"Do you still need to guess what the official thinks? You're underestimating him. Xu Yuanzhi said with an unhappy face.

"Uh......, what does Uncle Shi mean?"

"The official family told us old guys to get out of here and make way for the young people. In this way, young people can see hope. With hope, of course they are willing to give their best to the official family. ”

Listening to Xu Yuanzhi's angry tone, Sima Kao asked very carefully, "Uncle Shi......, do you think it's wrong to do this?" ”

If it was normal, Sima Kao could actually not care at all whether his uncle Xu Yuanzhi was angry or not. Both of them are Shangshu, it is useless for Xu Yuanzhi to get angry, and Sima Kao will not ask Xu Yuanzhi for anything. Now Xu Yuanzhi doesn't dare to do this, because his uncle will retire next year.

The so-called unofficial body is light, don't say that Xu Yuanzhi lost his temper now, that is, Xu Yuanzhi pointed at Sima Kao and scolded, and Sima Kao had to bow his head obediently.

"What's wrong? I think it's right! Xu Yuanzhi's voice was full of straightforward anger, "The old guy will get out of the way when the time comes, what faction, what party, what's the use of running for a long time!" Without a leader, scattering is only a matter of minutes. ”

Poof! Sima Kao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Since the advent and popularization of clocks and watches, new words and expressions have emerged in relation to clocks and watches and the units of timekeeping. For example, race against time, such as 'I will XXXX every minute'. Xu Yuanzhi is older, but he unexpectedly keeps up with the times.

Seeing his nephew smiling happily, Xu Yuanzhi said unhappily: "What's so funny!" The captain is so straightforward that I don't even have to guess. What he is going to do, read the financial plan at the beginning of each year, and it will be clear immediately. ”

"According to what Uncle Shi said, if these people in the court make trouble, I don't have to worry about the slightest wavering of the official family."

"If you want to think so, just think so." Xu Yuanzhi's anger did not dissipate because of this.

"Uncle Shi, I'm also in my fifties, and I can't do it for a few years. Now that the imperial court has a system, we can buy houses cheaply. I don't know where Uncle Shi is going to buy a house, so I happened to go with him to have a look. ”

"Don't tell me that!" Xu Yuanzhi said to his nephew very unhappily.

Seeing that Uncle Shi was so unhappy, Sima Kao didn't dare to talk too much nonsense. Even his uncle reacted in this way, which shows that the policy of the official family is bound to be opposed by many people. After getting this conclusion, Sima Kao already has the answer to the question he wants to ask, and at this time, of course, he must retreat with interest.

Seeing the interesting goggles of the teacher and nephew, Xu Yuanzhi felt a little lost in his heart. He is in his sixties, and his physical strength and energy are not as good as before. Hubu Shangshu was in charge of the finances of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and this important task made Xu Yuanzhi already know that he was powerless. He himself had already decided to make a request for Zhishi, hoping to let young talents do the job.

The initiative is a spontaneous action, and the Zhishi system is a system imposed on officials by the imperial court. One is a voluntary action that has been praised countless times for its decency, and the other is a passive obedience that is enforced by the collar. The result is the same, and the difference between the two can be said to be very different. No one wants to be called around.

As soon as he thought about it for a while, he saw his son returning home with his wife in his arms. Listening to the laughter of the two, Xu Yuanzhi didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. Not long after, Mrs. Xu went upstairs and said to Xu Yuanzhi happily: "I thought that the new house was not as good as the current one. I didn't expect it to be the same. ”

"Oh." Xu Yuanzhi replied with mixed feelings. His nephew's words about the house before were ridiculous, and they were also true.

"You say we're going to avoid some people. I don't think you like to meet people. Mrs. Xu sat on the sofa and rubbed her hands gently.

Xu Yuanzhi took his wife's hand and felt that her palm was already very cold. At this time, Xu Yuanzhi felt tenderness in his heart, and he shouted to his son: "Erlang, add some charcoal to the fireplace." ”

"Yes." The son answered downstairs. Not long after, Xu Yuanzhi's second son brought charcoal and added some to the fireplace that had been lit.

At this time, Xu Yuanzhi had been holding his wife's hand in his own hand, and at this time, he also felt that the temperature of his wife's hand had risen a little. Mrs. Xu also felt that her hands were warm, so she smiled and said, "It's just cold when I go out, but it's warm at home, just stay for a while." ”

Recalling the hard work of his wife's decoration, Xu Yuanzhi sighed: "If you buy a house next year, I'm afraid you will have to work hard." ”

Mrs. Xu went to see the new house, and when she heard her husband say this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's okay." This is a public house, after all, it is not a place to live in this life. In many places, I just hastily moved in, just to move in earlier. Having lived here for so long, I also have the idea in my heart that the new house will be renovated. Did you know that there is also a warm air flue? It was repaired early in the morning, and the charcoal was burned downstairs, and the heat went down the flue inside the house. It's warmer than a fireplace. ”

"So what's the difference?" Xu Yuanzhi asked with a smile.

