Chapter 289: Is This Rain Auspicious?
When the time came when a group of officials had different opinions, they all went on pilgrimage to meet the emperor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he came to the court. He himself is a young man with a sick brain, and the pavilions and Champs in the imperial city are naturally very beautiful when it rains, and he has a different style. A few months ago, Uncle Zhang did what Wang Anshi liked to do back then - kidnapping the emperor and getting Zhao Ji to beg for rain.
Therefore, in Zhao Ji's impression, rain is a good thing, representing the peace of the country and the people.
In fact, the rain in the capital did not become a disaster, Zhou Bangyan also wrote two poems such as "deep love and rain" in response to the situation, and sang in Dasheng Mansion, and heard that the concubines except the queen were stupid one by one, so under the influence of the foreign minister Uncle Zhang's night appearance, and the influence of the pillow wind of the ladies in the imperial city, Zhao Ji was very happy and regarded this rain as auspicious.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, this continuous rain is really auspicious for Your Majesty, and a bumper harvest can be counted on across the country. Your Majesty is sage, and the country's blessings are also. ”
Cai Jingjing didn't want to make a fuss in this situation, but Zuo Cheng He Zhizhong saw that Zhao Jilin was happy, so he began to bewitch the Sacred Heart.
Gao Yu Lao'er originally wanted to take the opportunity to shoot the emperor's horse, but seeing that Uncle Zhang's face was pale, although Gao Yu didn't understand these aspects, he had already smelled something bad with his sensitive sense of touch, and immediately couldn't help but participate. Otherwise, although Lao Gao is a military minister and can't interfere in politics, but he takes advantage of any situation in the court, and does not hesitate to reverse right and wrong.
Zhang Kegong came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to such fallacies. You must know that nothing is too much, this rain is good news for some areas and some people, but not for the whole country......"
Zhang Kegong wasted too much character in ordinary times, and said too many unpleasant words, resulting in no matter what the problem, as long as he opened his mouth, it would give Zhao Ji a headache, so Zhao Ji frowned absent-mindedly, and he didn't know what Zhang Kegong said in the second half.
But Gao Yu Lao Er immediately understood very cleverly, Zhang Kegong meant that these rains are disasters for some places, and it depends on the place.
In terms of intrigue and struggle, Gao Yu is very perceptive, although he doesn't know what these rains are for his baby son Gao Fangping. But I already understand what Cai Dang's He Zhizhong is doing, and Lao He is killing some people. Because as long as it is not a national catastrophe, once Lao He brought up the rhythm of the rain is the rhythm of the emperor's request, this statement is established, then those who still have reduced grain production or even no harvest under this auspicious season will be guilty of a big crime.
Thinking about it, Lao Gao took half a step back, quietly stepped on the feet of the planter, and asked in an inaudible voice, "Is this rain auspicious for Yuncheng?" ”
The seed master wanted to beat this unlearned old mallet to death with one punch, but he had to muttered in a low voice: "Captain, do you know how the eight hundred miles of water came from?" ”
Hearing this, Gao Yu Lao'er was frightened out of his body again, and only then did he understand why Uncle Zhang couldn't speak at night. Because to paraphrase He Zhizhong's old immortal words, this rain was begged by his Uncle Zhang at night at the emperor's begging, so it is naturally inconvenient to talk back at will, otherwise in addition to questioning him Lao Zhang himself, he still questioned the emperor.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Shenwu, if the officials who still owe their revenues in these years are enough to prove their incompetence. This kind of trick for selecting officials and discovering black sheep is simple and effective, and His Majesty can't think of it. ”
"Your Majesty is mighty, it is indeed like this, a handful of incompetent ruling officials will definitely be able to reveal their true form under your eyes."
After He Zhizhong began, these guys began to talk about all sorts of things. Basically, just like the floods that are breaking out in some places, the remarks like a tide in a short period of time have characterized the tone of Zhao Ji's begging for rain as "auspicious rather than flooded" in the court.
When Zhao Ji smiled like a tomato, everyone knew in their hearts that there could be no more objections to this statement. Whoever mentions the flood again is tantamount to questioning the emperor's justice.
What's more serious is that the various rhetoric of those guys in the back has been recognized by Zhao Ji, so in this climate, if anyone who does not meet the standard when the autumn harvest arrives, they will be directly dismissed or transferred to idle positions by Cai Jing without asking for instructions at all.
Soon, this continuous rain, which may have caused damage in some places, was regarded as auspicious by these guys and ended the discussion.
The tone has been set for the discussion of the continuous rain, but the concentrated impeachment of Gao Fangping has only just begun.
Ma Zhengsi did not participate, because after the Zeng Tou City incident, under the suggestion of the obscene Shi Jingjie, Shi Wenbin's document of "the wicked sue first" had already entered Beijing, and directly impeached Ma Zhengsi for conniving at the local Ma Zheng trampling on the cultivated land, and Cai Jingjing was caught off guard at that time and did not dare to participate in speaking.
Sweat. Of course, Lao Cai knew that this was when Xiao Gao united, and Wen Bin sued the wicked first. But in the Great Song Dynasty, farming first must be politically correct. Lao Cai really didn't dare to express his opposition on this kind of issue easily, of course, it was possible to be trained by Shi Wenbin and Gao Fangping, but once this kind of thing is not operated well, he will be hated by big traitors like Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shangying, and destroying farming is definitely the best reason for any dynasty, in the hands of any emperor, and there will never be an exception.
