Chapter 460: Xiao Kou is the Curse

"Zhang's mind is crazy," Yuping sighed.

If it weren't for this concubine, Zhao Yuanxi would definitely be the supreme of the Song Dynasty, and at that time, the Zhang family would no longer be a concubine, and at least he would be able to get a concubine, a beauty. Now it's okay, I can't get anything, but I put myself in with my people.

Since ancient times, how many such strange things have happened in the bitter history of the little three and four? However, Song Jiuwei said that the junior in the family is back, the junior has it, and the junior has it, and there are still the big five and six waiting for him to explain, what about the junior and the fourth.

But Yuping and Pan Li'er understood, if according to Song Jiu's thoughts, ask the emperor for permission to go back to report on their work, and then look at the harmony of the Song family's junior, and then look at his son Xiaosan's disobedience, can Zhao Kuangyi be happy?

Pan Li'er said: "The little fish is big. ”

Xiao Yu happily put her arms around Pan Li'er and Yuping's elbows and said, "I'm not big." ”

"You don't say it's big, General Gao wants to wear it."

The prospective daughter-in-law came, in order to make this daughter-in-law happy, Gao Qiong was willing to give whatever she wanted, what precious Hedong fur, what is the best Hexi horse, as long as the small fish wants, Gao Qiong immediately took out a lot of money to do it.

It made Jade feel embarrassed.

But compared with the first two family affairs, Pan Li'er is most satisfied with this family business.

However, this happened, so we had to keep waiting.

Fortunately, it won't be too long, and all kinds of affairs have happened this year, and the east side has not been arranged, so it has to be delayed until next year. After the wind blows next year, Song Jiu will no longer have to stay in Hedong.

Song Jiu ruled Hedong internally, and Zhao Kuangyi also governed the entire country internally.

Of course, history has too ugly his bad side, and this time and space may continue to be ugly. No matter what happened to the axe that night, or what happened to Zhao Defang's brothers. and Zhao Kuangyi's hypocrisy, in this time and space, he doesn't want to leave a good reputation.

However, when it comes to internal governance. Zhao Kuangyi has done a very good job, but in fact, in the past few years, the prime minister of Dongfu has decided not as much as Zhao Kuangyi alone.

After the New Year, Zhao Kuangyi came out of his grief, and he said to Xie Mi, the deputy envoy of the Du Branch: "I cherish the gold silk, and the Song Gong has said a lot to save money and make money, not because I and Song Gong love money, but for the sake of forgiveness and reward." ”

Let Xie Yu go to Chen Jiao to reward the number of sergeants.

In the past few years, disasters have been repeated year after year, and there have been many floods and droughts in Jianghuai, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi. A large number of displaced people were generated, and the imperial court could not help the people to wander, but so many displaced people gathered together, it was inevitable that there would be some illegal acts, and Zhao Kuangyi asked Han Zhu, Pan Shenxiu and other eight people to separate the governors to recruit exiles and make them stable. Xu acted cheaply, and he didn't need to report it, so he did it for me on the spot. If there are officials who are incompetent and harsh and do not appease the people. Report to the Imperial Court immediately.

Wei Yu, the official of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Taiping Prefecture at that time, gradually entered Zhao Kuangyi's field of vision because of his talent, and he wrote to the imperial court to implement the survey and grinding system.

Xie Mi also wrote about the name of the mill. SARS training also.

Therefore, the official court of the Kanjing Dynasty was changed to the court of judges, and the official court of the prefecture and county of the shogunate was the court of examinations.

There is a letter from the boss. The world's examination courses should be based on Hedong as the first.

Zhao Kuangyi saw that Song Jiu worked tirelessly and always fought on the front line. Moved in my heart, I called Song Gong, don't you understand?

Since the Northern Expedition was "defeated", it was not a miserable defeat, the number of soldiers sacrificed was not large, and the front line also won some favorable situations, which could not be compared with the battle of Qigou Pass, then it was easy to recall.

Zhang Guan wrote a book, saying that the people of Yangzhou are short of food, so please exempt the disability tax. Zhao Kuangyi asked in surprise: "Last year, the autumn tax for the poor was exempted, how can there be residual tax?" ”

Last year's harvest was good, the state income increased dramatically, although Hedong spent a lot of money, but originally planned to use the surplus expenditure of the state treasury and the inner treasury, but the actual use was less than Zhao Kuangyi expected, so Zhao Kuangyi dismissed the poor and ordered the people's autumn tax.

