Chapter 107: Three Things
This time the lawsuit was boring, it was completely like a grandfather teaching his grandson, those officials just pleaded guilty without the slightest defense, although the people outside the hall watched it wonderfully and scolded it enjoyable, but Zhao Zheng felt that Chen Shan was lacking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So on the second day, Zhao Zheng replaced Huang Miaomiao to sue, Zhao Zheng as her counselor to argue for her, and the breakthrough of the incident was changed to plead for Fang Qizhang, and sued Qiu Sanye for all kinds of evil deeds, and accused Huzhou officials related to him.
When Qiu Sanye heard the news, he packed up and prepared to escape at night.
Although he has a lot of power in the rivers and lakes, when he meets the national teacher, he has no confrontation at all, and now even fools in Huzhou know that Huang Miaomiao's distant cousin is the national teacher. Huang Miaomiao sued him, isn't it equivalent to the national teacher suing him?
Qiu Sanye has been in black and white for many years, and there are countless hidden eyes, Huang Miaomiao's form of paper has just been handed over, and someone has notified him, even the soft ones have not had time to clean up, and they immediately went out of the city as soon as possible, and they didn't want to have laid a net waiting for him outside the door.
Qiu Sanye is just no one wants to move in Huzhou, the crimes are too numerous to write, and there is no need for Zhao Zheng to find any evidence, the people of Huzhou have celebrated after learning that Qiu Sanye was arrested, and the prisoner car escorted by Qiu Sanye said that the people were crazy to vent their anger, rotten eggs are still kind-hearted, and there are not a few who directly splash dung.
In the face of this kind of mass indignation, even if there is no sin in ancient times, they will choose to kill this person to vent the anger of the people, the law is like iron, the people's hearts are like furnaces, and no matter how hard the iron is, it will be melted in the furnace in the hearts of the people.
Huang Miaomiao and Qiu Sanye went to court, Qiu Sanye did not admit his guilt, but pushed everything to the people below, and picked himself cleanly, he knew that his death was not far away, and the criminal law of the national dynasty was lax and only for civil officials.
――
Zhao Zheng has been staying in Huzhou for many days, and has already alarmed the court, and several major events in the imperial court have happened to Zhao Zheng to solve in person, so he sent Qin to Huzhou.
As soon as Qin Cha entered Huzhou, he naturally knew about the big drama that was happening now, so he hurriedly reported to the court for eight hundred miles, and he went straight to the court, and the arrival of Qin Cha made many officials in Huzhou faint in fright, if they stabbed the matter to the court, they didn't know what punishment was waiting for them.
The Qincha is served by Zhao Shanxiang, who has newly entered the two prefectures, and this specification is very heavy, and it is not an important military event, so the prime minister will not be allowed to serve as the Qincha.
Zhao Shanxiang because of the meritorious service of Ping Li Quan, entered the two governments to sign the same book of the Privy Council, after Shi Mi went to the prime minister, the Shi Party was not there, Zheng Qingzhi, Xue Ji, Zhao Rushu, Zhao Shanxiang and him were close to him, and they could be regarded as Shi Dang.
The Southern Song Dynasty took the official position of the right prime minister and privy envoy as the prime minister, but after Shi Mi went to the prime minister, no one got the title, and now the two governments are headed by the governor and the privy deputy envoy Xuan Xuan, plus Chen Guicheng, who has always been at odds with Shi Miyuan, entered the two mansions, and Zhao Shanxiang was also a little swaying because of Zhao Zheng, so the two mansions were barely tied. Shi Danghe, as the banner of the anti-Shi Party, Xuan Xuan naturally fights the main battle, although he is a thorough main battle faction in his heart, but the situation is such that he has to fight with all his strength, politics is like this, and personal will is sometimes insignificant.
