Chapter 735: It Doesn't Really Matter (Part I)
In the rolling white waves, many ships shuttle back and forth. Come on,.!
Human lives matter.
Jia Changchao heard one thing, about Wu Yu, Wu Yu was meritorious in Luoyang, transferred back to the capital, read for the emperor, Zhao Zhen and Wu Yu had a heart-to-heart talk, so he commented on the rights and wrongs of some ministers, and Wu Yu said a paragraph. Your Majesty's words are to the point, and it is a blessing from all over the world. However, it is better to know and act in words than to perceive and act. Since the ancients, because of the belief in slander and chaos, the investigation of treachery and danger and the rule, one safety and one danger, no love and hatred. It is not enough to understand this truth, and it is useless to read it even if it is not understood. Even the master of man has those who must not be kept secret, and there are those who cannot be unknown. Language is a military matter or an important authority, and it must be kept secret. If the name of the person is mentioned, there is no obvious evidence of the crime, and it must not be understood. If it is not clear, then the evil will be calculated, the loyalty and righteousness will be difficult to stand, the right and wrong will not be distinguished, and the love and hatred will be carried out. Therefore, it is the behavior of the holy king, such as the heaven and the earth, the sun and the moon, and calmly understands, if one person makes the world know its good, and dethrones one person so that the world knows its evil, then the evil danger cannot be framed, and justice can be established, and the key road of the hundred kings is also.
That is to say, you are the emperor, and you can't arbitrarily evaluate a minister casually, and you must be clear when you are deposed.
Zhao Zhen was happy, but Wu Yu was also a big mouth, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to reuse Wu Yu, he slandered Wu Yu and lent money.
Zheng Lang's implementation of the Seedlings Law and banks was partly aimed at issuing low-interest loans to the poor.
However, after the implementation of the improved Seedlings Law, there were still various drawbacks, which caused Zheng Lang to be disheartened and would rather not let go than encourage the officials below to issue low-cost loans. Zheng Lang is all in this idea, who of the following officials is willing to distribute it to the poor people? It's okay to take it back, but who dares to forcibly collect it if you can't take it back?
Banks are purely profit-making business tools, and they will not be distributed to the people. Therefore, when some people are so poor that they have no way out, they still borrow high loans. So Wu Yu issued some low-interest grain loans and money loans to these people.
The intentions are good, but the official impeached Wu Yu for forcibly lending money to the people for interest.
It's not that the officials of the Song Dynasty are so good that they regard the common people as gods, but as the prime minister, if they also fish the people, Zhao Zhen will definitely not like it. So Wu Yu sentenced Yanzhou.
That incident had nothing to do with Jia Changchao, and faintly Jia Changchao thought that there was Wen Yanbo's shadow in it. At this time, the ministers of the two governments lacked qualifications, and Wang Deyong was a military general with qualifications, so he was treated as air. However, Wu Yu was the prime minister very early, and his qualifications were slightly better than Wen Yanbo's, and once Wu Yu squeezed into the two mansions, Wen Yanbo's status was in great danger.
Jia Changchao knew, it was a smile, everyone was to each other, why laugh at a hundred steps in fifty steps.
However, we have to make a show, and the better this superficial work is done, the more outstanding the political performance will be, and there will be a chance to regain the position.
Therefore, after Jia Changchao heard Zheng Langyan, he made careful arrangements, sent officials to patrol, and instructed the people to flee to various high places in time in case of accidents, so as to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
When the accident occurred, there was a big breach in front, and the villages and villages in the back beat gongs and drums, and quickly organized the people to evacuate, fortunately, there was an accident in the first half of the night, but when the flood suddenly came, some people would be harmed.
Officials below are organizing rescue efforts to get people out of danger as much as possible.
One of his confidants said: "Jia Xianggong, this water came in time." ”
"Nonsense, the summer rain continues, the Daimyo's Mansion is densely populated, and I don't know how many people have been affected by this flood, and because of the dense rain, it is difficult to resettle, and the old man is so worried that his hair is going to turn white."
