Chapter 3263 Xie Lin's sense of crisis

What the little emperor said about how to punish him was asking Zhao Xing to move the degraded official under residential surveillance to other places without permission, which violated the laws of the imperial court. According to the rules of the imperial court, this kind of behavior should be recorded, which will affect the future grind---- that is, on seniority.

In addition, the imperial court also punished such things severely---- and the Song Dynasty's punishment of scholars was not to raid their homes, demote officials, and sell officials' families as prostitutes, but to fine copper.

Zhang replied with a smile: "I'm waiting for him!" Your Majesty is going to hold a celebration of all countries coming to the court next year, didn't Zhao Liren seal and return the edict, this time he made a big mistake rashly, I'm afraid he won't dare to seal and return the edict again. In addition, how does Your Majesty plan to punish it, a fine of 200 catties of copper? ”

Ordinary officials make a big mistake, and this mistake will not be taken from office, and they are generally punished with a fine of 20 catties of copper. Zhang directly opened his mouth this time is a tenfold punishment, but the little emperor is still dissatisfied with this punishment: "Two hundred catties, too light, should be fined a thousand catties of copper, I know that the ---- of the fight is to be punished, make him repent, fine, fine a thousand catties of copper." ”

The fine of 1,000 catties of copper is unique in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, but this punishment is still too light for Zhao Xing. Because he trampled on the laws of the imperial court this time, he despised the court's treatment of the degraded officials, and directly let the degraded officials make public appearances in different places and recruit disciples.

This is a great crime, and it cannot be punished too much.

But the imperial court couldn't do without him, one was because the imperial court's financial situation was in dire straits, and the other was because the imperial court needed Zhao Xing to organize the "All Nations Come to the Dynasty" celebration, so the imperial court could only raise the stick high and drop it gently.

"Fines are 1,000 catties of copper, this matter rests on my head, I can't afford it", Xie Lin looked at the punishment of the imperial court and replied with a smile.

Su Shi and other degraded officials were not at the scene, only Li Qingzhao and Xie Lin were present, Zhao Xing threw the punishment out of the window disapplauded---- at that time, this group of people was wandering by the Zhangshui River in a small boat. Several nearby boats fished for them while surrounding the perimeter to keep watch. The decree was thrown out the window. Straight into the water, but no one picked up the boats on the left and right. But when he heard a plop, the decree sank into the river.

"In these years, I am not the only one who tramples on the law", Zhao Xing watched the holy decree float out of the window and fall into the river under the breeze, he said indifferently: "Zhang Xianggong has been implementing the new law for a few years. For example, although local magistrates in various places claim to implement the new law, a few of them have implemented ---- no one!

Hum. At that time, the new law caused thousands of miles of displaced people. Zhang Xianggong did not accept the lesson. How dare the magistrates make fun of their own land at will. ”

Xie Lin sighed: "Now." In officialdom, it has become the norm to disobey the yang and the yin. I've heard that Zhang Xianggong has recently driven everyone else away. I became a lone ...... Alas. Matters at the court. I can't tell. ”

Zhao Xing smiled and said nothing---- after the government's credit went bankrupt. The regime is equivalent to non-existent. The chapter "reform" broke all the rules. It also completely buried the government's credit. For something that has no credit. Evaluating it is all a waste of saliva costs. So Zhao Xing had nothing to say.

Xie Lin continued to ask, "What is Lord Zhao going to do?" I heard that Zhang Xianggong set up a lawsuit office. intends to further pursue and depreciate the Yuan party. At this juncture. Lord Zhao set off such a big momentum. Capture the ...... of Dali

Xie Lin is talking now. That's what he really wants. He is a member of the Yuan Party. The imperial court intended to continue the persecution of the local court ministers who reigned during the first year. Xie Lin feared that the witch hunt would further affect him. That's why he stretched out his hand to Zhao Xing. Hope to unite Zhao Xing. Resist the central government with localities.

