Outside the West Gate, after seeing the convoy of protection fees leave, Shi Jingjie sighed: "200,000 taels of silver, I don't know how many Han'er are enough to feed me?" ”

Gao Fangping slapped him on the back of the head and said, "200,000 is also money?" ”

A group of angry youths, except for Shi Jingjie, couldn't help but be furious, staring at Pork Ping, and some wanted to scold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Fang spread his hands and said: "What are you doing looking at me, 200,000 is nothing." If only 200,000 yuan of protection money can be safe, what if I take 200,000 yuan a year to help the country buy services, do you think Lao Tzu can't afford this money? Where is 200,000 so simple, aside from the cost of our army's escort, plus the average annual robbery at least once, here becomes 400,000, plus the pension of the dead Song army, it becomes 600,000. Once the Liao people feel that we are weak and can be bullied, there are incidents of beating grass valleys on the border of Hejian Province all the time, and the wealth of the people will never be accumulated, increasing the burden on the imperial court, and our payment is clearly more than two million! I didn't say two million, but I didn't get the service after paying the money, and we knew that the horse thieves who beat the grass valley were in Yanyun, but we had nothing to do. When the Western Xia barbarians jumped, the Liao people also watched from the wall, is this called protection money? If I had managed the protection fee like this, I would have been poked to death in the backbone. ”

When they asked when Pork Ping would be able to wash away the shame, Gao Fangping said "ten to fifteen years" and left.

This makes people very depressed, with the vigorous and resolute behavior of Pork Ping, they all say that it will take fifteen years, and they feel that they are afraid that the dynasty will not be saved......

There is all kinds of news from the northwest to Beijing.

It seems that Tong Guan is determined to make a good mallet.

He has no positive meaning at all, and it is fundamentally contrary to the overall national policy at the moment. The war in the northwest was initially decided, and it was the time to recuperate and accelerate production and construction, and even Prime Minister Cai Jing set the tone in this way. However, Tong Guan felt that leading troops without fighting was not majestic enough, not to mention continuing to maintain the inherent establishment of the army, but he did not suppress bandits, and led the army to dig holes in the mountains all day long to clear the fleeing households.

There are rumors through the grapevine that the Northwest, which was originally sparsely populated, is now almost ten rooms and six empty, although the original fugitives are illegal, but they are all tacitly contributing to the Northwest Economic Circle as unspoken rules, and now those black households are so frightened that they hide in the deeper mountains, and even flee to the territory of Western Xia.

The problem is quite serious, but there has never been a document from Jingzhao Mansion Zong Ze to impeach Tong Guan into Beijing, which makes it inconvenient for Zhang Shuye, a Chinese scholar, to talk to the emperor at night. Because the news is only folk news, as one of the prime ministers, Zhang Shuye cannot use folk rumors to impeach the generals and favored ministers who lead the troops.

In the imperial history, Zhang Kegong talked to the emperor, but unfortunately this old mallet is the same as the former Zhongshu squire Liu Kui, who spent too much character on irrelevant issues, and it was he who suggested killing the privy envoy, and he was also the one who impeached the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, giving Zhao Ji the impression that this little Lao Zhang is a person who speaks like a fart, and he can't take it seriously, and the impeachment is the most favored Tong Guan, Zhao Ji doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Followed by the official family angry, it seems to be a bit of a child's rebellious character, after Zhang Kegong impeached the favored minister Tong Guan, Zhao Ji played a role, not only did not demean Tong Guan, but on the contrary, issued an order to give Tong Guan the official title to the top: Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.

In this way, the problem was big, and the emperor, under his willfulness, almost opposed the entire class of scholars.

Kaifu Yi and the three divisions are the top of the civil official series, and if Tong Guan's demon eunuch has such an honor, then he will have it.

Then a big incident happened, Zhang Shangying and Zhang Shuye came to the mansion of the political enemy Cai Jing to discuss urgently, and the grapevine said that Zhang Shangying threatened Cai Jing: If you dare to appoint a eunuch, the old man will die in your mansion.

Cai Jing wanted to kill this annoying Zhang Shangying for a long time, but he felt that if you want to die, you can't die in my house, so I heard that Cai Jing, who has been cunning all his life, was really bluffed.

In the end, Cai Jing resisted.

Lao Cai seemed to be a loyal minister, and took off his official hat in the court as the chief executive, and said impassionedly: The old minister has failed His Majesty, and the old minister refused to appoint Tong Guan as the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong, and he dared not take such a thing as a violation of the rules of the ancestors, so change the person who is willing to carry it out.

Gao Fangping wanted to faint when he knew the news. In history, it was indeed a farce in which the emperor promoted Tong Guan into the civil official series, gave officials to open the palace and the three divisions, and it was indeed Cai Jing who was the prime minister at that time, and Cai Jing really resisted the decree and refused to be appointed. Giving this official position is really a holy decree, and it needs to be signed and appointed by the prime minister, so Cai Jing refused to appoint, and Tong Guan could not be promoted to this official.

Then Zhao Ji has only two ways, one is to give up this plan, and the other is to remove Cai Jing from the prime minister again.

Yes, the sore system is here, Zhao Ji has the right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister, but the appointment and removal of the rest of the positions need to be carried out by the prime minister. Otherwise, Zhao Ji would have really given Gao Fangping "Tongjinshi background" a long time ago. It is because even if Zhao Ji likes Gao Fangping, he must agree to Cai Jing, which leads to Gao Fangping's inability to go up and down.

