Chapter 995: A good move is not afraid to be used twice

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Song Huizong has been a very extravagant person since he was a child, an artist, money is not very important, the key is to have taste, that's fine, and later he became the emperor, rarely to punish corrupt officials, on the contrary, he also connived at this kind of behavior on a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ, for example, he indulged Liang Shicheng and others to sell officials and lords, and collected wealth for themselves, which not only harmed the interests of the people, but also harmed the interests of the world's scholars, and has been criticized.

Even now, the Ordnance Supervisor is also his department for collecting money, which is more than in the past. Of course, this is just a superficial account, in fact, Li Qi is more cunning than him, crossing the river and immediately demolishing the bridge, waiting until Song Huizong promised the independence of the ordnance prison and made money in the ordnance superintendent, Li Qi immediately proposed to advocate honesty and anti-corruption, and used the mouths of hundreds of officials to restrict Song Huizong.

If this matter was in the past, Song Huizong would not have asked about it at all, at most he would have laughed it off, but now it is different, he was really made to death by this advocacy of honesty and anti-corruption, and he was furious, and he would never give up without this evil breath.

Cai Jing, Gao Yu and the others glanced at Song Huizong slightly, and seeing the anger on his face, they knew that this would never be a joke, and their hearts jumped suddenly, and they were very worried. But because they couldn't guess what Song Huizong was thinking, they didn't make a sound, and they wouldn't make a move until the last moment.

However, Cai You and the others would not think so, this time is really a godsend, how can they be willing to let it go.

Cai You was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the law of my Great Song Dynasty, if the ministers of the court and the central government are corrupt and take bribes, the heavier ones will be distributed to the border, and the lighter ones will be dismissed and investigated, and their descendants will not be allowed to enter the office. It is forbidden for his descendants to enter the court as officials. ”

Exercise! You're really a smart mess, just a little money, you're going to fire me, then aren't you dying 800 times is too little, dog's day, Lao Tzu's son was only born for a few days, you are going to cut off a channel for him to get an employment, it seems that you are much more ruthless than Lao Tzu. Li Qi was almost amused by Cai You's words, but he also became very cautious in his heart, although this was just a scene of killing chickens for monkeys. But it can be seen that once they really have something in their hands, then they have to put themselves to death, so compared to Cai Jing and others, Li Qi, who has no power, needs to be more cautious.

Jiang Daoyan said: 'Your Majesty, the British public said, and the ministers dare not share it. ”

Cai You frowned when he heard this, because Jiang Daoyan was unique. And he doesn't have to take care of anyone, only others take care of them, so he is also afraid that Jiang Daoyan will be on Li Qi's side.

But. His worries seemed to be a little superfluous, and Jiang Daoyan continued: "If this is someone else's, then the British duke's words are not unreasonable. But the economy makes the difference. ”

Song Huizong said: 'Oh, how do you say this? ”

Jiang Daoyan said: "Whether it was the purging of Jiangnan officialdom at the beginning, or the promotion of honesty and anti-corruption today. It can be seen that whether this person is an official or a human being, what he does is shameful, and he should be severely punished and announced to the world as a warning. ”

When Cai You heard this, he immediately turned his worries into joy, he was a good person, and he could still have such a painful revenge, it couldn't be more cool.

Many ministers also hurriedly stood up and seconded the motion, and even demanded that Li Qi should never be allowed to be an official, because they wanted to prevent future troubles!

It seems that that kid has a lot of enemies in the court! Song Huizong looked at it in his eyes, but he didn't show his face, his eyes were on Cai Jing, Zhao Huan's face quickly swept over, nodded and said: "All Aiqing are reasonable, although Li Qi has made countless contributions, but he relied on my favor to know the law and break the law, and his crime is unforgivable. ”

After a pause, he added, 'Someone! Pull the sinner Richie down---。 ”

'Father, please calm your anger. ”

Without waiting for Song Huizong to finish speaking, Zhao Huan suddenly stood up.

