Chapter 945: The old slippery head who pretends to be loyal
When he came to Shi Wenbin's house, he sat upright in the study, and it seemed that he was waiting for Gao Fangping, of course, Shi Jingjie's kid colluded with his father and deliberately pretended to be loyal.
"Xiaguan Shi Wenbin, see Ming Mansion." Shi Wenbin left the main seat and sat in the guest seat with Gao Fangping.
"Tell me what you're thinking." Gao Fangping Road.
Sweat.
Shi Wenbin glanced at it and wondered, this thing is just a feeling, how can it really be explained. Anyway, I didn't say that I was going to resign and threaten the imperial court, I just put the official seal over there and didn't go today, which can be explained in many ways.
Seeing that he lowered his head, with a gentle but soft confrontational attitude, Gao Fangping had a headache, "Okay, you don't say I'll talk about it." You Shi Wenbin was thinking, I, Gao Fangping, have been impulsive and angry since I took office in Yuncheng, and you have a preconceived impression of me. With your character, you don't want to be anyone's lackey. This is especially true for me. Because you used to be my old leader, and now your role has changed, coupled with your conservative thinking, it is difficult to accept it for a while. ”
These words were in Shi Wenbin's heart, but he continued to keep his head down, not denying or admitting it.
Gao Fangping continued: "In addition, from your point of view, you think that our Zhongtang is too unparticular about this struggle, although there is evidence, but the logic is full of contradictions and vague words, and the incident is inexplicable. You Shi Wenbin used to be the head of a state, and the elder Shi Yan also served as a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, so you are a 'professional' with experience both politically and judicially, and now it is full of loopholes in logic, plus Zheng Juzhong is in an important position, and he is also a relative of the emperor. So if you don't know the inside story, you will regard this incident as the most serious persecution of the Great Song Dynasty, or even a great rebellion against the royal family, right? ”
Shi Wenbin's cheeks twitched slightly, and he was basically told by Gao Fangping. Now Shi Wenbin suddenly felt that Gao Fangping was a very good politician, he knew everything, and since he understood, he knew what he was doing, so he couldn't talk about doing nonsense.
Shi Wenbin said in a low voice: "Mingfu is the most shrewd and foolish person I have ever met, Jingjie's admiration for you as a child is deep-rooted, I never understood it before, but now I understand." ”
Gao Fangping said: "You guy is bad and is working against me, and at the same time you carry Shi Jingjie out, talking about me and his encounter, you don't want to offend me to death, right?" ”
Shi Wenbin had this meaning, but it wasn't all, so the old man blushed slightly and lowered his head again, and didn't speak.
Gao Fangping was very unhappy with his soft confrontation, and he didn't want to press too hard, so he changed the topic and said: "Let's talk about something else, you have a certain prejudice against me, you are still worried about the end of your son following me, right?" ”
Shi Wenbin shook his head and said: "This point is too much for the Ming Mansion, I do have some reservations about your political opinions, but Shi Jingjie is not me, he is an adult, as the head of one party, he has his own set, has his own practice, and has made some achievements, of course he can have his political opinions." This is also the precious place of my Great Song - tolerance. Differing political views are allowed to exist without being at war with each other. You have to understand that political strife is different from party strife, and it should be accepted. ”
Gao Fangping said: "Of course I know the difference between political struggle and party struggle. Then he looked like he had caught him, pointed to his nose and said, "You finally showed your ass." The reason why you have not taken action against Zheng Juzhong for a long time is that you are afraid that this is not an investigation of corruption, not a political dispute, but a party dispute and a serious persecution incident. In the case that you don't know the inside story, I am close to the queen's family, and Zheng Juzhong is the brother of the favorite concubine Zheng, you are afraid of getting involved in some palace royal struggles that are unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty. Since then, I am almost a word now, and I have many illegal transfers of troops, so the problem of Zheng Juzhong, who is in an important position in the Privy Council, is even more serious by you. You Shi Wenbin even looked at the security of the Great Song Dynasty and the royal security, and wanted to keep a person who opposed me in the Privy Council, right? ”
Shi Wenbin sweated on his forehead! said that he really had some such meaning in his heart, of course, Gao Fangping exaggerated and explicit when he said it.
