Chapter 445: Shunchang rebels
Gao Tao said slowly: "Lin Xi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, inquire about Yangzhou Mansion; Shangshu Zuocheng Cai Bian, Zhichi Prefecture; Shangshu right Cheng Huang Xu, transferred to Yuezhou Mansion; Han Wei, a scholar of the Zhengdian University, was transferred to the new state magistrate; Serving Shi Shengtao, he was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Xinzhou regiment. ”
The faces of these people were suddenly like ashes, and the few who had just followed Han Jin's coaxing, all of them were demoted out of the capital and went to local officials, especially Lin Xi, Cai Bian, and Huang Lu, all of whom were dignified and directly demoted to the prefect, which is equivalent to being demoted from a member of the Politburo Standing Committee to the mayor of a prefecture-level city!
Han Wei and Sheng Tao were even more miserable and were sent to Xinzhou, that is, Lingnan. In the Song Dynasty, Lingnan was a very remote and backward place, and it was the main place of exile. In other words, few of those who have been relegated here will make it back alive!
Several officials came out of the column with white faces and knelt down, kowtowing in thanks. Even though it is degraded, you have to be grateful, which is called knocking out your teeth and swallowing them in your stomach.
Han Jin, who took the lead, had not yet fallen, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Gao Taotao deliberately put him last, and also looked at him, Han Zhen kept kneeling on the ground, holding the wat and waiting, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Tao felt a little unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of Du Wenhao's words, he had endless troubles in the future, and he had to kill the killer to ensure the smooth progress of the army's reform.
Therefore, Gao Tao dragged out his voice and said coldly: "The privy envoy Han Jin,—— to inform the Qiongzhou Mansion!" ”
Qiongzhou is located in Hainan, in the Song Dynasty, Hainan Island is more barren than Lingnan, belongs to the undeveloped wild and smoky land, was relegated here, in terms of living conditions at that time, it can be said that a life went to ninety into nine, and Ling Chi was almost the same as being executed!
Therefore, as soon as Gao said this, the ministers and generals above the hall all felt like the cold winter moon suddenly came, and there was a trace of cold air on the back spine! Han Jin, with his dignity and dignity, was assigned to the most remote and backward place because he was the proitter of Gao Taotao's new policy, which shows that Gao Taotao's suppression of the opposition has reached the point of no return!
Han Jin's whole body trembled, the ivory wat in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, smiled miserably, and said: "Old minister......, Empress Dowager Xie ......, Longen!" ”
Quietly above the main hall, Han Zhen put away the ivory wat on the ground, took a look, and felt a sour feeling in his heart. This thing will not be needed in the future, with his age and bones, whether he can go to Hainan alive is still a question, let alone whether he can come back alive, I am afraid that he will die on the road.
He slowly raised his head and arched his hand: "The Queen Mother, can you move to another place for the sake of having an old mother at home?" ”
Gao Tao said brazenly: "The mountain can be moved, but this state cannot be moved!" ”
This sentence was like a slap in the face, which shattered Han Jin's last hope, and made the ministers shudder. Even Du Wenhao felt a chill, thinking that this woman was really not ordinary when she was ruthless.
Before this incident, when the two discussed countermeasures, Du Wenhao just asked her to suppress the opposition and demote the capital, but he didn't expect Gao Taotao to do a really good job, not only demoted all the four governors to magistrates, but even sent the leaders directly to Hainan. Especially the last sentence, it is violent, categorical, and quite an iron lady.
Although Du Wenhao felt that Gao Taotao's suppression of the opposition was too much, it was better to be ruthless at the beginning, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to ensure the smooth progress of the reform. It's a big deal to wait a few days for the reform to be on the right track, and then readjust these people to other better places as officials.
Gao Tao sat up straight and said, "The transfer of the substitute officials to the place where Aiqing moved above will be decided by the Ministry of Officials who will report to the mourning family. ”
Fan Chunren, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
Gao Tao said again: "Lu Gong, a scholar of the Senior Administration Palace, Lu Dafang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Fan Chunren, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Qing, a miscellaneous officer of the Imperial History, Han Zhongyan, a scholar of the Ministry of Households, Xu Jiang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhao Zhan, a scholar of the Household Department, stepped forward to listen to the seal!" ”
These people were surprised and delighted, and they hurriedly went out of the queue with a wat and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Lu Gongzhi was promoted to the Privy Council, Lu Dafang was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Fan Chunren was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, and Liu Qing was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng."
The first three of the four people who took the lead and agreed with Gao Tao just now were all conservative leaders who opposed the reform of the law, and entered the highest decision-making level of Zaizhi. Liu Qing is a centrist, but this time he has a clear attitude and supports Gao Taotao's new policy, so he was also selected into the Zai Zhi series, which is obviously used to show Gao Tao's open-mindedness.
Gao Tao said again: "Taishi Wen Yanbo, come forward and listen to the seal." ”
Wen Yanbo's support made Gao Tao mighty, so it is estimated that the reward will not be bad.
