Chapter 542: Worried
readx;
Chen Yuan knew that he couldn't get out in the past two days, because Renzong would put all his thoughts on the matter of mourning for Lu Yijian, and in these two days, he would be in a bad mood, and those ministers would put their own affairs aside for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only Ponji will remember himself, and he will.
Chen Yuan's hand tightly grasped the wooden bar of the cell, and his two eyes stared at the opposite wall, he knew that whether he could get Renzong to let him out was the key to the matter, if he was stopped, Pang Ji's words would come to an end.
Lu Yijian has done everything well, and what he has to do after he goes out is to kick the door well, send Su Xiaoyou to the palace, and then wait to pick this ripe fruit, it's as simple as that.
Coming out of the Lu Mansion, Renzong was in a bad mood, and Lu Yijian's letter before he died hurt the place in Renzong's heart that he was most reluctant to touch. He is a family person, and he hopes that his family can live happily together no matter what.
He is very fond of Concubine Pang, in Renzong's opinion, Concubine Pang is a reasonable and virtuous woman, would she do such a thing? That's how he sees it, he doesn't know anything about a woman, because he is the emperor, he never needs to understand women, it's those concubines who do everything possible to please him.
So he didn't believe that Concubine Pang would do such a thing! Did it or didn't do it? No one can say clearly, this is originally an unsolved case, but Lu Yijian said such things before his death, how could Renzong be suspicious?
His heart was very chaotic, he didn't want to go back to the palace, he didn't want to see Concubine Pang Guifei, and he didn't know what kind of attitude to use to treat this woman he had always believed in.
Renzong thought of Su Xiaoyou, and he wanted to go and see this woman.
He has already confessed his identity in front of Su Xiaoyou, he is used to being an emperor, and there are always times when there is a leak, especially when the two of them spend more and more time together. Chen Yuan asked Su Xiaoyou to pretend that he didn't know Renzong's identity, but when he obviously said the kind of words that showed his identity, if Su Xiaoyou pretended to be confused again, it would be too contrived.
After confessing his identity, Su Xiaoyou looked very frightened for a while, and finally accepted this fact as if he was comforted by Renzong. She never asked Renzong to take her into the palace, which made Renzong very moved, and felt that it was a little unfair to this woman now.
When he came to Su Xiaoyou's house, he felt very surprised after entering the door, many things on the main hall were put away, and the two packages were put on the table on the side, as if he was preparing to travel far away.
Su Xiaoyou saw Renzong coming over, and knelt down busily: "Long live you." Renzong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her: "Hey, don't salute, didn't Lian say, don't be restrained in this place." ”
His hand was on Su Xiaoyou's arm, trying to pull her up, who knew that with a little effort, Su Xiaoyou's whole person suddenly frowned and looked painful: "Ah! ”
Renzong Da Liang: "What's wrong?" ”
Su Xiao hurriedly withdrew his arm, lowered his head and took a step back: "No, it's okay." ”
Renzong strode over, reached out and grabbed her arm, rolled up his sleeves and looked, only to see that Su Xiaoyou's arm was tied with a bandage, and the red blood had seeped out, making the bandages red.
"What's going on? Say it! Renzong's facial muscles twitched.
Su Xiaoyou really lowered his head, as if he was panicked and scared: "It's really okay, I, I accidentally injured myself yesterday." ”
Renzong shook his head: "Are you good at deceiving?" How could such a big wound be accidentally made? Tell me what the hell is going on. , Su Xiaoyou suddenly knelt down and sobbed softly: "Your Majesty, it's me who is not good, it's all my own trouble, the people's daughter shouldn't think about being with you, I should leave if I know that you are the emperor, ask the emperor for mercy, let the people's daughter and father leave Bianjing!" ”
Renzong's face turned pale, and his eyes turned to Old Man Nasu:
"Say, what the hell is going on!"
