Article 259 Cause
It turned out that this recital was actually written by that Zheng Xia.
There are now two-stirring sticks in Bianliang City, one is that Luo Guozi Cai Dao, and the other is this Zheng Xia.
Zheng Xia finished his errand in Hebei, and his reputation was greatly damaged, and it can be said that he lost all the fame he had accumulated in the people in the past. In order to prevent him from continuing to trouble Cai Dao again, Song Shenzong has always sent him to the place where the disaster occurred.
After all the experiences, everyone can see that this Zheng Xia is a mouthful, and his greatest ability is in that mouth and guts, and he has no ability to govern at all. From this point, it can be seen how bad Wang Anshi's level of looking at people is, and he is not much better than Song Shenzong.
However, this time, Song Shenzong was so angry that he almost died, and he really couldn't blame this troubled Zheng Xia.
'Baojia uprising in Hebei and other places' is just ten words, which shows the unusual flavor.
Di Xian, Liu Ding and others in Hebei promoted the armor protection officials of various states and counties in Zhudao. No one expected that these two fools would actually connive at the local armor to run rampant in the township, and the arrogant ones were not even allowed to ask the state and county officials.
As a result, the armor guards in Lanzhou, Weizhou and other places were bold and reckless, and went to rob farmers in broad daylight, and such things happened from time to time. The matter is relatively small, and the people who have been plundered are ordinary people, and the interests of the local wealthy families have not been touched for the time being. Therefore, no one has stepped forward to restrain them.
Originally, if the roads in Hebei were smooth, the people would be able to endure it. However, the provinces of Hebei have been affected by the locust plague in Liao State for many years, which has greatly reduced the grain output there year after year. In the end, the government of the provinces could only ask the imperial court for help, relying on the imperial court to allocate food relief from other provinces.
But at the end of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, according to the report of the governor of Lanzhou, the Baojia of Guancheng County and other places gathered about 300 people, they took up arms, and even attacked the county seat at once, relying on the desperate resistance of the local wealthy clans, only to keep the county's treasury not lost, but the people in the county town suffered a disaster, and most of their property was looted.
Affected by this incident, the daimyo Mansion Chaocheng, Xiangzhou Linzhang and other places also rose up one after another, openly rebelling against the government.
What's more, the Baojia uprisings in Lanzhou and Huazhou have gradually formed several military groups composed of large Baojia, including the Baojia Righteous Army led by Shan An, Wang Qidon, Zhang Xieliu, etc.
If Cai Dao sees this twist, he will definitely spit out Zheng Xia's face, these civil officials are very close to reversing black and white, and it is obvious that the local government officials in Hebei Zhudao are forcing the people to rebel.
He thought of it with his fart, why did these so-called armor groups rebel?
Hebei provinces due to the locust plague caused by the reduction of grain production, Song Shenzong has obviously issued a decree to reduce the local taxes in the past few years, but the local government must have ignored the actual situation of the people, while forcibly levying the taxes that were reduced by the government, and at the same time stuffing these taxes into the pockets of individuals and superiors. And the wealthy families in those places also took the opportunity to seize the only remaining land in the hands of the common people by using usury.
This is not the official forcing the people to rebel, what is the official forcing the people to rebel.
Of course, it is undeniable that Wang Anshi's armor protection law did provide a certain foundation for these people to rebel, at least they have been able to win the local waste-like van army.
Without the fiasco of Yongle City, Song Shenzong lost the only city held in the Five Roads Expedition - Lanzhou because of the continued appointment of the white-faced scholar Xu Xi, whom Cai Dao had always opposed.
Obviously thinking that it was a peaceful and prosperous era, there was a peasant uprising in Hebei Zhudao. And, according to local officials, these uprisings were actually caused by the Baojia Law.
What's wrong with this world, what's wrong with this world, Song Shenzong asked himself, he has always been 'diligent in government and loving the people', but in the end it made the Zhao family's country look like this, is what he has done over the years right or wrong?
As a result, this emperor, who was very angry, was so angry that he was critically ill.
