Chapter 55 Qing'e-4
"Besides, An Sigu, he dares to use the money of the imperial court to help the hungry." Chen Dong slapped the table, and said with a gloomy face, "The officials below are even more unscrupulous, and the imperial court gives a bucket of grain, but I am afraid that there is not a liter of it that is really distributed to the hungry people, and it is transferred into the granary of the profiteer, and then sold at a high price." ”
"An Sigu was also confused for a while, this is clearly a trap for the traitorous party."
"What if it's a trap for the traitors?" Chen Dong's face sank, and he said awe-inspiringly, "Hungry people, whether they are Qingliu or traitors, they are so hungry that they will rebel." Coupled with the agitation of Fang Layu's party. I was ordered to go on patrol before, if I hadn't met one and done one to set an example, I was afraid that the southeast road would have been chaotic. ”
When Zhao Ke was preparing for the East Palace, his confidants were either cut off or gradually snubbed. Most of the important ministers of the court have gone through two dynasties, and Zhao Ke always has a feeling of thorns in his back. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhao Ke really put a lot of thought into cultivating cronies to gradually replace the old ministers. Many of the Qingliu Humerus of the Science Society have gone through the Taixue and the Imperial Examination, and although there are not many who have emerged in the court, they have spread all over the states and counties in the past two years. Some of them have made outstanding political achievements, while others have colluded with the original turbid officials, and there is a lot of criticism in the court and among the people.
"These scum, before they came out, denounced the traitorous party and the people, and they were all righteous and awe-inspiring. But when it was his turn to be an official, his face changed in just one or two years. It's not even as good as a traitor. Chen Dong said with hatred, "The traitorous party is greedy, but it can still control the situation, and the profiteers are especially in awe, and they dare not act too recklessly." As an official of the imperial court, we are usually pedantic and incompetent, and for the sake of thousands of dollars, we are willing to collude with the profiteers and businessmen. You have only been greedy for a few thousand dollars, but can you take the money for disaster relief? Thousands of hungry people died under his rule. Human life is at stake! The people of dozens of states and counties in the southeast are watching, what do you think I should do? ”
The study was quiet, and Deng Su's face was a little ugly. He even knows more about the bad deeds of some so-called "clear streams". But he did not agree with Chen's approach. The limelight of the Li Society is getting stronger and stronger, not only the traitors such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan, but even the former allies, Zhao Zhifu, Qin Hui, Shao Wu and other important ministers of the imperial court, have gradually become suspicious, and even have the momentum of joining forces to suppress them. The party is the same and the party is different, and it is about the party's business. Chen Dong did not protect the people in the society, as soon as his impeachment of An Sidao came out, the traitorous party of the Manchu Dynasty was overjoyed, and the Yushitai and Dali Temple all competed to fall into the ground, and the crime of embezzlement of ink committed by An Sidao was degraded and exiled according to the laws of the dynasty, and finally he was condemned to a loan and assassination. An Sidao had tattoos on his face, he couldn't stand the ridicule of the world, and actually hanged himself on the land in Cangzhou.
After this incident came out, many officials from the Danish Society were saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, and some even went around with the remnants of the traitorous party. Of course, there are also many people who applaud, most of these people have no concept of the overall situation, they only know how to act rashly, even Hu Keji stabbed Cai Jun to death and other disasters, these people also applauded. Chen Gongju and Zhang Yanling, who presided over the council in the southeast, actually contacted tens of thousands of gentry and ordinary people to write to the imperial court, listing all kinds of bad deeds of Cai Jun in Hangzhou, requesting that Hu Keji be punished lightly, and even called Hu Keji "the righteous man of the Great Song Dynasty" in the above book. Local councils have also responded in solidarity. It's just that this book fell into the mouth of the traitorous party, and it has been compared with the text of the original Fang La incident.
Killing the officials of the imperial court without permission is not trivial, and the more this matter is made louder, the more it violates the taboo of the master. Deng Su also visited the master for this matter, Qin Hui in the imperial history, Qin Hui looked at him left and right, and he didn't even have vague guidance. Deng Su felt that a mountain rain was about to come in the court. Deng Su originally came here to persuade Chen Dong to write letters to the governing societies in various places, to temporarily suppress the increasingly fierce limelight, and to rescue Hu Keyan, it is not impossible to slowly figure it out, or to overturn the case in the future. Who knew that Chen Dong not only didn't think so, but also followed those people to mess around and write a book to defend Hu Keji. The two argued, and they got really angry, and only then did they pull out the case of An Sidao a few months ago.