"Yes, yes, Jia Xianggong is truly loyal to the king and loves the people."
"If you have something, you can't talk nonsense, but you send someone to find out how many people have been killed in Lanzhou. Natural disasters, not only the heavens, but also the people, the sins of these two prime ministers," Jia Changchao sighed bitterly.
Jia Changchao was in pain and happy.
Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi turned gray almost overnight.
The two came to the palace almost at the same time and pleaded guilty to Zhao Zhen and demanded punishment.
Zhao Zhen was not in a good mood, and suddenly thought of Zheng Lang's words, and said weakly: "One thing is one thing, you organized manpower disaster relief in time, the court made a mistake, and the people could not be wronged." ”
"Wow," the two stepped back.
The rain was still pouring outside.
Fortunately, it was April, if there was an accident in May, it would be worse, the heavy rain caused serious waterlogging in all the cities and counties of Kaifeng, and the capital was flooded by more than half.
Heavy rain has caused difficulties in rescue and resettlement.
It is not as harmful as those two breaches, but it involves the people of three states and nine counties, and the number of affected households is almost more than 60,000.
And the people were not convinced.
Not to mention the landlords, the family property was wiped out by a flood, and the people were not happy, and life gradually improved, even the people with less land also got some inspiration from the cotton transfer. Not only cotton, but also sorghum can also be transferred. Therefore, it was very difficult to harvest two crops a year in the past, but it can be easily achieved by moving two seasons a year. Just as we were preparing to harvest the summer wheat, which was the main harvest in the north, the flood came, and there was nothing left.
If it is a natural disaster, you can't blame anyone, but most of it is man-made, some people used to have a good impression of Fubi, but now they finally have no good feelings, and they are full of complaints.
Zhao Xian had just rushed back from Lingnan, passed by the upper embankment of Lanzhou to take a look, saw the tragic situation of the victims, was furious, and wrote to impeach Li Zhongchang, Zhang Huaien and others, saying that their intention was to be anxious for success, and they wanted to be rewarded, regardless of the failure, they must be severely punished and punished with canonical punishment.
It is not reported in the book.
It's useless to get on it, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were prime ministers at some time, why could Li Zhongchang pass, that is, they agreed, how to punish it?
But the two of them are even more worried, Zhao Zuochun is a mischievous, anyone dares to spray, spraying the little princess so much that he forced him to run away from home, he is impeached and has nothing to do, but there is mainly one person who did not make a move.
But a timely rain arrived.
Originally, Zhao Zhen was seriously ill, and several prime ministers were very worried, Wen Yanbo, Liu Xin and Fu Bishu had Wang Yaochen, the four prime ministers of the Eastern Mansion, and asked Zhao Zhen to help Zhao Zongshi as his heir.
Zhao Zhen couldn't speak at that time, he really couldn't speak, he had a stroke, his limbs were numb, but his head gradually sobered up, and he thought about it, forehead. Forehead only. Then Zhao Zhen's body got better day by day, and he didn't want to agree.
The matter dragged on, Gao Taotao and Zhao Zongshi were a little anxious, if they were not in a hurry, Gao Taotao would not look for Zheng Lang, but Zheng Lang did not agree, Gao Taotao was helpless, and he was not disgusted, this is a manifestation of loyalty, the country needs some obedient people, and it needs these loyal ministers even more, so that the country can be stable.
So I found another person.
Wang Yaochen's younger brother Wang Chunchen was an official of the palace, presiding over the affairs of Zhao Zongshi's palace and teaching Zhao Zongshi, Gao Taotao said a few words very implicitly. Wang Chunchen understood, and reported to his brother.
The Liutahe case has little to do with the West Province, mainly the East Province. Fuwen and the others are the most responsible, and Liu Wang and the others can't avoid it.
Wang Yaochen saw an opportunity and told the story in Dongfu, saying how wise Zhao Zongshi was, the emperor was already high, and it was not possible to go on like this.