So at that time, Cai Xianggong remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing that there was indeed a problem with the Great Song Dynasty Ma Zheng. So based on the emperor's trust in Xiao Gao and Shi Wenbin, and based on the emperor's lack of discernment, listening to the wind is the rain, as soon as he heard that someone was crazy and trampled on the cultivated land to raise horses, Zhao Ji knew that this was not a trivial matter, and he angrily reprimanded Ma Si in court, and then the three horse officials were dismissed in a daze.
That incident was set as Ma Zheng's dereliction of duty, so Ma Zheng couldn't say Gao Fangping's rights and wrongs in the current court. Because this is a rogue act, it does not conform to political logic. Cai Jing doesn't want to care about anything else, but he is a person who pays attention to political logic.
Although Ma Zheng stopped talking, Tan Zheng and Yan Zheng, under the approval and instruction of Cai Jing, concentrated on Gao Fangping's all-round bombardment of Gao Fangping in this court.
"Gao Fangping's indiscriminate administration in Yuncheng has a far-reaching impact, and His Majesty cannot condone it." He Zhizhong said, "He is covering the sky in Yuncheng with one hand, and Yan Zheng and Tan Zheng have been suffering from his obscenity for a long time. Conniving at the proliferation of private salt and charcoal, and embezzling a large amount of money to the imperial court's carbon tax and salt tax, has reached the point of madness, whether it is impossible or not. Otherwise, if other places follow suit, it may shake the financial foundation of our dynasty! ”
"Speaking of this, the old minister also has to add a few words." Zhang Kegong, the old mallet, came out again.
As soon as this old Zhang came out of the list, everyone was shocked, and Cai Jing and He Zhizhong couldn't help but feel a big headache. Because of this old mallet, he will never be able to learn well, pig teammates, it is estimated that he has begun to attack in an all-out manner again, and it seems that he has taken a lot of bites, but it is actually distracting the emperor's attention.
Sure enough, when Zhang Kegong opened his mouth, Zhao Ji had a headache, and forgot He Zhizhong's words, Zhao Ji just frowned and said, "Say it...... I can't stop you from talking here. ”
Zhang Kegong said: "The old minister got the news that Gao Fangping connived at the fugitives, violated the national law, and gathered a large number of fugitives outside the city, and the public order was chaotic. This move is absolutely not tolerated and will put great pressure on the security of the city. In addition, in addition to conniving at fugitives to evade the imperial court's taxes and fees, Gao Fangping also neglected his duties, and was nominally on behalf of His Majesty to know that the Yongle Army was guarding Shuibo, and now there is news that the Shuibo force has begun to grow, but Gao Fangping knows that the Yongle Army has always sat back and ignored it, and has not started a decisive battle with the thieves. It has the trust of His Majesty and the role of the Royal Yongle Army. Even the old minister thinks that he can be punished for his high and calm heart, and judging from the situation of vigorously conniving at fugitives and thieves, his loyalty can already be questioned. ”
Uncle Zhang's color changed at night, and even Cai Jing's color changed.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Kegong was so stupid that he began to question the status and loyalty of Dr. Wenchen without substantial evidence. This may be normal in other dynasties, but the Great Song Dynasty did not have such a precedent.
In fact, in Cai Jing's thinking, it is the problem that Gao Fangping really has loyalty, and he can't use this problem to make a fuss, and he must rectify it for other reasons. Because this is basically a destruction of the tone of the Great Song Dynasty that "scholars and officials share the world". At that time, in Zhang Huaisu's case, Zhang Kangguo's behavior was a capital crime for the people of the Lian clan in any dynasty, but in the end, it only made him quit and say goodbye. It's all about maintaining the tone and tradition.
After hearing this, Zhao Ji was furious, and even forgot about the other issues of impeaching Gao Fangping, and said very unhappily: "Zhang Kegong, don't exaggerate, Gao Yu served me loyally when he was still in Duanwangfu, and his son Xiao Gao also did many things that others can't do. Of course, because of his youth and arrogance, he has had some problems and missed some things, and he has offended many people in order to do things for me. Although you can speak without evidence, you can't go to the point of reversing black and white? The Gao family is loyal to me and is not allowed to be tarnished at will. I'm sparing you one last time, and you shut me up. ”
Zhang Kegong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, scratched his head and returned to the queue, very depressed, and didn't know what was wrong? That's what Zhang Kegong thinks, so he said so, why Mao won't let me speak? According to the past practice, he Gao Fangping was brave and good at fighting, and led the Yongle army to guard Shuibo, so he should quickly fight a decisive battle after finding out the situation and reduce the tumor to prevent the tumor from growing.
In fact, Zhang Kegong did think that Xiao Gao had a problem, and he could use the reason that "he had just arrived in office, did not know the situation, and should not rush to send troops", but now that kid has been in office for more than half a year, there is news that the water is constantly getting bigger, but he Xiao Gao is stunned that he will not send troops to encircle and suppress, on the contrary, he frantically connived at evasion and tax evasion, subverting the inherent national policy.
Now Zhang Kegong has the heart to die, if it weren't for the current chaos, he would be taken back by his brother Uncle Zhang to hang up and serve in the family law, and he really wanted to die in the court to express his determination. Fuck Pork Ping, that kind of traitor has the courage to threaten to hit the wall in the Privy Council, don't I Zhang Kegong dare? (To be continued.) )
