242 The Emperor's sore feet
After Li Buqi went to the Wende Hall to salute, he asked the emperor if he had made a decision on the establishment of the police department, and Zhao Zhen said: "I have read your recital, and there is indeed some truth. It's just that all the secretaries said that the functions of the police department overlap with the existing departments, and it is really unnecessary to have a separate department. That's right, Chen Qing. ”
Chen Zhizhong said: "Exactly. The functions of the Police Department overlap with those of the local government, the Privy Council, the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial Historical Tower, so it is really not appropriate to set up another police department to waste money and food. ”
Zhao Zhen looked at Li Buqi: "Don't give up, you say that's the case?" ”
Li Buqi understood that the emperor's meaning was "rush me and slap them in the face". Seeing that the emperor even made a look, saying that he would silently support him behind his back, Li Buqi scolded in his heart: Damn, this is the leader!
Li Buqi said while greeting Zhao Zhen's ancestor in his heart: "If the prince says something, the lower officials dare not agree. Can the lower official say a few things, and how about the minister make a final decision after listening to it? ”
Chen Zhizhong then nodded. Li Buqi said: "It is rumored in the Shaanxi army that Han Qi is stationed in Jingyuan, and someone with a dagger enters the bedroom at night to lift the tent, Han Qi asks: "Who, what are you doing?" The man said, "Come and kill the counsel." Han Qi asked, "Who sent it?" The man said, "Zhang Xianggong (Zhang Yuan) of Western Xia." Han Qifu pillowed: "Take the rest of the head." The assassin couldn't bear it, so he only took Han Qi's gold and took it out, and Han Qi didn't ask about it the next day. However, a gatekeeper soon presented the gold belt that the Assassin had taken from him yesterday, and it turned out that the Assassin was carrying the gold belt to publicize the matter in order to shake the morale of the officers and soldiers. Xia Shumi, you should know about this, right? ”
Xia Zhu's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, but he still nodded.
He couldn't put his head down. Han Qi's matter was circulating in the Shaanxi army, he naturally knew it, and the emperor could know it as soon as he inquired, and he didn't dare to hide it in this matter. What's more, he has a big piece of shit on his buttocks, for fear of provoking Li Buqi and lifting it out for him.
Li Buqi looked at Chen Zhi and the others, and they had to nod their heads to indicate that they had heard of it. This matter is usually used to show the courage of the literati, so it is widely circulated, and they dare not deny it, but they did not expect that Li Buqi used it today to demonstrate the necessity of establishing a police force, and he also shot himself in the foot.
Li Buqi continued: "It's just enough to let the enemy occasionally take advantage of loopholes, but repeatedly letting the enemy take advantage of loopholes can only make the enemy laugh at them." At the beginning, the imperial court detained the families of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who recognized the thieves as their fathers, in Suizhou to contain the two thieves. In the second year of Qingli, Yuan and Hao sneaked into the spies, and they robbed everyone with just a piece of paper, and the people were ignorant. What is infuriating is that when their families arrived at the border, the two led horses and chariots to meet them, and deliberately played loud drums for a long time. Xia Guan thought that he was laughing at me for the incompetence of the Great Song Mansion. Xia Guan heard that every time the Xixia people mentioned this matter, they laughed at my Great Song Dynasty, thinking that my Great Song Dynasty could be bullied. ”
Even though Zhao Zhen has always been good-tempered, he shook his head and sighed when he heard that this incident had caused the Great Song Dynasty to be despised by Western Xia.
Li Buqi said again: "Besides, a group of palace people were released in His Majesty's palace, and several people were bought by Yuan Hao, so that the internal and external affairs were known to Yuan Hao; There are also Liao and Xia spies who have been collecting intelligence in Bianliang for several years without the court noticing; The infiltration of Maitreya religion everywhere and the inability of the local government to stop it is a lesson from the past. ”
"Talk about what's in front of you. In this Beizhou Rebellion, Zhang Deyi's expropriation and tyranny can be regarded as an introduction, if not the reason. His evil deeds are so obvious, why doesn't the Yushitai have a copy of him? As long as he is punished and dismissed from office three or four months earlier, how can there be rampant thieves? Moreover, when the Beizhou Rebellion occurred, if a strong army had gone to the vicinity of Beizhou early to suppress and disperse the Maitreya Sect that had gathered in Beizhou, why would Beizhou have fought for 50 days to take it? ”
Seeing that Chen Zhizhong was about to speak, Li Buqi hurriedly continued: "There is one more thing. The minister listened to the people who came back from traveling in the West and said that the West also has silk, and now they still buy the silk of my Great Song Dynasty, but their silk is not as good as that of the Great Song Dynasty. But originally the West did not produce silk, and their silkworms were stolen from our Central Plains! ”
Zhao Zhen now has Li Buqi and a group of nobles who often advocate in front of him, and he also knows that sea trade is a profitable business, and silk trade is one of the highlights.
