Chapter 931: There Are Pill Parties Everywhere
After seeing Su Zhe, Gao Fangping was quite moved. The old man actually fooled me and asked me to sacrifice Xiao Gao at the risk, so it's just teaching people to sell household registration books, okay? I am only allowed to fool people like this, and no one can fool me like this.
This is really too demanding, but he has been an official all his life, so he began to pretend to be forced. However, I was only in my twenties, so he instigated me to offend Zhao Ji. After offending Zhao Ji, he can still be an official, but if he thinks that he is addicted to the prime minister, he will at least wait until Zhao Huan ascends the throne.
So in fact, Gao Fangping's anger is really not heavy now, and some problems can be controlled, even if they can't be solved in the Huizong Dynasty, it doesn't mean that they can't be solved in the Zhao Huan era.
Gao Fangping asked himself, he has been too hateful now, and he has done enough, and it is not a bad thing to rest.
The second year of Zhenghe is really a wonderful year. At the beginning of this year in history, not only did the situation in Liao deteriorate significantly, but the economic and political situation within the Great Song Dynasty also began to deteriorate.
First of all, Cai Jing's evil government tin money pushed the last breath of vitality of the Northern Song Dynasty into the abyss.
Secondly, Cai Jing in history pretended to be forced again this year and vigorously reformed the official system. His original intention of reforming control was to seize power, because the country's life was not easy, and the prime minister's work would not be easy, so naturally more and more people disobeyed him. Then the rule of the Great Song Dynasty is not to deprive officials of their jobs, that is, the original officials cannot be moved. As a result, they continued to set up various leading groups, followed the old path of Great Song Dynasty politics, and set aside the original bureaucracy and bureaucracy.
Yes, the previous council was Cai Jing's attempt.
After the official system was reformed on a large scale, and there was a new official position for Lao Cai's descendants, the original ones were still there, so the redundant officials were increased, and the burden on the finances and the common people was increased. This is really worse, and the foundation of Cai Jing and his old leader Wang Anshi has been completely consumed.
Every time there is a reform, the rest of the groups with ulterior motives will be used to fish in troubled waters. Then in the second year of Zhenghe, Cai Jing's official reform in history was obviously used by Taoist priests, so there was a painful matter in the history of this reform, and Taoist officials were also ranked among the imperial products.
It can be seen that Lao Cai's control is poor, and in order to seize power, he can be regarded as luring wolves into the house. The Taoist priest is the promoter of Lao Cai's reform.
What does the so-called "Taoist non-commissioned officer rank in the court" mean? It means that the Taoist priests before the Northern Song Dynasty were already considered officials, but that was not formal, just unspoken rules, but Cai Jing's reform, the official position of the Taoist priest officially entered the system, and the roster of the Taoist priest officially entered the Ministry of Officials in addition to the Ministry of Rites. As soon as this came, there was the matter of Lin Lingsu walking in the temple later.
So what is the harm of Taoist priests after entering the system? The harm is similar to the Thousand Dao Conference, the basic Taoist priests in the palace and the capital dominate the world, and then hold a pyramid scheme every day to preach the scriptures to fool the emperor and the people.
Then in the third year of Zhenghe, that is, next year, Zhao Ji said that he dreamed of Taishang Laojun, and he should revitalize Taoism in a big way, and then he not only proclaimed himself the emperor of Daojun, but also issued an imperial order to summon the world's strange people (Taoists) into Beijing, that is, the beginning of the concentration of the bull ghosts, snakes and gods in Beijing.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called day has thoughts, and nights have dreams. In later generations, Gao Fangping played a lot of games, and he would also dream of playing games, and even dreamed of becoming a game character. So Zhao Ji's dream of Taishang Laojun must be true, but that can't explain anything, it only shows that under the situation at that time, a group of Taoist priests in the imperial city were brainwashing every day, and Zhao Ji believed these things and threw himself into it.
But all these moths have now been pressed to death by Gao Fangping.
Because Gao Fangping's strength was unstoppable, Cai Jing gave up struggling and let go of politics. Since he plans to retire safely, of course he will not continue to toss all kinds of money policies and various official reforms. Since he doesn't toss and doesn't do well, of course Lao Cai will not be used by Taoist priests. This is called desirelessness and rigidity.
In this climate, although the Taoist priest entered Beijing in another way, he was also hung up by Gao Fangping and smoked and rushed back to his hometown Jiangnan.
So Gao Fangping felt that Su Zhe was too demanding, and my Great Demon King had actually tried his best and had already done a lot. You can't ask Lao Tzu to make a big move without shuffling the cards.
Otherwise, three years after the strange political peace in history, the people's livelihood and political situation in the Great Song Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Liao State further lost control. And Zhenghe's second year of the heart of the flesh thorn of Ah Guta, coincided with the death of Zhenghe's third brother Wu Yashu, and Ah Guda came to the forefront.
