Text Chapter 18: Zhou Cong is not as good as Sui Zhaoshen

Soon, many officials of Xihai County jointly signed a petition to impeach Daliang for Cao Zheng and Daliang for Li Zhen.

King Zhao opened the song and saw "...... The two are greedy and excessive, in the fish and meat township, the government is bribed, the official is bribed, and the king is bullied. After remembering the meritorious heroes, and sincerely repenting, I am willing to offer gold silk to help the country. Ask for dismissal and transfer of knighthood (i.e., giving up the title to someone else in the family). If the two of them can't be the benevolence of the monarch in the future, and do more injustice, they will have their own heaven to reap the ......", and they were suddenly angry.

After receiving such a song, he was so angry that the king directly threw the song to the ground: "Lin Fang! Descend on Sun Fu! ”

"Your Majesty. Please calm your anger, Zhou Cong is young and can't be on the top of the body, and he still needs to be trained. ”

"How old is that? Will you play with me? ”

"Your Majesty is angry." Gongsun Fu picked up the song that was thrown on the ground, "Let's look at this passage in the song." Here's the phrase 'many unrighteousness'. ”

"Gongsun Fu, that Zhou Cong was only a county magistrate, and he was only twenty-five years old. Dare to guess the riddle with me! ”

"Your Majesty, it is a great blessing for the country to have this talent. Your Majesty ......"

"Enough! The great fortune of the country? It's the great fortune of Fuchun country! A great talent who can be bought by a singer! I don't want such a talent! ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Gongsun Fu hurriedly bowed without a crown.

"Say, what benefit have you received from him?"

"Your Majesty. That Zhou Cong was so poor that he didn't even have a donkey, and he lived in the place where the officials lived. Where does he have any benefit to Weichen? ”

"You want to pass on the mantle! Recognize a disciple in the officialdom and retire for the elderly! ”

"Don't dare! Don't dare! Don't dare! As he spoke, he snorted his forehead on the gold bricks.

"Lin Fang? Don't you kowtow on the empty bricks? ”

Lin Fang was so frightened that he also knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave doesn't dare!" Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't dare! ”

"Don't dare! Don't you dare! How many people have you co-opted in my Dajin officialdom? Gongsun Fu, if you change someone else, will you speak for him? ”

"Your Majesty. It's really a rare talent, and even the old minister can't help but like it. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Fu was so stubborn and did not back down because he was angry, King Zhao thought about Zhou Cong's usual political achievements and behavior, and his anger disappeared by half: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, the king." Only then did the two of them stand up.

"Sit down."

Gongsun Fu then went to kneel on the mat and sat down. Lin Fang returned to stand behind King Zhao.

"It is said that private morality is the greatest power of politicians. Yes, there are few officials who can guarantee honesty now, but he actually accepted Sun Yu's benefits, and he couldn't go unpunished and transferred him to Shangjun to be a long history. ”

"The king."

"How is Han De doing?"

"Your Majesty, Captain Han, he ...... He was sick. ”

"This rubbish! For the sake of a woman, he drove away his staff member Mr. Feng. It's good now? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Sui Zhaoshen ......"

"What's wrong? Sui Zhaoshen has a set of financial management, and now the country is difficult, and it is good to have such talents. ”

"However, the old minister still feels ......"

"No, no. Transfer him to Beijing and let him be a man in Hongnong's Mansion. ”

Who is Sui Zhaoshen? Originally, it was just a side branch of Huayin Bo's family. When he bought for his family, he was different from Zhou Cong, and he always secretly handed over the kickback to the housekeeper's son. The rest of the money went to drink and gamble, and the people in the clan hated him. Later, the housekeeper's son-in-law was arrested, and he also missed the trap, so he asked him to change his surname to Sui.

So he had no choice but to join the army, but since he was from the Huayin Bo family, it was naturally not good for him to go to the front. Given a job as a warehouse manager, this time he didn't miss an accident because of drinking, and he didn't get into trouble because of gambling. It's like an ordinary person who takes a serious errand when he is on duty, goes home to drink a little wine and gamble two handfuls of money. Because of his outstanding work, he was recommended by the festival to be the county order, and during the county order, the people of Dasuo hid their household registration and checked the acres of large households, which increased the number of households in the county's control by two percent. was discovered by King Zhao and promoted to be a rent-seeker, responsible for inspecting taxes and taxes.

Now he has been transferred to an official position in Kyosato. Now I am full of ambition and is about to go to the peak of my life.

After receiving the letter of appointment, Sui Zhaoshen was so excited that he couldn't help himself, first he couldn't help but rejoice and gave the general government envoy money, invited people to a banquet, sent them away, and then sent them away. Then he went back happily and called a few lovers who accompanied him on a business trip and his new lover who had made friends in the local area to celebrate.

"Sui Lang, being an official in Beijing is no better than being in a place. To be able to understand the king's mind better, I inquired for Sui Lang, and Sui Bo's daughter was in the palace as Baolin (a low-level concubine, belonging to the eighty-one imperial maid), who was Sui Lang's cousin. If the two brothers and sisters join forces, one in the palace and the other in the court, then they can be invincible. ”

This is the widow of a local deceased Daliang forester, a lady who filled the house, and was widowed at the age of 30. She was naturally unwilling, and she was even more afraid that her son, who inherited the family property, would not recognize her as a stepmother, so she doted on her stepson in every way. As a result, the child became lawless, lingering on fireworks before he was crowned, and was good at gambling.

Seeing that this child was about to be abolished, Sui Zhaoshen came to inspect and went to the casino for recreation. The third son of Nalin (the first two brothers died) saw that he was a skilled gambler, so he wanted to apprentice. That Sui Zhaoshen saw that he was handsome, and he taught him a few tricks when he looked pleasing to the eye, and Lin Sangongzi led him to Fireworks Lane again, and compared him again. Now I admired Sui Zhaoshen even more and wanted to give him some gifts. But he never thought of being taught a lesson by Sui Zhaoshen: "Fun is just a pastime, who is a plaything like you?" A manly man can't soar, but he squandered his ancestors' property, how can he see his ancestors underground? "This is even more impressive. He was brought to his home and treated as a master. When Mrs. Lin saw that someone could educate the child well, she simply let the child recognize him as a godfather.

Since it is an in-law family, when Sui Zhaoshen was on an errand here, did he keep running to the Lin family in the name of teaching his righteous son. came and went, and Sui Zhaoshen's lover list had Mrs. Lin, the highest-status and longest-standing one.

"Sister Lin means to let my cousin and I meet first? But the foreign official befriended the palace people......"

"Someone else has something. Sui Lang is Sui Baolin's cousin, and the brother and sister meet each other, and the name is justified. ”

"However, my surname has been changed to Sui."

"This time, that time. That Zhou Changshi was robbed of the genealogy by Zhou Bo back then, and now he has served as two Changshi, isn't the genealogy also re-recorded? He also asked him to pick a few juniors from the clan to be his entourage. ”

"I hope Pauline will recognize me as an older brother."