"Many years ago, two Western monks came to our Central Plains in the name of preaching, and after defrauding the silkworm seeds, they hid them in the holes of their canes and brought them back to Daqin, and since then, there has been silk in the land of Daqin. Fortunately, there are no mulberry trees in Daqin, so the silk is not as good as my Great Song Dynasty, and the richest people still want to buy the silk of my Great Song Dynasty. But since we can get Daqin's apple tree, won't the people of Daqin want to get our mulberry tree? And I still have a lot of good things in the Great Song Dynasty, such as tea, which is not available outside the Central Plains. Also, my Great Song Dynasty's iron-smelting technique has just made a major breakthrough, and if these technologies fall into the hands of the barbarians, they can produce more swords. ”
The biggest characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs is cowardice. Maybe you can be indifferent to Li Buqi's previous words, but when you hear that the barbarians may produce more weapons, they are all trembling.
Xia Zhu said: "In this case, please make this iron-smelting technique can only be used in the government's own smelting field, and it must not be passed on." ”
Li Buqi said: "The lower officials think that it is really difficult if there is no special department to supervise this matter. For example, the craftsmen from Daqin offered two good weapons, and the lower officials thought that they were easy to be copied by Liao and Xia, so it would be much more convenient for the Liao and Xia armies to attack the city again, so the order must be strictly kept secret. Who knew that last year, there was a two-rank jinshi who had just served in the test field, and in order to satisfy his desire to show off, he used his authority to not only draw the graphics of those two weapons, but also show them to him in the same year. Fortunately, the robber department heard about this and arrested the official. It's just that the rumors have leaked, and it's still difficult to know whether Liaoxia knows about it. ”
Li Buqi easily killed a subordinate who could only chirp crookedly and did not do business, and completely frightened Zhao Zhen and a group of ministers. Zhao Zhen immediately said to Li Buqi: "In the future, we must let the Arrest and Theft Division pay attention to the leakage." ”
Li Buqi said: "This is a matter for the Arrest and Robbery Division, and I also ask Your Majesty to give an edict to the Imperial City Division." Moreover, the minister said again, in fact, the function of the Arrest and Theft Division is not here, and it is a bit unjustifiable to do so. ”
Li Buqi then continued: "Some things seem small, but they are very important. The local government, the Privy Council, the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial History Observatory have their own focuses, and the affairs are complicated, one may not be able to manage these trivial matters, and the other may not know how to manage them. Therefore, it is necessary for a yamen who has a special position and specializes in this matter to manage these things. My Great Song Dynasty territory is so big, Your Majesty can't rule the world to follow the clouds, you need to be able to know the truth of the people, at least to prevent the emergence of officials like Zhang Deyi who bring disaster to the country and the people, so there must be a channel that can reflect the people's feelings in various places to Your Majesty. ”
Li Buqi repeatedly used Zhang Deyi as a negative example, and Xia Zhu peeked at Zhao Zhen, and the anger in Zhao Zhen's eyes became more and more intense. He couldn't help but pay more attention to Li Buqi - this sore foot is accurate!
At that time, Xia Zhu and Chen Zhizhong both defended Zhang Deyi on the grounds that "the dynasty does not kill the scholars" as the reason to protect Zhang Deyi, and the emperor who wanted to kill Zhang Deyi had to let Dali Temple interrogate Zhang Deyi and convict him repeatedly.
With the resolute unanimity of civil officials on the issue of "the dynasty does not kill scholars", Xia Zhu thought that Zhang Deyi was the most allocated to Qiongya, but who knew that things would take a big turn later. Before Zhang Deyi was sent to Bianliang, it was found out that Zhang Deyi had surrendered to Wang Ze and accepted Wang Zefeng's official position.
After getting this news, Zhao Zhen's anger can be imagined. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can tolerate the incompetence of officials, and can tolerate the corruption of officials, doesn't he want your officials to be a little loyal, but now that there is not even a trace of loyalty, what will the emperor think?
The ministers of Zai Deyi were all beaten red because of the previous protection of Zhang Deyi, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, so Zhang Deyi was beheaded as soon as he arrived in the capital. However, the scars in the emperor's heart seem to have not calmed down, and Xia Zhu, who is so good at figuring out the emperor's psychology, can already feel that the emperor's attitude towards the civil officials has undergone a subtle change.
Li Bu gave up the choice to keep poking the scars in the emperor's heart at this time, and the timing was too good. Xia Zhu, who was familiar with Zhao Zhen, knew that the emperor had an evil fire in his belly that couldn't come out, and at this time, he was sure that whoever touched the mold would die, so he decided to admit it. After making up his mind, he glanced at Chen Zhizhong, Wen Yanbo and the others again.
Now he hopes that Chen Zhizhong will be on the same page as the emperor, maybe the emperor will take down Chen Zhizhong and replace him as the prime minister.
PS: The robbed stone bump asked when the artillery would come out, and the responsible one said that it was going to be soon, and there was going to be a war on Tamna Island immediately, and the musket would be used immediately, and the next artillery would come out logically.
Book friends 170208144911816 say that it is not interesting not to rebel in the Song Dynasty, but in the future, it will drive the emperor crazy and seize the throne, which can be regarded as a kind of rebellion.