――
As soon as Zhao Shanxiang came, he announced the suspension of the trial, and Zhao Zheng knew the importance of the matter when he saw that Zhao Shanxiang came in person, and he also acquiesced, and Zhao Shanxiang dismissed everyone in the court. Ignoring this matter, he said directly: "On behalf of the imperial court, I ask you three things, one is that Mongolia sent an envoy to Lin'an, asking to attack the Jin State through the Song Realm. Can you spy on the heavens, probe the Mongolian intentions, do I borrow this way or not? ”
Zhao Zheng was surprised when he heard this: "I have always stayed out of the imperial court, and military affairs have always been presided over by the ministers, why did you travel thousands of miles to ask my opinion this time?" Zhao Xianggong also asked you to give me a word of truth. ”
Zhao Shanxiang looked solemn: "This is the meaning of the official family!" ”
Zhao Zheng saw that Zhao Shanxiang's tone was a little strange, and asked, "Then does Zhao Xianggong think that I have the ability to meddle in this matter?" ”
Zhao Shanxiang sighed and said: "The teachers and students of the country know it, and they are naturally capable, but the official family openly pushed you to the front desk this time and asked about the government, but I am afraid that the future generations will be full of history, and the official family and the national teacher will not be able to escape a lump sum." ”
Zhao Zheng smiled, full of history...... The pen is always in the hands of Confucianism, he naturally can't escape being blackened, Zhao Shanxiang smelled the breath of prison from Huzhou, and tactfully reminded Zhao Zheng not to do anything against those Confucians.
"Then what does Zhao Xianggong think that I, Zhao Zheng, have done for the Great Song Dynasty?"
"The national teacher has made great achievements for thousands of years, and he has been blessed for eternity. Who dares to say wrong? ”
"The merits are in the hearts of the people, not in the pen of others, Zhao Zheng also thanked Xianggong for reminding me, I will pay attention to proportions in this matter. What do you think about Mongolia's borrowing of the road? What do you guys think? "You are Zhao Shanxiang's idea, you naturally refer to Shi Dang's idea.
Zhao Shanxiang understood the meaning of Zhao Zheng's words, but did not answer, but said in a simulated way: "To borrow or not to borrow is between the two, if my Song Kingdom can borrow the way, the gold thief will not escape destruction, and we can take the opportunity to recover the land of Liangjing Henan, but the price is that we need to face Mongolia directly." If you don't borrow it, you can let the Jin State continue to be the barrier of the Song State, continue to accumulate national strength, and then try to recover. And now it is up to the national teacher to judge whether the dynasty is now capable of facing Mongolia. "After receiving muskets, artillery, and new steelmaking technology, Song State's confidence soared, and he thought that he might now have the capital to fight the Mongols. Now the imperial court wants Zhao Zheng to judge whether these weapons can resist the Mongols. Zhao Shanxiang did not say anything about the attitude of the Shi Party, but he was afraid that Zhao Zheng would be biased and affect his judgment.
Zhao Zheng didn't have any likes or dislikes for Zhao Shanxiang's heart, but he was a little disappointed and said: "Xianggong, although I am a person in the red dust, my power, fame, and wealth are like floating clouds to me, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Shanxiang nodded, with Zhao Zheng's current influence on the official family, he can completely gain more power, but he has maintained restraint in many aspects, basically did not interfere in the government politics, and every time the government asked for him. As for prestige, Zhao Zheng's prestige is now like a saint, what is the use of more prestige for him? And wealth is even more impossible, now that person in the Song Kingdom dares to say that there is a wealth of national teachers? However, in the face of the franchise, the national teacher not only showed his greed, but generously benefited the court and the world, which is rare in ancient and modern times.
Zhao Zheng and Xuan Zheng are now faintly political allies, and such a major event should be in the same spirit, but Zhao Zheng didn't know his attitude at all, so he had to say truthfully, "So how can I participate in the court battle?" I judged that it was okay to borrow and understand, and I also had a way to face the Mongol soldiers, and it would be better not to borrow, and when his brother was three or five years old, and the country was strong, he could succeed in one blow. ”
Zhao Shanxiang nodded, Zhao Zheng's attitude was already obvious, so he said: "Princess Zheng Xiang Zhang does not borrow." "After Shi Mi left the prime minister, the Shi Party respected Zheng Qingzhi, so his attitude also represents the attitude of the Shi Party.