Several people's eyes lit up at the same time.
This was something that even Zheng Lang didn't expect, and it took a long time to hear some rumors and analyze it.
What to do if this happens, you have to use a bigger thing to divert your attention.
This is the truth that Zhao Zhen's heirs did not have many ministers to mention after his serious illness, and Zhao Zhen's illness gradually recovered, and suddenly countless ministers of the emperor's heirs admonished.
But it was done very carefully, and the previous bigwigs did not come forward, but seriously organized the rescue and disaster relief work. However, some ministers were very excited after they bewitched them.
Van Town.
On the third day of the fifth month, Fan Zhen gave a long recital on the country's need to establish a crown prince.
Although Zhao Zhen can't be in charge, his body is recovering, and he is not the original vegetative person, after seeing the twist, he called Wen Yanbo: "What does Fan Zhen want?" Hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei were displaced by the Liuta River, and they didn't pay attention to the victims at this time, why did they think of caring about the crown prince? I haven't died yet, I want to get the merit of support! ”
The last sentence is very serious.
Fan Zhen really didn't think of this meritorious work, but he was just bewitched by some people, and he was forced to write a book. Not only him, but there are more and more people behind him who were used as guns by Wen Yanbo.
Wen Yanbo sent officials to ask, why didn't he notify Zhongshu of such a big matter?
Fan Zhen said, I only admonished myself with the heart of death, if I oppose it in the notice, wouldn't I drop out?
What does it mean to be sold and pay for the number of people, Fan Zhen is.
Wen Yanbo was very satisfied with this answer, and reported Fan Zhen's original words, and Zhao Zhen was silent.
In fact, what is the death, the crime is ten times heavier than this, and Zhao Zhen did not execute the scholar. But this section finally made Wen Yanbo and others dare not continue.
When Jia Changchao heard this, he scolded: "Idiot." ”
But the court nerds are not Fan Zhen alone, there are still some people, if these nerds attack together, the big thing will go.
Hence the shot.
He sent someone to secretly collude with the eunuch Liu Jie, and asked Liu Hui to secretly tell Zhao Zhen that the Liutahe case had led to the death of thousands of people. This is not slander, although preparations were made in advance, but the flood came quickly, and the flooded area was very densely populated, and it was not like Jiangnan, many families had boats, and some people who were far away from the high ground and close to the breach did not have time to flee and were drowned.
Zheng Lang returned to Beijing in time, Fuwen and the others were not very evil, and they were properly organized, although some people died, compared to tens of thousands of people who were submerged, this number was still very low.
It is only useless to say this, and it is said that the day of digging the soil of the Liuta River is a taboo day, and the place name of the mouth of the Liuta River conflicts with the surname Zhao and the name of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen didn't believe it, and he thought clearly, not only did Wen Fu make a mistake in the Liuta River, but he also made a mistake, he couldn't let the Yellow River flow like this, everyone's intentions were good, but because they didn't understand, they made a big mistake.
But when this happened, the people of the world had to give an explanation, so the eunuch was asked to try the case, and Wu Zhongfu and Deng Shougong were asked to go to Lanzhou to investigate the truth about Kaihe.
After Jia Changchao heard the news, he added another fire, and once again said that the opening of the river in the north would affect the dragon vein, causing the dragon body to be unsafe.
For a while, rumors spread.
Wu Zhongfu went down to carefully verify that all kinds of rumors were wrong, but Li Zhongchang and other officials did make mistakes in the process of digging the Liuta River.
So the edict related officials were all executed, Shi Changyan degraded Huazhou, Li Wei's brother Li Zhang was demoted to Xingzhou Observer, and Yan Du, who hurried back to the capital to make meritorious service again, was demoted to the capital official Wailang, the inner temple undertook Zhang Huaien to manage Tanzhou, and Dali Temple Cheng Li Zhongchang was in charge of Yingzhou Yaqian. The two main persons in charge dealt with it the most ruthlessly, and Li Zhongchang became a small yaqian, or the yaqian of Yingzhou.
