Chapter 275: Zhao Zhen who protects the calf

After Jia Changchao took charge of the court bureau, he was full of ambition and wanted to show his strength, but when he really sat in this position, he drew his sword and looked around, but found that there was really not much he could do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Take the disarmament left by Wen Yanbo before, it has not been implemented for a long time, and the 80,000 disarmament has actually only reduced the vacancy by more than 20,000, or it will not be long before it will be filled by conscription under various names.

Military spending has reached seventy percent of the expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you don't want to solve it, the treasury will not be able to use the money to do other things, even if Jia Changchao has ambitions, there is no room for display.

But things can't be done, there are still a lot of troubles below, he just dealt with a few disaster relief things, and Tang Jie, the governor of the political affairs, came to him.

"This is a bullet sent by Mishi Tianping."

Jia Changchao frowned, "If you want to impeach the officials and send them to the Imperial Historical Tower, what are you doing for me?" ”

"The drunkard can't deal with it, so he has to give it to Jia Xianggong."

Jia Changchao was suspicious, unfolded a look, and suddenly frowned, Tian Ping impeached no one else, it was Wang Ningan!

Before Tian Ping proposed that the Lingnan case be decided, Wang Ning'an, Han Jiang and others advocated the execution of the officials involved in the Lingnan case, but the imperial court did not adopt their suggestions.

In addition to the words, Tian Ping also pointed the finger at Ouyang Xiu, thinking that he connived at Wang Ning'an, acted recklessly, and killed the killer, ignoring the law of the court and nothing. If such a cruel and tyrannical person is not severely punished, it will surely cause great trouble in the long run.

Tian Ping listed many crimes, Jia Changchao just swept them away, he frowned, and hesitated: "Is there any evidence for what Tian Ping said?" Did Wang Ningan kill someone? If there is no evidence of guilt, a great hero is framed, and he is the one who should be severely punished! ”

Seeing that Jia Chang was sheltering Wang Ning'an, Tang Jie had already expected it.

"Jia Xianggong, although Tian Ping is just guessing, the old man has some evidence here."

"What evidence?" Jia Changchao said curiously.

Tang Jie said in a deep voice: "According to the news sent by the people below, Wang Ning'an's fleet left Guangzhou a day early. ”

Jia Changchao smiled: "Doesn't this mean that Wang Ningan is not involved in the case?" ”

"Not so! Jia Xianggong, do you know that Wang Ningan's fleet is to escort Li Rizun to the throne as king, but according to the news sent by the fleet, Wang Ningan has been missing for a few days. ”

"Oh? And what is this for? ”

Tang Jiedao: "Wang Ningan said that it was his boat that encountered wind and waves and deviated from the course, so it delayed time. ”

Jia Changchao said with a smile: "Isn't this it, the sea is vast, the risk is very great, Lord Wang has worked tirelessly, running around on the sea, all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, just based on speculation, he wantonly slandered, which will hurt the hearts of the soldiers." Lord Tang, now that you have entered the political hall, you are not the middle of the imperial history. According to the rules of my Great Song Dynasty, between the ruler and the official, it is necessary to avoid suspicion. ”

Tang Jie was furious and asked, "Could it be that Xianggong Jia thinks that the old man bends the law for personal gain?" ”

"Not really!"

Jia Changchao said with a smile: "Lord Tang, the old man can naturally trust you, but this person has two skins on his mouth, and he is the most vicious." Look at it, Lord Wang has been charged. In case someone says that Lord Tang cooperated with Yushi and framed Zhongliang, I'm afraid it's not okay? ”

I have to say that it is too wise to support Lao Jia as prime minister, this guy's shamelessness is second only to Xia Zhu and Wen Yanbo.

After sending Old Tang away, Jia Changchao's face changed.

He knows Wang Ningan's temperament better than others, when that kid had just debuted, he dared to shout at himself, and he was bold.

It is indeed possible to kill the killers and kill those scum.

When it comes to crimes, it's not an exaggeration to kill those people, but if only things were so simple, the Manchu Dynasty civil servants were boiling against Yingtian, in order to maintain the ancestral system and protect their own lives.

As the prime minister, Jia Changchao cannot openly oppose everyone.

But the problem is that he tore his face with Wang Ningan, and the consequences are equally terrible.

It's not going in, it's not going back, Jia Xianggong is stunned and stuck here.

In the past few days, various statements in the capital have been circulated everywhere, pointing to Wang Ning'an, saying that he is bold and reckless, and must be severely punished.

Of course, there is another voice circulating, saying that it is God's curse, drowning a group of harmful spirits, and it has nothing to do with Lord Wang!

On the contrary, the courtiers sheltered these brutes, which really violated the ancestral system and corrupted the Great Song Dynasty.

A pamphlet was also widely circulated to introduce the crimes of Lingnan officials.

One of the most heinous is the blatant trafficking of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, treating people as animals, getting them overseas to do hard labor, separating wives, and parting parents, causing many human tragedies.

As if in order to verify this statement, just before and after supporting Li Rizun to ascend the throne, a group of more than 3,000 people returned to the Great Song Dynasty from Jiaozhi by boat and met their long-lost relatives.

They hugged their heads and cried, and some even went home to see only the graves of their loved ones.

There are also people who learn that their loved ones died in Jiaozhi, and they are in pain.

