Chapter 255: The Proposal of Recruitment
Looking at it, he was about to walk out of the hall, Liang Shicheng was also weak in his heart, if he really went out, these squad guards were afraid that they would really cut off his head.
Liang Shicheng wanted to slow down, but he also knew that once he showed a slight fear of death, then he would really be doomed. Tian Hu and Wang Qing's rebellion had setbacks, but they were suppressed by him, and it can be said that he was the culprit who fooled Zhao Ji. If Zhao Ji is determined to pursue this matter, I am afraid that even the Nine Clans will be light.
He can only gamble, if he wins, he can save his surname, and maybe he can be trusted by Zhao Ji even more. He has been by Zhao Ji's side for more than ten years, but he knows that Zhao Ji is a person, you can be talentless, you can be virtuous, even if you are heinous, as long as you are loyal to him, then Zhao Ji will give you a chance.
When Wang Hao and others heard Liang Shicheng say this, they all grabbed a life-saving straw, crying one by one, saying that they were all to cater to the emperor, so they didn't dare to play.
But Zhu Banzhi didn't care what they said, just kept driving them out.
"Stop."
Zhao Ji spit out a word with difficulty, although his voice was still full of anger, but it was very wonderful in the ears of the civil and military officials.
Wang Hao and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked the emperor for his grace.
Zhao Ji was also eager to kill all the civil and military officials, but thinking that now that the four were in turmoil, if he killed the civil and military officials again, I am afraid that it would really shake the country, so he had to show mercy.
Zhao Ji sighed and said, "The ministers don't dare to admonish directly, and it's also my fault." I will issue an edict to appease all the people in the world, and at the same time humbly ask for advice, open up the way of speech, understand the people's feelings, and reform the maladministration. ”
Although Su Yuanjing was frightened, he was also very relieved to see the Son of Heaven repenting, and said: "The emperor is sage, the emperor is talented and intelligent, if he can govern diligently, in a few years, he will definitely be able to make the country and the people safe, and the emperor can also become a generation of Ming monarchs." ”
Wang Hao said: "The emperor is the lord of the world, how can he make an edict against himself." The people are thieves, but it is because Cai Jingxi said that the law change is unpopular, and the burden on the people is too heavy. After the minister became the prime minister, he began to repeal Cai Jing's decree, but it was still short and could not be effective for a while. But Weichen believes that in time, the people will also know that the court is sympathetic to the people's feelings and will not follow the traitors to make trouble. ”
Cai You also said: "The minister thinks that the most important thing now is to send troops to exterminate the thieves who are in trouble, and the court will destroy them in one fell swoop with the power of thunder, so as to deter those people." Otherwise, the emperor's edict will only make those thieves think that the emperor was ...... by them. ”
Speaking of this, Cai You looked at the emperor with an embarrassed expression.
Zhao Ji slapped on the dragon chair and said angrily: "I am the king of a country, and I have millions of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, so I will be afraid of those thieves?" ”
Cai You hurriedly said: "Those thieves have always bewitched the people, especially Manichaeism and Jingdong Chaogai, who are even more hypocritical, confusing the foolish people and slandering the emperor. If the emperor makes an edict at this time, those thieves will probably take the opportunity to put all the blame on the emperor. Those rural people are ignorant and ignorant, and the ministers are afraid that the emperor's move will be self-defeating, and let the thieves sit big. ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He feels that he also has some mistakes, but the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, he can issue an edict to punish himself and review his own mistakes, but he cannot tolerate others to accuse him. He can't even admit the charges that those thieves have put on his head.
Seeing this, Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "Now that the people's grievances are boiling, if the emperor issues an edict against himself, he can win the hearts of the people, on the contrary, I am afraid that the people will be used by thieves, which is not good for the court." ”
When Wang Hao heard this, he refuted: "Previously, Lord Su also said that there were only 10,000 thieves in Liangshan, and the world would not be in chaos. How can you force the emperor to condemn himself now, and the emperor will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of those chaotic ministers and thieves, and it will also go down in history. I don't know what the heart of Lord Su is? ”
Su Yuanjing heard that Wang Hao was going to buckle his hat, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is dedicated to the country, and please ask the Holy Lord to be clear." ”
Zhao Ji looked at Su Yuanjing and said, "I believe in your character, I only ask you one word, is the world in chaos now?" ”
Su Yuanjing thought for a while and said: "Now that the four Kou are in turmoil, the situation in the southeast is indeed a bit erosive, but Master Tong has already led his troops south, and he thinks that the Manichaean rebellion can be pacified without saying anything." Although the remaining Chao Gai, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing are all giants, they are not enough to shake the country's foundation and disturb the world. ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I will not issue an edict for myself first, and send a large army to exterminate these thieves first, and then I will decide according to the situation." ”
When Wang Hao heard this, he hurriedly said: "The emperor is sage." ””
A group of annihilators also followed suit.
If the emperor all issued an edict and admitted his mistakes, then they, as ministers of the court, would naturally not be able to escape the blame. The emperor admits his mistakes, and no one dares to do anything to him, but if they admit their mistakes, they will be attacked by political enemies. Those Qingliu who were squeezed out of the center of the court by them are afraid that they will take advantage of the opportunity to rise, once they are entered by the Qingliu and have the upper hand, the evil things they have done over the years are enough to break their bones.
