Chapter 256: Persecution
When Ye Qingchen left, it was already night, and the palace gate was already locked, just like that, Renzong still left Ye Qingchen to eat, from what he did, Renzong saw his persistence, for the sake of the court's funds, he did not hesitate to go against the entire court, such courage is worth encouraging.
In other aspects, Renzong may face the agitated officials, and he will also retreat, but financially, it is even said that in terms of replacing better materials and reducing costs, this is the general trend.
Even Jia Chaochang's status in the Privy Council, the 120,000 yuan he barely obtained, he must withdraw his hand, let alone others.
With the current tension in all aspects of the imperial court, in the name of economy, no one can stop many things, this is the general trend.
At the same time, what Ye Qingchen and the Privy Council made together was the finishing touch, because the money saved would be used for large-scale projects, farmland and water conservancy construction, and war expenditures that may not have been encountered.
This prevented someone from leading the war to the dispute between the courtiers and the imperial power, and Renzong could only mediate in the middle, but he called all the Zaifu.
First of all, the Yushitai was criticized, after all, so many impeachments, almost all of them were made out of nothing, how did the Yushitai do it, and actually let these twists and turns come up in a grand manner.
Yu Shi Zhongcheng was even scolded for being bloody, he was also very helpless, in fact, the replacement of iron materials had nothing to do with him, but there were many people below, and he was sorting and sorting at the beginning, but then, seeing the excitement of the crowd, he had no choice, but he didn't expect that in Zhao Xin, he was scolded.
Jia Chaochang let out a long breath, but fortunately he didn't move, because of Fan Zhongyan's matter, he had already lost points with Renzong.
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just that at the wrong time and place, when Renzong praised Fan Zhongyan, he leaned over, and under the premise that Renzong was slightly estranged, he also followed the estrangement.
It seems that Renzong didn't move, and he didn't pass Fan Zhongyan and connect to him, but in fact, his score has been lost, and if he jumps out again this time, I'm afraid Renzong will definitely belittle him.
Other governors have similar ideas, they didn't jump out, not because they saw the opportunity quickly, but because they were reserved.
To be honest, these gray areas, for these people, some people have to be checked, such as Jia Chaochang, some people don't care at all, some people themselves are big landlords, big nobles, rich families, but some are still poor scholars, they need money to support the whole force.
No matter which direction they start from, the younger brothers are targeted, and it is still very important to get money, and they have to make a move anyway.
It's just that this opportunity needs to be grasped, and if there are a lot of them, if you can't grasp the opportunity, maybe you will be counterattacked.
Ye Qingchen is the third envoy to put it bluntly, although many people are dissatisfied with him, but his status is second only to Zhang Dexiang and Jia Chaochang, and even the degree of importance in Renzong's heart is also above them, such a person, even if Renzong has some resentment in his heart, it is difficult to beat him to death with a stick, in fact, it is difficult for them not to take advantage of the opportunity of the group to provoke anger.
After 3 hours of closed-door summoning, they knew that it would be difficult to deal with him, and now, when Renzong himself said the order, everyone knew that it was over.
Zhang Yi, who seems to be involved in political affairs, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, think twice, this blacksmith workshop has some unknown origins!" ”
Ye Qingchen squinted at Zhang Yi, this governor who was promoted from the Hanlin Academy, although he was born in Hanlin, but he was deeply involved in places like the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and there were even some unclear things.
Ye Qingchen didn't wait for Renzong to attack, he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Everything I do is out of public intentions!" ”
"Out of public interest, not necessarily, why don't you dare to say whose industry this workshop is!" Zhang Yi knew about the situation late, and besides, the entire court was already in chaos, and he was not in the mood to ask who this workshop belonged to!
But if you think about it, you will know that those places in the Daimyo's Mansion are places where the gates are concentrated, and only the big families, or even several major families, can combine to establish such a large-scale workshop and supply the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
In fact, in the hearts of most people, they all think so, yesterday's closed-door meeting, where the high-ranking officials are, Renzong and Ye Qingchen must have discussed, in this case, they must fight back, after the chaos, then create chaos, delay time is certain.
Renzong's eyes were a mime, and a sharp edge penetrated Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi didn't pay attention, but Ye Qingchen next to him noticed it, and smiled coldly, he wasn't going to make a mistake and deal with Zhang Yi, since Zhang Yi jumped out, then don't blame him for being polite.
He bowed to Renzong, then faced Zhang Yi and said, "What don't I dare to say!" ”
Zhang Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and continued to ask: "Who is that, which family is it!" ”
"It's not a person, it's just Dinghai Hou!"