Han Jiang and Di Qing both sent a recital to the imperial court, explaining the situation clearly.

At this point, it has become more and more a collision of two forces.

Mainly among the people, they denounced the crimes of civilian officials, not to mention that they were shipwrecked at the moment, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, even if they were really killed, they would only clap their hands and exhale for relief.

What kind of bullshit ancestral system, in order to protect the way of speech, the grandfather was afraid that his descendants would come wantonly, so the ancestral system was set, but it turned out to be the reliance of civil officials, and they began to act recklessly, which is simply unreasonable!

The Great Song Dynasty is so good, he is not convicted for his words, and even the courtiers are not investigated, let alone the common people.

The teahouses and restaurants in the capital were talked about everywhere, and naturally, they targeted their dissatisfaction at the princes of the imperial court. In the past, this kind of thing was not uncommon, but at that time, it was Yanguan and Shilin who led the public opinion and attacked the minister in power.

This time, however, the situation was different, and it became a criticism and ridicule of the civilian clique by the people, and the officials who had always shown their loyalty and honesty were fiercely questioned.

This is the case among the people, but it has aroused the fear of the officials even more, and they cannot lose the dominance of public opinion no matter what.

Therefore, more and more civil officials are impeached, demanding that the imperial court thoroughly investigate the cause of death of Lingnan officials, and resolutely defend the ancestral system.

Yanguan dreamed of taking Wang Ningan's head to warn everyone that their majesty could not be provoked!

……

The movement was getting louder and louder, and even Jia Changchao couldn't hold it down.

Jixian Hall University scholar Fubi finally found him, "Brother Ziming, it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and the political affairs hall will not give an explanation to the hundred officials, I am afraid that there will be a big mess." ”

Jia Changchao was worried, "Brother Yanguo, what do you want me to do?" The sea is vast, do you want to send someone to investigate? ”

Fu Bi said: "Although it is difficult to be at sea, but there are so many people around Wang Ning'an, as long as they are investigated one by one, it is not difficult to find out the truth!" ”

Jia Changchao shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Yanguo, what you said is light, those thousands of people are all meritorious soldiers, and they all shed blood for the Great Song Dynasty." Check them, what if they provoke a mutiny? Also, almost all the generals in the capital this time followed Wang Ning'an south, you want to check them, you want the world to be in chaos! ”

Fu Bi said with a dark face: "Jia Xianggong, if you don't explain to the hundred officials, the world is already in chaos!" ”

The two prime ministers have their own opinions, and usually at this time, they have to go to Zhao Zhen to be the referee.

Jia Changchao and Fu Bi found Zhao Zhen, His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a loose Taoist robe, barefoot, slowly pacing on the ground. Seeing the ceremony, Fu Bi took the lead and said the matter again.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to find out where Wang Ning'an went in the days when he disappeared, and did he kill the officials in Lingnan with his own hands?"

Zhao Zhen frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Fu Xianggong, is this matter really so important?" ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, hundreds of officials have written one after another, the crowd is angry, and the old ministers are afraid that people's hearts will be uncertain and affect the court situation! ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Then I tell you, I know where Wang Ning'an went, can I give an explanation to the hundred officials!" ”

"Your Majesty knows?"

Fu Bi's face was full of weirdness, ten thousand didn't believe it, he felt that this was Zhao Zhen deceiving him.

"Rich Xianggong, do you have to know?"

Fu Bi looked very embarrassed, "The old minister has no intention of snooping on the matter of the Son of Heaven, but this matter is too strange, and the old minister thinks that it is better to give the hundred officials an explanation." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "That's it, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two Aiqing, I don't have a son yet, I don't have three unfilial pieties, and I am sorry for my ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Fu Bi was puzzled, what does this have to do with the days when Wang Ningan disappeared?

"Wang Qing went south and brought me some excellent seahorses, after I took them, the effect was very good, no, I gave him a will, find me more seahorses. If it weren't for the rich minister's inquiry, I would never have been able to say anything about this matter. ”

This choked Fu Bi so much that he almost fainted!

Oh my God, it's all right!

Zhao Zhen has no children, and everyone in the world knows that the seahorse nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the brain, which is indeed beneficial to the Holy Body.

Ordinary people are still reluctant to reveal this kind of thing, let alone a dignified emperor, since this is the case, Wang Ningan secretly left the fleet and looked for a seahorse for Zhao Zhen, which is reasonable.

But the problem is that Wang Ningan can just send one of his subordinates, so why do it himself?

"Fu Xianggong, Wang Qing is not very old, he is loyal, he may be a little out of line, but he will definitely not come nonsense, the seahorse has been sent to the capital, I will turn around and give you and Jia Xianggong two taels each. You carry the burden of the country for me, and you have worked hard, but you have to take good care of your body! ”

Rao is rich and eloquent, and he was also defeated by Zhao Zhen's fierce reasons.

Not only him, but the other officials don't dare to talk nonsense casually, could it be that you don't care about the Holy Communion and don't want the Great Song Dynasty to have a prince?

Jia Changchao endured the pain in his stomach and almost burst out laughing.

After the two of them left the palace, Zhao Zhen arrived at the dragon book case, picked up a secret note, and threw it into the brazier.

"Sinners should be killed! It's a pity that I can't kill them with my own hands! ”