Zhao Xing grinned. Two canine teeth on the side of his mouth are exposed. He smiled like a vicious wolf and said: "Who dares to say that I am the old party---- even Zhang Xianggong has to deny this." All the Great Song. I am the most active in implementing the new law. If I were the old party. Then all the merits of the Shaosheng years are the old party land. You said. Can the New Party allow it?

It's okay. The New Party is still counting on all the nations of our land to come to court, and I know that they will not dare to touch me. Back then, I cried and shouted and demanded that my name be listed on the Yuan Party monument, but Zhang Xiang gave me a scolding on my head and face, and I knew from then on that the New Party would never allow my new party banner to be shaken. ”

Xie Lin sighed and said, "Zhang Xianggong's authority is getting heavier and heavier, which is not a good thing. If it's too peaceful today, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiang will have more energy to toss. ”

"The world is peaceful? I don't think so! Xia people can't afford it, but we can afford it, as long as we drag it out for another two years---- it's not more, as long as two years, Western Xia will completely collapse", Zhao Xing replied coldly: "The front-line soldiers have fought a hundred battles and bloodshed, and they are finally going to pick the fruits of victory, we could have removed the pus of Western Xia once and for all, but let Zhang Xianggong stop it--- do you think that the Western Xia, who has been relieved, will not come to invade the Great Song Dynasty again?" Ha, when will a dog change its habit of eating?

When the Xia army comes again, the people of Huanqing will have to relive what happened back then, but perhaps, when they are about to drag down Western Xia, someone will come out to stop them. With that, we start the next cycle. ”

Zhao Xing said that the ground is a deep truth, Xie Lin has also been in Shaanxi, he knows the situation in Shaanxi. After Zhang and Zhao Xing, Fan Chun and other land governance, Shaanxi gradually maintained an upward posture in the war, while the Western Xia was going downhill, even if Lu Huiqing, a big corrupt official, tried his best to help, the Xia people eventually inevitably collapsed economically, the people were not able to make a living, and the soldiers had no weapons......

At this time, Zhang hurriedly accepted the Tangut people's request for peace, if nothing else, because he was estranged from the little emperor, and he needed a victory to prove his success in order to drive out those who threatened his phase. He succeeded, and he became the only prime minister.

Now, he needs another "all nations to come to court" to push his governing career to the top, for this reason, even if Zhao Xing rides on his head to and pee, Zhang can only endure it.

Zhao Xing shook the small fan lightly and casually analyzed the situation in Western Xia. Li Qingzhao asked beside him: "Uncle Zhao, don't the ministers of the court understand the truth you just said?" If they have an understanding, why should they toss? ”

Zhao Xing asked indifferently: "Do you think Zhang Xianggong is smart or not?" ”

Xie Lin smiled silently, watching Zhao Xing ask and answer questions with the smart woman.

Li Qingzhao replied: "Zhang Xiang's articles in the past were merry and shrewd. He himself had been in Shaanxi and was good at military affairs. Thinking that when he was an official in the Privy Council, everyone thought that he was a capable official and capable of doing things, how could he be stupid? He wants to be stupid, those who can't pass the Jinshi exam won't be able to survive? ”

Zhao Xing shook the small fan. The wind of the fan made a slight sound, and he continued: "Zhang Xianggong is indeed a smart person. And a rare smart person in this era. However, why did he not hesitate to destroy the country and his family for the sake of party fighting? What he is doing today looks stupid and stupid, for example: Could it be that Zhang Xianggong couldn't think of pursuing the Xia people while he was victorious--- I tell you, it's because Zhang Xianggong has no feudal consciousness. ”

Li Qingzhao blinked and didn't wait for her to ask again. Zhao Xing continued: "What is feudal consciousness, it is domain consciousness. Under the influence of feudal consciousness, the concept of feudal land is different from that of serfs, and the connotation and extension of feudal land are far broader than those of slaves.

