Chapter 582: Civil Officials Forced the Palace
Coming out of the prison, Wang Ningan was not in a hurry to go home, but found a bath on the side of the road at random, soaking in the hot spring water, closing his eyes, and what Han Qi said kept flashing in front of his eyes...... The old man is hateful, even if he dies miserably, Wang Ningan will not have half sympathy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But looking back on Han Qi's career, along the way, it is also due to the officialdom ecology of the Great Song Dynasty...... In order to correct the mistake of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the feudal towns, the Great Song Dynasty desperately gave preferential treatment to the literati and allowed them to behave unpunished without punishment.
Blindly protecting and conniving, the law of the country is like nothing, and good people and good officials are not protected and encouraged, but villains are rampant, and they are doing everything they can...... Han Qi is just going with the flow, he uses all his talents and wisdom to form a party for personal gain, and to form a gang.
He embezzled so much money, as he said, maybe not much really went into his pocket, and most of the money was used to buy cronies and expand his power...... It is precisely because of this that the old guy looks more and more hateful!
The next step in changing the law may be to fundamentally change the employment system of the imperial court, and the imperial examination has taken the first step, and then how to use officials, how to evaluate, how to promote, and how to supervise...... If these things are not done well, I am afraid that if I kill one Han Qi, there will be countless Han Qi repeating the mistakes of the past......
Thinking about these things, it was really a bit heavy, Wang Ningan felt that he could at least breathe a sigh of relief for now, he washed away the sour smell in the prison, refreshed, and returned home.
At this time, the mansion had long been turned into a paradise for national treasures, and the east cross courtyard was cleaned up, and the attic of the hut was built with pillars, and there were also climbing and moving shelves.
At this moment, Rolling is competing with a small Trojan horse!
Climbed up and fell, two short calves, huge soles, simply overturned everyone, the lethality of the black and white beast is absolutely ancient and modern.
Yang Xi took out all his efforts to take care of the national treasure, prepared the nest head, washed the pot and milk, selected the bamboo, and cleaned it with spring water, without the slightest carelessness.
Occasionally, the national treasure uncle smiled at her, which could make Yang Xi happy for a long time.
It made Dogtooth and Xiaoyu angry, they didn't have this preferential treatment when they were young, they were completely fake mothers!
……
The family was peaceful, but the capital was in turmoil at this time.
Zhao Zhen issued a holy decree of as many as 10,000 words, enumerated the crimes of Han Qi and Wang Gongchen one by one, and finally sentenced the two to be executed after the autumn, and their families were confiscated into the army, and the officials involved in the case were beheaded or exiled to Lingnan according to the severity of the crime, a total of more than 200 people were implicated...... Such a large-scale disposal of officials has been unprecedented since the founding of Zhao Da, and Zhao Zhen's determination to rectify the rule of officials is clearly revealed.
According to the usual practice, this holy decree must be attached to the government hall, but it took three days to send it down, and the signature was actually the second minister Wen Yanbo, and the name of Prime Minister Jia Changchao disappeared......
"As soon as Han Zhigui died, the prime minister was in charge, and everyone was in danger...... The old man has been sitting on this chair for more than 5 years, which is not short. "Jia Changchao is really unwilling to give up his position, he is crazy obsessed with power and fame.
It's just that looking back, among the same batch of characters as him back then, Xia Zhu had already died, and Fan Zhongyan had also retired, and now he is concentrating on academics, and he heard that he has been sick several times, and he won't live long. Zhang Dexiang, Han Yi, and Yan Shu are all dead, Du Yan is also too old, I heard that I don't know anyone anymore, as well as Chen Zhizhong and Song Zhen...... Alas, when I left home as a young man, I already had gray temples, and if I survived, there would be no taste, so I still retired early, and maybe I could end up with a good ending.
Jia Changchao took 7 paperwork in one breath, and insisted on resigning from all positions and going home to farm.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jia Changchao is playing with power and winning people's hearts, and what he does is no less than Han Qi, if he opens it, he is afraid that ten heads will not be enough to cut off.
He's running for his life.
Zhao Zhen hesitated again and again, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart.
The main reason is that Wang Ningan recommended Wang Anshi, and Zhao Zhen also appreciates Wang Anshi's talent, the problem is that this person has a strong personality, does not know how to be flexible, and his qualifications are shallow, and he needs transition time.
But Jia Changchao didn't want to stay in the capital at all, he expressed one after another, and even prepared to go directly to the crown......
The old guy's actions to save his life, in the eyes of some people, were because Jia Changchao was unable to protect Han Qi and Wang Gongchen, and he was ashamed to intercede and quit.
Indeed, on the Golden Palace, he knelt down three times to intercede, but in exchange for His Majesty's reprimand and questioning, as a ruler, he lost face, and it was reasonable for Jia Changchao to leave.
Immediately following Jia Changchao, the privy envoy Pang Ji also wrote a book, saying that he was old and frail and could not be driven, and asked to return to his hometown.
If it's just Pang Ji, it's just that, Tang Jie, the governor of the political affairs, and Zhao Bian in the imperial history, these two people also follow the book, it is all a requirement, and they don't do it!
Now the Great Song Dynasty is messed up!
