Article 167 Party Dispute 1
has a reputation in the world, but was not appointed as the prime minister, so that after Song Shenzong heard it, he would still think that this was a farce written, directed and acted by Zheng Xia himself? It is no wonder that after Song Shenzong sent him back to the capital, he kept him idle.
Actually, Zheng Xia's guess was not wrong, this nursery rhyme was arranged by Cai Dao before he left. The purpose is to stink Zheng Xia.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zheng Xia sent people to keep an eye on Cai Dao and Dean as soon as he entered the capital. As for the matter of sending secret agents to Cai Qu's mansion, in fact, this is just a means he uses to investigate the actions of the law-changing faction.
Regarding Di'an's sudden return to Beijing, Zheng Xia had no choice but to give up. He was weak now, and there was no way to probe such a secret matter. Anyway, by tomorrow, everyone will know the news, and when the time comes, see how these two explain.
Dean himself had a good night's sleep in the inn. However, he did not expect that someone would dare to touch his room at night. Fortunately, the letter has been handed over to Cai Qu, so let others know Cai Dao's plan in advance, otherwise, it will have to be a big deal.
Di'an's second uncle, Di Yong, and Shi Deyi, the head of the Imperial City Division, also got the news that Di'an returned to Beijing alone as soon as possible. Although Di Yong knew that this eldest nephew had brought back two good horses, the Di family had always known how to measure. Cai Dao did not return to Beijing with him, and Dean would not have completed the task assigned by Song Shenzong, and he would not be able to return home. It shows that his eldest nephew has really grown up and matured.
And Shi Deyi also reported it to Song Shenzong, who was reviewing the chapter in the Qinzheng Palace, as soon as he got the complete news.
"Your Majesty, Dean has suddenly returned to Beijing. He went to Cai Qu's mansion for the first time, and entered the mansion to discuss for about an hour, and then Cai's mansion was removed. Shi Deyi carefully reported that he did not give his own opinion on this matter, but only truthfully reported the original appearance of this matter.
Song Shenzong put down the fold in his hand, frowned, raised his head to look at Shi Deyi, and asked, "Why did Dean suddenly return to Beijing, and Cai Dao didn't come back with him." In Cai's Mansion, what did they talk about, and where did he go after leaving Cai's Mansion? Author's recommendation: A slight smile is very captivating
It is not a good thing that there is a connection between the ministers of civil and military affairs, although the identities of Dean and Cai are not equal. But don't forget, Di'an's uncle Di Yong is now a high-ranking general in the forbidden army, and he is in charge of a lot of forbidden troops! How could this not make Song Shenzong vigilant in his heart?
"Official, I don't know why? Since Zheng Xia entered Beijing, almost all the ministers of the law-changing faction have been very strict with their homes, so this time the slaves and maids were not used casually. Dean entered Beijing alone, and after leaving Cai's mansion, he stayed in a nearby inn and did not contact his family. Shi De's expression on his face was entangled, indeed, for the sake of a small military attaché, it was really a bit worth the loss to use the secret agents buried next to the minister!
For this, Song Shenzong also thought of it, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Hmm! In this way, you can send someone to keep an eye on Di Yong and Di An, the uncle and nephew, and Cai Qu should let it go first. ”
"No!" In fact, what Song Shenzong finally ordered, Shi Deyi agreed, walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, and turned back and forth outside the palace gate, pretending to order his subordinates. In fact, he had already arranged it like this.
No matter how favored Di Yong and Di An are, no matter how big the official is, it is also a military attaché, not much better than him, an internal official. Therefore, Shi Deyi dared to send someone to monitor their uncle and nephew early in such a fearless manner.
However, for Cai Qu, the deputy minister, if there was no order from Song Shenzong, he would have given Shi Deyi another seventeen or eighteen guts, and he would not dare to rashly send secret agents to openly monitor him.
If things are done well, for the elder Song Shenzong, it is only a matter within his share; However, if Cai does find out, it will be the entire civilian-bureaucratic group that will be offended. If it really comes to that point, Song Shenzong really won't necessarily protect him.
Besides, Di Yong also got the news that his nephew had entered Beijing alone, and as soon as he arrived in the inner city, he had entered Cai Qu's mansion, which surprised him. He knew that this nephew had always been steady, why was he so reckless this time, and before the emperor had finished his mission, he ran to the house of the deputy prime minister of the dynasty.