"Dinghai Hou!" Zhang Yi repeated, in his mind, some of the momentary can't get around the circle, this name is very familiar, but also very unfamiliar, his brain has been going around several big families in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then he has ignored this famous name that was once in the court, and repeated it several times.
Dinghaihou, Ye Qingchen's words, the voice was not high, but above the main hall, it was quite quiet, everyone heard it, Zhang Yi didn't think about who Dinghaihou was for various reasons, but others were smart, and when they heard the three words Dinghaihou, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The focus of the previous impeachment was that Ye Qingchen colluded with others, although it may not be true, but such a large-scale blacksmith shop must be powerful, as long as there are people, this water can be muddyed.
This has always been the focus of Zhang Yi's questioning, as long as Ye Qingchen tells people out, and then messes around, the yellow mud falls into the crotch of his pants, and it is not but.
But as soon as Ye Qingchen's three words came out, everyone understood that Zhang Yi was finished, and he, as a political counselor, was impeached without any basis, and he was impeached to Dinghaihou.
People in a certain circle know who Dinghaihou is, only the middle and low-level ones, and they are still blindfolded, isn't it the new Jiedu envoy? Why do you have a constipation-like expression.
Zhang Yi finally had a normal mind, he figured out who Dinghaihou was, and his face was suddenly very ugly.
There is a reason why he came out, that is, because the involvement is too big, with an annual income of up to 500,000 yuan, and the fields he is involved in are much deeper than Jia Chaochang.
Now, not only is there no hope of messing up this matter, but it also makes Renzong hold a grudge, this is no longer a matter of income, but a problem of not protecting the official position under the buttocks.
Ye Qingchen has so far pointed out, he also knows a little bit about Zhang Yi, and he has always wanted to take him down, but it is too troublesome, he can participate in political affairs, and he has some power in his own right, and it is not so easy to be defeated.
Ye Qingchen knew very well that his main focus was on financial issues, as long as the finances were squeezed out a little, corruption was not something he interfered with, it was a matter of Yushitai.
But Zhang Yi took the initiative to jump on the muzzle, then don't blame him, if he defeated Zhang Yi, he can be regarded as an excellent chicken, and when the time comes, no one will stop such a package discussed with Renzong.
Ignoring Zhang Yi's black expression, in everyone's opinion, Zhang Yi is already a dead fish, and if he takes the initiative to jump out, he has to bear Renzong's anger, although Renzong did not attack in court, but if he invites himself to go down, I am afraid it is the only choice, but did he get out?
Ye Qingchen took the initiative to say the things that had been communicated with Renzong, from the iron materials of various departments to the materials replaced, the more he said, the darker the faces of everyone in the court.
Ye Qingchen alone is very terrifying, plus Renzong, after Renzong finished speaking, this bag directly pressed on Zhang Dexiang's body.
The political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, on the surface, was a system of three provinces and six ministries, but in fact, the three provinces and six ministries were more fictitious titles, which were used to canonize and enjoy certain treatments.
The West Mansion is in charge of the government, the East Mansion is in charge of the military, and the three divisions have an overview of finance, which forms a balance, the Privy Council has long been taken by Ye Qingchen, and the three divisions are under the jurisdiction of Ye Qingchen, so there is only Zhang Dexiang left.
Zhang Dexiang suddenly had a bitter face, he was the head of the court, he was quite sad, and he had never enjoyed any real power.
Fan Zhongyan was there before, he said that he was the first assistant, but most of the things were decided by Fan Zhongyan, and now Renzong has changed his attitude, and he has not been the first assistant for a few days, and Ye Qingchen has come out again.
This day has not been issued, but Zhang Yi's precedent made Zhang Dexiang dare not agree, this is a legitimate reason, it can reduce a lot of expenses, this era is very clear about the bad financial situation, since the best of both worlds, you have to object, there must be a reasonable reason.
This is also the root cause of Zhang Yihu's troubles, he always wants to bring things out, and even bring them to Ye Qingchen.
But I didn't expect that it would be brought to the ditch, but it is conceivable that Zhang Yi will bear how much anger Renzong will bear next, with this precedent in front, coupled with Renzong's attitude, it is clear that this matter must be settled in the court discussion, and if they are not given time to react and change, there is no way to do it now.
Looking at Zhang Dexiang's approval, although he had not yet asked all the governors of the Xifu, the courtiers above the hall already knew that this matter could not be changed, Renzong, Sansi, Dongxifu, this represents the highest decision-makers in all fields of the Northern Song Dynasty, and what they jointly recognized was something that some small problems could be overturned, and the general trend had been decided.