For example, a feudal landlord, he said that I not only include himself, but also his compatriots who live with him on that land, as well as his nation, companions, relatives, friends, and other competitors---- which is called team consciousness and collective consciousness.

But a slave spoke to me. He contains only himself and nothing else.

With a feudal view of our Great Song Dynasty, this Great Song Dynasty should not only include the New Party. also include the old party; It includes both the gentry and the common people. Therefore, if he is a feudal of the Great Song Dynasty, he should consider the interests of his own party and the interests of the hostile party when interacting with the Tangut people. Because the people who live in this land are one, and none of them can be left behind.

And a serf, he is only the overseer of the big slave owner, his own interests are the first place, as long as his own interests are protected, he will not care about the plight of others. Therefore, the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family mean nothing to him, because it is not his own country, his own family, --- slaves, and the emphasis is on working for the slave owner without sleep and food. How can you take care of your family.

Do you think a serf will know how to form a party? When their enemies are too strong. They may co-opt some people and instigate others to fight with them. And once they succeed, their ego is at stake. He could not tolerate others sharing the fruits of victory with him. For example, the new party now, when they have no enemies, they will fight among themselves, and this is the serf consciousness and slave consciousness.

Zhang Xianggong is not unintelligent, but he can't realize that the interests of the Great Song Dynasty are a whole, and he doesn't realize that he should not damage the overall interests of the Great Song Dynasty by fighting for the party---- no, he doesn't have this concept, he doesn't know that the concept of the Great Song Dynasty has the connotation of the new party and extends the old party! He did not have a feudal education since he was a child! On the contrary, in the atmosphere of serf culture, he only knew that he had to constantly compete for the status of the first and second person in the world, so he became a lone man---- which was inevitable due to his cultural heritage. Under this inevitable morality, he did not need to take care of the people and the people in his peace with Western Xia, but only needed to take care of himself. ”

Xie Lin's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but interject: "This kind of statement is also fresh---- extension, connotation, these two words, think about it, it's very tasteful." ”

Zhao Xing sighed and continued: "In comparison, I still like gentlemen, although most gentlemen are also serfs, but their hearts are much broader, so what they do inadvertently conforms to the concept of the team---- they can tolerate people." Therefore, as their local compatriots and fellow party members, they are happy.

Slightly less than expected, they are still tolerant of their enemies, and their benevolence is too widespread. ”

When Zhao Xing said this, he stopped shaking the fan, and he said leisurely: "Originally, my Great Song Dynasty was a gentleman's politics, under the spirit of commerce and the spirit of the republic, we may bring everyone a sense of teamwork, but the counterattack of a group of serfs against commercial civilization has stopped this change, when can we correct all this...... Under the gardener's scissors, freedom is the enemy. When will we be free of thought without gardeners? ”

Xie Lin was in a cold sweat when he heard this, it turned out that this "new party cadre" was an out-and-out old party in his bones, and he was in the remote Lingnan, and he never forgot to fight back.

But Xie Lin admires Zhao Xing more. Because Confucianism pays attention to respecting teachers and valuing education, which teacher doesn't want his students to follow to the ends of the earth without regrets like Zhao Xing, because of this love, Xie Lin thought about it and decided to ignore what Zhao Xing just said, and went straight to his topic: "Lord Zhao, this year I have been putting out fires everywhere, seeing that the turmoil in Jinghu is about to subside, my Jinghu Lake is deserted, and there is no big production. If you want to develop again, you have to rely on Lord Zhao to work together. ”

Li Qingzhao is a smart girl. Every day, when she goes in and out of the official offices, she hears the meaning of Xie Lin's words---- the so-called "hand in hand", these two words are the key.

