Chapter 957: Giving back to the other in his way
Zheng Xia died, just a start, and there were more officials in the future, higher ranks, facing severe punishment from the imperial court...... The scale is so large that it has definitely set a record, not to mention that it is unprecedented since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, even the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties may not have such a big stroke!
First of all, Liu Xin, as the initiator of Donglin, participated in the conspiracy many times, colluded with the Japanese invaders, and the crime was so great that it was difficult to write a book, and he was sentenced to abandon the city for three days. Another prime minister, Wang Qi, although he didn't have too many ideas, but he was also aware of the Cao Gang's troubles, and even agreed.
Knowing nothing, and trying to help the criminal be accommodating, is also heinous, and his treatment is a little better...... I got the rope, the dagger, and Bai Lingzi...... The legendary Three Treasures of Death!
The prince of the Three Decrees, Wang Qi, cried so much, not to mention how miserable it was...... In the first half of the night, people kept sending all kinds of delicacies, and if they couldn't eat it, they would spit it out with their throats, and then continue to eat, and the last meal, if they didn't eat enough, they would never stop!
In the second half of the night, he sat in a daze, crying for a while, laughing for a while, thinking about the experience of so many years, Wang Jue really wanted to cry, he lay on the prison door, shouting over and over again.
"Sage, prince, give the old man a way to live, I don't want to be an official anymore, let me repair books and history...... Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, just one volume of scriptures...... Or, give me the field, 10 acres of thin fields, grow and eat yourself......"
He pleaded and became more and more humble, but received no answer.
Wang Ningan was determined to abdicate after a year, he would not give these old guys a chance again, he would clean up when he should clean up, and he would definitely not be soft, just like that, Wang Jue dragged on until almost dawn, and the cell boss didn't dare to wait any longer, so he could only hold him down and pour crane top red into his mouth......
In addition to these two, the original official department Shangshu Lu Gong, public weapons for private use, colluded with the traitorous party, framed loyal ministers, and returned to protect private individuals several times, completely without the demeanor of important ministers in the court, and ordered his family to commit suicide.
Sun Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, colluded with the Donglin demons, colluded up and down, formed a party for personal gain, and what he did was outrageous, and he was decided!
On the surface, Lu Gongshu's crime is greater, but why did Sun Gu get a more tragic treatment?
This involves Sun Gu once contacted the harem, hoping that Empress Dowager Cao would come forward to dissuade Zhao Shu. As an emperor, the most unforgivable thing is to instigate family affection!
Originally, Zhao Shu and Empress Dowager Cao may not have made trouble to this extent, but wave after wave of courtiers hoped to use Empress Dowager Cao to restrain the emperor and cause discord in the heavenly family.
The four important ministers were killed, and the rest did not end well.
Qian Xuan, Qian Xuan, and many core children of the Qian family were all sentenced to capital punishment, Qian Xuan was pulled out, cut by a thousand knives, Qian Yi was cut in half, and the first family in the southeast collapsed.
The rest of the Liu family, the Wang family, the Li family, and so on were similar, and the core children were all executed.
Moreover, represented by Sun Changling, Song Minqiu and others, there were more than 300 officials in total who had collusion with the Shijia Cao Gang, and they were all dismissed and handed over to the Criminal Department for punishment.
One after another, everyone was frightened and shuddered, and the former high-ranking ministers and wealthy families all fell apart at this moment, falling from heaven to hell.
Every will, there are countless people who have died, wives and wives are separated, every word is a murderous knife, sharp and sharp, from top to bottom, everyone has learned what is called power, what is called the anger of the Son of Heaven!
Up to now, no one dares to underestimate Zhao Shu, let alone treat him as a child. After Liwei, Zhao Shu seemed very excited, but he quickly discovered another problem, perhaps the effect of Liwei was too good, the court, except for a very few people, the other courtiers became shrunken, did not dare to do things, encountered big and small things, tried to push the emperor, afraid of taking responsibility, attracting the emperor's anger.
Zhao Shu couldn't cry or laugh, and he was very helpless, he worked hard to support it for a few days, and then he felt that his head was big, and sure enough, his father was so tired and lay down.
I had to find a helper, and in desperation, Zhao Shu issued an order to let Wang Ningan return to Beijing as soon as possible, preside over the political hall, and be responsible for all matters.
At the same time, Zhao Shu also issued an order to let Wang Anshi return to Beijing.
It's just that Wang Anshi is angry because he lost his food, and he is supervising the troops to attack the water thieves in Poyang Lake, and he has to continue to allocate food to meet the needs of the southeast, so he really can't get out of the way.
In this way, Wen Yanbo luckily got the opportunity to be transferred back to the capital.
This time he went south, and Wen Xianggong had already earned enough points.
He took down Wang Jue, provided help for the detection of the entire case, and operated the Xiucai Department, selected talents, and rectified the officialdom, Lao Wen did a very good job in these things.
Some newspapers even put Wen Yanbo and Erwang alongside, called "Three Virtuous Ministers", or "Zhongxing Three Phases", among which Lao Wen has the deepest qualifications, and the ranking even surpasses Wang Anshi.
When he came, Wen Yanbo was a hundred unwilling, but when he went back, he was full of harvests, and he couldn't stop smiling, his eyebrows fluttering, and he flew happily.
Taking advantage of the break, Wen Yanbo directly found Wang Ningan.