"It's cheap to burn charcoal, but it's expensive to burn charcoal."

Seeing that Mrs. said this, Xu Yuanzhi said softly: "You have also taken a class on family fire." What if carbon monoxide gas is burned? I paid for this charcoal money. But you can't buy your life. ”

When Mrs. Xu heard Xu Yuanzhi say this, she was stunned. It took her a moment to regain her strength, "You...... Taken a concubine outside? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"If it weren't for that, I'd never heard you say anything like that."

"The Commander of Man...... To the officer, his words are also good. Xu Yuanzhi replied.

Although he explained it this way, it was not what he had in mind. Thinking of Zhishi's pain, Xu Yuanzhi was of course very dissatisfied. But Zhishi itself also has benefits, or benefits that the Great Song Dynasty officials have never been able to give before.

In all dynasties, only rich people could live in the capital, for example, the Qin and Han dynasties migrated rich families to Chang'an to fill the local population.

In the Tang Dynasty, when Bai Juyi was not famous, he went to Chang'an, and there was a literary veteran named Gu Jing, who saw Bai Juyi's famous thorn and said to Bai Juyi, who came to visit: "Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place."

This is the name of Bai Juyi (Bai Juyi was not called Bai Juyi at that time, but Bai Yi) was a little humorous about the current situation in the capital at that time. After reading Bai Juyi's poems, that is, the famous "wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows", he couldn't help but admire: "If you have a word, you can live in an easy place." It means that if you can write such a poem, you will not be afraid of Chang'an's rice and expensive, and it will be easy to live and develop in this city.

In the past, the minister chose to leave the capital after Zhishi, mostly because 'the capital is expensive rice, and it is not easy to live in a big place'. The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty still had to rent a house in Lin'an, and the minister had no money. Another reason is that although the capital is a center of power, it also has a large population, poor sanitary conditions, and the mortality rate in ordinary homes is often very high.

It was not until the Zhao family began to build a new Hangzhou that these problems were fundamentally reversed. First of all, the grain price of state-run grain stores should maintain the price of grain in three banknotes and one stone. This is followed by all kinds of fly traps, pest control, vaccination, public toilets, sanitation bureaus, hospitals, and patriotic health month. The third is the elevated canal tap water, so that people no longer have to spend a lot of money to buy water, and they no longer have to fetch water from the river where the toilet bowl is dumped and washed.

Thinking of the living conditions in Hangzhou now, Xu Yuanzhi sighed. Since retired officials can buy houses at internal prices, he feels that such things as the Zhishi system can only be admitted. If it angers the Zhao official family, the Zhao official family dares to masturbate people directly.

If even a person like Xu Yuanzhi who was born as a jinshi is so dissatisfied, the dissatisfaction of other jinshi can be imagined. Li Boyu returned to the Yushitai and immediately found a colleague. The Imperial Historical Observatory is theoretically supervision, but in fact it is more like discipline. Because whether the supervised case can be passed or not requires the efforts of the prime minister. Without the support of the prime minister or at least a Shangshu-level figure, impeachment is easy, but it is difficult to pass.

For example, Dong Songchen, Song Lizong's most trusted chamberlain, went through countless impeachments, and finally got a good death. Emperor Lizong of Song even posthumously awarded the deceased Dong Songchen the title of a festival envoy. But it disgusted the opponents of the time.

Now that the Zhao Guanjia wants to engage in the Zhishi system, these people from the Yushitai are even considering whether to impeach the Zhao Guanjia. After all, Yushitai can theoretically impeach the prime minister, the princess, and the prince. The Zhao family now holds the power of the prime minister and the taiwei in his hands, which is also within the scope of the theory of impeachment.