She was not suitable to intervene in matters involving officialdom conspiracy, so she rolled her eyes, immediately jumped up, and shouted in her mouth: "I'm about to starve to death, why hasn't Mei Sanniang's fish belly been done yet." I'll go out and have a look. ”

Li Qingzhao got out of the cabin, Zhao Xing gently put the fan in his hand on the table, and asked frankly: "What does Ying Lao need?" ”

Xie Lin dodged and replied: "Lord Zhao's hands are really long, I heard that you have been meddling in the affairs of Guangxi for a long time, and now you have reached out to Fujian." I don't have as much ability as you, Jinghu South Road has just stabilized, and I want to send troops to Jinghu North Road next year. It just so happened that I heard that you have a bit of power in Huainan, and there are many subordinate officials in Huangzhou and Yangzhou who are your old people...... Can Lord Zhao help me? ”

Zhao Xing replied calmly: "My firearms bureau has expanded its capacity this year, and the annual production capacity of fast guns has reached 10,000 guns, and the daily output of cannons is about ten." Furthermore. As we all know, the gunpowder formula of our Guangnan land is different from that used by the imperial court, and the explosion is more powerful. Lord Xie wants a gun and a cannon. If you want gunpowder, just take the money. ”

Xie Lin smiled and turned his face away, looked away, and replied, "If I were rich, I would still tell you this...... Come on, I've heard that the musketeers are a money-eating tiger. Training a musket team is enough to train ten times as many forbidden troops. I can't afford it, but if you can sell me some grenades from Quang Nam, I'll need them. ”

Xie Lin was asking about the possibility of Zhao Xing uniting with each other, and when Zhao Xing talked about gunpowder and ordnance with the other party, he was vaguely telling the other party that he could join forces with Xie Lin militarily. But Xie Lin rejected the suggestion. Whatever the reason for refusal, his message was clear: he didn't want to build a strong army like Zhao Xing. As long as you have enough soldiers on hand.

Zhao Xing picked up the small fan from the table again. Xie Lin saw Zhao Xing lazy, and he hurriedly opened his hole card: "I heard that the imperial court will take the imperial examination next year." The two Guangxi and Guangxi should specially organize students to go to Beijing to catch up with the examination. I, Jinghu and Liangguang, both belong to the place of fingering, once these students pass the exam, they will always return to their hometowns to serve as officials, I want to join forces with Lord Zhao to carry out activities in the capital, so that each of them can get a good official. Xie Lin wants to work hard from "Wen". Usually, the "land of finger shooting" local tributes and queens rarely work in the court for Hanlin and pavilions, and Xie Lin wants all the fresh candidates of Lianghu to return to their hometowns and enrich the magistrates.

The students in the Jinghu area have been taught by Xie Lin, and Xie Lin wants to let his students take charge of local government affairs in the name of teachers, so that he can respond to all calls in the two lakes area.

The literati always come up with a way to come up with a crepe.

Zhao Xing slapped the table and said happily: "Ying Lao and I have thought of a piece, and I don't have enough magistrates in the two Guangxi regions, and I am thinking about going to the capital to do activities, so that they can return to their hometowns to serve as officials after the exam, Ying Lao also has this meaning, and it just so happens that the two of us can join forces." ”

Xie Lin turned his face and said formally: "I have a few fellow villagers and old people in the official department, what do you need help with Lord Zhao?" ”

This is a bright hole card, Zhao Xing also showed his hole card: "I also have some acquaintances in the Ministry of Officials, Su Sanzhang (Su Zhe) also left some people in the household department, and I am also very familiar with the people of these two departments." In addition, Fan Ye and Li Chang once planned with me about the Jiaonan Grand Canal and the minting of new money, and the household servants and Ji who were officials at that time knew me. Ying always knows, I am usually called a money bag, and the household officials often like to deal with me, and we get along well. ”

Neither side talked about the specific manpower, Zhao Xing told Xie Lin: You are suppressing bandits in Jinghu, or Jinghu needs funds from the imperial court, I can help.

Xie Lin nodded: "That's it, great!" I heard that Shan Gong is with you, and he has just finished renovating the river leading from Guangzhou to Dali, and I can borrow this person. ”

What Xie Lin meant by this was that I plan to apply to the imperial court for a sum of money for the purpose of repairing the Jinghu River, can you help me?