So Shi Wenbin lowered his head again, unable to deny it, but he didn't want to admit it.
Gao Fangping continued: "Again. Regarding the case of the Taoist priest in the capital, Lin Lingsu was driven away, and then Lin Ling was given up by our old treacherous and cunning Zhongtang, and then took the blame, you must have seen it in your eyes and ate it thoroughly. You don't want to be anyone's lackey, and you're worried about being my lackey in this incident, after overturning Zheng Juzhong, it was you who offended the emperor and Zheng Guifei, and then you stepped down and even fell into disrepute, right? ”
I'm @#¥
Shi Wenbin really had this meaning, but he was exaggerated by what the Great Demon King said. It's hard to deny it, and continue to keep your head down and not admit it.
Gao Fangping said: "Old leader, uncle, why don't you say something for me to hear?" ”
Shi Wenbin said embarrassedly: "To paraphrase the famous words of the Ming Mansion when you were in Yuncheng: I am the emperor and the courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have my own opinions on things, and I am not anyone's lackey." ”
“?” Gao Fangping was depressed for a while. Helplessly, he was his direct subordinate in Yuncheng at that time, and Gao Fangping also topped him like this.
Depressed for a while, Gao Fangping said: "Forget that I'm here, otherwise there will be a lot of misunderstandings between us, and we must talk about it." Let's have an effective conversation tonight. ”
Shi Wenbin rolled his eyes and thought, how dare I communicate with you about some things, you have such a big temper and brain, and you are angry and impulsive.
Immediately after, Gao Fangping recalled: "If you want to think that when I was young and frivolous, I had just arrived in Yuncheng as an official, and I said a lot of crazy words, and you said to me, 'Words can be said, this is the rule of the Great Song Dynasty'." I have always kept this in my heart, and now I will return it to you, and speak openly, and I promise that my words tonight will not offend anyone, and will have no effect. ”
"Keming Mansion has had many bad deeds of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and talking is not counted." Shi Wenbin said embarrassedly.
“……”
Thinking about it, it seems that the reputation is too bad, so Gao Fangping quibbled: "But you also have to realize that I have to do whatever I say to someone, and I will do it to a gentleman." Trust your son's judgment, he is not a fool, he is willing to follow in my footsteps, has his own understanding, he thinks I am valuable. ”
Shi Wenbin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, the lower official will believe the Ming Mansion this time." He added: "You are right, the points you just mentioned, the lower officials have a certain degree of worry. From the perspective of the officials of the Criminal Department, starting from the Great Song Dynasty and judging from the evidence submitted by the Southeast Department, Zheng Juzhong can certainly be arrested and convicted. But where is this degree? Zheng Juzhong's incident is by no means an exception, to put it bluntly, it is corruption. Of course, corruption is wrong, but this is the political climate formed by me since the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the tacit unspoken rules, not his fault alone, but a historical problem accumulated over a hundred years. The idea of making great efforts to govern is certainly valuable, but in the case that no one else is guilty, only treating his uncle Zheng Juzhong like this is his responsibility, what is the fairness? Therefore, this is the reason why the lower officials have recognized the judicial charge, but the political situation is still up for debate. ”
Gao Fangping nodded and said, "Next, your worries are far more than that. ”
Shi Wenbin said: "Yes, the following is the main topic. This precedent was set to a certain extent, although the national law was implemented, but it ruined the political environment that has always been relaxed in our Great Song Dynasty. Zheng Juzhong's behavior is of course a crime, it depends on where the degree is, if you can't control the degree, it means that the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty is lost, in the environment where most officials are corrupt, the political sequelae brought about by it should not be underestimated, and it will even lead to a group of people jumping over the wall. So do you think the Ming Mansion was still safe at that time? Will it bring the whole environment into chaos? What's more, I am worried that this is the beginning of the persecution of the party, and now that most officials have economic problems, if Zheng Juzhong is convicted of a serious crime with this honor, will this form the beginning of 'powerful ministers blackmail the officials of the world, and close to cover the sky with one hand, and subvert the government'? ”
Gao Fangping sighed, he really bit here.
Shi Wenbin didn't say it directly, but the meaning was obvious, under the premise that Gao Fangping's reputation was not good, Shi Wenbin beware: Gao Fangping was the one who used the "Hundred Officials' Observations" to coerce and subvert the world.