"Erlang, this time His Majesty transferred us back to Beijing, naturally let us rectify the dynasty, what does Erlang think, the old man will definitely support it, Xiao Gui Cao will follow, there will be no ambiguity."
Wang Ningan snorted lightly, "I said Brother Kuanfu, are you so sure that you can take over my position as prime minister?" ”
Wen Yanbo hurriedly waved his hand, "The old man regards fame and fortune as floating clouds, money as dung, and he is just bent on seeking the country...... Erlang, we've worked together many times, haven't you seen what the old man is? ”
Wang Ningan really wants to vomit, you're here to disgust me!
"Brother Kuanfu, I advise you, you are quite old, you should pay attention, after all, there is still a year to go, in case you flash your waist and fall your leg, it will not be good...... You say yes, right? ”
Wen Yanbo smiled dumbly, "Erlang, if you say that, it can only prove that you are weak and afraid...... In fact, you shouldn't look at the old man like this, the old man is by no means a conservative person, if I can be in charge of the government, I will definitely forge ahead and make bold moves, in the hands of the old man, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely take on a new look...... When the old man was young, he had an ambition to Kuang Jun to assist the country and Zhongxing Sheji...... In this life, the old man is getting closer and closer to his goal, and he is really ten years younger...... Please rest assured, the old man will definitely take care of his body, but you, you are not very old, your mind is so heavy, and your wisdom is not long! ”
After Lao Wen finished speaking, he patted his ass proudly and left with a smile.
After he left, Wang Ningan swept away the depression just now and showed a gloomy smile.
The surname is Wen, you think you have eaten Lao Tzu, right?
Dream on, as long as Lao Tzu is here, even if I am not the prime minister, I can keep you out of the political hall, you wait and see!
Without further ado, the two ministers returned to Beijing and were greeted by hundreds of officials, and they were grand to the extreme.
Zhao Shu issued an order again, Wang Ning'an was promoted to the king of Yan, added the title of Taishi, Zhongshu Ling, Zhaowenguan University Scholar, and oversaw the government and politics...... This series of appointments can freak out many people.
Not to mention the change from a two-word king to a one-word king, he has also become a real prime minister and holds great power, even the founding prime minister Zhao Pu does not have this prestige.
Of course, Wang Ning'an wrote a letter to plead, but Zhao Shu insisted on not complying, and Zhao Shu also said that Wang Ning'an was named the king of Xiliang before, which was to reward him for his contribution to opening up the territory and expanding the territory.
Just when others were still confused, Wen Yanbo took the initiative to write a book, he praised Wang Ning'an's deeds, which can be called an example of the people's ministers, the first virtuous minister in ancient and modern times, teaching saints, opening the saints, refreshing the government, eradicating the malpractices, the great merit, unprecedented, if the court rewards and punishes unfairly, it will only chill the hearts of the people of the Manchu Dynasty.
Lao Wen's actions are simply unparalleled, as if anyone dares to say that Wang Ningan is not qualified, he can jump out and work hard!
"Lao Chen, can you tell me, what do you want Wen Kuanfu to do this?"
Chen Shunzhi said with a smile: "It's not his previous thoughts, he is asking the prince to owe him favors, so as to hold the prince hostage, so that he can successfully ascend to the throne when the time comes." ”
Of course Wang Ningan can think of it, but he doesn't believe that Wen Yanhui thinks that he can be restrained by relying on favors, and this thing is not worth a dime!
"Lord Wang, in fact, this may not be the case, I guess Wen Kuanfu just wants you not to object, other people, he should be able to settle it!"
"I don't see it that way!" Wang Ningan chuckled, "Don't talk about others, just being unscrupulous is not something he can restrain him!" ”
Chen Shunzhi shook his head, "Lord Wang, there is something I just heard about. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Just three months ago, Wen Kuanfu gave His Majesty a secret recital." Chen Shunzhi leaned over and said: "Lao Wen is in the song, and assures His Majesty that this year's Hetao can provide an additional 2 million stone of grain, so this year's 10 million stone of southeast grain can be reduced to 8 million stone!" ”
Chen Shunzhi said again: "This matter was done by Wen Yanbo secretly, obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the lack of grain in the southeast to show his favor to the prince!" ”
"Humph! He underestimated me! Wang Ningan said angrily: "No matter how he tosses, I won't be grateful to him!" ”
"But Wang Jiefu will!"
Chen Shunzhi's words woke up Wang Ningan.
"I see!"
Wang Ningan slapped his thigh angrily, "Grandma's, but the husband lost the food, Lao Wen sent charcoal in the snow at this time, and the husband couldn't be tricked!" ”
Chen Shunzhi nodded, "Lord Wang, if you want to talk about the layout means, Wen Kuanfu is not weaker than the Lord Wang!" ”
"You are exalting me, when it comes to means, where can I compare to Wen Yanbo!" Wang Ningan told the truth, if he didn't have a thousand years of knowledge, he would have been left with Wen Yanbo in seconds!
"This old guy must be suppressed, and he can't be allowed to make waves anymore!" Wang Ningan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after walking for almost a quarter of an hour, he suddenly laughed out loud, "Old Chen, we might as well use Wen Yanbo's tricks to deal with Wen Yanbo, what do you think?" ”
"What does the prince mean?"
"I'll give him credit, and I'll also make Wen Kuanfu a prince!" Wang Ningan smiled like a fox possessed.
