Volume 1: The Great Song Fengyun Chapter 093: Resisting the Enemy (5)
However, Kou Zhun was appointed by the first emperor to participate in political affairs, and Li Xin, Wang Dan, and Bi Shi'an, these ministers, recommended him to be the governor of Tongping.
Although Zhenzong had a lot of complaints about Kou Zhun as the prime minister, he had to submit to the face of the first emperor and his ministers; The problem is that after Kou Zhun became the ruling minister, he always forced Zhenzong to do what he didn't want to do, and Zhenzong didn't like it in his heart; I even feel that Wang Qinruo is loyal and easy to use.
In this way, there was a situation of confrontation between the two parties in the court, like the later parliamentary state fighting in the legislative Yuan; Over time, the imperial court formed a dispute between the northern faction and the southern faction, and the two factions were like fire and water, which made the Song Dynasty, a country with a glorious economy, in crisis.
The northern faction and the southern faction are bounded by the Yangtze River, the ministers in the north are the northern faction, and the southern faction is the southern faction.
Kou Zhun is the leader of the northern faction, and Wang Qinruo is naturally the leader of the southern faction; This situation continued until the fall of the Song Dynasty, and even had an impact on the later Ming and Qing regimes.
The dispute between the new party and the old party in Wang Anshi's reform was a big fight between the southern and northern factions, and the emperor was caught in the middle and it was difficult to be a man; This is all the evil fruit planted by the Song Zhenzong Dynasty.
Song Zhenzong was the same stinky chess basket as his father Song Taizong, Song Taizong sat in the palace and drew the "Ten Thousand Arrays" to command the army to fight against the Liao State and the Western Xia State, laying the foundation for the Song army's fiasco.
Song Zhenzong knew that Wang Qin was a traitor, but he trusted him in every way, and opened a precedent for the incompatibility between the northern and southern factions of the Song court.
Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong father and son colluded to send a glorious Song Dynasty into the garbage heap of history, leaving no China after the Song Dynasty; There is no millennium regret in China after Yashan.
Wang Qinruo, a treacherous person, does not have courage and wisdom, and listens to Wang Yan, the son of the moth, who will say that Sister-in-law Hong is a Khitan spy; One moment said that it was the robber ringing the horse, and the other said that she had a good face and made herself a daughter-in-law after being captured...... couldn't help but turn blue with anger, and I couldn't wait to step forward and give this unfilial son a kick.
Wang Qinruo was angry for a while, then suppressed the fire and cursed: "Wang Yan, you don't open your eyes, there are so many palace ladies and singers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't need it, why do you personally pick up a reckless woman who beats you all over the ground looking for teeth?" Do you know where she came from, is she really a Khitan spy or a robber Xiangma......"
Wang Yan knelt down and said, "Daddy, you don't know, if you can let a strong woman be a wife to the child, then the child will not need to bring an entourage when he goes out in the future; That woman will be able to keep the child safe......"
Before he could say anything, he saw the guards of the forbidden army carrying Liang Dafa and the dried chicken head into the door.
Wang Yan was stunned and asked the forbidden soldier who was carrying it, "What's going on?" Didn't you catch the strong woman......"
"Catch a spicy bastard!" A six-foot-tall soldier of the forbidden army said: "We can live to bring Liang Du's head back to Amitabha, what do you say to catch people!" ”
Wang Qinruo seemed to understand something when he heard the six-foot forbidden army say this, and asked in surprise: "What is the origin of this woman!"
Another red-faced forbidden soldier said: "Xiangye, when we came back with Liang Du's head, we saw that woman going towards Kou Xiangye's mansion!"
"Kou Laoxi! It turns out that Kou Laoxi harbored Khitan spies? Wang Qinruo exclaimed in surprise, and immediately said to his family Ding Fuyong: "Fuyong, you should go to Kou Laoxi's mansion immediately to find out, if the unknown woman is really in Kou Zhun's mansion; The cabinet immediately went to the ......"
Kou Zhun and Qin Shi Huang rode back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and entered the door; Qin Shi Huang was stunned by the shabby in the courtyard, and couldn't help but turn to Kou Zhun and said, "Kou Laoxi, why are you pretending to be poor?" Can this place be called the Prime Minister's Mansion? You see, the house is twisted upside down, which looks like the mansion of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty? It's reasonable to use it as a flower nest......"
