Chapter 26: Paving the Way to Prime Minister (II)
"Shen Qi is dead?"
When the news came, Huang Shang's face showed just the right amount of surprise.
Murong Fu was itching, but he knew that he must not tell the truth to the upright son, so he could only reply: "Well, I heard that it was people in the rivers and lakes who made money and killed him." ”
Huang Shang shook his head and didn't comment much.
In history, there are differences in official positions, and the main culprit is to underestimate the enemy and not measure himself, so as to provoke the border.
To put it bluntly, it is a great achievement, self-righteousness, and taking the initiative to provoke the enemy, but not being fully prepared for battle.
As a result, Jiaozhi took the opportunity to invade on a large scale, burning, killing and looting, and poisoning Guangxi.
Therefore, Shen Qi was punished, "The crime is serious, never used, the world praises, and thinks it is the most deserved."
It seems to be very serious, but hundreds of thousands of people in Guangxi who died as a result, although Shen Qi can't be blamed for the crime, but it's just a demotion to the official?
Hehe!
The punishment of scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty was really light to the extreme, and the punishment was not as good as that of doctors, no matter how big the mistakes were made, as long as it did not involve rebellion, it would be very serious to cut off the official position, and you could go back to your hometown to be a rich man in a chic manner, even if it was a capital crime, most of them could be changed from light to exile, and there was no cane punishment and stabbing words.
In view of this, the normal officialdom methods cannot shake Shen Qi, and it is easy to have an accident, but Murong Fu's insidious thing is that he kills people with a knife.
And the knife he borrowed also has a very important identity, so important that some people are jealous.
It's just that Murong Fu is still young after all, not as cunning as Murong Bo, and he underestimates the methods of people in officialdom too much.
In the palace, Yang Xing uncovered the white cloth and shook his hand.
Under the white cloth, it was Shen Qi's distorted face that was not blinding, where did Yang Xing dare to look more, he immediately covered it and began to ask about it.
He analyzed: "This is the method of Jianghuzi, before his death, the envoy was tortured and interrogated, suspected of seeking money, the goal is clear, as long as you find out what the other party is here for, the real murderer will be revealed." ”
Because Shen Qi was severely tortured before he died, and the inventory in his home was rummaged through, it was easy to make a judgment.
People in the rivers and lakes have always liked to rob the rich and help the poor, breaking the law, but they rarely provoke the government head-on, not to mention that Shen Qi is a member of the road, he died at home so inexplicably, he must be investigated to the end, severely punish the murderer, and never spare it.
Yang Xing also thought so, but when he came out of the suspicious points one by one, and began to analyze the most suspicious rivers and lakes, his brows suddenly trembled: "Wait, you just said that there are rumors in the market, what is the Hundred Flowers and Ten Thousand Souls Cream?" ”
After explaining in detail the effect of the Hundred Flowers and Ten Thousand Souls Ointment, Yang Xing's face immediately changed, and he asked anxiously: "Have you mentioned these investigations to others?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was not good, and immediately said: "There is no one, and Chen Tuiguan doesn't know." ”
The cooner is the coroner, and the pusher is the official who tries the case, because the murder of Shen Qi is very important, Yang Xing came in person, and he has indeed not gone through the process.
Yang Xing nodded: "This matter is very important, don't spread it." ”
He understood: "Yes! ”
Yang Xing turned around, Shen Qi's body was carried down, and his face became extremely ugly.
The day before yesterday, Shen got up and complained to him, saying that the prince of Dali had heard the rumors out of nowhere, and he asked him for the elixir, but he didn't listen to the explanation, which was unreasonable.
And now, Shen Qi died violently at home, although this is not 100% certain, but Duan Yanqing's suspicion is too great.
The prince was disabled, and he became extremely extreme, plus Zhao Shu was about the national letter submitted by Dali, Yang Xing and Shen Qi already knew that this chess piece was useless.
I didn't expect to waste chess to the end, and actually bite them back.
"An immature white-eyed wolf!"
Yang Xing was so angry that he smoked.
He was not sad about Shen Qi's death, but angry that Shen Qi was killed by Duan Yanqing, didn't he cheapen Huang Shang for nothing?
As soon as Shen Qi dies, with Huang Shang's previous exploits, he will naturally become a transfer envoy and be on an equal footing with him!
At that time, what will he use to suppress this red man in the eyes of the emperor and the benefactor in the eyes of the forbidden army?
"Xianggong! Duan Yanqing, the prince of Dali, is missing! ”
At this moment, another cronie came to report.
Yang Xing became more and more sure in his heart that this matter must have been done by Duan Yanqing, but he rolled his eyes and asked instead: "Huang Yun's envoy's mansion, are there some people in the rivers and lakes?" ”
The cronies were stunned for a moment before they reacted and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”
Yang Xing sighed: "Check it!" ”
Faith comprehended, and withdrew.
……
A few days later, when the conspiracy theory that Huang Shang ordered his family to kill Shen Qi in order to ascend to the throne spread all over the streets, Murong Fu knelt in front of Huang Shang and burst into tears.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, Fu'er, you don't have to be afraid, let alone pay attention to those gossip!"
