Chapter 681: Banquet for Dou Gong
Chu Chu's mood at this time was also very helpless, because she almost suspected that Hua Xiaoji was indeed planning to bring disaster to the country and the people.
"If we obstruct the conquest of the autumn food, and still do it in a disorderly manner, you know that even you, those who obstruct the autumn grain will be executed as traitors." Such a method, but even a powerful traitor like Yuan Ji did not dare to throw it alone because he was desperate, but Hua Xiaoji was able to make suggestions as a matter of course, Chu Chu really had some doubts that her wise and wise lord was probably sick and rushed to the hospital this time, and he tried his best to find a pig teammate.
"But we are blocking the autumn endowment, for the sake of social stability, the emperor is benevolent, will he only deal with it indiscriminately according to the law?" Hua Xiaoji was quite contemptuous of Chu Chu's woman's opinion: "Although Chu Niang is trusted by Zheng Gong, in the end, she is only responsible for the central liaison and execution, and she does not know the government affairs of the court, let alone familiar with the scriptures and history, and does not know the reason for urgent follow-up, and at this time, it is obviously too late to report to the capital to wait for Zheng Gong's decision." ”
Chu Chu was underestimated, and he was not even annoyed: "Now that there is no war in the country, Mr. Hua thinks that it doesn't matter if the taxes are paid and not paid in time, but Mr. Hua might as well imagine that if the emperor is pardoned according to the incident, in the future, if the frontier is restless and the foreign enemy provokes war, the domestic meticulous work will dare to encourage the people to violently resist the law and refuse to levy the levy again, and then there will be the worry of losing the country!" We can only wait until the autumn grain is successfully delivered to the capital before launching a protest! In the final analysis, what we are preventing is that the king of Zhou, who is selfish and wants power, is hoodwinked and set up as the prince, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything harmful to the country and the monarch, which has always been the insistence of the lord, so this matter, the lord has already made a decision, and Mr. Hua's construction cannot be tried. ”
Jiao Xing sneered when she heard this: In order to persuade Hua Xiaoji, this Chu Chu was so anxious that she actually showed her tone, almost saying that her lord had been planning a conspiracy early in the morning, but Hua Xiaoji should have ignored it again, and she didn't suspect that how many "plaintiff witnesses" were arranged by the lord, using him, a fool, as a pawn in the vanguard, to launch a trick to slander King Zhou.
The king of Zhou and the king of Linzi were both defeated, and someone must enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
But a Hua Xiaoji is obviously not enough to have this great ability, so that the emperor believes that King Zhou really committed the crime of perverting the law and indulging in private interests in Jiangnan.
"Then what is Zheng Gong's arrangement?" Hua Xiaoji was really not suspicious.
"Ying Tianfu Yin Dou Gong, is indeed a loyal minister and a good man, nothing more than for the king of Zhou, Zhao Ji do not deceive Fang for his Sasuke, at that time Mr. Hua gathered many people who were forced to be exploited by corrupt eunuchs and traitors, and beat the drum in Ying Tianfu to sue many lawless, Dou Gong has been investigated, and will definitely not shield Zhou Wang Ming as a picket lawless, in fact, he is widely formed with party members, and connived at the bad behavior of the party and the people, Dou Gong is an important member of Beijing, and the impeachment policy can go directly to Tianting, and this case will definitely be known by the emperor."
Jiao Xing suddenly realized.
Hua Xiaoji is just a pioneer, and Yin Douzhang of Ying Tianfu is the killer of the other party!
Dou Zhang's official reputation is very good, in the south of the country, it was originally widely trusted by the people, not to mention that the king of Zhou this time supervised the south of the Yangtze River, Dou Zhang has been acting in accordance with the matter, first Hua Xiaoji reported, and then Dou Zhang launched impeachment, I am afraid that the emperor will believe that the king of Zhou really committed many crimes, even if this time to the south, the king of Zhou cleared a lot of corrupt officials and chaos, and let the court decree be smoothly implemented, according to the amount of autumn grain sent to Beijing, but as long as it is verified that there are still corruption and bribery in the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and even indiscriminate apportionment, etc., the king of Zhou
If you have worked hard, it will be in vain, but it will not be a disaster of death and prison, but it is like returning to the starting point, losing all your advantages, and there is no hope of being made a prince!
Even Jiao Xing thought of it, for example, Lou Zang must not have the evil deeds of bullying people, but the impeachment launched by the enemy party against the king of Zhou is not necessarily slanderous, Dou Zhang because he is very deeply hidden, and he is appointed as the Yin of Tianfu, and once won the trust of the king of Zhou, it is not difficult for Dou Zhang to detect the negligence of the king of Zhou, and even Dou Zhang is operating in the middle, resulting in the king of Zhou and others not aware of the illegal behavior of some state and county magistrates.
It often only takes a few cases to be proven to be "proven" for all crimes to be "proven".
Just like the "poor man" who lied that he only had ten acres of mulberry but was apportioned and re-allocated, he naturally became one of the victims, even though under the rule of Jiangnan, the vast majority of households did not actually bear the grain that should not be paid, but since the case was confirmed, they would all be worried, thinking that if they did not completely cut off the hidden dangers, such a doom would happen to them sooner or later.
Public resentment and public opinion are sometimes so easy to cause.
The people of the four provinces south of the Yangtze River are angry, where is the king of Zhou, who is in charge of supervision, qualified to inherit the unification?
It must not have the power of a wise man.
If King Zhou didn't notice it, he tried his best, but he ended up in failure, and he was inexplicably picked by others.