Zhang Guan reluctantly told a truth: "The small people are treacherous and slippery, or they are poor in the name of tenants, and they are lucky, but the real poor people are indebted." ”

He said very implicitly, that is, Haoqiang in various places used the relationship in his hands to put the industry under the tenant farmers and poor households, etc., to escape taxes, Zhang Guan did not dare to say Haoqiang, that trouble would be a lot, so he changed his name to Ximin. These powerful people are big tax collectors, they don't pay taxes, and the taxes are greatly reduced, what should the officials do? So I had to continue to collect taxes from the poor people, otherwise the deficit would be too big and it would be difficult to explain to the imperial court.

That is to say, the court is benefiting the poor, and the poor below are not benefited, but they are benefiting all large households.

If it was a mediocre emperor, he would definitely be furious, Zhao Kuangyi just sighed again and again, this question is not so simple! After most of the day, he said: "I have nothing to regret about the reduction of the two taxes, if it is beneficial to the poor, although it is released every year, I do not hate it." In the county seat of Jinzhou, the annexation of the house invaded the poor; Between the acres of land, the cunning officials leak the rent and evade the debt, which is very disadvantageous. An good official is my regulation, so that there is no favor, no poverty, what does it mean to call me? ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent."

"How's it going over there?"

"Song Gongwei is famous, and no small people dare to do anything."

"It's still employing people, why is there only one Jiuqing in the world!"

Zhang Guan swallowed, and said for most of the day: "A famous minister like Song Gong is rare throughout the ages, and it is enough for a non-Ming monarch not to see such a good minister." ”

"In this way, you will write down the edict for me, and all the governors of the provinces will be sentenced within one month, how to settle taxes, recruit exiles, give mercy to the orphans and the poor, suffocate the fortunate and the unfortunate people, and the things that are not convenient for the people, all of them will be written down in one form, and they will be played to the court. If other people and other officials have something to see and hear, don't talk about it, the court will then entrust the middle school to determine whether it is okay or not, if it can be adopted, it should be rewarded, and if it is a matter of obedience, it will be punished. ”

Zhao Kuangyi made people scorched, dyed with variegated colors, and made thousands of flags to show the prime minister: "Someone said to me that the so-called throttling is not as simple as cutting officials and useless soldiers, but the real meaning of throttling is to remove unnecessary waste, tens of thousands of oil clothes, the price is thousands of dollars, although the damage does not meet the original price, it is a pity to destroy all of them, I let people make thousands of flags, at least half of the loss is recovered." This alone is enough to make dozens of families worry about food and clothing. Why? ”

Li Fang slandered himself in his heart, there are so many things in the world, who has the time to manage it so carefully. It's not exhausting people to death, but he can only say: "Your Majesty is beyond ten thousand machines." The wisdom of the saint is lofty, and nothing is too big. Salty out of the table, born with five materials, your majesty under the use of both, things are different, your majesty under the broad and universal, although in the subtle, nothing abandoned, not the ministers can be compared. ”

This sycophant shot well, Zhao Kuangyi laughed. Very self-satisfied.

Zhao Kuangyi personally looked at it, picked those who could use it, and gave it to the prime minister's three privy councils, and said to Li Fang: "Although this is very fine, the wood of the mountains and forests is extremely laborious, and it is only used to burn pots, which is a pity." ”

Li Fang had no choice but to say: "The ancients used bamboo and wood chips to use. It is at this point that only the ministers are ashamed not to do their best. ”

In the face of such an emperor, as the prime minister of Zhongshu, if his talent is a little inferior, it will be very sad. Li Fang at this time......

However, as long as you have the ability, you will be reused immediately.

For example, Lu Zhihan, a member of the Ministry of Outer Lang of the Deputy Envoy of Jingxi Transport, and Xu Zhou, a former disciple of the Academy, wrote together, and the water often flooded. Invade the land of Xuzhou, please open the river from Changge County to divert the water flow. Merge with the Huimin River. After the completion of service, the water will no longer harm the land of Xuzhou. The people cheered, and immediately added Lu Zhihan as a member of the household department, and Wailang as the Shaanxi transit envoy, and Wei Xiaogong moved to Lu Zhihan's original position.

As a result, many famous ministers were selected one after another, which laid the foundation for the rule of Xianping in the future Song Zhenzong.

But there are many disadvantages.

As long as you dare to say and do, if you say it correctly and do it well, you will immediately take office, so many officials have no talent, or if they have a little talent, they will become impetuous.

Yongqiu County Lieutenant Wu Cheng wrote a letter, hoping that Zhao Kuangyi would reduce the harem concubines.