In fact, Shi Wenbin is thinking too much at this point, even if Gao Fangping wants to subvert, there are obviously other better means.
Because Gao Fangping's achievements and rights were not obtained by conspiracy, but by another route. But theoretically, there is some truth in his worries, which is the characteristic of these stubborn conservatives: the system that has run mature and stable definitely does not want to change easily, even if there are many flaws, they think it can be controlled, but after it becomes strange and uncontrolled, they will be careful to change.
Gao Fangping touched his chin and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. But damn you, you think so badly of me as a loyal and brave person, which makes my mind very incomprehensible! ”
Shi Wenbin hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The Ming Mansion has gone too far, the lower officials are not referring to you, but to set this precedent, after causing the soil where the scholars will die due to this problem, it will lead to a great change in the political climate of my Great Song Dynasty, what will other ministers do at that time?" Do you still want the rules of your ancestors? Have you seriously thought about the Ming Mansion, when you personally investigated and handled the Zhang Huaisu case, at the last moment, "Records of Hundred Officials" was so beneficial to Cai Jing, why did he also burn it? The essence lies in the fact that with these things, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer the Great Song Dynasty. So once Zheng Juzhong dies because of this problem, when most of the officials in the world are corrupt, it is another record of the views of hundreds of officials, and it cannot be burned. ”
"So what's the conclusion?" Gao Fangping looked at him with ill will.
"The conclusion is ......" Shi Wenbin said embarrassedly: "Zheng Juzhong can't raid his house because of this problem, this is the suggestion given by my criminal department according to the will of Emperor Taizu and the unspoken rules of the ancestors." If you want to kill Zheng Juzhong, you must tell me the inside story, unless there is a heinous crime, the Criminal Department will not violate the rules of the Great Song Dynasty to investigate Zheng Juzhong. ”
Gao Fangping knocked on the table and said: "The reason why I didn't tell you the reason is that you also said it just now, but you can't say it, because if it is announced, it can also change the environment of the Great Song Dynasty and change the emperor's mentality." Shi Wenbin, you believe me, the sequelae is more serious than you using the copper mine to kill Zheng Juzhong. Once you understand, of course you have to announce the verdict of the Criminal Department. So I don't allow it, and neither do the other ministers. ”
Shi Wenbin shook his head and said: "Then the lower officials uphold the recommendation of the Criminal Department, and it is not appropriate to re-handle Zheng Juzhong." Because the concubines in the harem are competing for favor and the princes are growing up, I can't confirm whether this is a link where some people use the official weapons of the court to do dirty things. In the history of all dynasties, the royal court is bloody and dark, we need to learn from history, this official I can not do it, Zheng Juzhong embezzled copper mines, but I never want the Great Song Dynasty to become strange. ”
Gao Fangping stared at him for a while, Shi Wenbin was still softly confrontational, and lowered his head with his eyes away, but he just didn't let go.
Gao Fangping took a deep breath and got up, stopped when he left, and turned around and said, "In this way, I will leave with confidence." Okay, you Shi Wenbin, I can't confirm for the time being, did you find out my temper through Shi Jingjie and deliberately do what he liked, deliberately trying to win a good name in the history books? ”
Shi Wenbin was very embarrassed, he really had this meaning, it was indeed through his son that he learned about the temper and character of some big demon kings, and he pretended to be a little targeted.
