Officials spend a lot of money to buy an official, just to get an official addiction? There is no investment that does not seek returns, and investing in officialdom is ten times more profitable, and it is a big profiteering industry. In the Song Dynasty, when the bureaucratic structure was tight and mature, and the civil bureaucracy was powerful, on the one hand, the officials maintained a traditional scholarly style, and on the other hand, the inefficiency and incompetence of the system design led to widespread corruption among the civil bureaucracy

But when Prince Yan comes, he will cut off their financial route, who is willing to kill? These two people are not big, but their energy is very big, and breaking ground on their heads is equivalent to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, but Prince Yan doesn't care if there is a sword mountain or a sea of fire in front of him, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will simply bring down these two people. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and the other officials were naturally scared to death.

So everyone began to look forward to Prince Yan leaving the capital again and returning to Hedong soon, but soon everyone was disappointed, several bigwigs in the court ignored Prince Yan's absence from work for nearly half a year, and the emperor summoned him to the palace to tell stories without anything to do, and often brought him to attend without a banquet. Everyone is even more panicked, this Prince Yan obviously doesn't want to leave, and he doesn't even want to be an official, so he wants to stay in Beijing and fight everyone to the end!

Of course, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and it can be impeached to deal with Prince Yan, it can be bought for assassination, and it can also create a car accident scene. But Prince Yan is being favored by the emperor, and even Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and other rulers can't do anything about him, it's useless to say bad things, the emperor can't listen to it, and if he doesn't get it right, he has to be scolded. In this extremely serious situation. Use the method of eradicating it. It was definitely the next step, so the officials got together and held a seminar ....

"Life is seventy years old, except for the young, and the old after the old. When there is not much time in between, there are frosts and troubles. The moon is singing before the flower, and it is urgent to pour down a handful of gold bottles. The world can't make enough money, and the officials in the court can't do it. The official big money turned worried, and his own head was white. Spring, summer, autumn and winter twist the fingers, and the bell sends the evening chicken to announce the dawn. Please pay attention to the people in front of you, and bury the grass once a year. How many graves are high and low in the grass, and no one sweeps them for half of the year. ”

"Brother Qian. This poem was written by Prince Yan when he was in the garden with the emperor in Yanfu Palace? ”

"Brother Li, it was made by Prince Yan, I didn't expect him to be quite talented, do you understand the meaning of this?"

"Brother Hu. Are you still a two-list tanhua? This poem clearly describes the shortness of life, and exhorts the world to look down on the impermanence of the world and the frustration of life, live a good life in the present, and don't worry about things outside the body! ”

"Well, Brother Zhang said, this poem is indeed so, life is short, but even in the short time in this life, the world still suffers from all kinds of troubles and all kinds of troubles in the world, so that the short life can not be happy. But before he was freed from his sorrows and troubles, his prime life had passed quietly. ”

"Okay, what Brother Hu said is very true, seven or eight out of ten people in the world are unsatisfactory, just as there is a lot of money to be made in the world, but everyone will probably have endless money even if they exhaust their lives, and there are countless officials in the court, but most of them have nothing to do with themselves. If you take a step back, even if you have high-ranking officials and thousands of family wealth, it will not bring you the joy of honoring your ancestors and being wealthy. On the contrary, it will also make you fall into the worry that your official position is difficult to protect and your money is gone, so that worrying and frowning every day will only make you a young man! ”

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter twist your fingers, and the bell sends the evening chicken to announce the dawn. It shows the helplessness that time is fleeting and time is difficult to return. The four seasons change with a flick of a finger, and life is also passing in an instant! Please pay attention to the people in front of you, - bury the grass once a year. How many graves are high and low in the grass, and no one sweeps them once a year. It is even more contemplative, looking at the world, it is true that as he said, around us, people leave every year, leaving only endless mourning, but the world is such helpless, whether you want it or not, sooner or later you will die. Over the years, in the passage of time, how many people have been cut off from their descendants in the changes of time, and there are no descendants who have swept their tombs. When you think about it, life is just an empty dream! ”…,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not here for you to have a poetry meeting today!"

"Brother Zhang, we just want to find out the flaws in it, from the poem, it can be seen that Prince Yan just wants to be a scattered person, and he is not keen on power, are we worrying too much?"

"You have been in this officialdom for many years, how can you still have such a confused idea, what he says he doesn't want is often what he wants the most!"

"Brother Zhang, you are too naïve, Prince Yan is vulgar and rude, and he is prone to fists and feet, but I heard that his newly married princess can write poetry at the age of seven, this poetry is lofty, it must be from his hands, he is just misappropriating!"