Zhao Kuangyi stayed in the deep palace, he didn't know much about the outside situation, and he really thought that the people said that he had too many palace concubines in the harem, and said to the prime ministers very aggrievedly: "Cheng is alienated from the ministers, and he doesn't know what is going on in the palace, and there are only 300 people in the inner court from the Yellow Gate to the concubines, and there are all those who can't go." You should know the way. I take the world as my heart, regard my wife and concubine as if I have taken off the world, I hate to leave the world, track down Xianmen and Wang Qiao, I will not learn from the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, as a palace annex, take a good family to fill it, and ridicule it for thousands of generations. ”

Li Fang also couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "Your Majesty is a frugal servant, known at home and abroad, and the ministers and other family members were summoned by the queen, and they were prepared to see that the palace was simple, Cheng was cheap, and he spoke wildly at every turn, and it was advisable to depose and punish the vain words." ”

Zhao Kuangyi said: "I said that I don't scold people by words, but I don't know how to blame them." ”

If you don't sin with your words, then decisively amplify the cannon.

Song Jiu left the Privy Council, leaving Wang Xian, Zhang Xun, and Kou Wen in Xifu.

When he actually left Xifu, Song Jiu faintly felt that something was not very good, but in later generations, Kou Zhun was too famous. I guided for a long time, and I believed that there should be nothing wrong, so I didn't think much about it and left the capital.

But here's the problem.

Song Jiu is here, headed by Song Jiu.

Song Jiu is not there, so Wang Xian will be the leader.

In the past, Song Jiu was here, Wang Xianchun was making soy sauce, and there was also a Zhang Qixian to assist, but now that Song Jiu is gone, Zhang Qixian has gone to Dongfu. Could it be that Wang Xian handed over the affairs to Xiao Kou, who was only in his early thirties?

So he took matters seriously.

Originally, he couldn't do it, and after so many years of idle soy sauce, how could he handle affairs well?

If Song Jiu is here, I am the privy deputy envoy, and the boss has not done a good job, so let's assist tactfully, so that everyone is good and I am good.

However, Kou Zhun couldn't.

Song Jiu is here, he is deeply favored by Song Jiu, and he dares to grab the right to do things, and it is Wang Xian.

So he squirted with a big mouth every day, which made Wang Xian very uncomfortable, what's the matter, I'm still your boss.

The two first quarreled in Xifu, and quarreled back and forth to where Zhao Kuangyi was.

Kou Zhun simply picked out and said, you are the prime minister of Xifu, but you have no talent, how can He De sit in this seat for ten years!

Is that true?

It can be said that Wang Xian is incapable, capable, he is a first-class general who leads the troops to fight, but he can't deal with the big politics in the army when he goes to Xifu. It's talent, it's not used in the right place. But does it have a role in Xifu? Yes, Song Jiu is a very good shield for him, because the rights of Xifu have been strengthened by Song Jiu, Wang Xian is a person in Zhao Kuangyi's mansion, and with him, Zhao Kuangyi will always be at ease in Xifu. And Wang Xian also consciously never competed with anyone for credit.

Just like Zhang Hong and Wen Zhongshu, if Song Jiu was given the choice, he would rather Zhang Hong stay than keep a Wen Zhongshu. Their talents are poor, but they save trouble, and it's a big deal to take care of them more. Like Wen Zhongshu devouring his benefactor, can Song Jiu be on guard?

Song Jiu went down, and for the time being, Zhao Kuangyi didn't figure out this joint. The two reasoned that it was Wang Xian's fault. So Zhao Kuangyi blamed Wang Xian, but Wang Xian was not convinced. Why do I let a hairy boy, and my boss lecture every day, so I tried every cunning, Zhao Kuangyi is righteous, Comrade Wang, you go down.

Kou Zhun drove Wang Xian away, and then reviewed, no, there is still someone staying above me.

Zhang Xun.

He is also half of the old man of the Jin Palace. The ability is slightly stronger than Wang Xian, of course, it is definitely not as good as Kou Zhun.

It's okay to stay on top, but you have to have the ability to stay on top.

However, with Xiao Kou's character, after a long time, Song Jiu has no ability to stay above him, unless Song Jiu retreats step by step.

Zhang Xun is not convinced, it's not enough for you to get Wang Xian down with your big mouth, you still want to get me down. So the two of them played something, one facing east and the other facing west, and the most incompatible.

Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but have a headache.

Who do you have to use?

Come to think of it, let's use Xiaokou. If Xiao Kou is used, then Zhang Xun must be dismissed.

Zhang Xun was furious.

But he is not Wang Xian, although Wang Xian is wrong. But it's okay to be a person, and fighting is also fighting for the sake. No intrigues.