Zhao Xing agreed: "Shan Ye is too withdrawn, he has been living diligently on the river, in the past few years, I have been thinking that it is time to promote him, I think he is very suitable to be a governor." ”

Xie Lin promised: "Let him be the governor of Chenzhou, where Yizhang is located...... Isn't your university going to be built in Yizhang, and it must be proper to have him supervise it. It's just that the officials need us to work together. ”

Zhao Xing asked tentatively: "Lord Xie, my strongest force is actually in the Privy Council, don't you plan to do something in the Privy Council?" ”

Zhao Xing was asking the other side about the possibility of military alliance. Xie Lin shook his head: "I estimate that in the Privy Council, Zhang Xiang has the greatest power. Now the Xia people are suing for peace. The world is too peaceful, and I guess that the next round of the box army and the forbidden army will be gradually abolished. Zhang Xiang can free up his hands and clean up those of us Yuan Dang members. Xie was already very satisfied with being able to pacify Jinghu before leaving office, and you are only able to calm Dali, and there are many places to use troops. Zhang Xiang can ignore Guangdong, and I ...... Impossible! ”

After listening to Xie Lin's words, Zhao Xing slowly danced his fan and sighed gloomily: "Look at this song and dance to level the Great Song Dynasty, look at this prosperous era that covers his mouth, who knows that there are many hidden dangers."

No one! Because in this era, the literati had already seen the gardener's scissors hanging over their heads, so they were smart, they consciously aligned themselves with the gardener's ideas---- they lived well, because they were so worthless. And those who are strong souls. It is the most acerbic irony of this era, and it is also the greatest compassion for the Emperor and Song Dynasty.

Whoop ---- strong soul, there are still a few left in this era. Wang Yansuo is dead, Liu Zhi is dead, and Lu Dafang is ...... Who else is alive and continues to speak?

Everyone is drunk, Lord Xie, you don't know. I want to cry now! ”

Xie Lin rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically: "Now that the disasters everywhere have subsided, and the Xia thieves have bowed their heads, how much can the imperial court subtract from these two items every year...... Lord Zhao, I didn't mean you, once the financial situation of the imperial court eases, you and I can no longer do whatever we want......

You said that the Emperor and Song Dynasty are full of hidden dangers, where are there hidden dangers? North: Empress Dowager Liang was poisoned. Minister Liang Yikui was also killed by the poisoned Empress Dowager Liang. The Liao State did not want to quarrel with our Great Song Dynasty anymore; South, you are the best against the countries of the South Seas. I hear you are demanding that trade go to trade, and tribute to tribute. In this way, the imperial court only has trade benefits for Nanyang, and the tribute rewards are all based on the court's kindness.

We're spending a lot less, but we're getting bigger. I also heard that you opened five copper mines, three silver mines, and an oil mine in Boni, which are still under construction, and after these mines are built, my Dasong Dynasty will no longer lack copper, iron, and oil, and my income will only rise.

This is the peaceful and prosperous world! Although Zhang Xianggong is arbitrary, Zhang Xianggong's temperament is not bad, he has been alone for six years, and he refuses to be an official and private; The fourth son even Dengke, Duji Ziyuan (Zhang Yuan) tasted as a school lang (from the eighth grade), and the rest were all appointed as states and counties with Mu Dongquan, and there was no obvious one so far.

