In the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan was completely pro-government, and Zhao Huan also sat on the throne above the imperial court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, Liu Ping was also rewarded, and he was given more than 1,000 acres of fertile land outside the city, plus a huge courtyard, and he was a nouveau riche of Bianliang. The original small courtyard was moved to a large courtyard in Bianliang, which was the courtyard of a large rich family, but because the owner committed an accident, the house was confiscated, and now it is given to Liu Ping.

Of course, Liu Ping's good things are not only these, Zhao Huan gave Liu Ping a new task by the way, raided the homes of Liu Zhongwu and Gao Yu and others, that day, there were many people who followed Zhao Ji openly and secretly, after Zhao Ji was placed under house arrest, these military generals and ministers were imprisoned early, ready to be beheaded, Gao Yu, Liu Zhongwu and other ministers and generals who participated in the rebellion The homes of the generals were taken care of, Liu Ping personally led people to raid Gao Yu and Liu Zhongwu's homes, I don't know, I was scared when I went, Guang Gaoyu's home was found three million taels of silver, all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of treasures. In the high mansion of Nuoda, there are two or three hundred male servants and maidservants alone, and the four-room concubines of Gao Yu have been confiscated into lowly status. I'm afraid that this life will start from today and fall from the paradise of fine clothes and jade food into the dark hell. Liu Ping is not a pure upright gentleman, nor is he a heinous villain, he doesn't have so much overflowing sympathy in his heart, and this soul seems to be more and more integrated into this era, becoming more and more similar to this era. Of course, except for his beloved and the group of brothers who died in Paoze, Liu Ping's love is not so great. Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, following the wrong person is following the wrong person, and I don't have the leisure to care about these women's future affairs. So much so that when a civil official of Xifu beside Liu Ping trembled and asked Taiwei Liu if he wanted to keep those concubines for his own use, Liu Ping just coldly refused: "Do it according to the charter!" Don't think about some crooked sideways, if you dare to do this, I Liu Ping knows you! But this sword doesn't recognize you!! Liu Ping fiercely showed the Shang Fang sword he was carrying at his waist.

The Xifu official was stunned for a moment and realized that the sword in Liu Ping's hand was not an ornament, and the scabbard was still engraved with a dragon pattern. The shocked official's heart was like a wave, this blatant long sword decorated with dragon patterns was against the law! He suddenly remembered in his heart that this guy was actually holding the Shang Fang Sword given by His Majesty.

Immediately, the official of Xifu trembled in his heart, and said in his heart that he just wanted to have a friendship with Liu Killing God here, but he was actually rejected, but he didn't dare to speak again at the moment. This official was sent out by the Xifu to liquidate the family of the fired rebel minister, Gao Yu, Liu Zhongwu and others were beaten for the crime of rebellion, this big crime, that is, no matter how many gold medals for avoiding death, it doesn't matter. What's more, he was convicted by Zhao Huan himself. It's just that Cai Jing, the boss leader of the East Mansion, Cai Xianggong is really a tumbler in the officialdom, Taishang and His Majesty's fight is dark, but this Cai Gongxiang is alone, how many officials have been involved, but this husband is as stable as Mount Tai, even Zhao Huan can't catch any handle from his husband, so he has to be rewarded. It can be regarded as appeasing Cai Jing. It can be regarded as an explanation to the ministers who did not participate in the rebellion, but the difference between more and less and not giving is so big.

In return, this Prime Minister Cai is hands-on and diligent every day, so that many ministers feel that their husbands are close to this age, and they can retire in three or two years. But now it seems that it is really quite hard. raided Gao Yu's home and sent a lot of capable officials in the Eastern Mansion to help Liu Ping, as for whether this was really helping or fishing in troubled waters, it was unknown.

As the economic and political power center of the Northern Song Dynasty, all of them were controlled by the two prefectures, and Cai Jing, as the prime minister, took over the eastern mansion with his own hands, and he took over the eastern mansion for nearly 20 years. In the Song Dynasty, after following the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty, some modifications were made to it, and it became the system of two governments and three divisions. In order to strengthen internal control, the Privy Council (Xifu), which was in charge of military affairs, and Zhongshu Menxia (Zhengshitang, Dongfu), who was in charge of government affairs, jointly exercised administrative leadership, and was called "Erfu", which was the highest state organ at that time. The characteristic of the two-government system is the separation of civil and military powers. In the Song Dynasty, the "Zhongshu Menxia" was set up to hold the real power, but only the civil power, set up in the inner hall, called the political affairs hall, is the central administrative body, the chief is the prime minister, in order to limit the power of the prime minister, and set up another deputy prime minister "Participate in the governor's affairs" and the prime minister to discuss politics together, so that the prime minister can not dictate power. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the military power was separated from the hands of the prime minister, and the Privy Council was established to control the military of the whole country. The Privy Council and the Prime Minister's Hall stand side by side to "hold great power" and are known as the "Second Government". The powers of the privy envoy and the prime minister are equal, and the prime minister has no right to intervene in all important military affairs. The two are one literary and one martial, and they do not communicate with each other, and they play to the emperor separately. The emperor took advantage of the similarities and differences between the two to directly control military power and political power. The second government is the Song Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty on the basis of the improvement of the political hall, so that the separation of political power and military power, in addition to the financial power from the hands of the prime minister and set up three divisions: the degree branch, the household department, salt and iron in charge of the country's finances, the chief is the three envoys, also known as "the prime minister". These measures have led to the separation of military, government, and financial powers, and have strengthened the absolute monarchy to a great extent. Of course, these systems have also given birth to a lot of national moths, that is, Gao Yu, who was originally Zhao Ji's side, but he kicked a good balloon and mixed up the military position, and he went all the way to become the captain of the palace marshal's mansion.

