with some military affairs. I'm going to send you to check with the left and right servants of the Criminal Department.

Find out where every military salary in previous years has been left and gone, and find out where every piece of ordnance has been left and left in previous years.

Check out the place for me, and see how many people in the army are drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating the flesh of the soldiers.

You don't have to be afraid of offending people.

After you find out, report it directly to me.

I'll order Koji to deal with these people.

I believe that Kou Ji will not be afraid of the other party's identity, let alone take into account the other party's background. ”

A slight surprise flashed on Zhang Zhibai's face, he took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "......"

Not only Zhang Zhibai was shocked.

The Manchu Dynasty was also shocked.

It was an earth-shattering event to investigate and deal with the departure and retention of every military salary and ordnance in previous years.

As long as those who serve in the army, eighty percent of them have drunk the blood of soldiers.

Some even live by drinking the blood of soldiers.

If it is really investigated according to what Zhao Zhen said, eighty percent of the martial artists will be unlucky.

In order to save their lives or protect their own interests, no one dares to say for sure.

Some of the people in the Wuchen train heard Zhao Zhen's words, and their faces changed, but they didn't say anything.

Speaking out at this time is no different from not admitting yourself.

Even if they want to plan any means of self-preservation, they will have to wait for the next dynasty.

The ministers were not calm either.

Zhao Zhen's move is undoubtedly to set off a big storm in the Great Song Dynasty.

What the final result will be, no one can say.

If the wolf smoke is everywhere, then the Great Song Dynasty will probably be in danger.

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to see the shocked faces of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and after announcing the matter, he instructed Zhu Neng: "Zhu Neng, you quickly go to Zhuozhou to appease those soldiers who are in rebellion."

When I have collected the salaries of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I will send them to you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said: "Kou Ji, you help me keep an eye on Zhuozhou, if you really need soldiers and horses to suppress it, you can dispatch a team of soldiers and horses, and let Zhu Neng lead it to suppress the rebellion." ”

Kou Ji and Zhu Neng came out of work together, bowed down and said, "......"

"Retreat!"

Zhao Zhen announced his retreat from the dynasty, and left the vertical arch hall in the congratulatory sound of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

Lu Yijian and the three of them walked out of the vertical arch hall with complicated expressions.

Standing at the door of the vertical arch hall, Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "It's going to change the sky......

Wang Zeng frowned and said, "I always feel that this matter has something to do with Kou Ji. ”

Lu Yijian snorted coldly: "Of course it has something to do with Kou Ji, it is difficult for the official family to lay out such a big game of chess, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone."

With a sum of money and a mutiny, he disposed of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and by the way, he brought all the martial arts with him.

Everything is arranged so well that there is no place to refute it.

The relatives of the emperor have been disposed of, and I dare not say whether the martial artists can be disposed of or not.

But I dare to assert that during the period when Zhang Xiang's investigation of corruption in the army, no one would write to help the martial artists complain. ”

Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly: "Who dares to cry out for Wu Xun? If the officials do not investigate and deal with it, how can they give an account to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how to explain to the people, and how to explain to the officers and men in the army? ”

"Good means!"

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and admired.

Zhang Zhibai let out a long sigh and said, "You two have to help me, I did something that offended people, and I may have to leave Beijing for a while." If someone takes a risk and hurts my family, you have to help me protect me. ”

When Wang Zeng heard this, he snorted coldly: "Woe to the family, those martial artists really took risks, and if they threatened Zhang Xiang's family, the old man would make them regret coming to this world." ”

Lu Yijian nodded with a heavy face, "If they really dare to touch Zhang Xiang's family, the old man will dare to take soldiers and kill them in their house." ”

After a pause, Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, the most dangerous person should be Kou Ji, because he is the last person to make a move." ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "If he was afraid of danger, he would not give this idea to the official family." ”

"Stinky Boy ......"

Lu Yijian scolded in a low voice.

"Lu Yijian, you're going too far!"

Just as Lu Yijian was cursing, Kou Ji walked out of the door with his hands on his back.

Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's voice and said angrily: "Bastard, you dare to call the old man's name? ”

Not to be outdone, Kou Ji said: "Above the court, there is no distinction between the old and the young, only the rank. I'm no lower than you. Besides, there is a difference between civil and military, and I am now the head of the military ministers.

You speak out against me.

