Chapter 48: Death in a Foreign Country
"You actually think things are too complicated, what I mean is not that the imperial court will raise these people, but that our imperial court will set up a special institution to provide these wounded and disabled soldiers with an activity to make money to support their families, these people can't do heavy farm work, you can let them raise chickens and pigs, these can be done." Zhao Huan proposed.
In later generations, there are many welfare enterprises, and the state will give corresponding preferential tax policies to these enterprises, and now Zhao Huan has been inspired by this aspect.
Hearing Zhao Huan's words, the two of them couldn't help but light up, especially Zhu Shengfei, he was even more happy, and now, as long as he was not allowed to spend money, he was happy.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is feasible, so that on the one hand, the soldiers on the front line can have less worries, and on the other hand, it can also increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, which is really a double win." Zhu Shengfei agreed.
Li Gang didn't have any opinions, as the secretary of the military department, he could get such benefits for his subordinates, he naturally raised his hands in favor.
"Okay, you can discuss the specific details, what I just mentioned is just an idea, you can continue to refine it, such as let them do different jobs according to the situation of the disability, when the time comes, you can write an excerpt, bring it up to me to see, if there is no problem, go to Su Weikang to approve the land, and then start planning this matter." Zhao Huan ordered.
Li Gang and Zhu Shengfei took the order and left.
After Zhao Huan became the emperor, he really realized that when doing a thing, if the leader attaches importance to it, the efficiency is really surprisingly high, but if the people below want to promote one thing, the difficulty is really surprisingly great, but now it is a troubled time, although Zhao Huan found many shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, such as redundant institutions, serious problems of buying and selling officials, but there has been no time to solve it, everything has to wait until the end of the war, and then settle accounts after the autumn.
Let's say that Cai Jing on the other side, after leaving Bianjing City, couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart, and the unwilling Cai Jing wrote a letter to Song Huizong Zhao Ji: "Eighty-one years ago, three thousand miles away without a home, alone in the world, looking at Shenzhou and crying. The five golden palaces have worshiped the prime minister, and the jade hall has been declared ten times, reminiscing about the prosperity of the past, and turning it into a dream. ”
Cai Jing hoped that Zhao Ji's mercy could be begged through this poem, but unfortunately this poem was not delivered to Zhao Ji's hands in the end.
Soon in the morning of the next day, a large number of officials began to impeach Cai Jing, and the servants of the imperial history began to write a book to try to state Cai Jing's treachery, and the student Chen Dong directly wrote a book, calling Cai Jing "the head of the six thieves".
Zhao Huan looked at the thick stack of denouncing Cai Jing in front of him, and shook his head helplessly, this group of people is really very powerful, why did they go earlier, wait until they see that people have lost their power and then go to the book, but they will really fall into the ground.
"Look, this thick stack of folds, do you know what it is?" Zhao Huan pointed to the half-human-high recital in front of him and asked the many ministers.
The ministers who can stand here are all human spirits, and they naturally know what the twists and turns in front of Zhao Huan are, but they don't understand the meaning of Zhao Huan's question at this time.
The servant Shi Sun Mo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the twist and turn of the minister's letter to impeach Cai Jing. ”
"Hmph, do you know that this is a twist and turn to impeach Cai Jing? I took a look, the earliest charges were already twenty years ago, they were all twenty years ago, and you are only now writing to impeach, what did you officials do twenty years ago? In the past 20 years, do you calculate, how much loss has it brought to the court and the people? Can you afford to pay this responsibility? Zhao Huan threw down a piece of music.
The ministers hurriedly knelt down and confessed their guilt.
"Plead guilty and admit guilt, you are indeed guilty, what is the use of the court raising you officials, the imperial historian? Is it for idle meals? Zhao Huan reprimanded sharply: "You are my eyes and ears, you have to play what you hear and see to me in time, this can be regarded as serving the court and living up to the country's grace, not like this, when the people are gone, you will come to impeach, you say, is it too late?" ”
Many imperial historians didn't dare to refute it, in fact, they were also bitter in their hearts, Cai Jing was a very popular minister in the past, and the emperor Zhao Ji relied on Cai Jing very much, and someone wrote to impeach Cai Jing at the beginning, but in the end, it was all gone, this person was retaliated against by Cai Jing, and after a long time, these people naturally did not dare to move Cai Jing again.
Zhao Huan naturally knows this truth, the reason why he says this now is not to blame these people for anything, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the root cause of that situation is still the reason for his cheap father, and Zhao Huan is now like this in order to indicate that he wants these imperial historians to do their duty of supervising hundreds of officials.
Cai Jing came all the way to Tanzhou, but there was no way to go on.
In Chongjiao Temple, Cai Jing has long lost his former demeanor, and the eighty-one-year-old Cai Jing is only skinny and bones.
"Cai Gui, haven't you gotten anything to eat yet?" Cai Jing's voice had no strength to speak.
"Master, the people heard that the Cai family wanted to buy things, but they didn't sell them, master, our last bit of dry food has been used up, what is it like now?" Cai Gui said helplessly, quite a few years, Cai Mansion has been prominent for a while, when has he received such treatment, and now, he actually pulled ten carts of silver, but he couldn't even buy a little food.
Hearing what Cai Gui said, Cai Jing couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing, and actually howled and cried again, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jing is out of the heart, why is it here, why is it here!" Sad! Sad! Sad! ”
Cai Jing shouted "sad" three times in a row, but he actually closed his eyes and died!
The final fate of a generation of traitors was to die in a foreign country, and finally starved to death in Tanzhou, which can be regarded as deserved.
Subsequently, Zhao Huan issued a document denouncing Cai Jing as the "head of the six thieves", and confiscated all the gold, silver and jewelry coefficients in Cai Jing's family.
The war between Song and Jin is still in a state of stalemate, but the Song army has faintly changed from a disadvantage to an advantage, especially after the great victory of Zhending, at least in terms of numbers, the Song army is already on par with the Jin army.
