Han Qi himself doesn't care about whether Wang Bian resigns, but according to his opinion of Wang Bian, he is very strange, how did this kid who knows Qian get Renzong's favor, now that Prime Minister Bao Cheng is gone, Wang Anshi is no longer an official, it seems that this kid has no backer, and he can't let Zeng Gongliang become the king's backer, "This thing doesn't work, if the saint lets the king do things now, I'm afraid this kid will have to put forward conditions again, and now if he is meritorious, the saint will do the work of checking the land in order to make an example, I'm afraid it will be half the effort." ”

"Oh, how can the king talk to the saint about the conditions, besides, I heard that the people are short of coal for the winter this year, if the people make trouble, I'm afraid it won't end well, the saint still focuses on the common people, although the king is rich, but he has also done a lot of good things, cold and warm is a big thing, the saint can think twice."

Since the birth of this king, the more he has been suppressed, the more refined he has become, and the original ones who helped him speak and befriended him were nothing more than some new officials, jinshi, and later some festival envoys, county orders and the like; Renzong likes him, but the privy envoy and the prime minister sheltered him and began to make waves, and now the two prime ministers are also quarreling because of the king, and it is rumored that this guy has a good relationship with the king of Xixia, Yingzong has a headache about how to deal with the king, "Don't quarrel, if he wants to do business, he will do business, and there is no need to mention the matter of Jinxiang Mansion." ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the two prime ministers quieted down, Han Qi thought that he couldn't make an enemy with Zeng Gongliang for the sake of a king, so he said in a relaxed tone: "Shengshang, the first emperor had an edict back then, giving the king a hundred hectares of land, rather than waiting for him to come to ask for land, it is better for the emperor to fold the Jinxiang Mansion to him, firstly, it seems that the emperor is generous, and secondly, if he runs or can improve the current shortage of coal supply in Jinxiang Mansion, I think this Jinxiang Mansion also has his hard work, and it is not an exaggeration for the court to reward him for his meritorious service, as for what Zeng Xiang said, it is not unreasonable." ”

Zeng Gongliang is also an old officialdom, seeing that Han Qi gave in, he also let him take half a step, and it is not easy to do anything if the prime ministers do not agree, and the top priority at the moment is to press the new emperor not to make any more moths because of the matter of Pu Yi, so he also said: "Exactly, it is still Han Xiang who is sympathetic to the people, and can help the saint to solve his worries." ”

The two of them talked to themselves and sang and harmonized, and Yingzong secretly scolded in his heart: The two old things are so tacit, and the officials want to do whatever they want to be led by these two people and can't be independent, but if the two say this, if Yingzong doesn't give in, it seems that the emperor of his country has no measure, "Okay, since the two prime ministers said so, then the two of them will look at it, and if they want to return to the imperial gift, then I won't pursue the matter of Jinxiang Mansion, you can step down." ”

The two prime ministers led the decree out of the vertical arch hall and walked towards the Shangshu Mansion together, Zeng Gongliang said: "Thank you Han Xiang for agreeing with the old man just now. ”

Han Qi was shy with a big belly, shaking his fat body, holding the ribbon in his hand and dangling and said: "At our age, there is no need to be an enemy of the next generation, and you don't see that this kid next to the king has a good relationship with King Ying, you said that the emperor's holy body is not good, I guess the prince will be established soon, if King Ying is established in the future, I am afraid that our old bones will have to watch that kid act." ”

Zeng Gongliang echoed and said: "Han Xiang is very far away, I didn't think about this, I just think that this kid can make the Great Song Dynasty famous in various countries, and he must have something extraordinary." ”

"Hey, by the way, Zeng Xiang, why don't I know about the loss of the volume of "Wujing General Essentials" when you said it." Han Qi asked suspiciously,

"Hey, how can I lose it, I haven't written it at all, and those two articles only have a table of contents." Zeng Gongliang said,

Han Qi was taken aback when he heard this: "Zeng Xiang, you are guilty of bullying the king." ”

Zeng Gongliang pointed at Han Qi and laughed: "Han Xiang, how can you be confused, you want to send a unicorn to Jiaozhi back then, because there is a death in my Great Song Dynasty, looking for my Great Song Dynasty bad luck, at that time Emperor Renzong was still there, the first emperor wanted to send someone to sweep the south by losing the scroll, but the king persuaded Nong to follow the wind after the south has been peaceful, this time the king sent an envoy to Goryeo, the southern naval army force helped the king to attack the Japanese slaves, the naval force is good, Emperor Yingzong wants to take this opportunity to check the situation in the south, whether there is collusion with Jiaozhi, let the king go, Wang is far away from the capital, and his reputation can also deter Jiaozhi, and even more appease Nong Jifeng, which is not a happy thing. ”

Han Qi laughed: "Haha, no wonder Emperor Renzong personally ordered Zeng Xiang to compile the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which trick Zeng Xiang can use." ”

"This is to resolve the enemy and employ people, follow the way of heaven and earth, carefully choose the law of the general, although the king is young, it is indeed a rare talent, the way to choose the general, but the use of the talent, Guan Zhong shoots the hook, Qi Wei is the hegemon; Meng Ming was defeated three times, and Qin Miao was pardoned and won; Sui Tho pulls out in the cold, and Wu Qi is used for detention and travel; ……”

The two prime ministers nagged and returned to Shangshu Mansion, leaving Song Yingzong stunned in the vertical arch hall, there was no way to take the king when he was not the emperor, how could he be the emperor and still have no way to take the king.

At dusk, Meyer's Mansion was lively, and the people who went out to do errands came back, and everyone found that today's Wang's side was more cheerful than yesterday, and at dinner, Wang's side explained some things, and in the dead of night, a few people quietly came out of Mayer's Mansion, and wrote a line of words with honey on a wall facing the street in Kaifeng Mansion.

