Chapter 580: The Checkmate of Man
Whether it's a chicken or a monkey, Han Xianggong is completely finished this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhao Zhen took the opportunity of the early dynasty to convene all the officials in Beijing, and Bao Zheng, as one of the chief judges, reported in detail the case of hollowing out the subordinates, and said every sum of money clearly and clearly.
Many courtiers have relatives in their hearts, and almost all of them are shocked by the audacity of Han Qi and Wang Gongchen, millions of guan, and even say that they will be empty, is there still a law in this Great Song Dynasty?
Everyone was indignant and advocated severe punishment of Han Qi and Wang Gongchen.
It's just that when Zhao Zhen raised the butcher's knife and wanted to kill someone, the courtiers were still startled.
The top figures, according to the convention, are degraded and exiled at most, no matter how serious the case is, they will be beaten and cancelled, and they will not be allowed to be officials within three generations, that is, they will actually kill their heads, where is the dignity of the ruler? Where is the face of civil officials?
As the prime minister, Jia Changchao took the lead and knelt down, brushed and pulled, and everyone else followed.
"The ministers beg Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and merciful!"
After giving the salute, Jia Changchao stood up again and repeated it three times in a row, and then he knelt on the ground and said desolately: "Even though Han Qi is guilty, the crime is unforgivable, but please read that for the sake of his decades of hard work for the country, it is okay to send him to Lingnan or to Bohai, in short, leave him an old life." Presumably, Han Qi must be grateful for the grace of heaven, and the courtiers will also appreciate His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and they will be more diligent in the king's affairs, and they will not dare to slack off in the slightest. ”
Following Jia Changchao to kneel, there were also Wen Yanbo, Zhao Bian, Wang Qi, Liu Xin and other ministers, and in the end, even the privy envoy Pang Ji also knelt.
Above the Manchu Dynasty, there are only two people left, one is Wang Ning'an, and the other is Bao Zheng!
Things are very clear, this is the entire civil official group protesting to Zhao Zhen again!
No one can help, Uncle Zhao, you have to resist!
Junchen was silent for a long time, and Zhao Zhen slowly spoke.
"Touching people's hearts with kindness, benevolence, and righteousness, and being loyal to national affairs is good to say, but it may not be possible to do it!" Zhao Zhen carefully considered the words, "The drunkard deciphered the bamboo book chronology, the ancient monarchs and ministers got along, and the rule of three generations was just the hope of the sages, which did not match the historical facts." Thanksgiving, gratitude and gratitude, you must first have people's hearts to succeed! ”
Zhao Zhen's voice suddenly rose, and he reprimanded angrily: "I am the first emperor of the Song Dynasty, benevolent and generous, and treats officials with great kindness, taking Duanming Hall as an example, the monthly salary is 50, 20 stones of rice and wheat, 3 stones of rice, 5 stones of noodles, 2 catties of tea, 5 horses of silk in spring, 17 horses of silk in winter, 1 horse of Luo, and 20 taels of cotton...... Every year, 1,600 scales of firewood and charcoal, 7 stones of salt, 30 hectares of vocational fields, 70 servants' clothing and food, rice and so on, which is equivalent to no less than 5,000 yuan! ”
The more Zhao Zhen spoke, the faster he spoke, but the old faces of the officials present became redder and redder.
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are the most important in all dynasties, and they are by no means false.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, almost everything you can think of has been thought of.
Zaizhi is at the first level, and he can receive 300 yuan per month, in addition, there are also rice, firewood, charcoal, salt, silk and satin, ice and charcoal, tea, and even the rent is given!
Not only for the officials, but also for his family servants, and even for horses and forage, the court is all responsible.
This is just the main item, every New Year's Festival, the birthday of the emperor and empress, and various rewards, there are too many to count.
When Bao Zheng was in Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion, he talked to Wang Ning'an, and his annual income was converted into almost 3,000 yuan!
Lao Bao was shocked, because this money was just the year's income of the poorest house in the Great Song Dynasty!
The emperor is to raise a country to support one person, and the ruler is to raise a government to support one person!
With an unprecedented amount of money, Bao Zheng is desperate to work hard, eager to spill a blood, how much he has done, he feels sorry for the emperor's generous gift and the people's support.
It is precisely because of this that Bao Zheng has a very difficult understanding of Han Qi and Wang Gongchen, with their money, it is enough to eat several generations, and they are still greedy for ink, often millions of yuan, it is really difficult to fill the desire, and the people's hearts are insufficient!
So this time Bao Zheng resolutely did not kneel, let alone intercede for these two people, no matter how they were handled, they all deserved it.
Right is right, wrong is wrong, and nothing can be obscured.
Bao Zheng stood upright, ignoring everyone on the ground.
I only heard Zhao Zhen continue, "You Aiqing let me be extrajudicial to show kindness, saying that it can influence the ministers and let everyone do things wholeheartedly...... I want to ask you, has the court given so much? Why didn't you move? Why can't you do things well? Why can't you control your hands and feet? Is it necessary to pardon the two corrupt officials in order to move the hundred officials and make the hundred officials loyal to the Great Song Dynasty? What is this, and which of you can tell me? ”
Zhao Zhen's face turned blue with anger, and his voice kept echoing in the hall.
"You give them two intercession, do you dare to guarantee that from now on, there will be no corrupt officials in the Great Song Dynasty? Or, in other words, can any of you stand up and tell me how to put an end to corruption? Could it be that when you meet a corrupt official, you will pardon one? ”
Jia Changchao knelt at the front, his old face was green, sweat was dripping down, his whole body was trembling, and his heart kept wailing...... What do you have to do with this, pretend to be dumb, what if you are embarrassed, you have to find a scolding, you really do it yourself.
