Chapter 328: The Death of the Noble
"Really?
Now that Lao Liang, you are in a high position and power, plus us, not to mention protecting Su Gong's writings, it is not difficult to rehabilitate him and make Su Men completely recognize you, do you still need to continue to do that expedient measure? ”
Jiang Chen asked in a playful tone.
"You're trying to win me over? Do you want me to help you deal with Cai Xiang together? Liang Shicheng asked with a strange expression.
"Everyone has the same purpose, they just want to rehabilitate Zhao Xue for Su Gong and the wronged people."
Jiang Chen said in a sincere tone.
"Humph!
Jiang Chen, I admit that you are very smart, but you don't want to take everyone in the world for a fool! ”
Liang Shicheng sneered and left directly.
"There's a door?"
Seeing that Liang Shicheng neither agreed nor refused, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at Yang Jian proudly.
As long as Liang Shicheng remains neutral for the time being, many of the plans will go much smoother, because with Tan Zhen leaving, Cai Jing's eunuch who can speak by Song Huizong's side is only one Tong Guan who is far away in the Jin Kingdom.
"Don't be too happy, I think he wants to eat both."
Yang Jian admonished, then grabbed Jiang Chen and said, "Let's go, go to my place for a drink or two, you haven't been there for a few days." ”
"Huh? Go again? It's not possible today, I still have a lot of hands and tails to finish, I have to go to Fan Lou to watch! ”
Jiang Chen shook his head in embarrassment and refused.
"Don't get involved in the rest of the matter! Nothing good for you! ”
As Yang Jian spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "No matter how noisy the royal people are, they are still a family after closing the door, be careful of others settling accounts after the autumn."
Listen to me, this kind of credit should be earned by Nie Shan and the two princes. Don't you see that Cai Xiang doesn't mean to mix at all?
Besides, your credit is in Jiangnan and not in Bianjing, what's the use of offending the royal family to death? ”
"Adult ......"
Jiang Chen looked at Yang Jian with a touched face: "Don't be so good to me all the time, the more you treat me, the more guilty I feel." ”
"! When you help me inherit the incense, it's too late for me to thank you! ”
Yang Jian was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's attitude, and laughed and dragged him into the carriage.
……
That night, Jiang Chen was dragged by Yang Jian's two ladies, Rou'er and Yu'er to discuss poems all night, but outside there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping, and the wind was noisy.
First of all, King Qiong, King Rui, King Fu and Cao Guogong and other powerful nobles and members of the royal family and their families were invited into the royal palace of Yuqing Villa, and then never came out again.
Immediately, with the help of Zhang Shuye, Gao Yu took over the western suburbs camp and the guard infantry division with the holy decree and tiger talisman, but the integration did not go smoothly, and it is said that many people were killed.
At this point, the front division of the palace and the guard infantry division in the three yas of the forbidden army fell into the hands of Gao Yu, and only the guard Ma Junsi was still controlled by Tong Guan's confidant Liu Yanqing.
Liu Yanqing and his son Liu Guangshi were the famous long-legged generals of the Song Dynasty.
The Ma Military Division under his command and the military horses of Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei were all controlled by Tong Guan, the chief lieutenant of the inspection school, and the leading generals were also Tong Guan's promoted henchmen.
In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty Sanya only has the right to command the troops, and the power to command and send troops is still in the hands of Cai Jing of the Privy Council, so although Gao Yu's power has expanded dramatically, he is still far from being able to compete with Tong Guan.
If it weren't for Tong Guan being used by Jiang Chen to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom, and he didn't return to Beijing as he wished, Gao Yu wanted to take over the Bujun Division, and I was afraid that he would have to compete with Tong Guan......
And after Gao Yu and Zhang Shuye successfully took over the Xidaying and the Infantry Division through murder, Yang Jian, who gave Jiang Chen to the two ladies, and Gu Hongfei, the commander of the Imperial City Division, immediately launched a hot house raiding activity.
Nie Shan was not idle, Yang Jian and Gu Hongfei copied the homes of officials above the fifth grade, and he led Pan Shiyan and Yang Bangyi, the deputy commander of the Jimin Army, to copy the homes of petty officials and officials.
At first, the soldiers were very modest, but then they were all red-eyed, and when they walked, they all dropped silver from their bodies.
In this regard, Nie Shan directly pretended not to see it.
The court officials were not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time.
No one thought that the case of Lao Gongzi would turn into a major case of rebellion involving the royal family and nobles.
In this regard, some people are panicking, while others are gloating and want to take advantage of the fire.
Because of the rule that the children of officials can be crowned as officials in all dynasties and the tradition that the retirement of officials is inherited by their sons and nephews, plus the wives and concubines of officials are full of children and grandchildren.
As a result, as the dynasties continued, the bureaucratic institutions would swell dramatically, and a variety of ruling institutions would emerge one after another.
Under their marriage, officials protect each other, not only ignoring the law and preying on the common people, increasing the instability of political rule, but also causing a serious burden on the state finances.
The rulers of all dynasties have been very troubled by this, but these people are the community of interests of the rulers, and the rulers can only transfer the financial burden to the miserable people in order to maintain the imperial power.
When the common people could no longer bear the ever-increasing oppression and exploitation, the ruler would dispose of some officials and publicize them in the name of doing things for the common people, so as to reassure the people and make them grateful.
In fact, under the rule of Confucianism, with the continuation of the dynasty, there are more and more official institutions, more and more bloated and expanded, and the people will only become more and more miserable.
All the people in the Privy Council know this, and they also know that when the people can no longer bear it, it will be the day of the change of dynasty.
The only solution is to change the system, but that would touch the interests of their entire class, and whoever dares to do it will be a traitor to the class and will surely die without a place to die.
Therefore, under the influence of the Confucian idea of self-preservation, and under the despair of the future of the country, they became more and more greedy.
Because as long as they have enough money and power, when the day comes, they will just change the emperor, and if they can't do it, they can move overseas with the money or simply join the powerful Jin State.
However, with the sudden escalation of the case, they suddenly realized that taking this opportunity could not only clean up a group of redundant officials and redundant personnel, let the broken ship of the Great Song Dynasty last a few more years, vacate the position and arrange the children and nephews of each family, and by the way, it was simply a multiplicity of kills.
As a result, in the name of eradicating the traitors, the court bigwigs began a drastic clean-up and a carnival of redistribution of power.
While cleaning up, they vied with each other to recommend their cronies' sons and nephews, and the direct result was that there were not as many officials who were sent to prison for interrogation as they recommended.
The people didn't know anything about it, and when they saw that the imperial court had got rid of so many corrupt officials at once, they thought that a happy day was coming, and they were all very excited, grateful to Dade, and full of illusions and expectations for the future.
But the old marquis Guo, who was sick in bed, was so frightened that he farted directly!