After Jia Changchao heard this punishment, he was unconvinced, how could he deal with a few Xiao Luo with such a great opportunity, and continue to fan the flames below.
Zhao Zhen was forced to be helpless, the more at this time, the more the country needed to be stable, otherwise something big would happen if he couldn't point to it, so he issued an edict for himself...... Between the two rivers, the overflow is a disaster, all of them are immoral, and the will of heaven condemns them, which makes the Chinese and foreign real words about the loss of politics at the time, and there is no denying it......
Everyone, don't fight anymore, it's my fault to be wrong, do you want to abolish me?
Originally, Zhao Zhen came forward to dissipate this matter, but the water in the northeast is still flowing, May is coming, the heavy rain is pouring, most of the capital is waterlogged, and the mess that cleans up the Liuta River?
One by one, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo had no choice but to transfer Shi Changyan to Lanzhou again to take charge of the matter and forgive their sins.
Isn't this equivalent to no punishment, and the controversy has arisen again.
Always surrounded by the Liuta River, Fu Bi and Wen Yan Boduo were embarrassed, there was no way, they had to divert their attention.
This time, the two of them were semi-public, and directly found the privy envoy Wang Deyong and talked about the establishment of the crown prince. Wang Deyong was afraid of the scholar like a tiger, and he didn't understand it, so he clapped his palms together and praised him after listening.
It has become a gun to be used again.
It was not enough for Wang De to use six people, so Fuwen and the others found another person, Ouyang Xiu, the grandmaster of the world's articles and the biggest second pole of the Great Song Dynasty.
The three bigwigs came to the door together, Ouyang Xiu had face, and Fan Zhen went crazy, one after another, to establish a reserve, to establish a reserve, Zhao Zhen was silent, about nothing, so how could this matter be missing me? So Ouyang Xiu made a move.
The article he wrote was not an article written by Fan Zhen.
A long story, clusters of flowers.
Why is there such a catastrophe, the emperor has been in the palace for more than 30 years, and the prince and deputy have not been established, and the rite said, one person is good, all countries are right, and the world is not righteous at all, how can there be nothing.
Recently, the rain has been a disaster, but it has never entered the country, the capital is as vast as a lake, and the number of people and animals who have died is unknown. The surviving ones, the houses collapsed, there was no place for them, the rafts were exposed, it rained and the water fell, the old and the young were tired, and the wolves lived in the heavenly streets. I also heard that the graves outside the city were also immersed, and the coffins floated out and the bones flowed. The four directions came to report, or the clouds blocked the city gate, or the clouds broke through the city, or the cloud estuary was thousands of steps wide, or the cloud water head was more than three or four feet high
Why is so, the crown prince was not established, and then nearly a thousand words were written about the benefits of the crown prince.
Suddenly turned to Di Qing.
Di Qing came out of the army on his own, and then took charge of the privy council, and the initial discussion was no longer possible. Although I haven't seen it for three or four years, unfortunately it is pleasing to the sergeants, and the minister is deeply afraid that it will fall into trouble. For the sake of the country, please remove Di Qing from the position of privy council and appoint a state, which can not only protect Di Qing, but also eliminate the troubles for the country.
These are the two major events of the moment, and it is these two events that have led to all kinds of disasters, including the occurrence of His Majesty's illness.
To be honest, Wen Yanbo didn't think of Di Qing at first, he only thought of using the crown prince to transfer.
Seeing Ouyang Xiu's twists and turns, he suddenly had an idea, so he thought of Di Qing's various things.
The first enemy of Di Qing was Han Qi.
In the past, Di Qing was Han Qi's subordinate, and Han Qi didn't take Di Qing seriously, Hao Shuichuan fought miserably, and Di Qing would continue to stay in the rear to release pigeons. Of course, Han Qi was not to Di Qing, he despised all the generals.