This is the strange place of the Great Song Dynasty, but all prime ministers dare to work against the emperor. The difference is that Cai Jing does not have the backbone of the former famous ministers, and most of the time he will not go against the emperor's will.

That's why the wayward Zhao Ji only likes Cai Jing, and Cai Jing has been used repeatedly in history, just because if other people are used as people, Zhao Ji will be ten times more depressed.

I heard that after Cai Jing resisted the decree in court, Zhao Ji's beard was so angry that he was angry, but since Cai Jing was not easy to speak, there was no intimate person, and Zhao Ji was a superstitious person, and it was a matter of corrupting feng shui to dismiss the prime minister at will, so although he had some heart problems, Zhao Ji did not agree with Cai Jing's picking, so this time Zhao Ji was defeated by them, and he withdrew the appointment of the official Tong Guan, which became a political farce......

Seeing that the farce of Tong Guan's promotion has subsided.

Gao Fangping felt that the incident was very unusual, and hurriedly came to the government affairs hall to see Uncle Zhang.

"Tong Guan, a traitor, doesn't do good things, bad things must have him, and I don't know what gifts he looted to give to the official family, I don't know how to bewitch the official family, and the official family actually violated the taboo and planned to promote him!"

When I entered the lobby, I heard Uncle Zhang angrily reprimanding him at night.

There were Liao people who came to provoke him before, and now it is Tong Guan's matter, at this time, Lao Zhang was a barrel of explosives, and Gao Fangping had already slipped away when he was replaced, but this time he had to bite the bullet and wait for him to finish scolding.

After scolding, Lao Zhang looked at him with ill intentions: "What are you here to make a mess, are you involved in Tong Guan's matter this time?" ”

"Mingfu, the rich boy dares, but this time Tong Guan's mallet is too big, and the kid definitely doesn't dare to deal with him." Gao Fangping hurriedly shook his hand.

"The matter of giving officials has been suppressed by our joint Cai Jing, what is the important matter for you to come?" Uncle Zhang twisted his beard at night and said.

Gao Fangping said word by word: "The Ming Mansion can't be a child's play, immediately use the reputation of the government affairs hall to urgently ring the alarm bell for Zong Ze Xianggong for eight hundred miles to prevent him from doing stupid things!" ”

Uncle Zhang pouted at night and said, "What stupid thing can he do?" He's not going to get into trouble better than you, is he? ”

"If Xia Guan didn't guess wrong, he was going to kill Tong Guan, and if it really happened, it would be chaotic!" Gao Fangping Road.

Uncle Zhang was also taken aback, and suddenly got up and said, "Go on." ”

"Zong Ze is a doer-like cool official, and his eyes can't rub sand. In normal times, Tong Guan's matter has already been impeached by Zong Ze's impeachment document in Beijing. But this time Zong Ze is extremely low-key. And he is a person who will never be in the same stream as Tong Guan, that is, he is deliberately indulging Tong Guan to do stupid things to attract hatred, Lao Zong is an actual ruthless person, and there must be a reason for doing things, so the kid guessed that he might kill Tong Guan on the eighth floor. Gao Fangping said solemnly.

After hearing this, he felt that it made sense, Zhang Shuye was really frightened and jumped up, hurriedly wrote a document to reprimand Zong Ze, warned about a number of matters, and hurriedly issued it in eight hundred miles.

After the document was issued, Uncle Zhang was covered in cold sweat at night, and he inevitably praised this little traitor.

This is really a big deal, if Tong Guanzhen was beheaded by Zong Ze with an excuse, and there was Cai Jing's anti-decree incident before, then Zong Ze made another stupid move, which would really make the emperor think that the scholar group was lawless and began to face the emperor.

It's very simple, the emperor wanted to seal Tong Guan's official, but Tong Guan was killed in a blink of an eye. Regardless of the internal situation, once this move becomes a fact, anyone who is the emperor will feel unsafe, and then it will really start to oppose the scholar group. At least when he came to the institute, the career of the few ministers in the dynasty who could use the minister Zong Ze came to an end, and it was impossible to do anything more.

From Gao Fangping's point of view, it doesn't matter whether or not he breaks the myth of Shi Dafu's invincibility. But Zong Ze, a rare handsome minister who can fight and take charge of himself, must not be lost in this special period, this is one. Second, if this precedent is opened, Tong Guan can be killed, which means that Gao Yu's father is also quite dangerous, which will bring even greater chaos.

At this point, Gao Fangping couldn't help but sigh, the prime minister is really not easy to do, he is responsible for the country, employing people is the top priority, the Manchu Dynasty's wonderful, traitorous ministers, scum, madmen, capable ministers and famous generals and so on hodgepodge, how to match these people well, use them well, that is really a systematic knowledge.

It is impossible to be perfect, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the kind of court where all officials are loyal ministers and famous generals will never exist.

The appointment of Zong Ze to Jingzhao Mansion and Tong Guan was a failure of Cai Jing's government affairs, which almost killed Lao Cai himself. All men are virtuous, and some cannot expect them to be peaceful. For example, no one can expect Zong Ze, a troll who has scolded four emperors, to speak well. No one can expect Tong Guan's mallet to become Yue Fei. No one can expect Gao Fangping to become an honest and honest Bao Zheng. You can't expect Zhao Ji to be Li Shimin. (To be continued.) )