The official system of the Great Song Dynasty is notoriously complicated, but basically there are traces to follow, standing at the top of the hundred officials is the so-called Zaizhi, the prime minister of the East Mansion, the vice minister, the governor of the political affairs, the privy envoy of the West Mansion, the privy deputy envoy, plus the three envoys of the finance minister, and the boss of the official Yu Shi Zhongcheng.
Since some positions may have two people held at the same time, less than ten people are the top existence of the Great Song Dynasty officialdom.
Since the second year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu finally left his post because of the scandal involved, and concentrated on the affairs of the Royal Academy, missing a place.
Wang Gongchen and Han Qi were taken, and two more were lost, followed by Jia Changchao, Pang Ji, Zhao Bian, Tang Jie, and four more!
Now that it is counted on the fingers, the West Mansion is empty, and there is only one Wen Yanbo left in the East Mansion, plus the three envoys Bao Zheng, and Zhang Fangping, who is in the imperial history of Yizhou, if you count the Minister of Finance Wang Ning'an, there are only four people!
The whole Zaizhi walked more than half of it, as if the sky had fallen.
The busiest person is Wen Yanbo, the government affairs of the two governments are all pressed on his head, from morning to night, he is as busy as his grandson, and he doesn't even have time to eat.
Of course, Wen Yanbo is good at taking power, just being tired is nothing, he can be as happy as he is, but the problem is that these important ministers resigned at the same time, which had too much impact on the court situation.
In fact, after careful investigation, Jia Changchao wanted to slip away because he was afraid, and Pang Ji, he has always been in poor health, and he has long had the intention of retreating. And Pang Ji has also chosen the heir of the mantle, that is Sima Guang!
Don't look at Sima Guang as Wang Ning'an's disciple, but he has a deeper friendship with Pang, and the father and son generations are extraordinary. Pang Ji is an honest official, and he has reached the top of the civil service, his fame has long faded, and his descendants are also taken care of, he really doesn't want to roll in the officialdom.
Besides, Tang Jie, he has not been in good health in the past few years, and he has seen too many flies and dogs, and he is even more reluctant to go along with it, his old friend Ouyang Xiu concentrates on studying, and Tang Jie also wants to follow suit.
As for Zhao Bian, he was with Zhang Fangping at the beginning, and he also went to persuade Wen Yanbo to protect Wang Gongchen, although the case did not implicate him, but Zhao Bian also felt that his face was dull and very ugly.
Therefore, Zhao Bian was determined to beg to go, but no one could keep it.
All in all, these people have their own reasons, and when the problem is that they happened to be in time for this time, they left one after another. What do the officials below think? What will everyone think?
Many people think that the emperor is desperate and executes two important ministers, and he doesn't care about the intercession of the hundred officials at all, and does not save face for the hundred officials, since the emperor is ruthless, the hundred officials can only be unrighteous.
We can't clash with the emperor head-on, and it doesn't make sense to protect two ink-greedy people, but let's not do it!
The emperor can't force us to work, can he?
The officials soon followed suit, and the first to take action was the Yushitai.
Everyone knows that Yushitai has always been a hornet's nest and a clear stream base camp. It's okay to pick the bones, let alone such a big thing.
Some people are still worried that they can't get involved, but seeing that you are resigning, they think this is a good idea.
A hero with three gangs, a fence with three piles, what about the emperor, without the assistance of the ministers, without the officials to do things, that is the blind, the deaf, the waste locked in the palace!
Therefore, on the third day of Zhao Bian's resignation, there were three imperial histories, five palace servants, and 10 supervising imperial histories, all of whom resigned together.
With the launch of the Yushitai, the wind of resignation soon spread to the six departments and various temples, and even spread to Kaifeng Mansion, where hundreds of people begged to go...... Almost overnight, the machines of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly stopped!
Jia Changchao, who was in the mansion, heard the report from his family, saying that hundreds of officials followed Xiangye to resign together, and the old Xiangye won the hearts of the people, majestic, and hundreds of officials looked up to virtue, which was really remarkable!
Listening to his family's eyebrows fluttering and touting, Jia Chang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
Oh my God, don't bring such a playful person!
The old man really wanted to run away, didn't you put me on the fire to roast?
It's good for you to raise your brains, Your Majesty's butcher's knife is held high, and it is not this way to send you to death!
Jia Changchao was shocked and frightened, and broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought about it for a long time, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen, in which Jia Changchao repeatedly explained that he was old and frail, his talent was unusable, and he had been in Zhongshu for a long time, so he wanted to go home to cultivate the fields and enjoy his family in peace.
Jia Changchao put on a submissive posture, not daring to confront Zhao Zhen, and then let people speak, blaming the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that they were too much, and they actually regarded national affairs as child's play, which is really hateful!
……
"Humph! It's just singing black and white faces! Shameless! ”
Zhao Zhen was not angry at all, on the contrary, he was even more angry, okay, this is my courtier of the Great Song Dynasty! For the sake of two corrupt officials, they actually got into trouble with me, there is no court, no overall situation, no monarch, no world...... In the eyes of these people, there is only themselves, only the interests of the scholars!
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the things hurt it, you want to force the palace, right?
Come on!
Without Butcher Zhang, do I still have to eat hairy pigs?
"Pass the decree, immediately invite Xianggong Wen and Xianggong Wang to enter the palace to discuss matters."
The great eunuch Su Gui hurriedly agreed, and ran out as soon as he turned around...... Obviously, a storm bigger than the disposal of Han Qi and Wang Gongchen is coming......