Therefore, when the Liao and Song dynasties accelerated erosion, Aguta accelerated the annexation of the surrounding areas and officially began the pace of extensive grain accumulation.
This is true, Aguta is really eloquent, as a barbarian, after he took over as the Jurchen Festival envoy, in addition to training troops, accelerating horse herding, but also leading the group of fishing and hunting people to carry out agricultural accumulation, this is really where he hangs. This was the transformation of the Jurchen productivity at that time, and its significance was actually the same as the nature of Gao Fangping's transformation from agriculture to industrialization in the Great Song Dynasty.
In fact, the success of any war is the success of the productive forces, and those who have the ability to subvert the tradition and carry out the evolution of the productive forces must be leaders. At this point, Aguta is a successful person.
However, those are history, and now it is Gao Fangping's romance, and the question about the Liao State and Jurchen has also been preliminarily suppressed by Gao Fangping. At present, even if the world is in chaos, the degree and intensity are limited.
Just when Gao Fangping was saying that Lao Su was too demanding and my big demon king's official addiction was not enough, bad news suddenly came: Su Zhe died of illness on the way.
No wonder he left in such a hurry, and he didn't even want to say goodbye to the emperor, he really knew that his life was not long. So this time he only arrived in Chenliu, and Lao Su was gone.
When the sergeant of the forbidden army who accompanied Su Zhe and hurried back to Gao Fangping, Gao Fangping asked that Lao Su's body be sent to Bianjing to hold a national ceremony and mourn.
Then reassured Lao Su's family, don't worry, after completing the procedure, his body will be taken to Sichuan by Gao Fang to be buried.
Su Zhe offended a lot of people during his lifetime, and even few colleagues from the household department came. The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials have come through the procedures.
Lao Cai didn't like Su Zhe, but he still sent a garland, but Zhao Ji didn't come, and he also sent a garland plus a posthumous seal.
The "Bianjing Times", which has been rectified, reported in a lazy tone: The privy envoy Zhang Shuye, the Chinese scholar Liang Zimei, and Gao Fangping attended the memorial service together.
Later, Zhang Shangying, who loves face, chased after the "Bianjing Times" to rectify it, and asked, "Are you blind, who reviewed the draft, and why didn't I have my name when I Zhang Shangying also attended."
Sweat. The Bianjing Times was scolded by Lao Zhang, and everyone only reported the names of the Standing Committee members, and the others were classified as "accompanying officials." This is determined by the layout, otherwise when the names of the officials are written, there will be no place to write anything else.
Feeling the pressure of Lao Zhang's disaster to the country and the people, the Bianjing Times went to the new Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu Zhengfu for help, but Liu Zhengfu loved face more, and thought that my old Liu also went to the memorial service, which shows that it is necessary to follow the political footsteps of Zhang Shuye and Gao Fangping, but you turtle grandchildren dare to selectively classify the name of my old Liu Dad as an "accompanying official".
So Lao Liu criticized them more fiercely than Zhang Shangying, stipulating: In the future, in addition to the Standing Committee, the names of the heads of ministries and commissions also need to be listed, and they are not allowed to be vague.
As a result, the new rules of the Bianjing Times were formed.
However, Li Qingzhao, who returned to work in the Bianjing Times, liked to work against his own newspaper the most, and wrote a column to satirize Liu Zhengfu.
This is good, Li Qingzhao was invited to tea by Empress Dowager Liu, and Zhang Shangying didn't dare to rescue her. In the end, it was Gao Fangping who cheekily went to the palace to fish out Li Qingzhao, and was forced by Liu Qingjing to tease in the corner for this reason.
In short, for the sake of justice, the sacrifice of the Great Demon King is quite large. In the future, whoever dares to say that my dedication and sacrifice are not enough, will be in a hurry......
It seems that God wants to reflect Su Zhe's death.
On this side, Su Zhe's memorial service has just ended, and on the other side, the Liao envoys who are on the way to visit are also out of the moth. A fast horse envoy from the Liao State came to Bianjing to deliver a letter: Ye Luyan, the governor of the Northern Mansion of the Great Liao State and the deputy privy envoy of the Northern Mansion who was appointed by the Liao Emperor and visited with Empress Xiao, died of illness on the road.
In history, he didn't go on the road until next year, but he didn't expect to die this year. Because of the old Yelu, he felt lonely, and after hearing the news of the death of his old friend Su Zhe on the way, he was in the mentality of "things are not people", so Yelu Yan also went.
Yes, Lao Yelu is not only a friend of Su Shi and Su Zhe, but also a lifelong literary friend.
This time, Yelu Yan accompanied Empress Xiao as an envoy, and in the internal politics of Liao, it was understood that in order to supervise Xiao's Lilan's behavior, the Liao bureaucrats thought that the old Yelu was afraid that Xiao's Lilan would lose power and humiliate the country, so Yelu Yan dragged his sick body, relied on the old and betrayed the old, and asked Emperor Tianzuo to send an envoy together.
