Two hundred and forty-three The Emperor's attitude

Sure enough, as Xia Zhu expected, after Li Buqi finished his statement, before Chen Zhizhong could speak, the emperor asked first: "Zhuqing, these things that Buqi said are shocking, I don't know if you have any better way?" ”

This tendency is obvious. Xia Zhu swept his eyes back and forth, and saw that Wen Yanbo also shrunk his neck and lowered his head, and it seemed that he was also pretending to be a quail.

Pang Ji, who had just returned to Beijing, stood up at this time and said: "This is a dereliction of duty by the ministers, please punish Your Majesty." It's just that the minister doesn't believe that the establishment of a police department can completely eliminate these things. If there is something unfinished and there is an additional division, then the court is afraid that the money and food will not be able to support it. ”

This is the language trap. Li Buqi immediately choked back: "Vice Hub's words are unfair. The establishment of the Privy Council in this dynasty often has the clamoring of the forbidden army and the Xiang army, and even the war with the Western Xia is in the north, is it necessary to abolish the Privy Council? The reason why the minister asked to set up a police officer is because this matter is a matter of national security and the safety of the world. And the matters involved by the police are very easy to turn into elbows and armpits, and it is impossible to deal with them slowly. Moreover, when it comes to privacy, several companies slowly collude the results, but I am afraid that the news has long been publicized by everyone. ”

Pang Ji stopped talking. Zhao Zhen immediately asked again: "Zhuqing, what do you think?" ”

Chen Zhizhong saw that Wen Yanbo, Ding Du, and Gao Ruone didn't mean to speak, and he didn't dare to fight with the emperor, so he had to retreat to the second: "Letting officials and martial artists monitor the scholar is harmful to Sven, and the scholar cannot be monitored if he is not guilty." ”

The emperor looked at Li Buqi, and Li Buqi immediately asked: "May I ask Xianggong, shouldn't Zhang Deyi be monitored?" ”

It's Zhang Deyi again! Chen Zhizhong's eyes were about to burst into flames, but he was really helpless about it.

At this time, Li Buqi added another fire: "The prime minister should know that the gentleman is frank and open, and he can't say anything to others." In that case, I don't know what Xianggong is worried about? ”

Chen Zhizhong said: "The villain has nothing to do, but I am afraid that he will take advantage of the situation to bully the doctor." ”

Li Buqi smiled and said: "Didn't Xianggong carefully read the recital of the lower officials? The lower officials have repeatedly emphasized that the police department should be directly under the command of His Majesty like the Imperial City Division. Don't you still believe in Your Majesty? ”

In fact, Chen Zhizhong hated this article the most. A yamen with such great power is directly under the control of the emperor, that is, it greatly expands the imperial power and weakens the rights of scholars, so they can label Li Buqi a "traitor" again.

But hatred in his heart turned to hatred, and it happened that Zhang Deyi surrendered to the Maitreya Sect, and no one dared to sprinkle salt on the emperor's wounds anymore. Chen Zhizhong also shut up in the end.

Seeing that several Zaizhi chose to shut up under their own coercion, Zhao Zhen's mood was a little better, and he tried to calm his voice as calmly as possible: "In this case, Zhu Qing thinks that this police division should be set up?" ”

At this point, who would dare to say that there should be no police department? Chen Zhizhong saw that no one else spoke, but he was the prime minister but couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This matter involves a lot, and please order the courtiers to discuss it in detail." ”

With Chen Zhizhong in front, Xia Zhu and others also said casually: "The minister thinks this is a safe policy." ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes obviously brought some anger, and he said coldly: "Okay, then let everyone discuss it." ”

At this time, Li Buqi said again: "If the police department is established, please ask Your Majesty to consider appointing Bao Zheng, the transfer envoy of Hebei Road, and Bao Xiren will be promoted." ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it and said, "Well, it's really hard not to give up." I also think that Bao Qing is virtuous and upright, and will definitely be able to do this job. ”

Listening to Li Buqi's recommendation of Bao Xiren, Chen Zhizhong secretly scolded Li Buqi for being good at his abacus.

Bao Xiren is a civil official, and he is also a well-known iron-faced and selfless person. Li Buqi's recommendation for him to promote the police department can be said to be the expectation of the public, and he can immediately neutralize some people who eat melons. It's not easy to scold Li Buqi for being selfish in this matter.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Buqi actually had another layer of plans in it. Bao Zheng's virtuous prescription is exactly what he didn't say, but relatively speaking, his talent is a little worse, such a person can deceive him and seize the real power of the police department under the cover of Bao Zheng. Moreover, Bao Zheng's jealous and hateful personality and education make it very likely that he will focus on punishing traitors after presiding over the police department, so he will pay less attention to other aspects, so as not to let Li Buqi leak those secret things.

