Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Leader of the Federation
Lu Yu didn't expect the king to sneer at him so much, his face turned pale with anger, his lips trembled, he pointed to the king and "you, you, you" for a long time, and couldn't say a word. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Bei didn't intend to show him mercy, he continued: "Your family has been an official in the court for generations, how much court money have you eaten for nothing? Fortunately, your grandfather, Prime Minister Lu Duan, can still pass down an allusion that 'the prime minister can support the boat in his belly', and you have the deputy envoy of the three divisions of salt and iron, and the Tianzhang Pavilion is to be systematized, and the four positions of the Imperial History Zhongcheng are worshipped, how many Yulu take it in a year, and what have you done for the court? ”
Zhao Ji couldn't help but pat the throne and praise loudly: "Well said! Well said! ”。
Lu Zhi didn't expect that the emperor would stand on the king's side so clearly in public. This will make him more than angry, he said in his mouth: "Holy Mingjian! "The face is full of grievances. And Lu Gongzhu, who was beside him, quietly avoided Lu Xu's side, for fear that the king would point the finger at him again after a while.
Usually, most of the people in the Imperial Historical Observatory impeach others, but today it is really rare to be said so speechlessly. Even Zhao Ji felt that Lu Zhi deserved it, who told them to always stop their thoughts. The most surprising thing for Zhao Ji was that if Wang Bian hadn't calculated this account for him, he would have to give these mediocre officials how much silver taels of unjust money this year.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Zhao Ji not knowing, he is in the royal family, of course he doesn't know the situation outside. Even if he went south twice, there were guards, retinues, and people to protect and take care of him, so naturally he didn't have to worry about everything. What's more, no one will run to the emperor and tell the emperor that the saint has given us too much.
Of course, when Wang Pan came back, he was somewhat angry, and now the treasury of the imperial court is empty, and he has to worry about the problem of military expenses and food when he leads troops to fight, and even if it were not for these problems, Wang Pan has now entered Western Xia. With this factor, can he not hope that the treasury will be filled quickly? Even if these are the rewards they want, it is not their turn to talk nonsense.
Wang put away the uninhibited and disdainful expression just now, and said with a straight face: "Holy Lord, the physique of officials in the DPRK and China should have been changed a long time ago, the scientific examination system should be reformed, and the official position should be reserved for people who can do things!" "Reforming the scientific examination system is an important part of Wang Anshi Xining's reforms. After all, he was also grassroots before the Song Dynasty, so whether it was public or private, he hoped for change.
At this moment, the hall was already quiet, and the people who were still accusing the king just now all bowed their heads or avoided the king's gaze under the king's gaze.
Zhao Ji saw that these people were silent, coughed lightly, and signaled that what the king said was almost done, and if he continued to talk about it, I am afraid that the court will start to remove some people from their official positions today. There are some things, for Zhao Ji, who has just ascended the throne, it is better to take his time and think about it in the long run.
Wang Bi also saw Zhao Ji's intentions, and he smiled slightly before he said: "I haven't finished my words just now, and the silver taels I asked for are not for me alone. Instead, it is to be used as a fund, and the establishment of this fund is also for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang asked, "What is the fund that King Zhennan said?" ”
Wang replied: "When I accompanied the saint to Dali in the south, I once negotiated with the Duan clan of Dali to hold a meeting of various states in Yongzhou, and now the prince of Tubo has come to our dynasty and expressed his interest in this meeting. This Mid-Autumn Festival meeting between the states will discuss the issue of trade between the states. Therefore, I took the lead in making a joint state organization, and I named him the Federation. And this federation is to regulate the trade behavior of the various states, and use the Song currency as the only currency that can be circulated in each state. At the same time, I want to use a sum of money as a federal monetary fund. ”
Most of the people above the court couldn't understand what the king said, but they all looked at Zhao Ji nodding from time to time, for fear that the emperor would blame him for his shallow knowledge, so he nodded yes in agreement.
Zeng Gongliang listened carefully, frowning as he listened, but he looked around the court, most of them nodded, and if he wanted to say that he didn't understand, it would inevitably seem that this prime minister was too lonely and unheard, so he asked tentatively: "King Zhennan, you have talked so much and I don't know what good this is for my Great Song?" ”
Wang Pan wanted to say: If you master this organization, it is equivalent to mastering the rules of the international monetary system, and you can even say that you can directly introduce the operating currency. But it occurred to him that it would be too far to say that it would require explaining the monetary system and grasping the importance of the economy to the country's development. Before he could explain, suddenly Sima Guang stood up and said to Zhao Ji: "Holy Lord, what the King of Zhennan said is not very clear to the ministers, please make it clear to the Holy Lord!" ”
Whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he has a problem for Wang Bian, and what Wang Bian said is indeed too complicated for the Song people. In case Zhao Ji doesn't understand, then he can say it openly, and the things that the saints don't understand should wait for the saints to understand. What's more, if Zhao Ji doesn't understand, wouldn't this emperor be quite faceless.