On this day, Kou Zhun and Wen Zhongshu rode together. Wen Zhongshu has been standing in the dark during the whole thing, but secretly he joined forces with Xiao Kou, Xifu Zaizhi, Wang Xian, Zhang Xun, Kou Zhun and Wen Zhongshu, only when Wang Zhang and the two go down, he can take the throne.

However, he didn't need to come forward, Xiao Kou's cannon was enough, and he stayed in the shadows while waiting for the benefits.

Zhang Xun also knows.

Kou Wen traveled, and everyone was watching, when suddenly a big man came out and stopped their horse, and the mountain shouted long live.

Kou Wen is a cannon, a talented and unruly cannon, and the other is a scheming and ruthless person with yin and yang weirdness, scheming and wisdom, all of whom are not easy to mess with.

However, this long live life made the two of them stupid.

When they reacted, the big man shouted long live, and he didn't know where he was going.

Maybe something was going to happen, and the two went home with a gloomy face.

The next day, the right Yulin general, Zhang Xun's old friend Wang Bin in Zhao Kuangyi's mansion played, His Majesty, there were people to welcome the horse head and shout long live.

Zhao Kuangyi was annoyed, you did long live, what did I become?

He scolded Kou Zhun, even if you are a madman, you have to say at least one of them to me, are you very comfortable listening to this long live?

Kou Zhun explained: "At that time, the minister was walking with Wen Zhongshu, and this was Zhang Xun asking Wang Bin to play the minister alone and slander the minister. ”

Zhang Xun was annoyed and angry, so the two quarreled more and more, and after the most disagreement, they exchanged private information, and even threw out the prostitutes when they went to the restaurant.

Zhao Kuangyi listened to the more the two of them spoke foul language, the more unorthodox they became, and he was about to go crazy.

Don't make any noise, go down all.

This big mouth went down, and everyone threw their hands to the sky together, thank God, Xie Haotian God, he was almost ready to buy firecrackers and set off to celebrate.

But Zhao Kuangyi is also fun, it is not easy to be a good emperor, you must have a masochistic spirit, and you have to let the minister abuse him for three days in order to find out his flaws. Kou Zhun abused Wang Xian and also abused Zhao Kuangyi, there was a discussion, Zhao Kuangyi did not agree to disperse the dynasty, Kou Zhun stepped forward and dragged Zhao Kuangyi's dragon robe, Zhao Kuangyi dared to go to the front line, although Yelu Hugh was scared and ran away, his strength was not small, so he broke free with a force, Xiao Kou wanted to pull hard, but he really pulled, and the dragon robe was broken all of a sudden.

The hundreds of ministers in the palace looked dumbfounded.

Who knew that Zhao Kuangyi laughed, and was actually used by Xiao Kou in the end, and followed Xiao Kou's advice.

Although Xiao Kou is not as knowledgeable as Wei Zheng, I dare to say that Wei Zheng is the clearest mercury glass mirror, so Xiao Kou is not very clear about the bronze mirror.

After leaving Xiao Kou, the court became very quiet, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly didn't get used to it, so he asked left and right, Kou Zhun is in Qingzhou, are you happy? Who likes Xiao Kou, even Zhang Qixian is a little disliked, although Wen Zhongshu is close, it is not that he likes Xiao Kou, but uses Xiao Kou.

Therefore, the ministers on the left and right said: "If you are a good vassal, you should be happy." ”

After a few days, Zhao Kuangyi saw that no one sprayed him, and he began to be cheap again, so he asked again, and someone said again, Your Majesty has forgotten a lot, but the minister heard that Kou Zhun was drinking wine in Qingzhou, I don't know if he misses His Majesty?

It can't be said to be a lie, although Kou Zhun has a big mouth, he is extravagant by nature, drinking and prostituting, and he is doing everything, which may indeed be the case.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent.

Xiao Kou pitted Wang Xian, Zhang Xun, himself, and Xifu.

Four of them were obsessed, and he got three of them, and the remaining one was super bad.

The candidates for Xifu had to be re-elected, Zhao Kuangyi thought about it, and promoted Liu Changyan, a privy counselor, to the top, but the two newcomers in Xifu made Zhao Kuangyi somewhat uneasy, and recalled the old minister Chai Yuxi back to Xifu.

What ability can Chai Yuxi have, Wen Zhongshu may be capable, but his character is really unreassuring, Liu Changyan may be capable, but he is only in the position, and he must not be responsible.

So the weakest Xifu in recent years appeared.

What's worse is that the wind is about to blow......

What's worse is that Xiao Kou made a fuss, and Zhao Kuangyi also became suspicious of Dongfu Zaizhi...... (To be continued......)