Zhao Zheng was a little surprised in the face of this result, although he and Xuan Xuan have common political interests, but they secretly worked the issue of who visited whom first, and whoever visited first would represent that the status of the other person was relatively respectable, and it was normal for Xuan Xuan to not be able to pull down his face as the current prime minister.
Zhao Zheng was very busy, and subconsciously did not consciously have this problem, until Zhao Shanxiang said that it suddenly dawned on him, if Xuan Xuan sent someone to inform him of his proposition in advance, although Zhao Zheng still has this attitude, but how to express it is very knowledgeable. And Shi Dang is willing to dispatch Zhao Shanxiang to announce the decree, and Xuanzhen only has himself and Chen Guicheng on his side, Chen Guicheng did not go out to announce the decree, and it is even more impossible for him to come.
Zhao Shanxiang was a little apologetic, he was a little plotted against Zhao Zheng, and now he took advantage of the fire and said: "Although Shi Xianggong has a relationship with the national teacher, he has never deliberately obstructed you. ”
Zhao Zheng stopped, even if he had a rift with Xuanxuan, it didn't matter, but it was impossible to get along with the Shi Party, and things were not at a dead end. "What about two other things?"
"The second is that Mongolia wants to buy firearms from us."
Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing, how could he buy a firearm in Mongolia, the firearm used by Li Quanshi in the Song Kingdom must not be hidden for a long time, and Yan Tianwu used a firearm to fight Mongolia in Shandong, and Mongolia will naturally have the heart to buy it after learning about the power of firearms.
The reason why Mongolia can be rampant in the world, in addition to the Mongolian warriors can ride and fight well, there is also an important reason that they have no distractions, as long as it is a fast and effective way to kill people, they are willing to use, rather than holding their own invincible thinking of riding and shooting, so in some ways, they are the biggest thirsters for science and technology, the use of return cannons, the use of plague as weapons, and the first thing after the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty in history is to find craftsmen in order to get the manufacturing method of the assault rifle, etc., all verify this statement. They are the destroyers of civilization, but they are also the propagators.
"Is this a joke?" Zhao Zheng couldn't help but say.
"Mongolia promised 50,000 good horses, including 20,000 mares, and Shandong Lianglu used it as a bargaining chip to buy 10,000 arquebuses and a million rounds of ammunition, and they delivered them first."
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he couldn't laugh, Mongolia had such a big bargaining chip, which showed that they realized the huge power of the arquebus. The most important thing is that their offer is indeed very high, so that Zhao Zheng can't help but be tempted, and with this batch of orders, how far should the production line of Song Guo arquebuses be expanded? If you can sell 10,000 to Mongolia, then you can make 100,000 arquebuses. Obviously, many people in the imperial court also recognized the problem, so they came to ask Zhao Zheng's attitude. After all, when it comes to firearms, Zhao Zheng's authority is beyond reproach.
"Talk slowly, drag it out for three years and five years!" Mongolia's Middle East is now very unstable, the wave of uprisings continues, in history, Ogedai destroyed the Jin State, organized an army, and swept the Middle East again, so in that period, the Southern Song Dynasty faced Mongolia was not its main force, so now Mongolia needs this batch of firearms. Zhao Zheng just wanted to drag it slowly, so that Mongolia could not concentrate on making arquebuses by themselves, and by the time they waited to make simple arquebuses, the Song Dynasty had already completely replaced them with flintlock pistols. At that time, the advantage of the Song State will be one-sided.
"What's the third thing?"
Zhao Shanxiang's expression was a little weird, he was silent for a while, and said slowly: "General Yan has defeated Laizhou. ”