In fact, this trick is full of loopholes, what is the identity of Di Zhen, Liu Ding and other people who raise the armor, they are just military generals, and if you go to a county order from a Jinshi, you can kill them all.
And Zheng Xia and the local officials of Hebei Zhudao actually dared to be shy, and wrote on the recital, 'Baojia is rampant in the township, and the state and county officials are not allowed to ask'. Such a clumsy lie, only Song Shenzong, who has been growing up in the deep palace and being nurtured by Wenchen, would believe the of these people.
It is a pity that history is not only written by the winners, but also by those who are literate.
"Someone! Let's make a decision! Empress Dowager Gao put down this twist and turn that almost cost Song Shenzong's life, and commanded in a low voice, and there was an indescribable sternness and coldness in the few words.
"No!" Today's Zhongshu Sheren is Zeng Zhao, that is, the youngest of Zeng Gong's half-brothers, originally, Zeng Gong originally wanted to recommend the candidate to Song Shenzong was actually Zeng Bu, but after listening to Cai Dao and his stepmother Zhu's opinions, he later recommended Zeng Zhao instead.
Although Zeng Gong is the eldest brother, he has been an official for many years, so he may not know this younger brother too well, but Zeng Bu, as a member of the law change faction, at least he is lively, and he is indeed a little flattering. knows his son Mo Ruo's mother, but the Zhu family knows his son very well, capable but fickle.
Among the reformers, the consistent people were Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, and when the conservatives made a comeback, it was Cai Jing and Zeng Bu who changed their ways, both of whom were actually famous traitors of the Great Song Dynasty.
Soon, according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager Gao, Zeng Zhao wrote the will, but did not hand it over directly to the Empress Dowager Gao, but took it to Song Shenzong's sickbed, read it in a low voice, and after Song Shenzong agreed, he handed it over to the prime ministers.
This is the biggest difference between Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu, if it was Zeng Bu, he would definitely directly hand over the written holy decree directly to the Empress Dowager Gao, and it would not be as troublesome as Zeng Zhao.
So, the next day, the oracle came down. I don't know whose oracle it is, but this time, Cai Qu and Zhang Dun both kept their mouths shut.
Wang Anshi changed the law, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and the most important part of the strong army was completely abolished, Di Yong personally led the forbidden army to Hebei to quell the rebellion, and in the Baojia Incident, Di Jian, Liu Ding and other Hebei provinces promoted these unlucky ghosts who were pushed out of the top tank, all of them were rushed to Lingnan, and Di Jian went to Qiongzhou Island with Gao Zunyu because of Di'an.
These people are disgusting enough to do things, this time, the people of the Di family were used by the imperial court for one, but two were degraded at once.
The second Di family to be demoted is Dian.
As for the charges? It was Dean who rode his horse outside the palace gate, but when he turned over the sky, he was demoted to three levels, and he was demoted to Shuibo Liangshan. This is still the result of Zhao Maid's hard work.
Dean was also glad to think about it now, at that time, before entering the palace gate, he fortunately obeyed Cai Dao's persuasion and dismounted. Otherwise, if he really had to gallop in the inner courtyard of the palace, he would have lost his head quite lightly.
By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed his name to Zhao Xu.
Before leaving, Dean came to the Cai Academy again, and he came here to ask Cai Dao.
He himself knew that his father, Di Zhen, was not stupid, but he was also a mediocre person. In fact, everyone in the world knows that the five sons of Di Qing, a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, are all mediocre, that is, the second son Di Yong is good-looking, has the demeanor of his father's appearance, and is quite upright, so he will be favored by Song Shenzong. The third generation of the entire Di family, that is, Dian, is quite talented.
Dean did not come to Cai Dao for himself, but for his father. As we all know, for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the land of Lingnan is equivalent to a dead land, especially the land of the northerners, which is basically dead and lifeless. I heard that Gao Zunyu was already sick and dying in Qiongzhou. At the beginning, Wang Gong lost several children in Lingnan at once.
"Daochang Cai, you must help your father this time." In front of Cai Dao and Zeng Gong, Dean almost didn't kneel down for him, "Alas! If it were possible, I would really like to accompany my father to Qiongzhou. ”