Song Huizong snorted: "If you want to intercede for Li Qi, I persuade you to be exempt, if you are not my prince, I understand your character, I will never do this kind of thing, otherwise, do you think that Honglu Temple can be lightly disposed of, this negotiation is your Honglu Temple is responsible, Li Qi is corrupt, you yourself can not escape the blame, quickly retreat." ”

Wow! It seems that whether it is a faint monarch or a bright monarch, they are all at the level of actors! Li Qi saw that Song Huizong was using his son for a show, and couldn't help but fall under his acting skills.

Seeing that Song Huizong didn't even give the prince face, and reprimanded the prince, the ministers knew that Song Huizong was really angry this time, and no one dared to stand up for Li Qi anymore.

Zhao Huan was also stupid, he really didn't expect that his father would not give him any face, and immediately rejected his request, which was extremely embarrassing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He interceded for Li Qi, mostly for himself, because Li Qi wears many hats, and they are the current top priorities of the imperial court, if Li Qi is in the Bureau of Commerce, he can use Li Qi to make contributions and establish his prestige, which is the most important thing for him today, and he doesn't like Cai Jing and his son, and there is a lot of trouble between them, although now Cai Jing and his son are trying their best to please him, but he has not changed his mind, but the relationship with Cai Jing has eased a little, and he still hates Cai You very much, But Li Qi is not afraid of Cai You alone, he regards Li Qi as the first think tank around him, so he will stand up eagerly to intercede for Li Qi.

Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others are even more bitter, this time Li Qi really kicked down the iron plate, thinking in his heart whether to stand up and intercede now, or wait for Song Huizong's anger to disappear, and then plead, but if he doesn't ask now, once Li Qi is dismissed and investigated, Cai You They will definitely not give Li Qi a chance to turn over, and they will definitely stay by Song Huizong's side day and night to prevent others from interceding for Li Qi.

In any case, Li Qi must not be dismissed from his post and investigated. Cai Jingyi gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not interceding for Li Qi, but for my Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji. ”

Cai You glanced at Cai Jing, his eyes were angry and jealous, when he was young, he actually admired Cai Jing very much, and he never rebelled against Cai Jing's words, but Cai Jing liked his second son who was very talented, which made him very jealous, so their father and son turned against each other. The seeds were bought many years ago.

In fact, Cai Jing has also understood this in recent years, and he is full of regret in his heart, and he also wants to reconcile with Cai You before entering the earth again, but it is obvious that Cai You has decided to set up his own door, and he has already regarded him as his biggest enemy, which makes Cai Jing very helpless.

A smile flashed in Song Huizong's eyes, and he said, "Oh? What does Aiqing mean by this? ”

Cai Jing said: 'Return to the emperor. Li Qi did make an unforgivable mistake, but he still didn't do anything out of the ordinary on the big right and wrong, if he was greedy for money, he would have agreed to the request of the envoys such as Da Shi and Byzantium, and I believe that the money is far more than now, which shows that Li Qi's character is not as unbearable as Jiang Yushi said. Moreover, he did not receive the gifts of my subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, but the gifts of foreign envoys, which should be another matter. ”

Jiang Daoyan snorted: "Taishi's words are really novel. Jiang is willing to listen to the teachings of the Taishi and see if the word 'greed' can be reversed. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I, Cai Yuanchang, teach Jiang Yushi, as long as Jiang Yushi doesn't often come to the door to teach." Then the chief was satisfied. Cai Jing said with a smile.

Cai Jing's words seem to be modest, but in fact, he is not, in the court. He never talks nonsense, and tries to grasp every word.

As we all know, Cai Jing suffered a lot in front of the officials of the Yushitai, and his words were to imply that Jiang Daoyan often took rats and meddled in his affairs.

When the rest of the officials saw it, they were all smiling, and this scene was really getting better and better.

Jiang Daoyan didn't have to understand, but his current target was Li Qi, and he knew that if he dealt with Cai Jing and Li Qi at the same time, he would only put himself in an embarrassing place, so he just smiled and didn't answer.

Song Huizong on the dragon chair was very happy to see this situation at this time, they fought with each other, so they would not 'take care' of themselves wholeheartedly.