——
On the fifth day of February in the twelfth year of Hongfu, when the last ship full of autumn fu also set off from the port of Nanjing City, Zhang Gong, the head of the household, finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged his fist at Dou Zhang: "In the past few months, although Jiangnan has been demoted by many officials, how many officials have been panicked, fortunately, Zhang lived up to the trust of Xu Ge Lao, in the end to assist His Royal Highness to conquer Qi Qiufu, smoothly transported to the capital, and the states and counties, so he checked and verified the registration of the acre, and the chaos for many years was finally rectified. It also lives up to the monarchy's trust. ”
Zhang Gong is really a neutral faction, and does not want to participate in the reserve dispute, what he wants is to step down from the post of Nanjing household secretary, after returning to his hometown, after a few years of leisure days with his grandson, although he failed to worship the cabinet as a minister, he has not made a mistake in his career for decades, and it can be regarded as laying the foundation for the future of his children and grandchildren, as for where the children and grandchildren can go in the future, it depends on their own luck.
When Xu Jin, the head of the dynasty, was once Zhang Gong's direct official, so Zhang Gong and Dou Zhang had a lot of friendship because of Xu Jin, but this time he assisted King Zhou to supervise the Jiangnan decree, but it was not just because of personal friendship, but also because of the responsibility of his position.
Dou Zhang turned slightly to look at Zhang Gong, his expression was a little solemn: "The emperor has the ambition to revive the prosperous world, this time the rectification of officialdom is just the first step, the future is really hard, and in the future, there will be no loyal ministers like Zhang Gong to serve the rule of the prosperous world, and Zhang Gong can not think of hanging the crown." ”
"How much talent Zhang has, he really knows himself, and in the future temple, he will have to rely on these rising stars to lead the way, and Zhang's old bones are tossed and moved." Zhang Gong shook his head and chuckled.
Dou Zhang didn't say much.
Don't be really talented, but it's a pity that the judgment is always not as good as Zhao Taishi's old and spicy, especially too indulgent in the feelings of the inside, and the trade choice is faint and supplemented, and his youth and vigor can't listen to the rules and persuasions at all, although he can indeed be called a rising star, it is a pity that he is not able to lead the temple at all.
he
With this in mind, the more I look forward to the next sudden incident.
Lan Ting set aside a table of wine on this day, and invited Dou Zhang to go to the Jun Pavilion to drink and talk.
Chen Shi was naturally ecstatic and disheartened, but Chu Chu was a little worried, worried that even Dou Zhang had already revealed his flaws, but she was not easy to try, so she only arranged a private room, but she used the arrow to eavesdrop/listen in the burrow.
Lan Ting is like suddenly not realizing that the wall has ears.
even took the initiative to explain why he invited Dou Zhang to come to Fengjun Pavilion: "This trip to Jiangnan, thanks to Dou Gong's help, so that many government decrees can be implemented smoothly, and he should have been thanked for the wine, and now he finally has free time. ”
Chu Chu listened for a while, and was really reminiscing, as if Zhao Ji had expected that King Zhou had won, and they would definitely not stay in Jiangnan for a long time.
When the wine passed three rounds, Lan Ting said: "His Royal Highness attaches great importance to Dou Gong, and thinks that with Dou Gong's ability, Ying Tianfu Yin is really condescending, and His Royal Highness intends to recommend Dou Gong to the cabinet to pay respects." ”
This is the tone of the king of Zhou to probe Dou Zhang, and Dou Zhang completely worships the king of Zhou as the main king.
Dou Zhang felt a little anxious inexplicably, and smiled perfunctorily: "The old and pedantic capital, I really don't dare to reach the cabinet, just for the affairs of the monarchy, I don't dare not be loyal wholeheartedly, Your Highness is so praised, the old man is really ashamed." ”
"Dou Gong is too humble." Lan Ting smiled slightly, drank several glasses of spirits in a row, and looked a little sad.
"Don't you feel sorrow?" Dou Zhang took the initiative to ask.
"Don't hide it from Duke Dou, although the matter of Jiangnan supervision went smoothly, but because the court was careless for a while, it caused an accident to my grandfather and uncle, and now I know who is the culprit of evil, but I can't avenge the blood hatred for my relatives, and I feel really ashamed and hateful in my heart, and it is easy to complete the important task of the autumn grain expedition, and I drank a few more glasses of wine today, which will inevitably cause trouble."
"What? Don't you already know the murderer? ”
"Yes." President Lan sighed: "It is closely related to the case of Zhang Kuang, and there is no doubt who the culprit is." ”
He saw Dou Zhangming's wine glass raised again, and he drank with confidence.
Dou Zhang knew about this!
But of course, Dou Zhang will follow Lan Ting's words and say: "After all, the king of Linzi is a prince, there is no conclusive evidence of guilt, there is really nothing to be done, only picket and be greedy, and it is always inevitable that there will be disasters...... The women's Taoist family will complain for a while, but as long as they don't forget the internal rules of women's morality, the treatment of qi is only temporary, so why bother to suffer yourself. ”
Lan Ting sneered in his heart when he heard this, and probably judged why Dou Zhang would be persuaded, his opponent was indeed not to be underestimated, and when it came to mastering the psychology of indulging human nature, he was willing to bow down to the five bodies.
But he still didn't forget to correct the name of Chungui: "Neizi has never complained about the affairs of Waiyue, she has always understood the righteousness, but the more Neizi is like this, the more guilty the court will be, the court may wish to promise today, and ask Dou Gong to be a witness, no matter how noble the identity of the culprit is, one day, the court will definitely bring his party to justice, and use the head of the first evil accomplice to tell the soul of Waiyue." ”
This table of severed head wine, Dou Zhang, you drink it first.