Come to think of it, these people can't find any legal basis. Therefore, everyone's anger went to the culprit, Li Tingzhi, the governor of Nanchang. Li Boyu said angrily: "Li Tingzhi doesn't know the general situation, and he doesn't know why the official family didn't remove him? ”

The work of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to find all kinds of reasons, and these guys can guess Zhao Jiaren's thoughts, and an imperial envoy said: "Probably because Li Tingzhi has meritorious service in guarding Yangzhou." At that time, Lin'an surrendered, but Yangzhou insisted on not surrendering. If the official family disposes of Li Tingzhi and makes everyone feel that such a hero cannot be exempted, they will be cold-hearted. ”

An imperial envoy added: "I asked someone about Li Tingzhi's recital, but he resisted land reform and resolutely refused to repair the measurement datum. This completely annoyed the official family. If this is the case, I don't know how many officials will lose their positions. The official family has been a captain for so long, and he won't even know this. Jia seems to be a lesson from the past. ”

As soon as he heard about land reform and Jia Rudao, Li Boyu's anger was uncontrollable, and he sneered loudly: "Ha! This Li Tingzhi was attached to Jia Nidao when Jia Nidao was in power, and praised the reform of Gongtian. Why is it that now, he thinks that private land is a good thing! Such a person at both ends of the rat must be impeached! ”

Everyone knows Li Boyu's experience, when Jia Rudao was powerful, he once summoned young officials, and said with a black face: "Do you know that you are all officials ordered by me, and the official positions are all from me." ”

In the face of such a threat, Li Boyu, the second Jinshi in the second year of Duanping, replied loudly: "The second place in the Boyu Hall test, if the level is not promoted, Boyu can also go to this point." "Offended Jia Rudao like this, Li Boyu asked to be released. Jia Rudao arranged for Li Boyu to go to Qingyuan Mansion. Even though the relationship with Jia Yidao was stiff, Li Boyu always supported the reform of public land, and cooperated very happily with Zhao Jiaren, who was engaged in cotton affairs at that time and actually bore the taxes of Qingyuan Mansion and other places.

Others are not qualified to criticize Li Tingzhi, Li Boyu's criticism is sonorous and powerful, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. Then an envoy shouted, "That's it." Where is there a Nanchang Zhizhou that cannot be impeached. ”

Ten days later, Li Tingzhi's desk was filled with a transcript of the imperial envoy's impeachment against him.

What my Great Song impeacher said is actually very routine. In line with the mode of fighting down and fighting first, Li Tingzhi's previous ugliness was brought out in advance to talk about it. For example, colluding with Jia Nidao, such as the ineffective rescue of Xiangyang, for example, when Li Tingzhi was in the Privy Council, his subordinates guarding Yangzhou colluded with the Mongols to become Song traitors.

This completely negated the content of Li Tingzhi's past experience, first bowed to it, and then chased the wind and used the topic to play. For example, Li Tingzhi's previous campaign for the reform of public land was to gain office, and his opposition to the state ownership of land was called Li Tingzhi's acceptance of bribes from Jiangxi landlords. After doing this, the conclusion was that Li Tingzhi was a traitor, a traitor with two swords.

Li Tingzhi is 60 years old and has experienced many major events, as well as life and death tests. Before this incident came out, he may not have had some enlightenment in his heart. That's it, seeing the impeachment movement, Li Tingzhi was still angry.

If it is only according to what Yushitai said, Li Tingzhi is a big traitor and a big evil, and he must be immediately imprisoned and punished by the righteous and shameless criminals. Such an evaluation is completely different from Li Tingzhi's self-evaluation. Li Tingzhi first scolded at the sky of the courtyard, scolding and panting, before he had to stop.

Perhaps such a drastic way had a stronger relieving effect, and after sitting for a while, Li Tingzhi calmed down. Li Tingzhi was trying to delay the land reform, and if it dragged on for a few more months, he would end his term of office and return to Hangzhou. At that time, whether Jiangxi was a land reform or not had nothing to do with Li Tingzhi at all. Despite this purpose, Li Tingzhi also knew that he did not want to see Zhao Guan's family from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, they were all ministers in the same hall, but now Zhao Jiaren flew on the branches and became a phoenix, and he changed from an official to an official. Li Tingzhi really couldn't accept this kind of identity change, and even the land reform policy against Zhao Guan's family rebounded. But Li Tingzhi didn't expect Yu Shitai's reaction to be so fierce, and he also felt that he was quite aggrieved.

After thinking about it, Li Tingzhi made up her mind. The big deal is Zhishi. If according to the latest Zhishi system, no matter how good Li Tingzhi is in Jiangxi, he still has to hand over power after returning to Lin'an. Rather than that, he decided to fight with the scum of the Imperial Tower.

Back in the study, Li Tingzhi wrote a letter with a few strokes, directly criticizing the imperial envoys of the Imperial Observatory for abusing their powers. Everyone is from a Jinshi, and who doesn't know some of the black materials. Let Li Zhizhou write an article at the level of Yushitai, that is to put pen to paper, and there is no need to work hard at all.

Jiangxi is upstream, and the speed of going down the river is very fast. It only took five days for Li Tingzhi's recital to be placed on Zhao Jiaren's desk. After reading this piece of mutual attack from within the enemy, Zhao Guanjia felt that happiness came too suddenly.