I thought that Zhang Xiang did not seek personal gain, and this person could still be regarded as a capable minister, but his personality was narrow-minded...... Well, that's what you said: not knowing the interests of the group. As a prime minister, he must be broad-minded, so Zhang Xiang is not a good prime minister. But although Zhang Xiang is mean, I still think that the government of my emperor and Song Dynasty is not so bad that it is incorrigible, after all, the rules of the court are still there. Now that the chapter is in full swing, we have to lie dormant and wait. But Zhang Xiang is still old after all, if he retreats, we still have a chance to bring the government back on the right path. ”

Xie Lin said, stared at Zhao Xing again, and said with burning eyes: "I look all over the world, after the chapter is gone, there are only three people who can have the talent of Zaifu, Lord Zhao is broad-minded, can endure people and can't bear it, and the means of making money are first-class, especially rare is still very young." Being young is an advantage, and at the age of Lord Zhao, there is no energy efficiency comparison among the hundred officials. I expected that the departed people would come to the cabinet in the future, and I firmly believed that this day would come sooner or later, and at that time, it would depend on the means of the adults. ”

Zhao Xing's eyes rolled and he smiled.

Xie Lin pointed out a possibility, Zhao Xing is now operating in the Liangguang area like an iron bucket, and the imperial court will not easily move Zhao Xing, but if you want to break Zhao Xing's power and secession, there is only one possibility: let him be promoted to the household department, or give him the position of prime minister.

In ancient China, no one could refuse the high position of the prime minister, as long as the imperial court shook the prime minister's big seal to tempt Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing could only leave the Guangzhou sphere of influence, stick out his tongue, and happily enter the court to serve as the prime minister. In this way, the better Zhao Xing manages Liangguang, the more beneficial it will be to the imperial court.

It is difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to have warlord secession, the officials of the Song Dynasty are relatively self-disciplined, even if the fierceness of the Zhang, there is still this strict moral self-discipline, in this case, the imperial court really wants to oppress Zhao Xing, even if Zhao Xing resists, few of his officials can refuse the temptation of the capital.

Xie Lin saw this, and he reminded Zhao Xing that no matter how well the latter managed the two Guangzhous, no matter how much the military and political hands were not relaxed, it would be in vain. It is better to unite the literati and create a kind of poet's momentum, while lying dormant and waiting for the opportunity to set things right.

Perhaps, Xie Lin, a cunning and cunning guy, saw Zhao Xingdi's advantages, so he made an investment in advance, planning to join forces with Zhao Xing to resist the central government locally.

This is the habitual thinking and habitual means of ancient scholars, but Xie Lin misestimated Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing had already figured out Xie Lin's purpose in his heart, he smiled faintly, and said casually: "I received news yesterday that the people of Fujian were in turmoil, and the soldiers I went out of the camp to practice were attacked by the people. ”

Xie Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" What is the situation? ”

Zhao Xing shook his small fan lightly and said casually: "It was my fifty musketeers who went out of the camp to train, plus three hundred and fifty auxiliaries, they were attacked by five hundred mutants, and the children won a big victory, only one casualty was killed, and more than two hundred corpses were left at the scene. ”

Xie Lin felt a chill in his heart, he knew that Zhao Xing suddenly jumped to the Lu Huiqing family, and he was telling him that although the two were allied, Zhao Xing would not let go of the Lu Huiqing family in the face of the other party.

This attitude is also a warning. Zhao Xing's "Gambling on Poetry and Wine" was famous in the Song Dynasty, and the scholar couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, hoping that he would have such a student. But Zhao Xing's Jianwei must be repaid is also famous in the Great Song Dynasty. It is a joy to be his friend, but it is never happy to be his enemy.

Xie Lin understood this, he was silent for a long time, then changed the topic and asked: "I heard that Lord Zhao once said in Huaizhou that the six arts of the gentleman have a new understanding, and today the sages are teaching, isn't Lord Zhao going to say something?" ”

Xie Lin's words were to make his position clear, indicating that he would no longer interfere with Zhao Xing's revenge on Lu Huiqing, and he would not even ask about the losses of the Lu family.

Zhao Xing comprehended the meaning of the other party, and he was just about to open his mouth to answer, when Jiangbian suddenly remembered a sound of silk and bamboo, and after a while, a clear voice sounded: "Is it Zhao Daguan's boat?" Slave Liu Jingniang, meet Lord Zhao on the road, can you board the boat to visit? ”