Emperor Tianzuo really has no way to deal with him, although this guy is a Han Chinese, he is an uncle-like existence, and Emperor Daozong personally appointed the auxiliary minister to take care of his life, so even if this move seems to be a little unkind to the queen and the Xiao family, he has to agree to Yelu Yan to accompany the envoy.
In fact, everyone thinks too much, to this day, Lao Yelu has no influence in politics, and he can't control the terminal illness of Liao, he has only one intention to send an envoy with Empress Xiao: he knows that his health is getting worse and worse, as a Han person, he wants to come to the Southern Dynasty to take a look at it at the end, and by the way to meet his old friends who are still alive.
These are the contents of Xiao's Lilan's private letter to Gao Fangping, strictly speaking, the Xiao family and Yeluyan are political enemies, but Xiao's Lilan plans to pretend to be forced in this matter, so he hopes that Gao Fangping will help and hold a grand ceremony for Yeluyan in Bianjing as an ally and as the orthodox identity of the Han family.
This is simply sleepy and met the pillow, Gao Fangping replied to Xiao's Lilan: It's no problem at all, wrap it on me.
Damn, this is another dirty act, Xiao's Lilan came to this hand, in addition to showing generosity, he also wanted to borrow this similar thing of "recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors" to completely deny Li Yan's life and exclude him from the core political circle of Liao.
In addition to being Lao Xiao's means of attacking political opponents, this is also very important for Xiao's Lilan. Because of the existence of Yeluyan, the Han people of Liao entered the core political circle and ruled the Liao State together. So people are selfish, and the Xiao family, as the "children of the Eight Banners" of the Liao State, is naturally unaccustomed to seeing this issue. Of course, the Xiao people did not want the Han people to enter the core political circle of the Khitan.
So Empress Xiao planned to take advantage of this event to let Lao Yelu's praise be held in Bianjing, the authentic sect of the Han people.
This seems to be a rite of rights, but in fact it has political significance within the Liao State, and after everyone sees Yeluyan's "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors", they will naturally have a certain degree of guard against the Han people, restrain the Han officials, and exclude them from the inner circle. In this way, of course, the Xiao people got a larger share of politics.
This is also good for Gao Fangping. Once the Han officials are excluded from the core political circle of Liao, to a certain extent, the political status of Han people in Liaoguo will also decline. Then, Yanjing, the place with the most serious sinicization, will further weaken the sense of belonging to the Liao State. So this is one of the fuses for Gao Fangping's future plot against the land of Yanyun.
Hehe, Gao Fangping and their Xiao family are political allies, both parties are political strongmen, and they will exchange political interests countless times, but after all, one is the leading party. In the end, whether Gao Fangping is the Song State Leading the Way Party, or the Xiao family is the Liao State Leading the Way Party, it may not take ten years to find out.
But now I don't know who wins and who loses, because both countries have a large group of pill parties, and the pill party of the Song State curses pork flat pills all day long, and everything can be set up as "the Great Song Dynasty is afraid to become the biggest loser". For example, a while ago, when a hot air balloon flew into the sky, someone said, "The hot air balloon flew into the sky, and the Great Song Dynasty may become the biggest loser, because this technology will eventually be refrigerated by the Great Song Dynasty and used by the Liao State for military purposes, so the Song State will lose."
"The first voyage of the 10,000-ton ship, the Great Song Dynasty may become the biggest loser."
"The second-generation steam engine was successfully loaded and tested, and the Great Song Dynasty may become the biggest loser." In short, just like Niu Minghu Shi, these guys can really make up smooth and valid logic.
The same is true of the Liao State, where a large group of pill parties say that the air in the Song State is fresher than that in the Liao State all day long. The only difference is that they don't dare to scold Lao Xiao, because Lao Xiao will harmonize them. Although Pork Ping in the Great Song Dynasty is also stable, his temper is really better than that of Lao Xiao.
So Xiao's Lilan Niangniang is very powerful this time, and the gifts she brought to Xiao Gao are really rich. It's not in vain that Gao Fangping sent her a panda head.
The bad thing is that Lao Yelu is a respectable person like Su Zhe, and it seems that it is not authentic to use an old man who has passed away in this way.
Now Gao Fangping finally waited for Xiao's Lilan to enter Bianjing, and when he saw her, he went on the road to take up his post.
However, before Xiao's Lilan entered Bianjing, Cai Jing, as the prime minister, came to the letter and asked Gao Fangping to go to Zhongshu to attend a meeting, saying that it was to re-demonstrate the feasibility of the railway.
In things that have basically set the tone, such words don't need to listen to the meeting, Gao Fangping also knows, and she is a moth to her mother.
When they came to the middle hall, they gathered together the officials and attachés of various ministries, nearly fifty officials of the middle hall, and it seemed that they had been lively for a while.