If you provoke a civil and military dispute and mess up the court, it will be your sin. ”

When Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's words, he was completely angry, "Kou Ji, don't think that now that you are a privy envoy, the old man will not be able to cure you." The old man will go to the Wenchang Academy now, and ask Kou Gong to come out and teach you how to respect the elderly. ”

Kou Ji said disdainfully: "Only three or five-year-old dolls will find other people's elders to complain!" ”

As soon as Kou Ji's words came out, Lu Yi's angry three corpse gods jumped violently, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to commit murder.

But he was stopped by Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai.

Kou Ji is not wrong about one sentence.

That is, this place is the court, and there is no elder or young above the court, only grades.

The two of them really scuffled, no one could please anyone, and they would be laughed at.

After Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai stopped Lu Yijian, Kou Ji decisively smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

After Kou Ji had been gone for a long time, Lu Yijian relented and said angrily: "Let that kid mess around in the court for a few more years, maybe we will all be ridden on our heads by him." ”

Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly: "If you really can't get used to his actions, you can just impeach him." ”

Lu Yijian said angrily: "The old man will write to impeach him tomorrow." ”

Wang Zeng was about to echo a sentence, but suddenly seemed to remember something, beat his chest and said, "Oh no, I've fallen for that kid." ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai were stunned.

Wang Zeng shouted, "What are we waiting here for, just to wait for that boy to come out and ask some of the reasons." But now we didn't ask anything, and the boy ran away. ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai woke up under Wang Zeng's reminder and beat their chests together.

After a long time.

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the Koufu Courtyard ......"

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is widely implicated, if you don't figure out the reason, I'm afraid something big will happen." Now that that kid has escaped, he can only go to the Koufu Courtyard in person to meet his junior. ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded slowly.

Lu Yijian hesitated for a moment, and said unwillingly: "The old man is an elder, and it is too embarrassing to go to visit a junior." ”

"At this time, what kind of face do you care?"

“……”

The three of them made a decision and left the palace together.

After leaving the palace gate, I saw the soldiers of the forbidden army running around the streets, entering and exiting the mansions of various imperial relatives.

The scene that happened in the court today has already been spread by the officials who are one step ahead.

What those forbidden soldiers are doing, the people in Bianjing City also know.

Most of the people did not understand the deep meaning of this court incident, nor did they have the idea of delving into it.

They only knew that the incomparably holy official family had done another very happy thing.

That is to deal with those royal relatives who are powerful and oppressive in Bianjing City on weekdays.

In addition to a great harm for the people, the people are naturally happy.

While praising the official family one by one, they all ran to the door of the emperor's relatives to see the excitement.

Some of the people who had been oppressed by the emperor's relatives even set off artillery battles in the streets.

The people rejoiced.

In the mansions of dignitaries, there was no cheerful atmosphere.

Most of them were dull as if there were no people.

The cheerfulness of the people and the gloom of the officials, Lu Yijian and the three of them had no time to take care of it.

The three of them rode in a carriage and staggered to the Koufu Annex.

The three of them stopped at the gate of the Kou Mansion, and they didn't need to pass through, so the servants of the Kou Mansion took the initiative to get out of the way.

Wang was a frequent visitor to the Koufu Courtyard, where are the identities of Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai.

The gatekeeper of the Kou Mansion did not dare to stop it.

Look at the gloomy faces of the three of them, I'm afraid they will be beaten if they stop them, and there is no place to reason.

The three of them entered the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, and when they arrived at the main hall, they instructed the steward of the Kou Mansion to call Kou Ji out.

Then, one by one, as if in his own house, he shouted five and six to let the servants of the Kou Mansion prepare refreshments.

It's not that they're putting on a show, but they purely regard Kou Ji as their own, so they don't have a point.

If Kou Ji went to the house of the three of them, no one would say anything like this.

If Kou Ji went to the house of the three of them, fell in love with the beautiful concubine, and greeted him, as long as the three of them were willing, he would not hesitate to send it over.

Vice versa.

Of course, there are no concubines in the Kou Mansion.

Although Zhang Zhibai is an honest official, he also has concubines.

It was all given by the palace.

One by one, they are in the name of concubines in Zhang's Mansion, but they are doing the errand of calling girls.

If Kou Ji can really take a fancy to it, Zhang Zhibai can't wait to send it all to him in one go.

He can't afford it anyway.

Because most of his money was donated to poor scholars.

The three of them sat in the main hall for a short time.

I didn't see Kou Ji's shadow, but I saw Xiang Yan appear in the main hall with Kou Tianci in his arms.

"What are you doing here, Kou Ji?"

Wang Zeng asked suspiciously.