Lao Jia can't wait to give himself two mouths.
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, "Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, I will no longer forgive any corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the court will give everything that should be given, and no one owes it to corrupt officials...... From now on, if one is found, one will be severely punished, and no mercy will be given. I hope you all keep in mind that you don't defy the law, and don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes! ”
……
After saying this, Uncle Zhao left directly, without even saying a word about retreating from the court, and all the ministers knelt on the ground, looking at each other, embarrassed.
The emperor has already said that the court does not owe you anything!
That's what the big guy owes to the court, and he can't live this day!
Everyone was in mourning and panicking.
Wen Yanbo struggled to stand up and reached out to pick up Jia Changchao.
"Brother Ziming, you are the head of the hundred officials, but you have to hold on for the big guy, the younger brother is willing to advance and retreat with Brother Ziming!"
Jia Changchao looked at Wen Yanbo's shameless old face, and really wanted to go up and give him an old punch!
Why did you get to the point where you are today, it's not that you are shameless, colluding with Wang Ningan, and you have to track it down, so that the civil officials lose face.
It's okay, you dig the pit, you jump by yourself, and the old man won't play with you.
Jia Changchao took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, and his smile was incomparably warm and kind, as if it was blooming......
"Brother Kuanfu, there is such a big case, the old man is ashamed to be the prime minister, he is really incompetent, the old man will carry it on his shoulders, and in the future, the political affairs hall will ask you to bear more Brother Kuanfu, the old man will go to the table to ask for the guilt, whether it is to cut off the head or dismiss the official, the court will rely on Brother Kuanfu."
After speaking, Jia Changchao did not hesitate and strode away.
The rest of Wen Yanbo was dumbfounded.
Didn't you put me on the fire to roast me, old thing?
Your Majesty is angry with hundreds of officials because of Han Qi's case, and the monarch and ministers are facing each other, at this time, as a ruler, it is the most difficult thing to do, towards the emperor, the hundred officials are unhappy, towards the hundred officials, the emperor is unhappy, and the whole is an angry little daughter-in-law.
Wen Yanbo was unwilling to be a thunderbolt, so he naturally wanted to persuade Jia Changchao to continue to work.
How do you know that Jia Xianggong is also a bachelor, the old man has been the prime minister for so many years, and he has had enough, I'm sorry, I'm going to run away, and the rest of the things, you Wen Kuanfu will come by himself!
Wen Yanbo was depressed and crazy, and he turned his head to find Wang Ning'an.
Because at this time, only he and Zhao Zhen can talk, and with him to maneuver, there may be room for turnaround. But Wen Yanbo looked around for a long time, and couldn't find any trace of Wang Ningan, where did he go?
……
The prison is dark, cold and damp.
Someone led the way in front and led Wang Ningan to a relatively tidy cell.
"Criminal Han Qi, someone has come to see you!"
Han Qi was startled, and hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was Wang Ning'an, he first glared at him, and then seemed to have landed from the air with one foot, and the whole person was stupid!
Wang Ningan is here, the old enemy is here!
What does this mean, could it be that he Han Zhigui is dead, and there is no way to save him?
Han Qi thought about it a lot...... He always felt that Zhao Zhen didn't dare to kill the killer, and he Han Qi could still come back to life, and it was because of this thought that he had survived until now.
But when Wang Ningan arrived as a victor, Han Qi knew that his dream was shattered! The whole person collapsed rapidly, aging and decaying at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye...... There was a layer of dead air floating on his face......
"Han Xianggong, you probably guessed that His Majesty scolded the hundred officials for betraying the emperor's favor in the Golden Palace, and rejected the three kneeling pleas. Soon you, Han Xianggong, will be in a different place...... Nothing else, we have been fighting for so many years, and I will send you a pot of practice wine. ”
Wang Ningan didn't care about Han Qi, he took out the wine glass, poured a glass for Han Qi, and then poured another glass for himself.
"This ...... Is this Gyokuro elixir? It smells so good! ”
Han Qi's eyes were confused.
Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "What kind of jade dew elixir, it's just soju bought on the street, come and try it!" ”
"Huh? I, I taste! ”
Han Qi still didn't believe it, snatched the wine glass, took a sip, the wine rolled in his mouth, a little rushed, and a little sour...... It's really not Gyokuro elixir, but why is it so delicious!
It's 10,000 times better than all the fine wines I've ever drunk in my life!
"Hey......" Han Qi pursed his lips, with an endless aftertaste, "Wang Xianggong, is there anything else?" ”
"Yes, not only wine, but also food!"
Wang Ningan poured another cup for Han Qi, and then took out a few side dishes, pig's head meat, white chicken, mixed cucumbers, broad beans, Han Qi picked up a piece of pig's head meat and chewed it carefully.
"In the past, the old man only ate the loin of the pig, selected 300 catties of fat pigs, slammed the back with a wooden stick dozens of times before eating, and took out the loin to cook while the pig was not dead, which was the most tender and delicious, but today's pig's head meat is also good."
Wang Ningan snorted, "The shit is tender, it's swollen and congested, if you want to eat it, I'll have someone beat you with 80 sticks and cut one off your back, how about it?" ”
Han Qi shook his head angrily, "Burn the qin and cook the crane, burn the qin and cook the crane!" Wang Xianggong, you are so indecent! After scolding, Han Qi suddenly laughed at himself, "Loyalty, in fact, if you think about it, what you said is not bad...... The old man looked back and thought about it, he really didn't know himself today...... How about it, Xianggong Wang, do you want to listen to the old man's dying words? ”