Cai Jing, as Jiang Daoyan's old opponent, also knew that he didn't dare to argue with himself at this time, so he didn't dwell too much, and continued: "The money of our Great Song subjects, that is all belonging to our Great Song Dynasty, if you embezzle their money, that is to embezzle my Great Song money, but the money of foreign envoys is not our Great Song Dynasty, it belongs to their country's money, and the purpose of this trade negotiation is to earn their money. It's just that the means are a little shameful, if you want to say wrong, you can only say that he has humiliated my Great Song Dynasty officials, but, you know, he is a businessman, and he is still young, inexperienced, and unthinkable, but, then again, the reason why the emperor chose Li Qi as an economic envoy is not to see his ability to do business, since the emperor wants to use his advantages to make profits for my Great Song Dynasty, then, the old minister thinks, must accept his shortcomings, how can there be a perfect thing in this world, the old minister thinks that the prince is what he means. ”

is worthy of Cai Lao, when it comes to talking, it really doesn't leak! After these words, Li Qi couldn't help but give Cai Jing a thumbs up, Cai Jing's words not only mentioned that he fiercely refuted Jiang Daoyan and Cai You's words, but also gave the prince a step down, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Huan hurriedly said: "What Taishi said is very true, I mean exactly this, this trade negotiation, Li Qi is also indispensable, if Li Qi is dismissed, then looking at the world, who can take this position?" ”

Song Huizong's face changed, and he laughed: "It turns out that this greedy word can really be seen upside down, interesting, interesting." Listening to you say that, there is some truth to it. ”

As he spoke, the resoluteness revealed in the murderous aura in his eyes gradually became a little hesitant.

Cai Youke is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that this matter has spread to the streets, if the court ignores this matter, how can the people of the world be convinced." ”

Jiang Daoyan said: "Yes, if this is the case, then in the eyes of the people, I am afraid that the four words of advocating honesty and anti-corruption are just a joke." ”

Song Huizong nodded again and said, "What the two Aiqing said is also very reasonable. However, Li Qi is now in a heavy position, and in the eyes of businessmen, he is very prestigious, and he is a bridge between the court and businessmen. Alas, this is really a difficult thing to do! ”

After a pause, he suddenly said, 'Richie, what else do you have to say?' ”

After a while, there was no reaction under the steps, and Song Huizong frowned and said, "Li Qi! ”

'Huh? Oh--- Wechen is here. ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned and hurriedly replied. Just now, he has been watching the play, completely forgetting that he is the protagonist, and he still looks fearless. Almost exposed, secretly screaming damn. Immediately entered the state, bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen always thought that there was nothing wrong with receiving those gifts, and it was not as the Taishi said, it was up to people to receive gifts, Weichen always thought that this was just a favor, and Weichen went to other people's homes as guests, and they also brought gifts. I didn't expect that there were so many bends and curves in this, which almost made my Great Song Dynasty ashamed, it was really shameless, and Weichen has always been honest and honest as the principle, it turns out that --- alas, it seems that Weichen is still too young, but it is also Weichen's fault that he is young, and he has nothing to do with others. Weichen has nothing to say, admits punishment and admits punishment, and has no complaints, only asking the emperor to see the merits of Weichen. Rao Weichen's life. ”

Shameless!

Absolute shamelessness!

Honest and honest? What does this have to do with you Li Qi, what is your young age, it's your own fault, this is obviously excusing yourself!

Li Qi's move is to retreat into advance. Cai Jing and the others couldn't wait to applaud, but Jiang Daoyan and others scolded him for being shameless.

This kid really lied and didn't blink, but luckily I knew about it beforehand. Otherwise, with his family wealth, I am afraid that I will really believe him, I really don't know how many lies he has told me in front of me before. Thinking of this, Song Huizong couldn't help but feel a little itchy with hatred, and then thought about it, he always let this kid succeed before, but this is an opportunity, why don't I take this opportunity to teach this kid a lesson by the way, and get out of this evil spirit in my heart. His face didn't change: 'Hmm. It seems that this is just your unintentional mistake, if you are dismissed and investigated, it is indeed unfair, but if you don't punish it, I will lose my trust in the world, this capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! But what should I punish you? ”

At this point, he seemed hesitant.