At dawn the next day, something strange happened in the capital, someone said along the street that there were a lot of ants on the wall of Kaifeng Mansion, and there were words on it, this matter spread all over the streets and alleys for a while, many people trotted to see, and sure enough, the wall of Kaifeng Mansion was written, "The traitor secretly hid coal, trying to make high profits, the capital burned coal urgently, and Weizhou was solved outside the door." ”

If this is replaced by an ordinary government office, there would have been a messenger to clean up, but Kaifeng Mansion has always had the prestige of Prime Minister Bao when he was located, which is related to the people's livelihood, which government officer dares to clean up privately, Kaifeng Mansion guards hurriedly went to tell Kaifeng Mansion Governor Li Shen, Li Shen personally watched it as expected,

This matter is very important, Li Shen ordered the officials to go to Weizhou Gate to investigate, the officials came back to report, there is indeed a coal yard outside the Weizhou Gate, and there are many people outside the coal yard who heard the news and rushed to find out, seeing the coal piled up inside, the people were excited, shouting to grab coal, Li Shen hurriedly ordered people to go to the coal yard to temporarily seal the coal yard, and sent people to investigate who the coal yard was,

After a busy morning, the owner of the coal yard was Qin Minzhi, the head of the household department, this is the red man in front of the current saint, Li Shenzheng pondered that this matter was a bit troublesome, and the guard sent a note, which read: "The people are like ants, the household department should be impeached, the three divisions will be cleaned, and the new official fire will be held accountable." ”

Li Shen is also a smart person, the new official took office with three fires, this new official refers to the three envoys Cai Xiang, it seems that this note is to let himself go to find Cai Xiang, Li Shen took the note to visit Cai Xiang in person,

Cai Xiang heard Li Shen's intentions, and immediately sent someone to the Internal Affairs Office to check whether the coal used by the royal family had arrived this winter, which had to be ruled out first that this was the imperial city's coal supply, and found out that the palace had already been prepared, so this coal was undoubtedly hoarded privately, and now we all know that it is difficult to buy coal in the capital, no matter how common people even officials of all sizes have no use for coal, Cai Xiang is also very angry when he hears that someone has hidden so much coal,

"I'll go to the emperor and ask the emperor to take a look." Cai Xiang said and picked up the pen to write the recital, Li Shen hurriedly stopped him and said: "Jun Mo and slowly, I have found out that this temporary coal yard in Weizhou City is made by Qin Shilang of the household department, but this coal is the coal of Jinxiang Mansion, so go to the emperor, in case Qin Shilang says that this coal is for seizure, not only can he not be caught, but after a few days of delay, I see that the people of Kaifeng Mansion can not stand it, in case of a heavy snow one day, maybe a few people will have to freeze to death." ”

"Then according to the opinion of Qingchen, what should be done." Cai Xiang asked

Li Shen will not be as anxious as when he first received this, he has been thinking about it for a long time, this matter is not so simple: "I see that the person who wrote the note and made an ant typesetting on the wall of Kaifeng Mansion, since he can trace the household Qin Shilang, it is definitely not done by ordinary people, the reason why he provoked public resentment is probably to hope that Kaifeng Mansion will do things for the people, I ask Jun Mo to review it as a third division, if it is illegal private hoarding, it can be ordered to sell it first, and then check the evidence, if it is indeed just for reselling for profit, you can know that the crime is light, However, if it involves corruption and perversion of the law, it will be impeached again. ”

Cai Xiang listened, but also felt reasonable, he also felt that this ant typesetting thing is a bit interesting, who is this, actually did the same thing as his own bee typesetting, the two came to Kaifeng Mansion, saw the three layers inside and the three layers outside the three layers surrounded by the people, the people scolded while watching: "These corrupt officials are really hateful, using their power to play favoritism and fraud, regardless of the people's well-being, should be killed, should be killed." ”

Cai Xiang and Li Shen looked at each other, Li Shen smiled helplessly, and Cai Xiang's heart lit up: "Governor Li, I heard that Wang Shilang has returned to Beijing this morning. ”

Li Shen sighed: "It must have been this kid who did it, why didn't I think of it." The two looked at each other and smiled, if others did it, they should ponder and ponder, if it was really done by the king, then there was nothing to think about, the people's voice was so high, what are you waiting for, Li Shen ordered: "Come here, go and invite the owner of the coal yard outside the gate of Weizhou Gate to Kaifeng Mansion for me." ”

It's polite to say a word of invitation, Qin Minzhi definitely didn't expect that his new boss was also waiting for him in Kaifeng Mansion.

Qin Minzhi came to Kaifeng Mansion, and when he saw that the matter of hoarding coal and wanting to sell it at a high price was revealed, he thought that he would pass today's pass first, and then find a way in the future, so he hurriedly quibbled: "That coal is to be sold, but it's not too late." ”

Cai Xiang almost threw the accounts that had been transferred on Qin Minzhi's face: "You are so bold, this batch of coal keeps saying that it will be sold, and the household department has not seized the amount of coal for official purposes, obviously you seized and hoarded coal privately, and you dare to quibble?"

Qin Minzhi immediately lost his words, he understood in black and white, how much coal was seized, where to send it, the origin of the coal in the coal yard outside Weizhou City was really unknown, so he had to bow his head and confess, Qin Minzhi pleaded guilty and secretly withheld coal for profit, and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture immediately asked Cai Xiang, the third secretary, to allow the coal yard outside Weizhou City to sell coal to the people,

Now the common people are happy, carrying the picks and carrying the flat burden, and the wealthy families are driving the donkeys to the coal yard to line up to buy coal, and the capital is boiling.