After the dynasty dispersed, Ding Du stopped Li Bu and waited until there was no one around him before saying, "Don't give up." The old man knows that you are thinking about the country, but you are giving the official a knife, aren't you afraid that one day you will cut yourself on the head? ”

In fact, of course, Li Buqi has this concern, but instead of watching the Great Song Dynasty be corrupted by a bunch of moths, it is better to let the emperor clean up. After all, the emperor must think that the country is his own family, so he will have a little heart, right? Moreover, it is also to show that he thinks about the emperor in everything and pulls in his feelings. The lesser of two phases.

So Li Buqi made a nonchalant look and said: "I also said that I gave the official a knife when I participated in politics." A knife is just a tool, can it hurt others? Isn't it to see who the knife is to whom? Your Majesty is a student who participates in politics, does he not have confidence in his own students when he participates in politics? ”

Ding Du still had a little confidence in his students, and he couldn't help but show a proud look on his face, but then he said worriedly: "There is naturally no problem with the official family today. But the initiator, what is the aftermath? If you start this, will the future officials be as merciful as the current officials? ”

Li Buqi smiled irresponsibly: "Naturally, someone is worried about this." Isn't there someone helping the official family determine the prince now? My Great Song Dynasty is full of people, and the next official family educated must be benevolent. I'm not worried about this at all! ”

Ding Du was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he just pointed his finger at Li Buqi's nose: "You, you!" ”

When the edict was sent to the ministers to discuss whether or not to establish a police department, there was immediately impassioned opposition from a group of officials who did not know the truth. That's for sure, no one wants their little to be known by the emperor. This time, the matter of asking the third prince to leave the palace was temporarily put aside.

Among the most active opponents of the establishment of the police department, Li Buqi saw Sima Guang's name, and his writing is said to be the most eloquent. Of course, there is literary brilliance, which can also be interpreted as the ability to confuse people's minds with empty words.

Li Buqi has a deep impression of Sima Guang, not only because of his fame in history, but also because Sima Guang is now a rising star in the political arena. Some people are now promoting Sima Guang in order to offset Li Buqi's merits in the Battle of Beizhou. It is said that when Sima Guang did not go to Beizhou when Li Buqi did not arrive, Sima Guang wrote "Shangpang Privy Secret Discussion on Beizhou Affairs", suggesting that the thief should be "broken" by schemes, specifically by threatening and luring at the same time, dividing and disintegrating, and only punishing the "first evil", and not asking about the rest. Therefore, many of Li Buqi's strategies in Beizhou are the original work of Sima Guang who misappropriated them.

I'll take it, is it tolerable or unbearable, Sima Guang, let's see.

After less than ten days of contention in the court, the emperor suddenly dismissed Chen Zhizhong. The court was full of smart people, and they immediately understood the emperor's determination, and immediately most of the opposing voices disappeared without a trace. However, the scholar lost the limelight in this matter, and naturally wanted to find it back from other aspects, and for a while, the argument that "the third prince should be invited out of the palace" was very loud, and it became more intensified, and even Chen Zhizhong clearly put forward this request in the recital to Zhao Zhen before leaving Beijing.

Lian Guangzhi also met Li Buqi once for this reason, and told him that the civil officials are now crazy in tandem, especially the middle and lower-level officials who have made an appointment to play a joint game, and some are even more intense, and they have to kneel outside the Xuande Gate to beg the emperor for permission.

"Are they crazy? Aren't you afraid that the official family will completely hate them? What exactly are they for? Lian Guangzhi was a little puzzled.

Li Buqi thought for a while and said, "They're afraid! The officials now have the intention to set up a police department, but they don't find out, probably afraid that in the future, the police department will be established, and they will be found out if they make trouble like this, so they are afraid that the last three princes will still be the emperor and settle accounts after the autumn. ”

Lian Guangzhi nodded: "I think that's the truth." What are we going to do? ”

Li Buqi smiled: "The important thing now is to get the police department right." Other things are up to them to make trouble, and if they don't make trouble, how can the officials be determined to set up a police department? How do we have a chance to pry the court? ”