Depend on! That's not how the script goes! Punishment has been discussed a long time ago, what is the punishment for greed, Lao Tzu gives a little silver, and it will be over, how can you not know what to do? Li Qi raised his eyebrows, his heart was both surprised and nervous, and he didn't know what Song Huizong planned now.

Those anti-Li factions, seeing that Song Huizong still opened up to Li Qiwang after all, were disappointed in their hearts. Among them, the most disappointed is Cai You, in fact, he also understands in his heart that it is difficult to achieve if he wants to defeat Li Qi through this, but he still wants to use the long-standing resentment in Song Huizong's heart to hope to create a miracle, but unfortunately, he still fell short in the end.

However, even so, he didn't intend to let Li Qi pass the test easily, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan that can not only give appropriate punishment to the economic envoy, but also give an explanation to the subjects of the world. ”

Song Huizong now has the intention to rectify Li Qi, and he is very happy to see Cai You's advice, because he knows that Cai You will never punish Li Qi lightly, so he hurriedly said: "Aiqing has any good plan, come quickly." ”

Li Qi looked at the happy look that flashed in Song Huizong's eyes, how could he not understand that Song Huizong was going to fake the show, and scolded him for being despicable and shameless. Look at Cai You's treacherous face, and his heart is miserable, this is really self-inflicted, you can't live! Secretly, Lao Tzu was really blind, and he chose to cooperate with Song Huizong, a faint monarch, only he had my share!

Seeing Li Qi's depressed face, Cai You was full of pleasure in his heart, and almost laughed out loud, and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember how you punished the ministers and economic envoys at the beginning?" ”

When Li Qi heard this, he almost fainted out of breath.

Song Huizong frowned and pondered for a moment, and exclaimed, "Are you talking about sweeping the streets?" ”

Cai You said treacherously: "Exactly, it's true, after that punishment, Weichen still remembers it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to forget the lesson of that day, let alone make the same mistake." The emperor can punish the economic envoy to sweep the street for a month, and, the matter will be announced to the world, so that the people can be given an explanation, in addition, the location can be arranged in Donghua Gate, the hour can be arranged before and after the national flag, the recent imperial court has not changed the name of the Chaoyang flag to the sun does not set, just through the economic envoy to attract more people to watch the rise of the sun does not set flag, for the sun does not set flag has a more comprehensive understanding, Weichen dare to guarantee that once the people know that the economy sweeps the street, will definitely come to watch. ”

This is really a pair of living enemies! The tricks of the two sides to rectify each other are really more ruthless than one move, which is jaw-dropping. The ministers all snickered and said nothing. Cai Jing and the others saw that Li Qi's official position was worry-free, but they didn't bother to wade into this troubled water, but this also fell into Cai You's hands, and he knew that his father would never come forward again because of this strange punishment.

Song Huizong was a very strange emperor, and he punished himself at the beginning. Very proud, now that Cai You said this, his heart was happy, and he said: "Okay! That's a great idea! Anyway, this person usually doesn't fall in love with the early dynasty! Ha ha! ”

Day! Lao Tzu works overtime every day, why don't you say it, this is a double standard, who is convinced, it's really a mallet. Li Qi was angry, and scolded this pair of shameless monarchs and ministers in his heart, and the wolf bèi was a traitor. framed Zhongliang, but, I have to say, Cai You's trick is really amazing, if it weren't for him, he might really clap his hands, snort a few times, throw a high, and proudly said: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated." 'Sweeping the streets. It's just one day, but now it's a month, and at that time, Cai You made safflower. Who cares about his green leaves, besides, you must know that this flag-raising is not in the evening!