Seeing this, Su Yuanjing had no choice but to say: "The emperor is sage, but the matter of opening up the way can not be delayed any longer, the emperor can decree that all the people can write a book, understand the people's feelings, and prescribe the right medicine to reform the maladministration." ”
Wang Hao heard Su Yuanjing say that all the people are in the book, and he couldn't help but secretly scold Su Yuanjing for being insidious, these people are notorious among the people, if the people can also be booked, I am afraid that the emperor will see all the letters that curse them.
Wang Huang said: "The people only pay attention to their own small profits, what opinions can they have on the imperial court decrees, and once the people are allowed to write, it will inevitably be to let the imperial court reduce taxes, and now the war is tight, and the treasury is urgent." If they are allowed to write a book, they will inevitably not be able to adopt it, and I am afraid that the people will think that the emperor is just a show, but not beautiful. ”
Liang Shicheng also said with a concerned face: "The ministers and local officials of the DPRK and the central government have hundreds of folds every time, and if the people are allowed to write again, I am afraid that the folds will be piled up by then." ”
Zhao Ji was disgusted with a lot of twists and turns, and it was time-consuming and laborious to review, so he asked Liang Shicheng to do it for him, and when he heard Liang Shicheng say that it might be piled up, he immediately frowned.
Su Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw Zhao Ji's expression, but he was also afraid that he would make a lot of twists and turns at once, but instead forced Zhao Ji back to his original form and abandoned the government.
After thinking about it, he said: "It is indeed a little inappropriate for Wanmin to go to the book, but it is possible to let the students of Tai go to the book." One is to listen to the voices of officials outside the court, and the other is that most of them will become court officials in the future, and the emperor can also see them in advance. ”
Wang Hao, Cai You and others said that they had been surrounding Zhao Ji, but they didn't want the emperor to hear other voices, and they were about to come out to refute.
Liang Shicheng saw Wang Hao's movements, and hurriedly gave Wang Hao a look to stop Wang Hao's move.
Liang Shicheng also secretly scolded Wang Huang for being stupid, the emperor only said two things: the edict of the guilty and the wide opening of the road, you refute both things, how can the emperor be happy.
Zhao Ji saw that no one objected, and felt that if he was just a student, he should still be able to deal with it, so he said: "Okay, let's do what Su Qing said, that is, from now on, too students can also go to school." ”
Su Yuan Jingjian finally had a slight change, and hurriedly praised: "The emperor is sage." ”
Naturally, the ministers also followed with a burst of praise.
Zhao Ji was not praised by the civil and military officials, so he forgot about the situation today, waved his hand to stop everyone's praise, and said: "After today, I will govern the government diligently, and I also hope that the secretary and others will work hard, otherwise it is no wonder that I will be ruthless." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Wang Hao and Cai You.
Wang Hao and Cai You were also shocked when they saw Zhao Ji's warning eyes.
Although both of them were important ministers of the court, they ignored the government and put their minds on making Zhao Ji happy. The two of them usually said that the biggest activity was to serve Zhao Ji in the palace to open a music banquet, and often regardless of their identity, they changed into a short shirt and narrow costume, painted their faces with colorful colors, and mixed in the middle of advocating excellence and Confucianism, speaking some vulgar vernacular in the market, and making Zhao Ji happy.
They often take Zhao Ji's micro-clothes out of the palace and visit the Qinglou tile shop, if there is a stunning female record, they will also take Zhao Ji to try it.
The official positions of the other people still have some past achievements, but the two of them obtained it completely by flattering the emperor. Seeing that Zhao Ji seemed to be really going to change, he was also secretly complaining, the two of them could hollow out their minds to think of some novel things for Zhao Ji to enjoy, but this handling of political affairs requires experience and wisdom, which is not something that people like them can play.
However, the two of them did not dare to hesitate, so they could only shout with the ministers and do their best, and then die.
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then remembered his playmate Gao Yulai, and said in a deep voice: "Liangshan thieves killed the court officials, stole the city, built a new year, and became the king." It was the heinous heinousness that the Qing and the others thought they could send soldiers and horses to exterminate them. ”
When Su Yuanjing heard this, he came out and said: "When the ministers heard that the thieves in Liangshan used to do the right thing for the sky, they only killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and did not disturb the people. After stealing Qingzhou, it was exempted from agricultural taxes and bought the hearts of the people. If you send troops to attack, you may not be able to win if you lose your troops, so why don't you give an order to recruit An, and then send them to attack Tian Hu and Wang Qing. ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he said angrily: "The Liangshan thief called the king a rebellion, and killed the important ministers of the court, how can such a thief recruit peace?" ”
Su Yuanjing played: "Although the people of Liangshan killed Lord Gao, they read out many charges against Gao Yu in Jeju, and Lin Chongyuan, the leader of Liangshan, was the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, but he was killed only because the son of Lord Gao coveted the beauty of Lin Chong's wife, so he was cornered. The death of Lord Gao is also for a reason, but the people of Liangshan are different from thieves like Wang Qing and Tian Hu. ”
"Shut up."
Zhao Ji drank Yuanjing and said angrily: "No matter how heinous Gao Yu is, he is a member of my Great Song Dynasty, even if he wants to ask for guilt, it will not be their turn." Whoever raises the proposal of recruiting peace again, I will punish him for fornicating with Liangshan. ”
Su Yuanjing saw that Zhao Ji was annoyed and ashamed, so he had no choice but to retreat.