It's just that these days, the old man Cai stays at home every day, except for going to the court early in the morning, and the cat is at home on weekdays. Hardly go out much. looked indifferent, but Zhao Huan and Li Gang were a little unsure of what this Prime Minister Cai was thinking. This good chess hand is to make all the courtiers are admired in their hearts, although the two do not help each other, but they have not been affected at all, this is the master of the career, I don't know how many people behind the scenes scolded this Cai Taishi sour like a loach, no one can catch it, it is really a cunning old fox.

The civil official of Dongfu touched Liu Ping's nose and didn't get any good words, so he left. Another civil official from Dongfu leaned over to the side of the civil official and whispered, "How is it?" Did the guy agree? ”

"Agree with a fart! This guy is a lump of wood at all, I thought I told him, he was a personal favor, and when the time comes, we can get some benefits from it. It's better than such a thankless task. The civil official said

"That's no way, this master has killed countless people, I heard people say that this Liu Ping defeated the Jin general in Yandi, and that night he cut down Liu Zhongwu, the commander of the Divine Guard." The civil official whispered.

"Shhhh Be quiet, be careful that the killing god hears it! When the time comes, you and I will not be able to escape. ”

"Hey~~ Let's do it first, the provincial business trip pool, if you are contacted by that Liu Killing God when the time comes, I'm afraid that you and my heads will have to move!!" That civil official.

"Hey, let's do it!!" As he spoke, the official took out the account book from his bosom and carefully checked it. I'm afraid that something is sloppy. Xindao, this Liu Killing God, is really a martial artist who doesn't know anything, don't you know that this raid on the eunuch's house, except for a part of the handover, the rest can be left for the person who confiscated it. This kind of unwritten rule can be regarded as an unspoken rule of officialdom, but this Liu Ping doesn't know anything about it.

Of course, according to Zhao Huan's prior requirements, all kinds of dirty silver must be sufficient for the treasury, so except for the three civil officials who participated in the raid who were sent by Li Gang, the rest were Liu Ping's own people and the civil officials sent by the Eastern Mansion to count them. According to Liu Ping's meaning, everything was handed over to the state treasury, but this proposal was blocked by Lu Zhiqiao, who was with Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was puzzled: "Wenyuan, why don't you hand it all over??" ”

"Master Hou! Can you hear what your subordinates say? Lu Zhiqiao said.

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

Lu Zhiqiao looked at the busy sergeants and petty officials inside and outside the Gao Mansion, who were counting the wealth and silk of the Gao Mansion one by one, but his eyes turned back and looked straight at Liu Ping, who was a little confused, and opened his mouth to say: "Master Hou! Do you want this money?!! ”

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course money is a good thing, naturally you want it, but this money is stolen silver." If you take it rashly, I'm afraid that someone will go to Your Majesty to give someone eye medicine. Wen Yuan, why are you asking so much? ”

"Haha, then I'll ask Master Hou again! Before coming to raid the Gao Mansion, does Your Majesty have anything to say? Lu Zhiqiao said.

"Your Majesty just said don't waste so much money!" Liu Ping thought secretly.

"Your Majesty, this is to test you." Lu Zhiqiao said.

"Test me?? How can you tempt me? Liu Ping said.

"If the subordinates are not mistaken. Your Majesty wants to know if you are greedy! Lu Zhiqiao said.

Liu Ping frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty has anything else in mind." What is the difference between being greedy and not being greedy? ”

"Master Hou, with all due respect, you are now a celebrity in front of Your Majesty, and many military bigwigs and ministers will get along with you. But there are a lot of stumbling blocks in secret. So they need your weakness, whether it's true or not!! ”

"Weakness??" Liu Ping muttered.

"Not bad! It's weakness, if you are not greedy, how can Your Majesty think that you are safe, after all, you have military power in your hands. Lu Ziqiao shook his head and continued: "So, Master Hou, you must be greedy for ink, and you can't be greedy, otherwise, what will your majesty think?" If you want to say that you don't like beautiful women, but don't like money, what will Your Majesty use to envelop you when the time comes?? I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will wonder if your goal is the throne!! The story of the death of this cunning rabbit and the cooking of lackeys has been going on for a long time, but there are a lot of them. ”

After Lu Zhiqiao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ping. I want to see something in Liu Ping's eyes.

"This... seems to make some sense, Wen Yuan, what about your opinion?" Liu Ping said lightly, there was no other look in his eyes, and he didn't see any nervousness at all, which made Lu Zhiqiao have to admire that this Hou Ye of his own is really a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"So, Master Hou, my subordinates think that you must be greedy for ink this time, and the more the better, even if you show a hungry appearance, so that Your Majesty can deceive those eyes in the open and in the dark! This time you have to take half of the money in this confiscation!! Lu Zhiqiao said.

"Half?? Millions of money, hehe, it's really a good way to get rich!! Liu Ping said.

"Yes!! Good!! Anyway, we have already written several times about the military expenses on our Yanjing side, saying that the funds are insufficient! Okay, Lao Tzu just gave him a good time to be greedy for ink! So that our Emperor Majesty can rest assured! Liu Ping said with a smile.

"No!!" Lu Zhiqiao also smiled. The two of them are happy. There was a look of cunning in his eyes.
