Another day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the officials of the political affairs hall received the year-end summary submitted by the three divisions, and everyone was silent, and after all the chief officials read this copy, there was no communication at all, only a long sigh. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not too bad, but it's too good, the annual income is 110 million guan, an increase of about 40 million guan compared with last year, and 10 million higher than the peak of 100 million guan during the Xiaozong period.

The reason for this beautiful financial statement is that there is no other name, Zhao Zheng.

In the three years of Shaoding and the two years of Tuntian in Guangdong, a total of 750,000 mu was obtained, and excluding the rations paid to the displaced people, a total of nearly 3.2 billion catties of grain and 3.4 billion stone of grain were obtained, which was enough for more than 5 million people to have food rations for a year. The extra more than 3 billion stone grain was all returned to the official warehouse, and this merit alone was enough to make the two governors go down in history. In addition, the popularization of kelp seaweed and the development of breeding technology, it is difficult to count the folk coastal planting, and the official farms alone harvest nearly 100 million catties of seafood, which is another innumerable achievement of the living people.

The imperial court specializes in glass, soap, perfume and nitrogen fertilizer, and has close contacts with the Nanyang countries, as well as Korea and Japan, and has made a profit of more than 20 million guan.

In addition, Zhao Zheng pointed out two copper mines, two silver mines, and three iron mines for the imperial court, so that the imperial court had more than 10 million guan out of thin air, and the north expanded several states, paid taxes, and increased by several million, and this year's financial difficulties have been greatly alleviated.

But isn't that what the man who led it all is now in exile, and the world is impermanent.

If it hadn't been for that trip to Huzhou, all this might not have happened, Huzhou is really a bad land, Zheng Qingzhi thought.

If Zhao Zheng brought the torture instrument and was exiled to Meizhou, there was still room to discuss, but above the court today, the attitude of the official family made Zai Zhimen realize that the current situation has reached the point of endless death.

The emperor has begun to dislike them, the Taoism of the national teacher has become a climate, coupled with the support of the official family, this Confucianism is in a precarious vein, and it is definitely not a sensational thing, here he can't help but sigh in his heart, the national teacher is simply not a person, with his own strength, it is enough to support the prosperity of the entire Taoism, without the need for others to contribute bricks and tiles, this battle for Taoism is greater than life and death, and the two mansions are far away from most of the Great Song Dynasty on this issue.

And judging from the gossip circulating among the people, the Imperial City Division must have a lot of evidence in their hands. Neither for the sake of the entire civilian clique, nor for themselves, there is now no way back.

The two governments were dull for a morning, ignoring each other, and after Chen Guicheng finished his errand, the other governors postponed it like a tacit understanding, squeezed Chen Guicheng out of the circle and discussed alone.

Chen Guicheng disdains it, and he is not enough to worry about.

——

After the two governments waited for Chen Guicheng to leave, the rest of the people's hearts were not as calm as they appeared, and Xue Ji slowly spoke: "Is this really the case?" I am afraid that future generations will be full of history, and we will be like reckless people, leaving a reputation for future generations. ”

As Zheng Qingzhi, who had experienced the case of King Ji back then, was calmer than everyone at this time: "We have been stinking for 10,000 years, and what we are doing now is just to straighten the bow of the ship for the Great Song Dynasty. The Son of Heaven lost his morality and violated the ancestral teachings, and we had to endure the pain......"

"Has this person ever been chosen?" There are many clans in Lin'an, but Taizu's lineage is already sparsely populated, and it is even more difficult to find a suitable one in a hurry, Xue Ji asked.

"Zhao Biying......" Xuanxuan spit out the name with difficulty?

"Who?" Zhao Rushu's instinctive reaction, the word "must" is Taizong's bloodline, twice as small as him, although they vaguely knew about the conspiracy between Xuan Xuan and Zheng Qingzhi, but they did not tell him the truth.

Among the two mansions, Zhao Rushu and Zhao Shanxiang are both after the clan, but they are very distant from the imperial bloodline, but they are closer than Zhao Yunlai, but as the bloodline of Taizong, it is impossible for them to ascend to the throne after Jianyan crossed to the south.

"Tracing back to the clear stream, it is time to welcome back the bloodline of Taizong, if this matter is successful, we will return it to the government, and then we will look up to the two Kuang to help the Zhao family." Xuan Xuan said to Zhao Shanxiang and Zhao Rushu.

Zhao Shanxiang couldn't digest the information in Xuan Xuan's mouth for a while, and asked, "Dare to ask what kind of line this Zhao Biying is?" ”

"It is the lineage of King Pu, and it is said that the birth of the year before last is said to be auspicious clouds from the sky, and there is the breath of the Son of Heaven."

Zhao Shanxiang knew what the hell they had after listening to Xuanxuan's nonsense, now is a very important time, it is not appropriate to be suspicious internally, Zhao Shanxiang also opened a public announcement: "Supporting the young master, we are sitting on the infamy of usurping power, not to mention that since Gaozong returned to power in the Taizu lineage, the government and the opposition have not thought about him." ”

At this time, Xuan Xuan also had to throw out his hole cards: "Only when we welcome the Taizong lineage, the clan and the official family will stand on our side." What's more, Taizong's bloodline is all over the government and the opposition, and many pillars of talent help them, and half of this Great Song Dynasty is stable. ”

After Taizong's descendants were isolated from the throne, one by one seemed to suddenly open their minds, and there were many Jinshi in the past hundred years, such as Zhao Ruyu, the prime minister of Ningzong Dynasty, and now Zhao Rushu and Zhao Shanxiang. and Zhao Kui all have clan blood.