Wang Fang thought to himself, it doesn't matter if Zhao Ji doesn't understand, at most, he will hold it and discuss it again, and then say that he has nothing to do and retreat from the court, and then he will give him a make-up lesson when he goes back. He waited for Zhao Ji to say something, but Zhao Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Good! Well, do you still need to ask? Then what did the king of Zhennan say? Hosted by our Da Song, naturally my Da Song is the leader of the United Gang! How good it is to be a helper, and all the gangs worship. You don't understand this, it's really unheard. When I become the leader of the Federation, I can assimilate the states, do you understand? ”
The officials of the imperial court all looked at Zhao Ji in surprise, and Sima Guang stared and shook his head. Wang couldn't help but snicker, looking at Zhao Ji's expression, he held a dog-beating stick in his hand, knowing that this was a form of the United Nations, and if he didn't know, he thought he was going to run for the leader of the beggar gang. Of course, it is more troublesome for the United Nations to explain, after all, the Song people never talk about foreign countries when they talk about foreign countries.
Zhao Ji was very proud in his heart, but he had the opportunity to kill these pedantic officials, he pointed and said: "Alas, you have so many money, you don't know the Federation, you don't know about assimilation, and you are still talking to the officials here about this and that!" Let me tell you to remember, assimilation is to let those Tubo, Western Xia, Dali and other gentlemen learn Song Chinese, wear Song clothes, use our Great Song coins, and learn the etiquette of our Han people. One day, their state will be able to break itself, and then the world will be the world of our Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Ji said impassionedly waving his hand, with a look of infinite longing.
Next to the king, he wondered if he should hurry up and stop Zhao Ji's topic, his speech would definitely be endless. He hurriedly took the lead and said, "That's right! The Emperor Shengming! Under his leadership, hundreds of civil and military officials bowed down and saluted and shouted in unison: "The emperor is sage!" ”
Zhao Ji saw that everyone was impressed by his remarks, since he ascended the throne, although he accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, but there has never been a time like today, which made him feel that everyone's admiration was so sincere.
He proudly announced with his back hand: "The reward given by the official family to the king of Zhennan is in accordance with the requirements of the king, and the official family is too busy, so the official family will make the king next to the federation the acting helper, and reward another hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver as a gift." "Wang Fang also thinks Zhao Ji is funny for the first time, this matter has just begun, and the emperor really got a helper for himself. He couldn't help but laugh and thanked him seriously.
Zhao Ji may not know that among these ministers in front of him, there are those who sincerely admire and support, such as Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and the supporters next to Wang. Zhao Ji's words simply went to their hearts; There are also those who are worried about the black yarn on their heads, as well as the rich money every year, and they have to echo it. For example, Lu Gong, Lu Yu and others; There are even some people who don't say it, but they have already made up their minds that it is better to return to their hometowns earlier, such as Han Qi and Sima Guang. They were eager for the meeting to end early, so that they could go back and write their resignations as soon as possible.
At this time, the court meeting was not over, and then Zhao Xuan Tubo prince Ali Gu went to the palace, not only according to the king's requirements to give Tubo gold and silver, and added Ali Gu as the post of Taifu, Ali Gu was full of gratitude to the Great Song Dynasty and to the king, a strong thanks. Seeing that Tubo was so obedient to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji was even more proud in his heart, as if he had assimilated Tubo now.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king came to the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Ji saw that the king was very affectionate, and finally could get rid of the shackles of the court, Zhao Ji asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, what kind of federation do you say, but is it true?" ”
"Of course! Didn't the Holy Emperor say it very well?! ”
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "You don't know, these people are about to annoy me all day long. When asked how to govern the country, he told me to cultivate one's self-cultivation. Every day is a chore, don't you know? Even the case of the murder of a civilian woman could not be handled well, and they had to quarrel around the court, and the officials who quarreled were too big. ”
The little eunuch Yang Jian served tea to the king. Wang Bi said with a smile while drinking tea: "It's no wonder that the laws of the Great Song Dynasty always have to be amended?" It's better to be noisy than to be idle. ”
Zhao Ji shook his head: "Alas, I think my emperor is not as good as you, the prince, what's the big deal!" You don't know, those stubborn old men can fight for a few days on a topic, and the officials are too lazy to go to court. ”
The king thought to himself, what are you? At least it's still dealing with state affairs, and the bloody books I read, the emperor in it is like the chairman of the Women's Federation every day, and it's only left to solve the harem disputes. It is estimated that if you put it out, you may not be free to go to court. He smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult for the sake of the saint, you, bear with it for a while." ”
"Forbearance? Not really! Originally, he planned to let Ling Zun and Sima Junshi deal with the case together, but now it is even more troublesome. Forget it, don't talk about this, in addition to getting that federation when Brother Wang came back this time, did he also bring some good advice to the official family?! ”
Wang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "There are suggestions, I don't know what the saint wants?" As long as there are no other cultivation skills, I won't."
Zhao Ji laughed even more when he heard this, of course he knew who the king was satirizing. The tacit understanding between Zhao Ji and Wang can be compared with others.