"Then why is he like that?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Prince Yan is the most favored, and in the emperor's opinion, the ministers of martial arts, but if they surround themselves all day long, work hard before and after the saddle, then they must want to do something! The most normal thing is to have a name for profit, either to hang a portrait on the Longtu Pavilion, or to seal the wife and son, this is the normal feeling of people, and it can be used with confidence. If you don't even want officials and money, then what exactly do you want, isn't it too suspicious and even too scary? And Prince Yan must also know the thoughts of the Emperor of Lu Dao, so he came up with such a poem to cover it and show the emperor that he ignores power and wealth! ”

"No, Xia Guan heard that King Yan is extremely fond of money, and now he has more than a dozen workshops alone, shops and warehouses all over the capital and various state capitals, and caravans travel all over the surrounding countries, he doesn't love money, how can this be!"

"Yes, his personality seems to be impatient, rude, and scheming, but in fact, he is shrewd, vigilant, cunning, thoughtful, familiar with the rules in the open and in the dark, and even a good hand in controlling the situation, he can successfully gain the trust of the saints, and achieve his own goals, cleverly hiding his own goals, so Liang Chengzhi and Wang Xiang and others will fall into passivity in everything, but they will be controlled by it!"

"But now even Wang Xiang and Li Xiang can't do anything about him, so we have no choice but to get him!"

"Wang Xiang and the others have different minds from us, they are afraid that they will leave the capital, so they will get out of their control, once it becomes the climate, they will fight with them, and imprison them in the capital, Prince Yan can not turn the sky again, they are so slow!"

"Yes, Wang Xiang, they can't cure King Yan, and King Yan has no way to take them for the time being, but he has nothing to do with us to make trouble, you all have more or less dirty things, if he stays in Beijing for a day, we will not be at ease, maybe one day he will be targeted by him!"

"Brother Hu, you have a lot of ideas, can you think of a way?" Everyone understands in their hearts that now a few bigwigs and the two of them are thinking, but they are not afraid of Prince Yan with big roots, but their little shrimp can't withstand a little wind and waves, so they can only make other plans...

The rivers and lakes are sinister, the officialdom is also sinister, you fix me, I fix you, the officials are deeply involved, and the day is not safe. Mo said that it is the norm for officials to protect each other, and it is also the norm for officials to kill each other, and now everyone is forced by Prince Yan to 'unite', contribute money, contribute strength, and work together to run for political enemies, and remove the 'black sheep' planted in them.

After thinking about it, I finally had a new idea: We can't get rid of your officials, can't we still get promoted to your officials? Everyone agreed that since they couldn't bring down Prince Yan, they could only find a way to invite this god away, let him go back and forth, and don't harm everyone, so everyone united and offered a reward: "If there is anyone who can make Prince Yan leave the capital, a reward of one million." Under the heavy reward, everyone started their activities, and they all went to "say good things to God", saying that Prince Yan is good and good, everything is good, such a person does not need to be really unreasonable, and strongly persuades the emperor to break the routine and make an exception to reuse the virtuous king of the clan!

At this time, the Jin people sent Hao Lu and others to Bianjing, asking the Song Dynasty to fulfill the contract and attack Liao together. However, Jin only said in the national letter to the Song that the previous time Zhao Liangsi came, there was an appointment in advance, such as Song and Jin attacked Liao together, and the town of Luzhou in Yanjing was returned to the Song. As for the Xijing area, Song was asked to try to collect it himself, and if it was difficult for Song to capture it, he could inform Jin, but did not give a clear answer to Song's request for Xijing. Last year, Zhao Liangsi envoy Liao, although he tried to expand the jurisdiction of Yanjing in the negotiations, and demanded that Xijing and Pingzhou and Yingzhou be included, that is, to restore all Han lands south of the Great Wall, but were categorically rejected by the Jin people on the grounds that they were not under the jurisdiction of Yanjing. Jin Ren had a tough attitude, saying that if Song Fang's requirements were too high, he would only terminate the contract. …,

After the opening of the Yellow River, the Xia army reorganized and prepared for war, and the Song Dynasty did not reply to the matter of Xia He's marriage, and there was contempt, and wanted to raise troops to invade Lingzhou again; In addition, some local officials arbitrarily levied the people's husbands and tributes from the Tibetan Ministry, causing rebellion, which led to turmoil in the northwest, and the low combat effectiveness of the Wheel Forbidden Army made it difficult to control the situation and asked the imperial court for reinforcements.

Everyone felt that this was an excellent opportunity for Lu to speak, so they sang praises to Prince Yan, saying that his ability was outstanding, brave and good at fighting, using soldiers like gods, and incorruptible, outstanding political achievements, only two years in Hedong, he would govern the country and the people there, and the four Yi surrendered. Now to stabilize the situation in the northwest and take on the heavy task of seizing Xijing of the Liao State, only Prince Yan can do it, and they have recommended him to preach the northwest again, to make meritorious contributions, and to make immortal meritorious deeds.

However, Prince Yan did not seem to appreciate it, saying that he was sick and hid at home and refused to go to work, and news came from the palace, and he cried to the queen many times that he did not want to return to the northwest. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, if he didn't want to leave, how could we return to the good old days, so in the lift, even the servant Shi Lu Dexian, who was almost beaten to 'hell' by Zhao Ta, was also virtuous and did not avoid revenge, and took the lead in writing a book, asking the emperor to put state affairs first...