'Presumptuous, there is no joke in front of the emperor. Cai You shouted angrily. He made a pilgrimage and said, 'Your Majesty, you have heard. Economy made him prefer to die rather than accept punishment, disobeying the emperor's orders, and deserving to be put to death. ”

Song Huizong was determined to rectify Li Qi, and said lightly: "Li Qi, I will give you another chance, do you choose to die or choose to accept punishment." ”

Forget it, forget it, I admit it, you people who watch jokes, wait, see who dies first! Li Qi was secretly angry in his heart, but he still sneered and said: "Emperor Mingjian, when did Wei Chen say that he wanted to die, the British public clearly wanted to frame Wei Chen, and his heart is comparable to a snake and scorpion!" ”

Cai You immediately jumped up angrily, pointed at Li Qi and said: "You actually opened your eyes and said nonsense, you just clearly said that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, and all the ministers here can testify." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "I also heard it very clearly. ”

Cai You said: 'What are you arguing with now? ”

Li Qi said: "Why should I quibble, I'm not a scholar, I'm just a cook, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated, it has something to do with me!" I just used the wrong sentence, you can say that I am worried, but you can't say that you want to die, a fool will want to die, you either deliberately framed me, or you are the same as me, the literature is worrying, I really don't know how you got the name of the doctor. ”

Is that okay?

Including Song Huizong and others, they couldn't help laughing out loud, especially those scholars, who had long been deceitful to Cai You, and had quite a few complaints, and now Li Qi said their hearts, and his heart was also happy. However, when it comes to this kind of kung fu of chewing words, Li Qi is really unsurpassed, who dares to say that your writing is not good!

Cai You was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Li Qi and said, "You --- you---! ”

But he really couldn't find any reason to refute Rich's words!

Song Huizong saw that Cai You's anxious face turned the color of pig's liver, so he quickly put away his smile, coughed lightly, and said, "The economy makes Li Qi." ”

'Wechen is here. ”

'As to the matter of accepting envoys from various countries, I think that you are a first-time offender, and it is an unintentional mistake, therefore, I will open up to you and exempt you from the punishment of dismissal, but I must give an account to the whole world, and I will now punish you for all the gifts you have received, and deduct one year's salary, and besides, sweep the Donghua Gate for a month, do you have any objection? ”

Li Qi was full of resentment, and saluted: "Weichen bows to the emperor for not killing." ”

Song Huizong snorted and said, "I hope you don't want to commit it again in the future, if you do it again, I will not tolerate it." As he spoke, he glanced at the ministers and said, "And you should also take this as a warning, if I know, I will be severely punished, so you can do it yourself." ”

'The ministers remembered the emperor's teachings. ”

The ministers said in unison, but everyone was in danger, judging from today's signs, Song Huizong was by no means joking, if he didn't get it right, he would really be dismissed and investigated.

Now I know that I am afraid, it is too late. The corners of Song Huizong's mouth hooked up a smug smile, and he said: "Also, what is written in the Banana Daily, although every sentence is true, but this kind of practice still needs to be discussed, and it must be found out who did it." Where is the deputy marshal of the guard? ”

Li Qi said weakly: "Weichen is here." ”

Song Huizong said: "It is the duty of your guards to do this, and this matter also has a lot to do with you, so I will order you to find out who did it." ”

This is a long time ago, at this moment, this task is handed over to Li Qi to do, no one will doubt it, because Li Qi is a victim, he will definitely go all out, but who would have thought that Li Qi is a thief shouting to catch a thief. As an actor, you still have to have the most basic professional ethics, and you have to play a full set of acts, although Li Qi is very unhappy with Song Huizong's personal vendetta, but the overall situation is important, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen is not as good as his mission, and he will definitely arrest these hateful thieves." ”

Cai Yu hurriedly said: "The economy surprised this, there is no half a lie on the Banana Daily, what a crime, not only is there no fault, but there is merit, how can it be said that the arrest is brought to justice, and the economic envoy can not announce personal vendettas." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Yes, Li Qi, because you are not highly educated, I won't bother with you this time." ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Glancing at Cai You again, seeing his smug look, he smiled secretly, you wait, it won't be long before you hate this banana daily.