Old man Su also knelt down busily: "Long live, last night a few black-clothed people broke into the mansion, and the servants were all killed, they made us have to leave before we fall today, otherwise we will wait until the evening, and those who die at night will die to us." ”
The corners of Renzong's mouth trembled rapidly, and a fire of forgiveness appeared in his eyes, he felt that he had been violated, not the kind of emperor who was violated, but as a man, he was insulted by others. After a long time, he shook his head slightly: "Don't go, Lian doesn't believe it, Liangui is the king of a country, and he can't even protect a woman!" ”
After speaking, he turned to the guards who came with him and said, "Someone! The forbidden army came to guard, and we want to see who dares to come tonight! ”
Dali Temple.
After Bao Zheng came back, the whole person sat down on the chair, and the strong appearance suddenly took off, falling out of the slightly fragile exhaustion, and his face was full of sorrow: "Hey." ”
Gongsun Ce has followed Bao Zheng for many years, so he naturally knows why Bao Zheng is troubled, and Yan Chasan obviously has not yet obtained the true inheritance of his teacher. He didn't understand what Bao Zheng hesitated, so he stepped forward and said, "Teacher, the student will pour you a cup of tea." ”
Bao Zheng showed a wry smile on his face: "Tea can only relieve physical fatigue, but how can this person's fatigue and the fatigue of the court be relieved by a cup of tea?" ”
Gongsun Ce asked, "My lord, can't you really ease up?" ”
Bao Zheng shook his head slightly: "The situation of life and death can't be solved."
If Chen Shimei does not die, Pang Ji will die. Gongsun Ce smiled: "In the eyes of the students, it is good that Pang Ji is dead, and this court is much quieter." ”
Bao Zheng looked at him: "That's because you only see the current Pang Taishi, and you don't know the previous Pang Ji." ”
When he said this, it obviously aroused the interest of Gongsun Ce and Yan Chasan, and Gongsun Ce said, "My lord, what was Pang Ji like before? ”
Bao Zheng said regretfully: "Upright, honest and honest, with outstanding talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am the minister of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Yan Chasan was very curious when he heard it, he didn't know what Pang Ji was like before, because those local doctors in the Great Song Dynasty never mentioned Pang Ji's past, and the current Pang Ji is a typical villain, a villain, and those scholars are ashamed to be with him. So they buried everything in their hearts about their previous association with Pang Ji.
Yan Chasan said: "Teacher, why did Pang Ji become like this? ”
Bao Zheng said regretfully: "This is also what I'm worried about, the right thing is very tempting, when Pang Ji was ambitious in the past, how honest was he?" But once he sat down as a court master, the power in his hands was hot, some people sent him money, and some people begged him to do things. ”
Gongsun Ce said: "This is not a reason, within the legal theory, take care of what you can take care of." Beyond the law, it can be refused. ”
Bao Zheng nodded: "Then how can Pang Ji not know?" It's just that the emperor trusts him too much and gives him too much power, so he will inevitably offend some people, and those people will think of ways to harm him. Of course, Pang Ji was not willing to sit back like this, until later, when he felt that someone else was threatening him, he took action. That's why it's only to this point today, it's a pity that he uses all his talents to intrigue with others. ”
Yan Chasan understood what Bao Zheng meant: "Is the teacher worried, is Chen Shimei also on the road of Pang Ji?" ”
Bao Zheng nodded: "Look at Pang Ji at the beginning and Chen Shimei now, how similar are the two of them?" At that time, the official also chased after Pang Ji and shouted for him, including Lord Fan Zhongyan, who also had a close personal relationship with Pang Ji. ”
Bao Zheng paused here as he spoke, he was pondering, Pang Ji had become bad and someone could restrain him, and he didn't dare to go too far. But if Chen Shimei becomes like Pang Ji, who of these young people in the court can restrain Chen Shimei in the future?
Ouyang Xiu? Wen Yanbo? Or is it Yan Chasan by his side? None of them work.
Bao Zheng thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Let's go, let's go to the prison to see Chen Shimei and see what he is doing." ”
When Bao Zheng and the others came in, Chen Yuan was writing something, and every time he entered Dali Temple, he was writing something, the first time was to write poems, to earn some fame for himself outside. The second time was to write a recital, in order to let Renzong know that he was still useful to the imperial court.
This time, Chen Yuan was sorting out his thoughts. He felt that there were too many things to do, the New Deal, Western Xinjiang, Dongying and Goryeo, Liao, and his own ideals.