The reason why Xuanxuan and Zheng Qingzhi chose Taizong's bloodline was to stabilize the second Zhao and welcome back Taizong, and their identities became close relatives of the clan, and it was not impossible to specialize in several generations to win the throne.

Faced with this tempting bargaining chip, Zhao Shanxiang and Zhao Rushu decided to take a gamble.

"It's just that this hasty incident, I am somewhat sure that the forbidden army can be stabilized, but the defenders of this large internal ......" Zhao Shanxiang said his last doubt.

Zheng Qingyi said with a righteous face: "I have persuaded the Queen Mother that the Son of Heaven has asked for the crime of disobedience, and it has just come to fruition. This is the last chance for my generation, pull out the chaos and put things right, and future generations will understand our hard work, and the foundation of Confucianism cannot be destroyed in our hands! ”

——

Chen Guicheng has been quite tired for Zhao Zheng these days, and he has fallen asleep unconsciously while sitting in the carriage, his coachman is an old man who has been with him for more than ten years, and the driving is quite gentle, and there will be absolutely no bumps in Lin'an City.

However, at this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Chen Guicheng was suddenly awakened, he opened the curtain, saw that someone was blocking his way, and patiently asked: "What's the matter?" ”

The man held a handwritten letter in his hand and respectfully handed it to Chen Guicheng: "This is Zheng Xianggong's handwritten letter, please take a look at it!" ”

Chen Guicheng glanced at the man and closed the curtains: "No!" Then the carriage started slowly.

The man froze in place, not expecting Chen Guicheng to be like this, wouldn't his own arrangements be in vain, that person was also full of courage, and shouted at Chen Guicheng: "I don't want Chen Xianggong to be such a small person, this matter is very important, and it involves the palace, since Chen Xianggong is not interested, then go back and receive the order." With that, the man prepared to leave.

Chen Guicheng's carriage stopped again: "Wait, you can show me that handwritten letter!" ”

The man respectfully handed the handwritten book to Chen Guicheng.

After a long time, Chen Guicheng said softly: "Go to Hongyun Building." ”

The man was like a heavy burden, and then said to Chen Guicheng: "There is a shortcut here, I will take the prime minister." ”

The carriage followed the man, slowly walking through alleys and alleys.

Chen Guicheng felt something, opened the curtains, and looked at the sky in this alley, everything withered in winter, but he thought of what kind of situation it would be here in spring, maybe there would be many children chasing and playing in this alley, and they didn't want to be so lonely and bleak today.

The carriage came to a sudden stop.

Chen Guicheng saw that there were two old and young monks in front of him blocking the way, and there were many crazy monks in the Southern Song Dynasty who did not respect the etiquette and law.

The black stick in the little monk's hand was wrapped in a black cloth, and there was a solemn feeling. He walked slowly towards the carriage.

Chen Guicheng frowned, ready to let the soldiers disperse this unknown monk, of course, there are soldiers and entourage when the governor goes out, and there can be sixteen guards to accompany him. Chen Guicheng doesn't like so many people to follow him, and it is usually enough to go out and bring eight.

The guard strode towards the little monk, and the old monk began to chant a mantra, which turned out to be the voice of the Buddha who had passed the soul.

The little monk suddenly burst into a shout, and he was only six or seven steps away from the guard, and in an instant, he tore open the black cloth, revealing a long knife, which was instantly inserted into the guard's neck.

At the same time, two rows of people with flintlock pistols suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides of the alley, and the sound of firecrackers at the entrance of the alley suddenly rang out non-stop. The sound of flintlock pistols was muffled.

Bang bang bang

In the carriage, Chen Guicheng crumpled the letter in his hand and swallowed it into his belly.

The old monk walked in slowly and opened the curtain of the carriage: "Amitabha, old man Hongzhi, come to send the prime minister on the road!" ”

Chen Guicheng was quite calm, and he didn't want to lose his demeanor: "Zheng Qingzhi? ”

Hongzhi shook his head: "National teacher, Lao Qu is here to get rid of you as a national teacher!" The minister should not take the national teacher to court! ”

Chen Guicheng looked up to the sky and shouted: "How stupid the world is! ”

The knife flashed, and the little monk's knife smeared into Chen Guicheng's neck.

Zen Master Hongzhi single-handedly, and several people quickly jumped off the wall.

"Your soldiers are divided into two ways, one is to go to Baiyun Palace to inform Zheng Qingzhi and Xuan Xuan that there is a big move, please take more precautions in Baiyun Palace, and the other is to inform the leader of this matter and let him secretly report to the official's family, Zheng Qingzhi has rebelled! The rest of the people will go south with me to protect the national teacher! ”

Everyone received the order and quickly cleaned up the scene.

Zen Master Hongzhi showed a wicked smile and said to the little monk: "The old man has endured for decades just for the sake of the present day, Zheng Qingzhi and Shi Miyuan only thought that I would bow down to him and be his loyal dog!" Haha, the crime of rebellion, the extermination of the nine clans, I see how Shi Miyuan will turn over! Chonghua, you have to remember, patience, patience, those who can achieve great things are those who can endure! ”

The little monk clasped his hands together: "Master, why don't you let go of this surnamed Chen, let him know that Zheng Qingzhi intends to kill him, let him escape deliberately, so that they can kill each other!" ”

Zen Master Hongzhi was a little crazy: "In case this surnamed Chen disturbs this good show, it will not disappoint the audience of this grand event!" ”

"Who's the audience?"

"Naturally, he is a national teacher."

"The national teacher knows about this?"

"The national teacher is an immortal in the world, he knows and has to know, and he has to know if he doesn't know." (To be continued.) )