Huang Shang's gentle smile was like a ray of spring light falling down.
"But...... But ......"
Murong Fu felt even more guilty, choked up, and couldn't speak.
He didn't understand why things were the way they were.
Duan Yanqing killed Shen Qi on impulse, and he also regretted it greatly, and at the same time he was disheartened and decided to die in the world.
He took the opportunity to arrange for the four generals to send Duan Yanqing away, Duan Yanqing was still grateful to him, plus the rumors spread before, everything should be done seamlessly!
It's a pity that he doesn't understand a truth......
If you want to add sin, why should you do it?
Not to mention Murong Fu, even Huang Shang underestimated the shamelessness of these old fritters in officialdom.
If he was replaced by another official, he might really be in a quagmire, but Huang Shang sat firmly in Diaoyutai and waited for the day when the rumors would be self-defeating.
Because in his perception, there were two teams of people coming towards Quang Nam West Road.
The first team was the envoy of the Tibetan Zampu, led by the Great Wheel Ming King Gu Mozhi.
The second team is dozens of tribal leaders, secretly controlled by Qu Yun, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
"Tea and horse trading? I have to report such a major matter to the court, and I can't make the decision! ”
"You guys! You guys! ”
For the Tibetan envoys, Yang Xing was official, but for the second wave of tribal alliances, he was completely dumbfounded.
Because of the patriarchs who were dressed strangely and had strange names, they took out tokens and national letters.
Accepting the era name and calendar issued by the Central Plains Dynasty was a sign of the submission of the vassals, and now Luo Dian and Ziqi are not accepting, they are countries that have completely given up their autonomy and asked to integrate into the Great Song Dynasty.
In fact, it was those people who lived there and ruled the tribe, but from now on, the land they were on was the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Yang Xing looked at the real national book, it was like in a dream, there was still this?
But when he asked why, the two lords jointly held a Zhuge pen, which made him spin around and sit down.
Dewen Quxing is educated, and the territory of 500 miles is dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty!
……
……
"Quell the chaos in Dali, and reform the barbarians!"
"Luo Dian has 37 departments from the two countries, and the ghost lord has discussed cutting the country name and merging it into the Great Song Dynasty!"
"It's a frontier! Expand your territory! ”
"Tubo Zanpu for good horses, take Dali Luodian Ziqi Road, transport it into Guangnan West Road, and become the second tea and horse trading place in my Great Song Dynasty!"
Han Qi looked at the letter on Guangnan West Road again and again, not letting go of every word.
Han Zhongyan, who was at the bottom, turned pale, but he still tried his best to say: "Father, it's not like we have no way to curb Huang Shang, the profits of the tea and horse trading are too great, and it is one of the lifeblood of my Great Song Dynasty, how many people in the court are staring, how can it be ......?"
Syllable!
Before Han Zhongyan finished speaking, suddenly a strong wind blew on his face, and Han Qi had a big ear scraper, which almost whipped him up.
"Containment? You still won't admit it? Unless Huang Sheng died of a violent illness at a young age, it is destined to become the prime minister before the age of forty! ”
"He has experienced a wide range of things, once the tea and horse market is stabilized, he will hold the lifeblood of my Great Song Dynasty, which is far from being comparable to ordinary prime ministers!"
Han Qi roared angrily, the wrinkles on his face became clear, and he said with hatred: "You still want to provoke him again?" How dare you provoke him again? ”
Han Zhongyan covered his mouth, lowered his head, and tears burst out of his eyes.
Han Qi no longer paid attention to this son, and muttered to himself: "I want to ask Your Majesty to resign, now take the initiative, I can still leave the old feelings, if I am dismissed, then my Xiangzhou Han family, it will really be over!" ”
Han Qi knew that he had fallen out of favor.
Zhao Shu, the son of heaven, was angry about the assassination, and after the prisoner was transferred by the Criminal Department, the yellow mud fell on the crotch of his pants, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
It's just that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and his position is unstable, so he didn't do anything with him, and now that he is on the throne, there will definitely be a day when the knife will be opened.
He was thinking about it, when his cronies suddenly reported that the official family recruited Zeng Gongliang into the palace.
Han Qi was stunned, Zeng Gongliang was the same prime minister as him, but he was the prime minister, but all matters in the court should go through him first, and then through Zeng Gongliang, how could it be reversed......
"Not good! Your Majesty wants to quit the prime minister! ”
Han Qi was up and down in the sea, how keen, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he took a step slower.
This step is close to the end of the world, and it is useless to resign at this time.
Because of the normal process, he went to the table to resign from the phase, the resignation was rejected by the Son of Heaven, and then went up, and then dismissed, and then rejected, just like this, the resignation went back and forth between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Chongzheng Hall three times, and finally the Son of Heaven agreed "reluctantly", and then went through the process.
But now, it's too late.
In the middle of the whirlwind, Han Qi's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Han Zhongyan next to him couldn't cover his mouth, and finally cried out loud.
The crying grew louder and louder, and it went on and on, and on and on.