Gao Fangping smiled again and said: "It's okay, if you want to leave a name in history, it's always good to have a steady mind, and people who cherish feathers are relatively trustworthy, because they won't pollute feathers for yellow and white vulgar things." Guys who pay attention to reputation are suspected of hypocrisy, but this kind of self-love behavior is far better than shamelessness. So this criminal department is still in the book, it seems that it belongs to you Shi Wenbin. Without you, I really don't feel at ease to leave the capital. ”
Shi Wenbin paused, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Please tell the Ming Mansion in detail." ”
Gao Fangping said: "I can't say too much. You just need to know that the last time I was in power in Jiangzhou, there was a situation where the queen was placed under house arrest, which almost led to the intervention of the criminal department and the investigation of the queen with a national case. If it really happened, just like you said, Da Song is not Da Song. So at that time, I hesitated on Chang Wei's proposal to take charge of the Criminal Department, I knew that Lao Chang was a good person, but he was not conservative enough and was easy to be taken advantage of. So although I don't like you Shi Wenbin very much, in the end, it is still you who go to the criminal department. For this reason, I offended the old man, and many people said that I crossed the river and demolished the bridge without remembering the old feelings. But that's it, sometimes, I really don't care who is happy and who is not. You Shi Wenbin is so cautious and conservative about Zheng Juzhong's case, I am really relieved, because I know that with you, no one will easily dare to jump out and embarrass the queen's family from the criminal department. ”
Only then did Shi Wenbin understand his intentions, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly chased out of the study and bowed: "The Ming Mansion has good intentions, and it actually used this matter to test the lower officials. The lower officials must live up to their expectations, guard the entrance of the Criminal Department to avoid being used by others, and not to get involved in right and wrong. ”
Gao Fangping stopped again and said, "Actually, you didn't think too much. Theoretically, I really hope that you will raid Zheng Juzhong's house, otherwise how can I understand the thoughts of such a grudgeful person? Of course, your wit is that you didn't let me succeed, otherwise you are right to worry, once Zheng Juzhong is investigated, the emperor is a nostalgic person, and now that he still loves Concubine Zheng, you really pull the royal hatred, and then in order to shake off the pot, I will unite with other Zhongtang, treat you like Lin Yu, and send you to Chengdu to build the railway. ”
I'm @#¥
Shi Wenbin was frightened for a while, and there was no surprise, the old man's wit and worry earlier were reasonable, the Great Demon King was really so dirty.
Gao Fang spread his hands and said: "Don't blame me, officialdom and politics are the same thing." So I'm glad you're a person with bones and doesn't bend your waist casually, this kind of person is rare, so even if it makes me a little unhappy, I need you. So you are not anyone's lackey, but you will continue to guard the door in the capital and take care of the court when my Great Demon King is away. ”
Shi Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what about Zheng Juzhong?" ”
Gao Fangping muttered, "What else can I do? Since you're not stupid and don't be my executioner, you have to find another way to scare him. My rule is that all enemies should be with me, and friends should be kept outside. I will get him to be stared to death, and when I find an opportunity, I will be the executioner myself, and use the power of the court to kill him, and then the bones will be sent back to your criminal department, and you can just add a formality. ”
"You ......"
Shi Wenbin was frightened for a while, and his heart went up and down.
Helplessly, Wen Bin is not his leader, for him as a big demon king, he took the position of prime minister and sentenced to Chengdu Mansion Road, that is indeed the first cut and then the prelude, as long as he can bring Zheng Juzhong into Chengdu Mansion and weaken Zheng Juzhong's official position to a certain extent, under the pretext of a state of emergency, then Zai will really cut off his head and send it back.
As for how to find an excuse to enter a state of war, it is difficult for others, but it is too easy for Gao Fangping, an old driver, and he does it almost everywhere he goes.
Thinking about these processes with a wry smile, Shi Wenbin didn't know what Zheng Juzhong had done, but the most wrong problem in Zheng Juzhong's life was to offend the grudge-holding demon king. Obviously, Zheng Juzhong is dead no matter what this time, and Taishang Laojun may not be able to save him.
Zheng Juzhong's copper mine problem was poked out, which was not a big crime in the Great Song Dynasty for his uncle who was a senior scholar. But no matter how it is poked out, now that the emperor no longer likes him, it is certain that he will be demoted. So at this time, his Great Demon King went to the Ministry to find Zhang Shangying to conspire, and arranged for Zheng Juzhong to enter Chengdu to "calm down", which was a breeze. So the rest is simple.
This is "not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves", the person who is worried about killing by the great demon king, I don't know if he Zheng Juzhong can still sleep?
When he thought of this, Wen Bin gradually became clear: If the Great Demon King hadn't said nonsense, if the Zheng family had really planned to put the queen under house arrest and promote the criminal department to investigate the queen. Then the big demon king deliberately arranged for me to guard the door in Beijing, of course, to prevent a fire in the backyard and prevent the Zheng family from jumping off the wall again.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was chilling to be in this position at the moment......