Xiang Yan cried and laughed and said: "Xianggong said, Duke Lu and Duke Zhang have not met with Tianci'er in private." So I ordered the concubine to bring it over to the two of them. ”

Lu Yijian's face turned black all of a sudden.

Zhang Zhibai looked bitter.

Lu Yijian groped for things in his arms, and muttered and scolded: "Everyone in the world says that he is the God of Kou Cai, and the old man sees that he is Kou Peel." As long as you seize the opportunity, you will be peeled off a layer of skin and will not miss any opportunity. ”

Lu Yijian fumbled in his arms for a long time and found an ink ingot.

Wang Zeng looked a little familiar, but did not speak.

Lu Yijian snorted: "Fortunately, the old man has been prepared......

Lu Yijian handed the ink ingot to Kou Tianci and admonished: "The little guy will study more in the future, don't learn from your father, if you don't learn and have no skills, you will have a bad stomach." ”

Xiang Yan thanked Kou Tianci with him, but did not open his mouth to correct Kou Ji's name.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't argue with Lu Yijian, an elder.

On the ink ingot sent by Lu Yijian, a circle of golden peonies is outlined.

It's not ordinary.

Xiang Yan had seen it in her grandfather Xiang Minzhong's study before, and it was a tribute.

There is no private trafficking.

The officials would give some to their ministers.

The golden peony belongs to the treasure in the ink ingot, and only the important ministers are rewarded.

And there are very few of them.

Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly after Lu Yijian sent out the ink ingot: "The old man has no long things, only this belly of knowledge." When this kid grows up, the old man can be a gentleman for him for a few years. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Everyone present changed color in unison.

The same is true for Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan hurriedly saluted Zhang Zhibai and said in a deep voice: "Gong Zhang's gift is too valuable, and the concubine is afraid that she can't afford it." ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng also spoke out one after another, admonishing Zhang Zhibai to be cautious.

What is Zhang Zhibai's identity, participating in political affairs.

There are only two people who are qualified to hire him as a gentleman.

One is an official family, and the other is the crown prince.

Today's Great Song Dynasty does not have a crown prince, so there is only one official family.

Even if the official family asks Zhang Zhibai to teach, he must be respected as a teacher.

It means a teacher who preaches and teaches.

What Zhang Zhibai promised to give Kou Tian, Mengshi.

It means Mr. Enlightenment.

As Zhang Zhibai, he served as a teacher for Kou Tianci, and no one could serve as Kou Tianci's karma teacher in the future.

At that time, I am afraid that Zhang Zhibai will need to take on the same role.

Zhang Zhibai received Kou Tianci to get started, and he will inevitably teach by word and deed, and be responsible to the end.

Kou Tianci is likely to become Zhang Zhibai's personal inheritance.

Students who pass on their own traditions are very different from ordinary students

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng are both from the past, so they naturally know what the difference is.

So they exhorted Zhang Zhibai to be cautious.

Even if Kou Zhun is here, I'm afraid he will admonish one or two.

Zhang Zhibai heard the words of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Xiang Yan, and said with a smile: "Since I dare to speak, I naturally made up my mind." Therefore, there is no possibility of repentance, and there will be no regrets.

Although Kou Ji is unlearned, he is a smart man.

Xiang Yan has been famous since she was a child, and her literary talent is not low.

The sons of the two of them must not be stupid people.

I accepted him as a beginner, and I also accepted a good apprentice. ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "After all, it's still a risk......"

Zhang Zhibai laughed and said: "The old man only promised to teach him for three or five years. If he becomes a talent, the old man will continue to teach. If he is not successful, after three or five years, the old man will return him to Kou Ji. ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng saw that Zhang Zhibai had made up his mind, so they could only sigh and did not dissuade him again.

Zhang Zhibai said this lightly, but it really came to that point, can he let go?

The relationship between master and apprentice in the ancients was different from that between master and apprentice in most later generations.

The ancients were really like father and son between master and apprentice.

Once you get in the door, you will be responsible for it to the end.

When you become a gentleman, you will not only impart knowledge and principles to students, but also take responsibility for students throughout their lives.

Everything about the students, the gentleman has to care.

When a student makes a mistake, Mr. has to follow suit.

Zhang Zhibai accepted Kou Tianci to get started, and it was difficult to go out after Kou Tianci.

Because Zhang Zhibai served as Kou Tianci's teacher, no one can serve as Kou Tianci's karma teacher anymore, which is caused by Zhang Zhibai's status and is Zhang Zhibai's responsibility, so Zhang Zhibai must be responsible.