Kou Zhun heard Qin Shi Huang say this, handed the reins of the two horses to the family courtyard who came to greet him, Geng Zhong laughed and said, "Your Majesty! No, no, no, Brother Qin Ying, this Prime Minister's Mansion is leased to someone else; Of course it looks like it's called Hanakowo! ”
"What?" Qin Shi Huang cried: "Your Prime Minister's Mansion is leased!" ”
Qin Shi Huang stared at Kou Zhun, helped Ah Fang Ding Qin Jian hanging from his waist, pointed at him with his finger and said, "Kou Laoxi, what are you pretending to be poor. Force? Who doesn't know that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was the highest-paid first-class official on the planet, and he couldn't afford to buy a rented place to live in the prime minister's mansion for thousands of yuan a year? ”
Kou Zhun helplessly spread his hands and sneered: "Brother Qin doesn't believe Kou Zhun's words, then there is no way for the lower officials!" ”
Qin Shi Huang frowned and fixed his head: "How can a widow believe your words? The widow stayed in the mausoleum in Lintong for more than 2,000 years, witnessing the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang and the Tang Dynasty established by Li Yuan; I was also angry to see Yi Di messing with my China and killing my compatriots, and those sisters were used as food by Yi Di to satisfy their hunger; Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”
After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "The Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin has changed the situation of Xiao Shu's ghosts singing in the previous dynasty, and the economy is unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful; But it is a pity that the military surplus is far-fetched and the country is destroyed. It caused a tragic situation that there was no China after the Song Dynasty and no civilization after Yashan. Although the widow is in the mausoleum, he has always longed for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty; was reborn under the inspiration of Zheng Shuangyu's butterfly, but Kou Laoxi, your pretending style made Qin very angry! ”
Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was telling the truth, Kou Zhun bowed and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, no, Brother Qin, you have misunderstood!" The old man's salary is frighteningly high, but after settling the accounts for you, you will know that Kou Zhun is actually so poor that he is scum, not pretending! ”
Kou Zhun said and stretched his neck and throat and said: "Kou Zhun's monthly salary is 400 yuan, plus the allowance and subsidy of the imperial court; There's nothing wrong with getting 500 a month. 500 guan a month is 6,000 guan a year, but more than 100 people in the prime minister's mansion eat and drink Lazar all have to be paid from the income of the lower officials; A servant spends 5 per month for 10 people, 50 for 100 people, 500 for 100 people, and 6,000 per year; There are other miscellaneous expenses, so that 6,000 yuan a year is not enough to maintain life. had to compress the salaries of his subordinates, and each servant received less than 5 yuan a month; There are always two and three through. In this way, where does Kou Zhun have the money to buy a house? ”
After Kou Zhun finished calculating this account, Qin Shi Huang's eyes widened like cowbells; His brows curled into a pimple and he muttered silently: Kou Laoxi calculates this, and the monthly salary of 500 yuan really can't maintain the expenses of the 100 or so people in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Qin Shi Huang has lived through the twenty-first century—he has always been sober in the Qin Tombs—the twenty-first level is a great opportunity for the Chinese nation to flourish, but the Song Dynasty has always had money of one or two silver; One tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in 21st century China, 500 guan is 500,000 yuan, and 6,000 guan a year is 6 million yuan.
Kou Laoxi's income is very expensive, and the problem is that he has to pay for the salaries of the prime minister's subordinates; This is a world away from the 21st century.
Qin Shi Huang hibernated in the mausoleum in Lintong for more than 2,000 years; There are many things to see, the Qing Dynasty ruled by the Manchus is so harsh, and there is also a saying that the Qing prefect has 100,000 snowflakes of silver in three years, and Kou Laoxi is the prime minister of the emperor of the third dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty; It was so honest that he couldn't even afford a house.
The Song Dynasty was a society with rapid economic development, and the successive prime ministers after Kou Zhun had never been as poor as him; In particular, Cai Jing, the zaifu of the Zhao Ji Dynasty of Song Huizong, was even more greedy, which directly led to the demise of the dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was first destroyed by the Jurchens who rose in the northeast, and the Southern Song Dynasty established by Zhao was destroyed by the descendants of Genghis Khan.
It's a pity that he couldn't be reborn without Zheng Shuang's jade butterfly at that time, and watched the dynasty established by his descendants die out in the smoke and fog.
In 740 after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang was reborn under the call of Zheng Shuangyu's butterfly; It turned out that in the first year of Jingde of the Song Dynasty in 1004, the original history could still be rewritten.
The rewritten history can no longer reshow the humiliation of China, but must be reborn from the humiliating era of the phoenix nirvana; Build the glory of the Chinese nation.
During the Song Dynasty, the Chinese nation did not fall and was not destroyed by the backward and barbaric Jurchens and Mongols; There will never be a situation where the people of the Central Plains will be bullied and slaughtered like lambs, and there will never be a Manchu Tartar who will make the country poor and weak; Hit by this today, beaten by that tomorrow; If someone beats you, you have to pay the money and cede the land......
Qin Shi Huang was in a reverie in the south and north of the world, and saw Hong's sister-in-law, Zhang Huan, and Hong Huang trotting into the prime minister's mansion like the wind.
Kou Zhun saw Zhang Huan and said, "Zhang Huan, go to the council hall and tell me the news you brought back from the old General Xue in Xianghewan!" ”
Zhang Huan shouted: "Xiangye, after you and the Qin officials rode away, Sister Leng had a fight with the head of the forbidden army...