Wen Yanbo held his wat and arched his hand: "The Empress Dowager, the old minister is already eighty-one, and he really can't worry about the country anymore, and the first emperor has given enough glory to the old minister, so there is no need to reward him anymore." ”
Gao Tao smiled and said: "The mourning family has not rewarded you, you have served the country for most of your life, and your achievements are unmatched, the mourning family is to be rewarded, you don't have to kneel, just go forward and listen to the seal." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Wen Yanbo was old, holding a dragon's head cane, shaking three times, walking forward and bowing to listen to the order.
Gao Tao thought for a while and said: "The mourning family has appointed you as an important military matter in Pingzhang, and the class is above the prime minister, and you are allowed to avoid bowing to the monarch in front of the king, and go to the capital hall every ten days to discuss state affairs." ”
Wen Yanbo trembled and said, "Xie Empress Dowager Longen!" ”
The important affairs of the Pingzhang military state are honorary titles given to the old ministers, which are higher than the status of the prime minister, and it is really above ten thousand people under one person. Gao Taotao's honor to Wen Yanbo has also reached the point of no return.
Such a big thing happened, and all the civil and military officials were stunned, and they originally wanted to start in the hall, but under the shock of this incident, they didn't dare to report it, so they would wait and see, and talk about it next time.
Gao Taotao said some words of encouragement again, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty. In the entire early dynasty, Zhezong didn't say a word, because he was still a child, although he was the emperor, he couldn't participate in national politics, so naturally he couldn't make speeches at will, otherwise, it would be wrong for others to listen to it or not.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Du Wenhao returned home with Shang Fang's sword. Tell Wang Runxue and them about the experience, everyone is mixed, it is naturally happy to get so much attention from the imperial court, but the ending of a gentleman and a courtier, Han Zhen and others today is hard to guarantee that it is not a portrayal of their future.
Listening to their words, Du Wenhao's mood also became a little melancholy. But now that it has reached this point, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can only move forward.
The residence of Li Chang in the imperial history.
Since Li Chang was dismissed from his post after returning to his hometown, he was so angry that he fell ill and lay down for more than half a month.
This morning, Li Chang's son Li Duan sat in front of the bed worriedly, looked at his father with a haggard face, and said cautiously: "Dad, you have called so many doctors to see this disease, but it can't be done, and it can't be dragged on like this, otherwise, the child should go and beg Du Zaizhi and ask him to come and see your illness, right?" The child heard that he was kind-hearted and did not distinguish between ......."
"You dare!" Li Chang said sharply, due to his anger, he coughed and wheezing, and pointed at him tremblingly, "You are not allowed to ask that villain to gain power!" Even if you die immediately, you will never ask Him! ”
"Yes, yes!" Li Duan agreed again and again. Just when there was nothing to be done, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, and an attendant ran in in a panic, panting and said, "Master, young master, something is wrong......
Li Duan said angrily: "What is it called!" Didn't you see the old man lying down when he was sick? ”
"Yes, yes!" The servant bowed busily.
Li Chang hurriedly raised his body and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to the master, Du Wenhao and Du Zai are here!"
Li Duan was surprised and delighted: "Du Zaizhi is here?" Please! ”
"Not allowed!" Li Chang said sharply, "Give him to me and beat him out!" Ahem, ahem, hit out! He wasn't allowed to step into the house! ”
The servant was panicked and embarrassed, and Nuo Nuo said: "Master, ......, you can't beat Ah ......, there are too many of them......"
"What?" Li Chang felt that the situation was not good, and he was so anxious that he coughed again.
Li Duan also panicked: "Did he bring a lot of people?" ”
"yes, I'm afraid there aren't hundreds! Surrounded our mansion! ”
"Huh?" Li Chang's father and son both screamed and looked at each other, and Li Duan asked in a trembling voice, "What did he bring so many people to do?" ”
He said...... they are ......, they are the ...... of the country, and what is the ...... of the country."
"NSA!" Li Chang said with a sad face.
"Yes, yes! NSA! The servant hurriedly said, "These people are all dressed in the same black shorts, with black masks on their heads, by the way, wearing a black vest, bulging, holding a shield and waist knife, and saying that no one is allowed to go out......"
As he was saying this, he heard the sound of noisy footsteps coming quickly, and he knew that there were many people coming, and Li Chang's father and son's faces changed greatly. Li Chang sat up subconsciously. Li Duan hurriedly turned around and walked out, wanting to see what was going on, but before he could reach the door, it was dark in front of him, and countless heads appeared outside the door, holding shields and waist knives, and rushed in together.
The first big man grabbed Li Duan, pulled him aside, and said sharply: "Kneel!" ”
Before Li Duan could react, the crook of his foot had already been kicked so hard that he couldn't move on the ground.
The masked man in black who came in quickly searched the house, and set up four doors. When he was done, a young man walked in slowly, followed by a strong man with a sword encrusted with precious pearls and gems in his arms.
The man went straight to Li Chang's bed and smiled coldly: "Master Li, let's meet again!" ”
This young man is naturally Du Wenhao.
Li Chang calmed down instead, and struggled to sit up: "Lord Zaizhi, why did you lead your troops to break into the cold house?" Could it be that the old decay has committed some royal law? ”
"You have the name of self-knowledge! If you don't violate the king's law, and it's a heinous felony, you don't need our NSA to come and arrest you! Du Wenhao said coldly.
