Chapter 415: Never Die
In the middle of March of the first year of Yangshuo, the imperial court broke a heavy news, the Son of Heaven had an edict, Guangluxun Zhang Fang, because of "Jianzhao old things, private peeping into the palace", deposed Guangluxun from the post of Guangluxun, and served as the county guard of Dunhuang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info still retains the title of marquis and chamberlain.
As one of the youngest Lieqing, Zhang Fang has always been favored by the internal and external dynasties: he was born noble, a relative of the emperor, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and he has the ability to turn sideways to the Lieqing at a young age...... After a few years, it will be appropriate to enter and exit. The only thing that can affect this outcome is that he has always been at odds with the Wang family, and he is not liked by the Queen Mother, which makes the young Xunqing's future confusing.
Sure enough, when his career reached the pinnacle of what he could reach at his age, the blow finally came.
What is the "old thing of Jianzhao"? At that time, it was still the reign of the first emperor, what kind of mess did Zhang Fang cause? Why did you turn over the old accounts at this time? Also, the four words "private peeping palace" also give people a lot of room for reverie. And the edict is vague about all this, and it is not explicitly stated - this is also normal, how can the matter of the palace be shown to the public? However, looking at the intensity of this punishment, it was really not small, and he was demoted from Guangluxun with 2,000 stones to 2,000 stones. And most importantly, to be expelled from the center...... It seems that the problem is quite serious.
Fuping Zhang was unlucky, this was the first reaction of the courtiers; This is how the courtiers ended up offending the Wang family, which was the second reaction of the courtiers. Such a young and promising rookie in the imperial court can't even shelter the Son of Heaven (or don't want to shelter anymore?). Once again, the courtiers were given a taste of the power of the Wang family. In the days when the candidates for Guanglu Xun had not yet been decided, whenever the general put forward various proposals, the courtiers looked at the vacant position of Guanglu Xun, and they were all silent, and there was no voice of opposition in the court.
And the deposed Marquis of Fuping, like all officials who suffered from this situation, from the moment he received the edict, he put on a list of thanks, and immediately closed the door to thank the guests. Except for Prime Minister Wang Shang and Wuku who allowed Du Qin's two groups of visitors to enter his door, the rest were all refused, even the elders of the Zhang family.
In addition to sighing, the courtiers couldn't help but secretly shake their heads: The young man has ambitions, his career is too smooth, his mentality is inevitably unstable, and he really can't stand the setbacks. Fuping Zhang, I'm afraid it's going downhill.
A few are happy and a few are sad. Zhang Fang was deflated, and Wang's side was happy.
In Changle Palace, the queen mother and the general rarely drank wine.
Wang Zhengjun swallowed a cup and laughed harshly: "Big brother, didn't you see the arrogance of that Zhang child that day, not only threatened me in person, but also wanted to attack Liulang Zhongzi and kill his heir, but also released wild words, measuring that I couldn't drive him to the border wilderness." Hehehehe, how is it now? I really want to see what the expression on Zhang's child's face looked like when he received the edict...... Hahahaha! ”
Wang Feng sighed: "If Liulang is still alive, seeing this situation, he must be drunk." ”
Wang Zhengjun smiled, and his phoenix eyes were frosty: "Big brother, Liulang's revenge can't be avenged!" ”
Wang Feng didn't speak, just nodded heavily, raised his neck and drank it all.
Wang Zhengjun just thought about revenge for his brother, while Wang Feng thought more. Zhang Fang and Wang Shang are the two benchmark figures in the opposition camp, and once they are defeated, they must be trampled to death. The so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him has no possibility of forgiveness. Otherwise, with this person's age, talent, and family background, who dares to guarantee that he will not recover in the future? Zhang Fang is both a political enemy and an enemy, and one of the two is enough for him to fight with all his might, and if he has both, it is an endless situation.
Wang Feng said categorically: "As soon as Zhang Fang leaves Chang'an, don't think about coming back in this life!" ”
Wang Zhengjun suddenly came to his senses: "Big brother, will the plan be released?" ”
"You need to borrow the power of the Queen Mother."
"What do you want me to do? Big brother, but please speak up. As long as Zhang's child can be told to die outside, it doesn't hurt even if he turns his face with the emperor. ”
Wang Feng's eyes were cold, he threw the cup on the ground suddenly, and spit out two words: "Edict!" ”
……
"Childe, this is the last list." Han Zhong handed over an account book to Zhang Fang.
On the desk, left and right, there are piles of various account books, stacked high, and some are scattered to the ground. Zhang Fang, who was surrounded by account books, was not as depressed and depressed as the outside world had guessed, but was full of energy - and after a sleepless night.
Zhang Fang took the last account book and glanced at Han Chong, who was full of fatigue: "Mi Lang, you also stayed up all night, go and rest." ”
Han Chong shook his head: "Childe also stayed up all night, didn't he rest?" And Biao Xie and Yu Xi also have their own tasks, and they can't be guarded, and I can't leave my post without permission. ”
Zhang Fang did not persuade again, lowered his head and continued to review the account books.
In the impression of outsiders, the Marquis of Fuping has accumulated for several generations, has a huge family fortune, and was once the richest man in Chang'an. To be called the richest man in a place like Chang'an, where powerful and wealthy people gather, you can imagine the astonishing wealth of his wealth. However, if they could see the list of books, they would be shocked.
Fupinghou's assets, to be precise, in Chang'an, have reached the brink of bankruptcy.
No matter what kind of richest man he contracted the immigrants who belonged to the state to himself, in six or seven years, he successively emigrated nearly 50,000 people, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and resettled a total of nearly 80,000 immigrants.
Although the imperial court also has subsidies, the subsidies are limited after all, and most of them are compensated in the form of opening salt and iron, and these compensation has been converted into military equipment in Star Picking City. How much does an army of thousands (on the face of it be 300) spend on equipment and maintenance? Just think about it.
All the shops, workshops, restaurants, etc. in Chang'an have basically been mortgaged out by various means, and the number of mortgages covers a wide range, accounting for almost half of the imperial court. At the end of the year, if he can't repay the loan, ninety percent of his property in Chang'an will change owners. At present, the only ones that are still in full control are porcelain and tea. And it is the huge profits of these two items that barely support the daily operation of the Hou Mansion of Ruoda.
In other words, Zhang Fang, the Marquis of Fuping, is an empty shell in Chang'an. His assets, wealth, population, and technology were all transferred to the extraterritorial Star Picking City. This process of resource transfer lasted for six or seven years, most of which was consumed through immigration, and a small part was in the form of trade, sending caravans composed of Hou's servants to the west of Yangguan, and in the end most of them went without returning or went more and less back.
The whole process of transfer was above board, and the imperial court gave it even more support, even the Wang family, which regarded it as a thorn in their side and tried to find faults, did not see anything wrong -- even if they broke their heads, they could not imagine that the dignified ministers of the court, the ministers of the generations, had already planned to abandon the prosperity of Chang'an and move to the bitter cold land of the West Pole - only a madman would think like this, do this!
Yes, people in this era, even if they are crazy, will not do this. But Zhang Fang is different, he comes from later generations, and he does not have the concept of "under the whole world, it is not the king's land". He will not be arrogant to think that the Central Plains is the middle of the world, and he has the world in mind, not only the world.
Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, it is time to get rid of all shackles and create a world of your own!