Now that Di Qing has suddenly become his boss, Han Qi is very unaccustomed to it, what are you the boss, you still respect me when you see me. Di Qing was helpless, he had received the kindness of several people in his life, Fan Yong, Fan Zhongyan, Zheng Lang, including Pang Ji, all of whom were good to him. Only he did not receive Han Qi's favor, but Han Qi did be his boss, so he reversed, Di Qing, as the prime minister of Xifu, still saluted when he saw Han Qi, and even when he saw Han Qi's sons, they were also on an equal footing, commensurate with their peers, that is, they regarded Han Qi as an adult.
In doing so, Mr. Han Da, you should be satisfied.
Wrong, Han Qi didn't see it at all, and continued to have an arrogant attitude towards Di Qing. After a long time, Di Qing is not convinced, why, I am higher than you in terms of merit, and in terms of political achievements, what have you done, but I have made a new deal in Qingli that has made the world turbulent. said a grumbling word, I have the same official position as Han Qi, but I am one Jinshi short.
To put it very modestly, in fact, where is Han Qi's official position at this time, Han Qi has only served as a privy deputy for a period of time, whether it is the East Mansion or the West Mansion, he has never served as the Prime Minister.
But after this sentence came out, it touched the anger of the entire Shidaifu group.
To the point where Wen Yanbo has arrived, what can be seen in the sky is high and the clouds are faint, but there are still people below who have never climbed to such a height as him, such as Ouyang Xiu.
His decision Di Qing also offended the workers.
Di Qing came to the Privy Council, and as a privy envoy, he was silent, and the civil officials did not take him seriously. But some people are uncomfortable, such as Wang Yaochen, before Wang Yaochen was transferred to Dongfu, he happened to be Di Qing's descendant, and he was bent in his heart, because of the relationship with Zheng Lang, it was not easy to say, staring at the tattoo on Di Qing's face and saying: "Di Xianggong, you are getting more and more glamorous." ”
Di Qing is a mud Buddha and has three fires, and retorted: "If you like it, how about I give you two lines?" ”
Wang Yaochen was furious in his heart, thinking that Di Qing had seriously humiliated him.
There have been several more incidents like this.
The main Di Qing still has a sense of arrogance in his heart, no matter what Zheng Lang instructs, his character has developed, and this arrogance cannot be suppressed.
I want him to be humble like Wang Deyong, if you slap your face, I will stretch out the other side of your face to let you hit it, if you spit, I don't wipe it, but praise how well you spit out, that's it, Wang Deyong can't get it well. But for now, Di Qing will be dealt with.
These things have little to do with Wen Yanbo, but many people feel aggrieved and keep making small reports to him.
Among the hundreds of officials in the court, only he and Fu Bi have higher official positions than Di Qing.
Fu Bi and Zheng Lang have a tacit relationship, although they don't like Di Qing as a privy envoy, they have been silent about Di Qing. I had to complain to Wen Yanbo.
Wen Yanbo was only comforting before, so why take it seriously? Although Di Qing is a privy envoy, he is just a puppet in the court, and he takes himself seriously. Maybe I'll offend the big guy in the south.
However, under the persecution of Jia Changchao, a crown prince still could not transfer the target, and after Ouyang Xiu's reminder, Wen Yanbo finally thought of the second transfer target, once successful, his crisis could be resolved.
In fact, Di Qing knew in his heart that since the accident in the Liuta River, he had been waiting for this day with indignation.
After hearing Ouyang Xiu's impeachment, he really wanted to repair Ouyang Xiu, and he didn't need much, he could solve all the problems with one punch. Of course, this was his private thought, and he didn't dare to beat it, but he was very uneasy in his heart, and wrote a letter to ask Zheng Lang, as a privy envoy, I almost didn't say a word, why the two prime ministers made a mistake in their decision, but said it was my fault. What's the matter with the Privy Council of the Six Towers. And the emperor's illness, what does it have to do with me?
He was wrong, and the side dishes just began.