After being silent for half a pillar of incense, Deng Su said slowly: "Shaoyang, we are here to organize the management society, and we are here to make a difference. It's just a matter of priority. At present, although the traitorous party has temporarily died down, its strength has not been damaged, and the senior teachers in the clear stream have some misunderstandings about us. Although the official family wants to rely on Brother Shaoyang and clarify the government, if we don't do things properly, give people the truth, and secretly slander the ministers on the left and right, and the three of them become tigers, how long can the official family trust Brother Shaoyang? Brother Shaoyang, the most important thing now is to forbear, accumulate strength, and never act rashly. Hu Keji may be a righteous man, and if he moves to the traitorous party in the future, when you are in charge of the dynasty, you can naturally make a big difference, but now you must not rush forward and give others a chance to take advantage of it. ”
Deng Su's heartfelt words were quite serious. Chen Dong closed his eyes slightly, and said after a long time: "Shouyi, I also know your considerations. It's just that the politician is also a politician. What is particular about praise and depreciation, depreciation and depreciation, warp and weft are clear, and good and evil are suspended. In this way, the world can know good and evil, know honesty and shame, and abide by morality. Hu Keji stabbed Cai Jun to death, this case shocked the world, how the court dealt with it, it has been like the trip of the sun and the moon, and everyone in the world is looking forward to it. The ancients said, 'When a countryman meets me, I repay him with a countryman; When the people meet me, I repay them with the people. Hu Keji is clearly a righteous man, and the traitorous party falsely accused him of 'rebellion' and killed him, which is to kill Boyi for the crime of stealing. If they succeed, then everyone in the world thinks that the court will repay the righteous with thieves, and everyone in the world can be thieves. The master made "Spring and Autumn" and the rebellious ministers and thieves were afraid. In the case of Hu Keji, if we don't speak up, the world will be indistinguishable, and the hearts of the people in the world will be gone, and it will be too late to regret it in the future. ”
"Alarmist." Deng Su said dissatisfied, took a sip of tea, "Look at the current situation, this is a matter of defending grievances, and you can make some changes." ”
Chen Dong sighed and said in a deep voice: "Shouyi, I'm not inflexible. But if you change too much, I'm afraid you'll be lost. Li Ling wanted to keep a useful body, deceived the Huns, caused the old mother to ambush him, and his wife abandoned the city. Therefore, the people who established the name of the ancient sincerity festival are not inflexible, and the reason why they die is precisely for this. Our generation reads the books of the sages, and if we are poor, we will be good to ourselves, and if we are good, we will be good to the world, and we will be in the dark room, and we will walk under the sun and the moon. Life is not disappointed by the people of the community, and death is worthy of the sages and heroic spirits, and the rest of the wishes are enough. ”
Deng Su saw that he couldn't listen to persuasion, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, Chen Shaoyang, you are a righteous person who chooses good and stubborn, and we are shameless villains who wait and see success or failure." In a fit of rage, he stood up and went out with his sleeves up. Even Mrs. Chen in the corridor didn't see it clearly, so she rushed out of the door.
Chen Dong looked at Deng Su's back and slammed the door, stunned on the spot, unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. "Am I wrong?" He muttered, feeling a soft pancreas gently holding his right palm, and whispering in his ear: "Xianggong doesn't have to blame himself, although the slave family doesn't understand so many truths, but usually walking in the streets and alleys of Bianliang, everyone says it...... You're a good officer. Chen Dong nodded and said in a low voice: "Deng Shouyi is also a good official, he has his reasons." I have my reasoning," he paused, and suddenly said, "Zhang Minghuan must agree with me." ”
When Mrs. Chen heard him mention a dead man, she couldn't help but feel frightened in her heart, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yuanzhi must also agree with you." "Well," Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, and only then sighed: "Yuan Zhi is also an elm head." "He is deeply reused by the official family, and he is busy with government affairs, and even most of the affairs of the Science Society are handed over to Deng Su, Wu Zilong, Chen Gongju and others, and his correspondence with Zhao Xingde has been interrupted for a long time." Yuanzhi, what are you doing now? ”
............
"Stabbing the son of the deceased is involved in party strife, and I don't know how to calm down." Zhao Xingde stood on a flat-bottomed sea boat. Wang Hengzhi happened to send a batch of newly captured armor from Kaizhou to Suzhou by sea, so he asked Zhao Xingde to take this ship with him. He was also thinking in a daze, "The Jurchen Jin Kingdom in the north is as strong as it was, and the Liao Kingdom shows no signs of decay. After these two tigers compete for a knot, they will inevitably take the Central Plains directly. If the party struggle is still so fierce, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss. Wang ruled and Han Shizhong were all transferred to Jiangnan, and Liu Yanqing couldn't stop the Liao army nine times out of ten,...... Or Jin Bing, shouldn't I remind Chen Dong not to easily join Jin to attack Liao. However, the general trend of the world has changed so much, and this kind of reminder is meaningless. ”
The blue sky overhead, the sea breeze is gentle, Mr. Zhao stands on the bow of the boat, his clothes are fluttering, frowning and contemplating. In the eyes of the envoy of the Han army, this look seemed to be carefully planned for the situation in Guannan, Suzhou, Wang Ji said secretly: "I asked for a word, Mr. Zhao immediately agreed to rush to Suzhou, and worked so hard for the Han army along the way, those who chewed their tongues behind their backs really had nothing to do." ”
The flat-bottomed boat has been traveling along the coast of Liaodong, and the blue-black coastline has always been in the starboard direction of the sea boat. For a few days, the wind has been favorable, and when we reached Suzhou Bay, the current gradually calmed down, and the whirlpools appeared and disappeared from time to time. Suddenly, Wang Ji saw a tall lighthouse, the sky was exceptionally clear, and the colorful flags on the lighthouse were particularly gorgeous. "It's here, it's here!" He shouted with joy, his eyes wide open, and he tried to distinguish the large earth-colored flag at the highest point of the lighthouse, on which was written in a large "Han" character in the color of blood.