He wrote down everything he thought of on paper, one sentence from east to west, others couldn't understand it, but Chen Yuan knew it.
After Bao Zheng came in, he immediately stopped, clasped his fists and saluted: "Bao Xiangye." ”
Bao Zheng had a smile on his face: "Shimei, what are you writing again?" ”
Chen Yuan looked at the pile in front of him: "It's nothing, it's just a plan for what you should do." Zhanzhao opened the prison door, Bao Zheng walked in, picked up the paper and looked at it, although Chen Yuan's writing was not very clear, but Bao Zheng still saw the clue with his excellent comprehension: "Shimei, this is a redundant official matter, right?" ”
Chen Yuan did not hide it: "Yes, the lower officials think that this redundant official problem is a malignant tumor in our Great Song Dynasty, if it is not harmed, sooner or later it will be a great disaster." ”
Bao Zheng put down the paper: L, but the tumor thing, even if it grows outside the body, this knife may make Da Song bleed more than stop and die faster, has Shimei thought about it? ”
Bao Zheng is obviously talking about the current level of Langzhong in the Great Song Dynasty, if it is placed in the future, as long as it has not developed into a bad surname, it can be easily removed, and some can also be slowly eliminated with conservative methods and drug control.
The tumor of redundant officials is very large, but what Chen Yuan can be sure of is that there is still no development of the Wei Wei surname, and if the medicine is used properly, there is no need to go under the knife.
He smiled and said to Bao Zheng: "Lord Bao, the lower officials dare to ask, how many officials does the Great Song Dynasty want to eliminate now so that there are no redundant officials?" ”
Bao Zheng said: "At least half, more than 20,000 officials. ”
Chen Yuan said: "More than 20,000 officials, all kicked out at once, is simply realistic. The next idea is to first get stuck at the source, redundant officials, but not let him increase it. When the western Xinjiang is pacified, some people can be arranged, the problem of the Liao State is solved, and if we recover the thirteen states, we can also arrange a group of people. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty also had to expand its troops, and 300,000 people were not enough to defend the huge territory, and a group of officials were needed. ”
Bao Zheng's eyes were shelled, and then he realized that Chen Yuan had no intention of moving the redundant official this most difficult knot to unravel. In fact, Chen Yuan still has two more to say, Goryeo and Dongying are defeated, and a group of officials are needed to rule, and as long as they improve the status of businessmen and let businessmen be respected to a certain extent, there are many local doctors who have nothing to do will go to business.
In this way, there will be no 20,000 people, and if diplomatic relations are established with those countries in Nanyang and necessary envoys are dispatched, it will not be enough to have no people.
This is really a good way, but it is very difficult to implement in Bao Zheng's opinion, first of all, it is difficult to solve it in Liaoguo.
Bao Zheng stared at Chen Yuan: "Shimei, the problem of Liaoguo, how long do you estimate it will take to solve it?" ”
Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Ten years, at least ten years." After the Great Song Dynasty pacified the western frontier, it was necessary to recuperate and recuperate, and the army must have enough actual combat experience after it was prepared, and then it could ensure that the Liao was pacified in one fell swoop. ”
Bao Zheng looked at Chen Yuan, he really felt very relieved, Chen Yuan was not as radical as Renzong and those generals, clamoring to immediately send troops to Liao, recover the land that Emperor Taizu did not recover, and rescue hundreds of thousands of Han people living in Liao.
He was more patient than he imagined, because Bao Zheng couldn't let go of it in his heart. If this Chen Shimei is used well, he will really be the brains of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, the premise is that he will still maintain this ideal and loyalty in the future.
Bao Zheng suddenly said: "Shimei, what official position are you going to do in the court when you go out this time?" ”
Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and after being stunned for a while, he didn't realize the sound of Bao Zheng's words, and said with his fists clenched: "Xiangye, after going out this time, the lower officials will ask for their resignation from Banzai." ”
Bao Zheng's face changed slightly, only hesitating The lighting in the cell was not good, and his face was too dark, so others couldn't see it at all: "Resign?" Is Shimei disheartened? ”