Now, Zheng Xia has entered Beijing, but Cai Bian has been suddenly transferred to Yan'an Mansion, and the struggle between the reformers and conservatives has reached a white-hot level. Dean participated in it so rashly, didn't this bring trouble to the Di family? What's more, in the Great Song Dynasty, military attachés had no human rights just like internal officials, could it be that Dean had forgotten how his grandfather Di Qing died?
However, Di Yong didn't dare to send anyone to contact Di An, and now even if Di An entered Bianliang City, it was only his problem, if someone found out that he was in contact with his nephew at this time, he would give the handle to someone else's hands for no reason. Di Yong is not so stupid, whether a person's life is important, or the lives of all members of a family are important, he can still tell the difference.
This night, because of Dian's sudden return to Beijing, countless people were terrified and excited. Many people in the conservatives got the message sent back by Zheng Xia, and they all wrote the recital early, preparing to besiege Di Yong and Cai Qu, the two high-ranking civil and military officials, tomorrow morning, as for Di An, such a little shrimp, if the Di family collapses, can he continue to live?
That night, Dean had a good night's sleep.
However, last night, many of the officials did not sleep well.
The next day.
There are many high-ranking officials who have a pair of panda eyes one by one, constantly covering their mouths with their hands, and yawning desperately. It's like the dissatisfaction of those big smokers in later generations. Even as a military attaché, Di Yong looked like a frosted eggplant, wilting and riding a horse into the palace with the current.
Today, he was on duty. However, as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he received a notice from the internal officials that today he was temporarily resting in the palace gate, and the task on duty was entrusted to other commanders of the forbidden army. Di Yong had expected this a long time ago, so he didn't even have a weapon on him, so he obediently followed the internal officials who came to deliver the decree into the palace.
Cai Qu came early in the morning, and he sent someone to inform a few of his subordinates, just outside the palace gate, to tell them about Cai Dao's plan. Cai Qu is a very human desire, so his subordinates are not very capable, and they are all officials who are incompetent but extremely loyal. There was an exchange of views with his men, and unsurprisingly, most of them agreed to the plan.
Of course, it is not that no one raised objections, after all, Cai Dao's plan has offended too many people, and it will definitely be opposed by most of the ministers in the early dynasty for a while. In their opinion, this crazy plan is second only to the 'green seedling method' of the prince Anshi. The failure of the 'Seedlings Method' is imminent, and we must learn a lesson from the past!
In fact, in the eyes of most of Cai's officials, if they really want to do this, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
However, with Cai Qu's character, how could he listen to the opinions of a small number of people?
At that time, even if everyone in the main hall stood up against Cai Dao's plan, Cai did have to try his best to persuade Song Shenzong to complete this matter. Moreover, he thought about it all night, Cai Dao's plan was still very different from his mentor Wang Anshi's 'Qingmiao Method'.
The chances of the plan failing are very small.
First, the scope is different.
The 'Qingmiao Law', UU Reading Books .t is a new law forcibly implemented by Wang Anshi throughout the Great Song Dynasty.
In Cai Dao's view, the main reason is that Wang Anshi was in a hurry and forcibly wanted to implement it throughout the country, but most of the local officials did not cooperate, and even took a long-term view to do the opposite, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money. So, the failure of this new law was doomed from the start.
Cai Dao's plan was different, when it was implemented, it was only necessary to take care of the Gyeonggi counties and the prefectures and counties along the canal, and Cai Qu himself would send his capable cadres to these places to strictly supervise them, instead of counting on those governors or counties who colluded with the local gentry, so that the negative impact of grain cheapness on the peasants could be greatly reduced.
Second, the timeliness is different.
Although both are new laws related to agriculture, the implementation points of the two are different.
The 'Green Seedlings Law' was a time when the green and yellow were not accepted, and the people were in panic all day long, but they were forced to go to the government to carry out the government. The face is ugly, the door is difficult to enter, and things are difficult to do, which are commonplace in later generations, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty nearly a thousand years ago. The people in the government who really run the new law are those treacherous little officials, and it is conceivable that their attitude is a hundred times worse than that of the countryside and the land.
Therefore, most ordinary peasants would rather borrow usury from landlords in the countryside than borrow 'green seedling money' from the government. What's more, the Seedlings Law itself has been completely distorted by the chief officials below to completely distort its original meaning.
And Cai Dao's plan is based on the background of a large-scale harvest in the Central Plains, and the people have grain in their hands, and most of them will naturally not panic in their hearts, and the price will fall so quickly, and they will not be in a hurry to sell the grain in their hands.
As long as the officials sent down had enough cash in their hands, they could harvest a large amount of grain from these people.
